Chapter 138: The Taste of an Ordinary Person (Part 2)

Ma Long encountered Sheng Man's venomous pinching attack; everyone thought he had made some major discovery, but clearly, he hadn't done any proper work along the way—after all, exotic customs are the most distracting.

"Everyone, tidy up first, then make the final pre-battle preparations," Zhou Naiyi said. Regardless of whether Solomon was intentional, it had clearly affected their state, and they needed to clear away their distracting thoughts.

Each person had a 100-square-meter single room, and the refrigerators were fully stocked with all kinds of food. It didn't really feel like an academy; it was more like a suite in a five-star hotel. If he hadn't been afraid of losing face, Ma Long would have wanted to take photos in the vehicle to show off.

Zuo Xiaotang lay on the bed, not wanting to move, while the girls were, of course, taking photos.

Zhou Naiyi had already arrived at the operations room, and Li Hao was there too. The data was already listed on the large screen; in fact, they had studied it many times over the past few days, but today they still needed to reorganize it.

Udier Team:

Team Leader Solomon, Number 2 Position, sophomore, ranked 8th in the EMP Number 3 Position, Golden Gene manifestation is multi-line precision control ability, specializes in Mecha: Ming Wang atha.

Vice Captain Luo Xin, Number 1 Position, sophomore, Longshen T, successor of the Luo family spear, ranked 15th in the EMP Number 1 Position.

Seth, Number 5 Position, senior, Gray Reaper, ranked 32nd in the EMP Number 5 Position.

Kaiste, Number 2 Position, freshman, Silver Fox Mecha, ranked 18th in the EMP Number 2 Position.

Milton, Number 2 Position, senior, Silver Fox Mecha, ranked 35th in the EMP Number 2 Position.

Among them, Solomon, Luo Xin, and Kaiste are all Supernova. In terms of overall lineup ratio, the Udier Team is one level higher than Galileo, and the configuration is better, with higher future growth potential. Solomon is not the Team Leader because he is a prince; in the most fiercely competitive Number 3 Position, being able to enter the top ten is a very difficult thing. To obtain this ranking, one must maintain it for at least a week before it is counted in the results.

Luo Xin is a terrifying Warrior who can operate the Longshen T like a medium-sized Mecha. As a successor of Ancient Martial Arts, although he does not belong to the five great families, his spear technique is truly peerless, and he is also a top expert brought in by Udier Academy with heavy investment.

Kaiste is another genius Vanguard, like Ye Tong and the others, a Supernova already reserved in the Mecha Preparatory Class. His Golden Gene manifestation is the "Reaction" type, which belongs to a very high-quality ability.

Seth and Milton are experienced, team-oriented players. The entire Udier Academy configuration is quite advantageous, and there is a high probability that Solomon, Luo Xin, and Kaiste will fight in the singles matches; they are very confident in this regard.

The team members had all arrived. Zhou Naiyi still emphasized their mindset; the opponent was much stronger than Galileo. With the current situation of Tianjing Martial Arts, only by fighting for their lives could they obtain a glimmer of hope. In fact, at this time, Ma Long and the others had also calmed down. Ma Long's wisecracking was also to relieve the tension; he wasn't really going to be distracted by the flowers and plants before him. Everyone knew very well what tomorrow's battle meant.

A night passed.

Dawn broke. When the morning sun rose, the beauty of Udier Academy was truly fascinating. Li Hao slept very soundly, but Ma Long and the others had already gotten up; they hadn't slept well. As for Zuo Xiaotang, he had insomnia.

Ma Long washed his face and combed his hair meticulously. Looking at his handsome self in the mirror, he slapped his left cheek with a *slap*, "Ma Long, you are the best, kill them!"

Zuo Xiaotang was sitting cross-legged in meditation, holding a poster in each hand, muttering something mysterious; it was probably a two-dimensional spell.

Zhou Naiyi looked at all the opponents' intelligence one last time and closed her eyes to rest, as if she wanted to digest it all.

Wuzang was doing his morning exercises, unwavering. For someone who is always preparing for battle, the battlefield is a kind of enjoyment; he hoped to encounter a strong opponent.

Huo Ying... was still sleeping, a smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, drooling happily.

At ten in the morning, at the Wudier Holy Fire Arena, the ten-thousand-person arena was already full. Yise City, located near the equator, should have been very hot, but in the Holy Fire Arena, it was a constant temperature of twenty degrees.

The atmosphere of the home field was undoubtedly super enthusiastic. Do not harbor any wishful thinking that the opponent would deliberately throw the match just because they had already advanced; that did not exist. Solomon and the others had long been waiting in full battle array. Tianjing Martial Arts analyzed the opponents, and the opponents had dissected Tianjing Martial Arts until they were stripped bare. Li Hao, Wuzang, and Zhou Naiyi were the number one threats, and then it dropped a level. Ma Long, Zuo Xiaotang, and Huo Ying, in the eyes of Udier Academy, were simply not qualified to participate in the S Tournament. Perhaps they had a bit of talent in their respective positions, but the flaws were truly too obvious. Even Zuo Xiaotang, who could perform the Arc Shot, was actually a burden; a single Arc Shot couldn't represent anything, after all, the opponent wasn't a target just standing there letting you show off your technique.

But it was such a team that gave Udier Academy a huge headache. At the very least, Solomon could not formulate a set of tactics he was certain of. He knew Li Hao was training his troops, even training in a way that seemed a bit arrogant to outsiders, but there was no help for it; as long as he was there, he had that confidence.

The hosts were the sisters Xilai'er and Xiniya, whom they had seen yesterday. They began to introduce the participating members of both sides. Also because the Udier Team had been concentrating on training, when they introduced Tianjing Martial Arts, they also received quite a few cheers. Of course, the atmosphere here was just as hot as the weather.

With a transparent dome covering it, the entire Holy Fire Arena entered a badass 5D holographic broadcast state, giving every spectator an immersive experience, feeling the fanaticism of Mecha combat.

Following Xilai'er's sexy wave, the first match began, "Vanguard battle, Luo Xin vs. Zhou Naiyi!"

The Vanguard battle relates to the rhythm; both sides wanted to seize the initiative. Zhou Naiyi finally appeared on stage, and Solomon on the opposite side also guessed that Li Hao would definitely not go up in the first match; it was highly probable he was being saved for the third match, and he would also appear in the third match. Not everyone had the opportunity to fight Li Ge. Once he thought about having the chance to solo kill Li Ge, Solomon felt both stimulated and nervous. Yes, there hadn't been one before, but now everyone had a chance. The outcome of a Mecha battle is just a split second; everyone makes mistakes, even if just one detail is caught.

As a prince, Solomon was born at the peak. In fact, he already had most of the things people pursued, but after becoming obsessed with Mecha, he found his life's goal. The wealthier one is, the more persistent they will be about their interests. In the Tianqi Youth Class, that place where all the elites of the Solar System gathered, suddenly, he experienced the feeling of being an ordinary person, and also saw the geniuses among geniuses.

Scene—Giant Ancient Roman Arena.

Zhou Naiyi (Gale Zero) vs. Luo Xin (Longshen T)

Luo Xin chose the Titanium Overlord Spear. Luo Xin's breakout battle was during last year's S Tournament, when he used the Longshen T to beat the Titan people's Giant God Soldier, becoming famous in one battle.

The two Mobile Suits entered the arena, and the cheers of the whole audience rose wave after wave. The Longshen T's Titanium Overlord Spear popped out, *hum*...

The long spear shook, pointing at the Gale Zero.

Zhou Naiyi's Laser Gun was unsheathed, and the battle began. The Gale Zero's engine roared, keeping its distance, and the Laser Gun swept around.

If it were Wuzang, he would definitely have gone straight for it, but Zhou Naiyi would certainly choose a battle strategy favorable to herself first.

The laser roared, and Luo Xin fell into defense. This made Luo Xin a bit annoyed; damn it, to be defending against cold shots when it was time to show off and be cool, it was too unmanly.

The Titanium Shield was set for defense. In fact, in terms of firepower, the Longshen T also had heavy firepower, but how could that be satisfying? Especially in this kind of exchange in the arena.

Oppressive defense, Luo Xin pressed forward steadily, constantly shortening the distance. Once he entered the effective attack range, it would be his time to perform. Zhou Naiyi also knew that relying on lasers would be difficult to resolve in this situation, but the necessary procedures had to be followed; what if there was a chance?

Matrix point-blank shot!

The Longshen T creaked, *boom*...

Braving the laser, it burst forward, directly entering the attack range. Dodging clearly had no way out; this had already entered the Flash Strike distance. The Gale Zero's Laser Sword was unsheathed, and it went straight to meet it.

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Luo Xin's mouth, and the Tyrant Spear swept across.

*Clang*...

The Gale Zero trembled violently. Zhou Naiyi knew it was bad; the opponent's strength was beyond imagination. She wanted to pull away, but it was already too late. The long spear entangled, pressing step by step. The Luo family spear had both the Overlord's aura of great opening and closing, and the delicate technique of a butterfly among flowers. The Titanium Overlord Spear clicked continuously; one inch longer, one inch stronger.

The long spear was like a dragon, a rain of pear blossoms.

The entire audience stood up and cheered, fully able to feel the dominance of the Dragon God Mecha and that crushing momentum.

Ma Long and the others were completely stunned. Is he this fierce? How could he be this fierce?

Zhou Naiyi is one of the few top experts in Tianjing Martial Arts, yet she was beaten until she didn't even have the power to fight back. Zhou Naiyi's EMP had also reached 2500, but this gap could not be experienced through EMP scores, because some people don't care much about scores, while others rely entirely on them.

The Titanium Overlord Spear didn't want to succeed in one blow, but rather kept suppressing the Gale Zero, using spear techniques to make the opponent's flexibility unable to be exerted. This is where Luo Xin is terrifying; his Longshen T has the oppressive power of a heavy Mecha and the flexibility of a medium Mecha. This is also the reason why Udier Academy spent a lot of money to poach him. Supernovas are also divided into different levels; in terms of singles, Luo Xin is top-tier.

If you don't have the skills, how dare you go up the mountain?

*Boom*...

A centered shot, the Gale Zero leaned back violently. The Dragon God Mecha stepped forward, the second stage of the long spear strike entered, and the Gale Zero was in imminent danger.

In the Tianjing Martial Arts arena, there were more people than when they were fighting on the home field. This was a life-and-death battle for Tianjing Martial Arts, but the current situation felt like it was going to be bad. From the beginning, no one thought this battle would be easy; the Udier Team was indeed much stronger, and Tianjing Martial Arts had to fight for their lives. Moreover, the opponent was on their home field. They thought the opponent would have a more relaxed mindset since they had already advanced, but now it looked like that was not the case at all.

Everyone stared quietly at the Gale Zero in the center of the arena, "Sister Yi, come on!"

Just at this moment, with a *boom*, the Gale Zero, which had been completely passive, counterattacked.

Flash Strike—Swallow Returns!

Zhou Naiyi knew Luo Xin's strength very well and had repeatedly watched many of his battle videos. Like Wuzang, this kind of solid fighting foundation was truly too strong. In fact, Zhou Naiyi shouldn't have been sent for this match, because it didn't suit the exertion of Zhou Naiyi's characteristics; she was more suitable for large-scale combat, not limited to small-range singles. But Li Hao made the decision, and Zhou Naiyi executed it. Fighting head-on was impossible; there had to be tactics.
