Chapter 246: The Fairy's Little Cutie

Viper's stream was a bit explosive, because they hadn't seen clearly what happened; how did a one-sided team fight suddenly explode?

"Brother Snake, what happened? Why are we all looking at this in a daze?"

"Holy crap, since when is the Armor Dragon's Laser Gun fiercer than a sniper rifle?"

"Why do I feel like the opponent's movements were all distorted? Did a few shots just crash into the lasers themselves?"

Viper finished the match, staring at the data on the screen, unable to say a word.

The anonymous Armor Dragon fired 56 shots, 56 effective threats, and 9 hits.

56 shots isn't a lot, it's few. This kind of Laser Gun is usually fired wildly, just aiming in a general direction is enough. This person was using it as a sniper rifle, and the most terrifying part is the effective threat—a 100% effective threat rate means every single one of their shots resulted in a hit or suppression of the opponent.

As a Sniper, Viper had never seen anything like this. In high-tier matches, there is simply no such record, unless one goes to low-tier matches to bully noobs, and even then, it happens once in a few hundred games, and they wouldn't be using the Armor Dragon's standard weapon.

"Brother Snake, tell us, what happened?"

"Yeah, how did this guy play the Armor Dragon like a god-tier sniper?"

"Brothers, hold on. Such a rhythm, of course you can't understand it, and I, damn it, as a former S Tournament player, am also completely bewildered." Viper opened the replay.

They had an encounter; the Armor Dragon had already rushed toward their side at the first moment. The perspective shifted to the Armor Dragon, and everyone was instantly breathless.

At this moment, the Armor Dragon lowered its posture, moving through the Kepler Jungle like a Ghost, as if walking on flat ground, arriving at the battlefield in the fastest time with terrifying speed.

Just this display of support speed left countless people unable to catch up.

The Armor Dragon that entered the battlefield didn't immediately charge in, but first used lasers to alleviate the unfavorable situation on the front line. It's no exaggeration to say that Kuhn and Xiaochao were already in critical danger at the time. Of course, one aspect was that the opponents were also practicing and didn't immediately resolve the two with full force, likely wanting to pull off a "no-damage" perfect battle, but once the Armor Dragon's attack arrived, it immediately changed the course of the battle.

A Sniper assisting the battlefield is a common phenomenon in team fights, but no one does it like the Armor Dragon. In slow motion, several consecutive shots were fired with predictions for two different directions.

This was like a "multi-faceted attack" in Go, and the Armor Dragon executing this precise multi-faceted situation was still on the move.

Slightly alleviating the situation on the front, the Armor Dragon didn't attempt to immediately open up the situation, but moved toward the direction of the Sniper.

Because their judgment was to resolve the Sniper first.

Then, Viper was locked onto by the opponent, just like a mouse that had just discovered a cat. Before August J, the cat, could get cocky, they were interfered with by the Armor Dragon in a hair-breadth moment, saving Viper's life. Viper reacted, their level naturally not bad, and the Armor Dragon didn't linger at all, immediately returning to support the front.

Moore and Zhuo Yimeng were two-on-one, very comfortable. When the Armor Dragon appeared again, Moore dodged the Armor Dragon's attack and simultaneously counterattacked with a laser. At this moment, the slow motion was shown.

Moore had the skill, catching the Armor Dragon's general direction and suppressing with Laser Gun fire, but the huge gap appeared: Moore was only suppressing by direction, while the Armor Dragon was performing precision strikes.

Moore could still dodge by lowering their body; Glory teams often do this kind of emergency evasion training, and the Mecha's movement had considerable lead time. However, the moment Moore stood up, the Armor Dragon's chain attack arrived just in time.

Then, the Silver Fox Mecha was headshot. The time froze in a moment of no defense. Comparing the footage, the Armor Dragon was actually performing a set of chain attacks while rotating to dodge the opponent's attacks, without even looking this way.

Viper rubbed their head, "I damn well suspect I'm seeing hallucinations. Such an awesome prediction to suppress a stand-up? Holy crap, the USE doesn't have a Sniper like this!"

The match continued. Leipzig drove the Gale Zero to catch up to the Armor Dragon. At this moment, the Armor Dragon actually still intended to engage with a Laser Gun, which completely violated the principles of Mecha close-quarters combat.

At this distance, lasers were no longer enough.

Then Viper gave a bitter smile, "Facing an S Tournament player's Cold-blooded Retreat Flying Shot plus arc..."

"Flash Strike, 360-degree Orbital Strike. This skill set is nowhere near a gunner's. If this person used a Titanium Blade, they would definitely be even fiercer. Impressive, I'm convinced!"

"Brother Snake, look at the point-shooting earlier, it seems like it directly crippled the opponent's leg."

"Yeah, since when is the power of lasers so fierce? The Mecha is like thin paper, exploding at a touch."

"Ah, I really didn't notice that." Viper flipped back to the previous interference attacks. Indeed, a few shots hit the opponent and caused serious damage. Viper hadn't taken it too seriously, but once reminded, they knew something was wrong. Mecha shells are made of special materials and have considerable defense and reflection against lasers. If it wasn't a lucky hit, it would generally take continuous strikes to cause heavy damage.

In slow motion, the reason the Silver Fox Mecha suddenly lost balance was that the laser hit the Mecha's joint exactly. Even with the power of a normal Laser Gun, it would instantly cause serious damage to the Mecha. This was the key turning point.

Viper watched the "Knee Terminator" a few times, then suddenly seemed to remember something. They dragged the battle video backward, then extracted the Armor Dragon's 360-degree Spiral Strike again, "Brothers, something is wrong here. This person's combat style is very efficient and concise, but this flashy attack is actually quite redundant, a bit..."

Viper vaguely felt something, but they didn't quite dare to believe it. Did someone really play like this in such a high-tier match?

Then the shooting trajectory was extracted; it was actually quite easy to capture.

The Armor Dragon had used lasers to blast out a big heart shape.

Viper and the buddies in the stream were all bewildered...

At this time, Li Hao was being teased by A Youyou, "Second Brother, how many girls have you used this move on?"

Li Hao's face instantly turned into a look of utter dismay, "Wasn't it you who told me to use a combat method to express love?"

Beside his ear, A Youyou was giggling. Team Leader Li realized he was being teased and wanted to pinch her face; she really was a little fairy cutie.

"A Youyou, when are you coming back?" Li Hao suddenly asked.

A Youyou licked her lips, "Still many days away. I have to go back to the Moon first before I can come find you. Why, did you miss me?"

Li Hao was silent for a while, just as A Youyou was about to speak.

"Miss, very, very, very much," Li Hao suddenly said.

A Youyou clenched her little fist, and a blush slowly appeared on her fair little face, "Me too."

He was originally supposed to be gathering material, but in such an atmosphere, Li Hao had no fighting spirit. Actually, if he had to choose a hobby, he would rather choose delivering food.

"Second Brother, shall I sing for you?"

Li Hao nodded vigorously.

"Wait a moment, I'm going to change clothes," A Youyou said. Singing requires a sense of ritual.

Change clothes?

Li Hao didn't understand, but when A Youyou came out, Li Wu's eyes widened into circles, and his throat made a 'gulp' sound.

A treat!

As the time drew near, the atmosphere of the Mid-Season Training became more and more intense. Unlike the S Tournament, the weight of the Mid-Season Tournament lies in the internal recognition of the major federations. Simply put, the S Tournament is for both professionals and non-professionals to enjoy, while the Mid-Season Tournament is a professional certification, and also the federation's certification of the level of military academies. The team members participating in the Mid-Season Tournament represent their own military academies and will directly affect their military academy's rating for a considerable period of time.

The situation at Tianjing Martial Arts over the past few years had already exhausted the glory that Wu Xun had originally established. If it weren't for Li Hao's sudden emergence, this year's Mid-Season Tournament would actually have been a lost cause. Now, it is crucial for Long Danni; if the Mid-Season Tournament fails, she, the principal, will definitely be out. Regardless, at least they participated last year.

And it is said that the rules for this year's Mid-Season Tournament have changed significantly, and the principals of the major military academies were actually kept in the dark. The only thing that is certain is that the Mid-Season Training has become a true Mid-Season Training, rather than just for the sake of the S Tournament. Past failures have already told the USE that that kind of small-scale civil war is meaningless for the S Tournament.

This year, a total of 36 teams qualified for the Mid-Season Tournament, but unlike the past where all teams could participate in the S Tournament, this year only 16 teams in the entire USE can participate in the S Tournament. The Mid-Season Tournament will directly eliminate 20 teams.

This also means that the S Tournament will be streamlined, and at the same time, the importance of the Mid-Season Tournament for the major federations has been greatly improved.

To put it another way, it is equivalent to handing over the part before the S Tournament proper to the internal parts of each federation. This is also to balance the levels of the Four Great Federations. Participating in the S Tournament together, due to the NUP's overall level being too high, no matter how the mechanism takes care of it, it has suppressed the other three federations, even making some teams take reaching the main tournament as their final goal.

This reform has improved the quality of the Mid-Season Tournament and will also prevent the S Tournament from having people just muddling through; only truly strong teams can stand on the highest stage of the S Tournament.

This change has already been rolled out and has also sparked widespread discussion; the most dissatisfied, of course, is NUP, as they wanted the S Tournament to ultimately be an internal war, and the current situation clearly increases the difficulty for their three-peat.

Meanwhile, on Earth, many military academies are also wailing, because entering the S Tournament is an important indicator and also a fig leaf; you are an S Tournament team, and I am too, you didn't win the championship, and I didn't either, so we are about the same.

The USE Military Department directly stated that this Mid-Season Tournament will be a fight to the death, and all participating members must sign an accidental casualty waiver.

Li Hao and the others were also called to the principal's office, where Long Danni explained the situation in detail, with a "waiver" placed in front of each person.

Li Hao and Wuzang did not feel surprised, but Ma Long and Zuo Xiaotang were in a bit of a bind; Ma Long felt that this was different from what he had imagined, while Zuo Xiaotang was simply afraid of death.

"Principal, are we playing for such high stakes this time? Could there really be a danger to our lives?" With the improvement of his strength, Ma Long now dared to speak loudly in front of Long Danni.

Long Danni looked at Ma Long, "Every year's Mid-Season Tournament has certain accidents, and the individual combat portion requires testing the limits of a Warrior; if you are afraid of life-threatening danger, why apply to a military academy?"

Ma Long's mouth twitched; that was because Tianjing Martial Arts has many beautiful women, Principal, and you look pretty good yourself; if it weren't for Sheng Man, he wouldn't mind an older woman-younger man relationship.
