Chapter 341: First Battle Against the Gundam Team (Thanks to Brother Wind and Rain for achieving the great cause of the Billion Allia

With one month left until the S-Tournament, all teams have entered their final, intense preparations. The stage for the S-Tournament is already set; S10 was held in the Space City, a grand space spectacle whose unique scenery left a deep impression on all viewers in the Solar System and even sparked a wave of travel and vacation fever. The home venue for S11 is the Moon, specifically Galaxy, one of the three major lunar cities and the Moon's economic hub. Galaxy has made full preparations for this S-Tournament. The entire city, and indeed the entire Moon, is ready to welcome top experts from all major federations. This lineup is unprecedentedly strong, and there are no rumors of injuries before the tournament; everyone is bringing their maximum strength. Beyond the veteran powerhouses, there are many supernovas. Facing the moment where NUP is pushing for the feat of a three-peat, the warriors of the other three major federations have clearly made comprehensive preparations. Whether they are achievers or terminators, they will all be recorded in history.

At the same time, this S-Tournament is an opportunity for Galaxy City to once again demonstrate its strength to the whole world and all of humanity. Possessing the most advanced technology, the highest GDP, the most interstellar investment groups, and being a paradise for trillionaires, Galaxy City wants to give everyone a surprise. With a total investment of over five trillion, they strive to create unprecedented classic battles.

After promoting each participating team in the previous round, the S-Tournament officials immediately began to fully promote the location of this competition: the Galaxy Center. Galaxy had hosted the S-Tournament before, but this time, for S11, it has been upgraded again based on the original foundation. The new Galaxy Center can be called the number one mecha combat center in the Solar System. It has a total of four sub-venues, adopting spiral ladder layering technology, each capable of accommodating about 200,000 people. At the same time, the four sub-venues can be combined to form a super center. The facilities at every location are also incomparably comprehensive, maximizing the viewing experience, while special floating centers have been prepared for super VIPs to experience an immersive viewing mode.

As the largest and most popular event for humanity, all reservations in Galaxy City are currently maxed out. Because it is in Galaxy, the already popular competition has become even more sought after. All hotel bookings are full, which has also driven the surrounding cities of Galaxy to the same state. Enthusiasts from all over the Solar System had actually started preparing for this trip half a year ago. Of course, to increase the experience, the S-Tournament officials also specially released a portion of lottery tickets.

A Youyou is naturally going to participate, and she is a member of the Tianxing Martial Arts staff. The Tianxing Martial Arts S-Tournament created a historic championship win; now, expectations and fighting spirit are all focused on the mecha team. They are also a veteran powerhouse, but Tianxing's situation is that they are strong but not big—they make the Round of 16 every year, but their best historical result is only the quarterfinals. Now it depends on whether Dita can lead Tianxing Martial Arts a step further. Because of the Starship S-Tournament championship, the morale of everyone at Tianxing is very high; they hope the team can achieve progress.

Li Hao has already sensed this from borrowing money from Dita. Dorm Head Li is actually a very good person to confide in, especially when facing a creditor. From time to time, he even has to act as a sparring partner for Dita. When Dita asks for his opinion, Team Leader Li always gives answers full of strength and hope.

Actually, what Team Leader Li says is quite fake, but Team Leader Dita quite buys into it.

Tianjing Martial Arts is also fully prepared here. The pre-tournament publicity is gradually becoming unimportant. As the S-Tournament approaches, the entire school has become nervous. Tianjing Martial Arts, which once only had some fame in USE, can be considered to have truly made a name for itself. However, the form of this fame is a bit top-heavy and shallow-rooted; it all rests on Puppet. In fact, Puppet himself is also facing the test of the major tournament... This is truly Li Hao's first world tournament journey.

In the past, countless geniuses and countless supernovas were beaten to the point of doubting their lives at the S-Tournament. Even the audience knows that the S-Tournament means a completely different test; every opponent will bring out their full strength to fight for every victory.

Although Tianjing Martial Arts' overall strength was relatively weak back then, they found their own tactics, which was to hold on—desperately hold on—and because they didn't attract much attention, if they were lucky, they could enter the main tournament. But this year is different; Tianjing Martial Arts, even if not the focus of everyone's attention, is at least a target for all. When it comes to fighting bosses to gain experience, Tianjing Martial Arts is much easier to deal with than the likes of Galaxy. Moreover, there are only 64 teams participating this time, all in a knockout format. However, the first round is a qualifying round, which will select the 8 seeded teams with the best results from last year to ensure they don't meet in the first round. Once they pass the first round, the brutal slaughter begins; everything is left to fate.

The schedule and such have no impact on Li Hao.

The entire team's current situation is adjusted quite well. Cheng Konghai's injuries are finally fully healed, and he can participate in this competition with full strength. Wuzang can proficiently master Burning Will. Zhou Naiyi has entered Burning Will; although her mastery is average, Sister Yi's ability is quite special. Ma Long and Zuo Xiaotang have proficiently mastered Red Pupil, but both are stuck at the threshold of Burning Will. Overall, the impact on mecha combat is not that absolute, and the team's overall coordination is getting better and better.

Looking at the situation of the teams in the S-Tournament, the overall strength of the Tianjing Team is a bit uneven, but the tacit understanding between the dorm brothers is still very good. Zhou Naiyi herself has a very good grasp of the big picture and extremely strong coordination. Cheng Konghai is a fierce warrior, so there is even less to worry about. Now it just depends on what the actual combat is like.

Everyone is also filled with a mix of anxiety and excitement.

One week before the competition, representatives from the four major war zones draw their qualifying round opponents. This segment is actually quite cruel; a first-round exit is something no team wants to see, so the opponent is very important, and there is a large element of luck involved here.

Eight teams have been classified as T1 level based on last year's record and this year's Mid-Season Tournament results. They will not collide with each other in the first round. According to past experience, they are almost guaranteed to advance to the next round. They are:

NUP: Galaxy Team, Eternal Team, Carmela Team; USE: Beikarosai Team, Round Table Knights Team; ROM: Fire God Team, Langwu Team; TAS: Wailing Team.

The drawing representative for Earth is Major General Wufa, who once achieved brilliant results at the S-Tournament. The drawing representative for the Moon is Arths; this was the demand of countless lunar fans. If the Arths of the past was somewhat unqualified, now, as the king of the Starship S-Tournament and a newly promoted female War God, she is absolute glory! The drawing representative for Mars is Major General Iron Blood, Lagrange from the Wolf Martial Sect, who is a pillar of the current ruling party in Mars. His style is quite overbearing, and he is also Romero's uncle.

The drawing representative for the Titan and Star Chain federations is Speaker Anlize of the Space City Chain.

At this moment, over three thousand media outlets in the Solar System are broadcasting live. The four human representatives will draw the opponents for the first round of S11. The host passionately introduces the four "big shots." Su Yu is watching from behind the scenes, her mood a bit agitated. She never dreamed that one day A Youyou could stand at such a height—a height that an idol singer could never reach. Such an aura, the focus of everyone's attention—even with a background like the Daliven Family, it was unthinkable. But A Youyou did it. She suddenly understood why A Youyou wanted to join the army; only in this way could she gain true respect and awe.

At this time, all the major teams in the Solar System are watching the live broadcast, waiting for their opponents.

In Beikarosai, Chao Qinglong leads all the team members sitting upright. Beikarosai is ready, with confidence and conviction like never before. In the Galaxy Team, there is no fluctuation on the handsome face of the War God Maxis, and the team members are also calm; they have also been waiting for this day for a long time. In the Hailong Team, Xilian and the others are also waiting quietly in the war room, their expressions relaxed. As long as they don't run into Tianjing Martial Arts in the qualifying round, it's not that they are afraid, but they don't want to start the main course so early.

………

Some are nervous, some are passionate. It is the same for Tianjing Martial Arts; Li Hao and the others have all been waiting early.

"Awesome, Arths has really evolved again. In the last session, she was still slightly raw, and in the face of the unfamiliar mecha world, she was still a bit uncomfortable. Look at her now; just standing there, facing two generals and one speaker, her aura is maxed out, not losing the slightest bit of ground!" Ma Long said with emotion.

"That's right, Arths is the glory of us girls. Maybe in the future, you will all be proud to be able to work under her!" Sheng Man does not stint on her praise; even for the proudest girl, Arths has exceeded the scope of needing to be jealous.

"Oh my god, how can she be this beautiful and this powerful? All three big shots let her go first." Lu Lingxiao is also a little fan, her eyes full of little stars.

Tan Ziyuan smiles bitterly. What can she do? Losing to Arths, she has no temper at all.

Under the gaze of everyone, Arths reaches into the box and takes out a name card. "Fire God Team, their opponent is... Monte Carlo Team."

The Fire God Team remains expressionless, while the Monte Carlo Team is filled with wails. It's miserable; this damn thing, they are going to be out in the first round as soon as they arrive.

Then the Round Table Knights Team, Galaxy Team, Beikarosai Team, and others were selected for their opponents in turn. The seeded teams are very relaxed; for them, as long as their luck isn't particularly bad, they will advance with their eyes closed. Of course, those matched against them are in chaos, with wails everywhere.

As for when it reached Tianjing.

"Tianjing Martial Arts," Wufa took a look at the name card and said, "the opponent is... the Gundam Team from ROM!"

The entire Tianjing Academy boiled over instantly. God bless Tianjing Martial Arts; perfect! The Gundam Team is the tenth-ranked team in ROM. As long as they don't run into seeded teams or high-ranked teams from other war zones, with the current strength of Tianjing Martial Arts, they have a great chance of advancing to the next round!

The heart and the goal are certainly big, but the reality is placed before Tianjing Martial Arts. Most people didn't expect Tianjing Martial Arts to really make it to the quarterfinals or semifinals, but at least don't get eliminated in the first round. As expected of the guardian god of Tianjing Martial Arts, General Wufa!

Similarly, the Gundam Interstellar Academy of ROM is also cheering and jumping for joy, as if it were a holiday. As the tenth-ranked team in ROM, they don't think of themselves as the weak ones. The ninth-ranked team in USE couldn't even make the top 20 in Mars. Tianjing Martial Arts only has one Puppet as a powerful player; they can take them out four to one or even four to zero, and they can greatly make a name for themselves. Lky!

The academies that found their favorite opponents are cheering, while those with bad luck running into seeded players are crying and howling. Of course, both sides feel the other is a dish, and they are happy together. Running into the likes of Galaxy, Eternal, Fire God, or Beikarosai, they are probably completely desperate. Everyone's killing intent is very high today.

(Thanks to Brother Wind and Rain for his strong support, achieving the great cause of the Billion Alliance. I owe an extra update and will make it up as soon as possible. I will definitely give it my all in the S-Tournament!!! Because it is a knockout tournament, I can't play all the teams. Family members, tell me who you want to see me fight, and I'll arrange it.)
