Chapter 367: The Heroes

At this moment, student Li Hao had already begun to fight with his own body, and as soon as he started, the Skycom was answered, which even made Li Hao pause for a moment, "A Youyou, just now..."

"Senior Li Hao, you are a big celebrity now. Do I need to make an appointment if I want to see you in the future?" A Youyou said, cold as frost.

"Aiyouyou, you have to hold it in. At least let me fight twenty or thirty times before answering; that way, the momentum is gone," Li Hao laughed. A Youyou wasn't acting very convincingly. "I'm in the team dormitory. Look, I was a bit tired just now and fell asleep."

A Youyou's face, which had been a bit angry, suddenly became worried. "What's wrong? Are you hurt? Did you go to the hospital to get checked out?"

"I'm fine, just tired. I'll be okay after a rest," Li Hao smiled. A Youyou was too easy to coax. Did he save the Solar System in his past life?

"You wait, I'm coming over to find you," A Youyou said.

"Ah, how are you coming over?" Li Hao was naturally happy, but then he thought that A Youyou was definitely a hundred times more eye-catching than him. If she came to his dormitory, it would be a headline in a moment.

"Hmph, I have much more experience in this area than you. Stay put, Senior!" A Youyou smiled and turned off the Skycom to prepare.

Su Yu, standing to the side, gritted her teeth in anger. "Young Miss, you are throwing yourself at him. Can you be a bit more reserved?"

At this time, A Youyou was packing an exquisite lunch box. The catering at the Galaxy Center was quite good, but Su Yu still felt it was a bit crude, so she had specially ordered something better. But looking at the situation, A Youyou intended to deliver the takeout in person.

"Aunt, I'm going to ask him about the situation with the Ocean Heart. At worst, I'll borrow it for you to wear."

"Forget it. If I wore it, you'd nag me for a lifetime, and I couldn't handle that. Just remind him at the right time; I'm not in a huge rush... just normally rushed."

Su Yu was actually fine, but at a banquet a few days ago, she had run into a few business rivals. After some verbal provocation, she had bragged a bit. And now, she was being targeted by them. Currently, the Ocean Heart couldn't even be found at auction houses; there was demand but no supply.

"Received, Aunt, don't worry, I will urge him!" A Youyou had actually already put on her makeup; she was "Assistant 66" for Arths. This method had been used many times already.

Looking at Su Yu, whose joy was written all over her face, she felt helpless. Is Lu Bu in the eyes of a lover?

This kid must have saved the Galaxy in his past life!

The second wave of the Top 16 Tournament had already begun, and the battle situation was indeed very intense.

The Round Table Knights team defended the combat power of the USE's number two seed, forcefully suppressing the Mars Babaro team, already leading two to zero. Chen Ang was worthy of being a member of the Apocalypse; perhaps it was truly the dominance brought by Li Hao's sudden emergence, as he forcefully took the key Vanguard battle, allowing the Round Table Knights to win the initiative. This caught the Babaro team off guard. Following closely, Vice Captain Greg won another match, directly forcing Babaro into a dead end. Jie Yan had to step up to salvage the situation. Because they lacked the initiative, Jie Yan directly provoked Aofei in public, wanting to fight Aofei.

This situation was common; when at a disadvantage, using words to provoke the opponent was a tactic Martians were very good at.

The Round Table Knights could choose to use the Tianji horse-racing strategy, or they could choose to directly crush Jie Yan. Each had its pros and cons. The Tianji strategy would certainly ensure a three-to-one victory, but there would still be variables. Directly engaging in battle carried the possibility of losing, but as the USE's number two seed and one of the representative figures of the Earth Federation, Aofei directly chose to engage!

Crushing Jie Yan would mean there would be no more suspense in this match, and besides, after watching the battle between Romero and the second brother, she was also feeling a bit itchy for a fight.

Aofei.

As the number one female mecha pilot of the USE, her popularity was undoubtedly high. There were countless supporters at the scene, and even more in the live broadcast room. The Round Table Knights Academy was also buzzing with noise; Aofei had always been the captain they trusted, and in no way was she someone a Babaro team could provoke.

As the main rival for comparison, Dita also arrived at the scene. She wanted to see if Aofei could pull off something spectacular.

Battlefield: Kepler Jungle.

Aofei chose the Yaoying Athena, and Jie Yan chose the Blood Sacrifice Genesis. Although he was a newcomer, he had been hyped up very highly on Mars. Jie Yan had to produce enough of a track record to prove himself. Having lost to the Lone Wolf Romero of Tianjing, he had already fallen from the altar. In just a few short hours, Romero had been criticized from top to bottom until he was left with no dignity.

Jie Yan's eyes were filled with the fanaticism of wanting to make a name for himself. Among the many deadly contestants, Aofei was undoubtedly the one with the biggest fame and the softest strength. Coupled with Romero's downfall, this was the moment for his rise—the Chosen One!

The great battle began.

On the No. 2 battlefield of the Galaxy Center, the Galaxy Team, led by the War God Maxis, was accepting the challenge of the Ockman team led by Minar. This battle, which was thought before the match to potentially cause some obstacles for the Galaxy Team, was also a test of whether the Galaxy Team had truly returned as kings.

As soon as the match started, the Galaxy Team gave the entire Solar System a show of force.

Vanguard Taichen hammered the Ockman vanguard Lima Suo. Ockman had always possessed the blood of the bravest ethnic group in the European region, and their combat style was rigorous and disciplined, which was why they had always been a powerhouse in the S Tournament. Being hammered like this was rare. Taichen displayed a terrifying Wind Force. Another excellent controller of Wind Force was Wuzang, but Wuzang felt like the wind in an alley—delicate but lacking in ferocity—while Taichen was like a gale on the ocean, directly sweeping away Lima Suo in a destructive wave.

The one who fought in the second match was Vice Captain Weijia, a controller of Fire Force brought by the Golden Zone. Ockman's Fara was fighting and didn't even know when they had been hit, falling into a coma.

The third match was the most terrifying one. Ghost Shadow Milner went out to turn the tide of the battle. However, the one waiting for him was not the War God Maxis, but the Galaxy Team's Sniper, Jie Jie. At this moment, the entire Solar System thought that Galaxy was using tactics to throw away one game so they could advance easily.

Facing Ghost Shadow Milner's signature Leimanba Flash, Jie Jie revealed the Lieying Apollo. In the Arena mode, a Leimanba fighting a Lieying was simply like a father spanking his son, especially since this was Ghost Shadow Milner's Light Type assassin. This was the most prestigious Light Type pilot in the USE.

Yet, it was this very match that overturned the Solar System's understanding of mecha. Jie Jie wasn't there to give away a win; he used the Lieying Apollo to launch a counter-attack. Jie Jie possessed a relatively rare freezing ability among Thunder, Wind, Fire, and Ice. He didn't choose an armor-piercing heavy sniper rifle, but a Laser Gun. His K23 ability gave the lasers a certain freezing effect, which directly posed a threat to the pilot, to the point where Milner's attack techniques couldn't be displayed at all. Milner, who had already reached the Flowing Heart Martial Arts realm, had strong resistance to supernatural abilities, and there were indeed a few opportunities to close in, but the Lieying kept pulling away. The Galaxy players were powerful not just in individual ability, but also in tactical literacy. The Lieying mecha kept a sufficient distance from the Leimanba at all times. Solid individual technique combined with deceleration and slowing effects drove Milner mad.

The usually calm Milner broke his defense, directly activating his Concealment ability to try and perish together with the Lieying mecha, but he was beaten to an explosion by Jie Jie, who controlled the distance, without ever touching the Lieying Apollo from start to finish.

This battle also set a new live broadcast record for the Top 16 Tournament, with over three billion people watching the Galaxy sniper beat the assassin-type Milner. The combination of the K23 Element and the Golden Zone broke the shackles of mecha types, and a new combat method was born.

Milner's failure caused his teammates to completely lose their fighting spirit. The Galaxy Fleet once again quickly swept the Ockman team 4-0, announcing their return as kings and making all their opponents tremble.

At this moment, the happiest were undoubtedly the Moon fans. The defending champion was in high spirits, the champion from two tournaments ago had returned as kings, and the new generation's Sea Dragon was unstoppable. With the three chariots escorting them, the Moon would usher in a new era.

The match between Aofei and Jie Yan was very grueling. Jie Yan displayed the ruthlessness and tenacity of a Martian warrior, constantly wearing Aofei down, playing steadily, but searching for opportunities like a wolf. Once he discovered a flaw in Aofei, he would launch a fatal tear.

Dita watched seriously, as did Zhou Naiyi, who was also at the scene. The three of them were currently the best users of the Yaoying Athena. Although they might not necessarily run into each other, the other's performance could provide them with great inspiration.

Zhou Naiyi knew that Aofei's ability was definitely not just Lightning Acceleration; that was only auxiliary. If Jie Yan's terrifying attack were to collide head-on, it would at least be a mutual destruction tactic. But strangely, the time point and position of Aofei's attacks were exactly one second before Jie Yan launched his attack and reached his peak—that is, the second Jie Yan was most uncomfortable and needed most. Experts are the ones who seize this one second, but almost no one could do it; more often, it was a comparison of moves and the dismantling of those moves.

To the point where the scene became destructive, Jie Yan was directly broken, and the Round Table Knights forcefully strangled the rise of the Martian teenage genius.

When Ockman suffered a crushing defeat, Aofei led the Round Table Knights to defend the dignity of Earth, also beating Babaro four to zero, fiercely rubbing the representatives of the Martian new generation into the dirt.

Similarly, in the North Caro match at the Galaxy Center's No. 3 venue, the pinnacle of Earth, the great North Caro did not let their supporters and fans down, also leading three to zero. Dreamy's Fire Titan Gangbilius appeared; they also knew they couldn't beat North Caro, but being shaved bald was absolutely unacceptable. However, waiting for Gangbilius was not the Nine-Headed Dragon Chaoqinglong, but the Supernova Ye Tong.

Yes, Ye Tong from the Ancient Martial Arts Family. Another Ancient Martial Arts representative from Earth, Wuzang, had just given a satisfactory answer, but North Caro was a bit ruthless, directly letting a newcomer face the seasoned Fire Titan, which was also brutal.

Would Gangbilius make the little girl cry?

Her absolute beauty and her Ancient Martial Arts family background made Ye Tong the focus of attention. Ma Laoshi was thinking about her constantly. Ye Tong already had tens of millions of followers and was hailed as Aofei's successor, but whether she was a vase or not, it still depended on actual combat.
