Chapter 405: The Overbearing Nine-Headed Dragon

"Dita has changed a lot compared to before." Pegluosa and the others were all there; Dita was considered the little sister among the Big Dipper Seven Stars, and also the only one who was not an Awakened, so everyone was quite protective of her, and they never went too hard during practice matches.

"Chao Qinglong is too strong, and Dita's improvement is obvious; in fact, there were already signs of it during the Mid-Season Tournament," Zhu Hongye said. The contestants themselves found it completely unbelievable that Dita could actually make it into the top eight. Last year, Dita had already shown signs of decline; after all, without undergoing rigorous training, her ability and willpower were at a disadvantage during confrontations. This year, the rise of the Golden Zone was even more of an Awakened's domain, yet Dita had actually gone against the current.

Chao Qinglong was an S-rank Awakened figure back in the day, and now he was already unfathomable. Facing such pressure, Dita was actually not flustered at all. She might not have felt it much herself, and her teammates probably thought it was normal, but to Zhu Hongye and the others, it was like watching a myth.

Was Chao Qinglong's oppressive force something so easy to resist?

"I heard it was Li Ge who gave her pointers," Huang Chao laughed. "This is turning up the difficulty for Chao Qinglong."

"Dita has always been very close to Li Ge, so it makes sense for him to give her a few pointers. Regardless, the outcome cannot be changed."

Dita's swift lightning strikes were all dodged by the Night mecha's Swaying Flash. The Blood Moon's counterattacks were few, but each one was perilous, making everyone break into a cold sweat for Dita. During the confrontation, Dita's physical stamina and Golden Zone were being rapidly consumed, while the opposing Night mecha was emitting black light flames all over, as deep and bottomless as a black hole. This attack frequency, which was often impossible to capture even with the naked eye, had no effect on the Night mecha.

A set of Twenty-Eight Chain Assassination missed, a cold glint flashed from the Blood Moon, and the Yaoying Athena immediately took to the air while the Oath Sword struck out—Reverse Flash Swallow Flying Return!

The combination of offense and defense instantly opened up the distance, yet what awaited her was not the Blood Moon. The Night mecha almost pierced the Oath Sword into the ground, performed a Thousand Catty Drop to land early, its engine roaring, and it catapulted up like a rocket, kicking the Yaoying Athena flying. It immediately followed up with a second-stage engine control, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap...

Continuous mid-air stomps kicked the Yaoying Athena directly twenty-plus meters into the air, followed by a high whip kick, Boom...

The Yaoying Athena plummeted to the ground, and the Night mecha in the air also lost its patience, diving down as the Blood Moon stabbed toward the Yaoying Athena on the ground.

At this moment, Dita, having suffered a series of heavy blows, was already pale and injured in many places, but her gaze was extremely firm. Although she was in a difficult and disheveled state, she had blocked every single strike—the final counterattack!

Boom.

The red light flames suddenly contracted, a bolt of golden lightning exploded on the surface of the mecha, and a giant golden Giant light shadow was born.

Flowing Heart Martial Arts—Golden Law Soul Essence!

Pop.

The Blood Moon stabbed into the ground, but the Yaoying was gone. The next moment, a huge lightning field appeared.

The Yaoying Athena stood in the field, and the Oath Sword had completely turned golden.

Daliven Lightning Matrix!

The Yaoying Athena was gone, instantly appearing in front of the Night mecha, Clang, clang, clang, clang...

Chao Qinglong's confident Swaying Flash miscalculated this time and did not dodge the attacks. In an instant, the Night mecha took several sword strikes in a row; the scabbard and the Blood Moon formed a double defense, but the Yaoying Athena flashed and vanished. The attack and movement speed had already exceeded the reaction limit of the Night mecha—that is, Chao Qinglong's technical ability—otherwise, it would not be an injury now, but a GG.

Within a fifty-meter diameter with the Yaoying and Night mecha as the axis, it was filled with tangible lightning trajectories. This was what Dita had left behind from her constant attacking and defending; it was like a giant web woven by a spider. This trajectory acceleration was the limit of the mecha and human reaction.

Even with prediction added, the Night mecha could only passively take a beating. The most serious one had already pierced through its left chest. In an instant, the hundreds of thousands of Moon People at the scene, who had been suppressing their desire to cry, suddenly went crazy, shouting and cheering desperately for Dita. At this moment, they saw the hope of victory.

If she could defeat Chao Qinglong, the situation could be reversed, and everything would be possible. This was a chance to become a legend in one battle!

If Dita could defeat Chao Qinglong, regardless of the final win or loss, it would be a fatal blow to the morale of North Caro.

United as one, the barrage of the Moon People on the live stream flew. Huonan also took the opportunity to shout, "Hold on, hold on, stay steady, keep up the strikes! Let him show off! Player Dita has used a Lightning Matrix style that has never appeared before. The Yaoying is already the most excellent Light Type mecha, and combined with its inherent movement method, this is the limit speed of a mecha!"

Defeating Chao Qinglong, although it felt good for the Moon People, was not a bad thing for the Martians.

The Martians in the live stream were also afraid that the world wouldn't be chaotic enough and joined the battlefield one after another. On the arena, the situation was very difficult. The Night mecha had fallen into complete passivity. Black flames burned on the surface of the mecha, showing a strong ability to resist the Zone, but it only delayed death. It had to be said that the defensive ability of the Blood Moon scabbard was a huge help at this time; Chao Qinglong couldn't move out of a three-meter range at all.

Now both sides had entered the final stalemate. The continuous strikes had made Dita's Soul Essence unstable; that golden giant image began to flicker, and the light flames began to dissipate, but Dita's eyes still had no fluctuations. She had never felt so free, so happy, in her life.

Her blood-red pupils began to glow with gold, and the Yaoying Athena seemed to feel its master's fighting spirit, emitting a huge roar. The giant six-pointed star lightning trajectory was completed, and in an instant, six Yaoying Athenas surrounded the Night mecha simultaneously.

This was not an illusion, but the Matrix Six-Point Slash!

Bang, bang, bang.

The Night mecha blocked three swords but was hit by three. The next moment, Dita's Yaoying Athena returned to the starting point, face-to-face, and launched the final charge toward the Night mecha.

As the Team Leader of Tianxing Martial Arts, she wanted to win a victory for her team, at any cost!

The few people in the contestant area frowned. Dita's strength had already reached its limit just now; using it like this was consuming her life force. Moreover, while others were watching with boiling blood, in the eyes of top experts, Chao Qinglong... hadn't even exerted his full strength yet.

Supreme Athena Lightning Thrust!

The Yaoying Athena charged toward the Night mecha regardless of everything. The hearts of the entire audience were in their throats, but just at this moment, a change occurred.

The Oath Sword, which was only a meter away from the Night mecha, stopped. To be precise, the entire Yaoying Athena stopped.

The Night mecha's left hand was burning with black flames, directly pinning the Yaoying Athena in mid-air.

Zing.

The Blood Moon swung, a red light flashed, Crack...

A crack appeared on the chest of the Yaoying Athena, and the mecha was cut in two...

The whole arena was silent. The Blood Moon slowly slid back into its scabbard, and the scarred Night mecha stood there.

He began to look forward to the semi-finals.

A few seconds later, earth-shattering cheers erupted throughout the Galaxy Center No. 2 Venue. The Earthlings were completely boiling over, and the deafening screams shot straight into the clouds. North Caro was the first Earth team to advance to the semi-finals.

Great North Caro, invincible Nine-Headed Dragon!

Nine-Headed Dragon, Nine-Headed Dragon, Nine-Headed Dragon, Nine-Headed Dragon.

Over the years, it was this person who had upheld the dignity of Earth. This time, in such a difficult S11, the aircraft carrier that was North Caro continued to move forward, sweeping Tianxing Martial Arts four to zero and killing its way into the semi-finals.

"Brothers, this is our North Caro, our Nine-Headed Dragon! Congratulations again to the North Caro team. At the same time, we must also pay tribute to the opponent. Dita posed a considerable threat; she lost with honor!" Kuangwu Daren could finally shout out loud. "Tianjing Martial Arts is a dark horse leading the trend, but North Caro is the mainstay and the source of morale."

"Everyone also knows that Tianxing Martial Arts is the weakest among the top eight. This time North Caro was lucky. I don't know if they will have such good luck after entering the semi-finals," Huonan laughed. "Tianxing's Dita did indeed perform unexpectedly, causing quite a bit of trouble for Chao Qinglong, and at the same time, she exposed Chao Qinglong's flaws. As long as one pushes their own technique and ability characteristics to the limit, there is a chance."

"Huonan, I'm looking forward to tomorrow," Kuangwu Daren laughed. "This is your last chance."

"Hehe, let's have a showdown tomorrow!" Huonan said. "At the same time, everyone is welcome to continue watching the semi-final battle between the Fire God and Tianjing that I will be commentating on with this person tomorrow. Tomorrow, I will fight him to the death!"

Li Hao in the contestant seats breathed a sigh of relief. What he was worried about was that Dita would get carried away just after mastering her power; once her emotions came up, sometimes she really wouldn't care about anything, but the toll on her body was immense. Fortunately, Chao Qinglong saw it and ended the match in time. Although Dita's Lightning Matrix was powerful, her power level was still a bit behind Chao Qinglong's. Chao Qinglong was just feeling out the patterns; otherwise, it would have ended long ago.

Dita, lying on the stretcher, was still not quite satisfied. This was the most enjoyable match she had ever fought. She felt Chao Qinglong's terrifying power, but this time she was not crushed, not cowardly. Although she failed, she had fought with confidence.

Seeing her teammates rush over, Dita still felt very guilty. As the Team Leader, she had ultimately lost and failed to lead everyone further. She just wanted to speak.

"Boss, you're too awesome! My god, you're the first person to push Chao Qinglong to this point."

"Boss, did you switch people? You're usually not this strong, right?"

When Dita could see the gap, she had already become very strong. Looking at the worshipful eyes of Alzi and the others, Dita's mood improved a bit. She had finally entered the ranks of the strong. She knew this was just a threshold; Chao Qinglong hadn't even brought out his trump cards. These people really didn't know how far they had already come, but Dita's thinking had completely changed. Regardless of talent, just based on what she had paid and experienced, she couldn't compare to these people. Before, she really was looking at the sky from the bottom of a well. Until the moment of breakthrough, no matter what, she couldn't change her own perception—that frog at the bottom of the well.

Listening to everyone chattering, Dita, who had relaxed, felt the pain in her body return all at once. It was heart-wrenchingly painful.

Sometimes, being able to feel pain is a good thing.
