Chapter 407: Playing the Trump Card

"Tianjing Mecha Martial Arts Team only has two strong points in the true sense: Team Leader Li Hao and Vanguard Cheng Konghai. These two are solidly powerful, with a stable level of Flowing Heart Martial Arts. Li Hao is inevitably in the Soul Origin State, which hasn't been fully displayed yet. In terms of personal strength, he is truly unfathomable. I respectfully call him the Puppet god!"

"Cheng Konghai is also quite remarkable. This Iron Armor Steel Fist of his has opened up a new horizon for mecha. Looking thin and small is just an appearance; he is definitely a talent-type fighter in terms of strength. Moreover, his use of Golden Zone abilities is also very fierce; he is a leader in this year's S Tournament."

"Others like Wuzang, Zhou Naiyi, and Zuo Xiaotang are not strong points in the absolute sense. You can watch the previous matches; their problems and advantages are both very prominent. Furthermore, after being worn down by two rounds of fierce opponents, their abilities are well-known to everyone, and their combat styles have likely been thoroughly studied. Fire God Team shouldn't make low-level mistakes."

"The problem remains Li Hao and Cheng Konghai. If these two can drag the match into a team battle, then everything is an unknown."

"I can only say that both sides in this clash have a chance, and I am especially looking forward to the clash between Puppet and Wolf King!"

"Earth has truly risen this year. Apart from North Caro maintaining its usual level, Tianjing has indeed given everyone a surprise."

With one hour left until the match, the popularity in the live broadcast room has already exceeded ten billion, and the peak number of concurrent viewers is over two billion. For a quarter-final level battle, this is unprecedented.

At this moment, the entire Tianjing City is empty; people are either gathered at Tianjing Mecha Academy or in the city square, waiting for this historic moment.

Tianjing is very famous, but it was limited to the Asian region. In the past, there were honors worth mentioning from Martial Arts laws, but the selection mechanism at that time was different from now, and in fact, the weight was not as heavy as it is today. The gold content of this year's competition is incomparable to the past, and Tianjing Mecha Academy reaching this step did not rely on luck, but on crushing powerful opponents step by step. Every step was very solid.

Fire God Team, this is a stronger opponent they are facing. Semi-finals—can Tianjing Mecha Academy make a breakthrough?

Long Danni is still staying alone in her principal's office, quietly waiting for the start of the match. She is nervous. She has evaluated the two teams in all aspects; Tianjing Mecha Academy's chance of winning is only thirty percent. Fire God is a team with no shortcomings, strong discipline, firm will, and an incredibly clear goal. Those who truly understand know that Maxis is the strongest. On Mars, Basta is the strongest; this is the essence of power.

Can they pass this hurdle?

Mars, Fire God Academy. At this moment, Fire God Team carries the wishes of all Martians. In the strongest S Tournament, a huge opportunity is placed before Fire God Team. Tianjing Mecha Academy is a tough nut to crack, but in the eyes of many, they can only be considered upper-middle among the quarter-final opponents. For Mars, this is a top-tier draw.

Win this match and meet up with Galaxy and North Caro in the semi-finals.

In the operations room, the atmosphere of Tianjing Mecha Academy is still quite heavy. Whether it is the calm Zhou Naiyi or the steady Wuzang, neither has had this kind of experience. During this period, the unprecedented influx of media and people around them—wanting to remain unchanged is simply not in line with human nature. Before, they just held an attitude of "if it happens, it happens, if not, it doesn't matter," but now that they have reached this step, they also want to go further. With Fire God's strength being unprecedentedly powerful, desire and strength intertwine to form pressure. Their nerves are pulled tight; one can clearly see them thinking about the match and the opponent every moment.

Zuo Xiaotang and Ma Long's situation is a bit more serious. Ma Long is simply nervous and under pressure; the level of such a match has exceeded his strength range. It is no longer something that can be solved by hard work unless there is a genetic mutation or a cheat. As for Zuo Xiaotang, he was originally carefree, but Zhou Naiyi assigned him two imaginary enemies, and this responsibility is too heavy.

Sheng Man and others tried to lighten the atmosphere, but it was useless. They are also nervous; no one has experienced such a big scene. At this time, it is not useful to say some chicken soup or high-sounding words. The opponent's strength and experience are real, and what they lack is this kind of major competition experience. Whether successful or failed, the process is a tempering of the soul.

Li Hao and Cheng Konghai don't have much change, but they can't say much either. They can be like this because they have experienced things in Tianqi that ordinary people cannot experience. And Cheng Konghai has fallen from the peak to the bottom; these five years of wandering the streets have made him experience all kinds of human warmth and coldness. It cannot be said that he has seen through everything, but he no longer cares about what he doesn't care about; he only cares about what he cares about.

The truths others speak are always theirs; only what one has experienced oneself is one's own.

The audience outside is roaring like a tsunami. Before the match has even started, the Earth audience and the Martian audience have already set off waves at the scene. One side is Earth blue, the other is Martian red. Neither side is willing to admit defeat in terms of momentum.

The scene is full of guests, and the contestant area is also star-studded. Members of major teams have almost all come. Team Leader Dita of Tianxing Mecha and Goddess Arths have also come to this match. In terms of overall attraction, this match is far higher than the Hailong Team and Wailing Team next door. TAS has always had nothing to watch. In terms of overall strength, Hailong is much stronger than Wailing. Admittedly, Yintai Dumeila has a unique skill that directly targets pilots, but any ability is nothing more than a derivative of the Golden Zone. It is already this time; if Hailong still cannot find a solution, they do not deserve to enter the semi-finals.

While both sides are preparing, something that shocked everyone happened: Team Leader Xilian of Hailong Team... actually appeared at the viewing scene???

Xilian appeared in the contestant seats to watch this match. Is he not fighting on his side???

When the camera gave the shot, the director even doubted if it just looked like him... The camera stayed on him for a long time, and it was in the contestant area. This...

In the official live broadcast room, Huonan and Kuangwu Daren have already played several rounds of games. Huonan is a die-hard fan of Fire God. At this moment, he is firing on all cylinders, making Kuangwu Daren a bit breathless. In short, Fire God will win, and they will definitely burn Mu Jiang like a firewood stick.

"It's not that it looks like him, it is Xilian!" Huonan said decisively, "Just received news, Xilian will not participate in today's match due to physical discomfort."

The camera suddenly focused on Xilian, but Xilian had a smile on his face, completely ignoring the comments and suspicions from the outside world. Such behavior obviously won't get many good words. Even if he is physically unwell and cannot fight, shouldn't he be cheering for his teammates?

Of course, there are also those who think that Xilian came over in advance to observe the opponent, and on the other hand, it also shows that he has great confidence in Hailong Team.

There are also those who think that it was originally Li Xiangshan's team, and this guy is just a display... A Flowing Heart Martial Arts display?

Xilian just looked at the Arena, because in his judgment, Tianjing Mecha Academy is very difficult to pass the Fire God hurdle; there is only a one-in-ten chance of winning. Romero is still too willful, so he can only be a Lone Wolf, but Basta is not, so he is the Wolf King, and he is very well prepared. With Tianjing Mecha Academy's current situation, if it were him, he wouldn't know how to pass, so he wants to come and see.

"Li Hao, don't let me down."

He waited for a very, very long time, just to make an end under the witness of all humanity. If Tianjing Mecha Academy is ruined just like this, he will be very, very angry, and he might do something extreme to vent. A Li Hao who cannot fight him is not worth his patience and respect.

He wants to witness with his own eyes whether Li Hao is still the Li Hao of the past.

The area around Xilian is empty; no one dares to approach him. The people around are all from Tianqi, and they can feel the eerie atmosphere on Xilian.

"Aofei, how is it, does the second brother have any ultimate moves?" Seeing Xilian's appearance, Luo Bi is also a bit worried. In fact, Hunters all know that Xilian, who was born in Rome, has never lost. The only time he almost lost his life, so he wants to win once in front of the entire Solar System.

Aofei shakes her head, "Haven't heard of any moves."

The camera also gave close-ups of the contestants in the operations room. Both sides are already preparing to warm up.

"They look nervous." Luo Bi frowned. This is not the nervousness of ordinary people. Wuzang, Zhou Naiyi, and others are all too serious; it feels like they have to take small breaths. The match hasn't even started yet.

"Think about what Tianjing Mecha Academy was like a year ago. They haven't experienced it, so it's not bad that they can be like this. We are not as good as them." Aofei said helplessly. No one grows up all at once, but there is no time left for Tianjing Mecha Academy now.

"Anyway, it's the second brother and the ant carrying the banner, it doesn't matter." Depuya curled his lips, "If I had known this, I might as well have transferred schools."

"Hehe, you are just a keyboard warrior, what were you doing earlier."

"This definitely won't work. No matter how strong the second brother is, he can't lead the team to the finals alone."

North Caro is not at the scene, but is watching Hailong's match. Chao Qinglong and others didn't expect that even at this time, he actually said he wouldn't fight. This kind of willfulness and doing whatever he wants really hasn't changed at all. At the same time, this also shows that Hailong definitely has a way to suppress Wailing, and Xilian is also not very optimistic about Tianjing Mecha Academy.

Frankly speaking, Chao Qinglong is also not optimistic. Quarter-final level contestants actually have evaluations. Except for Li Hao, Tianjing Mecha Academy is lagging behind in all aspects. Even Cheng Konghai, in the eyes of ordinary people, Cheng Konghai seems invincible, but at their level, he can be completely targeted, not to mention team battles. Tianjing Mecha Academy's team battle level has a large gap from top teams; this is no exaggeration.

How to pass this hurdle, he doesn't know either, but this is only the second brother's first year of comeback. Reaching this point is already a remarkable achievement. It would be impossible for anyone else to achieve it. The future is promising.

In the operations room of Fire God Team, the fighting spirit of all members has been ignited, and all tactics have been formulated. This day has finally come; they are already impatient!

The match has begun.

"Dear audience, this is the quarter-final battle site of the Pan-Solar System Mecha Tournament, I am the fiery Huonan!"

"Hello everyone, I am Kuangwu Daren. What is about to start is a focal battle between Tianjing Mecha Academy and Fire God Team. On one side is the Tianjing Mecha Academy team that has been a dark horse all the way, and on the other side is the Martian king, Fire God. Currently, the support rates for both teams are close to fifty-fifty. Welcome everyone to vote for your team."

"The old folks of Mars are exerting their strength. Take down Tianjing, cast your votes to cheer for Fire God's takeoff!" Huonan shouted with his arms raised. He has no interest in explaining others; this match is the ultimate showdown he has been looking forward to for a long time.

The first vanguard battle begins. Tianjing Mecha Academy takes the stage first, and unsurprisingly, it is Cheng Konghai.

However, the vanguard contestant for Mars shocked everyone; it was actually the Substitute Belastan.

They are playing their trump card.
