Chapter 408: Fighting Violence with Violence

Belastan has appeared. There isn't much information available to the outside world regarding this Substitute for the Fire God Team; he is extremely low-profile, and he likely uses a secondary account for his usual EMP training. It's just that the person he is facing is Cheng Konghai, one of the fiercest newcomers this year.

Both sides begin calibrating their equipment and entering the combat selection phase.

The scene is filled with heated discussion; no one knows what kind of effect this move will have. In confrontations between top-tier teams like this, the opening move is crucial and requires careful planning. It is highly probable that Belastan is a specialist player, unleashing a trump card. If it succeeds, it succeeds; if not, he'll just concede the second point, at least letting the powerhouse Cheng Konghai pass by.

"It seems Basta has prepared for a team battle."

"The idea of taking two wins from Li Ge and Ant is inherently unreliable; Basta is likely the most rational one right now."

"If it were me, I'd steadily secure two matches, ideally dealing a heavy blow to the key members, and then decide the outcome in the team battle—that would be the best approach."

"Heh, that's why you can only be down there, while Basta is up there."

The Warriors in the player area are also discussing it; at the very least, Basta is the first to treat Tianjing Mobile Martial Arts as a powerhouse team.

Combat environment: Kepler Jungle.

Cheng Konghai has revealed his Iron Armor Steel Fist; no matter what his opponent chooses, he can hammer them to pieces.

Iron Armor Steel Fist, USE.

Sanheliemianyinqing, Jiabo Titanium System.

Sizhoubeishifuzhuzhuituiji, dual-arm Thunder Fire Laser Cannons.

Belastan hasn't decided yet and is deep in thought, but from the looks of it, he is wavering between several Heavy Armor types, finally settling on the Giant God Soldier Deep Sea Berserker.

Deep Sea Berserker, TAS.

Three-engine Nuclear Fission Drive, Deep Sea Combined Laser Firepower System, Gravity Electromagnetic Cannon, K23 tai jin lang zhua, K23.

Once this choice was revealed, the hearts of the Martians at the scene went half-cold. Is this a turtle formation? The problem is, what is the point of a Giant God Soldier choosing wolf claws? Cheng Konghai's Iron Armor Steel Fist's movement speed and attack frequency are peerless, and his technical maneuvers are even more terrifying. Pure defense?

Can this even block it?

Martians are known for their attacks; they believe the best defense is offense. They chose the TAS turtle shell right from the start—cowardly before even fighting?

As a famous Mars-supporter, Huonan is also a bit annoyed. How is he supposed to hype this? A Giant God Soldier fighting a Heavy Armor is only an ideal scenario; facing Cheng Konghai's Iron Armor Steel Fist, isn't this just a living target? How long can it hold out?

"Could it be that he wants to exhaust Ant's stamina to prepare for the team battle?" Luo Bi was stunned.

"That possibility isn't non-existent. Ant is returning from injury; his stamina might be an issue. Fire God might have made this judgment. If the Deep Sea Fighter only plays defense and the opponent is very skilled, the Iron Armor Steel Fist might really be unable to deal with him for a while." Aofei nodded. "I can't see through it. This Basta doesn't seem like a typical Martian. Ant needs to be careful; don't drag it out, it's best to win as quickly as possible."

The Tianjing Mobile Martial Arts side is also clenching their fists. Overall, this is favorable, indicating that the opponent is still wary of Li Hao and Cheng Konghai. Their goal in the individual battles is to drag it into a team fight; even if they use their weakest player to trade for Cheng Konghai, Tianjing can accept that.

Two Mobile Suits descend into the Kepler Jungle, and the camera also cuts to the two pilots. Cheng Konghai has a smile on his lips, while Belastan is expressionless, appearing somewhat nervous.

The battle begins, engines roar, and the Iron Armor Steel Fist has already charged toward the opponent. The Deep Sea Fighter is a heavy-firepower mecha; *zeng zeng zeng*... four missiles have already been launched in an instant. At the same time, two laser cannons flip up from its shoulders, lasers roaring, bombarding the charging Iron Armor Steel Fist with covering fire.

Boom.

The Iron Armor Steel Fist immediately performs a Flash Strike, red flames enveloping the mecha, charging directly through the firepower blockade. The Iron Armor Steel Fist lowers its center of gravity and charges rapidly under the Deep Sea's firepower. Suddenly, another barrage of missiles and lasers blocks its path. Cheng Konghai doesn't force a head-on collision, instead performing a lateral shift to change his movement path, followed by a right-angle turn to charge at the Deep Sea Fighter again. Amidst constant maneuvering, the distance between the Iron Armor Steel Fist and the Deep Sea Fighter grows shorter and shorter.

Cheng Konghai's piloting leaves everyone stunned. This is no way for a Heavy Armor to move; it is entirely the movement of a Light Type mecha, and there is not the slightest sense of stagnation or hesitation. This is absorbing all the mecha's control feedback force; an average person's muscle tolerance would have cramped up long ago under such high-intensity operation.

Aofei and the others can all sense Cheng Konghai's state. These details all show that Ant has recovered extremely well. If he can use his power so recklessly, then the opponent has almost no chance. This kind of movement combined with the protection of the Golden Zone makes missiles somewhat useful, but lasers are basically just scratching the surface. Moreover, the terrain of the Kepler Jungle greatly reduces their effectiveness. Time is running out for the Deep Sea Fighter.

Belastan is also very clear on this point. He attacks while moving, maintaining his firepower suppression as much as possible, but the missiles are soon exhausted. The shoulder laser cannons fire frantically. At this moment, in the jungle, two laser beams pierce through the flames and blast directly toward the Deep Sea Fighter. Belastan instinctively twists, but one of the shoulder laser cannons is blasted off. Startled, Belastan fully activates his Golden Zone, red light flames enveloping the Deep Sea Fighter, and the Titanium Alloy Shield is already raised. The Iron Armor Steel Fist's response is even more astonishing than he imagined.

At this moment, Cheng Konghai ejects from the jungle like a War God, his terrifying pressure already released. He has felt the pressure on his teammates and needs a clean, resounding victory to boost morale. Breaking through this layer, Wuzang and the others will all evolve.

The distance between the two sides is suddenly only twenty-some meters. The Deep Sea Fighter retracts its shoulder cannons, engines roaring, focusing all its attention on the arrival of its opponent. At the same time, a small round shield appears on its right arm. Dual-shield defense?

This is cowardice to the extreme.

The Martian audience at the scene is silent. They want to build momentum, they want to cheer, but they have no way to start. A large shield plus a small shield—it really is almost like a turtle shell. But can this actually defend against him?

Cheng Konghai's previous performance left too deep an impression. *Pa. *

In the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides closes. The Iron Armor Steel Fist suddenly disappears, its figure suddenly hugging the ground and drilling toward the Deep Sea Fighter. A diving attack?

Boom.

The large shield immediately slams toward the ground. The people of the Fire God Team are watching intently. Ever since the news of Cheng Konghai joining Tianjing Mobile Martial Arts came out, they had been preparing for this match. Basta, this number one Warrior of Mars, knows Li Hao too well. Back then, he knew that Li Hao's goal wasn't just to participate. To defeat Tianjing Mobile Martial Arts, one must target Cheng Konghai. Cheng Konghai's technique is quite comprehensive, especially his proficiency in various ground techniques. Back when they were at Apocalypse, only Klein could compete with him in close-quarters combat; Li Xiangshan could only be considered half a match. To defend against Cheng Konghai's attacks, one needs sufficient combat experience. Therefore, Belastan underwent comprehensive training specifically for this. For a berserker like this, one needs sufficient resilience.

The defense of the large shield causes the Iron Armor Steel Fist's intent to fall through, but the diving Iron Armor Steel Fist's engine roars, its center of gravity shifts, and with one hand bracing, the mecha performs a spin and arrives behind the Deep Sea Fighter. In an instant, the hearts of the Martians went half-cold, but at this moment, the Deep Sea Fighter's reaction is also extremely fast. It has already leaped into the air, dodging the attack by a hair's breadth. At the same time, the Deep Sea Fighter's right elbow has already pressed toward the Iron Armor Steel Fist. If this weight were to land directly, the Iron Armor Steel Fist's advantage would be gone, but the Iron Armor Steel Fist has already vacated the position.

Boom.

Accompanied by a roar, the Deep Sea Fighter misses. Both sides are competing in speed, and clearly, the Iron Armor Steel Fist is faster. It suddenly kicks over, and the Deep Sea Fighter performs a half-squat, the right-arm small shield blocking. *Boom. *

*Mou ju che mou ju che mou ju che nian ju... * Again, again, again, again, again, again, again.

Rotating the large and small shields to block, it stands up. The Iron Armor Steel Fist suddenly throws a right-hand punch, the small shield blocks, followed immediately by a left-fist strike. The large shield tries to pull back, but this speed is already completely unable to keep up. A direct hit! The entire Deep Sea Fighter shakes violently. All the Martians are shocked. How could Cheng Konghai miss such an opportunity? It's a massive opening; he cuts in directly.

Gatling Cannon Fist!

*Da da da da da. *

The Titanium Steel Fist frantically strikes toward the Deep Sea Fighter. Failing to block one hit, Belastan immediately discards the large shield, locks his arms tight, and the entire Giant God Soldier shrinks to block the Iron Armor Steel Fist's frantic attack. Although the massive Deep Sea Fighter is cumbersome, Belastan's defense is truly on point. While constantly retreating, his body twists continuously, not thinking about dodging, but rather minimizing the received attacks as much as possible. Of course, the pilot still endures violent impacts. If it were anyone else, they would have been finished long ago under Cheng Konghai's ferocious attack. At this moment, although Belastan is still holding on, it feels like he won't last much longer. The Earthlings in the audience are cheering frantically; the camera cuts to one Earthling after another, each face beaming with excitement.

*Pa. *

Engines roar, the Iron Armor Steel Fist instantly performs an arc movement, suddenly leaping up, a flying kick in mid-air striking directly at the head of the Deep Sea. The mecha instantly tilts backward, but Belastan forcibly swallows the blood that had reached his throat. The Deep Sea Fighter actually held on.

*Zeng boom. *

But the Iron Armor Steel Fist performs another arc movement. This time, the Deep Sea cannot react in time. The Iron Armor Steel Fist's Sizhoubeishifuzhuzhuituiji immediately follows up, allowing the Iron Armor Steel Fist to launch an attack at the first opportunity. *Boom boom boom boom. *

Frantic consecutive kicks continuously bombard the Deep Sea Fighter. The Deep Sea Fighter's engine also bursts and roars. Belastan grinds his teeth, determined to fight the Iron Armor Steel Fist to the death. He cannot fall; once he falls, everything is over.

His mission was for today's battle; everyone's sacrifice was to welcome this moment of Glory. Even if he dies, he will die right here. At this very moment, the Iron Armor Steel Fist performs a Thousand Catty Drop, the right leg suddenly kicking down. A sharp side kick—*boom boom boom*—the Deep Sea Fighter's left leg directly deforms, the entire mecha shaking non-stop. At this moment, the Iron Armor Steel Fist suddenly freezes, a terrifying aura enveloping the entire scene. Cheng Konghai's Indiscriminate Deep Space Intimidation—instantly, the color drains from Belastan's face, his pupils shrinking violently into a single point, and the Iron Armor Steel Fist's right fist has already been drawn back, a full-bow strike unleashed!

Relying on his last bit of consciousness, Belastan pulls fiercely, the Deep Sea Fighter's right arm blocking.
