Chapter 447: Mission Impossible

~16 min read 3,003 words

Dita and the others know the intensity of that kind of strength, and Zhou Naiyi is also clear on this point. She is a jack-of-all-trades, so she uses it all on the rhythm of acceleration. Gale Acceleration and Lightning Acceleration are two types of attack frequencies that fit the Yaoying Athena very well; she must constantly change the rhythm to apply pressure to her opponent.

Weijia also senses this. He is very patient and does not force an attack. He is confident that his attack power is stronger; it is just that the frequency of the Thunder-Fire Mecha is a bit slower, especially since it requires building up momentum for an attack, which makes it even easier for Zhou Naiyi to catch him. Therefore, the Thunder-Fire's attacks must have a rhythm, and regardless of whether the attack succeeds or not, the Yaoying Athena will not have a chance.

"Weijia is playing very patiently; this is going to be difficult."

"Zhou Naiyi has been thoroughly studied. She knows a little bit of everything, but honestly, she lacks the ability to end the battle in one strike."

"This is really a bit difficult. Weijia is suppressing Zhou Naiyi in every aspect, and this guy Weijia has a very meticulous personality. He just needs to wear her down and it will be over. There is a gap in the level of Golden Zone between the two sides."

"There's no helping it, going up first is useless. Weijia's method for catching Zhou Naiyi is fixed; let alone Zhou Naiyi, even the Ant might not have absolute certainty."

The Hunter side is also having a bit of a hard time. The Ant was very fierce back in the day, and his fame was also great, which certainly had something to do with his strength. On the other hand, it was also because he was high-profile. Meanwhile, Maxis and his group were covered under the brilliance of Xilian; their fame wasn't as great, but they were all solid experts. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to win the championship. This group of people is the truly terrifying one.

"See that? See that? Little Kuang, what did I tell you? You have to believe in science, believe in strength. This is the deciding factor of this match. Zhou Naiyi's Huoyanyinneng is very chaotic; it looks like she knows a lot, and she even wants to play with the rhythm of her abilities, switching between lightning and gale, but she overlooked one point: this kind of jack-of-all-trades approach might work against ordinary opponents, but wanting to rely on this to defeat a champion Warrior is no different from dreaming. Moreover, during the switching of abilities, her Golden Zone is also constantly being consumed. Look at contestant Weijia's strategy: the opponent attacks wildly, he defends steadily. As soon as the opponent reveals a hint of wanting to slow down, he will immediately increase the intensity and max out the rhythm. This is the 'wear-down' tactic—the strong suppressing the weak, steadily. And in terms of tactical execution, if Galaxy claims second place, no one dares to claim first. I think no one would disagree with this, right?" Huonan spoke eloquently. He adjusted very well and had already substituted himself into the Galaxy team; the feeling of following the strong is just so beautiful, wonderful. Anyway, anyone who can take down Mu Jiang is one of his own.

"Don't be happy too early. The characteristic of the Yaoying Mecha is finding opportunities within attacks. Weijia's style of play is exactly the rhythm the Yaoying Mecha wants. The opponent's defensive counter-attack is very conducive to the Yaoying Mecha's performance. Furthermore, contestant Zhou Naiyi's talent is also quite astonishing; her Imitation Ability itself is no small matter. This absolutely cannot be considered an ordinary ability!" Kuangwu Daren also cannot sit still and wait for death, being led by the rhythm by Huonan, even though he is also worried to some extent.

"Hehe, I call it the 'duck ability': knows a little of everything, but is proficient in nothing."

The Galaxy Academy side is looking good. Everyone's level is very high, and their understanding of the game is also very high. What Huonan said is a bit exaggerated, but the content is correct. Weijia now has an eighty percent chance of winning. If it continues like this, it won't be long before Zhou Naiyi enters a decline period. Moreover, this kind of Cheng Zhan environment is what everyone is most familiar with, and there are no variables. The Yaoying Athena mecha is the same; once its flexibility cannot control the rhythm, dragging it into a stalemate will make it slower and slower, and less and less confident.

One side is happy while the other is sad. The overall level of Tianjing Martial Arts is a bit weaker, but one can also feel the situation of the Golden Zone on both sides. Weijia's light-flame is very stable, while Zhou Naiyi's is constantly fluctuating, indicating that her control is still not stable enough. Under strong confrontation, it will fluctuate; these are all signs of insufficient foundation.

Clang, clang.

The Oath Sword attacks the Thunder-Fire Mecha frantically. The two sides have already gone through more than ten rounds of mutual attacks, but the Yaoying Athena has been unable to break through the Thunder-Fire Mecha's defense system. Weijia is truly steady, and his judgment and details are even more terrifying. Once he falls into a completely passive combo, he will use the flame blade to forcibly break it and instantly launch an explosive attack. The Thunder-Fire is stronger, and in a life-or-death situation, it is highly probable that the Thunder-Fire Mecha would suffer heavy damage, but the Yaoying Mecha would definitely be finished.

This is Weijia's interpretation and judgment of the battle situation, constantly applying pressure to Zhou Naiyi from physical strength to mental will. He is waiting for the moment when Zhou Naiyi cannot bear it anymore and releases her trump card. He must be more patient than Zhou Naiyi, and this is also built upon the foundation of his power. Everyone will have a breaking point. Li Mo actually dared to let her go up, so it must be a trick. Do not harbor any wishful thinking; he is not a fool like Mengnaluo. He values his opponent, but he will not be deceived by appearances. Even if the opponent is going to release a finishing move, it must be at the timing he needs.

Zhou Naiyi is having a very hard time. In the attacks she has trained countless times, previous opponents would always play them out fully regardless of whether they were effective, but facing Weijia, her attack rhythm is always being disrupted. Zhou Naiyi's anti-interference ability is very strong, and she can maintain her mindset and pull herself back, but she is also incomparably frustrated, being repeatedly pulled back and forth. I know what you want to do, and you know that I know.

But overall, Weijia is indeed stronger. The Thunder-Fire Mecha constantly increases the intensity of the confrontation. The Yaoying Mecha's speed and agility cannot produce actual results, so it is a drain on Zhou Naiyi's physical and mental stamina, and what Weijia wants to do is to strengthen this point.

Boom.

The light-flame explodes. Amidst the mecha's stalemate, Weijia suddenly breaks the rhythm. Intense flames burn along the Thunder Blade to the entire mecha. A giant pillar of fire, seven or eight meters wide and up to twenty meters high, shoots into the sky. His flame is not a Tier 2 fire, nor is it the kind Ye Tong has, but it is just a massive, solid, and mellow flame. The violent sweep and feverish burning make the Yaoying Mecha feel like it is trapped in a steamer; suffocation fills the air. Zhou Naiyi immediately pulls away, but the giant pillar of fire instantly shrinks, and a twenty-meter-wide flame blade light sweeps out. The Yaoying Mecha almost instantly takes flight, engine power maxed out. The flame blade cuts the buildings in the arc in half. The Moon audience at the scene has already boiled over, while the supporters of Tianjing Martial Arts are silent.

Weijia's Golden Zone is already overflowing compared to Zhou Naiyi's, and it is overflowing by a lot. It is capable of achieving an external release effect. His own Zone reserves, the combination with K23 Yuansu, and his understanding are all much higher than his opponent's.

Zhou Naiyi, who barely took flight to dodge the fatal blow, is also covered in cold sweat, but Weijia has no intention of letting her go.

Flame Acceleration!

The entire Thunder-Fire Mecha is like a fire god descending to the human world, shooting into the sky like a cannonball. The Yaoying Mecha performs a forced maneuver in the air, relying on the superior performance of the Super Light Mecha to try to dodge, but the operation is still too slow. Unable to dodge completely, the Victory Shield System is fully activated, the Titanium Shield is raised, and the Golden Zone is raised to its most sensitive state.

Boom.

The Yaoying Mecha is blasted away like a meteor, disappearing into the distant building complex accompanied by a series of roars. The Thunder-Fire Mecha's engine roars as it gives chase.

Aofei and the others look solemn. They know that Zhou Naiyi has improved significantly during this period. In fact, during the last battle, she had already shown the prototype of the Spirit. Although it was not yet perfected, in the tempering of such a major tournament, extreme excitement and stimulation make it highly possible for her to break through. Facing Weijia, she only has one trump card, but looking at it now, it is too lopsided. Even if she has such a card, it is very difficult to be effective. Zhou Naiyi has not created any space for release at all. If it is just a head-on collision, Weijia is no rookie. Even if they only compete in lethality, Weijia's Huoyanyinneng is also in the lead.

Weijia's flame lies in its intensity. While others are cautiously controlling their consumption, his flames are being unleashed unscrupulously, showing enough depth that he doesn't care about consumption at all.

At this moment, Weijia in the Cockpit is in a state of being completely covered in flames, his crimson pupils burning with fire, yet there is not the slightest struggle or fanaticism, but rather a kind of calmness.

This is what is most terrifying. The Golden Zone is a state of soul excitement; simply put, the stronger the power, the more excited one is, but he can remain calm under this kind of intensity.

Aofei and the others are all a bit desperate. This is a naked crushing of flame talent, close to the terrifying power of Cheng Konghai; both are the most primitive yet most practical.

"This is the gap. Mu Jiang will pay the price for his arrogance. It is indeed not easy for Tianjing Martial Arts to get here, but one must admit that a weak point is a weak point. Zhou Naiyi cannot fight a tough battle; her physical strength and Golden Zone are not enough, and her abilities are not outstanding. At this level, she no longer has room for survival. As the Team Leader, Mu Jiang must take responsibility for his blindness!" Huonan said decisively.

"The match isn't over yet. The strongest thing about Tianjing Martial Arts is their resilience. 'Each for all, all for each.' For a team to win the championship, relying on one or two people is useless; it must be through everyone's joint efforts. This is also what I like most about Tianjing Martial Arts. Being able to enter the semi-finals, everyone has given their all, fighting with their lives. Wuzang, Zhou Naiyi, Ma Long, Zuo Xiaotang—everyone is. I still believe that Zhou Naiyi must be able to restrain Weijia in some aspect, or rather, she is already close to a breakthrough. This is also the true meaning of the Golden Zone!" Kuangwu Daren did not back down, directly standing firm.

"Hehe, you call this commentary 'ignoring the facts.' How could it be so easy to break through? And even if she breaks through, so what? This gap is obvious. Weijia, as the Vice Captain of Galaxy, is well-deserved. The magnitude of this flame ability is the highest in the S-Tournament. Zhou Naiyi is just struggling now, wanting Weijia to make a mistake, but this probability is minimal. And once she fails, Tianjing Martial Arts is finished. This is the semi-final of the S-Tournament, not telling a story. Mu Jiang, I'll put it here: this decision of yours is the biggest mistake of your entire S-Tournament!"

Huonan has already started digging a pit. This time he must bury Mu Jiang. He has already started using rhetoric to guide the audience. If Tianjing Martial Arts is eventually eliminated, those who long for Tianjing Martial Arts to advance will blame Li Hao for it, and human nature will erase all the efforts he has made.

Kuangwu Daren has been around for a long time after all. Although he didn't react immediately, he realized it after a moment of silence. This damn guy is truly ruthless, but he seized a very good opportunity. Forcibly refuting at this time would only fall into his trap. He must endure.

"Let's let the facts speak for themselves!" Kuangwu Daren said. Now all hopes are pinned on Zhou Naiyi.

Weijia did not waste his ability. The shoulder missiles of the Thunder-Fire Mecha flipped out, and four small missiles instantly blasted into the landing point of the Yaoying Mecha. That last hit had completely collapsed the Victory Shield System. I don't know if the Titanium Shield was shattered or not, but I'm afraid it can't withstand a head-on clash anymore.

As soon as the four missiles landed, the figure of the Yaoying Mecha indeed appeared. The situation looks quite bad, and Weijia's Thunder-Fire Mecha immediately gave chase.

It is truly too steady. Facing such a determined opponent, it is very difficult for anyone. In winning against the strong, one often cannot find flaws in technical movements, but in mindset and emotions.

"Zhou Naiyi is a contestant who is good at mobilizing the opponent's emotions. Calmness is her greatest advantage, but the problem is, a warrior who has experienced the S9 championship journey and the S10 setbacks has a very strong inner heart. This is a mature contestant, and emotional stability is also his strength!" Huonan roared excitedly, "Not rushing in blindly at this time shows Weijia's importance to his opponent. Tell me, how can such a battle be lost!"

Huonan waited provocatively for Kuangwu Daren. Indeed, he had stumbled because of Mu Jiang several times, but he really had stumbled because of that damn Mu Jiang!

Regarding his profession, Huonan never doubted it. If he could lose even this, he could retire!

The live broadcast room had already been completely occupied by the massive fan base of the Galaxy Team. Tianjing had already been beaten into silence. Zero to two actually doesn't count for much; Tianjing Martial Arts has experienced it many times along the way. They are not afraid of this; what they fear is the kind of despair in front of them.

"It's over. This kid Li Hao is screwed. What is he doing? Not going up at this time and dumping the pressure on Zhou Naiyi. How can Zhou Naiyi handle it!" Dita slapped her hand fiercely.

"Whose side are you on!" Su Yu curled her lips.

"I... isn't this just caring about her? The gap between the champion and the top four is too big." Dita immediately pointed at A Youyou.

A Youyou watched the match, "Don't be anxious. The winner hasn't been decided yet. Zhou Naiyi definitely has a trick up her sleeve. Her Zone hasn't been disrupted; she's waiting for an opportunity."

Dita just wanted to say 'what do you know,' but suddenly remembered... the one beside her is the champion of the Starship S Tournament, and she might even be the superior of these super warriors in the future. What kind of world is this? Wouldn't it be better to just be a singer? It made her debate lose its confidence.

On the field, Zhou Naiyi's Yaoying Mecha is running all the way, which is also a rare situation. She needs to adjust her state, but how could Weijia give her this opportunity? The Thunder-Fire Mecha is in hot pursuit, constantly applying pressure. The Yaoying Mecha has flexibility and speed, but Weijia's Flame Acceleration has an advantage in pursuit, sticking firmly behind her and constantly suppressing the Yaoying Athena's escape angle.

Although he is in hot pursuit, Weijia is not the impatient type, because Zhou Naiyi is a bit interesting. She clearly has Gale Acceleration but hasn't used it at full power. Could it be that she is still waiting for an opportunity?

Swish, swish.

Two flame blade strikes were launched, not at the Yaoying Athena but at the buildings on both sides. Among the collapsed buildings, there was also a huge Clock Tower, which directly caused a road-blocking effect. The mournful sound of the large bell seemed to foretell Dita's ending.

At this time, climbing over the building would definitely be caught up by the Thunder-Fire. The Yaoying Mecha dared not take the risk and could only stop. The Thunder-Fire Mecha landed, and the Yaoying was once again forced into a dead end.

"Zhou Naiyi, for the sake of Li Mo, I'll give you one chance to attack with all your might," Weijia said.

Zhou Naiyi steadied her breathing, taking the opportunity to check the status of the mecha. 15% damage, the Victory Shield System has collapsed, the Titanium Shield has cracks, and the overall defense against the opponent's Huoyanyinneng has dropped significantly. She cannot drag this out any longer.

The light-flame on the Yaoying Athena began to fluctuate, the Oath Sword was raised, and the gale rose.

Boom.

Boom.
