Chapter 470: The Second Personality

Zuo Xiaotang gritted his teeth and went all out. His Golden Zone surged violently, light and flames radiating in all directions as Lieying Apollo teleported once again. Others had made progress, and he hadn't been idle these past few days; he had finally mastered two escape stunts. He was also a stubborn one—if he couldn't win, he would first put some distance between them; only by staying alive could he think of a way.

Zzzzt...

Two black chains gradually formed in the space, one end on the two stingers, while the other end had already bound Lieying Apollo at some unknown moment. Zuo Xiaotang was startled; this was a terrifying thing that even Ye Tong had difficulty breaking free from. Sweat broke out on his forehead, and his face turned bright red. Then, something even more terrifying happened: he discovered he was unable to enter a jump, and a massive pulling force was dragging him firmly.

Lieying Apollo flickered constantly, caught between disappearing and existing, trembling incessantly. The Phantom Fighter hovering in the air had already closed in. A faint, mocking smile played on Anlita's lips; it was too childish, and this kind of struggle only highlighted how low his level of awareness was.

With a sudden burst of force, Lieying Apollo was dragged straight out, like a rabbit caught in a trap, struggling desperately. A chill had already invaded the Mecha, and Zuo Xiaotang shivered. He knew that if things went wrong, the opponent would freeze him to death. Before the match, they had agreed that once they fell into a desperate situation, they should concede if they had to. After all, having been targeted so many times before, they had learned their lesson. As long as they could make it to the team battle, Li Hao would have a way; they couldn't afford any more losses.

"Wait a minute, I..." Zuo Xiaotang suddenly roared...

Anlita bit her silver teeth. This shameful, fat guy—she had only thought it in her heart; she hadn't expected him to actually do something so embarrassing. The key was that a guy like this actually dared to like her.

How embarrassing! Hum~~~

A terrifying Golden Zone, like the arrival of the apocalypse, shrouded the battlefield. The massive Abyss Yadie descended, its terrifying power of Charm fully unleashed, directly interrupting Zuo Xiaotang's words.

Anlita, her eyes burning with blood-colored black light, was like a witch. The tiny shred of pity she had originally possessed vanished completely at this moment. Abyss Yadie—Spirit Charm!

This was a higher level of Spirit Charm, stronger than simple Mental Blast or crude Mental Intimidation. In fact, Yintai Dumela was also skilled in this; her Petrification ability was also a form of Charm. But encountering Anlita, that was like a minor sorcerer meeting a great one. Throughout the entire S Tournament, only Anlita and Dumela could use such abilities while piloting a Mecha.

Zuo Xiaotang had almost no resistance; he was hit immediately and fell into hallucinations. With his Golden Zone fully open, he was uncontrollably locked in a soul duel with Anlita. It was just a Burning Will, and like a marionette, he was being one-sidedly beaten.

The terrifying will of the Yadie descended, bombarding Zuo Xiaotang in waves. Anlita needed to control the intensity. In the S Tournament, various injuries and illnesses almost always occurred, but overly obvious malicious "killing" incidents still had repercussions. Mental Power was not a new thing, and there were many capable people. With her lead being so large, she had to gauge the scale carefully. She wanted to severely injure Zuo Xiaotang so he couldn't appear again. As for whether it would be today, a week, or a year, that depended on her mood.

Feeling the fat guy's struggle and his pitiful, fragile appearance, lying down for a few days would be about right. It wasn't that... she was soft-hearted; it was just that the opponent was too weak, and it was boring to toy with him.

The black Ice Chain locked Lieying Apollo, while at the same time, the black light and flames were suppressing the Lieying fighter bit by bit. The red light and flames resisted desperately, but like a candle flame in a gale at night, it could be extinguished at any moment.

Many spectators at the scene were just watching the excitement and hadn't realized what Anlita was doing, but some had already understood. From a tactical perspective, this was the best move; who could underestimate a Zuo Xiaotang in a team battle?

In the Tianjing Mecha operations room, Zhou Naiyi and the others looked at Li Hao anxiously. "Maybe we should concede; if this continues, something will happen."

There was another way to concede, which was for the team leader to submit it to the referee. Although this method existed, almost no one had used it; it was only used in very extreme circumstances.

"Wait a little longer, there is still a turning point."

"Li Hao, the gap is too

large, Zuo Xiaotang will be in mortal danger," Zhou Naiyi said gravely.

"Hao Ge, Anlita is going straight for Zuo Xiaotang; he can't block it," Wuzang was also a bit anxious; they were very clear about this situation.

Even Ma Long, who had entered the Flowing Heart Martial Arts state, realized that if this continued, Zuo Xiaotang wouldn't just lose—he would be finished. Everyone looked at Li Hao anxiously. Li Hao waved his hand helplessly. "Actually, I've been waiting for this opportunity all along. It's a once-in-a-lifetime chance. If it weren't for Anlita, Zuo Xiaotang would have even bigger problems."

Everyone looked at Li Hao, dumbfounded, not knowing what kind of gibberish he was talking about. Li Hao didn't hide it anymore and explained: Zuo Xiaotang had suffered from schizophrenia since he was very young, and another personality had been born within him. This personality was extremely antisocial. Li Hao had used a technique to seal this personality so that Zuo Xiaotang could grow up steadily. However, as Zuo Xiaotang grew, his talent could no longer be suppressed; his Golden Zone was in a state of natural awakening, and the other personality within him was also waking up. His current weak personality would likely be devoured. Having no choice, Li Hao placed a second seal, but these were all stopgap measures. Within his range of knowledge, the only solution was Anlita.

Anlita's soul essence and Zuo Xiaotang's soul essence were perfectly complementary. Some time ago, Anlita opened one seal; Zuo Xiaotang was not only fine but also had a great improvement. But to finally solve the problem, this unavoidable battle was just the right opportunity.

Li Hao left everyone still confused; this had already exceeded the scope of their abilities.

Li Hao smiled. "Simply put, this battle is not just about winning or losing. I hope Zuo Xiaotang will reveal his second personality in front of Anlita and put pressure on her, letting Anlita solve it. In Tianqi, she is a master of the soul. I hope this will solve it once and for all."

Zhou Naiyi, Wuzang, Ma Long, and the others didn't know whether to believe it or not, and they didn't know what to say. They were all busy preparing for the S Tournament; did Li Hao have to worry about so many things?

"Hao Ge, you wouldn't have been planning this since before the S Tournament, would you?" Ma Long muttered.

"Not really. At first, I was quite worried, not knowing what to do. Keeping it suppressed like that wasn't a solution. I didn't expect Xilian and Anlita to come knocking. I had an inspiration in an instant. Haha, they are both good people," Li Hao said with a smile. "I hope everything goes smoothly."

Xilian, in the operations room, was looking at the situation before him with great satisfaction when he suddenly sneezed several times, his nose even running... It was going so smoothly, there shouldn't be any problems, right?

Hiss... The first match was understandable. When treating him on Heaven Island, Xilian hadn't set any traps; instead, he had secretly provided some assistance to let Cheng Konghai recover, because he knew that the five years Cheng Konghai had lost were lost, and he would become a great help to Klein's growth. Although it was just a draw just now, Xilian's goal had been achieved; the gap in strength had been demonstrated.

This second match... why was Zuo Xiaotang sent up? Sniper God?

That's not right. With such a huge gap in the Zone, how could Li Hao not know based on his judgment? This was a match with no chance of winning.

If he wanted to trade pieces, he shouldn't have used Zuo Xiaotang!

There was absolutely no possibility of "luck" or "trying it out" here. When it was time to be decisive and ruthless, Li Hao was no saint. So, sending Zuo Xiaotang up was intentional?!

Xilian suddenly remembered that some time ago, Anlita had been used once, allowing Zuo Xiaotang to make a breakthrough. Afterwards, Anlita still felt something was wrong. Her intuition wouldn't be wrong; Li Hao must be hiding something. Going to such great lengths just to have her replenish some soul was making a mountain out of a molehill. The key was the motive.

Could it be that he was deliberately piquing their interest, only to bury a bigger trap?

A strong intuition made Xilian's temples throb. His intuition had never been wrong. Although he didn't know what the trap was, Anlita was stepping into Li Hao's trap step by step.

But what could he do?

Realizing it was already too late, unless... he stopped the match, but that would only mean letting Anlita concede...

Xilian had always been decisive and straightforward in his actions. Having awakened from the Nightmare, there was nothing

that could trouble him. But now, he was once again caught in a contradiction.

After planning for so many years and reaching this point, at the most critical moment, he had to let her concede? The key was, he would have to concede personally. What if this was a trap within a trap?

That would be enough to make him die of anger!

But this intuition, this judgment...

Xilian, who had stood up, froze for a while. Under the strange gazes of Li Xiangshan and the others, he finally sat down.

On the battlefield, Anlita's power was gnawing away at Zuo Xiaotang's power in waves. Watching the little fat guy's stubborn and tiny counterattack, she couldn't help but want to laugh. The key was that he was still muttering at this time. Others didn't know, but Anlita perceived it clearly: "Concede, I want to concede... con..."

What a pity!

The Abyss Yadie's Soul Absorption ability, while not unique, was definitely a lethal weapon.

Anlita's colorful black had completely shrouded Lieying Apollo. At this moment, there was no life alarm in the pilot's operations room, and the battle hadn't ended; no one would interrupt the match. Anlita also piloted the Phantom Fighter to descend, approaching the Lieying fighter step by step. With every step she took, the black chains twisted, tightening until the Lieying fighter made creaking sounds. The sturdy Mecha seemed unable to withstand it, and the stinger Titanium Sword had already been raised. Anlita would end this battle the moment Zuo Xiaotang collapsed.

The scene was silent. No one had expected that Zuo Xiaotang, who had been slaughtering everyone and was omnipotent before, would be like a quail in front of Anlita, with no ability to resist. All his moves were seen through, and he had nowhere to run.

Hum~~
