Chapter 476: Spring Has Arrived
Spring has arrived.
Xilian felt the world collapsing, his heart filled with a complex and manic joy; no one could stop... stop???
Li Hao shook his head helplessly, his left hand suddenly raised toward the sky. The continuously collapsing Mirror World suddenly stopped, and slowly, a new world began to stand tall—a more magnificent, more real, more concrete new world, and even... more solid.
Feeling all of this, Xilian's gaze shifted from shock, incredulity, and disbelief to a bitter smile, mockery, and gradually, to a dazed, unfocused state.
Xilian felt his world, his pride, his Faith...
Collapsed.
Then he felt his Spirit fall once again into a black hole; fear tightened, followed by his vision going black. At this moment, in the Galaxy Center, on the Kepler Jungle battlefield, the final showdown was the focus of all eyes. Everyone held their breath as the Thunder-Fire Mobile Suit and the Night Mobile Suit crossed paths. An energy ripple swept out, scouring the already barren battlefield once more.
The two Mobile Suits stood motionless. Everyone's heart was gripped tight. Countless supporters of Tianjing Martial Arts were clenching their fists; some timid girls already dared not look, while the blood of the Moon audience had surged to their throats. A triple crown, the great Moon People, the great...
*Zeng... *
The Thunder-Fire Mobile Suit was severed at the waist, split in two.
At this moment, countless Moon People were like those struck by Petrification magic, yet a considerable portion of them did not give up—what if the Night Mobile Suit was finished too!!!
At this time, the Night Mobile Suit slowly stood straight, looking calmly ahead.
???
Fifth match, Tianjing Martial Arts' Li Hao wins!
Ahhhhhhh!!! In the livestream room, Kuangwu Daren was jumping up and down like a child. Seeing Huonan, regardless of anything else, he hugged the stunned Huonan with one arm while waving frantically with the other. Kuangwu Daren couldn't help but let his tears fall. Yes, it wasn't over yet; the Puppet God, he had dragged the match into a team battle!
Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!! Tianjing Martial Arts went completely berserk; everyone was spinning in place, jumping and leaping frantically. Li Hao won, won, won! Their Team Leader had done it!
"Li Hao," "Li Hao," "Li Hao." After a brief shock, the Galaxy Center was also surrounded by a cheering crowd. Tens of thousands of Tianjing Martial Arts supporters shouted frantically. They won, Li Hao won! Who could have imagined that Li Hao would actually drag it into a team battle? The fight wasn't over yet!
In the VIP room, Long Danni couldn't help but raise her arms and roar, "Well fought, Li Hao!"
At this moment, Long Danni was brimming with spirit, completely ignoring the surrounding Moon principals. Although the match wasn't over, hope remained, and it was even greater. There was still a chance to create a miracle, and besides, Li Hao fought truly well!
This kid! In the contestant area, the Moon contestants watched the Earth contestants celebrating, especially the Hunters, jumping as if they had already won the championship. Damn it, why are the Titans joining in the fun? Are they addicted to being lackeys?
The familiar taste, the familiar formula. Xilian had fallen once again. It was truly damn uncomfortable; Li Mo was just too hard to deal with.
Maxis, Chao Qinglong, and the others looked at each other. What they saw wasn't just the result, but the final few seconds, where something they couldn't understand seemed to have happened. It wasn't an illusion; something definitely appeared.
Suddenly, an emergency alarm sounded, coming from Xilian's combat room. The camera cut to it, and Xilian had already fallen into a coma...
At this moment, the Shadow Scout and the Martians in the contestant area shivered instantly, feeling a chill run through their bodies. How could they have forgotten? When Li Mo makes a move, how could it end with just a victory? Nine times out of ten, he had done Xilian in, in a way permitted by the rules.
Next was the team battle, and this turn of events left all the Moon People terrified. If Xilian were here, as long as he kept Li Hao occupied, this match would be won. After all, the two of them had been evenly matched throughout the entire fight—it was a difference of one move. If they had Xila's full-strength healing, they might still have had an advantage, as Li Hao had also expended quite a bit, and Ma Long wouldn't be able to hold up.
Emergency personnel went up, and everyone held their breath. This was the key factor determining the team battle. Xila and Anlita also went up. After some fuss, their faces were very ugly; a situation they didn't understand had occurred. Xilian still hadn't woken up. A while later, Anlita and Xila stepped down. Everyone looked at Anlita; Anlita's expression was grave as she shook her head gently.
This Li Mo is really going for the championship. The first step was to take out Xilian.
Every strong team facing Tianjing Martial Arts wanted to know how to cripple Li Hao's teammates; now it was the other way around.
The camera showed Xilian being carried away, which meant he couldn't play in the team battle.
In the contestant area, Chao Qinglong nodded with emotion, "It really is Second Brother's style, silently pressing them to death."
Maxis shrugged helplessly, "He's far ahead of us, the undisputed number one, always has been. It's just that winning is still very difficult."
"Not necessarily. I remember there's a rule in team battles: if someone defeats all five opponents alone, they can get an extra 0.5 points. That would give Tianjing Martial Arts 3.5 points, and they would directly win the championship," Basta said in a low voice.
Maxis laughed bitterly, "I know, but that rule has another requirement: Tianjing Martial Arts cannot have any casualties. It's too harsh. Getting caught once means death. Surely Hailong isn't unlucky enough for that."
"I can only say, there's a chance. With Xilian unable to play, Hailong's advantage isn't that big anymore. Both sides still have a possibility. Although Xilian isn't there, Anlita and the others are all present—a complete lineup. With Anlita's calmness, it doesn't matter if they lose the team battle; as long as they drag it into a tie-breaker, it's randomly drawn. As long as they don't draw Li Hao, they will definitely win. There's no room for luck," Basta said.
Looking at the smiling A Youyou, Su Yu beside her hurriedly grabbed her hand. She couldn't celebrate at a time like this. What kind of boyfriend had A Youyou found? This could actually work?
Dita was even more dumbfounded, "This is bad. Xilian is down. Does he really want to turn the tables?"
"Just getting a pentakill is enough," A Youyou said.
"Heh, you say it like it's eating five quail eggs," Dita curled her lip.
"Isn't it?" A Youyou suddenly blinked and revealed a cunning smile, "My boyfriend is as capable as I am."
Dita rolled her eyes—a wave of sourness!
In the same situation, Huonan in the livestream room was also commentating, while simultaneously pushing away Kuangwu Daren. This bastard actually dared to take advantage of him. "Dear viewers, I explained above, the rules are already very clear. Mu Jiang wants to utilize this 0.5; this is not possible. The team battle can be conceded to enter the tie-breaker; Hailong's win rate is as high as 80%!" Huonan shouted urgently. He wasn't worried about anything else now, just afraid that Hailong's members would lose their heads and insist on risking it to fight Mu Jiang. That's not a person; don't be like him.
Likewise, all of Tianjing Martial Arts' supporters knew what Li Hao wanted to do. There was still the 0.5 bonus point rule, but it required Li Hao to take out the other five while Wuzang and the others were not defeated.
Very, very difficult, and it also required very good luck.
Returning to the combat room, Li Hao was hugged and touched by everyone like a baby panda.
"That's enough, that's about it. If you touch me again, I'm going to charge a fee!" Li Hao said loudly.
"Hao Ge, let me replenish your milk volume," Ma Long said.
During the battle, Zhou Naiyi had already explained that possibility to everyone. She hadn't mentioned it before because she felt it was too exaggerated and felt there was no possibility. But when Xilian couldn't appear, all of this became possible. Although the other five were strong, Li Hao might actually be able to defeat them all; the rest was just for them not to throw.
Li Hao waved his hand, "No need, I'm hungry. I'll just eat something to replenish."
"Really don't need to?"
"Do I look tired to you?" Li Hao smiled, "Naiyi, the tactics and such should have all been discussed, right?"
Zhou Naiyi stared at Li Hao with burning eyes. She really admired this guy a bit. At this moment, Zhou Naiyi had recovered her usual demeanor, "Yes, we will do our best to avoid battle and buy you time!"
"Haha, thank you all for your hard work. There are plenty of chances to prove yourselves; let me have this one," Li Hao said while eating.
Everyone couldn't help but smile, "It's come to this, no need to be so low-key. We're just here to hug your thigh; as long as it's the championship, we'll take it even if we're lying down!" Zhou Naiyi laughed.
"Hao Ge's thigh isn't something just anyone can hug!" Ma Long was already holding his Skynet, having just taken a selfie while hugging Li Hao's thigh. So what if he hugged his thigh? You have to have one to hug.
Rename later: Another day of hugging the thigh.
"Wuzang, how is your rest?"
"Can't beat them, run. I've never feared anyone!" The Ancient Martial Arts successor patted his chest very bravely, even showing some cold humor.
Of course, in martial arts, the first thing to learn is how to take a beating and dodge, and only then is it about attacking.
"I have no problem either. If I run into them, I'll teleport and run away; if I really have to, I'll hide and lie still. I'm good at this!" Zuo Xiaotang said.
Everyone's morale returned. Humans are a strange species; once they see hope from despair, they will erupt with powerful strength and desire.
Tianjing Martial Arts is already prepared for the team battle!
Meanwhile, inside the Hailong war room, they were completely plunged into pressure.
Xilian is the absolute leader and core; although Xilian had sufficient confidence, he also considered accidents, so he arranged for a team battle, but he never dreamed that he himself would be unable to fight in the team battle, and the key was that he fell directly into a coma without leaving any orders; Anlita and the others know Xilian's terror too well, his almost omnipotent power, how could he have lost, and even fallen into a coma, is this Li Hao even fucking human?
Now the problem arises.
The remaining five people are still top-tier players; is it possible for the five to unite and defeat Li Hao?
If it were up to Anlita and the others to judge, if it were Li Hao at his peak, there would be zero possibility, but Li Hao went through the consumption of that last round and only narrowly won by a single blade; they truly do not believe that Li Hao could defeat the boss without shedding blood and without any exhaustion.
There is definitely a chance; Ma Long is absolutely unable to compensate for Li Hao's consumption.
But currently, Li Mo's intention is also very clear, which is to catch the five of them and take that 0.5 bonus points; if the five people are not together, they will definitely be defeated one by one, this is beyond doubt, but if they want to execute a five-in-one tactic, they will miss many opportunities; would it be more stable to catch one of the others instead?
Random landing, they might not necessarily run into each other; if they do run into each other, should they pursue? Once they pursue, many variables will arise; the opponent will definitely not fight them and will certainly run; during the pursuit, time becomes the key.
Even if Xilian were seriously injured, it would be fine if he could speak; he understands Li Hao's current situation the best and would have told them directly which tactic to use.
But Xilian is completely unconscious; there is no danger to his life, but for some reason, he just cannot wake up.
