Chapter 360: There is no solution!

The Hercules just stood there, holding his hilarious shovel, but no one was laughing.

Taros’ mouth was agape, as if a fly would enter any second, unable to swallow or spit out his words. “What the hell is that joker doing?!”

Pan Su had never dreamt that even after using all his strength, he would still be unable to prevent the explosive attack of his opponent. His Ability X was to produce air pressure barriers. These were, in fact, one of his trump cards that allowed him to both attack and defend. With such a defensive layer, this could determine the difference between victory or defeat at the crucial moment, as these pressure barriers would blunt the opponent’s blow!

However, in the face of the opponent’s attack, it was destroyed in a single hit.

The Triumphant King stood back up, grimly spitting out the blood at the back of his throat. Pan Su’s face revealed a hint of a smile, secretly glad that he had met such a formidable opponent only at the second round.

The Triumphant King leapt up, and with a flick of his saber, rushed towards Wang Zheng’s Hercules with great strides.

Wang Zheng’s Hercules had also started up, and the distance between them rapidly shrinking. However, the Hercules was staggering about the place, as if it had just hit a brick wall. While it was still trying to balance itself, the attack from the Triumphant King had already reached him.

This was the use of the air pressure Ability X during offense, serving to obstruct the opponent.

The beam saber slashed downwards, but the Hercules’s shovel started spinning again, and everyone’s attention went straight to it. “What is that? Is that Wang Zheng’s Ability X?”

This time, Pan Su was fully prepared. He was from the Norton Star, and one of the foundations of the planet was not Ability X, but rotational force, which was a technique that could make others go crazy.

Against such a technique, there was only one solution. One had to break through the rotational attack forcefully. They had to do even more damage than him… or else….

However, the people of Norton Star would never retreat, they would hold their ground.

Boom…

The Hercules was repelled slightly, but the Triumphant King’s beam saber was successfully deflected. At the same time, the entire mech was knocked back, retreating even further back into the distance.

Pan Su gritted his teeth, bearing the brunt of the rebound. Even under these circumstances, the opponent could still retaliate. What kind of a monster was he? However, he should still be suffering!

When going against such a rebound, Wang Zheng’s hands could probably no longer bear the backlash from the clash.

Pau Su roared, and the Triumphant King roared back to life. This was the determination of the Norton Star. Kill~~~

It was evident that the reaction time of the Hercules was a little slower than normal, while the Triumphant King was still as ferocious as ever. His beam saber was raised high above into the sky and slashed downwards in one swift motion.

Against such a direct technique, only an even stronger technique was able to counter attack. Once you retreated, it was the end!

Who would have thought that the only fierce battle on the field was between these two mechs.

The Hercules was slower by a beat, but its hands were still moving swiftly, with the shovel spinning rapidly towards the enemy.

The Triumphant King bore down upon the Hercules, imposing as always. At the moment of his attack, his beam saber seemed to be pushed up a notch, its speed increasing in the blink of an eye.

Pan Su was risking it all.

Boom…

The beam saber left his hands….. Oh, heavens….

The shovel that was still spinning made a cracking sound, buzz…

It was visible to the naked eye that a shockwave had appeared from the collision. Three protective screens appeared in front of the Triumphant King, but it only managed to stop the shovel for a moment before breaking apart.

The only option for Pan Su was to activate his energy shield. His Ability X was not able to block such an aggressive attack, especially against such a frightening rotational force, but there was still enough time for him to start the energy shield.

The shovel slammed down on him.

Ka~~~

Boom…

The energy shield exploded.

The entire crowd went silent. Huang Shi’s mouth was gaping wide open. What the hell was that thing? An Ability X? Or was it a pure technical skill?

It was even able to penetrate the Triumphant King’s energy shield???

As the energy shield broke apart, the Triumphant King took two steps back, yet Wang Zheng did not continue his attacks.

The Triumphant King was motionless. After a few seconds, an emergency alarm rang from within the cockpit, signaling that the pilot was severely injured and required immediate assistance.

Wang Zheng was obviously unable to continue attacking, or else there would be casualties, even considering the physical abilities of the Norton Star people.

The Solar System team won.

Even while the Solar System side was speechless, the applause and congratulations still rang out loudly. Was this really Wang Zheng?

Was this the Wang Zheng that they knew?

The team captain of the Solar System team?

Pan Su was a famous celebrity from the IG, but he had been defeated by a shovel.

Could you even believe it?

“Damn, so Wang Zheng’s Ability X was that rotating shovel. What was that?” Chi Muye numbly said.

Bang…

He got a slap on the head. “You idiot, only your family would have such a stupid idea!”

“Cousin, we’re related, alright!” Chi Muye resentfully said.

However, Huang Shi was already distracted by that scene. That was a true expert, and the pure oppressive strength of that technique was simply telling the opponent that they would never achieve a victory against it.

Within the entire IG competition, the number of people that had such a level of skill without using their Ability X was less than ten. Amazingly, one of them had appeared in the Solar System team!

We’ve struck gold this time!

When Pan Su was lifted out, he had already fainted. This clearly showed the strength of the collision, and even the energy shields were useless. Even if they hadn’t been blasted apart, the recoil would have severely injured the pilot.

This type of offensive power was clear to everyone. However, the opponent was from the Norton Star, and they were famous for their resilient physique!

Wang Zheng walked out, and at this point, the crowd erupted in cheers. This was an absolutely flawless ending. Zhang Shan strode over. “Damn, Wang Zheng, when did you learn Skeleton’s signature move? So you do play CT after all!”

Wang Zheng smiled a little. “Not at all.”

Zhang Shan was speechless. A question remained in his mind, and it bothered him for the rest of the day.

Lear’s eyes were filled with complex emotions. All along, he had felt that something did not seem right. However, never would he have thought that both his clashes in CT were with the same person he was with right now.

The attitude that the Solar System team had towards Wang Zheng was a little more unique. Although Wang Zheng had miraculously piloted the Atlantean mech during the final pirate test, the tests were not useful at all in the end. The doctors had thought that it could’ve been an unconscious and abnormal activation of his Ability X. While it could’ve been awakened randomly, there was a chance that it could never be used in the future. This caused the majority to not have seen Wang Zheng’s true potential.

This had caused everyone to think that within the Solar System team, Achilles was the strongest.

Tyrant Su was cheering the loudest. Although he was not able to approach the contestants’ area, the jubilation on his face was evident.

Si Jiali and Bi Yuyan were dumbfounded. Never in their dreams would they have imagined such a result. Looking at the expression on Wang Zheng’s face, it seemed to be a simple matter for him.

“I’m afraid we need to let Landry and the rest see this.”

“I’m afraid they won’t be interested at the moment because they are still finding out the results from the rest of the battlefields.”

For the third match, Raston was up. However, while he was initially thought to be able to destroy his opponent, he was instead beaten by the Norton Star, and had even sustained some injuries.

Raston’s style was actually very similar to the Norton Star’s, but their techniques and basic strength far exceeded his.

With such momentum, it was expected that they would win three to zero. However, the team leader was able to counterattack even whilst being injured. This was the determination of the Norton Star.

They were willing to stand and die, and refused to lay down and lose.

For the fourth match, the Solar System team sent out Taros. Taros indeed lived up to his expectations, but he was defeated by the Norton Star. His speed against their stability left him with no opportunity to attack, and under the continuous consumption of energy, he was defeated in the end.

The Norton Star’s understanding of combat tactics was indeed rather good.

Who would have thought that after the first two contested fights, what followed were two losses back to back?

Gu Te and the rest were truly anxious, but the Solar System team’s main members were still standing by patiently.

Lear and Achilles were evidently aware that Wang Zheng was simply training his troops, telling them that combat was not a simple affair. In fact, his choice of personnel and arrangements were done after much deliberation.

For these types of fights, Luo Fei was a wildcard. There were many others that were more suitable than Taros to challenge these opponents. Furthermore, the IG was not filled with rookies, and thus not just anyone could compete effectively.

For the fifth battle, both sides stood on the cliff’s edge.

“Lie Xin, I’ll hand it over to you,” Wang Zheng said.

Lie Xin stood up, and everybody staggered a little. This was simply playing with fire. Shouldn’t you let Lear or Achilles fight at such a stage?

Lie Xin smiled. “Wang Zheng, I wasn’t aware you were so manly. How brave of you.”

Others may not know, but Lie Xin understood. This was Wang Zheng’s trust in her, and he had full confidence in the greater picture.

Against the current strength of the Norton Star, Lie Xin was truly confident.

In the end, Lie Xin stunned the crowd by annihilating the opponent with a flaming sword. These fire techniques were not something that their energy shields could handle. This was not her using her Ability X either. Additionally, by winning with these techniques, it was clear that her control over her abilities had gotten even stronger.

The Solar System team won three to two and advanced to the third round.

This battle truly shocked everyone, but the team was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Although it was still a victory, the impact it had was absolutely different. Everyone was starting to understand how strong the Solar System team was.

The news of the victory reached Ares College, and once again it raised a commotion.

This piece of news may not be significant to everyone else, but for Earth, this had always been a huge fantasy for them. When Old Deer found out that Skeleton was the Solar System team’s captain, he was shocked, surprised that he was a student from a military school.

Within a short while, everyone was curious regarding the situation with the IG. How had the team achieved such a result?

Chen Xiu and Yao Ailun only celebrated for a moment, but they decided that they would give Wang Zheng a beating for hiding it for that long.

Yan Xiaosu downloaded and sent the combat records back. Although the quality was slightly poor, the situation in the IG competition and the fight itself were absolutely different. With that kind of explosive strength, especially after seeing how the opponent was being carried out in tatters, Solon was confident that it would be shown across the entire Solar System.

At any rate, there were no restrictions on sharing the match results. In fact, it was a common strategy to showcase the abilities of CT. Regardless of whether one was a player, when they saw how the Hercules smash his shovel down, there was only a single feeling in their hearts!

This was the feeling of being invincible!

It turns out that not everything in CT was an illusion, and dreams could become real!
