Chapter 661: The First Battle

This was the strength of an Atlantean mech. Although the Atlanteans were unable to turn their spiritual power into Ability X, but they were able to utilize it in order to operate specialized runes, creating a power that was similar in strength and also welcomed.

Zhang Shan almost pissed himself when watching the match. That was his unique skill! That three warps was something that he relied on like a rice bowl, but how did he become a normal passerby when he was here? Wasn’t an Atlantean mech unusable by humans, why were there so many monsters here?

Boom…

The titanium blade shattered, but at the same instant when he received the attack, Wang Zheng’s Wargod No. 1 forcibly rushed forward, causing the runic blade to hit empty air.

The chance had already slipped out of his hands. The three step warp had also caused Dili to start panting. The original plan to destroy the opponent in one hit had unexpectedly failed. He had never thought that this kid would be that slippery.

Although he was a chosen expert, he was still not an Atlantean. The energy consumption was far greater, but luckily the opponent had chosen the Wargod No. 1. This mech did not have an energy shield, and without its weapon, it was on the verge of death.

It seemed that he really should not frivously use an Atlantean mech. Although its specs were outrageous, but it indeed was unsuitable for humans. It had high energy expenditure, and had many limitations.

Pampas was truly delighted. Both of them intended to show off in front of him, but both of them had failed in their own ways. He quietly shook his head, thinking nothing of it. This Wang Zheng could not be compared to Olivios. Although Olivios was a little cruel, but he could be considered to be more mature. On the other hand, this Wang Zheng was like a little kid, having too much pride in himself.

Wang Zheng turned around and revealed a smile on his face. This was a little boring. He had thought that the opponent would be really powerful, but it seemed that he was unable to fully control the Atlantean mech, as he was unable to continue his offense after a single clash. His reasoning for choosing the Wargod No. 1, was also due to this point, only that the opponent was even weaker than what he had imagined, as the previous instant was the best chance to close in for the kill. However, the opponent did not even chase him, causing Wang Zheng to be unable to use his planned counter.

Since that was the case, it was time to end this.

Wang Zheng’s Wargod No. 1 stood upright, and took up a fighting stance.

Oli’s originally calm gaze suddenly turned serious… Heavenly Overlord’s stance!

This… impossible…

“Oli, was Wang Zheng’s stance sneakily learnt from you. It seems really familiar.” Ai Xiaolu laughed.

However, Oli was unable to smile at all. This was not just similar… but was in fact exactly the Heavenly Overlord’s stance. The posture was exactly the same, and the most crucial movement, could create an instantaneous attack.

But how would this be possible?

Dili had also recovered his focus, and no longer intended to allow his opponent any further chances. Even he might not be able to hold on if the opponent continued to grind him down.

Boom…

Void Marshall used its warp and charged forward, while at the same time vanishing in mid-air. The next instant, it reappeared right in front of Wang Zheng, the runic blade slashing downwards, accurately and brutally!

This was definitely unavoidable!

At this moment, the ground rumbled. Following the shockwave, Wargod No. 1 thrust its fist forward.

A straight punch!

Explosion!

The runic blade hovered above Wargod No. 1’s head, yet was unable to slash down.

There were only a few tens of the audience present, but all of them were stunned at the sight. Wargod No. 1 had penetrated the Void Marshal with a single fist…

Wang Zheng restarted the ignition and pulled out his hand, frowning. The damage sustained by his right arm had reached fifty percent, this mech was indeed rather crappy.

Boom…

Flames spewed out from the Void Marshal in all directions.

Wang Zheng’s victory.

When Wang Zheng appeared in the spectators’ hall, everyone immediately went over. “Congratulations for winning your first match, it’s been hard on you.” Ai Xiaolu seemed to be rather enthusiastic.

Wang Zheng bitterly laughed and shrugged helplessly. What else could he say? Ai Xiaolu and the rest were somewhat confused, why was he still unhappy after winning?

Snow Li instead smiled, “It wasn’t hard on him at all. In fact, it might be a little disappointing.”

“I never thought that he would not even know how to pilot an Atlantean mech.” Wang Zheng muttered in frustration. This was rather puzzling, as those Xuan Grade Class 1 experts seemed to be rather naive.

However, everybody else knew that the Void Marshal’s attacks were in fact not easy to avoid.

All they could say was that Dili was too careless, believing that he could play around since his opponent was only at the Huang Grade Class 7 level. If he were to use the mecha of the Majia Republic, the situation would not be the same for sure.

Another person who had been thinking too much was Pampas. Wang Zheng had never recognized him from the start till the end.

Yet Dili… he was almost going insane, yet was unable to vent his anger. He obviously had the talent, but an Atlantean mech was not something that he could use to show off his potential, and ended up shooting himself in the foot.

Wang Zheng’s first battle was a success. Like Zhang Shan, there were a lot of ‘lucky’ elements involved, but Ai Xiaolu did not bother with it. Since piloting an Atlantean mech consumed quite a bit of spiritual power, Dili did not have a chance to use his Ability X. At any rate, he must have been drunk to act in such a manner.

Snow Li knew that Wang Zheng must have done this on purpose. After his opponent had chosen an Atlantean mech, he then chose the Wargod No. 1, and must have predicted that such a situation would occur.

In truth, Ai Xiaolu no longer cared about Wang Zheng’s strength. Both of them had similar topics of interest, and there were also Snow Li’s intentions. If they were able to cooperate, this would definitely be a good thing for the Ai Shi group. Hence, she tried to create a welcoming atmosphere for both sides.

Oli’s face was filled with curiosity, and she was also a straightforward person, “Wang Zheng, why would you know how to use the Heavenly Overlord’s stance, are you actually from Arbiter?

Wang Zheng laughed, “That wasn’t the Heavenly Overlord’s stance, just a series of hand movements. It’s not bad, but Earth has quite a few more of these stances.”

“I don’t belive you!” Oli obviously did not accept his viewpoint. The Heavenly Overlord stance was Arbiter’s pride, how would Earth compare to it.

Zhang Shan, who had been standing by the side, was unhappy. “Classmate Oli, have you forgotten that Earth was the origin for all the various stances. Those that you possess, Earth also has them, but the reverse is not true.”

Zhang Shan decided to educate Oli, and instill into her the greatness of Earth.

“Then why is Earth so weak now?” Oli shut Zhang Shan up with a single sentence.

Wang Zheng smiled, “It is precisely because we have too many that we failed to treasure them. However, everything comes and goes. The Solar system will not remain in such a degraded state, and the ancestors have left behind a significant amount of valuable treasures.

Oli did not seem to fully comprehend him. In fact, the others were also similar to her, as these issues had not been taught to them from their education. In their eyes, it was simply the Earthlings’ longing for their past.

Wang Zheng also did not bother to explain, and wanted to check out the situation with Hocatolin’s match, which had still not ended.

The match had reached the end stages. Hocatolin was piloting a typical Aslan Knight-type mech, while facing his opponent’s violent bombing. The opponent’s Ability X was also rather unique, carrying the dual abilities of damage and paralysis. However, it seemed to have no effect on Hocatolin, and he was being beaten like a primary school kid in front of the Xuan Grade Class 1 expert.

It was obvious that Hocatolin was not toying with his opponent, but was instead allowing him to display his skills. After all, it was not easy to participate in such a large competition.

Now that the opponent had shown off his skills, the Knight-type mech instantly disappeared, and a red light flashed.

The mech collapsed, while the Knight-type mech returned to its original position.

The audience who were watching broke out in cheers, while Wang Zheng remained speechless. It was true that the suppression of the Ability X was indeed tyrannical, but Hocatolin’s control of his flame ability had probably reached its peak. By analyzing the control of the opponent during his assault, he was able to strike at the critical point of the opponent’s defense.

There was a reason that Pampas had ignored this match. If the opponent did not have sufficient ability, Hocatolin would similar not be able to display any of his own strengths. In addition, due to the absolute suppression of the Ability X, he was able to pinpoint the opponent’s weakness in an overwhelming manner. While it may seem ferocious on the surface, but just like a child wielding a large knife, it was in fact full of flaws.

Although Wang Zheng and the rest had finished up their matches, the first round of the selection had stirred up a storm. Although they were considered to be a dark horse, and would have attracted unwarranted attention in the past, the selection this time round was merely to weed out the weak.

Originally, it was thought that the freshmen would be able to easily dominate the early stages, but the newcomers from the five major regions this time round had ‘rebelled’.

Achilles ignored the contempt of his opponent. That contempt against the Solar system, and his ability to attend the Elite Academy.

Achilles, using his own spear, had shown his opponent an undeniable truth!

A spear in hand, to dominate the heavens!

The Heavenly King has appeared, and will display his glory!

Lie Xin attained fame in her first match with her unique flame Ability X. In Elite Academy, there was no lack of flame users, and each of them had their own special characteristics, including even poisonous flames. However, the most famous was undoubtedly Hocatolin’s heavenly flames, but Lie Xin’s flames were also different from the norm. While others believed that her Ability X was the dominant factor, it was in fact only assisting her, while her flames were the core of her strength.
