Back at the royal guard training base in Monta Elis, the top 32 battles had begun. It was a completely different tempo, a true battle. The only spectators were the generals of the various countries, as well as the representatives of the 64 teams. They would witness the mecha battles of the highest standards.
There would be eight battles on the first day. Amongst the strong teams, Aslan and Manalasuo would appear, while the Solar System team would also appear in the first round. Their opponent was the Silver Snake team from the Silver Snake Galaxy, a veteran team that had made it into the top 32 many times. Their best result in history was the top 8.
Against the dark horse that was the Solar System, they held an absolute advantage in terms of results. The Silver Snake team's leader, Kong Zhan, was also a prominent figure in this IG competition. His overall strength was not bad, and it was said that he had already caught the eye of the Milky Way Alliance. After the IG competition, he would receive an internship opportunity in the Milky Way Alliance. This was also a tradition of the Silver Snake Galaxy, and a solid foundation for future advancement. Therefore, for the Silver Snake team, they had to perform better, and produce solid results.
"Leader, this is definitely a favor from the heavens. We've actually met the Solar System team. This is a guaranteed entry into the top 32."
"Three-nil, let's get rid of them!"
"Perhaps it'll be over even without the leader. We can focus on preparing for the top 16 battles."
The Silver Snake team members were brimming with confidence. Taking down the Solar System team would be a piece of cake.
But Kong Zhan's expression was especially grave. Looking at a figure in the Solar System team not far away, he was still breathing heavily.
"I didn't expect this bunch of kids to be so organized. It would be even better if they could advance further!" Lie Wuqing laughed. In truth, he had thought that there was no hope. Who knew that such a disadvantageous situation would turn the tables.
In the second round, Meng Ao was the only representative. Lie Wuqing, Drachmach, and the rest did not know what had happened.
"Old Meng, why are you smiling so lewdly? Are you hiding something from us?" Drachmach said mildly.
Meng Ao started. "Ah, no, I'm thinking. The Silver Snake team is very strong, especially their Conca. He's a strong contender for this year's top 10 newcomers."
Lie Wuqing and Drachmach felt that something was amiss, but could not put their finger on it. Below them was a huge arena, surrounded by an energy field that ensured that the two warriors could fully display their abilities.
As for the members of the delegation, they had also been dealt with. Even if they came to watch, they would have to go through a psychological test to prevent any psychological problems. However, those who were qualified to come were basically people related to the military or military academies, so it was not to the extent that they did not have the ability to accept this.
After two rounds of baptism, the Solar System team members were full of confidence. But confidence was confidence. In the top 32 elimination rounds, each match would not be easy. Silver Snake team.
The referee from the Milky Way Alliance IG announced the start of the competition.
The leaders of the two teams stepped forward. Kong Zhan, the leader of the new generation in the Milky Way Alliance. Wang Zheng, the dark horse from Earth. Recently, he had gained the nickname of Little Lucky Star. It felt like this guy was as lucky as the lucky cat.
It was said that many teams were envious of the Silver Snake team's luck, but Kong Zhan was not the least bit envious. He really wanted to swap with someone else. Facing the Solar System team was no better than facing Arbiter.
After the two captains saluted the crowd, they began to draw lots. The Silver Snake team had drawn the red side, so the Silver Snake team would be the first to send out a member.
For the first match, the Silver Snake team sent out Priest Tang. It was said that his ancestors were devout Catholics, and so he had been given such a name. Usually, the first to go up was the one with a certain degree of confidence. Every battle wanted a good start.
The Solar System team's people were all staring at Wang Zheng. Who would Wang Zheng send up? There was still some debate about Wang Zheng's choice, but the Solar System had already achieved a historic breakthrough. It would be a little unkind to haggle over this.
Wang Zheng's gaze swept across the crowd, finally landing on Lie Xin. "Lie Xin, the first match is up to you!"
Lie Xin stood up. "Yes, Captain!"
After such a long time, Lie Xin felt that Wang Zheng was becoming more and more to her liking. At least she did not hate him as the captain, and she had plenty of opportunities to go up.
The vanguard battle was a battle of momentum, and so it needed to be fierce and strong.
Lie Xin of the Lie family was well deserved.
The two opponents shook hands. Priest Tang was handsome and refined, while Lie Xin was sexy and smiling. No matter how one looked at it, it was more like a blind date than a battle to the death.
Both chose their mecha on the screen. The mecha inventory here was not inferior to the Aslan Royal College's, and would definitely satisfy the needs of the pilots.
In the official competition, unless you were Aurora or Olivios, you had to give it your all. This was a match that no one could afford to lose.
Lie Xin did not hesitate to bring out her best mech, and also her trump card – the Fire Sage!
This was currently one of the strongest mecha on Mars, and one that Lie Xin had trained hard to operate. This vanguard battle had to be won.
Priest Tang had chosen the Silver Snake Galaxy's tyrannical Fallen Angel series – Fallen Angel III.
This was a battle where there was no retreat. The eyes of the team members and representatives were all focused on the two warriors about to go up. But Kong Zhan was looking at that figure.
What if … what if he met him?
"Kong Zhan, this is a demon in human skin. He's definitely scarier than Olivios. Unless absolutely necessary, don't fight him!"
This was absolutely impossible to win. That terrifying strength, and that Ability X, was completely unfathomable. Unfathomable!
But the more one was afraid of something, the more likely it would happen. The Silver Snake team had really met the Solar System team.
Perhaps if they avoided Wang Zheng, the team could still win, and they would just let this one go.
The two mecha appeared on the platform. Lie Xin and Priest Tang's feet sank, and they quickly entered the mecha.
Both were brimming with confidence. The strength of the Lie Flame Technique made Lie Xin very determined to win this battle. She knew Wang Zheng's intentions. He wanted to use the Lie family's dominance to set the tone for the competition.
The two mecha's eyes glowed with the light of activation. Rumble, the battle began. Lie Xin was the first to attack.
The Fire Sage. On Mars, anyone who dared to use the Sage as a code name represented extraordinary achievements. The entire mecha was made of special fire minerals, and was considered a special type of mecha. Its performance was top-notch, but it was rumored that this mecha was hiding some sort of secret, although it was still unclear what it was.
Faced with his opponent's attack, Priest Tang smiled slightly. This girl was really impatient. His laser gun was instantly drawn, and he retreated as he returned fire.
Seeing the opponent's reaction, the Solar System side cheered. The opponent was a coward. One look and you could tell he was a sissy. But Lear and the rest did not react. The opponent was very patient.
Since Lie Xin was in a rush to fight, then Priest Tang was in no hurry. He would first wear the opponent down. His momentum was like a tiger's, but once he lost his momentum, his strength would be greatly reduced. The Solar System was in the top 64 for the first time, and they wanted to prove themselves.
The Silver Snake team members were all very calm. Everything was under control.
Lie Xin's footwork was good, but the opponent's Fallen Angel series was not inferior in terms of performance. Forcing her way in would definitely deplete the energy of her energy shield. If Lie Xin had been a little more patient, she would have slowed down a little, and not fallen for the opponent's trap. But Lie Xin did not care. She seemed very confident in her attack.
After using the energy shield to block two laser shots, Lie Xin's Fire Sage finally closed in. The opponent knew this as well. The Fallen Angel beam saber unsheathed, and he immediately won.
Boom …
A loud explosion … God!
The Fire Sage had been sent flying.
In this clash, Lie Xin had given it her all, and the opponent had not been able to counter it. But Lie Xin had still been sent flying.
The Silver Snake team members were all smiles, as if mocking Lie Xin's naivety.
As the vanguard, Priest Tang was definitely the most violent character. In the cockpit, the cultured Priest Tang was gone. In his place was a warrior with explosive muscles.
A strength-type Ability X user!
Shing …
The Fallen Angel exploded, and in an instant, it was beside the Fire Sage. A frenzied barrage of attacks followed. In that moment, Lie Xin could only parry, and felt as if she was in danger of being crushed at any moment.
As strength-type Zhang Runan and Raston could see the shock in each other's eyes. This level of strength was definitely a level higher than theirs, and even what they had been chasing. Zhang Runan thought for a long time, but still sighed. If she had another half a year, she would be able to reach this level as well. Because when her Ability X was fully formed, that would be the next level. But …
The Lie Flame Technique allowed the Lie family to maintain their agility while also possessing decent strength. But against such a mature Ability X user, it was completely useless. Under the opponent's explosive attacks, she was clumsy.
Rhythm!
The stronger one was, the faster one would be in a short distance. That was why Priest Tang had lured the opponent in from the start. Once he counterattacked, the opponent would fall into his rhythm, and it would be impossible to change. In just a short while, the difference was apparent.
In just a short while, the difference could be seen. Lie Xin's close combat standards within the Solar System seemed to pale in comparison to the IG64. The opponent was too experienced and had sufficient strength to suppress her. Their mecha techniques were also flawless and didn't give Lie Xin any chance at all. Lie Xin activated her energy shield for defense a few times, but her energy shield was greatly weakened by the opponent. The key was that she couldn't see any chance of turning the tables.
Wang Zheng's choice for this first battle would probably be questioned after the competition. Why not choose Lear or Achilles? Wouldn't that be safer?
Wang Zheng was in no hurry. Lear and the rest were not in a hurry. Lie Xin was not in a hurry either. In the cockpit, Lie Xin was very calm. Although she was at a complete disadvantage, she could still hold it in.
Rumble …
With a heavy blow from the Fallen Angel, the energy shield broke. Priest Tang smiled. Victory was right in front of him.
But in that instant, hum ~ ~ ~ ~
Flames shot up into the sky. The Lie Flame Technique was fully unleashed. Even the Fallen Angel could feel the scorching, suffocating air waves.
Boom …
The Fire Sage Master, who had been on the defensive all this while, counterattacked. With a slash of his blade, the scorching air waves forced the Fallen Angel to take two steps back. The Fire Sage Master followed closely. This was a super mech that could only unleash the full power of the Lie Flame Technique.
