Everyone's attention quickly shifted from Wang Zheng's Golden Wheel to Kong Zhan. This star of hope of the Silver Snake Alliance did not seem right.
The Silver Snake Battle Team members had also noticed their leader's abnormality. Kong Zhan had absolute dominance in the Silver Snake Battle Team, and he had used his ability to prove it. Whether in the first round or the second round, he had displayed exceptional power. That was why he was hailed as one of the top ten rising stars.
The team members were waiting for Kong Zhan to turn the tide. Given his ability, defeating an Earthling should be a walk in the park.
Kong Zhan clenched his fists tightly, sweating profusely. His entire face was flushed red. His Ability X was a spiritual type of foresight and omen …
Nine deaths, close at hand. Kong Zhan could feel the suffocating power emanating from Wang Zheng's body. There were no more than five such people in the entire IG team. This was a true demon.
"Participant Kong Zhan, choose your mech!" the referee reminded.
"I … forfeit." In that instant, Kong Zhan seemed to have been drained of all his energy. His entire person was drained of blood.
The entire arena was silent. The referee was stunned. "Participant Kong Zhan, forfeiting means admitting defeat. Do you understand?"
Kong Zhan looked at Wang Zheng. He seemed to have sunk into a dreamlike state. He had been trapped by his own inner demons. More accurately, the inner demons that had been buried deep in his heart had been released amidst his hesitation.
"I …"
Looking at Wang Zheng, his eyes were filled with boundless terror. Slowly, Kong Zhan's jaw dropped. He could not say a word, and he collapsed on his back.
Not just the others, even Wang Zheng himself was stunned. What the hell? Did he look that scary?
Friend or foe, no one knew what had happened. Wang Zheng had just taken the field, and made a strange choice at that, and he had scared the Silver Snake team leader unconscious?
What kind of big move was that?
Luckily, the entire arena was filled with people. Otherwise, they would have thought that Wang Zheng had used some sorcery.
The paramedics intervened. "Quick, X-factor disorder!"
Everyone was stunned. Such a thing had happened at such a crucial moment. Was the Solar System just too lucky, or the Silver Snake just too unlucky?
Just like that, the Solar System Federation team led two to one. Just one more round, and they would advance to the top 32.
At the same time, in another arena, the Manalasuo Republic team was facing off against the Gopher Alliance team.
Although the Gaphalia Battle Team, which had drawn the worst draw, wasn't an old powerhouse team, they had been working hard for the past ten years, and the entire Alliance was united like never before.
Moreover, half of the entire team had been sent to the Arbiter Republic to study in the name of "exchange" for the past three years. It was only when the IG selection began that they returned. Privately, there were even people who called the Gophalia team a small Arbiter team.
And Gophalia had indeed displayed the aura of a "mini Arbiter", advancing triumphantly all the way. His performance in every round was remarkable, and he indeed had the style of an Arbiter warrior, daring to fight and able to fight.
"Manalasuo is indeed very strong. But don't forget, our training is 10 times better than theirs. We will definitely win!" The captain, Bernier, was very confident. In this IG, there was no other team member who carried more burdens than their Gephalia. They had been selected since they were 14 years old, and they had been preparing for this day.
Initially, they had selected 3,000 13-14 year olds. A year later, only 200 were left, and they had earned the right to go to the Arbiter Republic to learn how to fight.
In Arbiter's craziest training camp … in just one year, out of the 200, only 42 were still alive and healthy. The rest were either crippled or mentally ill.
On the day they returned home, there were only seven left. With them as the core, the Gophalia Battle Team was built.
"We will definitely win!"
Roar, how could they fall here?
Weng …
A light screen suddenly popped up on the Skylink of the vice-captain, Akley. It was a video recording.
In the video, there were hundreds of youths with various kinds of injuries sitting in the stands …
"This was sent to me by the general just now. They are waiting for news of our victory."
These were their former comrades, the losers who had lost their chance in Arbiter's super warrior training camp.
And standing in the preparation area, they were the victors of the past.
Now, in the future, they would also be victors. Only then would they be worthy of their former comrades!
"Fight!"
Roar …
Gophalia's morale was high.
On the viewing platform, the representatives of the various countries were frowning. They had more or less grasped the intel on Gophalia, and some of the videos from the training camp had been released. In terms of strength, they definitely could not compare to the real Arbiter. But when they went berserk, it was a different story. They seemed to have used some sort of berserk factor. The more berserk they were, the more their battle power would be amplified, or even doubled.
On the Manalasuo side, the substitutes were warming up, while the main force … leisurely. Some were even drinking milk tea. Too casual.
Gophalia, the so-called Little Arbiter team? Keke, they were not the real Arbiter team. No need to be too concerned.
"Don't waste too much time. I want to watch the show when it's over!"
He coldly said this sentence to his team members, turned around, and left with his vice-captain. They walked towards the battlefields of Area A and Area B. He didn't put his opponents in his eyes at all. It was definitely a blatant disregard.
Zone A, Aslan Empire team vs Mist Nation team.
The Mist Kingdom was a commercial alliance country with three habitable planets and seventeen large space cities. Due to its open national conditions, the Mist Kingdom had accumulated quite a lot of talents. In the previous IG competitions, the Mist Kingdom was also a strong contender for the top 32.
"Looks like the Mist team will stop at the top 64 this time."
The first match had just ended, and Aslan had obtained their first victory. Their substitutes had appeared, while the Mist Nation's captain had personally appeared. Initially, they had seen Aslan send out their substitutes, and wanted to snatch a point. Even if they lost later on, they would still look good.
When the Manalasuo captain appeared on the viewing platform in Zone A, he saw the start of the second match. The Mist Nation had sent out their vice-captain. In terms of ability, he was even stronger than the captain. It was just that his character was flawed, and he was a battle maniac who only knew how to fight.
But against Aslan's substitutes, he could not even last five minutes before being crushed. And the Aslan team members were calm, as expected. 3-0. Aslan advanced.
Not long after, Manalasuo's match against Gophalia ended. 3-0, a clean three victories.
Gophalia, nicknamed Little Arbiter, had the highest morale and ability in their history. If they were lucky, against other teams, they might have been able to fight an exciting, historic battle.
But before Manalasuo, they did not have that qualification. They were not even on the same level.
All three matches had ended within five minutes. Gophalia had indeed given it their all, and had exploded. Their frenzied strength had doubled. The Arbiter training camp's frenzied training had indeed paid off. The three main players had all given off a feeling of being reborn. But the absolute difference in ability was real. Even with great improvement, they were still no match. This was not something that could be made up for by morale. The despairing team members broke down, crying bitterly. But they could not take away victory.
Back at the preparation area, the vice-captain who had gone to Zone B had returned, his gaze cold.
"How's Atlantis?"
"As expected, 3-0, and …"
"What?"
"They used Aslan's Soul Guard, and not Atlantean mecha."
The captain's eyes flashed. "How's the battle going?"
"Not weaker than us." The vice-captain's words made the captain's gaze burn even brighter.
What was Atlantis trying to say? Were they trying to tell others that they were invincible?!
