1199 A Close Win

Lear was indeed annoyed. He had yet to showcase his skills, and he had been hiding his killer move all the way until now, but he did not expect to not even be given a chance at all.

He, at this moment, had no time to pay attention to Wang Zheng. His competitor had appeared, and that was Tan Zheng. From what he understood from Zhou Yun, Tan Zheng's current ranking was higher than his, and he belonged to the Saint's founding family. He did not believe that Tan Zheng's Harbinger battle team could win over the Atlanteans, but what if he also lost?

In comparison to Tan Zheng, he was in a more hopeless situation, so he had to beat the Zero Degrees battle team. However, he had currently completely fallen into a Frost Seal.

The cold air was getting more and more dense and the mighty energy protective wall completely became a sort of protection. The entire arena was enveloped in an ever denser freezing air.

Lear and Luo Fei used all their strength to resist the cold air, but not even an Earth-rank warrior could contend against nature's strength. Their Wood element, although not completely subdued, was not like the Fire element, which could withstand it.

Many of the contenders were casting sidelong glances. It has to be said that with the to size this stage, genuinely every step taken was frightening. It was possible to ambitiously proclaim oneself dominant in the previous round, only to be beaten like a dog the next round.

The Dynasty battle team was truly wildly ambitious before the match. Although they were low-profile, it could be seen. Their physical techniques were tyrannical, and with the addition of two Earth-rank warriors, they were really planning to fight it out. However, in front of the Zero Degrees battle team's tactics, they had no ability to counterattack at all.

Lear was angry. His handsome face slightly revealed a sinister look. He was not afraid to lose, and not only just lose once, but to lose so stupidly and cowardly, where there was not even an opportunity to counterattack. This was what Lear was furious about.

At this rate, he would be slowly eroded by the cold air until he finally had no ability to return any attacks. If he continued to hold out, he could even lose his life. Zhou Yun had still held on a bit until he lost consciousness, but the two useless pieces of trash, Anluda and Pang Tong, had actually admitted defeat. This was something Lear had not foreseen. As people from ancient martial families, they were actually so afraid of death. Those words that they had previously said were all rubbish.

Lear had indeed not thought that those with heritage would be so scared of death. It seems that he had overestimated them.

Could they admit defeat just like that?

No way. Lear grit his teeth, prepared to forcibly break through. Although this could expose an opening and bring about Ai Zhengyang an opportunity, there was no choice. Sometimes, they could endure silently, but under such circumstances, there was no way at all. Just because they were enduring, it did not mean that they had no will to fight.

Lear's spiritual power had just moved before he discovered an explosive force of tyrannical spiritual power.

Luo Fei!

Fatty's stealth and weakening abilities had no use at all in this segment. If this was not a regular arena, and they were given a broader space, the Dynasty battle team would've definitely stood a chance. However, the small size of the arena, and the sealed off effect from the energy walls, had completely been made use of by the Zero Degrees battle team.

Fatty's Ability X initiated. It began to absorb the opponent's strength in huge amounts and from the moment it started, and there was no plan to halt.

Ai Zhengyang was slightly stunned. He could feel it, of course. Before the match, he had assessed that Luo Fei was the only uncertain factor. He could create the optimum suppression but could not stop others from fighting as if their life depended on it. It was just a battle, would their lives depend on it?

Ai Zhengyang now knew that they did. Luo Fei's method of devouring was the same as the previous time with Mars, completely uncaring of the consequences. Different from the battle with Mars was that Mars' power did not contain any obvious trace of a repelling element. However, the air here was full of Frost energy, so if he continued to eat like that, Fatty could die.

Virtual battle arenas were already dangerous, not to mention such a head-on confrontation - they were not playing around. On top of that, his devouring was the best in terms of contact. Controlling from such a distance would be exhausting one's limited abilities.

"Hang on, everyone, he is only just one person," Ai Zhengyang stated. There was actually not much that needed to be said, everyone in the entire team had already taken precautions and did not panic. Since Fatty could eat, then they would make him full to the point of bursting.

There was no way an unexpected effect could appear.

Lear wrinkled his eyebrows. Sacrifice? It would be worthwhile if he could attain victory by sacrificing Luo Fei, but his way of devouring was not enough!

At this moment, Fatty's Ares Art neared Lear'sAres Art and a pure power was released. Lear was stunned for a second before he understood what Luo Fei was doing.

A hint of a smile was shown on the corners of his lips, then his Ability X was initiated. This was Lear's trump card, Swallowing Ability X!

His ability was different from Luo Fei's. Luo Fei could swallow much, but it was difficult to make use of that. Lear's swallowing ability was not as strong, but he could use the power that he had swallowed from others, and after having been purified through Luo Fei, it was simply delicious for him to swallow.

Luo Fei was playing with his life as he ate, and after that, he started releasing power. Lear did not need him to put in so much effort, but he had already started to forcefully swallow.

This way, the process was faster. He required even greater strength, strength that could break through the seal. The steady flow of purified frost energy was not callous, but instead the opposite, full of moistness.

Fatty's complexion became more and more pale, while Ai Zhengyang had also discovered the root problem. The Ability X in Lear's body was flourishing greater and greater.

Boom…

A tyrannical spiritual power shot towards the clouds, breaking apart the Zero Degrees battle team's seal.

High B-ranked spiritual power!

This was of a higher rank. The Zero Degrees battle team could no longer seal Lear.

Lightning Art!

Lear's Ares Art charged out like a bolt of lightning. The frozen territory could no longer stop him, and a bolt of lightning shot through.

All four mecha of the Zero Degrees battle team fell. Although they hadn't suffered any fatal injuries, the mecha were all damaged on different levels. Although Lear was vicious, he was clear that they could not kill their opponent in SIG unless there was an absolute necessity.

Ai Zhengyang was preparing to stop Lear right before Luo Fei's Ares Art pounced towards him. Luo Fei's eating ability had a special trait, which was that the side effects would not appear immediately. Even if he was full to the point that he died, it would take some time.

Luo Fei only did one thing when he charged over, and that was to add a weakening ability to Ai Zhengyang, a fatal weakening.

Ai Zhengyang's Zero Degrees World was also a deadly skill. When prepared to risk lives, even if it did not directly take Lear's life, it could seal it. However, this weakening ability had instead caused Ai Zhengyang to not use his full strength.

Lear was not going to be courteous. When Luo Fei had started eating, Lear knew what this fatty was doing. Although their plan was not talked about, Luo Fei knew Lear too well.

Lear was definitely heading into Ai Zhengyang's Zero Degrees World. Either they freeze together or they finish their opponent.

Shing…

Zero Degrees World slowed the Ares Art's speed, but it did not seal Lear's teleportation.

Dynasty battle team wins!

The Dynasty battle team, which had been passive throughout, had beaten the Zero Degrees battle team by a close shave, becoming the second to obtain the rights to qualify for the top four. Their opponent for the semifinals would be the Sword Shield Rose battle team.

But this was also a devastating victory. Fatty's condition this time around was worse than before. He was frozen stiff by the time he was pulled out of the cockpit and had already lost all consciousness.

Lear's situation was also nowhere near better, it was just that he had made it to the last moment. He knew that he had already given his everything and kept hopeful.

On Earth, Lear's supporters had already thoroughly bubbled up. This heir of the Chronos family had, since young, been acclaimed as the hope for future Earth, King Lear. He had finally proved himself on Milky Way Alliance's platform.

One has to admit, on Earth, Lear's supporters were considerably numerous. The Chronos family's hundred years of information were indeed not wasted.
