This was definitely a first for the Storm battle team. Losing an almost sure-win battle so utterly and completely stunned them all. It was a performance of fighters with similar capabilities. The ranks of Achilles totally suppressed Satie. This was a case of encountering embarrassment, not a curse.
Still, the Storm battle team pressed on. Now all they have to do is take a chance.
For round two, the Storm battle team sent Ma Su. It was a difficult situation for the Storm battle team. But as a man from Manalasuo, he had to stand firm and believe he could overcome the difficulties.
A tower of a man, at 2.3 metres tall, Ma Su was a rare sight to behold. He seemed extraordinarily mighty. Ma Su looked provocatively at Wang Hao and showed him a hand gesture.
Wang Zheng smiled. "Mu Zhen."
Mu Zhen stood up. Everyone appeared dwarfish the moment he stood up.
Tita giant.
This was the Tita giant who surprised everyone in the qualifiers. It was not too surprising that the primitive man was good at the primitive combat, but what about using the mech?
Although he knew that the people of Tita were physically huge, in comparison, Ma Su felt that he was, for the first time, small.
Hell, what was the use of having a big physique when he was good at technique?
"Hey, kiddo, being strong is nothing. I'll show you what our human mech technology is made of," said Ma Su imposingly. He felt that the team's energy was a bit depressed, so it needed some momentum.
Mu Zhen smiled good-naturedly and chose his mech. Tita Giant Mech.
The size of this mech was really ….
Anyone who had seen this mech basically thought that it was too big, not suitable for conventional battle. Being such a big target, it was bound to be the focal strike point, with nowhere to hide.
Of course, the terrain of Tita Star and the restrictions on energy weapons would be practical, but Tita Star was just part of the silver alliance.
Mu Zhen was a primitive person, so he had a lot of adoration and belief for Tita. The Giant Mech was the obvious choice.
Ma Su chose the ace of Manalasuo - the Domineer mech. It had a strong defensive capability while maintaining a compelling maneuverability that allowed him to exhibit his skills. More importantly, the firepower of this mech was intense.
Who said that he wanted an hand-to-hand combat with this monster?
What happened was a mere appearance. He knew that Mu Zhen would not engage. Under such provocation, any self-respected contender would definitely respond. But this simple-minded man must believe that he had wanted a competition of strength. What a fool. He would finish him off with a blast.
This would truly be the crushing of one's IQ.
The two warriors go in their mecha. Achilles was back, perspiring, indicating that it was some warm-up. But the opponent was rather weak. Satie's Earth rank was obviously inadequate.
"How much longer, Lie Xin?" asked Wang Zheng.
Smiling slightly, Lie Xin said, "You guys should cut girls a little slack. But this SIG is a good opportunity."
Lie Xin needed a bit more time. People who practiced the ancient martial arts generally had a deeper understanding of Ability X. The key was to understand the essence more thoroughly. The two complemented each other without clashing. Together with the existence of the spirits from the Sage Sect, Lie Xin was ever more convinced that it was definitely more difficult for women to break through this barrier than men.
"You are more fearsome than most men," said Achilles. He seemed to be in good spirits.
The Earth rank threshold had been plaguing Achilles for a long time. The long strides of Wang Zheng, Olivios, and the others had brought him tremendous pressure and motivation. Although he finally attained Earth rank, Achilles felt that his level of comprehension was a far cry from Wang Zheng's. But he was not worried; more haste, less speed. Patience was the best virtue of the people of the Moon to say the least.
Satie's Earth rank Ability X was not considered strong. In fact, given Wang Zheng's current status, he would be able to read Satie easily. Sending Achilles out for the battle would ensure a win.
The Giant Mech and the Domineer had already engaged in combat in the battlefield. Ma Su was very clear that the long-range attack of the Giant Mech was actually very ineffective.
As soon as the competition began, the shoulder bomber and top laser of the Domineer were all powered up, firing non-stop at Mu Zhen. Mu Zhen had no choice but to use the buildings as cover.
The Domineer roared and suppressed. "Idiot. Aren't the people of Tita courageous? Get out here. Don't be a coward. Weren't you bragging just now? Get out here if you have guts."
In a city battle, the obscuring of buildings was very annoying. But Ma Su was in no hurry; he kept teasing the opponent as he thrusted forward. Neanderthals had relatively low emotional intelligence. They would not be able to endure the provocation.
The Giant Mech moved constantly. With its huge stature, it was difficult to evade. There was another problem. The Giant Mech was unable to use the teleportation box due to its relatively large size. The amount carried by the teleportation box only worked for standard mecha. Although it could be developed, it was rejected by KO Group in the end. The number of Giant Mechas was relatively small. As such, most were used for the internal defense of the Tita Star. It was impractical to start a single production line for something that would see little use.
As he thrusted forward, Ma Su continued ridicule Mu Zhen. The mech of Mu Zhen constantly ducked behind cover. But the firepower of the Domineer was too much and he was being forced into a dead end.
"Coward. Son of a b*tch. Didn't you brag about being a warrior? Come on! Come out and fight with me!" bellowed Ma Su. The crowd was deafening. But Mu Zhen was very calm, not easily aggravated. Unfortunately, it was of little use as he was already trapped in a corner.
The Domineer thrusted forward, all firepower armed, firing at thirty meters out. There was no place for the Giant Mech to hide, unless it could fly.
However, just as the Domineer mech appeared, Mu Zhe let out an earth-shattering roar. Rumbling, the Giant Mech charged towards the Domineer mech.
The roar on the ground gave Ma Su a fright. What was this? A joke?!
The laser and the shoulder guns struck at the same time, smashing into pieces!
At this very moment, the wind began to blow. Or more accurately, the storm struck, forming a vortex around the Giant Mech.
Shing, shing, shing…
The Giant Mech actually made a great maneuver – Polyline Maneuver followed by a Parkour Wall Maneuver.
Everyone was stunned for an instant. What the hell was this?
The most terrifying thing was that this series of movements was so smooth, the landing was so brisk, and with such a heavy mech???
If this feat was executed by any other mech, it would not have been startling. But a Giant Mech?
The giant instantly closed in by 10 meters. The Domineer sprung a sharp claw furiously. Its body gaining momentum, it charged forward with a sudden rampaging rush of power. His Ability X exploded. Playing flexibility?
What the hell!? I'll teach you a lesson today.
Ma Su cried out in his heart. But as the two mecha approached each other, an overwhelming pressure overcame him.
Like a bolt of lightning, that gigantic sword had already come slashing in.
Teleportation!
This was Ma Su's only reaction. He was soaked to the skin. How could this son of a b*tch be so strong?
He was thoughtful. Brute force and Wind Ability X were the only abilities that the opponent possessed.
Wang Zheng could not help but smile. His opponent was juvenile to the extreme. Although not every member of Saruman Snake was a veteran, they had nonetheless seen their fair share of battles. Mu Zhen had trained in combat skills since a young age, and had experienced the Tita wars. He was a true warrior that had crawled back from the clutches of death. Ma Su was like a child waving his plastic sword, unafraid of death.
To put distance between them in an instant was an easy feat, especially with such difference in strength. The Giant Mech seemed to bounce almost instantaneously. It was not an easy feat for a person with average strength to handle such a gigantic mech. But it was different for Mu Zhen. His mental capacity was always much stronger than that of human beings. The people of Tita were a nation blessed by the universe. The planet full of vitality gave the Tita people an energy more powerful than the humans. Wang Zheng had merely taught them how to exert the energy.
"Growl."
The Domineer's legs were pulled out. The gigantic Domineer mech was then tossed into the air like a helpless chick.
Boom… boom, boom, boom, boom… Hong… Hong, Hong, Hong, Hong…
The people of Tita had a temper.
Inside his mech, Ma Su was feeling disarrayed as he was being tossed. Aslan used the best simulators. He did not care for anything other than ensuring his survival.
To Mu Zhen, the Domineer Mech was a ferocious beast – the type that the people of Tita were best at dealing with.
The Domineer's fangs bit hard and the laser in its mouth was also emptied. This was followed by a punch.
Mu Zhen held down the Domineer with his body. Boom, boom, boom, boom…
Punch after punch, the Giant Mech's massive fist went slamming in. Pow…
Boom!
The Domineer was blown apart and sparks flew around. Mu Zhen stood up and picked up his big sword. Ma Su was obviously unworthy to be slayed by his sword.
In the duels of the people of Tita, only warriors were worthy to die under a sword.
