Tempest of the Stellar War
chapter-1137

Chapter 1137: Cliff

His dreams were bountiful, but they could not become reality. Olivios was still formidable and the Asuras were still unrivalled. It seemed as if he had just missed a step, like he would win if he had put in a bit more strength, but in reality, that was just impossible.

But of course, everyone had to acknowledge that Zhou Yun was a strong warrior, that he could match up to the Dynasty battle team’s prestige, but there was no use if he was not victorious.

Lear seemed to have predicted it. After all, it was Olivios. It would be strange if he had won.

“Are you okay?” Lear inquired. Once they entered the team battle, Zhou Yun would also be the main force.

Zhou Yun wiped off the blood on the corner of his mouth. “Just a bit of a shock, it’s not a big deal.”

Lear nodded. “Our advantage is in tactics, but we must still be rational. This is a good lesson.”

Zhou Yun nodded his head. It was really as such. He could only humbly accept that the most important part was that he had too few battling experiences with such experts.

The meaning behind this battle was not to compare notes, but to compete – it could even be a battle to the death. It was obvious that he was not thinking straight in the battle just now. Although he was fanatic, he had made too many mistakes.

Lear knew, and Olivios was even clearer now. After that interaction, he felt that the opponent’s methods of attacking were very routined and highly special. It was filled with a “martial arts competition” feel and had a lot of potential, but it had deviated.

They were soldiers, not martial artists, and even more so not acrobats.

Anluda immediately stood up. “Lear, let me do the next battle. I guarantee that I will finish them!”

Between the ancient martial arts trio, Anluda had the most desire to become famous. He indeed had quite good capabilities, but he seemed to have forgotten that Lear was the captain.

Lear gave a slight smile. “Are you sure?”

“I am certain. Even if Mars goes up, he will be thrashed as well. Ability X has no effect on me!”

Anluda’s Ability X was a scarcely seen deceleration field which belonged to a special type of Ability X. Once anyone entered within a fifty metre range, all the attacks would be decelerated, and at the same time, the effects of Ability X will be discounted. Although it was not at the level of complete immunity, its weakening ability would strengthen as the target came closer. With his robust physique, he would be able to handle it.

Anluda chose the Wind God. His martial technique was the Rising Winds technique, a technique that adjusted the body’s speed and frequency, and it also had a set of matching successive assassination skills. Accelerating the opponent and oneself, Anluda sure had the capability of acting dumb.

Anluda was up. He did not care about what mech the opponent was using, or what position. It did not matter. With the addition of the ability to teleport, he was going to kill them off.

Lear was as calm as usual, but Luo Fei was a bit anxious, and upon giving a glance, he stopped himself from saying anything. The three of them did have the skill, it was just that they were too anxious to show off. The SIG was a good time to do so, but even if they were capable, they would also need to be stable to stand a chance. On top of that, this was a top 16 battle.

Lear used to have a personality that liked to instill fear. He hated people who went against him the most, but recently, he had undergone a huge change, so Fatty did not dare to say anything.

On Arbiter’s side, Mars gazed around, “Sweeney, you’re up.”

“Leave it to me.” Sweeney licked her lips, appearing exceptionally unfeeling and devilish.

Sweeney was using the habitually used Reaper as usual.

“Come on, Sweeney!” The Saruman Snake’s side suddenly belted.

… Zhang Shan… Everyone was dumbfounded. What was this fellow playing at?

Zhang Shan, however, did not seem to care at all. Although the relationship between him and Sweeney was slightly strange, at the very least, they were still friends with benefits with invested feelings, so he stood his ground. Practically speaking, he really could not stand Lear and the trio.

Ai Xiaolu glared at Zhang Shan. This fellow was like a walking time bomb, always doing unexpected things out of the norm.

Not saying anything, the corners of Sweeney’s lips revealed a rare hint of a smile. The people of Arbiter liked true temperaments and straightness, so being weird was nothing to them.

“The Dynasty battle team is basically finished,” Di Maria stated. There was a hint of disappointment in his words. How to say it? Lear was like a poster guy; there were too many people like that, but in Elite Academy X, Lear’s performance was certainly not bad. Di Maria had also wanted to strengthen their cooperation with each other. Other than that, Aslan had also wished to strengthen the relationship with the Solar System. The Cronos family were conservatively deep-rooted there, and in comparison to the emerging radical forces, were better-suited to Aslan’s requirements.

Qiankun Zadeh’s attention was instead all on Wang Zheng, whose injuries had recovered. Having heard the situation of the later part of the battle, Qiankun Zadeh was undergoing an internal turmoil and was having contradicting feelings. He personally admired Wang Zheng quite a bit in terms of ability; however, they were opponents that could not be tolerated.

Although he wished to face Saruman Snake, deep down, he did not know how to handle Wang Zheng. This person was able to heavily pressure him even just by sitting there.

Lin Feng gently pat Qiankun Zadeh. “Don’t be overly concerned.”

Qiankun Zadeh nodded his head. Di Maria was still very relaxed as he had someone to “share delights and hardships” with. This proved that Wang Zheng was a monster, and it was not that he was not good enough.

“This Lear is not simple. You all can wait for the good show coming.” Lin Feng turned and smiled, causing the other two to be stunned.

“Brother Lin, could it be that you got it wrong? That fellow is just a bootlicker who wants to climb to higher positions. Looking at him right now, he does not even have control over the Dynasty battle team.” Di Maria disagreed. He had investigated the Dynasty battle team before. It seemed that Lear had given the two Mayans a lot of benefits to get them to agree to help him, in addition to the fact that he was an expert in boot-licking. He had brains and tolerance, but his ability was not yet there.

Lin Feng laughed out. “Just watch. Do you really think that so many people came just to watch the people of Arbiter oppress some weaklings?”

In the arena, Anluda’s Wind God fell into a fully passive state as Sweeney had not planned to battle him directly. She instead used the scout’s specialization – harassment. The ability to be invisible for long periods, on top of rapid explosive energy, could cause Sweeney’s victim to immediately leave the battle without even getting hit once. Anluda, who wholeheartedly wanted to show off his control skills, could not stand the thought of it, and he was completely fuming.

His control over the Wind God and his Ability X were not bad, but he made the same mistakes that Zhou Yun had made, and it was even worse compared to Zhou Yun’s. Even if one was at the level of the top 10 captains, no one would dare to be so arrogantly confident. Anluda and Zhou Yun’s confidence were slightly over the top.

There were a lot of methods to battle; it is not possible to expect the opponent to always follow according to your needs.

Sweeney was not Olivios – she did not have absolute certainty. What she definitely had to do was use her own flow and not care about the time or place. The most important thing was to finish off the opponent.

With just a few probes, she was able to sound out the traits of the opponent’s Ability X, the effect of extending impact. Next would be the fatal move.

Anluda’s Wind God continued to pursue. The Wind God was definitely fast, but the Reaper was also a famous Arbiter scout mech. With Sweeney’s sudden blinding ability and the large arena, she was completely playing the opponent. She could easily pull away the distance just by slightly changing directions.

Anluda’s performance was too immature.

Lear gave Zhou Yun and Pang Tong a look. “Do you all realize how stupid you were?”
