Tempest of the Stellar War
chapter-427

A short distance away, Bordia and Azhas of Atlantis were seen standing there. It was unknown how long they had been there for.

"There are mental wave fluctuations consolidating around him… but why is he not releasing them?" Azhas felt that the scene was a little strange. How could a human possess this type of overbearing mental power? This was too rare, but it seemed as though Wang Zheng did not know how to fully utilize his gifts.

"Perhaps he is using the ice energy of his opponent to practice something," Bordia said. The Atlantis team leader was getting more and more curious. Even he would not experiment at this stage.

Snow Lee was really frustrated. The greater her expectations, the greater her disappointments/ Maybe this was just how life was.

Let's end this!

Snow Lee was still unwilling to humiliate the first ever opponent which she had thought highly of. Even when she fought Olivios, she did not have such feelings towards him. Olivios was indeed very strong, a match for ten thousand enemies, but what truly moved Snow Lee was how Wang Zheng never gave up, despite the odds.

In terms of looks, Olivios was slightly more handsome, but the current situation seemed to have shown that she had made an error of judgement.

Cold, icy energy burst out with the lash of a saber strike. The Overlord repeatedly retreated. It seemed like it was not able to remain operational for much longer. She raised her beam saber up into the air, preparing to deal the final blow. Cold energy condensed around the saber furiously.

Up till now, Snow Lee had been continuously exerting her Ability X, and there was no sign of it weakening or running out. The team members of the Hail Cloud Alliance were full of pride. This was the power of the one born with the blessings from the Ice Dragon. The Ability X of Snow Lee was unique and unmatched, it was not one which ran out of steam so quickly.

Ice Explosion!

The saber sliced downwards, and rays of lights were radiating all around the beam saber. A devastating strike supported by overbearing ice energy flew towards Wang Zheng. This was the perfect combination of an Ability X and a weapon. However, it was just that Snow Lee appeared even more powerful than before, her blow even showing signs of warping the space around her…

The Overlord raised its shield…

Wang Zheng was still trying to block the blow? Furthermore, he did not plan to activate his energy shield?

It seemed that even activating the energy shield would be useless. The Ability X would still penetrate through. The ice energy inside his body had already accumulated and would definitely erupt upon being hit by this move.

Everyone could not help but to sigh. This had just been a big show. Even though they had known that the miracle would come to an end, in any case, Wang Zheng should have fought harder!

However, Olivios suddenly opened his eyes, his sharp gaze piercing into the distance.

Facing the cold energy that was attacking him, the Primordial Regression Technique of Wang Zheng finally reacted.

In the past, the intimate contact with Meng Tian had given rise to him being able to use an ice Ability X. Since then, it was fairly difficult to make a breakthrough. What he had done was was like placing himself on a field of death so that he would be forced to fight to live!

Boom!!!!

The disappointed eyes of the audience suddenly reignited. Raging flames could be seen on the gigantic shield, and they were burning strongly.

Fire Ability X???

Everyone was in a craze. As for those generals, they even jumped up straight away and looked at each other in dismay… Were they seeing things?

How was this possible? they undoubtedly had seen that Wang Zheng had once used an ice Ability X, and it was absolutely impossible for a person's body to be able to endure these two types of opposing abilities!

The gigantic shield of the Overlord was a glowering red, and that fierce saber attack from Snow Lee had been completely defended against...

Snow Lee was also stunned… Wasn't he someone with an ice Ability X?

Olivios showed an exaggerated smirk from the corner of his mouth. Interesting, this was really interesting. There was actually someone who was a freak like him in this world.

Zhang Shan and the rest looked at each other in dismay. There was nobody else who knew better than them that Wang Zheng only had an ice Ability X. Since when did it become fire?

The hall was in an uproar. They simply could not accept what was happening before their eyes.

The Overlord slowly stood up. "Sorry for holding up you up. We can now begin."

This breakthrough held a great significance to Wang Zheng as it validated his way of thinking, that Ability X could be learned and developed! The birth of the ice ability was not incidental, it was just that the process was a little twisted.

Snow Lee was shocked, but she smiled sweetly. As expected, she would naturally be attracted to one who was so outstanding. And with his breakthrough, this courage he possessed thoroughly defied the natural order of things.

"Wang Zheng, if you think that you will be able to defeat me by possessing fire Ability X, then you are gravely mistaken."

The ice phoenix engraved on the Ice Emperor mech was twinkling with strong rays of light. The color of the whole mech was changing; it actually changed into a frozen blue color. And at the same time, the temperature outside also suddenly dipped.

The Ice Emperor mech switched to its combat mode. Previously, it was in its base mode, meant for general purpose situations. As the trump card of the Hail Cloud Alliance, if it was merely so ordinary, it would not have been able to be considered their trump card. The Hail Cloud Alliance had long discovered this type of cold ore since its inception, but it was just that they could not find a way to make use of it. It was only after it was found to be compatible with Ability X, together with the conduction through G material, that it really gave rise to its transformational aspects.

Cold ore was also an uncommon type of mineral resource. It was unique to the Hail Cloud Alliance, and the output was extremely low. Some of it was added to the Hail Cloud Alliance mecha, and as for the Ice Emperor, which was their trump card, 30% of it was made of the cold ore.

And once it was activated, there would be an outburst of energy from the cold ore. And the effect was even more surprising under the stimulation by Snow Lee. Unknowingly, the ground had already been covered in a thin layer of ice, and the sky started snowing.

Nobody would have expected that a battle that seemed like it was about to end had only truly started. And it was unexpected that Snow Lee could be so strong. All along, people had thought that Olivios was not willing to hit a woman, or it was out of his other considerations, which resulted in him not using his full strength. But looking at the situation now, it seemed that everyone was wrong.

Snow Lee was indeed the super warrior that emerged once every century in the Hail Cloud Alliance.

Snow Lee was like a proud ice snow phoenix that definitely blossomed in front of the opponent that she admired.

What everyone was concerned about was whether the fire ability that Wang Zheng had just utilized would be able to withstand against the strongest of ice abilities. It was a sudden realization that Wang Zheng seemed to hold no advantage at all. Would such a newfound ability be able to compete against the icy empress?

Buzz~

A white whirlpool appeared in the torso of the Ice Emperor mech. It generated a strong, attractive force and freezing ability, and it seemed as though it was building up energy.

The frost and snow which had appeared just now were not just for show; they were actually there to foreshadow the strongest attack of the Ice Emperor mech.

The area covered by the freezing air immediately increased by multiple times. It was not simply just a decrease in physical temperature. The ability to defend against cold temperatures would not be lacking for any type of mech. It was just that this attack was simply terrifying.

After all, metals were still metals. Once penetrated by freezing air, not only would it not be able to defend against cold, but also it would become the best conductor.

This was something that could not be dodged nor blocked. The outside of the battlefield had already become Snow Lee's world.

This was Snow Lee's most unfathomable strike– Absolute Zero Flame!

There was no way for one to understand it!

The reason why it was called a flame was due to the effect where if the attack struck, the temperature was so cold such that even one's skin would immediately break apart and die, much like being burned.

An entire radius of a few hundred meters had been sealed off. The silver hair of Snow Lee, who was in the Ice Emperor, was sparkling with radiance. She seemed just like an icy snow goddess.

The terrifying freezing air started flaring up, and it completely drowned the Overlord mech. Let's not say one Overlord, even if it was ten or twenty of those mecha, they would all be submerged in this cold air. This was an indiscriminate large scale attack which did not differentiate friend from foe.

Bang...

Amidst the white and cold air, a ray of red light flashed out. And for an instant, time stopped for a second.

In the next moment, a ray of white light erupted and dispersed…

It soared into the sky and an explosion occurred. Both the sky and the ground were shaking. Even though it was a hundred meters away, the windows of nearby buildings still exploded into pieces. Two waves of energy, one cold and one hot, swept across the many people watching.

C-rank fire ability against C-rank ice ability.

The power of the collision from this attack was much more ferocious than the one produced by Olivios' shockwave. And of course, this was the result of the superposition of abilities and collision between ice and fire.

After a long time, the waves of energy dispersed completely. The two mecha were still standing still, seemingly undamaged. It was just that everything beneath them had been destroyed.

Both mecha did not move. Who had won and who had lost?

Were they still going to fight?

"I admit defeat." After quite a while, Snow Lee's voice came from the Ice Emperor.

The whole audience was still silent because nobody knew why Snow Lee had admitted defeat or what had happened just now.

Fortunately, the playback appeared on the large screen just in time. The screen showed the energy waves, and the difference on the energy meters showed the energy and strength emitted by both parties when attacking.

For the Ice Emperor of Snow Lee, the destructive power was the greatest within a ten to twenty meters range. If it was too far or too close, it would have reduced the destructive power of her move significantly. This move of absolute zero fire was known as her finishing move, and only Snow Lee was able to put it to use. But for Wang Zheng, his Ability X's effect was more concentrated. There was a fixed range to kill or injure, and it was only approximately 10 meters or so. However, the outcome of the battle relied on this point. The Ice Emperor mech of Snow Lee was unable to move or defend, whereas for the Overlord mech of Wang Zheng could concentrate and launch his attack directly onto Snow Lee, considering the short distance between them at the end.

Why? The Overlord had used its Sky Rocket Cannon, and in the instant when the Overlord mech landed, it was about give meters away from the mech, and not in a place where the Ice Emperor mech's attack would be strongest. This was obviously something which Wang Zheng understood about the ice Ability X. Hence he moved the way he did. However, he did not directly attack the Ice Emperor mech.

Once hit directly, Snow Lee would definitely have faced a horrible death.

"Boss is so mighty. He really is a lady killer. Even at this moment he is still having tender and protective feelings for this lady."

At this moment, the one who was most understanding about amorous feelings was naturally Tyrant Su. The guy was still immeasurably self-satisfied. "Who am I kidding? Boss would always give in to some extent against a beautiful lady!"

Winning or losing, it was something that Tyrant Su was never at a loss about. He was someone who had seen Skeleton's emergence in CT. What situation had he not seen before? IG was just a small occasion, and some of the magnificent moves could not be compared to CT at all. As for the difficulty level, it was not something an amateur player like Tyrant Su would consider…

Whether or not he was being lenient, only the person involved knew. Wang Zheng could have possibly hit the target directly, but it could also be that he was unable to control it. However, everyone who was present knew clearly that with Wang Zheng's strength, it was impossible that he was unable to control it.

It was just that he was unwilling to kill.

Thinking back to how brutal Wang Zheng was with exterminating Zerg, the old general of the Hail Cloud Alliance was secretly praying and thanking the Ice Snow Goddess. If any unexpected mishap fell on Snow Lee, he would have become a sinner.

On the side of the Hail Cloud team, they were not dispirited at all. They were in a really good mood, especially since Snow Lee had only suffered minor injuries. Their hearts were full of thanks. Even though the position of Snow Lee in Hail Cloud was not as exaggerated as Aina in Aslan, she had also caught the eyes of many.

Wang Zheng and Snow Lee were pulled out almost the same time by the staff. Student Wang was still alright when compared to Snow Lee, who was clearly extremely weak at this point. Wang Zheng, on the other hand, seemed to be in high spirits.

With such a monstrous body, it indeed made those who saw the scene feel pretty fearful. He was like a cockroach that you could never get rid of. Did he even freaking know what being tired meant?

But the way Snow Lee looked at Wang Zheng was full of tender feelings. That was how a girl was. When she admired a guy, a favorable first impression was most important. And what's more, Wang Zheng had defeated her. And at the most crucial moment, he still spared her. It would be tough for Snow Lee not to fall for him.

Logically, if a battle was unfinished, one would still remain as enemies, but Snow Lee still took the initiative and went forward. "Team Leader Wang Zheng, I have benefited a lot from this battle and it has really broadened my horizons. I hope that we will have more chances to interact in the future."

A beautiful lady took the initiative and reached out. Wang Zheng touched his nose. Naturally he should not be lacking in manners. But… sigh…

At this instant, on the side of the Solar System Federation team, roaring cheers were heard. Not only had Wang Zheng won the battle, he had also won the respect of his opponent. This was awesome.

The battle between the Hail Cloud Alliance and the Solar System Federation truly possessed a little hint of competition.

"F*ck, Wang Zheng, since when did you possess fire Ability X? Don't tell me it was an impromptu development?"

"Aren't you someone with an ice ability?"

Suddenly, there was an onslaught of questions attacking him like a tide. But very soon, they were commanded to move away by the people of Aslan. The fact was that the battle had not yet ended, and the Solar System also had not won this competition. There was still the most crucial round.

It was obvious that both parties needed a five minute break. For the first time, the quarterfinals battles entered into a team battle selection.

"F*ck, Wang Zheng, you were too awesome. Did you see how Snow Lee looked at you? It was obvious that she wanted to pay you instead of getting paid. So, actually, the way of a king was to have tender and protective feelings for a lady, hehe!" Zhang Shan prostrated himself in admiration.

Beautiful lady, kneel down and say that you are conquered by me!

"Actually…"

"Alright, you're a real man of character. No need to say anymore. For a superb, beautiful lady like Snow Lee, if it was anyone else, nobody would dare to put one's hand on her too."

Zhang Shan and the rest around him gave Wang Zheng no chance of explanation at all.

Wang Zheng was depressed… He had actually wanted to say that it was his first time using this move, and because he felt a little dizzy from using the Sky Rocket Cannon, he wasn't able to respond appropriately to her...
