Chapter 879: Lowering One’s Head To Achieve Future Domination

It was a pity as Lear had never intended to use Maya’s Mantis. He had already received news from his professor that this would be the final round of the Greatest King Competition. The Elite Academy was just doing a trial run. While the results had been good so far, there was still room for improvement in many aspects. The school had received countless applications to join the battle. But what was more important was that the battle had fueled the students’ desire to win. The point was not the matches, but self-improvement; hence, after the third round, the competition would enter an intermission period.
Lear was sure that this battle would be recorded in the history of the Elite Academy, or even that of human civilization. And he wanted to be the person who left a legacy behind, starting from this moment.
He bellowed!
It came from his heart, his soul — and carried his great ambitions. The beam saber released rays of light that penetrated every corner. The Ability X began building up as well, waiting for the right opportunity to strike. It seems like Lear was ready to engage in a life-or-death battle with Yang Pan.
Zhang Shan’s jaw dropped. “God, is this still the Lear that I know? When did he become so fearless? ”
There’s definitely a conspiracy!
Yang Pan’s Sirius advanced audaciously. The tension was in the air. The two captains had taken control of the situation the moment the battle began.
“The two of them are trying to defeat each other in one strike. They are too impulsive,” Ka Tao gawked. The battle between any two strong mech warriors always requires some buffer time so that the body could adapt to the impact of physics and the Ability X. What they were doing was suicidal. They hurt their opponents as much as they hurt themselves.
There were only 20 meters left between the two mecha. The other mecha were still a distance away from each other. It was obvious that both teams were leaving their fate to the captains.
Lear’s beam saber was dazzling. The moment had arrived!
Sirius leaped towards the sky and slashed the Alloy Sword downwards. His debilitating power was bestowed upon him by Heaven; there was nothing he could not eliminate!
It was a spectacular sight, as the incomparable Ability X struck towards Unbounded like lightning.
“Yang Pan’s debilitating power originated from the metal element. But its greatest strength is that once you enter his zone of control, it is controlled by the spirit.” Just as Ka Tao ended his sentence, the Unbounded mech disappeared.
Yang Pan has amassed his strength and Ability X to the highest point, but all of a sudden, his target was gone. It was as though the sluice that was supposed to release the flood could not be opened in the last moment.
The delay was less than a minute, and Yang Pan was on the verge of exploding. If he did not make a move soon, he would incur internal injuries.
Boom…
The complete release of his power was a terrifying sight. It was hard to imagine how a mech could produce an effect of this magnitude.
Followed closely was a deafening sound produced by the mech’s strike.
In the midst of thick smoke, a silver Unbounded α made his way out.
Lear casually created a spark with the beam saber in his hand. Only a word came out of his mouth, which was “Kill!”.
Lie Xin smiled alluringly. The Flaming Waltz had struck an unimaginable blow on Golden Wheel King and slew him alive. She was indeed violent!
Pengwu’s Fortress mech took on Woolf’s entire set of attacks forcefully. Woolf’s attacks, which involved high control, had to go through an entire routine to take effect. At any point which they were intercepted by the opponent, Woolf would no longer be able to react effectively. The most crucial thing was that the Mayan’s Mantis has shamelessly started its Perish Song.
As for Luo Fei, he had privately sent Sloughberg off. Sloughberg could not understand why his Darkness Screen had failed to work. When he exerted his strength, his opponent could not see clearly, but he could. He saw the nature of his Darkness Screen. It was supposed to be his innate talent. But it seems that within his Darkness Screen, there were… demon souls.
He felt defeated!
The Dynasty Team ended their third round with loud, fiery cheers, starting with Lear. As each person wiped his opponent effortlessly, the team had truly demonstrated their formidability.
Lear… Lear… Lear…
Far away on Earth, the students of Zeus College were overjoyed. After the Dynasty Team lost in the previous match, everyone was worried that the team would lose their confidence and never pick themselves up again. But they were proved wrong. Lear Chronos, their leader, had shown the world how much the Dynasty had grown by winning hands down this time around.
No one could fathom how this victory had happened.
Even Yang Pan could not believe it. In the control room, he let out an exasperated grunt. How could this happen!?
The screen replayed the climactic moment of the match. Yang Pan indeed possessed a strong debilitating ability and was incomparable in his frontal attacks. His move was a cumulation of strength and energy, and even the mech used the most extreme form of attack. This was Yang Pan’s expertise – anyone who dared to confront him head-on was definitely courting his own death.
This was unexplainable!
Everyone stared at the moving screen, Yang Pan’s skills were indeed perfect.
But…
Wang Zheng and Achilles exchanged glances. They knew how Lear had done it.
This concept did not exist outside of the Solar System, but it was no secret.
The strongest was the weakest!
When one fought to kill, all the energy and power culminated in that instant would push his body to a limit. As the build-up had to be released somehow, he put himself in a very dangerous position. One could not imagine what might happen if the energy was not let out in time.
This was exactly what Lear did.
From the beginning, Lear had never intended to confront Yang Pan directly. He acted like he was and vanished when Yang Pan was ready to attack.
There was, of course, continuity in this three-in-one attack, which consisted of unifying life energy, vital energy, and mental spirit. Yang Pan had arrived at today’s state due to his strong mental control. But the problem was that no control by the mind could be indefinite. Lear’s Ares Art allowed him to disappear in an instant, which was similar to how teleporting worked. It only happened for a second, and you could make a series of continuous blows at the same time. Each time one made a blow, one’s speed would decrease accordingly, but for the first three blows, they were considered extremely high speed. When Yang Pan did not manage to grasp Lear’s traces on the first blow, he was fated to lose.
One could say that Yang Pan was harmed by his debilitating power.
In fact, an intellectual defeat!
It had been an effortless move for Lear. The only thing he had done was attack with his sword when Yang Pan was consumed by his own power.
Once Yang Pan was defeated, the rest of the Dark Wolves Battle Team members lost their morale. They attempted to go down fighting, but technically it was no different from surrendering. The entire team just fell apart in a while.
Ka Tao could not help but cheer loudly. As someone who studied war tactics, he was greatly stirred by Lear’s performance. Only a truly powerful man could read the situation so well. He was almost ready to idolize Lear.
Lear was humble as usual. He bowed to the entire stadium upon gaining victory.
He has demonstrated humility, intelligence, strength, and strong leadership, all of which were important traits that made him undoubtedly the next rising star of Milky Way Alliance.
What no one saw was the pair of power-hungry eyes hidden beneath.
At this moment, he lowered his head. In the future, this world would kneel in front of him.
Aina and Hocatolin were exchanging words as well. They look extremely impressed by Lear’s performance. On one side, Huiyin was worried sick. Lear was Wang Zheng’s foe. This was difficult. How could Aina forget everything? Her head was throbbing.
After their outstanding performance in the last two rounds, it seems that the Saruman Snake Battle Team had run out of luck. This time, they were up for a match with the Asura Battle Team, one of the most intimidating opponents. Even the Imperial Glory Battle Team struggled, this meant that it would be even worse for Wang Zheng. Moreover, this was the last round. When the next round would come by was still undecided. Sigh. Why was God not helping Wang Zheng?
Wang Zheng could feel Huiyin’s empathetic eyes. He had no idea why she was looking at him as though he was a puppy.
The next match was the Eagle Battle Team against the Icefire Battle Team. To both teams, it was a matter of life and death now.
The last two defeats did not just create more pressure for the teams, but also put the reputation of the countries they represented at stake.
This was especially so for Manalasuo. There was no reason for failures, but the people of Manalasuo never admit defeat to them. This entire time, they had been practicing hard behind closed doors.
The Hail Fire Team shared the same conviction – they have been conducting high-intensity training in secret as well, one after another.
After all that they had gone through, both teams’ desire for victory was unimaginably strong –as much as a wolf’s craving for blood. Winning was the only way they could prove themselves.
As soon as both teams entered the battlefield, a commotion was generated in the crowd.
“What’s with the Eagle Battle Team? Who are all those people?”
“They have changed all their team members. Only Dendi is still there.”
Ka Tao read through the members’ profile on the booklet that he just received and was a little surprised.” This change in members is unexpected, but not totally unreasonable. After all, given the ambitions the Manalasuo people have, they need to be more realistic. ”
Xue Yue nodded her head in agreement. “Professor La Tu, what do you think? The Eagle Battle team changed almost all of their members in such a short time. Do you think it will affect the team’s chemistry?”
La Tu smiled and said, “I believe they have been working on this issue when they took a break to train. Let’s just see how it goes.”
“The four new members that just joined the Eagle Battle Team were Harvey, Rui Ken, Mapuski and Yi Ningdan. Even though they are all amateurs, their ability should be stronger than the previous members. Let’s just see. As for the Icefire Battle Team …”
