“Tianjing Mecha Arts Academy only has two truly strong points: Captain Li Hao and vanguard Cheng Konghai. These two are genuinely formidable, with a solid Ryushin Martial level. Li Hao is definitely in Soul Form, but he hasn't fully shown it yet. His personal strength is truly unfathomable; I respectfully call him Puppet God!”

“Cheng Konghai is also quite impressive. His Ironclad Steel Fist has opened up new horizons for mecha combat. He looks small and thin, but that’s just an illusion. He must be a power-talent type of player, and his Golden Zone ability is also used very powerfully, making him a leader in this year's S-competition."

“Other points, like Musashi, Zhou Naiyi, and Zuo Xiaotang, are not absolutely strong points. You can watch the previous matches; their problems and strengths are very prominent. Moreover, after two rounds of consumption by powerful opponents, their abilities have also been well-known. Their combat style should have been thoroughly studied, and the Vulcan Team shouldn’t make any elementary mistakes.”

“The problem is still Li Hao and Cheng Konghai. If these two can drag the match into a team battle, then everything is unknown.”

“I can only say that both sides have a chance in this match, and I especially look forward to Puppet God and Wolf King clashing!”

“Earth has really risen this year. Besides North Carolina maintaining its usual level, Tianjing has indeed given everyone a surprise.”

There is still an hour before the competition, but the popularity of the live broadcast room has exceeded 10 billion, and the highest number of simultaneous online viewers is more than 2 billion, which is unprecedented for a quarter-final-level battle.

At this moment, the entire solidified Tianjing City is empty, with people either gathering at Tianjing Mecha Arts Academy or in the city square, waiting for this historic moment.

Tianjing is famous, but only within the Asian region. In the past, it had martial arts honors to show off, but the selection mechanism at that time was different from now. In fact, it didn’t have as much weight as it does now. The gold content of this year’s competition is even more incomparable to the past, and Tianjing Mecha Arts Academy has reached this point not by luck, but by crushing powerful opponents step by step. Every step has been solid.

Vulcan Team, this is an even stronger opponent they are facing. Semi-finals, can Tianjing Mecha Arts Academy make a breakthrough?

Long Danni is still alone in her principal's office, quietly waiting for the start of the game. She is nervous. She has comprehensively assessed the two teams. Tianjing Mecha Arts Academy only has a 30% chance of winning. Vulcan is a team with no weaknesses overall, strong discipline, firm will, and extremely clear goals. Those who really understand know that Maxis is the strongest. On Mars, Basta is the strongest – this is essential strength.

Can they get through this hurdle?

Mars, Vulcan Academy, at this moment, the Vulcan Team carries the wishes of all Martians. This is the strongest S-competition ever, and a huge opportunity is in front of the Vulcan Team. Tianjing Mecha Arts Academy is a tough nut to crack, but in the eyes of many, it can only be considered an upper-middle opponent among the quarter-finalists. For Mars, this is a favorable draw.

Win this game and meet Galaxy and North Carolina in the semi-finals.

In the war room, the atmosphere at Tianjing Mecha Arts Academy is still quite heavy. Neither the calm Zhou Naiyi nor the steady Musashi have experienced this before. During this period, unprecedented media attention and the experience of those around them have flooded in. It is simply not human to maintain a state of unchanging calm. In the beginning, they simply had an attitude of 'it's good if we have it, and it doesn't matter if we don't.' But now that they've reached this point, they also want to go further. And the strength of Vulcan is unprecedentedly powerful. Desire and strength are intertwined, which creates pressure. Their nerves are tense, and it's clear that they are constantly thinking about the game and their opponents.

The situation is even more serious for Zuo Xiaotang and Ma Long. Ma Long is simply nervous and under pressure. The level of this competition has exceeded his range of ability. It is no longer something that can be achieved through hard work alone, unless he has a genetic mutation and cheats. As for Zuo Xiaotang, he was originally carefree, but Zhou Naiyi assigned him two imaginary enemies, and that responsibility is too great.

Sheng Man and others tried to lighten the atmosphere, but it was useless. They are also nervous. No one has experienced such a big scene. At this time, it is not useful to say some motivational words or platitudes. The strength and experience of the opponents are solid, and what they lack is this kind of big competition experience. Whether successful or failed, the process is a mental training.

Li Hao and Cheng Konghai have not changed much, but there is not much to say. The reason they are like this is that they have experienced things in Apocalypse that ordinary people cannot experience. Cheng Konghai has fallen from the peak to the bottom. Wandering the streets for the past five years, he has experienced all kinds of human relationships. It cannot be said that he has seen through everything, but he no longer cares about what he doesn't care about. He only cares about what he cares about.

The principles others say are always theirs; only what you experience yourself is truly yours.

The audience outside is roaring like a tsunami. The game hasn't started yet, but the Earth and Mars audiences have already set off waves of people in the arena. One side is Earth blue, and the other side is Mars red. Neither side is willing to admit defeat in terms of momentum.

The venue is packed with guests, and the player area is also dazzling with stars. Players from major teams have almost all come. Captain Tita of the Tianxing Mecha Arts Academy and Goddess Arths have also come to this match. The overall attraction of this match is much higher than the match between the Hailong Team and the Howling Team next door. tAs has never been much to watch. In terms of overall strength, Hailong is much stronger than Howling. It is true that Yin Tai Dumela has a special skill that directly targets mech pilots, but even any kind of ability is nothing more than a derivative of the Golden Zone. If Hailong still can't find a solution by this time, they don't deserve to enter the semi-finals.

While both sides were preparing, something shocking happened: Captain Xilian of the Hailong Team… actually appeared in the audience???

Xilian appeared in the player area to watch the match. Isn't he fighting???

When the camera turned to him, the director even wondered if it just looked like him… The camera stayed on him for a long time, and it was in the player area, this…

In the official live broadcast room, Huo Nan and Kuang Wu Daren have already been arguing for several rounds. Huo Nan is a die-hard fan of Vulcan, and at this moment, he is firing on all cylinders, making Kuang Wu Daren a little out of breath. In short, Vulcan will win, and they will burn Mu Jiang to ashes with 100 million percent certainty.

“It’s not like him, it is Xilian!” Huo Nan said decisively. “Just got the news that Xilian will not play in today’s match due to physical discomfort.”

The camera immediately focused on Xilian, but Xilian was smiling and completely indifferent to the outside world's comments and guesses. Obviously, this kind of behavior would not be well-received. Even if he was physically unable to play, shouldn't he cheer for his teammates?

Of course, some people thought that Xilian had come early to observe his opponents. On the other hand, it also showed that he was very confident in the Hailong Team.

Others thought that it was originally Li Xiangshan's team and that this guy was just a decoration… a Ryushin Martial decoration?

Xilian was just looking at the arena because, in his judgment, it would be difficult for Tianjing Mecha Arts Academy to get past Vulcan. They only had a 10% chance of winning. Romero was still too capricious, so he could only be a lone wolf, but Basta was not, so he was the Wolf King. He was very well-prepared. Given the current situation of Tianjing Mecha Arts Academy, even if it were him, he wouldn't know how to get past it, so he had to come and see.

"Li Hao, don't let me down."

He had been waiting for a long, long time, just to settle things under the witness of all mankind. If Tianjing Mecha Arts Academy was just a waste, he would be very, very angry and might do something extreme to vent his anger. A Li Hao who cannot fight him is not worthy of his patience and respect. ノ亅丶說壹2З

He wanted to witness with his own eyes whether Li Hao was still the same Li Hao as before.

Xilian was surrounded by empty space; no one dared to approach him. They were all from Apocalypse, and they could feel the strange aura emanating from Xilian.

"Aofei, how is it? Does Second Brother have any special moves?" Seeing Xilian's appearance, Robbie was also a little worried. In fact, the Hunters were clear that Xilian, who was born in Rome, had never lost. The only time he almost lost his life, so he wanted to win once in front of the entire solar system.

Aofei shook his head. "I haven't heard of any moves."

The camera also showed close-ups of the players in the war room. Both sides were already preparing to warm up.

"They look nervous." Robbie frowned. This wasn't the kind of nervousness that ordinary people have. Musashi, Zhou Naiyi, and the others were all too serious, as if they were afraid to breathe too loudly. The game hadn't even started yet.

"Think about what Tianjing Mecha Arts Academy was like a year ago. They haven't experienced this before. It's already good that they're like this. We weren't as good as them." Aofei said helplessly. No one grows up all at once, but now there's no time left for Tianjing Mecha Arts Academy.

"Anyway, Second Brother and Ant are carrying the flag. It doesn't matter." Depuya curled his lips. "If I had known this, I would have transferred schools."

"Hehe, you're just a loudmouth. Why didn't you do it earlier?"

"It definitely won't work like this. No matter how strong Second Brother is, he can't possibly carry the team into the finals alone."

North Carolina was not at the scene, but was watching the Hailong match. Zhao Qinglong and others did not expect that he would suddenly say that he would not fight at this time. This kind of willfulness and doing whatever he wanted had not changed at all. At the same time, this also showed that Hailong definitely had a way to restrain Howling, and Xilian was not very optimistic about Tianjing Mecha Arts Academy either.

Frankly speaking, Zhao Qinglong was not optimistic either. There was an evaluation of the semi-final-level players. Except for the point of Li Hao, Tianjing Mecha Arts Academy was completely behind. Even Cheng Konghai, who seemed invincible in the eyes of ordinary people, could be completely targeted at their level, let alone team battles. The team battle level of Tianjing Mecha Arts Academy was far from the top teams. This was no exaggeration.

He didn't know how they would get through this hurdle, but this was only the first year of Second Brother's comeback. It was already a remarkable achievement to get this far. No one else could have achieved it. The future is promising.

In the war room of the Vulcan Team, the morale of all the players had been ignited. All the tactics had been formulated. This day had finally come, and they couldn't wait!

The game begins.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the scene of the semi-final battle of the Pan-Solar System Mecha Competition. I am the explosive Huo Nan!"

"Hello everyone, I am Kuang Wu Daren. What is about to begin is a focus battle between Tianjing Mecha Arts Academy and the Vulcan Team. On one side is the Tianjing Mecha Arts Academy Team, which has been a dark horse all the way, and on the other side is the Martian king, Vulcan. Currently, the support rate for the two teams is close to 50-50. Welcome everyone to vote to support their own team."

"The old and young men of Mars are exerting their strength. Take down Tianjing! Cast your votes and cheer for the rise of Vulcan!" Huo Nan raised his arms and shouted. He wasn't interested in commentating on other people's matches. This one was the ultimate showdown he had been looking forward to for a long time.

The first vanguard battle begins. As expected, Cheng Konghai of Tianjing Mecha Arts Academy takes the stage first.

However, Mars's vanguard player surprised everyone. It was the substitute, Bellastain.

They're using a big move.
