Skeleton Elf
Chapter 304 Riding on the Tiger's Coattails
The onlookers chatted and laughed, treating it as an appetizer. The main events were the rematch between Musashi and Galina, and the showdown between Cheng Konghai and Klein.
"Zuo-ge, not bad. The other guy is just an experience piñata. Don't worry about winning or losing." Ma Long let Zuo Xiaotang sit down and massaged his shoulders.
Zuo Xiaotang's fighting style was a bit sneaky, but that's just how he was. Everyone wanted to learn Musashi's bravery, but they couldn't. Zuo Xiaotang couldn't, and neither could he. They could only find their own highlights within their own styles.
"I don't think I can beat him." He always felt awkward during PvP.
"We're here to learn, so don't feel pressured. Barritt is a Martian champion marksman. Sparring with him will definitely boost your experience. You just lack combat experience. You'll get used to it as you fight. I was so nervous when I gave my first speech as class monitor!" Zhou Nayi comforted him. Some people were natural performers, the more people, the more excited they got, while others couldn't let go in formal situations.
Sheng Man nudged Lu Lingxiao, who blushed slightly. "Zuo Xiaotang, if you win, I... I'll treat you to dinner."
"Huh?" Zuo Xiaotang was stunned, instantly snapping out of his dejected mood. "What do you want to eat?"
"Anything you want!" Lu Lingxiao said. "Hmph, that guy is skilled, but his character is terrible, much worse than yours."
"I'll try my best!" Zuo Xiaotang actually felt he had a chance in the mech battle. He had overcomplicated things. He had used (gun technique "plus hover drift," but he had overlooked that the Gray Death's secondary reaction was slower than Fierce Fire's. It was even slower after doing complicated movements, while his opponent's continuous shots were indeed fast, accurate, and ruthless.)
If he had another chance, he felt he still had a chance.
A line was drawn in the center of the training field, dividing it in two. This was a standard duel, testing marksmanship. The first to hit the opponent five times won.
Barritt was expressionless, determined to save face. Although those guys hadn't said it outright, he really wasn't happy himself.
The two entered the arena. Zuo Xiaotang was quick to arrive and quick to leave. He was over his sadness in a moment. He had to work hard and not let everyone down.
As he passed Anlita, Anlita suddenly smiled charmingly. "Little fatty, good luck. I'm rooting for you."
Zuo Xiaotang was stunned for a full two seconds. He really had no experience being flirted with by a beautiful woman. He nodded and thanked her, then entered the arena in a daze.
A little fatty he could easily manipulate. Anlita licked her lips, suddenly feeling a bit of an impulse to stir up trouble. Would that anger that person? The thought was stimulating...
The two entered the arena. Zuo Xiaotang immediately ran to the back of his half of the field. He couldn't help it, he hadn't awakened his Red Eyes) yet, so he could only create distance to minimize the interference of his opponent's mental skills. Otherwise, if he was hit with a mental blast, he'd be done for.
Seeing Zuo Xiaotang's actions, the audience burst into laughter again, discussing animatedly.
"A bunch of idiots. When this little fatty awakens, he'll beat them all to a pulp," Alz said dismissively. Tianxing was very familiar with Tianjing. At first, Alz didn't think much of this little fatty, but through constant sparring, he realized that this guy would occasionally pull off unexpected super moves, yet he couldn't even sense it himself. If there was a weakness, it was obvious: not enough desire to win, too timid.
"Some people may never awaken in their entire lives."
"No matter how talented you are, it's useless if you can't use it," Tita said seriously. "Li Hao really needs to focus on the key point. This fatty doesn't need technique, he needs courage and determination!"
The others immediately shut up. The captain had been using someone as a negative example for criticism from time to time recently, and everyone was used to it.
But this time, Tita was genuinely concerned. They had to fight in the S-level competition, and they couldn't last without awakening. Adjusting the team members' condition was also the captain's responsibility. She glanced at the door, but Li Hao was nowhere to be seen.
Could he be on a date with A Youyou?
Those two, really!
Seeing Tita gritting her teeth, Alz and the others consciously distanced themselves from the captain, afraid of becoming the little fish caught in the crossfire.
"Vice-Chairman, everything is ready, we can start," Ariel said to Anlita.
Anlita, as the person in charge of the host team, naturally served as the referee. "Begin."
Barritt and Zuo Xiaotang both chose the entry-level "Beretta 155r." As soon as the match started, the two opened fire at the same time. Barritt didn't move at all, shooting fiercely at Zuo Xiaotang, while dodging Zuo Xiaotang's attack with a left sway. The kid was aiming for the chest, too softhearted. Zuo Xiaotang ducked his head to avoid the attack and immediately rolled on the ground, showing that he had done a lot of rolling in the past.
Although the distance was far, Barritt's mental blast still struck, slightly affecting Zuo Xiaotang. But this time, Zuo Xiaotang had learned his lesson. After rolling, he immediately did a reverse roll, dodging the attack while jumping up, throwing the Beretta in his hand directly.
Barritt was shocked, and he dove to the ground, barely dodging. At this time, Zuo Xiaotang aimed at Barritt's landing point again, bang bang bang bang...
Matrix Burst.
Ahhh.
The one who screamed wasn't Barritt. While diving to the ground, Barritt also lunged forward quickly, never stopping, making agile, large-scale dodges, attracting everyone's attention, but his hands were empty, the gun in his hand floating in the air, firing wildly at Zuo Xiaotang. Zuo Xiaotang didn't expect this at all. His attention was all on Barritt, and he never thought that Barritt had the ability to control objects, and could still maintain sufficient accuracy. This move was really a good ability for a sneak attack.
This also meant that he could also make this kind of control with k23 fully augmented weapons. This move revealed his trump card.
Barritt was also very disgusted with his opponent's sneakiness. He didn't want to expose it, he just wanted to use mental interference, who knew that this little fatty would shamelessly run to the wall.
Not satisfied with five shots, the Beretta pistol flew over directly, and there was another burst of close-range shooting at Zuo Xiaotang. The rubber bullets hit the body with severe pain, and Zuo Xiaotang rolled on the ground holding his head.
Until the game was stopped by Anlita, Ma Long and others had angrily rushed towards Barritt, but were stopped. The furious Cheng Konghai was also blocked by Klein, Klein did not fight hard, just entangled Cheng Konghai, and was eventually pulled away by everyone.
"Barritt, what are you doing!" Romero said angrily, taking the initiative.
"Report, Captain, my ability control is not very good, I just lost control, I'm really sorry." Barritt apologized quickly, but there was no apology on his face.
"Oh, so that's how it is. Friends from Tianjing, my team member's level is too poor, he can't control his ability well in the Red Eyes state, and he's too embarrassed to bully people with Burning Will, I apologize for him." Romero said with a smile, with no apology on his face at all.
Zhou Nayi took a deep breath, "Captain Romero, that's too much!"
"See, you still don't accept it when I say you're pretentious. It's fine if your level is poor, but you can't even take a joke, or go back, I feel like you're really not suitable for here."
Romero said, causing a burst of laughter around him. Others would only stand on the side of the strong.
"Being blind is reasonable!" Sheng Man said suddenly.
Suddenly the atmosphere around them turned cold. No one dared to mention this matter in front of Romero. Romero's one eye stared at Sheng Man. Ma Long quickly pulled Sheng Man behind him. Sheng Man shook off Ma Long and raised her head. "What are you looking at, I'm talking about you, what, can't you take a joke, then you're really not suitable to stay here."
"Little girl, there is a price to pay for talking nonsense." Romero said coldly.
"Tch, what are you pretending for, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, if you have the ability, go find Li Hao, do you think he won't settle the score with you when he comes back!" Sheng Man retorted without any politeness. She wasn't sure if Li Hao could handle Romero, but she couldn't care less at this time.
Sheng Man was also gambling, she was betting that Romero would not attack non-combat personnel like her.
Romero's expression stiffened, and he chuckled dryly a few times, "He can't protect you for the rest of your lives."
Everyone was stunned, he could tolerate this?
"Staff, do your job well, please do not participate in matters between players, Galina, it's your turn, this time you have to seriously learn from Musashi." Fan Leivitt said. As the absolute king of the previous S-level competition, he was really too low-key. In this place, he should be the rule maker.
Zuo Xiaotang was beaten until his body was red and swollen, looking very embarrassed.
At this time, everyone knew that Fan Leivitt and Romero had joined forces to suppress Tianjing Mech Martial. At this time, neither Ophi nor Tita had any room to speak. These two were one level higher than them in terms of qualifications and status, and anyone who wanted to go against them would have to weigh it carefully.
Moreover, Hailong's actions also explained some problems. Once there was a big commotion, the Wolf King would definitely be on the side of the Martians. This exchange meeting, Earth was very weak.
Ophi was a little worried. Fan Leivitt and Romero were obviously cooking the rice before Li Hao came back. She was afraid that Tianjing would be overwhelmed. She couldn't figure out why Fan Leivitt was so targeting Tianjing Mech Martial. He shouldn't be listening to Silian so much now.
If Chao Qinglong was there, it would be balanced. This was probably why Silian didn't look for North Carolina. If the main force of the Hunters was there, plus Chao Qinglong, the atmosphere would be different. Tianjing had to get through this on their own, turn it over, and Tianjing Mech Martial might be transformed.
Galina and Musashi had entered the EMP combat system. This was the best situation Zhou Nayi had managed to get for him. If it was a direct pilot duel, as long as Galina used Heart Stream Martial Arts, Musashi would not be able to resist.
Galina chose Whirlwind Zero, and Musashi chose Night Saber!
When Night Saber came out, the eyes of many people present changed, because there was only one player in the entire S-level competition who used the Night Fighter, and made this unpopular fighter popular overnight. It was also the main model for USE military in promoting extraordinary mechs.
In terms of performance, the two fighters were similar, and their characteristics were also relatively distinct. From the comparison of past big data, Whirlwind Zero was balanced and perfect, known as the most perfect medium-sized machine, and was also a masterpiece of NUP, while Night Saber was the most individual medium-sized machine in USE, with average balance, but with a strong ancient martial arts personality.
The problem was, Musashi was not Li Mo.
