Skeleton Elf
Chapter 474 A Glimmer of Hope
Inside and outside the arena, all the spectators were about to be conquered by Silian and his Sea Dragon. At this moment, numerous pieces of information about Silian topped the trending searches. A perfect man: handsome, wealthy, a great warrior, and a scientist, coupled with that handsome face, instantly conquered countless young women.
In the contestant area, everyone was also intimidated by this powerful force. The Davari Clan, honestly, Maxis Basta and Asashoryu really didn't realize that he was so strong back then, but Davari didn't like to show off and rarely took action. They only knew he was strong, but they didn't know he was this strong. The only thing that hadn't changed was his years-long stutter.
Anlita, Klein, Davari, the three great generals under the Sun God, any one of them could single-handedly challenge other teams.
The other Big Dipper Seven Stars, Leica and the others, were all dumbfounded. Tita was even more confused. What was this? How could he be so powerful?
She thought that if she worked hard and spent some time, she could catch up, but now she... wanted to change her major. Perhaps the Starship Department was more suitable for her. This was too hopeless. How could she catch up?
And there were so many of them?
In literature, there is no first, in martial arts, no second. This suppression was too strong, not leaving any chance.
"Li Hao from your team is out of the running. It's a pity, he's handsome, can fight, and has the temperament of a commander. The future belongs to Silian," Tita said with emotion. "I really need to seriously consider whether to change my major next year."
"There's nothing strange about this, after all, it's the bloodline of Melaphis." While saying this, Su Yu deliberately glanced at Ayouyou to see if she had any reaction. She couldn't have been completely unaware of that rumor.
Ayouyou just smiled slightly. "This situation should be within Senior's plan. I think he should be prepared."
Tita couldn't help but curl her lips. She couldn't stand Ayouyou's smugness since she was a child. "I have that kind of preparation too, it's called lying flat."
"Sister Tita, be more mature," Ayouyou teased with a wink. "You're not the same as him."
"Oh dear, this little brat, hmph, I want to see how he turns this around!" From Tita's rational and professional perspective, it was over. Of course, she also felt a little sorry for a runner-up, even if it was a very hard-won runner-up. In the eyes of the Dalivon family, it was worthless, especially with a brilliant protagonist like Silian standing there. It was really... difficult for Ayouyou to fight back.
Not only Tita thought this way, but the Apocalypse members had similar thoughts. The era when Silian ruled them was back, even stronger and more terrifying than before. Now that Nangong Yuhang's restraint was gone, his strength was even more prominent.
"We'll all have to live by Silian's mood from now on," Gangtai Saibutan said with a wry smile.
"It's not over yet!" Yintai Dumeira had always disliked Silian's aristocratic ways to the core. "On the contrary, I think the real beginning is now."
"Times have changed. The resources and team of Sea Dragon will make Sea Dragon stronger and stronger, while there are too many things restricting Tianjing Mech Martial. Unless Brother Li changes teams, but with his personality, that's probably impossible."
The faces of the Martian contestants were also not very good. They still liked the Warring States period. The competition between Earth and the Moon was the space for their Mars to continuously grow stronger. This was also the core of Mars' growth in the cracks. Now that the Moon was about to unify the world, Mars' space for growth would be gone. Even if Earth gave up competing with the Moon, they would turn around and suppress them. The overall situation was like this, and it was the same in the major Martian military academies. The tri-partite situation had always been the driving force for Mars' continuous improvement, and what Silian had always wanted to do was to establish absolute hegemony and domination. In all aspects, he was forming a full-range dimensionality reduction strike on his peers.
"Brother Li, you have to hold on!"
"Hold on? How to hold on?"
"I feel like Asashoryu and the others have to form a team to have a chance."
"Otherwise, let's just form a team with Titan in the future."
Asashoryu, Maxis Basta, and their lips also had a bit of bitterness. As a Lunar, Maxis wasn't much better off. Without Silian, it was undoubtedly "free" for a powerhouse like him. With the sudden emergence of Silian, there would probably only be one voice in the Lunar military academy world in the future. What was more difficult to deal with was that Silian wasn't Fan Leivitt. Silian's city, and the resources he had mastered, were simply not comparable to them.
"Theoretically, there's still a bit of a chance," Basta said with a wry smile. He also knew Silian, but including him, they all felt that even if Silian came back, he wouldn't be as sharp as before, and at the same time, the times were different. It wouldn't be so easy for him to form a great trend. It seemed that they had thought too simply. They weren't thinking about the problem on the same level from the beginning.
Silian's comeback wasn't in a hurry. He was building momentum in other aspects, and waited until a key point of a three-peat championship. When the time, place, and people, and luck were all together, he came here.
Asashoryu shrugged helplessly and glanced at everyone. "I'll seriously consider joining Tianjing Mech Martial next year."
Basta and Maxis shook their heads with bitter smiles. They also knew that Asashoryu was just joking. North Carolina wouldn't agree. He really couldn't do it at his level. It wasn't that the relationship was bad, but after all, this wasn't the past. If that really happened, Silian would really be glorious.
In Tianjing Mech Martial's war room, Zhou Naiyi had recovered slightly after a period of rest, but Zhou Naiyi's emotions also fell to the bottom. Before the match, Li Hao had already pointed out the key to bullet jumping, but in the end, it fell short. She knew how important this round was. Even a draw was redemption. The current Tianjing Mech Martial wasn't standing on the edge of a cliff, but had already fallen down, with only one hand still grabbing the edge of the cliff.
"I'm sorry." Finally, Zhou Naiyi's eyes turned red. She couldn't bear it anymore. This was only her second S-match. She had seen how much everyone had put in along the way. As a mech warrior, she stood on the final stage she had dreamed of. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but she lost the key round.
Although Tan Ziyuan and Sheng Man's eyes were red, they still stubbornly held back their tears, while Lu Lingxiao couldn't hold back. Big teardrops fell down, but she also covered her mouth, not wanting to make a sound.
Cheng Konghai was seriously injured, and it was difficult for him to even speak. He was also silent at this time. He also hated himself for not being able to defeat Klein. Musashi was also silent. Perhaps he should have had the best chance, but Li Xiangshan was more determined and prepared more fully than him. As for Zuo Xiaotang, he was still in a daze. Although the conflict of the second personality had ended, he still had to recover.
The atmosphere in Tianjing Mech Martial's war room fell to freezing point. Suddenly, a voice rang out, "Hey, hey, what are you all doing? The match isn't over yet, our captain hasn't gone up yet. A theoretical chance is still a chance. Let's take it down first!" Huo Ying said loudly. He had always been the best at setting the atmosphere, and it really wasn't an act.
Everyone looked at Huo Ying. Huo Ying looked strange. "What's wrong with you? Isn't this how we've come all the way? As long as we haven't lost, we have to keep fighting!"
"But... it's already impossible..." Lu Lingxiao said sobbing.
"What do you mean impossible? If it's impossible, the referee would have announced the end of the match. If it hasn't ended, we have to fight!" Huo Ying thumped his chest. "This is such a glorious battlefield. Being able to stand on such a battlefield is the desire of countless people. What's there to be depressed about!"
He was so, so eager to participate. What was more tragic than failure was watching the battlefield of his dreams right in front of him, but not being able to participate. But he didn't give up, and he didn't regret it. He did everything he could do, and he was willing to accept any result.
"Where's Brother Hao?" Huo Ying asked.
"He seems to have gone to the bathroom."
……
Usually, going to the bathroom at this time meant he was nervous. Li Hao had been too calm all the way, which was the source of everyone's confidence. But he was nervous in the face of this situation. In fact, the greatest pressure was on him. Entering the S-match, except for the weaker opponent in the first match, he had to risk his life in every subsequent match, struggling to win. Others only had to consider one match, but he had to bear the whole match.
Li Hao walked back. As soon as he entered the door, everyone's eyes were fixed on him. Li Hao was startled and looked at his hand. "Oops, I forgot to wash my hands."
Saying that, he was about to turn back, and then turned back. "Isn't it funny? You're not humorous enough. What's wrong with First Sister? Are you bullying the class monitor!"
"How could we? Everyone is a little depressed, Brother Hao, tell them how to win the championship," Huo Ying asked directly. He didn't have so many twists and turns. The championship was so close at hand. No one would believe it if they said they didn't want it.
"Take down Silian, and then win the team battle. Either we're the champions, or we're not. We have a fifty-fifty chance either way," Li Hao said with a smile.
Everyone was dumbfounded. "Cough cough, Brother Hao, even so, we only have three points. We draw with Sea Dragon, and then we have to have a tiebreaker. The tiebreaker is a random draw for both sides..." Ma Long smiled bitterly. He was useless at all. In this level of team battle, he wasn't enough to fill the gaps between their teeth. He had deeply felt the deep waters of mechs. He would honestly stay in his starship major and never move.
"Ah, really? I remember there are bonus points in the team battle. For example, if someone consecutively defeats five opponents, they can get an extra 0.5 points. Has this rule been cancelled?" Li Hao was stunned. If that was the case, it would be really difficult.
"There is this rule, it hasn't been cancelled," Tan Ziyuan said.
"Oh, you scared me. That's good. Remember not to steal kills during the team battle. I'll teach someone a lesson first," Li Hao said with a smile, then waved his hand and walked towards the battlefield, leaving everyone in the war room still digesting what he said.
"Is he serious?"
"Cough cough, Ziyuan, is there really such a rule?"
"Yes, I've seen the complete rules. It will only be activated after entering the semi-finals. No one in the history of the S-match has ever completed it," Tan Ziyuan said with a wry smile.
It felt like it wasn't any better than playing a tiebreaker...
