Entering the battlefield.

Tianlang V6 vs. Gray Death.

Both sides brought out their best mecha. The big screen showed the first-person perspective of the two pilots. Luo Diping was full of confidence, while Zuo Xiaotang's face was still flushed… and he seemed to be trembling…

Zhou Naiyi looked at Li Hao, feeling that this arrangement was too risky. The idea was good, but if Zuo Xiaotang couldn't overcome this state, it was very likely to leave a psychological shadow and make him never recover.

This campus one-on-one competition adopted a unified arena mode. At this distance, there wasn't much time for Gray Death. If it couldn't gain an advantage within five seconds, once the Tianlang fighter got closer, the Gray Death's performance would make it a complete prey.

Zhou Naiyi knew Zuo Xiaotang very well. He wasn't someone who was good at both long and short ranges, or who had some hidden attribute. Having experienced the S-rank competition, she knew very well that miracles couldn't be relied upon. Those who could ultimately stand at the top had to have solid and powerful strength.

She yearned to move forward. Anyone who had experienced the S-rank competition stage and witnessed the kings dominating the world wouldn't want to stop. However, the future was still uncertain. How could she become so strong?

The match began!

Two mecha warriors entered the battlefield. Ma Long was already praying, "Brother Zuo, go! Brother Zuo is mighty!"

Burn the boats and fight with one's back to the river!

That's what Ma Long thought. He had to give it his all and stimulate his potential. The moment he stepped into the arena, Zuo Xiaotang finally calmed down. The feel of the mecha still allowed him to find familiar memories.

The Tianlang fighter's engine made a huge roar, as it rushed towards the Gray Death. Zuo Xiaotang raised his heavy sniper rifle, but didn't fire hastily. For a sniper, it's not about how many shots you fire, but about the one shot that counts.

The arena suddenly fell silent. Everyone stared at the Gray Death. This little fatty might be nervous, but once he entered the arena, he really had the demeanor of an expert. Just this calmness and determination were different. Not firing gave him a chance for a desperate strike, and it also put pressure on his opponent.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, with only ten meters left. The Gray Death's sniper rifle steadily aimed at the opponent, still without moving. The closer the distance, the more disadvantageous it was for a sniper mecha, but it also put enormous psychological pressure on the attacker. At this time, as long as there was a misjudgment, it would definitely be a one-shot kill.

One second!

The atmosphere froze, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the outcome!

Boom…

????????

The entire Tianjing Arena erupted in a huge uproar. Everyone felt as if their eyes were blind. What the hell was this?

In the arena, the Gray Death didn't fire a single shot and was directly pounced on and killed by the Tianlang fighter. What the hell was that?

"How the hell did this kind of person get into the school team? How did he get into Tianjing Mech Academy? What kind of psychological quality is this!"

"Damn, I thought it was a god descending, waiting to be proven wrong, but my titanium alloy dog eyes have been blinded. I've seen a ghost."

"Just kill me and give that sniper some courage. I've never seen anyone so cowardly. He's cowardly to the extreme. What can this kind of psychological quality do?"

Various taunts and discussions enveloped the arena. The situation was even worse than what they saw. Being on the Tianjing Mech Academy team was an honor. One minute on stage required a year of practice off stage. In a formal competition, everyone's details would be magnified. Standing in this position of honor required bearing the pressure and demands of honor.

Zuo Xiaotang's performance was simply an explosion on the spot.

Until the end of the match, Zuo Xiaotang's mind was still buzzing. Where am I? What am I doing?

His hands weren't shaking anymore, but his brain didn't seem to be listening to him. He was suppressing the gun, waiting for the final moment, but for some reason, his hands just wouldn't move.

After being hit, his mind went blank. When he came back to his senses, his first thought was that it was over.

It was completely over.

The situation of the second team was also very bad. Zhou Naiyi and Musashi looked at Li Hao. This was his first major decision as captain, and it ended in a disastrous defeat. Being a captain obviously wasn't just about being brave. Responsibility and judgment of the consequences were important. Otherwise, Zhou Naiyi could easily make decisions, but she couldn't because she would consider the negative effects that would result from a failure.

The benefit-to-risk ratio of this kind of decision was quite exaggerated. Many times, it wasn't proportional. And Li Hao encountered the worst possible outcome.

Sure enough, before long, everyone's focus was directly on Li Hao. This kind of decision must have been made by the captain.

"Just because he won two matches, he doesn't know who he is anymore. What the hell is this Li Hao? Is he just showing off here by relying on Musashi and Zhou Naiyi?"

"Yes, I'm already a senior and I've never heard of this person. Why is he the captain?"

"Compared to this person's lack of self-awareness, I prefer Gao Yunfeng's conservatism."

"I don't know what the principal is thinking, letting Musashi and Zhou Naiyi join the first team, plus Gao Yunfeng's experience and stability to form a trident, wouldn't that be great?"

"What is Principal Long doing? We don't have the foundation of other academies, so don't do so many fancy things. Why divide into a first team and a second team?"

"I think there's something wrong with this Li Hao. What's with the genius class? It's been disbanded for so many years. And if he was someone special, would he have waited until today?"

"How did this bastard use sweet talk to get the captain's position? I'm going to have a good talk with him later."

The whole audience booed. It wasn't a question of losing, but this kind of idiotic formation and imbecilic psychological quality, how could he be qualified to play?

Long Danni was expressionless. She didn't have so little tolerance, but Li Hao's choice was a bit problematic. She actually didn't care about the details, only the results. From the current point of view, she was somewhat disappointed, but she wasn't in a hurry. The competition still had to continue. There was still a team battle opportunity. The problem was, it wasn't just about winning, but how to regain the students' support. You couldn't underestimate people's hearts. Not just anyone could be the captain.

Lu Ying and Lu Lingxiao and a few other girls were also very anxious. Although they wouldn't be disdainful, for girls, men could have anything, but they couldn't be cowardly. It was super damaging to fail at a critical moment. Zuo Xiaopang already had no looks, so ability was his only chance.

It could be clearly seen in the eyes of most girls that Zuo Xiaopang was no longer considered a man in their eyes.

And among the extreme girls, Zuo Xiaopang probably wasn't even considered a person. What choice of spouse? This battle was simply a social death.

Without ability, the bigger the stage, the more like a guillotine. Zuo Xiaotang's personality was the kind that needed to rely on others to assist him. Li Hao had to let him come up to take charge, which was a bit hasty.

Damn it, what to do? It was clear that the second team was still leading, but why did it feel like the second team was finished?

"Ma Long, don't worry, I think Li Hao definitely has a plan," Tan Ziyuan suddenly said. "Since he chose it, he must have the courage to bear it. Watch the team battle."

Ma Long glanced at A Youyou. This girl had been very quiet and focused, but hadn't said anything. On the other hand, Tan Ziyuan seemed to trust Brother Hao very much. With Teacher Ma's experience, a girl who was still willing to stand by him at this time had quite a good impression of him.

"Brother Hao definitely has a plan. Everyone don't worry." Ma Long still felt that he had to salvage Li Hao's reputation.

A Youyou smiled slightly, "Don't worry, a captain must dare to use people."

The big screen showed the second team. The atmosphere was heavy, but the captain still seemed very relaxed.

The atmosphere on the first team's side improved. Gao Yunfei heavily patted Luo Diping on the shoulder, "Well done! That last feint suppressed the opponent so much that he didn't even have the courage to fire!"

"Hehe, Captain, if we win the team battle, we'll win!"

"We have to be serious in the team battle. Show our level. I'll still deal with Musashi. The others follow the tactics. Sarkozy stalls Zhou Naiyi. Don't fight head-on. Defeat them one by one. Our team's combat power crushes them. Anna, as Tianjing Mech Academy's number one sniper, give them a lesson!"

Okay~~~~~~

The first team's momentum was like a rainbow, but anyone who had watched the match knew that a 2-point lead didn't mean anything. Morale was very important. A careless mistake could turn it into a comeback from 2 points down, which would be the most damaging to morale.

It's okay to mess around casually when playing around normally, but in such an important campus competition, Li Hao's performance was actually more disappointing than Zuo Xiaotang's. The captain was the soul of a team. How could they continue if the captain was so reckless?

The others didn't speak. It was actually okay, but it was inevitable that their emotions couldn't be high. Li Hao pulled Zuo Xiaotang aside alone. Zuo Xiaotang couldn't be described as being dejected anymore. It was okay for him to leave the team. In fact, he didn't want to participate in the first place, but he didn't expect to cause so much trouble for everyone.

"Brother Hao,…I…"

Li Hao patted Zuo Xiaotang, "Zuo Xiaopang, how about we make a bet?"

Zuo Xiaotang was stunned. Make a bet? At this time, he thought Li Hao would scold him, but in fact, he would feel more comfortable in his heart if he did.

Zuo Xiaotang smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry, you know my problem, I'm too nervous…"

"I know, it's not a big deal. Who hasn't been nervous before? It's just to get you used to it. Actual combat is the best method." Li Hao smiled.

People outside couldn't hear what they were saying inside, but seeing that Li Hao could still talk and laugh with the other party at this time, without the slightest bit of the captain's dignity, was simply…

"Too embarrassing, isn't it? I think so too, but it's okay, we've already hit rock bottom. The two of us are probably about to be scolded to death, so there's nothing to lose anymore. Although I'm not very willing, I've decided to make a bet with you. Are you willing to bet with me?" Then Li Hao whispered something in Zuo Xiaotang's ear.

Zuo Xiaotang, who had just been listless, widened his eyes, "Really???"

"Who are you looking down on? Since I was little, except for not paying when treating people, I've never broken my word!" Li Hao was a little embarrassed.

Zuo Xiaotang was too lazy to pay attention and raised three fingers, "One thing is one thing. We've agreed. If you go back on your word, I'll fight you… I won't talk to you for a week."

"Okay, okay, you're ruthless, okay? I suddenly don't want to do it anymore."

"No, we've agreed, you're not allowed to go back on your word!" Zuo Xiaotang firmly grasped Li Hao's hand, his veins bulging and his eyes almost popping out.

Everyone was confused. This second team was really amazing. What kind of freaks were these people?

The break time ended, and the team battle that would determine the outcome began.
