Chapter 1157 - Battle Declaration (Part 1)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Aragorn reached out his right hand and swept through the people, stopping at Wang Zheng. He pointed slightly, then turned towards Lin Feng to point at him, and lastly at Dina Atlas before his right hand changed into a thumbs down!

Captain Aragorn from Arbiter had declared challenges of battle against his chosen three opponents!

There was not only one egotistical Wang Zheng in the world.

Wang Zheng chuckled, and so did Lin Feng. Atlas, on the other hand, showed no change, but his gaze evidently had changed. To the Atlanteans, who did not like to fight, there seemed to be an additional meaning to the SIG.

Arbiter’s prestige had been beaten down badly. The SIG participants were all talking about Arbiter’s “downfall,” and this was something Aragorn absolutely could not tolerate right now. A battle declaration of such form was not Aragorn’s style, but Aragorn was, after all, an elite groomed by the Warrior Soul College, so he still knew such such small tactics to generate interest.

Zhang Shan touched his nose. “This Aragorn’s madness is comparable to yours.”

Wang Zheng slightly smiled. “Is this a compliment?”

“This fellow actually has a time ability, and in addition, the same ability as Di Maria. No, his level is certainly higher than Di Maria’s – that’s how he could use his ability and destroy him.” Zhang Shan pouted.

These words of Zhang Shan had abruptly reminded Wang Zheng, and his complexion changed minorly. The expressions of Achilles and the people alike changed as well.

Zhang Shan, seeing the others’ expressions, asked, “Did I say something wrong?”

Achilles bitterly smiled. “I really don’t know what to say about you. Maybe you might have guessed it correctly. Even if it were the same element, different execution techniques were used. How could it be possible to learn after seeing it?”

“Using his ability to damage him... Copying?” Zhang Shan blanked out. What crazy thing was this?

Arbiter’s Warrior Soul College easily defeated the Imperial Glory battle team without a question. Arbiter’s no. 1 battle team’s abilities were likewise shocking.

The emotions of the Aslan people were not really that bad as, after all, the Imperial Glory battle team could only be considered last amongst the current participating Aslan teams; it was just that they had lost slightly terribly. However, the Aslan people were not people who did not have the slightest depth. They held onto their anger. Arbiter’s Soulless battle team taking the lead towards the top eight was within expectations.

What the generals focused on was the accomplishments of the mecha and the battle skills, especially the elite warriors’ understanding of battle tactics. The highest skill level of each country’s military schools could be observed from their abilities. Of course, having determined the victory and defeat, there would definitely be teasing amongst them.

In the afternoon, the second round of the top eight was Lear’s Dynasty battle team against Gemini’s Gravity battle team.

Lear was not exactly happy that Aragorn had completely disregarded him. This was how Lear was, how to put it, he was an extremely contradictory person. He did not really like others specially paying him attention, as he would be attacked on all sides, but he also did not like others not paying attention to him. Aragorn had pointed out three people, but none of them was him. Was he seen as lowly?

This slightly provoked Lear’s ego.

It was just that no one cared about his ego. The Dynasty battle team’s skill level was not bad; however, reaching SIG’s top sixteen, which team’s skill level was low? The reason why they could enter was not because of Lear, but because of the fatty named Luo Fei.

Although that fellow was not the captain, he did hold the skill level of a captain. Ever since the battle with the Asura battle team, Fatty’s reputation had increased tremendously, and he had finally appeared again to face against Gemini’s Gravity battle team.

Fatty’s complexion was a bit pale, but this was the top eight. Luo Fei, as the core strength, definitely had to enter battle as long as he had the fighting strength.

Although his complexion did not look good, Luo Fei’s situation was not that terrible. He had gotten a matter wrong, a dreadful matter.

The vital energy that his body had absorbed could not be dispelled on its own. Having eaten too aggressively, this was the price he had to pay. However, these days, Lear was helping him to absorb the leftover energy every day... Although it was strength from the same source, or more accurately per se, the same type of strength, the rank was different. Luo Fei had suppressed his opponent in a short time by eating and wolfing down, but he could not digest it, and Lear’s strength was the genuine gobbling.

Mars’ strength, which obstinately had not digested within him, was slowly absorbed away by Lear. It was at that moment that Luo Fei had suddenly recalled a matter. That year of IG, when he and Lear had been specially instructed to carry out the Kester family’s task, Lear had been thrown in and the entire base’s people were dead. The condition of how they died had been peculiarly determined as dying due to have their souls sucked out.

It was unfortunate that gobbling was Lear’s real strength instead of his. This ability had been around, apart from the present, for four to five years already?

The reason why Luo Fei had not dared to reveal his ability was because he was afraid that Lear would be unhappy. It was when Lear had expressionlessly helped him absorb the leftover strength that Luo Fei had realised that his training had been arranged by Lear, his Ares Art had been taught by Lear, and his entirety had been given to him by Lear.

How would Lear be inferior to him?

Speaking of viciousness, Lear was a person who was cruel to others and himself. The Kester family was a concentration camp for lunatics.

From this, Luo Fei understood why Lear would hide this ability all the way. Could it be because of the side effects?

Luo Fei could not understand clearly, and neither was he willing to spend the effort to think about it, but Fatty Luo’s feelings were instead incomparably relaxed. He did not like to carry responsibility. Although his shoulders were not narrow, they were full of meat. Small things were manageable, but he could not carry big matters, as he would sink into depression as time went by.

Although Fatty’s body was slightly weak, he was still in a very good state.

As the vanguard, Fatty would definitely be the first in battle. Lear sat below with still a face of serenity.

Lear was clear as to what Luo Fei’s relaxed expression meant. No one knew this fellow better than he did. His swallowing abilities had long been awakened, it was just that such an ability was too “irritating to the eyes”, and the destructive powers were not enough. Following the Ares Art, this strength became stronger and also developed side effects. These side effects were more severe than Luo Fei’s, so he would not use the ability unless it was an absolute necessity.

However, he had definitely not expected Luo Fei to actually have such a similar ability, and the extremely fortunate thing was that although Luo Fei’s eating ability could not digest, he could instead help him to slowly digest. Strength like that of Mars undoubtedly possessed the bandwidth to strengthen a person. Directly consuming it would be poisonous, but the process of opposing it with Luo Fei had drained the strength’s bandwidth a lot. When it was absorbed by him after, there would not be as much of a strong resistance.

This was an unexpected gain. Lear had no mood to sacrifice himself to save Luo Fei, it had been just to let him continue battling. He had never expected it to be reach an outcome instead.

Come to think of it, the accumulation of a moral standing had been long enough. It should be his time soon. Lear’s gaze clearly showed much more laxness.

Gemini’s Gravity battle team carried the traits of the people of Gemini. They were stable, firm, and tenacious. They rarely played any tricks. This type of team was troublesome to deal with, as the possibility of finding an opening on them was very small, but for them to be able to fight a dream-like competition was impossible. The Gemini warriors did not have much imagination, so although they represented the Milky Way Alliance’s first reassembled legion, they were not the top military power.
