Chapter 287: Winning on the Brink
Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas
The mech hung mid-space. Atos was getting ready to deliver the fatal blow. He looked mockingly at Zhang Shan, as if he was in a game of catch. He was not going to get away this time around.
The mech boomed. The Avalanche mech cut through space like a ray of light, charging at Zhang Shan, launching a full blow to take Zhang Shan out in a single attack.
Zhang Shan's energy shield was ready. High speed attacks could not destroy his energy shield. This was the one thing that Zhang Shan was able to do.
In a match like this, using the energy shield would cause half the energy of the mech to deplete.
The high-speed Avalanche suddenly pulled up a few meters in front of Zhang Shan, laser cannons aimed at him.
Everyone in the arena held their breaths. They all thought that Atos would use his beam saber to cut Zhang Shan to death; they didn't expect Atos to remain so calm at this juncture.
Laser cannon. The Avalanche mech was not so good at long range firing. The cannons were powerful but had slow firing speeds. Nobody had expected Atos to turn his greatest weakness into his greatest strength. The abrupt stop caught everyone by surprise, but while charging at Zhang Shan, the laser cannons had accumulated energy. The beam sabers were just a decoy.
"Go to hell, dumbass!"
Energy shields were of no use in such close range firing. It was a much wiser option than the beam saber.
With energy shields on, and with so little reaction time given, Zhang Shan's mech couldn't do a thing before the laser fired.
But... Zhang Shan's mech had disappeared.
Just as the laser cannon fired into the vacuum.
Zhang Shan appeared behind Atos. "You're too stupid for this!"
Beam saber attack!
Boom...
The Avalanche mech imploded.
Roar... Zhang Shan roared wildly. This was his first meaningful victory!
He was drenched in sweat from excitement. He had finally experienced the feeling Wang Zheng so often described. The more crucial things became, the more excited he felt, and the calmer the mind got. The curious mix of excitement and calmness had reached a level beyond the soul's prehension.
His mind could suddenly work, and in that most crucial moment, even his abilities improved and allowed him to displace for a second time.
A key breakthrough.
He had finally gotten a taste of this feeling of victory.
Winning by 0.1 seconds!
If he was any slower, Zhang Shan would most certainly have been blown to bits, but that was just the essence of it!
Only the Barton mech remained in the air.
"Winner: Zhang Shan."
Su Yan gave a look of surprise. Two displacements in a short span of time. Zhang Shan had again shown improvement. Even though it was just one time more than before, it was definitely a huge leap.
In terms of potential, they'd gone one level up. Given the issue with Wang Zheng, he thought that the Earthlings would lose their will to fight, but instead, their potential was unleashed.
Regardless of selection results, Zhang Shan was bound to enter the list of key candidates the army was to nurture.
Zhang Shan stepped out of the mech hanger into a round of rapturous applause and cheers!
He was brought into the selection by Wang Zheng and was doubted by many. It had been extremely stressful, but after this match, there shouldn't be anyone who'd doubt him anymore.
Yuan Ye gave Zhang Shan two hard punches on his shoulder. "wWow, dude! You're the second Wang Zheng, eh! Ares College is really ing through this time, eh!"
"Great fight, Zhang Shan!" Meng Tian and Zhang Runan were truly happy for him. It was a calm and swift fight, luring the enemy in and taking him out in a single blow. Classic.
"Haha, I remembered Wang Zheng's secret technique at the very last minute. Tsk tsk, real useful. It was enough to beat up trash like Atos."
Atos charged out at him like a mad dog from the other simulation pod. "That didn't count! Again!"
But Masasi and friends held him back.
If he continued to behave like that, he would embarrass everybody.
Atos was capable, but he had gotten ahead of himself. Milo took a quick glance at Achilles and saw the disappointment in his eyes.
She knew that he had given up on Atos. A person like that did not deserve to remain by his side.
Zhang Shan had put up an exciting fight, showing everyone that even without Wang Zheng, Earth was not to be trifled with.
Wang Zheng, on the other hand, was getting ready to face his final opponent: Mechanic.
Why the name "Mechanic"?
That was because, on Manalasuo, the best pilot was known as Mechanic, and so that person would use that as his ID. Using the ID without any capabilities would only invite sneering and mockery, but having real capabilities meant suppressing the opponent.
Invitation to the final match.
Mechanic was to initiate and pick the battle map... New York Defense Battle.
A classic city battle scene.
What was that? This terrain was undoubtedly most suited for the Wind God.
This Mechanic's arrogance was way off the charts.
Titus smiled, relaxed, waiting for his opponent to arrive.
What surprised him most was how a mon match like that had managed to attract more than 30 million viewers. What a joke.
Having 10 million viewers was insane. To think so many people would tune in to this.
And so, he was excited!
From the fact that he dared to use the ID "Mechanic
