Chapter 1283: The Calm before the Storm
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
This was the true highly anticipated match.
Initially, Aslan’s morale was very high. Their overbearing auras were unsettling. However, Wang Zheng and Saruman Snake had gradually suppressed Aslan with their superb determination. They thrashed the so-called one dynasty, the Aslan Empire, into a pulp. This had made Aslan, who had not tasted defeat for a very long time, feel totally powerless.
Just when the nation of Aslan was in an unknown state of fear, Lin Feng stepped up. With his incomparable battle results, he safe guarded the pride of the Aslan people.
Lin Feng’s composure and confidence had awakened the confidence of the Aslan people. Yes! They were the invincible Aslan Empire!
The strongest Earth-rank warrior. This meant that Lin Feng possessed an Earth-rank five strength, or something that was close to it. Furthermore, given his experiences and his possession of the power of the major five elements, he was stronger in every aspect compared to Wang Zheng. Even if Wang Zheng was the miracle man, what could his X standing be? Top one hundred? Or top fifty?
These and the top ten had very decisive differences. Furthermore, everyone knew that one could be not on the list, but those who were in the top ten were all masters with experience in war zones.
Thus, two of the strongest warriors of the younger generation facing off in this battlefield was a blessed thing for all audiences. It might be the same for both of them too.
Wang Zheng was smiling as well. He had been watching the highlights of Lin Feng’s X Battle Standings intensely. Truly impressive. He knew very well that one-to-one was a totally different concept from one-to-a thousand. Obviously, Lin Feng was more experienced in battling than him. This was truly the ace that the Aslan Empire had been nurturing. Perhaps Aslan previously had no intention of exposing this so early so as to protect Lin Feng... As he was already so excellent at such a young age, he would definitely become an eyesore to many of the countries.
However, the pressure that Wang Zheng had given Aslan was too great. They needed to fight back.
After this revelation, the situation changed once again. The initial one-sided affair in favour of Wang Zheng had now instantly swung back to Lin Feng. This could not be helped because Bolet and the rest were professionals. As such, they understood what X9 meant. The key was that they knew very well how scary this so-called Grim Reaper was. No wonder they could not find any information about this person no matter how hard they tried. They had suspected that he was a secret weapon that some country had been nurturing. But they did not expect it to be Aslan.
Arbiter was not the only country in this world that valued the practical experience of the talents. So was Aslan. However, compared to Arbiter’s showy display of the talents’ abilities, Aslan had played the royalty card instead – not showing signs and being pretentious at the very least.
Both of them were now at the stage of mech selection. At their current state, it was impossible to gain any advantage by targeting each other. For them, all they needed to do was bring out their best rhythm and make their opponent give chase.
It was no surprise that Lin Feng chose the Knight of Holy Light. The whole world had to admit that Aslan’s Holy Light series would definitely start a round of arms reform and competition. They had also prepared for a long time before making a big bang on the SIG stage. In terms of the promotion of the mech, they had already won the world over.
What would Wang Zheng’s choice be?
Everyone was guessing. Atlantis’ Rune Warrior? Wang Zheng was really great with the Rune Warrior, eliminating the prince of Atlantis. It was really smashing. Everyone was eager to see the marvellous Rune Warrior once again.
Wang Zheng did not hesitate with his mech selection at all. The Knight of Holy Light!
In terms of confrontation and performance, especially when used to target the battling methods of the opponent, the Knight of Holy Light was the best option.
Both of them were very casual when making their choices of mech, with smiles on their faces. This was a matter concerning two federations, a decisive battle that had captured the attention of countless people. Yet they were both very relaxed.
“This smile really makes you embarrassed. If I was in such an atmosphere, my calf and stomach would be cramping right now!”
“That’s why you are destined to be a commentator only!”
“It’s obvious that both of them are very confident in this match. Initially, I was more inclined towards Wang Zheng. After all, he has more experience. Those experiences gained from recovering from seemingly impossible situations were usually fatal. But now, it seems that Lin Feng has even more experience. From actual battle, they might be equal, but from personal ability perspective, Lin Feng has the absolute advantage. Rumor has it that he is an expert in all the powers of the major five elements, a true all-rounded warrior. On the other hand, Wang Zheng, to date, seems to be an expert only in the minor five elements. Honestly, I can’t think of how he could stand any chance at all.”
“You seem to be saying this before every single match. But every single time, you have been slapped in the face by Wang Zheng. Now tell me, how many bowls of sh*t have you owed now?!”
“Geez, since when am I the one who goes back on a bet? Didn’t we say that we would settle the score at the end of the finals? If he wins this time, I’ll change my name to Brother Eat Sh*t. If he loses, all bets are off.”
“Haha. Great. I do have millions of witnesses!”
The commentators from all the countries were using their own ways to tease, to wait. Both Wang Zheng and Lin Feng had entered their mecha and were making adjustments.
The Great Demon King versus the Grim Reaper. What kind of sparks would two rather big people spark?
Marshall did not know, but he was very nervous. “Everyone, I want your full alert!”
“Yes, General!”
“Yes, General!”
After the previous lessons, they knew better too. These two were the most frightening warriors yet. Their crossfire would probably be of biblical proportions.
In the end, everyone inside and outside the arena was very nervous. The two contestants were the most relaxed state however.
This was not a pretense. Both Lin Feng and Wang Zheng were really relaxed.
Huiyin and Aina were holding hands. The young Huiyin could feel the perspiration on her sister’s hand. She was nervous.
This was because even Aina did not know that Lin Feng was this strong. Was this the basis of why Kashawen was so confident? Why had she applied so many tricks despite knowing that Lin Feng was so strong?
Kashawen could feel Aina’s gaze on her. As if reading the doubts in her eyes, she said, “Never let your opponent guess your cards.”
Kashawen was using this SIG to teach Aina a lesson. If Wang Zheng could beat Lin Feng, then her years as prime minister would have been wasted.
If he did win... she would not know how to stop it anymore.
There was a limit to most things. She was not omnipotent. If the opponent held all the aces, she could not overturn fortune too.
Except she would never allow this to happen.
Truthfully, both Aina and Huiyin were at a loss as to who they should cheer for. Of course, deep down inside, they knew.
As for Donger and the rest, they were naturally on Lin Feng’s side. The continuous defeats had already given them cause to be worried. Thus, they could only hope that Lin Feng would thrash Wang Zheng heartily. Then overwhelmingly eliminate them in the team battle. However, according to her brother, Lin Feng was invincible in this era. Unless a Heaven-rank master appeared, no one could defeat him.
Besides, as soon as a person reached the peak of Earth-rank, even with a Heaven-rank’s complete suppression, they could only fight till the death. Hence, Lin Feng was already in an invincible position.
