Tempest of the Stellar War-Novel2

Chapter 423: Heart of Raging Fire

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Humanoid warrior-type mech. This mech of Lie Xin’s was somewhat different from the usual fire type mech. This was because it was a limited edition mech, and the right shoulder of the mech had a logo of a flame on it. It was not just for show, though; the material used to construct the mech was different from that of the usual fire type mech, it would even improve the abilities of the Lie Flame Technique

The reason why Wang Zheng had sent Lie Xin up for this round was because he was absolutely confident that she would win this battle. Worse come to worse, he would just call for a Team Leader Heavenly Battle. Since he had already called for one, he could definitely call for a second one. His injuries were a small matter, so long as his physical injuries were cured. As for those other spiritual energies or whatever that was within him, his Primordial Regression Technique had already restored him to peak condition. But of course, these doctors that treated him would not understand, especially the doctors of Aslan.

On one hand, it was to train the team, but since everyone had already come for the IG, they would want to display their strengths as far as possible. On the other hand, Wang Zheng also had his own thoughts, which was that he really wanted to understand the techniques of his teammates.

There was nothing much to hide when it came to the flame arts of the Lie family. Even though Lear and Achilles also had their own techniques, their techniques were rarely put to use during battles. Theirs was something more indirect, unlike the flame arts.

As for the training of the Primordial Regression Technique, Bonehead and Charcoal did not tell him how he could improve. Thus, he had to completely rely on his own understanding. They were also not afraid that Wang Zheng would be obsessed over their words and something would go wrong. However, it was always good to seek reference from others.

Xu Dongsheng was very cautious. At this point, no one would belittle the Solar System Federation team, especially their super boss, Wang Zheng. It was said that he was injured, so why did he have such confidence?

Snow Lee was also quite baffled. If Wang Zheng was at his peak condition, she would also not be completely sure of the outcome. Even though they would be able to restrain their abilities, who knew whether the opponent still had any hidden trump cards? But so long as Xu Dongsheng won the first round, she would be confident that they would win the second round. Then, in the circumstance where they had already attained two points, she would be entitled to call for a team battle. And under a 5v5 situation, the problem of the large disparity in skill level within the Solar System Federation team would be exposed.

Xu Dongsheng changed his mech again. It was not the Frost Gaze which he was proficient at, but the masterpiece which he had been training hard in to protect Snow Lee.

Heavy Mech – Snow Country Defender.

Humanoid tank type mech. It possessed a gigantic shield with a frost greatsword. It was the absolute pinnacle when it came to attacking and defending. Furthermore, it was currently highly valued amongst the special forces teams of the Hail Cloud Alliance.

Warrior type against a tank type. Everyone was excited to see who would dictate the tempo of things.

Lie Xin was very clear about what would happen in this kind of battle. Without saying anything else, once the battle started, the Flame Executioner immediately made use of its speed to gain the upper hand. Xu Dongsheng was indeed someone who was steady and calm. To be exact, the one he most feared was Wang Zheng. He defied common sense, but in the end he still always managed to attain victory. Someone who utilized conventional tactics, like Lie Xin, was more to his liking. Ice and fire mutually restrained each other. Perhaps this woman called Lie Xin had some deadly skill.

Anyway, his choice was a tank type mech. It was best at defense and counter-attacking.

The Flame Executioner which Lie Xin was piloting started a frantic attack. In Mars, the reason why this was called a Flame Executioner was because regardless of which opponent, when faced with this mech they would all be suffering from a pain that was similar to undergoing an execution by fire.

Just that on the battlefield of the IG, to be honest, it was not worth mentioning at all.

The flame arts of Lie Xin was operating at full strength. She was trying her best to deal ferocious blows. Even though she was a girl, the flaming blade of Lie Xin was more skillful and aggressive than Lie Guang’s. The Flame Executioner indeed transformed into a crazy fire devil, it was violently bashing the Snow Country Defender.

However... Xu Dongsheng’s defense had no loopholes. The height of the gigantic shield was about two-thirds of the mech, forming a gigantic, steel barrier. It definitely hindered the strikes of weapons. In Xu Dongsheng’s hands, the shield was used very skillfully and proficiently. It did not feel cumbersome at all.

This was a clever tactic!

The attacks and defense of Xu Dongsheng were not useless. His defense managed to obstruct the attacks, and he has also done so efficiently. In other words, this meant that he would not take excess actions.

Lie Xin was currently holding the upper hand. However, her fighting spirit and stamina would eventually deplete, but the opponent had yet to even show his own cards!

This was absolutely playing with “fire”.

“What was Wang Zheng thinking? Lie Xin lacks the ability to deal with a battle on this level.”

Lie Wuqing was a little anxious, even though it was his own family member competing. Martians were still pretty straightforward and preferred a confrontational style of battle. The strength of Lie Xin was slightly weaker than Lear and Achilles, but this could not be helped, as the flame arts was originally more suitable for a man to exhibit. It was not easy for Lie Xin to practice it unyieldingly to this stage. However, once she ran into a tyrannical opponent like Dongsheng, she would run into complications

Meng Ao and Drachmach looked at each other. “Old Lie, don’t be anxious, we have known Wang Zheng for a period of time already. He might seem like a rash youth, but don’t you realized that every step he made was intentional? He was never perturbed by the outside world.”

Drachmach suddenly said.

“From the first training of IG, this fellow has walked his own path. While other people were arguing, he was never anxious. While other people were anxious, he was instead thinking of other things. But no matter what happened in the end, we still let him become the team leader. Even at the beginning he was also being doubted by others. Even I was not too satisfied with his way of thinking. It was too childish of me. In fact, since we have arrived at this stage, even I am also not too sure who is the childish one.”

Meng Ao was full of praise for Wang Zheng. “Don’t you all think that this young fellow’s vision was much more long-term? Our gain from this IG was definitely not just our ranking.”

After all, the three generals were just bystanders, so it was easier for them to calm down. Looking back carefully at the time when they first met Wang Zheng and compared to now, a tremendous change had unknowingly occurred that even they themselves had not felt it. It seemed like it had been a very long time since they mentioned the achievements and moves of Lear and Achilles. Now they only ever talked about Wang Zheng... that he should not do this, and should have done that. But regardless of right or wrong, it was proper for Wang Zheng to be in this position.

“F*ck this, Lie Xin should not fight like this, she will not have enough stamina to last. That ice turtle is too wretched, is he even a guy?!”

Zhang Shan could not help but to complain. This was too unthinkable, that damn idiot’s defense was without any loopholes. Unless an ability like his was used, he was afraid that even those extremely fast Ability Xs might not be able to bypass it. The gigantic shield coupled with accurate judgement made the Snow Country Defender look like an icy fortress ... and this fellow still possessed a C-rank Ability X. This was practically a nightmare.

Lie Guang was also frowning. “The burning impact of the flame arts on a person with ice attribute Ability X will be limited, so if she is only thinking of accumulating a burning effect, it will be quite risky.”

Lie Guang was very clear about the formidable power of the flame arts, and Lie Xin was significantly stronger than him. But after all, a mech was not a human body, so it would not be so easy for the flame arts to permeate through. And sometimes Lie Guang also felt quite a headache about this issue. This was the sorrow of the people of the Lie family. When they started to practice the flame arts at the start, it had resulted in their Ability X being affixed with a fire attribute. However, it was also not that powerful, hence sometimes it really felt like a disadvantage. To be honest, he was pretty jealous of Zhang Shan’s ability to warp.

However, the Lie family people had no choice. If they did not practice the flame arts of the Lie family it would be considered as betraying their ancestors. No matter how weak the flame arts was, they also could not go against their family tradition. To be honest, Lie Xin really should not have practiced this as with her innate skill, she might had been even stronger if she had walked the normal path.

Wang Zheng was staring at the screen intently. However, seeing that the attacks did not seem to have any effect, he slowly closed his eyes, let the Primordial Regression Technique operate, and his mental power was slowly infiltrating through.

During this period of time at the IG, Wang Zheng had also improved a lot. The range in which his mental power could proliferate was also much larger than before, and very soon he could sense the two who were on the battlefield.

His field of vision could show the mental power of both parties. Xu Dongsheng’s power was like a pure life form which contained ice attribute energy.

As for Lie Xin, the fire energy was operating in a very systematic way. But the weird thing was that the fire energy that was contained inside Lie Xin’s body seemed to be even more powerful than what was being exerted.

The flame energy on the move was used being used for movement...?

What was exerted seemed to be only Lie Xin’s fire Ability X

Did she did not know how to use her abilities?

Wang Zheng was shocked. It seemed like the Lie family treated the flame arts as a way to upgrade their Ability X, but all it did was strengthen their bodies with their misuse...

The battle situation was very intense, but Xu Dongsheng was feeling increasingly strange. Did this person from the Solar System Federation really look down on him that much? action

The Ability X of this person was at most D-rank and could not be relied on to fight against a C-rank like him. Moreover, it was just fire energy permeating through him... just what was happening?

What was the true power of the Solar System?

Boom...

The gigantic shield suddenly made an offensive move. The immense strength jolted the Flame Executioner away.

“Lie Xin, let’s stop warming up and bring out our true strength!” Xu Dong Sheng said directly on the public channel.

Lie Xin was stunned, and only clenched her teeth. She had already used up 90% of her strength, but the opponent only thought that this was just a warmup?

It was truly an invulnerable defense. Lie Xin had never felt so powerless. In the past, she could gradually gain an advantage with her fire energy. But in the face of a true expert, she had no means to retaliate. Would she just be defeated here?

With Wang Zheng, Lear, and the rest slowly achieving victories step by step, it had made herself think that she was also qualified enough to fight a battle.

As soon as Xu Dongsheng stopped speaking, he immediately attacked. A greatsword hacked towards the ground.

Boom!

The ground cracked apart, and a line of ice cold air shot out, striking the Flame Executioner.

Lie Xin was distracted for a moment, and unexpectedly did not dodge. In an instant, the cold air entered the mech and her whole body froze up.

Xu Dongsheng was also shocked. What was this?

She really looked down on him that much and did not even bother to dodge?

Everyone was discussing spiritedly. What happened to the Solar System team? Looking at what happened to the Flame Executioner, everyone was a little stunned. This was a team who got into the top 8, and as the first fighter, her strength should be very astonishing... yet how come the performance was like that of a rookie?

Lear’s gaze was still unfriendly as he looked at Wang Zheng. He did not know what Wang Zheng was doing. Winning the championship was the major premise, and he had decided to work with Wang Zheng temporarily. But every time he thought that this person was okay, he just had to cause some disturbance.

They would not be so lucky to win every Heavenly Battle!

Even if they were able to win this time around, the next battle would be against the people of Atlantis. Would you still want to call for a Heavenly Battle then?

Sometimes, Lear also felt a little confused. How could such a person reach such a level? This country bumpkin was baffling.

Lie Xin got up again with much difficulty. As she was going to launch an attack towards her opponent, she was swatted away by the shield of the Snow Country Defender just as she got up...
