Chapter 1159: Another Ancient Martial Arts battle team

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Bartley’s basic Ability X was pure strength. Strength-type mecha were also representative of the Geminis. But the Earth-rank warrior’s battering was really earth-shattering.

Dust flew everywhere. Everyone was dumbfounded.

The gigantic Ice Mace was held down by the laser sword. Although the Eternal Aries was shrouded by the exploding ray of light, it had managed to endure it?!

Lear believed that this was destiny. The Aries Art was a superior technique. He had perfected this technique from the Saint Sect, and showed vast improvement. The training at Tita Star allowed him to breakthrough to Earth-rank, but this was insufficient. Lear understood this principle: the more you showed your hand, the more you needed to win. Once you lost, the blow to yourself would be greater. Therefore, he was very cautious because he was not confident.

But when he had absorbed Mars’ strength from Luo Fei, the domineering power of the Heavenly Overlord Attack supplemented Lear’s lack of strength. The Aries Art was a fervent technique of the balance of the five elements. However, Lear always came out a little short, and this was insufficient to achieve through his own practice. He did not possess this dominance, but it was all but made up when Lear absorbed Mars’ dominance.

The Aries Art had a breakthrough!

The feeling of the powerful forces circulating in the body was incomparably wonderful. Bartley’s ferocious attack helped Lear integrate his strength.

The Eternal Aries disappeared instantaneously. Lights flashing, the laser sword slashed directly at the flank of the Ice Mace.

Bartley’s eyes were ice-cold. Ability Xs exploded, and a khaki-coloured force field appeared.

— Gravity Hell!

The Eternal Aries, which had just taken flight, appeared to have been battered, and its speed declined instantly. A backhand from Bartley resulted in a blast of the hammer.

Bang…

The laser sword was blocked, and the Eternal Aries was sent flying.

The Eternal Aries whirled, gliding for distance before coming to a stop.

Bartley – the Gravity Hell. Everything in his position weighed six times heavier; whether it was the mech or the pilot himself.

Therefore, in confronting him, whether it was speed-type or strength-type, or whatever that was chaotic, everything would be battered to death!

Bartley resumed normal breathing after suffering from the recent antiphasic strike. The Geminis’ ability to withstand any strike was the strongest in the Milkyway Alliance.

Luo Er was naturally a supporter of her own country’s battle team. She was shocked too. According to the information, Luo Fei had not recovered. There was a huge possibility that the Gemini battle team could defeat the opponent directly, taking the lead two-to-one in the early stages. If they drew during the team battle, they would still advance. The tactics were much more flexible.

The Eternal Aries bowed slightly and stood in an attacking posture. Lear’s attention was on his own laser sword. That strike had activated all the cells in his body. Every cell was filled with electric energy. The lingering power of the tree of life fused with the dominance of the Aries Art so Lear felt great.

Bartley laid aside the alloy mace, patted the cockpit of the mech, and hooked his fingers.

Both sides were poised for action; their spirit, energy and soul were completely in tune… The scene was somewhat overpowering.

Lear finally struck. The Eternal Aries struck like lightning, like a silver snake striking towards the Ice Mace.

Bartley stood in combat readiness. Gravity hell, have a taste of your own medicine!

Growl.

In an instant, everyone stared at the arena dumbfoundedly. Lear’s laser sword had penetrated through Bartley’s mech, yet Bartley did not respond.

“Only five times greater.”

This was what Lear offered Bartley.

Wang Zheng and the others were not surprised. Five times gravity was not a big deal for an outstanding warrior. However, with the difficulty in the maneuvering of the mech, it would be a totally different story altogether. This was what had given Bartley confidence. However, the ancient martial arts were different. As long as you held your breath, you could counterbalance the disparity. Lear had been practicing since a young age, thus could not be worse off than them.

Peace was with the victor, Lear. Bartley, on the other hand, was raving mad. The Geminis were livid as well. Bartley was not so dreadful, but an erroneous judgment had promptly ruined the battle.

Lear saluted very politely. Lear sent on Subaru in the third match. It was always good to have a Mayan in the team, making it unpredictable. Although it was a bit of a hard fight, Subaru nonetheless completed the task of defeating the opponent, assigned by Lear. The Dynasty battle team advanced to the quarter-finals with a score of zero-to-three.

The Gravity battle team was, without a doubt, not a top-notch team. This victory did not stir up too much uproar, and Luo Fei’s condition proved to be fatal. Regardless, the Dynasty battle team also advanced to the quarter-finals. As far as Elite Academy X was concerned, Lear had fully completed his task. Since Imperial Glory and Asura had been eliminated, all the previous defeats were set aside instantly.

Moreover, the victory at SIG was obviously much more impressive than the battles at the Greatest King Competition. Even the elite colleges had to admit to this. So, Lear could finally hold his head up in elation.

However, he suppressed his excitement as much as possible. A master should be composed and humble.

Wang Zheng and the others were somewhat relaxed after watching Lear’s match. The skill level and variations shown were not unexpected. Wang Zheng was afraid that Lear, like Luo Fei, was hiding some unusual ability. But looking at Lear’s suppressed delight, it appeared to be otherwise.

The battles of the quarter-finals resumed after a night’s rest. The Child of Light battle team from the Mayan Empire versus the Devil Dragon battle team from the Earthworm Federation.

It was obvious that the reason why the Devil Dragon battle team could advance to the top 16 was because they have shown great physical skills. They had stirred quite a few surprises before they advanced to the quarter-finals. The Earthworm Federation of yester years did not enjoy such tremendous strength.

However, how effective would physical skills be in a confrontation with the almost exceptional Mayans?

Every team had gathered in the spectators’ seats; not on the lookout for the Devil Dragon, but the Mayans. Everyone hoped that the Devil Dragon would put up a more impressive resistance so that the Mayans would expose more.

However, no one expected that, the winner in the first round, turned out to be…

The Earthworm Federation!!!

The entire Earthworm Federation was howling! Everything was trembling!

The development was very unexpected. Confronting the Mayans’ photon attacks, the main tank sent out by the Devil Dragon in the first match did not take a defensive stand. Instead, they took the offensive attack!

Intrepid physical skills together with a shadow Ability X…

The Mayans assaulted with photons. The shadow penetrating into the light was like a black ink staining the clear water! Undoubtedly, this dealt a hard blow to the photonized Mayans. This was not the invasion of Ability X, but the inner force of some sort, the power of ancient martial arts!

The Mayans’ light was virtually light element, but not Ability X. On the other hand, the Devil Dragon was a dark element, and this type of invasion was an absolute restraint.

The Devil Dragon battle team won the first battle convincingly, and it was also a big upset. Everyone understood a fact: anyone with the dark element could completely suppress the Mayans.

Not only were the members of the Devil Dragon battle team excellent in their physical skills, their Ability Xs were quite remarkable too.

Wang Zheng had a strange feeling. In fact, Achilles and Lie Xin were dumbfounded too. These were evidently traces of the ancient martial arts, and not the ordinary physical skills. Moreover, the assessing method was quite profound, not something that could be achieved over a short period of time.
