Chapter 1162: The Heart that was Ripped Apart

"Otherwise, is it that Snow Li and Wang Zheng have something going on in between them?"

"Haha, it might be possible. With the two teams' capabilities, I would be afraid that the outcome would rely on the team battle. It would not be bad to give a pretty girl a chance to go on."

Amongst the top sixteen teams, there was not much that could be said about Snow Li's beauty. The extraordinarily beautiful woman from Hail Cloud Alliance was famous within the Milky Way Alliance. Although her personality was slightly cold, such a disposition was also extremely great.

The Milky Way Alliance's top four countries which had top beauties consisted of Aslan, Hail Cloud Alliance, Astina Federation, and Atlantis.

Aslan's females were born with the disposition of aristocrats. Males, as they were, all liked such personalities. The females of the Hail Cloud Alliance were natural beauties, their skin fine and smooth and white as snow. Their cold and light personalities were also one of a kind. This was the reason that Hail Cloud Alliance's models were the most famous. On the other hand, the Astina Federation's females were known to be fiery and sexy. It was said that it would be fortunate and also unfortunate to marry an Astina Federation female. It would depend on whether the male counterpart could take it. Lastly, Atlantis. Atlantis' females felt kind of exquisite and picturesque, and underneath that fineness was a gentleness. It was just a pity that only a handful had managed to marry an Atlantean women. Even if it was an intermarriage, it was mostly human females marrying Atlantean men.

Snow Li was a notable beauty within SIG. It was just unfortunate that she did not have any eye-catching performances. Within a physical technique team, she did not have any opportunities to show off, and at the qualifying rounds, it was also not a sniper's speciality. It felt as if her existence was just to make up for the line-up, and in actuality, she was of no use.

Snow Li quietly sat in the cabin. Only on the day before the competition did Wang Zheng find Snow Li and told her that he was entrusting the first vanguard battle to her.

To tell the truth, Snow Li was a bit stunned at that moment. She just looked at Wang Zheng. Whatever he was saying seemed to not register. Hail Cloud Alliance females were cold, but they were passionate inside. Ever since the test practice at Hail Cloud Alliance, the two of them had become even more distant. Even Ai Xiaolu had grown closer to Wang Zheng due to attending to Saruman Snake's matters; she had even become a critically useful person within Wang Zheng's company. This was something Snow Li could not achieve. She had a gift, but not much of an influential family. Most of the time, it was the effect of the halo of year of the Ice Dragon Dance. However, as the competition level escalated, this halo had become more and more ineffective. In the world of the Milky Way Alliance, you had to either have power, or capabilities.

But did she have the capability?

A sniper that conformed to the norms of society could not be said to be weak, but was not very strong either. Of course, looking at the current common battle tactics used nationally, the strongest position was still the warrior.

For Wang Zheng to suddenly entrust this mission to her, it definitely had her slightly at a loss.

Snow Li's first reaction was to refuse. It was not that she was scared, but she was worried that it would affect the bigger picture. The battle against the Golden Wheel battle team was too critical, and she was also clear what it meant to Wang Zheng. Practically speaking, she was envious of Aina.

All Wang Zheng did was smile and pat her shoulder, and he said something that Snow Li was unable to refuse.

The battle began.

Battuta was very excited. The people of Manalasuo loved to show off. Compared to Battuta using the Golden Wheel Battle King, he seemed to pale in comparison. Senior mechanics were not invincible. For this type of level especially, it was not just about knowing how to use, but also to use it well. However, The Golden Wheel Battle King's operations were not that difficult to use, so he would be able to control it. It was that in comparison to offensive fighters, he preferred charging to the front as a tank, to enjoy the pleasure of an intense standoff.

The Light Wheel King's sensitivity was extremely good. By enhancing the foundations of the Light Wheel King, not much would be needed when going against a sniper. Once he entered battle, the Light Wheel King closed in on the Ice Bird mech.

Snow Li's ambush exploded through, causing the Light Wheel King to be plastered behind the wall in an instant. The built he was hiding behind had been penetrated through. Lasers raced towards the mech. Battuta felt a rush of cold air.

This Snow Li certainly had some skills. Her advantages were obvious: she had Ability X transmission of close to zero damage and the Extreme Frost Ambush she depended on that had become famous. Once shot at during the team battle, they would be finished. However, this was not a team battle. With the Light Wheel King's agile movements, it would not be so easy to be shot.

Snow Li adjusted her breathing. She could not panic. A 60 degree breathing technique was moving through her body. This was imparted to her from Wang Zheng and was obviously much better than Elite Academy X's breathing technique. In addition, after learning this breathing technique, her own mental and physical strength had evidently grown; even her use of Ability X had become more resilient.

But was this enough?

Calm down.

Grasping the direction of Light Wheel King's movements, the sniper was on standby at all times. If she were to enter within the Light Wheel King's firing range, their standpoints would immediately change.

Ai Xiaolu did not know what Wang Zheng was up to. Snow and her were good friends, but did Wang Zheng not know the importance of this battle?

In addition, for Wang Zheng to "trust" Snow Li this much on such an occasion, was he not afraid that it would cause some bad rumours to spread? What would happen if it were spread to Aina?

Ai Xiaolu knew that these were words that should not come out of her mouth. Hence, she could only tolerate. In actuality, most of the time, she herself would also be in disorder. It was just that she had a strong point, which was that she would completely focus on a short-term goal, and her short-term goal was to bring the Saruman Snake battle team to become SIG's champion. This victory would be Wang Zheng's as well as hers, which would be a way to realise her inner desires. To be honest, she did not approve of Snow Li entering battle. The year of the Dancing Ice Dragon was just the Hail Cloud Alliance's people's beautiful wish. In the Hail Cloud Alliance's history, only one strong person had ever appeared, and it might just have been a coincidence.

In comparison to Wang Zheng, Ai Xiaolu had been rational since young.

The situation was how everyone predicted. The sniper's routine and inhibitions were very clear-cut. Battuta, as a senior mechanic, had plentiful experiences. He made use of the infrastructure and closed in slowly, not even the slightest bit anxious. It could be seen that his long distance shots were also very precise.

Snow Li did not dare to take the risk to attack full force. Her Freeze Ambush, in the Greatest King, also shined. However, this move had not reached the point where with just this move, she could survive anywhere.

Once it fell through, her Ability X would be largely drained and Snow Li would become a waiting prey.

Battuta adjusted his breathing and then opened the public channel to say, "Hey, beautiful, how about we go on a date after we finish this battle!" The other party's sniping was relatively skillful, but snipers had never been the main lead in the era of mecha. To actually underestimate Manalasuo's tank, either this Wang Zheng was too arrogant or he was too naive.

Handling a sniper just required a firm, oppressive close-in to end everything. For him to not choose a scout mech, he had already given them a lot of face.

Snow Li's ice-cold face still did not show any emotions. She herself was also very helpless. Perhaps she only had one chance, and that was when Light Wheel King entered his ultimate offensive firing range, to fight with the other party with all her might and gamble on the fatal Frozen Arrow.

However, Snow Li herself had little confidence. Such an attack was too easy to dodge. She was confident in finding the opportunity in a team battle, but in a one on one, how could she find it?

What did Wang Zheng mean exactly?

Could it be that he was taking her as a "sacrificial pawn" to bring down one of the other party's Earth-rank warriors?

This thought oddly appeared, yet Snow Li's heart felt a feeling of being torn...
