Chapter 1198: Zero Degrees Rhythm

The second battle for the top four was between the Dynasty battle team and the Zero Degrees battle team. Both teams had equal opportunity to advance to the final four, or perhaps they would advance no further. However, there was a big difference between being in the top four and the top eight when it came to how many people would remember them. People may not remember the battle years later, but they would definitely remember the top four.

Dynasty battle team: Lear, Luo Fei, Zhou Yun, Anluda, Pang Tong

The current Dynasty battle team was very united, standing by Lear and Luo Fei. Luo Fei was still the same, but Zhou Yun and the rest would not dare to be mischievous anymore. To be in the top four was their common goal as well. Firstly, their families' influence and opinions in their respective countries would be greatly enhanced. Secondly, they would also gain more recognition from the Sacred Religion. Apart from who would be selected as the next Holy Son, this honour had to be obtained.

Zero Degrees battle team: Ai Zhengyang, Ai Wen, Ge Luo, Kappa, Beverly.

The Ai family was ambitious. It was obvious from Ai Xiaolu and Ai Zhengyang's strategies. When the capitalism development reached a certain level, the demand would be greater. In the past, the strategy adopted by the Ai consortium was low-key development. However, with the changes in the international scene in recent years, they had to keep up with the times too. Thus, being in the top four was just the basic goal. Being in the top four would no doubt allow the Ai consortium to further expand their influence. Of course, this would be a rare opportunity for the young people who were taking part in the competition. Having reached this stage, no one was willing to leave.

The first match was between Luo Fei and Beverly. Unsurprisingly, Beverly was also an Earth-rank warrior, but was being suppressed by Luo Fei nonetheless. Having come this far, Luo Fei was gradually showing his super scout style. This had nothing to do with his looks, but rather the perfect control of his ability to weaken his opponent, move in stealth mode, and devour Ability X. Now Luo Fei would not dare to absorb too much of his opponent's power. Instead, he was applying more suppression. He had learned his lesson after having tasted defeat previously. However, it was also because he had no other choice when he was facing Mars. Beverly was not as strong. The Dynasty battle team took the first win.

However, both Zhou Yun and Anluda lost their matches consecutively. The Ice ability's interference left its impact, successfully creating a big hindrance to combat. The Dynasty battle team lost consecutively, yet Lear and Ai Zhengyang did not take to the battlefield. The Zero Degrees battle team had obviously put their focus in the team battle after Luo Fei took the first win.

The preparations for the team battle were also usually intense. Team coordination and interferences could not determine the outcome, but it would determine the safety factor. Lear and Ai Zhengyang would ultimately be the determining factors of the outcome of the battle. The Zero Degrees battle team was in a more advantageous position as all five of them possessed Ice attributes. Hence, there was minimal chances of interferences and mutual influence. Team battle was very beneficial to the Zero Degrees battle team.

Both parties were going all out, choosing warrior-type mecha. This assessment was correct. In such an arena, limited by space and obstacles, the scouts were too vulnerable, and that went double for snipers. Whoever used one was seeking death. It was the same for warriors, which were limited by movements and defences. They had all been abandoned, unless they were very confident. However, in a top four battle, such an idea was not necessary. Although a tank had very good defence, after previous battles, many were well aware that when facing an Earth-rank warrior, tanks would not be of much use. Warriors, on the other hand, would have the best balance.

Both the Dynasty battle team and the Zero Degrees battle team had the same understanding and assessments of their opponents.

As expected by everyone, as soon as the battle began, the Zero Degrees battle team, which was made up of ice attributes, controlled the entire situation. Although it had not reached the extent of resonance, the ice abilities created a snow fall. The entire arena was turned into a frosty ice world. The Zero Degrees battle team went into full force. Ai Zhengyang also demonstrated his Earth-rank two super conquering power. This was the true meaning of learning while training in the Ice Cloud Alliance's Million Load Ice Cave, and the five of them had different levels of understanding. However, due to the homogenization of the environment, they were able to control the environment, suppressing the power of the other attributes. Under the leadership of Ai Zhengyang, the rest would only need to unleash their power at the same time.

This was Ai Zhengyang's ultimate move. Undoubtedly, this leader of the Ai consortium possessed great intelligence.

Unless their opponent had five members who possessed the fire element to counter them, this level of freezing power, limiting the opponent's Ability X, and suppression of combat abilities would definitely impose interference on their opponents' abilities. As soon as the team battle began, Zhou Yun, Pang Tong, and Anluda were eliminated, and taken away by the energy shield protection of the SIG Organizing Committee. The ice storm created by the five members, took out these three who had yet to reach Earth-rank level.

The Zero Degrees battle team's battle tactic was to centralize all power with Ai Zhengyang leading the pack. The rest only needed to provide a suitable environment for unleashing the ice attribute abilities, suppressing the opponents' spiritual power. This was the understanding and ultimate move of the Zero Degrees battle team. The result was obvious. Those who had not attained Earth-rank would not be able to withstand such attacks. Ai Zhengyang was as mighty as the ice god. This battle also created a new Ability X tactics.

How would one face time a team battle when their Ability X had reached a certain peak?

With the humans' ability to communicate with the power of heaven and earth, combat skills thus paled in comparison. As a team representing combat skills, the Dynasty battle team was obviously specifically targeted, with devastating results.

Both Lear and Luo Fei showed Earth-rank two spiritual power, and were able to withstand such pressure. However, they were facing Ai Zhengyang, who was also Earth-rank two. At the same time, he was also complemented by two other Earth-rank one warriors. Together with the involvement of another two mid-B level spiritual power, the entire battlefield was already covered in frost. The mecha were almost frozen.

Both Lear and Luo Fei were attempting to close in to provide interference. However, the cooperation among the Zero Degrees battle team was excellent. Ai Wen and Beverly jointly provided interference. The two Earth-rank one warriors were not engaged in direct confrontations, only curtailing and defending. If Lear and Luo Fei were to attack, the defence against the intrusive freezing air would decline. Like the rain moistens everything silently, as long as there was enough time, the two would freeze to death eventually.

Luo Fei could devour?

Such great power could literally stuff him to death!

In actual fact, Luo Fei had already tried. But as soon as he tried, he knew that it was a bad move. It was because this sort of power contained a large amount of frozen air. A portion was fine, but as soon as he tried to take in more, he felt a little numb. This was why Ai Zhengyang was not at all afraid of the Dynasty battle team.

Every team had their rhythm for conquering the world and battling styles. Never be baffled by the opponents' strengths. Whoever controlled the rhythm would hold the key to victory. There was no need to waste time in individual battles. Ai Zhengyg knew that Lear had the same plan. They had won those two matches easily. lt was only necessary for the Zero Degrees battle team to secure a win and stake the rest of the battle on the team battle. Only those who were truly strong would want to eliminate their opponents in a complete swoop. This was clearly not applicable to the Zero Degrees battle team and the Dynasty battle team.

Going into the team battle, he would not dare to say that he could take down the Sword Shield Rose battle team, but they were more than adequate to handle the Dynasty battle team. With far-sightedness and temperament, the Dynasty battle team could not suppress Ai Zhengyang. Furthermore, he was certain that his tactics would be able to suppress the opponents completely.

On the other hand, the Dynasty battle team had no novel tactics. They were still hoping that combat skills would be effective in the team battle. This was absolutely wishful thinking.

It was difficult for Lear and Luo Fei to make any moves now.

Frankly, Lear and Luo Fei were representatives of quite a significant group of people on Earth. Wang Zheng was undoubtedly an idol, but so were they. Regardless of Lear's achievements, for the outsiders, he was still the strongest role model of Zeus College.

Lear did not expect this. His practice, lightning speed, and combat skills were totally useless when confronted with the near rogue ice vortex of his opponents. The most disgusting thing was that these guys were so steady that as soon as Lear and Lou Fei thrusted forward, they would take turns to cause interference, using different ice shields and ice walls. They simply would not determine the outcome directly. They would simply suppress and delay.

They would either have to surrender or freeze to death.
