Tempest of the Stellar War

Although the Sun God was famous within his circle, other players did not care. All they recognized was Skeleton, and they were even more fervent after the IG competition.

However, there was no direct broadcast, and most of them could only watch the recordings. This was indeed using real knives and guns, and viewing it had an age restriction of 14 years and above.

Ares College became famous overnight, and even Gu Te had never imagined that the IG competition would have such an effect. More importantly, this had captured the hearts of all the people on Earth. After being suppressed for so long, the desire hidden within their hearts had reignited.

This was a celebration to rise up!

Ares College immediately jumped to the top of the rankings on Earth, surpassing other combined universities and specialized universities in the Solar System, which was an unprecedented event.

Except the guys who were preparing for combat were not aware of this. After winning the second round, the third round began shortly after.

The first bout had three continuous matches, and the opponents of the Solar System team was the Hurricane team, who had defeated the Immortal Barbarian team.

They were indeed the rising stars of the IG competition. As the battles continued, they got harder and harder, with this bout being a major hurdle. Only after this would they obtain precious time to rest.

The opponent’s basic information had been sent over.

The leader of the Hurricane team was called Li Dongyang, who was a strong Ability X user. Similar to the Solar System team, the team had relied on the combination of Ability X to win all the way thus far. With equal opponents, the crux was on the strength of their respective Ability Xs in order to obtain an advantage.

For this competition, it was obvious that the number of spectators had more than doubled. After all, the Solar System team was not unknown, and others were keen to observe if they had indeed become stronger or had simply relied on their luck to pass the first two rounds. After all, the second round was a close shave.

After losing a match, Taros remained silent. Him and Raston had both sustained some slight injuries. After watching Zhang Shan and the rest win with their matches ease, they had never thought that they would lose when they were up.

In truth, individual abilities had nothing to do with fame. Moreover, Wang Zheng had it right. It was still necessary to pay attention to tactics, especially when the opponent was not a weakling.

The Hurricane planet was a planet with a high chance of Ability X occurring, and it stemmed mainly from the unique characteristics of their planet. The first time a human explorer saw the planet, he was shocked by its beauty. It had what looked a little like Saturn’s rings, but it was surrounded by a double ring similar to a rainbow. The environment was very similar to the Earth’s. It had abundant biological and botanical resources, but it did not produce highly-civilized creatures. (Of course, there were rumors that there were indigenous civilizations, but it was likely that they had been eliminated.) Humanity had quickly conquered the planet and became the main species, and the residents of this planet were very clever. Their innate gene score was much higher, perhaps due to the fact that the planet’s strength was abundant and nourishing. Within the current Milky Way Alliance, they were an important asset. However, despite their intelligence, the humans on the planet were rather lazy; they preferred to take the easier path. As a result, their military strength was not well developed, and their mecha lost to those of other planets. However, in recent years, the Hurricane planet had attempted to change this situation and increased their national strength, achieving the power of a large nation.

The IG competition was a time for them to showcase their might. When the gene scores of the people were higher, there was a higher probability for Ability Xs to appear.

Gu Te and the others had already calmed down. Their aim had been accomplished, but watching the performance of the students, they couldn’t help but dream a little bigger. Could they enter the main competition?

If they could enter the main competition, it would be a significant breakthrough. His whole life would be complete. What more could he wish for as a principal?

There was a lot of discussion in the venue. “Si Jiali, you should really consider Wang Zheng as a partner. Both of you have the same interests, and he is so handsome too, just like our Aslanian men.”

Bi Yuyan’s gossipy nature had once again surfaced.

“Look at that short-haired fellow who keeps turning back to peek; seems like he is quite interested in you.”

“Who?”

“The one sitting beside Ye Zisu,” Si Jiali said.

“No way, that shorty? Impossible!” Bi Yuyan exclaimed.

“Perhaps his family has great connections. That has to be the case if he is able to be so familiar with Zisu.”

“Oh, that makes sense. Well, since I’m also single at the moment, a change of taste might be interesting.” While saying that, Bi Yuyan strode over. Si Jiali could only shake her head in exasperation and followed behind, thinking that Bi Yuyan was the only one who dared to do whatever she wanted.

On the stage, the teams had already assembled. The members of the Hurricane team were all wearing silver uniforms that were sparkling under the light, and their eyes filled with confidence and pride.

In fact, the Hurricane planet was the newest planet that was the closest to Earth, and was said to be much more beautiful than Earth. This had caused their people to possess a natural sense of superiority.

For them, as long as they wanted something, they would be able to succeed easily. The goal of the Hurricane planet was to reach at least the semi-finals.

The start of the match was officially declared. Li Dongyang turned around and walked back to his place, not bothering with Wang Zheng. This caused Wang Zheng, who had been walking towards him, to stand there stupidly. Despite this, Wang Zheng simply smiled and did not take it to heart.

Achilles took the initiative and asked, “Wang Zheng, how should we proceed with the first round?”

Achilles was not Taros, so his forward questioning had to have a hidden meaning. It was understood from their intelligence that the leading team member of the Hurricane team, Robert Han, had a space-related Ability X similar to that of Zhang Shan. The difference was that while Zhang Shan’s was stationary, his ability could distort space, allowing the mech to move within that space. This distortion would not cause physical harm, but it would interfere with the pilot’s rhythm, giving rise to a sudden feeling of weightlessness. Once the pilot was under such an effect, they would be easily defeated, especially since Ability Xs of this type were had to predict.

Regardless of the attitude of the Hurricane team, their strength was indeed real, yet it was obvious the Solar System team had no intentions of stopping at this round.

Wang Zheng nodded. “First match, Achilles!”

Being the strongest from the Solar System, Achilles was the only person that was known outside of the Solar System, and he was also the most popular. It was likely that he was the only one that was comparable to their opponents in fame.

Achilles strode on to the stage, while Li Dongyang let a member of his team who had already sat down go up once again. “Robert Han, get up. Achilles is the Solar System team’s strongest member. Defeat him, and the rest of them will be easy. Be careful, his Ability X is some kind of force field.”

Robert Han looked like he was 16 or 17 years old. He stood up and smiled a bit. “Captain, please rest assured; you don’t need to be too stressed over the Solar System. I also want to try to battle the farmer who likes to play with his spade. Haha, you guys are lucky indeed.”

His voice had not been blocked, so even the members of the Solar System team far away had heard it clearly. In his eyes, the shovel was simply a joke that could be destroyed with a single ability. It was a pity that this opportunity would be given to the others. However, beating the team captain of the Solar System team would still be rather interesting.

To tell the truth, ever since they arrived on Aslan, the Solar System seemed to be despised no matter where they went. However, as the Solar System was the origin of humankind, it was one of the stigmas they had to bear. But with insufficient strength, the meaning of it was only a burden. If they were from a different federation, not a single person would have bothered with them.

Sure enough, as soon as he took the stage, the opponent did not even bother to shake hands. Despite having a better temperament than most, Achilles had experienced something he had never felt before – being ignored.

He was Achilles!

The great heavenly successor!

The whole Milky Way Alliance, and even the entire universe, originated from the Solar System. This great civilization, starting from the core, would be dominated by the Solar System!
