Chapter 394: Crucial Battle Against Manaluoso

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

Everybody was looking at this familiar yet strange Zhang Runan... this was Zhang Runan?

No matter how picky you were, the Zhang Runan approaching could not be called ugly by rights. Her face bore a majesty that only female soldiers had, and her eyes were filled with an unswerving determination that attracted a second glance.

This...

People began to break out into murmurs. Those that were more knowledgeable reacted immediately. This was a reverse strength type Ability X, a rare type. Was this Zhang Runan’s real face?

Ye Zisu and the rest were stunned. She was pretty close with Zhang Runan, but this was her first time seeing such a face of Zhang Runan. This was no tyrannosaurus, this was a goddess!

A war goddess!

Zhang Runan ignored their reactions, showing a look of disgust on her face. She must have been troubled by her appearance all the while.

Sometimes ugliness made people leave her alone, both friends and strangers. This spotlight left her uneasy.

Wang Zheng smiled. “I’m really not used to seeing you like this.”

“You bet,” Zhang Runan said mildly. Even her voice tone had become higher.

Lie Xin jumped on her, staring at her from head to toe. “My God!”

Zhang Runan shrugged off Lie Xin’s hand, returning to her place. Zhang Shan stared agape from the side, not daring to speak to her. His macho bravado had caught in his throat, and he swallowed it back down.

The Solar System team had beat the Silver Snake team 3-1, and entered the top 32. One side was celebratory, the other hung their heads.

Meng Ao and the rest looked at each other. Clearly they had not understood the team as well as Wang Zheng did. Zhang Runan was too unexpected, even pretending to be an ugly duckling...

After the battle, the teams waited for the next command. IG battles were not always unchanging. Towards the end, complications would be set to test all-roundedness in individual capability and team coordination, as well as the depth of the substitutes.

Fighting their way into the top 32 was already testament that the ability of the Solar System Federation team had developed greatly. It was no mere luck, and teams ahead that could not recognize this would suffer greatly.

On that day, the top 32 were born. These were the strongest 32 teams that the galaxy had ever seen.

Zone A: Aslan Empire team, Astina Federation team, Hercules Star team, Sagittarius team. action

Zone B: Atlantis team, Versailles Empire team, Icelanda team, Sirius Star team

Zone C: Ghana Star team, Immortal Fairy Star team, Darkness Empire team, Sagitta Federation team

Zone D: Solar System Federation team, Morgan Locke Empire team, Manalasuo Empire team, Caragal Stellar System team

Zone E: Arbiter Republic team, Big Bear Federation team, Gandalla Federation team, Maya Empire team

Zone F: Lya Sphinx Republic team, Aipu team, Queen Star team, Hail Cloud Alliance team

Zone G: Gemini Federation team, Immortal Barbarian Star team, Big Crab Federation team, Spaceflight Star team

Zone H: Maacah Republic team, Earthworm Federation team, Thor team, Steel Flood team

Only two teams could emerge out of each zone, and the top 16 battles were a best of seven, although the battle format remained unchanged. After entering the top 16, the battle format would be changed, but firstly one had to have the aptitude to enter the top 16.

Zone D, that the Solar System was in, was regarded as an average zone. Besides Manalasuo’s domination, the other three teams had a fighting chance to qualify. The question was luck.

The zone D members were waiting quietly in the room. The Manalasuo members were particularly carefree. To them, their opponent did not matter, but to the other three teams, whoever could avoid Manalasuo stood a huge chance of entering the top 16.

Max was currently praying. Their luck had been good, great even. They had actually made it into the top 32. Max had spotted Wang Zheng as well. This punk had actually led his team to the top 32. It looked like the Solar System was in the same situation – a cumulation of their long years of experience blossoming. It was a pity that they had been assigned the same zone. They would have to determine who was better now.

On the screen, the Solar System Federation team’s name appeared on the left. The other side cycled. Everybody’s eyes widened, praying that their name would appear. Caragal team... Manalasuo team... confirmed!

Max could not resist punching his fist in the air. Although he had wanted to clash against the Solar System team, at least they were not against the Manalasuo team. As for the Morgan Locke team, they would soon see who was the fiercer of the two.

The unfortunate Solar System team seemed to have run out of luck.

Max greeted Wang Zheng with a smile. “Looks like our luck is the one that is still holding. Tsk tsk. But to the Solar System, this has already been a historical breakthrough. Your leadership deserves a page in your history.”

On the other side, the Manalasuo team members had already left. Besides the opponents’ name, they were unconcerned as to who their opponents were.

“Who knows, we might be able to pull an upset. Perhaps we could qualify together,” Wang Zheng said.

Max could not believe his ears. “Haha, right, qualify together!”

You had to give it to the Solar System people for their optimism, it looked like they had not been scared out of their wits by Manalasuo. They were either born with tremendous courage, or already resigned to their defeat. However, fate seemed to bring the two teams together regularly.

“Morgan Locke is a difficult matchup as well.”

“Nothing left to do but to go at it. We’ve already made it so far, we want to have no regrets. Timewise, we’re due to start first. It might be possible for us to come to see your match after we’re done. I’m definitely behind the Solar System,” Max said. “Oh, right, let me tell you a secret. This is something that our guys found out. You know Manalasuo’s Golden Wheel, right? I hear this Vincent is the only one who can pilot the Golden Wheel mech effectively. This mech is regarded as trash, but rumor has it that if you can control it, it possesses an unthinkable battle power.”

“I’ve got it.” Wang Zheng laughed. Max was a little miffed by his unsatisfactory response. This guy seemed to be completely unconcerned by his warning... But then again, it was to be expected. What difference did knowing make?

The other Solar System members had differing reactions. Taros was already feeling sidelined. As the battles progressed, he felt more and more powerless. Masasi and Lie Guang’s abilities were below average in the team as well, so it would be difficult to send them in the later battles. Meng Tian was in the same boat. She was not suited to these 1 on 1 battles. Her abilities were better suited in a team.

Whereas Lear and Achilles’ eyes had lit up with joy when they were set to face Manalasuo.

Max and his team were practically skipping as they left. Their behavior irritated the Morgan Locke members. Historically, Morgan Locke was a much stronger team than Caragal.

Vincent was a little surprised. When their next opponent had been decided, Lieutenant General Bole had called him over for a warning, as though he was wary of the Solar System Federation team.

Was... this a joke?

The magnificent Manalasuo Empire team... The meek Solar System Federation team... they could bowl them over even by farting!
