Chương 79: The Final Battle Begins

"No."

Tang Qian shook his head in refusal, and then issued the order.

"You two, once the countdown ends, immediately activate the overload and rush into the gate to pull them off. I'll stay at the evacuation point to prevent the three of them from evacuating."

Both of them were taken aback upon hearing this, clearly not expecting Tang Qian to choose such a fighting style.

They actually mistook the two of them for suicide bombers who had pulled the plug!

If Lin Shuxuan's team did not withdraw, they would have split into two groups and staked out the withdrawal point.

In this situation, if they ventured too deep, they would be forced to open the gates under the attack of martial artists, making their elimination almost inevitable.

But Tang Qian couldn't be with them.

With that [Wind Chaser] and the detection arrows, their whereabouts will be completely exposed.

If all three people go to the gate together, the evacuation point will be lost.

Lin Shuxuan will take the resources from the core area and leave directly.

"So, Tang Qian, are you going to use the two of us as pawns? You need to think carefully about what will happen to you if you lose in the end."

Tang Hao's words seemed to be both advice and a threat; Tang Qian was the absolute protagonist in this deadly battle, and if he were eliminated in the end, the spoils he could receive would be greatly reduced.

He instinctively resisted this order, which was practically a death sentence.

"My orders should be clear: proceed."

He turned and left, leaving no room for negotiation whatsoever.

This decision was based on absolute confidence in its own strength.

Lin Shuxuan's team consisted of a woman, an idiot, and the only one worth paying attention to was Lin Shuxuan himself.

But the other party hasn't even accepted the way yet.

He couldn't think of any reason to lose.

......

Outside the arena, a gasp of surprise erupted from the students watching the game.

"So that's how it was solved? That's amazing."

"As expected of the Federation's God of Gamblers, the King of Battle. net, and the leader of the Seven Sons of the New Sea!"

Are there really this many people in the competition?

"Even so, they still have to fight Tang Qian in the end. I feel like they still won't be able to beat him."

Everyone nodded.

While Lin Shuxuan's extreme gate tactic could indeed break up Tang Qian's team, it was clear to everyone with eyes that it was not.

The team's combat power is basically concentrated on Tang Qian alone. Whether it's the fact that he has three hearts or is fully armed, it means that he is the absolute core of the team.

Using 30, 000 credits only reduces the opponent's team's strength by 20%.

They did gain an advantage, but at a very high cost.

At this moment, a commotion arose in the crowd.

The students' eyes held awe as they discreetly observed the newcomers.

Luo Jiuge stepped into the hall. He had just finished the deathmatch base competition and entered the viewing area where students were gathered, ready to make a grand entrance.

The nine clans of the Federation have their own tacit understanding.

They will place their core juniors, who have been heavily bet on, into different deathmatch arenas, where they will only fight against ordinary disciples or stepsons; generally speaking, winning is not difficult.

But no matter what, a win is a win.

He planned to use his victory to seduce several younger women.

But when he saw what was on the screen, his expression suddenly turned ugly!

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

Why is Li Rufeng, one of the top ten beauties in the military academy, Lin Shuxuan's teammate?!

An uncontrollable rage and terror rose within Luo Jiuge.

As is well known, feelings are most likely to develop under intense adversity; he heard this theory from Lin Shuxuan's homepage.

It seems to be called something like the "suspension bridge effect".

At this rate, Lin Shuxuan will definitely crush him in the dating scene!

"There are still teams that haven't finished playing."

Luo Jiuli swayed her pigtails and walked to her brother's side.

Her focus was completely different, and after watching for a while, she gave her opinion.

"The 'limit stop' tactic is brilliant; this decision should be included in military academy textbooks in the future."

"However, the difference in strength is still very obvious. Tang Qian's limits are too high, and with the support of complete weaponry, Lin Shuxuan is no match for him."

Although she secretly hoped Lin Shuxuan would win, she still expressed her opinion objectively and fairly.

"Jiu Li, don't let your personal feelings cloud your judgment! Brother Shu Xuan will definitely win!"

Who's really being led astray by personal feelings... Luo Jiuli rolled her eyes at her best friend helplessly.

Ever since she instigated Gong Xue to insult Lin Shuxuan using the term "relatives" instead of calling him "father," she has avoided discussing Lin Shuxuan with Gong Xue.

I turned my head to look.

The girl in the black dress had fair skin and delicate, cute features. A beauty mark under her eye moved with her expressions; she didn't appear coquettish, but rather highlighted her pure and lovely nature.

At this moment, her cheeks puffed out in anger as she retorted.

"Then tell me, why do you think Lin Shuxuan can win?"

"Because he participated in the competition. Why participate if he can't win?"

Luo Jiuli was shocked by her best friend's logic.

"Tang Qian also participated, and he also believes he can win."

"That idiot knows absolutely nothing."

"???"

Luo Jiuli sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation. At the same time, a deep sense of sorrow welled up in her heart. She had to do something; she couldn't let her foolish best friend sink any deeper into this mess!

......

The evacuation countdown has ended.

Tang Qian remained on the field and did not leave.

Almost immediately, the announcement came on again.

[Evacuation point now open] With the only possibility of failure eliminated, Tang Qian felt an unprecedented sense of calm.

The path he walks demands an indomitable will. Among the younger generation of the Tang family, he is the most talented, but also the most eccentric.

Simultaneously housing the bodies of three alien beasts is a feat few have accomplished in the history of the Federation.

The intense pain nearly tore his soul apart; every midnight, his heart seemed to struggle as if it were alive, an unimaginable torment.

But today will be his moment of reward.

By collecting all the reward items, he can upgrade his weapon to be more powerful, and even accommodate a fourth heart.

In the near future, he might even be able to compete for the top spot among the nine stars of the Federation!

The battle was about to end, with only Lin Shuxuan's team remaining.

The sharp whistling sound echoed through the air, the arrow vibrating and transmitting his posture in its entirety.

But Tang Qian made no move.

Because the strong only need to sit still!

The three people slowly appeared in sight.

When he saw Lin Shuxuan's face clearly, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Lin Shuxuan, is this your trump card? Transforming yourself into such a grotesque and inhuman appearance is simply too ridiculous."

On Lin Shuxuan's power armor, there were five pieces of alien beast shells, twisting and writhing as if they had been resurrected.

On that delicate face, dark blue veins bulged, facial features were distorted and deformed, and grotesque lumps oozed from the gaps in the armor, making it look particularly ferocious and terrifying.

Lin Shuxuan was completely unfazed by the ridicule:

"Killing you is enough."

While the ecosystem brings erosion, it also amplifies his abilities to an unprecedented level. Using his power armor as a medium, he can simultaneously drive the power of five body shells.

This is ecology.

Even ordinary wild beasts can become ferocious and powerful, let alone martial artists?

Tang Qian was not angry at all upon hearing this; instead, he smiled.

"I have to thank that good-for-nothing Tang Hao. It's his mediocrity that makes you think that all the experts in the Transcendent Realm are so weak, which is why you're talking to me like this now, so recklessly."

He raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly, and in an instant, the world changed!
