The Seventh Base

Chapter 625: Chapter 53: Glorious Despite Defeat?

Countless spectators witnessed the battle, many were stunned, thinking it would be a clash of equals.

However, the outcome was obviously different from what they had imagined, as the hunter from Blue Star Energy Technology Group still dominated Alman from Locke Mechanical Group with a very strong posture.

As if, the stronger the opponent, the stronger he became.

After a moment of stunned silence, there came deafening cheers, with many people jumping excitedly in the stands.

Xiao Qi, noticing the reaction of the crowd around him, muttered, “If Brother Xu ends up defeating Sterling, he might become a legend. Sister Butterfly, guess what I saw.”

“!” Ye Qingdie said.

“Sister Butterfly, how do you understand me so well?” Xiao Qi asked, with Ye Qingdie looking at him as if he were an idiot.

In this arena alone, there are already tens of thousands of people. If each person bought one piece of equipment, that’s tens of thousands. Of course, this is just an example, many can’t afford it, but the influential power it spreads is enough for Blue Star Energy Technology Group to capture a huge market.

It’s all money!

Brother Xu really knows how to do business.

This time, Locke Mechanical Group must be crippled.

They are people from Lancelot Star, Xu Mo naturally wouldn’t be polite to them.

At this moment, the people from Locke Mechanical Group indeed looked gloomy. They sat together, silent, staring intently at Xu Mo in the arena, their gazes cold, which was completely out of sync with the frenetic atmosphere around them.

Star Shining Knight Order’s Alman got rolled over, is this hunter that strong?

Where did Blue Star Energy Technology Group find him?

“Get ready, follow him after the competition ends, find out his identity, and don’t expose our group. Hire someone to do it,” the leading young man said coldly, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes, Xu Mo had fully enraged them.

Previously, they had hoped Alman would deal with him in the arena, but things had not gone as planned.

Since it couldn’t be resolved within the arena, it would have to be outside the arena.

In the arena, Xu Mo hadn’t thought that far ahead yet.

The cheering around him went on and on, besides him, another battle was also quite intense.

The fight between Louis and Salem, one a top genius from university not yet graduated, the other a super player from the Mechanical God Arena, both of their fights were also topical.

Who is stronger, the genius student who studies in school or the veteran player seasoned on the battlefield?

Their battle did not disappoint the crowd, displaying super gameplay. Louis’s abilities were near-perfect, with flawless attack, speed, combat skills, and reflexes, seemingly perfect in every aspect.

Meanwhile, Salem used a variety of tactics, pushing the mechanical advantages to the limit and showcasing diverse methods with terrifying experience.

But in the end, the genius student from Lucas University, Louis, defeated the super player from the Mechanical God Arena, Salem.

Louis seemed flawless, using solid skills to play steadily and ultimately defeat Salem.

Countless people cheered for him, another genius on the rise, truly worthy of Lucas Star’s top institution.

With Louis’s victory, only three people remained in the arena.

Royal Knights’ Sterling, Lucas University student Louis, and Blue Star Energy Technology Group’s Xu Mo.

The three stood in a triangular position.

Sterling still appeared calm and composed, his Golden Armor shining brilliantly, as if the upcoming battles were irrelevant to him.

Louis and Xu Mo exchanged glances, then both looked towards Sterling, who said to Louis, “Not bad for a Lucas University genius student. After graduating next year, consider joining my Royal Knights, you can skip the assessment.”

Such a genius like Louis was very welcome in the Royal Knights, even eligible for special admission, provided there were no major issues with his background.

“Thank you. I’ll consider it,” Louis responded, showing humility and politeness.

“You’re not bad either,” Sterling then turned to Xu Mo, “Would you be interested in revealing your true identity? Maybe the Royal Knights could consider you too.”

“Thank you,” Xu Mo said, “No need.”

To them, the Royal Knights represented honor, the guardians of the Royal Family, but for Xu Mo, they were just guards, not particularly noble.

Sterling did not say much more, telling them, “You two fight. After determining the winner, fight me.”

With that, he stood aside, still in a spectator’s pose, letting Louis and Xu Mo fight to determine the winner, and then he would have the final battle with him.

The audience could feel Sterling’s arrogance, as if he was unbeatable there, and only the ultimate victor deserved to face him in battle.

Xu Mo could see this clearly; he had previously crossed swords with people from the Royal Knights during his time at Lucas University, though none as strong as Sterling.

Sterling, being one of the elites in the Royal Knights, definitely had a significant status, and being in constant contact with the Royal Family, he naturally held himself in high regard, considering himself superior, and naturally disdainful of competitions like the Mechanical God Arena, which he saw as merely an event.

Sterling indeed thought so, coming here to casually claim first place, effortless for him.

With his status, not claiming first place would be a failure.

However, Louis and Xu Mo did have commendable strength, worth him making an effort.

Louis’s gaze turned towards Xu Mo, although annoyed by Sterling’s arrogance, Xu Mo seemed more manageable compared to Sterling, at least, his abilities were a good counter to Xu Mo’s.
