119: Chapter 119 Geniuses from Various Countries Take Turns to Fight
Seeing the scene before him, Lin Feng couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
He truly hadn't expected that this kid, Gu Ze, would actually become the temporary hegemon on the arena stage.
It was mainly because the event had just started, and the top geniuses were too lazy to take the stage too early, which allowed Gu Ze to be smug for quite a while.
The exchange students from the Red Sun Empire stared at Gu Ze as if they were looking at an idiot.
"Hmph!"
On the viewing platform, a brawny man from the Mad Bear Empire let out a heavy huff.
"The power of a big bear? Today, I'll let you broaden your horizons; this is the true power of the Mad Bear!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the brawny man leaped directly onto the arena stage and climbed into the Deduction Pod.
"Damn it! Watch me twist your bear head off!"
Gu Ze cursed and swore as he followed him in.
On the massive holographic screen in the sky, the live footage of their confrontation instantly appeared.
This international league was not only broadcast live in its entirety, but billions of citizens across the Great Xia Alliance could watch the battle simultaneously.
Even the deities of the other super empires could see the entire process clearly through shared signals.
Lin Feng was not in a hurry to enter the arena; he planned to figure out the bottom line of the contestants from various countries first.
After all, apart from the Yamata no Orochi of the Red Sun Empire, he had not yet seen the giant bears of the Mad Bear Empire and the divine eagles of the White Eagle Federation with his own eyes.
...
Inside the screen, both sides had already deployed their troops.
Both were Tier 6 Deities, and their strength on paper was evenly matched.
However, although both were Tier 6, their foundations were as different as clouds and mud.
After receiving the Tier 6 core gifted by Lin Feng, a Tier 6 leader had already been successfully bred within Gu Ze's Titan Thunder Bear tribe!
More importantly, this Tier 6 Thunder Bear was also a fanatical believer of the Azure Dragon and the tribal priest, perfectly inheriting the Azure Dragon's formidable physical body and thunderous divine power.
The moment the army of hundreds of thousands of Titan Thunder Bears appeared, the opponent's species was also teleported onto the field.
The Mad Bear, as the name implied, was a type of heavy-armored brown bear with fur as hard as iron.
The brown fur all over its body was like sharp steel needles; it was truly a living chariot of flesh and blood!
"Did you see that clearly? This is the pure violence that belongs to a beast!"
The contestant from the Mad Bear Empire laughed loudly and provoked him.
"Too much nonsense! Crush him for me!" Gu Ze shouted angrily and issued a divine decree.
The Thunder Bears surged with lightning, and violent electric arcs raced crazily through their blood vessels!
Both camps erupted with deafening roars simultaneously, crashing into each other and biting frantically.
A pure meat grinder battlefield! The scene was bloody to the extreme.
Relying on the laws of lightning, Gu Ze could deal high magical penetration damage.
While the Mad Bears relied on their steel-needle-like fur and abnormal physical bodies to go head-to-head with the Thunder Bears, fighting to a standstill.
But in the end, it was still Gu Ze's side that firmly held the upper hand.
This was simply because the Tier 6 Titan Bear King was too strong. As a fanatical believer of the Azure Dragon, it had inherited the foundation of a divine beast.
Even when facing the siege of three Tier 6 Mad Bears, it was still composed and at ease!
Even every time it swung its bear paw, the accompanying lightning could shock the opponent into full-body convulsions.
With the tides turning, the contestant from the Mad Bear Empire finally pushed open the cabin door with a dark face and retreated from the arena in defeat.
"Did you see that! Only mine is the most authentic heavy lightning strike!" Gu Ze stood on the stage and shouted arrogantly.
As soon as these words came out, the complexions of the contestants in the Mad Bear Empire's phalanx turned livid, and several Tier 7 geniuses even intended to roll up their sleeves and enter the arena.
"Just a stupid bear, do you really think you're invincible?" In the White Eagle phalanx, a tall, thin boy with blonde hair and blue eyes mocked sarcastically, "Could it possibly compare to the Sky Divine Eagles of our White Eagle Federation?"
He clearly couldn't stand Gu Ze's arrogance.
"Don't just run your mouth; if you have the guts, come down and fight one-on-one!" Gu Ze retorted unceremoniously.
The whole audience was in an uproar. It was too arrogant.
The blonde boy was furious; he leaped onto the high platform in one bound and climbed into the equipment.
On the big screen in the sky, the live battlefield situation between the two was immediately presented.
The Sky Divine Eagles of the White Eagle Federation were a group of giant birds of prey with pitch-black bodies and snow-white heads.
They possessed sharp claws capable of tearing through refined steel, and their sharp eagle eyes could see through all physical attacks.
Their thick feathers also came with a super-high magic immunity attribute.
The most fatal thing was... they could fly!
...
Although Gu Ze's Titan Thunder Bears inherited the Azure Dragon's physical body, they were helpless against flying species.
They could only spit out weak lightning balls for anti-air attrition.
But the Divine Eagles' magic resistance was simply too high. Plus, their eagle eyes were keen, allowing them to capture the flight trajectory of the lightning in advance and easily evade it.
Now Gu Ze was completely in a bind. His attributes were completely countered!
The Thunder Bear phalanx had no power to fight back; in just over ten minutes, they were swooped down upon by the Divine Eagles from high altitude, their scalps pecked to shreds.
It ended in a miserable defeat. Gu Ze crawled out of the Deduction Pod dejectedly, and the whole audience burst into boisterous laughter.
Before the fight, he was shouting very arrogantly, and everyone thought he was going to sweep the board, but in the end, he was pecked until he couldn't find north by a bird.
Gu Ze walked off the arena stage and came to Lin Feng.
"Damn it! If this bunch of feathered birds dared to land and fight me in melee, I would definitely tear them to shreds!" Gu Ze said with a face full of grievance.
This was the fatal weakness of having a too-singular troop system; once encountering an enemy that countered oneself, one couldn't exert any strength at all.
The development of a Divine Domain should be comprehensive like Lin Feng's. Things that fly in the sky, run on the ground, and swim in the water should all be available; there will always be one type that can keep the opponent completely subdued.
...
After these two warm-up matches, Lin Feng had a preliminary judgment of the totems of the Mad Bear and the White Eagle.
The Mad Bear was a pure physical heavy-armored tank, and the Divine Eagle was a high-magic-resistance aerial assassin.
Each had its own merits and could be considered top-tier in their respective lanes.
But compared to the great ominous beasts in the 'classic of mountains and seas', they were still lacking something.
Not to mention the pure-blooded Azure Dragon of the Great Xia Alliance.
After Gu Ze warmed up the stage, the battles on the arena became gradually more frequent.
The top students from various countries couldn't suppress the restlessness in their hearts and took the stage one after another to seize the arena.
On average, an arena champion had to be replaced in less than half an hour.
The deity tiers of the challengers also slowly rose from Tier 6 to Tier 7.
The contestants who took the stage all turned into seniors in their fourth year.
After all, the lower-year students didn't have enough foundation and simply couldn't stand their ground.
The intense duels were pushed in real-time to billions of viewers around the world via the signal network.
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon.
There were only the last two or three hours left before the league concluded.
At this moment, the one guarding the arena was a top senior from Starry Sky University.
This person possessed the terrifying cultivation of a Tier 7 Deity. Within his Divine Domain, he even raised a Tier 7 Starry Sky Divine Dragon!
This could absolutely be counted as the strongest trump card currently within Starry Sky University.
Under this senior's suppression, several foreign geniuses had already been defeated in succession.
It seemed that this year's championship crown would definitely belong to the Great Xia Alliance.
The students from their own country on the viewing platform raised their arms and cheered, the whole venue boiling over.
After all, the championship prize was a genuine Tier 8 Origin Core.
Moreover, this core was paid for by the host, the Great Xia Alliance, and no one was willing to hand over such a rare treasure to outsiders.
