As the qualifying round entered the middle stage, Team Zero gradually emerged from victory to victory, and the audience's view of them also changed from initial disdain to admiration.
In a match on the Industrial Ruins map, the enemy team's configuration was hopelessly powerful - three Jindan-level mechas and two top-level foundation-building mechas. The hardware advantage made Team Zero breathless.
Shadow Killer saw the other side's crushing formation and couldn't help but complain: "This configuration is really rich. It feels like we are elementary school students going against professional players."
Xiang Fan's voice came over the communication channel, still calm. "There are many narrow passages in the ruins of the industrial site. We can block their advance route. Shadow Killer, attack the enemy auxiliary mecha from behind and cut off their support capabilities."
Shadow Killer licked the corner of his mouth: "Harassment from behind? Boss, you really understand my romance!" After saying that, his mecha activated stealth mode and quietly went around from the flank.
"Xuanwu guards, hold back their main force and buy time." Xiang Fan continued to command.
The Xuanwu guard's voice was steady and powerful: "No problem, leave this to me." His heavily armored mecha stood in front with a huge shield on top. He was like a single man blocking a thousand enemies' way. He allowed the enemy's firepower to hit the shield like raindrops, but he remained motionless.
Ling Ruoxi deployed suppressive fire from the flank, her Sky Sword Armor's psychic flying swords accurately forcing back the enemy's assault mecha. Ling Ruochen surprisingly didn't steal the show this time, instead piloting a guerrilla mecha behind her sister, constantly harassing the enemy's flanking firepower.
The Shadow Killer quietly crept up behind the enemy auxiliary mech and suddenly attacked. His lightsaber precisely pierced the auxiliary mech's psychic shield. After a successful strike, he sneered and spoke in voice chat: "Brother, this is called the Shadow Killer's silent farewell. Have you learned it?"
The enemy's auxiliary mecha erupted in flames, and the team's formation collapsed. Zero, piloting his Qi-training-level mecha, silently advanced from the rear, dodging enemy fire while precisely locking onto the core of the commander's mecha. A dazzling beam of psychic energy shot forth, piercing directly through the enemy commander's core compartment.
[System prompt]: The enemy commander is killed, and the flag belongs to Team Zero!
Shadow Killer laughed heartily. "Perfect ending! Are these opponents just trying to give away points with this configuration?"
The audience exploded instantly.
"This team is truly formidable. They actually defeated a Jindan-class mecha with their tactics!"
"Zero is so stable, and the layout of each game is a classic."
"This wave, this wave is a textbook-level operation!"
In another game, the Desert Oasis map showcased the amazing tacit understanding between the brother and sister duo Ling Ruoxi and Ling Ruochen.
Ling Ruoxi controlled the Sky Sword Armor to occupy the high ground and launched a precise psychic sniper attack from a distance. The flying sword flew through the rolling sand and dust, striking the enemy commander's shield, splashing a dazzling aura.
Ling Ruochen, in his guerrilla mech, circled the lowlands, using his psychic jammer to continuously suppress the enemy's shield recovery system. As he fired, he excitedly shouted, "Sis, look at me. I'll cover you no problem!"
Ling Ruoxi sighed helplessly: "Ruochen, your shooting angle is too exposed, adjust it quickly."
Ling Ruochen said stubbornly, "It's better to expose it, so that they know that I am here!"
The next second, the enemy's long-range artillery fire accurately covered his position. He hurriedly controlled the mecha to rush across the sand dunes: "Ahhh! How can they be so accurate?!"
Shadow Killer laughed so hard he hiccuping on the communication channel: "Ling Ruoxi, your brother really adds a lot of comedy to our team."
Ling Ruoxi suppressed her anger and launched another precise strike with her psychic flying sword, piercing the shield core of the enemy commander's mecha and forcing him out of the competition. She said calmly, "Ruochen, next time you run around, you will be responsible for picking up the parts yourself."
Shadow Killer clapped his thigh and laughed: "This brother-sister combination is interesting. One is as impulsive as a bomb, and the other is as steady as a rock. The future is promising!"
As Team Zero won consecutive victories, the audience's attitude gradually changed. From initial disdain to current praise, this dark horse team began to spark heated discussions across the server.
The commentator spoke passionately, "Team Zero has once again refreshed our understanding of ranked play! Although their equipment may not seem impressive, their diverse tactics, coordinated teamwork, and impressive mechanics are truly remarkable. This is a team built entirely on strength!"
Another commentator echoed this sentiment, saying, "Zero's commanding ability is especially impressive. He's able to flexibly formulate strategies based on the map and enemy configuration in each match. Add to that the stealthy attacks of the Shadow Killer, the head-on attack of the Black Tortoise Guard, and Ling Ruoxi's precise sniping, and the entire team's performance is truly remarkable."
As soon as the commentary ended, the player comment section became lively.
Player 1: "I've been following Zero since the first game. This kind of IQ-crushing style of play is really getting more and more addictive!"
Player 2: "Ling Ruoxi is truly amazing. Her sniper accuracy is terrifyingly high. Every shot seems to predict the enemy's actions in advance."
Player 3: "Although Ling Ruochen is a bit reckless, his harassment ability is truly impressive."
Player 4: "I bet a bag of spirit stones that they can make it into the top three!"
Some fans even quickly formed a temporary support group named "Zero Undefeated Team", shouting the slogan "Break the rules and create legends", which immediately set off a craze.
After the game, Team Zero’s discussions became much more relaxed.
Shadow Killer leaned against the mech, a piece of grass in his mouth, and said with a smile: "Boss, this time we really have become a star team. Next, should we have some momentum like a fan meeting?"
