An announcement rang out across the Spirit Realm battlefield: "Congratulations to Team Zero for advancing to the finals! The qualifying round will be a 'stronger showdown' format. The final two teams will be: Team Zero vs. Holy Land Son Team."
As soon as the news came out, the entire server was in an uproar.
"Haha, Zero was able to advance to the finals, maybe that's just because his luck ran out?" Various mocking voices rang out in the player channel.
"The opponent is the Holy Land's Holy Son Team, all of them are Jindan-level mechas. How can Team Zero defeat their broken Qi training machines?" a player echoed.
"A showdown between the strong? Zero is just a clown on stage. I heard that there is a specially customized Jindan mecha in the Son of God's team. Even the official said it. Zero, don't even think about seeing the flag." His words were full of contempt.
Team Zero gathered in the lounge. Shadow Killer was scrolling through his screen, his teeth itching with rage: "These people are too foul-mouthed. Boss, if we don't defeat the Son of God, we'll be letting them down!"
The Xuanwu guard spoke calmly, "Don't get carried away. The Saint Son team is indeed a formidable foe. Not only are they equipped entirely with Jindan mechas, but they also have the legendary Saint Son mecha, which is said to be two levels higher in performance than ordinary Jindan mechas."
Ling Ruoxi flipped through the Saint Son team's past records and couldn't help but frown. "Just looking at the hardware configuration, their mecha completely overwhelms us. And judging by the game recordings, their tactical execution is also terrifying. The chances of winning this match are really slim."
Shadow Killer sneered, "Weren't we always looked down upon before? And what happened? Didn't we make it all the way to the finals?"
Ling Ruoxi retorted coldly: "The opponents in the finals are different. Every single one of the Saint Son team is enough to give us a hard time."
The atmosphere was a bit depressing for a moment, and the Xuanwu guard laughed dryly to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, stop arguing. The boss hasn't said anything yet, what's the point of us arguing like a vegetable market?"
At that moment, Xiang Fan was adjusting his mecha's psychic module. He didn't look up, but his voice was as steady as a rock: "Everyone has weaknesses, even the Son of God team. If we can't defeat the hardware, we'll find a tactical breakthrough."
Shadow Killer touched his nose and muttered softly, "Boss is serious again. I really admire him."
Ling Ruoxi took a deep breath and calmed down: "Xiang Fan is right. We still have a few days, and we can always fight for a chance of survival. As long as we don't make any mistakes, the outcome is still uncertain."
At the same time, a post on the official forum of the Spirit Realm Battlefield sparked heated discussion.
Team Zero vs. Team Son of the Holy Land, is a crushing victory inevitable?
The author of the post made a coherent analysis: "The Holy Son team is equipped entirely with Jindan mechas. Their hardware alone is enough to crush Team Zero. On the other hand, Team Zero's commander's mecha is actually at the Qi training level? No matter how sophisticated their tactics are, they can't bridge this gap."
Shadow Killer read the post and snorted angrily, "They only focus on the surface. Why don't they see how valuable our boss's brain is?!"
Ling Ruoxi unconsciously tightened her grip on the control panel and whispered, "This time it's indeed too difficult. The gap in hardware is too huge. We can't take it lightly."
The Xuanwu guard patted her shoulder gently and smiled soothingly, "Calm down. Competition isn't just about hardware; tactics and teamwork are equally important. We can still adjust. Who knows what will happen in the end?"
Xiang Fan raised his head, his gaze determined. "Their hardware is indeed strong, but we have something even stronger than that—our people. In the next few days, we must pay attention to every detail." He paused, then added, "In this battle, we must silence everyone."
Everyone looked at each other, and Shadow Killer slammed the table: "Listen to the boss, just do it!"
Before the training began, Xiang Fan spoke slowly, his voice as low-key as ever: "For this game, I have a new suggestion - let's try overclocking."
Upon hearing this, Shadow Killer nearly spit out a mouthful of water. "Overclocking? Boss, are you trying too hard? Overclocking is a legendary explosive skill! It's impossible for anyone other than a professional mecha master to use it. It's even written in the book that failure to operate it will directly destroy the mecha!"
Ling Ruochen interrupted with disdain: "Tsk, isn't it just overclocking? I'm a genius, Ling Ruochen, and I can get started in a matter of minutes. Boss, just leave it to me, I guarantee I'll complete the task beautifully!"
Xiang Fan glanced at him and said calmly, "Last time in 'Minutes', your mecha directly broke two legs."
Ling Ruochen suddenly choked, touched the back of his head awkwardly, and said vaguely: "That...that was an accident..."
Xiang Fan ignored him and pointed at the mecha's psychic module, saying seriously, "The key to overclocking lies in precisely controlling psychic power output. The ratio must be strictly within 125%. Exceed this value, and the mecha will directly enter overload protection and be deemed damaged. If you feel unconfident, you can abandon this technique, but I must tell you, this is the only way to narrow the hardware gap."
Ling Ruoxi frowned, "But if this technique fails, everything will collapse. Is there any room for failure in this competition?"
Xiang Fan lowered his head to adjust the module. Without looking up, he said calmly, "So, we must succeed now. Believe me."
The team members looked at each other, and finally stopped arguing and started overclocking practice.
As soon as the overclocking training began, the situation spiraled out of control. Shadow Killer's mecha's psychic module blared, and red alerts popped up on the screen: [Warning: Psychic Overload!] [Warning: System Failure!] He pounded on the control panel and yelled, "Boss, I'm fuming! What's going on with the psychic energy ratio? This is harder than the theory test for the sect entrance exam!"
Ling Ruochen's excitement was even more exaggerated, as if he had drunk three buckets of spiritual power enhancement liquid. "Wow! I can feel the power of overclocking! Boss, I'm going to heaven!" However, his enthusiasm lasted only five seconds, and then the mecha let out a shrill whine: "Psychic module overheating, system forced shutdown." Ling Ruochen's screen went black, and he remained in the cockpit: "Uh... It seems I used too much force."
