There was no one in the command hall, and all the control panels were operating normally. Only the red warning light was flashing rapidly. Ding Meng rushed to the main control panel and understood what was going on.
This was a Falcon Dragon starship. It was unknown what had attacked it, but the main engine at the rear of the starship had completely failed. The engine accelerator at the flank was on fire, and the damage to the entire starship was more than 30%. This was still within a manageable range, but in front of them was a huge yellowish-brown star. The starship was slowly falling into the atmosphere with a countdown of 20 minutes.
Ding Meng immediately reacted. If the starship was allowed to fall, all the contestants would be wiped out in 20 minutes, and the match would end in a draw. This was quite disadvantageous for a seeded contestant like him.
Ding Meng operated the main control panel, and a crystal panel popped out. There were obviously repair instructions on it, but when he pressed his hand on it, he knew it was bad.
A progress bar popped up on the panel. The repair was progressing slowly, at about 0.92% per second. After careful calculation, the repair would be completed in about 18 minutes, and the starship would return to normal.
This was the problem. As soon as Ding Meng's hand left the panel, the progress bar would immediately return to zero. The repair would start as soon as he pressed it. In other words, Ding Meng had to stand by the main control panel and maintain his posture. Once he left, all his previous efforts would be wasted.
The fans also understood this rule.
"F * ck, the map designer is really f * cked up. What's the point of playing like this?"
"It's so unfair. We can't even move. Boss's strength has been greatly reduced."
"Where are the other three guys?
If they come to the command hall and cause trouble, it'll be over. "
"They're definitely on the starship, but I don't know where. It's best if they don't appear."
"You jinx, they'll appear when you say they won't appear!"
There were main roads in the command hall that led to the north, south, east, and west. Moisturizer appeared at the north entrance. This guy was wearing the Tyrael Battle Armor and wielded a blue energy sword. Judging by his aura, he should be an ice-type Battle-Saint.
Harley Touch appeared at the east entrance. He was a big man with an imposing appearance. His eyes were bright, and the aura he exuded was pure thermodynamic.
The Crazy Electric Scooter was the last to appear at the western entrance. This guy looked quite young, but his eyes were constantly rolling around. His aura wasn't weak either, and he cultivated both Body Toughness and Gravity Origin Energy.
The three of them clearly understood the current situation of the starship. The three of them were not in a hurry to make a move. Instead, they stared at Ding Meng.
Under normal circumstances, 30 Battle-Saints Ding Meng would not be a problem for him. However, it was still very difficult for him to deal with three Battle-Saints while maintaining his posture.
"Hahahaha!"
Crazy Scooter raised his head and laughed maniacally. "This is a great opportunity. Crazy Scooter is out of luck. We'll definitely win!"
Harley's face sank. "That's right. I didn't expect the map to be beneficial to us."
Moisturizing Jie spoke in a low, muffled voice through the voice changer on her armor, "Everyone, attack him together and he'll be finished."
The three of them were all shouting "Go!", but none of them moved a single step. They were all standing firmly in place.
Ding Meng suddenly raised his head and burst into laughter.
Crazy Electric Scooter frowned. "What are you laughing at? What's so funny?"
Ding Meng laughed. "I'm laughing at the fact that the three of you are all cowards!"
As soon as he said this, the three of them showed a hint of anger.
Harley said coldly, "Crazy Scooter, you're definitely going to lose this round. There's no need to argue about that."
Ding Meng laughed. "That's right. When the three of you attack together later, as long as I'm knocked away and the repairs are interrupted, the starship will crash. Then everyone will be finished."
Moisturizing Jie said coldly, "It's good that you know the outcome!"
Ding Meng looked at her. "You can use the power of dark ice to freeze the hall first."
Moisturizing Jie was stunned. "What do you mean?"
Ding Meng said eloquently, "Lower the temperature and freeze the equipment. This way, when you attack later, I'll be slower."
When he said this, not only were Moisturizing Jie and the other two stunned, but even the fans were stunned. Weren't you just selling yourself out even more?
Ding Meng looked at Crazy Electric Scooter. "You're of the Hard System. You can use the Wall of Holy Brilliance to imprison me and form a small space. This way, when you attack, I won't be able to move."
Crazy Electric Scooter's eyes lit up. This was indeed a good idea.
Ding Meng looked at Harley again. "You're of the Thermal System. You can use the Holy Flame Formation directly. At that time, I'll definitely be knocked away. This is the best plan, so you guys will definitely win."
Harley's eyes flashed. Crazy Electric Scooter's words were not wrong, but he could not guess what Crazy Electric Scooter's goal was.
In the end, the three of them were Battle Sages. Origin ability users who had cultivated to this level were all old monsters, each more cunning than the other. However, Ding Meng was a seeded contestant, so he was definitely the most cunning among cunning.
Ding Meng had purposely revealed the plan for a joint attack. This made the three of them immediately smell a thick conspiracy.
Seeing that the three of them were still not moving, Ding Meng sighed helplessly. "Sigh, you guys missed the best opportunity to attack. There's no more chance."
"Stop trying to mislead us with your lies!"
Crazy Electric Scooter stared at Ding Meng. "Everyone, don't act rashly. He definitely has something up his sleeve."
Moisturizing Jie and Harley nodded at the same time. If Ding Meng dared to say it so openly, then he definitely had something up his sleeve.
"Ha —" Ding Meng laughed. "See, I knew you guys wouldn't attack."
The more relaxed he appeared, the more suspicious the three of them became.
Moisturizing Jie raised her energy sword and carefully took two steps forward. Ding Meng decisively turned his head and shouted, "Stop!"
Moisturizing Jie was shocked. "What?"
Ding Meng said earnestly, "Brother Shi, the two of them are waiting for you to make a move."
Moisturizing Jie stared at him coldly. "What do you mean?"
Ding Meng sighed. "Of the four of us, you're definitely the weakest, right?"
Moisturizing Jie couldn't deny this point. The fact that he had appeared here with his armor was already proof enough. If you were really strong, why would you need armor?
"So what if I am?" Moisturizing Jie remained on high alert.
Ding Meng said, "Why don't you think about it? If I get blasted away later, there'll still be more than ten minutes before the starship lands. Aren't the three of you going to compete for the rankings?"
These words really struck a chord with the three of them. Anyway, Mad Bike was destined to fail. The three of them would definitely have to fight. Then, who would be the first unlucky one?
At this moment, countless fans could feel Moisturizing Jie's face turning pale even through the mask. Not only was he the weakest, but he was also an ice element origin ability user. He hated being close to others. However, looking at Harley Toutuo and Mad Bike, they were obviously masters of close combat. Once Ding Meng was blasted away, he would definitely be the first unlucky one.
Moisturizing Jie slowly retreated, but she still maintained a highly alert posture.
Originally, the fans were still nervous. However, they never expected that Ding Meng would be able to persuade them to back down with just a few words.
Lan Bing, who was in front of the screen, was also smiling. She knew Ding Meng's ability in this aspect the most. Ding Meng's greatest strength wasn't his strength, but his ability to adapt to various complicated situations. This was Ding Meng's true strength.
However, there were still changes. Harley Toutuo said in a deep voice, "Brothers, don't listen to this kid's nonsense. The progress bar is already 30%. If we delay any longer, it won't be good for us. Let's go!"
He was the first to make a move. He raised his hand and threw a punch across the air.
This punch actually betrayed him because he didn't rush forward. What he threw was a huge fiery red fist mirror image. This was obviously a test of Ding Meng's strength.
However, this fist mirror image was still very powerful. As soon as it appeared, it rolled up the steel plates on the floor. If Ding Meng didn't dodge, he would at least be hit hard.
Ding Meng really couldn't dodge. His gaze turned cold, and a large number of telekinesis strings were released invisibly, building a telekinesis wall halfway. The whirlpool-like fist hit the telekinesis wall, but it actually changed direction, and a large piece of steel rolled towards Moisturizer.
Moisturizing Jie obviously didn't expect this move. She hurriedly raised her sword to block. The steel plates in the command center flew everywhere, and a lot of equipment was shattered.
"Ha —" Ding Meng laughed again. "Brother, look, I'm not lying. He didn't even think about attacking me. The first person they want to kill is you. They want to get the points first."
Moisturizing Jie was convinced. She was furious. "F * ck you, you despicable bastard. I'll kill you first!"
The Tyrael Armor swung its sword backward. A snow-white stream of ice surged out and headed straight for the east passage.
Harley's expression changed. "You idiot, you've been tricked …"
He couldn't finish his sentence. The stream of ice was too strong, and he had to block it.
Seeing that the two of them had started fighting, Crazy Electric Scooter waved his hand silently. A murderous war hammer appeared in his hand.
His little movements couldn't escape Ding Meng's eyes. Ding Meng hooked his finger at him. "Come on!"
"Come on, come on!" Crazy Electric Scooter threw the war hammer with one hand. It flew towards the center like a cannonball.
This guy was pretty smart. The war hammer didn't hit the person, but the power switch on the side of the control panel. He had a good idea. I'll cut off your power. Let's see how you'll fix it.
The war hammer was naturally diverted by Ding Meng's telekinetic wall. It whistled and swung towards Moisturizing Jie.
Moisturizing Jie was in the middle of a heated battle with Harley. She couldn't afford to be distracted. The back of the Tyrael Armor was unexpectedly hit by the hammer. Moisturizing Jie's body tilted and she stumbled into a work area. Wherever she hit, the control panels along the way exploded into pieces.
Crazy Electric Scooter didn't stop with a casual swing of the war hammer. As the war hammer flew out, he flew up and clasped his palms together in the air. Many walls of holy light appeared around Ding Meng. His goal was simple. Crazy Electric Scooter, don't even think about escaping.
Then, Crazy Electric Scooter suddenly turned into a golden stream of light and arrived at Ding Meng's left wing in the blink of an eye. This was the standard Flying Stars Chasing Moon martial art technique. It was at a very high level.
With a whoosh, Crazy Electric Scooter swept his leg through the air.
His leg was still halfway there. The steel plates on the ground were crushed into powder by his powerful energy waves. This wasn't like Harley who was holding back. This kick was truly powerful.
The fans' breathing stopped. How was Crazy Electric Scooter going to deal with this?
Was he going to be blasted away?
