The Seventh Base Chapter 374

Chapter 374: Chapter 34 Upheaval_2 Chapter 374: Chapter 34 Upheaval_2 This battle had extremely significant meaning for Xu Mo.

If he had lost this battle, he would have been quickly forgotten, merely a topic of conversation over tea and meals, that there once was a person who contended with the Royal Academy, only to be ultimately crushed by Augustine.

But Xu Mo won, and the meaning was completely different.

Augustine came out before Xu Mo did, his head down as he walked forward while the people from the Royal Academy escorted him, all silent, with very unpleasant looks on their faces.

A dismal defeat, a humiliating loss.

“Augustine, how do you view this battle, and was it because you underestimated your opponent and were careless?” a reporter asked.

Augustine did not respond.

Lost was lost, there was no reason.

Any excuses would only add to the humiliation.

“Augustine, how did Xu Mo defeat you?” another reporter pressed, but Augustine still did not respond and continued walking forward.

Many people crowded together, and just then, there was a clamor from behind as many people rushed towards the back of the corridor.

The media reporters also gave up on Augustine and went in that direction instead.

Xu Mo emerged.

Augustine seemed to realize something, he wanted to look back, but he resisted the urge and continued to walk forward.

Under the escort of Stark Group's staff, Xu Mo pushed forward, but despite the efforts to maintain order, it was futile, total chaos ensued.

“Xu Mo, what are your thoughts on defeating Augustine and making it to the top four?

Do you feel proud of yourself?” a reporter asked Xu Mo.

Xu Mo didn't respond, pressing forward, but the reporter simply wouldn't allow it, stubbornly blocking the way.

Glancing at the crowded throng, Xu Mo was speechless.

It seemed that without answering the other's questions, it would be difficult to leave.

“Why should I feel proud?” Xu Mo stopped in his tracks and counter-questioned the reporter.

The reporter was taken aback, then followed up: “Augustine is the most outstanding individual of this cropping at the Capital Royal Academy, the fifth seed player, considered to have the strength to fight for the top three places.”
“And then?” Xu Mo asked again: “Who won?”
“…” The reporter was rendered speechless.

Xu Mo continued forward, pushing the reporter aside, but still many people lay ahead.

Another reporter blocked his path and inquired: “Xu Mo, as the sole contestant from Byron Star among the top four competitors, representing the Transcendents of Byron Star in striving for a spot among the top three, are you confident you can win another match?”
“No,” Xu Mo replied, to the reporter's astonishment.

“Furthermore, I'm not representing anyone in this competition, only myself.

As a contestant who has been booed from the beginning to the end, I carry no mission or responsibility.

If you want to choose a representative, you can go find the Capital Royal Academy.”
After stating this, Xu Mo didn't heed the response of the other party and continued onward.

The reporter stood still, shocked.

This was the most unique individual she had ever interviewed, without a doubt.

However, it also had to do with his own experiences.

Xu Mo made it out of the crowd and got into the vehicle provided by Stark Group.

Stark Hao had already come out earlier and was waiting for him in the car, eagerly extending a hand to Xu Mo as he saw him.

Xu Mo eyed him warily and said, “You're not trying to back out of the deal, are you?”
“There needs to be an extra charge!”
“…”
Just as Stark Hao was about to express his 'admiration', he was startled by Xu Mo's words, realizing he had misunderstood.

Xu Mo picked up the communicator, a message from Zero was on it.

It was simple and concise, just two words.

“Won.”
“Mm, won.” Xu Mo said with a smile in response, as Stark Hao approached upon seeing Xu Mo's smile and cursed inwardly, “Damn lovebirds.”
…

The battle between Xu Mo and Augustine unsurprisingly caused a strong reaction, shaking Chuanxing City.

Later, after the battle ended, the interview with Xu Mo aired, sparking another uproar.

Particularly when matched with Xu Mo's gesture of pointing his Long Spear to the sky after the fight, it was a release of his dissatisfaction, a signal for everyone to shut up.

Today, on Byron Star, Xu Mo was the only local who had made it into the semifinals, yet he stated that he wasn't fighting for anybody, only for himself.

This made many people feel a sense of sadness.

At that moment, someone commented on the screen.

“What Xu Mo said is correct.

From the start, he has 'enjoyed' unfair treatment.

As the most talented individual in this competition, unrivaled, the animosity from the audience toward him has been substantial.

From the first qualifying round, they greeted Xu Mo with jeers.

At that time, he brought a few ordinary competitors to confront the people from the Royal Academy but still fought his way through, and it has been like this ever since.

Up until his battle with Augustine, nobody wished to see Xu Mo advance; nearly everyone supported Augustine.

Now, what right do they have to request anything of Xu Mo?”
“Even so, Xu Mo's remarks seem a bit too selfish,” another person responded, the two seeming to represent two different viewpoints.

This was also the current debate amongst the citizens of Chuanxing City.

Many felt guilt, having driven this exceptional talent to this point: Long Spear directed skyward, silencing them, not representing your fight, only his own.

Why did all this happen?

He was never treated fairly; he was constantly mocked by the audience, enduring the greatest hostility.

In the moments before his victory, seeing him pushed back and everyone cheering for Augustine, one could only imagine how Xu Mo felt.

But there was also a significant number of people who thought that although Xu Mo was extremely talented, he was too showy and surely very selfish.

Even if cultivated into a top Transcendent, it would be meaningless; his heart lacked righteousness, focused only on self-interest and ego.

These two opinions clashed in the court of public opinion.

At the same time, many were studying the battle between Xu Mo and Augustine, especially those in the upper echelons.

A few media outlets also analyzed the fight, dissecting it to astonishingly find that Xu Mo's ability to control Source Power, electricity, and ice Superpowers might all stem from the same source.

Not only that, but he was also able to manipulate his War Saber from afar, changing its direction.

Xu Mo's talent might be more formidable than anyone had anticipated, but not many people noticed this during the battle.

Meanwhile, the Lancelot Star People were studying Xu Mo's combat, as those who competed against him all noticed his Superpowers.

“How is it?” a middle-aged man from Lancelot Star asked Robert, the same man who had appeared in the banquet before.

He had not expected Xu Mo of the Stark Group to make it to the semifinals and even be matched against Robert.

“He's a Spiritual Cultivator, capable of Object Manipulation, but his offensive power is not strong.

Augustine lost because the opponent seized an opportunity and landed a decisive blow,” Robert said.

“In the next fight, he will have no chance.”
“Mm,” the middle-aged man nodded in agreement.

“In the next fight, finish him.”
The genius of Stark Group?

Unexpected things can happen on the battlefield.

A glint of cold light flashed in Robert's eyes as he said, “No problem.”
In the next fight, he would deal with his opponent quickly and cleanly.

Publicly executing the talent from Byron Star who broke into the semifinals on the Transcendent's competitive stage, one wonders how the people of Byron would see it?

At this thought, a sinister smile crossed the middle-aged man's face.

“Lowly race,” he uttered with a cold, disdainful voice, his eyes filled with arrogance.

This base race dared to disregard the noble people of Lancelot Star.

They would pay the price for this insolence, the price of their lives!
