Chapter 185: The Battle of Control (2/2)

As Flash looked at Bisu, he knew that his best friend was in the best condition. Carl’s new strategy had really gotten Bisu excited, and had even stimulated his urge to give his greatest performance.

In Battlecraft Combat, any technique would become intimidating once it reached its maximum level, especially controlling maneuvers.

However, Wang Tong seemed relaxed while roughly doing his warm-up exercises. But he had no intention of taking him lightly. In fact, Best had been mentioning a few times about his extraordinary controlling maneuvers, which were very different from the Kaedeians.

”Is Wang Tong gonna be alright?” Tita and the rest of the team were worried because this match was extremely crucial. Wang Tong’s performance in this round would decide the fate of the Alliance. If he won, their hope would still be alive, but if he lost, it would be game over for sure.

Yet, Wang Tong had not given up, since this was his chance of putting some pressure onto Capth. Moreover, Wang Tong had no fear of players who excelled in controlling maneuvers.

Match three began!

Both players were demonstrating extreme speed in controlling maneuvers. What showed on the monitor was unbelievable, as their deviation was nearly 0.01 second. Somehow, all of the spectators were amazed by this breathtaking scene. At some point, they even wondered if both of them were really humans.

Students of Capth were unable to believe their sights. No one had ever expected someone would be able to compete against Bisu in terms of controlling maneuvers. They wondered how a strong player like Wang Tong could stay unnoticed, and why would he choose to join a weak academy like Ayrlarng.

They even began to feel the intense pressure!

Bisu too had noticed that his opponent was able to keep up with his pace, which was totally unexpected; even Flash was unable to beat him in controlling maneuvers, yet this fella was right in front of him!

In fact, Bisu had been complaining about being unable to improve due to the absence of stronger opponents. To him, mastering controlling maneuvers was the key to an absolute victory, and nothing else would matter!

With the narrow gap of strength between him and Flash, Bisu had always been trying to train himself harder in order to claim Flash’s title as the strongest player. Yet, he would need a stronger opponent in order to achieve his ambition.

At last, that person has arrived!

Bisu smiled, revealing one of his canine teeth as he began to speed up his controlling maneuvers. Bisu was trying to pressurize Wang Tong, wondering if he would be able to keep up.

The monitor was showing both players’ instantaneous data and average data. Bisu’s average APM had already reached five hundred, and was even able to hit above five hundred and ten at his fastest speed; the terrifying speed and precision of his hands were totally beyond imagination!

On the other hand, Wang Tong’s average APM was about four hundred and ninety-eight. Hence, he was able to keep up with Bisu.

The students of Capth were expecting Ayrlarng to surrender after Carl’s injury. Yet, to their surprise, Ayrlarng was saving the best for later.

This was definitely not the Ayrlarng they were familiar with.

Even though Wang Tong was strong, unfortunately for him, the candidate of the unrivaled Capth was the ”King of Controlling Maneuvers” Bisu.

Judging from the current situation, both players had chosen to begin the match by doing a stable setup, which was Earth Confederation’s favorite all-rounded setup. It seemed like none of them would be demonstrating any new battle strategy. In fact no one would expect Wang Tong to surprise them with anything new since Carl had already done so, which even caught Halmond’s attention. However, they were afraid that Wang Tong would also be able to use Art of Carl-ism. Nevertheless, students of Capth were relieved after watching how he did his setup.

As a matter of fact, imitation of another battle strategy would not be powerful enough. The key of success was to really understand the strategy itself in terms of timing and operating maneuvers. Most importantly, this mastering process took quite some time.

It was easy to tell that most of the spectators who were watching the match were quite familiar with Battlecraft Combat, and they had noticed that Wang Tong was forced to speed up due to Bisu’s accelerating pace. Wang Tong would need to outrace Bisu’s speedy hands in order to win, unless he had other tricks hidden in his sleeves. But soon, everyone realized that Wang Tong’s controlling maneuvers had reached its maximum level and his operating maneuvers had also reached its limits.

Both Bisu and Wang Tong had been doing recons on each other at the beginning, and unleashing interfering attacks at each other in the middle of the match. It seemed like the end of this match would be happening in no time due to Bisu’s amazing performance. To be honest, he could have attacked directly if he was hoping to end this as early as possible. Yet, he chose to launch his attacks at the end, because it would be safer since he was unable to obtain most of the advantages earlier. Bisu was afraid of getting ambushed if he were to attack blindly. Hence, he chose to develop a complete fleet and crush his opponent with his almighty controlling maneuvers!

Even Flash dared not to drag the match and fight him at the end. In fact, it would be exactly what Bisu was hoping for, if the opponent chose to counter him with Cloning Technique.

”This seems good for our team captain. He will be able to win if he unleashes his Cloning Technique, right?” Rumi asked. However, everyone else in the team had their doubts.

”Bisu’s APM was the highest amongst the academies throughout Earth Confederation. Wang Tong might be strong, yet Bisu is stronger. Wang Tong’s Cloning Technique is incredible because he has the perfect sense of balance. It is obvious that Bisu will not give Wang Tong a chance to do so since he was aware of that as well. Based on the overall situation, the one who clearly controls the pace is Bisu, and I’m sure that he already has the perfect plan to counter Wang Tong’s Cloning Technique.”

Of course, Bisu would never be controlled by his opponent’s pace. He would do anything to make sure that Cloning Technique wasn’t going to happen.

Unfortunately, Wang Tong seemed to be unable to notice this, and he was still focusing in his operating maneuvers. Compared to the last match with Bernabeu, it was clear that Wang Tong had improved a lot. So far, there was no mistake in his performance. However, it was not good enough. If he were to become a fleet commander, he would need to read his enemy. Yet, he was heading towards the exact spot where his opponent wanted him to be; in short, Wang Tong had fallen into his opponent’s trap.
