Seeing the ups and downs of Cloud Summit but successfully completing the challenge, withstanding three times the destruction thunder, the other teams fell silent.
Everyone had an understanding of themselves and their respective teams, yet even the proudest and most confident people, such as the Mechanical Genius, had to admit that if it were their own team, they wouldn't be able to withstand this terrifying thunder that made souls tremble.
In their perception, that should not be something that can be countered by human strength.
What about the two weapons that didn't shatter? They were... purple, or rather, of seven-colored level? How did Cloud Summit manage to replicate those three monsters that were clearly shattered yet still stood up? Also, what was with that terrifying big tree? How did it grow so huge in an instant? And of course, what level was the shield on the arm of that Cloud Summit leader, to be able to counter the remaining might of the thunder?
A series of questions surged in their minds, but no one could provide them with answers.
These questions, destined never to be answered, made the Cloud Summit in their hearts grow powerful enough to the point where they felt daunted.
The women's camp and jannadrah had no need to say anything; even the Ogre Chain and Mechanical Genius thoroughly admitted that, given their current circumstances, they were unable to confront Cloud Summit.
Wu Xiu and Ruan Xiao exchanged glances, both feeling a bit helpless and tearful. Others may not have known, but they did; the Cloud Summit team that came here was indeed elite, even the essence of the entire villa. However, to say they accounted for a fraction of the total strength of Cloud Summit, they estimated it to be one-fifth, or even just one-tenth!
Cloud Summit's main battle team had not shown up at all! Within their villa, there were still more than two eight-star evolvers and more than two eighth-level battle beasts, and there was even a possibility of a ninth-level mutated plant life...
Then there was the massive scale of magic crystal weapon troops and gene warrior corps…
If all of that were to be unleashed, who could compete?
Could the Ogre Chain do it by themselves? Wu Xiu, being a high-ranking and core member of her mysterious organization, understood it best, yet she had to admit that regarding sheer resources, the Ogre Chain might be able to engage in a tussle with Cloud Summit Villa, even if the outcome was unpredictable.
But when it came to hard power, they couldn’t even see the shadow of Cloud Summit Villa anymore.
Cloud Summit Villa had shown a remarkable dominance in the national region, no, even in the world.
Compared to the Ogre Chain, which had a more accurate understanding of the actual situation, the Mechanical Genius, who thought this was all of Cloud Summit's power, felt somewhat regretful and unwilling. However, his personality dictated that he could choose not to fear Cloud Summit nor pay them any mind, but he would have to acknowledge that he was not as strong as they were.
Thus, in the subsequent rounds, the Mechanical Genius displayed a posture of actively giving up.
There was no choice; although he wasn't afraid of a head-on confrontation with Cloud Summit, and even if he were wiped out, it would result in heavy casualties for the Cloud Summit team. But this wasn’t a place for hard confrontation; it was a contest of resources and luck. He truly feared that Cloud Summit might use things like the Fortune Card to directly eliminate him.
To the Mechanical Genius, such sacrifices were not worth it at all. So he behaved very honestly, and even when he approached the Bright Star of Cloud Summit, he willingly paid to pass through, just to express a stance—he, the Mechanical Genius, had given up!
If it were someone else, they would have directly communicated with Ye Zhongming, as they could all hear each other. But the Mechanical Genius was a peculiar person; he privately acknowledged defeat but refused to admit it openly, remaining silent and not actively surrendering. As a result, after completing all the challenges, he lost many of his subordinates.
