I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

Chapter 573 Strong Rival

Well, the performance of Wu Shun and the other two made Su Mo more certain that mental combat skills did not exist at the moment.

"Psychic combat skills, as the name suggests, haven't you heard of relevant news?"

Yan Shu shook his head and immediately asked, "I haven't heard of it, and the association probably doesn't have it either. How did you come up with this?"

Mental combat skills, it sounds like something that is not simple. Yan Shu is sure that the association does not have it. If it really does exist, the Wu family may not know about it, but they certainly cannot hide it from the Yan family.

Because Yan Jin is involved in many important projects in Xia State.

If the association really has such a good thing that can enhance the combat effectiveness of the awakened, even if it is not made public, it will tell a certain group of people, and the Yan family will definitely be among them.

However, no.

"I just thought that after a few years, the association should have some achievements in this area. After all, it's only been two years since the discovery of mental power, and the association has already come up with basic techniques like mental training to help awakeners improve their mental power."

After saying this, Su Mo spread his hands and took the juice to drink.

What Su Mo didn't know was that in this life, because the Zerg invaded Blue Star ahead of time, the entire focus of Xia Country was placed on developing technology to resist the Zerg.

After all, compared with developing the spiritual combat skills that the Blue Star people have no foundation in, developing more powerful and lethal weapons will of course be relatively simpler and more likely to be effective.

On one side are psychic weapons that can be used by ordinary soldiers, and on the other side are skills that can only be used by awakened ones, even excellent awakened ones. It is easy to choose.

Therefore, the vast majority of senior executives have determined the general direction of psychic weapons, and only a few are still insisting on their own paths, such as Professor Wang Xuewen of the Association's Research Institute.

But there are only so many resources. After various psychic weapons are developed and deployed on the battlefield, the share that Professor Wang Xuewen's research team can get becomes smaller and smaller.

Compared with psychic weapons whose effects can be clearly seen, mental combat skills that only exist in imagination and conception seem useless.

If it weren't for Dean Zhao Qiangguang's insistence, Professor Wang's research group would probably have to be temporarily closed.

Do the leaders of Xia Nation want mental combat skills? Of course they do! But the leaders can't invest resources in this at this time. At least, they have to wait until Blue Star solves the Zerg problem before they can allocate more resources to this area.

Strictly "..."

The excitement that had just risen in his heart was extinguished in the blink of an eye? What should he do? This was even more painful. Some things were not felt until they were spoken, but once they were spoken, he could not help but think about them.

Wu Shun had also returned and sat down. Of course, he also heard what Su Mo said.

"Xiao Su, tell me, do you know any fighting skills?" He asked with sparkling eyes, looking curious.

He was not an awakened one, and he had tried countless times but failed to activate his mental core. However, his Wu family also had awakened ones. Although they were not from the same generation as his father, they were not far away, and they were all sent to him for training.

Wu Shun felt that Xiao Su must know something to ask her this question. Otherwise, why would Xiao Su have such an idea when even those of them who have been living on Blue Star don't know it?

Unfortunately, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Su Mo shaking his head.

It's a pity that she really doesn't know how. In her previous life, Su Mo hadn't even learned how to train his mental strength, and the few points he had were all tightly controlled by Tao Jibang, the old man.

Looking at the two disappointed people in front of him, Su Mo said, "I thought Brother Yan always paid more attention to his career."

Yan Shu said angrily, "You little Su, do you know how many assassination attempts your brother Yan has suffered over the years?"

"I'm a parent now, and I don't even dare to bring my wife with me."

Su Mo: "..."

No wonder he was taken to Laurel City.

That's right. After the Yan family rose to power, it probably attracted a lot of people's attention. It's not surprising that some people want to get the Yan family's technology. It's even possible that some people simply want to harm them.

This, money is really not easy to earn...

"Xiao Su, sister, you really can't do it?" Wu Shun was also watching eagerly from the side.

Su Mo was helpless.

"I just saw a competition like this where no one used it even in the finals, and I thought the association was keeping it secret. Now it seems I was wrong."

Yan Shu, Wu Shun "..."

There was nothing more to say at this point. The three of them whispered in the room for about ten minutes, but in the end, there was no conclusion.

After the players were allowed in, it was obvious that both owners had lost their enthusiasm for the game.

Principal Su Mosu looked about the same as before.

No one dared to speak or ask.

At this moment, the third match in the gymnasium has begun, but no one in the room has any interest in watching.

This third game ended much faster than the previous two.

The round-robin tournament is like this. If you encounter two opponents with a huge gap in strength, it will end not long after it starts.

The winners were decided early time and time again, which forced the teams behind to advance their game times. Originally, the Xiaman team was scheduled to start at around 2 pm, and they were about to take the field.

Amid the silence in the room, the fourth and fifth scenes began and ended one after another.

It was just eleven o'clock and the sixth game began.

At this time, Lu Chaodong, the captain of the Xiaman team, received a notice that they had to go to the waiting room, as the next game was between them and Team G of Country 1.

Lu Chaodong and his team members left the room under the encouraging gazes of others.

As the game happened to be at this time, the lunch arranged by Wu Shun was temporarily postponed. After the team members finished the game, everyone had lunch together.

When their team came on the court, the enthusiasm for watching the game returned a little.

Su Mo also gathered with everyone to watch how Lu Chaodong and the others performed.

"Actually, our chances of winning against Team G Country are not high." Seeing that Su Mo was interested, Wu Shun said frankly.

"The opposing team's captain, Rost Suslov, is the first outstanding graduate of the academy and also the first foreign student. He is quite capable." Yan Shu also said.

Su Mo's enthusiasm was not dampened, and he even started communicating with them.

"I've heard of this Rost. It seems his ranking when he graduated was slightly lower than Yin Liu's. I'm afraid Peng Shasha will have a hard time dealing with him."

Although he came from his own academy, Rost was now representing Country G in the competition, so Su Mo couldn't say anything.

"Sasha can't beat the opponent. When encountering such an opponent, my request to them is to do their best and not let themselves be seriously injured." Wu Shun said.

Su Mo: "..."

The winner of the sixth game has been decided, and the Xia Country University Alliance has won.

Amid cheers and applause, the playing field was cleared.

The Xiaman team and the G country team have already formed their formations on both sides of the field.

On Xia Man's side, the Bai siblings were in the front row. Both of them were mecha masters of the Yan family, and their skills in operating armor were top-notch.

Standing in the middle were Lu Chaodong and Peng Shasha, one holding an axe and the other holding a knife, and it seemed that they were about to rush forward to fight.

Following behind were Liu Weian and his two companions, who were equipped with conventional weapons and long-range firepower.

On the other side, Rost, who was feared by everyone, stood at the head of their team.

Team G is one of the few teams that does not rank armored warriors at the forefront, simply because Rost's personal combat power is relatively strong.

Although Rost is positioned as an awakener in the information, he has had many records of fighting two armored warriors alone, and even fighting three alone in the round-robin tournament. Although he is a foreigner, he can wield a long sword with great vigor.

Only a few people can achieve such a record in this competition.

Su Mo saw that although Rost was carrying a knife, he also had many guns on him, so he thought his marksmanship was also quite good.

No wonder Wu Shun’s confidence was hit.

At this moment, there were four armored warriors behind Rost, and two awakened ones at the end of the team were standing in a wing-like formation. Although the six people at the back were standing relatively close to each other, they kept a distance from Rost as a whole.

In the surrounding stands, many people were whispering.

The G country team has played so many games, but this is the first time they have stood like this.

"Could it be that Captain Rost was isolated?" Later generations made random guesses.

"How is that possible! Rost is the core, right?" was immediately refuted.

"Is it a new style of play for today's opponent?"

"It's possible. After all, Xia Man's team is quite strong."

Of course, the discussion outside could not be heard in the room, nor did it affect the host's announcement of "Game on!"
