Superman Termination Manual-Chapter 449 - 236: The Battle of Octopus Man X Birthday Party (Part 2)_2
Mikaxi introduced the members of both teams with great enthusiasm, stirring up the emotions of the audience. Viewers all over the country, watching the match on their televisions, were immersed in her sweet and delicate voice.
But Blue Owl couldn’t hear. He looked up, his eyes behind his glasses fixated only on Octopus Man standing directly opposite him, who returned his gaze with an equally lukewarm expression.
Before entering the arena, members of both squads had already completed their warm-up preparations.
Microphone in hand, Mikaxi exclaimed with an excited smile, "The match is about to begin, and both contestants look full of energy! Oh—especially our Blue Owl, look at his eyes, it’s like there’s only one person in them. The air is already filled with tension before the battle has even started, let’s hope both heroes bring the audience a thrilling exhibition match."
As her voice fell, a countdown starting from 10 appeared on the big screen, set against the special effects of a bomb explosion. The atmosphere in the arena became increasingly tense.
Blue Owl closed his eyes slightly, gathering his concentration.
At the same time, he counted the numbers silently in his heart.
"One!"
The next instant, as the final countdown ended, Blue Owl opened his eyes and unleashed "Rotary Arm Fist-Guessing Skill," beginning to rotate his right arm slowly and rhythmically.
Simultaneously, Bai Yi abruptly spread his pristine and proud wings, enveloping the silhouettes of the four teammates within them.
Immediately after, the four members of the Bai Yi Squad slowly drew closer together, with Mechanical Vanguard standing at the forefront, Blue Owl in the middle, followed by Bai Yi and the Telekinetic Nun at the back.
On the other side, Octopus Man Squad’s formation was also closely packed, with the members standing very close to each other.
If you had to say, there was a certain rationale behind such a stance.
Octopus Man had considered that if they stood scattered, Blue Owl might use his position-switching skill to swap one of them over, then allow his teammates to outnumber and instantly subdue the individual who was switched.
With this close-standing method, even if Blue Owl actually did that, the outcome would merely be an exchange—one of Blue Owl’s team being beaten by members of Bai Yi Squad while Blue Owl himself would be surrounded by the remaining three of Octopus Man Squad, with no escape, a perfect trade-off.
Octopus Man didn’t think Blue Owl would be foolish enough to do that, but he still remained vigilant and moved closer to the opponent, maintaining formation.
He knew that this rotating arm tactic was Blue Owl’s superpower, a skill where the more the arm is spun, the stronger the force when unleashed.
So, Blue Owl starting the match in this way was undoubtedly forcing them to be the ones to attack.
Octopus Man was aware of Blue Owl’s intentions but was not intimidated, commanding his teammates to move forward. They maintained a certain distance while advancing to prevent a surprise swap and attack from Blue Owl.
However, to Octopus Man’s surprise, the next instant saw Bai Yi Squad’s four members quickly disperse, no longer maintaining a close formation, but instead heading separately toward their four opponents.
"Why?"
Octopus Man frowned, with no time to ponder the reason, he hastened his approach toward Blue Owl.
At this very moment.
Through Blue Owl’s red lenses, the data panels of the four opposing superheroes were reflected in his eyes.
[Mutant Octopus Man: Combat Power C++ level]
[Mutant Diamond Knight: Combat Power C level]
[Mutant Acid Man: Combat Power D+ level]
[Mutant Mud Man: Combat Power C- level]
He also knew the data panels of his own three superhero teammates, fully understanding the power of each person on the battlefield.
[Mutant Platinum Wing: Combat Power D++ level]
[Superpower User Telekinetic Nun: Combat Power C level]
[Modified Man Mechanical Vanguard: C+ level]
Before the match had started, by assessing combat ratings, Ke Mingye had already strategized whom to pit against whom to ensure a stable and comprehensive overpowering of the battlefield.
In the past, there was King Qi’s horse racing strategy, today there is Ke Mingye’s damn superhero matchup.
In his decision-making, C+ level Mechanical Vanguard would face off against C level Diamond Knight, C level Telekinetic Nun against C- level Mud Man, and D++ level Bai Yi against D+ level Acid Man.
Just looking at the system panel, all the advantages seemed to be on his side.

And because of Blue Owl’s "Rotary Arm" superpower, the opponent felt the pressure to attack, compelled to engage in the rhythm they had set for the offensive.
By that time, Blue Owl’s three teammates would each select the opponents they had booked beforehand.
He was quite certain that Octopus Man would aim to take him down personally, and would definitely come for him once the match started. So, the strongest among the opponents, Octopus Man, was left for Blue Owl to handle.
After a month of training, he was confident that he could match Octopus Man evenly in this competition.
At this very moment, dressed in a splendid crystal-colored battle suit, Diamond Knight let out a low shout and his body was instantly enveloped in shimmering diamond.
Facing Mechanical Vanguard charging head-on, Diamond Knight showed no fear and instead transformed his right arm into a diamond-shaped drill, whirling at high speed as he swung forward.
Directly opposite, Mechanical Vanguard lowered his face slightly, his expression grim as he transformed his right arm into a blue-glowing chainsaw, roaring as it met the diamond drill.
Upon impact, the collision sent ice blue sparks mixed with diamond fragments scattering, and the deafening noise swept outwards.
On the other side.
Bai Yi flapped his wings, rapidly flying towards the short-statured Acid Man, dressed in a purple battle suit and wearing a sterilizing mask.
Acid Man opened his mouth and the two "mouths" embedded in his palms, simultaneously ejecting white-fuming acid from all three mouths, shooting out like a net towards Bai Yi.
