What Else Did You Learn in Bailin Country?

Kormir followed that faint sense of danger stirring in his heart. The Dodge Rune had already formed, and at that very instant, the mech suddenly lowered its hips and bent its knees, taking up a boxing stance that looked a lot like a Martial Artist's.

However, the pose seemed rather awkward because of the mech's limited mobility.

But after their earlier exchanges, Kormir wasn't about to make the mistake of thinking, This mech's martial arts are all wrong. He adopted the mindset he'd had back when fighting those brutes from Bailin Country, ready at any moment for a devastating killing move.

Although Kormir had taken up a stance, Feng Xue, watching the AI's countdown begin on the display, continued tapping at the keyboard.

Under his control, the mech began to exert force. In some ways, mechanical joints were easier to coordinate than a human body's. As a sequence of commands came together, the mech rotated every joint in a peculiar rhythm, starting from its feet.

Ordinary alloys obviously couldn't withstand this kind of maneuver. But protected by the Internal Force Feng Xue had secretly poured into the mech, it managed to complete a punch that united the power of its hips and stance.

The heavy punch tore through the sound barrier with ease. Even the shock wave created by the displaced air was ripped apart by the blow.

Kormir thought,
