Shawan Island, Island Heart Lake.
The moment Zhuo Chao's Mecha Giant Wolf appeared, it intimidated everyone and drew all their hatred at the same time.
Yet Zhuo Chao paid them no mind. Every type of offensive weapon across the Mecha Giant Wolf's body activated in an instant.
"Not good, run!!" Everyone's pupils contracted sharply as they hurried to find somewhere to hide.
Wang Hao stood up, wrapping an arm around each girl's slim waist. With Perfect Integration Lightning Step beneath his feet, he flowed through the air and landed atop a large tree.
"You, you..." Xia Weiwei pointed a slender finger at Wang Hao, too shocked to speak. Deep astonishment filled her large, watery eyes.
"It's only Perfect Integration Lightning Step. What's so surprising about that?" Wang Hao curled his lip, sat on a branch, and ate popcorn as he watched the chaotic battle below.
"Whew, whew..." Le Xuan took several deep breaths, trying to calm her stunned heart. Unfortunately, no matter how much she inhaled and exhaled, she could not settle down.
That was a movement technique at Perfect Integration. Without decades of arduous training, who could possibly master it!?
Yet Wang Hao, a mere seventeen-year-old high school student, had actually mastered it. If word got out, how many older Martial Dao practitioners would be ashamed enough to kill themselves!?
"No wonder you're so relaxed." Xia Weiwei sat down, snatched away the popcorn, and began stuffing it into her mouth.
Seeing Xia Weiwei and Wang Hao acting so carefree, Le Xuan truly did not know what to say. Did these two realize that there was a huge free-for-all going on right now!?
"Zhuo Chao, don't get cocky!" Ding Haojie roared. A terrifying aura erupted from him as he gripped the Laser Sword in his hand and charged toward the Mecha Giant Wolf.
"And me!" Ding Haoxuan refused to be outdone, dragging his greatsword as he followed close behind.
"Both of them actually broke through to Martial Master Level Two!" Wang Hao was slightly startled. The auras around brothers Ding Haojie and Ding Haoxuan had unquestionably reached Martial Master Level Two. It seemed their previous battle had helped them digest all the good stuff they had eaten at Gao Xiong's place.
"Martial Master Level Two!" Zhuo Chao's expression grew slightly solemn. Although his mecha allowed him to sweep aside everything in his path, if his opponents were too troublesome, he would not be able to hold out for long. After all, a mecha's mental energy consumption was terrifying.
Boom, boom, boom!!
In an instant, deafening explosions rang out without end. Shell after shell shot forth at high speed, while laser beams continuously fired.
Ding Haojie's Laser Sword danced without pause, splitting apart shell after shell as he swiftly dodged the explosions.
Behind Ding Haojie, Ding Haoxuan followed closely. All the strength in his body gathered into the greatsword in his hands. He paid no attention to the shells whistling past his ears. The Mecha Giant Wolf was all that remained in his eyes. He would use his strongest strike to defeat it.
By the time Ding Haojie advanced to the Mecha Giant Wolf's side, his body was already drenched in blood. He shouted, "Haoxuan, now!!"
Roar!!
Ding Haoxuan roared, forcefully kicked off the ground with both legs, and leaped into the air. He raised his greatsword high, bringing the Decapitation Word Art to its fullest extent at that moment.
Clang...
Sparks flew everywhere as the greatsword slammed heavily into the Mecha Giant Wolf. The sharp, piercing sound made everyone's eardrums ache.
"Overestimating yourself!"
Zhuo Chao sneered disdainfully. The massive wolf claw struck like lightning, viciously hitting Ding Haoxuan's body. A figure was instantly sent flying and crashed heavily onto the ground.
"Haoxuan!!" Ding Haojie's eyes turned bloodshot as he rushed toward Ding Haoxuan.
"So this is a Beast-type Mecha!" Golden light gleamed in Wang Hao's eyes. Ding Haoxuan, a Martial Master Level Two, had struck with his sword, yet had only left a shallow mark on the mecha. It was truly unexpected.
"I don't think Zhuo Chao is feeling too good either." Le Xuan narrowed her eyes as she stared at the Mecha Giant Wolf. "He must have suffered considerable damage from that strike as well."
"That's right!" Xia Weiwei nodded in agreement. "A greatsword's damage does not necessarily come from direct impact alone. Its powerful vibrations can cause damage too. Just because the mecha's surface is fine does not mean Zhuo Chao inside is fine."
Wang Hao ate a piece of popcorn, pondering some information about mechas.
Mechas were indeed terrifying war machines on the battlefield, but after years of exploration, martial artists had also found ways to defeat them with alloy weapons. Calling them invincible was a bit too exaggerated.
Otherwise, the Hundred Schools Competition would not permit unconventional weapons like mechas.
The simplest and most brutal method was to attack the pilot inside through the mecha.
It was somewhat like the old Earth saying from his previous life about striking a cow through a mountain: transforming force into vibrations and driving them directly into the mecha's interior, instantly attacking the pilot, just as Ding Haoxuan had done earlier.
Unfortunately, the pilot was Zhuo Chao, and he had forcibly endured that strike.
"Take these. If I use poison later, remember to drink them." Wang Hao handed Xia Weiwei and Le Xuan a bottle of softly glowing potion each.
"You still haven't given up on poisoning people!?" Xia Weiwei curled her lip. "Don't forget, your Darkness Potion was completely useless against Xue Qianqin last time."
Wang Hao glared at Xia Weiwei. "Xue Qianqin has a special constitution. It's not that my poison was ineffective. Besides, there definitely won't be any problems with the poison I use this time."
"Who knows whether there'll be problems or not!" Xia Weiwei muttered, prompting Wang Hao to viciously confiscate the popcorn from the hands of this Violent Little Loli.
Le Xuan shook her head. These two really were a pair of live treasures.
At that moment, an uproar rose around Island Heart Lake.
"What do we do now!?"
"Brothers Ding Haojie and Ding Haoxuan have both lost. Now no one can stop Zhuo Chao."
"Isn't there still Xue Qianqin? She's also one of the favorites in this Hundred Schools Competition."
"I heard Xue Qianqin ran into Zhuo Chao on the first day, and the two people in her team were eliminated immediately."
"Your news is already outdated. I heard Xue Qianqin was defeated by someone yesterday, and was even taken into the Small Wooden House."
"Taken into the Small Wooden House? What does that mean!?"
"It means, hehehe..."
"Holy shit, which beast actually dared to do something like that during the competition!?"
"I heard it was Wang Hao from Eleventh High School. Not only did he take Xue Qianqin in there, he also took Xia Weiwei and Le Xuan in."
"Xia Weiwei? Le Xuan? The famous Sunshine Goddess and Sexy Goddess of Eleventh High School!?"
"That's right, those two goddesses. I heard Wang Hao had already gotten them when they were at Eleventh High School."
"That's nothing! I heard that when Wang Hao and Xia Weiwei went out to get a room, he didn't even bring money and made Xia Weiwei pay."
"Holy shit, he's the worst of the worst among scumbags."
Xia Weiwei clenched her little fists, murderous intent flickering in her eyes as she gripped her greatsword tightly...
