Quick Slash

With the Pluto Mech's series of beautiful combos.

The crowd's cheers grew louder.

Close-quarters combat between mechs was not only exciting when the opponents were evenly matched, but dense combo attacks were also quite spectacular.

Soon, after a series of moves, the Magma Mech was slammed to the ground with a loud crash.

Puff!!!

The Insertion Pod ejected from the back of the Magma Mech's head, bouncing onto the ground and splashing sparks.

It seemed that under Li Yi's relentless assault, Lin Hua, who was inside the cockpit, had overloaded. The Divine Mech had determined she could no longer pilot and ejected her.

A thunderous roar erupted from the stands once more.

The Evergreen Fairy AI couldn't hide its exaggerated expression as it floated around the Magma Mech, announcing loudly:

"What a spectacular combo! The Pluto Mech's attribute advantage, combined with Li Yi's combat skill level, has finally been perfectly showcased at this moment."

"It appears Li Yi went all out with high power this time, aiming to end the battle quickly and save energy for the final match."

"What's even more astonishing is that since the Pluto Mech started up at the beginning of the competition, it has truly never stopped or rested."

"In other words, Li Yi's active combat time has already reached one hour and nine minutes!"

"Fellow spectators, do you understand the significance of this? This is the operational duration for a D-class Divine Mech, a level that even some mech pilots with two years of training cannot achieve!"

"However, Li Yi will now need to wait for a halftime break, and after Lin Hua and Liang Shaocong's duel concludes, he can then participate in the final match."

"During this period, Li Yi will have to remain on standby for at least another 10 minutes, possibly even 15 minutes."

"In this final stretch, can Li Yi hold on?"

"Now, let's take a five-minute halftime break, and the next match will begin shortly!"

However, the Pluto Mech did not leave the arena. After the Evergreen Fairy AI's announcement, it remained quietly waiting.

"Li Yi, you can exit the arena now. Or, is there something wrong with your current condition?"

The Evergreen Fairy AI floated to the side of the Pluto Mech's head and said softly.

Inside the cockpit, Li Yi smiled slightly and transmitted his voice through the Pluto Mech:

"You can confirm Lin Hua's condition. She might not even wake up in ten minutes."

"Lin Hua hasn't exited the pod yet, how can you be sure she won't wake up within ten minutes? Can you precisely control her level of unconsciousness from inside the Divine Mech?"

The Evergreen Fairy AI was uncharacteristically surprised, its eyes widening.

Unlike its commentary mode, it was currently in "lady mode" and rarely displayed such a flustered expression.

Li Yi said calmly, "Hurry up and confirm."

The Evergreen Fairy AI stared at the Pluto Mech for a long moment, then turned and activated its computational power, connecting to the Insertion Pod's data interface to confirm Lin Hua's situation.

A moment later, the Evergreen Fairy AI said helplessly:

"It seems you were right. Lin Hua's state of unconsciousness is quite deep. Theoretically, she could be forcibly awakened, but considering that forced awakening violates the principle of fairness and could potentially cause after-effects, we will wait for five minutes. If Lin Hua hasn't woken up by the start of the next match, she will be disqualified."

The audience in the stands also gradually noticed the conversation between Li Yi and the Evergreen Fairy AI, and excitement rippled through them.

"Could this be Li Yi's way of breaking through the deadlock?"

"To cause such a prolonged state of unconsciousness in the opponent's pilot through the mech itself, and even control the duration of that unconsciousness, requires an extremely high level of familiarity with the mech's characteristics and superb control."

"This is one of the advanced techniques for mech pilots. Many members of the Righteous Clan possess similar skills."

"But isn't Li Yi from a humble clan?"

"The significance of being the top scorer in the history of the qualifying matches speaks for itself. He could have learned it himself."

"That's right, geniuses can't be measured by ordinary standards."

"In short, he's just awesome."

Five minutes later.

The Evergreen Fairy AI announced loudly:

"Lin Hua, a participant in the next match, is currently still unconscious due to the effects of her duel with Li Yi. According to the finals rules, the match between Lin Hua and Liang Shaocong is now postponed."

"If Lin Hua remains unconscious within three minutes of the start of this match, the Lin Hua vs. Liang Shaocong match will be ruled a loss for her."

"Now, please welcome the Ciyuan Mech!"

"To actually induce a prolonged state of unconsciousness in his opponent through the Divine Mech, that's a skill only seasoned mech pilots possess. Did he really figure it out himself?"

Liang Shaocong let out a long breath.

Given the current flow of the competition, this match was going to be easy.

All those actions, deliberately extending the duration of each match, were all aimed at achieving an uncontested victory in the final match, weren't they?

He knew that if he truly faced Li Yi, he would at best be slightly better than Lin Hua, but there would be no fundamental difference.

He didn't care about the title of champion.

But the secondary authority and the A-class assist module were what he valued most.

He was unwilling!

"Perhaps Li Yi is already close to his limit, forcing him to resort to such a desperate measure."

"I can try to stall for more time."

"Yes, this is the final winning strategy! This is how it should be done!"

Shaking his head, Liang Shaocong, piloting the just-activated Pluto Mech, slowly made his entrance.

Li Yi could actually hold on for a little longer.

But to avoid any unforeseen complications, he decided to end it quickly and win with speed.

As for practical combat experience, he could train that later.

"Match... begin!"

The Pluto Mech began to charge.

The Ciyuan Mech started to retreat, moving in a zigzag pattern, shifting left and right to avoid direct contact with the Pluto Mech.

Furthermore, crackling electrical sounds continuously emanated from the ground. Whenever the Pluto Mech stepped down, it would trigger an explosion and tremor, interfering with its movement speed.

Soon, the Pluto Mech's movement speed decreased.

After several attempts to chase the Ciyuan Mech, it was easily evaded by the opponent.

"Wonderful, wonderful! This move is Liang's famous control technique, Geomagnetic Tremor!"

"Powerful electromagnetic energy flows through the ground. Once a great force impacts it, it will detonate the magnetic electricity, creating a reverse interference on the opponent's actions!"

"This move is also a mech technique that the Liang family can only master at the formal mech master stage. Liang Shaocong is truly gifted, a rare genius!"

The Evergreen Fairy AI exclaimed in commentary.

Inside the cockpit, Li Yi frowned slightly.

He had seen similar methods in his vast collection of memory fragments.

But coincidentally, that particular memory had not been fully absorbed yet, and he didn't have a corresponding solution.

"Hmm, in my combat memories, there seems to be a similar solution."

The Pluto Mech stopped in a corner, paused for a moment, and then charged forward again.

This time, its movement was even more rapid than before.

As it stepped onto the electromagnetically covered ground, it bent its thighs, using the force of the electromagnetic detonation to propel itself forward with a significant increase in speed.

Liang Shaocong's pupils suddenly constricted:

"He actually accurately grasped the direction of the electromagnetic rebound!"

In the blink of an eye, the Pluto Mech was right beside the Ciyuan Mech. With a backhand, it threw a wide punch, hitting the Ciyuan Mech's guard arms like a giant cannonball.

BOOM!!!

A wave of air surged.

The audience in the first three rows of the stands was blown backward seven or eight meters.

The Ciyuan Mech's incredibly tough arms, covered in thick layers of armor, actually showed slight cracks.

The crunching sound was faint but clear.

On the other side of the stands, Lin Guotao suddenly stood up:

"How is this possible!"
