Stiffening

The Pluto Mech's body flashed, its speed pushed to the absolute limit.

BANG!!!

A Giant Bear Mech was sent flying straight away.

Li Yi felt a sense of relief.

Good, their close-quarters combat isn't too strong, I can win.

The moment they collided, he had already judged the opponent's overall strength.

It was roughly equivalent to 1.2 Liang Shaocong piloting the Ciyuan Mech.

Facing five mechs surrounding him, there was a certain risk.

But with Li Yi's extensive combat experience, this was really nothing.

The key was how to defeat the opponents using the Quake-Word Technique.

At this moment.

The Pluto Mech's body flickered and flickered again, consecutively dodging the lunges of two Giant Bear Mechs.

Then, twisting its waist and turning, rotating its shoulders and swinging its arms, two types of rotation superimposed, unleashing immense power in an instant.

Upon hitting the head of the Giant Bear Mech on its side, the force shifted slightly.

—Quake-Word Technique!

BANG!!!

A clean, no-nonsense strike.

The force was directly transmitted into the cockpit, and this Giant Bear Mech instantly went offline.

"Good, one down."

With this practical operation, even though it was virtual, Li Yi quickly grasped the rhythm, his movements becoming even faster.

In the blink of an eye, two minutes passed.

When the last Giant Bear Mech crashed to the ground with a roar and dissolved into light particles, Ai Xiao Chi's voice also came through:

"Your understanding of the Quake-Word Technique is very high, it seems your powerful combat skills have helped."

"Congratulations, you have passed the first stage."

"Unfortunately, there are no rewards for passing the first stage. Your next goal is the second stage, please keep up the good work."

"After you complete the second stage, you will receive advanced moves for the Quake-Word Technique from Instructor Yu Hengxing."

"Please look forward to it."

"Now, do you need to rest, or directly enter the second stage?"

Li Yi said, "Directly enter."

"Okay, you have chosen to directly enter the second stage."

As soon as Ai Xiao Chi finished speaking.

In front of Li Yi, five Giant Bear Mechs appeared again.

However, judging by their outlines, they were clearly thicker than the previous five.

"Interesting, by increasing their thickness, they're making it harder to penetrate the cockpit?"

Li Yi narrowed his eyes and controlled the Pluto Mech to charge forward.

Outside the virtual reality training ground.

Chen Qiong Zhi was checking the virtual reality training progress of everyone.

Suddenly, on the screen in front of her, an icon began to flash.

After checking the information, she raised an eyebrow:

"Someone triggered Teacher Yu's hidden training mission?"

"This rookie king has some tricks up his sleeve. Is his talent truly that outstanding?"

After thinking for a moment, Chen Qiong Zhi began to review the specific record information.

"Learned the Quake-Word Technique in five minutes?"

"It seems his combat talent came into play."

"I just don't know how many surprises this kid can bring me."

"However, he shouldn't be able to truly master that Divine Mech technique, after all, although he can activate the Pluto Mech, his overall compatibility hasn't improved yet."

"It shouldn't be possible, right?"

Chen Qiong Zhi was somewhat uncertain.

She is very strong.

Not only is she ranked highly on the Jade Pool (Yaochi) No. 7, but many people on other main ships of the Deep Space Fleet have also heard of her.

As one of the strongest mid-level evolvers among the younger generation, she has extremely high standards.

However, an example like Li Yi is indeed rare.

Two hours passed quickly.

The helmet automatically retracted, and Li Yi opened his eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes, he felt as if he had crossed worlds.

These hidden training missions were too intense.

In each training phase, Giant Bear Mechs with different characteristics appeared.

Initially, he could defeat opponents with one or two Quake-Word Techniques.

Starting from Phase Two, the difficulty began to increase.

By Phase Four, he even needed to charge for seven or eight seconds to barely defeat an opponent.

Throughout the entire process, he also had to overcome the encirclement of stronger opponents.

Because of this, he had already failed twice in Phase Four and had two challenge opportunities left.

Of course, when he cleared Phase Two, he also learned Yu Hengxing's advanced Quake-Word Technique, Layered Vibration.

It was precisely by relying on the Layered Vibration technique that he cleared Phase Three after one failure.

Currently, he needed to clear Phase Four to obtain new advanced techniques.

"Regardless, these two hours were well worth it. They greatly increased my mech attack methods and filled in my shortcomings."

"I just don't know how much the gap is between my current actual combat level and Zhang Xuqiang's."

"As long as the gap isn't too large, I can initiate an actual combat match and extinguish his arrogant flames."

Li Yi's thoughts raced as he planned to carefully observe Zhang Xuqiang's performance in actual combat later.

Beside him, Cai Xiaodong also emerged from the virtual reality simulation.

The young man looked dazed and muttered in a low voice:

"My mech skills are actually this weak? What have I been learning since childhood?"

Li Yi asked curiously:

"Why do you look so dejected? How did the AI analyze you in the virtual reality simulation?"

Cai Xiaodong's face was pale: "You'd better not ask. Asking will only make me sadder."

Li Yi scanned the entire venue and found that quite a few people looked listless like Cai Xiaodong.

Moreover, judging by their appearance and demeanor, these people were most likely from the Righteous Clan.

Looking at Lin Hua and Liang Shaocong, they also appeared somewhat dejected.

This piqued Li Yi's curiosity.

"Cai Xiaodong, what exactly did you encounter?"

Cai Xiaodong had mostly recovered and gave Li Yi a speechless look:

"I'm more curious why you weren't affected. Is your combat technique truly flawless?"

"Flawless?"

Li Yi keenly grasped the keyword.

"Could it be that the AI discovered your weaknesses and focused its attacks on them?"

Cai Xiaodong shook his head and gritted his teeth:

"It would be great if that were the case!"

"The key is being continuously hit with Piloting Stun and then forcibly awakened!"

"It feels like being woken up just as you fall asleep, and then being knocked out as soon as you wake up, over and over again, powerless. Can you understand the pain of being tormented like that?"

Li Yi rubbed his chin: "That's it?"

Cai Xiaodong became angry: "What do you mean 'that's it'? Why don't you try it?"

"I haven't been hit with Piloting Stun either."

Li Yi spread his hands helplessly.

Cai Xiaodong immediately burst into tears:

"You brat, you're a real animal. It's good that your combat skills are strong. Others can't even hit you, so your mech skills naturally won't have any effect. You animal."

As they were talking, Chen Qiong Zhi shouted:

"Quiet!"

"I know some students have been hit pretty hard, and I'm sorry about that. This just goes to show how weak your combat skills and mech piloting are."

"Really remember this feeling of being continuously hit with Piloting Stun. Once you get used to it, you'll understand how to maximize your self-protection in real battles when facing similar moments."

"The Divine Mech is hard to break through. The weakest point is actually us pilots."

"Everyone, please remember this and don't get discouraged."

"Now, take a 10-minute break!"

"The next training session will be actual mech combat pairings. I'll announce the order of the pairings, so everyone get ready. Your combat performance will be immediately updated to your ranking lists!"

"You must give it your all. Only then is it possible to unleash your divinity to the greatest extent!"
