All Sides Emerge

The Hover Car drove through the streets of Zhongjing City like a ghost. It did not deliberately detour because it was not recorded on surveillance cameras.

It never appeared in the data recorded by the monitoring equipment from beginning to end.

After the Hover Car stopped at the side gate of the Dingchuan Academy, Mu Fan got out. At this moment, the cells in his body had begun to send out signals of extreme hunger, which manifested in the wolf-like look in Mu Fan's eyes.

The Hover Car drove away, Mu Fan plunged into the campus.

At 4 a. m., which was the time Mu Fan usually went to the summit of Little Green Mountain for training, he was destined to break his promise starting today.

The apartment was completely quiet.

If Hei hadn't helped him reply to their messages beforehand, Sky Communicator would probably have been bombarded with attacks long ago.

Mu Fan slipped into his bedroom and opened the encrypted storage cabinet.

There are fourteen Magma Fruit left, and a medicine box full of metal syringes.

After putting the first-aid kit into his travel bag, Mu Fan changed his clothes.

A clean and tidy canvas shirt and jeans.

After doing all that, Mu Fan left the dormitory without looking back, carrying his travel bag.

Taking a greedy breath of the aroma wafting from the travel bag, Mu Fan reached in with his slightly trembling left hand and took out a bright red fruit.

One bite, and the juices burst forth, filling your mouth with fragrance.

Like the magma surging in the earth's veins before a volcanic eruption, the enormous energy began to transform into several warm currents flowing into the limbs and bones.

For cells that are already sending out extreme hunger signals, this is like rain after a drought!

Every cell in the body greedily absorbs its energy.

Mu Fan began to feel a little bit of power gathering in his body!

That's the feeling!

Mu Fan grabbed a Magma Fruit and put it in his mouth again, and another surge of enormous energy erupted.

The amazing vitality and tension of the cells in the body completely absorbed this energy again, without any discomfort.

A fruit that would allow someone with a level 17 physique to undergo intensive training for four or five days only lasted for less than two minutes for Mu Fan.

When Mu Fan ate the third one, he finally felt the fatigue in his body begin to subside.

The cells have completely recovered from the overdraft!

A scorching heat emanated from his mouth and nose, and with each step he took, the boy could feel the heat radiating from his body.

Then I felt the tingling and itching in my shoulder intensify by another three points.

When Mu Fan appeared at the side entrance, there were only 9 Magma Fruit left in his travel bag, but Mu Fan's spirits were unusually high.

I saw the familiar Luoqi Heavy Industries Hover Car, and the familiar driving robot.

However, at this moment, only Mu Fan got on the bus!

He was thrown into the car, Mu Fan's figure disappeared inside.

He had finally reached the final step of his planned work.

Feeling the restless energy brought about by the Magma Fruit within his body, Mu Fan's breath was scalding hot.

His goal was simple—

Extreme Soldier Prototype!

That unseen, well-preserved prototype was the biggest chance for Nuonuo to turn the tide!

I've been busy since last night, preparing to pilot the Extreme Soldier!

The Interstellar Mecha Association is an independent force that operates outside the two superpowers and possesses extraordinary military strength!

Its support can determine the life or death of a company.

Nuonuo had given up on this idea from the beginning, and even the masterpiece that Luoqi Heavy Industries had worked on for years, the Extreme Soldier, simply gave up the opportunity to appear.

Black had already told himself about the penalty for forfeiting.

He will be barred from participating in any activities organized by the Mecha Association for five years.

Every spot in the competition is incredibly valuable!

This plan, which Nuonuo rejected immediately, is currently the only chance to salvage Luoqi Heavy Industries' decline in the strongest possible way.

Those tens of thousands of mass-produced Extreme Soldier, as long as they can win a place in the Martial Arts Competition.

As long as... it passes the preliminary rounds and enters the top 32 of the open competition, Luoqi Heavy Industries will gain a new lease on life!

So, this is the key to breaking the deadlock!

As for how far he can go, he will keep walking until he collapses.

No mechanics, no repair team, no connections.

Because... he also has darkness!

He possesses intelligent life unique in this universe!

Mu Fan opened a vial of Special Medicine and dripped it slowly into his wound. Under the intense pain, the boy's eyes became even more profound.

Wandering through familiar tunnels, the routes are still dazzling. In the silent, deserted underground warehouse area, a Hover Car disappears into the dense passageway as if it had sunk into the sea, leaving no trace.

Nautilus Warehouse, arrived!

Looking at the heavy metal door, Mu Fan closed his eyes, and after a few seconds, his aura first subsided...

Then, the moment he opened his eyes again...

The eerie flame in his eyes finally burst into a raging inferno.

That long-lost fighting spirit!

That indomitable will!

That unwavering Certain Victory to win, no matter the circumstances!

It blossomed once again in the eyes of the boy.

Luoqi Heavy Industries – no one can remove them from the list!

No one can take away the stage that is Mu Fan's first time participating in a competition!

He... was never the prey!

The massive metal gate in front of him slowly opened, and the young man stepped inside.

The darkness before dawn quickly faded, and as the soft starlight shone upon the earth, a new day began in Zhongjing City.

However, people walking on the street felt that something was definitely wrong today.

To be precise, it's the excitement of an upcoming grand event.

The grand spectacle before the main show begins!

Because there are just too many spaceships coming and going in the sky!

These spacecraft, which clearly did not follow ordinary civil aviation routes, varied in size and paint scheme.

However, they have one thing in common: their streamlined or menacing shapes highlight the expensiveness and extraordinary nature of these spaceships!

Several key main roads have been completely cordoned off.

With the military of Landu Star leading the way, a convoy of various Hover Car drove past the crowds standing on both sides.

This atmosphere, reminiscent of the eve of a major battle, made some people nervous.

"What's going on? Everything was fine yesterday!" A middle-aged man, dressed in a suit and carrying a briefcase, couldn't help but ask when he saw a young man next to him looking on with great interest.

"What's going on? I don't know, but I know it must be something big. Look at the guard units on both sides; those are soldiers from the Azure Mechanical Legion. Their appearance usually means something big is about to happen in the star sector."

"Yabo Heavy Industries, Blue Sparrow Company, wait, isn't that the McCarthy Family crest? And over there is a line of Glutton Mecha from Bulei Heavy Industries, holy crap! My god, how come so many industrial giants have appeared?" The young man had just finished answering the question from the middle-aged man next to him when he saw this scene, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

The reason they are so familiar is that these companies' mechanical products cover almost every aspect of their knowledge of mechanical products.

From ordinary civilian smart machines to military heavy weapons, Tank, warships, and mechs, these are all super corporations with assets measured in hundreds of trillions. Their fame is so widespread that it is common knowledge to ordinary people!

Young people, in particular, are most interested in mechs and warships, and almost all high-end series have the influence of these conglomerates or companies.

"Hmph, it's a wonder you even know the names of these companies, which means you don't usually pay much attention to them!" A cold snort came from the side.

The young man who had been earlier looked over angrily, only to find it was someone his age. That person's eyes shone with a fanatical, intense light, but they weren't looking at him at all; instead, they said with a rapturous infatuation:

"The hosting rights for this year's Galaxy First Martial Arts Tournament have been awarded to Landu Star! And these are all the participating companies. The military is clearing the way for them as they head to the registration point! Soon they'll be taking the Earth-Core Car to the other side of the planet. These companies are just the tip of the iceberg, a tiny fraction of the total!! There must be many more from other cities rushing here! I need to inquire about the scale of the events in other places."

The young man, who had originally intended to question the other party, stared blankly at him. A flash of inspiration struck him, and he began to tremble with excitement.

"It's Mecha Martial Arts Competition!! I've been basically cut off from the world these past two days, working overtime non-stop. Oh my god, I need to hurry up and grab a ticket for the Earth-Core Car."

After saying that, the young man ran away in a flash, completely ignoring the other person's sarcastic remarks.

He only hoped, only hoped, that there would still be one ticket left for him to get there tomorrow.

If I can't make it, then the day after tomorrow.

Damn it! Why the hell have I been working overtime like an idiot these past few days?!

He slapped himself repeatedly as he walked, attracting a lot of attention from those around him.

Amidst the excited and awe-inspiring gazes of countless onlookers, another convoy painted entirely in light blue drove by.

When the convoy appeared, they erupted in thunderous cheers.
