"Just as I expected!"
Ning Chuan stared calmly at the Martial Annihilation Type-Three Mecha opposite him.
Chu Ange is a seven-star mecha pilot, and one of the strongest, almost on par with an ace mecha pilot.
The martial arts technique boasts a power level of 698%!
It's almost 20% higher than his.
However, his Army-Breaking Killing Method, at the Mid Firmament Tier Realm and the Peak Minute Subtlety the Subtle Realm, surpassed Chu Ange's martial arts in every aspect.
Moreover, the Wind Hunter he pilots is characterized by its high burst damage.
The combination of these two factors compensated for the disadvantage in terms of skill level.
Ning Chuan's mind raced, and he blasted off in his Wind Hunter, unleashing the Army-Breaking Killing Method once more.
Ugh!
The ten-meter-long alloy battle gun, imbued with violent Force, lashed down from the air with terrifying power, the oppressive air seeming about to explode.
"What a monster!"
Chu Ange cursed under his breath, having no intention of confronting them head-on, and quickly dodged, controlling the Martial Exterminator Type Three.
The Wind Hunter's actual combat power is no less than that of his Martial Exterminator Type Three.
He couldn't gain the upper hand in the continued clashes.
It will only be a waste of energy.
Physical strength is precisely what the opposing boy has in abundance!
"We must engage in hit-and-run tactics, find an opportunity, and deliver a heavy blow to Ning Chuan's mech!"
Chu Ange thought to himself as he manipulated the Martial Exterminator Type Three to dodge and weave.
Suddenly, Chu Ange seized an opportunity and flashed behind the Wind Hunter.
The Martial Exterminator Type Three raised his broadsword high with both arms, his powerful Force swirling like lightning, drawing a sharp arc before slashing down straight down.
Mid Heavenly Mountain Tier!
Sword Light Slash!
Swish!
Just as the giant sword was about to strike, Ning Chuan's eyes narrowed, and he unleashed the Three Thousand Wind Shadows, causing the Wind Hunter's speed to suddenly increase. He quickly took a step forward, his back brushing against the sword tip as he dodged.
"So fast!"
Chu Ange was startled.
roar!
The Wind Hunter moved without stopping, swinging his right arm and wielding the alloy battle gun horizontally backward with incredible speed. Force surged, producing a sound like the roar of a dragon.
The Five Forms of the Killing God!
The River Severing!
The Martial Exterminator Type Three lowered its center of gravity, raised its broadsword, and with a thud, blocked the sweeping alloy war gun.
A powerful force erupted.
The Martial Exterminator Type Three was immediately forced to retreat by the shockwave.
Chu Ange, with his seasoned combat experience, seized the opportunity to increase his speed, widening the distance between himself and Ning Chuan, preparing to find another opportunity.
Swish!
The wind howled, Ning Chuan saw through Chu Ange's thoughts. He used the Three Thousand Wind Shadows, and the Wind Hunter was like a bolt of lightning, instantly catching up and forcing the Martial Exterminator Type Three to clash head-on.
"Captain Chu, don't back down! Go head-to-head with Colonel Ning!"
"That's pure suicide. With Colonel Ning's stamina, I have no doubt that he can keep using martial arts until the energy in his Force Array is exhausted!"
A cacophony of voices rose and fell.
The duel between Ning Chuan and Chu Ange was arranged several days ago.
Many people know about it.
Not only mech pilots, but also soldiers and officers from other departments arrived one after another, crowding together, numbering in the tens of thousands.
"Promoted three ranks in a single month, Colonel Ning's talent in martial arts and mecha piloting is equally astonishing, unparalleled in the Federation!"
"It's not just about talent, it's also about hard work!"
A high-level seven-star mecha pilot spoke in a deep voice, which drew a chorus of agreement.
They were all aware of how hard Ning Chuan had been working these past few days.
They practiced day and night, like machines, which was chilling to watch.
How could someone like that not rise to prominence!
It will surely become the blazing sun, illuminating the Firmament!
" Ning Chuan! Go for it! Crush Chu Ange!"
Luo Qin, dressed in a tight-fitting cheerleading outfit, twirled a colorful pom-pom and stood on the sidelines shouting loudly.
Throughout July, she helped Ning Chuan by fetching meals and delivering water every day, and she did achieve some success.
My relationship with Ning Chuan has become a little closer, so I can call him by his name directly without having to address him as Colonel Ning anymore.
Glancing at Bai Xiuxiu, who remained silent beside her, Luo Qin raised a delicate eyebrow and smiled, "Don't you think that Ning Chuan making the right choice by not entering the Mecha Department back then?"
Bai Xiuxiu, unusually, did not refute, but took a deep breath and said, " Ning Chuan's progress is too fast!"
Graduates of the Mecha Department of Galaxy University are generally only first- or second-star advanced mecha pilots.
Only a select few outstanding graduates can reach the rank of Seven-Star Mech Pilot.
Luo Qin looked at the Wind Hunter in the arena, her face beaming with smiles, and said, "Summer vacation is only halfway over, and there's still a month before school starts. By then, Ning Chuan might have already become an ace mecha pilot and be able to work in the Mecha Department!"
"The possibility... is extremely slim!"
Bai Xiuxiu pondered for a moment and said, " Ning Chuan's current mecha piloting skills are already at a very high level, but his rate of progress is not as fast as it was at the beginning of the month."
"Most importantly, the martial arts technique, at 70% power, is an insurmountable barrier, stopping countless high-level seven-star mecha pilots!"
Bai Xiuxiu's pretty face turned serious as she said, "However, before going to university, Ning Chuan will most likely reach the level of a seven-star advanced mecha pilot!"
As the two women talked, the situation on the field gradually changed.
The two mechs are no longer evenly matched.
The Wind Hunter began to gain the upper hand.
Under the intense battle, Chu Ange's stamina was starting to give out.
The strength, speed, and agility of the Martial Exterminator Type Three all decreased visibly.
The Wind Hunter, as always, remained unchanged.
Bang!
The Wind Hunter swung his spear, imbued with surging Force, its powerful strike like a meteor falling into the atmosphere, slamming into the broadsword raised by the Martial Exterminator Type Three, sending it staggering backward.
" City Destroyer!"
Before the Martial Exterminator Type Three Arts could stabilize its movements, Ning Chuan, piloting the Wind Hunter, had already arrived. Using the momentum of its charge, the alloy battle gun moved swiftly and powerfully, like a dragon, thrusting straight out.
Sizzle!
The sharp blade sliced through the air with a sound like tearing silk.
The broadsword in the hands of the Martial Exterminator Type Three was swung high into the air due to the previous collision, and there was no time to block it.
Inside the cabin, Chu Ange, with his seasoned combat experience, remained calm.
He gritted his teeth, trying his best to withstand the load of the mecha, and used his martial arts skills to the fullest extent.
boom!
A deafening explosion rang out.
Two powerful bursts of Force exploded from the feet of the Martial Annihilation Type-Three Mecha, propelling it backward like Martial Exterminator Type Three, dodging the stabbing attack.
Looking at the Martial Exterminator Type Three in mid-air, Ning Chuan remained calm and did not pursue it. With a thought, the Wind Hunter raised its alloy battle gun high.
Then, throw it out with force.
His ranged attack skills are truly remarkable!
In fact, fearing that Chu Ange might not be able to withstand the attack, Ning Chuan only used the Awakening Realm portion of his power.
However, its power remains terrifying.
boom!
With a loud bang, all the glass in the training ground shattered.
A ten-meter-long alloy battle gun was fired from the Wind Hunter's hand, flashing with a cold, chilling light, almost piercing through space, heading straight for the Martial Exterminator Type Three!
clang!
The Martial Exterminator Type Three Arts swung its sword to block, but the moment they made contact, the broadsword was knocked out of its hand and flew away.
The alloy battle gun unleashed terrifying power.
The Martial Exterminator Type Three suddenly lurched forward, flying hundreds of meters like a cannonball before crashing into a thick wall with a thud, finally stopping its momentum and falling to the ground.
Sizzle sizzle...
The Martial Exterminator Type Three emitting smoke everywhere, severely damaged, and unable to continue fighting.
"You win."
Chu Ange emerged from the mecha, shook his head and sighed, his face filled with complex emotions.
It's only been a month.
That's how much the other person has grown.
Seeing Ning Chuan approach with a faint smile, Chu Ange thought for a moment and said with admiration, "With your strength, I can imagine the scene of you shocking everyone in the upcoming mecha competition. In a one-on-one battle, I estimate no one can be your match."
"Are there no ace mech pilots participating in the battle?"
Ning Chuan was somewhat curious.
He had been busy practicing his piloting skills and hadn't paid much attention to the mecha debates, only knowing that they would start on August 2nd, which was the day after tomorrow.
Chu Ange, "The mecha debate is open only to intermediate and advanced mecha pilots."
He then explained the reason.
A novice mecha pilot, too weak.
The ace and titled mech pilots are too powerful; there's no need for them to participate.
Chu Ange and said, "It's called a mecha competition for the 27th Group Army, but in reality, it's more like an exchange match."
Many people participated.
Other army group mecha divisions, conglomerate mecha units, and university Mecha Department students.
"Of course, you have to pay a registration fee to participate, but it's not money; it's mostly resources like Sea Dragon Blood. That's why the rewards for the Mech Battle are so generous!"
Chu Ange said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What's the method? A ring battle?"
He urgently needs Sea Dragon Blood.
After reaching the eleventh level of the Vajra Body, it increased by 2 percentage points in nearly a month.
In other words, if one were to cultivate the Vajra Body automatically, it would take more than four years to advance to the twelfth level.
"No."
Chu Ange reached out and pressed a few buttons on the wristwatch, and a screen of light appeared.
"The competition venue is in an old city. It's a five-on-five team match, divided into three lanes, where the goal is to attack the opponent's fortress!"
Chu Ange explained.
Ning Chuan listened while glancing at the information on the screen.
Chu Ange, "Team competitions are different from one-on-one matches; teammates are crucial."
"All five are weak; the outcome is obvious!"
"It's not good if all five are strong, because although they can win, the rewards are split equally, so they don't get much in hand."
"The best-case scenario is two strong teams supporting three weak teams; this way, they can both win and secure a sufficient share of the rewards."
Chu Ange is highly experienced.
This is clearly not their first time participating in a mecha debate.
Ning Chuan nodded and said, "That makes sense."
Seeing this, Chu Ange voiced his idea, saying, "How about we team up?"
"Find three more two-star advanced mech pilots. The rewards will be split 30/30 between you and me, and the remaining 40/40 will go to the other three pilots."
Chu Ange said in a deep voice, "I know that in terms of combat strength, I am no match for you."
But my advantage lies in my extensive experience and ability to devise tactics!
In team battles, teamwork and coordination between teammates are also very important.
Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan was somewhat tempted.
He was able to defeat Chu Ange mainly by outlasting him with sheer physical strength.
If two high-level seven-star mecha pilots team up, he will most likely be defeated.
Just as Ning Chuan was about to agree, he glanced at the screen projected by his wristwatch and said, "I understand the conditions for losing the competition. The fortress being destroyed is clear, but what does 'the participating mecha pilot losing combat capability' mean?"
Chu Ange casually replied, "It means the mecha is severely damaged and unable to move."
Ning Chuan pondered for a moment, then asked, "What about the mecha pilot himself?"
"According to the Rule, you may continue fighting."
Chu Ange thought for a moment and replied, "But that's usually not the case, since mech pilots have limited combat power and can't defeat mechs."
The focus of a mecha pilot is different from that of Martial Artist.
Regular professional training is already exhausting, making it difficult to balance martial arts training.
"For example, the White Team's ace mech pilot is only Sixth-Grade Martial Artist. Even with the Red Lotus Battle Body, his actual combat strength is only comparable to Seventh-Grade Martial Artist."
Chu Ange said.
Ning Chuan didn't answer him, a slight smile playing on his lips as he murmured to himself:
"Fighting without mechs... that's interesting!"
