That day.
The news that Ning Chuan had broken the Federation's record for combat strength spread quickly.
Many viewers uploaded videos of that match to the internet.
The mecha debate was organized by the military, and in principle, these acts of secretly filming and distributing the footage constitute a serious violation of military law.
It wouldn't be surprising if they were to go to a military court.
However, the military did not pursue the matter.
They even used multiple official accounts to forward the message, accelerating its spread.
After all, Ning Chuan is, on the surface, a super genius in the military.
This caused a huge uproar throughout the Federation.
Unlike Ning Chuan's previous killing of a genius from the Heavenly Martial Realm, that was merely a college entrance examination in Donglin, a regional event with limited impact.
Breaking records in combat power is a milestone in the path of martial arts.
This is of great significance!
Without exception, all 99 administrative regions were in uproar!
The matter sparked heated discussions among countless people. Even those super-powerful individuals who no longer appeared in the mortal world were informed of it, and upon hearing it, their hearts were stirred and they were quite unsettled.
Of course, the people who care most about Ning Chuan are the geniuses of the same age from all over the country.
After all, they are all in the prime of their youth and full of passion.
"A first-rank battle Dharma Aspect, like a god descending to earth, truly lives up to his name!"
Some people were incredibly envious.
"Taking a temporary lead means nothing; I will fight back and strike back to gain the upper hand!"
"The greater the fame, the better. As long as I defeat you, all the glory will be mine!"
" Eternal Night King Physique, see you at the year-end Chosen Battle!"
Faced with Ning Chuan's record, many geniuses reacted differently: some with envy, some with excitement, and some with arrogance...
But regardless, one thing remains the same: it's hard to calm down.
Ning Chuan, the protagonist of this storm, is still unaware of it.
The competition venue was located in a residential building.
Ning Chuan looked at the ten vials of Sea Dragon Blood on the table, feeling pleased, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
As the mech battles progressed, the rewards became increasingly generous.
By defeating Galaxy No. 1 Squad, the Divine Weapon Squad gained 1090 victory points.
"The winner of the semifinals will receive a reward starting at 1500 LP, and the finals will award at least 3000 LP!"
Ning Chuan considered it for a moment.
The prize money from the finals alone was enough for Xu Shanyi, Zhao Xiujia, and the other three to split among themselves.
Ning Chuan reached out, picked up a vial of Sea Dragon Blood, uncorked it, and drank it all in one gulp.
" The Vajra Body sensed the dragon blood factor and, wanting to improve, its cultivation speed increased dramatically!"
" The Vajra Body is expected to exhaust its Dragon Blood Factor in 1 hour and 20 minutes!"
A notification sound rang in Ning Chuan's mind.
The next day.
As dawn broke and the air was still a bit chilly, Ning Chuan exhausted ten vials of Sea Dragon Blood.
The Vajra Body has successfully advanced to the fourteenth level.
The semifinals are being held today.
The Divine Weapon Squad was placed in the second match, facing the Blazing Fire Squad, whose overall strength was slightly greater than that of the Galaxy No. 1 Squad.
Besides having two seven-star advanced mecha pilots, the other three are all three-star advanced mecha pilots.
Having witnessed Ning Chuan's strength yesterday, the Blazing Fire Squad is well aware that the possibility of winning by defeating Ning Chuan is zero!
The Blazing Fire Squad decisively abandoned the five-on-five team battle and adopted a strategy of attacking the fortress.
Two high-level seven-star mecha pilots besieged Ning Chuan.
One of the three-star advanced mecha pilots held off Xu Shanyi and his group.
The other two attacked the fortress.
However.
They underestimated Ning Chuan's strength.
There's simply not enough time!
The martial arts prowess displayed by Ning Chuan while piloting the mecha was 20% higher than yesterday.
The Wind Hunter' offensive was absolutely terrifying!
Before the sub-fortress in the middle lane was even completely destroyed, the mechs of the two high-level seven-star mech pilots from the Blazing Fire Squad were destroyed.
The others had no choice but to admit defeat.
The Divine Weapon Squad has earned 1940 victory points.
Adding the remaining change from before, Ning Chuan exchanged for 20 Sea Dragon Blood.
After consuming all of it, the Vajra Body did not break through its current level.
However, the strength of the body has improved considerably.
On August 15th, the sky was clear and the azure Firmament was pure and clear.
8:00 AM.
Xia'an City.
The final round of the mecha battle has begun.
Divine Weapon Squad vs. Valiant Warrior Squad!
" The Blazing Fire Squad's overall strategy is correct. The only way to win is to attack the fortress. Fighting Ning Chuan head-on is a dead end!"
After discussing it all night, the five members of the Valiant Warrior Squad decided to take an unconventional approach.
Strengthen the forces attacking the Divine Weapon Squad's fortress.
Ning Chuan was held back by only one high-level seven-star mecha pilot.
Another high-level seven-star mech pilot, along with several teammates, launched a full-scale attack on the fortress.
" Captain Zhou, if you can hold out for half an hour, we should be able to take down their main fortress!"
I will do my best!
"Captain Zhou said in a deep voice."
This was the only promise he could make.
As for whether he could stop Ning Chuan for even half a quarter of an hour, he had no idea.
The oppressive atmosphere in Ning Chuan is too strong!
"Kill!"
Captain Zhou piloted a Martial Exterminator Type Three, its metal feet crackling with Force, leaping hundreds of meters in a single stride to the Wind Hunter. He gripped a massive battle blade in both hands, covered in surging primal Force, and swiftly swung it down in an arc!
Wave Slash!
High Heavenly Mountain Tier weaponry martial arts.
The Wind Hunter reacted extremely quickly, wielding a ten-meter-long alloy battle gun, and thrust it out into the air with tremendous force, the air emitting a heavy sound, like a giant dragon roaring to the sky.
clang!
Sparks fly, the Force shatters!
The gun blade gleamed coldly, striking the falling knife tip with pinpoint accuracy.
With a clang, the massive battle blade bounced high into the air.
Captain Zhou bit his gums until they bled, but he couldn't withstand the force from the gun blade. The Martial Exterminator Type Three suddenly jolted and shot backward like a cannonball.
"Martial arts power at 65%."
Inside the cabin, Ning Chuan glanced at the projected light screen.
It only increased by 0.1%.
However, it consumed 20 doses of Sea Dragon Blood.
Efficiency gradually declined.
Ning Chuan's gaze remained calm, showing no surprise.
on the one hand.
The higher the level of Vajra Body cultivation, the more Sea Dragon Blood it consumes.
on the other hand.
The physical body's defensive strength and the martial arts prowess of piloting a mech are not a constant linear relationship.
"However, as long as I can become the best player and bathe in the Dragon Blood Hot Spring, it should be enough to boost my stats by 0.5%!"
Ning Chuan collected his thoughts, his mind racing, and controlled the Wind Hunter to speed away, chasing after the Martial Exterminator Type Three.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The alloy battle gun ripped through the sky, carrying immense power and unparalleled speed, forcing the Martial Exterminator Type Three to retreat step by step, powerless to resist.
Less than five minutes later, with a clang, the Martial Exterminator Type Three was knocked away by the Wind Hunter's spear.
Then, the gunblade, its power undiminished, sliced open the hull in the chest and abdomen area.
Bright light streamed in.
Captain Zhou sighed, and said weakly, "I'm withdrawing from the competition!"
"Don't stop, keep attacking the fortress!"
Upon hearing Captain Zhou's voice, another seven-star advanced mecha pilot in the team gritted his teeth and piloted his mecha to intercept Ning Chuan.
The result was the same as Captain Zhou's.
In less than five minutes, the mech was destroyed by the Wind Hunter.
"The Mech Battle is over! The ultimate champion is the Divine Weapon Squad!"
A loud sound echoed through the sky.
Xu Shanyi, Zhao Xiujia, and the others were immediately overjoyed, jumping out of their mechs and embracing each other in celebration.
It's not just about the generous rewards.
Winning the mecha battle is a great honor.
Although, he relied entirely on powerful connections along the way.
But victory is victory!
Having powerful backers to rely on is also a form of strength!
Moreover, they also contributed during the process; at the very least, they provided Ning Chuan with a broader perspective.
