89 Chapter 89

“This mecha…” Noah’s captain was stunned for a few seconds, his eyes full of disbelief. “What mecha is this? Lightsaber? Meteor?? Doesn’t Yun Xingze use a tattered double star?!”

Not only him, but other people who saw the mecha were confused.

The mecha is dark silver all over, with a low-key oppressive aura. There are two weapons hidden behind the mecha, resembling a lightsaber mecha. But it is modified and has more gunfire ports on its hands, which seem like a meteor mecha.

The lines of the whole mecha are very smooth, and the details of the design are also unprecedented. The word “simplicity” is used to the extreme. Almost every joint is hidden under special materials, and there is no easily noticeable weakness.

Even senior mecha fans can’t name many of its equipped accessories.

For example, the head of the mecha is wrapped in a special black “helmet”. No one could tell what the role of the “helmet” is.

Standing like this, it had the murderous aura of a new-generation samurai about to draw its sword.

The reason why everyone can’t tell the level of this mecha is because it looks very powerful, but is also very simple, having a kind of “returning to basic” beauty.

“Xingze, when did you modify the mecha…” Richard was also stunned. “It looks much better than the original, what kind of mecha is it?”

“When I was in the research institute, I took the original mecha and modified it.” Yun Xingze replied calmly. “As for what kind of mecha… I haven’t thought of a name yet.”

I haven’t thought of a name yet.

In a short sentence, the Xinghai team members fell into silence collectively.

Ke Lei opened his mouth and said stumblingly: “You, you don’t mean, this mecha is, is a new type of mecha invented by you??”

Luo Wenchuan knew about Yun Xingze plans before. From what he heard, he knew he was doing research in the research institute, and also working on a new type of mecha. In particular, this new type of mecha is a powerful means to expand the company.

Yun Xingze raised the corners of his lips and nodded slowly.

Everyone looked at the medium-sized mecha in shock and curiosity, completely unaware that they were witnessing history.

The audience watching the live broadcast of the game was also taken away by this unfamiliar mecha.

Many sighs resounded in the stands.

“This mecha looks too handsome.”

“What material is it made of? What kind of fighting method does it have?”

Xi Bolai exclaimed: “Is this a new type of mecha? It can’t be!”

“Why is it impossible?” Cheng Jun recovered from his surprise and said slowly, “With Yun Xingze’s strength, the Mecha Research Institute will definitely support him in developing a new type of mecha.”

Beside them, Bai Jiashi also showed an interested expression: “This time, the game will be very interesting.”

At the same time, the audience found that the “ugly cat” that used to follow Yun Xingze’s mecha was gone.

Kaleb specifically asked: “Xingze, where is your cat?”

“Let it rest for a while.” Yun Xingze replied casually.

Kaleb pursed his lips, and a look of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

It wasn’t just hime. Many viewers miss the “ugly cat” that helped Yun Xingze win many victories.

After the players’ mechas were tested, they entered the field as a group.

Before entering the track, Luo Wenchuan raised his lips and said to Yun Xingze, “This seems to be the first time we have teamed up to compete.”

“Yeah.” Yun Xingze’s tone was pleasant, and then his eyes showed some worry. “However, since this is the first time, can we cooperate?

Luo Wenchuan looked at Yun Xingze without speaking.

A few seconds later, he suddenly stretched out a fist, handed it to Yun Xingze, and asked gently, “Do you believe me?”

Momentarily stunned, Yun Xingze then he stretched out his hand without thinking and touched his fist gently to Luo Wenchuan’s, and replied: “Of course I believe you.”

“That’s enough.” Luo Wenchuan looked into Yun Xingze’s eyes and said slowly, “We are the people who know each other’s strength best. We don’t need to deliberately cooperate, and can also win the game.”

Hearing his words, Yun Xingze’s worry disappeared, and he couldn’t help chuckling. “The opposite side is going to be mad when I hear it.”

The hearts of their teammates on the side: We’re also a little pissed off hearing you.

How can you show your love before the game??

However, seeing the relaxed and happy appearance of the strongest two in the team, the members of the Xinghai school team also lost their tension.

After everyone walked into the arena, Richard suddenly remembered something, patted his head, and said regretfully: “Ah, I forgot to ask, what level is Xingze’s mecha…”

Compared to Xinghai, the emotions of Noah’s team members became tense.

Obviously they are 3 points ahead, but the atmosphere was solemn, as if they were 3 points behind.

Noah’s coach could only grit his teeth and comforted them: “No matter what, you must win the game. Yun Xingze’s mecha is just a paper tiger, can it turn the tide of the battle?!”

A few minutes later, the game officially kicked off.

The rules of the 6v6 offensive and defensive game are not complicated.

First, the two teams will draw lots before the game, divided into “offense” and “defense”.

There are a total of three “strongholds” in the arena, and the attackers and the defenders conduct three rounds of offensive and defensive battles around the strongholds.

At the very center of each stronghold is a war lamp. The war lamps will light up at the beginning with the colored beam of the defending team.

When the attacker continually holds the war lamp button for half a minute without being interrupted, the beam of the war lamp is replaced by the beam of the attacker, which also means that the attacker has successfully captured it.

Each stronghold battle lasts only 20 minutes. If the attacker occupied the stronghold in advance, the remaining time will be added to the next round, for a total of 60 minutes.

If the attacker occupies 3 strongholds in turn within the specified time, they will win.

If the defending team can prevent 3 strongholds from being occupied within 1 hour, they will win. Or, if the attacking team fails to occupy a single stronghold within the specified time in any round, the defending team will win early.

The field of this type of warfare often has complicated terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The defending side has a natural advantage, and Noah Military Academy is also famous for its strong defensive ability.

This time, Noah’s luck was very good, and they drew the defending side.

Naturally, before the start of the game, everyone was optimistic about Noah Military Academy, and even thought that they could win the game and win the championship based on the first round of the 6v6.

At this moment, the two sides have reached the assembly point on different positions of the track.

The defending team has an additional 5 minutes before the start of the match to set up defensive formations near the stronghold.

After Noah Military Academy set off from the assembly point, Xinghai began to discuss countermeasures.

In the end, they decided to fight in groups, with He Haomin and Kaleb as a group, and Ke Lei and Ashley as a group. Because of their relatively strong strength, Yun Xingze and Luo Wenchuan could act alone or as a team.

Five minutes later.

A rose-red light beam lit up into the skies at the position of the first stronghold. Noah Military Academy’s Tiger Academy emblem flashed in the center of the light beam.

A mechanical electronic female voice rang in the ears of everyone:

[Defenders – Noah Military Academy – have made defensive preparations at the first stronghold. Attackers – Xinghai Academy – please, to go to the first stronghold after this broadcast ends.]

[The timer starts!]

The six mechas on the Xinghai side were already ready to go, and rushed out of the assembly point towards the first stronghold immediately.

People outside the field can see the full picture and where the mechas on both sides are, but players can’t.

The audience burst out in enthusiastic cheers when they saw the official start of the game.

However, there were also those who showed worried expressions.

Xi Bolai frowned and said, “I feel like this map… the attackers have no advantage at all.”

“It’s really suitable for defense,” Bai Jiashi said in agreement. “The whole map is tailor-made for Noah.”

Noah Military Academy is good at sniping opponents from high places with dense artillery fire. At the same time, they are also very good at ambushing people in tunnels and canyons terrains, often catching opponents by surprise.

In this game map, there are hills and mountains, and canyons and tunnels can be seen everywhere. There are even dense forests that are especially suitable for hiding mechas.

At this moment, the audience can see that Noah’s six mechas have turned into red dots on the map, and several of them have preempted the shortest path to the first stronghold.

As long as Xinghai passes by, they will definitely be attacked by terrifying artillery fire.

 Players can only see the position of the stronghold on the map. They can only detect the opponent’s position themselves. However, each mecha has anti-reconnaissance equipment, so it takes a certain amount of time to confirm the opponent’s position.

“There are two meteor mechas in the forest path to the north of the base, and a comet and storm mecha in the tunnel to the south,” Yun Xingze’s voice sounded in the ears of the Xinghai players. “There is a lightsaber mecha in the canyon in the east, and a shadow mecha on the hill in the west.”

Luo Wenchuan’s eyes flashed with surprise.

He didn’t expect Yun Xingze’s investigation speed to be so fast!

“Ama, amazing…” He Haomin stuttered in surprise. “How did you do it, it’s like using a map hack…”

“Do you think you’re playing a game, and even plugging in1hacking/cheating?” Ashley mocked him. “Of course it’s because Xingze’s mecha is very powerful!”

According to Noah Military Academy’s calculations, it would be difficult for Xinghai to find them before reaching the first stronghold, which greatly increased the probability of a successful ambush.

But as everyone knew, they were completely exposed in front of Yun Xingze’s detection system.

“Kaleb, He Haomin, you go to the north,” Yun Xingze commanded calmly. “Ke Lei, sister Ashley, you go to the south. I’ll go to the east, Dachuan to the west.”

After finishing speaking, Yun Xingze added: “You just need to hold them back. Hand over occupying the light beam to Dachuan and me. This way, we can occupy the first point as soon as possible.”

Yun Xingze’s idea is that as long as his teammates can hold their opponents back so they can’t interfere, he and Luo Wenchuan can easily break through the east and west sides and enter the stronghold to steal the light.

Not only will it take less time, but the losses will also be reduced. At the same time, it can also damage the opponent’s self-confidence.

Soon, the six people dispersed.

The audience watched them take the initiative to rush to the locations where their opponents had set up ambushes, and were a little surprised.

Xinghai doesn’t seem to be afraid of Noah at all, and there’s even the illusion of “I just want to fight with you”?

Everyone sighed, Xinghai is really a newborn calf that isn’t afraid of a grown tiger.

In the blink of an eye, at the north position on the map, two blue light spots and two rose-red light spots met.

Noah specially arranged two fire-powered meteor mechas to be responsible for sniping. When they saw Kaleb and He Haomin appear, artillery fire from the sky rained down from all directions of the woods.

While hiding in the woods, the two meteor mechas took advantage of the terrain and launched a lot of artillery fire that was difficult to counteract.

He Haomin reacted quickly and directly opened the two huge storm shields, which were like indestructible boulders in the forest, firmly blocking attacks from all directions.

And Kaleb stared at the mechas in the forest. The scarlet comet mecha was like a hyena, waiting for an opportunity with murderous intent.

The next second, Kaleb’s eyes fixed on one of the meteor mechas, and his mecha rushed out like a ghost!

At the same time, Ke Lei and Ashley are about to reach the mountain tunnel to the south.

“There are a lot of tunnels here, and the terrain is very complicated,” Ashley frowned and said to Ke Lei. “I’ll go ahead and explore the road first. The places I mark will be the points to attack. Remember to bombard them at full speed.”

Ke Lei immediately agreed.

Compared with the defending posture of He Haomin and Kaleb, the two chose to take the initiative to attack, because the opposing mechas were not long-ranged mechas.

Immediately, Ashley’s shadow mecha captured the opponents’ location in a hidden state and marked it on the map.

Ke Lei jumped up. Like a giant tank in the air, the dazzling particle cannon “boomed”, attacking the Noah mecha.

The Noah players did not expect that after a morning of desperate struggle, Xinghai could still have such a strong explosive force, and were caught off guard for a while.

They originally had the advantage in the north and south sides with the terrain, but they almost fell!

“Fuck,” Noah’s coach saw this scene on the sidelines, and immediately became anxious. “How could they judge so accurately?!”

It was as if they knew their arrangement in advance!

Before he had time to worry about the battle situation in the north and south, he saw that the east and west sides also began to fight.

Yun Xingze’s mecha was extremely fast. He first observed in front of the canyon in the east for a while, and then quickly climbed up the cliff.

The audience collectively exclaimed.

It’s okay if Yun Xingze’s “unknown mecha” is fast, but it also has a powerful climbing ability, and can easily and steadily climb a cliff!

Mechas are astonishingly heavy things!

“His mecha… is this too defiant?!” Oriel’s eyes widened in shock. “This climbing action is almost no different from a human’s climbing action!”

Stunned, Richard also stared at Yun Xingze. After a while, he said incredulously, “This is… the integration of man and machine?”

Yun Xingze skillfully operated the mecha, as if his nerves and limbs were integrated with the mecha. The mecha climbed very quickly, and Richard, who had seen many mechas, was also dumbfounded.

That’s right, when Yun Xingze was separated from his teammates, he successfully entered the state of human-machine integration.

But he knew it wasn’t because of a desire to win.

But because of a sense of responsibility.

He has to win the game for his teammates, for himself, for Dachuan…

The lightsaber mecha in the east was driven by Noah’s captain.

The lightsaber mecha is the most ergonomic and the most flexible mecha in this type of precipitous terrain, and it’s ability to stop the opponent is deadly.

However, before Noah’s captain made his move, Yun Xingze’s “unknown” mecha was already climbing towards him.

The lightsaber mecha quickly shot several particle cannons, trying to stop Yun Xingze’s advance.

But he didn’t expect that Yun Xingze escaped effortlessly, and even increased his speed!

In the next second, Yun Xingze’s “unknown” mecha successfully climbed to the top of the canyon, leapt up, and launched an attack on the lightsaber mecha without the slightest pause!

The two mechas went head-to-head and fought hard.

Yun Xingze finally pulled out the weapons on his back – two long sharp light knives.

The knives are wider, heavier, and more powerful than a lightsaber, but also less flexible.

However, in Yun Xingze’s hands these two light knives were like the knives of warriors. In a matter of seconds, a set of knife skills flowing like clouds and flowing water made a clanging sound in the air, shocking the hearts of everyone!

Noah’s captain didn’t put Yun Xingze in his eyes at first, but after this initial confrontation, he actually fell behind.

One should know that no mecha can compare to the lightsaber mecha in close combat.

What’s more, Yun Xingze didn’t use any tricks, and he didn’t use the mechanical beast…

He completely relied on pure power to force his SS+ level opponent back more than ten meters!

“This…” Noah’s coach was so shocked that he couldn’t speak. “This is too f*cking…”

After a while, he spit out a complete sentence: “Wasn’t Yun Xingze an A-level player before?!”

Even if his strength has improved after cutting his glands, it is impossible to compete with SS+ mechas!

The audience was also frightened by this scene, and they even felt that…

Yun Xingze’s current strength is not inferior to Luo Wenchuan!

Is this really possible?!

In the next second, a shocking scene unfolded, seeming to prove everyone’s suspicion.

After the lightsaber mecha was forced to retreat, in order to prevent Yun Xingze from continuing towards the stronghold, Noah’s captain also entered the state of human-machine integration, holding the lightsaber at an extremely strange angle, and attacking the “unknown” mecha.

Yun Xingze not only did not hide, but even took the initiative to fight back.

A few meters away from his opponent, Yun Xingze put away two long light knives.

Everyone’s eyes widened immediately – what is this for?!

“It’s time to show the next function.” Yun Xingze raised his lips as he controlled his new mecha, making a punching motion. “A new attack method from another world.”

The right hand of the mecha was clenched tight into a fist, pulling back and then fiercely rushing toward his opponent.

The audience were all confused by Yun Xingze’s actions.

He can’t hit anyone at this distance?

Even Noah’s captain showed contempt.

Whaddya think YXZ’s mecha’s gonna do? Props to the reader who guesses correctly (without reading ahead!)

-k

P.S. And kudos to all of you for your close guesses on it being an airwave + punch of sorts. No disconnected mecha arms though.

However, his contempt didn’t last for half a second, and quickly turned into surprise and panic.

When the fist swung out, the back of the fist suddenly lit up, and the dazzling light made everyone feel a sense of prestige.

The next moment, after the fist of the new mecha swung out, countless tiny particle cannons condensed in the air, forming the shape of a fist, and flying towards the lightsaber mecha!

Because of the punching speed, coupled with the ultra-high speed of the particle cannons, it was too late for Noah’s captain to dodge the fist formed from the particle cannon and punching motion, and the fist landed on his shoulder.

If it weren’t for his quick reaction, this punch would have hit him in the neck!

However, at this time, Yun Xingze raised the other fist…

The speed of the lightsaber mecha suddenly stopped, as he hurriedly looked for a direction to dodge.

In response, Yun Xingze’s new mecha flexibly adjusted its position, and the fists drawn in the air turned into artillery fire. These artillery fires had extremely clear trajectories and could even turn.

In a short while, Noah’s captain was beaten profusely and completely fell into a passive state.

“My god–” Even the normally calm Cheng Jun was shocked, his eyes bulging like copper bells, as he stared dumbfounded. “This is f*cking… it’s too cool!!”

Compared with a fistful of artillery fire, this kind of lethality and combat special effects are something that only exist in games.

The mecha enthusiasts present were boiling with excitement!

“Fuck, what kind of move is this?!”

“It’s so beautiful! Damn, I really want to see this artillery fire with my own eyes!”

“Isn’t this a move from ancient earth martial arts novels? What’s it called? Qigong??”

“Damn, what level is this mecha?!”

As if to entertain the audience further, Yun Xingze controlled the mecha to make a set of combos. Afterimages formed from the first artillery, more cool and beautiful than a meteor mecha’s firepower, and directly made the lightsaber mecha fall into the canyon.

If it weren’t for the opponent having SS+ level strength, and was able to grab the rocks on the cliffs of the canyon, it would have caused heavy damage.

Like the rest of the audience, Xi Bolai stood up and watched the live broadcast on the big screen. The hot-blooded young man naturally admired such a gorgeous, powerful move, and said in a trembling voice, “This mecha… I want one too!”

Bai Jiashi, who had always laughed at Xi Bolai’s naiveness, couldn’t help swallowing at this moment.

Such a cool mecha, can they really have it? The difficulty of operation doesn’t feel like it’ll be any less than a SS-level mecha…

“Wait,” Bai Jiashi’s eyes widened. “Yun Xingze’s strength… Could he have broken through SS?!”

Cheng Jun and Xi Bolai were also shocked when they heard his words.

At this moment, there was a burst of exclamation from the audience,

“Yun Xingze and Luo Wenchuan have reached the base!”

As the north and south sides were fighting hard, with a clear victor hard to determine, the east and west sides were easily broken.

The two meteor mechas in the north wanted to escape and go to the stronghold to stop their opponents, but they were directly blocked by He Haomin.

He raised the stormwind electromagnetic axe and sneered. “Want to go to support? You really don’t take us seriously.”

The comet and storm mechas in the south also planned to leave and go back up the stronghold, however, Ke Lei rudely tossed a few deceleration grenades towards them. Ashley then suddenly appeared in front of them, raised her lips, and said through the loudspeaker system: “You can’t disturb the two-person world of Captain and Xingxing.”

Opponents: “…”

Ke Lei continued to rain artillery down. “Even we don’t dare to disturb them. You guys should just be honest!”

Opponents: “…” Damn, I have never suffered such grievances before!

Yun Xingze and Luo Wenchuan met in front of the stronghold.

The stronghold is a square camp with a war lamp in the middle.

Luo Wenchuan looked at the boy opposite and raised the corners of his lips.

“You are five seconds slower than me.”

“I showed them some functions of the new mecha,” Yun Xingze said with some dissatisfaction. “Otherwise, I should be at least ten seconds earlier than you.”

Luo Wenchuan didn’t argue with him. “I’m afraid Noah’s people will recover soon, and will come over soon. Let’s light the lamp.”

Yun Xingze controlled the mecha, entered the stronghold, and suddenly looked at Luo Wenchuan. “Do you want to light it or should I?”

Luo Wenchuan thought for a while, and said to Yun Xingze, “Let’s do rock, paper, scissors.”

Yun Xingze thought this method was good, so he stretched out the fist that he had just punched out, and faced Luo Wenchuan. “Rock, paper, scissors…”

“Wait, this round doesn’t count, two wins in three.”

“…”

“You win,” Luo Wenchuan’s voice sounded, with a bit of pampering in his tone. “Youth, go light up the lamp.”

Their teammates who heard these words fell into a collective silence.

The sour smell of love!

Kaleb gritted his teeth and said: “Hey, the mechas playing rock, paper, scissors in the finals, are you going too far?!”

Yun Xingze raised his lips, entered the stronghold, controlled the mecha’s fingers, and pressed down on the button.

As long as he persists for half a minute, they can successfully occupy the first stronghold.

This is Yun Xingze’s first time participating in an official 6v6, and it is also his first game after returning to the arena, so this act of lighting up the lamp is of extraordinary significance to him.

However, Noah Academy aren’t vegetarians either. After adjusting their status, the mechas on the north and south came to stop Yun Xingze.

However, when Noah’s captain came to the front of the stronghold, he saw Luo Wenchuan pulling out his lightsaber in advance and attacking them with an irresistible force!

After several exchanges, the two mechas were stubbornly blocked from the stronghold, and they could only watch Yun Xingze continue to light up the lights.

“Luo Wenchuan! You let me in, I want to PK with Yun Xingze!” Noah’s captain, who was beaten up by Yun Xingze, said angrily at the moment. “I don’t want to fight you!”

Luo Wenchuan pointed his sword straight at him, and said coldly,

“He’s lighting the lamp, don’t disturb him.”

His tone was like saying, “My wife is playing with toys, don’t bother him.”

The other opponent was dumbfounded and shouted with a red face: “Then what are we going to do, cheer him on?!”

He couldn’t bear the humiliation and wanted to directly attack Yun Xingze who was lighting the lamp.

In the next second, Yun Xingze lit the lamp with one hand, and swung the other hand to the side casually, and an orange-golden fist particle cannon hit the opposing party.

Luo Wenchuan took the opportunity to chop him to the ground.

The two cooperated flawlessly.

After Luo Wenchuan saw the artillery fire, he showed his eyes of approval, turned around and said to Yun Xingze: “Your new mecha is very successful.”

“It’s okay,” Yun Xingze’s mecha sat cross-legged on the ground, giving the man the appearance he was practicing yoga, as he said without turning his head, “I originally wanted to shoot a Tathagata Palm1Xianxia/Wuxia reference to a strong palm attack, it’ll have wait till the next time.”

The two seemed to be chatting at home, and they didn’t put Noah’s captain in their eyes at all.

Noah’s captain: “…”

He still wanted to struggle, however, just as he turned his head and didn’t have time to do anything, Luo Wenchuan, who was talking to Yun Xingze with a smile a second ago, was already driving his lightsaber mecha to attack.

“Bang—”

Luo Wenchuan kicked him directly to the ground!

After doing this, Luo Wenchuan looked back at Yun Xingze, and chuckled lightly. “Tathagata’s Palm? What is that? It sounds very powerful.”

Noah’s captain: “…”

He really wanted to ask: Does my existence affect your chatting?

At this time, the rose-red light beam was extinguished and replaced by a blue light beam.

In the light beam, the shield coat of arms with a sea of ​​stars flashed.

The blue light pierced straight into the sky, indicating that the first stronghold was occupied.

The icy female machine voice sounded:

[The attacker – the Xinghai Military Academy team – successfully occupied the first stronghold. It took 13 minutes and 21 seconds, and the remaining time is automatically added to the next round.]

[Players please go to the next gathering point, and the second round of offense and defense will begin ten minutes later.]

Yun Xingze stood up, and his new mecha walked over to Luo Wenchuan and stretched out a fist.

Noah’s captain, who was lying on the ground, trembled subconsciously.

Luo Wenchuan hooked his lips, put away his lightsaber, stretched out his mecha fist and tapped him lightly.

Noah’s captain: “…”

He thought to himself: I thought he was going to hit me.

Lol. YXZ’s goal of ‘special attacks’ and the dogfood…

 As soon as the first round of competition was over, the students watching the competition on the school grounds in Xinghai Academy were super excited. Almost everyone seemed to burst out shouting, “Xinghai is awesome”.

At the same time, as predicted by Xi Bolai, Yun Xingze and his mecha entered the hot search list.

Everyone’s eyes were attracted by Yun Xingze’s new mecha.

The number of people who entered the live room to watch the second round quickly broke a record high!

Even the Alliance next door broadcast the game for the first time – albeit through piracy.

For this reason, the people of the Alliance were complaining:

“Why don’t you buy the copyright of NCLM? This is too much!”

“I have friends from the Empire, and have already got the recording of the game, does anyone want it?”

“Upstairs! I want to buy it! It just got stuck when I was watching Xingze’s game just now!”

“I want to watch it too!”

Everyone couldn’t wait to watch several times just for the gorgeous special effects of the new mecha.

In the second round of offensive and defensive battle, the terrain was still complicated, but no one felt that Noah Military Academy had an advantage.

The audience’s attention was all on Yun Xingze. Even those who supported Noah’s school team were now distracted by the new mecha.

Ming Xiao sat with the other researchers in the lounge with a look of anticipation and pain.

“I really hope my alma mater, Noah, can win, but this is the first show of Xingze’s new mecha… I’m so confused!”

“Don’t worry about it.” Eugene comfortingly patted Ming Xiao’s shoulder. “Dean Cheng and Professor Jin Xuan have gone to the scene to support Xingze with the banner of ‘Xinghai must win’, so we don’t need to do anything else.”

Carrying the guilt of “betraying” his alma mater, Ming Xiao said tearfully: “Actually, from a rational point of view, it is impossible for Noah to win…”

It’s not that he is pessimistic, but because he knows that Yun Xingze’s new mecha…

Has even more terrifying abilities hidden.

After the fiasco in the first round, Noah quickly adjusted their strategy, allowing everyone to respond flexibly to any attacks, and try to focus on Luo Wenchuan and Yun Xingze as much as possible.

This time, instead of spreading out far away to lay ambush, they retained a certain distance between their teammates so they could quickly support each other.

After Yun Xingze arranged tasks for his teammates, he soon noticed that the opponent’s formation was changing.

They seemed to be paying extra attention to his movements.

This was expected by Yun Xingze.

“If I guessed correctly…” Yun Xingze raised his lips and said slowly, “Those two meteor mechas with full firepower should have been sent to encircle me.”

Facing Yun Xingze’s “artillery fist”, Noah came up with a way to deal with it, namely, use the storm mecha to block the damage, and use meteor mechas to counterattack.

Ke Lei asked worriedly, “Xingze, can you handle it?”

The other Xinghai players didn’t see Yun Xingze’s performance in the earlier battle, so they were naturally worried.

“No problem.” Yun Xingze said lightly. “I’m ready, you can do what you want.”

Teammates: “…”

Luo Wenchuan: “I’ll wait for you at the base.”

Sure enough, Yun Xingze was soon approached by two meteor mechas and a storm mecha. These three mechas took advantage of the terrain and hid in the hills, intending to knock Yun Xingze down halfway up the mountain.

The moment Yun Xingze’s new mecha appeared, artillery fire all over the sky rained down from the skies, like dazzling daytime shooting stars.

Yun Xingze whispered: “This firepower… how much do you hate me?”

At the same time, Noah’s storm mecha opened a shield in front to prevent Yun Xingze’s strange fist artillery from attacking.

“It’s time to show the next function.”

After Yun Xingze finished speaking, he found a place with the most intense artillery fire, and pulled out two light knives.

The audience was once again taken aback.

Yun Xingze didn’t hide, is he courting death?!

However…

Just when the players of Noah Military Academy thought that Yun Xingze had given up struggling, they suddenly saw Yun Xingze crossing two light knives in front of him.

At the moment of contact, the light knives burst into a shimmer, and then quickly formed a rock-solid protective net!

“I’ll let you all feel,” Yun Xingze raised his lips, facing the sky-filled artillery fire without flinching, “a remote barrier from another world.”

Densely packed artillery fell on the protective light knife barrier, but failed to destroy this net in the slightest!

Noah’s players were collectively dumbfounded.

After a long while, one of the opposing meteor mecha players trembled and asked: “This mecha… I’m afraid it has reached SSS-level?”

Noah’s storm mecha player immediately retorted: “That’s impossible! How many SSS mechas are there across the entire empire? At best, it’s SS+… Don’t panic, the Mecha Research Institute must’ve provided this kid with some advanced technologies. We can still win!”

On the other side, the enraptured audience were speaking in loud voices.

“This…” In the auditorium, Jin Xuan stared at this scene, and her eyes widened. “How is this done?!”

Although Yun Xingze completed the design of the new mecha in the research institute, he never demonstrated this feature before!

It’s as if… he was so familiar with the mecha he built that he didn’t need to test it at all.

Cheng Yuan stared at the live broadcast screen for a long time, and finally said: “This is made by the magnetic field formed from the particles emitted from the light knife, which move at super high speed in the air to form an indestructible particle shield…”

“How is that possible?! “Jin Xuan was stunned stupid. “Magnetic fields can only confine particles. Once the confinement is lifted, the particles will either be withdrawn or escape directly. How can a light shield be formed?!”

Cheng Yuan’s forehead began to bead with sweat. Swallowing, he said with a hoarse voice: “This… this is probably another technology that is ahead of the times.”

Yun Xingze proved once again that he is a rare genius.

“The rating of this mecha,” Jin Xuan stared blankly at the unscathed mecha, and said in a trembling voice, “I’m afraid, I’m afraid it has already exceeded our rating system, right?”

Cheng Yuan, who had been watching the game intently, smiled bitterly, and slowly nodded.

Everyone is guessing whether this mecha is SS+ or SSS.

Only Jin Xuan and Cheng Yuan knew that their current rating system was completely unable to rate Yun Xingze’s mecha.

“It’s like asking ancient people to evaluate modern high-tech.” Cheng Yuan’s tone was both admirable and somewhat self-deprecating. “How can we be qualified to rate this mecha?”

The second after Cheng Yuan’s voice fell, Yun Xingze saw that the opponent’s firepower had been spent almost, so he directly picked up two light knives and shuttled between the mountains and forests.

The unconvinced storm mecha player rushed up and stood in front of Yun Xingze, unfolding its storm shield with a sneer. “Isn’t it just a shield, who doesn’t have one?”

“Bang—”

A huge voice sounded, echoing through the mountains and forests.

After that, the audience fell into an eerie silence.

The indestructible SS-level storm shield was easily cut in half by Yun Xingze with a light knife.

Like slicing through a piece of glass.

Sorry, this release is a little short. The next one’s a full chapter, and then 2 more looong chapters.
