"No. Since they haven't chased us out yet, they won't do so in the future. It's just that I keep feeling that if we continue to stay here, we might have to pay a huge price... "Li Lanfeng's voice was extremely soft, as if he was talking to himself. For a moment, he could not come up with a reason.
"But even if we really have to pay a price, are you willing to give up?" Zhao Jun did not believe that Li Lanfeng would really be willing to leave on his own accord.
"Of course not. Even if I have to pay a huge price, I still want to stay and watch," replied Li Lanfeng decisively, and then smiled wryly.
As the number one aristocratic family, the Li family naturally had a few imperial operators serving them. However, regardless of whether it was his current identity or his other shameful identity, he did not have the right to receive guidance from these people... thus, this temptation before him was something he could not refuse, especially if he wanted to become a king who could control his own destiny. This was something he could not do.
"That's why I say, why should we worry about the future? We should just take this opportunity to observe properly." Zhao Jun smiled disapprovingly.
"That's true!" Li Lanfeng laughed soundlessly, and began to reflect on his tendency to overthink. This bad habit had been cultivated early on — it was already impossible to change it even if he wanted to. At this thought, Li Lanfeng sighed softly, and his expression began to blank out.
"Look, the intermediate mecha is moving!" Suddenly, Zhao Jun's loud shout rang out beside his ear. Luckily, they were using private chat, otherwise Zhao Jun would definitely have been chased out by the owner of the room.
Li Lanfeng quickly reined in his thoughts and focused on the arena. He saw that the intermediate mecha warrior had indeed moved, but it did not choose to attack directly. Instead, it circled around the imperial operator and ran quickly around the edges of the arena. Its speed grew faster and faster, until finally, the mecha's silhouette actually became a flickering shadow.
"How is this possible? This is the Light Shadow Glide Step technique that only advanced mecha warriors can master... "Seeing this, Zhao Jun exclaimed in disbelief.
Li Lanfeng's eyes narrowed. Could it be that the operator of this intermediate mecha was an advanced mecha warrior? It should be known that many techniques could only be used on mecha that were compatible with them. For example, the Light-shadow Glide Step was a technique unique to advanced mecha. Did an intermediate mecha have the conditions for him to use it?
For some reason, Li Lanfeng's mind was suddenly reminded of that rabbit mecha from back then. It was clearly just a trainee mecha, but many of the other's technical moves had broken through the limits of a trainee mecha, displaying the maximum power of a mecha. No, they had even broken through this limit... could it be that the operator of this intermediate mecha was yet another outstanding aberrant mecha operator?
"No, it can't be … the rabbit mecha is one of a kind." Li Lanfeng shook his head and expelled the thoughts from his mind. He would never admit that there was someone who could be compared to the rabbit in his heart!
Just as the two spectators were filled with bewilderment, the intermediate mecha circled the stage several times before finally attacking once more.
The Light-shadow Glide Step was a type of evasion technique, and at the same time, it was also a type of confusion technique. It would cause the opponent's line of sight to falter, causing a delay in the mecha's external cameras. However, this delay was only a few seconds. In a high-speed mecha battle, it was perhaps an important opportunity to seize victory.
Thus, by the time Zhao Jun and Li Lanfeng could clearly see the intermediate mecha's attack movements, that mecha had already appeared behind the imperial mecha, and the gleaming black Tang saber in its right hand was chopping down at the imperial mecha's head.
The sound of the air being torn apart was proof of the strength and ferocity of this saber. Faced with this attack, the imperial mecha still did not move an inch.
Seeing that the intermediate mecha's Tang saber was about to cut into the mecha's neck, the plump Zhao Jun and Li Lanfeng could not help but cry out in surprise, "Ah!" Even though they knew that it was impossible for an imperial operator to be cut, in this sort of precarious situation, they still could not help but cry out, "Ah!"
"Boom!" A muffled sound rang out. The imperial mecha merely tilted his body slightly, raised his right arm, and blocked the Tang saber that was about to cut into his neck. It turned out that the beam shield on the imperial mecha's arm had been activated at some point. When the Tang saber had struck the beam shield, it had produced a powerful rebounding force, sending the intermediate mecha flying backwards.
Just as the two of them thought that the intermediate mecha operator's attack would be ineffective, a new force suddenly appeared. As the intermediate mecha was sent flying backwards, its initially silent engine suddenly roared to life. The intermediate mecha used a repulsive thrust to neutralize this powerful rebounding force.
After neutralizing this rebounding force, the mecha's engine once again stopped. The intermediate mecha that had not been sent flying suddenly began to spin rapidly, kicking viciously at the imperial mecha below.
"Whirlwind Garrote!" Seeing this, Zhao Jun and Li Lanfeng once again cried out in surprise. This was yet another advanced technique exclusive to advanced mecha operators.
However, this unexpected move was once again easily countered by the imperial operator. That imperial operator decisively raised both his hands, and amidst the invisible garrote of his leg, he simply and clearly caught the two strong iron ankles of the intermediate mecha firmly. Then, with a casual toss, the intermediate mecha's entire body was flung away.
"Boom!" With a loud crash, the intermediate mecha landed solidly on the floor of the arena, sliding several metres away.
In the instant the mecha hit the ground, even Zhao Jun and Li Lanfeng, who had been standing in a corner watching the fight, could feel the intense vibrations of the ground they were standing on. This terrifying force caused their expressions to change slightly. They believed that the intermediate mecha operator who had taken the full brunt of this force would definitely not fare well.
The two of them thought that the intermediate mecha would stop all his movements. No matter how strong his body was, when faced with such a powerful impact, he would still choose to lie down on the ground for several seconds to recover. However, they never expected that after their mecha had slid several metres away, before it had even come to a stop, the intermediate mecha would move once more. The mecha's right palm slammed against the ground, and the entire mecha used this force to soar into the air.
At the same time, the mecha's engines started up once more. This time, using the force of its acceleration, the mecha pounced ferociously towards the imperial operator like a flash of lightning, the cold weapons in its hands slashing at the imperial operator like a torrential storm. The intermediate mecha could be seen darting back and forth around the imperial mecha. No one could estimate the direction the intermediate mecha would move in — this irregular movement pattern caused Zhao Jun and Li Lanfeng's expressions to change once more.
Right then, they were already certain that the mecha operator operating the intermediate mecha was definitely not the intermediate mecha operator they had thought he was — he was undoubtedly an advanced mecha operator. This kind of irregular movement pattern required the terrifying finger speed required to complete multiple commands in an instant. It was definitely not something a mere intermediate mecha operator could accomplish.
Li Lanfeng could not help but wonder to himself — if he were to operate this intermediate mecha, would he also be able to execute the opponent's almost non-stop command movements? Taking into account the limits of an intermediate mecha, Li Lanfeng found this to be very difficult. Perhaps he could do it, but he would not be able to do it so vividly and with such ease as the opponent. Did this mean that the opponent's control ability was slightly better than his?
At this thought, Li Lanfeng felt a faint sense of disappointment. One after another, prodigies appeared around him. With his mediocre mecha control talent, could he really defy the heavens and change his fate?
"Hey, talent is indeed very important, but foundation and hard work are more important than talent. If you can train every level of basic control to the extreme, I believe that you won't lose out to those prodigies... "The words the rabbit mecha had left behind back then once again appeared in Li Lanfeng's mind. He shuddered abruptly. Yes, his talent might not be enough, but he would continue to work hard. For every level of basic control, he would train it until it was like his instinct. Although the higher the level, the harder it was to train, he had never forgotten his rabbit's warning. This had always been his mental support!
"Don't worry, I won't lose to those prodigies. I will work harder than them. When we meet again, I hope that I won't have to look up to you again." Li Lanfeng secretly clenched his fists. His confidence, which had been somewhat shaken by the intermediate mecha, was once again restored.
He could lose to his rabbit, but he could not lose to anyone else. No matter how monstrous the control talent of this intermediate mecha operator before him was, it would not affect his confidence. He would not lose to the other.
On the stage, the banging sounds of the battle did not stop. There was even some apprehension as the battle continued in an orderly fashion. Even though Zhao Jun and Li Lanfeng could only see a blur, they knew that the imperial operator had definitely intercepted all of the intermediate mecha's irregular attacks.
Just like that, the intermediate mecha continued to attack intensely for about a minute. Although it did not seem like much time, Zhao Jun and Li Lanfeng knew that during this one minute, the hand speed of the mecha operator operating the intermediate mecha had definitely been at a high level. Even Zhao Jun, who was already a special-class operator, could not help but shudder at this moment. He could feel his own fingers beginning to throb with pain.
It should be known that these actions had a very high requirement on a mecha operator's finger speed. For a normal mecha like an intermediate mecha, to complete these advanced techniques, the mecha operator's individual control ability had to be relied on to make up for it. Thus, Zhao Jun even suspected that the mecha operator's fingers were cramping at this moment and he could no longer feel anything.
After that intermediate mecha operator landed, Zhao Jun and Li Lanfeng could not help but exhale in relief. They thought that they should be able to catch their breath and rest for a while now. Unexpectedly, the intermediate mecha had just landed when he began to move once more. Using the unique skill of advanced mecha operators, he sprinted towards the imperial mecha...
"D * mmit, doesn't he get tired?" Zhao Jun could not help but complain. Could it be that the operator operating the intermediate mecha was a robot?
"What if the other's true level is an operator?" replied Li Lanfeng calmly.
Just based on the control ability displayed by the intermediate mecha, Li Lanfeng did not think that the other's true strength was only at the level of an advanced mecha operator. He even believed that the other was probably already a special-class operator, or even an ace operator.
