Translator: H2dH2mr Editor: H2dH2mr Qiao Ting looked coldly at Zhao Jun and the other two who had surrounded his team members. The control skills of Lingtian No.4 and No.5 could only be said to be passable. They had probably not been in the same team before, so there was no rapport between them at all. This was also why his team members were not at a disadvantage against the two opponents. Meanwhile, Zhao Jun was also purposefully guiding them. Although his tone was harsh, he did not attack, and his words were extremely targeted at the mistakes of the other two.
Seeing that Zhao Jun's attention was already on the three battling mecha, Qiao Ting knew that his chance had come!
Although Qiao Ting was confident that he could easily defeat Zhao Jun in a direct attack and obtain victory, it might take a little longer. Qiao Ting did not want to waste time, so he chose a method that could kill the opponent in one move. That was to ambush and kill Zhao Jun when he was unprepared.
Without preparation, a special-class mecha would not be able to withstand a single attack from an ace mecha. What Qiao Ting sought was precisely this type of high-efficiency attack.
On the battlefield, Zhao Jun and the other two were completely oblivious to the impending danger, but the spectating cadets could see very clearly that Qiao Ting had already silently pulled out his beam saber, ready to attack like a cheetah about to pounce on the hunt.
That special-class mecha of Lingtian was in danger! This answer rose in everyone's minds at the same time. Faced with an ace operator's sneak attack, they could not imagine how a defenseless special-class mecha could survive.
It could be said that the crucial moment to determine the outcome of this match was about to arrive...
Right then, Qiao Ting, who had long been prepared to attack, had his eyes light up. Like a cheetah on the hunt, he suddenly leapt out from his hiding spot, the beam saber in his hand aimed straight for the weakest defensive position of Zhao Jun's cockpit.
"Ah!" Even though the spectating cadets were mentally prepared, Qiao Ting's sudden action still made them cry out uncontrollably. Zhao Jun's back was facing Qiao Ting, and Qiao Ting's speed had already reached the limit of what an ace mecha could achieve. It could truly be described as fast as thunder, moving like lightning. It could be seen that Qiao Ting had no intention of giving Zhao Jun any chance of survival. Was Zhao Jun really going to be killed in one move by Qiao Ting?
Those who supported Lingtian did not dare to watch this scene, involuntarily closing their eyes. If Zhao Jun was eliminated just like this, Lingtian would have absolutely no chance of winning. Everyone knew that Zhao Jun was the strongest one in Lingtian.
"Chi La!" a sound was heard! This was not the sound of a mech being pierced, but the sound of a collision between two forces of the same level. Those who had closed their eyes opened them in shock, only to see incomparably brilliant sparks erupting between the two mecha. It was so blinding that all the spectating students were blinded by white light.
Luckily, the cadets' eyes were all very adaptable. After one or two seconds, they recovered. Only then did he see the situation clearly.
As expected, Zhao Jun had not been killed in one hit by Qiao Ting. His back was still facing Qiao Ting, but his mecha was now half-kneeling, his entire body half a head shorter. It was also because of this action that the half-drawn beam saber on his back coincidentally intercepted Qiao Ting's attack on his cockpit.
The feedback from his mecha stunned Qiao Ting. He knew that this move of his had not succeeded as he had expected. Although he did not know why Zhao Jun had so coincidentally intercepted his sure-hit attack, he knew that the advantage was still with him. There was no time to lose. Without hesitation, he raised his beam saber and slashed down viciously.
This move came extremely quickly and viciously. Zhao Jun, who had not fully drawn his beam saber and had his back facing Qiao Ting, had no time to use his beam saber to intercept again. Everyone thought that even if Zhao Jun did not die this time, he would at least be seriously injured. A special-class mecha's beam shield would not be able to completely neutralize the energy of an ace mecha's beam saber. At that time, not only would Zhao Jun's mecha be damaged, the powerful energy vibrations from the beam saber would also damage the operator's body.
Just as Qiao Ting was about to succeed, he suddenly felt a sense of danger. Without even thinking, the beam saber in his hand abruptly changed direction, giving up on attacking Zhao Jun to sweep towards his right …
"Chi La!" The beam saber and the other beam saber clashed fiercely, once again sending out countless sparks. Meanwhile, Zhao Jun took this opportunity to operate his mecha to leap. Zhao Jun's mecha propped itself up with one arm and successfully flipped over to land firmly on the ground. Meanwhile, at this time, Zhao Jun was already facing Qiao Ting head-on. Qiao Ting's plan of ambushing and killing Zhao Jun in one hit had completely failed.
Qiao Ting's face was dark. He had not expected that his sure-kill ambush would actually fail. This made him feel very upset. If he had known earlier, he would have attacked head-on right from the start. Even if it had taken him some time, he would not have felt so stifled.
Qiao Ting's frustration was fleeting. His gaze quickly swept to his right — it was because of this person's well-timed ambush that Zhao Jun had been able to escape with his life. However, with this sweep of his gaze, Qiao Ting was taken aback. The ambusher was actually Lingtian No.5, who had been extremely unassuming earlier. Qiao Ting had not paid much attention to these two people, but it was precisely this unassuming mecha operator who had successfully ambushed him. His timing was impeccable, forcing Qiao Ting to give up on killing Zhao Jun and choose to save himself.
It should be known that even for ace mecha, the beam shield protection of the cockpit was the weakest. As long as he was hit head-on, the energy shockwave would still injure him. Lingtian No.5's ambush had been aimed precisely at his cockpit — this was also why he had no choice but to save himself.
Lingtian No.5's outstanding attack made Qiao Ting feel that something was not right. He immediately looked towards his own team member and found that the other was in a terrible state. Faced with Lingtian No.4's solo attack, his team member could only passively defend, completely unable to retaliate.
The current Lingtian No.4 was nowhere near as clumsy as he had seen earlier. With just one glance, Qiao Ting could tell that this Lingtian No.4's strength was a level higher than his team member's. A thought flashed through Qiao Ting's mind, and he immediately understood that he had fallen into a trap.
Qiao Ting was furious that he had been set up by the other instead. He asked Zhao Jun coldly, "I want to know, how did you discover me?" Only by discovering him could this trap have been set up.
Zhao Jun waved the beam saber in his hand and said with a smile, "Actually, from the moment you started following us, we already knew."
Qiao Ting's gaze turned cold. Zhao Jun's answer was obviously just to brush him off — it looked like the other would not tell him the real answer. "Since you don't want to say it, then forget it. With just the three of you, even if you set up a trap to lure me out, what can you do? The outcome will still be the same — you will all die here. " Qiao Ting coldly announced his verdict on the three members of Lingtian. The moment he finished speaking, he had already arrived before Zhao Jun. Even though Qiao Ting specialized in long-range attacks, as a student of Instructor Tang Yu, his close-combat abilities were not weak.
"Come!" Faced with Qiao Ting's direct attack, Zhao Jun shouted loudly and raised the beam saber in his hand to meet the attack. Zhao Jun had always been a close-combat mecha operator, so he was extremely confident in his close-combat abilities. Even against an ace operator one level higher than him, as long as his mecha had enough power, he would not be afraid.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk …" The two beam sabers clashed several times in an instant. Sparks flew in all directions, and the intense flashes of light caused many of the students who were watching the duel to feel a stinging pain in their eyes. Still, even so, they could not bear to look away, because they did not know whether this battle would end in the next second. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that after a few exchanges, Qiao Ting had gained the upper hand on the field. The difference in mecha and control ability still caused Zhao Jun to quickly fall into a disadvantageous position. As Zhao Jun's mecha's power was rapidly depleted, this disadvantage grew bigger and bigger. It was even possible that in the next second, he would be defeated and eliminated by Qiao Ting …
"Beep!" The mainframe, which had been silent all this while, suddenly beeped once more. Qiao Ting reflexively glanced at the system notification and found that the section marked with the members of his battle clan had lost one more person. Right then, the number of people in his battle clan had already dropped to 6.
Qiao Ting's heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly looked to the side where his team member was fighting, and this glance made Qiao Ting's expression change abruptly.
This was because his team member had already fallen to the ground, and a beam saber was slowly being pulled out from his team member's cockpit. That person was not Lingtian No.4, but Lingtian No.5, who had ambushed him. It looked like in the time it took for him to exchange several blows with Zhao Jun, Lingtian No.5 had chosen to go back and join hands with Lingtian No.4 …
Rage surged in Qiao Ting's heart. The Lingtian Battle Clan's repeated face-slaps made Qiao Ting abnormally hateful. The intense killing intent in his heart caused the speed of his fingers to increase once more, truly reaching the speed an ace operator should have. Perhaps Qiao Ting had thought victory was within his grasp, but he had still been underestimating Zhao Jun. Thus, he had not truly displayed the standard an ace operator should have — this was also why Zhao Jun had been able to hold on for so long.
The speed of Qiao Ting's fingers increased, and the beam saber in Qiao Ting's mecha's hands also increased in speed by a notch, slashing at Zhao Jun like a torrential storm. This fierce attack made Zhao Jun feel even more pressured — he could only hold on bitterly, trying to survive this fierce onslaught.
The spectating students could only see a sea of sword flashes. Zhao Jun's black mecha was enveloped by these sword flashes, and they did not know what would happen. They could only watch with wide eyes, waiting for these sword flashes to disappear, waiting for the result to appear.
Only a few sharp-eyed instructors and some of the more capable administrators of the military academy could see clearly what was going on inside. Right then, the radiance representing the power of Zhao Jun's beam saber had already become extremely dim, and the beam shield on his mecha was only left with a thin layer of light. This meant that the power of Zhao Jun's mecha was about to be completely depleted under Qiao Ting's frenzied attacks. Perhaps after another two or three blows, Zhao Jun's mecha's power would be completely depleted. At that time, the only outcome waiting for Zhao Jun would be to be mercilessly cut down and eliminated.
"As expected, a special-class operator is completely helpless against an ace operator." Seeing this, the administrators of the military academy breathed a sigh of relief and could not help but chuckle. When they had first discovered that Qiao Ting had been tricked by the people of Lingtian, they had been somewhat afraid that Qiao Ting would drop the ball at the critical moment. Now, it looked like their fears were groundless. How could an ace operator be defeated by these small fries?
