"Ah!" Suddenly, the spectating students cried out in surprise. Behind Qiao Ting, three more mecha had appeared — Lingtian No.3, Lingtian No.6, and Lingtian No.7. They were Wu Jiong, Xie Yi, and Lin Zhong-qing! Having received Ling Lan's orders, they had rushed towards Qiao Ting's coordinates as fast as they could after meeting up, executing the strategy they had formulated at the start of the battle. They were going to use tactic number two, which they had named the "Swarm Tactic", to bring Qiao Ting down from his high horse.
Because they were quite a distance away from Qiao Ting, even though they had activated all their engines and rushed over, they could only become the third batch of people to arrive.
Meanwhile, at this time, following the departure of Zhao Jun, Luo Lang, and Li Yingjie, the Lingtian Battle Clan was left with only six people.
Meanwhile, at this time, in another direction, a mecha was sprinting over from the ground. Seeing that his teammates who were still on the battlefield had all arrived at the location Boss Lan had informed him of, he was extremely frustrated. "F * ck, they're all here, and I'm actually the last one!"
He was Lingtian No.2 Zilong. Initially, his position had been closer than Lin Zhong-qing and the others, but as someone who liked close combat, in order to increase the close-combat power of his mecha, he had asked Chang Xinyuan to modify parts of his mecha, sacrificing a portion of his mecha's speed. It was precisely because of this reason that he had fallen to the very back, becoming the only member who had yet to arrive.
"We're still 3 kilometres away from the destination. Based on my mecha's speed, I should be able to arrive in 3 minutes." Once again comparing the latest location Boss had sent him, Zilong found that he was almost there. His mood eased, and he wiped the sweat from his forehead before continuing to operate his mecha to rush towards the destination.
However, he had not walked for long when the mecha's A.I. suddenly sounded an alarm, alerting the radar that there was an unidentified flying object 3000 metres away. Looking in the direction of the unidentified flying object, Zilong could not help but curse his bad luck. It turned out that the mecha was diagonally behind him. If he had moved just a little faster, he might have brushed past the other.
Zilong's first instinct was that this was definitely a Leiting mecha. Pulling closer to take a look, it was just as he had expected. That mecha had discovered Zilong, and as though it had been injected with stimulants, it sped up and pounced towards him. This made it impossible for him to dodge even if he wanted to. Seeing this, Zilong could not help but curse internally, "F * ck, I'm so f * cking unlucky!"
Zilong was not afraid that he would not be a match for a Leiting member. Instead, he wanted to get to Qiao Ting as quickly as possible so that he could encircle and annihilate Qiao Ting with all his might and successfully carry out his boss's second plan. Thus, he did not want to waste time fighting against a Leiting member. However, since he found that he could not escape, Zilong still drew out his weapon and prepared himself for battle even though he was a little frustrated.
Actually, there was a reason why the opponent's mecha was so excited at the sight of Zilong. He had actually first encountered the mecha column formed by Wu Jiong, Lin Zhong-qing, and Xie Yi. Clever as he was, he knew that he was definitely no match for the mecha column, so he had chosen to escape without any hesitation. In reality, when he had made this choice, he had not really believed that he would be able to escape the other's encirclement. However, unexpectedly, the other party did not seem to have noticed him at all and had no intention of chasing after him. Instead, they were flying rapidly in the direction they had come from.
This made the Leiting mecha rejoice, but at the same time, he could not help but be curious about what the three mecha from Lingtian were up to. Just as he was hesitating about whether to follow them stealthily, he discovered another mecha in another direction. This mecha was also from the Lingtian Mecha Clan, and he was rushing in the same direction as the three mecha before him.
He did not dare to fight against three mecha, but against one mecha, and one that was also an advanced mecha warrior, the Leiting member felt that victory was within his grasp. He thought that perhaps he would be able to find the answer he wanted from this lone Lingtian mecha.
Very soon, the two mecha met head-on. Zilong was not like the opponent, choosing a beam gun in one hand and a beam saber in the other. He was only carrying a giant sword made of steel. Because the weapon was extremely heavy, Zilong's mecha appeared very clumsy, so its speed naturally could not match that of the Leiting member.
Zilong did not mind the fact that his mecha's speed was reduced. As a worshipper of Boss Lan, he also liked using giant cold weapons made of steel to fight. Thus, he was the only member of the Lingtian Battle Clan who chose cold weapons like Ling Lan. Sharing the same lineage as Ling Lan, he was equally outstanding in the use of cold weapons.
Seeing that the Lingtian member was using a giant cold weapon and that his mecha's speed was extremely clumsy and slow, the Leiting member could not help but look down on him.
Although giant cold weapons were much more destructive to mecha than hot weapons, their heavy weight and large size made it impossible for mecha to attack at high speeds. If it was also a close-combat mecha, it might be effective against slow mecha, but against speed-type mecha, it was almost useless, because it would make it very easy for the opponent to dodge.
On the other hand, this Leiting member was a speed-type mecha operator. Relying on his speed, a clumsy close-combat mecha would never be able to hit him. This was also why he had looked down on Zilong. At the same time, he was also overjoyed that he had met a mecha he could counter. Victory in this battle would be his.
Confident, the Leiting member drew his beam saber and beam gun as he ran. As soon as Zilong entered the attack range of his beam gun, he pulled the trigger without hesitation, pouring out the beam energy in his beam gun in a frenzy. Since the opponent's speed was not up to par, he should be able to hit the opponent with a torrent of beam attacks. As long as the opponent's beam shield was depleted, he would be able to win this battle without having to wait for the opponent to close in.
After a round of wild shots, the Leiting member did not know whether it was because the opponent was too lucky or because his shots were off, but the Leiting member was shocked to find that his long-range attacks actually did not cause any damage to the opponent...
"F * ck, why is my hand so cold today?" The Leiting member was gloomy, but he did not think too deeply about it. He just assumed that his hand felt bad and had lost its original standard. When he saw that his beam gun was not doing its job, and that the two were about to enter close-combat range, he put his beam gun back where it was and focused on controlling his beam saber to lunge at Zilong.
"Heh, just in time." Zilong was currently vexed that his mecha was not fast enough. He was worried that the opponent would continue to choose long-range attacks and choose to keep his distance. If that happened, he could predict that he would enter a stalemate with the opponent, and this battle would become a protracted one. It would all depend on who ran out of energy first, and this was something that Zilong absolutely did not want to happen.
Zilong was conflicted and worried, but he found that the opponent was not acting as he had expected, instead taking the initiative to attack. Zilong was overjoyed — once they entered close-combat range, Zilong believed that he would definitely be able to finish off the opponent within a few seconds.
The speed of the Leiting member's beam saber was very fast. The light beam saber allowed the opponent to stab out several times in a second. The spectators could only see Lingtian's mecha being instantly enveloped in the light of the opponent's beam saber...
No one thought that this clumsy mecha of Lingtian's would be able to completely dodge so many beam saber attacks. They all thought that he would definitely be struck several times. Even the attacking Leiting member thought so. Once his beam saber hit the opponent, he would be able to deplete the opponent's beam shield energy, and once the opponent's beam shield energy was completely depleted, he would be able to eliminate the opponent in the very next second.
However, what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations. The giant steel saber which they had thought to be heavy and heavy and would affect the opponent's attack speed, in that second, a series of overlapping shadows actually appeared, and then there was the sound of an intense collision...
This sound made the Leiting member feel uneasy. This was not the sound of the beam shield's energy being depleted, but rather the sound of a direct collision. He was just about to withdraw and retreat to find out what was going on... when the giant saber, which had initially been a series of overlapping shadows, suddenly disappeared completely before his eyes!
An unprecedented sense of danger flashed through the Leiting member's heart. Terrified, he operated his mecha to retreat rapidly, but it was already too late. He only saw a cold light flash before his eyes, and immediately after, he felt his mecha being struck by a massive force. The powerful force made him unable to control his mecha, and his entire mecha was sent flying backwards uncontrollably. Not only that, the massive force also created a massive tremor. This tremor was so strong that the shock-absorbing device installed in his cockpit was rendered ineffective. He only felt a sharp pain in his chest, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out...
Before he could recover from the excruciating pain, another powerful force hit his mecha. This time, it hit his cockpit directly. The terrifying force caused the cockpit, which was already damaged and had its defenses at its lowest, to suffer another heavy blow. Sitting inside, he felt as if his entire body was being crushed by a mountain. His vision darkened, and when he regained consciousness, he found that he was already at the login point of the virtual world. He quickly flipped through the notifications from the mainframe, and found that several tens of seconds ago, the mainframe had announced that he had been defeated and killed, and had been banished from Mecha World. He could only wait until the death penalty was over before he could apply for a new trainee mecha and start anew.
"The opponent's physical constitution is definitely at the level of a monster." The Leiting member smiled wryly. Although it looked like they were operating each other's mecha in battle, in reality, the movements made by the mecha would be reflected back to the mecha operators themselves. For the opponent to be able to use such a terrifying giant cold weapon and be able to withstand the backlash of this force, his physical constitution must be extremely aberrant...
Having finished off his opponent, Zilong satisfactorily slung the giant steel sword back onto the back of his mecha. Then, without any hesitation, he continued to rush towards his destination at a speed he despised. This battle, from the start of preparation to the end, had still wasted three minutes of his time. If he had not encountered the opponent, he would have already arrived at his destination by now...
Although Zilong had obtained victory, he was not very happy. He was very afraid that by the time he arrived, the battle would already be over. Whether it was Qiao Ting being finished off by his own teammates, or his teammates being finished off by Qiao Ting, he would feel extremely displeased.
