"Qiao Ting is done for!"
Seeing Qiao Ting being surrounded by two mecha, the spectating students only had this thought in their minds. Those who supported the Leiting Mecha Clan felt even more despair. Faced with the self-destruction of an advanced mecha and a special-class mecha from both sides, it was likely that even an ace mecha would not be able to withstand this terrifying force. Moreover, Qiao Ting's mecha had already been tricked time and time again by the people of Lingtian, suffering great damage due to the self-destruction many times …
In the blink of an eye, two intense explosions could be heard on the battlefield.
The three mecha that were entangled with each other instantly turned into a huge fireball because of the huge explosion. Then, this huge fireball smashed into the ground, sending sand and dirt flying everywhere. There were even many mecha's broken limbs and shells.
As the yellow sand fell, the spectating cadets finally saw that in the middle of this desert, a crater about 100 metres in diameter and more than 10 metres deep had appeared. And right in the centre of the crater, there was still a pile of steel wreckage that had yet to be extinguished, its flames still burning...
"Qiao Ting isn't dead!" No one knew who shouted this, but all the spectators stared fixedly at the pile of steel wreckage. Their hearts began to race, and they could not help but hold their breaths, waiting for the final verdict from the mainframe.
The mainframe indicated that there was still one person left in Leiting — this proved that Qiao Ting had not died and been eliminated yet. Everyone began to speculate about Qiao Ting's current condition. Was he so heavily injured that he was barely hanging on? Or was he lucky enough to survive, and even had the strength to fight?
"Ling Tian and Lei Ting are finally fighting one on one." The spectators noticed the number of people in Leiting, and at the same time, looked at Lingtian's information. They found that there was indeed only one person left in the Lingtian Mecha Clan, and that was the regiment commander of Lingtian who had been cleaning up Leiting's members in other areas, who had not yet faced off against Qiao Ting.
The spectating cadets began to discuss animatedly. Li Lanfeng's and Zilong's successful self-destructions must have dealt a great deal of damage to Qiao Ting. In addition, Qiao Ting had also sustained considerable injuries due to the continuous self-destructions of the Lingtian members earlier on. Now that Qiao Ting had sustained consecutive injuries, was he still not a match for the regiment commander of Lingtian who was in peak condition in all aspects?
"Do you guys think that Qiao Ting will lose to Ling Tian?" Right now, most of the students were not optimistic about Qiao Ting and Leiting's chances. This was the complete opposite of the viewpoint that everyone held at the beginning.
This question quickly spread to the entire audience, causing the entire stadium to become noisy. Many people even concluded that Qiao Ting was doomed this time. This was because they believed that no matter how strong a mecha was, it would be impossible for it to remain unscathed in the face of a special-class operator and an advanced operator self-destructing at the same time. Perhaps, it was already a great fortune for Qiao Ting to be able to keep his life. It was very likely that that ace mecha had already completely lost its ability to fight.
Of course, many seniors were still very supportive of Qiao Ting and the Leiting Mecha Clan. They still firmly believed that ace operator Qiao Ting would not be defeated by Lingtian's barbaric self-destruct tactics. Qiao Ting would definitely be able to counterattack and turn defeat into victory.
Unknowingly, this was the first time that they had used the two idioms of the invincible legend, Qiao Ting, to fight back from the brink of death and turn defeat into victory. This also showed that the depths of these seniors' hearts were actually uncertain. They did not want to see the new cadets successfully turn the tables on the seniors. They wanted to maintain the seniors' suppression of the new cadets, but reality was cruel. Qiao Ting had not displayed his usual dominance and dominance, and had instead been suppressed by the new cadets, Lingtian. Towards the end of the battle, the situation had been extremely dire. This made it impossible for the seniors who supported Leiting to remain calm.
Just as everyone was discussing animatedly, the large lump of metal wreckage in the deep pit shuddered violently, and then it suddenly shot up into the air. Because of this movement, the burning wreckage surrounding it instantly fell down to crash into the deep pit, once again kicking up a great deal of sand and dust...
Finally, it revealed its true form. It was that ace mecha of Qiao Ting's. However, at this moment, this ace mecha which had once been so awe-inspiring was now in an extremely dilapidated state. Strictly speaking, it could not even be called human anymore.
Its entire right arm had been blown off from the shoulder, revealing all sorts of wires that were still flashing with sparks. Half of its head had also been blown off, leaving only half of its face. Below, both of its legs had been completely blown off, and at its chest area, an extremely thick steel plate had also been blown apart. Several pieces of it had fallen off, revealing the countless intricate circuits and components within.
The only thing worth celebrating was that the waist area where the cockpit was located had surprisingly not suffered any major damage. This was also why Qiao Ting had been able to survive, and also why his mecha could still move freely. After all, the cockpit was where the life of an entire mecha lay. As long as the cockpit was fine, even the most dilapidated mecha would still have the ability to fight.
"It's Qiao Ting. As expected of an ace mecha, to actually be able to hold on even in the face of so many self-destructions." The spectating students could not help but feel envious. The strength of an ace mecha made them envious. There were even many students who had already reached advanced mecha warrior level and above who secretly vowed to themselves that they would definitely advance to ace operator level. An ace mecha was practically a godly protective weapon.
At this time, the administrators of the military academy did not know that their original plan to carry out the God-Making Plan to spur the students to aspire to greater strength, to stimulate the students' enthusiasm for learning mecha control, had instead achieved the result they wanted because of the fact that Qiao Ting had still managed to hold on under Lingtian's crazy self-destructions.
The unkillable cockroach gave the students a deeper understanding of ace mecha. They clearly understood that on the battlefield, only ace mecha could guarantee one's survival. For their own safety, the students desperately wanted to obtain an ace mecha before they entered an army division. This made them begin to practice their mecha control crazily, setting off a craze for diligent mecha training in the military academy.
This craze did not die down in the following few years. This allowed the First Men's Military Academy to break the record set by Qiao Ting in the next few years. Every year, there would be one or two students who would successfully advance to ace operator level.
The most frightening thing was that in Ling Lan's year, there were actually as many as five people who had successfully advanced to ace operator level. The appearance of this statistic shocked the entire Huaxia Federation, and also made the First Men's Military Academy the true number one military academy of the Federation.
Qiao Ting operated his mecha to fly in the air. He quickly checked the mecha's condition, and following the A.I.'s report, a trace of bitterness appeared on his face. The mecha's condition was indeed as terrible as he had expected. The overall destruction rate had already reached 48%, and the mecha's originally abundant energy had been mostly depleted in order to preserve the main body of the mecha. There was only less than 30% of its energy source left. As for his weapon, other than the single high-frequency blade in his left hand, there was nothing else.
Qiao Ting looked at the high-frequency blade in his hand and found that due to the explosion, the high-frequency blade had long been damaged beyond repair. It was likely that it could no longer be used as a weapon. He quickly scanned his surroundings, and soon discovered that 300 metres away, there was a beam saber of unknown origin. Qiao Ting was overjoyed. He operated his mecha over, and with a leap, he gave up on the high-frequency blade and successfully picked up the beam saber from the ground.
Holding the beam saber in his hand, he checked the beam saber's energy and found that it was still very sufficient. This reassured Qiao Ting — even if Lingtian's regiment commander Ling Lan appeared now, with this beam saber, he had the confidence to fight the latter.
"Even if this mecha is half-destroyed, I will let everyone in the academy know that it is impossible to defeat me, Qiao Ting." Qiao Ting gripped the beam saber in his hand tightly, venting internally. After fighting so hard for so long, there was only one enemy left. Qiao Ting would not allow himself to lose this match at the last moment and become someone else's stepping stone.
Honour could only belong to him, Qiao Ting! Qiao Ting's eyes carried a trace of coldness. Towards Lingtian's regiment commander Ling Lan, who had yet to appear, he could not hide the malice in his heart. Ruining the glorious image he had painstakingly created — he would definitely not let the other off so easily.
Qiao Ting suppressed the murderous intent in his heart and quickly made some minor adjustments and repairs to his mecha. He was very thankful that this was Mecha World, where he could use some emergency measures to improve the condition of his mecha.
Focused on his mecha, Qiao Ting did not notice that a few hundred metres behind him, a black mecha had already silently appeared in mid-air, looking at him with an indifferent expression.
"Ah, he's here!" The spectators all noticed this and exclaimed in unison.
Compared to the wretched state of Qiao Ting's mecha, the regiment commander of Lingtian's mecha looked so clean and perfect, as if he had not been in battle at all.
"I just rewatched Lingtian No.1's battle. Holy sh * t, they were all one-hit kills! In the last battle, against three Leiting mecha, ah... they were also one-hit kills? How is this possible? How did he do it? " The students who had been paying attention to Qiao Ting's battle finally remembered to watch Lingtian's regiment commander's battle. When they saw how he had finished off three Leiting members in one move, they could not believe this god-level battle record. Even Qiao Ting had not been able to do this when he had faced off against three Lingtian members who were also using advanced mecha.
"Look carefully, he didn't face the enemy head-on. This Lingtian regiment commander is very cunning. Everything was planned out, deceiving the opponent so that he could assassinate them..." The students who had seriously studied Ling Lan's battle could not help but warn those who were exclaiming incessantly.
The students who had been reminded watched the battle from beginning to end and found that it was indeed as those people had said. The regiment commander of Lingtian was too cunning, often hiding in unexpected places. Especially in the last battle, he had actually dared to pretend to be a destroyed mecha, causing thick smoke to billow out of his body. This had caused the three Leiting members to unsuspectingly approach him to investigate, but they had been killed by the regiment commander of Lingtian instead.
"He's a tactical genius!" Faced with Ling Lan's battle style, Tang Yu and the principal could only give this answer after much thought.
