Translator: H2dH2mr Editor: H2dH2mr Just as Zhao Jun felt that he could not hold on any longer, Jiang Shaoyu's attacks suddenly slowed. Zhao Jun instantly felt the pressure on him lighten, and he recovered.
Zhao Jun reacted quickly, knowing that this was the opportunity Boss Lan had been talking about. Without thinking, he pounced forward, raised Firmament in his hand, and slashed wildly at the opponent.
Jiang Shaoyu saw Zhao Jun charging over fearlessly, and snorted contemptuously. The difference in levels made it very easy for him to deal with special-class operators' attacks. Seeing Firmament's attack coming, he casually controlled the cold weapon on his mecha's arm to meet it.
"Clang!" Jiang Shaoyu's large sword clashed violently with Firmament, but it did not bounce back as Jiang Shaoyu had expected. Instead, they were stuck together, never to be separated again.
Seeing this, Jiang Shaoyu was taken aback. He abruptly pulled back his large sword, but found that at the same time his large sword had returned, that long and narrow sword had also followed. Jiang Shaoyu suddenly felt a flash of danger in his heart. Without thinking, he kicked out, bringing Firmament closer to Zhao Jun's mecha.
"Bang!" "Smack!" Two sounds rang out at almost the same time.
When Jiang Shaoyu's kick landed on Zhao Jun's mecha, two openings suddenly split open on Zhao Jun's head, revealing the two interference rocket cannons inside.
Due to the force of this kick, Firmament and Jiang Shaoyu's large sword were abruptly separated, and Zhao Jun's mecha was sent flying backwards by Jiang Shaoyu's powerful kick.
Zhao Jun's brows were furrowed in excitement. He stared at the screen, and when he reached the optimal firing distance Boss Lan had told him, he pressed the firing button.
With a "Smack!", two interference cannons shot out from the mecha's head, flying rapidly towards Jiang Shaoyu.
Interference cannons were a type of existence used to lure and confuse tracking missiles. They were used in battle with starships, but in mecha combat, almost no mecha masters would use them. This was because interference cannons did not have much destructive power. Even if the mecha did not hide and allowed the cannons to hit, the defensive power of the mecha's beam shield would still allow the mecha to remain unscathed.
Therefore, when Jiang Shaoyu saw Zhao Jun firing the interference cannon at close range, his first thought was, 'Is the other party stupid?' His second feeling was that the other party was really stupid. Third, he felt that the other party was definitely an idiot.
In the face of these two interference cannons, Jiang Shaoyu revealed a mocking expression. He did not dodge. He was not stupid. Would he be frightened by these harmless interference cannons? Instead, he raised the giant sword in his hand and charged forward, wanting to take the opportunity to strike his opponent.
Just as the interference cannon was about to hit Jiang Shaoyu, Jiang Shaoyu suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of crisis. At this time, Jiang Shaoyu didn't have time to think. He trusted his intuition and swung the greatsword in his hand to meet the two interference cannons without hesitation.
Since there was danger, Jiang Shaoyu's intuition told him that it was the two interference cannons that he had neglected.
"Rumble!" Two huge explosions followed one after another.
The greatsword met one of the interference cannons. The two collided and exploded. However, the other cannon avoided the greatsword's interception and flew directly towards Jiang Shaoyu's chest.
Under the immense threat, Jiang Shaoyu's index had reached its limit. At the last moment, he successfully moved his mecha to the side, avoiding the attack at his chest and crashing into his mecha's left arm. Immediately after, the second interference cannon was successfully detonated.
The explosive power of the interference rounds was unexpectedly strong — Jiang Shaoyu's mecha was sent flying nearly 100 metres by the force of the blast. The tremendous force caused the blood in his chest to churn, making him feel like he was about to vomit. If not for the protective equipment in his cockpit and the fact that his physical constitution was also extremely strong, he might have been injured by the force of the explosion.
However, Jiang Shaoyu's mecha was not so lucky. Its left arm was directly destroyed by the interference cannons. Even with the defensive capabilities of an ace mecha, it was unable to withstand the force of the explosion.
The terrifying destructive power of the interference cannons, which defied common sense, caused a rare moment of silence to appear in the audience. Several seconds later, there was a 'whoosh', and the audience burst into an uproar of disbelief. The interference cannons installed in Zhao Jun's head had completely exceeded everyone's expectations. Several missile experts present even stood up in excitement.
These experts naturally wanted to increase the power of the weapons installed in the head of the mecha while maintaining their interference capabilities. However, because the head of the mecha had a low load capacity and a small space, in terms of size and weight, the possibility of increasing the power of the weapons was eliminated. Who would have thought that a project they had already given up on would now have a new possibility? This made them exceptionally excited. They could not wait for this match to end just like that so that they could capture this special-class operator and disassemble his mecha to study what exactly that interference cannons were?
When Chang Xinyuan heard the spectators around him asking each other what the interference cannons were, his eyes narrowed and he smiled smugly. He had initially thought that the things he had created were useless, but unexpectedly, under Boss Lan's arrangements, they had actually turned trash into treasure, achieving such an unexpected sure-kill effect in mecha combat.
At this thought, Chang Xinyuan also felt some regret. Such an unexpected sneak attack had still been dodged by that Jiang Shaoyu. If it had hit the chest of the mecha directly, it would have destroyed the entire mecha's power system, truly achieving a sure-kill!
However, Chang Xinyuan's regret quickly disappeared. In the combat arena, Jiang Shaoyu, who had already lost his left arm, was now in an even worse predicament. That large sword of his suddenly broke apart with a 'crack' in the middle. The upper half of the sword fell down to crash heavily onto the ground, sending up a cloud of dust.
Seeing this, Jiang Shaoyu's expression changed drastically. He stared in shock at the large sword in his mecha's right hand, abnormally confused. Until now, he still couldn't understand how the nonlethal interference cannon had suddenly become so powerful that it was beyond his imagination. Two interference cannons, one had destroyed his left arm, the other had destroyed his large sword … could it be that the Federation had developed some new type of interference cannons? Had the other been lucky enough to get hold of them?
Jiang Shaoyu naturally could not get an answer, because these interference cannons had been created by Chang Xinyuan of Ling Lan's battle team. Chang Xinyuan had always thought of these cannons as his failed products, so he had never mentioned them to outsiders. If not for Ling Lan seeing the value of these modified cannons, they would probably still be buried in Chang Xinyuan's workshop.
Seeing this, Zhao Jun also felt that it was a pity. Two super NG cannons had only managed to destroy one of the opponent's arms in the end. In Boss Lan's estimation, the best result would have been to destroy half of the opponent's mecha.
Jiang Shaoyu could not understand why things had turned out this way, but he also knew that he had lost a great deal of face. As an ace operator, he had actually been forced into such a pitiful state by a special-class operator. Although earlier, under his powerful attacks, he had also caused great damage to the opponent's mecha, causing its outer shell to be riddled with scars, the opponent had still managed to maintain the integrity of the mecha's surface. In this aspect, he had lost to the opponent.
Jiang Shaoyu knew very well that the excited cheers from the crowd were for his opponent. He felt a strong sense of humiliation, and with a 'snap', a nerve in his brain known as rationality snapped. Jiang Shaoyu's eyes were red as he stared at the mecha before him. There was only one thought in his mind, and that was to kill him. He must kill him! Only then would he be able to wash away his humiliation!
Jiang Shaoyu abruptly threw down the broken sword in his hand, and his mecha's right arm reached behind his back to retrieve the handle of a beam saber from the rack. He pressed the switch, and the beam saber's handle instantly pulled out a beam of light several metres long. At the same time, his mecha's engines roared to life, and in the next second, his mecha shot out like a beam of light towards Zhao Jun who was 100 metres away …
"So fast!" Everyone cried out in surprise. This was the true strength of an ace operator. Earlier, because Jiang Shaoyu had been absent-minded, he had not been able to display the true strength an ace operator should have. This was also why Zhao Jun had been able to hold out against the opponent's frenzied attacks.
"If Jiang Shaoyu had displayed his current strength from the start, Zhao Jun would probably have been defeated," sighed Li Lanfeng, who was sitting beside Ling Lan. However, he was secretly happy for his good friend — his luck was really not bad.
Ling Lan nodded in agreement. Actually, the plan she had devised for Zhao Jun actually had a flaw.
Angering the opponent could indeed cause the opponent to lose his cool and cause his strength to drop, but there were actually two other possibilities. One was that despite his anger, he could still control his emotions and maintain his original combat strength. The other was that Ling Lan did not want to see the most — that was, anger would instead stimulate one's potential, causing one's combat strength to instantly explode.
Fortunately, Jiang Shaoyu was not that kind of weirdo, allowing Zhao Jun to achieve his goal by a hair's breadth, losing one of the opponent's mecha's arms. However, at this time, Jiang Shaoyu's strength had already recovered to its original level. Zhao Jun's luck had run out — the match was about to end. Ling Lan made a judgment in her mind.
From the audience's perspective, Jiang Shaoyu's mecha was like a bolt of lightning shooting towards Zhao Jun. In Zhao Jun's case, in a flash, the opponent was already in front of him in the next second, his beam saber piercing mercilessly towards his cockpit …
This scene caused Zhao Jun's expression to change. He operated his mecha to the side, and the beam saber slashed across the mecha's outer shell. The power of the beam saber exceeded the maximum tolerance of the beam shield, adding another scratch to the mecha's outer shell.
This scene caused everyone present to gasp in surprise. Seated in the spectator stands, Ling Lan's initially cold and expressionless face also changed uncontrollably. Her eyes narrowed, anger flashing through them.
"Zhao Jun, it's time to admit defeat." Ling Lan said quietly, feeling somewhat anxious. It was unavoidable that she now had an additional layer of worry — she did not want any accidents to happen to her team members in this match.
Having dodged a fatal blow, Zhao Jun heard the feedback from his mecha's A.I., and his initially excited expression instantly froze. The rage in his heart flared uncontrollably. That blow just now was definitely not a mistake or a slip of the hand — the opponent had done it on purpose. He wanted to kill him …
Zhao Jun's appearance was extremely barbaric and boorish, looking very much like a thug. Back in the Wuji Mecha Clan, he had also been mistaken by Han Yu and the others to be just a battle maniac. In reality, he had his own set of rules — a drop of water should be repaid with a gushing spring, and a broken tooth must be repaid with a head. Since Jiang Shaoyu wanted to make a move against him, Zhao Jun naturally would not take this lying down.
Seeing Jiang Shaoyu attack once again, a cold light flashed through Zhao Jun's eyes. His fingers began to dance violently, and his mecha could be seen. His right hand gripped Firmament tightly, his arm slightly open, the tip of his sword hanging low at a 45 degree angle.
