Of course, none of this had anything to do with Ye Chong. Ye Chong only had eyes for his opponent.
The venue was a forest, which was rarely used. After all, mech pilots' main battlefield was in outer space. Even when they entered the atmosphere, most mech pilots fought in the air. This was one of the reasons why shooting mechs were so popular.
Shooting had always been Ye Chong's weakness, because he had never used even the lowest level of heat ray gun in real life. The galactic government placed great emphasis on destroying abandoned weapons, which forced Ye Chong to live in the era of cold weapons. Of course, space pirates could no longer use trash planets as supply planets like before.
In the absence of feedback from the body, one would not be able to progress further after reaching a certain level. A person's mind and body complemented each other, and neither could be dispensed with. Ye Chong's shooting skills were in such a predicament, but even Mu and Shang could not do anything about it.
Ye Chong's lips curved at the thought of Mu and Shang. What had that guy been up to recently?
Sigh, being distracted in the face of an enemy was a taboo. Ye Chong quickly gathered his thoughts.
Ye Chong was piloting a Purple Shadow. The Shadow was a combat and assassination mech that was already considered as an advanced level mech. The body was slender and long, allowing it to maneuver in small areas with great agility. The height was only 8.5 meters, about 150 centimeters shorter than the average mech. Its configuration was impressive. The two high-strength magnetic daggers were dull in the night. It was not as useless as the one on the Raven. Besides, it was not as dazzling as the laser dagger, making it even more difficult to defend against in the dark. Each of the mech's wrists was equipped with a 30 centimeter long sickle-shaped blade. It was made of compressed alloy, and could cut through most mechs. It was sharpened on both sides, and Ye Chong liked the fact that it was coated with a layer of black paint to prevent reflections from alerting the enemy. The calves were also equipped with the same blade. Other than that, there were countless little traps like blades that popped out from the soles of the feet. Ye Chong, who had always been more cunning than the most cunning, loved it. The barbs he planted on Winnie's body back then were really embarrassing compared to these things.
"It would be perfect if the mech was black," Ye Chong thought.
This mech was also an unpopular mech model. Shadow did not have a single long-range weapon on it. This required the operator to be highly skilled in close-range combat. In a world where long-range attacks were the norm, this meant that Shadow was not a popular choice. In addition, in order to increase its agility, its mech body was designed to be extremely thin, which could be fatal if struck. Although Shadow was extremely powerful in short-range attacks, it could not carry too much energy, so its long-range navigation ability was extremely poor. This was one of the reasons why many people were reluctant to use it in space that was hundreds of thousands of miles away.
Being an expert in mech modification, Ye Chong knew the characteristics of the Shadow like the back of his hand. However, he did not agree with it. The Shadow was a mech designed for assassination. If you want to use it in a one-on-one duel, then you must be using it wrongly. You can't blame the mech if you use it incorrectly and do not unleash the full potential of the mech.
The opponent's mech was a modified mech, with eight shocking gun barrels, making it look like a porcupine, two 500,000-class double-barreled particle cannons, and two 200,000-class shotguns. Heavens! Is this still a gun? How is it any different from a cannon? There were also two sonic guns. This sonic weapon could ignore the mech's body and directly destroy the pilot's life force, causing dizziness and nausea, which would seriously interfere with the pilot's operation. Ye Chong's heart skipped a beat when he saw the shortest barrel. It was a Farley Lang laser sniper rifle. Laser guns were already highly accurate, and this particular laser sniper rifle was even more accurate. Within a range of 15 kilometers, it would have a margin of error of 0.5 millimeters, and the laser beam it fired could penetrate any mech other than the best of the best. The other gun was a 100,000-class heat ray gun. It could move around in a wide area to cover the mech's blind spots. The opponent's mech was also very strange. Hmm, it was more accurate to say that it was ugly. From the outside, it looked no different from a fortress, except for the engine that gave it some mobility.
Ye Chong wondered if it could even be considered a mech. Wasn't it just an aerial fortress?
Besides, looking at its huge size, it could carry at least a dozen times more energy than Shadow. Wouldn't it be an aerial fortress that did not know fatigue? Ye Chong groaned inwardly. This was the first time he had encountered such an insane mech.
Due to the complicated terrain, the system had randomly sent them into the forest.
"Once we're in the forest …" Ye Chong laughed coldly to himself. Another commendable feature of Shadow was its excellent anti-detection system. In a place as complicated as the forest, it would be even more difficult for the opponent to track him down.
Ye Chong moved carefully through the forest, unaware that the spectators were already gasping in surprise.
As Ye Chong's popularity grew, more and more people came to watch his matches. The spectators were already packed. The many holographic screens on the spectators' stand captured every detail of Ye Chong from different angles.
There was a reason for the crowd to be surprised. Although the Dark Shadow was known for its agility, YC's speed did not slow down in the slightest in such a complicated terrain. He maintained a high speed, like a gust of wind, without any hindrance. How was this possible? The spectators' mouths were wide open! The primitive forest was overgrown with trees and vines everywhere. One had to be careful even if they were to walk slowly.
What terrifying piloting skills!
To Ye Chong, this was a necessary survival skill. The garbage in the garbage dump was more messy than here. Most of the mutated lifeforms lived in the garbage dump. To capture them, one would have to move through the garbage much more freely than they did. Otherwise, one would have to go back to drinking the organic liquid food that was like mud! Ye Chong did not have to worry about this problem since he was piloting the old Winnie. Mu's training target for Ye Chong had reached a terrifying level, and Ye Chong was able to maneuver in this complicated environment like a fish in water.
Suddenly, a loud explosion came from the Southwest direction.
Ye Chong crouched like an agile cheetah and approached the source without a sound. This action caused the spectators in the stands to exclaim in surprise.
Ye Chong carefully hid in the dense canopy of a huge tree, watching the opponent carefully.
The opponent did not intend to tangle with Ye Chong in the forest. Instead, he floated in the air and used his cannon to clear a large area below him, creating a huge open area. Once Ye Chong stepped into the area, he would be exposed. Then, he would be greeted with either a laser beam that could penetrate his weak armor, or an overwhelming bombardment that could obliterate him.
Ye Chong was now in a dilemma!
