"Hahaha …"
"Hahaha … I'm dying of laughter … This is too funny … Ouch … I can't … My stomach hurts … Hahaha …"
The entire mech combat test area was filled with waves of laughter. The youths on the viewing platform were even more exaggerated, some of them already doubled over in laughter. Even Powell, who was sitting at the highest point of the viewing platform, could not help but smile.
It was indeed an interesting scene. The examiner kept circling around the strange mech, but the metal lump was always able to dodge his attacks in all sorts of strange ways. It would have been fine if it was just a little strange, but the mech itself was a little strange, and the whole scene was indescribably hilarious.
Suddenly, the mech's left foot and left hand touched the ground, attempting a side flip to avoid the examiner's attack. A metal lump with thick limbs rolled clumsily to the side, and in the process of flipping, it even fell to the ground due to its unstable center of gravity. The fall of such a huge thing was like a mountain that could topple a jade pillar. With a loud crash, the dust kicked up by the impact covered the examiner's mech.
This time, the spectators burst into laughter. The youths, who had been clutching their stomachs, could no longer hold back their laughter. However, the pain on their faces showed the pain in their stomachs.
Ye Chong, in the pilot cabin, was also in a sorry state. The command he had entered was for the mech to turn sideways, but the mech ended up flipping instead. Since he was caught off guard, Ye Chong had entered a wrong command, and the mech's already adjusted center of gravity deviated, causing the mech to lose its balance and fall.
Ye Chong had made a series of mistakes like this since the beginning of the test. He was helpless. The control panel's button layout was completely different from what he was used to. In a battle, this was a fatal weakness.
The only reason he was able to hold on until now without being defeated was because he could always judge his opponent's attack intent in advance and choose how to deal with it. Of course, there was also a bit of luck involved. Otherwise, he would have lost long ago.
Even so, he was still in a passive position.
The supervisor was also incomparably annoyed. No matter how he looked at it, he had the upper hand. This damned Number 231 had no way of fighting back. But what drove him mad was that this heavy lump of iron's luck was extraordinarily good. Even though he was in an extremely sorry state every single time, he was always able to avert danger, and it almost caused him to be angered to the point of almost spitting blood.
However, he had already decided to use killing to end this battle that was driving him crazy!
Hmph, I don't believe you can even dodge this. A fierce glint flashed across his eyes. In the cockpit, the examiner was clearly angered out of humiliation.
His hands flew across the control panel as he keyed in the commands. Whoosh! The mech retreated instead of advancing, pulling away from Ye Chong.
Inside the cockpit, Ye Chong was still expressionless, but his eyes, which were as cold as ice, were now solemn.
"What do you think? How's the assessment going? "A casual voice came from behind Powell.
Powell turned his head and saw a half-naked, middle-aged man walking toward him. He had a towel draped over his shoulder, and there were still many droplets of water on his muscular body.
After a moment's thought, Powell said, "Interesting."
The middle-aged man sat down beside Powell, looking surprised. "If a rigid person like you says it's interesting, then it must be interesting."
"Here, you'll know when you see it," Powell pointed to the assessment area below him.
"Haha, I'll have to see it then," he said, but he did not look at it at all. He continued to dry his wet hair with the towel.
Powell shifted his gaze to the burly man beside him, and said sincerely, "Tong, thank you so much for your help this time." The burly man named Tong was the examiner in the sword and shield mech. He was sent here on a mission, and coincidentally, Powell had received an invitation for an instructor to conduct preliminary strength training, so he took up the role of examiner.
Tong waved his hand casually. "It's just a small matter, no big deal. It's been so long since I came back from the frontline, and I haven't had a chance to do anything yet.
"What's the situation at the frontline? You know, it's hard to tell the truth from the frontline. "Powell sat up straight and looked at Tong.
Tong shook his head. "It's not looking good. So far, it's still a stalemate. There are casualties at the frontline every day, and we know too little about them. " He paused for a moment to make sure no one was around. Then he moved closer to Powell and said in a hushed voice, "Not long ago, Alva's scouting team encountered a powerful red-tailed beast not far from here, near the Calamitous Asteroid Belt. Only three out of 30 survived."
"What?" Powell's expression changed, but he quickly realized something. He looked around to make sure no one was looking, then moved closer to Tong. His voice trembled. "You mean …"
The two men exchanged a look. Tong nodded solemnly, and said in a low voice, "Yes, so the higher-ups suspect that small groups of red-tailed beasts have infiltrated Gray Valley from other directions."
Powell's face paled. He was, after all, a non-combatant, and had never been in a war. He was frightened. Tong patted Powell's shoulder and comforted him. "Don't worry too much. Even if there are red-tailed beasts, there will be combatants at the frontline." He added, "Don't tell anyone else about this. It's a military secret, hehe." However, he did not seem to care too much about this so-called military secret.
Suddenly, there was a thunderous cheer in the hall, drawing the attention of the two examiners.
The two faint yellow light trails turned into sparkling dots in the air and disappeared without a trace.
The ends of the two pale yellow trails were the examiner's mech's glowing laser knuckles.
In the cockpit, the examiner could not believe his eyes.
He … he missed!
How is this possible? That was the first thought that came to his mind.
The tactical maneuver he used was difficult, but it was also very lethal. He had been practicing this maneuver for a long time, but the success rate was not high. That was why he never had the chance to use it in actual combat. However, this time, his opponent was not a threat at all, and he could not take down the mech for a long time. Frustrated, he decided to use this move.
He did not expect this maneuver, which usually had a low success rate, to go so smoothly this time. He was overjoyed.
He believed that once he completed this difficult maneuver, his opponent would definitely lose. He did not care whether his opponent would die or be injured.
However … he missed!
What happened? Before he could calm down from the excitement of killing his opponent, he felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over him. Victory was in sight, but he could not complete the last step. He felt like he was going crazy! The series of events happened too quickly, and he could not react in time.
Ye Chong panted heavily. That moment of extreme danger had stretched his nerves to the limit. However, he did not hesitate, and quickly entered the block command on the control panel.
From the moment the opponent's mech pulled away, Ye Chong knew what kind of danger he was in.
Ripple Strangle!
This was a famous maneuver, although Ye Chong felt that it was somewhat impractical. However, he also had to admit that once this tactical move was completed, its lethality would be very shocking.
If he had Han Jia, Ripple Strangle would be a joke to him. Before the opponent completed the maneuver, Ye Chong would have enough time to dismember the opponent's mech a few times.
However, there was no Han Jia, only experimental mechs! Ye Chong quickly gave up on attacking, and decided to block and dodge instead. Ye Chong's amazing calculation skills saved him in that moment, as he immediately predicted the opponent's three attacks. This bought him 1.5 seconds of time.
However, it was also in this 1.5 seconds that Ye Chong entered the command on the unfamiliar triangular control panel as fast as he could. In the process, Ye Chong made a mistake, but this time, it was Ye Chong's superhuman hand speed that made up for it. He corrected the mistake as fast as he could, and the opponent's laser fist was already right in front of him.
The mech bent its left knee, and used its right leg as a support point. The mech arched its body slightly, with its left arm holding the V-shaped shield in front of it, and its right arm slightly bent, with its palm on the ground, forming a strange posture.
Boom!
The V-shaped shield was the first to shatter. The huge impact from the frontal defense of Ripple Strangle instantly shattered the shield. However, the opponent's mech slowed down a little, and this delay was exactly what Ye Chong wanted.
The mech's legs and right arm pushed hard on the ground! The mech's engines were mostly installed on its limbs to increase its strength. With all three of them working together, the mech's strength and speed were terrifying!
Ye Chong's mech bounced up from the ground like a compressed spring.
Thud!
The dull sound of metal clashing against metal hurt everyone's eardrums.
Ye Chong's mech crashed into the opponent's mech. Since the collision was from the side, the examiner's mech turned downwards, and flew towards another direction at a higher speed.
Everyone who saw this scene could not help but think of an ancient sport - Billiards! Didn't these two mechs just collide like two balls?
The surroundings were silent. Everyone had a dull look on their faces. After a full ten seconds, suddenly, an earth-shattering cheer rang out from the grandstand. Everyone was subdued by this exciting exchange.
The two mechs faced each other again. The examiner's mech was intact, while Number 231's mech's left arm shield was only left with half a handle. Everyone knew that Number 231 would no longer have a shield to rely on next time, and it was only a matter of time before he lost.
However, everyone still applauded the clumsy mech's brilliant performance just now. (To be continued, if you want to know what happens next, please log on to WWW .CMFU.COM. More chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
