Chapter 007: An Unexpected Victory

Wu De cast a triumphant glance at Liu Caihui, saying nothing. The expressions of Liu and the group of followers around Xiao Pingyue were not pleasant; they remained silent with gloomy looks in their eyes.

Time is a bit tight, but it should be sufficient to resolve the battle

That is to say, his strength is not much inferior to that of Xiao Pingyue? It is truly hard to believe

One second later, the system determined that Qin Huang was the winner

It is hard to tell that Qin Huang actually has another trick up his sleeve, managing to hold on until now

In their view, the disparity in strength between the two sides was evident, and Xiao Pingyue's victory should have been a foregone conclusion. Unfortunately, the outcome was surprisingly unexpected; what exactly went wrong?

Although the enhancement in one's abilities from this mysterious secret technique, which does not reveal its rank, is not significant due to the fact that one has only just begun to cultivate it, it is still sufficient to cope with the current battlefield situation

"No need!" Xiao Pingyue tossed over a delicate red sealed crystal bottle: "This is a bottle of Lan Hua essence, consider it a gift from me! Drink it, and let us continue!"

Xiao Pingyue was slightly taken aback; Qin Huang's reaction speed was clearly beyond his expectations. Although the energy shield of the mech would not be easily breached, the opponent's attack would still result in additional depletion of the mech's energy reserves. In this round, he found himself at a disadvantage.

In other words, his mech is now in an unprotected state, akin to a young maiden stripped of her clothing, left entirely at the mercy of the opponent

There are still 237 seconds... He glanced at the four-dimensional image floating before him, where a small bright red number in the upper left corner was constantly fluctuating.

The trainees watching from outside were immediately astonished

Qin Huang nonchalantly said: "Sure, but I consume a lot of energy and need some time to rest. Let's compete again tomorrow!"

"Youngster, come and accept your fate!"

"Alright, then I shall not be polite! However, the prize for this round is 1,000 star coins, how does that sound?" Qin Huang said with a smile

The doubts of the crowd are not without reason; a 95% degree of realism is essentially not far from actual combat. Xiao Pingyue's proposal clearly indicates an intention to crush Qin Huang with his superior strength

Although he emerged victorious in the recent battle, his energy reserves have been nearly depleted, making it indeed unsuitable to continue the fight

He is not an impulsive fool; since he dares to easily accept Xiao Pingyue's challenge, he naturally has some confidence! As long as it does not turn into a protracted battle, turning the tide and achieving victory is not without opportunity

"Are you brave enough to try again?" Xiao Pingyue, who was exiting the system, gritted his teeth and said, "I wasn't prepared just now, I wasn't in the right state, so this round doesn't count!"

Facing the aggressively approaching opponent, Qin Huang felt little tension in his heart, calmly maneuvering his mech to meet the challenge head-on

What good luck this guy has! Xiao Pingyue coldly snorted in his heart, and with a whoosh, he soared upwards. The light blade in his hand flickered unpredictably as he launched a series of storm-like counterattacks against Qin Huang

At a critical moment, Qin Huang's mech slightly tilted to the side, narrowly avoiding the opponent's attack. The particle oscillation blade in his hand gently swept, gliding like a dragonfly skimming the water, and struck the mech's azure energy shield, creating a bright ripple that shimmered and undulated before returning to normal.

In the blink of an eye, both sides have exchanged blows, with offense and defense, and have already engaged in over ten rounds of confrontation

After a few seconds, amidst the exclamations of the onlooking students, Xiao Pingyue's energy shield, which was on the verge of collapse, finally exhausted its energy under Qin Huang's relentless attacks, completely shattering and transforming into a shower of bright, fragmented light that dissipated into the void

Is that really possible? Can it be done this way? The students looked on in disbelief

Xiao Pingyue's mech surged forward a few steps, his left arm flickering slightly. A bright, pale blue stream of light erupted, which then solidified under the constraints of a strong magnetic field, rapidly forming a giant light blade measuring ten meters in length. It effortlessly created a series of afterimages in the air, striking towards his left rib with lightning speed

In the arena, Xiao Pingyue watched as the energy reserve index of his mech continued to decline, making it increasingly difficult to maintain a calm demeanor

The myriad shadows of blades almost enveloped his entire body, drawing dazzling trajectories in the void. With Xiao Pingyue's strength, even a slight graze would result in significant energy loss, and the subsequent onslaught would inevitably further suppress him until he was completely defeated

The "Alaya Consciousness" method quietly operates, and one's own mental perception becomes significantly clearer in an instant. The speed of the opponent's attacks seems to have decreased slightly, and the trajectory of the blade becomes easier to grasp, allowing for more accurate predictions of subsequent attack actions.

He is a genuine Mobile Suit pilot, with an energy index that has already reached 12, qualifying him as an excellent student capable of operating a Bronze One-Star Mecha. Coupled with the newly acquired cultivation techniques, there is no way he should be outperformed by this insignificant kid!

Close-quarters combat in mecha is essentially about protecting oneself while inflicting the maximum possible damage on the opponent, employing all means to swiftly eliminate the adversary

Qin Huang had often practiced on virtual combat platforms before, and his overall performance was quite good, so he was naturally not unfamiliar with all of this. Although the realism this time was close to actual combat, there was no essential difference in the operational processes; the only shortcoming lay in his physical fitness.

He is a junior mobile warrior, capable of enduring for at least thirty minutes. Unless a miracle occurs, Qin Huang's defeat is inevitable. Little did anyone know that the development of events would exceed all expectations.

Transaction completed

After several rounds of back-and-forth combat, my mech's energy reserves are nearly depleted, while that guy clearly still has some strength left

Qin Huang said no more, unscrewed the lid, and poured the fragrant potion and the illustrated book into his mouth. He then sat down to adjust his breathing, quietly operating his mental technique. A subtle stream of heat surged from his spiritual sea, flowing through his body's meridians at a steady pace, rapidly restoring his physical strength

The mechs used by both individuals are the Bronze One-Star "Void Hunter" Type III, which belong to the most basic non-standard mechs. Their functional indicators are comparable, both equipped with medium particle oscillation blades, and lacking long-range weapons. Therefore, the confrontation between the two will be a contest of their close combat skills and cognitive reaction abilities

... ... that is, Xiao Pingyue is already a formal mobile warrior, and logically speaking, dealing with him should be quite easy

However, it seems that his plans are unlikely to come to fruition now

Today's match, apart from venting his frustrations on his subordinate, is also due to the past grievances he has with Qin Huang! Back during the enrollment training, Qin Huang consistently outperformed him due to his excellent grades, which garnered significant attention from the instructors, thus inciting his jealousy!

It is strange; I remember he was punished by the instructor with a whip yesterday for failing to meet the training standards. He should still be recovering from his injuries, so how can he be so vigorous now

Liu Caihui felt a slight pang in his heart; this "Lan Hua Essence" is a high-quality biological recovery agent that has the effect of rapidly replenishing energy. A single bottle is worth over a hundred star coins, and even the instructors are reluctant to use it frequently. His superior is indeed willing to invest in order to regain face.

Bastard... Looking at the depleted energy reserves, Xiao and Tu Shuping Yue had no solutions at all, and could only watch helplessly as the opponent's blade pierced through the outer armor, shattering the transparent crystalline metal wall of the core chamber

The effect of this recovery potion is indeed remarkable. After ten minutes, Qin Huang logged into the system, looking revitalized, and the battle resumed

Therefore, the strategies employed by him and Qin Huang are consistent, aiming to swiftly shatter the opponent's energy shield with a rapid and fierce offensive, subsequently attacking and destroying the mecha itself, thereby decisively securing victory

However, that kid's number of strikes is not many, and his speed cannot be compared to mine, yet his luck is extraordinarily high, as he can almost always hit my energy shield, making it extremely difficult to evade

Only Qin Huang's predictive ability in attacks was slightly stronger than his, consistently managing to intercept his lethal strikes at critical moments. At the very least, it could weaken the force of his attacks, causing his predetermined objectives to remain unachieved for an extended period.

"Boss, you are truly impressive!" Wu De rushed over to help the slightly pale Qin Huang to his feet, as such a contest was still quite a burden for him at this moment

If possible, he hopes to completely crush this little brat whom he has always found displeasing, preferably ensuring that he never rises again, to avoid future competition for the limited number of key training spots. From his perspective, the fewer future competitors, the better.

Damn it, what on earth is going on?" Xiao Pingyue, feeling utterly helpless and suppressed, cursed inwardly.

Perhaps he is deliberately pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger
