Chapter 30: Chapter 30

Alarms resounded through the cockpit, but Tang Bai's words from last night echoed in Xie Ruhang's ears:

"Grandpa and I said that the framework of all the mechs in the Federation now can't be separated from the most basic five mechs, and even the advanced mechs are extended from the basic mechs."

"The base model defensive mech, it's only defensive, it doesn't have any functions, so the defensive mech's frame is the most stable."

"When I was a kid, grandpa gave me an assignment on how to improve the stability of defensive mechs, and I studied it for a long time, so long that grandpa should have forgotten about the assignment."

Those white hands mysteriously pulled out a part that was very different from the main part in the center stress area, "But there's something I haven't forgotten."

Amber eyes gazed tenderly at the part in his hand, careful to the point of holding it like an Xing Xing, "I've been modifying the system and design drawings, the structure Grandpa made is really a super stable structure ......"

The pretty little omega's voice suddenly softened as she spoke, "And so I wondered, wouldn't the most stable framework in the world cause the most damage the moment it collapsed?"

Ka-chow--

Another crack spread from the center like a spider web, not only from the center, like a domino effect, this bulky mech had dense cracks all over its body!

"And then yeah, I worked on a new mech."

The repositioned energy tanks shattered together, raging energy flowing out in predetermined trajectories, blinding light glinting from under the countless cracks--

"It only has one killing move, that is, to return the favor to the opponent, the stronger the opponent, the greater the killing power, very suitable for the weak to defeat the strong, but its shortcomings are also very obvious, it needs a relatively long time to build up power, but also the opponent's striking point are in the range of the mecha's power, this time you need to Brother Xie, you must use your heart to manipulate it."

The dark phoenix eyes saw the humanoid mecha's fists that closed their violent jabs through the display that was covered in blood mist.

Even with the removal of the defense-breaking Bludgeon, the blow was enough to destroy the heavily damaged mech.

Time seems to have been stretched out for a very long time in this moment, Xie Ruhang pressed the left hand switch to change the fighting mode -

Freedom to fight.

Unlike assisted combat, which relies on a mech's own attack skills, free combat relies entirely on the mech's control of his or her body.

Few mechs would choose the free battle mode, as the mechs themselves provided very little boost in the free battle mode, only amplifying the power of the mech's own attacks.

It is equivalent to saying that the dish of mediocre talent in free mode will be doubly amplified, the slightest limb imbalance will be displayed by the mech, and it is better to unleash the killing moves that come with the mech, while the amazing genius can be like a fish out of water, and break through the limits of the conventional mech's attributes of attack, speed, and so on!

A perversely gifted mechmaster could even manipulate his body to make attacks that even a mech couldn't make, and after one blow, the mech was scrapped.

And Xie Ruhang, he's that rare mech combat genius.

[Dropping--Free Battle Mode Switching Successful!

The thick, bulky mech was like an ill-fitting coat over his body, and his shield-shaped arms were only good for defense, making it difficult to attack.

The mech was nearing its damage limit, and at this point it was automatically increasing its damage rate without any need for Gu Tunan's attacks.

"Brother Xie you need to make sure that all of Gu Tunan's attacks are in this triangle, it will let out a 'biu~' when the mech takes more damage than the cap!"

"But be careful not to let the damage rate go right over 100 percent."

Xie Ruhang shifted a step to the left, dodging most of the attack with an impossible speed and at an extremely tricky angle, making sure that only a small portion of the residual force landed in the area right in the center of the mech.

Gu Tunan's eyes widened slightly as he watched the mech's divine dodging skills and the active eating move at the end of the dodge, and in that instant Gu Tunan's mind flashed through a myriad of doubts-

What? Xie Ruhang managed to dodge it?

Then why didn't he duck before?

It's strange. Xie Ruhang obviously dodged it, so why did he take the initiative to get beaten up again at the end?

...... And so on!

Gu Tunan's heart skipped a beat, reacting furiously to the fact that something was wrong, and he subconsciously tried to back away when he saw the mecha in front of him make a cracking sound-

The special parts broke in half, peeling away from the massive mech's outer shell, revealing a bright glow from the inner casing.

Alarm! Alert! The damage rate has reached 98% - 98.7 % - 99.6 % - 99.9% -]

When the damage rate jumped to 99.9 %, the ear-piercing sound of the alarm ended abruptly and was replaced by a slight "biu".

Gu Tunan's eyes widened incredulously as he saw the dazzling, tear-inducing light blossom out of the fragmented mech, and the appalling energy that had been building up for so long rippled through the air-

It was like a pillar of light that struck straight across heaven and earth!

Gu Tunan hurriedly maneuvered his mech to dodge, believing that although this blow was loud, the opposite mech was at its last legs, and as long as he dodged the shockwave, he would win.

The bright and dazzling light aimed at the humanoid mech extended with a roar, it wasn't a slender beam of light, but an endless sea of light, so close that there was nowhere to escape, nowhere to avoid!

Because this strike was a strike that had accumulated all the energy of Gu Tunan's previous attacks, a strike that had transcended the mecha-assisted fighting mode and was led by the amazingly talented Xie Ruhang!

"I named this kill move 'Light' and I think it suits you."

The shaky and heavy mech that was about to disintegrate at any moment drew out a basic configuration light energy sword and swung a dominating sword to the extreme at Gu Tunan!

This sword was even more piercing than the raging sea of light, wrapped in unstoppable momentum, ruthlessly and coldly piercing into the weakest crack of the mech!

This sword caused the sea of light tumbling around to dim, as if the stars had lost their colors under the blazing sun.

Underneath this sword was a spiderweb of cracked lines, and the seemingly indestructible humanoid mech collapsed, raising a large area of dust.

The whole room was silent.

Who did not anticipate such a reversal, even Tang Bai, his heart is actually not sure, because the mech's self-explosive attack needs to strictly grasp the timing, is the implementation of the requirements of strict, need the timing and people, if not careful will backfire mech division.

The crowd was dumbfounded, except for one professor who slapped his thigh.

"So it is! I see!!!" The white-haired professor of the Mechanical Department danced like a child who had discovered a new toy, "So this is not a defensive mecha! This is a battle mech that has created a whole new means of attack!!!"

"The new mecha with the perfect fighting technique is just perfect!!!"

A nearby Mechanical Department trainee had just been startled by this professor's voice, and then in the next second was surprised by the results of the match.

Only to see the final results of the match pop up on the large light screen in the martial arts arena:

[The match is over! Xie Ruhang, a freshman from the Mech Combat Department, Class 1, Grade 18, wins!

The striking results of the match were like boiling water thrown into a frying pan, and in an instant, the entire martial arts arena boiled over!

No way! How the fuck is this even a Jedi kill?!

Xie Ruhang's last move! Yes! What! What! Ahhhhhhh coach I want to learn it too!!!]

[Xie Ruhang actually used a mech with a 99.9% damage rate to directly destroy Gu Tunan's full-blooded dirt-cheap mech?!]

[Crap, that's awesome, one hit made Gu Tunan's mech damage rate break 100%! I'm kneeling to Brother Xie!

Brother Xie! Call me God Xie!

[Brothers put God Xie's bull on the public screen!]

[God Xie I'm going to give you a monkey!!!]

Things like defeating the strong with the weak and fighting back from the dead, things that made one's blood boil just by hearing them, usually only appeared in rumors, but now, it was happening right in front of his eyes.

Unspeakable fervor surged in the chests of countless people.

"Ahhhhhhh God Xie wins!!!"

I don't know who was the first to start cheering, so the second, the third, and more and more people followed with all their strength shouting to that presence in the drill hall, "God Xie! God Xie! God Xie!!!"

The deafening cheers nearly toppled the roof of the arena and awakened Gu Tunan's senses.

He looked through the shattered screen, in a trance, looking at the military cadets in the audience who were almost mad, those military cadets were always high and proud, also, the students who could be admitted to the Federation Military Academy were the best in alpha, no one was willing to show their submissiveness easily, they might respect you superficially because of your origin, but it was difficult to want this group of high-minded and proud to submit from the bottom of their hearts.

Now, however, all of these future officer reservists, shouting the same name in unison, threw off their military hats from their hands, took off their pitch-black gloves, and even unbuttoned their jackets, waving all they could for revelry like flags and cheering sticks.

And it was Xie Ruhang, whom he had despised a second before, who accomplished this impossible feat by himself.

Gu Tunan lay dumbfounded in the scrapped cockpit, recalling the stunning sword in his mind, the sword that seemed to be able to pierce through time and space, piercing through everything in the world.

Even if he knew the timing, trajectory, and power of that sword strike, he still wouldn't be able to dodge it if he were to let Gu Tunan do it all over again.

So powerful and desperate a sword, breaking the cauldron, ruthless to the point of not leaving any way back for himself, naturally will not give the opponent to leave a ray of life.

If it wasn't for the school's cutting match, he... He should have just died under that sword ......

Thinking about this, Gu Tunan realized that he had broken out in a cold sweat at some point.

He realized that the biggest mistake he made in this battle was not losing to Xie Ruhang, but belittling Xie Ruhang.

Belittling a mech who could pull off a kill move he'd never heard of or seen in free mode.

Gu Tunan climbed out of the cockpit of his mech with difficulty, his gray-blue eyes gazed at the black mech on the martial arts arena with incomparable complexity, he was silent for a long time, and said to his opponent in the mech compartment, "You're very strong, I apologize for the contempt I had before the start of the match, and I am the one who didn't really take the match seriously, but I'll surely win over you in the future. "

After saying that, Gu Tunan looked at Tang Bai in the audience with some regret, he had been paying attention to Tang Bai's position, Tang Bai was sitting in the first row on the first floor ...... He was sitting in the first row of the ..!

What about people?

Tang Bai backhandedly jumped down from the audience, and to the crowd's astonishment, he ran unhesitatingly towards the center of the arena, towards the black mech riddled with scars.

He was running so fast, his cheeks were plastered with red letters saying "Brother Xie will be victorious", his eyes were red, and his reddened fingertips were desperately clawing forward as he ran, as if he wanted to dart to Xie Ruhang's side the next second, and touch the person in the mech who didn't know if he was alive or dead.

Brother Xie, Brother Xie, Brother Xie, nothing must happen! Nothing can happen! Nothing can happen!

Tang Bai red-eyed, looking at the humanoid mech that was covered with cracks and was about to collapse at any moment, seemed to want to pass through the thick mech and see the handsome youth inside the cockpit.

His mind could perfectly outline every detail of the other man's face, and every stroke traced by heart was sparkling, the brightest of luminaries.

The figure wrapped in light, splitting the illusory world of the book with a sword, was deeply imprinted in Tang Bai's mind.

Never before had he watched a battle and realized with such intensity and clarity that the light that illuminated his world was Xie Ruhang.

To fulfill his wish, the shiny Xie Ruhang.

Xie Ruhang was not going to use the new mech he built, but a mech called "Long Night".

It was Mouse's only mech, and the only one Xie Ruhang could assemble before entering the Federation Military Academy.

In the book, Xie Ruhang and Gu Tunan also had a mecha duel, in which Xie Ruhang used the "Long Night", and the result was an even match in the early stages, with Xie Ruhang narrowly winning in the end.

The price of victory is that Xie Ruhang's identity as a "rat" is exposed, and people with tinted glasses suddenly accuse Xie Ruhang of playing the game with too much venom and cold-bloodedness, saying that Gu Tunan lost because he was too kind, and saying that Xie Ruhang is not worthy of being the chief of the ruthless people. ......

Xie Ruhang in the book won.

Winning the overwhelming accusations and prejudice.

Everyone is saying that he won dishonorably, that he is ruthless and cold-blooded, but they are not saying that Gu Tunan's high-class mech is a privilege of the nobility, that Gu Tunan took the initiative to provoke Xie Ruhang, and that he did not leave Xie Ruhang with a way out.

Xie Ruhang can't lose.

He can't lose when he competes in the underground arena, he loses and he has nothing to lose, he has to be turned into a corpse and thrown into the streets of unattended garbage, he's on a knife edge, he rushes the fights every time because he has to.

In the Underground Arena, the keeper of the ring can be challenged, challenged by a continuous stream of opponents, all hoping to step over the keeper's corpse to get to the top.

Only this ring keeper was cold-blooded enough and cruel enough to suppress the jackals and tigers that were leaping off the stage with a thunderbolt.

Xie Ruhang can't lose.

The only advantage he had in the Federal Military Academy was his individual strength, he didn't have a superior family background, he didn't have deep knowledge, he didn't even have a long-sleeved wrist, he could only break his own way by being maverick and powerful, powerful enough to convince everyone.

Gu Tunan can win and be applauded, and shrug his shoulders and walk out of the arena when he loses, but Xie Ruhang can't, because he has no way back, because he only has this way.

So that night, Tang Bai took out his immature mech design and apprehensively told Xie Ruhang that it was a mech that hadn't been tested for safety issues, and that if Brother Xie liked it, he would give the drawing to Brother Xie.

Instead of questioning his ability to build mechs, Xie Ruhang asked him--

"Do you expect me to defeat Gu Tunan with this mech?"

Those dark phoenix eyes gazed at him silently, thin lips slightly opened, "As you wish."

*

Tang Bai finally ran to the mech, he jumped onto the three meter tall thick mech and found the location of the cockpit door at a glance, it was covered with dense cracks that showed the intensity of the battle.

His heart sank, hardly daring to imagine what the people in the cabin looked like.

Tang Bai pushed open the hatch with a trembling hand and saw Xie Ruhang, half of his face red with blood--

He was patiently wiping the blood from his face, using the same bunny handkerchief Tang Bai had given him.

Xie Ruhang, who was born in the slums, has a habit of getting himself in the best shape possible before he gets out of his mech at the end of a match, as he doesn't like to show weakness in front of the crowd.

The hatch was suddenly pushed open, brilliant daylight broke into this dim space, Xie Ruhang looked back in slight surprise, his dark phoenix eyes blinking slightly as they were not quite accustomed to the sudden bright light.

When he saw the little omega in front of him suddenly red-eyed and crackling with tears, Xie Ruhang's movements of wiping his face slowly and methodically stopped, and his slightly muffled and condensed voice revealed a trace of undetectable panic: "Why are you crying?"

Then he saw the little omega in front of him crying out snot bubbles and softly saying, "I'm, I'm happy ......"
