TSS!

TSS!

On the stage, the Battle Dragon Mecha’s broken arm, which was more than ten meters long, lay quietly on the ground. From time to time, it would emit an ear-piercing shriek of electricity.

The now one-armed Battle Dragon Mecha lay in the deep pit beside the broken arm.

In just an instant, the renowned Battle Dragon Mecha was disarmed by an opponent that everyone had considered just trash. Qin Yue, who piloted that trash mecha, had reduced the Battle Dragon Mecha into such a sorry state! The scene left tens of thousands of people were completely dumbfounded on the spectator’s stand.

It was unbelievable. It seemed to be the opposite of what they had imagined. The first reason for this outcome was that it would be difficult for them to accept!

One had to know that the pilot of the Battle Dragon Mecha was a student of the Mecha Academy’s advanced year elite class. He was a genius who was about to graduate!

Moreover, as a student in the academy, he had already piloted various mecha and participated in real battles. He was considered a genius who had obtained his share of military accolades.

A genius with such outstanding abilities was disarmed by a well-known trash in an instant!

“Holy sh*t! Did you guys see what just happened? The Battle Dragon Mecha that Li Yang piloted got beaten up so badly in the blink of an eye!”

“Is that Qin Yue really a piece of trash who initially struggled to even make his mech walk just now?”

“Li Yang must have been distracted while piloting the mech. Otherwise, how could a piece of trash be able to do this!”

Just as everyone was puzzled and confused.

Bang!

The Battle Dragon Mech that had fallen on the stage was under Li Yang’s control. He slammed one hand on the ground and the 30-meter-tall body flew into the air. The tall and mighty body once again stood on the ground.

“There’s still one minute left. It’s impossible for you to pass the trial with me as an opponent!”

In the cockpit of the Battle Dragon Mecha, Li Yang roared ferociously.

As a genius, he had been the envy of countless people since he was young. Now, he was left in such a sorry state in the hands of a piece of trash!

Emotions of denial and anger surged into his heart.

At that moment, he no longer cared about giving the students a fair trial as an examiner.

Without much thought, Li Yang operated the one-armed mecha and pulled out the Lacerta Beam Saber on his back.

The Lacerta Beam Saber he wielded had a gold dragon head on its grip, and the entire saber body was in the shape of a red beam.

At that moment, the Battle Dragon Mecha held up its customized Lacerta Beam Saber, which caused its somewhat miserable appearance to suddenly transform. 

It was as if it had become an awe-inspiring warrior on the battlefield!

“This… This is the first time I’ve seen Li Yang use a weapon when operating a mecha. Is he getting serious now?”

“Haha, he’s already pulled out his weapon. Looks like that trash will not be able to pass the trial.”

“The show is getting good now! I reckon that the mecha piloted by that trash, Qin Yue, is going to be scrapped!”

Below the stage, the audience began to shout when they saw the Battle Dragon Mecha with its weapon drawn.

That was because most of them knew that the beam saber in Li Yang’s hand was his strongest weapon.

His battle prowess had soared by more than half.

However, would things really end as they had imagined? That is, would Qin Yue not be able to resist and be eliminated from the trial?

On the stage, after Li Yang pulled out his weapon, he brandished it as he charged towards Qin Yue.

Faced with the menacing Battle Dragon Mecha, Qin Yue did not panic in the slightest.

Qin Yue made his mecha position the weapon in its hand in front of the mecha’s chest. Then, under everyone’s astonished gazes, he actually took the initiative to meet the Battle Dragon Mecha’s charge head-on.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them were less than ten meters apart. Li Yang’s swung his beam saber first as it left a red afterimage in the air!

“At this distance, let’s see you dodge this! You’d better get off the stage!”

Li Yang had absolute confidence when he fought at that distance. With the speed at which his Mental Strength drove his saber, Qin Yue would definitely not be able to dodge in time.

However, the seemingly impossible distance was something that Qin Yue, who had mastered Grandmaster Tai Chi, could comfortably fight at.

The moment when he swung his blade, Qin Yue used the Swimming Dragon Step Tai Chi technique. The huge body of the mecha seemed like a ghost as it dodged the blow.

Bang!

Li Yang’s attack missed as it landed on the stage instead and created a pitch-black ravine!

In the cockpit, Li Yang was dumbfounded when he saw that his attack had missed.

However, Li Yang, who had rich battle experience, instantly regained his senses and wanted to sweep his weapon back towards his opponent.

However, it was too late. The moment Qin Yue dodged, the weapon in his hand had already swung towards his opponent. It slashed the Battle Dragon Mecha’s remaining arm.

Zap!

With a slash, the beam saber was embedded into the Battle Dragon Mecha’s arm, leaving a visible crack on its pitch-black arm!

Seeing this, Qin Yue did not hesitate as he released the beam saber, then grabbed the Battle Dragon Mecha’s half-severed arm. With a fierce tug, the Battle Dragon Mecha’s last arm was separated from its body!

TSS TSS TSS!

Below the stage, a deathly silence had fallen as the cheers had unknowingly stopped.

“F*ck… This is it? Why is the Battle Dragon Mecha being beaten up again?”

“F*ck, this is ridiculous. He can even dodge at such a distance!”

“Was this a fake trial? Since when could a Training Mecha unleash such combat power, and even be able to defeat the Battle Dragon Mecha so easily!”

“F*ck, even in its strongest state, it was defeated just like that?”

At the back of the crowd, Lin Yue raised her slender hand to cover her mouth that had been ajar for a long time.

“Qin Yue, although I don’t know when you became so strong, I’m happy for you and Little Qin Yu!”

…

At the same time.

[Alarm! Alarm!]

[The Battle Dragon Mecha has sustained 80% damage, and its combat power has been greatly reduced!]

[Alarm! Alarm!]

[The Battle Dragon Mecha has sustained 80% damage, and its combat power has been greatly reduced!]

Li Yang listened to the alarm in the cockpit, and his expression instantly darkened.

At that moment, he only felt ashamed that the Battle Dragon Mecha had been crippled by a piece of trash. It was the greatest insult to his pride.

“Fight! If I can still fight, and so can you Battle Dragon Mecha! If my arms can’t do it, I’ll use my legs. I definitely can’t let this piece of trash pass the trial!”

The endless sense of humiliation once again ignited Li Yang’s fighting spirit. However, just as he was about to make his mecha stand, the instructor in charge of the arena suddenly came between the two mechas and raised his right arm as he said loudly.

“Student Qin Yue from the ninth round of the entrance examination has passed!”

“The Battle Dragon Mecha has been severely damaged. The trial will be on break for two hours. A new trial mecha is on its way.”

Seeing the instructor who had come out to stop him, Lin Yang had no choice but to suppress the impulses in his heart.

It was also at that moment that the audience below the arena finally noticed that Qin Yue’s Mental Strength had changed at some point in time through the huge screen information above the arena.

[6th generation Training Mecha: Assault Type]

[Tonnage: 240 tons]

[Mecha Mental Strength range: 4 points — 20 points]

[Pilot: Qin Yue]

[Mental Strength: 33 points]

[Basic information: Elite student of the Mecha Academy]

[Battle achievements: None]

“Damn! Wasn’t his Mental Strength only at 3 points just now? How did it become 33 points!”

“33 points? Are you kidding me? I’m also an old student of the Mecha Academy. Even I don’t have 33 points of Mental Strength!”

“F*ck, I’m so envious. He went straight from 3 point trash to a top-notch genius with 33 points of Mental Strength.”

Among the audience, some were envious of Qin Yue. There were also some who were unhappy that Qin Yue had passed the trial.

Except for Lin Yue, no one else was happy for him..
