Chapter 40

In the short span of two breaths, all ten mecha had exchanged blows.

Qin Yue was abnormally calm in the face of Reed and the others disorganized attacks. After he dodged Reed’s beam saber attack, he used Tai Chi’s Taut Strength technique to thrust his fist towards the other party’s arm. Reed was knocked over and fell to the ground again in a daze.

On the other side, Ling Ru and the others had only exchanged a few blows with the other party. They used the unexpected cannon fire to knock the other four people to the ground.

“Damn it, we were too careless. We didn’t even have time to react!”

“F*ck, I will tear your mecha into pieces!” In the mecha cabin, Reed’s four squadmates hurriedly operated their mecha to stand up. They covered their throbbing chests as they cursed in anger.

“Shut up. Although we were careless, their close-range combat capabilities are not that much stronger than ours.”

“It’s true that we underestimated them. Everyone, calm down.”

Reed had stood up and instantly went on heightened alert. His eyes were filled with caution, and at the same time, his mind rapidly calculated his next attack.

Amongst the audience, a portion of them who had paid attention to both squads at all times watched Reed’s squad get sent flying in the first round. They shouted out in succession,

“F*ck, what is Wright Academy doing? They’re in such a sorry state in the first round!”

“Hey, Del, looks like you’re going to run around naked!”

“It’s obvious that Wright Academy underestimated their opponent in the battle just now. They charged forward without any formation. Now that Wright Academy has learned their lesson, how could I possibly run around naked!”

On the other side, Frey saw his student’s sorry state and immediately cursed with a dark face.

“Bastards, I told you to end the battle quickly, not charge in blindly!”

“If such a situation happens again, all of you can go to the toilet and clean it!”

Wang Yangming, who sat next to him, smiled and said, “Being your student must be quite miserable. The toilets will probably be cleaned by them with their tongues!”

“Wang Yangming, just you wait and see. Your academy is destined to be defeated by us!” Frey snorted coldly and continued to watch the battle on the field.

At that moment, Qin Yue had already evaluated that the strength of Reed and his squad. Through the short exchange and his observation of the battle, Qin Yue determined that his squad could win without using too much of their strength.

At the same time, Qin Yue had also already determined a way to end the battle quickly.

“Use your ranged weapons to blast the ground around them. Remember that our goal is to blindside them, not to attack them directly. When the smoke rises high enough, rush over and finish them off!”

Immediately after, Qin Yue and the others fired their artillery continuously. Seeing that, Reed and the others immediately took a few steps back. However, just as they were about to retreat, they suddenly stopped in their tracks and were dumbfounded.

The ordnance that was supposed to be hitting them only exploded in front of their mechas. After the barrage was over, it did not hit them even once.

“Haha, their mecha’s targeting systems must be broken. We’ve stood here for a long time, yet they didn’t hit us once.”

“They’re probably setting off a fireworks show for us. With such rubbish accuracy, could it be that we overestimated their strength?”

Just as the few of them trash talked their opponents, Reed looked at the dozens of meters of black smoke in front of him that blocked their line of sight. He could not help but feel a sense of unease.

“Retreat and prepare to counterattack!”

They had misunderstood Qin Yue and the others’ intentions with the smokescreen. The moment he gave the order to attack, the black smoke had spread out in front of them and obscured Qin Yue’s squad. When they suddenly appeared in front of Reed it was already too late.

Qin Yue’s Sky Hunter was like a fierce tiger. The XA-Wolf Talon in his fist tore at Reed at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye. The other members of his squad also drew their close combat weapons and attacked their respective opponents.

Reed and the others were stunned. By the time they realized that the situation was not right, Qin Yue and the others were already on top of them. They had no time to deal with the sudden attack.

Defense? It was too late!

Qin Yue’s modified XA-Wolf Talon pierced Reed’s mecha’s body in the blink of an eye.

[Warning! Mecha damage: 10% !]

[Warning! Mecha damage: 30% !]

[Warning! Mecha damage: 60% !]

Inside the mecha, Reed looked helplessly at the flashing red lights and fell into complete despair.

Only then did he understand that they were the sheep and Qin Yue and the others were the wolves in sheep’s clothing!

With his mecha damaged to that extent, even if they could still resist, it was already impossible for them to defeat Qin Yue.

It was the same for the rest. Reed’s four squadmates did not even have the time to react. In just the span of a few breaths, they had all continuously suffered heavy blows from Wang Jun and the others!

Among the five mechas, red warning lights flashed continuously at the same time. By the time everyone had reacted, the battle had already ended. Reed and his squad had no choice but to surrender.

“Congratulations to K10 Academy, Victory!”

The host held the microphone in his hand and shouted excitedly before speaking again.

“K10 Academy, you have a half an hour break in the midfield. Prepare for the second round of battle!”

Below the stage, the audience only came back to their senses when the referee announced the results. Following that, waves of cheers rang out.

“F*ck! Awesome!”

“I’ve f*cking watched so many mecha competitions. This is the first time I’ve seen a battle end so quickly!”

“Haha, didn’t you say that Wright Academy lost and you ran around naked? You can start now.”

At that moment, Wang Yangming looked at the battle that had ended in the arena and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He really could not believe that the battle had ended so quickly.

Even if he had confidence in Qin Yue’s group of five previously, in his heart, he estimated that the victor would only be determined after a hundred rounds. He had never thought that in the end, he would be unable to understand the depths of the strength of Qin Yue’s group.

Following that, Wang Yangming looked at Frey and laughed without any restraint. He completely ignored his ashen face.

“Sigh, I don’t know which old fly was buzzing in my ear just now. Now that the little fly has been swatted to death, it’s become quite peaceful!”

Wang Yangming wore a satisfied look on his face. His face was full of pride.

“Wang Yangming, you…”

Frey wanted to roar as he looked at Wang Yangming, but he forcefully swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Frey could not believe it for a long time as he looked at the five damaged mecha in the arena. The students that he was so proud of had lost just like that, and so quickly too!

On the other side, Qin Yue’s squad did not return to the resting room. Instead, they went to the spectator stand where Wang Yangming was to spend the rest of the time watching the battles of the other squads.

As soon as Qin Yue arrived at the tall audience stand, he started to look at the different battle zones below the stage.

When Qin Yue saw the arena in the middle, his footsteps suddenly stopped. Even his pupils could not help but tremble slightly.

At that moment, the audience around Qin Yue also let out hysterical roars and cheers. All sorts of emotions were mixed within.

“F*ck! Is that really a battle between students?”

“Haha, I’m getting a little excited watching this! This isn’t a competition, it’s clearly a gladiator arena!”

“The people from the Dominator Academy are indeed deserving of being the number one academy. The combat strength of their students was monstrous!”

“The Berserk Dragon Academy isn’t too bad either. They are ranked seventh at the very least. It’s just that their luck isn’t good. They randomly challenged the number one academy!”

In Qin Yue’s eyes, ten mecha with different designs were currently engaged in an incomparably shocking ‘hand-to-hand combat’. From the cheers of the audience, Qin Yue knew the rankings of these two squads. The one who had the advantage was ranked first, the one who had the slight disadvantage was ranked seventh.

In his eyes, regardless of whether it was the Dominator Academy that had the upper hand or the disadvantaged Berserk Dragon Academy, their battle was the most overbearing and powerful attack that Qin Yue had ever seen!

All ten people down there seemed to have monstrous strength. They could easily make short work of Wright Academy. In Qin Yue’s heart, even the pilots of the losing Berserk Dragon Academy could easily match up to Ling Ru and the other three..
