Free fighting is one of the most popular competitive sports in Globe Star Country in recent years.

Because after entering the Milky Way Civilization, humans needed to compete with many powerful alien race for resources, so people with outstanding individual combat abilities were especially valued.

Free fencing was different from competitive fencing. It was limited to a fixed field and had very strict rules.

On the other hand, the practice area of the Free Sword Technique was broad and there weren't many rules. The only thing that it advocated was two words, "The victor is the king."

Free fighting techniques could not only hone one one's body techniques, fighting techniques and other combat abilities, it could also increase one's reaction speed and stamina.

Of course, for an Awakened like Xia Mang who had absolute coordination, his ability to move his muscles to do so would always be at the limits of his genetic evolution at any time. Thus, speed, stamina, reaction speed, etc.

The reason he came to freely attack the sword room was mainly to train his combat ability.

After the iris verification, the gate was slowly opened after paying a fee of 500 star dollars.

Xia Mang walked in and discovered that it was an empty room that covered an area of 200 square meters. It was as if there was nothing else other than a cabinet that held the fencing equipment at the edge of the room.

However, upon a closer look, one could see that the walls were made of super alloy, and there was a grid on the walls that looked like a door.

Every two to three meters, there would be one. The sizes were about the same, and there were even rectangular nameplates hanging above them, with numbers 1, 2, and 3 written on them.

Xia Mang had already understood the rules before he entered, the corresponding fencing robots were locked inside these doors.

1, 2, and 3 represent the level of battle strength of robots, corresponding to the degree of evolution of human genes respectively.

Xia Mang thought for a while, then donned his blademaster outfit, picked up his sword and walked under the number three, and pressed his palm on the sensor on the right side of the door.

"Authentication successful. Level 3 robots are in the process of preparing. Please wear gloves, helmets and other protective equipment."

A deep mechanical voice resounded throughout the room.

Xia Mang put on the gloves and retreated to the center of the stage, quietly waiting for the robots to come out.

About four to five minutes later, the metal door slowly opened, and a machine warrior with a sword in his hand, whose body was shining with a hard luster, walked out.

Seeing that, Xia Mang immediately got ready to fight.

He knew that the moment the robot warrior appeared, it meant that he had to use the sword in his hand to pierce the effective part of the robot before he could score a score. On the contrary, if he was stabbed by the robot warrior, the sensing element in his blademaster suit would immediately make a judgement.

The swords used by both sides were specially made flexible swords, thus eliminating the possibility of being stabbed.

"Swoosh ~"

Just like that.

Under the control of the booster, the Mech soldier shot forward like a bolt of lightning.

The long sword cut through the air with a hissing sound.

Xia Mang immediately rolled over and dodged to the side. After getting up, his right hand that was holding the sword took the opportunity to pull back and directly clashed with the robot's soft sword.

There was no chance for him to adjust his breathing.

The robot continued to rush forward tirelessly, with the same momentum as before, with no signs of stopping.

Xia Mang was still adjusting his center of gravity, but seeing this scene, his entire body shivered, and his concentration dropped to the maximum.

He realized that he was dealing with a mechanical product that had no concept of fatigue or physical strength in its dictionary.

When they were created, they would just follow the procedures and fight tirelessly until all their energy was used up.

No wonder it was so difficult for humans to match up to combat robot of the same level … Xia Mang immediately experienced this. In the battles afterwards, he was initially able to interact with the robots, but in the end, as his physical strength decreased, he was basically unable to cope with it.

"Oh my god, a combat robot is so terrifying, I really don't know how abnormal those high-end living AI's are."

Xia Mang cursed in his heart as he hurriedly crawled up from the ground.

But this time, he was too slow.

The software in the robot's hand accurately hit the center of Xia Mang's back.

"Beep Beep Beep ~"

The familiar metal synthesizer voice rang again, "Robot won, challenge failed."

With that said, the combat robot finally stopped moving and turned around to return to the open third door.

Xia Mang panted heavily. He originally thought that he would be unable to match up to someone of the same level with absolute coordination.

But this battle had made him aware of himself.

The reason why he lost was not only because of his physical strength, but also because of his lack of combat skills, lack of experience, and lack of control over his weapons.

This was to say, if he met a human opponent of the same level, it would be similarly difficult for him to obtain victory once he was at a disadvantage in these areas.

"If only I could stab him a little more accurately with my sword, every movement he takes and every attack he makes would be more reasonable."

He once again opened the third door.

Today, he would have to deal with this robotic soldier!

For the next few days, Xia Mang kept on challenging the combat robot, his experience and control improving slowly.

Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the survival competition, the atmosphere of the competition also gradually became thicker.

Sitting in the classroom, everyone was discussing this matter.

Today, Bai Ke walked in with a stack of materials in his arms. He looked at the people below him and said, "Everyone knows that the annual survival competition has started."

"This survival competition is a bit special. It happens to be the final round of the quadrennial survival competitions. The victorious team will be able to enter the Water Star Tournament or even the finals at a higher level."

"As for No. 1 High School, we have prepared a total of fifteen spots for our Special classes s from different grades. We hope that everyone will sign up enthusiastically, but for those who have participated in the past, there will not be any chances this time."

According to the information in my possession, one of my classmates has already signed up in advance.

As he said this, everyone began to look at each other, guessing which one of them was so positive and confident.

Regarding this, Long Junxuan and Ye Fei were not the least bit surprised.

Bai Ke purposely stayed silent for a while, then looked at Xia Mang with a smile and said, "This student here is Xia Mang, everyone has to learn from him. Not only did he make achievements in his own field of interest, he also requested for improvement in his overall ability, which is pretty good."

At the same time, a few close friends started whispering to each other.

"Xia Mang is participating too?"

"That means there's a burden in this team of fifteen?"

"Yeah, although Xia Mang is really awesome in terms of mechs, his genetic evolution isn't that high. Becoming part of the team is just a drag!"

"Anyways, I'm not willing to be teammates with him. When the time comes, it might not be us snatching their share, but them snatching us instead."

"This time, the champion of Anhuang City will definitely be given out of our team."

"Right, after class, react with teacher. Being held up by someone is really too much of a disadvantage."

But when a group of people were unwilling, Bai Ke spoke of the main point, "Since is registering directly through the official website, he did not take up the spots allocated to us by the school. He is participating in the competition in his own right, so he is not joining our school's team."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing these words, those people who were frowning earlier all relaxed. A smile appeared on their faces as they enthusiastically moved closer to the podium to register.

Seeing this reaction, Xia Mang and Long Junxuan looked at each other as the former laughed helplessly.

Long Junxuan scoffed, "A bunch of blind people. When the competition starts, they'll know that they were wrong, haha."

Xia Mang shrugged his shoulders, "You can't put it that way. I am only one person, I am weak and lack experience in battles."

"Stop acting cute and cute! You aren't even afraid of the previous two champions, Zhou Chengyun, and you still want to act cute and tender? Do you have a sense of shame?"

Long Junxuan's eyes were filled with contempt.

Hearing that, Xia Mang laughed, then said with a deep look on his face: "Acting tough is only for an instant, and being shameless is the only way to live forever."

Long Junxuan looked at him for a long time, "I found a very serious problem."

Xia Mang was very confused: "What?"

Long Junxuan thought for a while, then said seriously: "You changed, and are no longer as simple as you were before."

Hearing that, Xia Mang was startled, he looked at him strangely and asked: "Are you talking about homework?"

"Huh?"

Long Junxuan did not react immediately, but when he regained his senses, he immediately shook his head: "I'm talking about you."

"No, you are talking about homework. That's why homework is becoming more and more complicated."

"I'm talking about you."

"No, you're talking about homework."

"Hey, how can you be so shameless?"

"Like I said, posturing is just for an instant. Shameless is eternal."

"You're shameless! I-I'm going to read a book."

Long Junxuan was speechless. He picked up the electronic book and started reading.

Xia Mang looked at him with a smile, "Right, you need to read more, and also read more. If you study more, your homework will become as simple as it used to be."

"Pfft ~!"

Hearing that, Long Junxuan could not help but spurt out a mouthful of blood from his throat, which exploded in the air.

"What are you doing?! spit on my face. "

Xia Mang rubbed it with his hand as if he despised it.

Long Junxuan suddenly laughed out loud. "Didn't you say that? Acting tough is just for an instant. Shameless is eternal. I am helping you by turning your face into a diamond.

"Haha, fuck you."

Xia Mang scolded.

Hengying Group.

Yun Shan paid close attention to his son's recent situation.

He had already contacted Sun Qiang, the head of the Hall of Honor's Public Security department. However, the latter had clearly told him that he was unable to help.

Yun Shan immediately realized that the intensity of attention in this matter had likely exceeded the limits of what he could interfere in.

Thinking of this, his hatred towards Xia Mang became even more profound.

At this time, Zhu Bingyi walked in with a stack of documents and respectfully presented it in front of him: "Chairman, this is the thing that you want."

Yun Shan finished reading the ten lines at a glance, and asked with a low voice: "You've confirmed that Xia Mang is participating right?"

Zhu Bingyi did not dare to meet his aggressive gaze, and only replied with his head lowered: "Yes, I bought this participant's roster from the Hall of Honor's information department. The authenticity is sufficiently reliable."

"Xia Mang signed up for the competition in his personal capacity. The information indicates that he does not have a team."

"Haha, very good."

Yun Shan laughed sinisterly, "Contact these participating teams and individuals for me and tell them, as long as they can cripple this Xia Mang and reward him with two hundred thousand star dollars, whoever can kill him will be rewarded with five hundred thousand star dollars. If they are investigated for legal responsibility, the lives of their families will be taken up by my Hengying Group."

"But what if the news comes out?"

Zhu Bingyi asked again.

Unexpectedly, he attracted Yun Shan's reprimand, "Trash, you still want to ask me this? What do I need you for? Won't you take the money and seal their mouths first? Would they not investigate these people before the meeting? Wouldn't it be fine to just filter out those who had a good relationship with that son of a b * tch? And how many friends could he have? How could there be news? Get lost! "

After Zhu Bingyi heard this, he nodded his head and retreated.
