Shi Lang had suddenly taken advantage and the spear in his hand was stabbed through the chest of the enemy mecha. He did not wait for the enemy to recover from shock and with a twist he pulled out the weapon quickly. Then he swung it hard and hit directly on the side of the enemy mech.
This strike left the visual system in a glitchy situation and he dashed forward. The Spear was dropped when he took initiative to charge at the enemy. Then his empty palms clasped around the horns on the enemy mecha skull, and with his complete force, he twisted the head.
The shocked audience heard a simple, clicking sound, and they became aware that the head of the enemy mecha was disjointed.
Yes, Shi Lang had directly taken off the head after unlocking the clipping system with such efficiency. He took advantage of his technical knowledge. After so many days in this place, he had come to understand how the other parties manufactured their mechas.
OB-One had compiled a lot of basic structure of the mechas for him to study them. Shi Lang was aware of the things and he even spent time to practice how to disjoint the couplers in simulation realm. He was able to achieve this level with his hard work.
After the head was disjointed, Shi Lang yanked the unit and sparks flew out from the neck of the mecha. The broken and connected wires all came out. Shi Lang then kicked the other party in the chest and made the enemy move back, but the head was held in his hands.
The kick was strong, yet the enemy still did not fall, this was the testament to his skills. Shi Lang nodded in approval of his skills. However, just because of this, he had no intention to go easy on the person. He tossed the head aside, and a strong roar sounded from the enemy camp, “Krumm, kill him.”
They had taken his action as disrespect and insult to their entire civilization. They did not want him to walk out of the arena alive. Shi Lang tilted to the side to look past the enemy mecha and found a person standing at the edge of the observation room breathing heavily.
Shi Lang sighed and moved forward to attack, however, the enemy was able to avoid his attacks. The young general frowned and retreated to create a distance between them.
…
Ryan asked, “Why did he pull back?”
This was a golden moment, Shi Lang could have overwhelmed the enemy with his skills at this moment, but it did not happen, on the other hand, the enemy was able to resist the final blows. The tech in the mecha was not shallow at all.
Jane said, “Lang, we are detecting a sonar wave pattern coming from the enemy.”
Shi Lang replied, “Roger that.”
Lucas said, “Now do you understand why? These people copied our tech, but they did not use the sonar modules from the start. This is why Shi Lang pulled back, he does not want to fight this guy quickly and then end up suffering.”
The rest of the team nodded when they heard this point. After all, calm and patience will definitely lead one to win, impatience was not a good thing.
On the field, Shi Lang kept moving and situation had entered a stalemate. He was not liking it. He said, “Lucas, where is my sword.”
Lucas could detect the hint of impatience and replied, “Checking right away.”
…
In the mech bay, Jack and Steel were standing in front of a fabricator and they were looking at the grinder sharpening the five-meter-long sword. The curved blade was shining slightly as the edge was coming out slowly. The face of the blade had the seal of the shura.
Jack had also arranged a few array patterns on the blade. They were going to embed these patterns with spirit stone powder. Just when they were thinking what an outstanding job they have done, the communicator rang.
Steel picked up and said, “Steel.”
Lucas said, “Lang will melt your butts. You have ten minutes to come over.”
Steel said, “Fifteen and I will be there with the sword.”
His tone was calm and not effected by the urgency shown by Lucas. The latter could only sigh and said, “Fine.”
…
Lucas said, “Lang, hold for fifteen minutes.”
Shi Lang replied, “Fine.”
Then he thought of something while dodging a sword slash narrowly, and said, “Turn off the Sonar detection system.”
The on-board computer said, “Acknowledged.”
Shi Lang did this for a reason, the sound emitted from his mecha stopped. This was helping the enemy was able to detect his presence even quickly and accurately. The enemy might have copied their technology but they did not know that it was not that simple.
The Terrans have combined the sonar detection with visual detection and the spirit chip in the main processing unit was the third sensor. If the pilot initiated the neural link, then his performance will increase by at least ten folds. The sensory data from the chip will be directly transmitted to the brain of the pilot.
…
Arianta was shocked to see this and said, “I never expected such talented people to exist in this level.”
For what it mattered, she had not switched on her microphone, and this statement was just a comment to self. The battle below continued, and the people kept watching with all their concentration.
Soon, fifteen minutes have passed, and Shi Lang was about to call the monitoring station when the latter reached him, “Boss, they are here.”
Shi Lang nodded and said, “Time to end this.”
The spear, which who knew when he picked up, flew from his hand and like a dart stabbed in the chest of the enemy mecha again, however, this time, Shi Lang did not take back the spear and said, “Explode.”
The spearhead was installed with a small phaser-nade. The remote command detonated it. The mecha exploded, revealing a hole in the chest. Shi Lang however, did not seem to care and walked back to the monitoring station calmly.
Arianta was about to announce the result when Shi Lang asked, “Excuse me, can I collect my weapon from the observation room?”
The lady nodded and said, “The winner of the first battle is the federal team pilot, Ace.”
Shi Lang disregarded this and stood in front of the observation room, Steel and Jack, with the help of the entire team, held the blunt end of the sword. The came to the edge and slowly lowered the black blade.
The young general caught the hilt and lifted the blade before swinging it for a few times. He admired the blade and said, “Good job.”
With that he turned around and faced the new enemy. The mecha was similar to the last one, just with the color difference and this person was carrying a battle-ax.
Arianta said, “Let us begin the second round.”
The computerized count down started again, and Shi Lang began to calm himself down. His person had come over the obstructing thoughts in his mind and entered the state of indifference. His mind was at Zero.
The countdown ended, a cold voice sounded, “Begin.”
The enemy charged at him swinging his huge four meter battle-ax at Shi lang. However, the latter did not move, he stood still. As if the incoming attack had nothing to do with him.
Some of the people who were watching the live broadcast could not help but say that this guy, who was dodging and duking with the last opponent was now scared of the ferocious Saladar warrior in front of him.
Suddenly, they all wished to find a hole and hide in it. Shi Lang took half a step back, avoided the ax attack on himself, and then he moved a step forward diagonally. Then his sword flashed, and things stopped.
The enemy did not even had the chance, Shi Lang covered the edge of the blade with spirit energy and the blade went through the mecha like a butter block under a hot knife.
This was something no one had expected, but Shi lang did it. To cover up that his blade was not extraordinary, his spirit energy added a little charm at the edge, making the people put down their greed and doubts.
The computer announced, “Battle ended, winner, Shi Lang.”
The people were shocked, the person who was dealing with the enemy with great pain a few minutes ago, took down this guy with just a slash, was this not a bit too much for them to digest. What was even more, the enemy was standing there like a statue. They did not understand why the result came out so soon.
Shi Lang looked at the confused crowd and nudged the enemy mecha with his hand. The chest of the enemy mecha slid and the unit fell to the ground in two pieces. Shi Lang had severed the body of the pilot in two along with the mecha.
