Chapter 131: Chapter 34: Turning the Tide (Second Update)
“Hmm?”
The students from Noah Academy were stunned, had they won?
It must be luck.
Some hesitated to leave, turning their attention to the scene.
Although not much hope was held, they still wanted to see the outcome.
“Unexpectedly, the mecha master from Sije Academy was knocked down, it seems he underestimated his opponent, thinking he could easily deal with the last mecha master from Noah Academy,” the live broadcaster continued.
The people of Steel Dome City didn’t care much either, thinking it was just a fluke.
Now, the fight should be over, right?
Xu Mo was not completely in the zone yet; he was a bit dazed.
He had wandered onto the battlefield and bewilderingly taken down an opponent.
He hadn’t even fully adapted to the mecha.
Once immersed, he completely entered his own world.
Activating the power of the mecha, he took a few steps forward, then glided.
Front, back, left, right… he tested the speed.
Jumping, he tested the height.
Checking what movements the mecha could perform.
The War Saber on his arm lifted, shook it around, and made some bizarre movements.
“What is he doing?” the broadcaster was puzzled.
The students from Noah Academy were also bewildered.
“Is he provoking Sije Academy?”
“These strange movements, are they also part of the teaching curriculum at Noah Academy’s Mechanical Department?”
The reporter continued in the live broadcast as the Noah Academy students put their hands on their heads, feeling embarrassed.
What is he doing?
Let’s go, let’s go.
“Xiao Xiao, he’s even sillier than you,” Sun Xiaoxiao and her companions were also preparing to leave, someone next to Sun Xiaoxiao said.
“You’re the silly one, I am lively and cute,” Sun Xiaoxiao retorted.
“Ah, this time our Mechanical Department’s face has been rubbed in the dirt,” a woman nearby said dejectedly.
Who is this, wanting to step forward?
As if they weren’t embarrassed enough.
Xu Mo, while adapting, sensed that this third-generation mecha was very flexible and highly maneuverable.
Deciding to charge and test it out.
Just then, another mecha from Sije Academy charged at high speed, War Saber held high, exuding a sense of oppression.
“Boom…”
Xu Mo, who had just been making funny movements, suddenly stopped, energy bursting out, the mecha activated, shooting towards the opponent like an arrow released from a bow.
The two mechas were making high-precision movements, the Sije Academy mecha master chopping down with his War Saber quickly, accurately, and fiercely.
Xu Mo also struck with his saber, their War Sabers rubbing against each other, Xu Mo’s War Saber using the force to slide past the opponent’s saber and directly chopping down on the mecha.
“Bang…”
A loud noise erupted, Xu Mo’s War Saber hit the opponent’s mecha, which instantly changed from advancing to retreating to unload the force, skillfully handled.
But how could Xu Mo give him a chance, energy burst out again, his speed and power surged, his War Saber pressing against the opponent’s mecha body, sparking brilliantly.
Accompanied by a loud noise, the opposing mecha crashed to the ground heavily.
“I…”
Someone from Noah Academy cursed.
What’s going on?
Pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger?
A hidden master?
A murmur spread through the crowd, those who had wanted to leave now stopped, watching as Xu Mo’s mecha glided, while a mecha lay on the ground.
The first time was a fluke.
This time it was a direct confrontation, a dominant instant kill.
The live broadcaster’s voice also paused; she looked at the battlefield, her tone somewhat disjointed, “The last mecha master from Noah Academy seems, actually quite powerful…”
Sun Xiaoxiao was also stopped, and they looked back towards the battlefield.
“What’s happening?” Sun Xiaoxiao was confused.
Many people still hadn’t figured it out.
At that moment, two more mecha masters from Sije Academy charged towards Xu Mo.
The two simultaneously raised their arms, firing directly.
It was a mecha sea tactic adopted by Noah Academy for the final battle, a group fight by nature, so they naturally didn’t mind two fighting at once.
Xu Mo controlled his mecha to slide backwards, under spiritual power control, the mecha was extremely sensitive, capable of performing various high-precision movements as long as the neural reaction speed was strong enough.
The two mechas continued to chase forward, with suppressive firepower.
Suddenly, Xu Mo stopped retreating, turned the energy to maximum, and the black mecha shot out.
Intense firepower swept around the mecha, but somehow did not touch Xu Mo’s mecha.
“What terrifying reaction speed, who is this mecha master?” someone from Noah Academy wondered internally.
The two Sije Academy mechas began to disperse left and right, continuing with heavy firepower.
Xu Mo charged at high speed towards one mecha, his evasive moves textbook classic.
“Can’t touch him, even the firepower from behind can’t reach him, what kind of reaction speed is this?”
“Bang.” The War Saber was raised high, striking one mecha in the head.
Another mecha fell to the ground, out of commission, losing its combat power.
Xu Mo didn’t stop; his mecha traced an arc, turning, and charged towards the other mecha.
That mecha no longer seemed confident, and it began to retreat while firing.
But soon, Xu Mo caught up.
The War Saber swept out, directly slicing the mecha horizontally, sending it sliding across the ground with a loud screeching noise.
The entire place fell silent; compared to the earlier noise and swearing, the battlefield now seemed somewhat quiet.
“Why has it gone quiet?” The people stepping out of the Mechanical Building felt something odd and cast suspicious glances behind them.
Leng Qiu, who had left the area, also glanced in the direction of the battlefield.
Was it over?
“Roar…” Suddenly, a strong shout erupted, resembling a mountain torrent and a tsunami, echoing throughout the Mechanical Building.
Leng Qiu was startled.
What happened?
“What’s the situation?” asked the people walking out, some of whom started looking back.
Something was not right!
Steel Dome City, those people who were prepared to leave also looked up again towards the screen overhead.
The lonely Black Mecha still stood there, and many began to applaud.
Was this Noah Academy’s final defiance?
With his lone strength against four Mechas of World Nobility Academy, this Mechanical Master from Noah Academy had indeed earned applause.
He was upholding the last bit of dignity for Noah Academy.
The live reporter took a deep breath, adjusted his tone, and spoke, “Just when we thought the battle had ended, a Mechanical Master from Noah Academy stepped forward and defeated several opponents. Perhaps, this is the strongest Mechanical Master from Noah Academy this year, Even if he ultimately loses, he still deserves pride.”
“Dinas has come out; Noah Academy is now facing the final judgment.”
“This last Mechanical Master, in what way will he fall? Regardless of the outcome, he has already earned respect.”
While the reporter was speaking, Dinas’s Mecha had already moved, sliding towards Xu Mo with terrifying speed.
The golden Mecha shone brilliantly, exuding an oppressive aura.
As a Mechanical Talent with an A+ rating, Dinas had already proven his strength in defeating Reynolds.
However, in World Nobility Academy, Lin Jue’s presence overshadowed his.
Xu Mo saw the golden Mecha charging toward him; his driven Black Mecha also moved, and at this moment, he was fully immersed, entering a combat state.
Every movement of the golden Mecha was captured, displayed in his mind.
“Boom…” A dominating punch came crashing in.
Dinas’s Mecha was a weapon-switching Mecha, and this type of Mecha was pricier.
At that moment, the weapon-mode of the Mecha was configured to a fist, domineering and unparalleled.
As Dinas threw his punch, Xu Mo’s War Saber also slashed out.
In the silent space, the War Saber and fist collided, emitting a piercing friction sound.
“He blocked it; Noah Academy’s Black Mecha blocked Dinas’s attack,” the live reporter shouted excitedly.
“Dinas’s other fist also hammered out, and the Black Mecha’s War Saber lashed out…”
“Too fast; both their attacks are too fast.”
“I can’t keep up; what level of control is this?”
“This is so thrilling; both are close-combat Mechas, which more heavily tests neural response speed and absolute control over the Mecha. Was this Noah Academy’s hidden ace? Stepping forward only at the last moment, he’s actually able to withstand Dinas’s brutal attack.”
The reporter’s speech sped to the limit, but still couldn’t catch up with the speed of their collision.
Dinas’s punch came swiftly, but all were blocked by Xu Mo’s War Saber.
The entire real battlefield was dead silent, with students of Noah Academy holding their breath in attention.
It was unexpected that the student leader still had a trick up his sleeve – who was this freshman student?
Leng Qiu returned, she came back to watch the battle from the outside of the battlefield.
As she saw the fight in the battlefield, she was also stunned.
Did this year’s freshmen have such skill?
How did she not know?
So, who was piloting the Black Mecha?
“Dinas’s attacks are faster, yet still ineffective; Noah Academy’s mysterious Mecha is speeding up its War Saber even more. Can Dinas take him down?”
“No… he’s still getting stronger; the War Saber is getting faster. How is he doing this, he’s counterattacking, he’s actually counterattacking.”
“Dinas is retreating.”
“God, what am I seeing? What level of combat is this?”
The reporter was somewhat incoherent.
At this moment, not only the Mechanical Building of Noah Academy quieted down, many citizens on the streets of Steel Dome City also fell silent, watching the fierce battle of Mechas on the screens in shock.
“He’s still becoming stronger; why do I feel like he’s continuously adapting to the Mecha, how strong is this mysterious Mechanical Master from Noah Academy exactly?”
“Dinas can hardly hold on anymore.”
“Bang…”
A loud sound rang out, and the live reporter suddenly went silent, her gaze fixed on the battlefield.
After a moment of stunned silence, she continued to speak, “Dinas, has fallen!”
“Roar, roar, roar!”
The entire Mechanical Building went wild.
He won, he won again.
Their gaze fell on the still-standing Black Mecha in the battlefield, the lone Mecha.
He with his lone strength, upholding the honor of Noah Academy.
A solo hero.
So thrilling.
Even sensitive girls were moved to tears, the previous humiliation vividly in their minds.
Luckily, they still had someone who could fight.
To battle for honor.
“Lin Jue, he’s entered the field,” the reporter’s voice came again, “After Dinas’s fall, it meant Noah Academy’s Black Mecha had carved through World Nobility Academy’s Mechanical Department alone, only Lin Jue could defeat him.”
“Such a fairytale scenario; originally thought to be a crushing battle, a humiliating defeat for Noah Academy, nobody expected this Black Mecha to stand out, turning the tide, and forcing out Lin Jue.”
“This will be the final battle.”
“The Black Mecha will continue to uphold Noah Academy’s honor. Can he withstand Lin Jue?”
“Regardless of victory or defeat, having reached this far, he can be proud; he is about to face the Mechanical King of this generation’s Eight Extraordinary Colleges.”
The Mechanical Building of Noah Academy once again fell silent, as if they all felt the oppressive presence come from Lin Jue.
The number one Mechanical talent among the freshmen of the Eight
