Chapter 132: Chapter 35: The Birth of a New King (Third Update)
Steel Dome City, countless people are looking up at the screens.
Even Triumph Street has quieted down, all the pedestrians couldn’t help but stop in their tracks, their gazes fixated on the two mechas.
The white mecha, acclaimed as the top new mecha of the Eight Extraordinary Colleges, noble and invincible.
The black mecha, upholding the honor of Noah Academy.
Just as the reporter said, win or lose, he had already made them proud.
Alone, he defended the honor of Noah Academy, and even if he eventually fell, his defeat would still be honorable.
The Mechanical Department of Noah Academy, was there really such a super new student hidden within?
……
In Lin Qingze’s office, at this moment Lin Qingze felt as if each day was like a year.
He wished this exchange would be over soon.
He hoped the defeat wouldn’t be too embarrassing.
“Knock, knock, knock…” Urgent knocks on the door can be heard.
“Not in,” Lin Qingze replied.
Still knocking even though the door is locked?
No sense of observation at all.
“Dean Lin, was it you who arranged this backup plan or was it Leng Qiu,” the person outside asked.
“???” Lin Qingze: “What backup plan?”
“So it was Leng Qiu. Dean Lin, who is the pilot of that black mecha? His mechanical talent must be at least A+, why was there no information on him before?”
“???”
Lin Qingze said, “What are you talking about?”
“Didn’t you watch the livestream? After our academy’s Mechanical Department got wiped out, a mysterious mecha appeared that turned the tide against World Noble College, fought all the way to Lin Jue, and now, the ultimate showdown with Lin Jue is about to begin.”
Lin Qingze jumped up from his chair.
“Dean Lin, I’m going back to watch the livestream.” The person left, and Lin Qingze hurriedly found the remote to turn on the TV in his office.
The instant the TV screen lit up, he saw the two mechas standing in the middle of the battlefield.
One black, one white.
He naturally knew that the white mecha’s pilot was Lin Jue, but who was piloting the black mecha?
What had he missed?
Lin Qingze opened his communicator to contact Leng Qiu, but got no response.
He tried several of the Mechanical Department’s teachers in quick succession, and not a single one answered; they were all watching the duel.
“It’s started, Lin Jue has made his move, the Mechanical King, wielding the sword of kings, is charging at the black mecha of Noah Academy.” From the TV, the reporter’s live broadcast can be heard.
In the battlefield, Lin Jue charged towards the black mecha with terrifying speed.
“The black mecha has also moved, he is not sitting ducks, he actually launched an attack on Lin Jue as well, is he crazy?”
The two mechas rushed towards each other at high speed, their energy sword and the Energy Battle Blade slashing almost simultaneously and then colliding.
Sliding at high speed, the Energy Blade and Energy Battle Blade collided fiercely, each strike pulling at everyone’s heartstrings.
“What did I just see, World Noble College continuously challenged five colleges, for the first time, someone is confronting Lin Jue head-on, his War Saber is as fast as Lin Jue’s sword, he’s not taking a defensive stance but an offensive one, clashing against Lin Jue.”
“What level of operation is this?”
“Words can no longer describe the shock this battle has given me; forgive my previous bias, this mysterious black mecha, he possesses strength not inferior to Lin Jue, he is challenging the title of this generation’s new Mechanical King.”
“Noah Academy has hidden a super new star.”
Lin Qingze kept guessing at Xu Mo’s identity, his heart skipped a beat at the reporter’s words, then suddenly he thought of someone, picked up the communicator, and dialed a number.
“What is it?” A lazy voice came through the communicator.
“Old Dean, Xu Mo, can he operate a mecha?” Lin Qingze asked.
“Yes.” The Old Dean’s reply was short and clear.
“Is he strong?” Lin Qingze continued to ask.
“At least S.” The response was still simple.
Lin Qingze put down the communicator, staring blankly at the TV screen for a moment.
What kind of monster is this!
As if he thought of something, he didn’t continue watching, but quickly left his office and then dashed towards the direction of the Mechanical Building.
Inside the campus of Noah Academy, many people received the news, and some who had just left the Mechanical Building suddenly turned around and ran back.
Those on the road were baffled, unaware of what had happened.
“Someone from the Mechanical Department swept through World Noble College and is now going one-on-one with Lin Jue,” yelled a pedestrian on the street.
“F*ck!”
Hearing this, one of the people who had just left the Mechanical Building and was still cursing burst out with an expletive and then ran back.
What had they missed?
In the academy, countless people rushed towards the Mechanical Building.
At the same moment, the Mechanical Building was exceptionally quiet; everyone held their breath, watching the two mechas collide again and again.
This mysterious mecha was engaged in a fierce battle with Lin Jue.
Many people had never seen mechas perform such precise high-difficulty maneuvers, attacks so rapid, the oppressive atmosphere in the battlefield felt suffocating.
Is this a new student of the Mechanical Department?
“Xiao Xiao, can you do it?” asked the person beside Sun Xiaoxiao.
Sun Xiaoxiao shook her head and muttered, “Are these two guys even human?”
“Bang.”
Another intense collision occurred, and the two mechas briefly separated, standing apart, facing each other.
“He can’t possibly win, can he?” a voice arose in the minds of the people from Noah Academy.
They had never thought about winning before.
All they had wanted was not to lose too disgracefully.
But now, they actually harbored such extravagant hopes.
“It’s stopped. After a continuous exchange, neither has gained the upper hand. This mysterious black mecha has blocked Lin Jue’s assault, the first time Lin Jue has encountered such a formidable opponent.”
“Let us reintroduce Lin Jue, a freshman in the Mechanical Department of Shi Jue College, with a Source Power Fusion A+ and a Source Power Level of B minus. His mecha assessment rating is S, hailed as the number one person in mecha from the Eight Extraordinary Colleges. Yet such a favored son of heaven has met a match worthy of his skill in Noah Academy.”
“So, who is in Noah Academy’s black mecha? His opponent is none other than Lin Jue—an S-rated Lin Jue in mecha assessment.”
The reporter’s voice was filled with a provocative tone, echoing the question in everyone’s mind.
Does Noah Academy really have such a powerful freshman?
“Boom…”
The white mecha emitted a powerful burst of energy flames, rushing toward Xu Mo.
Lin Jue moved again. The white mecha soared into the air, descending from above, with the Energy Sword slashing toward Xu Mo.
Xu Mo raised his Chopping Blade, surging forward, chopping out, but Lin Jue shifted direction mid-air, his body folding, twin swords slashing down, clashing with the black mecha’s War Saber.
With a loud noise, the white mecha pressed the black mecha backward.
“Bang.” Another loud noise as Lin Jue’s sword swept out again, incessantly, like Swordsmanship.
“Mecha Technique, this is Lin Jue’s unique Mecha Technique. Man and mecha as one, perfect control. I never thought I’d be fortunate enough to see Mecha Technique at Noah Academy.” The reporter’s voice no longer carried the previous excitement but was tinged with a dreamy note.
“The black mecha has finally been pushed back. The fight is about to end. Lin Jue is too strong. Even if the black mecha is defeated, no one will blame it. It has done its best. Here is another Genius Mecha Master.”
The students of Noah Academy tensely watched the battlefield, feeling a suffocating sensation as they saw Lin Jue’s continuous Swordsmanship.
That white mecha was indeed too strong.
This caused their mood to plummet. Seeing the black mecha being pushed back continuously, they felt a sense of suppression, although they harbored no blame.
Was the hope of victory ultimately an illusion?
The hero who defended the honor of Noah Academy could not shake Lin Jue after all.
Of course, he had already done well. Even if defeated, no one would blame the pilot of the black mecha.
At this moment, Xu Mo was completely immersed in the battle; Lin Jue’s every move was etched in his mind.
Lin Jue knew the mecha too well. He knew every minute movement a mecha could make, and only then, could he issue direct commands to make it happen.
Moreover, he had to be able to calculate the time and accuracy required for the mecha to execute these movements.
While controlling a mecha with spiritual power appears convenient, it is actually very difficult. The commands given and the actions the mecha could perform were prone to discrepancies, and once they occurred, the results could be awkward.
He was still familiarizing himself with the mecha.
Xu Mo’s War Saber was nearly knocked away; the mecha’s movements distorted as Lin Jue relentlessly pressed on.
“The fight is finally coming to an end. The mysterious genius of Noah Academy’s mecha will still be defeated by Lin Jue,” the live reporter said with a tone of reflection.
The Energy Sword of Lin Jue slashed out again, as though this strike would end the fight.
“Bang.”
With a loud noise, Xu Mo’s War Saber once again blocked the strike.
“He blocked it, he actually blocked that hit, he’s still holding on.”
“What’s going on? The black mecha is actually counterattacking.”
“How is that possible? The black mecha is faster now. He can move even faster, with a series of seamless, interconnected strikes. Is this Mecha Technique as well?”
“Lin Jue is retreating…” the reporter shouted loudly.
The students of Noah Academy, upon seeing the black mecha repel the white mecha in the arena, felt their minds boom and blood rush to their heads.
“He’s still attacking, pressing Lin Jue. What a god-level battle.”
“For the first time, this is the first time I’ve seen Lin Jue being forced back.”
“Roar…”
At that moment, a thunderous roar erupted throughout the Mechanical Building, like the roar of the oceans and the mountains, making the entire Mechanical Building seem to tremble.
“It’s exhilarating! The black mecha has ignited the entire Mechanical Building. The students of Noah Academy have seen the hope of victory.”
“I’ve never seen such an exciting duel, nor have I ever felt such a heart-stopping thrill. This is the most spectacular fight I’ve ever lived to broadcast, bar none.”
The reporter seemed to have completely cast aside any bias at that moment.
“The hero of Noah Academy has conquered the entire Mechanical Building, and he has conquered me as well.”
“Will he win?”
“Defeat Lin Jue, known as the number one freshman of the Eight Extraordinary Colleges.”
“Will a miracle unfold at Noah Academy?”
“Boom…” A loud explosion echoed from the arena, the roaring of the Mechanical Building was silenced for a moment, only to erupt with an even more terrifying roar than before.
The reporter paused for a full three seconds, gazing at the arena, then said, “Lin Jue has fallen.”
“A new king is born!”
