Chapter 354: God, is this really Mu Fan?
When the Extreme Special Soldier went berserk, it was like a massive wave crashing into the rocks and splashing water all over the sky.
The dark ocean below was completely...
That was the afterimage of the black mecha racing!
The impact on the eyes of a mecha speeding at supersonic was unbelievable.
"Boss, boss, boss, is that mecha really piloted by Mu Fan?!"
Li Xiaoxi's mouth fumbled.
And the little fat boy next to him had his mouth wide open enough to fit a fist.
Who could tell him!
What was happening?
It seemed like the few times he had seen Mu Fan's awesomeness were in hand-to-hand combat, the most intense being the time in Lamp Coffee where he had saved himself... No, it should have been previously on Purple Jade Star when he fought the Winged Beast in the high sky during a Beast Tide!
His impression of Mu Fan piloting a mecha had always remained in the scenes of combat on Battle Net.
But ever since that particularly lame account name of Mu Fan's showed up being banned, Fat Brother had never really seen Mu Fan truly pilot a mecha.
Wasn't Mu Fan a Human-shaped Mecha, when did he become a real Mechanical Master? Don't scare Fat Brother.
So, the fat boy also looked at White Hair, waiting for his response.
Feeling the intense gaze of the two buddies next to him, White Hair licked his lips: "It is indeed Mu Fan, but he seems even more awesome than last time... As for why, I don't know, Mu Fan has always been this awesome. Hahaha!"
Tsk~~
Both of them gave the middle finger at the same time, even Chuchu, who was eavesdropping next to them, rolled her eyes.
At this point, as commentators of the sub-competition, Rachel and Sandy were overwhelmed.
Because the audience's comments were nearly drowning them.
Sandy, flashing a standard smile at the camera, said, "Let me see, this is… um, this viewer is asking if the skills of the mecha below are characteristics of the mecha body or the pilot's operating skills? This question is too professional, but I think it should be the characteristics of the mecha body. After all, we haven't seen that on other mechas before."
"That black mecha is awesome! Hosts, please talk more about it, I am very interested in the story of that black mecha."
"Why is that beauty not talking, waiting for your commentary! Hurry up, we don't stop for Sandy's nonsense, we like to listen to the hot girl commentator."
...
Regarding Sandy's filler commentary, quite a few viewers had already started ranting, preferring the beauty's commentary over his.
"This, this, this looks so familiar to me!?" Rachel watched the incredible scene in disbelief.
A storm of astonishment churned in her heart.
How could this resemble the social club recruitment she had hosted before!?
At this moment, Rachel couldn't care about other audience comments.
"Professor Sandy, I need to assess this again, because I really feel this scene is somewhat familiar." Rachel made a comment that even the seasoned commentator Sandy found surprising.
"Everyone calm down! Our beauty Rachel says she has some recollection, so dear audience, please do not direct your fire at me, just patiently wait for the results."
[You big moron! I'll despise you forever for favoring that red mecha] — Viewer A
[Gay, just shut up] — Viewer B
[Beauty, I'll wait for you until my next life, may we love each other then] — Viewer C
...
The atmosphere inside and outside the venue had completely exploded, and this spectacular scene made the live broadcast's click rate surge instantaneously.
Excited spectators on the Sky Mother Ship stood up, their eyes glued to the scene below.
A red hurricane descended from the sky.
In the cockpit speeding at eight times the speed of sound, the scar above Shi Wuyi's eyes pulsed.
The muscles on his neck bulged veinously.
Upon seeing the ocean formed by the black afterimage on the ground, a flash of light sparked in his eyes, and he coldly spat out two words: "Split up!"
The Gale Gladiator's feet suddenly shot out from the rotors, and with this second borrowing of force, the entire mecha dragged out a trail of afterimages and thunderously plummeted down.
Ah!
The audience at the venue collectively screamed in ecstasy.
A high-altitude, eight-times-the-speed-of-sound crash happened in the blink of an eye.
Boom!
A giant light blade plunged fiercely from the sky into the black ocean.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment.
"Ascend quickly! Pull up!" Sandy suddenly shouted excitedly, desperately floating the disc-shaped aircraft upward.
Then below, a massive shockwave carrying countless shattered stones and dazzling light.
The violent shockwave visibly spread out, making Sandy and Rachel, 200 meters above, feel like their aircraft was swaying like a small boat in the sea.
Many people swallowed their saliva with a gulp.
Is this the opening battle of the qualifiers? How brutal will the unrestricted Fighting match be, blasting craters in the ground?
It really might be possible.
The dust once again shrouded the area…
Did it hit?
When the dust cleared slightly, someone excitedly shouted, "God, look! That black ocean is still there!"
Both inside and outside the arena, the host and the audience were stimulated.
A huge crater over 300 meters in diameter appeared, but the black ocean was still present.
However, confined to this gigantic crater, the trajectories of the dark shadows were all within the pit.
"F*cking host, it's time for a replay, slow motion, we need slow motion!"
Sandy wiped off his sweat, "Sorry..."
"Get lost~!"
"If sorry worked, our Federation would have eradicated the Empire long ago."
Swearing filled the air.
Blood seeped from the corner of Mu Fan's mouth in the cockpit, but his eyes burned with a fighting spirit.
And it burned hotter than ever before.
"The robustness of the GFrame device is admirable; it managed to redirect that powerful energy attack to behind, reducing the impact by 60%! Moreover, Acabert Alloy's resistance to energy attacks is… 300% better than the mainstream Mecha's alloy shell!"
"An impressive marvel of intelligence," Black once again praised this era-transcending metal.
"With your physical condition and real battle experience, the test results are out—under Extreme Special Soldier conditions, you can fully withstand expansive energy attacks from the opponent! Therefore, you need to create an opportunity for a close combat fight with the opponent," Black concluded decisively.
"Of course, this is only for expansive energy; it doesn't extend to resistance against beam weapons, which confine ultra-dense energy within particle force fields."
Mu Fan's hands remained a blur of motion, too occupied to wipe the blood seeping from his mouth and nose.
The three Molten Magma Fruits he had consumed earlier finally demonstrated their potency under these high-pressure conditions.
Body cells automatically healed microscopic damages in the blood vessels, with a powerful energy continuously released from within his body.
"Black, I think the opportunity you mentioned has arrived!"
Mu Fan's hands trembled sharply.
The Extreme Special Soldier Mecha traced a Z-shaped lightning bolt, and two dazzling light blades grazed past the Mecha body, leaving behind two white streaks.
Behind Mu Fan, the ground displayed two melting deep pits.
"Look, the attack from Gale Gladiator is not over yet!"
As the dust settled and the giant light blade disappeared, the huge roar and…the red figure still remained!
The red tornado intersected, diving into the ground, then rebounding back into the air.
"The piercing has only just begun…" Shi Wuyi's eyes were cold.
In an instant, numerous figures, accompanied by a massive roar from the air explosion, echoed throughout the heaven and earth.
