Chapter 349: Ge Xing Xian Wu

What exactly is the difference between humans and monsters? What is the difference between knights and monsters?

This question may have completely different answers in different people's minds, but in Jiang Xia's mind the answer is exceptionally clear.

Regardless of strength, possessing a heart that protects others makes one worthy of the title of knight.

Now facing Orion's Ruyue Xian Tairan, although he is just an ordinary high school student and still has many flaws, his actions have already lived up to this standard.

And Orion, seeing Ruyue Xian Tairan swinging a steel pipe and charging at him, seemed to be facing a toy.

It has changed; it is no longer that weak human, the former self that was bullied and humiliated has completely disappeared.

It will turn this school into ruins; let's start by cutting down this human who dares to resist.

The steel pipe bent.

The iron strike that could break bones hit its body like striking rock, and the powerful recoil made the steel rod in Ruyue Xian Tairan's hand almost impossible to hold.

Upon seeing this, Orion had already hidden behind a false shell and laughed; the ferocity that had just arisen from being blown away and suppressed again surged from his dark heart, and he casually snatched the steel pipe from Ruyue Xian Tairan's hand, gripped the steel rod tightly, and gave it a light flick.

Power from the distant universe twisted the steel rod in his hand like putty into a braid, the curved pattern indicating it possessed a force humans cannot resist.

Just a light push, that fierce and mighty power caused Ruyue Xian Tairan's vision to warp.

His whole body instantly lost balance, and after tumbling a few times in midair he fell flat on his butt on the ground.

He previously thought he could fight monsters like a teacher, but reality gave him a harsh slap; when it comes to physical combat against Star Disciples, the current Ruyue Xian Tairan is still far from qualified.

Afterwards, the starlight on Orion's body twisted, that intense power gathered again and burst forth toward the prone Ruyue Xian Tairan on the ground.

But at the moment just before impact, the person who had previously blown him away and whom he had marked as a kill target merely lifted his hand lightly, and Orion felt his whole body suddenly lose gravity.

Just then, a yellow mechanical arm suddenly appeared in midair, rigidly aiming to strike Orion.

Blazing sparks erupted where Orion and the mechanical arm collided, interrupting Orion's attack.

At the same time, a smooth sequence of punches and kicks forced Orion to retreat step by step.

"Are you okay, Ruyue?" Jiang Xia helped the prone Ruyue Xian Tairan up.

"I'm fine." He rubbed his chest, looked at the scene before him, and exclaimed in astonishment: "What is that?"

"Xianwu, you've finally come." Chengdao Youmu turned excitedly toward the mechanical arm, almost about to jump up.

With a metallic clang, a huge copper-yellow robot appeared before them, its overall structure somewhat like a large tractor, or a gorilla walking upright.

Judging by size, this massive metal robot, in terms of stature, presents an overwhelming advantage over Orion the Star Disciple.

However, after a few exchanges, Orion exerted force with both arms, and the robot he was opposing was directly pressed to the ground by his smaller frame.

At that moment, the arm of the metal robot pressed to the ground was raised high and slammed hard into Orion's body; the thick arm struck like a wall, causing Orion to stagger, lean back, and then be flung ten or so meters away.

Orion crawled out of the smoke and dust, saw that the machine before him showed no change in the face of attack, and then made an almost instinctive escape move—after all, he was just a student, his mental fortitude not particularly strong.

Jiang Xia also merely watched silently as the Star Disciple and the robot collided, without any intention of stopping Orion's escape.

When true danger arises, he will reduce the Star Disciple's power to protect the students' safety, while Ruyue Xian Tairan also watches this scene curiously; the supernatural event makes his yearning for the extraordinary stir.

With a swish, the hatch opened, revealing a blue-and-white cockpit full of futuristic sci-fi feeling; a person wearing the same light-blue school uniform crawled out of the cockpit, said to be crawling out because the driver had exhausted his strength.

"You're the guy who went to the infirmary on the first day of school!" Ruyue Xian Tairan exclaimed.

"What was his name again? Hmm, I remember now—he's called Ge Xing Xian Wu."

"Idiot." Ge Xing Xian Wu ignored Ruyue Xian Tairan, instead opening the box-like controller in his hand; its black-gold exterior housed a small screen displaying various parameters of the robot.

He crouched and lightly slid his finger across the screen, and the massive robot's body emitted countless crisp sounds of metal parts coupling together, smooth and beautiful like Transformers, instantly shifting from humanoid to vehicle form.

Although this could block the attack, it was ultimately not a long-term solution, especially since his body was already like this; Ge Xing Xian Wu thought silently, then quickly rose from the ground.

He intended to completely resolve the Star Disciple; as he set off, carrying the controller in his hand and just taking his first step, the cosmic-like lines hidden in his mind began to sketch wildly in his thoughts, extremely fast and endlessly changing.

Information in his mind rapidly occupied his body, but for some reason this power was cut off the moment it began to sprout.

Ge Xing Xian Wu didn't know any of this; perhaps because he wasn't ready, or due to some other factor, he merely felt his brain filled with dizziness, and the whole world seemed to have heaven and earth inverted at that moment.

Here it comes again, this frail body—I've had enough.

This was the only thought flashing in his mind right now; then he prepared to meet the ground in close contact, having grown accustomed to his body being like an old mechanical part that occasionally fails.

But Ge Xing Xian Wu didn't wait for that moment; when he recovered from the dizziness, he felt a strong hand grab his body, thus avoiding a fall.

This wasn't Youmu's hand; he was certain of it. Ge Xing Xian Wu opened his eyes and saw only a stranger's face, yet the words that came from that mouth shocked him greatly.

"KingDizer, or rather switch to someone with better stamina to pilot it—your current physique simply isn't suited for this."

Jiang Xia pulled Ge Xing Xian Wu up from the ground, and at that moment his dizziness suddenly vanished, as if it had never existed.

"How do you know that name?" Ge Xing Xian Wu stared wide-eyed.

KingDizer is actually the name of that gorilla robot; Youmu doesn't know that either, and even he merely uses "power robot" as a term of address, unless…

Jiang Xia chuckled, didn't answer him, but instead brought up another matter: "Orion the Star Disciple is causing trouble right now—do you really want me to answer you now?"
