Chapter 346: Destroying the Rotten and Pulling the Decayed

Li Hao was not there, so Ma Long and the others were still a bit nervous. Of course, Cheng Konghai had no reaction at all; he didn't even know what everyone was nervous about.

"Wuzang, go for it, go for it!" Ma Long shouted while massaging Wuzang's shoulders to help him relax. "Don't waste time talking to him, go all out from the start, and *** him!"

Wuzang entered the mecha cockpit, and Dimoka on the other side entered as well; both competitors calibrated their equipment.

"On one side is the three-time S Tournament veteran Dimoka, and on the other is the Wu Family's Supernova, Wuzang. It's clear that Tianjing Mecha did not prepare any tactics. Their strongest point in the Vanguard position has been targeted. If Wuzang loses, it is highly likely that Tianjing Mecha will be swept. If I were setting the tactics, I would put the weaker team member in the first match, like that lantern Ma, and throw the first match; that would be Tianjing Mecha's only chance." Huonan spoke eloquently. "Li Hao, tsk tsk, what a pity."

"It's too early to say since the match hasn't started yet. Let me make a prediction too. I think Tianjing Mecha can end the battle four-to-zero or four-to-one; this duel won't even reach the team battle phase," Kuangwu Daren said seriously.

Huonan couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Kuangwu, brother, that's too much. We are old partners, and many viewers are familiar with us. You are just sucking up to them; Li Jiang is going to play himself to death this time."

"I am very serious, Tianjing Mecha is very strong," Kuangwu Daren shook his head.

Huonan laughed very happily. The live audience and the streaming audience were also here for the lively bickering between these two, but the Puppet fans were feeling a bit anxious and couldn't help but worry.

Both sides entered the mecha selection phase. Wuzang — Night Saber (USE)

Dimoka — Nether Fire Genesis (ROM)

"Both competitors have chosen the representative Super Type medium mecha of their respective federations. The match terrain is the Arena. This will be a contest of the purest technique," Huonan introduced as the holographic projection appeared on the field, simultaneously displaying the characteristics of the two mechas and the performance records and ability traits of the two pilots in table format.

Wuzang was completely suppressed, with the only win being his surname.

The ghostly Underworld Fire Fighter and the cold Night Saber descended onto the field. Both pilots were ready, and the battle countdown began: 10... 9... 1!

The match began!

The engines of the two Mobile Suits roared. Amidst the cheers of the Thunder ship, the mechas blasted out. The Underworld Blade of the Underworld Fire Fighter was drawn, and the Blood Moon of the Night Saber was drawn at the same time. Both Mobile Suits gave their full speed. As the Vanguard battle of the first match, neither could afford to lose; they had to win. It could be said that the result of this match would directly determine the direction of the competition.

Wuzang's technical movements were completely within Dimoka's grasp. He had made sufficient preparations before the match, especially targeting the Puppet and Wuzang's Night Saber.

………

A violent collision of Titanium Blades. The two mechas crossed paths instantly, blades flashing like shadows, a frenzy of hacking. The initial probing showed both sides were evenly matched. The experienced and calm Underworld Fire Fighter soon gained the upper hand. While parrying, he used a side-body swing, and the entire Underworld Fire Fighter pressed in, directly knocking the Night Saber away. The Underworld Fire Fighter lunged, the Underworld Blade stabbing directly toward the cockpit.

When the time

Wuzang performed a Swallow Return, combining offense and defense. The Night Saber blocked the Underworld Blade while creating distance. But just as he landed, the Underworld Fire Fighter had already Flash Struck over, kicking the Night Saber. The Night Saber, having successfully blocked the attack, was not careless and remained highly focused. He sealed the attack with his left arm, borrowed the force to retreat, and both sides opened up the distance.

"Oh, Wuzang is performing quite well. As a newcomer, he can actually withstand a round of fierce attacks from Dimoka. The next part should be the real deal. Dimoka's Red Pupil and mecha integration level is very high," Huonan laughed.

"Wuzang has maintained the caution of the Wu Family, mature beyond his years, but now he should let go and can counterattack." Kuangwu Daren's eyes were full of anticipation. What he wanted to see was not this level of play. A descendant of the Wu Family, and from the most conservative family among the five great Ancient Martial Arts—since they were willing to let Wuzang out, he definitely couldn't be stopped by Dimoka.

"Kid, not bad, but that's as far as it goes. Let me teach you a lesson. Remember, the great one is 'Gun-Dan' Dimoka." Dimoka's pupils flashed with red light—Red Pupil State—and the K23 Underworld Blade also began to glow with a red radiance. He had already mastered the peak state of the

Golden Zone.

Opposite him, Wuzang's gaze was firm, his pupils crimson, and the Blood Moon Long Blade also glowed with a blood-red hue. After the previous round of exchanges, he already had a certain understanding of his opponent.

Boom...

The Underworld Fire Fighter lunged, directly Flash Striking. The Underworld Blade cut into the center gate with precision. The Blood Moon parried. The Underworld Blade twisted and attacked crazily like a venomous snake, circling the Night Saber for a flurry of wild slashes. The Night Saber only had the capacity to defend, constantly parrying with the Blood Moon in his hand.

"This scabbard is also useful; it's a bit handy for defense, but how long can he hold out? Martian Warriors are ahead of the Solar System in terms of physical fitness. Don't count on physical exhaustion. Fight, Dimoka, go get Mars' first win!" Huonan roared.

The other seven battlefields were also in full swing. The Galaxy Team had already secured their first win with terrifying crushing power.

Here, under the Mad Dog-style biting attacks of Dimoka's Underworld Fire Fighter, the Night Saber took the Spiral Eighteen Slashes head-on. The mecha lost its center of gravity. Dimoka saw the opportunity and let out a roar. Flash Strike! He cut into the Night Saber with both mecha and Underworld Blade—it was a completely suicidal tactic.

The style of the Li Hao camp was a life-risking bite. Physical fitness and reaction were his strengths. After maturing, he pushed the Mad Dog mode to the extreme. Anyone who fought him was suppressed by this unconventional yet extremely crazy method.

Just as he was about to be stabbed, the Night Saber's scabbard parried. Boom...

The Night Saber's engine roared, borrowing the force to open up distance again. Dimoka did not pursue. It wasn't that he didn't want to; he had overexerted himself. After this round of wild attacks, no matter how good his stamina was, he knew to be wary of the opponent's counterattack. But the opponent didn't give him a single chance; it was a bit eerie!

Martians might be crazy, but they weren't brainless. This kid didn't have the bravery of the Wu Family at all; he was a damn coward, running as soon as they clashed.

The Underworld Fire Fighter swung the Underworld Blade, pointing at the Night Saber. "Wuzang, does your Wu Family only know how to run? Do you dare to have a real fight with real blades and guns!"

Wuzang was expressionless. Two rounds of probing, and the opponent... was so weak. Was he deliberately hiding something? Did he have some trump card?

"It's too shameful. Do you even have the surname Wu, or are you a bastard? Wild dog, come, come..." Dimoka gestured with the Underworld Fire Fighter.

Verbal provocation between pilots was also a tactic. Martians were particularly good at it. They cared about winning or losing and didn't care about the means at all. If it weren't for the S Tournament, they could have said even more vulgar things.

The next second, the Night Saber roared and moved out. It was clear that Wuzang's move was a bit impatient. Seeing his opponent take the bait, Dimoka also waited excitedly.

Boom...

The Night Saber approached without any fancy moves, and the Blood Moon just chopped straight down without any extra movements. Dimoka had completely predicted it; he only needed a side block, then a swing, and then a ground-level slash to finish it.

The Blood Moon drew near without any changes, no variation in the move. The Underworld Blade judged it perfectly and actively met it.

Boom...

A heaven-shaking explosion rang out. Dimoka's teeth slammed together, and his two front teeth were knocked out directly. The Underworld Fire Fighter's Underworld Blade almost slipped from his grip. Boom, boom...

Two more blades slashed down on his head. The Underworld Fire Fighter was directly beaten down. The immense power made Dimoka doubt his life; his muscles were stiff, and he was reaching his limit. The next second, the Night Saber's 180-degree vertical kick hit the head of the Underworld Fire Fighter directly. The Underworld Fire Fighter was kicked into the air, and before he could escape the attack range, a red light flashed.

Piercing Lift!

The Blood Moon had already pierced through the Underworld Fire Fighter.

Dimoka controlled the mecha frantically, but the mecha was already out of control. Accompanied by an explosion, the mecha fell into a sea of fire. His screen had turned black and white.

???

What was the situation? What happened? What happened? He hadn't even performed yet, he hadn't used his full strength yet, how could it be over?

Huonan was also stunned, but he didn't forget his responsibility. "A pity, such a pity. How could competitor Dimoka make such a major mistake, revealing a flaw from a normal attack? Wuzang's

luck is a bit good."

"This is not a mistake, this is the true strength of competitor Wuzang. The beginning was just probing, and it turned out Dimoka wasn't enough to fight him. Congratulations to Wuzang, the Supernova title is well-deserved. Congratulations to Tianjing Mecha for taking the first win." Kuangwu Daren's nervous heart finally relaxed. The Puppet God wasn't playing with fire; he was letting his team members pass a psychological barrier.

Wuzang didn't have the habit of trash-talking. After the match ended, he walked out of the combat room. Ma Long and the others had already rushed over and gave Wuzang a warm hug.

"Not bad, Fourth Brother, awesome! You took him down as soon as you moved. How was it, exciting or not?" Ma Long said excitedly. The result was actually fine, he just didn't expect the process to be so fast.

Wuzang scratched his head a bit embarrassedly. "The opponent might have had a physical problem, he was a bit weak. At the beginning, I was still guarding against the opponent's trump card and abilities, but it turned out there was nothing."

Zhou Naiyi's eyes were burning. She finally understood why Li Hao didn't come. It wasn't that the opponents had become weaker, but that they had become stronger. Their training match opponents were at the level of the Cougar and the Round Table Knights, and the pressure of the confrontation was immense. The Mid-Season Tournament might have been okay, but the Hailong Exchange Tournament had top-tier teams. Although they were at a disadvantage, they could all hold their own. And after returning, they trained even harder. The daily pilot training was even more terrifying; the opponent was Li Hao. Li Hao didn't train himself, but he liked to train them. Every time they trained with Li Hao, it was like being weighed and hammered to the limit, every time it was exhausting and worse than death. Not to mention that after being hammered over and over, they got used to it, and always felt they weren't strong.

"It's that we have become strong!" Zhou Naiyi said. She also knew that everyone had realized it, and their eyes were burning with eagerness, including Ma Long. "Second match, Cheng Konghai, you're up!"

Strike while the opponent is down to take their life; after Dimoka's failure, the second match will certainly feature a Vanguard better at dueling. It is time for Cheng Konghai to make an appearance. Moreover, with Li Hao absent, regardless of his motives, as Vice Captain, Zhou Naiyi's task is to secure victory, cleanly and without giving the opponent a single chance. Actually, she wanted to go up herself, but Cheng Konghai is more stable.

"Ant, let the world recognize our Tianjing Martial Arts anew!"
