Chapter 383: Just Ask, Are You Tough Enough to Take a Beating?
Iron Armor Steel Fist, USE, 110-ton class.
Three-core fission engine, Master Jiabo titanium system.
Four-axis back-mounted auxiliary thrusters, dual-arm Thunder-Fire laser cannons.
Heavy Armor, yes, a physique slightly smaller than a medium-sized Mecha, yet with the tonnage of a Heavy Armor. It adopts a large amount of titanium armor on key parts. It is another overly fantastical, controversial work from the later years of USE Mecha Master Jiabo. It feels like the Master was obsessively infatuated with Ancient Martial Arts; the Black Night Saber is the same, but at least that one is still usable. This model was truly built just for the sake of building it. This kind of tonnage and this kind of physique are truly uncomfortable for a pilot. His intention was the striking power of a Heavy Armor with the movement and agility of a medium-sized one, but he ignored whether a pilot could withstand it, as well as the load brought about by the operation and the massive inertia.
"After it was released, it was completely sealed away. It is said that no more than three were produced. The Aoweijiajiajituan, which bought out this design, almost went bankrupt. The inspiration for the famous TAS Giant God Soldier Muay Thai 100 came from this Iron Armor Steel Fist, but their fates are completely different. The Muay Thai 100 is quite popular; this should have been the design philosophy of the Giant God Soldier from the start. Of course, in Master Jiabo's era, there was no Giant God Soldier yet."
Huonan spoke eloquently; he is quite capable when it comes to extensive knowledge of Mecha. "This is the first time the Iron Armor Steel Fist has appeared in an official competition. Regardless of the process, this contestant Cheng Konghai will leave an impression on everyone."
Beside him, Kuangwu Daren was somewhat excited. He controlled his emotions as much as possible. Ant, real name Cheng Konghai, the number one fierce general under Mawang, was once awe-inspiring before falling to the streets, even having to play in an internet cafe tournament against the likes of him to earn living expenses. Through all the ups and downs, standing on the S Tournament stage again, just what level can he fight at?
Cheng Konghai was wiggling his fingers in the Cockpit. It was strange; in the afternoon, his second brother suddenly said he could let loose and fight. He originally thought he would have to wait until fighting Klein to let loose, but his second brother plans strategies and wins battles from a thousand miles away; he is probably declaring war from afar.
Cheng Konghai stretched his fingers energetically. Being suppressed for so long really requires some exercise to find his state, but he just doesn't know if this kid Dufeng is tough enough to take a beating.
Yemi was slightly stunned, then smiled. Interesting. Given Ant's ability characteristics, the Iron Armor Steel Fist is indeed quite suitable, but this is also not taking him seriously at all. He was also very excited. He took a deep breath. Calm down. The Team Leader has already urged him many times not to be disturbed by the emotions of the past. All they need to do is roll over Tianjing Mecha and continue to march toward Glory.
Two Mobile Suits descended into the Kepler Jungle. All the spectators watched with dropped jaws as the heavy Iron Armor Steel Fist landed. The booming sound felt like it was going to smash a pit into the ground. Is this... really watching the S Tournament?
Is it because they know they will lose, so Tianjing Mecha started messing around? Entertainment value? Come to think of it, Tianjing Mecha really likes this sort of thing.
At this moment, the campus of Tianjing Mecha was also silent. After all, it is a military academy, especially the Mecha Department. Actually, some people had tried it, but after trying, they just wanted to spit. This is at the opposite extreme from the Armor Leopard; it is a purely idealized Mobile Suit. It looks cool as hell, and it seems like it could deliver a high-frequency heavy strike, but damn it, every time you operate it, it feels like your arms are about to break, and what you dish out is still in slow motion. The opponent is a Phantom, the Phantom of the champion Yemi. What is there to fight with?
Long Danni had long been prepared. Her brain was truly being adjusted by Li Hao wave after wave. Would this kid die if he didn't pull some weird stunts? If Cheng Konghai loses, she will hang Li Hao up and beat him when he gets back. She offended so many people to use a special recruitment, and he dares to play tricks at a time like this.
Hum-boom.
The engines of the two Mobile Suits began to roar. The two Titanium Swords of the Phantom Fighter had already popped out. The Mecha's arms stretched out horizontally, and with a spin, Yemi felt fluidity and comfort, and the lightness and freedom of the Mecha also drew bursts of cheers from the audience.
"Ant, long time no see!"
"Cut the crap, come over and take a beating!" Cheng Konghai grinned.
"Looking for death!" Yemi's expression froze. What era is it, and he still dares to act so arrogant.
Boom... The two Mobile Suits started simultaneously. There is no need to mention the speed of the Phantom; looking across the Solar System, if it admits to being second, who dares to admit to being first? But the two Mobile Suits arrived at the midfield almost at the same time!
Zing zing zing zing zing.
The Phantom's bee stings bombarded the Iron Armor Steel Fist like a rainstorm. Don't say the Iron Armor Steel Fist is just for show; even a light, nimble Light Type Mecha couldn't parry Yemi's Phantom.
At this moment, the Iron Armor Steel Fist...???
Holy crap!
The Iron Armor Steel Fist was actually keeping its hands behind its back, dodging the crazy attacks of the bee stings head-on. The Mecha kept flashing amidst the sky-filling red sword light. The two Mecha moved at high speed with roaring engines, instantly stretching out a battle line of more than twenty meters.
The Phantom Fighter suddenly swiveled, and the two bee stings danced into a sky full of light and shadow, yet the Iron Armor Steel Fist managed to dodge them all.
"My turn!"
Boom.
A thunderclap on flat ground. The Phantom Fighter flashed out almost in an instant. The Iron Armor Steel Fist had already arrived behind the Phantom before anyone knew it. One punch barely missed, but the visible fist wind swept out. One strike missed, and it followed immediately. Boom...
Lightning charge, one punch blasted toward the Phantom Fighter. The Phantom Fighter dared not take it head-on. The Mecha was under forced control, turning directly in a right-angle arc, and the two bee stings arrived again.
Zing.
It missed!
Snap.
It was the explosive charge of the Iron Armor Steel Fist again. Roar.
Da-da-da-da-da-da.
Rain-like fists formed a sky full of fist shadows under the light of the all-titanium, blasting toward the Phantom. The Phantom swiveled to dodge, and the footsteps under its feet kept crossing and changing frequency, wanting to pull away, but the titanium fist burning with red light had already arrived.
Boom-whoosh.
The Phantom Fighter took one hit head-on and flew out more than fifty meters, crashing into the dense giant fern forest. Rumble.
The whole arena was dead silent. What is this?
What the hell is this?
Is it a monster?
This is the S Tournament! The opponent is the Vice Captain from the defending champion, the super Warrior Yemi!
The live stream had already exceeded six billion. Kuangwu Daren waved his arms. "Dear audience, let me introduce you. The Warrior currently using the Iron Armor Steel Fist is Cheng Konghai from Tianjing Mecha, nicknamed Ant!"
"Damn, I just opened the stream and thought I was watching an exhibition match in the Xuni Qu?"
"What kind of monster is this? How can he use the Iron Armor Steel Fist like this? I thought it was a new type of Mecha?"
"Cheng Konghai? Supernova? Not even a Supernova???"
"Is he from Tianjing Mecha? What kind of academy is this? Why haven't I heard of it?"
"Didn't he go back and forth with Romero in the last match?"
"Why do I feel like he was acting? He didn't use his full strength when he fought Romero???"
"What kind of nonsense is that? Tianjing Mecha playing with fire in the S Tournament knockout stage?"
It was crazy. The Earthlings at the scene suddenly boiled over. This is damn good fighting! They had never seen such an overbearing Warrior.
In the contestant area, everyone looked at each other. Maxis and the others were silent. Dita's eyes almost fell out. This person who usually doesn't even talk much and has no presence?
The Martians' faces were gloomy. Only the Hunters were greatly relieved. This is the Ant in their impression. Looking at these movements, he should have recovered almost completely.
But this is just a basic operation, consistent with his abilities. It's not that easy to win; Yemi's level is definitely not bad.
Zing.
The Phantom Fighter ejected, glided for a distance, and landed lightly. Yemi also didn't expect Ant to have recovered so well, but this was also within expectations. This is a tough battle.
"Ant, you've got some skills. It seems I can't finish you off without showing some ultimate moves." Yemi smiled slightly, his heart surging. This is good; defeating a crippled Ant wouldn't be interesting anyway.
"A toad trying to swallow the sky, you've got a big mouth. Did you forget how I beat you!" Cheng Konghai curled his lips. He doesn't indulge such bad habits; now everyone really dares to jump around.
In the entire Tianqi, except for Li Hao, he doesn't submit to anyone. If they dare to challenge him, he'll crush them all.
Yemi gritted his teeth. "Heroes don't talk about past glory. Your era has long passed!"
"Stop the nonsense, let me see what kind of progress you've made to dare speak to me like that!" Cheng Konghai bared his teeth, red flames of light soared into the sky, and a terrifying aura crushed directly over.
The Deep Space Intimidation inherent to the Ant, he did not deliberately release it; usually, he actually needed to deliberately suppress it. The heavy pressure directly enveloped the entire battlefield. Yemi's Golden Zone rose straight to the peak of Burning Will, yet he still felt his body was very stiff.
In the Sea Dragon's area, Anlita couldn't help but laugh, "These people have all forgotten the pain once the wound has healed."
As she spoke, she glanced at Klein. Klein was laughing so joyfully; for him, what he feared most was the Ant-man being there with incomplete power, as that would make revenge not satisfying enough. This was the Ant he loved most, and he had to tear him apart with his own hands.
"This is a declaration of war," Li Xiangshan said. For some unknown reason, Li Ge had started to lose his patience.
"Brother Shan, let's see to what extent the Ant can go first," Anlita laughed, "Dufeng is qualified enough to serve as a touchstone."
On the battlefield, Yemi felt extremely uncomfortable. Time seemed to suddenly flow back to the dark age when he was ruled by that person leading the Hunters. No, it would never, ever go back!
Screw it!
Boom.
The Golden Zone erupted, and the surging power of Flowing Heart Martial Arts dispersed the Deep Space Intimidation. Power continued to burst forth, red Electricity coiled around the Phantom Fighter, and the light of the Titanium Sword stinger extended.
Yemi's ability was of the Electricity type—Lightning Acceleration!
Opposite him, the Iron Armor Steel Fist braced its two fists, its engine roaring. Cheng Konghai curled the corner of his mouth. Boom.
The Phantom Fighter dashed forward with Lightning Acceleration, the stinger in its hand killing crazily toward the Iron Armor Steel Fist. The Iron Armor Steel Fist mecha's body swayed along with it, the entire mecha becoming a seamless whole, as if the world were dancing along with it. The movement of its feet and the twisting of its body presented a terrifying inch-style evasion. The stinger sword set emitted a *tseng tseng* sound of breaking through the air—not a single sword strike hit.
Antizhongbaiyao!
Boom.
A punch was thrown out. The Phantom Fighter emitted a violent twisting sound, only dodging the attack with a spiral drift. The next second, the Phantom had already soared into the air following its inertia. With a loud explosion, the Iron Armor Steel Fist shot into the sky, killing toward the Phantom Fighter with a punch. The Phantom Fighter suddenly plummeted, and the Iron Armor Steel Fist struck down directly with a thunderbolt kick.
Boom.
The ground shattered, gravel filled the sky, as if it had been hit by a missile. Was this the lethal power of the Iron Armor Steel Fist?
But at this moment, the Phantom Fighter had already arrived behind the Iron Armor Steel Fist. Even the most powerful attack is useless if it cannot hit.
Baiwu Style—Wild Bee Wild Dance!
This was the ultimate move with which Yemi won the championship last year. Phantom footwork, Lightning Acceleration, strings of afterimages were drawn out. The two stingers looked as if they were going to pierce the Iron Armor Steel Fist into a sieve. This was the only dual-wielding swordsman of the Baiwu Style.
*Tap tap tap tap tap tap. *
