Chapter 4: The Brother Who Worries Too Much

Li Hao... had already forgotten about that just now. He was reflecting; if he had known, he should have raised the score a bit. What were all these?

At this moment, Li Hao had already finished several matches. How to put it? Perhaps it was a post-tournament aftereffect; the opponents were all very excited, but it was unclear if they looked down on him or what, as they had no sense of vigilance at all. Winning brought no joy.

Puppet (USE Armor Dragon Third Generation) vs. Kalis of Taishin Academy (Tailong Heavy Second Generation TAS)

Tailong Heavy Second Generation

Configuration: Heavy Fighter 150-ton class

Dual-engine nuclear fission overclocked Thunder snake cannon, telescopic titanium blade, titanium claw

"Armor Dragon against Tailong, this is a bit of a drag. This kind of heavy Mecha is extremely disgusting in Arena mode," Alzi couldn't help but say. "High firepower, strong defense, especially the telescopic titanium blade which is also a counter to close combat. In Arena mode, the clumsy defect is covered up to the greatest extent."

"I have an impression of this Kalis; he also participated in this tournament, but Taishin Academy didn't make it into the elimination round. Their characteristics are still quite distinct. If it were me, I would play for flexibility."

"Forget it. Although Tailong is a bit clumsy, one strike from the telescopic titanium blade can cut an Armor Dragon in half. To deal with this, you either snipe or use a light Mecha to circle and kill. Anyway, the Arena is hard to play," Alzi curled his lip.

Dita couldn't be bothered to pay attention to these two people; the existence of Arths was clearly stimulating the males' desire to perform.

The battle began. The Armor Dragon Fighter ejected and charged toward the Tailong Heavy at high speed. Kalis on the opposite side grinned, "My Tailong is everyone's daddy in the Arena. Dinner time!"

The overclocked laser cannon shone brightly, firing at full power. There are always ways to deal with some new types of Mecha; after everyone suffered losses on Titan, they made countermeasures in the design of new Mecha, but old goods like the Armor Dragon are just free points.

On the battlefield, the advancing Armor Dragon Fighter suddenly shifted to the left, dodging the attack. With almost no pause, it rotated and pulled diagonally to the right. In mid-air, the engine roared, spiraling forward. While dodging the attack, it instantly closed the distance to less than ten meters.

And Kalis was no pushover. Either far or near, mid-range was disadvantageous for the Tailong Fighter. He decisively abandoned long-range attacks. The Tailong Fighter, like a prehistoric beast, lunged directly at the Armor Dragon Fighter with a roar. It was truly like a fierce tiger pouncing on a rabbit. At the same time, titanium blades popped out from both arms. As long as it grazed, with this tonnage, the Armor Dragon simply couldn't defend against it.

Especially since the Armor Dragon had just performed a series of intense control maneuvers, its movements were already spent.

"Won!" Feynman added with satisfaction. The enemy's opponent is a comrade-in-arms.

On the battlefield, under the crushing offensive of the Tailong Fighter, the Armor Dragon Fighter lost its balance and plunged headfirst. However, it barely dodged the attack, and at the same time, the fuselage dropped into a position beneath the heavy fighter. Before the Tailong Fighter could make its next move, the Armor Dragon suddenly pushed off the ground, borrowed the force to perform a spin, and kicked over.

But the people from Tianxing didn't feel it was of any use at all. They were facing a 150-ton Tailong Heavy. Want to kick it over? Isn't this a dream? Who doesn't know that the center of gravity of the "Giant God Soldier" series of Mecha is the most stable?

However, the Armor Dragon wasn't trying to attack. The fighter's right leg hooked onto the Tailong Fighter to act as a pivot, and the engine sprayed for a spin to get behind it. Kalis was not a weak player either; the Tailong kicked backward suddenly. With this kind of impact, as long as it hit, it would definitely kick him half to death.

Yet the Armor Dragon that was hit didn't explode as imagined. Instead, it used the opponent's support to lift the entire Mecha into the air. At this moment, it was already completely behind the Tailong Fighter.

While falling, the titanium blade struck.

Clang, clang, clang, clang...

Four consecutive blades were inserted into the Tailong's joints, sparks flying everywhere. Kalis in the Cockpit roared crazily, "Motherf***er, the Mecha is out of control."

The Tailong Fighter had the advantage, but the TAS technology was still a bit rough. Once it encountered precision strikes, the gaps in the joints became a burden. Four blades inserted, and it directly lost control.

The Armor Dragon landed, while the Tailong Fighter, like a drunkard, staggered forward a few steps and collapsed with a boom.

Puppet wins!

Kalis of Tailong was also furious. What the hell is this? He hadn't even performed yet. Just as he was preparing to have a second round with the opponent, he found he had been kicked.

Yes, as soon as the battle ended, it felt like the system prompt kicked the opponent out.

How impatient is this?

The four people from Tianxing were silent. After a long while, Arths couldn't help but ask, "Sister, is this a jump blade?"

Dita nodded, "A very powerful precision jump blade. Since when did USE produce such a close-combat expert?"

Alzi on the side couldn't help but lick his lips, "Why do I feel like he kind of disdains his opponent..."

"I probably misunderstood. This person isn't targeting Feynman, but simply doesn't look down on him at all."

And on the other side, Feynman clearly realized it too. He thought the opponent's behavior had the suspicion of insulting him; now it seems the "suspicion" can be removed.

As a formal member of the Tianxing Martial Arts team, if he doesn't get his dignity back, does he still have the face to stay in the team?

Feynman clicked the battle invitation like a robot, must fight back, must fight back...

At this time, at the Tianjing EMP Building, Li Hao, who still had unfinished business, had already been called away by Wuzang.

"Want to get a late-night snack together?" Wuzang asked.

"Sure, now that you mention it, I feel so hungry," Li Hao laughed. He even thought about going back to play Virtual Mode. How come it feels like they are all rookies? Perhaps the experts haven't started school yet.

"Hao Ge, effective training is more important than quantity. Don't play too much every time; thinking is important. Let's go to the gravity room to practice first." Wuzang was not the type to be fond of teaching others, but he also received news that Principal Long was a "ruthless person."

"Isn't it a late-night snack?" Li Hao was stunned.

"Training first, accompany me." Wuzang didn't care if Li Hao agreed or not and dragged him away.

The equipment training center in Tianjing was still brightly lit, but there were far fewer people than in the EMP Building. Fighting is fun, but tempering the body is the most boring. However, the few people there seemed to be desperately showing off their muscles in a corner.

There is only one reason for this situation: there is a beautiful woman with a curvy figure.

"Ah, isn't that the Class Monitor?" Li Hao also took a look; it was Zhou Naiyi.

Zhou Naiyi, the Class Monitor of Class 16. In a sense, Class 16 is the Elite class of their grade. As the Class Monitor, Zhou Naiyi's strength in all aspects is beyond doubt. Although she wasn't a participating player in the Mecha tournament that just finished, she went along; she is a key cultivation target of the school. Of course, her appearance is also quite impressive. Those in the class who are familiar with her like to call her "Sister Yi."

Zhou Naiyi is actually very annoyed by the strange poses people around her strike when she exercises. The boys are also strange; do they really think this can attract girls' attention?

But this is a public facility, so she has no choice but to turn a blind eye. Usually, she would choose to come early or late when there are fewer people. Today, she was waiting for someone.

Zhou Naiyi put down the equipment in her hand, wiped her sweat, draped a towel over her shoulder, and walked toward Li Hao and Wuzang. Li Hao shrugged, "Let's go, let's go over there."

Wuzang didn't move, but pointed at Zhou Naiyi.

"Li Hao, wait a moment, I have something to tell you."

Li Hao turned his head and pointed at himself. How to put it? Although they are in the same class and have spoken a few words, they definitely can't be considered close. If it comes down to it, Wuzang and Zhou Naiyi have more common language.

"Class Monitor, any advice?"

Zhou Naiyi looked at Li Hao with a complicated expression. She really didn't know how this person got into Class 16. All the special admissions for their grade were in Class 16, but someone who voluntarily applied for the Journalism Department was transferred into the strongest class of the Mecha Department. This matter itself was very strange. At first, Zhou Naiyi still had some expectations, but after a whole school year, how to put it? He often skipped classes, and when he came, he slept. But strangely, no one in the school asked about it.

A privileged person?

But he was an orphan, and she heard that someone saw Li Hao working a part-time job delivering pizza outside, called something like Colorful Pizza. Zhou Naiyi could only guess in a good direction, perhaps his family members had made contributions or something.

"Li Hao, since we are in the same class, we are a team. You should have heard Wuzang say it, so I won't be tactful. You were the last in our class last year."

"Ah, isn't the last one Zuo Xiaotang?" Li Hao asked in surprise.

Zhou Naiyi looked at Li Hao as if he were hopeless...

"Li Hao, Zuo Xiaotang's specialized shooting is at a top level. The annual comprehensive assessment refers to the EMP, the year-end exam, and outstanding individual items. His shooting accuracy and talent are among the best even in Tianjing."

"Damn, this little fatty set me up... I'm sorry, I held the class back, I will work hard!" Li Hao felt a bit embarrassed; his attempt to control his score had caused trouble.
