Chapter 216: The Intelligent Machine Army Comes Because of You

The furious Intelligent Machine Vajra swung its fists, trudging forward with heavy steps, relentlessly pursuing that bright red mecha.

That's right, 118 and Yunxiao are fleeing.

When the Intelligent Machine Vajra appeared, Yunxiao piloted the mecha and dealt a fierce blow to the opposite side.

As expected, the slash only scraped the enemy's metal plating; Yunxiao hesitated not at all and immediately turned and ran.

"Why is he so hard!!!"

Yunxiao shouted, yet her body instinctively kept running outward.

"Miss, actually.... you can fight."

"Can't fight! Can't fight! There's a cheat!"

118's Logic Core felt utterly helpless; Yunxiao still had a long way to go before becoming a true Iron Guard.

If Yun Sheng were piloting now, the opponent would surely shout, "Let you witness the art of mecha!!" and charge forward howling.

Yun Sheng's strong and supremely confident heart is exactly what Yunxiao needs now; as for why Yunxiao has become so timid, 118 feels the main reason is likely that the other side has been constantly beating her down.

Know this: Yunxiao used to be a neighborhood bully; although her own combat ability was lacking, having 118 as her constant bodyguard made her perpetually arrogant.

But ever since the Insect Tide occurred, Yunxiao has been constantly bullied—by the Insect disaster, by the New Federation, and now even by the Intelligent Machines.

118 thinks Yunxiao should have a nickname: Yun Paopao.

Although 118 brought Yunxiao here this time to suppress her airy mindset, seeing this situation, 118 still feels the need to change tactics.

"Miss, I think I need to correct your perception of your own combat ability."

118 forcefully took over Chi Hong's mecha frame, came to an abrupt halt in midair, watching the Intelligent Machine Vajra come at them rolling with yellow sand, yet remained suspended motionless.

"Brother! What are you doing!!!"

"Run fast!! Wahhh!!"

"Going to die, going to die, going to die!!!"

Yunxiao emitted a bursting sound, reaching out to continuously shake 118's arm, anxious to the point of almost crying.

118 ignored Yunxiao's bursting sound; all that could be seen was him gripping an ion light sword and slowly raising it toward the Intelligent Machine Vajra.

At this moment, as 118 watched the Intelligent Machine Vajra roar angrily at him, his Logic Core suddenly welled up with.... a special feeling.

It seemed like exhilarating release, yet also like a surging heart; in short, 118 didn't know exactly what this feeling was,

118 didn't know if he was special, but in the past, when encountering such a situation, he would surely have obeyed the Iron Guard's orders and fled at top speed.

Originally 118's steady fighting style had become increasingly aggressive; he felt this state was largely due to Yun Sheng's influence.

As for the Mecha Iron Guard's agreement—such as not being allowed to resist the Iron Guard—it's a joke; Yunxiao isn't any Iron Guard, so she resisted and resisted.

"Miss, according to your father's saying."

"Next, I will show you: the art of mecha."

Behind Chi Hong, six red mecha light wings unfolded, bursting forward with tremendous force, dragging Chi Hong into a mad charge ahead.

The Intelligent Machine Vajra extended its arm to grab the airborne Chi Hong, but the latter merely tilted slightly to dodge; the ion light sword slipped into the Vajra's arm, tracing upward and leaving a red gouge cut by the sword's ultra‑high heat.

The collision between mechas was utterly romantic!

This is the art of mecha!

But Yunxiao didn't care about art or not; she only knew she seemed to have been scared into wetting herself....

Exactly, in the literal sense....

Yunxiao incredulously touched and sniffed it, then instantly felt life‑less as she gazed up at the cockpit ceiling.

"How embarrassing..."

At this moment, 118 was locked in a tug‑of‑war with the Righteous Body Vajra outside, the clang of steel on steel unceasing, but Yunxiao lay there like a salted fish on the ground, utterly detached from everything around her...

In the end, 118 showed Yunxiao what the art of mecha is, and Yunxiao also demonstrated to 118 what her own art is....

After salvaging some decent parts from the Righteous Body Vajra, the person and mecha returned to the lodging prepared by Elder Yuan.

"Miss, could you explain why water is getting into the air‑conditioning beneath the cockpit?"

Yunxiao's face flushed crimson at the moment; she didn't know how to explain it—better that only she knows she was scared into wetting herself! No one else must find out!

"It must be... too much sweat!"

"After all, that would be too frightening! It's normal to leave a bit of sweat!"

118 dismissed that far‑fetched explanation, knowing Yunxiao probably had some unspeakable difficulty.

Maybe the water she brought spilled, or maybe the air‑conditioning failed; either way, 118 didn't think to look in that direction.

"Miss, what did you learn from my battle this time?"

118 suddenly asked; Yunxiao froze, her not‑so‑smart brain frantically thinking how to bluff her way out.

After all, in that situation she basically saw nothing....

"Yunxiao ultimately managed to bluff her way through, but you're not satisfied with the impression you gave her."

"To train Yunxiao into a qualified Iron Guard, you harshly experienced what it feels like to be a mother; you need to get Yunxiao out of her timid, yes‑man state, make her confident yet not arrogant like Yun Sheng, and the first step is to correctly assess her own strength."

"\"If you want to become a strong Iron Guard, miss, you must first correctly recognize your own strength. \" Yunxiao may be timid, but she listens well to you—you say do something and she does it, which saves you a lot of trouble."

"And as a machinist, Yunxiao, besides enduring your harsh daily training, also tinkers with strange mechanical weapons—for instance, she's currently researching a magnetic levitation automatic repair station."

"Simply put, the mecha fights up front while a floating workshop hovers behind to buff you; but you outright rejected this novelty, the reason being simple—since the opponent isn't a human‑machine hybrid, they'd instantly target you for using it, so you'd be better off spending that time thinking how to boost mecha combat power."

"While your training proceeds orderly, the Intelligent Machine Army elsewhere is also stirring, the cause being simple—you've drawn the attention of the Intelligent Machine Empress."

"The Intelligent Machine Army has come because of you...."
