The intense battle in the arena continued.

On the surface, Yuan Beibei’s Origin Energy Index was 23.5, far surpassing that of a Second-Class Mobile Warrior, while Qin Huang’s Origin Energy Index was only 17.6, still a considerable distance from the standard of a Second-Class Mobile Warrior.

This kind of brute-force confrontation was the most energy-consuming and the best test of endurance. Under normal circumstances, unless both sides were evenly matched, the weaker party would quickly be defeated, with no room for侥幸 (侥幸 means侥幸, but in this context, it means 'luck')!

However, the fact was that Qin Huang and this well-known Miss from Dinnan Star Military Academy were evenly matched, and after a full ten minutes, there was still no clear winner!

Xiao Pingyue’s face turned ashen. It had been four months since he last fought Qin Huang. Thanks to the resources from his family and his own efforts, his Origin Energy Index had increased to 16.8. Although he was still behind Qin Huang, he had not completely given up on reclaiming his position.

But after seeing the battle between the young man and Yuan Beibei, he realized just how large the gap between them was. If he were in such a situation, he would probably not last more than three or four rounds and would be forced to retreat in disgrace!

"It seems that his top rank was not obtained by chance!" Cheng Shuhan observed for a while, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and said to Muliya:

"Yuan Beibei doesn’t seem to have much of a chance of winning. I never thought that there would be such an outstanding student in this year’s class! Do you know anything about his past?"

Muliya shook her head and said, "This guy once beat up an examiner and, according to school rules, should have been given a disciplinary record! If it weren’t for Luo Tianxiong pleading on his behalf, I wouldn’t even know about this student!"

Cheng Shuhan smiled, "Someone who can make Luo Tianxiong, that block of granite, look at him with new eyes, must not be simple! It seems that Qin Huang is indeed worth protecting."

In the space city.

Yuan Beibei’s attacks were like a storm, intense and relentless. Despite the rapid consumption of her Origin Energy, she was confident that in such a confrontation, Qin Huang would be the first to give in.

From the moment the battle began, she sensed a familiar aura from this young man, though she couldn’t quite put her finger on it, it was undeniably real!

To this end, she changed her usual fighting style, deciding to use brute force to overwhelm him, relying on her superior Origin Energy to crush him! Only such a fighting style could quickly force out Qin Huang’s true strength and perhaps resolve the doubts in her heart!

However, the young man’s performance exceeded everyone’s expectations. Despite his Origin Energy being significantly weaker, his counterattacks were no less powerful. His strikes were even faster than hers, and even when he occasionally exposed a weakness, he always managed to quickly cover it, making Yuan Beibei’s attacks repeatedly ineffective! And he continued to hold his ground without showing any signs of weakening!

"This guy… how does he train? He’s so difficult to deal with!" Yuan Beibei felt a growing sense of frustration as the battle dragged on, muttering to herself.

Several more minutes passed, and Qin Huang’s defense remained impenetrable. He even had the energy to speak to her, "Yuan Beibei, that’s enough, right? Do you want to continue?"

"Of course, we haven’t decided the winner yet!" she replied irritably, increasing the intensity of her attacks.

Qin Huang smiled silently. If that’s the case, let me show you my new combat technique!

"Starlight Flowing Rainbow!"

The Gargoyle mech’s movements suddenly changed. The bright light blade flickered, precisely blocking Beibei Cat’s attacks while the surrounding space subtly altered.

Yuan Beibei was shocked to find that her blade encountered an inexplicable resistance, as if she were a fly caught in a spider’s web or a person trapped in quicksand, unable to exert any strength!

The Void Hunter trembled, its anti-gravity engines bursting to full power, trying to break away from the Gargoyle and counterattack.

However, this agile Bronze mech, known for its speed, now moved like a fly trapped in amber, each movement extremely difficult. It took at least a second for the mech to respond to each command!

Such a slow and maddening reaction speed was enough to cause the situation to deteriorate to an irreparable point in battle!

As expected, a few seconds later, the frustrated Yuan Beibei was sent out of the map, and the system immediately declared Qin Huang the winner.

"Actually… he really won!"

"Unbelievable!"

"Did Yuan Beibei let him win?"

"Nonsense, why would she let him win? He has nothing to do with her!"

Despite some mental preparation, the students were still incredulous when the result appeared on the screen.

The students in the room were generally aware of Yuan Beibei’s strength and understood how difficult it was to defeat her. Yet, Qin Huang, with a clearly weaker Origin Energy Index, managed to create a miracle, making it hard for them to accept.

"This doesn’t count!" Yuan Beibei gritted her teeth,不服气 (不服气 means不服气, but in this context, it means 'unwilling to admit defeat') said, "Let’s take a break and have another match!"

Qin Huang nodded in agreement, took a bottle of Lanhua Essence, and returned to his seat to meditate.

The result of this battle had a profound impact on the entire class. Yuan Beibei was one of the top students in this year’s class, and Qin Huang’s ability to defeat her in a direct confrontation made the students who had previously doubted him reconsider and begin to view him with more respect.

Muliya briefly commented on the previous battle and then announced that Tan Qiping, number two, would go up against Xu Dezhi, number four.

As a top student in the military academy, Tan Qiping’s strength was not to be underestimated! His attack speed was fast, and his fighting style was cunning and unpredictable. Xu Dezhi, on the other hand, had a calm and composed fighting style, with a dignified air.

Both had similar Origin Energy Indices and were familiar with each other’s techniques and strategies, so the battle lasted nearly half an hour before Tan Qiping narrowly won.

"Thank you for the match!" he said expressionlessly.

"No problem, we can spar again in the future!" Xu Dezhi chuckled.

After Muliya’s comments, Yuan Beibei stood up again and gestured to Qin Huang to invite him to a rematch.

The young man silently sat at the terminal, logged into the system, and waited for the central computer to match the map.

Simulation accuracy: 95%.

Map selection: Xilang Planet, Songbola Reefs.

Mech model: Gargoyle Type 3, Bronze One-Star.

Yuan Beibei pondered for a moment and also chose the Gargoyle Type 3. From the previous battle, she felt that her basic attacks were still stronger than Qin Huang’s. By using this mech, she could further enhance her attack power and significantly improve her defense, potentially evening the odds.

The map instantly switched, and the scene before them became a vast, blue ocean, with black-brown reefs scattered throughout. The larger ones had a diameter of a hundred meters, while the smaller ones were only two to three meters, just enough for a mech to stand on.

The distance between the reefs was irregular, ranging from a few thousand meters to just a few steps away.

Qin Huang looked around and found that the reef he was standing on was relatively large, about fifty meters in diameter, so he decided to stay and wait for Beibei Cat to start the battle.

After about ten seconds, the Gargoyle mech, glowing with a yellow light, drifted over using its anti-gravity field. As soon as it landed, the next intense battle began.

Compared to the previous match, there was little change. After about ten minutes, Qin Huang once again used his trump card, causing Beibei Cat to lose the match in extreme frustration.

"Qin Huang, what level of cultivation technique are you using? Can you reveal its name?" Cheng Shuhan finally couldn’t help but ask.

She had already noticed that the young man’s Origin Energy was significantly purer than Yuan Beibei’s, almost on par with her own. This could only mean that his cultivation technique was more advanced!

Qin Huang shook his head and said, "Sorry, it’s a family secret, and I can’t disclose it!"

The cultivation techniques provided by the military academy were not of high quality, so students from wealthy backgrounds chose to cultivate more advanced techniques on their own. The federal military also supported this and allowed them to keep their family techniques confidential. As long as the cultivators themselves did not make major mistakes, no one had the right to infringe on their privacy!

Cheng Shuhan didn’t expect the young man to easily reveal his secrets to an outsider like her. She wasn’t offended by his refusal but sighed with some regret, saying:

"Since that’s the case, I suppose you won’t reveal your family background either?"

"Of course, it’s your right, and I won’t ask! Now… can I request a match with you? Just to guide your cultivation!"

Qin Huang smiled calmly, "Your cultivation is already at the level of a Silver Mech Warrior. Is there any point in a match between us? However…"

He thought for a moment and continued, "If you’re willing to wait two years, I would be happy to accept! What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall was taken aback, even Muliya frowned, seemingly thinking that the young man was talking nonsense.

Cheng Shuhan looked at him deeply and said solemnly, "I spent over three years in battle to advance from a Second-Class Bronze Mobile Warrior to my current rank. My genetic talent is Elite+, and I have the full support of my family’s resources to achieve today’s success!"

"I don’t know where your confidence comes from, thinking you can do better than me! But my intuition tells me you’re not just talking. So… I’ll believe you this time!"

Qin Huang nodded slightly, accepting her challenge.

In reality, his performance today was deliberately restrained. Otherwise, Yuan Beibei wouldn’t have lasted so long against him! As for Cheng Shuhan, he couldn’t defeat her now, but he could certainly exchange a few blows with her.

However, to protect his secrets, it was better not to draw attention to himself!
