Chapter 89

"Buzz!"

Energy blades clashed in the air, emitting a trembling sound that made one's heart race.

As soon as she engaged, Chen Mengxuan's expression grew even more serious, and her movements suddenly changed. She wielded her blade like the wind, launching a fierce and relentless assault on the "Lightning Tiger" mecha across from her! It was a relentless attack, disregarding the consumption of energy, as she had already regarded this young man, whom she was encountering for the first time, as an opponent on par with herself!

Qin Huang's eyes were stern, and the ion laser sword in his hand moved like lightning, countering the senior student's rapid attacks without yielding. The bright energy blades drew countless intricate and complex trajectories in the air, weaving a web that gradually enveloped the towering "Fierce Wind Mammoth."

The Arayashiki mind method was fully activated, complementing the War Emperor Star Punishment and the Star Array Flowing Rainbow techniques. Qin Huang had already revealed all his trump cards, sacrificing a large amount of energy within his body to barely hold off Chen Mengxuan's fierce attacks.

After all, the opponent was already a fourth-rank mobile warrior, with first-class reaction speed and combat awareness. She would promptly detect and respond to each of his attacks, defending so tightly that there was no room for penetration!

The high-intensity battle lasted for a full minute, and it was still evenly matched. The mechas outside, forming the perimeter, could only see two massive spheres of light colliding, entangling, and occasionally bursting into showers of light, dancing and dissipating in the air!

What they didn't notice was that the ion laser sword in Qin Huang's hand was showing signs of strain, the energy blade dimming imperceptibly.

The "Lightning Tiger" mecha's power module was operating at overcapacity, trying to provide as much energy as possible to withstand the increasingly fierce attacks from the opponent!

Qin Huang's brows were tightly furrowed, feeling the pressure mounting in his heart.

Under normal circumstances, he was well aware of the attack power limit of a fourth-rank bronze mecha's ship-cutting energy blade. His modified ion laser sword had a destructive power on par with a third-rank mecha, and even surpassed it. Even when facing a higher-level ship-cutting energy blade, he could hold out for a considerable period.

However, with the vast resources Chen Mengxuan possessed, she could also obtain an optimized and modified mecha, putting Qin Huang at a disadvantage in this aspect. Moreover, under the current circumstances, he could find no effective way to counter her!

Of course, what he didn't know was that Chen Mengxuan and the surrounding mecha students were even more shocked.

"… Is this Qin Huang really just a second-rank mobile warrior? Could there be a mistake?" a surprised female voice sounded over the communication channel.

"… Indeed, it's quite surprising. The number of students who can hold out against a senior for so long in our military academy can be counted on one hand!" Su Wenzhong agreed.

"Who would have thought that such a powerful expert would emerge from a poor and remote area like the Dinnan Star Region? I remember that their military academy usually admits no more than three students each year!" another voice added.

"Right, he's a promising talent! But what does it matter? He is destined to die here today. The senior won't let him continue to grow!" a cold voice said.

The communication channel fell silent. Although the students didn't say it out loud, they all agreed with this view in their hearts.

Despite being elite citizens of the Federation and future pillars of the military, the suppression and trampling of classmates and comrades for the sake of their own future was a common practice in human society.

Such behavior was usually limited to a certain extent, and overstepping the line was rare. However, in the current trial battlefield, with the legal "casualty quota," the deep-seated brutal factors in human nature were unleashed. With young, arrogant, and competitive students, such incidents were inevitable!

The more outstanding geniuses that died, the fewer competitors they would face in the future, and the higher the resource allocation they would receive! This was the true thought in many students' minds.

In the arena, the intense battle between Chen Mengxuan and Qin Huang continued.

"If I were a third-rank mobile warrior now, perhaps I wouldn't be so passive. Unfortunately…"

Qin Huang thought with some regret. Under the circumstances where his energy index and mecha rank were both at a disadvantage, defeating this senior was an unrealistic expectation!

However, he couldn't afford to lose this battle. Life only had one chance, and hoping that Chen Mengxuan would let him leave unharmed was a delusion!

So, he had to take a risky move!

Qin Huang launched a few rapid attacks, forcing Chen Mengxuan to retreat slightly. His mecha suddenly rushed into her defensive perimeter, and his right arm, seemingly slow but actually fast, raised the Gauss electromagnetic cannon, which was already ready.

A dark light flashed, and a set of fifteen specially made high-density alloy projectiles were fired, carrying terrifying kinetic energy. In an instant, they collided with the "Fierce Wind Mammoth's" energy shield. At such close range, there was no way to avoid it!

"… This kid must be out of his mind!" the mecha students who saw his actions thought in disdain.

The energy shield of a fourth-rank bronze mecha was not so easy to breach. Against the particularly strong defense of the "Fierce Wind Mammoth," even Qin Huang, let alone an opponent of the same rank, would need over ten seconds to break through!

This time was enough for Chen Mengxuan to kill him several times over!

Amidst the dull and dense sounds of impact and explosions, a shocking scene unfolded before everyone's eyes!

The thick, pale green energy shield of the "Fierce Wind Mammoth" deformed and indented under the kinetic projectiles' attack, barely holding for a moment before quietly shattering into pieces of light, torn apart by the violent airflow and disappearing without a trace!

In the next instant, the energy blade of the ion laser sword had already touched the body of Chen Mengxuan's mecha, and the situation was about to reverse.

"Damn!" Chen Mengxuan, who was greatly alarmed, finally reacted in time. A pale purple light barrier suddenly appeared around her, blocking the ion laser sword's frenzied attack!

Barely escaping, she gritted her teeth and launched a strong counterattack, forcing Qin Huang to retreat and successfully breaking out of the battle.

Looking down, she saw a clear sword mark on the abdomen of her mecha. If she had hesitated for just a tenth of a second, her mecha would have been "gutted"!

What was going on? Her strength level was two ranks higher than his, yet she couldn't do anything to him for so long, and he almost managed to counterattack!

The surrounding area was silent, and the mecha students watching the battle were still in shock.

A person who could make their senior lose face hadn't appeared in Yun Ding Military Academy for a long time! Apart from a few senior instructors, ordinary so-called elite students were no match for her!

"… What method did you use?" Chen Mengxuan hesitated for a moment before hesitantly asking.

Qin Huang's performance was too far from the norm, not at all like a second-rank mobile warrior. Could he be hiding his true strength? That was too unbelievable!

Qin Huang took the time to recover and adjust, then said calmly:

"Nothing special, just a desperate move! Senior Chen Mengxuan, I admit that I can't defeat you in a direct confrontation, so I had to use this mutually destructive method to deal with you!"

"Is that so!"

Chen Mengxuan felt a bit relieved, regaining some confidence:

"Using such a move must have taken a great toll on you, right? I wonder if you can use it again? And those specially made projectiles, which must have been processed by a mecha creator, I can't believe you managed to get such precious resources!"

"Unfortunately, you are still no match for me, and it won't change your current situation!"

Qin Huang smiled slightly: "I still have some of these! Although I can't defeat you, dragging you down with me is still possible!"

As he spoke, the weapon launch ports on his mecha's abdomen opened, revealing a dense array of missile warheads, especially a few silver-glowing, intricately patterned proton armor-piercing missiles that made Chen Mengxuan's hair stand on end.

"… These… these are…"

Qin Huang sighed lightly: "You see, right? Although we are destined to die here today, dragging a genius like you down with us isn't a bad deal! And my companions, they all have such things, so some of your classmates will also die!"

"Senior, you decide what to do!"

"…"
