Chapter 94

With over thirty mechs concentrating their firepower, a single hit could potentially take down even a Silver-level mech.

Dozens of intense light beams and multiple missiles all missed their mark, and a massive black mushroom cloud suddenly rose from the dense jungle below, surging upwards into the sky. The violent shockwave spread out in all directions, and the forest within a kilometer radius was mowed down like grass, flattened by the impact.

However, the "Lightning Tiger" mech had already vanished from its original position, dashing towards Yang Chengbin's "Dragon Blood Titan" at a blinding speed. The students only managed to see a series of afterimages in the air.

"How can it be so fast?"

Yang Chengbin's face turned pale. The reaction speed of his opponent far exceeded his expectations, even a Bronze Three-Star mech might not be able to match it.

"What are you all standing around for? Attack quickly!"

As Qin Huang rapidly approached, he suddenly snapped back to his senses and roared, "Kill this brat and his companions, not a single one should be left alive!"

The followers finally came to their senses and opened fire, but with their capabilities, it was a stretch to hit Qin Huang, who was performing at his full potential!

No one knew what cultivation method the young man had practiced, but his instinct for predicting danger was astonishingly precise. Out of ten energy beam attacks, one hit would be considered lucky, and this clearly wouldn't be enough to penetrate the "Lightning Tiger" mech's energy shield.

By the time Yang Chengbin realized the situation was dire, the opponent was less than three hundred meters away, a distance that a mech could cover in less than a breath!

He gritted his teeth and was about to hide in his own mech formation when the "Lightning Tiger" mech's ion laser sword, with a blinding light, struck the "Dragon Blood Titan's" energy shield heavily.

"You little bastard, how dare you attack me?"

Feeling his dignity and face damaged, he angrily drew his light sword to counterattack. The followers, fearing friendly fire, had to stop their long-range attacks and drew their melee weapons to surround him.

At this moment, if Yang Chengbin could have put aside his pride and retreated early, he might still have a chance to survive. Unfortunately, his anger had been provoked, and he completely forgot the danger, not realizing that the opponent before him was a terrifying existence who had killed multiple geniuses.

"Flower Star Rain!"

"Asura Illusion!"

"Starlight Flowing Rainbow!"

The three deadly moves were executed in one fluid motion. Even the "Dragon Blood Titan," which had been modified and upgraded, could not withstand such a terrifying attack. The energy shield rapidly dimmed and finally burst like a soap bubble!

"No..." The pampered young master Yang finally realized the impending disaster and let out a desperate plea.

"Now you beg for mercy? It's too late!"

Qin Huang sneered, and the ion laser sword transformed into a series of light images, tearing through the "Dragon Blood Titan's" front armor like paper, piercing the cockpit. Blood instantly spurted out, staining the entire cabin red!

"You damned little brat!"

On the starship, General Yang Shiqi felt a darkness cloud his vision, almost fainting.

Others didn't know that the Yang Chengbin who had just died on the planet's surface was actually his youngest illegitimate son.

Although he couldn't publicly acknowledge him, the general had always doted on the child, granting every request, which had fostered his arrogant and domineering personality. He never imagined that today, due to his own greed and ignorance, he would meet his end here!

Enraged, he almost ordered the military police to move out and capture the audacious Qin Huang on the spot! Fortunately, his adjutant secretly kicked him, preventing him from losing his mind completely.

Facing the slightly puzzled gazes of his colleagues, he struggled to calm down and forced a smile, saying, "Sorry, I suddenly feel a bit unwell, so I need to see a doctor. Minister, I'll take my leave for a moment!"

Xu Yunlong nodded, acknowledging it, and continued to focus on the large screen in front of him.

In the air, after Yang Chengbin's death, his followers became a scattered group. They could no longer organize a large-scale attack and, after Qin Huang destroyed several more mechs, the remaining ones finally dispersed.

"Hmph! A bunch of useless trash!"

Qin Huang coldly surveyed the surroundings and bluntly said over the public communication channel, "I'm determined to be the first in this trial!"

"Anyone who disagrees, come and fight!"

Hu Zhenfeng's calm voice echoed, "Some people are too cowardly to act themselves, so they offer benefits to a bunch of cannon fodder to come and die! But cannon fodder are also people, and if too many die, do you think your families can afford the compensation?"

A few moments later, several cold snorts came from the communication channel. Many of the mech teams patrolling the distant horizon began to withdraw.

Clearly, Qin Huang's displayed ferocity had intimidated enough people. At least the less capable followers were no longer willing to act, and the experts who could match Qin Huang had various concerns.

Perhaps they did have the strength to kill Qin Huang, but before that, this genius had enough opportunity to drag them down with him, just like in his battle with Chen Mengxuan.

After all the hard work, the end result would benefit others! No one was willing to make such a losing deal!

In the following time, the number of battles between students on the planet's surface suddenly decreased. Almost everyone was silently hunting native beasts and gathering resources.

Qin Huang's ranking slowly and painstakingly rose, taking about two hours to climb one position, and later it took nearly three hours to advance a single rank.

But even so, by the time the trial was nearing its end, he had successfully squeezed into the top three, with a gap of less than a thousand points from the second place and nearly five thousand points from the first.

"… This hateful bastard, is he really going to create a miracle?"

Chen Mengxuan, while directing her team to deliver their harvest, kept glancing at the screen, her anxiety and tension evident.

At this point, the top student of Yun Ding Military Academy, relying on the benefits she had offered, had mobilized nearly a hundred elite students to help her, but the results were still unsatisfactory.

Of course, she could find more people to help, but the debts she already owed were substantial. Continuing to borrow would deplete all her savings!

As a member of a prominent family, she placed great importance on her credibility. If she couldn't repay her debts, the consequences would be even worse!

"… Sister, the points list has been updated again!" Her close friend said nervously over the private channel.

On the list, Qin Huang's name flashed and finally leaped to the second position, with a gap of less than three thousand points from her!

"No, I can't hesitate any longer!"

Chen Mengxuan gritted her teeth and said, "Yurao, is there any way to recruit more people? As for the price… let's stick to the previous standard!"

Wang Yurao worriedly said, "It can be done, but… we've already spent a lot! If we still can't secure the top spot, wouldn't it be…"

"Do we have any other choice now?"

Chen Mengxuan said hatefully, "If it weren't for that bastard, we wouldn't be in such a dire situation! If I had known, I would never have let him off back then!"

"Alright! I'll contact people right away." Wang Yurao sighed.

Now, this senior student was like a gambler on the verge of ruin, forced to bet her last chip for a slim chance of turning the tide!

A moment later, over forty mechs approached rapidly from a distance.

A light, teasing voice sounded over the communication channel, "Ah! Dear senior, you finally decided to ask for my help? What an honor!"

Chen Mengxuan's eyes turned cold, and she asked her friend in a low voice, "Why did you bring this scoundrel?"

Wang Yurao smiled bitterly, "There's no choice. The students we can find now have limited capabilities and resources. Some teams have already committed to others, and the only decent team left is this guy!"

Chen Mengxuan paused and said, "Senior Chen Jie, how many resources do you have?"

"Not much, not much, but I can still come up with ten to twenty thousand points worth of resources!"

The voice chuckled, "And there's still time, my people can continue to help you! But the price will need to be increased by ten percent!"

"What do you mean? Are you taking advantage of the situation? Don't forget we're from the same school!" Wang Yurao shouted angrily.

Chen Jie said without a hint of guilt, "We are from the same school, but even brothers need to settle accounts, right? Especially when helping in a crisis is more valuable than adding to success. I'm putting in so much effort for you, so it's not too much to ask for a little extra, right?"

"Of course, I know you're tight on resources now, so I have a better proposal. You and your friend can spend a night with me, and I'll help you secure the top spot for free! What do you say?"

"You… shameless!"

Wang Yurao's face turned red with anger. Did this scoundrel have any shame? How could he say such things?

Chen Jie said lazily, "Why are you so angry? I'm not forcing you. It's a fair and voluntary transaction. If you don't agree, I'll just do it myself!"

As he spoke, he was about to lead his team away.

"Wait!"

Chen Mengxuan suddenly said, "I agree, I'll pay the price you asked for, and I'll settle it in full after the trial!"

"Then, it's a deal!" Chen Jie nodded in satisfaction.

With this team's addition, Chen Mengxuan's advantage finally showed, and the gap in points with Qin Huang widened to about twenty thousand.

However, Qin Huang's pursuit remained fierce and strong. By the time there was only half an hour left in the trial, the gap between them had narrowed to three thousand points.

"This senior is really determined! I wonder if she can achieve her goal!" Xin Xurong sighed.

Hu Zhenfeng smiled, "I think Qin Huang won't disappoint us. Prepare for a celebration when we return!"

The final time passed quickly, and dozens of bright signal flares bloomed in the sky, signaling the end of the trial!

After another half hour, the final points list was updated and displayed on all the students' optical computers.
