Chapter 68

At the entrance of the square, one by one, the mobile suits marched out, their rumbling sounds echoing! People couldn't help but feel excited.

The model was the standard Lingyun series teaching machine used by the military academy, the WE.

Today's competition included mechanical obstacle movement and shooting, as well as the most popular mechanical combat.

Perhaps to avoid making the home team look too bad and to give Gute some face, this time Apollo Academy went first.

The first event was mechanical obstacle movement, mainly testing the pilot's reaction and flexibility in operating the mobile suit. After passing the obstacles, the final attack on the target had to be completed within three seconds of entering the attack range.

After yesterday's loss, Kanbena felt disgraced and wanted to show his strength in his strong event, so he went first.

Kanbena was very familiar with the Lingyun teaching machine and had maintained a perfect record in this competition.

As soon as Kanbena appeared, all the students from Apollo Academy stood up and cheered. At the command, the WE shot forward, the mechanical feet pounding the ground as it advanced at high speed. Facing the obstacles, it spun, jumped, and sprinted, all demonstrating Kanbena's skilled techniques. This wasn't a game; every operation put pressure on the body, and if one wasn't adapted to this pressure, the movements would become deformed. It was a completely different concept.

On both sides, there were warriors responsible for attacking. If the laser hit, the mechanical suit would stop. Kanbena dodged the attack with a fierce aerial somersault, drawing cheers. For such a performance, even the students from War God Academy couldn't withhold their applause.

After landing, he dove forward, kneeled on one knee, and instantly drew his laser gun, firing with a loud boom...

Precise point shots.

The target was destroyed on impact.

It was a seamless and nearly perfect demonstration.

Kanbena, who emerged from the cockpit, waved his hand, his forehead slightly sweaty, but his voice still strong.

Two minutes and ten seconds, attack completed!

The subsequent contestants from Apollo Academy all took around three minutes, a significant gap from Kanbena, but they all completed the task.

Apollo Academy's total score was fourteen minutes and twenty-three seconds.

Only the top two academies had the资格 to participate in the final mechanical combat.

The other one could just watch.

Seemingly in response, on Zeus Academy's side, Li Er was also the first to appear.

Everyone was very interested in this super genius who had made a name for himself, but no one knew how he would perform in operating the mechanical suit.

"I really hope this kid stumbles. Freshmen are usually weaker in this area," Ma Xiao said. Operating a mechanical suit required time to accumulate, and what a freshman could do was very limited.

"This is his strongest point," Meng Tian suddenly said, surprising everyone who looked at him.

"Kronos Group, PJ, the largest arms dealer on Earth."

Everyone was stunned, looking at this cold young man, suddenly realizing they were in different worlds. No wonder the surname Kronos sounded familiar.

Li Er had already entered the cockpit. The WE, this old mechanical suit, he hadn't played with since he was very young.

At the sound of a gunshot, Li Er's mobile suit began to advance, and the entire venue fell silent.

This was...

All people could see was a mechanical suit advancing like a bolt of lightning, almost in a straight line, dodging attacks with variable steps, as if playing with a child.

No one even noticed when the laser gun was drawn, and three precise shots in rapid succession, overlapping attacks.

Boom...

One minute and forty-five seconds!

The cockpit door opened, and Li Er jumped down, landing easily, not even breaking a sweat, looking completely unaffected.

Ma Xiao and the others swallowed hard. It was truly amazing, something an ordinary person couldn't achieve.

At this point, it seemed no one needed to feel discouraged; they were simply not on the same level.

Kanbena's face remained unchanged, but the shock in his heart was only known to himself. This person's familiarity with the mechanical suit was beyond imagination, able to perform a series of high-difficulty actions so effortlessly.

Masas was not surprised; this was his goal for the trip. Those who could make it to that list were all legendary figures.

Li Er Kronos, just a small demonstration.

Li Er's performance was incredibly impressive, boosting the morale of Zeus Academy, but sometimes being too excited was not good. The flying fat guy had excellent scores at the beginning, but in the final shooting round, perhaps too eager to show off, he failed to complete the attack within the specified time and was penalized two minutes, resulting in Zeus Academy's final total score of fifteen minutes.

This was a significant setback, and Apollo Academy fiercely clenched their fists. Although they failed in individual scores, they won in the overall score.

The final showdown was between Kanbena and Li Er, a transition from old to new about to take place.

Kanbena looked at Li Er, but Li Er showed no interest in his current opponent.

Passing by War God Academy, Li Er glanced at Masas, "Tell Victor that Earth is my territory, and he should mind his own business."

Masas smiled slightly, "Senior hopes you have time to visit the moon."

"Defeating him is just a matter of time," Li Er said with a matter-of-fact tone.

Masas did not argue; this was not something that could be resolved through discussion.

Li Er then looked at Meng Tian, "Come back when you're done playing, don't cause trouble."

"Sorry, I don't know you well," Meng Tian responded coldly.

"Such a place will only lower your standards," Li Er said lightly, infuriating the people from War God Academy, but his level was undeniable.

Back in his seat, Li Er gave Luo Fei a cold look. This foolish fat guy almost ruined everything, and Luo Fei shrank back in fear.

"Li Er, be a bit colder to girls. The better you treat them, the less they appreciate it," Yue Jing said gently, handing Li Er a towel.

Li Er didn't take it, looking at Yue Jing, "I hope your method works."

"Don't worry, who understands girls better than girls themselves?"

Yue Jing smiled seductively, all her arrogance gone, now incredibly "kind and gentle."

The final round was War God Academy's turn.

The students still cheered for the home team, determined to hold their ground, no matter what.

The first to go was Ma Xiao, with a score of three minutes and ten seconds, a mid-to-lower performance.

Masas followed, with a score of two minutes and thirty seconds. To be honest, Masas still wasn't fully adapted to Earth's gravity, but that wasn't an excuse. Li Er was exceptional, and Kanbena was indeed one of the best on Earth. Completely ignoring Earth's standards was a bit too much.

The third to go was Meng Tian, with Ye Zisu and other girls forming a beautiful scene, cheering for Meng Tian.

Meng Tian did not disappoint, with a score of two minutes and fifty seconds, enough to make many of his peers sweat. Clearly, Meng Tian was also very skilled in operating the mechanical suit, and elite women could enhance the suit's flexibility, something many male pilots couldn't match.

War God Academy, which had almost given up hope, suddenly saw a glimmer of hope. Due to Luo Fei's mistake, War God Academy had a chance to catch up to Zeus Academy, though catching up to Apollo was out of the question.

All eyes were on Zhang Shan, who felt the pressure. Sometimes, hope was heavier than no hope.

Taking a deep breath, the 007 team was eagerly waiting. Yao Ailun crossed himself, "All the gods, Allah, and God, please bless us. As long as we don't come in last, it's a victory!"

Zhang Shan began to advance with the mechanical suit, but before he had even gone ten meters, he failed to dodge an attack, and the suit stumbled, slowing down. Zhang Shan was clearly anxious, rushing to make up time, but was hit again. Although he completed the attack, his score was six minutes, and the entire venue sighed in disappointment.

Leaving the cockpit, Zhang Shan angrily hit himself.

"Ha, youth always comes with some lessons. That's normal," Adonis smiled. The first three had surprised him, but as long as they made it to the final, Li Er could easily win. Mistakes were truly costly.

War God Academy's current score was thirteen minutes and thirty seconds. The last person would have to complete the task in one minute and thirty seconds, which was impossible.

Back in his seat, Zhang Shan held his head, feeling very depressed. Failing at a critical moment was unbearable, especially for someone as proud as Zhang Shan.

"Ha, is the last one still going to compete?" Jamal laughed. At this point, it didn't really matter.

"Seems like a substitute. If he doesn't want to, it's fine," Adonis said, relieved.

Even clay has a temper, and Gute was also very upset. "You should see, he's the one you're very interested in, Wang Zheng."

"Oh, you mean that physics student?"

"Ha, he's interested in mechanical suits?"

The two principals were actually a bit intrigued.

Zhuo Mu patted Wang Zheng, "You can choose not to compete."

Losing face in front of so many people would not be good for future growth, especially since Wang Zheng hadn't participated in the special training.

"Sir, let me try."

Zhuo Mu nodded, "Go ahead, do your best!"

In the VIP seats, the spectators were also whispering. It was truly a pity, but this was fate. Gute was having a bad year.

Suddenly, a clear voice rang out from the stands, "Wang Zheng, go for it!"

Aina...

The students looked at the stands in surprise, and a journalist took a photo, thinking of a title like "Courage in Despair," after all, she was a beauty.

But... what was she cheering for?

A substitute, at this point, who had the energy?

But another person in the VIP seats stood up, "Wang Zheng, you better do well, or you won't be allowed to audit the mechanical suit class anymore."

Xiao Fei...

Wang Zheng touched his nose, ...what kind of encouragement is this?

Jumping into the mechanical suit, it was similar to the practice suit, but Wang Zheng was still a bit excited, carefully connecting the equipment and trying to move his arms and legs.

Taking a deep breath!

Damn, this is so cool. This is a real mechanical suit, this is life!
