Chapter 52 Sun Donglai is terrifyingly strong
"How can a man admit he can't get an erection?"
Inside the Tiger-type mech, Wang Xing's eyes were calm and indifferent.
Faced with Lin Xiaoxiao's hallucinogenic powder that was impossible to defend against, he had no intention of giving her any chance to use it again.
His blood and energy instantly twisted into a spiral, causing the ground beneath his feet to crack. He used the sixth move of "Tiger Walks Through Nine Mountains," "Tiger Retreats Through a Thousand Mountains," in reverse, turning it into an extreme burst of power.
He was like a cannonball, instantly piercing through the pale purple mist, and with an extremely domineering posture, he stuck the pink and white Phantom Butterfly mech to his back.
There was no pity for the woman, nor the slightest hesitation.
Wang Xing's Tiger Mech's mechanical arm locked the opponent's joints, and using the mech's torque, executed a clean and decisive back throw—
"BOOM!!!"
With a deafening crash, the Phantom Butterfly mech was slammed onto the alloy arena, the metallic clang deafening.
The light patterns on the butterfly wings dimmed instantly, and wisps of blue smoke rose from inside the machine, indicating that the power core had temporarily shut down.
"Wang Xing wins in Zone D!" the referee announced immediately.
The entire room fell silent.
Then came a series of gasps of shock.
"Holy crap, that's brutal!"
"That's Lin Xiaoxiao, the class beauty from the regular class! This Wang Xing... he actually did that?"
"What a ruthless destroyer! He's the epitome of a clueless straight man!"
"One move, just one move! Wang Xing didn't even draw his sword!"
Many boys looked at Wang Xing with a mixture of respect and fear. After all, the other party was a beautiful woman, but Wang Xing was ruthless in his attacks. This cold-blooded fighting style sent chills down people's spines.
Ignoring the surrounding chatter, Wang Xing calmly jumped out of the mecha cockpit.
What a joke! On a real battlefield, gender is never a get-out-of-jail-free card.
……
"Bareest Area Arena, Raymond from Yuanpei Class 1 wins! Time: 58 seconds!"
Suddenly, a loudspeaker blared from the other end, instantly drawing everyone's attention.
"Liu Xing... got killed instantly?"
"Wasn't Raymond third on the leaderboard? How come he seems so much stronger than before?"
"Look at his mech! The shoulder and chest armor of the Bear-type mech have been replaced with new 'Iron Wall' composite armor plates specially supplied by the military! Its defensive capabilities and impact resistance have increased dramatically!"
Wang Xing turned his head and saw that Raymond's Bear Mech was slowly retracting its fists, and in front of him lay a beast-armored mech that had already transformed.
That was Liu Xing from the Yuanpei Class, a top student ranked in the top ten of the list, and definitely not someone to be underestimated.
With a health rating of 7.6 and a mech rating of 7.8, his [Silver Wolf Mech] was renowned for its speed and claw attacks, making him a formidable figure in the Yuanpei Class. Surprisingly, Raymond defeated him in just one minute.
Moreover, Wang Xing noticed that Raymond had clearly learned from his defeat by Wang Tai'an during this period. In battle, he no longer attacked relentlessly, but instead used more steady blocking and deflection.
His Bear Mech searches for weaknesses in defense, and once it finds an opening in the opponent's defense, it launches a thunderous counterattack, swift and decisive, without any hesitation.
"The Great Wild Bear's strength should not be underestimated." Wang Xing smiled, feeling happy for Raymond.
Many of the teachers watching the match nodded in approval, their eyes filled with satisfaction: "Raymond has finally learned the art of 'accumulating strength before unleashing it'. His A-level defensive martial arts technique has actually reached the point of mastery."
……
Wang Xing stepped off the D-zone arena and glanced at the other battlefields.
On the arena in Zone C, Bai Lingxue's opponent was a level 7.5 [Gale Leopard Mech], known for its speed, but it couldn't even last three moves against Bai Lingxue's silver-white [White Tiger Wing Mech].
The White Tiger mech wields a long white tiger spear. Wherever the spearhead passes, fine ice crystals condense in the air. The opponent's movements become slower and slower, and finally, he is sent flying by a single spear thrust, frozen in mid-air.
Bai Lingxue wins! Advances to the round of 16!
Meanwhile, on the B-zone arena, Lü Mufei's Shadow GT mech was locked in combat with a Thunderbird mech. The Thunderbird mech was known for its long-range lightning attacks, constantly releasing arcs of electricity in an attempt to restrict Lü Mufei's movement.
But the speed of the Chiying GT was too fast. In its vehicle mode, it left afterimages on the arena and kept getting closer... Finally, Lü Mufei seized an opening, transformed her mecha into human form, and delivered an elbow strike to Thunderbird's chest, sending it flying.
"Lu Mufei wins!"
Wang Xing, who was watching the game, nodded.
Both girls are steadily improving their skills.
Just then, the broadcast started again:
"D Zone Arena, Wang Xing from Class 1 of Yuanpei School versus Cheng Kai from Class 4 of Parallel School!"
Wang Xing paused, then revealed a meaningful smile.
Cheng Kai.
"What a small world! I never expected to run into you here."
Wang Xing greeted him with a smile, his tone relaxed as if they were catching up.
Cheng Kai stood on the arena, looking at the dark gold Tiger mech in front of him, feeling both unwilling and complicated emotions.
Once upon a time, they were close competitors, but now they are separated by an insurmountable chasm.
"Wang Xing, I've been waiting for this battle for a long time."
Cheng Kai gritted his teeth, revealed his Kai King mecha, and his fighting spirit was boiling.
Two minutes later.
"Brother Xing, I was just joking..." Cheng Kai said with a bitter expression, looking at the tiger-striped battle blade that was only a few millimeters above his head, and he trembled all over.
"Oh, this..."
Wang Xing smiled and sheathed his sword: "I still prefer your arrogant attitude just now."
"Forget it, I'm not a masochist." Cheng Kai waved his hand.
"On the battlefield, the enemy won't care about friendships." Wang Xing patted his shoulder, then turned and walked off the stage.
Cheng Kai watched his retreating figure, shook his head, and muttered to himself, "But you really need to be careful... I feel like your opponent might not be Bai Lingxue. That Wild Bear guy... is a bit too strong."
…………
The pace of the game noticeably quickened in the following matches.
Raymond defeated several opponents in a row on ring number three.
His Bear Mech is a perfect blend of offense and defense. Its newly upgraded Iron Wall Armor makes him almost immune to attacks from opponents of the same level, and his two alloy iron fists, as big as casserole dishes, carry immense force with every strike.
His opponents were either sent flying by a single punch, or, under his strong defense, their attacks were fruitless for a long time before they were finally killed with a single blow.
"Raymond wins! Advances to the semifinals!"
When the referee announced that Raymond had become the first player to advance to the semifinals, the entire arena erupted in thunderous applause.
Wang Xing sat in the waiting area, his gaze fixed on Raymond, and he nodded to himself.
Raymond has changed a lot during this period. He has transformed from a reckless man who only knew how to fight head-on into a hunter who knows how to be patient, build up his strength, and strike a fatal blow.
Of course, when facing an opponent with a significant skill gap, he will still choose the most efficient quick attack to end the battle quickly.
"It seems that Big Wild Bear has really gotten back on the right track." Wang Xing smiled.
However, just as he was about to close his eyes and rest, awaiting the next battle, a voice suddenly came over the loudspeaker that startled him:
"Second Arena, Raymond from Class 1 of Yuanpei High School versus Sun Donglai from Class 13 of Parallel School!"
"Um?!"
Wang Xing's heart skipped a beat. Sun Donglai?
He looked up and saw a figure leap onto the stage. It was a boy wearing a black hoodie, the brim of which was pulled down very low, covering most of his face, revealing only a pale chin, as if he wanted to hide himself in the darkness.
Sun Donglai.
Wang Xing hadn't seen him this close in a long time.
The chubby boy who used to follow behind him, whose eyes narrowed into slits when he smiled, is now so thin he's unrecognizable. His oversized hoodie hangs loosely on his body, making him look like a walking skeleton.
"Sun Donglai?" Raymond stood on the other side of the arena, his body covered in the Bear Mech Armor. His voice carried a hint of surprise. "A student from a regular class... to actually make it into the top four, you're quite remarkable."
Sun Donglai didn't look up. A calm, almost indifferent voice came from under the black brim of his hat: "As long as I defeat you, I can advance to the finals to face Wang Xing."
"Wang Xing?"
Raymond shook his head: "His opponent is me."
"hehe."
Sun Donglai murmured softly, "In this school, the only one worthy of being Wang Xing's opponent is me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his head, and his eyes, which peeked out from the shadow of his hat brim, had an unnatural crimson hue.
"Click, click..."
Accompanied by a tooth-grinding metallic tearing sound, an extremely bizarre mecha appeared before everyone's eyes.
It was a jet-black tortoise-shaped mech, seemingly pieced together from countless bones. Most terrifyingly, its shoulder armor was inlaid with sharp, white, bone-cracking canine teeth, its back was covered with rows of bone spikes like scalpels, and a long scorpion tail trailed behind the mech.
He had no weapon in his hand, but six broken mecha blades, each over 30 centimeters long, protruded from between his index fingers, like ordinary Wolverine claws, cold and sharp.
The entire mech exuded a strong aura of evil, as if it were a monster that had crawled out of the deepest abyss, completely out of place with the bright and shiny standard mechs around it.
The entire audience erupted in uproar!
"Distorted modification?!" The teachers in the audience exclaimed in surprise.
In the previous battle, Sun Donglai did not activate the full state of the mecha; the bone spikes on his back and the scorpion tail were not displayed.
Facing the formidable opponent Raymond in the semifinals, Sun Donglai finally unleashed the full power of his mecha.
Raymond's expression instantly turned serious; he could sense the dangerous aura emanating from the mecha.
"Bear, Iron Wall Defense!"
Without any hesitation, Raymond activated his A-level defensive martial art, and a thick phantom of a raging bear enveloped his entire body, forming a heavy defensive barrier.
Shen Shuang's eyes lit up as she watched from the sidelines. Raymond's defensive martial arts were clearly perfected, with energy flowing smoothly and without any flaws.
A female teacher next to him nodded in approval: "Teacher Shen teaches well. Raymond has finally realized that defense is the foundation of heavy mechs."
"That's right, even if Sun Donglai made mutated modifications, it's still impossible to break through Raymond's Great Perfection-level Iron Wall..."
However, before the female teacher could finish speaking, the situation on the stage changed dramatically!
"Sizzle—!"
The black blade between Sun Donglai's mecha fingers tore through Raymond's energy shield as easily as cutting tofu!
The five wolf claws continued their momentum, gripping the chest armor of the Bear Mech and leaving five deep, bone-revealing, ferocious cracks!
"What?!"
The entire audience was shocked.
Raymond was utterly shocked. His prized defense hadn't even lasted a second?!
He quickly retreated, trying to create distance and regroup.
But Sun Donglai's offensive was like a leech, giving him no chance to breathe.
The mutated Xuan Turtle Mech's scorpion tail suddenly lashed out, its tail hook piercing the throat of the Berserker Bear Mech with a whooshing sound!
Raymond dodged to the side, the scorpion tail grazing his shoulder armor, sending sparks flying. But the Xuan Turtle mech had already closed in, its bone spikes on its shoulders slamming into the Bear Mech's abdomen like battering rams!
"boom!"
Raymond's mech flew backward and crashed heavily onto the edge of the arena. The chest and abdominal armor were shattered, and the mech itself was violently shaken. A trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
Sun Donglai did not stop.
His mutated Xuan Turtle mech leaped high into the air, its ten claws gleaming with cold light as it viciously clawed down at Raymond's head—if this strike landed, Raymond would be severely injured even if he didn't die!
"stop!"
Lu Yun, who was in charge of the rescue, changed his expression drastically and rushed onto the arena almost instantly. The powerful mech held off Sun Donglai's attack and forcefully deflected the claws that were powerful enough to pierce through the bear mech!
The medical team's emergency responders rushed onto the ring and dragged Raymond out.
After the examination, the medical staff breathed a sigh of relief: "The mecha has external injuries, with scratches on its arms and abdomen, but the main body has no fatal wounds and can be treated."
The entire room fell silent.
Everyone was shocked by Sun Donglai's ferocity.
That's too brutal! That's too violent!
If Lü Yun hadn't intervened in time, Sun Donglai's claw attack could very well have severely injured Raymond, or even... killed him!
Lu Yun stood on the arena, his military green mecha radiating a heavy aura, and he stared coldly at Sun Donglai:
"Sun Donglai, we're just exchanging pointers, it's a friendly competition, why did you do this?"
Sun Donglai slowly deactivated his mecha, revealing his somewhat gaunt face. His expression was cold as he said indifferently:
"He was too weak; I didn't expect that."
After saying this, Sun Donglai lowered the brim of his hat, turned around, and stepped off the stage.
Wang Xing, sitting in the audience, remained silent.
He looked at Raymond being carried onto the stretcher, then at the direction Sun Donglai had left in, and shook his head helplessly.
"Da Ye Xiong is injured... He's probably furious. He trained for so long, and he was still taken down in one move. Now it's hard to say whether he can even participate in the Hundred Schools Competition."
At the same time, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a look of seriousness flashed deep in his pupils.
The improvements Sun Donglai has made due to the aberration modifications during this period have been enormous. That Xuan Turtle mech has now transformed into an abyssal monster disguised as a human.
What exactly happened to Sun Donglai during this time? The key point is that not only did his mecha change, but his entire demeanor also changed...
Before Wang Xing could investigate further, the broadcast started again:
"Ring 6, Bai Lingxue from Class 1 of Yuanpei College vs. Lü Mufei from Class 1 of Yuanpei College."
Wang Xing's gaze was instantly drawn to it.
The winner of these two matches will advance to the quarterfinals.
And their opponents in the quarterfinals...
it's him.
