“Then we’ll meet at the arena.” Gao Zhiquan was satisfied with the reply and led the other students away. The arena was a fighting place specially prepared for these military academy students who were competitive, belligerent, and had excess energy. Private fights were not allowed in the academy. If you wanted to challenge someone, you had to go to the arena.
News of any competition would quickly spread throughout the entire academy, and everyone would gather around the arena to watch the spectacle. This time was no exception, and because one of the participants was Luo Lingxing, even more people came to watch, forming layers upon layers that completely enveloped the arena.
If Luo Lingxing were just a celebrity in the entertainment industry, not many students at the military academy would know him. But given that he was Han Junzhan’s partner and holds the rank of lieutenant, many more people would know him.
Moreover, Luo Lingxing entered the class as a transfer student, which aroused the curiosity of many students. As a result, he was challenged on his very first day, which excited many students who wanted to see what kind of ability this legendary young man had to conquer the entire empire’s hero and god, Han Junzhan, and obtain the rank of lieutenant.
Of course, Luo Lingxing was unaware of all this, and even if he did, he probably wouldn’t care.
After finishing her classes for the day, Luo Lingxing and Gao Zhiquan went to the arena, which was already packed with people.
“If you admit defeat and leave the school now, I might spare you this time,” Gao Zhiquan said arrogantly.
Luo Lingxing didn’t bother arguing with him at all. He jumped onto the fighting platform and looked down at Gao Zhiquan. Gao Zhiquan clenched his fists, enraged by Luo Lingxing’s attitude. He jumped up as well and shouted, “Hmph, since you’re so ungrateful, I’ll show you the level of mecha expertise. It’s definitely not something a temporary transfer student like you can get into.”
“Enough with the nonsense,” Luo Lingxing said impatiently. Even with his mild temper, he was getting a little annoyed by someone who kept provoking him.
Gao Zhiquan’s anger flared up after being choked, and without saying anything more, he took out his mecha, a mecha that was covered in black light and gave people a sense of menace just by standing there.
“Wow, it’s a mecha battle? I guess I made the right choice coming here. This is going to be a good show!” an excited student watching from the sidelines exclaimed.
“I thought it was a hand-to-hand combat game. Mecha battles are the most interesting, haha.”
“That Luo Lingxing is going to be in trouble now. I didn’t expect him to be a transfer student. It’s been so long since our school has had a transfer student.” Another classmate sighed.
“Although we’re in the regular mecha class, Gao Zhiquan is considered one of the best in our class. Now, that Luo Lingxing is probably going to have to slink out of school with his tail between his legs,” a classmate from the mecha class said gleefully.
“I heard he’s quite popular online. I wonder if his fans will be disappointed when the news of his loss gets online,” another person said maliciously.
“You’re so wicked, actually having such an idea, but it seems pretty good.”
“Haha…” Several classmates around who heard this couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Military academy students had this kind of personality. They valued strength above all else. If your strength was insufficient to convince them, you might be ostracized or even treated maliciously. However, if your strength was enough to conquer them, their attitude towards you would immediately change completely. The difference before and after would make you think they had a split personality.
Luo Lingxing was currently in a situation where he was not recognized or even favored. In addition, he was a transfer student who entered through “backdoor” channels, which goes against the wishes of all the military academy students, so naturally everyone was not friendly to Luo Lingxing.
“Alright, you can take out your mecha now.” Gao Zhiquan affectionately touched his mecha, which was his best partner at school. It had accompanied him in countless battles, and even the top-performing mecha students dared not easily face him.
Therefore, Gao Zhiquan was determined to win this competition.
Luo Lingxing stared at Gao Zhiquan’s black mecha, slightly stunned, because he suddenly realized that Junzhan hadn’t equipped him with a mecha when he brought him here, something he hadn’t thought of before.
Although Luo Lingxing had been exposed to mechas before, it was only to learn the movements. He didn’t even meet the requirements for piloting one. By the time he met the requirements, he was busy with other things and didn’t have a proper chance to practice with mechas. In addition, the school would provide him with a mecha when he practiced at school, and Han Junzhan was not comfortable letting Luo Lingxing practice alone when he wasn’t around. Therefore, Han Junzhan thought it would be better to provide him with a mecha after he had studied for a while.
But who would have thought that he would be challenged on his very first day of school?
“Are you scared? If you admit defeat now, I might spare you.” Gao Zhiquan, seeing that Luo Lingxing was hesitant to take out his mecha, assumed that the other party was afraid and laughed loudly. The crowd of onlookers below were also puzzled by Luo Lingxing’s behavior, and all sorts of guesses were being made.
Luo Lingxing quickly snapped out of his reverie, his hand involuntarily touching his chest. A hard sensation made him suddenly remember that even though Junzhan hadn’t prepared a mecha for him, he still had one—the one his fourth brother had given him. Because he rarely used it, he had almost forgotten about it.
Luo Lingxing ignored Gao Zhiquan’s sarcasm and took the mecha out of the space button.
However, when the mecha appeared on the fighting stage from the space button, the entire audience couldn’t help but gasp. Even Gao Zhiquan on the stage wanted to keep his eyes glued to the mecha.
“Oh my god, isn’t that… isn’t that the latest intelligent mech?” “How could he possibly have that?”
“Wow, I’ve only ever seen smart mechas online. I never thought I’d actually see one in real life. It’s amazing!”
“As expected of the latest intelligent mecha, it’s so beautiful. Just looking at it gives you a sense of awe.”
“Tsk tsk… It’s not surprising that he would have one. Have you all forgotten who developed the intelligent mechas?” one student couldn’t help but say.
After being reminded by this classmate, everyone suddenly realized that in addition to being Han Junzhan’s partner and a lieutenant, Luo Lingxing was also a child of the Luo family, and the researcher of the intelligent mecha was none other than Luo Bingxu, the genius fourth young master of the Luo family.
“Tsk tsk… This competition is unnecessary. Using intelligent mechs against ordinary mechs, everyone knows who will win in the end.”
“I never expected him to have an intelligent mecha. I thought we were going to see a good show.”
“It’s a real pity. Gao Zhiquan’s mecha skills were quite good, but it was all ruined by his mecha. The gap in mecha technology was too big, which affected his strength.”
“This is so unfair! If we’re going to have a competition, we should choose mechas of similar levels so that we can determine who has the better piloting skills,” a classmate couldn’t help but say, speaking up for Gao Zhiquan.
“Mechas are a form of strength in themselves. If a mecha can’t beat someone else’s, it’s normal to lose,” another student said.
The people below were buzzing with discussion. At first, they didn’t think highly of Luo Lingxing and thought Gao Zhiquan could easily defeat him. But after Luo Lingxing took out his intelligent mecha, they all changed their minds and felt that Luo Lingxing was definitely going to win. As long as he wasn’t a beginner, he could completely defeat Gao Zhiquan with the superior performance of his mecha alone. This was an insurmountable gap between ordinary mechas and intelligent mechas.
Gao Zhiquan’s expression changed after Luo Lingxing took out the mecha. He was well aware of what the onlookers were saying, which made him even more unwilling. Winning by the difference in mecha made him unable to accept Luo Lingxing, and his impression of him worsened.
However, Gao Zhiquan didn’t say anything more. Instead, he went straight into the mecha. His attitude was clear. He wanted to continue the competition. Even though he knew he would lose to the opponent’s mecha, he absolutely refused to give up without a fight!
Luo Lingxing was unaware of all these intricacies. He simply felt that the mecha his fourth brother had given him was a lifesaver, otherwise he wouldn’t know how to proceed with the competition.
Luo Lingxing also entered the mecha. This was the first time he had been alone in the mecha without Han Junzhan’s guidance and company, which made him feel a little uncomfortable at first.
However, Han Junzhan had previously taught him how to use the mecha for actions and combat. Although he hadn’t practiced or put it into practice, he had memorized all the buttons. It’s just that…
Luo Lingxing looked at the buttons inside the mecha. They seemed a bit different from the buttons in Han Junzhan’s mecha in his memory. There seemed to be a lot fewer of them.
Luo Lingxing, who was already a novice, was even more confused at this moment. However, since he had already accepted the challenge, he could only adapt to the new mecha as quickly as possible. The first thing he needed to do was to confirm what each button corresponded to.
Therefore, Luo Lingxing completely ignored Gao Zhiquan on the other side, quickly pressed every button in the mecha with both hands, and compared it with the button functions he had memorized before, quickly memorizing the button functions of this mecha.
Luo Lingxing was engrossed in memorizing inside, while the group of people outside were dumbfounded.
Because, in their eyes, the intelligent mecha on the stage seemed to be there to make a joke, stretching its arms, kicking its legs, taking a few steps, squatting down, doing simple and ordinary actions that were so unbelievable that it was an insult to the opponent.
Gao Zhiquan stood opposite him, his hands clenched into fists, his eyes practically spitting fire.
“Luo Lingxing, I will make you pay for your actions!” Gao Zhiquan finally couldn’t hold back any longer, activated his mecha, and ran towards Luo Lingxing. The battle officially began.
Luo Lingxing wasn’t familiar with all the functions of these buttons yet, but he had experimented with most of them. Although he wasn’t proficient in the basic movements, he could barely manage to use the dodging movements.
And so, this scene unfolded on stage.
Gao Zhiquan piloted his black mecha and kept attacking Luo Lingxing. However, Luo Lingxing’s intelligent mecha could only dodge the attacks, and was even hit by Gao Zhiquan’s mecha occasionally. However, because the intelligent mecha had such good defensive capabilities, it didn’t have much of an impact even if it was hit.
“What’s going on?” Why is Luo Lingxing only dodging and not fighting back?”” I also want to see the intelligent mech’s skills.””
“Luo Lingxing’s movements are very clumsy. Could it be that he doesn’t know how to pilot a mecha at all?” a classmate couldn’t help but speculate.
