Before the signing event, Luo Lingxing had another month of rest. So Luo Lingxing decided to go to the military district and continue training during this time.
The Power of Faith he absorbed during the concerto was almost all converted into spiritual energy inside his body. Although his realm hadn’t loosened yet, if he worked a little harder, he might be able to break through.
As long as he could break through this realm, his physique would level up to Grade B as well. Then, he’d be able to practice mecha skills.
So Luo Lingxing prepared to ascend during this time. It was better if he trained his body more. He could also use this chance to learn more mecha knowledge.
At the military district, besides occasionally instructing those soldiers who were practicing high level techniques and practicing basic moves, Luo Lingxing had Han Junzhan teach him mecha knowledge.
“Luoluo, take a look at these buttons first. They’re used for different things. These control the hands, and these control the legs…” Han Junzhan showed Luo Lingxing as he pressed the buttons to help Luo Lingxing understand.
When Zhang Haitao and his partner entered the mecha training room, they witnessed this novice maneuver, as if someone had brought their child to work.
“Is a newbie practicing mecha?” Zhang Haitao frowned as he asked the person beside him.
Although this place was designated to practice using mecha, there were still some requirements. One had to at least be over Grade One to be able to enter this place to practice, since the mecha masters would often find others to practice with. Newbies might encounter danger if they practice here, which was why they weren’t allowed here.
Grade 1 mecha masters were the lowest grade, but they weren’t newbies either. Since if you wanted a mecha master certification, you needed to master the basic movements first or else you could only be called a novice.
These basic movements meant you could operate the mecha to walk, run, jump, and even squat. They need to at the very least show that they know the basic controls of the mecha. The mecha in front of him right now moved very stiffly. It showed that they couldn’t be a mecha master.
“No way. Is there a newbie here?” Zhang Haitao asked the person beside him in shock.
The military district was the strictest place and didn’t allow newbies to practice here. Most importantly, there shouldn’t be any newbies in the military district at all. All those that joined the military district were at least first class mecha masters, and if they didn’t have the physical requirements, then they wouldn’t practice the mecha.
“The Major General is accompanying young master Luo to learn the mecha,” a soldier training inside replied.
“It’s young master Luo?” When the previous soldier heard it was Luo Lingxing, his eyes gleamed, but he frowned soon after. “But didn’t I hear that he only has a Grade C physique?” How could he learn the mecha?
“There won’t be a problem with the Major General there,” that person replied. However, his gaze was like looking at a toddler. Although he couldn’t see Luo Lingxing, who was inside, his eyes were still full of adoration.
“We should go practice too,” Zhang Haitao said to his companion. He then glanced at the swaying mecha with a trace of admiration and respect in his eyes.
It was a rare chance to be able to meet Major General Han and young master Luo here. Although he couldn’t give his greeting to them, if he could show them his mecha proficiency, then it might leave a bit of an impression on them.
Thinking like this, Zhang Haitao became excited.
He wasn’t the only one who thought like this. Several soldiers who came with him also took out their mechas to practice.
Luo Lingxing was attentively listening to Han Junzhan’s explanation of Mecha. He would occasionally try things himself as well, such as moving the arms and legs. As long as the mecha didn’t move forward, even if he only had a Grade C physique, there wouldn’t be any danger. Moreover, Luo Lingxing had spiritual energy to protect him.
Luo Lingxing’s attention was entirely focused on the mecha, but Han Junzhan was paying attention to the surrounding movements. Several more mechas had appeared around them at some point, but that wasn’t the point. There were other trainees in the practice room besides them, but they were all far away from him. However, these few people kept lingering around them, even making some fancy but impractical moves. Their purpose was obvious.
Han Junzhan’s lips curled up slightly, revealing a wicked smile.
“Luoluo, you’ve been in the mecha for quite a while today. Staying any longer isn’t good for your health. Why don’t you watch me practice with the others?” Han Junzhan suddenly said to Luo Lingxing. <Google Translate v2>
Luo Lingxing glanced at the time on the terminal and saw that two hours had already passed. He nodded and said, “Okay.”
Han Junzhan maneuvered the mecha to place Luo Lingxing on a viewing platform, then skillfully maneuvered the mecha toward Zhang Haitao and, without a word, threw him over his shoulder.
Zhang Haitao was a little dazed by the fall. He had been lingering around the Major General’s mecha, hoping that young master Luo would notice him and leave even the slightest impression. But the Major General took young master Luo to the stands and then quickly ran back towards him. Before he could react, he was thrown over his shoulder.
However, Zhang Haitao quickly regained his composure, stood up, and assumed a fighting stance.
It was normal for people to spar with each other in the practice room. Some people might be practicing when someone challenged them, and then the two mechas would end up fighting.
Zhang Haitao had seen the major general spar with others before, but this was the first time he had personally faced the major general, which made him quite excited.
He was currently a Grade Three mecha pilot, which was already considered one of the best in the legion. However, the Major General is already a Grade Five mecha pilot. Although Grade Five mecha pilots were not uncommon in the Empire, it was extremely rare for a Major General to reach this level at his age. That was why Han Junzhan has become an idol for countless young people in the Empire.
Logically speaking, Zhang Haitao had no chance of winning against a major general. However, as a soldier, he would never give up without a fight when faced with a challenge. So even if he knew he would lose, he would still go for it. Moreover, he could learn a lot of useful experience from fighting against someone stronger than himself.
Of course, under normal circumstances, people of lower levels would challenge those of higher levels in order to gain practical experience, but no one would bully those of lower levels, since it would be very unfair to the lower-level person. However, today is an exception.
After seeing someone spar with Han Junzhan, the people in the practice room all stopped practicing and gathered around to watch this rare sparring match.
Because Han Junzhan was of a relatively high level, few people dared to challenge him, so the opportunity to see him spar was rare.
However, this match wasn’t as exciting as Han Junzhan’s usual matches, because Han Junzhan almost completely crushed Zhang Haitao. Nevertheless, everyone watched with great interest, especially Luo Lingxing.
Luo Lingxing had occasionally seen other people sparring with mechas before, but how could those people’s mecha skills compare to Han Junzhan’s? Those he had seen before were Grade One mecha pilots fighters, and they were only slightly better than novices. But even so, Luo Lingxing was still deeply impressed by those mechas.
This was the first time he’d seen Han Junzhan pilot a mecha in combat. His dazzling moves and fluid movements were a visual feast, an effect that no other sparring match could achieve. If the opponent hadn’t been so weak, the sparring match would have been even more exciting.
No wonder many people said that even just watching masters spar was a feast for the eyes.
This was the first time Luo Lingxing had ever seen a mecha like this. Despite being such a tall and seemingly bulky thing, it could move as nimbly as a human. After Han Junzhan had explained the basics to him, he learned that these things were formed by manually controlling those buttons and combining them.
In other words, to make the mecha’s movements smooth and skillful, you must increase your hand speed. Only when your hand speed increased could those combined movements become smoother.
To make the mecha move as you want, you must be familiar with the location of the buttons, so that you can accurately find the buttons even with your eyes closed, and memorize the button combinations required for each action.
In short, piloting a mecha required not only a strong body, but also a strong memory and super-fast hand speed. Zhang Haitao had no idea what the people outside were thinking. He just wanted to end this one-sided beating as soon as possible. Even though he was already a Grade Three mecha pilot, he had no ability to fight back against a major general.
Moreover, even a mecha pilot of the same rank as a major general might not be able to defeat him (HJZ), so it was even less likely for him(ZHT) to do so. His previous eagerness to try was incredibly foolish.
In the past, Han Junzhan might have stopped long ago, but now he was in high spirits, especially when he saw Luo Lingxing’s bright eyes out of the corner of his eye. His movements became faster and more flamboyant than before.
This guy actually dared to show off his fancy moves in front of him to attract Luoluo. He was practically asking for trouble. His moves were not only fancy but also practical. In fact, this kid’s flashy but impractical moves couldn’t compare. If Luoluo had to choose, he would definitely choose him.
If Zhang Haitao knew what Han Junzhan was thinking at this moment, he would definitely cry out that he was wronged. He just wanted to leave a little impression on Young Master Luo and hoped that when Young Master Luo came to teach him in the future, he could give him more guidance. But he dared to swear to god that he really had no other ill intentions towards Young Master Luo.
Luo Lingxing was unaware of the two men’s thoughts. He only knew that this one-sided crushing victory made him even more eager for mechas. He couldn’t wait to upgrade and start real mecha training. The simple trial that Han Junzhan had given him before was no longer enough to satisfy him.
