Capítulo 1712: Chapter 542: The Beginning_6
Vice City Lord Medot delivered a sarcastic comment.
“Hmph.”
With a cold snort, Jikol decided against quarreling with Vice City Lord Medot.
Shortly after, the tournament round reducing teams from sixteen to eight kicked off.
The female announcer pulled the first team for the match, and by chance or misfortune!
Novlin got selected once more as the opener.
“Kicking things off is the Holy Army—can Novlin pull off yet another miracle?”
The female host declared with enthusiasm.
At that point, Su Ming, piloting the Gun Knight, glanced upward and spoke to Novlin and Hokas.
“Our turn now, let's head out!”
“Got it!”
Novlin and Hokas maneuvered their mechas down from the platform.
The trio guided their mechas to the arena's left flank, bracing for combat.
Then Hokas activated the team comms channel and grinned while asking Su Ming.
“Su Ming, feeling comfortable with the controls?”
“Doubting my abilities?”
Su Ming responded smilingly.
“Not doubting you at all, just a little worried. We're in Third Generation Mechas, no Super Neural Device, pure manual handling. I know plenty of Federation aces begin with Fourth Generation Mechas.”
Hokas clarified straightforwardly.
Upon hearing this, Novlin hurriedly told Su Ming.
“Su Ming, if it's too tough, we can just concede.”
She recognized Su Ming's prowess, yet the gap between manual piloting and super neural linking remained vast.
“No worries, I started with the simplest mechas, so don't fret. Just go all out.”
Su Ming reassured her with a grin.
“Excellent, now I get to witness a Federation General's power up close.”
Hokas expressed eagerly.
Right then, Su Ming's rivals were revealed.
The audience exploded into wild cheers once more.
“Deeri!”
Su Ming lifted his gaze and noted their matchup against the Heart Devouring Association.
Just then, Deeri piloted the Ghost Tooth Mecha, accompanied by four underlings, advancing toward them. Spotting Su Ming's squad with merely three mechas, he burst into laughter and boasted.
“Only three mechas? Victory is ours for sure!”
“Oh really? How frightening!”
Hokas quipped playfully.
“Better surrender now, or don't cry when we show no mercy!”
Deeri threatened with a wicked chuckle.
“I'd say yes, but my teammates don't seem to!”
Hokas swiveled his mecha toward Su Ming, winking as he said it.
“Disagree? I'll pummel you till you do!”
Deeri shot back with icy laughter.
Su Ming spoke to Novlin and Hokas in mild exasperation.
“Take on one each, I'll deal with Deeri and those two beside him.”
“Handling three at once?”
Hokas queried, visibly stunned.
“Any issue?”
Su Ming inquired casually.
“None whatsoever—you're just too badass!”
Hokas praised admiringly.
The announcer officially declared.
“Match starts now!”
Deeri revved the Ghost Tooth Mecha to maximum output, hurtling straight at Su Ming.
Without a second thought, Su Ming directed the Gun Knight to clash directly.
“Perish!”
Deeri slashed fiercely with both Light Swords at Su Ming.
Su Ming immediately discerned Deeri’s assault path, maneuvering the Gun Knight to dodge precisely and counter-thrusting the spear toward the Ghost Tooth.
Deeri jolted in alarm, instantly deploying the Energy Barrier.
Crack!
The crimson spear slammed into the Energy Barrier.
The barrier trembled intensely throughout.
Deeri whipped his right arm in a brutal horizontal sweep at Su Ming.
Su Ming adroitly leaped backward to avoid it, then surged ahead abruptly, spearing right through the Energy Barrier.
Before Deeri could respond, the barrier exploded; his eyes bulged as peril dawned on him, and he desperately swung the Light Sword at Su Ming.
Su Ming retracted the spear and applied a Vibrate Spear technique to parry Deeri’s Light Sword.
“Brother, backup incoming!”
A Beast Mecha barreled from behind the Ghost Tooth, lunging their way.
Su Ming commanded the Gun Knight to unleash a powerful kick squarely into the Ghost Tooth Mecha's chest!
The Ghost Tooth Mecha soared backward through the air.
The Beast Mecha extended arms to grab Deeri mid-flight.
Su Ming piloted the Gun Knight to exploit the moment, thrusting the spear that skewered the Ghost Tooth Mecha's power core and punctured the Beast Mecha's frame, eliminating both in one strike.
The stadium erupted in狂热.
“Amazing!”
“Unbelievable!”
…..
Up in the primary spectator area.
Gufu rose to his feet, furious as he demanded.
“What in the world?”
Nearby, Otaine showed surprise too, his face twitching slightly as he questioned.
“Jikol, never expected your underling to be this capable?”
“You flatter me.”
Jikol replied humbly.
Yet inwardly, shock gripped him—he hadn't known of such a formidable expert in his ranks.
Yet another Beast Mecha barreled toward Su Ming, swinging its Alloy Giant Blade with savage force.
Su Ming yanked back his spear nimbly, directing the mecha to retreat and dodge the blow with ease!
The Gun Knight touched down, and Su Ming instantly flexed the mecha's chassis, surging ahead with explosive force to impale the Beast with his spear.
In panic, the Beast Mecha triggered its Energy Barrier.
Crack!
Power surged through Su Ming's spear as he smashed into the Energy Barrier, twisting the entire shield in wild distortion.
The Beast Mecha desperately swung its Alloy Giant Blade at Su Ming.
With agile control, Su Ming evaded using the Gun Knight, then fired a point-blank Beam Cannon.
Boom!
The Beast Mecha's Energy Barrier exploded into fragments.
Su Ming capitalized instantly, lunging forward to stab with his spear once more!
Crack!
The third mecha fell in a swift, pinpoint takedown.
With that done, Su Ming glanced toward Novlin and Hokas, who remained locked in combat. It was only natural.
The battle had barely kicked off, after all.
Su Ming swiftly piloted the Gun Knight, dashing rapidly toward the Beast Mecha clashing with Novlin.
“I surrender!”
The leftover two Beast Mechas yelled out in horror.
Su Ming halted the Gun Knight abruptly, seeming a bit forlorn since he hadn't even gotten properly warmed up.
Novlin and Hokas gaped at Su Ming, their expressions brimming with disbelief.
“You dealt with them so quickly?”
“Not too bad, just took a little time.”
Su Ming replied calmly.
“I finally understand that hard work is nothing compared to talent, geniuses indeed!”
Hokas exclaimed, overcome with feeling.
The host chimed in excitedly, proclaiming with glee.
“The Holy Army wins!”
The audience burst into frenzied roars of approval.
“Wow!”
“Awesome!”
“So cool!”
…..
Su Ming and his teammates left the arena afterward, returning to their resting area.
