Shock!
That was the only word that came to their minds when they recalled the scene from a few minutes ago. Jack had thrown the enemy over his shoulder with a simple execution, and then he directly ttened the head of the enemy mech with his punches, leaving the mecha useless. Then he simply probed open the cockpit by scattering the nanobots over it, and plucked the opponent out.
The mecha was unable to be operated and this was a forfeit on the Feline system team’s part. Arianta, as the host woke up first and said, “Whoa, that was quick. Let us see what do ourmentators have to say. Miss Xenon, can you tell us why did the Feline Mecha stopped reacting after the head blows?”
Miss Xenon and Loweasky Shunta were give a room to sit, andment. Xenon replied with a calm expression, “The Terran contender simply used brute force to render the visual system of the Feline system useless. This led to immobility and then defeat.”
Her meaning was simple, and the people understood this quickly. No one was not aware of the visual system that was just mentioned.
Arianta nced at Loweasky Shunta and asked, “Sir, what do you have to say about this?”
The man replied in a slightly hoarse voice, “I am shocked on how they applied this technique in mecha battles. The weight and centre of gravity are all different, yet the throw was beautifully executed and the follow up punches. Just impable.”
Arianta could not help but reply, “Such a high praise from you two is making me look forward to the next round.”
…
Shi Lang watched Jack control the mecha to move back and he said, “Good job.”
Jack nodded slowly but did not say much. The gctic council staff cleaned up the battle field and the host spoke, “Okay, we are ready for the second round, let’s call over our next contenders. The rooster says, that the Terran contender is called Sword, while the Feline contender is called Thunder Sabre. What a coincidence, we have a sword fight.”
The crowd erupted in cheers. While everyone in the team wished Steel with ‘Godspeed’ as he walked ahead. They might have won the first round but they were not even slightly off guard. They will not underestimate the enemy. Condescending anyone will lead them in peril. They did not want that.
Shi Lang said, “Do not use the phaser mode right off the bat.”
Steel replied, “Yes, boss.”
The federal mecha was a standard human body design, with ck and white paint on it. The enemy also had a mecha simr to the one in thest battle. This person did not waste time in taunting, but swiftly ced his hand on the hilt of the sabre.
Steel nodded and ced his hand on the sword hilt as well. They were both standing fifty meters away, after extending their hands and des, they could cover this distance in a blink. The artificial system took over the host’s task of match countdown. The hostess was only for the first round.
Theputer finished the countdown and a voice sounded in the arena, “Begin.”
Steel had the sword attached to his waist, while the opponent had been holding his weapon high above his head. The sound had not finished echoing, when the two weapons collided with a ng.
Steel seemed to be resisting the attack of the sabre from the over head position, his mech was leaning forward just like the opponent, but the other party had the aid of gravity, thus he seemed to be pushing back the Terran.
Thementators have begun talking among themselves, when they watched the battle. It was now down to the show of muscle. The higher torque would win, well, that was what everyone thought. However, Steel was not a fool to put himself in such a situation.
This was a deliberate action. The other party will think that the Terrans have be arrogant after the first victory. That will make them expose the weaknesses of Terran attacks, but if the weakness was not a weakness, what will they do?
Steel shifted his weight on his right leg, his sword tip was facing left. By doing this, he managed to parry the sword attack, and lowered his arms, the opponent was not weak, to prevent himself from being attack on the back, the other party instantly kicked back.
Conventionally, Steel should have backed off, but he side stepped, dropped his sword on the ground letting the tip stand erect in the ground, while he locked the extended leg under his arm. This move took the enemy by surprise, but before he or she could do anything, Steel, kicked on the knee joint of the supporting right leg.
The feline pilot lost the bnce and fell forward, Steel yanked the body of hard, and swung it in an arc parallel to the ground. The feline pilot happened to be swiping toward the sword that stood erect in the arena.
Steel said, “Initiate phaser edge.”
This was a feature that could give his sword an edgeced with phaser energy and could cut through metal as it a hot knife through butter. The remotemand was out, and the sword edge turned light blue.
The opponent did not even understand what happened to him as the body of the mecha was divided from the torso. A clean cut, with the glowing edges of the Feline mecha. Steel did not win, he crushed. He was a righteous man, and he did not like to hold back at all.
…
Arianta could not help but say, “Did you see that?”
The crowd woke up and they erupted in loud cheers. Terrans were way better than their anticipation. They had no idea why they were not called the sub-seeded team? The feline team was taken down so easily as if a bunch of toddlerspeting against a group of adults. This was a shocking thing.
The hostess did not waste time, and proceeded to ask thementators about their analysis. The answers were something everyone had expected. After thements, the result was set, two-nil. Two in favor of the Terrans.
Just when Arianta was about to announce that the match hase to an end, the mecha from the Feline side stepped on the ground. The hostess asked, “The match is over, you have lost two battles.”
The mecha replied, “I do not wish topete for score, just allow me to redeem our dignity.”
Arianta was in a tough spot, Shi Lang did not move, he was not worried, but suddenly, an announcement sounded, “You can have an exhibition match.”
The message was clear, if you want to fight, then go fight.
…
Steel had just turned around when the enemy said this. He wanted to turn back and Fight when Shi Lang said, “Come back, it is for me.”
The team was surprised. They paid attention to the opposing mecha and relented. The opposite party had a lion head but with a thick mane dangling around the head. Shi Lang was right this mecha must belong to the leader.
His own mecha was distinct, crimson red in color with the shura seal painted on the side. The dominating aura radiating from its metallic body was too oppressing. Shi Lang calmly walked ahead, on his back hung a spear diagonally.
He said, “I will fight you, but I will not hold back.”
The opponent looked at him and replied, “I do not wish for you to go easy on me. You are strong, and I respect the strong. However, I will not back off without a fight.”
Shi Lang did not say much and took off his spear, he directlymanded the phaser edge around the spear head to activate. The spear was seven meters long in total. While the Mecha was six meters tall.
The other party was also filled with valor and courage so he also took out his weapon. It happened to be a spear as well. The countdown started, and then came to an end, but none of the two moved. They stood gazing at each other.
…
Jane suddenly recalled something and pressing themunication button said, “Godspeed.”
They realized that they had forgotten to greet him. It was a bad omen for Terrans and now their hearts were rattling.
…
Shi Lang smiled, but he still did not move. He was waiting for the other party to strike first. He was really not going to make the first strike. Since the other party wanted to redeem their face, then they muste to him.
This was his pride. He was not worried about the pace of the battle at all. He was confident in his skills. Arianta said, “You guys, we do not have a whole day to do this, you know? Get on with it.”
The two people moved, and they moved so fast that the mecha appeared to be flicker, and followed by a sound, Zheng!!
