Chapter 971 (2/2)

His emotions had always been quite complex toward Gu Yuena. Particularly due to the fact that no matter how he looked at her, he couldn't help but feel as if she were a fusion between Gu Yue and Na'er.

In reality, the current Gu Yuena was more like Na'er in that Na'er had also always been so dependent on him in the past. However, he could sense that she was still Gu Yue. Just what had happened between them?

This was a mystery that he was constantly mulling over.

However, regardless of whether she was Gu Yue or Na'er, she was still her, and her love for him had never changed. That much had been confirmed to him when she had appeared to s.h.i.+eld him with her own body in that dire situation.

I have to become a major as quickly as possible!

Tang Wulin clenched his fists with all his might. Only by becoming a major could he pay her regular visits.

He didn't exit the battle net. Seeing as he'd already come in, he couldn't just leave without trying out a mecha battle.

After arriving in a mecha area, he discovered that the situation was the same as that of the combat rooms in the Soul Master area as he still had to pay for entry. However, an additional option was presented to him, asking him if he'd like a melee combat mecha or a long-range attacking mecha.

Tang Wulin chose the latter option without any hesitation.

When he appeared on the compet.i.tion platform, he discovered that his body was already situated within a mecha. The controls within the mecha belonged to that of the most ordinary generic mecha, and from the complexity of the controls, he could deduce that this was most likely a yellow mecha. Through the display screen within the mecha, he could see that the mecha was entirely of a pristine white color, and that it was holding a soul cannon. It also had a protective barrier equipped, and that was all of the equipment it had.

Just a single soul cannon!

Right at this moment, light flashed up ahead, and another mecha appeared before him. In terms of outward appearance, this mech was larger than his, and it also appeared to be a bit heavier. The mecha was holding a claymore, which indicated that it was a melee-combat mecha, and it was just as badly equipped as his mecha was.

Tang Wulin couldn't help but burst into laughter. This kind of mecha battle was quite interesting.

He adjusted the soul cannon in his hand, then briefly familiarized himself with the controls within the mecha, and at this point, the countdown had already begun.

”Three, two, one, begin!”

As soon as the electronic voice trailed off, the opposing mecha was already hurtling toward Tang Wulin like a rumbling bulldozer.

The melee combat mecha was around 12 meters tall and weighed eight tons, whereas the long-range attacking mecha was only around 10 meters tall and weighed six and a half tons.

Tang Wulin immediately controlled his mecha to unleash a cannon blast toward his oncoming opponent, then immediately turned and fled.

In a battle between a long-range attacking unit and a melee combat unit, his top priority was to open up distance between them.

The soul cannon blast was orange in color, and as soon as it was released, it instantly accelerated before flying toward the melee combat mecha.

The opposing mecha reacted in a very agile manner as its body swayed slightly. It looked as if it were about to fall over, but it supported itself against the ground with its left hand, allowing it to evade the cannon blast before charging directly toward Tang Wulin again, and it hadn't slowed down much during that maneuver. The mecha pilot hadn't even used the turbo boosters attached to the back of the mecha yet.

Tang Wulin was rather impressed by his opponent's handling skills.

At the same time, he twisted around and unleashed a string of continuous attacks with his soul cannon.

The melee combat mecha appeared to be very mobile, and its body continued to weave from side to side, evading in an agile and consistent manner. In the meantime, it was constantly closing down the distance between itself and Tang Wulin, and the two mechas were now situated less than 50 meters away from one another.

If he were to activate the turbo boosters now, it would only take him half a second to reach Tang Wulin, and if a long-range attacking mecha were to allow a melee combat unit to get close to it, a tragedy would undoubtedly ensue for the former.

The soul cannon required three seconds of cooldown time after every string of 10 continuous blasts, and Tang Wulin quickly grasped that pattern.
