”They're both waiting for opportunities. Whenever they unleash their soul skills again, the battle is going to be decided. I can't believe the opponent can keep up with the third battalion commander's exemplary techniques! Did you see that? They're able to change directions multiple times during propulsion. That left-right dodge combo was insane! If it were me, I would've definitely been struck by the third battalion commander's attack.”

”Who IS his opponent? He's definitely not from our legion because there's no spear-wielder among the mecha battle partic.i.p.ants here, and there most certainly isn't a spear-wielder here that's one the third battalion commander's level! The third battalion commander's melee combat techniques are the best in our entire Iron Will Corps. Even if the first battalion master wants to beat him, he can only do so through brute strength.”

”Who's calling me a brute over there?” Jiang Wuyue's displeased voice suddenly rang out.

The soldier stuck out his tongue and put on a fawning smile. ”Greetings, Superior.”

At this moment, Jiang Wuyue was also looking up at the big screen with a curious expression on his face.

He had been here for a while, and as he'd been thoroughly enthralled by the mecha battle being broadcasted. The melee combat techniques being displayed here were definitely of the highest caliber.

In the beginning, the spear-wielding mecha had clearly been forced onto the back foot, and its movements also appeared to be rather jerky and unrefined. However, the mecha pilot had fantastic control, and their mecha was always able to unleash some maneuvers that were beyond the capabilities of normal mechas to evade the third battalion commander's attacks.

However, as the battle progressed, the spear-wielding melee combat mechas movement were becoming quicker and more proficient, and now, the two were evenly matched.

The spear was moving quicker and quicker, and it was imbued with an unstoppable will that would never back down. On many occasions, it alleviated the dangerous situation that it was in by fighting fire with fire and attacking the opponent's vitals in retaliation. How was he improving so quickly? Alternatively, could it be that the spear-wielding mecha had only been pretending to be a novice?

The soldier from before was right; if he were partic.i.p.ating in this battle and he wanted to beat either of the two partic.i.p.ants, then he'd have no choice but to resort to brute strength. Jiang Wuyue wasn't especially outstanding when it came to battle technique, but he had an extremely powerful martial soul.

”Boom, boom, boom!”

The saber and spear clashed three times in rapid succession, and the third battalion commander's mecha was abruptly forced back, indicating that it had come off second-best during that clash.

A layer of flames also erupted from the mecha immediately thereafter, instantly turning it into a red color. The long saber was slashed through the air again, sending a powerful saber projection hurtling directly toward his opponent.

”The third battalion commander seems to be on the back foot. Otherwise, there's no way that he'd take the initiative to attack!” someone immediately yelled.

Tang Wulin's mecha didn't choose to take the attack head-on. Instead, its body swayed, and it displayed an extraordinary movement technique to evade the third battalion commander's attack.

”Wait, is that the Tang Sect's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track?” The Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track was something that was learned by almost all Tang Sect disciples.

This movement technique was extremely unpredictable, and the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track differed from person to person. It was an extremely effective movement technique to use in battle, but that only applied to people as opposed to mechas.

The Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track was renowned for its countless variations and unpredictable nature, so it was extremely complex. Only the best mecha pilots could control their mechas to complete a few of the technique's basic movements. This was because mechas were unable to perform many of the maneuvers that the human body could, such as twisting the body and things like that.

However, Tang Wulin was controlling his mecha to perform the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to an extremely exemplary degree. At the same time, he'd activated the mecha's propeller, and the fact that the mecha was using the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track while rus.h.i.+ng forward at high speed created quite an extraordinary sight to behold.

The third battalion commander felt as if his opponent's mecha suddenly blurred before it abruptly appeared in front of his mecha. The opponent's spear was then thrust directly toward his pilot room, and at this point, he hadn't even had a chance to withdraw his long saber yet.

He immediately unleashed another soul skill without any hesitation, and a layer of reddish-golden flames erupted from the mecha's body before fusing with the protective barrier. At the same time, the mecha swept its long saber horizontally through the air.
