The two boomerangs were crossed on the mecha's back and s.h.i.+mmering with a faint silver light.

This was the first time that Tang Wulin had encountered a boomerang-wielding-mecha. The name hovering above the mecha read ”Ling Wuyue”. This seemed to be a real name, and it most likely belonged to a woman.

”Five, four, three, two, one, begin!”

Following the electronic voice's countdown, the mecha battle official commenced.

Ling Wuyue raised both of her mecha's hand at the same time to grab onto the boomerangs that were peeking out from behind the mechas back. The boomerangs were then hurled through the air at a lightning-fast speed.

From the trajectories of their flight, it appeared that they weren't being aimed at Tang Wulin.

Even though this was a long-range attacking mecha, Ling Wuyue didn't attempt to open up any distance between Tang Wulin and herself. Instead, her mecha was rus.h.i.+ng directly toward his.

Tang Wulin didn't dare to underestimate his opponent, and he also spurred on his mecha to rush forward while constantly keeping a close eye on the boomerangs that were flying through the air.

He didn't have to take a direct attack from those boomerangs to know that they were definitely far more powerful than normal soul cannons. At the very least, there was no way that the protective barrier of a normal melee combat mecha would be able to keep them at bay.

The wings of the boomerangs were roughly around four meters in length each, and at the center was an obtuse angle that was over 140 degrees. The two ends and inner sides of each of the two boomerangs were lined with extremely sharp alloy blades, and what was even more terrifying was that after they were hurled through the air, and circuits within were able to trigger high-frequency vibrations. This gave the boomerangs extremely potent cutting power, and that wasn't even taking into account the weight of the boomerangs, as well as the speed they'd been hurled at. Among the weapons available to be chosen for long-range attacking mechas in this compet.i.tion, these boomerangs definitely packed the most destructive power.

Of course, they also had their flaws. While it was indeed true that they were extremely destructive, they were also very difficult to control. It was not easy for someone to use boomerangs as effective weapons.

The ma.s.sive boomerangs whistled through the air, and they didn't immediately fly toward Tang Wulin. The two boomerangs were both rotating at high speeds, and had encompa.s.sed a very large offensive range. Meanwhile, the two mechas were drawing closer and closer to one another.

All of a sudden, Ling Wuyue's sprang up into the air before curling up into a ball. At the same time, the propeller on its back had begun to flash.

If this were a battle between Soul Masters, then the first one to rise up into the air would generally be conceding an advantage unless they had absolute confidence in their own abilities. This was because it was quite difficult to control one's body in mid-air. However, this didn't apply to mechas as mechas were able to fly. As such, they could adjust themselves in many ways even while in mid-air.

Tang Wulin's mecha drew to a halt and pointed its long spear directly forward. He had chosen to adopt a calm and collected course of action in the face of this opponent, who was, quite frankly, rather confounding.

One of the ma.s.sive boomerangs reached him first. It was howling through the air with tremendous force, and it appeared right in front of Tang Wulin almost as soon as Ling Wuyue sprang up into the air.

Tang Wulin withdrew his mecha's spear before abruptly thrusting it toward what he believed to be the core of the boomerang based on his own observations, as well as his mecha's statistical a.n.a.lysis. The core was the point where the two wings were connected, and if that core were to be damaged, the boomerang would immediately be affected.

”Ding!” A crisp clang rang out, and in the instant that the spear clashed with the boomerang, the latter's immense rotational force flung Tang Wulin's spear upward. Meanwhile, the boomerang darted away like a frightened little rabbit, and Tang Wulin hadn't managed to land a substantial attack on it. The boomerang landed in the right hand of Ling Wuyue's mecha, and its sharp side was sent cras.h.i.+ng down directly toward Tang Wuin's mecha.

Meanwhile, the other boomerang just so happened to appear behind Tang Wulin at this moment, thereby sandwiching him between the two attacks.

Not only that, but a faint layer of energy also appeared over Ling Wuyue's body, and a third boomerang suddenly erupted out of her mecha's abdomen. This boomerang was slas.h.i.+ng horizontally toward Tang Wulin, and it had five soul rings on it, consisting of two yellows and three purples.

Her martial soul was a boomerang!

The third boomerang appeared to be slightly smaller than the boomerangs that the mecha was equipped with, but it was undoubtedly the case that this was the most powerful one. Ling Wuyue hadn't held back in the slightest and had unleashed three boomerangs from the get-go. This special battle method came as quite a surprise to Tang Wulin, and it also made him slightly fl.u.s.tered.

His opponent's attacks had cut off virtually all of his avenues for escape and evasion, and there was no telling which one of her five soul skills she was going to unleash with her third boomerang.

Tang Wulin couldn't help but internally commend his opponent while controlling his mecha to unleash its Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and retreat in a diagonal direction.
