Meanwhile, Tang Wulin's mecha had only just raised its leg, and the soul cannon blast was already quite close. However, as opposed to being aimed at Tang Wulin's mecha, the cannon blast was aimed at the ground just in front of him, so if he were to step forward, he'd be running straight into it. The best way to counter this would be to withdraw his leg and pause for a moment. This was clearly a tactic from his opponent to try and control his rhythm!

Tang Wulin's heart stirred as he came to this realization. His opponent was using their long-range attacks to control the rhythm of the battle and restrict his movements.

Ling Wuyue had once told him that the most powerful long-range attacking mecha pilots could control everything on the battlefield, and that their opponents would be reduced to puppets on strings that were forced to obey their will. These types of mecha pilots were extremely fearsome, and the impossible could often be made possible by them. Even if they only had one type of simple long-range weapon at their disposal, they would still be able to unleash a bag of countless tricks.

In the face of such an opponent, the first thing that he had to do was to ensure that he didn't fall into his opponent's rhythm. Even if he had to take a few attacks head-on, he had to foil his opponent's control.

As such, Tang Wulin activated his mecha's propeller almost without any hesitation. At the same time, he injected his soul power into his spear to release a powerful spear projection, and he hurtled directly toward the cannon blast.

”Boom!” The melee combat mecha instantly pa.s.sed through the explosion and continued to accelerate as it charged toward the opposing mecha.

However, right at this moment, the opposing mecha seemed to have suddenly begun to perform a dance on the other side of the compet.i.tion platform.

With each and every movement it performed, a cannon blast would be unleashed from the soul cannon in its hand.

As soon as Tang Wulin pa.s.sed through the first cannon blast, nine more were already hurtling toward him. The trajectories of these cannon blasts were very strange; all of them were flying in curved trajectories, hurtling toward a path that Tang Wulin had to take if he wanted to close in on his opponent.

Tang Wulin harrumphed coldly and displayed his immense physical resistance and exemplary control. Even while his mecha was being accelerated by its propeller, he forcibly controlled it to change directions in mid-air, sending him flying forward diagonally instead of straight forward.

However, right at this moment, the nine cannon blasts that he'd already evaded suddenly crashed into one another.

A violent boom erupted from the side, followed by a powerful shockwave.

Tang Wulin instantly realized what his opponent was trying to do; they had clearly predicted that he would be able to evade the first attack, so they had unleashed these attacks as a follow-up. Even though all nine cannon blasts were traveling on curved trajectories, they were converging toward a single point. The two mechas were situated several hundred meters away from one another, and these generic mechas had no high-end circuits that could enhance their aim, so his opponent's accuracy in long-range attacks was quite extraordinary. As expected of the top 16; those who had made it to this point were truly a level above the rest.

These thoughts ran through Tang Wulin's mind in a flash, and immediately thereafter, shockwaves erupted from beside his mecha. The powerful force behind these shockwaves instantly diverted his mecha off its original course, and he had just forcibly made the mecha change directions while traveling at high speed, placing intense overall strain on the mecha that was making it screech and tremor violently.

These mechas were very heavy, so they could easily harm themselves while performing some awkward maneuvers.

Tang Wulin was slightly alarmed by this, but he remained completely unfl.u.s.tered. He slammed the spear in his mecha's right hand into the ground to arrest its sideways momentum, and the mecha performed a roll in mid-air. At the same time, he turned off its propeller, and it landed on the ground in a stable manner.

However, he still had to praise his opponent. Even though he'd already made a great effort not to fall under his opponent's control, he was still controlled in the end.

Right at this moment, Tang Wulin was suddenly struck by the sense of a looming threat, and he discovered that there was a ma.s.sive cannon blast hurtling toward him. This one was completely different from the cannon blasts unleashed by the generic soul cannon, and it was like a miniature sun that was approaching him at an alarming speed. This attack had clearly been unleashed before his mecha had been diverted sideways from the shockwaves of the previous explosion.

He had completely fallen into his opponent's rhythm, and this was something that he really didn't want to see.

The cannon blast had a diameter of over a meter, and it was s.h.i.+mmering with dazzling light, but at its core, there was a ball of flas.h.i.+ng black light. It was quite apparent that this attack was definitely not one that Tang Wulin wanted to take head-on.

However, it was already too late for him to evade. Even if he were to use his soul skills, there was no way for him to evade the attack in such a short time. His spear was still rammed into the ground, so he couldn't even defend himself with his weapon.

In this critical situation, Tang Wulin did something that no one expected.

He drew his spear out of the ground, then sent his own mecha falling backward to evade the cannon blast. At the same time, his mechas leg swept upward, and a rumbling boom concealed the loud dragon's roar that rang out immediately thereafter.
