Chapter 176 Actual Combat with Mechanical Sui (2/2)
After kiting for a while, when Han Xiao finished all the clips of Red Falcon and Berserk Eagle, Mutant White Lion King finally closed in to within a hundred meters.
Han Xiao stopped backing up and instead dashed forward to the beast king.
”Switch to Combat Mode!” Han Xiao yelled.
Electricity pumped through the cables. As bright red light shone from the Bonfire Reaction Furnace on his back, muscle fibers in the suit expanded and provided Han Xiao with even more power.
Clenching his fist, Han Xiao could clearly feel the amount of power in the mechanical suit just waiting to be let out; the additional attributes from the suit had more than doubled his STR and DEX.
Yang Dian and Ned saw from afar that Han Xiao was going to face the white lion king head-on.
”Don't fight him at such a close range!” they shouted at Han Xiao in shock.
This mysterious person in the mechanical suit was there to save them—he was their hope. They could remember how easily Yang Dian had been defeated, and this guy might very well end up the same.
Such a small sized human, yet he still chose to face the enormous beast head-on! It was like throwing an egg at a stone—it would have no impact!
The man and the lion crashed against each other. The result was certain in the minds of Yang Dian and Ned. They almost wanted to close their eyes and not see how cruel the end would be for that mysterious man.
But they were wrong. The mysterious man not only did not suffer a tragic loss, but it was the white lion that was growling in pain. The white lion king was knocked back, and half of Han Xiao's body was hammered into the ground. They were unbelievably on par!
Han Xiao had a lighter weight. He had to direct the strength into the ground to not be knocked up. With the leg muscles unleashing their energy, Han Xiao jumped out of the ground and swung his leg onto the white lion's head like a whip. With a loud sound, a ripple appeared in the air.
The white lion's skull changed shape from the power. Its whole body was sent rolling away and smashing onto the ground.
”Oh my god!”
Yang Dian and Ned were completed stunned by what they saw.
Their sizes were more than ten times apart, and that terrifying white lion had just lost to this mysterious person! In strength!
Yang Dian felt his throat going dry. What he had seen was too impactful. Just because he could not do it, did not mean others could not. He had fought with other Pugilists that were stronger than him, and none of them even came close to how strong the White Lion King was. Yet, this mysterious man was even stronger than that.
”What mechanical suit is that? I've never seen that before,” Yang Dian said.
Ned's eyes continued staring straight ahead, not sparing Yang Dian a glance. ”Could it be a secret research of some giant organization?”
During combat mode, Viper gave an attribute boost of 78 STR and 45 DEX, which made these two attributes of Han Xiao even higher than the White Lion King's. What was even more horrifying was that his [Overload] could further improve the attributes from Viper!
Han Xiao had noticed Yang Dian and Ned much earlier, but since he did not know who they were, he did not bother much about it.
Han Xiao fought the Mutant White Lion King at a very close rage, each of his punches and kicks dealing a high amount of damage. Energy was flowing rapidly from the Mini Bonfire Reaction Furnace, and the high amount of armor protected him from White Lion King's attacks.
Only using fists and legs was a total waste on all the functions the mechanical suit had. Han Xiao had turned on the Heating Gloves and Sun Worm and lit the White Lion King's fur on fire, leaving burn marks around his body.
Their fight shook the ground like an earthquake. Even the duo watching from afar could feel it as they spectated the heated fight in awe. Although White Lion King's attacks became strong and faster over time, Han Xiao still had the upper hand. He could avoid most attacks because of how agile he was, and even for those that he did not manage to avoid, they could not penetrate his suit.
The duo intended to help, but they realized that not only were they not able to, they might become a burden even if they tried to help. However, they were not the kind to leave their savior behind, so they stood aside watching helplessly.
Curiosity and amazement of Han Xiao's mechanical suit filled their minds—they had never seen or heard any country that was ever able to make such a strong single unit combat suit with so many functions before.
Planet Aquamarine's progress in mechanical suit research has always lacked behind. Rumor had it that only the country of Theseus had exoskeleton mechanical suit prototypes, but they were heavy and bulky and could not improve the user's physical abilities. However, this mechanical suit was far beyond their knowledge and understanding.
In galactic civilizations, single unit combat suit was standard equipment for soldiers, which reduced the gap between humans and Superhumans, and it was more than a bargain for players.
The Viper was a piece of equipment ahead of its time—it should never have even appeared in front of players in version 1.0. In fact, no mechanical suit was supposed to have been created in version 1.0 and definitely not owned by any player.
