Chapter 338: Mech Duel III

Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was a strange fight, an unfair fight if one were to emphasize since both parties shared a drastic difference in size. The Steel Samurai was as if the hulk in rage, ready for destruction, whereas Han Jia was as if the lady in vain, ready for dance-instruction. Interestingly, both pilots were similarly different too, in which Xiong Mocong had the bulkiness of Steel Samurai and Ye Chong suddenly looked so feeble when he stood against Xiong Mocong with that thin body of his.

Bi Bo was ready. His journalist's soul was calling. He would be in remorse for the rest of his life if he were to miss this duel without the camera!

Quickly he took out his camera and was going to give a press on the ON button. Smash. A dagger came from no where and the camera splintered.

”What th-” Nobody could stand their expensive, beloved photographic apparatus being smashed for no reason, even for Mr. Good-tempered like Bi Bo, he lifted his head, was going to throw a tantrum, yet he was stopped, as seeing Susan's sweet smile as she played with the other dagger of hers, ”Little boy, it's never a good habit to sneak a shot on others alright?”

”Ha. Hahaha....” His rage had vaporized into an awkward laugh. She was right, Bi Bo even despised the paparazzi-like behavior himself. He zipped his mouth and sucked it up.

”Start!”

Both sides stampeded and jumped into the cabin. Every second in a mech duel counts! The time one took to enter the cabin would be the top determiner in the outcome.

90% of the pilots who died in a fight against the martial arts neglected such brief process.

Xiong Mocong might have a cumbersome looking body, he was truly dexterous for he was nearly as fast as Ye Chong, in a ground-shattering movement however... It felt like a plough machine, except armed with a turbo. Ye Chong was quite the contrary as he moved like a phantom silently.

Ye Chong was slightly ahead of Xiong Mocong, even though Xiong Mocong had butted into the cabin before Ye Chong managed to sit tight.

The first stage of a mech duel ended with a draw. It was no surprise for the Ze Xi trainees to see Ye Chong leading, since they had been well-convinced by his performance during the war, but it was a little distressing to see how the triumph he made was negligible at first stage.

Xiong Mocong thought otherwise however, as his glance convinced him the fact that this punk turned out to be slightly faster in action, which gave him a skip in his heartbeat. He had been a freelancing pilot before joining the organization so he had gotten used to the days of getting into a street fight taken in the form of a duel, which was the main source of his income. To ensure the money flowing, he worked hard on nailing every duel yet it was the first time he encountered someone who got into position faster than him.

So was this punk truly unlike what he looked?

But he no longer had the chance to retreat now. He settled down and skillfully activated the engine.

I guess the punk should also be warming up now. Thought Xiong Mocong as habitually he glanced at the screen, which gave him a flinch.

The screen... is empty?

Wait what?

The first deduction that appeared in his mind was, the foe had hidden himself. But that was not possible, the foe could hide but never possibly this fast. He might be a few seconds ahead of Xiong Mocong but those few seconds were not sufficient to perform a camouflage, not even for a elite pilot.

Is my detection system jammed? Maybe... although I clearly remember the amount of maintenance I worked on this baby. Don't tell me the machine just has to break down at this very nick of time. My body is not ready for this.

Xiong Mocong was experienced enough to know to turn out the photon-detection mode. The arena was not boundless like the space, so it should work, although Xiong Mocong did not see this as a good beginning for a duel.

Right at that moment, a gorgeous-looking mech filled the entire screen, which gave Xiong Mocong a shocker as his hands reflexively bounced on the control panel.

Such speed. The foe has already gotten right into my face!?

He reacted promptly with a standard stance by his Steel Samurai to block the incoming blow.

Thus! The Steel Samurai was pushed a few steps back. Han Jia might have a smaller physique than the Steel Samurai, its featherweight still packed a punch under velocity.

The Steel Samurai slightly tilted its body and repositioned itself into another stance. Thup! The next blow was blocked successfully. The pair of daggers of Han Jia however left two slashes on the shield of the samurai.

Such defense... Ye Chong was amazed as he performed a quick flip at Han Jia. Its butterfly wings quivered frantically and zapped to the back of the samurai.

”Jesus...” Shrieked Bi Bo, even Susan nearly tripped herself seeing the speed. Did the feebly pretty mech just break the law of aerodynamic?!

Impossible, how? Bi Bo who was well educated by his father believed his own insight in the law of physics.
