The battle between Huo Zhen and Giles was beyond the expectations of the interstellar viewers.
They never thought that besides the Guardian, there would be someone else who could fight against a mecha with bare hands and not be at a disadvantage at all.
The methods used by Huo Zhen were also surprising.
The audience couldn’t help talking about it, but the fight in the arena continued.
After the plant tentacles started to invade the gaps in the mecha, Giles finally acted decisively and fired a high-end energy particle cannon. This directly connected to the plants and melted the ground beneath his feet into a deep pit.
Old Huo wasn’t panicked at all seeing the mecha break free and fly into the air. He just smiled and said, “You don’t think you can escape like this, do you?”
The moment he finished speaking, dense green filaments grew on the mecha flying in the air, wrapping around the entire mecha.
These filaments not only wrapped around the outside of the mecha, but also found their way through various gaps and tightly wrapped around the entire mecha.
It was impossible to have no gaps even in sophisticated and advanced mechas, especially between the joints.
The mecha’s limbs couldn’t move as long as these joints were entangled, and would basically be useless!
Giles was horrified.
The high-energy particle cannon could deal with it, but these green filaments had penetrated deep into the mecha and couldn’t be removed at all.
Should he shoot himself with a particle cannon?
That would put him in danger even in the cockpit, so he couldn’t do so.
In just a dozen seconds, the plant filaments had covered all the gaps in the mecha, making it extremely difficult to move.
The alarms were getting louder.
After staying in the air for less than two minutes, the flying device was destroyed and the mecha fell to the ground with a loud bang.
Giles in the cockpit wasn’t in any danger, but winning the battle seemed unlikely.
He gritted his teeth. Before he landed completely, he fired a shot in the direction of Huo Zhen.
In the face of this cannon, Huo Zhen was still standing on the ground and overwhelmed by the light of the cannonball.
The audience held their breath.
The moment the flames gradually dissipated, they saw the transparent shield in front of the white-haired man.
All those who had done some research on Giles’ mecha couldn’t help their eyes widening.
The latest energy cannon developed by the Interstellar Alliance could pierce through super battleships!
What type of shield was so powerful that it was even stronger than the steel plate of a super battleship?
Giles couldn’t hold out for long before he raised the white flag.
He was safe in the cockpit, but he was trapped and lost the ability to move. There was no point in continuing the stalemate in this situation.
In fact, he felt more relieved than angry when he saw Huo Zhen raising his shield.
After all, this was just an exhibition match and he didn’t want to cause any deaths.
During his time in the Roland Empire, he had learned about the wonders of a magical civilization and no longer felt that there was anything shameful about losing.
He even wanted to learn it. Unfortunately, no one in their delegation had any magical talent.
After Giles surrendered, the interstellar audience was in an uproar. The onlookers, players and Roland citizens all cheered and gave the warmest applause to the victorious hero.
No matter who looked at it, this confrontation was so unexpected!
However, the next three matches refreshed everyone’s cognition.
Including the first match, the Interstellar Alliance’s delegation lost all four matches in a row!
The mecha masters who came on the field later tried their best to avoid the mistakes made by their teammates in the game. For example, the mecha master in the second game flew into the sky as soon as he came on the field, leaving no chance for the opponent to entangle him.
However, his opponent Bazel wasn’t a wood elementalist. He naturally couldn’t control plants like Huo Zhen.
His talent was wind.
Wind was also everywhere.
The outer shells of these mechs were very hard and couldn’t be penetrated by ordinary weapons. It was impossible for all internal parts to be protected by this new type of material.
Plus, Bazel was a pharmacist.
In addition to medicines that could cure diseases and save lives, medicines naturally included highly corrosive poisons.
Therefore, the second mecha lost, and his precious mecha was irreparably damaged.
When he was rescued from the cockpit, he was still staring at the mecha whose interior had been half corroded. His face was ashen and he almost couldn’t stand.
The third and fourth matches were also completely different from the other two.
The coolest one was probably the magic circle master, Dominic.
After integrating card magic, the magic circle magic could cast spells instantly and was definitely the nightmare of the enemies on the battlefield.
The various lights of the magic circle flickered, and the beautiful scene was filled with endless killing intent.
The players watching the match at the scene cheered and screamed, accompanied by the warmest applause.
The mentors were so strong, so awesome!
Forget about the magic circle instructor, but why were the potion and cooking instructors so awesome? This completely overturned the players’ previous superficial views on these two disciplines.
These two mentors used potions and cooking as auxiliary means, but their main means of attack were still elementalist skills. Still, this allowed players to see the great prospects of these two life professions.
This had become a battle tutorial of magic and technology. Not only was the clever use of low-level skills amazing, but even the high-level skills made players feel envious.
They wanted to learn it!
The magic system of the game allowed them to learn skills on their own. It was rare to see five-star NPCs fighting. Perhaps they could learn from these NPCs?
Their eyes full of curiosity widened and they started to shout enthusiastically for the next game.
There were already the four five-star instructors mentioned above. The last one should be the alchemy instructor, Ms Aina!
“Roland! Roland!”
“Aina! Aina!”
“……”
Enthusiastic cheers resounded through the sky. Xu Sili, who was sitting in the main seat, watched the duels one after another. The surprise on his face faded and turned into a joyful smile.
He hadn’t expected the mentors to be so powerful.
Was this the power of a five-star elementalist?
He was about to enter this level, but he hadn’t encountered a situation where he needed to take action for a long time.
Watching their fight, he couldn’t help simulating it in his mind. What type of tactics would he adopt if he was to fight against these mechas?
Most sound skills were auxiliary, but the power of the sonic boom was great.
In the fifth match, Alchemist Aina faced off against the mecha master Yu Sen.
Yu Sen controlled the mecha and went on the field. He recalled his teammates’ instructions in his mind, his palms sweating slightly.
The moment he first heard the change in the competition situation, he couldn’t understand it like Renard. After all, he had traveled so far to Roland and his goal was to fight the Guardian!
However, now he put away all his contempt.
His teammates told him through the results of the battle that if he didn’t want to lose too badly, he had better be extremely vigilant and take it seriously.
However, no amount of vigilance or attention would help.
The reason they lost was that they didn’t understand the elementalists of the Roland Empire. Each of these five elementalists possessed endless methods.
The key was that these methods were very useful against their mechas!
The most outrageous one among them was probably Aina.
As an alchemist, she had dismantled thousands of mechas during the hundred years of wandering among alien planets.
When it came to the structure of mechas, she was probably the one with the deepest understanding of them in the Roland Empire apart from the scientists in the research institute.
She was best at applying what she had learned, and she was also a metal elementalist…
It might be impossible to dismantle the mecha with bare hands like Si Sheng, but it was still impossible to directly generate the appropriate tools and dismantle the mecha!
As a result, the audience saw Ms Aine releasing several alchemy puppets to fight against Yu Sen.
The alchemy puppet was naturally no match for Yu Sen. Just as everyone was getting excited, they saw Yu Sen’s mecha constantly making clanging sounds when fighting in the air… were parts falling off?
“D*mn, are the alliance’s mechas of such poor quality?”
“Today’s five matches were so unique. I’ve never seen such a unique mecha competition in my life!”
“Is this a mecha competition? This is clearly a mecha dismantling competition, right?”
“Look, Yu Sen’s mecha is disintegrating!”
They saw the silver-white mecha dropping small parts one after another. First was a leg, then another leg, an arm, a head…
Finally, Yu Sen’s cockpit fell out of the mecha and rolled on the ground several times before stopping.
His face was dejected when he climbed out of the cockpit. Looking at the torn to pieces mecha, he looked like he had lost his soul.
There was no doubt that the Roland Empire had won this competition.
Ms Aina smiled as she looked at Yu Sen. “Don’t worry, the parts aren’t damaged. I can put them back for you.”
Yu Sen finally came back to his senses and smiled bitterly.
This type of fighting style… he had never heard of it and never seen it before!
Not to mention him, but even the interstellar audience was confused.
What was conceivable was that the Roland Empire had become popular!
Once the fifth match of the mecha competition came to an end, both the actual ratings and attendance rate of the Star Network’s exchange platform broke records, even exceeding the finals of the Genius Competition!
Almost all topics on the Star Network revolved around this game.
The first was to question it.
After all, the methods used by the Roland Empire’s contestants were too bizarre. Some people even reported that it was a scam.
However, Renard reacted quickly. He might be confused by the result of the competition, especially since he arranged a live broadcast without authorization, causing many viewers to doubt the quality of the Interstellar Alliance’s mechas…
But when he received the news, he came out in time to refute the rumors.
Then a video defending the Roland Empire was released.
Everyone finally knew that the Roland Empire was actually a rare magical civilization, and that this nation, which ranked second from the bottom in the interstellar rankings, had actually quietly wiped out the Clive star thieves!
This notorious group of star thieves had five super battleships!
After the Interstellar Alliance came out to refute the rumors, the discussion about the Roland Empire reached a new level.
Fans didn’t have many complaints despite the fact that this competition was originally supposed to be played by the Guardian.
After all, the Guardian had chopped off a super battleship with one sword! It would be too difficult for these mecha masters to fight him.
The competition hadn’t ended, but the phone and inboxes of the Roland Empire’s liaison department were flooded with messages.
Almost all of them asked how to get to the Roland Empire and wanted to travel there.
Yaheng, who was left behind, was confused.
The Roland Empire wasn’t open to the outside world yet!
Meanwhile, Si Sheng entered the venue and announced the official end of the mecha competition.
The powerful aura emanating from the blond-haired man was even more terrifying than when facing him on the Star Network.
Yu Sen had come to look for him and was so frightened that not a single word could be uttered.
After the man flew back to the audience and returned to the silver-haired young man, Yu Sen lowered his head and picked up the mecha parts on the ground. Finally, he walked out of the arena dejectedly.
He seemed to have suddenly lost his energy and spirit.
Every teammate he met patted him on the shoulder and comforted him silently.
Yu Sen sat in the corner, not wanting to talk to anyone for the time being. There were four other people who behaved the same way as him.
At this moment, someone sat down next to him and handed him a glass of water.
He pursed his lips and was about to refuse when he heard the man say, “Young man, are you injured anywhere?”
Yu Sen was stunned. He looked up at the man next to him, who had a kind and friendly look, and blurted out, “Grandpa?”
Dr Yu Mingwei was also stunned.
Oh my god, this kid actually recognized him!
