129: Chapter 129 Technology and Ruthless Skills: I Heard Your Shield Can Defend Against Nuclear Bombs?
Titan Arena, Sector F Ring.
As the giant spotlights illuminated the arena, the stands, capable of holding 100,000 spectators, erupted in a thunderous cheer. The holographic commentator's excited voice echoed throughout the venue: "Ladies and gentlemen!" "The 99th Mecha Fighting Competition, the first round of eliminations, officially begins!" "Let's see the contestants in this group!"
"Red Team! The King of Speed from the Third Star Sector! Last year's runner-up—the Aurora Team!" "Piloting the Mecha: Aurora-VII! Equipped with a Superluminal Evasion System and a Particle Cutting Blade! It is synonymous with elegance and lethality!"
Boom—! A silver-white, streamlined mecha soared into the sky, performing several dazzling sonic boom rolls before landing gracefully. The mecha's surface glowed with an energy shield like the aurora, incredibly cool. Inside the cockpit, the Aurora Captain waved to the crowd through his transparent visor, eliciting countless screams.
"And the Blue Team..." The commentator's voice suddenly paused, as if confirming the data was correct. "The Blue Team is from... the joint team of the Scrap Iron Clan and the Tianhe Civilization—the Tianhe Demolition Office!" "Piloting the Mecha:...xingtian no. 1?"
Thump! Thump! Thump! Accompanied by heavy footsteps, a colossal black object slowly emerged from the passage. It didn't fly, nor did it have any light effects. It only had a body of thick, ink-black heavy armor, and six greatswords on its back that looked like both wings and tombstones. What was most unsettling was that its head had no eyes, only a vertical, tightly closed slit (mouth). Moreover, its walking posture was a bit strange... like it had just eaten its fill and was taking a stroll.
Boo—!!! A chorus of boos rang out from the audience. "What an ugly thing is this?" "Are the Scrap Iron Clan not all dead yet?" "Get down! Don't dirty our eyes!"
Inside the Aurora Mecha, the Captain looked at the black monster opposite him and sneered. "This kind of clumsy garbage, I can cut open its cockpit in one second." "Let the match begin!"
[FIGHT!]
With the referee's command, the Aurora Mecha moved. Whoosh—! It instantly transformed into a silver lightning bolt, moving too fast for the naked eye to catch. "Photon Acceleration! Particle Blade Charged!" The Aurora Captain controlled the mecha, circling behind xingtian no. 1. "It's over! Weak Point Strike!" The Particle Blade, carrying high temperatures capable of cutting through battleship armor, fiercely stabbed towards xingtian no. 1's nape (usually the energy core location of a mecha).
However. Facing this fatal blow, xingtian no. 1... didn't move. It didn't even turn its head.
Clang—!!! A crisp, bell-like clang.
The Particle Blade struck xingtian no. 1's nape armor. The expected scene of cutting through tofu did not occur. Instead, the high-tech Particle Blade, the moment it touched the black armor, seemed to hit an indescribable rule barrier. Crack. The blade... shattered. Not only did it shatter, but the armor's surface didn't even leave a scratch; instead, itIt twitched, secreting a black viscous liquid that "swallowed" the broken blade.
"What?!" The Aurora Captain was greatly alarmed, "How is this possible?! That's a Particle Blade that can cut through neutron star Materials!"
Before he could react, xingtian no. 1, which had been standing like a log, suddenly moved. It didn't turn around. Instead, its back suddenly split open. The six "Flying Sword wings" embedded in its back suddenly shot out, but did not fly away; instead, they transformed into six incredibly flexible mechanical tentacles.
Snap! One of the tentacles precisely grabbed the Aurora Mecha's ankle.
"Want to catch me? No way!" The Aurora Captain yanked the joystick, "Thrusters full throttle! Disengage!" Boom! The Aurora Mecha's engine spewed blue flames, attempting to soar into the sky.
But the next second, he despairingly discovered. The black tentacle was completely still. That was not the strength of a mechanical arm; it was a... [Rule: Gravity Lock]. It was like a great mountain pressing on his leg.
"Got you." A cold voice (Xiao Hei) appeared directly in the Aurora Captain's mind.
Immediately after, xingtian no. 1 slowly turned around. The vertical slit in its head, which originally had no facial features... opened. Revealing a deep abyss-like maw filled with sharp teeth, flowing lava, and drool.
"Roar—!!" A roar. Not a sound wave, but a mental shock. The Aurora Mecha's shield instantly shattered like a soap bubble under this roar.
"You... what kind of monster are you?!" The Aurora Captain peed his pants, "Referee! Referee! It's cheating! It's using biological weapons!"
"Cheating?" Inside the cockpit, Xiao Hei chewed gum and sneered. "This is called 'Bio-Bionics.'" "Also, the Dean said to demolish it thoroughly."
Boom! xingtian no. 1 raised its massive black fist. On the fist, the Wanfa Immortal Sect's [Crushing Formation] glowed with dazzling golden light. Not only that, Li Mo also blessed the fist with a simple Physics term: [Mass x Velocity = Momentum (and when momentum is conserved, the victim is fully responsible).]
"One punch... transcendence."
Bang————!!!!
This punch landed squarely on the fragile cockpit glass of the Aurora Mecha (a weakness designed for showmanship). There was no suspense. The expensive, high-tech Aurora-VII mecha was directly smashed into countless parts by this one punch. It was like bowling pins hit by a bowling ball, shattered into smithereens.
Fortunately, Xiao Hei held back a little strength at the end (Li Mo instructed not to kill, otherwise he would be disqualified), and the Aurora Captain was ejected by the cockpit's ejection System, hanging from the chandelier on the arena ceiling, frothing at the mouth and unconscious.
The entire venue... fell silent again. The commentator's microphone even dropped to the ground. The audience's mouths hung open, watching the black monster on the stage single-handedly lift the Aurora Mecha's wreckage, then throw it into the mouth on its chest, crunching and swallowing it.
This... this is mecha fighting? This is clearly a monster eating broadcast!
In the preparation area. Li Mo watched this scene and nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad." "Not only did we win the match, but we also recycled raw Materials (the Aurora Mecha's wreckage is also good metal)." "Frugality and good housekeeping, that is the excellent tradition of our Tianhe Academy."
He turned to the already terrified T-9 Robot. "Old buddy, don't just stand there." "Go collect the prize money." "Who do we fight next?"
T-9 trembled as it opened the schedule. "N-next match... is the Heavy Tank Clan... known for invincible defense..."
"Invincible defense?" Li Mo pushed up his glasses, a glint flashing in his eyes. "Very good." "Then let the Physics Department prepare." "The topic for the next lesson is: 'The Principle of Resonance and How to Shatter a Turtle Shell with a Tuning Fork.'"
