65: Space Warlock vs Void Hunter! The Martial Saint tears the mecha apart with his bare hands!

The moment Ye Ze finished speaking, Liu Anran's heart suddenly jolted!

A spatial fluctuation, one she was very familiar with, appeared behind her.

Her entire nervous system instantly tensed up.

Without even turning her head, she immediately cast "Space Teleportation," taking the five people over ten meters away.

The Mantis's strike missed, carving a huge crack in the ground.

"So dangerous!"

"It's a Space Summoned Beast, and his strength seems extraordinary!"

"Thanks to Big Sister Anran, we almost got ambushed by him..."

The few members of the team frowned, their expressions instantly becoming wary as they looked at Ye Ze.

The last to speak was a loli-figured girl about 1.5 meters tall, who gently stroked Liu Anran's back... instantly refilling Liu Anran's depleted Mana!

Liu Anran's delicate brows were tightly furrowed as she stared at the Void Mantis:

"He's a Space-type like me, so I'll have to deal with him..."

The long-haired young man beside her stared at Ye Ze, his fighting spirit soaring: "I'll deal with that Instructor!"

"Alright, Cold Maple, you all be careful."

"Once I'm done with this Mantis, I'll come help you."

As soon as Liu Anran finished speaking, the battlefield split into two sides.

She wielded her staff and cast "Space Collapse" at the Mantis's original location, and surging dimensional power poured out from the spatial rift.

But the Mantis's form turned illusory, completely unharmed.

Liu Anran's expression became serious. "Can't hit him? An illusory skill?"

"Ye Ze's Summoned Beast is that strong?"

After her Awakening Ceremony, she was specially recruited into the headquarters, and she had only just learned that Ye Ze was a Summoner.

However, it wasn't until the Mantis attacked that she realized... Ye Ze's Summoned Beast had more than just this level of strength.

The Mantis's blade flashed, and a white light streaked through the air, landing where Liu Anran had been.

But the latter instantly cast "Space Teleportation," dodging the fatal blow.

The ground was once again cleaved with a crack.

Such a scene rapidly occurred five or six times within two seconds, with both sides frequently flashing.

"No, his spatial movement is actually faster than mine!"

In the first few instances, Liu Anran, after being forced to teleport, still tried to cast skills to counterattack.

But the Mantis's Void Shuttle speed was faster than her Space Teleportation!

It forced her to teleport away again and again, completely unable to counterattack.

Moreover, she could feel that if she made even one mistake, she would likely be instantly killed!

"Something seems to be wrong!"

"Big Sister Anran is a Space-type Hidden Class, how could she be at a disadvantage against a Summoned Beast?"

Everyone grew worried.

The long-haired young man, Cold Maple, had a cold expression and spoke proudly:

"It's fine, it's my turn to act!"

In fact, with his strength, he would be more than enough to join Hua Zhong One.

But the reason he chose Hua Zhong Two was partly because he valued Liu Anran's Space Warlock ability.

On the other hand, it was because he valued Liu Anran...

Cold Maple's gaze swept over Ye Ze, and he spoke word by word:

"Armament, Apocalypse Battle Armor!"

Cold Maple waved his hands, and the core of the Battle Armor on his chest flickered with a cyan light.

The Battle Armor's various parts condensed from the core energy and assembled on Cold Maple's body: chest plate, shoulder pads, arm guards, and leg guards closed one after another, emitting crisp metallic clanging sounds.

In an instant, a two to three-meter-tall single-person Battle Armor appeared.

Cold Maple was completely covered by an azure-colored ability Battle Armor, radiating terrifying pressure far exceeding a Tier 1 class.

...

"So it's the rare branch class of the Mechanist, the Battle Armor Master!"

"At such a young age, to successfully pilot a Battle Armor that's at least epic-level Two Stars or higher, his future is boundless."

"No wonder even Hunter King Brother wasn't willing to bet!"

Inside the monitoring department, everyone couldn't help but praise him.

Mechanists and Battle Armor Masters, unlike other classes, derive their combat power primarily from weapons and Battle Armors.

Especially the latter, it's an extremely expensive class.

A set of Battle Armor often requires the precise ratio and forging of countless types of extraordinary metals, consuming an astonishing amount of wealth.

But once successfully piloted, the effects are also very significant.

"With this set of Apocalypse Battle Armor, Cold Maple can now fully contend with Tier 3s."

Hearing Wei Zheng's words, everyone nodded in anticipation.

But Wei Zheng himself showed no joy; instead, his expression was solemn...

He watched Liu Anran being continuously forced back by the Mantis and fell silent.

Initially, he actually thought that Liu Anran alone, with her Space Warlock abilities, would be enough to instantly kill her opponent.

But now, a single Summoned Beast was actually stronger than a Hidden Class's spatial abilities!

"What kind of race and type of Summoned Beast is this exactly?"

Even Wei Zheng, the Central China head, had never seen the abilities of Void Creatures.

For a moment, looking at the projection screen, Wei Zheng and Wan Feipeng both fell into silence...

...

And watching the battle between the two spatial ability users, Ye Ze himself was also a little surprised.

What surprised him was: Liu Anran's equipment was actually so good!

As fellow Space-type ability users, her attributes and skills were too far behind the Mantis's; theoretically, she should have been instantly killed in two exchanges.

But relying on seven epic-level Space-type pieces of equipment, she actually managed to hold on until now!

"As expected of someone the headquarters focuses on cultivating..."

Ye Ze couldn't help but smile.

Then his gaze drifted to Cold Maple, who was clad in Battle Armor and exuding an imposing aura, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional:

When he first learned about the Battle Armor Master class, he was very interested.

Who would refuse a set of Battle Armor?

However, an epic-level Battle Armor, not counting the rarity of materials, cost nearly 100 million!

Ye Ze immediately thought: Never mind.

As he was thinking, the 1.5-meter tall loli girl opposite him applied a very strong speed buff to Cold Maple.

The next moment, accompanied by the roar of the super-energy engine.

The Apocalypse Battle Armor suddenly ascended into the sky, and an invisible energy pressure diffused, causing the surrounding air to explode like a blast, with a conical cloud uniformly spreading out behind it.

"Whoosh—"

Even Cold Maple's teammates couldn't help but feel a bit of shock.

The Apocalypse Battle Armor, accompanied by a powerful storm, arrived before Ye Ze.

However, Cold Maple's first words made him feel speechless:

"What's your relationship with Liu Anran?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Ze's originally somewhat expectant expression instantly turned into a sigh.

"Giving you this Battle Armor is truly a waste..."

"Your teammates are buying you time, and you're wasting it saying this?"

Cold Maple's anger immediately flared up. "It seems you won't answer unless I cripple you."

After arming the Apocalypse Battle Armor, its strength, speed, energy, and everything else received enormous boosts, giving one a feeling of explosive combat power.

This surge in combat power gave Cold Maple the confidence to control everything.

"Boom!"

The roar of the Apocalypse Battle Armor's super-energy engine sounded again.

However, the next second...

What greeted him was a fist the size of a sandbag.

An uppercut!

"Bang—"

Cold Maple had actually reacted; he managed to meet the punch with all his strength in time.

However, this Apocalypse Battle Armor, comparable to a Tier 3, was as fragile as white paper before the Martial Saint Panda.

A punch imbued with "Martial Saint Aura" crushed one of the Battle Armor's arms, sending sparks flying, and smashed heavily into the Apocalypse Battle Armor's jaw.

Inside the Battle Armor, Cold Maple felt his vision go black.

The fault alarm for Battle Armor damage and a ringing in his ears intertwined endlessly.

If not for this epic-level Battle Armor, which cost nearly 100 million and offered decent protection, Cold Maple would already be outside the instance.

However, that wasn't all.

The Panda reached out, grabbed one of the Battle Armor's legs that had been sent flying, and slammed it fiercely onto the ground!

Accompanied by a series of metal-shattering sounds, the super-energy engine light beam at the Battle Armor's core suddenly extinguished.

Just two punches, and the Battle Armor was destroyed!

At this moment, not only the external monitoring department but also the two teammates of Hua Zhong Two felt their breathing catch...

This was the Apocalypse Battle Armor, comparable to a Tier 3!

In the Ancient Battlefield, even if it wasn't invincible, it was among the top few powerhouses, and it was crippled in just two punches?

Inside the monitoring department, everyone's pupils sharply contracted, their faces filled with horror:

"This Instructor... is he really below Tier 3?"

Even when the Panda instantly killed the previous few teams, they had never been so shocked.

Because in everyone's judgment, the Panda should have been a top-tier Tier 2 combatant, and instantly killing top-tier Tier 1 students was indeed reasonable.

But now...

You even instantly kill Tier 3 strength?

Isn't that going too far!

Among everyone's reactions, Wei Zheng's emotional fluctuations were surprisingly smaller.

Because when he saw the Mantis being able to deal with Liu Anran, he had vaguely felt that something was amiss!

Wan Feipeng immediately beamed with joy, almost as if he had won the lottery!

"Holy cow! Awesome!"

"Come on, Old Wei, let's bet!"

However, it was clear that no one would respond to Wan Feipeng anymore.

Everyone was completely focused on the projection.

...

The remaining three members of Hua Zhong Two, after a moment of daze, had no choice but to attempt a rescue.

They had originally thought Cold Maple was a sure thing and were preparing to help Liu Anran deal with the Mantis.

Now, it was even worse; he hadn't even lasted a single exchange!

Fortunately, because of Liu Anran's Space Teleportation ability, her teammates were all close-combat classes.

The remaining one male and two females, aside from one support, while not as strong as Liu Anran or Cold Maple, were still formidable in combat.

But the next moment...

"Boom—"

Before the two combat classes could act, a bolt of divine lightning struck first!

The 1.5-meter tall loli girl, who was a support class, turned pale, but at this moment, no one was there to protect her. In her desperation...

She turned her body into an illusory form, immune to any damage, and floated towards the sky like a balloon!

The other two didn't have such life-saving skills and could only endure the divine lightning with their equipment.

But this time, the little Fox, who was casting spells by waving her orb, had learned her lesson, moving all three of her tails.

"Boom—"

The second, third, and fourth bolts! Four consecutive bolts of divine lightning!

Each bolt dealt more damage than the previous one!

Let alone these two, even if two super-strong Shield Guards were swapped in, they would still be struck dead.

Their team originally had the ability to avoid it, but Liu Anran was being chased by the Mantis and was unable to help.

"Killed Trialists *2, gained experience +2000!"

"Ding! Your level has increased to: Level 15!"

"Talent—You have gained one 'Infinite Gold Perk' draw!"

On the other side of the battlefield.

The two spatial ability users continuously flashed in the air.

Hearing the rumbling sound of divine lightning, Liu Anran inexplicably felt something was wrong.

But she was already somewhat exhausted just dealing with the Mantis with her whole body and mind.

After a moment of hesitation, she concentrated most of her Mana and activated a class skill!

"Space Lockdown!"

In an instant, the small space where the Mantis was located was subjected to weak laws that prohibited displacement and prevented movement to other spaces.

The Mantis was locked by her in a specific space.

However, this skill, the reason she hadn't used it before, was because at her current class tier, it had a significant drawback...

She needed to fully expend her mental energy to maintain the law power of 'Space Lockdown'.

In other words, she and the Mantis were forced into a one-for-one exchange.

Furthermore, once Liu Anran's mental energy was exhausted, she would be completely defenseless once the Mantis emerged.

The current situation left her no choice but to entrust the chance of victory to her teammates.

Having controlled the Mantis, Liu Anran finally had time to catch her breath and silently looked in the direction of her teammates...

The next moment, her small face was uncharacteristically blank:

"Where are my teammates?"
