Chapter 413 The Real Test!
This Octopus Monster was covered in a shell made of special metal, its hardness far exceeding that of an Armor Monster. Until now, only the astonishing firepower of a Space Mecha's ship-borne cannon had been able to breach its defenses!
Yet, against such terrifying defense, a fist was undoubtedly like throwing an egg against a rock; it simply couldn't break through!
Naturally, the Octopus Monster would not sit idly by and let Su Chen attack it.
It suddenly spewed hundreds of laser beams from its massive mouth, like a swarm of angry fire snakes, blasting straight toward Su Chen!
The dazzling light dyed the surrounding sky a deep red.
Seeing this, Elder Zhao's heart skipped a beat, and a sense of foreboding welled up in his heart. He thought:
"It's over!"
Before that fist could even land on the monster's head, Su Chen might be blasted to death by the Octopus Monster's Particle Laser Cannon.
They were well aware of the power of the Octopus Monster's Particle Laser Cannon; it was even more destructive than the plasma released by the Armor Monster!
Once hit, forget about flesh and blood; even steel would be instantly melted, and Su Chen would surely perish on the spot.
Su Chen, currently in the air, was not equipped with rocket propulsion. Facing such a dense attack, he had no way to turn or dodge. Was he destined to just take the hits passively?
Furthermore, even if the second-generation mecha suit had super-strong defensive capabilities, could it withstand dozens of Particle Laser Cannon blasts just because it might handle one?
Everyone's hearts were in their throats, and they were so nervous they could barely breathe.
In the castle, Caesar saw this scene, a cold sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth as he said contemptuously:
"You arrogant fool, you've chosen the wrong opponent."
However, the very next second, his previously contemptuous expression instantly froze. He suddenly frowned, a flash of astonishment crossing his eyes.
Su Chen, in the air, facing the dozens of Particle Laser Cannon blasts that were like lethal meteors, suddenly moved in the critical moment just before impact.
Su Chen punched violently into empty space. This punch contained immense power, like a small bomb detonating, and the resulting massive thrust pushed him directly to the side.
It was as if an invisible pair of hands had pulled him away from Death's scythe at the critical moment, allowing Su Chen to perfectly dodge the Particle Laser Cannon attack.
Seeing this, Caesar stood up abruptly, his face full of shock and anger, and he couldn't help but curse:
"Damn it! What kind of maneuver is that?"
"Do the laws of physics simply not apply to him?"
Having dodged the Particle Laser Cannon blasts, Su Chen was now only a few meters away from the Octopus Monster's head, with the massive beast right beneath his feet.
Without a moment's hesitation, Su Chen raised his fist high again. His fist shimmered with a strange light, as if it had gathered the power of heaven and earth, and then, like a cannonball, he smashed it fiercely toward the Octopus Monster's head.
In an instant, a massive explosion erupted. The intense light was as dazzling as the sun, and the deafening roar seemed like it would shatter the entire world.
Su Chen was also sent flying by the powerful recoil. Just as everyone thought he was going to fall, that light sword seemed to have a life of its own; it quickly moved beneath him and caught him steadily.
At this moment, everyone was stunned by the scene, as if time itself had stopped flowing.
The power of that punch just now was truly terrifying, leaving everyone deeply shocked.
Elder Qin's voice trembled as he stammered, "Could it be..."
"Could it be..."
Elder Zhao also widened his eyes and exclaimed:
"What a terrifying punch!"
"It couldn't possibly actually smash the Octopus Monster's head, could it?!"
"If that's really the case, it's just too terrifying."
The explosion created a massive cloud of smoke, like a thick dark cloud, shrouding the battlefield.
Above the smoke, Su Chen stood on the light sword in the air, like a war god from a mythical world, waiting quietly.
As the smoke gradually dispersed, the Octopus Monster was still standing in the air.
Everyone looked closely and saw that there was a crack on the head where Su Chen's fist had struck, yet the head had not shattered.
Seeing this, everyone was stunned.
Although their tense anticipation had come to nothing, no one was disappointed.
In their view, this was normal!
"It didn't explode. As expected, the Octopus Monster's head is still too hard."
"Unless Chief Su's fist reaches the power of a ship-borne cannon, it simply can't breach the defense."
"And what power a ship-borne cannon has—comparable to a nuclear bomb. If a human fist could unleash the power of a nuclear bomb, it would be truly insane."
Someone couldn't help but mutter to themselves.
Su Chen, however, was not discouraged in the slightest; instead, he grinned and said loudly:
"Hahaha, just as I expected, it can't be pierced!"
It turned out that he had just wanted to test the power of his punch to see if he could break through the Octopus Monster's defense. The result was exactly as he had thought: with his current strength, he still couldn't completely smash the Octopus Monster's head.
Seeing this, Caesar snorted coldly and said disdainfully:
"Is that all you've got?"
"I thought you really had great combat power, but it seems you're nothing special."
Mr. L, standing to the side, breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he had experienced the power and caution of the Dragon Kingdom!
In his view, since the Dragon Kingdom dared to let Su Chen use his fists to deal with the Octopus Monster under his command, named Kasmo, they must have come prepared!
Perhaps they could even truly smash it to pieces.
Now, seeing that the Octopus Monster had not suffered a fatal injury, he rejoiced:
"It's a good thing it was just a false alarm. After all, Kasmo is our top combat force!"
But just as he breathed that sigh of relief, his gaze seemed to be caught by something, and the expression on his face instantly froze!
It seemed he had seen something unbelievable and was instantly startled.
...
"Little Chen, the test should be over now. Come back quickly; we need to retreat."
Elder Qin finally managed to recover from the aftermath of Su Chen's shocking punch and shouted anxiously into the communication device!
The situation was extremely critical, and they had to take Su Chen away from this dangerous place as soon as possible.
However, Su Chen responded in a firm tone:
"The test has only just begun."
Elder Qin and Elder Zhao were both stunned, their faces full of confusion and bewilderment.
Elder Zhao couldn't help but ask: "What else do you need to test?"
Su Chen raised his finger and pointed at the light sword beneath his feet, his eyes revealing confidence and excitement as he said:
"Naturally, the true combat power of the Second-Generation Mecha."
The two men's expressions immediately tightened, their hearts filled with doubt, and they asked in unison:
"What do you mean?"
"So, the battles just now weren't the true combat power of the Second-Generation Mecha?"
