Chapter 501: Chapter 276: Where the Blade Points (1st Update)

(Congratulations to the new helmsman “Blood in the Glazed Moon”!)

When that fiery red ignited, Mu Fan grasped the hilt with both hands.

First, he raised it high and then thrust it fiercely!

The sequence of movements was as smooth as flowing clouds and water, seemingly slow but actually fast, with no moment of pause from the halt to the draw and thrust.

Moreover, all the actions were completed before Ding Cheng could even react.

The Hot Melt Saber, radiating extreme heat, plunged in without reservation through the side of the engine, avoiding the high-temperature engine flame mouth, and then, the Assault Warrior Mecha finally showcased the formidable power of its signature weapon.

The tip of the saber, glowing like magma, pierced through the belly of the mecha—penetrating Ding Cheng’s Deep Blue Guardian right through the cockpit!

The Hot Melt Saber was withdrawn, and the Assault Warrior’s Mecha exploded with a boom behind!

“Boom!”

The burst of fireworks instantly attracted nearly everyone’s attention both inside and outside the arena.

“How, how, how is this possible!”

“Damn, my eyes, guys come see—it’s like seeing God!”

“Oh shit, was that dude pretending to fall just now?”

“God, that mecha looks so cool! It gave me goosebumps all over, I want to cry.”

“I want to cry kneeling.”

“… I want to ask who this is?”

Suddenly, a timid voice joined in, causing the excited howling to pause abruptly, then restart frenziedly.

“Yeah, who is this! Beauty, hurry and explain, who is number 04 Mecha after all, it was explosive.”

And White Hair scratched his chin, admiringly saying, “Damn cunning, hidden until now, simply invincible.”

Hearing the excited uproar from the audience, Rachel’s originally low voice started to rise with excitement: “Who exactly is this number 04 trainee, which freshman!? Now I’m just as curious, let me check! This is… a first-year freshman from Mecha Academy, Mu Fan?”

“My god, can a freshman really do this!”

At Rachel’s exclamation, White Hair, scratching his chin, shouted out loud, “Holy shit!”

Meanwhile, Gu Yunyou, who was drinking coffee, spat it out abruptly, soaking White Hair’s back.

“It wasn’t intentional, I really didn’t mean it.”

White Hair sent back a resentful look, “Though I’m shocked too, sadly, I wasn’t drinking anything.”

Li Xiaoxi stammered, “Really? It’s really Mu Fan?”

“No wonder it’s so freaky, haha, wait until the other side sees a fool, I don’t need to enter the fray anymore, just sitting here enjoying the show.”

White Hair couldn’t continue because on the screen, Mu Fan’s Mecha was starting to move again.

A one-hit kill, without dragging it out.

Standing in a corner, the Silver Blue Hunter, which had originally held its giant spear across its chest, suddenly spun it vertically in front of it, the silver Mecha took a step forward and half-bowed, adopting a defensive stance targeting Mu Fan.

King against king, this was what Shang Qianxin had personally stated, but the sudden variation now made him sense an unusual aura!

How exactly was that instant’s movement completed?

If it were a human body, it would be absolutely impossible to execute that kind of arched sudden charge, with the entire Mecha Body in mid-air, how exactly did it perform the arched change of direction!

The ghostly silhouette from the side view seemed to pass through the Deep Blue Guardian as if it had no substance.

“Be careful, trainee number 04, this guy is an expert.”

Having spoken out, Shang Qianxin had only one condition for taking action, which was that all four of his side’s Deep Blue Guardians must be utterly defeated.

His pride wouldn’t allow him to step in now!

Shang Qianxin’s warning led the three Mechas to lock their target on Mu Fan.

And the successfully striking Assault Warrior accelerated again, heading straight for… Herman!

“Herman, be careful, that kid just dodged my blade wheel; he’s coming for you now.”

Herman, sniping in a corner, scoffed, “Don’t worry, he can’t get through!”

The Gauss Rifle, after a spin, was held up by one arm, the left arm serving as the sniping support, aiming at the charging Mecha.

“Taste my Satellite Sniping.”

As he said this, the other two relaxed.

Herman’s Satellite Sniping Gun Skill used the Mechanical Master’s rich experience and superb handling skills for precise strikes, akin to satellite positioning, with the most crucial aspect being the ability to perform accurate predictive shooting.

Last time he fired four shots to burst the eyes of four Mecha Bodies; this time, he fired seven consecutive shots in sequence.

The muzzle of the Gauss Rifle was dazzling at this moment, with metal bullets trailing seven different trajectories of blue arc light!

The crowd watching here tensed up once again!

But in that instant, Mu Fan’s hands became a blur, and the entire Mecha Body turned elusive.

The next second, just as he was about to leap forward, his figure sharply twisted and began to change direction irregularly.

The first bullet from Herman missed!

After running a few steps and clearly about to jump the next second, he suddenly turned back again, causing the second bullet to miss as well!

The crimson figure of the Assault Warrior barely dodged the blue arcs of light each time.

“It’s… the Chaotic Zigzag Step!”

Shang Qianxin from the Silver Blue Hunter finally showed a shocked expression.

“How could a skill from the fantasy battle zone appear here, how could it!” Rachel even forgot to commentate, clearly in a real battle zone at Dingchuan Academy’s Fog-level Fortress.

“Has that Mecha ended up in the wrong zone, it definitely has!” A male student suddenly exclaimed excitedly; now only this explanation could make sense.

“God scatters wisdom to mankind, yet you opened an umbrella,” White Hair said morosely as he turned his face.

“A brain is a good thing; remember to bring it next time out.”

“Damn!”

On the control panel in front of Mu Fan, keys were rapidly pressed and released, creating a wave!

His eyes calmly focused on the Mecha continuously firing ahead.

Distance 100 meters, 80 meters, 50 meters…

“Now!”

Like the climax of fluttering notes in each measure of a piano piece, Mu Fan’s arms turned into blurs, countless commands began generating, and he rapidly hit that familiar combination of keys once again!

50 meters away, a saber breakthrough!

—Arc Light Step Forward Slash!

Great inertia kept coming from the side, but inside the cockpit, Mu Fan’s figure didn’t move an inch.

The crimson figure, with a scorching aura, appeared beside Herman incredulously as if defying the laws of physics.

The blade of the Hot Melt Saber accurately fell on the muzzle of the Gauss Rifle.

A smirk hung at the corner of his mouth.

A C-type arc flash passed, and Mu Fan rounded half-circle from the left side to the right of the remote Deep Blue Guardian.

Hiss, the Mecha retracted the saber and rose.

A flash of fire appeared, a straight line from the muzzle of the Gauss Rifle, and Herman’s Mecha’s upper body thunderously fell to the ground.

Split in two!

The crimson Assault Warrior stood upright, the saber raised high then slowly leveled, gently swinging; the Mecha’s head turned following the direction of the blade tip.

The blade tip pointed directly at Shang Qianxin!

The silent “Trainee 04” at that moment, directly raised his sword toward Pulan’s Spear, Shang Qianxin, to provoke him!

The whole venue was shocked!

The entire place fell silent!

Valentin and Xu Keli, who were slaughtering the Dingchuan freshmen, stopped their actions and turned their Mechas toward Mu Fan.

Isn’t this the freshman they just interviewed!

Finally remembering him, they saw the scene on the screen.

Lange, trying to sneakily light a cigarette, trembled, and the unlit cigarette in his left hand dropped the freshly ignited lighter straight into his crotch.

“Shit shit shit.”

It was unclear whether he was exclaiming about the insane freshman or his lighter, but Lange desperately patted his crotch.

White Hair, at this moment, listlessly took his hand off his chin as Mu Fan faced him with a raised sword.

He remembered Mu Fan had similar actions only three times in his memory.

With a slight flare of his nostrils, White Hair murmured:

“This time it’s really thrilling…”
