Chapter 352: Supersonic Close Combat Duel
After the optimization of the Black system, the dual-engine mode became the Second Tier posture of the Extreme Special Soldier.
In ancient languages, "Extreme Special Soldier" meant "Undead," so Mu Fan named it the Undead Second Tier posture.
The body of the Extreme Special Soldier leaned forward.
In less than 0.1 seconds, the tail flame surged from merely half a meter to nearly 3 meters with a boom!
The ground beneath the Mecha's feet seemed to be struck by a meteor, creating a huge sinkhole.
Stones exploded all around, and dust shrouded the land.
"My God! Is that still the power of that Mecha?"
"Where's the Mecha? The noise is too loud. Why choose such terrain? The dust is blocking everything, I can't see the Mecha at all."
"I also can't see... Holy crap!"
A dark shadow burst forth, carrying the momentum of heaven and earth.
The orange glow lit up in the Mecha's eyes, and that metal heavy sword still dragged on the ground.
No, it was cutting through the ground!
That heavy sword ploughed a huge trench beside the Mecha's body, and the trench started to extend rapidly as the Mecha charged furiously!
The Mecha's combat, showcased in this naturally formed environment, revealed a stunning beauty.
A red and a black figure charged directly towards each other.
In the over twenty square kilometers of the basin, these two tiny figures created an astonishing presence.
Mu Fan's eyes burned with the desire to battle; he clenched his teeth and, enduring the intense pain in his shoulder, raised his left hand in front of him, then pressed his body down further.
The heavily armored Extreme Special Soldier now seemed like a Heavy Knight charging forward with an Alloy Heavy Sword, leaving the audience utterly dumbstruck.
"Speed surpasses 2 Mach!"
"Speed surpasses 3 Mach!"
"Speed surpasses 4 Mach! My God..."
"They're going to collide!"
The pilot of the Gale Gladiator, Shi Wuyi, had a murderous gleam in his eyes.
"Is that the best you can do with your speed? Then it seems, it's definitely not enough."
Gale Engine, Second-stage acceleration!
The command was given, and the ninth-generation Gale Engine on the back of the Gale Gladiator, originally spouting over 2 meters of white tail flame, suddenly began to change color.
A hint of blood-red appeared at the core of the flame.
"You're dealing with a prototype, the true peak power of the ninth-generation engine. Let me properly teach you a lesson."
Boom!
"That Gale... His, his, his speed has exceeded 7 Mach!"
The monitoring staff in the control room shouted excitedly, even stuttering.
The blonde man with glasses on the main platform of the Sky Mother Ship, upon hearing the control room's commentary,
raised his microphone high and then announced with an exhilarating voice, "Field 37 is bringing everyone such a spectacular duel in the opening match! Shocking, shocking! Will the Red War God win, or will the Black Killing God have the last laugh? Let's send them our loudest cheers and wait and see!"
The venue instantly erupted with a huge cheer.
"Speeding up again?!"
Even such a huge terrain, under the state of multiple times the speed of sound sprint by both parties, was about to collide in just the blink of an eye.
Inside the protective shield of Arabella Weapons Company, Zhang Zeyi, a middle-aged man wearing plain glasses, his face flushed with excitement.
"Fierce Light Slash! Yes, that's right, only Lieutenant Colonel Shi can fully utilize the performance of this Mecha Body. Slice that Mecha to pieces!"
He was about to witness Arabella's glory in such a formal and important occasion, how could he not be thrilled?
For Shi Wuyi, his task was simple—strike through the Mecha's cockpit with the force of thunder and instantly kill the Mechanical Master inside, thus completing his mission.
The temptation of a Colonel's rank, for someone with abilities yet stuck in the position of Lieutenant Colonel for ten years, was too strong to resist even if it was poison he had to swallow.
He could no longer wait.
So...
The Michael Particle Light Blades instantly retracted to either side, forming two dazzling Light Wheels, and at the moment of imminent clash, they fiercely charged toward the Extreme Special Soldier.
Mu Fan's eyes gleamed with a bloody light, and under the Blood-colored world state, his dynamic vision and combat instincts were significantly enhanced.
Perfect timing!
His left shoulder wound burst open, and his hands instantly broke free from the Coordination Device, transforming into a blur of afterimages.
The intense pain only made Mu Fan more frenzied and swift.
The keystrokes became dense in an instant, and waves seemed to surge up one after another...
At a state of Mach 4, the mecha maneuvering rapidly for direction changes had become a luxury, especially in such a basin surrounded with rocky cliffs—it was utterly impossible.
Once the body couldn't withstand the intense centrifugal force or if there occurred any problem with the angle of change.
Then, there would be only one outcome—the supersonic mecha would crash into the rocks...
Both mecha and man would be destroyed.
However, in this world, there was a skill that could perform this inconceivable scene.
Console, dance for me.
An unbelievable miracle, conjectured by Soglier—
Arc Light Step Forward Slash!
As the young man's shoulder wound burst, a series of divine-like commands appeared on the console.
Then, in a charging state, the Extreme Special Soldier raised his sword fiercely upwards and then slammed it down hard.
Boom, boom, boom!
Countless rocks shattered, and smoke and dust once again enveloped the area.
A black and a red crossed paths.
The fiery red silhouette, a bright white light wheel flashed past.
In the blink of an eye, a black lightning tore through space.
Boom!
Behind Mu Fan, the cliff instantly exploded, creating a terrifying crack tens of meters high.
"Is he dead?…"
Some people, witnessing this explosive scene, rose excitedly to smack their chests, while others murmured to themselves.
That violent light wheel had merely flickered by, and the dust it brought up soon shrouded the area.
This caused countless spectators focusing there to curse out loud.
Why can't we see anything at the critical moment!
Didn't it hit, and moreover, the light wheel even broke through to the back and even cut the massive rock wall into a terrifying tens of meters long crack.
Shouldn't that mecha be torn apart?
"No, the Extreme Special Soldier is intact, did everyone see that?! My God, how did he do it?" Rachel's spicy voice couldn't hide her astonishment as she drew people's attention.
The dust came fast and left swiftly, on the ground a spider-web-like cracked trace, in that "spider-web's" core part, lay the dull Acabert Alloy Heavy Sword.
This heavy sword was held in an iron palm, and its owner was stooping there unhurt.
From a high vantage point downwards, there was a huge arc-shaped mark on the ground behind that mecha.
"He's actually unscathed!"
"How did he do it?"
"I want to see the slow-motion replay."
"Shut the hell up, watch your damn slow replay; the red mecha's attack isn't over yet."
A few groups of heated spectators began arguing in the stands.
It wasn't over yet!
Because the intersecting gigantic light wheel, after cutting a huge trench into the rock wall, continued its course unabated as if it had escaped planetary gravity, taking off along the circular rock wall.
That 7 Mach Gale Gladiator wasn't slowing down at all, but was instead accelerating further?
"So terrifying!"
"The first match is already making my heart suffocate?"
Shi Wuyi stared at the combat screen showing the black mecha, which stood stooped with its back towards him, his eyes filled with a bloodthirsty desire!
"Although I don't know how you just dodged it, taste this mecha's unique move next!"
The prototype's true exclusive skill, piercing everything!
— Gale Piercing!
