Resurrection Empire

With his current attire, in a real life-and-death struggle, he probably couldn't even break through Ma Xiaoling's defense, let alone penetrate the weak spots of her armor.

Ren Zhong was truly experiencing the absolute crushing advantage that comes with better equipment materials in a "closely matched" confrontation.

In the blink of an eye, the two, activating both the medium engine and anti-gravity engine, were entangled in a fight, flipping and flying around in a dizzying spectacle.

Thus, a bizarre scene unfolded on the field.

Ren Zhong had higher power and appeared more formidable in combat, but he was undeniably at a disadvantage.

Ma Xiaoling had clearly activated her Sixth Sense, consistently maneuvering her snake-tongue-like Big Gun to bypass Ren Zhong's defense, either lashing or directly stabbing him.

Yujin, Zheng Tian, and others watching near the Qingfeng Heavy Truck were on edge.

Zheng Tian murmured softly, "This fight is too intense, every move fatal! Something's off! Captain Ma looks like she really wants to kill Brother Ren."

Just as she said that, Zheng Tian caught a glimpse of Yujin quietly pulling out his Fang Heavy Sniper, ready to aim it at Ma Xiaoling in the distance.

She quickly intervened, "Yujin, don't be impulsive! Trust Brother Ren! He always has everything under control!"

With so many eyes around, Zheng Tian couldn't reveal the truth outright, so she could only hint at it like this.

Yujin hesitated for a long time, ultimately putting his gun away silently.

Ren Zhong had been trying to send a message to Ma Xiaoling, to tell her it was just nonsense before.

But after being blacklisted by her, all his messages vanished without a trace.

He even wanted to shout it out loud, but it wasn't convenient.

Finally, Ren Zhong got truly fired up in the fight.

He shouted, "Don't push it too far!"

Ma Xiaoling stepped back slightly, teeth clenched, tears in her eyes, angrily pointing at Ren Zhong.

"You're the one pushing it too far! How dare you treat me like this! I must kill you today and then kill myself!"

With that, she charged again.

Her acting was so convincing, Ren Zhong was almost confused about what was real.

Having no other choice, he opted for his final move.

The fully automated combat program he spent the entire afternoon coding — activate!

In the previous timeline, Ren Zhong had nearly thirty sparring sessions with Ma Xiaoling in Virtual Reality, and seven or eight in real combat.

Ren Zhong had of course deliberately studied and learned Ma Xiaoling's fighting style.

In a sense, he understood her even better than she understood herself.

Good thing, even though his equipment was still inferior, he used the intermittent management formula to play a role infinitely close to the Sixth Sense, slightly leveling the playing field.

The two fought for nearly half an hour.

In the end, Ren Zhong still fell.

Though defeated, he was yet honorable.

He might have felt hurt, but the people of Starfire Town were all in awe.

Yang Bingzhong and Ma Dafu exchanged surprised glances, each delighted.

They never expected someone from the town could last so long under Ma Xiaoling's gun.

Even though Ma Xiaoling had reduced her power, Ren Zhong was using third-level equipment against Ma Xiaoling's top-level official improved fourth-level equipment!

It's worth noting that Ren Zhong had only become a Mechanical Warrior for just over forty days!

What an incredible talent!

Of course, he was truly severely injured as well.

His entire equipment had over 80% damage, with more than twenty puncture wounds and over forty lashes on his body.

He had multiple severe soft tissue bruises, and internal organs were seriously displaced.

He looked as if bloodied all over, in an extremely tragic state.

Thankfully Sun Miao was still in town, otherwise Ren Zhong felt he would have either died or been incapacitated.

The frustrating thing was, Ma Xiaoling had been hit quite a few times as well, but was almost unharmed.

She flicked away Ren Zhong's damaged helmet with her long gun, the tip pointing directly at his nose.

Ren Zhong looked at her speechlessly.

Behind her, Ma Dafu and Yang Bingzhong had already appeared side by side.

Tang Shuying and other fourth-level professionals were also around, seemingly ready to intervene at any moment.

Ma Xiaoling suddenly lifted her long gun, stabbing it fiercely into the sand beside Ren Zhong's face, and then drew a line with a swoosh.

Ma Xiaoling: "From now on, we sever all ties! If you dare to appear in front of me again, I'll hit you every time I see you!"

Ren Zhong: "..."

"Go live your life with those cheap tramps of yours! I advise you to treasure your few remaining days! When you reach the fourth level, I'll show you my true strength. By then, you better at least be able to contend with me like this to give me a satisfying fight, only then will I spare your life. Dare to toy with my emotions? I'll make you live in fear forever! Until death!"

With that, Ma Xiaoling turned and left.

Finally, Ren Zhong's communication device buzzed with her message.

"Ren the trash man, how was my acting? Did I nail it?"

Ren Zhong: "..."

After a long while, he sent a message back, "You were too deep into the role!"

"That's because you treated me like that! Just giving you a beating, I've already shown empathy! If not for waiting for you to take the wildlings away, and our past decent connection, I would have truly killed you!"

"It was all fake! Didn't we agree that I would just help you to get into character! I just made up a story! How could you believe it!"

Ma Xiaoling: "Uh…"

"Would you believe me if I said I was a Pu Cha officer too?"

Ma Xiaoling: "Really? That would be great."

Ren Zhong: "..."

I'm speechless.

A long time passed.

Meanwhile, Ma Dafu was urgently trying to distance himself from Ren Zhong, even threatening to revoke his temporary spot.

Yang Bingzhong, on the other hand, was arguing proudly, claiming that his professional team captain had immunity.

Finally, Ma Xiaoling sent Ren Zhong a lingering message, "Sorry. I got emotional when I first heard you say that and forgot. Are you really not a Pu Cha officer? You kind of seem like one."

"I'm not! Really not!"

Ren Zhong sighed deeply towards the sky.

This is toxic.

I'm tired.

Let's end it.

Quickly.
