Chapter 618: Chapter 391 V-shaped Saber (Two Chapters Combined)

(This chapter is 4,800 characters long; two chapters combined.)

The Extreme Special Soldier was continually making minor adjustments along the planned route, trying its best to avoid unnecessary combat without straying from the overall direction.

Mu Fan’s purpose in participating in this race was simple, firstly to make a name for Loki Heavy Industry, and secondly to utterly crush Lan Du Military Group’s ambition of entering the top 36.

The former goal had already been greatly exceeded, with the powerful drive of the Meteor 3 engine and the stunning debut of Flame Rain Frost Blue, the reputation of the Extreme Special Soldier now far surpassed its A-grade evaluation standard. The popularity of Loki Heavy Industry had far exceeded what Wang Nuonuo and he had anticipated.

Now, the latter goal was also about to be accomplished, as their opponent was left with only one Mecha Body—the Sky-splitting Bird.

Once it was crushed, Mu Fan could proceed with the next steps of his plan without any concerns.

Driving prey slowly into endless fear was simply the cruelest act in the world.

“Distance to Throne 19 is 180 kilometers, 175 kilometers, 160 kilometers…”

Distance alerts continuously sounded in the cockpit, and Mu Fan had already scanned four nearby Mecha Bodies along the way.

Fortunately, he hadn’t encountered opponents with a strong desire for battle; everyone seemed to be rushing towards the throne in haste.

Before competing for the throne, it was crucial to ensure the integrity of their own Mecha Body.

After all, only a few were madmen!

Mu Fan glanced at the combat screen, noticing three red dots appearing to his right front.

What’s this?

Frowning briefly before relaxing, it was unlikely that the three Mecha Bodies were together.

Never the twain shall meet!

The Mecha Body slightly adjusted its direction to marginally increase the distance between them.

A thick forest 300 meters away horizontally was enough to completely block optical lenses.

The Extreme Special Soldier did not slow down at all as it plunged into the dense woods.

Seconds ticked by—one, two—Mu Fan often swept his eyes over the radar dial, noticing that two of the red dots were continuously moving towards the third, understanding their intent.

It seemed two Mecha Bodies were jointly attacking another.

Mu Fan completely relaxed, no longer focusing on them, and turned his attention forward.

“Black, maintain standard vigilance.”

The Extreme Special Soldier morphed into a ghostly figure and began navigating through the vast, dense rainforest.

When the Extreme Special Soldier appeared, the three Mecha Bodies naturally saw it too, but seeing that the suddenly approaching red dot was passing swiftly by without decreasing its speed, they, too, relaxed.

Qi Fire Military Industry’s two Mecha Bodies were reassured, as for Macka, he had no longer the heart to care.

Escape first; if that fails…

If that fails, he would surrender.

His heart bleeding, Macka’s eyes turned to the button placed beside him in the cockpit, overwhelmed by a surge of humiliation.

Meanwhile, a conversation from earlier appeared between them.

“Southern Country Industry… let me take control!”

After hearing the opponent finish, Macka felt fury but helpless, still having to maintain the Original Crystal Force Field to fend off the relentless attacks from the two Mecha Bodies.

These words spread clearly from the light brown Mecha’s speakers and echoed outwards.

Mu Fan, who had not chosen to block close-range communications, clearly heard this statement in the cockpit.

“Southern…Country Industry.”

As these four words hit his ears, the roaring engine of the Extreme Special Soldier suddenly began to shut down, and the entire Mecha Body semi-bowed, sliding over fifty meters before finally stopping.

The image of a young man with golden curls finally appeared in Mu Fan’s mind.

The agreement with Southern Country Industry before the race also resurfaced in his thoughts.

A peculiar expression appeared…

Could it really be such a coincidence?

However, since they had already heard, they couldn’t leave no matter what.

The black Extreme Special Soldier slowly turned before facing the direction of the three Mechas, the two engines in Second Tier stance generating powerful surges as the entire Mecha body charged forward without looking back.

Hmm?

When the radar alarm sounded, and they saw the red dot that had abruptly stopped and changed direction on the light screen.

All three of them showed expressions of astonishment.

Was there really another Mecha coming to join in under these circumstances?

The two Mechas from Qi Fire Military Industry simultaneously halted their attacks, positioned themselves at an angle, and blocked every escape route of the Original Crystal Warrior, then the Mechas maintained a highly alert posture to see who this Mecha was.

The Original Crystal Warrior, Macka, felt a sigh of relief seeing the two Mechas ceasing their attack, finally having a moment to breathe under immense pressure.

The Original Crystal Force Field began to slowly recover, watching the energy indicator that was no longer decreasing, Macka quietly prayed that the newcomer would complicate the situation.

As long as one Mecha got distracted, he could escape from here.

The trio’s gaze shifted to the nearby dense forest.

Rustling noises came out, and a shadow emerged vaguely from the forest, soon becoming clearer, and when the black shell was fully visible under the constant stellar light, the Mecha holding a long spear finally revealed itself.

Its body was covered with large patches of cooled brown molten rock, while its joints and lower mid-section revealed their original appearance, a dim black.

At first glance, this Mecha looked like it had just crawled out of the mud, the most striking part being the spear in its hand that resembled a living creature, with an alternating aura of ice and fire moving around it.

The head of this Mecha was staring straight at the three Mechas.

Mu Fan squinted his eyes, his gaze locked on the three Mechas in front of him, and Black had promptly relayed the information to him.

“The two Mechas in parallel positions in front are from Qi Fire Military Industry. The orange-red Heavy Mecha ‘Molten Rock Heavy Strike,’ rated AA, is extremely tough with regenerative molten rock armor and a super-dense metal Heavy Hammer in its hand. The light brown shooting-type Mecha ‘Thunderfire Storm,’ rated AAA, features a controllable electromagnetic storm that can strike over obstacles and directly damage the Mechanical Master within the cockpit.”

Qi Fire Military Industry, the identities of these two Mechas are clear, then the third?

“The silver Mecha near the lake is ‘Original Crystal Warrior,’ rated AAA, belonging to Southern Country Industry with Mechanical Master Macka. It features a unique Original Crystal Force Field and a formable ion field which can provide 360° defense, its defensive capability peaks among Warrior-class Mechas, even stronger than some individual S-tier Mechas.”

Mu Fan’s gaze skipped those two Mechas, large and small, and looked at the silver Mecha standing with arms outstretched inside.

So this is the Mecha of the young owner of Southern Country Industry?

Looking at the situation on the field, Mu Fan had a plan in mind, also marveling internally at the quirk of fate.

Macka must have encountered an ambush by two Mechas, but unexpectedly ran into him.

In that case, could the agreement before the competition be fulfilled now…

“Hey there, friend, it’s best to move away if you’re uninvolved, this is a private grudge of Qi Fire Military Industry. If you stay and get involved, it won’t be good,” Thunderfire Storm Mecha turned to the Extreme Special Soldier, issuing a warning from the head.

The Extreme Special Soldier remained unmoved, maintaining a regular standing posture, with the long spear in hand not moving an inch.

“Looks like you’re planning to meddle?”

Seeing this stance, the pilot of Thunderfire Storm was already furious, this Mecha had never appeared in their pre-competition tally of AAA-level and above Mechas.

Since when could a Mecha not rated 3A have such boldness?

If it’s seeking death, then don’t blame him for being merciless.

Original Crystal Warrior, Macka, seeing this figure was startled at first, then followed by a moment of incredulous jubilation.

Even covered with a thick layer of rock, the plain appearance of this Mecha’s body, and that dazzling long spear in its hand, he remembered vividly!

This was the biggest dark horse he had accidentally discovered, Loki Heavy Industry—Extreme Special Soldier!

Moreover, this Mecha had promised an alliance with Southern Country Industry following his special invitation last time.

Regarding the terms of that alliance, after its stunning debut against Flame Rain Frost Blue, it came naturally into effect.

Recalling those previous scenes and seeing the silently standing black Mecha in front of him, Macka tentatively spoke through the speaker, “Loki Heavy Industry… Mu Fan?”

“Hmm. Do you need help?”

Mu Fan’s calm voice emanated from the Extreme Special Soldier, and upon hearing these words, Macka’s excitement was no longer containable.

As the young helmsman of a large corporation, Macka had yet to experience the feeling of being saved from a desperate situation, but upon hearing Mu Fan’s voice, the feeling of rainfall after a long drought must be just like this.

The excitement in his language was as if he had encountered someone he had lost touch with for many years; Mu Fan’s originally stubborn and proud image was suddenly immensely elevated in his mind, now akin to a giant!

“I need it, I need it! Just to hold off a Mecha would suffice.”

At this moment, Mu Fan was like his kin!

“Okay.”

Mu Fan’s voice, filtered through the speaker, was devoid of any fluctuation, merely a simple monosyllabic word.

But when he had finished speaking, the Extreme Special Soldier slowly bowed, holding the long spear by his side, his left arm raised, his palm aimed at the two Mechas in front.

Actions always spoke louder than words!

Mu Fan had already made his stance clear through his actions.

Huh?!

The Thunder Fire War God abruptly turned to face the Original Crystal Warrior, then looked again at the Extreme Special Soldier, a cold sneer issuing forth,

“Part of the same group? This is really… interesting. Loki Heavy Industry, never heard of it, probably a low-level power that just entered the scene this year?”

The Mecha’s hands slightly lifted, a cold voice emanating from the head, “Noggo, since that’s the case, keep this friend here. Poking your nose into others’ business requires the readiness to sacrifice yourself.”

A dull reply came from the other Molten Rock Heavy Strike Mecha: “Hmm.”

Also a simple word.

The heavy orange-red Mecha dragged its Super Heavy Warhammer slowly forward.

The terrifying hammerhead, over four meters in diameter, dragged a deep groove in the soil by the lakeside.

Seeing this AA-level Mecha move away, Macka breathed a sigh of relief!

His Mecha’s unique ability was perfectly suited to counter the penetrating attacks of the Thunder Fire War God, whereas that AA-level Molten Rock Heavy Strike posed a terrifying destructive threat to his Mecha.

Each strike drained the Original Crystal Force Field energy significantly, making his heart pound.

However, thinking of this, Macka suddenly worried for Mu Fan, unable to communicate directly between Mechas, his voice only transmitted through the speaker,

“Mu Fan, you just need to hold it off, this Mecha has strong and wide-ranging attacks, don’t take it head-on. Once I handle things here, I’ll come to help you.”

“Okay.” Still a calm single word.

The words Macka spoke and the Extreme Special Soldier’s indifferent demeanor managed to practically make the Thunder Fire War God’s pilot laugh in spite.

“Big talker, do you think you can withstand my Thunder Fire War God’s assault? And you, Noggo, quickly smash that crappy Mecha to bits, then come deal with this turtle shell.”

Arms raised high, shoulders suddenly ejecting twin Array Cannons.

Soosh soosh whoosh whoosh, countless electromagnetic wave bombs combined with two brilliant plasma beams fiercely shot out.

The Original Crystal Warrior clasped its hands together and pushed vigorously, erecting a heavy, invisible force field wall in front.

The wall immediately displayed violent explosions and terrifying cracks.

The battle began!

Seeing this signal, the engine furnace of the orange-red Molten Rock Heavy Strike Mecha roared enormously at the back, its hefty arms lifting the heavy hammer high.

Knees bent, feet digging deeply into the ground, then explosively leaping up.

The giant hammerhead, over four meters in diameter, displayed fiery red patterns, the rear resembling an engine spewing long red flames.

The heavy hammer was lifted high, his figure captured in that moment.

Mu Fan narrowed his eyes, the Extreme Special Soldier gripping the Flame Rain Frost Blue with both hands, flinging the spear tip to one side, his figure half-crouched, waiting for the Mecha still a hundred meters away to initiate an attack.

However, this Heavy Mecha merely sprinted halfway into the air and did not advance further, instead letting the super-sized heavy hammer viciously smash down.

Under the intense pressure, countless white streams of air trailed around the Mecha and hammer.

Mu Fan looked astonished at this Mecha, given the distance, what was it trying to do?

In the next second, he knew what this Mecha was about to do.

The terrifying heavy hammer made contact with the ground, the earth shattered thunderously, mud and rocks spraying up tens of meters high.

A visible wave of soil flowed from beneath that hammerhead, then suddenly surged forward.

The ground beneath the Extreme Special Soldier twisted and compressed in an instant, and Mu Fan, inside the cockpit, felt the entire mecha’s balance thrown off the moment the opponent’s Heavy Hammer smashed into the ground!

The trees beside him toppled as if struck by a hurricane.

At that moment, Mu Fan made a split-second reaction, his Flame Rain Frost Blue gun handle fiercely touched the ground, and the long spear extended backward at an angle barely propping up the falling Extreme Special Soldier.

Phase Force Field activated!

The Frost Blue aura surged, spreading from the gun shaft onto the ground, instantly freezing the churning soil.

The Extreme Special Soldier finally steadied itself, then its body violently flipped and bounded backward.

A backward step, the black Extreme Special Soldier landed behind, raising its head to see a Super Heavy Mecha charging fiercely toward it with both hands flipping the Heavy Hammer.

How could the power of this mecha be so overwhelming?

The Extreme Special Soldier bounced again onto a massive tree, then used it to propel itself into the air.

The ferocious Molten Rock Heavy Strike Mecha slammed the warhammer onto the ground again.

Boom!

A crater over forty meters wide, like a meteor strike, appeared.

“Nuoggo, for the love of God, can you watch your range! Back off a bit.”

The Thunder Fire War God suddenly sidestepped, the ground underfoot collapsing, and the irate Mechanical Master inside cursed aloud.

“Oh.”

A dull response followed as the Molten Rock Heavy Strike turned to look at the Extreme Special Soldier in mid-air, the inverted Heavy Hammer suddenly swinging in a half-arc.

A violent energy flame burst forth, a half-arc of flame fiercely smashing into the air.

Mu Fan glanced at the long spear in his mecha’s hand, thought about it, but still couldn’t judge the resistance of the Extreme Special Soldier. Thus, the Extreme Special Soldier suddenly swung its right hand, thrusting the Flame Rain Frost Blue directly into a massive tree a hundred meters away.

The Extreme Special Soldier in mid-air swiftly pulled out the Acabert Alloy Heavy Sword from behind, the broad side of the blade grazing past the front with minimal clearance.

The flame collided with the broad sword blade.

Mu Fan felt the Extreme Special Soldier jolt heavily, the entire mecha actually pushed up two meters.

A glowing red mark on the Acabert Alloy Heavy Sword was still emitting residual heat, silently narrating the terror of that previous strike.

Clunk, the Extreme Special Soldier somersaulted in the air and landed firmly on the ground.

“Ha ha ha ha, kid, do you think you’re inside this shell? Without force field defense you can’t even directly withstand one hammer!” The Thunder Fire War God, who had already begun moving and shooting, didn’t hide its derision, the mockery coming from inside the mecha.

If it weren’t for the obvious shortcoming in mobility, how could the Molten Rock Heavy Strike remain only at Double-A grade mecha?

None of the products from Tech Star Capital are inferior!

After saying this, the Thunder Fire War God stopped paying attention, from the looks of it, that black mecha being smashed or driven away was just a matter of less than ten more rounds.

Mu Fan naturally heard these words and saw the orange-red Heavy Mecha violently charging towards him again.

Really?

Mu Fan snorted coldly, his hands moving in an almost infinite wave-like pattern on the control panel, instantly creating a blur of motion with his arms.

Blood re-emerged on his left shoulder, but in Mu Fan’s eyes, there was a burning fighting spirit.

What a wonderful opponent, finally a chance to try this move.

Soglier Advanced Technique—V-shaped Saber!

The kneeling Extreme Special Soldier suddenly placed its left hand over the right hand, both hands gripping the Heavy Sword handle tightly, the entire mecha suddenly looked up, its engines boosting intensely at this moment!
