Chapter 440: Chapter 327: Top Secret Plan (Five-in-One)

At this moment, Su Ming opened the cockpit of the Flame Knight and elegantly leapt down.

Deng Yu and his four companions climbed down from their mechas with complex expressions on their faces.

Right now, they felt bewildered as if they were dreaming; five against one and they had been defeated so cleanly.

Clap clap!

At that moment, a round of applause sounded.

Su Ming and the others followed the sound and saw Shu’en approaching with Hejassi.

Shu’en sternly criticized Deng Yu and the others.

"You didn’t even weigh your own capabilities before daring to challenge a superior officer."

Deng Yu and his group hung their heads in shame; their defeat was embarrassingly complete.

Su Ming looked interestedly at Officer Shu’en, keenly perceiving something amiss.

At this time, Shu’en suddenly changed his tone and said to Su Ming,

"However, it’s rare for Major Su Ming to be willing to impart lessons. How about you show them what real skill is?"

"Commander, are you asking for a sparring match with me?"

Su Ming looked at Shu’en with a smile that was not quite a smile.

"No need for the commander, I’ll spar with you!"

Hejassi stepped forward and said to Su Ming.

"Alright!"

Su Ming saw that Hejassi wanted to fight him and agreed very readily. For the conflicts between him and Hejassi, there was no better solution than fisticuffs.

Seeing that Su Ming was about to fight Hejassi, Deng Yu and the others were excited to the extreme.

"That’s great!"

"Show some guts, let’s see your strength!"

When Hejassi saw that Su Ming did not refuse, he immediately gained some respect for him.

"Come on!"

Su Ming wasted no words and walked straight towards the Flame Knight.

Hejassi turned his head to the administrator, Song Jia, and said,

"Give me a Second Generation Mecha·Rebel."

"Okay!"

Song Jia promptly lifted her wristband and operated it, a platform rose.

On the platform was a twelve-meter tall, heavily armored mecha with its left hand holding a huge alloy axe and a large black cannon barrel embedded in its shoulders.

Hejassi walked straight over.

Soon both of them boarded their mechas and moved to the dueling area.

Shu’en and the others retreated to the safe zone, leaving ample space.

For a time, the entire dueling field was surrounded by people from the Third Unit, and even bystanders from nearby hurried over to watch the excitement.

The crowd whispered among themselves,

"Who do you think can win? That Hejassi is a famous expert in the military, I heard he has accumulated quite a few military achievements."

"Hard to say, you saw it; Su Ming is super strong, one against five! And it was a complete crushing victory!"

...

At this moment, Song Jia, acting as the referee, shouted excitedly,

"Are both sides ready? Get ready! Begin!"

Hejassi, not underestimating his opponent in the slightest, took the initiative to attack, pushing the power lever to the limit. The whole Rebel Mecha roared piercingly, like an enraged beast charging towards Su Ming.

Su Ming, with a calm approach, raised his spear in his hand, waiting for Hejassi’s attack.

Just as Hejassi maneuvered his mecha, closing in on Su Ming.

Suddenly, he stomped on the ground with his mecha, leaping into the air and swung his axe at Su Ming with one hand.

The movement was so fast that the spectators didn’t even have time to react.

But for Su Ming, this presented such an obvious vulnerability, it was tantamount to courting death. He could have easily taken advantage of his spear’s reach to deliver a fatal blow.

Su Ming, however, narrowed his eyes and with swift hand movements, controlled the Flame Knight to dodge rapidly to the left!

He chose not to meet the attack head-on as he realized the one-handed axe grip was a clear trap.

Clang!

The alloy axe chopped viciously into the ground.

The training ground’s surface was split open with a startling gash.

"Wow, dodged it, what a fast reaction speed!"

...

The audience exclaimed in surprise.

At that moment, Su Ming steadied the Flame Knight and swept his spear towards Hejassi with a backhanded strike.

Hejassi, upon missing his attack, immediately twisted his mecha’s body and lifted his alloy axe to block!

Zing zing!

The spear scraped across the alloy axe, sending sparks flying.

"Ah!"

Hejassi, with fervor, pushed the control stick, and the whole Rebel Mecha charged at Su Ming with force.

Su Ming quickly retracted the spear with the mecha, aiming a sharp thrust at Hejassi.

Hejassi, in turn, twisted the mecha’s body violently to dodge a vital hit and raised his axe, ready to endure the attack with his mecha’s body, risking injury to solve Su Ming with one axe blow.

Su Ming was slightly surprised as well but didn’t back down; instead, he impaled the spear onto the Rebel Mecha’s right shoulder, preventing the axe swing.

"Die!"

Hejassi suddenly tossed his axe and switched hands, sweeping from below upwards with an axe stroke towards the head of the Flame Knight.

The hearts of the audience rose up, and they held their breaths to watch.

That was when Su Ming, using the thrusting power of his spear in the Flame Knight, performed a backward jump, easily evading the attack.

"Damn!"

Deng Yu and the others were utterly astonished.

Hejassi too was incredulous, unable to believe that the attack had been so easily avoided using the momentum.

After dodging the attack, Su Ming landed and instantly leaped forward with a lunge, targeting the Rebel Mecha.

Hejassi was taken aback, flipping sideways to the right narrowly avoiding the spear.

He then clumsily got the Rebel Mecha up on its feet, adopting a defensive posture.

Su Ming looked at Hejassi with a trace of surprise on his face; this guy’s combat skills were no ordinary good, far surpassing the level of a normal major.

But Su Ming quickly realized that this fellow must have been too rigid and blunt in speech to advance any further.

In fact, Su Ming wasn’t at all angry about being accused of nepotism.

After all, if a military officer rose through connections without any skill, they wouldn’t just fail themselves but could also endanger teammates and subordinates.
