BOOM!
The remaining two Vector Propulsion Jet Engines burst into sky-blue flas, providing massive thrust. This propelled the cha forward in a leap, covering dozens of ters in an instant and flashing in front of Li Ang with a downward slash.
Cloud Ascending Ladder.
Beneath Li Ang's feet, an energy entity erged out of thin air, providing a stepping platform that allowed him to explosively retreat and narrowly avoid the slash.
BUZZ—
The distinctive horizontal slicing sound of the High-Frequency Cutting Blade rang out again. The Kui Ox cha, with its vector thrusters at full power, hardly paused, abandoning all defense and diverting all energy into its offense.
Li Ang retreated again and again. The Tyrant Halberd skimd the Kui Ox cha's vital spots like a dragonfly touching water, leaving more than a dozen deep wounds. So attacks even ca within a hair's breadth of severing Ding Zhensi's limbs in the cockpit. However, constrained by the Kui Ox cha's fearless attacking style, Li Ang could only retrieve his weapon and continue to defend.
Is this the Special Affairs Bureau's secret weapon... This thought erged in the minds of countless spectators in the stands. Battles on the other dozen or so stages had already concluded, but on stage forty-five, there was still a whirlwind of dust and debris. The entire platform's brick and stone floor was scarred with pits and fissures left by the High-Frequency Cutting Blade and the Tyrant Halberd.
Just by the destruction of the stage itself, the energy level displayed in this match was even higher than the previous round's duel between "Ryu" and "Amber."
The faces of the Lone Wolf spectators were filled with amazent and envy, while mbers of other powers, especially those guild organizations not on good terms with the Special Affairs Bureau, looked as aghast as could be.
The bloated bigwigs of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Supernatural Accident Place were anxiously and irritably whispering to one another. People continuously went online and offline, presumably to report back to the real world and issue orders.
Representatives in suits from the Protheus Laboratory Company, which touts itself as the leader of future technology, approached the Special Affairs Bureau's area, presumably to discuss sothing. However, they left expressionless, evidently dissatisfied with the outco.
Each organization had sent their own think tank to personally observe the first round of arena matches. That young man in the blue-and-white skin-tight combat suit was clearly not a pure warrior, yet with that cha, he montarily suppressed an opponent with a terrifyingly formidable physique.
Even if the Immaculate Furnace's owner wasn't using more skills but relying on simple attacks, who could guarantee that the Kui Ox cha had fully played its hand?
The strength demonstrated by the magnetic-fluid cha far exceeded other powers' expectations. While their own machines were still in the experintal stage and unable to be mass-produced on a large scale, the Special Affairs Bureau's cha were already capable of participating in high-intensity battles above Lv20, even securing a foothold.
A single Kui Ox cha was not frightening. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Protheus Laboratory Company had plenty of players serving as secret weapons. However, the greatest significance of a cha lies in its mass production, in stabilizing social order, and in completely revolutionizing the modern warfare pattern.
"The Special Affairs Bureau truly has profound depths..." the Stonemason couldn't help but utter. Hearing this, Perch beside him shook his head with a smile. "No, it's not the Special Affairs Bureau, but the Heterodox Academy that has profound depths."
"Eh?"
The Stonemason turned his head and glanced at his nerd senior brother with hesitation. "Isn't that cha entirely made by technology?"
"Of course not."
Perch rested the palms of his hands behind his head, leaned back as far as he could into the chair, and lazily said, "The teacher said that there are things like technological barriers in the Battlefield Killing ga; it's difficult to produce near-future tech creations that can be decrypted for large-scale practicality. The Special Affairs Bureau has extrely high authority and can muster vast manpower, materials, and financial resources. Even so, it's highly unlikely they could independently develop a Gundam from scratch in such a short ti without any references. Scientific research doesn't just succeed through sheer numbers and money. The core of that cha must have employed the Heterodox Academy's technology, and only they could provide such technical support."
"..."
Stonemason opened his mouth, unclear why his senior brother, Perch, held the Heterodox Academy in such high esteem.
While the hearts of all those present were stirred by the fierce and iron-blooded fighting figure of the Kui Ox cha, the silent mbers of the Special Affairs Bureau's equipnt technology departnt below the arena were seized by a kind of anxious mood.
Only they understood the true nature of the Shanhai Kui Ox cha; only they knew what Ding Zhensi on the stage had truly sacrificed.
"Dad..."
No sooner had the researcher Yan Hanyan begun to speak than she was interrupted by her father, Yan Jianbo.
"I know what you're going to say," Yan Jianbo said sternly. "But this is Zhen Shi's own choice; he doesn't want to let down our efforts or his own. Until the result is revealed, all we can do is wish him well."
"..."
Yan Hanyan fell silent, turning to look at the giant cha on the arena, its battle movents beginning to distort and its body quivering incessantly.
Kill, kill, kill, kill! Die, die, die!
Within the narrow and cramped cockpit, Ding Zhensi's heavy, rapid breathing echoed.
His face was covered with bulging veins, his pupils filled with bloodshot strands. A vast array of magnetic-fluid fiber strands pierced out from his bones, muscles, and skin, making him appear like so kind of bizarre creature infested with parasites.
The real Energy Core of the Shanhai Series ch Armor was actually the spirit of a ferocious beast residing deep within the cha.
After months of exploration and guidance from ng Si, the frontline scientific expedition team had penetrated the deepest levels of the Demon Prison. There, they discovered an ancient temporary outpost left by the predecessors of the Heterodox Academy and excavated a large number of texts.
One of those texts secretly indicated a hidden passage within the Demon Prison.
Following the map, the scientific expedition team entered the secret passage. Using the unique identity verification thod passed down by the Heterodox Academy, they passed the tests. After several spatial jumps, they arrived at an enormous pocket space.
That space should have been a museum or, rather, a graveyard.
In the vast, empty darkness with no visible end, energy fields ford by anti-gravity devices were everywhere. Within these fields floated startlingly lifelike giant creature carcasses, a hundred or even a thousand ters long.
A red tiger with wings on its back—Qiongqi.
A horse with one horn on its head, a white body with a black tail, and claws and teeth—Bo.
A crane with one foot, its whole body covered with blue feathers—Bifang.
...
By reading the stele at the bottom of the graveyard, the scientific expedition team learned sothing. What was placed here were not real mythical beasts from the Shanhai Classics. Instead, they were counterfeit fabrications cloned by the Heterodox Academy in its pri, based on textual materials left over from mythical tis.
