Chapter 10 Apprentice of the Future

　　In the virtual Gobi Desert of the online competition venue, the searing flames still hung high...

　　The mecha below couldn't feel the intense heat of the flames. Born in the surrounding star systems, they were unfamiliar with the Gobi Desert and everything about their home planets...

　　The only thing they were familiar with was the weapons in their hands!

　　However, even if they had seen the magical and colorful scenery on their home planets, I'm afraid there wouldn't be much of a ripple in their hearts.

　　Because in their dogma, there was only winning...

　　Under Li Ziyuan's capable command, the red and blue teams, which had been a disorganized mess, instantly began to cooperate with each other in an orderly manner!

　　The shield - armored soldiers in the front activated their heavy energy shields. Several tall soldiers stood side by side, forming an energy light wall that withstood one energy - gathering cannon after another fired by Gu Moxun!

　　The particle - energy light balls of the energy - gathering cannon wouldn't cause an energy explosion when hitting the light shield but would only be completely absorbed by it...

　　Behind the light shield, the assault soldiers used twin - barrel machine guns to keep shooting at Gu Moxun, covering several battle-mecha-wearing students using electromagnetic lassos to detour behind the hovering white mecha!

　　The magnetic force of those lassos was so strong that once caught, it would be very difficult to break free for a while!

　　Seeing this situation, Gu Moxun didn't dare to be careless at all. He squatted down with all his might to gather strength. When those lassos were about to catch him, he jumped up with all his strength!

　　Whoosh! A sharp sound of breaking through the air rang out! The white mecha shot into the sky like a shooting star!

　　All that was left around were the geniuses looking up at him...

　　Gu Moxun, who had jumped into the sky, let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had jumped quickly just now. Otherwise, if he had been caught by the lassos, it would have been really troublesome!

　　These people were truly geniuses. Once organized, their team combat ability multiplied.

　　Clang! Clang! Gu Moxun had just hovered in the air for a few seconds when the sniper rifles below fired two shots at him. Fortunately, they were below and couldn't hit his face mask. The defense of his face mask was already close to the critical point...

　　Once the forehead armor was broken, his head, which was no longer protected by the mecha, would surely be the primary target of their attack!

　　With his first - level martial arts, he simply couldn't defend against the geniuses staring at him covetously below!

　　However, the defensive formation they formed was too solid. He had tried for a long time just now but couldn't break through...

　　The only energy - gathering cannon he had was completely countered by the energy shields of the shield - armored soldiers. If only he had other weapons!

　　Whoosh! Whoosh! Just as Gu Moxun was thinking, several football - sized energy cannons flew towards him, and the sound of sniper rifles also rang out!

　　He quickly came to his senses and dodged left and right, barely managing to avoid them!

　　The soldiers below cooperated with each other seamlessly, with a watertight defense. If he was surrounded on the ground, his forehead armor would surely be blown up by them. If he flew close to attack, he might be caught by the electromagnetic lassos. When he flew in the sky and used the energy - gathering cannon to attack from a distance, the energy was completely absorbed by the energy shields of the shield - armored soldiers...

　　Under the precise shooting of the sniper rifles and energy cannons, Gu Moxun couldn't think of a way to attack for a while and became passive!

　　Forced into the sky, he became a sitting duck!

　　The white mecha was hit by bullets, sparking continuously. The AI kept reminding him that the mecha was under attack, but he couldn't just leave without completing his mission!

　　Besides, this was a virtual space. Where could he run to?

　　Forget it, I'll fight!

　　Gu Moxun made up his mind. Just as he was about to fly down, he only thought about taking out a few of the troublesome shield - armored soldiers below first. Unconsciously, two electric - arc knuckle - dusters extended from his hands!

　　Looking at the electric - arc knuckle - dusters on his wrists and the constantly flashing arcs on them, Gu Moxun was delighted and came up with a plan.

　　He turned around, increased the power, and flew towards the sky, disappearing from sight in an instant...

　　The members of the red and blue teams didn't expect this white killing god to retreat. For a moment, they looked at each other in surprise...

　　"Don't be careless. Let's form a defensive formation!"

　　In the spacious hall, Li Ziyuan loudly reminded!

　　But her reminder was too late. A black shadow rushed down from the sky! Like an eagle swooping down on its prey!

　　The fist blades with electric arcs easily cut through the thick armor of two tall shield - armored mecha!

　　This kind of electric - arc weapon had excellent cutting ability and could easily cut through most metals. It was a weapon that could cut through iron like mud, but it consumed a lot of energy and wasn't suitable for a long - term battle.

　　With these sharp weapons in his hands, Gu Moxun's confidence soared, and his heroic spirit also rose!

　　After taking out two shield - armored soldiers, he directly crashed into the mecha battle formation!

　　Relying on the impact of the dive, he knocked down the first few tall shield - armored soldiers. Then, he used his hands to take out two more shield - armored soldiers!

　　With the help of the dive and the amazing defense of the mecha, after breaking through the front shield formation, Gu Moxun, who rolled on the ground a few times, quickly got up and jumped.

　　He sprinted forward, leaped into the air, and pounced like a hungry tiger! He rushed into the group of central snipers mecha and energy - gathering cannon mecha!

　　Like a wolf among sheep, he struck out in both directions, catching the long - range battle mecha in the middle off - guard!

　　When the AI reminded him that the energy of the fist blades in his hands was running low, he retracted the electric - arc fist blades and repeated his previous move. He squatted down, ready to jump again!

　　Just as he jumped, his ankle was suddenly caught by an electromagnetic lasso! Gu Moxun turned his head and saw that a light - type battle mecha was staring at him, holding the lasso with both hands. The information showed that it was Li Ziyuan inside the light - type battle mecha!

　　Li Ziyuan had always been cautious. Seeing the white battle mecha dive down and directly disrupt the tactical formation, taking out many battle mecha, she knew that she couldn't let him fly back into the sky again. So she quickly picked up the magnetic lasso on the ground and threw it at him!

　　However, Gu Moxun's battle mecha was so fast that she only managed to catch his ankle, but that was enough!

　　The girl didn't hesitate and pressed the button on the lasso handle!

　　A huge electric arc traveled along the rope and reached Gu Moxun's body. At the same time, the electromagnetic rope segments quickly retracted, pulling Gu Moxun down!

　　Gu Moxun only saw a flash of electric light around the battle mecha, but his body didn't react at all. It seemed that the metal material of this fifth - generation mecha and its inner lining were both made of insulating materials!

　　The girl also didn't expect that the metal battle mecha in front of her was actually resistant to electric shock. Usually, when an ordinary individual battle mecha was hit by high - voltage electricity, the operator inside would at least be stunned! How could he have the strength to resist?

　　In the moment when the girl was stunned, she was carried into the high altitude by Gu Moxun!

　　Li Ziyuan's battle mecha was a light-type assault battle mecha, which was extremely agile! Coupled with the girl's strength of eighth-level martial arts, it was like adding wings to a tiger!

　　Li Ziyuan, who was carried into the air, was only stunned for a moment and quickly regained her senses!

　　She pulled the lasso with both hands and climbed up along the rope to the back of Gu Moxun's battle mecha in an instant! Riding on his back, she took out her knuckle - dusters and violently attacked the back of Gu Moxun's head!

　　The AI quickly reminded that the value of the rear mecha was plummeting and needed attention!

　　Gu Moxun also didn't expect that this seemingly delicate and beautiful girl was so brave and skilled in combat!

　　Looking at the mecha with the plummeting value, Gu Moxun knew that he couldn't show mercy just because she was a girl anymore. He frowned slightly, suddenly twisted his waist, and made a big flip in the air!

　　He directly looked at the girl face to face!

　　Although Gu Moxun's internal strength was not strong, he had never been lazy in Mars Academy! He had trained so hard that he was probably many times more diligent than these geniuses who relied on their talents!

　　He knew a lot of martial arts moves. Now, with the help of this battle mecha with such abilities, he could use them. He wanted to see if this legendary top - tier genius and beautiful senior sister was really that powerful!

　　The electric arc knuckle-dusters in Gu Moxun's hands hadn't fully charged with energy yet, so he could only use his fists for the time being!

　　His right straight punch struck towards the girl's left knuckle-duster!

　　Clang! The white metal was extremely sturdy, and the knuckle-duster couldn't damage the battle mecha at all!

　　Seeing that her knuckle-duster couldn't penetrate the white metal, the girl stabbed the knuckle-duster in her right hand towards the white face mask that already had cracks!

　　Li Ziyuan was now riding on the white mecha. Gu Moxun's left fist turned into a palm! He blocked the knuckle-duster stabbing towards his face mask!

　　Watching the knuckle-duster spark against his hand, Gu Moxun's right palm knife slashed towards her in turn!

　　Li Ziyuan didn't expect the white mecha to change its move so quickly. She leaned backward and flipped over, moving to the back of Gu Moxun!

　　Gu Moxun seemed to have anticipated the girl's movement. He struck backward with his elbows, knocking apart the legs of the battle mecha behind him!

　　His body leaned forward suddenly, trying to throw Li Ziyuan off his back!

　　Li Ziyuan's body had already flown out half a position. She grabbed the lasso with both hands and flipped over along the way!

　　She slid from the back to the front of the white battle mecha and raised her knuckle-duster to stab!

　　Gu Moxun in the high altitude quickly kicked out with one leg!

　　The girl, who was stabbing with all her might, didn't hold onto the lasso and was directly kicked flying! Looking at Li Ziyuan falling from the high altitude, Gu Moxun couldn't bear it in his heart.

　　He made a dive and grabbed the girl's battle mecha in the air!

　　She was already angry after suffering a series of setbacks with her pride! Since she was so close to the white killing god, she naturally wouldn't let go of the opportunity!

　　She seized the moment and raised her knuckle-duster to stab forcefully at the head of Gu Moxun's battle mecha! The part that had been cracked by the sniper rifle couldn't withstand Li Ziyuan's powerful strike. It directly cracked open, revealing Gu Moxun's forehead and left eye!

　　Gu Moxun, greatly startled, accidentally loosened his hand, and the girl fell from the high altitude and turned into a pile of pixel points...

　　Gu Moxun, who had been hesitant before, didn't expect to deal with the talented senior sister in this way. With no more concerns in his heart, he only wanted to end the battle as soon as possible and complete the task!

　　He glanced at the battlefield, and the damaged helmet immediately summarized the battlefield information...

　　There was a total of twenty students from the red and blue teams, and he had already sent sixteen of them out. The remaining four battle mecha soldiers below were also cowards who were afraid of death.

　　Seeing how powerful the white killing god in the sky was, they were so scared that they all hid!

　　However, they still couldn't escape the eyes of the fifth-generation battle mecha. After several scans, Gu Moxun defeated the lone students who had hidden one by one, completing the first trial set by Wei Zhengdao!

　　After turning the last battle mecha into pixel points, Gu Moxun also returned to reality from the virtual network...

　　The battle mecha opened automatically, and the teenager climbed out of it. He didn't feel much joy of victory. Instead, he felt dizzy, and his body was still immersed in the physical sensation of flying, feeling groggy...

　　"Xiao Xun, you did a great job! You're already so powerful in your first time driving the fifth-generation mecha!

　　Go ahead. The big shot wants you to wait for him in the Loong Eye Conference Room! I'll archive the data records of the battle mecha and then join you..."

　　Zheng Feng said to the teenager. After that, he raised his thick fingers and fiddled with the fifth-generation battle mecha...

　　Gu Moxun didn't expect that the mysterious big shot behind the scenes would know that he had completed the trial so quickly.

　　But then he thought, this person was the one who had created this white mecha. Just based on the fact that this white mecha could enable a martial arts loser like himself to defeat twenty top-notch geniuses, this big shot behind the scenes was definitely an extraordinary person!

　　At the thought of meeting the big shot behind the scenes soon, Gu Moxun had mixed feelings in his heart, feeling both nervous and excited!

　　He simply let out an "oh".

　　Then went to the Loong Eye Conference Room alone. He had walked the route before and still remembered how to get there.

　　He just didn't know exactly who this big shot was. What was his temper like? And there were still the next two tests. He didn't know how difficult they would be compared to this one.

　　Hopefully, they wouldn't be more exaggerated than making him deal with twenty top senior students...

　　As the teenager thought about these things, he pressed the button of the elevator...

　　Feeling a bit nervous inside, he realized that he was even more anxious about meeting the big shot than he had been during the previous competition...

　　But he was even more curious about who this person was!

　　In the elevator, he kept fidgeting with his body, and his right hand involuntarily reached into the cuff of his left sleeve, rubbing a bracelet on his left wrist. The bracelet was made of unknown crystal stones.

　　This bracelet was given to Gu Moxun by his parents when they parted, and he had always cherished it and worn it on his hand, never leaving it behind.

　　The corner of his clothes, which he had been constantly rubbing and was now crumpled into a ball, seemed to indicate the uneasiness and nervousness in the teenager's heart at this moment.
