Ethereal wonderland, mainland mountains and rivers, and a sea of boundless stars...

　　Under the void saw the Milky Way carrying its shining star rivers flowing in the sky, and green mountains and gigantic stones were like clouds in the air!

　　The sea was raging and the star rivers were springing, floating and flowing, lingering around those stones! Rushing, pouring, sometimes the peaks and valleys of snow and waves went empty, while sometimes a thousand miles of waves went ahead...

　　All those are floating in the sky, magnificent and startling...

　　“Faint mists and gentle breezes drift afar, as sky meets sea, and waters merge with air.”

　　With a sword I can step up to the mountains, whilst the sword could also break my inner parts.

　　Who is a man to be called the wonderland hero? Whilst the hero must devote himself to the career of serving the country and the people!”

　　A warrior was covered with a white mecha, carrying a sword and standing on the top of the mountain, surrounded by the shining star river which was reflected on his white mecha, making it even more silvery...

　　The wind gently blew over the face. This ancient poem of a hundred years ago was from the mouth of the mecha warrior who was like the lone star. His voice, though aged and weary, carried an unshakable resolve. He was carrying a broken sword, the tip of which with a few inches had gone, making the whole body milky white broken sword like either a sword or a knife! This broken sword cannot be dyed silver by the shining star river

　　......

　　The mecha hero like a lone star stood upright and no one knew exactly how long he had stood there but only knew that the void was transformed, while the sun was rising and shining bright and setting and turning orange-red...

　　Even though the evening sun shone colour like blood, the milky broken sword cannot be dyed orange-red. Its everlasting unchangeable stubborn was the whole body milky white colour!

　　The setting sun was not as stubborn as the sword. The sun rose from the west to the east, and returned to the sky! The sun was shining, the mountains and rivers were burning red!

　　“How dare those stars and clouds to shine as the sun and the moon!” Between heaven and earth, a domineering voice resounded in the sky! A huge fireball shattered the sky and lands, falling towards the mainland.

　　All the floating stones in the sky were smashed into powder by fireball, and the vast sea and the starry sky were completely turned upside down by this fireball! The blazing setting sun plunged headlong into the uneven ground. The stones and the starry sky around it burst into flames one after another, and the trajectory of its fall even set the void ablaze with raging fire!

　　When the flames burned out, a tall, fiery red mecha stood towering between heaven and earth, looking up at the white mecha that was still standing on top of the mountains!

　　"You're here?" The white mecha said slowly, with a flat voice and without any emotional fluctuation, as if it hadn't seen the shocking scene caused by the appearance of the fiery red mecha beside it!

　　"Hey, you brat! After all these years, why are you still clinging to this chivalry-hero thing? This was just an idea from a hundred years ago. Nowadays, humans have dominated the universe, and most of the Milky Way galaxy has been colonized by us! Who still remembers the concept of sacrificing oneself for others and acting chivalrously? Where in the world is there any chivalry-like hero left?

　　Your Chivalry Hero Pavilion is withering away day by day, and you're the only one left there. Yet you still cherish chivalry in your heart and delude yourself into thinking that you can prove the heroic way through chivalry?

　　Our Mars Academy is full of talented people and has cultivated countless elite warriors. Why don't you come to our academy to be a professor after you retire? Or it's not impossible for me to let you be the honorary dean!!" The loud voice of the fiery red mecha echoed through the sky...

　　Although one couldn't saw the facial expression behind the fiery red mecha's mask, after the mecha's righteously indignant speech, the void around the white mecha seemed to fluctuate faintly. It seemed that this speech had angered the white mecha, but he quickly calmed down. The fluctuations in the void returned to normal, and he said in a deep voice, "There are thousands of ways to master Taoism in this world. Taoism is a way for you to sharpen your weapons and go to war on the battlefield. While for me, it's a way to concentrate on cultivating the supreme martial arts and uphold the chivalrous concept of serving the country and the people! We, just follow different paths to Taoism, that's all." The white mecha spoke slowly, with a calm tone, yet containing a firm belief

　　"Aha, serving the country and the people? Nowadays, there are people on every star in the sky, and the whole universe can be regarded as a country. Can you possibly serve them all?" The fiery red mecha laughed loudly.

　　"As long as there is the chivalrous heroic spirit of sacrificing oneself for righteousness in my heart, why not?" The sword-carrying mecha moved. He looked up at the starry sky and murmured. Even through the mecha, one could foresee the firm belief in his eyes...

　　The fiery red mecha looked down scornfully and sneered, "Funny, the hundred-year period is approaching. The four forces have assembled a large number of troops. When the time comes, starships will fly into the mother planet, and giant mechas will trample on the mainland. A big war is inevitable. What makes you think you can stop it? Just rely on you alone with a sword?"

　　"Yes, just me and my sword!" The white mecha said firmly. Then he moved again, walking through the air and reaching in front of the fiery red mecha in one step.

　　Seeing this, the fiery red mecha was stunned for a moment. Then it came to its senses and asked, "All right, I haven't been succeeded in persuading you for so many years! Why did you come to find me today? What's the important matter?" The fiery red mecha was more than twice as tall as the white mecha, yet at this moment the imposing manner of the red one was somewhat weaker...

　　"It's still about that matter as last time, for the kid named Gu Moxun..." The white mecha rarely lowered its head, and its intention of asking for a favour was palpable...

　　The fiery red mecha noticed what the white mecha meant, but asked in puzzlement, “Last time you told me that you wanted to transfer that kid to your Dragon Head Fort. Only then did I recall that many years ago, you forced this kid into my Mars Academy! As a result, over the years, he has been so mediocre that I could hardly even remember there was such a person in the academy! When you mentioned him last time, I suddenly realized something and I even went out of my way to check his information and grades! I really didn't expect that this kid named Gu Moxun would be such a once-in-a-century talent!!

　　After studying for six years and graduating from the intermediate level, his martial arts proficiency is only at level one! There are quite a number of new students in our academy who already have levels two or three! He is simply a once-in-a-century good-for-nothing. To be honest, did you deliberately find such a loser to bring down the excellent rate of my Mars Academy students?” The fiery red mecha asked half-jokingly and half-seriously!

　　Seeing that the white mecha remained silent and didn't pay attention to him, the fiery red mecha continued, “Let me remind you. Even though he has graduated from the intermediate courses, not only is his martial arts level one, but most of his other subjects are also rather mediocre. Only one subject has achieved an ‘excellent’ grade. It seems that he is good for nothing except his looks. He is simply a pretty face with no real substance. Has the standard for taking in disciples in your Chivalry Hero Pavilion changed? Is it no longer necessary to have a chivalrous heroic heart, but only to look handsome? Looking handsome is of no use. Why don't I send you a few outstanding graduates? You see, you finally decide to take in a disciple, but you choose such a person. If you die from getting angry with that loser, who will I spar with in the future?

　　Mars Academy is now full of talented people. For example, the little girl called Li Zhiyuan from this batch is quite good." She is so talented and her aptitude is extremely rare. She...”

　　"No need. I want this child Gu Mo-xun." The interstellar jump technology, which you asked for before, is designed and set in the Swan spacecraft! It's time for you to fulfil your promise...” The silver mecha interrupted the fiery red mecha's endless introduction and said firmly, with an unwavering tone that brooked no change!

　　“You，such an old chap, just won't listen to advice! It's really strange! What's so good about that kid? Is he worth exchanging for such cutting-edge technology? Well, all right! Since you've made up your mind, how about we have one last bet? If you win, I'll send that kid over. If you lose, I... I'll send him somewhere else!” The fiery red mecha said, pretending to be fierce.

　　The white mecha glanced at him and said casually, “If you want to compete, just say it directly. Why beat around the bush?”

　　“Hey! You old chap, why can't I ever deceive you!” The fiery red mecha laughed!

　　“Then come on! Let's make it quick! Don't waste time!” The white mecha drew out a milky-white broken sword in reverse. The stubborn broken sword looked extremely ridiculous, like a toy sword...

　　However, when the well-informed fiery red mecha saw this sword, his complexion changed drastically. Even through the mecha mask, one could sense the horror in his heart.

　　He quickly leaped into the air and retreated dozens of meters away. He asked in horror, “The Divine Sward Casting Heart? Have you repaired this sword?”

　　“Whether it's repaired or not doesn't matter... Come on! Let's begin!” The white mecha didn’t waste any words and stared at the fiery red mecha! Then he said,

　　“It seems that you are determined to get that kid. All right! I'll also summon some newly developed mechs beasts to play with you!” The fiery red mecha said with a haughty look! With a wave of his hand, several fireballs emerged from the void behind him and came crashing down towards the white mecha!!

　　“It seems you've been preparing for a long time..." The white mecha didn’t even look at the fireballs falling towards him in the sky. With a wave of the white mecha’s arm, the floating stones around it rose up one after another and rushed towards the fireballs to collide with them.

　　“Bang...Band...Bang” Explosions rang out one after another! Amid the thick smoke pervading the sky, countless mecha beasts with a fiery red body rushed out. There were fierce tigers, giant rhinoceroses, wild pythons, and eagles. Their entire bodies were made of fiery red metal, with an elegant appearance, and fierce, haughty looks in their eyes. Either running, rushing, flying, or floating, they all flew towards the white mecha below.

　　“Draw Qi into the sword, return Qi to the origin..." Ignoring the countless mecha beasts in the sky, the white mecha lowered its head and murmured. Under the clear and precise words, the milky-white broken sword in its hand became resplendent with flowing light and emitted colourful rays of light. At this moment, no one dared to underestimate the broken sword any longer. It also lived up to its reputation as the "Divine Sword! Casting Heart".

　　“One sword strike with Qi can shatter ten thousand swords!” He suddenly raised his head and lifted the sword, shouting loudly. The sound shook the entire universe. The broken sword shot out a five-coloured rainbow light and waved in the void!

　　Just one sword, a single earth-shattering sword strike! It instantly turned the mecha beasts in the sky into powder and made them disappear with the wind...

　　The fiery red mecha seemed to have anticipated this outcome long ago. It had already entered a huge war machine more than ten meters tall and merged with the giant war machine, forming a new one mecha! Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. Countless missiles poured out!

　　The white mecha soared into the sky sideways. An energy shield on its shoulder instantly unfolded and it flew forward against the explosions. Amid the heavy gunfire and explosions, it flew in front of the war mecha.

　　The entire white mecha was not even as big as the head of the huge war mecha, yet its imposing manner was in no way inferior to that of the war mecha.

　　“Merge the many into one!” The huge mecha, unwilling to be outdone, punched out and roared! The punch seemed to be an ordinary one but actually contained multiple layers of force, directly shattering the energy shield of the white mecha into pieces. The huge steel fist broke through the shield and punched the white mecha, crashing the white one into the ground. Immediately, dust billowed up from the ground reaching tens-of-feet high.

　　“The Separation Sword Style!” At the same time as being hit, the white mecha blocked the huge steel’s fist with both hands and kicked the hilt of the divine sword with his right leg, using the Separation Sword Style among the ancient three-judgement and nine-style swordsmanship. The broken sword, surrounded by colourful rays of light, spun at an extremely high speed like a colourful flying disk, and also flew horizontally like a bright moon. It spiralled up along the arm of the huge mecha, advancing with irresistible force.

　　With each rotation of the divine sword, it cut through the huge arm from the middle. The seemingly solid and sturdy giant steel arm was as thin as paper under the divine sword. The divine sword spun and soared into the sky. The giant mecha had one of its arms chopped off directly! The huge arm that fell to the ground sent up countless clouds of dust, which mingled with the dust and smoke billowing up from the white mecha that had crashed into the ground...

　　After a moment, a figure shot up through the thick clouds of dust and smoke, soaring into the sky! Under the sound of breaking through the air, the gusts of air stirred up countless clouds of dust! It was the white mecha!

　　Breaking through the smoke and fog, it punched the giant mecha right on the jaw! The head of the mecha, with its broken metal framework, spurted out black engine oil and was sent flying away. Its huge body was also lifted off the ground by that single punch!

　　However, the lifeblood of this giant mecha was not located in its head! “Multiply Into Many From One!” The headless giant mecha roared! Its only remaining left hand suddenly conjured up countless fist shadows and launched them at the white mecha hovering in front of it.

　　“The Swaying Movement Skill!” The white mecha in the air employed an ancient lightness skill movement technique, darting and dodging left and right in the air. The fist shadows and figure swayed in the void, and the sounds of fists and movement skills breaking through the air could be heard everywhere.

　　Suddenly, behind the giant mecha, the Divine Sword that had flown into the sky before now spun back. Silently, with one slash, it chopped off the giant mecha’s another arm! Now the giant mecha, without a head or both hands, was of little use anymore.

　　“Bang!” The fiery red mecha burst out from the chest cavity of the giant mecha and rushed towards the white mecha that had just grasped the spinning broken sword.

　　“The Battle Skill of the Eight Desolates and Six Harmonies!” At this time, the fiery red mecha had been building up power for a long time inside the giant war mecha and had even sprouted six additional arms on its back. Each of the eight mechanical arms held a different weapon! Holding eight weapons, he looked down haughtily like a Vajra deity descending to the mortal world.

　　“First strike!” The eight-armed mecha roared loudly! The eight arms came from all directions, blocking all the escape routes around the white mecha.

　　While the white mecha, surrounded by the eight arms, took steps in the void! Suddenly, it disappeared from its original position, and the floating stones behind it were smashed to pieces by the eight arms!

　　“Second strike!” The fiery red mecha also disappeared from its original place, leaving only its sonorous voice echoing through the sky. The white mecha suddenly reappeared in the Milky Way in the sky, and in the next second, the fiery red mecha followed closely behind! Its eight mechanical arms transformed into a movement containing glinting swords and blades, and the entire galaxy was enveloped by its moves.

　　Swords criss-crossed, and the shining galaxy was churned and stirred! The white mecha, caught in the middle of those swords, showed no fear at all and roared loudly, “The Sword-Parrying Style!” The multicoloured broken sword in its hand was like a sword shield, precisely parrying the sword moves coming towards it. The moves of the fiery red mecha had been exhausted, and it couldn’t even break through the defensive sword shield of the white mecha.

　　“Third strike!” The fiery red mecha roared loudly, and its eight arms immediately changed their moves. The eight arms merged into one, launching a full-strength strike! This full-strength strike seemed to combine the power and momentum of thousands of troops and horses into one blow, and one can imagine how powerful it was! Even the white mecha’s expression changed slightly. It took a step back and shouted, “The Sword-Drawing Style!”

　　The broken sword was pressed against the combined move of the eight weapons, guiding the move to retreat while pulling and twisting it at the same time. The eight-armed mecha’s face was filled with horror. It tried to withdraw its arms but found that the Sword-Drawing Style seemed to have a suction force, making it difficult to break free for a while.

　　“With Qi, the Sword Emerges and Ten Thousand Swords Are Destroyed! The Sword Qi Incantation!” The white mecha held the sword with one hand to pull and guide, while forming a sword finger with the other hand, and then, said calmly!

　　The silvery-white Qi glow shone brightly between the sword fingers.

　　Whoosh! The silvery-white sword Qi shot out from the sword finger, flying past and nearly hitting the ear of the fiery red mecha and piercing through the floating stones behind it one by one. After piercing through three floating stones in a row, the sword Qi finally dissipated...

　　Seeing this peerless sword Qi, the fiery red mecha clasped its fists and bowed its head, saying, “I’ve lost again! Alas, we both have achieved the Grand Slam of the Twelve Vital Points, yet you’ve already been able to apply sword Qi to the mecha! Amazing, I’m truly impressed!”

　　“Just by luck...” said the white mecha modestly.

　　“You old chap! All right, I knew I couldn’t beat you at the beginning! This morning, I’ve already arranged for this kid to come over on the Swan spacecraft along with this year's newly enlisted recruits. As long as nothing goes wrong on the way, he should be arriving soon.

　　But, even if something does happen, it has nothing to do with me. After all, the Swan was built by you single-handedly. There’s nothing to blame but your technical problem! I’ll leave that little good-for-nothing to you to train. Haha!

　　I’m really looking forward to seeing what kind of person that little loser will be trained into by you in the future! Hahahaha...” The fiery red mecha laughed heartily and then gradually faded in a virtual blue light...

　　“Humph...You scoundrel...” Hearing the words of the fiery red mecha, the white mecha finally felt relieved. After putting the Divine Sword back behind it, the white mecha waved its hand, and then, all the shattered and burned void wonderland around it disappeared, and a messy laboratory appeared in front of it.

　　The white mecha was covered with all kinds of connecting wires, and the milky-white broken sword was the same. It turned out that everything before was just a virtual competition...

　　Hiss! With a puff of steam dispersing, the front and back of the white mecha opened up, and an old man with silver hair was sitting inside it.

　　He picked up the loong-headed like walking stick placed beside him, tapped it on the ground, and then, he flew out lightly. After landing on the ground, he looked back at the white mecha covered with wires behind him and murmured, “The performance of the new mecha is quite good, but I still need to get a green hand to test it and dig out the maximum potential of this mecha...” After saying this, the old man raised his wrist and pressed the watch on it, saying, “Zheng Feng, there’s something I want you to handle tomorrow...”

　　“Yes, Master Wei!” A magnetic male voice came from the communication watch...

　　......
