Why did our mecha lose an arm in the first match?
Now, the cut on the left arm of the Extreme Special Soldier shows signs of being melted through.
The opposing Mechanical Master was far superior because Mu Fan noticed that the break in the mecha's left arm was at the joint connection and not, as expected, in the thick alloy shell that covered the arm.
Moreover, the opponent didn't cut from above in that instant, as that would have hit the shoulder's Defense Armor. The Wind Speed Competitor had first thrust the Beam Sword into the gap beneath the left arm, then flicked upwards in a reverse motion.
This clever move, combined with the powerful cutting effect of the Michael Particles in the Beam Sword, finally succeeded in severely damaging the weakest joint area of the Extreme Special Soldier.
The sudden loss of the left arm caused an imbalance, which Levi corrected with his rich experience in the shortest time.
Now the poor Extreme Special Soldier was left holding the Heavy Pulse Rifle with its lonely left arm, as the rain of bullets just fired had put the Mecha Body into a brief rapid cooling period.
Levi clenched his teeth, determined not to retreat even half a step, not a chance!
At this range, with 1.5 seconds left in the cooling time, he prepared for a second barrage.
The Extreme Special Soldier would definitely defeat the opponent!
But then, the Wind Speed Competitor's engine roared again, rapidly closing in on the Extreme Special Soldier and making a swift horizontal slash with the Beam Sword in hand, a faint purple light beam shooting forth.
Levi, attempting to quickly dodge, concentrated all his control on the Coordination Device; he needed to avoid the attack.
But the speed of the light beam was beyond his expectations, penetrating the mecha.
A sudden red warning flashed in the cockpit of the Extreme Special Soldier, "Strong particle flow interference detected. GFrame double buffering device has filtered 75%. Energy supply recovery time is 0.375 seconds."
0.375 seconds was just a momentary pause, but to the Extreme Special Soldier, whose Energy Furnace was suddenly disrupted and the engine was re-pressurizing, he appeared like a sitting duck to Valentine, the pilot of the Wind Speed Competitor.
The handheld Beam Sword buzzed and dissipated, and the Wind Speed Competitor's speed climbed again, transforming into a silver-white blur approaching the dark Extreme Special Soldier.
Bang! Boom!
The Wind Speed Competitor completed an extremely graceful flying kick in mid-air, striking hard against the chest of the Extreme Special Soldier.
At this moment, the sleek silver-white Mecha Body demonstrated the power produced by speed pushed to its limits.
The triangular Defense Armor on the chest showed no dent. After all, it was made of Acabert Alloy, a core material from Loki Heavy Industry known for its high strength and elasticity.
However, that fierce impact sent the Extreme Special Soldier crashing to the ground with a heavy thud from the flying kick.
In a brief state of motionless loss of control, the Extreme Special Soldier had no ability to resist and just like that, heavily fell to the ground. Despite being only two-thirds the size of the Extreme Special Soldier, at this moment, the silver-white frame of the Wind Speed Competitor stood on the chest of the Extreme Special Soldier, the Beam Sword in hand buzzing again with a stable stream of light particle blades pointing directly at the cockpit, ready to pierce in the next second.
Valentine looked down at the deep black Extreme Special Soldier, the mecha's cold, unexpressive face revealing nothing. But Valentine's face wore a slight smile of a victor, filled with disdain for the mecha beneath his feet and even more so, an arrogance.
Another notch was to be added to Valentine's record of victories, as crushing his opponents like this brought far more satisfaction than simply cutting through them, not to mention, it was excellent publicity for his company.
"This Wind Speed Competitor is too damn cool!"
"First time seeing it, which company's mecha is this? Arabella, I'm going to see it at the expo!"
"There's such an amazing mecha in the exhibition hall, how come we never saw it before?"
"That Beam Sword's lethality is incredible."
"Yeah, and that surging engine power almost made my heart jump out."
"Doesn't anyone notice that black mecha on the other side? It's so clunky and they chose a long-range model, truly the weirdest of the weird."
"Didn't really notice... I assumed it was just a practice model, haha."
The visitors in the central area of the mecha exhibition hall, as well as the crowd watching the live broadcast online, had by that moment shifted their focus entirely to the flashy silver mecha.
As for what that other mecha was called, they didn't care anymore.
In the control room, the three people looked at the screen, and Gaoling Ze sighed helplessly, "I'm afraid Young Master Tang's backup plan won't be needed."
Donald grinned, lowering his head, "Let's have some tea."
Meanwhile, in the central coliseum's spectator stands, Wang Nuonuo covered her mouth, large tears rolling down from her eyes. She didn't want to see this scene.
Even if she had braced herself for cruelty, she hadn't expected things to escalate to this extent, especially since this was only the first match!
"Raise your hands and surrender, and I'll spare you and your mecha," Valentine's voice echoed through the arena's loudspeakers, reaching the ears of everyone watching.
"So domineering!!"
"The Wind Speed Competitor's Mechanical Master is awesome!"
"Who is this Mechanical Master? I'm going to be their fan!"
Suddenly, the people's favor shifted from the mechas straight to the unseen Mechanical Master.
Seeing this scene, Arabella's product manager nearly burst into laughter, his face breaking into a wide smile. This was better than any advertisement.
The visitors all marveled at the remarkable Mechanical Master, but for those at Loki Heavy Industry, this was nothing short of a slap in the face.
Manager Yu clenched his fists, veins popping on the back of his hand, his heart bleeding!
He had ambitiously transferred from being the regional manager of a planet to bring this mecha called the "Extreme Special Soldier" and achieve something glorious, not to watch helplessly as it was pressed to the ground like scrap metal by their opponent, who then humiliatingly said, "Raise your hands and surrender."
Creak, creak!
Teeth nearly crushed, and arms trembling involuntarily, as he watched the Extreme Special Soldier still pinned to the ground, unable to move, his eyes filled with unwillingness, despair, and fear.
Give up...
This is our prototype, it shouldn't be destroyed like this!
Levi, thank you for your efforts, but we at Loki Heavy Industry really cannot afford this loss.
With this thought, Yu Wenhai, the current person in charge at Loki Heavy Industry, finally made up his mind.
"We surrender."
His voice spread throughout the entire arena through a dedicated exterior communicator.
