Chapter 602: Chapter 377: This is—Flame Rain Frost Blue! (2nd Update)
(Congratulations to the newly appointed Alliance Hierarch “Ran Family Stronghold”!~Congratulations to the new Sect Leader “So Bored Ahhh”!~Congratulations to the new Helmsman “Purple Lightning Crow Immortal”!)
Not just the regular spectators, but also those familiar with Mu Fan, even including White Hair, the chubby guy, and others up in the stands right now, were hearing the insider story for the first time.
Especially when they heard that Mu Fan had been battling alone up until now, they exchanged shocked looks.
“How could Mu Fan not tell us!?” Harry exclaimed excitedly, his eyes rimmed red with the blood of a timid yet passionate chubby man.
White Hair’s chest heaved quietly several times before he finally spoke in as smooth a tone as possible, “Mu Fan is strong, I know that. But I really didn’t expect the kid to be so stubborn as to not even want our help in situations like this, damn it! I really want to let off some steam now, Ahhh!!”
By the end of his sentence, White Hair couldn’t restrain himself and just shouted out loud. Someone nearby thought to turn their head and scold him, but when they caught sight of White Hair’s fierce expression, they quickly shrank back.
“What could be inside the box Mu Fan is opening now?” That was the question they were all curiously pondering at the moment.
White Hair shook his head, “I have no clue what’s inside it; the kid is just too mysterious. Though I don’t know much about the mecha and the Mechanical Master on the other side, I do know Mu Fan well. Considering his attitude, I can only say that the other side… is done for.”
“Mu Fan, you can only win, not lose!” the chubby guy shouted through clenched teeth.
“Victory to Loki Heavy Industry!”
Amidst the hush of the crowd, these passionate young men and women, not yet twenty, all let out their cries together!
It seemed like the Extreme Special Soldier, half-kneeling on the ground, heard the distant cheers of his comrades and looked up at the sky the moment his palms just touched it.
The emotionless, icy stare of the mecha met the eyes of every viewer.
Both hands simultaneously touched the black metallic long case before gently lifting the lid of the case.
In that moment, both the audience inside and outside the arena strained their necks, seeming to want a clear view of what was inside.
The moment the case truly opened, a stream of dazzling ice-blue light caught Mu Fan’s eyes, and seconds later, a raging flame’s stark redness painted his face once again red.
It was a flowing gemstone, a crystal pulsing with life as if it could breathe, it was… Flame Rain Frost Blue!
So this is what you look like!
A brilliant light suddenly erupted in Mu Fan’s eyes.
It was a roaring fighting spirit!
Everything seemed to be far beyond his earlier expectations.
The surprise arrived so quietly.
“Mu Fan, a high-level energy reaction force field has been detected; the energy fluctuation peak is extremely high yet the condition is incredibly stable, which is unbelievable. Is this the cold weapon? How can such a strong force field exist!” Black’s voice rarely showed astonishment.
Since the case was only opened 45 degrees, it still looked unopened from above.
This scene nearly made the spectators, who had already been craning their necks, want to spit blood.
“Damn it, just open it already!”
“My pants are already off.”
“Thumbs down, don’t leave us hanging like this.”
“Give me a kitchen knife right now, and I dare to go down there and face off with that mecha alone.”
The Sky Mother Ship and the live streaming room were boiling over, as staff replies were buried without a trace in an instant.
On the other side of the gigantic valley, inside the Earth Battle Fortress, Ogden looked coldly at the image on the screen.
A soft hum sounded in the cockpit: “Putting on airs.”
“The battle countdown is starting: 10, 9, 8….”
Above the Sky Mother Ship, the massive countdown reminder echoed between heaven and earth.
In the eyes of countless people, the hands of the Extreme Special Soldier suddenly left the opened case and slowly reached for its own back.
Click, click.
The black mechanical hands gently touched the Acabert Alloy Heavy Sword’s hilt at the back.
What was it going to do?
This was the question that rose in everyone’s minds, even main commentator Jin Ruisi held his breath.
With a swish, the two crossed Heavy Swords were slowly drawn from behind.
The dim sword bodies were revealed little by little to the audience.
Thud, thud!
Two muffled sounds echoed as puffs of dust rose on either side of the mecha.
The heavy sword points touched the ground.
Arms spread wide, the two Heavy Swords were placed diagonally to each side, the whole mecha seeming to be ready to charge.
Could it be that the box doesn’t contain a weapon?
People couldn’t help but speculate again.
The competition was about to start, what exactly was the Extreme Special Soldier doing?
“Countdown 5, 4, …”
The huge voice in the sky kept echoing, signaling the horn for the fourth round of the competition to begin.
“Is that box really not a weapon? Could it be fighting with a pair of swords? Damn, what a waste of my emotions.”
“Then why the hell did he bring a box up here!”
However, unlike the ordinary audience, there was a different look in the eyes of those seasoned High Tier Ace Mechanical Masters from the Mecha Association in the special spectator seats, people like Naden and the Ran Family.
“This posture isn’t one of a dual-wielding charge, instead it looks more like…”
The hands of the Extreme Special Soldier suddenly let go.
Thud!
Both heavy swords landed on the ground at the same time, and the palms of the Extreme Special Soldier, now open and facing downward, were empty.
The chattering mouths of the audience froze in unison.
The black Mecha’s hands came together in front of its chest and reached into the black metal long box.
Both hands grasped the weapon in front of them, and then the Mecha slowly rose.
A bright and dazzling brilliance began to shine from the hands of the black Mecha.
And this bright and eye-catching color cast itself inch by inch into the eyes of every single spectator.
Then what followed was a scene that shocked everyone; nearly all the onlookers stood up, hands bracing against the railings in front of them, eyes glued to the weapon in the Mecha’s hands.
Its length had already surpassed the height of the Extreme Special Soldier.
At this moment, the Mecha, with both hands holding the weapon at chest level, presented its shape to the world in such a formal posture.
It was a weapon that resembled a spear, a halberd, and even more so a long spear.
For the time being, calling it a “long spear” seemed more appropriate.
The spearhead was like a Flying Dragon; spikes clustered on both sides.
Sixteen Triangular Points grouped together, surrounding that central sharp edge to form a fearsome spearhead glinting with countless icy lights!
Perhaps saying it glinted with icy light was not quite fitting, for clearly on top of the spearhead’s sharpness flowed a red as fierce as magma.
Below this spearhead, four blade ridges sprawled backward and then curled up, forming an arc that left one in awe.
It was a red spear blade, standing fierce and aggressive like the single wing of a Flying Dragon.
Below this connected spear blade lay the entire shaft of the spear, which up close resembled a crystalline structure with uneven surfaces. Yet, when illuminated, it reflected a brilliance as dazzling as Diamonds.
The intense fiery red gradually faded, dissipating before it reached the middle of the shaft, and further down, spread a pure and chilling Frost Blue.
The Frost Blue became purer as it descended.
At the bottom, a half-meter long Ice Blue gun handle perfectly rounded off the weapon, the cold light of the tip sparking a chill just by looking at it.
Under the light of the stellar rays, the Chi red and the Ice Blue flowed within the shaft of the spear, projected through special crystals, intoxicating to behold.
Such beauty, even the most discerning of women could not refuse.
That wasn’t just a weapon, that was an artistic masterpiece that could steal the very essence of heaven and earth.
Countless people held their breath, their eyes locked tightly on the weapon, refusing to miss a single detail.
In the special seating area, that small group of ace Mecha pilots standing at the pinnacle of the starry sky could not hide their admiration in their eyes.
How could such aesthetics belong to a weapon!?
And yet, it was indeed a weapon, a Cold Weapon that seemed to possess a life of its own.
This resplendently shining long weapon lay quietly in the hands of the Extreme Special Soldier. A hint of light sparked in its eyes, and a murmuring voice rose within the cockpit:
“This is… the Flame Rain Frost Blue!”
