Ever since they captured the enemy's defensive stronghold in the large warehouse, Li Xin and his mechas have been idle.

There are no longer any stubborn defensive strongholds on the surface of the entire Behemoth Steel Plant.

Naturally, there is no need to waste the mecha's energy to sweep.

At this time, more than 20 mechas have been stationed in groups at some defensive strongholds.

These defensive strongholds all have underground passages underneath.

The mecha's alert defense, combined with the preserved entrances to the underground tunnels, will be the channels for the army to enter the underground and eliminate the enemy in the future.

In the stronghold above, two mechas were engaging in close combat.

Neither side's power weapons were deployed, they were just used for practice.

"kill!"

A short sword servant holding a power halberd roared and rushed towards the opponent, thrusting the power halberd in his hand suddenly, and then slashed quickly.

The characteristics of the power halberd are brought into full play.

The characteristic of the power halberd is that it can be used as a spear or a long-handled sword.

The dagger servant on the opposite side dodged quickly. The mecha seemed quite flexible at this time, and it was impossible to tell that it was a large mechanical creature that was more than seven meters tall.

Those involved in the battle are Li Xin and Feng Dai.

Feng Dai's melee level is also D4.

This is already their seventh day of practice here, and these days are considered to be the most idle time for the fifth group.

"At this point, Feng Dai and I should be at about the same level in real melee combat."

"But, in training, you can't show it like this."

"If I really show the same fighting skills as Feng Dai, then I may not be rewarded."

"Perhaps Feng Dai and Jiang Lou will start to wonder if I've been corrupted by Chaos."

“It’s really a headache!”

Li Xin's close combat skills improved so quickly that it was less than two months since he became a mecha pilot.

Is it possible to go from a rookie who knows nothing to a veteran mecha pilot in less than two months?

Obviously it won't work, don't tell others that they don't believe it.

Sometimes even Li Xin himself wondered if he had been corrupted by Chaos, but it just hadn't shown yet.

The close combat continues.

The power weapons of both sides continued to collide and block.

Li Xin is the attacker, while Feng Dai is the defender.

The power halberd kept stabbing or slashing.

Feng Dai kept dodging, sometimes using a power sword or armored shield to block attacks.

"Use your power halberd to attack his lower body!"

Not far away, Jiang Lou's mecha was also waiting here, and he would give Li Xin some instructions from time to time.

Li Xin quickly followed Jiang Lou's advice and continuously attacked Feng Dai's lower body with his power halberd.

This type of attack quickly made Feng Dai's defense somewhat stretched.

"No! It's not fun to just passively take a beating all the time!"

"And how come you're making such rapid progress!"

"Li Xin, you can't be a genius!"

Feng Dai's complaining voice rang out in the mecha and echoed around.

"Haha! Of course I am a genius. If I am not a genius, how could I have the honor to team up with you!" Li Xin also laughed.

But the attack did not stop.

"I really need to pretend to be a genius!"

"Master's instructions just now coincide with my own combat experience. The D4-level close combat technique was originally intended to attack Feng Dai's lower body."

"But I can't do this proactively. Instead, I wait for my master to give me guidance and then quickly comprehend it. That way, others will think I'm a genius who can quickly absorb and apply guidance!"

"The persona of a genius is a very useful thing. It can do more than just disguise me."

"It will also allow me to obtain more resource support!"

Li Xin absorbs the enemy's psychic signals and transcodes them into his own experience.

This is a huge improvement for his various experiences. If he doesn't maintain the image of a genius, he can't just come up with a D4 level melee skill all at once.

This is too eye-catching.

This is not what Li Xin needs. Becoming stronger imperceptibly is the only way to be safe.

During this period, whenever Li Xin had nothing to do, he would drag Feng Dai and Jiang Lou to practice.

When practicing, he first disguised his close combat skills as D2 level, and then slowly improved.

"drink!"

Li Xin's mecha leaped up, and the power halberd in the mecha's hand chopped down heavily.

This sudden attack caught Feng Dai off guard, and the power halberd hit the shoulder of the mecha.

"You kid is trying to launch a sneak attack!" Feng Dai shouted.

"What are you talking about? How can this be called a sneak attack!" Li Xin immediately retorted.

The two sides are still fighting hard.

Jiang Lou said from the side, "Feng Dai, you better be more careful. If you keep slacking off like this, it won't be long before Li Xin's close combat skills catch up with you!"

"How is that possible? How long has he been practicing?!" Feng Dai immediately questioned.

"If my guess is correct, Li Xin's mecha melee skills should have reached the D3 level now!" Jiang Lou asked Li Xin.

"That's right, Master, I'm now a D3 level melee fighter!"

Li Xin said frankly that this was indeed what he showed temporarily.

Of course, he himself was only at the D4 level, and to be honest, his disguise wasn't particularly good.

For example, the attack just now was obviously a bit beyond the standard.

D-level melee skills are relatively low-level in themselves, and it is not easy for Li Xin to pretend now.

However, since they were teammates, Jiang Lou and Feng Dai did not have any doubts at all.

"Damn it! Are you on drugs? It hasn't been long and you're already D3!" Feng Dai shouted in shock after hearing the conversation between Jiang Lou and Li Xin.

"Tell me quickly, what drugs did you take? I want to take some too!"

"No, it's just that I've experienced battles and have been thinking about practicing fighting skills every night. Plus, I practice with you guys during the day, so my skills have improved quickly!" Li Xin explained embarrassedly.

"Li Xin has good talent. During the previous training, I could feel that he could get used to the mecha very quickly!" There was a smile in Jiang Lou's voice.

"Brother, you can't be a genius!"

"If you do this, I will have to cling to you!" Feng Dai said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Brother Feng. Once I've mastered all your close combat skills, I'll definitely give you my big thighs and take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks!"

"You're really rude, kid!"

"I've decided. I can't passively defend anymore. I'm going to start actively attacking!"

"Take my sword!"
