In just five minutes, Kira Yamato completed his third kill in "Warfire".

This battle lasted longer than the previous two, not because Kira Yamato's opponent was particularly strong, but because his opponent adopted a hit-and-run style from the start, not giving him a chance to deliver a fatal blow.

However, as the battle progressed, Kira Yamato seized upon an opponent's mistake and caught up, piercing his chest with a single sword strike.

Inspired by this, the fourth challenger also chose a hit-and-run tactic, hoping to buy time and find an opportunity to strike.

To the astonishment of the spectators, Kira Yamato pulled out a sniper energy rifle he had obtained from the second challenger.

The fourth challenger was swatted dead in the battle like a fly.

Then came the fifth, the sixth...

When his tenth opponent was driven to the brink of defeat by his precise sniping and fierce swordsmanship, and surrendered with his hands raised, the entire atmosphere of "War" changed.

Damn! He can't win in close combat, and he can't win with long-range sniping. This Kira Yamato is practically a bug in the system.

Anyone, please stop him!

This is the same thought in the minds of every amateur mecha enthusiast. In just one hour, Kira and this guy have already leveled up to Level 3 Mecha Warrior.

While people were waiting for the eleventh match, Kira Yamato left the battle zone and disappeared.

"coward!"

"mean!"

"Win and run!"

The spectator area erupted in curses. Zhang Fan pretended not to hear them.

Am I stupid? You think I'm going to let you use a tag-team approach?

Moreover, after ten battles, Zhang Fan's character backpack was already full of mecha parts obtained from victories, so he had to remove some of them.

Zhang Fan controlled the mecha to return to the port, but was intercepted by someone halfway there.

"Knight Commander William?" Zhang Fan looked at the other person's ID. "Who are you?"

“I’m lucky,” William said with a smile. “I really caught you here.”

The pilot of the silver-white mecha with the ID "Knight Commander William" is none other than Major William Xia, the head of the guards at Crescent Villa.

"Sounds like you're here to cause trouble too, right?" Zhang Fan pointed his sword at him. "A fight?"

“No need.” William Xia smiled slightly and took the spear off his back. “This is the wilderness area, where you can engage in unrestricted PvP.”

"Just a heads up, I'm an eighth-level mecha fighter."

Swoosh—

William Xia raised his long spear in his silver-white mech and aimed straight for Zhang Fan's face.

Clang!

Zhang Fan drew his twin swords and parried Xia Weilian's spear.

Huh?

Zhang Fan realized that his mecha was being pushed back by the opponent.

"I've already said it, I'm a Level 8 Mech Warrior."

In "Warfire", mech warriors are divided into nine levels. There are only ten legendary level nine mech warriors. The only way for a level eight mech warrior to advance to level nine is to defeat a level nine mech warrior in a challenge.

William Xia is the number one among the level eight mecha fighters and is hailed as the person most likely to be promoted to the legendary level nine mecha fighter. He is currently the only level eight mecha fighter with an undefeated record.

In other words, the opponents that William Xia defeated in "War" included even level eight mech fighters of the same rank, and there was no exaggeration in the slightest.

For William Xia, the world of "War" is a very interesting place.

The world of "Warfire" is vast, so vast that it has servers throughout Farsham, with tens of thousands of mech enthusiasts entering "Warfire" every day to compete.

This platform is paradise for mech pilots. Here, they don't have to worry about injuries or fatalities, and they can even have a friendly spar with mech pilots from enemy countries.

For the Mech Academy, certain real-time battles in "Warfire" have become assessment items for students, much like actual combat exercises. Many students register accounts in "Warfire" to hone their skills.

As a result, active-duty mech pilots from the Ryan National Army and the Fashan Army will also have their own accounts in "Warfire".

For Ryan and Fass's mech pilots, Warfire is their second battlefield.

There are two ways to level up in "War" 1. One is to complete missions to earn points. This is a slower but safer way to level up. The other is to defeat the winner and get half of their points. This is a faster way to level up, but losing a match will send you back to square one.

For William Xia, maintaining his undefeated record as a Level 8 Mech Warrior was because he hadn't logged into his "Warfire" account for a long time. He wouldn't have logged in this time if it weren't for Princess Alice's situation.

Once you enter active service, you'll find that piloting a mech in real life is completely different from piloting one in "War of the Titans." In reality, mech pilots who are destroyed have no chance of being resurrected.

No matter how realistic Warfire is, the fear of death cannot be 100% simulated. Even if the simulator's pain sensitivity is set to 100%, it will still give people an unreal feeling of playing the game.

The psychological resilience one possesses when facing death can greatly influence the outcome of a battle.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Zhang Fan piloted his mech and fired three consecutive sniper energy bullets, all of which were blocked by the energy shield of Xia William's mech; the opponent didn't even try to dodge.

Unfortunately, they weren't physical bullets. Zhang Fan gritted his teeth, threw away the sniper energy gun, grabbed the molten twin swords, and activated the mech's back thrusters to maximum power, charging towards Xia William.

Clang!

William Xia's spear pierced the crossed, molten double swords, forcing Zhang Fan to retreat.

boom!

Zhang Fan's mecha crashed into the back of a floating asteroid.

Click! Click! Click!

The physical blades of the molten twin swords showed signs of cracking. Under the opponent's immense pressure, half of Zhang Fan's mecha was embedded in the rock and soil on its back, leaving him with no way to escape.

“You may think it’s unfair, but that’s reality.” William Xia turned the mecha’s thrusters to maximum power, the spearhead pointing directly at the heart of Zhang Fan’s mecha. “Inferior people should have the awareness of inferior people. Don’t try to challenge the authority of the nobles.”

"Screw reality!" Zhang Fan gritted his teeth. "I'll show you how to break this unfairness!"

The engine power instantly increased to 100,000 RPM, and the mecha piloted by Zhang Fan turned fiery red, with the transformed liquid metal flowing through the mecha like blood.

Huh?

In the instant Xia Weilian was surprised, Zhang Fan had already broken free of his restraints and appeared on his left side like a ghost.

William Xia was clearly unprepared for Zhang Fan's sudden turn of events; he watched helplessly as the sword in Zhang Fan's hand pierced his chest.

The fear of death instantly enveloped him. After all, William Xia was a battle-hardened active-duty soldier. He instantly twisted his body, and his longsword slashed across the mech's chest, just a few centimeters away from the depth of the cockpit, leaving a three-meter-long gash with sparks flashing at the crack.

Swoosh—

William Xia piloted his mech and retreated rapidly, simultaneously launching missiles to block Zhang Fan's pursuit route.

"Nerve pulsations?"

After retreating to a safe distance, William Xia looked at Zhang Fan's fiery red mecha with astonishment.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Zhang Fan didn't know what Xia William meant by "neurops." The mecha gradually faded from its fiery red color and turned back to its original dark gray.

"Is it a coincidence?" William Xia examined the damage data of his mech. It could still fight. "Then I can't let you live!"

"You must die today!"

Whoosh whoosh——

Three missiles flew past, and William Xia swung his spear and shot them down one by one.

Because of this delay, William Xia stopped where he was and looked in the direction from which the missile had come.

A black and white striped mech flew over from a distance.

"Level 9 mecha fighter Wang Baihu?" Xia William's pupils contracted instantly. He glanced at Zhang Fan, then turned his mecha around and sped away. "Kid, you're lucky today. See you later!"

"Hey, hey, don't run away! We're not done fighting yet."

"Stop chasing."

It was Wang Desheng's voice.
