I must say, this mecha competition was incredibly exciting to watch.

More than twenty mechs went up in total, all kinds of them, with different shapes, appearances, personalities and configurations, but they all surprisingly matched the pilots very well.

It moves like a flexible person, and can achieve a wide range of motion.

The scene was filled with flames. With the protective shield in place, the competition allowed for heavy firepower attacks on the opponent, so it was inevitable that knives and guns would be used. S-class laser cannons, chain knives, tail wings, tiger claws, and all sorts of other weapons were used.

After using the weapons, Lin Yiran truly felt the power of technology.

This is something that cannot be compared to anything in Earth's time; she had only ever imagined such a scene in science fiction novels.

It was really enjoyable to watch.

"Hey, that's the third one. This Taotie mech has defeated the third person. He's pretty strong, isn't he?" Jin Shuo said, looking at the center of the arena. Then he asked Lin Yiran for a green grape drink.

Han Bing: "His strength is not bad, but he is too impatient and his moves are full of loopholes. If he encounters a patient opponent, he can be defeated directly."

"Besides, this person is an S-class mecha pilot, while almost all the previous ones were A-class mecha pilots, so there's not much to compare. Let's wait and see."

Jin Shuo nodded: "That's right, there's a world of difference between S-class mechs and A-class mech pilots."

But this S-class mecha is indeed powerful; even Lin Yiran, who doesn't know much about mechas, could tell.

The main reason is that he has remained in the arena since he stepped onto the stage and has never been defeated. He is now facing his tenth opponent, three of whom are S-class mechs. This is enough to show that this Taotie mech pilot is quite skilled.

Another S-class mecha pilot came up, was immediately defeated, and kicked off the stage.

The atmosphere on the field reached its peak, with many people cheering and shouting, supporting the Taotie mecha! Even Lin Yiran, sitting on the viewing platform, was infected by the atmosphere below.

It's so exciting!

As I was thinking, the twelfth S-class mecha pilot stepped onto the stage.

It was a silver-gray leopard-print mech. When it appeared, there were cheers on the field, but they were all cheering for the winner.

Everyone watched the game below with great interest and anticipation for the outcome.

If it wins again this time, this Taotie mech will most likely become the winner of this competition, because none of the previous mechs have had as many challengers as it.

A series of battles is inherently a physically demanding process.

But that person only grew stronger with each battle. His constitution was truly remarkable.

The leopard-print mech launched the first attack, using the ancient martial arts sword that came with the mech. Its chaotic moves protected itself in the middle, forming a protective circle that almost no one could break through.

But the opponent is a mech soldier who has won eleven consecutive games.

The other person went straight up and kicked, using brute force to break through the opponent's defense. From that moment on, Lin Yiran knew that the leopard-print mech was no match for the opponent.

Swordsmanship has too many fancy moves, which are not offensive enough, and it is too complicated. If the opponent can break through his defense with brute force, it proves that the opponent is very strong.

Intricate and complicated moves offer no advantage in the face of absolute superior strength.

As expected, the leopard-print mech suffered a crushing defeat within minutes of taking the stage.

"This Taotie mech is indeed powerful," Lin Yiran exclaimed, but it is definitely not as powerful as Murong Zaiye's. Although he is a 2S mech pilot, his own strength is not weak either.

I knew that from the last time I saw him make a move.

Jin Shuo snorted coldly: "He's just so-so. This guy relies too much on brute force. If brute force could win, why would you let him fight those mutated plants? A few vines would tie him up and he wouldn't be able to move."

"If we're going to do real combat in the Forest of Hope, the mech's agility and the pilot's agility are very important. Someone like him would be killed instantly if he went there!"

Lin Yiran felt that Jin Shuo was right.

Because Jin Shuo was a mercenary, he had been to the Forest of Hope more times than she had, and he had returned safely every time, which shows that he had a wealth of practical experience.

Furthermore, as a 2S mech pilot, his strength is not to be underestimated.

Han Bing egged him on from the side, saying, "If you're so capable, why don't you do it?"

Jin Shuo cracked peanuts: "Don't provoke me. I'm just here to finish my studies and go back to inherit the family business. I don't plan to show off, and I don't plan to join the army. What would I do down there?"

One person from the family who goes to the military is enough.

His brother is also very capable.

Han Bing: "It's nothing. We're just going down there to deflate this guy's arrogance. He's a newbie, he still needs more experience. It's not good for him to be so arrogant."

"If I were in your class, I would have gone down and beaten him up just now. People who are not strong have no right to be arrogant."

"Humility makes one progress."

That kind of mental fortitude?

Lin Yiran listened from the side with wide eyes. No wonder Han Bing was on the school team. His mentality was unbeatable!

Turning her head to look at her right side, An Peipei's eyes sparkled again.

"Waaah, he's so handsome!" Although she said it in a very soft voice, Lin Yiran felt that Han Bing probably heard her because when she looked over, the tips of Han Bing's ears were a little red.

Perhaps... she was shy.

Lin Yiran couldn't help but laugh.

Jin Shuo: "Let's forget it. If a 2S mech soldier beats him up despite being a level above him, people will just say I'm bullying the weak. I'm afraid I'll be the one getting scolded later."

Han Bing: "Why don't you just fight him with your S-class mecha? Your 2S-class mental power will be restricted inside the S-class mecha and you won't be able to use it. How is that bullying others?"

"Besides, if you don't tell me, how will anyone know you have 2S-level mental strength?"

The higher the level of mech soldiers and mech pilots, the more classified they are. So, the students at the school only heard that a 2S-level mech soldier was recruited this year, but no one knew who this person was or what he looked like.

This is a form of protection for them.

Jin Shuo: "...What you said makes sense, but I think...it's troublesome..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the atmosphere on the stage reached a fever pitch after the Taotie mech on the stage kicked another S-class mech away.

Everyone was cheering and dancing, celebrating the victory of the Taotie mech.

At this moment, the Taotie mecha, which was still on the arena, raised its voice and shouted across the distance: "I heard that our school has recruited a new 2S-level mecha soldier this year. I wonder if you dare to come out and fight me!"

"Oh, oh, a war, a war! Come out, come out! 2S mech soldiers, come out and fight, come out and fight!"
