"This, this is an accident." Yu Sheng explained awkwardly, then tilted his head to look at Yun Xiao. However, Yun Xiao's eyes were fixed on the light screen, and he ignored Yu Sheng's explanation. "Stand up."
Yu Sheng quickly concentrated his attention and focused on operating the mecha. The silver dragon got up from the ground swiftly and performed running, jumping and rolling movements smoothly. As if to prove that it was indeed an accident, it even did a backflip.
Yu Sheng performed exceptionally well and kept the Silver Dragon standing steadily, without the previous situation where it staggered and had to stand firm during the somersault.
Yu Sheng touched his nose and felt that his level of completion should be passing.
"The speed and jumping angle of the backflip are not up to standard." Yunxiao criticized mercilessly.
Yu Sheng blushed slightly at the criticism, then heard Yun Xiao's tone soften, "If this is your first time using a mecha, this level of skill is worthy of praise."
Yu Sheng's face turned even hotter. In the eyes of a StarCraft champion like Yunxiao, his movements might be as immature as a primary school student, or even worse than that. He really didn't deserve the praise.
"I will practice hard." Yu Sheng promised firmly.
"I know you're diligent," Yun Xiao said calmly, "but you must master the method."
There was also a connection cap on the co-pilot seat. Yunxiao put it on his head and said to Yusheng, "Open the access to me."
Yu Sheng quickly asked Yin Long to authorize Yun Xiao. Yu Sheng's mental power was still wandering around Yin Long's body. In an instant, Yu Sheng felt that his mental power was touched and tested by another person's powerful mental power. Yu Sheng subconsciously retracted his mental power.
"Don't be afraid." Yun Xiao's voice rang in Yu Sheng's ears, "Accept me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Sheng felt like he had fallen into the deep sea, being enveloped by the water rushing in from all directions. The suffocating feeling made Yu Sheng instinctively struggle, his mental power in a mess, attacking aimlessly. Yun Xiao's voice intensified, and each word resonated in Yu Sheng's mind, "Accept me."
Yu Sheng tried to relax. Gradually, the suffocation subsided, and the cold water seemed to warm up, until he swam through the water like a fish. The two spiritual energies had harmoniously blended together, and the feeling was warm and comfortable. Yu Sheng tried to control the mecha and moved it, and then he felt the silver dragon's right arm rise.
The feeling of two mental powers working together to control the mecha was very mysterious. Yu Sheng felt that when Yunxiao was in charge of the movements, it was like someone was holding his hand and teaching him how to write.
Yunxiao guided Yusheng through various maneuvers, maneuvering the Silver Dragon. He didn't teach Yusheng any specific moves, but instead demonstrated every movement—running, jumping, and rolling—along with analysis of how to use basic movements for attack, defense, and evasion. This helped Yusheng's previously confused areas suddenly become clear. The novel teaching method of combining mental energy and dual control also allowed Yusheng to experience the subtle differences firsthand, deepening his understanding of mecha movements.
When Yunxiao said it was time to log off, Yu Sheng hadn't realized that so much time had passed.
"It's time for me to log off." Yu Sheng scratched his head and said sincerely, "Although I don't quite understand why you want to be friends with me, thank you very much."
Yunxiao looked indifferent and said, "Tomorrow, same time, same room." After saying that, he logged off without waiting for Yu Sheng to say hello.
Yu Sheng was a little confused. He always felt that Yunxiao was not very happy, but he really couldn't guess what he was thinking. He had to attribute this to the fact that he was too stupid and too difficult to teach. He was even more determined to practice hard.
…
The door of the virtual warehouse opened, and Frey walked out, frowning.
The personal terminal was already filled with messages, all of which were about the big and small affairs of Mantu Star and Wen Star. Frey leaned over the desk and began a new round of busy work.
Why teach Yu Sheng mecha?
He had clearly already decided to let Yu Sheng live safely under his wings, and he would give Yu Sheng the greatest protection and freedom within his ability.
But Frey subconsciously understood that the freedom Yu Sheng wanted was definitely not something he could give him.
After reviewing more than a dozen documents, Frey stood up to relax. He unconsciously walked to the window facing the grove. Sure enough, the familiar figure was still there, sweating under the starry sky.
I shouldn't have taught him that. Wouldn't it be better to just let him be a pet, safe under my protection? Frey thought.
But on the second night, Yunxiao still appeared in the room of the mecha training ground on time, watching Yu Sheng waving at him while controlling the silver dragon.
Yesterday's awkwardness had completely vanished. Yu Sheng happily opened the cabin door, stepped forward, and put his arm around Yun Xiao's shoulder. "Here I am! I'm going to trouble you again today!"
Yunxiao passed a complete set of preliminary training plans to Yusheng. Yusheng looked at the detailed plan densely packed with diagrams on his personal panel, and felt surprised and embarrassed. He always felt that Yunxiao was making unilateral efforts, but he didn't know what to give in return.
Yunxiao opened the virtual battlefield in the room, and the next moment, the silver dragon appeared in a wasteland. On the light screen, a giant wolf that was half the size of the silver dragon was baring its teeth ferociously, crawling on its front paws, staring at the silver dragon with its green eyes, ready to attack at any time.
"Do your best to defeat it." Yunxiao said.
Just when Yu Sheng and Yun Xiao were teleported to the virtual battlefield for rehearsal, Randy and Caesar, who were originally Yu Sheng's mecha instructors, were sitting outside the room, watching the live broadcast of the virtual battlefield battle. In addition to analyzing Yu Sheng's moves and progress, they were also analyzing Yun Xiao as a person.
Of course, Xize was not so naive as to think that Yunxiao came to make friends with Yu Sheng, but he had to admit that even he, who prided himself on being cunning and shrewd, and Randy, a military strategist who had seen countless people, could not analyze Yunxiao's purpose.
Yunxiao, like a simple mentor and friend, guides Yusheng to progress.
"Has Yixiu found out the identity of Yunxiao?" Caesar asked Randy.
Randy shook his head solemnly. "The results show that Yunxiao is just a minor noble from a remote planet. It's so fake. It's obvious that he is deliberately hiding it for others to see."
Xi Ze gave up after hearing that. If he couldn't even find Yi Xiu, one of the most famous hackers in the entire interstellar space, it only meant that Yun Xiao had a very deep background, and was definitely not something that their small Freedom Alliance organization, which was only in its infancy, could deal with.
Yu Sheng, on the screen, gritted his teeth, feeling the silver dragon's violent tremors. He manipulated the dragon to roll on the ground, attempting to knock down the giant wolf that had leaped atop the dragon, biting its head. However, as the dragon rolled, the wolf accurately pressed its claws against the mecha cabin just above the dragon's center. If the dragon's shell hadn't been resilient, Yu Sheng would have been drawn out by its claws. Even if the dragon's shell withstood the attack, the resulting vibrations left Yu Sheng dizzy, and his mental coverage of the dragon became unstable.
"Yu Sheng made a misjudgment." Caesar discussed with Randy while looking at the screen. "When facing an extremely agile opponent like the giant wolf, you absolutely cannot use rolling to create distance. Otherwise, not only will you fail to avoid it, but you will also expose your weaknesses."
"Yes, I'm afraid Yu Sheng will fail in this virtual battlefield challenge." Randy also nodded.
However, unexpectedly, the silver dragon suddenly used its two mechanical arms to tightly grasp the wolf on its chest, and then extended its wings behind it, instantly carrying the giant wolf into the sky, and then threw the giant wolf down from the sky. The giant wolf fell heavily to the ground, its flesh and blood were blurred.
At the same time, a notification sounded in Yu Sheng's ears, "Virtual Battlefield Primary 09 Scenario, Challenge Successful."
Having just been teleported back to his room from the virtual battlefield, Yu Sheng said, "Just now it really was... If it weren't for you, I would have been eaten by a wolf."
Yunxiao's expression was stern. "You have too little experience in mecha combat to know how to employ tactics against the enemy. From today on, in addition to 300 sets of basic training, you must pass at least ten virtual battlefields. I'll set the difficulty."
Yu Sheng nodded. He fully trusted Yunxiao, a responsible mentor.
In theory, the fatigue of the interstellar network will not be reflected in reality, but after several hours of devilish training, Yu Sheng still felt as soft as noodles. When he left the virtual warehouse, he just wanted to throw himself on the bed.
Thinking that his real-life training was not yet complete, Yu Sheng took a cold shower to sober himself up, then gritted his teeth and went to the grove.
After completing the training before bed, Yu Sheng dragged his heavy steps back to the pet room and fell asleep.
Mecha training and combat training alone are enough to fill Yu Sheng's days.
As time went by, not only did Yu Sheng become increasingly familiar with his fellow members of the Freedom Alliance, but even Yun Xiao, who had originally been the most distant, became one of Yu Sheng's most trusted companions. Yu Sheng even privately asked Xi Ze if he could also recruit Yun Xiao into the Freedom Alliance, but Xi Ze sternly warned him not to reveal the organization's existence, so Yu Sheng gave up.
No matter what, Yunxiao's help to him cannot be erased.
In just over ten days, although there are still four months to go before the Interstellar Mecha Competition, the Interstellar Fighting Competition is about to begin.
"Come on, Yu Sheng!" The friends from the Freedom League cheered for Yu Sheng.
"You have to work hard too." Not only Yu Sheng, in fact everyone has signed up for the Interstellar Fighting Competition, but they don't expect to get a high ranking. They just want to train and improve themselves. The focus of the Free Alliance is still on Yu Sheng.
During this time, Yunxiao took over the mecha training, but Xi Ze continued to oversee the combat training. Haidun, returning from his exams, excitedly told Yusheng that he'd placed 52nd in the combat department and insisted on treating Yusheng to a meal. Afterward, he and Yusheng engaged in a routine sparring match. Twenty minutes later, Haidun, convinced of his considerable progress, lay on the ground, convinced.
"Qiuqiu, if you can't make it into the top 100 in this interstellar fighting competition, I will run naked on live broadcast!" Haidun shouted.
"Please stand on the teleportation array one by one, and we will conduct random matching."
After the opening ceremony of the Star Fighting Tournament, the official competition began. Yu Sheng stood in the center of a circular light array. As the electronic countdown sounded, the light array suddenly lit up. The next moment, he was standing on the left side of the fighting stage, facing a bald, muscular man.
After the match began, within ten moves, the provocative muscleman was beaten to the ground. Yu Sheng earned ten points and was quickly teleported out. After a five-minute rest, he was teleported back to the fighting arena.
The preliminary round of the StarCraft Fighting Tournament will not be broadcast live in its entirety. The live broadcast room will only select the top 100 players or potential and well-known players in the past for live broadcast.
For example, even though the preliminary round has been going on for nineteen days, Yunxiao is still on almost ninety percent of the screen in the current virtual live broadcast room. Although Yunxiao only has a slightly ordinary face at this time, it does not affect his popularity at all.
"Ahhhh my husband is so strong he can crush his opponent!"
"Already 2,000 points, hahahaha, I'm sending flowers like crazy to Master Yunxiao!"
“#The fear of being dominated by Yunxiao in those years#”
"Mortals, pray that you don't run into our Great God Yunxiao!"
“…”
The female reporter broadcasting the match live was clearly a Yunxiao fanatic. Seeing Yunxiao easily win ten points and then leave the stage, she covered her face and said, "Master Yunxiao has defeated his opponent once again. I believe he'll soon be the first to accumulate 2,500 points and become the first player to advance!"
There were bursts of long-lasting cheers and applause from the live broadcast hall.
"Well, let's take a look at the current standings! Our great Yunxiao is naturally the undisputed number one, leaving the second place far behind with a gap of 280 points. The second place is also an old acquaintance, the so-called fighting genius 'Top of the Tower', with 1,730 points. The third place is... Huh?" The female reporter's voice paused.
Everyone watching the live broadcast paused for a moment. They originally thought that the third one would still be the "Pegasus that fell into the river", but looking at the reporter's reaction, could it be someone else?
"Tailless Ballmon, 1,700 points! That's a name I've never heard of!" The female reporter keenly sensed the explosiveness of this news and acted decisively, "Let's check this competitor's past results... Fifth Division!" The female reporter exclaimed in surprise, "Looks like he's a true dark horse! Don't worry, viewers! We'll immediately start a live stream of Tailless Ballmon and try to get everyone acquainted with this rising martial arts expert!"
At this time, Yu Sheng had no idea of the sensation he had caused by accumulating points too quickly. He was standing on the fighting stage, facing a slender woman.
The first time Yu Sheng saw this woman, he felt she looked familiar. When he saw the name above her head, he suddenly realized that this was a smaller version of Anna! He didn't expect to run into someone he knew even at a fighting competition!
Anna, who went by the online name "Anna Who Wants to Raise a Blue Beast," clenched her fists. She was a natural strongman, and it was this very fact that had earned her acceptance as a maid at the Frey residence. She could beat ten of the pretty boys like that Ball Beast across from her!
As soon as the match began, Anna roared and swung her fist at Yu Sheng, striking him with a powerful punch, a move not unlike her usual burly form. Yu Sheng jerked back, his body arching at an incredible angle, effectively dodging the punch.
A female reporter from Star Network, who had just arrived and captured the scene, exclaimed, "Oh, humans can actually achieve this angle! This is incredible! It seems this tailless spherical beast has some unique tricks to surpass so many veterans and leap into third place!"
Anna was also startled by the pretty boy in front of her. After she reacted, she immediately turned around and kicked Yu Sheng with her legs, trying to break Yu Sheng's balance with brute force. However, in an instant, Yu Sheng supported his entire body with only one hand, and his feet were suspended in the air. Anna continued to kick Yu Sheng's hand that was supporting the ground. Yu Sheng turned over, and his hands landed alternately on the ground. His body quickly rotated and retreated, making the audience dazzled. It seemed that Yu Sheng's movements were almost becoming shadows.
There was an uproar in the live broadcast hall. When Yu Sheng took down Anna with a backhand chop, the restlessness in the hall became even worse. The dark horse called "Tailless Ball Beast" was discussed heatedly in the live broadcast hall.
"How can it be that these days, even the best fighters have ordinary faces..."
"Don't you understand the market? On the Starnet, the uglier someone is in real life, the more beautiful they appear, and the more beautiful someone is in real life, the more ordinary they appear!"
"You're so superficial! The point is this fighting ability! Ahhh! I'm going to have a new man!"
"Combat power is attractive +1. Although this ball beast didn't end the battle as quickly and swiftly as Yunxiao and Gaota, it was very capable from beginning to end! I wonder if it could be a match for Gaota and Yunxiao in a real fighting arena..."
"That's impossible! My Yunxiao male god will never be defeated by such a nobody..."
“…”
No matter how heated the online discussions became, Yu Sheng remained oblivious. He continued to play, earn points, play, earn points. The preliminary rounds lasted twenty-five days, and after calculating his points, he had more than enough time left for six days. Yu Sheng decided not to push himself any further, and after this match, he was about to log off, but was stopped by a female reporter who had been watching him for a while.
"Wait a minute! This tailless spherical player!" Even in her 20cm high heels, the female reporter dashed over to Yu Sheng, interrupting him offline. "Excuse me, you've jumped to third place in the standings. What are your thoughts?"
Facing the microphone, Yu Sheng was stunned for a moment, "Pretty good?"
What kind of answer is that? The female reporter was speechless, then continued, "Everyone is very curious about where you studied. You must have been a very outstanding military academy student, right? Let me guess, was it the best Mousse Military Academy in the entire galaxy?"
Yu Sheng shook his head honestly. "I didn't go to school. As for where my teachers were..." Most of them were trained in military academies on Earth. After arriving in the interstellar space, many people taught him. "Sorry, so many people have helped me. I can't list them all."
"Wow! He's a self-taught genius?"
"Look carefully at all the major military academies. Even those who learn on their own are better than you guys. Isn't that a slap in the face?"
"Even the instructor of the military academy's combat class couldn't beat this level, right? Could he be a frontline soldier?"
"Impossible! Regular interstellar soldiers are not allowed to participate in this kind of national fighting competition..."
Seeing that she couldn't get anything out of Yu Sheng during the interview, the female reporter had to let Yu Sheng go with regret.
Yu Sheng climbed out of the virtual warehouse and thought while drinking water that he was still weak in strength. He must find an effective training method so that he would be more confident in meeting the requirements of the Freedom Alliance.
