Chapter 146 Second Round

After getting close, Li Yi stimulated the micro-electric characteristics, stimulated the nerves around the eyes, and enhanced the efficiency of capturing external visual information.

Sizzle.

Accompanied by countless tiny blue arcs flickering gently, the clarity in front of Li Yi's eyes was directly raised to a higher level, and he observed the trail of light and flame left by the speeding car outside the gate.

Fortunately, the overall environment outside was quite dark, which made it easy to capture the remaining trail of light.

Liang Zhishen was also gazing far away, chasing after the almost invisible light.

After a while, Liang Zhishen asked, "After the car left here, it accelerated to the maximum speed. It must have traveled at least 40 to 50 kilometers, right?"

Li Yi nodded and said, "Not only that, there is no barrier outside. According to the acceleration and the time interval between the previous round trips, it is probably around 65 kilometers."

Liang Zhishen frowned slightly: "I remember that the road leading out from the west gate is smooth, it should be a plateau, why move the things there?"

Li Yi shook his head and said, "Who knows? Instructor, go mobilize your connections and check the owner of this license plate. Go now! I'll observe here for a while and then leave, so that the driver of the speeding car won't notice anything unusual."

Liang Zhishen did not hesitate. He agreed and turned away.

Li Yi looked for a while and found that there were spots of light flashing in front of him. Without looking at it any further, he turned around and left.

…

Li Yi prepared to go back and control the divine mecha, pretending to be out for actual machine training, and remotely observe the movements of the flying car through the detection system.

Combining the opponent's speed and direction, and several time intervals, he has more or less figured out the approximate location.

All we need to do next is search for traces in the surrounding area, and we will soon find out what the Supervisory Department’s flying car is trying to do.

Judging from the clues we have seen so far, there is definitely something wrong with this flying car.

A normal supervisory department would not act in this way.

However, Li Yi was also worried that things might go wrong, so he only planned to cruise at high altitude and not get close to suspicious areas.

After all, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Even if problems are found in the Supervisory Department, it is impossible to detonate it immediately.

At least it would be safer if there was support from a trustworthy boss.

It's a pity that the only powerful Heavenly Rank masters he has met and dealt with so far are the captain and Mo Chenlong, while Chen Qiongzhi is just a suspect.

Besides, I don’t know the captain very well, and Mo Chenlong is not here either.

"I hope it's just a minor problem so everything can be under control."

With a flash of thought, Li Yi ran back to the training ground, climbed directly onto the insertion cabin, entered, and started the Pluto mecha.

With his current foundation, he no longer needs to start up for half an hour like before. Now, it only takes a few tens of seconds to get it done.

On the side, Teng Juli and others who were training in the cockpit saw the gravity thrusters on the shoulder armor of the Pluto mecha generating vibration waves, and immediately asked in surprise: "Li Yi, where are you going?"

Li Yi replied: "I'm bored, so I'm going to check out the venue in advance. Do you want to join us?"

Teng Juli said: "Alright, it won't be very effective if we have a few people now anyway, let's go."

Li Yi originally wanted to go there alone, but then he changed his mind and decided that it would be better to hide his purpose under the excuse of visiting the venue, so that there would be no trace.

After all, if things are not kept secret, they will not be accomplished.

Moreover, the venue for the second round happened to be in the northwest of the continent, which was right on the way.

…

Boom!!! The two divine mechas left along the way, flying out along the dedicated entrance and exit of the divine mechas with flames flashing.

By the way, gravity thrusters also produce light. When the thrust reaches a certain level, they will emit a ring-shaped blue fluorescence.

Li Yi estimated that the color was probably related to the divine nature of the Pluto mecha.

If it is mounted on other types of celestial mechas, it may be a different color.

But no matter what, the ring-shaped fluorescence of the gravity thruster is much more stable than conventional flames, and it is also much cooler.

At this moment, a passage suddenly opened up above the mountain where the main base was located, shooting out two divine mechas that flew as fast as phantoms.

The Pluto Mecha led the way, and Teng Juli's Raging Tide Mecha followed closely behind, flying westward.

Teng Juli was surprised:

"Isn't the big peak in the northwest our second round battlefield? Why are you going directly west?"

Li Yi replied: "No hurry, let's take a look at the surrounding environment."

"Okay, whatever you want."

When the divine mecha flew out of the base mountains, Li Yi simultaneously turned on the long-range detection system and directly observed the area he had previously calculated.

Soon, he found traces of a flying car landing and a suspected underground entrance and exit.

Li Yi was slightly startled: "Is this the darkest place under the lamp, or is this just the entrance and exit of other sub-bases controlled by the Supervision Department?"

Confused, he looked around and found that there were quite a few people walking around.

It was very shallow, and on that almost solid ground, it was almost indistinguishable to the naked eye.

But at this moment, Li Yi, after exchanging the data for the analysis of the divine mecha information pattern last time, has mastered some more detailed and rare information patterns.

One part is the in-depth understanding of the traces of various materials, and the other part is the initial introduction to the traces of air flow disturbance.

Therefore, even if they are far apart, they can still make precise judgments on more subtle trace information based on the information obtained remotely.

During the flight, Li Yi sent the location he had just determined to Liang Zhishen’s personal communication.

He left a message saying, "This is the location I just remotely identified through the Pluto mecha. It is the entry and exit point for the target transported by the flying car. Instructor, please communicate with the main ship to confirm the disposal method, or let the main ship put pressure on the border star."

And attach the remote trace information obtained from the detection system.

Then, Li Yi no longer paid attention to this matter and flew straight to the big peak in the northwest of the continent.

All that should be done has been done, and the next step is to believe in the strength of the powerful people on the upper echelons of the Yao Chi ship.

After all, although there are many border defense flagships like the Yao Chi ship, they don’t seem to be a big deal.

But looking at the entire Xingyu Federation, a Yaochi ship is still a very powerful armed force.

It is indeed feasible to use the Yao Chi ship as a backing to detonate the problems of the Supervisory Department on the border star.

…

After flying for three thousand kilometers, the two divine mechas saw an extremely tall spike in the distance.

"Oh my god, it's so long."

Teng Juli exclaimed in amazement.

From a panoramic remote perspective, the Big Peak looks like a long, thin stick, poking into the dark sky, pointing vertically to the vast night sky.

The two originally thought that this was just an illusion caused by the distance being too far.

But when the two approached to a distance of three kilometers, they discovered that the huge peak was indeed long and thin.

It is about 67,000 meters long and only 500 meters in diameter, like a long needle on a cosmic scale, inserted upside down on the boundary star.

Compared with this terrifying length, the two divine mechas of more than 70 meters in length are like an undetectable dot, extremely small.

Teng Juli looked up and smacked his lips:

"I remember that the competition rules announced at that time were mainly about speed racing and heading battles, right?"

Li Yi also felt a toothache.

If the flight altitude was more than tens of thousands meters, he would definitely not find it strange because it is very common.

But if it were replaced with such a long 'pillar of heaven', it would be very strange.

This big spike is definitely not the result of natural evolution.

How could a 500-meter diameter tower be able to stand at a height of more than 67,000 meters? And it has stood for who knows how many years.

After thinking for a while, Li Yi said, "Are you worried about the high risk of the second round?"

Teng Juli Road:

"That's right. According to the rules of the competition, in the second round, 120 divine mechas will surround the foot of the Great Peak, take off at the same time, and race upwards. During this period, only the 10 divine mechas that reach the top first can become captains."

"But the problem with this is that those who are a little slower will definitely focus their fire on the first group and shoot from a distance."

"Moreover, the hardness of this big spike is terrifying. Unless you use the divine energy cannon to attack it with all your strength, it will most likely remain intact and you won't be disqualified."

“So, if you want to compete for the top ten, it’s not going to be easy.”

"If you were shot down at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters and your thrusters were frozen, the horrific load from the fall would definitely cause you a lot of damage to your body."

Li Yi smiled and said:

"Let's wait and see. I think this competition system is very interesting. The transition between offense and defense happens in an instant. It's very challenging."

Teng Juli's eyes lit up: "From the looks of you, you've already found a solution?"

Li Yi said: "Not really. This is more of a test of the ability to adapt to changing circumstances. If you want to play strategy, you must have a speed that exceeds the number of people. You can hide in the group behind at any time and look for opportunities to sprint forward."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"For someone like me, whose total amount of divinity is slightly insufficient and who can only rely on gravity thrusters and various small operations to turn the situation around, I can only sprint at full speed. Otherwise, if other fast and powerful people occupy the top ten, I will have no chance."

"Of course, it's not that there is no strategy at all."

"At that time, since there are no zoning restrictions, we can fly in the second group for a while, follow behind those B-class mechas, and wait for them to be targeted, then start to rush at high speed. Create a time difference, and then use the B-class mechas to block the attack."

Teng Juli gritted his teeth a little and said, "This is quite insidious, but I think it's okay, haha."

Li Yi touched his chin and said, "So, choosing a suitable B-class mecha to block the knife is something that needs to be considered carefully."

In fact, the second round only determines the top ten. Those after the top ten may have a chance to make a comeback in the third round with the help of a very strong captain.

The only difference is that the probability is low, and there is no guarantee that you will be chosen by a very strong captain.

The weak ones must also perform well, raise their rankings, and increase their chances of being chosen by the strong captains.

And those who were not selected in the last 20 will also miss the third round.

In addition, those who are confident of being chosen by a strong person with whom they have good connections will also do their best to assist that strong person to reach the top.

Therefore, in the actual second round of competition, in addition to avoiding shooting the big spike with the divine energy cannon fired at full power, the rest of the time, it is likely to be a more chaotic melee situation.

Under such circumstances, it is quite difficult to get into the top ten.

This high-difficulty competition mode is indeed worthy of this Youth Mecha Master Competition, which has the largest number of top-level experts participating in history.

…

The next day, there was still no response from the Yao Chi ship, but the second round of the competition had already begun.

Since the problem of transporting the flying car can be considered minor or major for the time being, Li Yi is now slightly relieved about the external safety of the second round of the competition.

In addition, after three days of casual chatting with several people on the Yao Chi ship, he also learned the origins of the drivers of the three B-class divine mechas that he had been paying attention to before.

The driver of the angel mecha is named Ning Feiyu, who is the senior mecha master of the Chang'e ship. He should be 33 years old. It is said that he is praised as a genius once in a century within the Chang'e ship.

The Fate God Sequence, the name is naturally not the Angel Mecha that Li Yi temporarily named, but the Yueyin Mecha.

The driver of the other snake-man mecha is Yu Longhui from the Teng Snake ship. The real name of the mecha is Human-Snake Mecha, which is the opposite of how Li Yi called it. He is a senior mecha master, 35 years old, and a rare genius in the Teng Snake ship with considerable strength.

The driver of the evil ghost mecha is Lin Xiu from the Shura ship, also a senior mecha master. He is 36 years old, not old, and his name happens to be the same as what Li Yi called him secretly.

These three people are also the people that Li Yi focuses on.

If any of these three people did not make it into the top ten, he would plan to choose that person as his team member.

After all, his base already consists of people from three ships, which is already strong enough, and he should pick one or two more strong players.

As for the top ten in the second round, he is naturally determined to get it.

…

now.

120 powerful divine mechas have been ranked according to their strength in a round and are each stationed in an area.

The distance between each deity is no more than 30 meters.

Looking down from the top of the Big Peak, the densely packed crowd looks like a group of tall ants waiting for orders. The visual effect is quite shocking.

According to the rules, the strong ones must disperse to avoid a fight between kings, which would cause a major battle at the beginning and directly affect the surrounding divine mechas.

Under the pitch-black peak, the thrusters behind countless divine mechas had already been brewing, compressing, and flashing, waiting for the order to start.

Along the road above the Big Peak, there are enough concealed battlefield cameras set up.

After waiting for all the divine mechas to be in place, thirty flying AIs flew to various locations and began to broadcast: "Second round of speed race, countdown 5, 4... 1, start!"

Boom!!! Countless flames suddenly burst out! In an instant, one divine mecha after another leaped up under the impetus of various colored flames, like a continuous stream of rocket launchers on the battlefield, suddenly flying straight up.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!! Among the countless divine mechas, the pure white Yue Yin mecha vibrated its armored wings, and a clear white light flashed across the wing tips. It suddenly exploded in the night sky and was the first to break away from the group of mechas, like an arrow, instantly opening up a huge distance from the group below.

Immediately afterwards, the mecha that Li Yi was paying attention to, the human-snake mecha, was also wrapped in balls of exploding flames, separated from the group, and formed a single upward arrow. Its speed was second only to the Yue Yin mecha.

Secondly, the B-class divine mechas that Li Yi had never seen in other divisions also gradually left the group below.

In the blink of an eye, 14 B-class divine mechas formed the first group in the front.

In the rear, some divine mechas also began to consume their divinity and spit out divine energy cannons from their mouths to interfere with the fourteen divine mechas in front.

As the first divine energy cannon was fired, the others who were already weak and had no hope of competing for the top ten also began to madly burst out divine energy cannons, shooting upwards.

Suddenly, under the huge peak in the almost eternal night, beams of light of various colors flashed and shot upwards.

The racing brawl has begun.

…

Li Yi, who was in the second group, also received cordial greetings from his opponents.

However, the second group is relatively mild.

Because the distance between the first group and the second group is getting farther and farther.

Except for a few B-level ones who were greatly disturbed by the divine energy cannon, the others all cast divine shields. Although it consumes divinity, it is indeed safe in the short term.

After observing for a moment, Li Yi decided to follow the Yueyin Mecha, which was currently the fastest, and prepare to burst out suddenly and catch up when the next round of concentrated fire comes.

Normally, in a race between divine mechas of the same level, it would be difficult to catch up with the opponent who started first unless the speed was exceptionally fast.

But in this situation, at an altitude of 70,000 meters, he had to maintain the divine shield all the way and keep moving at full speed, which must have consumed a lot.

Therefore, when facing concentrated fire, the speed of the strong men in the first group will inevitably slow down.

And this is exactly the opportunity Li Yi has been waiting for for a long time.

…

Soon, the opportunity came.

Below, the divine mecha, which was already falling behind in speed, simply gave up flying straight up and activated the divine energy cannon again, firing loudly! Boom!!! Countless divine energy cannons suddenly flashed.

Amid the rumbling sound, Li Yi's eyes lit up slightly, and he activated the micro-electric properties without hesitation, stimulating the muscles throughout the body. At the same time, the super-elastic and deformation properties were added to the blood vessels and heart throughout the body. Then he quickly adjusted his breathing and directly launched the 3.0 version of the explosive skill!

In an instant, his load capacity for the divine mecha reached its peak.

With this explosive skill that he displayed for the first time, the divinity of Pluto that he could mobilize reached its limit.

All of a sudden, a huge blue fluorescent ring flashed outside the gravity thruster! In an instant, the Pluto mecha seemed to disappear and flew away at high speed!

The air becomes thinner and thinner, and the sonic boom is deafening!
