Now Chang Le had a better understanding of the toughness, length, and weight of the black gold staff.
Chang Le had learned how to use long weapons, but he wasn't particularly skilled at it. He had only learned the basic moves and routines in class.
I still have it in my hands but I'm a little unsure how to use it.
She suddenly remembered someone: Ren Baitou. Ren Baitou was used to using a pair of pistols, but he also frequently used a long spear; the ends of his two short pistols could be joined together to form a long spear. She often watched Ren Baitou practice spear fighting when she was a child; his marksmanship was excellent.
Chang Le tried to recall those scenes.
She has an excellent memory; otherwise, 422 wouldn't have been able to store so much data for easy access. So even after several years, she can still recall a series of clear images.
"Clang—" With a flick of his wrist, the Great Sage's black gold staff rang out.
Grip the stick with both hands, sweep the end of the stick horizontally, and cut through the air and split the wind.
Chang Le controlled the black gold staff and practiced the basic moves and routines in their entirety, making some progress by the end of the morning.
She planned to continue contacting him in the afternoon, but after she started, Ma Yuanhong came over.
Ma Yuanhong said, "I want to make a deal with you."
I see you practicing staff techniques; I know them, and I can teach you with a long weapon. Then, I'd like to ask you to teach me how to ride the 'Kuafu'.
Chang Le was surprised for a moment, and said frankly, "I do need a teacher who is good at long weapons, and I also believe in Brother Hong's strength. However, I have only just become familiar with 'Kua Fu'. I can drive it myself, but I am not good enough to teach others."
Ma Yuanhong was somewhat disappointed. At this moment, Lu Jin'an walked over and said, "I have a suggestion."
“Ma Yuanhong, I’m used to piloting the ‘Kuafu,’ and I can teach you. In exchange, you teach Lele how to use the long weapon, how about it?”
Ma Yuanhong's eyes brightened slightly: "I have no objection."
Chang Le did not refuse, but looked at Lu Jin'an and said, "It will take up your time and energy."
Lu Jin'an chuckled: "It's your last gamble. If you give it your all, it won't be a waste of time. I look forward to seeing you amaze everyone."
Chang Le solemnly replied, "I won't let your help go to waste."
After the agreement was made, Lu Jin'an accompanied Ma Yuanhong to practice driving in the afternoon, and in the evening, Ma Yuanhong taught Chang Le the stick technique.
The mecha training lasted seven days, with the final day being the assessment. Four days of training passed in the blink of an eye.
With only two days left of training, everyone was practicing with the mechs of their chosen models.
They would occasionally spar and challenge each other, and if they weren't satisfied with fighting in the real battlefield, they would also want to fight in virtual battles.
Fortunately, the entire Xuefeng Mountain area is used as a training base, and the base has a virtual battle room, otherwise it would not be able to meet the needs of mecha training.
After four days, Chang Le, with his exceptional memory and comprehension, had mastered about 80-90% of Ma Yuanhong's long weapon skills and was already proficient in using the Black Gold Cudgel and other weapons.
That evening, Chang Le also had separate sparring sessions with Ma Yuanhong, Qin Xian, and Gu Yujing.
Their record is one win and two losses.
Ma Yuanhong's defeat was not unexpected; his comprehension of mecha piloting was truly poor. No wonder he himself said that apart from the simplest hovercraft, he was not good at many other modes of transportation.
Qin Xian was driving the "Kuafu".
After more than a decade of honing his driving skills, the endurance boost from the "Sun and Moon Shining Brightly" combined with the "Kua Fu's" superior sustained land combat capabilities, he managed to wear down Chang Le's mental strength and win.
Piloting the "Great Sage" consumes more mental energy than other models. Although the "Great Sage" can quickly recharge and recover using natural energy, it requires undisturbed operation. Qin Xian's continuous bombardment prevented Chang Le from recharging, leading to his defeat.
Gu Yujing, like Chang Le, piloted the "Great Sage".
In addition to his driving skills and tactical advantages, Gu Yujing combined his supernatural ability of "Annihilation of All Laws" with the characteristics of the "Great Sage" Black Gold Cudgel to maximize his suppression of metal and its associated energy.
When Chang Le faced him, she felt a sense of powerlessness, as if she were being devoured by herself.
The attack hit him, but disappeared before it could even inflict half the damage.
Chang Le stroked the "Great Sage" that had been with him, his heart heavy.
Based on the available information, Ryan's mecha combat skills and experience are superior to Gu Yujing's. Gu Yujing himself admitted that without his special abilities, he couldn't defeat Ryan, and even with them, it would be a 50/50 match.
Ryan's mech piloting and control have reached an unparalleled level.
Chang Le's idea of closing the gap of several years in just a few days is indeed wishful thinking.
But you have to keep trying. Chang Le won't give up, but he needs to find a way to have his own trump card in order to win by surprise.
After the battle, Qin Xian told her, "Actually, your basic operations are already very proficient, and your use of various weapons and the black metal staff is also perfect. As far as the mecha itself is concerned, you have no problem controlling it."
"However, you have a problem. 'Great Sage' is just an ordinary mecha in your hands right now. You control it no differently than you control any other mecha. It has no sentience."
I don't know if you'll understand what I'm trying to say; you'll have to figure it out for yourself. That's all I can tell you.
Gu Yujing also offered his opinion:
"You can replay the video from earlier and observe the mecha piloting by me, Qin Xian, Ryan, Feng Mingye, Wei Jinyan, and Ningning. We have developed a piloting method that only we can do."
If you want to achieve another breakthrough, you need your own 'Great Sage'.
At night, Chang Le sat on a rock, with "Da Sheng," who had been with her for the past few days, standing beside her to shield her from the howling wind and snow.
Chang Le watched the video on the screen while pondering Qin Xian and Gu Yujing's words.
"What do I have that belongs to me...?" Chang Le looked at "Great Sage," "What do I have that resonates with you?"
