A blazing firestorm soared to the sky as a cloud of dust pervaded the arena.
Suddenly, the pilot of Thunderburst discovered that his screen had gone black. Immediately afterward, there were crackling sounds of electric sparks coming from electronic equipment all around him before a plume of smoke rose from the display and the interface.
Short-circuited?
The Thunderburst pilot couldn't believe it. Nonetheless, he could feel the body tilting backward bit by bit.
"Stand firm! Stand firm!"
The moment the cockpit was flooded with smoke, the European recruit screamed hysterically and tried every possible mean to make the Thunderburst stand firm.
He clearly knew that the Thunderburst had been blown up by someone, but it was still unable to accept it.
How can that huge Red Lotus Phantom break through that dense net of firepower when even a mosquito can't? How can the Thunderburst whose defense is sturdier than Galaxy Steel Spirit be destroyed in an instant?
As the Thunderburst pilot was struggling to accept this fact, the other European recruit pilots were still oblivious to the fact that the strongest of the six mobile armor had already fallen on the ground.
Only the distant Guss, the Galaxy Steel Spirit pilot whose mobile armor had been destroyed by Qin Fen, was staring blankly at this unbelievable scene.
The Phantom Red Lotus had just become a real shadow, breaking through that criss-cross net of firepower thin enough where even a mosquito couldn't fly through, and all that under a frontal assault.
Under a series of high-speed maneuvers, it could actually fire a series of Red Lotus Burst Round, with sticky explosives that were quite similar to chewing gum.
Even under the high-speed movements, his accuracy didn't falter at all. All of the rounds hit exactly where the head section of the Thunderburst was connected to the body.
"Be..."
Before the word "careful" could even exit Guss's mouth, Qin Fen's Red Lotus Phantom, grabbing the arm of Thunderburst, used the exposed missiles on its arm to blast a Night King to the ground.
"... careful..."
Meanwhile, the Red Lotus Phantom's arms, having already grabbed the head of another Red Lotus Phantom, suddenly turned around! The Red Lotus Phantom belonging to the European Military Region had its head twisted off brutally.
Guss, who wanted to warn his comrades, opened his mouth wide but his vocal cords could not make any more sounds.
The battle is progressing too quickly. In the time it took me to utter two words, three of the strongest mobile armor on our side had already been scrapped by a single mobile armor from the opponent side.
Generally, even in the battle net, it's impossible to lose so fast and so miserably in a fight with a top-ranked mobile armor soldier under a one-on-one situation.
The team that was highly expected by the European Military Region and highly praised by seniors of the Crusade as the most hopeful team to win the championship was actually...
Before this young East Asian recruit, we are actually as vulnerable as a baby.
As the first defeated mobile armor crashed on the ground on its back, the bodies of fourth and fifth mobile armor had already started tilting. Only a Jungle Ranger had not yet been destroyed.
It was at this moment when the Jungle Ranger pilot finally noticed that all his companions had been scrapped already. His surprise was far greater than the surprise of the recruits watching the battle from afar.
Driver furnace overclocking at...
BOOM...
The Red Lotus Phantom didn't use any attacking means. It simply used its body in a prone position, pushing the Jungle Ranger to the ground.
Unlike the general prone position, when the Red Lotus laid down, its elbow struck right at the Jungle Ranger's key location. Immediately after, the Jungle Ranger's cockpit was flooded with billowing smoke.
All annihilated!
In just a second, everyone was taken out! A Red Lotus Phantom had scrapped six different models of mobile armors like it was cutting melons and vegetables!
Furthermore, the recruit pilot of Red Lotus Phantom had piloted the Jungle Ranger not too long ago.
It must be known that a mobile armor pilot could not just operate any mobile armor at will. He or she had his own specialized branch.
Obviously, the Jungle Ranger pilot's operating level was ace among ace.
So, why? Why can he also pilot the Red Lotus Phantom with the same operating level? Does he happen to minor in two different models of mobile armor?'
A tongue-tied Guss kept gawking at the six plumes of smoke billowing out of the mobile armors. No! There was a seventh plume of smoke rising out of another mobile armor! It was that East Asia's Red Lotus Phantom. To everyone's surprise, it also began to emit a thick plume of smoke. Meanwhile, its pilot had already crawled out of its cockpit.
The Thunderburst pilot, violently coughing, wormed his way out of its cockpit and asked Qin Fen with a smile on his face, "How... how much did you overclocked your drive furnace just now?"
"Initially, it was four hundred and seventy-seven percent, the highest was five hundred and twelve percent."
Qin Fen strode down the Red Lotus Phantom and casually blurted out the result which, in his opinion, wasn't satisfactory. In his best condition, he could overclock it to five hundred and forty-six percent.
"Four hundred and seventy-seven percent!?" The pilot of the Red Lotus Phantom, who had still not gotten down from the cockpit suspected that there was something wrong with his ear. To his dismay, someone could break the official data by so much!?
The official data had always been a conservative estimate. Nonetheless, those could break this conservative estimate were ace among aces and veterans among veterans, without any exception.
It was for this very reason that everyone assumed that Qin Fen could not reach the limits of official data. However, none had expected this recruit to exceed the limit of official data, and more importantly, surpass it by so much.
"FIve hundred and twelve percent!?" The corner of Guss's eyes twitched. Looking at the black smoke rising from Qin Fen's Red Lotus Phantom, he skeptically asked, "You just fell down, you wouldn't happen to..."
"That's right, I calculated it in advance. At the moment the drive furnace was scrapped but had yet to explode, I used its super-freezing system to simulate its explosion and at the same time, used its weight to smash the Jungle Ranger."
Qin Fen boldly jumped into the center of the field and said, pointing at the European recruits, "Now, our mobiles armors are scrapped. What should you have done if we as enemies had encountered the same situation in a battlefield?"
The five European recruits were taken aback for a moment. At the same time, a fiery hot battle intent was ignited in their eyes.
That's right! If they had encountered the same situation in a battlefield, the pilots from both sides would not have minced any words with each other, nor would they have turned around and walked away after saying hello. But rather, they would have turned back to being martial artists and started killing each other!
As the five European recruits turned their glance to the Jungle Ranger pilot who had been overwhelmed by the Red Phantom Lotus and was temporarily unable to escape, they felt somewhat sorry for their comrade-in-arms.
As one of the six mobile armor pilots who had been taken out by a single man, they were truly seething from anger. If they had an opportunity to take revenge, they would absolutely not miss it.
The best opportunity was now!
'With everyone lacking mobile armor, it has now come down to hand-to-hand combat in a five against one, which is an absolute advantage!'
As the five European Recruits moved, Qin Fen stamped his feet on the ground at once, infusing the strength of two elephants using the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art into his legs. Immediately after, he turned into a cannonball as he arrived before his opponents.
Qin Fen was extremely fast. Just as the fluttering of Qin Fen's clothes entered the European recruits' ears, the air before one of them felt like it was pressing against him like a wall.
Arhat Fist, Twisting Single Mountain Thrust!
The very attack which was once used to hit a reinforced concrete wall in the handgun shooting tournament was now fiercely crashing into the arms of a European recruit.
Arhat Fist, Advancing the Seven Stars! Shifting Step to Cleaving Chip! Tiger Lunge! Tornado Kick!
Just as the first European recruit was sent flying, before the sound of his bones breaking could even travel into the ears of the spectators, the other European recruits were also sent flying.
Bam... bam... crack... crack... crack...
For a moment, the sounds of heavy objects falling on the ground, of clothes sliding against the ground, and the sounds of bones breaking intertwined with each other, playing a wonderful battle symphony.
An abysmal wind blew through the field.
Dust drifted off the ground.
The battlefield which just had an intense battle raged on it looked so desolate now.
Only the painful moans of several European recruits who were lying flat on the ground could be heard.
Six-star martial artists!
Guss looked at Qin Fen in dismay. Where did this monster spring up from? That's right! He must be a monster! Dual-wielding in the handgun shooting tournament! And he can also pilot multiple models of mobile armor in the mobile armor battle, and more importantly, winning in a feat of six against one.
And now, in the twinkling of an eye, he has turned into a martial artist who specialized in martial dao.
That's right! If he didn't specialize in martial dao, it would be impossible for him to be a six-star martial artist at such a young age!
Guss' throat subconsciously moved up and down as he gulped nervously.
Never had such an all-rounder appeared in the history of the recruit tournament!
Guss slowly raised his head, looking at the sky and asked, spellbound, "God, is he a versatile recruit?"
The expressions of the East Asian recruits weren't any better than Guss's.
On the contrary, because their number was relatively larger, their expressions were brilliant when beside one another. Each and every one of their eyes were completely fixed at the returning Qin Fen.
"That Jungle Ranger only has its left hand damaged." Qin Fen said in a very calm and poised manner."It can still continue to fight. Let's drive it to tomorrow's tournament. I remember, your opponent tomorrow is also the European Military Region. Their mobile armors had all been destroyed by me. Furthermore, almost all of their pilots have been sent to the hospital. For a short while, they have completely lost their combat power. Although you only have a disabled Jungle Ranger remaining, you can still win tomorrow. As long as you can drive it to the tournament, you have already won."
Qin Fen's voice wasn't low at all, and Guss's ears were still quite sensitive. As such, all these words had been heard by him.
Only at this point did Guss truly come to realize: perhaps, the smoke rising from the Red Lotus Phantom just now was also purposely done by Qin Fen.
All that was done in order to entice the pilots of the scrapped mobile armors to agree to hand-to-hand combat! Using this as an excuse, he had severely injured all the opponents and sent them to the hospital.
What a terrifying scheme. What a cruel means!
Looking at the disappearing back of Qin Fen, Guss's hands and feet turned cold. Suddenly, a feeling of being lucky rose in his heart. Fortunately, when I first appeared, I did not directly raise a clamor to fight one against seven, otherwise, there would have been more than five people moaning on the ground.
