The Seventh Base

Chapter 194: Chapter 85: War God, Martial Artist?
 

The military district personnel still did not stop the conflict, reflecting somberly that money was burning.

From their understanding of the frugal commander, the expenses for this special training must have been covered by the academy, and of course, the costs for repairing these damaged Mechas would also be born by Steel Dome Academy itself.

However, this disciple of Old Dean Tantai was truly fierce.

It seemed that only now did they remember that Old Dean Tantai was called the Mechanical King.

Could his disciple’s Mecha skills be subpar?

One person, challenging a whole department.

Dominant!

Commander Qiu wasn’t making a move to recruit?

They all wanted him.

If the military district didn’t intervene, neither would people from other academies, all of them instead watching the spectacle.

All of this was caused by Olivia, a disaster brought by a beautiful woman.

Olivia stood to the side, watching everything unfold, seemingly realizing the trouble she had stirred and making Steel Dome Academy bear it together with her.

But, as for the Mechas, why was Xu Mo’s Mecha so strong?

Absolute suppression.

This time, Steel Dome Academy had brought ten Mechanical Masters, all elite members selected from the Mechanical Department, also the most numerous among the Eight Extraordinary Colleges. In this battle with the Southern Army, only ten Mechanical Masters could participate, mostly handled by their Steel Dome Academy.

But judging from the current situation, Xu Mo’s Mecha was much stronger than theirs.

“Clank…” A Mecha arm was raised, switching weapon modes, a Mechanical Gun aimed at Xu Mo.

The eruption of conflict was just a momentary flash. Now, it was no longer just Olivia’s problem, but a matter of honor for the Mechanical Department of Steel Dome Academy.

Xu Mo, trampling over the Mechas of three Mechanical Masters from Steel Dome Academy.

They had no way out; they could only continue fighting.

“Make way.”

An officer spoke, and immediately the people in the area cleared the space; it was going to be a teardown.

The arrangement of Steel Dome Academy’s Mechas, two Mechas raising their weapons targeting Xu Mo, other Mechas positioned differently, apparently all ready to charge at Xu Mo.

Lin Jue was behind; he did not want a conflict to occur.

But now, he was similarly caught up in it with no way out.

Now it was a battle between the entire Mechanical Department of Steel Dome Academy and Xu Mo, he couldn’t pretend nothing was happening, unable to keep himself apart.

However, joining others in besieging Xu Mo was also something he couldn’t bring himself to do.

Even though he knew Xu Mo was stronger than him.

This was his honor as a Mechanical Master.

“Boom…”

After the crowd backed away, two Mechas fired simultaneously at Xu Mo, the Energy Cannons blasting towards Xu Mo’s Mecha head.

Almost at the same moment, Xu Mo’s Mecha activated, the energy at its maximum, the furious Mecha body charged out, and in a split second completed a movement dodge, avoiding the attack from the Mechanical Cannon.

In a Mecha battle, it’s equally hard to fight many alone, under the same weapon class, with a collective attack from the opponent; given a Mecha’s sluggishness and massive size, it’s difficult to dodge.

But under Xu Mo’s control, it didn’t feel that this Mecha had any sluggishness at all—it moved like a person with agility.

And moreover, its burst of power was even stronger.

“Shoot his body,” someone from Steel Dome Academy said. Shooting at the Mecha head although effective, the target was smaller, and Xu Mo’s Mecha was too agile to hit.

Two Mechas instantly changed targets, shooting toward the massive body of Xu Mo’s Mecha.

Xu Mo’s Mecha erupted with extreme speed, dodging continuously forward while weaving through the barrage, as if it could precisely calculate the trajectory of the firepower attacks.

“What level of operation is this?” The onlooking crowd was dumbfounded.

Was Xu Mo’s Mechanical Talent really that strong?

Even the military personnel were stunned.

They too wanted to recruit him, if only he were their soldier…

As Xu Mo, moving at high speed to dodge, approached the opposition; at that moment, two Mechas from the sides charged him, attacking Xu Mo simultaneously, blocking Xu Mo’s dodging routes, while the other two Mechas continued firing, as if all of Xu Mo’s routes were blocked.

No way out.

The surrounding spectators held their breath, four Mechas surrounding him, all elites, with Mechas from the left and right cutting across, covering a broad range, leaving no room for Xu Mo to dodge.

“Boom…” Just as the Mecha fire and Energy Battle Blade were about to strike, Xu Mo’s Mecha suddenly fell forward.

Dropping forward, sliding.

“Bang.”

Two Mechas were kicked and instantly toppled forward, crashing heavily to the ground.

Xu Mo’s Mecha slid forward, arriving under the other two Mechas.

Those two Mechas immediately adjusted their barrels to target below, but the crowd saw Xu Mo’s Mecha supporting itself with one hand, performing an unbelievable movement; the Mecha leapt up, twisted its body in mid-air, and the hand wielding the Energy Battle Blade made a slashing move.

Clank…

Two Mecha heads were cleaved open.

“Thud.”

Xu Mo’s Mecha landed, its knees bent, with the two Mechas in front of him disabled.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Xu Mo’s Mecha which straightened its bent knees, facing the other Mechas.

But at that moment, the area suddenly fell silent.

Other Mechas from Steel Dome Academy didn’t attack, the Mechanical Masters inside them all stunned by Xu Mo performing that incredible move.

Is this something a Mechanical Master can accomplish?

The person and the Mecha seemed completely integrated.

Master-level manipulation.

They sighed silently in their hearts, all aware of the gap.

The mechas from Noah Academy had laid down their weapons and shut off their power.

As the gifted individuals of the Mechanical Department at Noah Academy, they also had their mecha master’s pride.

This battle was never fair to begin with; it was them, many against one, Xu Mo, and they were all elites.

But having seen Xu Mo’s control skills just now, they knew they were defeated, for in terms of mecha manipulation, they were not on Xu Mo’s level.

Xu Mo looked at those mechas, and he did not continue to attack.

“Let’s go.”

A voice came out, a senior student from the Mechanical Department of Noah Academy spoke, then silently turned around and left.

The other mechas followed, the fallen mechas also got up and followed, not forgetting to give Xu Mo one last look.

Olivia’s gaze also turned to Xu Mo, her expression extremely complex.

She revered strong mecha masters, and now there was one right in front of her, strong enough to suppress everyone from Noah Academy single-handedly, yet he was the person she hated.

Turning around, Olivia left with the people from Noah Academy.

Watching those departing figures, the people from Noah Academy looked towards Xu Mo with a bit of admiration.

Had he subdued the top Mechanical Department of the Eight Extraordinary Colleges?

Who in the Eight Extraordinary Colleges didn’t know that the people from Noah Academy’s Mechanical Department were extremely proud?

Their family backgrounds were outstanding, their talents exceptional, and they always held themselves high above others.

But such a group of people were intimidated by Xu Mo today, voluntarily laying down their weapons.

Strong!

If Old Dean Tantai is dubbed the Mechanical King, his student Xu Mo could now certainly be called the new generation Mechanical King.

The Old Dean has a successor now.

The people from Noah Academy left, and Xu Mo also climbed down from the mecha.

“Brother Xu Mo.”

Sun Xiaoxiao jumped forward, “Wasn’t I amazing?”

She had managed to acquire this mecha.

“Yes.” Xu Mo nodded with a smile, “Xiao Xiao, return the mecha to others.”

“Xu Mo, from this battle with the Southern Military District, the mecha masters should reserve a spot for you, go back to the college, Noah Academy needs you.” A person came forward, Sun Xiaoxiao had borrowed her mecha from him.

“We’ll see.” Xu Mo didn’t know how the teacher had planned, he had asked earlier, and the teacher hadn’t given a straightforward answer.

However, sending him to the Military District this time was probably preparation for this.

Presently, everyone looked down on the Eight Extraordinary Colleges.

They believed the Academy Faction was bound to lose.

“Let’s go, it’s time to eat.”

Manu yelled from the side, Xu Mo and others nodded, heading over there.

The people from the Eight Extraordinary Colleges looked at Xu Mo differently now.

Xu Mo had already been famous before, but few had witnessed his prowess firsthand. They had only seen him defeat Lin Jue in a live broadcast, but at that time, Xu Mo had not been seen outside the mecha.

But today, they had personally experienced Xu Mo’s power.

Violently defeating Nanming Yan, overpowering all challengers from the Eight Extraordinary Colleges single-handedly, one fell after another, none could withstand his edge.

Now, sweeping through the Mechanical Department of Noah Academy as well.

In this generation of the Eight Extraordinary Colleges, Xu Mo was a unique existence, unmatched whether in talent, combat power, or mecha manipulation skills, without anyone even close to his caliber, undeniable.

……

Southern Military District, headquarters.

A group of people gathered around watching a video, no sound other than the video itself.

The video was not very clear but still showcased the dominance of that mecha.

Shen Qianzhong stood at the forefront, and after watching, he closed the video.

He turned around, and suddenly everyone in front of him stood straight as if being inspected.

“How about it?” Shen Qianzhong asked.

“Commander, in single combat, we are inferior, but on the battlefield, we’ll take him down,” one person said resolutely, not allowing for any doubt.

“What if you can’t?” Shen Qianzhong’s gaze swept neutrally over the speaker.

“I will atone with my life.” The person’s voice carried a killing intent, this battle was about the honor of the Southern Military District.

Shen Qianzhong stared at him, coldly saying, “Remember, you are the finest soldiers of the Southern Military District, also the finest soldiers of Steel Dome City, the military has invested a great effort and price in training you, your lives are not just your own, no one is qualified to decide your fate, not even me; once on the battlefield, give it your all to defend your honor, but life, is above all else.”

“Yes, Commander!” Everyone shouted in unison, their bodies unmoving.

“Dismissed.”

Shen Qianzhong announced, and immediately everyone saluted and left.

Watching their departing figures, Shen Qianzhong narrowed his eyes, with a hint of killing intent.

“Tan Taiming!”

Shen Qianzhong murmured in a low voice, calling out a name.

God of War Tantai, Mechanical King?

A mere Martial Artist, bravery of a common man.

This time, if he dare let students onto the battlefield, then let him have no successors.
