Chapter 1 Tita vs. Chao Qinglong in a Life-or-Death Battle

On another battlefield, the intensity was equally high. Following their defeat, the Camella team sent out another vanguard, Babulo, while the Galaxy team countered with their heavy armor warrior, Daya Mendoza. The Galaxy team was determined to secure a strong position in the top four.

Babulo chose the Thunderbolt fighter, while Daya Mendoza revealed the Fist Emperor Zero.

Fist Emperor Zero.

Configuration: Super-heavy armor, 140 tons.

Nuclear fission quad-engine, titanium gauntlets, double-chain Thunder Dragon cannons, electromagnetic gravity cannon.

The Fist Emperor Zero was an upgraded version of the Fist Emperor 100, with improved engine models. Dual engines were no longer sufficient for giant mechs. It also reduced tonnage, further enhancing its suppression of heavy armor, and introduced electromagnetic cannons to strengthen its dominant position. Compared to the Sea King fighter's emphasis on defense, the Fist Emperor Zero emphasized offense.

There was also an interesting aspect to this. Daya Mendoza was a boxing enthusiast who had won the WWA boxing championship in his spare time. His tough style and superb skills made him the most popular figure at the Galaxy Academy besides Ares.

Amidst the cheers of the audience, Daya Mendoza lived up to the fans' expectations, launching heavy punches at Babulo, fully utilizing the mech's tonnage. The instantaneous burst of power left Babulo's skills with no room to maneuver. To be precise, he was being utterly crushed in terms of skill. Babulo's Liuxin Wu-level (Flowing Heart Martial Arts) fire ability and mental blasts had no effect on Mendoza. This was a major advantage of giant mechs compared to other mechs. When Babulo tried to create distance, he was hit by the electromagnetic gravity cannon and directly pulled in by the gravity, followed by a series of Mendoza's combo punches that turned the Thunderbolt fighter into scrap metal.

Precise prediction, powerful abilities, and complete control over the entire match. His Gold Zone was only used for defense. It was known that Mendoza possessed lightning abilities, and he was clearly conserving his strength.

The Galaxy team also secured a 3-0 victory. The entire team's atmosphere was very relaxed, exuding a strong sense of confidence from top to bottom. Camella was now on the verge of elimination, with the final match being Ares Maxis against Tianjixing Leica.

In the fierce battle for the top four, both the North Carolina team and the Galaxy team displayed their kingly demeanor. Now, everything depended on the decisive battle.

Inside the Tianxing Mech Warrior's operations room, there was silence. Alz also held his head in frustration. Before the competition, they didn't think they had an advantage, but they still hoped for a chance to enter the team battle. However, they were utterly crushed right from the start. Tita patted Alz hard on the shoulder and smiled slightly, "What's with the gloom? It's not over yet. Let me go and meet Chao Qinglong!"

Tita stepped onto the stage with pride. She was going to go all out, even if her opponent was Chao Qinglong.

On the guest platform, Arths also waved his hands, cheering for Tita. The Moon natives at the scene also cheered under Arths's influence. North Carolina was always an important opponent on the Moon's path to victory, and this time was no different. They hoped their encouragement could bring Tita extra luck. Tianxing Academy was now being called the Lucky Star Academy. Maybe there would be a miracle!

"Is this North Carolina? They don't have a single flaw. They're as steady as can be." Ma Long's scalp was tingling. They not only won, but they won with plenty to spare. They could calmly deal with any sudden moves from their opponents and find the best solution. He even wondered if he was dreaming. He was actually in the top eight. He quickly took a picture and posted it on his WeChat Moments. Damn, he was so awesome.

Sheng Man, who was beside him, also felt her boyfriend's rollercoaster-like emotional changes, but...it didn't seem bad. At least he was optimistic.

"North Carolina has the strength to win the championship. They're really strong. Now Tita can only go all out." Zhou Naiyi perked up. Tita's full display of power also had great learning significance for her. She also wanted to know what exactly Li Hao exchanged with Tita. Tita wasn't Offee; she wouldn't help for free. The Moon natives valued transactions. If she learned the other party's abilities, then the things she asked for would definitely be substantial.

Zhou Naiyi looked at Li Hao, who was sending a message. Zhou Naiyi couldn't help but tease, "A moment apart feels like three autumns?"

"Huh?" Li Hao was stunned and waved his hand. "No, I'm chatting with a friend about something."

This made Zhou Naiyi feel embarrassed. "Ahem, I was just saying. Everyone is still counting on you to analyze it after the competition. This kind of battle is very helpful to us."

"Okay." Li Hao closed the Skylink. He was communicating with Kevin about the situation on Kepler. The news from Base Five hadn't reached the solar system, and probably wouldn't be transmitted. The base was severely damaged. The ground facilities were basically gone, but the people in the underground laboratory had survived, and some important research data was preserved, which was the best possible outcome.

The Alliance high-level officials had also paid enough attention to this. This was also why Wu Fa, Lagrange, and Anlize had already left the Moon and rushed back to the Alliance headquarters. At the same time, the remaining four bases had entered a state of martial law.

The survivors described the situation of the monsters in detail, and the Alliance would re-examine the degree of danger of Kepler's development.

"They're all so powerful," Musashi said. "The other side is also fighting fiercely. It feels like the Galaxy side might be slightly more powerful."

He could deeply feel the powerful foundation of these academies. Their achievements today were not made overnight. It was really the result of countless people's efforts that made such a strong and stable team.

Cheng Konghai smiled. "Actually, it's alright. We're even fiercer!"

"Ah Hai, you still need to be cautious. At this stage, there are no weaklings," Zhou Naiyi said.

Chao Qinglong and Tita's battlefield was the Kepler jungle.

Tita chose her signature Shadow Athena, while Chao Qinglong chose the Night Saber.

"Jiutoulong is a bit arrogant. He didn't choose his signature Dragon King Creed, but used the Night Saber, which is especially popular recently," Huo Nan said with a smile. "With a significant overall strength advantage, Jiutoulong is starting to show off."

"Chao Qinglong is good at many mobile suits. When facing Shadow, Night Saber is a good choice, not just the Dragon King fighter," Kuang Wu Daren said. "Now, for North Carolina, it's extremely important to win this match steadily."

This year, North Carolina's luck has finally improved. They won't have too much consumption before entering the top four, and they have enough trump cards to stay healthy and break through from the top four. The championship is just around the corner.

Tita's eyes narrowed slightly. Actually, she wanted to fight the Dragon King Creed. The flexibility of the Dragon King fighter was a bit worse than the Night Saber, which was more suitable for Shadow to play. Of course, it would be even better if Chao Qinglong was willing to look down on her.

Two mobile suits airdropped into the Kepler jungle. Tita's heart was also surging. At this time last year, she was extremely frustrated. When the team was in a desperate situation, she herself lost her morale and was directly defeated. This year, facing the same situation, she would not retreat again.

The Hunter members at the scene were very calm. As the second-in-command of the Hunters, Chao Qinglong was actually good at using any mech, including snipers. In order to understand the specific situation of the mechs, he was familiar with all the mechs in the mech libraries of the four major alliances. In terms of talent, Chao Qinglong was S-level, but he himself didn't care about these.

The Oathkeeper Sword popped out. Tita in the Shadow fighter had completely entered the state. The timidity and helplessness in her heart last year had completely disappeared. Facing a strong enemy, she gradually began to get excited.

Perhaps this change was brought by Li Hao. Since facing Li Hao, she was able to calmly view her shortcomings and face herself in order to face the enemy.

Chao Qinglong's Night fighter also possessed great pressure. Blood Moon was still not unsheathed, but the entire mech was like a sharp sword, full of murderous intent. Facing this kind of pressure, the Oathkeeper Sword was waved, and a red light enveloped the Shadow fighter. The next moment, the engine roared, Tita rushed towards the Night fighter, and the Oathkeeper Sword struck towards the Night fighter with the power of lightning.

Clang clang clang clang.

A series of explosions sounded. The Night fighter's defense was as stable as Mount Tai. The scabbard was constantly waved, completely keeping up with the speed of the Shadow fighter.

When watching as a spectator, you always feel that the other party is just like that, and the technical movements are nothing more than that, but only when you really fight do you realize that it is completely different. Chao Qinglong's defense was full of strong confrontation, constantly keeping up with the speed, and the accuracy and strength were just right, completely covering his technical movements.

Tita had fought Li Hao many times. She knew that Li Hao was strong, but she didn't know where he was strong. Anyway, she lost inexplicably, but she could clearly feel Chao Qinglong's strength. The other party was controlling her from all aspects, including technology, strength, speed, Gold Zone, and even mentality.

After a series of blocks, the Night fighter suddenly swept across, and the right arm swung out directly. At this moment of counterattack, the Shadow fighter retreated and the arm shield was pushed out, and it was directly swept away for more than 20 meters. Of course, Tita had completely unloaded the force.

Chao Qinglong looked at Tita, "Let me see what you learned from Second Brother."

No matter which war zone it was, everyone knew that Chao Qinglong had a lonely personality, or it could be said that he was arrogant and conceited. That kind of arrogance was innate.

"That depends on whether you have the ability!" In terms of arguing, Tita would not be convinced. She could feel Chao Qinglong's contempt, as if Li Hao didn't teach her a few tricks and she wouldn't be worthy of fighting him.

Chao Qinglong's pupils shrank, and the Night fighter roared and moved, stepping, stepping, stepping, stepping.

The tyrannical movement was full of oppressive force. The Shadow fighter also accelerated and rushed up. With a lightning strike, the Shadow fighter gave Athena a lightning thrust with a red light Oathkeeper Sword. Chao Qinglong was not used to this problem. Blood Moon was unsheathed and went straight to the middle, and a single slash was slashed out. The Oathkeeper Sword might cause some damage to the Night fighter, but Blood Moon could take away Shadow with one slash.

When the Shadow fighter was swept out, the Shadow fighter lightly bounced up. After landing, a quick assassination from the lower road was once again accurately blocked by the Night fighter. He turned over and pressed down with a heavy leg. The Shadow fighter's engine roared and came to a Gliding Shadow assassination around the Night fighter close to the ground.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh.

A series of sounds of breaking through the air, the Night fighter was constantly flickering, and managed to let all the attacks fall into the air. Blood Moon slashed out again, the Shadow fighter shook and pulled away, and with a bang, the Night fighter disappeared. The next moment, he appeared in front of Shadow and punched out.

Boom.

Shadow defended and was directly smashed out. Before he could get rid of it, the Night fighter was already approaching, and a low-altitude flying kick directly smashed Shadow out again. Chao Qinglong didn't chase after him again. He wanted to know what Tita could bring. No matter how he looked at it, this woman didn't look like an experience pack. She was a bit useless.

The Shadow fighter finally managed to control the mech. Tita was a little dizzy from being beaten. She was overwhelmed, too overwhelmed!

"The agility of player Tita is very strong, but she is facing Jiutoulong, the top player in the mech world. Her technical characteristics have been completely seen through. The chance is not great. North Carolina is only one step away from entering the top four for three consecutive years." Kuang Wu Daren's words were still relatively conservative.

"Kuang Wu, you're being modest. This is a beatdown. Tita's attack is like scraping. There are not so many tactics in mech duels. It's just a competition of personal strength. Compared to last year's arrogance, Chao Qinglong is more calm and patient this year. He is indeed a strong contender for this year's championship."

Tita gritted her teeth, and the Gold Zone exploded, entering Liuxin Wu. This feeling was too uncomfortable, just like when she played against some weak opponents in training matches. She had a clear understanding of the opponent's technical movements and thoughts, and the strength and mental power were a level behind. She was being properly educated, but in the past, she was the one standing on top, but now she had become a small target to be experimented on.
