Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 529 - 408: You Underestimate Me Too Much
In the vast starry sky, stars hung suspended, meteorites drifted, behemoths roared, and mechas stood tall.
However, through Flame Dragon University’s official live stream, the audience could clearly see that a circle of green poisonous fog enveloped the outer periphery of this majestic star field. This green poisonous fog began to shrink. If touched, the mechas piloted by competitors would be in great danger and could even face instant elimination.
The competition had begun.
Mechas of various sizes and colors began to roam this expanse of starry sky.
Hong Yuan quickly locked onto the area where Ji Yunjin was located through the contestants’ individual camera feeds.
At this moment, Ji Yunjin was piloting the Forest Elf in the southeastern region. This region lacked the presence of a strong seeded competitor like Mu Shang, which was neither good nor bad.
Very soon, Ji Yunjin found a huge green star and prepared to land inside it. She planned to use it to conceal her movements, intending to lie low for as long as possible and avoid combat. Her ideal scenario was to stay hidden until the final circle and secure one of the three qualifying spots!
Hong Yuan didn’t comment on Ji Yunjin’s plan. He could enslave Ji Yunjin’s will, making her utterly subservient, dedicating herself and everything she had to him—her wealth, her health, even her life! However, Hong Yuan found it difficult to alter some of Ji Yunjin’s fundamental thought processes. Doing so would be too time-consuming, so he didn’t force any changes.
"Phew, Jiuning, that’s great! Mu Shang has been assigned to the northern region, so Yunjin probably won’t feel as much pressure!" Jiang Yuyue’s eyes crinkled in a sweet smile as she said happily to Hong Yuan.
Hong Yuan smiled and nodded gently. "Heh, indeed no pressure..."
To be honest, Hong Yuan knew exactly how powerful the Forest Elf was. Even slaughtering every mecha warrior and Star Beast in the entire Star Field Battlefield would be no difficult task for it.
It was just that Ji Yunjin herself wasn’t very confident in her mecha piloting skills.
...
Some were happy, some were worried, just as Hong Yuan was taking it easy. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
「On another side.」
Unlike the relaxed joy of Hong Yuan’s small team, the mecha designers whose partners were assigned to the northern region, with the exception of Luo Kexin, almost all wore unpleasant expressions, their faces as dark as a stormy sea. After all, being assigned to the same region as Mu Shang was hardly ideal. That region was home to the infamous "Mech War Demon King"!
If they were confident in their partners’ strength, it wouldn’t have mattered. But they knew their own situations all too well.
How could a mere duo of ordinary university students possibly stand against a national-level mecha combat genius partnered with a mecha designer being groomed by a major conglomerate?
Anyone could see the vast disparity; the difference between their teams was like dust on the earth compared to the stars in the sky—there was simply no comparison!
But now, there was nothing they could do. These unlucky mecha designers could only hope their partners could evade Mu Shang’s pursuit, pilot their mechas to other regions, and somehow become one of the three survivors of this competition.
"Sigh, it’s hopeless. Mu Shang could be participating in the unrestricted mecha battles of the Spirit Path Trials, but instead, he has to squeeze into this tiny ’pond’ at Flame Dragon University with us..."
"Exactly! How can a mere pond nurture a Flood Dragon? We’re really speechless when it comes to Mu Shang and Luo Kexin."
"And the most terrifying part is that the mecha Mu Shang pilots is an enhanced version of the ’Steel Emperor Penguin’—it’s incredibly powerful!"
"Being rich and powerful really is something else, huh..."
In the waiting room’s meeting hall, the gazes of many mecha designers converged, eventually all turning discreetly towards the girl in the white dress holding her head high—Luo Kexin!
At this moment, Luo Kexin was multitasking, focusing on both Mu Shang and Ji Yunjin simultaneously.
She had to admit, the Forest Elf piloted by Ji Yunjin had completely captivated her aesthetic sensibilities.
And the Forest Elf’s flight system was also very much to her liking.
After all, what girl could resist attaching those splendid, beautiful wings to the back of her own beloved mecha?
Amazing, truly amazing! Did Han Jiuming really design this? It’s unbelievable. Luo Kexin’s eyes sparkled, her hands never ceasing their movements.
She decided that regardless of this competition’s outcome, she would have her grandfather hire "Han Jiuming" into their corporation at a high salary, making him one of their reserve talents.
She greatly coveted the Forest Elf’s flight system technology!
Han Jiuming... was actually Hong Yuan. At this moment, Hong Yuan wasn’t paying much attention to the mecha designers’ discussions.
He was observing the northern region, particularly the blue and white humanoid mecha piloted by Mu Shang.
This was a majestic blue and white humanoid mecha named the Steel Dragon Battle Meka. It looked as if forged from clouds and ice, exuding an aura of immense sanctity. It also wielded sharp twin blades, inspiring awe in all who beheld it. However, compared to a standard Steel Emperor Penguin, this one had six additional exhaust pipes on its back. Powerful white airflow blasted from them, granting it tremendous speed.
If Hong Yuan had to describe it using an archetype, it would be: Swift Blade! A super-class warrior, agile in movement and devastating with its blades!
BOOM...
RUMBLE...
RUMBLE...
