Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 532 - 408: You Underestimate Me_4
Suddenly, the live commentary surged once more.
"This is terrible! That beast, which looks like a Red Flying Tiger, is scientifically known as the Crimson Tyrant Star Beast. It controls fire energy and is quite troublesome to deal with."
"I’ve seen this beast in the ’Spirit Path Trials.’ It effortlessly tore apart a professional-grade water-element Mecha. Very frightening indeed."
"That’s right. This species of Star Beast is incredibly fast, and its fangs can easily crush a Mecha’s core."
"Tsk, tsk, how interesting. All the other seeded contestants were defeated by the Steel Dragon Battle Meka under Mu Shang’s control, yet Ji Yunjin hasn’t even seen Mu Shang’s face and is already facing defeat..."
"No, absolutely not! The Forest Elf is so beautiful; it’s not just a pretty Mecha with no practical use!"
"..."
As the Red Flying Tiger Beast lunged towards the Forest Elf, the crowd’s emotions were complex.
There was mockery, laughter, and pity.
In their view, Ji Yunjin, who had hidden at the start of the competition, must be operating with very little power if she was piloting the Forest Elf.
Otherwise, she would be like Mu Shang, commanding her own Mecha and rampaging across the battlefield.
Even if not rampaging, she wouldn’t have resorted to sneaking around, trying to survive until the end of the competition.
Ji Yunjin’s performance was clearly a sign of weakness!
「In the waiting room.」
Jiang Yuyue’s expression was tense, her hands clenched tightly together.
Hong Yuan, however, remained calm, lazily reclining on a soft chair.
Under the gaze of countless eyes, the Forest Elf, targeted by the Red Flying Tiger Beast, began to move.
HUMMM...
HUMMMM...
The unique humming sound of the Forest Elf Mecha reverberated from within it, spreading out into the void.
This hum was deep yet filled with power.
In just an instant, its azure hair, forged from divine steelwood, instantly straightened. Like the Lion’s Mane technique, it expanded and contracted wildly in all directions, the tips of its azure hair razor-sharp.
Its four pairs of purple wing-blades fanned out immediately, brimming with endless icy glints.
The atmosphere suddenly quieted down, like the brief calm before a storm.
But once this moment of calm passed, a tremendous and terrifying change would follow—enough to turn the world upside down!
The Red Flying Tiger Beast, still in its mad sprint, sensed a potent threat. It roared loudly, its body transforming into a fiery arc through the cosmos, charging with even greater speed.
If it managed to collide, the horrifying impact would be enough to instantly destroy many Mechas.
"You underestimate me," Ji Yunjin breathed, her face serene as she activated the Forest Elf’s ’Blade Tornado’ ability.
In an instant, the winds surged, and darkness enveloped the heavens and earth.
A terrifying suction force arose from the ground, creating a massive Blade Tornado.
It turned out Ji Yunjin had fully activated the Forest Elf’s four pairs of purple wing-blades and its azure, arrow-like hair. She then began spinning rapidly on the spot, forming an exceedingly terrifying purple-and-azure tornado.
This tornado, however, possessed a cutting power so ferocious that it instantly tore the dark earth below to shreds and pulverized mountains and giant trees into rubble.
It was truly a force that could slay gods and mortals alike!
BOOM! RUMBLE! RUMBLE!
The Forest Elf, now transformed into the ’Blade Tornado,’ didn’t hesitate to clash with the fiery arc created by the Red Flying Tiger Beast.
The collision was as fierce as Mars striking Earth. An endless burst of white light erupted from their point of contact. A majestic white shockwave rolled outwards, obscuring the specific conditions on the battlefield.
Before the audience in Flame Dragon University’s official live broadcast room could even type out their question marks, a cry of extreme anguish vibrated out from the center of the white light—a sound so heartbreaking it would bring tears to anyone who heard it.
The white light slowly dissipated, and the Mecha’s rumbling gradually faded.
From the hazy sky, flesh and blood rained down, scattering like beautiful, luminous specks.
And there, suspended silently in the air, the Forest Elf appeared so elegant, so dazzling!
"Dead!?"
"That renowned and formidable Red Flying Tiger Beast... just died like that..."
"HISS..."
"I told you! I told you seeded contestants weren’t that simple, and you all didn’t believe me, heh."
"Impressive, using offense as defense. This defensive maneuver alone is enough to show the Forest Elf’s extraordinary power."
"Heh, don’t get too happy so soon. The Forest Elf only had an advantage because the Red Flying Tiger Beast was a close-combat type. Against other Mechas, it wouldn’t be so simple!"
"..."
Everyone was shocked, especially those who had been eager to see Hong Yuan and Ji Yunjin make fools of themselves.
Even if some still believed the Forest Elf was inferior to the Steel Dragon Battle Meka, they had to admit it was far superior to the other Mechas on the field.
DING-DONG—
Hong Yuan’s school inbox chimed. Someone had sent him an email: an offer letter for a junior Mecha designer position at the Penguin Group.
Hong Yuan glanced at it and then dismissed it from his mind.
He glanced again at the large screen of the live broadcast, especially at the comparison between the Steel Dragon Battle Meka and the Forest Elf. A cold smirk touched his lips. Steel Dragon Battle Meka? Heh.
The Steel Dragon Battle Meka was not only meticulously refined from the Steel Emperor Penguin model but also enhanced with many valuable mechanical components, making it very powerful.
Powerful it might be, but compared to the Forest Elf, which had evolved from the Azure Vase Holy Artifact, it was simply inviting humiliation.
Besides, what was Luo Kexin’s level compared to Hong Yuan’s?
Mecha design fell within the scope of the Refining Tao. With even a slight effort, Hong Yuan, a Grandmaster of the Refining Tao, had already discerned the limits of this ’Meta-Universe Mecha+’ competition!
