It wasn''t too bad. At the very least, it wasn''t horrendously weak.


    While he was gauging the properties of his soul cannon, he also activated his propeller.


    The propeller was behind the mecha, and it could help the mecha in flight, eleration, and things like that.


    Generally speaking, meleebat mechas were always slightly faster than long-range attacking mechas. The opposing mecha may have been bulkier, but in reality, meleebat mechas were actually lighter in weight as they didn''t have to carry massive soul batteries in order to support long-range offensive output as long-range attacking mechas did.


    As soon as Tang Wulin activated his propeller, his opponent also activated their propeller. If he''d been slower by even a split second, then the meleebat mecha would''ve rammed directly into him.


    The two figures virtually brushed right past one another before opening up some distance again. On this asion, both mechas had already flown up into the air.


    The meleebat mecha had reacted extremely quickly; in the instant that it failed to crash into Tang Wulin, the mecha''s ymore was immediately hurled through the air.


    The ymore flew forth as a streak of ck light, immediately catching up to Tang Wulin, who was just beginning to slow down following that burst of propulsion force. The meleebat mecha''s timing and uracy in its attacks were both exemry.


    What a powerful opponent this was!


    Tang Wulin was quite surprised, but that didn''t slow down his reactions in the slightest. ording to the rules of mecha battles, if one''s mecha were to be destroyed, they''d be handed a loss even if the pilot could still battle.


    All of a sudden, Tang Wulin''s long-range attacking mecha bent down andpleted a very strange maneuver. Its entire body twisted around in mid-air, and it gently raised the stock of its soul cannon upward to parry the ymore away.


    At this point, the meleebat mecha had already begun its second eleration, and was flying directly toward Tang Wulin.


    "Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!" Six balls of light shot forth almostpletely in unison.


    Tang Wulin had unleashed those attacks with his soul cannon despite the fact that his mecha had lost its bnce in mid-air.


    The six cannon sts were like plum flower petals that were very beautiful to behold, and they directly cut off the meleebat mecha.


    He hadn''t immediately unleashed these cannon sts right after he parried the ymore away. Instead, heunched these attacks during his opponent''s second eleration. After gaining speed through propulsion, it became a lot more difficult for meleebat mechas to change directions. If the mecha pilot were to forcibly change directions, not only would the mecha itselfe under intense strain, the mecha pilot would also be dealt an extremely heavy blow. Only mecha pilots with extremely advanced handling skills and a powerful enough mecha at their disposal would choose to change directions during a high-speed charge.


    The meleebat mecha that Tang Wulin was facing didn''t choose that course of action. Instead, it chose to take his attack head-on.


    It was impossible for just a few sts from a long-range soul cannon to break the protective barrier of a meleebat mecha. While flying toward the oing attacks, the mecha twisted around slightly to evade four of the six cannon sts, only allowing the remaining two to strike its defensive barrier.


    Following two resounding booms, the mecha faltered momentarily in mid-air. Tang Wulin took advantage of this opportunity to open up some more distance between them.


    After having its attack thwarted, the meleebat mecha didn''t rush forward to attack again. Instead, it swooped downward to try and pick up its sword from the ground.


    A meleebat mecha without a weapon was at a disadvantage against a long-range attacking mecha of the same caliber. The timing and uracy in Tang Wulin''s six cannon sts had alerted the meleebat mecha pilot to the fact that he was not facing an easy opponent.


    "Boom!" A cannon st shot forth with unerring uracy, targeting the sword on the ground as opposed to the meleebat mecha.


    The cannon st struck the hilt of the ymore, and the explosive force sent it flying up into the air. Three more cannon sts were thenunched toward the meleebat mecha in a triangr formation to cut it off from the ymore.


    The meleebat mecha pilot harrumphed coldly, and the mecha suddenly swooped downward to evade the three cannon sts, but at this point, the ymore was already several dozens of meters in the air above it.


    Tang Wulin''s mecha elerated in mid-air, and he sped toward the ymore before grabbing onto the hilt with the mecha''s left hand.


    It had to be said that the meleebat mecha pilot was extremely experienced; as soon as Tang Wulin rushed forward to grab the ymore, the meleebat mecha rose up into the air and activated its propeller without any hesitation, and it wasn''t holding back in the slightest on this asion. Its target was none other than that ymore; even if it had to cop a few more cannon sts, it had to recover its weapon. Meanwhile, Tang Wulin was rushing toward the same direction, so the distance between them was dwindling, and that was clearly beneficial to the meleebat mecha.


    Both of them had activated their propellers, but Tang Wulin had taken the initiative, and he''d already arrived in front of the ymore.


    Right at this moment, bright light suddenly erupted from the meleebat mecha, and countless ice spikes materialized in mid-air before converging toward Tang Wulin.


    A faint smile appeared on Tang Wulin''s face. He had been waiting for this moment.


    The vast majority of skilled mecha pilots were Soul Masters, and all Soul Masters had soul skills. A Soul Master who had chosen a meleebat mecha naturally had to possess abilities that were synergistic with their chosen mecha. This meleebat mecha pilot had finally been goaded into unleashing a soul skill. Generally speaking, during battles between mecha pilots, the first person to unleash a soul skill would be conceding a disadvantage as they''d be revealing their martial soul to their opponent first.


    The ice spikes materialized before converging toward Tang Wulin from all sides.


    However, Tang Wulin continued to charge along his original trajectory, and he didn''t release his martial soul, either. Instead, he reached out and grabbed onto the ymore with his left hand, then swung it through the air to unleash a series of sword projections.


    The sword projections were each around three feet in length, and they weren''t overly powerful, but each and every one of them struck an ice spike with unerring uracy. A vast expanse of icy mist exploded in mid-air, and at the same time, a string of loud booms rang out as 10 cannon sts flew out of the icy mist, hurtling directly toward the oing meleebat mecha.


    With the icy mist acting as a smokescreen, the meleebat mecha pilot hadpletely failed to see how Tang Wulin had unleashed that attack. The mecha pilot had attacked Tang Wulin with those ice spikes in order to dy him so the distance between them could be closed down even further.


    However, much to his surprise, after Tang Wulin grabbed onto the ymore, he made no effort to open up further distance between them. Instead, he used the ymore to shatter all of the ice spikes while unleashing those 10 cannon sts in rapid session at point-nk range.


    The meleebat mecha crashed headfirst into the string of attack, and the 10 cannon sts exploded one after another, forcing the mecha back down onto the ground. As a result, over 80% of the energy within the meleebat mecha''s protective barrier had been expended.


    Only then did Tang Wulin turn around and flee into the distance. He was opening up some distance again, and also allowing his soul cannon the cooldown time it required.


    The meleebat mechanded on the ground, and its pilot was feeling extremely frustrated. This was the same feeling that all melee mecha pilots were struck by when they couldn''t get close to a long-range attacking mecha.


    Furthermore, it was quite apparent from Tang Wulin''s swordsmanship that he was definitely not just a one-trick pony who specialized in long-range attacks. Instead, with that ymore in his hand, he was virtually half a meleebat mecha pilot. The meleebat mecha had lost its weapon, as well as most of the energy of its protective barrier; it was in a decidedly worse positionpared to its opponent.


    In contrast, Tang Wulin was feeling quite ted.


    He had studied mecha handling in the Tang Sect, and he''d specialized in long-range attacking mechas at the time. This was because he was already extremely proficient in close-quartersbat, so if he were to ever get a mecha, then a long-range attacking mecha would naturally be his only choice.


    It was exactly due to the fact that this wasn''t some high-end mecha that he was able to pilot it with such a high level of proficiency.


    Over 100 meters was opened up between the two mechas, and the three-second cooldown period for Tang Wulin''s soul cannon had already passed. Thus, he would be able to unleash another string of 10 continuous cannon sts.


    The long-range attacking mecha courses offered by the Tang Sect were definitely some of the best in the world. Over 20,000 years ago, the founder of the Tang Sect, Tang San, had established a ce for the Tang Sect in the world through his extraordinary hidden weapon hand techniques, as well as the various types of hidden weapons that heter went on to invent.


    As such, if one had the intention of improving their long-range offensive prowess, the Tang Sect was definitely the best ce to learn. Tang Wulin hadn''t had much mecha training, but he was supremely talented in this field.


    As a mecha pilot, his physical constitution definitely ranked among the best of the best; his body was able to handle far heavier impacts than the average mecha pilot. On top of that, he had Spirit Abyss realm spiritual power, and immense spiritual power was also extremely important for piloting mechas.


    Following this period of familiarization, he was really beginning to find his groove.


    "I concede." The opposing mecha suddenly disappeared amid a sh of light. The text above Tang Wulin''s head changed to "two wins, zero losses". The results for the Soul Master battles and mecha battles were stacked on top of one another.


    What? He conceded just like that? This battle''s not over yet!


    Tang Wulin waspletely speechless. How could his opponent have conceded so easily! It cost 2,000 federal credits just to ess thisbat room; at least fight until the very end! He was only just beginning to getting into the zone, and his opponent hadpletely rained on his parade.


    However, regardless of what he thought, he was also teleported out of thebat venue and returned to the za amid a sh of light.


    What a waste of 2,000 federal credits! I have to ask Blood One to see if the Blood God Battalion is going to reimburse me for this.


    After those two battles, Tang Wulin chose to exit the battle.
