<i>Brilliant!</i>
European recruits praised Guss’s Gxy Steel Spirit’s stance in their hearts. The attacking angles were just perfect. Not only did they block all the attacking routes of Jungle Ranger, it alsopletely enveloped the Jungle Rangers in a rainstorm-like attack.
The East Asian recruits became nervous. Although the power of these warheads that were specially crafted to be used in the tournament had been weakened a lot, the armor of the Jungle Ranger was far worse than therge-scale mobile armor. If they were hit by ground-to-ground missiles, the pilot would be heavily injured if not dead...
The overloading operation of the drive furnace was only two hundred percent! Operating at seventy-five percent! One hundred and fifty-seven percent! Sixty-three percent, two hundred percent!
Under a series ofmands, in the time it takes for a spark to fly off a flint, the Jungle Ranger suddenly elerated and decelerated before rapidly elerating again.
In the short moment, Jungle Ranger’s unique lightning footwork had reached the point where everyone was shocked.
In front of Qin Fen, that perfect salvo of rounds was like a broken fis. The Jungle Ranger was like an iparably sly loach. In the blink of an eye, it broke through the salvo of rounds as its barrel appeared in front of the Gxy Steel Spirit.
“How is this possible?” A voice filled with disbelief immediately resounded from the Gxy Steel Spirit.
Several spectating European recruits were shocked at first before the corner of their lips rose into a confident smile. They all knew perfectly well how strong the attack power of the Jungle Ranger was. Even if it broke through the blockade, it would only be like a tiger trying to eat a turtle, nowhere to bite!
The strongest attack of the Jungle Ranger was just the four missiles hidden in the breastte. It would be near impossible for it to st away the specially processed armor te of the Gxy Steel Spirit...
Suddenly, the sounds of gears rotating appeared from the Gxy Silver Spirit’s abdominal region as the abdominal missiles emerged at the same time, locking on to the Jungle Ranger in the blink of an eye.
A confident smile presented itself on Guss’s lips. He admitted that he had underestimated Qin Fen’s ability to operate. A mobile armor’s drive furnace could not be often overloaded for a long time. If one was not careful enough, he or she might blow up the entire mobile armor.
Nheless, even after a few sudden elerations, there was no sign of any damage whatsoever. This clearly showed the extraordinary understanding of the Jungle Ranger’s operator in regards to mobile armor’s driver furnace...
Several missiles, as well as continuous salvo from two heavy grenadeunchers on its shoulders, shrouded Qin Fen, once more.
<i>Swish...</i>
Drive furnace overloaded to three hundred percent! Drive furnace cooling down! Drive furnace starting up!
Leaving only an afterimage under Gxy Steel Spirit’s crotch, the Jungle Ranger rushed behind the Gxy Steel Spirit at an unbelievable speed.
Lying on the ground was a huge arm. It was the weapon damaged by the Gxy Steel Spirit, the Vulcan-level missile!
This arm had been removed, but the missile was already in an activated state. The only thing it wascking was the final ignitionmand, that’s all.
Originally, this arm’s Vulcan missile was not able to reach this final step and was removed by the other side.
Before the start of the match, the European recruits, in order to wantonly kill, had deliberately given the Asian recruits a chance to see hope. And had killed this hope at thest minute.
The coolest scene of thest match.
Now, at this moment, it had be a readymade ace in the hole.
The Jungle Armor lifted that huge arm,unching that Vulcan missile that had no chance tounch earlier.
The European recruits were all dumbfounded. <i>How does he elerate so quickly? Even if the drive furnace is overloaded to two hundred percent, its speed should not be that fast!? Is the drive furnace overloaded to three hundred percent? How is that possible? That requires the most precise timing for an advance shutdown or a dyed shutdown, otherwise, the drive furnace would explode!</i>
Before the Gxy Steel Spirit pilot, Guss, could feel surprised from the recent speed, the Vulcan missile just so happened to have fired from a unique angle, making it impossible for him to dodge!
<i>BOOM!</i>
A violent tremor ran through the ground as the dazzling explosion gave rise to a cloud of dust. The recruits on both sides subconsciously raised their hands to block the dust and rubble blown over due to the heat wave and the wind.
Amid the vague shadows, the Gxy Steel Spirit also raised its thick arm to block the front side, blocking in the same way that the ordinary people do with their hands when they were attacked.
<i>Huh? What’s going on? The Vulcan missile missed!? </i>The Gxy Steel Spirit pilot, Guss, couldn’t believe that he had actually escaped death.
The European recruits couldn’t believe that just when the Jungle Ranger was finally about to turn the tide, there would be such a dramatic event at thest minute.
Everyone was quickly searching about, looking for that Jungle Ranger that had given everyone a shock just from its appearance.
<i>Not on the left, not on the right, not at the front, not at the back? It’s not like it can disappear from this world just like that? </i>While Guss was searching, he suddenly discovered that hisrades were looking at his mobile armor’s shoulder with surprise.
Much to everyone’s surprise, the Jungle Ranger, at the moment of explosion, was standing on the Gxy Steel Spirit’s shoulder.
Finally, in those surprised eyes of Guss shed a smile. The Gxy Steel Spirit might not be that fast, but it didn’t mean that its arm was clumsy.
On the contrary, this kind ofrge mobile armor’s arm was highly flexible in order to have a better air-to-air capability and catch those fighter jets that could fly at supersonic speed.
There were even rumors that a BT mobile armor pilot had once used arge mobile armor to do tricks so quickly that it seemed like he was doing magic! This could only be done with a highly flexible robotic arm!
Guss admitted that he was unable to do magic trick-like maneuvers with the robotic arm, but he could quite easily catch a Jungle Ranger standing on its shoulder. After all, the power of Gxy Silver Spirit’s drive furnace was far greater than that of the Jungle Ranger’s. If all the power was used to support the robotic arm, the arm would be so fast that it could leave afterimages in the air.
<i>Click...</i>
Much to Guss’ dismay, a sound of gear struck suddenly rang. He discovered that he was unable to move the Gxy Steel Spirit’s arm!
“This?” Guss started a self-diagnostic test at once and found the reason immediately.
There was some problem with themand control circuit of the Gxy Steel Spirit’s arm. Now, the machine was doing intensive self-repair. Presumably, it would be repaired very soon.
“Can’t move it, right?” Qin Fen raised the left arm of the Jungle Ranger.
Not long ago, it was still aplete arm. But now, it waspletely scrapped. It appeared to be the consequence of hitting something very, very hard.
“You...”
“That’s right, that Vulcan missile was just my expression of the possibility of revenge of myrades-in-arms.” The Jungle Ranger jumped down to the ground, standing before the Gxy Steel Spirit. “Just now, I used the Jungle Ranger’s left hand to temporarily disable all the mobility functions of the Gxy Steel Spirit. You must be feeling d to hear me talking like this, right? Thinking that you are buying some time, am I right?”
Guss, who was sitting in the cockpit, waspletely stunned. Qin Fen had spoken his inner thoughts. <i>Buying time! That’s right! So long as I can buy some time, it will be the end of the Jungle Ranger when my Gxy Steel Spirit can move once more.</i>
Qin Fen raised the Jungle Ranger’s arm, pointing at the lower part of the Gxy Steel Spirit. “Here, this is the key part of your mobile armor, am I right?”
Several European recruits looked surprised at the same time. <i>That’s the key part of the Gxy Steel Spirit’s secret transformation move. How can he see through it in one nce?</i>
Before everyone could react from the shock, Qin Fen had already started moving. The Jungle Ranger bent its leg before jumping into the air, heavily kicking at the key part of the Gxy Steel Spirit. The thrusters at its back started firing, improving its speed.
As it was the key location, the defense of the Gxy Steel Spirit there was very sturdy.
As such, it was even less likely for just a strike of Jungle Ranger to achieve any remarkable result.
Just as the Jungle Rangernded back on the ground, it leaped once more, kicking in the same way as before.
<i>Bang... bang... bang...</i>
Hammering sounds like the ones heard in a cksmith’s shop resounded throughout the quiet battlefield as the Jungle Ranger kept on attacking the same location, again and again, patiently.
Meanwhile, Guss kept on staring nervously at the disy before him, which was showing the data from the mobile armor’s repair system.
“Hold on a bit....hold on a bit more...as long as I can hold on a bit, it can move again!” Guss kept on muttering to himself, persuading himself. He was afraid that he would be unable to persevere and take the initiative to walk out of the mobile armor and choose to concede.
“I can move...”
<i>Bang... kacha...</i>
<i>Zizi... zizi...</i>
Suddenly, electrical sparks jumped out from the disy before Guss’s eyes as numerous plumes of smoke rose from various locations of the mobile armor.
Not long after, the huge Gxy Steel Spirit fell onto the ground. The Jungle Ranger, without a moment of dy, stepped aside and picked up a lower limb of a mobile armor that was dismantled by the Gxy Steel Spirit.
<i>Bang!</i>
The Gxy Steel Spirit’s head was immediately ttened. The lower limb that was dismantled not too long ago yed a huge role in this attack.
<i>Bang... bang... bang...</i>
A flustered Guss crawled his way out of the Gxy Steel Spirit. When Qin Fen finally stopped attacking, this mighty Gxy Steel Spirit was reduced to a pile of scrap.
The recruits on both sides couldn’t believe the scene on the battlefield.
The giant mobile armor, that was approximately ten meters tall, was actually defeated so horrendously by a two-meter tall Jungle Ranger in a duel! And even reduced to a pile of scraps at that.
Ten meters vs two meters.
In terms of both power and speed, it was almost like an adult fighting a child who had just learned to walk.
Or one could even say that it was like a fight between a lion and a hare.
Adult or lion, both of whom should have won, was actually defeated by the child.
This kind of ending waspletely out of everyone’s expectations. After all, the difference between the performance of two mechs was like the difference between heaven and earth. Never before in history had a Jungle Ranger defeated a Gxy Steel Spirit single-handedly.
Disgrace!? No, this could no longer be described by the word “disgrace” alone. If the pilot wasn’t a European recruit, but an East Asia recruit from the State of Japan, then, he would have already chosen tomit seppuku*.
Such a disgrace could not be washed clean even aftermitting suicide a hundred times!
The recent winning streak momentum of the Gxy Steel Spirit...
The recent prestige of Gxy Steel Spirit set up by disgracing others...
They allpletely vanished in the puff of smoke with the end of this unexpected battle.
The cockpit of the Jungle Ranger slowly opened as Qin Fen jumped out and walked into the Red Lotus Phantom.
“I am in a hurry, I have other ns tonight. All of you,e at me together!”
