Chapter 76: The Battlefield!

Watching the head of the Nine-tailed Sheep burst like fireworks.

Whether it was Ling Cheng in the cockpit.

Or the students in the command center.

All were silent.

Then everyone looked towards the direction of the cannon fire.

They saw, less than a kilometer from the battlefield, in a residential area between two buildings, a black and white painted mecha crouching.

‘Rain Swallow’!

The mecha is holding a sniper rifle named ‘White Dew’.

The snow-white gun barrel reflected the sunlight, shining brightly.

There was even blue smoke rising from the muzzle.

Seeing ‘Rain Swallow’, Ling Cheng finally relaxed and then said on the public channel, "Li Zi, when did you come back?"

"You scared me."

"I thought we were also hunting for people’s heads."

"So it’s you."

"Did you take down the people from Group A?"

"I didn’t realize, you’re quite capable."

Inside another mecha.

Shen Yu frowned.

Why didn’t Li Zi give a heads-up if she’s joining the battle?

And.

She usually keeps a distance of two to three kilometers from prey.

But now she’s shooting within less than one kilometer?

Suddenly.

Shen Yu thought of something.

He urgently shouted on the public channel, "Be careful, that could be…"

As the last words fell,

‘Rain Swallow’ turned the gun towards.

Ling Cheng’s mecha.

Fire!

Bang!

Amidst the roar.

Ling Cheng’s mecha flew up entirely.

Then crashed to the ground.

Sliding a long distance.

On mecha’s chest, there is a blue bullet embedded.

The next moment.

The bullet releases an electromagnetic pulse, causing Ling Cheng’s mecha to convulse continuously, and all circuits malfunction.

Inside the cockpit.

The lights suddenly dimmed.

The lights of various instruments flickered erratically, sparking.

Finally.

The mecha stopped moving.

The ’empathy system’ shut down without any warning, just directly closed.

Ling Cheng looked confused.

After a few seconds passed.

He took off his helmet and roared, "Li Zi, are you crazy?"

"Why did you use ‘pulse bullets’ on me?"

Of course.

Now the mecha system was paralyzed, communication was cut off long ago, and no one could hear his cries.

In the command center of Second Grade Group B.

The students who acted as staff all turned silent.

They watched the dark red mecha on the big screen lying motionless on the ground.

They all started shouting.

"What is Li Zi doing? Why is she pointing the gun at her own people?"

"Is there a malfunction?"

"Can someone contact her?"

"She didn’t respond to our communication request."

At that moment.

Another person whispered, "Quick, look."

On the big screen.

‘Rain Swallow’ aimed the gun at Shen Yu’s aircraft again.

However, Shen Yu is prepared.

Activate the ‘Empty Wall’ seal.

Then decisively leave the battlefield.

‘Rain Swallow’ also does not pursue, carrying a sniper rifle walking towards Ling Cheng’s mecha.

At this moment.

Ling Cheng has already come out from the cockpit.

Seeing ‘Rain Swallow’ approaching, Ling Cheng roars, "Li Zi, come out and explain yourself to me!"

But Li Zi does not respond to him.

‘Rain Swallow’ just lowers the gun barrel, pointing at the left arm joint of Ling Cheng’s mecha.

Bang!

The loud gun noise made Ling Cheng’s ears hurt.

The rushing air almost blew him off the mecha.

He was speechless.

He watched as ‘Rain Swallow’ shot and blew up the joints of his own mecha with a single shot.

The outer armor of the mecha splattered, and pieces scattered on the ground.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

‘Rain Swallow’ fired three shots in a row.

Successively blowing up the other joints of the mecha.

Then he pulled out a dagger.

He squatted down.

He started to pry open the armor on mecha’s chest.

Ling Cheng couldn’t hold back anymore and shouted, "Li Zi, stop it right now!"

"Are you out of your mind? Why are you prying open my mecha?"

Clang!

A piece of the outer armor panel flew off, hitting nearby cars and crushing them.

‘Rain Swallow’ completely ignored him.

Before long.

Ling Cheng saw ‘Rain Swallow’ remove the mecha’s energy furnace, cut the connections with a dagger, and walk away.

Ling Cheng stood on the mecha.

He turned into a statue-like figure.

When the wind blew.

He suddenly felt very cold.

Especially in his heart.

It was a chilly feeling.

In the command center of Second Grade Group B.

The students sat down one by one looking lost and dejected.

After a while, he still didn’t react.

Just at that moment.

On their big screen, the judges’ announcement appeared.

‘First Grade Group A, Luo Yan, defeated the lower ranked giant beast Boshi.’

‘Rewarding the whole team with 1000 credits.’

‘First Grade Group A, Luo Yan, won the Group B mecha ‘Rain Swallow’.’

‘Rewarding the individual with 1200 credits, and counting it towards the team’s score.’

‘First Grade Group A is currently in the lead, other teams’ students please keep up the good work!’

…….

"Wait."

"What does this mean?"

"Why did Li Zi hit the Nine-tailed Sheep’s head but reward Group A credit?"

"No way!"

"Could it be that it was not Li Zi who was driving ‘Rain Swallow’ just now, but Group A’s Luo Yan?"

Chaos erupted at Group B command center.

At that moment, Shen Yu’s voice came over the public channel.

"This is the only explanation."

"I had this thought just now."

"The announcement from the judges confirmed my thoughts even more."

A boy shook his head and said, "Luo Yan actually got ‘Rain Swallow,’ this is so magical."

"Wait."

"Even if he got ‘Rain Swallow,’ the one who fired the gun is still our team’s mecha."

"So, this giant beast should be considered slain by us!"

"Right, this is not fair!"

"We need to appeal!"

Soon, Group B lodged an appeal with the judges.

However.

The request was quickly rejected.

The judges believed that although the ‘Rain Swallow’ slayed the giant beast, the pilot was Luo Yan.

So they upheld the original decision.

Looking at the notice.

The students in Group B were extremely downhearted.

At this moment, Ling Cheng returned.

He picked up the communication device and contacted the judges at the base.

"I am Wei Fenghua." There was a quick response from the communication device.

Ling Cheng shouted loudly, "Teacher Wei, I want to complain about that person named Luo!"

"He has already won and destroyed my mecha, taking away my energy furnace."

"How am I supposed to fight next?"

Wei Fenghua said calmly, "So, what do you think the judges should do?"

Ling Cheng said without hesitation, "Tell Luo Yan to give me back the energy furnace!"

"Tell him to fix my mecha!"

Wei Fenghua continued, "Anything else?"

Ling Cheng pondered, "He took Li Zi’s mecha, he should return the mecha to us as well, shouldn’t he?"

Wei Fenghua asked, "Is that all?"

Ling Cheng nodded, "That’s all."

Wei Fenghua coughed twice and said, "Ling Cheng, my classmate."

"You will be going to the battlefield in the future."

"The mecha was destroyed, and the energy furnace was taken away."

"Do you want us to help you get back the energy furnace as well?"

Ling Cheng hesitated for a moment, then argued, "But teacher, this is not a battlefield."

"Isn’t this just a test?"

Wei Fenghua said, "Yes, it’s a test."

"But this is a ‘real-life test’, don’t you understand what ‘real-life’ means?"

"Let me tell you, it starts from the moment you leave the base."

"Already on the battlefield!"
