The Seventh Base

Chapter 622: Chapter 51: Locking the First?_2

The left mechanical arm spewed out terrifying energy light, and the Netherworld Mecha continued to charge up, drawing ever closer to the opponent.

Salin furrowed his brows and fired first, the shock wave sweeping out once again like a massive wave.

But just then, he saw Xu Mo’s Energy Battle Blade slashing out, energy particles bursting out in a dazzling light, cutting through the powerful energy shock wave and actually splitting it apart.

“Looking for death,” Salin’s mecha charged straight toward Xu Mo, but in that moment, Xu Mo’s left arm fired out a barrage of fire, with beams of particle light killing instantly at close range.

Salin’s mecha swung the club in its hand swiftly, eventually forming an energy barrier in front of him that was impervious to wind and rain.

“Boom boom boom…” The ferocious attack pushed Salin’s mecha back, but the attack from the particle beams somehow failed to penetrate Salin’s defenses, astonishing many with its rapid attack speed.

However, Xu Mo did not stop his assault, pressing down on him and continuously firing, with Salin’s mecha retreating at high speed, defending against the particle beam attacks without ever letting them breach his defenses.

But Xu Mo was also rapidly closing in, continuously pressing forward, giving Salin no time to react.

“Boom…”

Another loud sound, Salin’s mecha blocked the attacks consecutively and was pushed back, but then, a dark and eerie light flashed by, and with a pfft, the battle blade slashed through a gap, and the next moment, a mecha head flew off.

Under the stunned gazes of countless people, the mecha head had just flown off when the particle beams that followed hit and penetrated the decapitated mecha head.

“No…”

Salin roared.

The next moment, the mecha exploded internally and was wrecked, plummeting downward.

The Netherworld Mecha hovered in the air, its presence drowning out everything else, and countless people looked at Xu Mo’s figure, extremely exhilarated. In the mecha duel, the Hunter of the Blue Star Energy Technology Group once again dominated the opponent. The genius mecha master from Camp Star had also been very dominant in a previous battle but still ended up disastrously defeated.

What happened to Salin?

He probably didn’t die but would be gravely injured, depending on how strong his Source Power Level was and whether it could defend against this devastating strike.

Still, Xu Mo probably didn’t do it intentionally, right? His speed was just too fast, his blade slicing off the opponent’s mecha head faster than the fire emitted from his left arm, such that the particle beams arrived only after he had decapitated the head, rushing into the mecha interior. It was just Salin’s bad luck.

The people from Camp Star looked pale and extremely distressed, their genius mecha master might have been killed in this battle.

After defeating Salin, the Netherworld Mecha hovered in the air, not continuing to attack, its gaze scanning the battlefield.

At this moment, the arena had lost many people, the battles exceedingly intense, strong contenders clashing and continuously facing defeat.

The Royal Knights’ Sterling was still aggressively dominant, with his Golden Spear sweeping all opponents away in an invincible manner. As he defeated Salin, Sterling also successively overcame two more, proving invincible.

Lucas University’s genius contestant Louis was also very strong, after all, he was the top genius of the Extraordinary Department at Lucas University.

Besides, there were a few others Xu Mo didn’t recognize who were also very powerful, representing contestants from various major mechanical groups.

“Boom…” Just then, a terrifying blast echoed. A burly mechanical body smashed its opponent right in front of it, then looked toward Xu Mo and charged at him.

This mechanical body was very humanoid, almost like a robot, with eyes that could emit energy light, a massive body holding a Heavy Hammer, charging at Xu Mo with terrifying speed, exuding an overwhelmingly domineering presence.

Prinston Mechanical Transformation Group’s contestant representative, Moen.

Prinston Mechanical Transformation Group specialized in mechanical transformations, possessing very advanced technology.

This Moen, was a completely transformed body, having almost turned himself into a Mechanical Man due to severe injuries that destroyed his body functions, with only his brain intact. That’s why he underwent the transformation.

Seeing Moen charging at him, Xu Mo kept on firing, with Moen’s reaction speed being exceptionally fast, swiftly dodging while his hand swung the Heavy Hammer continuously, slamming towards the incoming particle beams. Despite the powerful explosive force, it still did not stop his forward momentum as he continued pressing toward Xu Mo.

Prinston Mechanical Transformation Group informed Moen about the bounties for defeating each opponent, and the bounty was highest for defeating a Hunter from the Blue Star Energy Technology Group, far surpassing many others.

Therefore, Moen chose Xu Mo as his opponent.

Now, Xu Mo was receiving a high level of attention; half of those present wanted to defeat him head-on, but they hesitated because of Xu Mo’s strength. However, Moen dared to make his move.

When Xu Mo saw Moen approaching, he remained composed. Boom… The energy of the mecha burst forth. He fired from his left arm, and instantly, over a dozen particle beams shot forward, almost at the same moment, as the Netherworld Mecha also charged forward, as if chasing the particle beams.

Seeing the particle beams surging towards him, Moen dodged consecutively and continued to advance. The air roared with loud noises. As Xu Mo drew near, Moen raised his Heavy Hammer and swung it downward.

“Boom…”

The Heavy Hammer smashed down, colliding with a beam of light, creating a violent explosion, yet it did not stop Moen’s assault. That overwhelmingly powerful strike continued forward, straight toward the Netherworld Mecha.

“Crack!”

The Mechanical Bodies of Moen and the mecha brushed past each other, the Heavy Hammer missed the Netherworld Mecha crashing beside it. The War Saber sliced open the head of Moen’s Mechanical Body, terribly cleaving it apart. Moen roared, turned around, and saw Xu Mo opening fire at him again.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

Moen’s Mechanical Body was hit continuously, exploding repeatedly. A particle beam hit his head, causing Moen to plummet downwards.

Moen from Prinston Mechanical Transformation Group was still no match.

Countless people in the stands went wild, screaming shook the heavens.

The Hunter was too strong. In these two matchups, his opponents were very strong, yet he defeated them, and Xu Mo seemed to do it with ease, as if not under any major pressure, whether it was Salin or Moen, none could truly threaten him.

In this arena, Blue Star Energy Group’s representative Hunter remained unmatched, standing at the pinnacle.

Who could defeat him?

Could Sterling from the Royal Knights do it?

Or the genius Louis from Lucas University?

“I’m so envious of Brother Xu, who knows how much he’ll make after this fight,” Xiao Qi muttered. Many competitors were fighting for their sponsors, but Brother Xu was different, he was his own sponsor, fighting for himself.

If he wins this battle and takes first place, the orders for Blue Star Energy Technology Group will surge once again, they probably won’t be able to handle more orders.

“Sister Butterfly, did Brother Xu give you any shares?” Xiao Qi asked.

“???” Ye Qingdie looked at him: “The team already got shares.”

“Is it the same, what’s your relationship with him?” Xiao Qi said.

“Don’t court death.” Ye Qingdie threatened, and Xiao Qi shut up.

At the golden banquet, many were still watching the battle on the screen.

However, more people were paying attention to Sterling, while Elizabeth was focusing on Xu Mo’s battle.

It seems that Xu Mo should be able to make it to the final rounds, provided he doesn’t meet Sterling earlier. Sterling’s strength could pose a threat to Xu Mo.

“Miss Elizabeth, this representative from Blue Star Energy Technology Group is quite strong. If there’s a chance, you could recruit him to serve you, even as your guard. He has boundless potential for the future,” someone suggested.

“Indeed, he might have a chance to face Sterling. Let’s see how many spears he can withstand from Sterling,” another person said, as Sterling’s participation inevitably meant aiming for the first place in the competition.
