Chapter 257: The Star of Defense
ned means someone close to him is responsible. Whether they did it themselves or not, they are definitely involved."Wu's gaze swept the room deeply, and she spoke plainly."Mother, please rest assured,...This mecha was manually calibrated by Du Zifeng and can be considered custom-made for Ripple. Only she has the mental strength to easily control it. During this field exercise, Du Zifeng directly gave her the fourth-generation mecha to try out, and had Ian collect real-time data.
"Little uncle, is this okay"
Ripple had also expressed confusion at the time.
Of course, you're helping me test it. How else would I know what problems the mecha has
Du Zi Feng smiled and explained.
Ripple felt that what he said made sense, so she temporarily accepted this mecha. Of course, to avoid any problems with the mecha during use, she also brought along her own usual mecha.
Everyone quickly jumped into their mech cockpits and then leaped out of the spaceship, following Ouyang Teacher's sleek black mech towards the central location of the satellite star.
Twenty thousand kilometers away from the satellite, a spaceship with a black python piercing a skull emblem carved on its hull was flying towards it with a clear goal.
Here, Ou Yang led the students of Class A safely into the ZJWL fortress. After handing over their supplies to the stationed mecha soldiers, they, under the guidance of a mecha maintenance worker at the fortress, toured the entire garrison, knowing exactly where they could go and where they couldn't. The first day passed just like that.
The next day, Lian's biological clock woke her up at six o'clock sharp. After a simple wash, she went to the training ground inside the fortress. Before everyone gathered, she practiced a set of physical exercises.
This is her daily routine exercise, and she wears gravity rings on both her wrists and ankles to enhance her body's strength and agility.
Just as Lian Ri was about to make a move, a tall, dark man, as black as an iron tower, appeared before him. He sized Lian Ri up with his eyes and then grinned, revealing a set of pearly white teeth. With a dismissive tone, he said:
"I heard that the mechs helping out this time are all elite students from the Empire's First Military Academy, but I didn't expect them to be just a bunch of pretty boys who only know how to throw punches and kicks."
Ripple took a serious look at the other person. He was two meters tall, wearing a black hurdler vest that revealed his well-built muscles, and baggy work pants on the bottom.
He has neat cropped hair, a fierce look, and appears to be a power-type mech soldier. He usually wears heavy mechs and is responsible for assault and rearguard operations. If you don't have the real deal, you can't even control a heavy mech.
"My name is Hongtu. This is my first time coming to the Sanitation Planet for mecha practice. I'm indeed the palest one in our class, and there's also Annie, she's paler than me."
The ripples answered the other person's question seriously.
Sean, who was looking for trouble, was a bit stuck.
My classmates should be here soon, and we'll have tasks to do in a bit. If you want to spar with me, how about after dinner I'd love to learn from you.
Liàn Yī still said politely.
Sean extended his fan-like hands and introduced himself:
"I'm Sean, the squad leader of the mech guard here. Considering how polite you are, I'll go easy on you tonight."
Thank you, Captain Shawn.
Ripples extended her fair hand and gently shook Shawn's before rejoining her classmates.
All the students in the class saw the two people shaking hands. When the ripples subsided, they chased after them to ask for an explanation.
The ripples did not embellish, simply and concisely recounting the process of their meeting, incidentally mentioning the evening's sparring session.
"Wow, either Shawn has great eyesight or he's incredibly unlucky."
Anne tossed her red hair and said with relish.
"Anne, never underestimate any opponent, not even Hongtu. Being overconfident is a major mistake."
Kate immediately stopped Anne's gloating.
"If Sean chose any of us for a match, he'd probably win pretty easily. As for going up against Trailblazer, that's a tougher call."
Hill stroked his chin and said.
"Hill, you have some self-awareness. You better figure out how to avoid losing too badly."
Mr. OuYang's voice came from behind the crowd. It turned out that everyone had gathered around Ripples, listening to what happened, and hadn't noticed Mr. OuYang arrive.
Everyone immediately stood in four rows, waiting for Mr. OuYang's arrangement.
"People have already seen who the strongest among you is, so they went straight to Hongtu. If he doesn't perform well, you guys will suffer for it this month."
Ouyang raised an eyebrow and said.
"Teacher, is it popular to bully newcomers here too"
Anne asked.
"There is competition everywhere, so don't take it lightly!"
Ouyang sent out a meaningful smile, making all the fresh-faced students feel a chill down their spines.
All day long, the students of Class A went to the mech bay and helped the mech technicians with their maintenance work.
Mech construction and maintenance. They shut down last year, so now it's all about putting practice into operation. Lian'e has a small workshop run by Du Zi Feng, so she already holds a mech maintenance certification, allowing her to independently maintain mechs without an assistant. On that day, she completed the maintenance of two mechs.
After dinner, everyone spontaneously gathered around Ripple and went to the indoor sparring arena instead of returning to their own rooms. Iron Tower Sean and his companions were already waiting for them.
"Sean, these young masters and misses are all delicate. You have to be light-handed, don't go too hard or we'll all get in trouble later."
Sean's teammate quipped.
It's just practice, nothing serious.
Shawn was eager to try it.
He had already inquired about the young man from Uncle Ou Yang. That pretty boy was the most talented student of their generation. Not to mention his mental power, but even his ancient martial arts level was not low. He was definitely qualified to be his opponent, so he went up to him this morning to chat him up. The result was that the kid was very cooperative and directly proposed a sparring session.
After the little sprouts had come, Sean leaped onto the fighting platform.
Ripple didn't waste time. With a light leap, she landed gracefully two meters from Sean and then said with a smile:
"Please advise!"
Shawn didn't go for any fancy moves either. He took a running start, leaped into the air, and used the force of his descent to deliver a punch towards Ripple. Ripple quickly countered with a punch of his own, and the two fists collided with a resounding impact. The surrounding onlookers felt a wave of energy wash over them, and instinctively stepped back three paces before regaining their balance.
On stage, the two fists separated in an instant. Shawn's face was filled with surprise, while Lian Ri's face was full of satisfaction. She had finally found an opponent who could allow her to unleash 70% of her ancient martial arts power.
"Again!"
This time, Ripples struck first. Her punches were incredibly fast, almost only leaving afterimages visible. Sean also straightened his face and swiftly met the opponent's attack.
Once again split apart, Ripple's eyes sparkled, while Sean gritted his teeth and rubbed his wrist, reluctantly saying:
I lost, let's try again tomorrow!
Okay.
The ripples ended well and chased the people away. Where was she going to find a sparring partner, especially someone with rich combat experience
From this day forward, under Ripple's guidance, the students of Class A each challenged a veteran. Although they lost more than they won, they all felt that their combat abilities had improved significantly. back to the main hall, not only was the Ghost King there, but so was Chen Shi, and the smug Hong Ji.The Ghost King glanced at Lian Yi, then pulled Hong Ji into his embrace. Ignoring his wife Chen's d...
