LRAB Chapter 9 Beating up Lü Mufei
Chapter 9 Beating up Lü Mufei
"Buzzing—"
The Galaxy GT's added back armor wing plates fully deployed, and the four propulsion wings shot out pale blue flames forward, causing the entire mech to retreat close to the ground.
"Bang bang bang—"
At the same time, her wrist and shoulder cannons rapidly charged, unleashing a barrage of dense energy projectiles.
Two beams of energy shot out in an arc from the waist, blocking Wang Xing's evasion routes on both sides.
That's a very clever tactic!
Use the speed of the Galaxy GT to create space, then use long-range gunfire to suppress the enemy.
It avoids the weaknesses of low health and close combat.
but……
Wang Xing didn't dodge at all; instead of retreating, he advanced. Facing the two beams of energy, he summoned his arm shield.
"Hiss—!"
The beam of light exploded on the chest armor, leaving only two shallow scorch marks.
Lu Mufei's gun and cannon offensive remained fierce, but Wang Xing remained unfazed.
"Close combat is her weakness, and her health is too low to withstand prolonged attrition... I have plenty of opportunities."
Amidst the hail of bullets, Wang Xing held out for more than two minutes. Once the opponent's health was low and their attacks slowed down, he suddenly broke through the barrage of fire.
"not good!"
Knowing the danger, Lü Mufei spewed blood and qi from her feet to propel herself forward, trying to create distance again... but Wang Xing had already rushed in front of her.
"Speed isn't my strongest point, but explosiveness is!"
"Besides, I just consumed the Abyss Blood Pill, my qi and blood are too surging!"
Wang Xing leaped forward, unleashing the footwork technique "Tiger Leaps and Thunders." He channeled his qi and blood into his legs, and the thrusters sprang to full power. The 2.5-ton Tiger-like vehicle completed a rapid acceleration in a fraction of a second, leaving a spiderweb-like crack in the ground.
"Zheng—!"
A flash of dark golden light streaked across the arena. The first move of the Breaking Army Three Styles, "Mountain Splitting," descended from above with the force of a mountain, slamming heavily into the rear wing of the fleeing Galaxy GT.
"Splash—"
The clang of metal rang out, sparks flew, and the pinkish-white mech flew sideways, sliding seven or eight meters across the ground.
Lu Mufei struggled to stand up, but the mecha's waist hydraulic system had been jammed by the slash, and the propulsion wings had been severed.
At that moment, the match results appeared on the big screen.
[ID: Wang Xing, Victory!]
[ID: Lü Mufei, defeated!]
[Calculating scores for both sides...]
The moment the points settlement interface popped up, Wang Xing subconsciously raised an eyebrow.
[ID: Wang Xing]
[Rank: Silver Four Stars]
[Points: 2248/10000]
"It rose by more than a thousand points?"
Wang Xing was somewhat surprised.
He gained over a thousand points in a single battle, which is quite rare in his matchmaking experience.
The system's scoring algorithm doesn't have a formula; instead, it relies on "Candle Dragon AI" for analysis and calculation. It takes into account everything: opponent level, battle duration, operational precision, tactical application, and more.
Although Lü Mufei's health was only 5.2, her mecha level was a solid 7.3, a whole level higher than his. Moreover, Lü Mufei's battlefield performance and tactical application were quite good... so the points reward for winning was naturally generous.
"A few more battles of this caliber and I can advance to Gold rank."
Wang Xing glanced at the points leaderboard.
Chengdu No. 2 High School Ranking (Anonymous)
1. ****: Gold One Star (12450 points)
2.****: Silver Four-Star (2248 points)
3.****: Silver Four-Star (1132 points)
Wang Xing stared at the asterisk in the name field, already mentally filling in the name.
The person ranked first is no guess; the only one in the entire school with a Gold rank is Bai Lingxue. She has been dominating the rankings since the second half of her junior year and has never fallen off.
As for the second place...
"It's my turn for now."
Wang Xing withdrew his gaze, showing little emotional fluctuation. Rankings are just something to look at and not really care about.
The real examination venue wasn't the metaverse, but the college entrance exam in September, a month later.
"Wang Xing, you are really amazing. I can't beat you."
At this moment, Lü Mufei had already removed the Shadow GT mecha, revealing her true form. Her platinum blonde hair was slightly disheveled, and her cheeks were flushed from exercise, but her expression was not one of frustration; instead, she was all smiles.
She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, smiled at Wang Xing with narrowed eyes, and said with a beautiful curve at the corner of her eye, "But next time, I won't lose so quickly."
"Then good luck."
Wang Xing nodded and offered a small suggestion: "Your combat strategy is sound, but your health can't sustain a prolonged war of attrition. You either need to increase your health or end the battle within thirty seconds."
"Thank you." Lü Mufei smiled, her expression a blend of innocence and a touch of allure.
"I'm logging off now, see you tomorrow."
"Bye-Bye."
Her figure faded from the arena, like a cartoon being slowly erased.
Wang Xing didn't rush to leave. Standing on the empty arena, he stretched the joints of his mecha arm and then clicked "Continue Matchmaking".
In the second match, Wang Xing's opponent was a heavily armored mech from a top-tier player, with 6.5 HP and 6.2 armor. He finished the battle in four minutes, gaining less than 200 points.
In the third match, Wang Xing's opponent was a Void Awakener from Nanlou High School, with 7.5 HP and 7.0 mecha. Both levels were stronger than Wang Xing's, but unfortunately, the opponent's foundation was too weak. It was estimated that he had relied on drugs or external objects to boost his level... Relying on his superior combat skills and solid foundation, Wang Xing defeated his opponent within twenty moves, gaining more than 600 points.
In the fourth match, the opponent was a long-range sniper who kited the enemy the entire time. It took Wang Xing two minutes to catch up, and his score increased by more than 100 points.
The fifth match...
After the fifth match, Wang Xing's score had reached 2950.
"Alright, let's quit while we're ahead."
"My energy and blood are depleted right now; I'd be at a disadvantage if I encountered a powerful opponent..."
He looked up at the virtual time; it was nearly midnight. So he stopped fighting and his consciousness withdrew from the Beidou Metaverse.
Wang Xing opened his eyes, feeling a real sense of fatigue... Although the Beidou Yuan Universe was just a virtual battle, the neural synchronization system caused his body to experience real fatigue... and he also felt 30% pain.
Wang Xing stood up, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and then collapsed onto the bed.
Almost at the same second that the back of his head hit the pillow, Xingyuan Infusion was activated.
In the upper left corner of the field of vision, a line of small blue text quietly appeared—
[Qi and Blood Level: 7.2 → 7.3]
"Um?"
"We've broken through!"
Wang Xing instantly snapped out of his daze, a look of joy spreading across his face.
"The Blood Pill has worked!"
"Although I hadn't broken through before, I had reached a bottleneck. But the five battles just now, with my qi and blood flowing outwards, stimulated my breakthrough..."
Thinking of this, Wang Xing felt even more grateful to Lü Yun.
"Teacher Lü gave me the Yuanxue Pill to help me get into the Yuanpei Class... If I repay him with money, it would seem too vulgar and rigid. The best way to repay him is to live up to his expectations."
"I need to speed things up and get my Qi and Blood to level 7.4 before the September college entrance exams... Also, I need to work on the Metaverse and try to reach the Gold rank before the September exams..."
"As a high school student, I achieved the Gold rank, and the school also provides a scholarship of 50,000 yuan. This money will allow me to purchase more training resources, thus boosting my chances in the September college entrance exam."
Thinking of this, Wang Xing closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep...
As Wang Xing fell asleep, his consciousness seemed to be gently lifted by a large, gentle hand, slowly sinking into darkness.
【Star Abyss Investment - Deep Sleep Mode Activated】
[Estimated sleep duration: 4 hours]
[Equivalent rest duration: 10.2 hours]
Getting enough rest is also a form of self-cultivation.
The absolute deep sleep brought about by the Star Abyss Breathing Technique allowed Wang Xing to have no sleep talking, no tossing and turning, and no nighttime awakenings. There was only a kind of absolutely quiet sleep and repair emanating from the deepest part of his body.
At exactly four o'clock in the morning, the alarm clock rang.
Wang Xing opened his eyes.
Full of energy!
