Chapter 198: Still Too Young
The exquisite dagger in Ling Zhan's hand, carrying an unmatched sharpness capable of tearing through any Level 50 gold-grade armor, landed on Ba Meng's neck under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
Ding!!
However, there was no expected spurt of blood!
Instead, an extremely crisp metallic clink echoed!
Brilliant sparks burst out like blooming flowers!
Such a vicious and precise backstab was completely defended by Ba Meng's mech!
"Holy crap! Is Ba Meng's mech defense really that strong?"
"Of course! Brother Ba Meng's mech is a skill that overlays his Level 55 gold-grade armor. The fusion of skill and armor, how could it be broken by a non-specialist's attack?"
Some freshmen and sophomores voiced their doubts, naturally answered by the juniors.
"It's over! Ling Zhan got caught by Ba Meng!"
At this moment, another exclamation rose from the audience.
It turned out that when Ling Zhan's strike missed and he was about to follow the assassin's code to retreat.
Four red steel mechanical claws extended directly from the back of Ba Meng's mech!
"Hmph! You think you can get away so easily after ambushing me?"
Ba Meng sneered coldly.
Swish!!
The four steel mechanical claws shot out like crab pincers, and in the blink of an eye, they clamped down on Ling Zhan's limbs!
Buzz!!
Next, Ba Meng extended his right arm, aiming at Ling Zhan.
The mech on his arm had already transformed into a laser cannon, gathering and charging light particles.
Feeling utterly humiliated, Ba Meng couldn't help but burst into laughter at this moment!
His arrogant laughter echoed through the vast arena.
The next moment.
His arrogant smile turned into a hideous and ferocious expression.
Without any hesitation, he pulled the trigger of the laser cannon!
"Die for me!!"
Boom!!
The mechanical laser cannon, powerful enough to pierce the defense of any Level 50 expert, emitted a dazzling and brilliant beam of destruction!
It directly pierced through Ling Zhan's entire body!
You couldn't even see any blood splatter!
Because all the blood and moisture in those muscular tissues had already completely evaporated into steam under the terrifying high temperature of the laser blast!
"This kid should be dead..."
"No matter how monstrous Ling Zhan is, he can only concede defeat in the face of such a level difference."
The freshmen and sophomores at this moment.
Witnessing Ling Zhan's body being pierced by the laser, couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.
Actually...
They were hoping Ling Zhan would create a miracle!
The juniors, however, showed expressions of expected results.
As for He Chuan...
For some reason, he actually breathed a sigh of relief!
Good!
Ba Meng didn't lose!
If Ba Meng lost, the pressure on He Chuan would have increased dramatically!
Ba Meng's strength was only slightly weaker than He Chuan's, so if Ba Meng lost, there was a high probability He Chuan would also lose if he stepped onto the stage!
Next.
Realizing his relieved mood, He Chuan felt humiliated again!
Damn it!
Damn it, I actually got so nervous because of a Level 27 non-specialist!
What a disgrace!
At this moment.
On the arena.
Ba Meng looked at the dust left on the mechanical claw, presumably the ashes of Ling Zhan's cremated body.
He gently blew on the steaming laser cannon on his arm.
Then leisurely turned his head and looked at the referee teacher, smiling faintly, "Teacher, can you finally declare me the winner now?"
However.
The referee, also a third-tier mechanic, looked at Ba Meng with disappointment and shook his head lightly.
Just as Ba Meng furrowed his brow, about to question, "Teacher, are you trying to protect Ling Zhan?"
From the audience outside the arena, He Chuan's voice suddenly boomed:
"Ba Meng! Watch out!"
But it was too late!!
Swish!!
An arrow, imbued with the overwhelming power of 'Critical Hit' and 'Sure Hit,' along with the effects of 'Whisper,' 'Poison Coating,' and 'Explosive Arrow,' shot at an extremely tricky and bizarre angle, pierced into Ba Meng's crotch!!
Boom!!
The previously indestructible mech defense was instantly blown apart!
Everyone watched in stunned silence as a brilliant, dazzling explosion of sparks erupted from Ba Meng's crotch!!
"Ahhhhh!!"
Accompanying this captivating burst of fireworks was Ba Meng's agonizing and mournful scream!
The piercing scream echoed through the ears of every spectator.
The next second.
Ba Meng's eyes rolled back, and he fell directly from the War Lord's shoulder.
The War Lord just started to reach out to catch its master.
However.
Ling Zhan's indifferent voice suddenly rang out: "Did I allow you to move?"
Buzz!!
At this moment.
A dazzling electronic blue light flared up!
The War Lord's intelligent core instantly sensed that it had lost complete control over its limbs!
All the mechanical components' energy systems were completely paralyzed at this moment!
Not only that!
The other assembled parts began to loosen!
A towering hundred-meter War Lord was now in a state of imminent disintegration!
'Overloaded Operation' + 'Rapid Disassembly'!
Both are primary skills of the Mechanic class!
Wow!!
The audience erupted in a chorus of astonished exclamations!
They then witnessed the six Ling Zhans completely disassemble the giant War Lord!
Boom!!
All the parts shattered and disintegrated under these two skills, becoming paralyzed and disabled!
Ba Meng, who had fallen to the ground, was fortunately protected by his mech, preventing him from turning into a bloody pulp.
But at this moment, his eyes had rolled back completely, showing no signs of life!
After all, his critical area had been directly hit, and the arrow also carried the despicable 'Poison Coating' skill!
"Ba Meng is still too young..."
"The 'Ling Zhan' who backstabbed him was actually just a clone!"
"In fact, Ling Zhan created six clones when he used the Shadow Clone Technique!"
"And his real body had long ago shifted positions, using 'Shadow Stealth' to slip away!"
"The funny thing is that Ba Meng thought he had killed Ling Zhan. In his complacency, he was ended by a tricky and bizarre arrow!"
On the main platform.
A teacher who had not only completed the third tier but also held the title of tactical expert, spoke with satisfaction about Ling Zhan's methods.
"What's even more bizarre is that this arrow could ignore Ba Meng's mech defense and cause him such fatal damage!"
"This indicates that Ling Zhan had the strength to instantly kill Ba Meng from the very beginning!"
"Perhaps he just wanted to see what these third-year prodigies were capable of, which is why he allowed Ba Meng to show off his skills here."
Another teacher added his analysis.
At this point.
The other teachers no longer needed to add anything.
What made people's expressions complicated was...
Below the arena.
The contracted beast of Ba Meng had just been released into the arena.
It saw its master lying on the ground, completely lifeless.
Roar!!
This small yet incredibly fast Thunder Lightning Dragon, filled with grief and rage, charged directly at the slender figure in the middle of the arena without any hesitation!
Clearly.
It already knew that this human was the murderer who killed its master!
