I don't want to come up with a funny book title anymore.

This is why so few people came forward when Xie Fengnan initially called for a change of allegiance.

Even though most people have never actually seen Xie Xinghe make a move, the saying that he is ridiculously strong has been circulating on the Imperial Star.

They didn't believe that Xie Xinghe, in this state, would be no match for Xie Fengnan and his group of four.

Even if they performed exceptionally well—

The central square was a scene of devastation, with cracked ice crisscrossing the ground, petrified people scattered among it, and huge torrents of vines constantly sending people away, while a continuous stream of fireballs continued to perform the "art of explosions".

This cannot be achieved simply by stating a difference in social status; it requires enormous energy to support it.

The way the four of them were doing this undoubtedly took a huge toll on them.

Xie Fengnan is at the fifth level, so maintaining that level isn't too difficult for him.

However, for a regular fourth-order unit, achieving this effect is difficult.

That can only be a burst of energy that quickly fades away; it's a last resort.

Chu Jiaoyang and his group, on the other hand, just kept attacking without stopping.

To put it simply, it's like they're using other people's ultimate abilities like basic attacks.

Xie Fengnan had already sensed the change in atmosphere, but he didn't want to fight Xie Xinghe yet.

If you finish fighting but fail to catch those who escaped, won't you be judged as the loser?

As twins, they can actually sense something about each other at certain times.

For example, Xie Fengnan knows clearly that if they really fight, there will only be two outcomes.

It's either a lose-lose situation or a draw.

If it's a fight to the death, the outcome is hard to predict.

Perhaps Xie Xinghe did not suffer as many hardships as Xie Fengnan, but he did not grow up in a smooth environment either.

As the heir of the Xie family, he not only needs to possess unparalleled intelligence, but also the strength to lead the entire clan.

Therefore, his path to growth was also fraught with difficulties.

It can only be said that talent combined with hard work has made Xie Xinghe who he is today.

Xie Fengnan didn't want to make a move, and Xie Xinghe wouldn't make the first move either.

The spectators on the sidelines were so eager to step in and play for them.

"We've made so many arrangements, all for this moment! Why aren't they making a move?" Xu Dingguo said, frustrated.

If he knew that Xie Fengnan was planning to deal with all the remaining fugitives before considering a fight with Xie Xinghe.

They might announce right away that everyone except the two of them has been eliminated.

But Xu Dingguo didn't have mind-reading abilities, so he could only wait and see how things unfolded.

By this time, all the new students in the square had been eliminated.

The central square of the military academy is surrounded by several paths.

The lush greenery along the path, which would be a pleasant sight on ordinary days, provided excellent cover at this moment.

Xie Fengnan raised an eyebrow slightly, thinking to himself that it seemed they still had to split up.

It's better to finish clearing the area sooner so I can go home and have dinner sooner.

Freshmen are not allowed to be equipped with weapons when they first enter the school, which is why Xie Fengnan has not touched the Xuanyuan Sword.

However, the rules do not restrict freshmen from acquiring weapons.

The remaining people, having witnessed the monstrous nature of the Blue Team, would have no choice but to seek opportunities at the Mech Research and Assembly Center if they still wished to fight against them.

Of course, the new students wouldn't go straight to pilot mechs; it was just because there was a weapons depot next to the research and development center.

In theory, only those who are sixteen years old and have entered a military academy for systematic study can be granted permission to use the computer.

Before this, they could have some fun with virtual holographic mini-games, but the actions they could perform were very limited.

It's somewhat similar to taking a driving test in China, where you can sit in a simulator to experience the controls, but you can't actually drive it out in real life.

The development of mechs from manual control to mental control has also taken a long time.

Nowadays, most mecha configurations use a mix of two operating systems.

In fact, the behavior of operating a mech with all mental power is known as the strongest combat mode.

However, not everyone has the mental strength to withstand operating a mech for an extended period of time.

Therefore, a manual operation system is needed to fill this gap.

This is why it's stipulated that those under the legal age are not allowed to board the computer.

An underdeveloped body and brain cannot handle the demands of computer use.

The most outstanding mech pilots always assemble and manufacture their own mechs.

They will design the internal layout, operating system, and appearance of the mechs according to their own habits.

There may be differences in strength among mech pilots, but the difference in strength between mechs is not as clear as the difference between people.

Because of the different uses and performance requirements, the materials and designs used in each custom mech will also be different.

Some are more inclined towards exploration, some towards combat, and some towards defense.

Of course, the new students all start by practicing with the same standard mechs.

After all, not everyone has their own custom mech.

Before the mecha system split up, owning your own mecha was no easy feat.

As students in the mecha department, they not only have to work hard to improve their rank and physical fitness, but also learn about mecha manufacturing.

Undeniably, this approach produces well-rounded individuals.

If the mech breaks down on the battlefield, I can fix it myself.

But a person's energy is always limited.

This results in a slow pace and a relatively small number of trainees in the mecha department.

The situation only changed after they were divided into combat and manufacturing systems.

The combat major focuses on improving oneself, while the manufacturing major focuses on building mechs.

It's okay if you're a combat major and don't know anything about mecha manufacturing; the manufacturing master is here to help.

After specializing in their respective areas of expertise, the results were clearly gratifying.

Therefore, the advantages have always outweighed the disadvantages, and the two departments have remained separated until now.

People like Xie Fengnan, who can fight against mechs on their own, are ultimately a minority.

On the battlefield, most of the soldiers were ordinary interstellar people.

Most of them cannot awaken their special abilities, and the seventh rank is an unattainable existence for them.

Their only way to kill the enemy is by relying on mechs.

Therefore, students majoring in combat not only need to learn combat skills, but also need to understand the operating principles and structure of mechs.

This is to make it easier to save yourself in the event of an accident.

Similarly, manufacturing students need to be able to test the mechs they build to determine if they are up to standard, so they need to know basic operations.

Well, you need to know a little about both departments. To put it simply, they're pretty much the same, right?

After all, piloting a mech can be very powerful as long as you master the basic controls.

That concludes the background information.

The rest of the men went to the armory, which contained all sorts of weapons.

The most powerful weapons are, of course, the large weapons mounted on the mechs, such as laser cannons and plasma cannons.

But they obviously can't use it.
