After faking her death in interstellar space, the powerful woman disguised herself as a man and went

Wei Shenghuang's eyes lit up, and she secretly cheered in her heart.

She mastered the method of adapting to the load of the mecha so quickly; she was right about her!

Leng Ran on the arena had undergone a complete transformation. He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly with both hands and strode towards the guard in front of him.

Looking at the smooth movements and the cold demeanor that seemed to belong to a different person, Xiang Chaoyang's doubts deepened.

Although he was not afraid of close combat, his intuition told him that he would definitely not have the upper hand if he fought this person in close combat!

Therefore, he still chose to attack from a distance. The rocket launcher was activated again, and a barrage of shells flew towards Leng Ran, attempting to block her landing point and force her to retreat.

Leng Ran also saw through Xiang Chaoyang's intentions, but facing the impending barrage of shells, she did not retreat at all, but instead charged forward into the fire!

Just as the shells were about to hit her, she let out a cold snort, and the large sword in her hand suddenly spun like a black tornado, meeting the shells head-on!

With a series of loud bangs, the cannonballs were deflected by the broadsword, tumbling and exploding in the air, but they couldn't touch Leng Ran at all.

Leng Ran's entire set of movements was fluid and seamless, without even a scratch on the mecha's outer shell. She emerged from a burst of flames, sending chills down Xiang Chaoyang's spine as she raised the small ion cannon mounted on her arm.

Although the ion cannon consumes an astonishing amount of energy, this is the last chance to avoid close combat!

"An ion cannon? I have one too."

To Xiang Chaoyang's astonishment, Leng Ran tossed the heavy black sword high into the air, then activated the ion cannon on his arm, aiming it at Xiang Chaoyang.

Two high-energy ion beams collided violently in mid-air and exploded instantly!

This terrifying energy collision far exceeded the arena's tolerance limit, causing the entire arena to shake violently. Cracks spread rapidly like a spider web, and dust billowed everywhere.

In the explosion, Leng Ran and Xiang Chaoyang disappeared from everyone's sight at the same time.

An old soldier gasped: "Ion cannon collision... hiss, they should both be out of the game by now..."

"The team leader hasn't made a move yet, so he shouldn't be eliminated yet! The competition isn't over!"

The heavy sword that Leng Ran had thrown earlier had reached its highest point and began to fall rapidly.

"A knife! Look at that knife!"

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, a figure leaped into the air and caught the falling heavy blade with remarkable stability!

It was truly indifferent!

On the other side, Xiang Chaoyang, who had been thrown out, quickly got up, drew the heavy knife from behind him, and became alert to the dangers around him.

Having suddenly lost Leng Ran's trail and without any commander to provide mental guidance, his mind was on edge. His eyes were constantly scanning the surrounding environment, searching for Leng Ran's possible hiding place.

"Are you looking for me?"

Upon hearing the sound, Xiang Chaoyang quickly looked up and saw a guard mech descending from the sky amidst a cloud of dust, raising a large, gleaming sword and lunging at him.

In the blink of an eye, the cold blade was already close to his cockpit!

Xiang Chaoyang immediately raised his knife to try and block the attack, but he was too late.

He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his hand holding the knife, and an irresistible force sent the knife flying from his hand!

The next second, the cold blade had already pierced through his cockpit!

"The game is over, my unknown friend."

The lights in Xiang Chaoyang's cockpit went out instantly, plunging him into complete darkness.

Anning's announcement rang out: "One side has been eliminated. This match is over."

After a brief silence, a cheer erupted from the audience: "Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!"

"That was a cool swordsmanship! Are you some senior? Could you please tell me your name?"

"Whose senior is so young? This must be a junior with exceptional talent!"

"Xiang Chaoyang isn't bad at close combat either. He should just go for it directly! Otherwise, his sword will be knocked away in the end."

"He can kick away a heavy sword with one kick. I can't even imagine how fierce this junior is in close combat."

"Good!" Wei Shenghuang clapped her hands. "Mo Li, I will keep my promise to you."

The new recruits and veterans started discussing it.

"Mo Li? That name sounds familiar... Where have I heard it before..."

Leng Ran jumped out of the cockpit, shook hands with Xiang Chaoyang who had also exited the cockpit, and then turned to look at Wei Shenghuang, who had stepped out of the Vulcan mecha and was walking down from the referee's seat.

"Commander, could you give us a brief introduction?"

Wei Shenghuang: "This is Mo Li, a student at Storm Military Academy."

Everyone suddenly realized: "Storm Military Academy, no wonder he's so strong. But the graduation standard for Storm Military Academy is to reach the master level in the sixth year, right? Is this Mo Li a fourth-year intern? An advanced mecha soldier?"

Wei Shenghuang rarely showed a smile. When Ouyang Mo introduced Mo Li, she was startled. She also wanted to give her soldiers a scare.

“I forgot to mention, Mo Li is indeed a student at Storm Military Academy, but he’s a first-year student.” She paused. “And today is his first time riding a mecha.”

An unprecedented silence fell over the audience.

"Huh? Does this even fall under the category of human beings?"

"First time? What human can pilot an advanced mech on their first time?"

"I remember who Mo Li is! He was the recipient of the Medal of Valor two years ago! He tore apart a C-rank monster with his bare hands!"

Leng Ran: ...It's not so much about tearing it apart by hand, it's mainly thanks to the sniper rifle Bahuang.

Now that you mention it, she realized she hadn't had a chance to get the Eight Desolations weapon and had almost forgotten about it!

But what's the use of taking it back? We certainly wouldn't dare to openly take it to the street to snipe people, and we wouldn't dare to bring it on missions with the Lingyun Army either, because it would be terrible if the Other Shore Flower recognized our identities.

Leng Ran's thoughts gradually drifted away, automatically ignoring the murmurs around her. Finally, she put her equipment back in the simulation training field and met up with Wei Shenghuang and Instructor Ouyang outside.

----------

Training Ground No. 2

Instructor Ouyang looked at Leng Ran with a gratified expression, which made Leng Ran feel a little uneasy.

Mo Li is getting more and more pleasing to the eye. How did Principal He manage to pick up such a son?

Previously, Storm Military Academy didn't pay much attention to recruiting students from unknown backgrounds, but now it seems that this recruitment policy needs to be changed.

Perhaps there are still many promising talents yet to be discovered?

"Mo Li, I've made up my mind. Starting today, you don't need to train with the freshmen anymore. Come here and train with Colonel Wei Sheng in mecha. I suggest you try out all the different models and choose the one that suits you best."

"Hmm? You've already sent me a student?" Wei Shenghuang changed the subject. "Xiao Mo, you can't take back the student you sent out yourself."

Leng Ran was indeed very envious of the mechs in the mech warehouse. Today's guard experience was pretty good. He wondered what it would be like to fly the other mechs.

Instructor Ouyang said unhurriedly, "Sister Huang, you can't take them with you. Look at the time, the garrison at the Anning Star branch base will be replaced soon, and according to the regulations, first-year students cannot leave the main base for more than one day."

Instead of getting angry, Wei Shenghuang laughed: "You've really messed with me. Fine, I like Mo Li, so I'll help you practice for half a month."

Instructor Ouyang: "Then thank you, Sister Huang. Which base has Nirvana been assigned to this time?"

Wei Shenghuang: "Number three, change shifts in half a month."

Instructor Ouyang laughed and said, "Oh, Mo Li, come here. For the next two weeks, you'll be following Colonel Wei Sheng around."

Leng Ran thanked him, saying, "Then please give me your guidance, Colonel Wei Sheng!"
