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

Upon hearing this, the soldiers who had previously died tragically at the hands of Wei Shenghuang cast hopeful glances at Leng Ran.

Mo Li was the strongest among them, and the one they all acknowledged as their backbone. If anyone could withstand even one move from Instructor Wei Sheng, it would undoubtedly be Mo Li!

Having just died once, Lu Tianyun, half-dead, suddenly jumped up: "Brother Li, help us get revenge!"

This sparked a huge wave of reactions, with individual soldiers starting to cheer for Leng Ran.

"Brother Li, you are the hope of our entire village!"

"Be brave and never give up, fear no difficulties! Charge!"

Yue Qiufeng took a seat in the spectator area early: "Ali, good luck. Little Pink supports you."

He Xiting said with relief, "Ali, Xiao Lü, oh no, your brother, I believe in you! What's that saying again... like brother, like brother!"

There was a two-second silence. The soldiers all glared at He Xiting: "Xiao Lü, take back what you said! Don't curse my brother Li!"

“Young people are so energetic,” Wei Shenghuang laughed. “Since your classmates think so highly of you, I’m going to give you a challenge.”

"In mirror mode, you select the model first, and I will choose the same mecha model as you, but it will be Hou-class."

Upon hearing this, the soldiers gasped in shock. Wei Shenghuang piloting a Master-level mech was already terrifying, but a Marquis-level... this meant they were serious.

Ai Anbang: "This... is a bit too difficult. Although Brother Li can pilot an advanced mecha, he's still two whole levels behind! Every level up a mecha represents a world of difference in skill and power. Back then, the Marquis-level Vulcan was capable of severing the energy circuits of S-class Void Beasts!"

Leng Ran showed no fear and readily agreed: "Okay, Instructor Wei Sheng, please guide me."

Wei Shenghuang praised, "Your courage is commendable. If you can last one minute against me, you will win and be rewarded with one hundred points."

Yu Jiu was shocked: "One minute... So far, the one who lasted the longest is Shao You, right? He lived for a full seven seconds!"

Shao You tapped Yu Jiu on the head unhappily: "Remove the last sentence. I, Shao Ye, also have my pride. But... Mo Li is so strong, maybe he really can last a minute."

The onlookers looked at Shao You in surprise. This young master used to be defiant and defiant, especially against Mo Li... Who would have thought that after returning from Anning Star, this young master had changed his ways?

Shao You awkwardly turned his head away: "Why are you looking at me? I'm just telling the truth."

Leng Ran and Wei Shenghuang entered the simulation pod together, with Leng Ran choosing her mech first. The other soldiers were already seated neatly in the spectator area, waiting for this exciting duel.

Lu Tianyun: "What mecha do you think Brother Li will choose? Instructor Weisheng is very good at mixed-use mechas, especially the Vulcan. Brother Li will probably avoid that, right?"

Yu Jiu added, "Why not just abandon all melee mechs and choose ranged ones, like Hou Yi's Sky Piercer?"

He Xiting was unusually clever for once: "No way. Sniper mechs emphasize range, charging speed, and energy reserves. The range of a Hou-level Houyi is ten times that of a high-level one. Low-level mechs won't even have a chance to get close before they're taken down."

Yue Qiufeng didn't speak, but he thought of Zhuiming. Perhaps A-Li would choose this type of assassin-like mecha?

Ai Anbang scratched his head: "So what else can we choose? This is really baffling."

Leng Ran had also considered the issues the soldiers were discussing outside. Her finger briefly lingered on the page about the Chasing Mech, but after thinking for a moment, she scrolled away.

One minute later, the mech that Leng Ran had chosen was displayed on the big screen.

The soldiers exclaimed in unison, "What?!"

Her chosen mech is—Guardian!

Shao You complained, "Mo Li is crazy. Why did he choose such a weak mecha?"

Yu Jiu suddenly understood the key point and slapped his thigh: "So that's how it is! A very wise choice!"

The reason why Leng Ran chose to guard was simple.

Regardless of the model she chooses, her mech will be crushed by the opponent due to the huge level difference. Furthermore, the more elaborate and powerful the mech's skills, the faster it will die. The only mech that can minimize the disadvantage caused by its level is the most basic "Guardian."

As the entry-level mech for countless people, the Guardian is equipped with only a heavy black sword on its back, rocket launchers on its shoulders, and small ion cannons on its arms.

Compared to Vulcan, who wields the heat-generating lightsaber "Blazing Sun," War God, who wields the cold-generating dual lightsabers "Heavenly Might," or Hou Yi, who wields the charged sniper rifle "Sun Shooting," or Falcon, who is equipped with the lightweight high-speed sniper rifle "Eagle Eye," the Guardian is far too plain and unadorned.

However, in this high-level matchup, the Guardian would undoubtedly minimize Leng Ran's disadvantage. Moreover, she was also eager to have a real, head-to-head battle with Wei Sheng Huang!

The time has come to test the basic function of the machine.

When Wei Shenghuang saw the guard automatically appear on her mecha interface, she understood: "This kid is quite clever. Let me see what you're capable of, Mo Li."

As Wei Shenghuang pressed the confirmation button, Storm's voice sounded precisely on time: "Both mechs have been selected, and we are drawing maps... Small Star System. The match will begin in three minutes, please prepare."

Lu Tianyun's eyes lit up: "Small star systems are like space battlefields, right? Once the pilot leaves the cockpit or the cockpit pressure becomes unbalanced, the game is immediately lost."

Ai Anbang added, "Yeah, and there's no gravity there, so the mechs are basically floating, which might make piloting them a bit difficult. He Xiting, you're family, after all. Has Brother Li ever been to a space battlefield before?"

He Xiting tilted his head: "No, I don't know, but I don't think so?"

Yu Jiu frowned: "That's troublesome. He might not be able to adapt to a weightless environment."

In a flash, Leng Ran found herself transported to a starship, where a high-ranking guard was waiting for her arrival in the center of the airship.

Using the ladder beside him, Leng Ran walked into the cockpit and skillfully connected various sensors. The guard's eyes suddenly lit up, and the mechanical voice of the mecha's AI started to play simultaneously.

"Hello driver, the guards are ready to strike at any time. We wish you a successful mission!"

She raised an eyebrow. None of the guards she had driven before had this line. She didn't expect the guards in the Storm Military Academy's simulation pod to be so humane.

The storm's notification sounded: "The competition is about to begin. Please prepare to disembark."

He gave a cool, handsome smile: "Guards, let's go!"
