Qin Yue swept his gaze across the screens. All of them displayed the rules of the competition and various matters to take note of. However, the most important ones were the first two and the fourth rule, which caught Qin Yue’s attention.
The first rule was about random opponent selection. In other words, it was unclear whether the matched opponent was strong or weak. It was a reckless move if one chose it since they would know nothing about their opponents. Only those who were conceited about their strength would choose this method.
The second was more sensible. It would not cause too big of a deviation in strength for ordinary students. Qin Yue was also more inclined towards that rule.
As for the fourth, it simulated various natural environments in reality and integrated them all into one large area.
One had to know that in a battle, those who could skillfully use the surrounding environment would have their combat strength multiplied. For example, when Qin Yue and the others fought the Three-headed Sandworm, the sandworms had used the surrounding desert environment to make it impossible for Qin Yue and the others to guard against its attacks.
If Qin Yue had not risked his life on a gamble, perhaps they would have been the ones to lose their lives.
At that moment, Wang Yangming suddenly looked at Qin Yue and the others and asked.
“How is it? Choosing an opponent randomly or choosing a battle environment. Which one are you guys going to use?”
Ling Ru, Wang Jun, Li Yanyan, and Tang Lin did not answer.
He then subconsciously looked at Qin Yue, the backbone of the squad, hoping that he could make a decision.
“Teacher, do you know what the rank of Wright Academy Is?”
With just that short sentence, Wang Yangming instantly understood what Qin Yue meant, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
“Wright Academy is ranked 16th. It’s alright for you to choose the Wright Academy as your opponents, but don’t underestimate them just because of that.”
Wang Yangming’s tone was heavy as he explained.
“Although their character isn’t that great, the students that they recruited this year are all very talented. In addition to the resources that their academy has, their strength is not to be underestimated.”
“Also, you must remember that when you are in the arena, regardless of whether your opponents are strong or weak, you must all go all out!”
“Understood, teacher!” The five people replied in unison.
Qin Yue immediately chose Wright Academy as their first opponent through the tablet given out by the competition staff.
At the same time, the Tablet of Wright Academy also received the news that Qin Yue’s squad had become their opponent.
The five Wright students in their yellow battle uniforms immediately burst out laughing.
“PFFT, they dare to fight us?”
The captain of the five, Reed, laughed loudly and followed closely behind. The other few people also followed suit and started shouting.
“We originally wanted to challenge the academy ranked 15th, but who would have thought that someone would challenge us in advance, and a bunch of trashy apes at that.”
“Isn’t this perfect? Won’t that mean our first battle will be an easy victory?”
“The challenger’s too much of a hothead!”
Frey could not help but also look at Wang Yangming and mock him after he heard his students ridicule their opponents.
“Senior Wang Yangming, my students this year are all capable of fighting a Plague-level Alien Beast alone. I’m afraid your guys don’t stand a chance.”
“I’m really sorry. You’re going to lose to our Wright Academy again.”
Wang Yangming raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth revealed a hint of an unbridled smile.
“A Plague-level Alien Beast? Then your guys are really formidable.”
“These five students of mine are far inferior to your students. After killing a Catastrophe-level Alien Beast in the Desolate Star Trial last month, they encountered interstellar pirates and killed them, obtaining a Military-grade mecha and four Guardian-grade mecha in the process.”
As soon as Wang Yangming finished, the expressions of the people from Wright Academy froze for a moment. They even attracted the gazes of the surrounding academies.
But very quickly, Frey immediately reacted.
“Haha, Senior Wang Yangming is already so old. Aren’t you afraid of blowing your own trumpet? My five students can only withstand a Catastrophe-grade Alien Beast. The battle results you mentioned can only be achieved by the top 10 Mecha Academies but… Your academy is only ranked 19th, right?”
When Reed and the other three from Wright Academy heard Frey’s words, the frozen expressions on their faces instantly became relieved.
It made them nervous for a long time. So their instructor was just boasting!
“Whether it’s true or not, we will use our fists to tell you personally on the field later!”
Qin Yue raised her fist slightly, and her cold gaze swept across the people from Wright Academy.
It was also at that moment that the referee’s voice rang out on the stage.
“The competition will begin in five minutes. All participants, please enter your mecha and pilot them to the competition grounds.”
Upon hearing that, Frey did not follow Wang Yangming. He led Reed and the others out of the preparation room. However, when they walked out, they still muttered to themselves. They had not known what to say.
Hearing that the competition was about to begin, Wang Yangming followed closely behind, bringing Qin Yue and the others out of the preparation room.
In Wang Yangming’s heart, Qin Yue and the others should have no problems dealing with Frey’s students. However, after defeating Wright Academy, it was hard to say exactly how far they would be able to go!
Five minutes later, the match began.
At that moment, Qin Yue and the others piloted their mecha to an open plain area.
Three hundred meters away, the five people from Wright Academy were also seen in their respective mecha.
“Captain Reed, what’s our strategy?”
“What strategy? Didn’t you hear what teacher Frey said? Their Academy has been defeated by ours for a few consecutive years. Their students’ strength is getting worse and worse each year. We can just charge in and beat them up.”
“Hehe, this method is not bad. It’s most suitable for beating up noobs.”
At that moment, Captain Reed spoke, “Of course there’s a strategy, but it is very simple. Just rush in and end the battle quickly!”
At this moment, among the audience stands…
“Haha, it seems that the Wright Academy and K10 academy are entangled with each other again this year?”
“Yeah, it’s already been like this for a few consecutive years. There’s no need to make a fuss about it. Moreover, K10 Academy is getting weaker year by year. The victory will be Wright Academy’s as usual. There’s nothing to see. It’s better to watch the battle between Berserk Dragon Academy and Ruler Academy.”
“K10 Academy has been defeated by Wright Academy for a few consecutive years. If they win, I’ll run around naked!”
On the other side, Wang Yangming and Frey also came to the audience seats.
“Senior Wang Yangming, you’re already so old. Why did you come out to personally lead the squad? Don’t have a heart attack if you lose later!” Frey said with a chuckle.
“You should worry about whether your students will lose or not. That might leave an incurable psychological scar on all of you!” Wang Yangming replied calmly.
“Haha, us? Lose? Hahaha!” Frey laughed wildly as if he had heard a joke.
At the same time, in the battle zone.
Qin Yue was not very clear about the specific strength of his opponents. However, Qin Yue had always believed in himself and his squadmates regardless of whether he could win or not.
After all, with the rich combat experience and all kinds of combat knowledge that he had imparted to them, the four of them could fight those of higher rank. If their Mental Strength was high enough, it would be even easier to do so.
Bang! Bang!
Right at that moment, Reed and the other three charged forward with their Wolf Beam Blades in hand. With every step that the tall mecha took, the plains under their feet would produce a huge muffled sound.
“Fight on your own. After splitting up their formation, break them!”
Reed shouted out in excitement. His excited expression was like that of a hungry wolf that had encountered some sheep.
“There’s no need to use your ranged weapons on them. Just fight them head-on.”
“This will allow you guys to truly display the results of your training over the past month and the modifications to your mechas!”
Qin Yue stopped Tang Lin’s idea of covering the area with cannon fire. He wanted to have a direct exchange of blows and test out the abilities of Reed and the other three. Only then would he be able to come up with a strategy.
He then led the four of them into a triangular formation and rushed forward at lightning speed..
