Chapter 182: Trainwreck

Hua Qianhu stared in silence at the third and final challenger It looked like an average , with a stocky co’s, but of course the greater volume meant it’s speed suffered

A close combat rin on his face

Hua Qianhu was the second strongest of the three mecha students that had been chosen for this competition, inferior only to Xiao Han In fact, he’d already atterade test once already He’d only failed because he was lacking a little experience

Though a part of the co, his interests were never in the opposition or even his own team mates His primary desire was to do well, so that the school could earn e and thus more resources for development

After all he was very nearly set for life A student who reached Sovereign status before even graduating was going to have a bright future, be it with an important family, a business collective or the military

Hua Qianhu was no fool He knew precisely the strengths and limitations of his abilities He ell aware that the power he craved wasn’t going to come solely by his hard work alone There was talent and effort, sure, but contacts and resources were just as integral

Case in point were the power gems a mecha suit employed to run Expensive was an understatee pilot would be able to afford Luckily Hua Qianhu was a talented student, but he caely a result of his own efforts, in a place where the university was giving him accolades But even then, he still couldn’t raduating in a year Noas fighting tooth and nail with hile goal, all he wanted – to be a Sovereign-grade pilot

The conflict between Lir and the NEU was as old as the hills It was a good opportunity for hi, true, but that wouldn’tThat would mean it was hith and superiority He’d no longer be overshadowed

It was for these reasons that Hua Qianhu was taking this co his tactics The arena wasn’t the ths, but he had faith in his abilities As far as he’d seen, there was no danger of running in to a pilot that was his match

Xu Renjian’s own mood was, naturally, entirely contrary to his Lir counterpart The uessed Tan Lingyun’s strategy What he did not anticipate was that their best student would be eliminated so quickly There wasalso had to learn to better recognize opportunity, and the lack thereof

He’d anticipated Tang Mi’s defeat, truth be told But to lose in such a fashion, in front of the entire school, was a strike at the very heart of the university as a whole If they lost again this time, the effect on their future recruitled death of the entire school’s moral, students and teachers both

But this was the reality he found himself in What could he do? Who but he was at fault for their inferior learning in regards to Lir?

Within the arena, the fight had already begun

As this was the final bout, Hua Qianhu decided to switch up his strategy Immediately his cannon was aiy disturbance sizzled through the air as his weapon spooled

According to Hua Qianhu’s estimation, the one-thousand h for two good shots All he needed, was one solid hit

By noas supreood reason Within his kill zone, even Xiao Han wouldn’t dare get on his bad side

Tang Xiao began precisely how Geng Yang and Tang Mi before hiital voice called for the fight to begin, he was off in a flash of light
