The Wuji Mecha's speed was comparable to a shooting star!
The overcast clouds were scattered by its imposing aura, drawing a straight line.
The Thunderstorm Star did not lose momentum, charging forward at the same speed.
The two mechas met instantly, with "bang! clang!" two loud noises, and then pulled apart.
Wuji rapidly executed a 180° turn in the air and charged towards the Thunderstorm Star again.
The Thunderstorm Star quickly stopped its forward momentum, adjusted its posture, activated reverse thrusters, and charged upwards head-on.
Another instant clash!
This time, the two mechas collided heavily,
The Ultimate Desolation and the Slaughter Frenzy, two sharp blades, crossed and slashed at the Wuji greatshield!
Both mechas, almost simultaneously, activated their super-boosted propulsion,
Explosive flames jetted from behind the mechas!
In the air, the two sets of flames coalesced into a giant "butterfly"!
Gu Ya consistently held back his strength.
The Thunderstorm Star was the world's premier mecha; some of its internal components came from the future.
If it were truly a contest of mecha performance, Wuji's mecha would likely not measure up.
But Wuji's piloting skill absolutely surpassed his mecha's performance!
If he were piloting a mecha of the same model as the Thunderstorm Star, his terrifying strength would surely make Gu Ya feel challenged!
"Impressive speed and reaction!" Wuji praised.
"Likewise!" Gu Ya said with a grim smile.
"Clang!"
The Wuji Mecha used its shield to deflect the force of the two beam swords and immediately swung its greatsword, slashing towards the Thunderstorm Star's waist!
Gu Ya operated with calm speed, the Thunderstorm Star withdrawing its sword to block with even greater speed!
Suddenly, white beam ripples flashed on the greatsword!
Making the blade even wider!
The Thunderstorm Star rapidly retreated to create distance, firing three consecutive lightning net orbs from its high-pressure electric bow, followed by its right arm armor opening to unleash a torrent of thousands of beam rounds from dense gun barrels.
Wuji's speed was equally swift, using his greatshield to protect his body and block the long-range firepower.
Simultaneously, he accelerated and charged forward, swinging his sharp greatsword, slashing upwards from below!
The Thunderstorm Star once again drew its sword to parry, while the Ultimate Desolation unleashed the [Pure Extreme Stab]!
It was blocked again by the Wuji Mecha's shield!
The two sides engaged in dozens of rounds in the air, evenly matched.
Wuji, growing impatient, said, "Someone told me you are a Divine Power User. Is this all you've got?"
Gu Ya remained calm and said, "Of course not. I fear damaging your mecha would be disrespectful."
"Then why the wasted words! Use your strongest technique!" Wuji roared in anger.
Gu Ya smiled faintly and said, "You have no need to humiliate yourself."
These words thoroughly enraged Wuji.
The Wuji Mecha soared into the sky, blocking out the sun, and charged towards the Thunderstorm Star!
Wuji let out a great roar: "Strike Technique! Thunder Dragon!!"
"Desolation--!"
The Wuji Mecha instantly altered its armor's shape. The powerful air resistance actually released a roar like a dragon's cry!
The momentum was like an army of thousands clashing, or like ten thousand waves crashing ashore!
The powerful air resistance caused the Wuji Mecha to fly in an unpredictable curved trajectory.
Airflow enveloped the mecha's body, and the imposing sonic boom umbrella pulled the cloud layer into its wake.
It truly resembled a giant dragon descending from the clouds!
Gu Ya watched with rapturous admiration, exclaiming in his heart, "Beautiful as a painting!"
A massive air mass instantly engulfed the Thunderstorm Star.
The Wuji Mecha flew past rapidly, then slowly decelerated and hovered.
When he looked back, the Thunderstorm Star was holding its greatsword in its hand!
And Wuji was left holding only his greatshield.
Who was stronger was beyond doubt.
The Thunderstorm Star flew over at a steady pace and handed the greatsword back to the Wuji Mecha.
Gu Ya said, "Your skill is second to none, comparable to the Immortal Xia War God. It is a rare honor to have you as a comrade."
Wuji finally set aside his arrogance and affirmed, "Gu Ya, you live up to your reputation."
"Would you care to return to the city and rest for a while?"
Half an hour later,
Gu Ya returned to the Starfall Tower in Shan Hai City with Wuji, who was clad in black clothes and a black helmet.
They briefly rested in the private lounge of Zhan Huo · Ji.
Wuji stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the sea.
His posture was tall and slender, with an almost delicate aura.
Beneath his black cloak, he had long, slender legs like broomsticks.
His slender waist was even thinner than Ye Ying's.
His voice was filled with a masculine magnetism, very pleasant to hear.
What also surprised Gu Ya was that his entire attire was exceptionally clean, just like his mecha.
Old yet tidy, it exuded a feeling of retro count-like elegance.
It was hard to imagine a guerrilla soldier who lived in the wild having mysophobia.
At this moment, only Gu Ya and Wuji were in the room, and with Shan Hai City built by the sea, the air was warm and humid.
Soon, Gu Ya started to sweat from the heat and unbuttoned his collar.
Wuji felt the same. He hesitated for a long time before slowly saying, "Um... could you please turn your head away?"
"What?" Gu Ya asked, somewhat puzzled.
Wuji confessed, "I don't wish to show my true face."
Gu Ya nodded and reluctantly turned to sit on the chair.
Soon, the faint sound of Wuji taking off his helmet and cloak came from behind.
"It will only take a moment..." Wuji murmured.
Gu Ya's mind raced, wondering what kind of face would be inconvenient to show.
Could his face be disfigured for some reason?
His exquisite figure, masculine voice, mysophobia, and his solitary, mysterious personality made it impossible not to be curious about his appearance.
Gu Ya gently spun his chair around to look at Wuji.
He saw Wuji had a head of soft, naturally curly black hair, fair skin, and a long, slender neck with distinct veins.
His face, compared to Xian Wang Chuan, was even more so;
Xian Wang Chuan possessed the appearance of an absolute beautiful strong woman, while Wuji truly had a feminine softness.
It reminded Gu Ya of a historical figure from his original world: Lanling King.
Similarly possessing a gentle appearance with a strong heart and a beautiful voice and demeanor, he was an invincible general.
No wonder Wuji didn't want to show his true face!
With such a face, no man would see it and not be captivated!
Wuji gazed at the vast blue sea and said softly, "You broke your promise."
Gu Ya smiled faintly, casually summoned a half-face mask with black cat ears, and tossed it to Wuji.
"Black suits you perfectly."
Wuji, without turning his head, raised his hand and steadily caught the mask, putting it on.
This only made his appearance even more mysteriously beautiful.
Just then, the door was pushed open, and Ye Ying entered with tea and snacks.
Gu Ya and Wuji turned to look simultaneously.
Ye Ying was startled,
Unable to believe such astonishing beauty existed in the world.
Ye Ying quickly scanned Wuji's entire body before letting out a sigh of relief, though she remained worried.
Even knowing he was a man, with such a face and figure, it was hard not to be swayed.
Gu Ya quickly stepped forward, took the tea and snacks from Ye Ying, winked at her, and whispered, "I know what you're thinking, my dear. Rest assured, besides you, I'm not interested in anyone else."
"Haaahh--!" Wang Shang walked in, yawning heavily.
Upon seeing Wuji, he forgot to even wipe the drool from his lips!
"Ahem!" Gu Ya cleared his throat loudly and said, "Master! Summon everyone."
"We need to discuss future plans."
Wang Shang hastily turned around, but his eyes never left Wuji.
In less than ten minutes, the entire group of friends and family had gathered in the not-so-spacious lounge.
Of course, everyone was drawn by Wang Shang's description and wanted to witness Wuji's peerless beauty firsthand!
Wuji did not disappoint, successfully capturing everyone's attention.
Gu Ya's words were barely audible.
Ning Yu propped her chin on her hand, gazing at Wuji dazedly, and said, "If I had this kind of face, I wouldn't even want to be a Divine Power User..."
"Hey!!"
Gu Ya's cold reminder finally brought everyone's attention back.
"I plan to release the intelligence I have on the Black Star military to the whole world!"
"Mhm, mhm!" Wang Shang nodded while looking at Wuji,
But then he immediately turned to Gu Ya, asking in alarm, "What did you say?"
Liang Yu Wei carefully pondered Gu Ya's words before nodding and chuckling, "A proactive strike! This intelligence is as significant as any war!"
"Exactly!" Gu Ya said. "Disrupt all of Black Star's plans. Stir up the world and ignite a global wave of resistance against Black Star!"
