"What's going on! What exactly happened?!" the host's high-pitched, questioning shouts echoed across the entire arena.
All the audience members looked at Gu Ya's new model mecha with surprise!
"A mecha with absolutely no information suddenly appeared on the field!"
"What dark technology did Jude use!!!"
Chang Lang readjusted the posture of the Pure White Knight and looked intently, immediately feeling something was wrong.
This was supposed to be a battle without any suspense,
But the kid opposite, using some unknown method, had a mecha with exposed internal tubing and bones, like a skeleton without flesh,
Within seconds, it was bizarrely assembled with a complete set of new armor, and he was holding a giant shotgun!
"This kid is not simple!" Chang Lang shouted through the communicator.
On the other end of the communicator, Ling Ling calmly said, "Don't let your opponent disrupt your rhythm. His piloting skills might not be superior to yours!"
"Got it!" Chang Lang, after Ling Ling's reminder, readjusted his mindset.
Yes, I am the champion. All opponents are like weaklings in front of me.
Chang Lang's eyes were no longer confused. No matter what novel technology the opponent used,
He would win this battle!
The Pure White Knight reactivated its high-power rear thrusters, raised its long sword, and charged forward, its speed more ferocious and its movements more skilled.
On Gu Ya's side, he had already upgraded to a senior mecha mechanic,
His [Advanced Piloting] ability was even more formidable.
With a quick simulation, he could master its operation.
Seeing the Pure White Knight charging with its sword, Gu Ya calmly put away the shotgun. If you want to play close combat, I'll accompany you.
Suddenly, the Fierce Crocodile mecha drew a long spear from its back, its tip sharp, its edge fully displayed.
It swung the spear horizontally, and the sword and spear clashed, sparking countless fires.
Let me show you this move again!
The Fierce Crocodile feinted with its left hand, pointing the spear directly at the enemy's head.
The Pure White Knight retreated, holding its sword to block.
The Fierce Crocodile suddenly leaped up, drew its shotgun with its right hand, and activated [Weakness Diagnosis] simultaneously, aiming at the Pure White Knight's left arm and pulling the trigger.
Countless iron pellets shot out, instantly shattering the Pure White Knight's left arm armor, revealing its internal skeleton.
The Fierce Crocodile retracted its shotgun and thrust forward rapidly with both hands, its movements extremely fast, its spear tip leaving afterimages.
The Pure White Knight's chest, shoulder, and leg armor instantly developed numerous cracks from the thrusts.
"So strong!" Chang Lang was stunned.
Ling Ling's cold, beautiful face revealed a hint of displeasure.
What was Chang Lang doing? Such moves should have been child's play for him, easy to dodge!
Gu Ya pursued the advantage, continuing to thrust with the spear, his movements having no pattern but each strike being fatal, leaving the Pure White Knight unable to retaliate.
After one round of combat, the Pure White Knight's system issued an alert: its entire armor had as many as 83 scars!
"Ling Ling!" Chang Lang shouted, immediately retreating to a safe distance, out of Gu Ya's attack range.
"Jude has invited reinforcements, and his strength has greatly increased. Where are your reinforcements?" Chang Lang continued.
Ling Ling's face darkened, suppressing her anger, she said, "Truly spineless. After so much training, you're actually being beaten by an unknown person to the point of being unable to retaliate!"
"You've shamed the entire He Cheng Society!"
During the few seconds they were talking, Gu Ya transformed into the Grim Reaper and flew over rapidly.
Seeing Chang Lang in an absolute disadvantage, Ling Ling stood up, lowered her head, and said to Gu Youyou, "Little friend, it's your turn to appear."
Unexpectedly, Gu Youyou didn't comply, saying proudly, "No!"
Ling Ling chuckled in disbelief and waved her hand at the two burly men behind her. The two men immediately grabbed Gu Youyou and lifted her high up.
At the same time, Ling Ling shouted into the communicator, "Jude! Your sister is in my hands!"
Ling Ling's soft voice suddenly came from the Pure White Knight's external speaker. Gu Ya was startled and simultaneously activated the mecha's search system.
The Fierce Crocodile's display screen rapidly zoomed in. In the distant spectator stands, Gu Youyou was being held by both arms by two burly men and lifted high up.
Gu Youyou struggled fiercely, her eyes filled with anger, yelling curses.
Gu Ya decisively abandoned the Pure White Knight and flew towards Gu Youyou.
"Youyou!!!" Gu Ya's eyes were red with anger.
Damn Ling Ling! I considered you a "good person" and engaged in a fair duel with your mecha!
Who knew you'd play dirty behind my back!
No wonder Wang Panpan looked hesitant earlier. It turns out Youyou was no longer with him!
Gu Ya charged to Gu Youyou's side, opened the cockpit, glared at Ling Ling, and said in an extremely furious tone, "Let go of my sister!"
Ling Ling smiled slightly and said slowly, "I promise, as long as you surrender, I will let your sister go."
Gu Youyou shouted, "Brother! Don't worry about me! I'm not afraid! Defeat them!"
Ling Ling raised her hand slightly, and the two burly men increased their grip, causing Gu Youyou to cry out in pain.
Gu Ya became even more enraged, wishing he could pull out a gun and kill Ling Ling!
Gu Youyou shouted, "Brother! Go defeat them!"
At this moment, the fierce killing intent of the Pure White Knight accompanied by a deafening roar came from behind!
Gu Ya cursed, "Shameless!"
He immediately closed the cockpit and turned to block with his spear. However, the Pure White Knight's strength was so immense that its beam sword cleaved through the thick shoulder armor!
The Pure White Knight showed no mercy, drawing its mecha pistol. Sword and gun combined, bullets and sword edge striking simultaneously!
With two loud bangs, the Fierce Crocodile's chest armor cracked, revealing the cockpit.
Chang Lang shouted, "Jude! You've lost!"
At the same time, he raised his sword and aimed directly at the cockpit, intending to stab Gu Ya to death inside.
"Brother!!!" Gu Youyou's terrified scream echoed throughout the arena.
In less than a second, Gu Ya, like a phantom, dodged the sword edge and rapidly circled behind the Pure White Knight.
"Your He Cheng Society is truly the epitome of shamelessness!"
Before the Pure White Knight could adjust its posture, the Fierce Crocodile's giant spear thrust forward, directly piercing the Pure White Knight's rear thruster.
It wasn't over yet!
Gu Ya activated his [Adrenaline Burst] skill, and his operational speed increased!
Another round of spear thrusts, countless spear tips like a barrage of shotgun pellets, relentlessly striking the Pure White Knight's rear armor.
That thick armor was being pierced and knocked off piece by piece, like building blocks!
It wasn't over yet!
The Fierce Crocodile took out its shotgun again, "Switch to beam energy projectile mode! Push the output power to maximum!"
"Alert: Mecha components are in overload state!"
"To hell with overload! Fire!" Gu Ya's eyes were only red.
A bright white light sphere gathered at the muzzle of the shotgun, and instantly, a beam energy projectile was fired. The immense energy directly exploded the Pure White Knight's rear armor.
The cockpit was exposed from the back!
Chang Lang was stunned by the intense and swift impact. As he was dazed, a blinding white sunlight shone in from behind.
His cockpit was actually torn open by the Fierce Crocodile!
Just as Gu Ya was preparing to punch Chang Lang to death with the Fierce Crocodile,
Ling Ling shouted in time, "Stop! I surrender!!! He Cheng Society surrenders!!!"
The Fierce Crocodile's iron fist stopped outside the cockpit.
Gu Ya gasped, shouting angrily, "Surrender? You're too naive! I won't let anyone who hurts my sister go!"
Ling Ling lowered her voice and quickly said, "Gu Ya, I know about your and Gu Youyou's mysterious past. Let Chang Lang go, and He Cheng Society will not treat you siblings poorly!"
Gu Ya was surprised, "What?" How did she know my real name?
Seeing that her persuasion was effective, Ling Ling quickly added, "Gu Ya, I know you came to the mecha bounty wars to save Gu Youyou!"
"I rescued your sister from the Crocodile Dao Alliance, and only wanted to use her as a chip to force you to forfeit the match."
"That's all, nothing else!"
"Gu Ya! I surrender. The money and fame are all yours, and I'll return your sister."
"I only beg you, let Chang Lang go!"
Gu Ya looked up through the display screen at Ling Ling. On her cold, beautiful face, a sincere expression appeared.
However, her image in Gu Ya's mind had changed.
This woman who was good at disguising, her words couldn't be fully trusted.
But it was disadvantageous that Gu Youyou was still in her hands. If Gu Ya really killed Chang Lang, and she retaliated in a mutually destructive way, harming Gu Youyou would be disastrous!
Gu Ya truly hated her to the point of grinding his teeth, wishing he could kill her too!
But after calmly weighing the pros and cons, Gu Ya made a difficult decision.
"I can let Chang Lang go, but while his life is spared, he will not escape punishment!"
After saying that, the Fierce Crocodile pinned the Pure White Knight to the ground, raised its spear, and swung it down four times at the Pure White Knight's limbs!
The scarred Pure White Knight was torn apart under the sharp spear edge!
The entire arena fell silent!
All the spectators stared with wide eyes at this dramatic scene.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Not a single sound.
Suddenly, the host's excited, high-pitched, and exaggerated voice came!
"The unarmored Jude defeats the Pure White Knight Chang Lang!!!"
"Who said this bounty war had no viewing appeal!"
"I declare! This is the most exciting battle of my career, bar none!!!"
"The unarmored Jude! Wins the one million bounty prize!!!"
The entire stadium erupted in thunderous cheers!
Countless people from the slums cheered and raised their fists.
Everyone in the junkyard shed tears of excitement.
Amidst the countless shouts and cheers,
Gu Ya walked out of the mecha, reached out, took Gu Youyou's hand, and held her tightly in his arms.
"Brother!" Gu Youyou buried her head in Gu Ya's embrace, her tears quickly soaking his clothes.
"Youyou! Brother didn't lie to you, brother did it! I saved you with the one million bounty!" Gu Ya said gently, his eyes also filled with tears.
Ling Ling dismissed the two burly men in front of her and walked up to Gu Ya.
There was no anger on her face from losing the match; instead, she had a casual smile and said, "Alright, little victor! You've reached your goal."
"Now, let's talk about your past!"
