Mysterious journey

Bailey shook his head.

"No matter how powerful your individual martial arts is, you can't compete with the worst model of mecha. The strongest martial artist in the Home Star Federation is Master Cheng Xingyao more than two hundred years ago. It is said that he can cut off boulders with one palm and kill a rhinoceros with one punch. Elephant. The body is comparable to a second-level mutant radiation creature, but this is the limit that humans can reach by using various means. A second-level creature can be easily killed by only a second-level pilot piloting a mecha. And Two level two mechas can kill level three creatures, and Master Cheng Xingyao died at the claws of a level three mutant creature."

What he said was clear and clear, without any concealment and aboveboard. Many students and Eagle Nest members around him heard it and showed their approval. There was a burst of discussion outside the stadium. Apparently Bailey's topic also aroused everyone's interest in the degree of coordination and balance between mecha and physical exercise.

Bailey looked at Garen sincerely.

"I would like to advise you that the power of a pilot lies in the mecha. High-level mechas can destroy the world, and only high-level pilots can meet the driving requirements. With each higher level, the improvement of the mecha is far beyond the human body. Not to mention that if the human body does not exercise for a day, the body will stagnate and degenerate. Think about it carefully."

He turned around, jumped off the stage, put on his clothes, and walked out of the arena with his companions.

Garen didn't say much from beginning to end, just listened quietly.

He knew that the other party had good intentions. The students from the Eagle Nest were all practicing Eagle Claws. In the eyes of outsiders, they were all naturally in the same group. The other party obviously wanted him to figure this problem out.

But how do they know that his level of consciousness is actually raised entirely by the secret martial arts of life. If he gives up the secret martial arts and gives up on his own development, his consciousness will directly stagnate. If he wants to make progress, he may need to Decades of time.

"Unless you can compete with the mecha, no matter how powerful the human body is, it will be futile." When Garen jumped off the field, Sophia advised.

Anji Tielin nodded in agreement.

Garen was silent for a moment.

"Can you let me see the real gap?"

The two looked at each other.

"I'll do it." Sofia nodded. Her performance on the field had already shown that Nonosiwa was a top talent comparable to elite students. He could reach the third level of consciousness in just his sophomore year, which was enough for her to actively invest.

"follow me."

***********

half an hour later

The three of them came to the simulated battle area of ​​the Eagle's Nest, surrounded by a crowd of watching Eagle's Nest students.

Simulated battle net cabins are arranged side by side in this area, with every two facing each other. It is obviously a dedicated place for simulated decisive battles.

"This is the place where decisive battles are usually held. Come on up. The simulated battle does not cost money and is the safest way." Sophia introduced, being the first to lie down and enter the cockpit on the right.

Garen also entered the cockpit on the left hand side.

Close your eyes and place the nerve connection device firmly on your head.

Uh-huh!

Everything was pitch black before his eyes, and a line of white text suddenly flashed out.

'Welcome to the Eagle's Nest Arena. Please type in your name. ’

"Nonosiwa." Garen replied in a low voice.

‘Name confirmed, ranking unknown, please wait, the scene is being initialized.’ The text changed and then disappeared suddenly.

After a while, Galen's eyes suddenly lit up. After his eyes got used to the somewhat dazzling light, he saw the scene around him.

He is standing in a huge and wide silver-white hall. The floor is smooth and flat, all made of alloy. On the right is a black wall with a huge black sword and shield metal logo. On the left is an equally huge glass floor-to-ceiling window, which can see outside. There was a dim yellow sky, and black airship battleships flying slowly in the sky.

‘The virtual scene is completed and the mecha selection begins. ’ A mechanical and electronic sound sounded from all around.

Garen moved his body and saw a square light screen flashing in front of him, with miniatures of mechas floating on it.

There are all mechas from level one to level five, but because of his level of consciousness, he can only choose mechas of level three and below. Pressing directly to the level 3 mecha screen, Garen began to examine it carefully.

Soon a mecha that suited his wishes appeared in front of him.

‘Wings of Freedom: Level 3 mecha enhanced type, the Erlan Army’s standard mecha, with level 3 firepower, level 3 speed, level 2 defense, and level 2 power. Special device skill: Heart of Freedom, maximum speed burst in a short time, speed increase by one level. After use, the power decreases by one level for ten seconds. ’

This mecha is covered in dark blue, and looks like a slender knight holding a dragon spear. It wears a sharp hat, with only the nose and mouth below the eyes exposed. Gives people a mysterious feeling.

Click on the Wings of Freedom pattern. In an instant, Garen felt the surroundings of his body change. In just a blink of an eye, he was already sitting inside a dark blue cabin. In front of him is a circular light screen, which can display the surrounding environment outside.

There are many faint lines and indicator lights on the surrounding dark blue walls that connect the cabins.

"Have you chosen? Wings of Freedom?" A dark red mecha suddenly appeared on the opposite field. It was also in human form, but she held two red cross swords in her hands, which were lightly overlapped and crossed, making a crisp sound. . There was nothing surprising about that mecha, it just gave people a very ordinary and sparse feeling.

"Mine is the lowest level five mecha, Red Fish." Sophia introduced. "I deliberately chose the lowest level of mecha, Level 5, just to show you how terrifying the difference in consciousness levels will be in mecha control."

Garen did not answer, but quietly controlled the mecha to move its limbs.

"Start?" Red Fish raised a cross sword.

"Okay." Garen responded.

"Be careful, what I'm going to use next is the most common sprint cross slash of the Red Fish Mecha. This is a basic technique that any fifth-level pilot will use." Sophia pointed out her next move responsibly.

"Understood, senior sister, just come." Garen arched his body, and his third-level consciousness allowed him to control the mecha freely without Yueya's help. He was slightly surprised by the flexibility, speed, reaction, and strength of the level three mecha. This level three mecha was equivalent to the superposition of two level one mechas. This is not one plus one equals two. As a result, in actual combat, this level can achieve a strong record of one against ten.

"Be careful!" Sophia warned again. "Charge Cross Slash!"

The legs of the red fish mecha suddenly lit up with red light, and the two swords were placed beside the body, forming a figure eight.

coax! !

The huge engine started up and exploded, and the red fish mecha exploded at an instant speed that actually spanned hundreds of meters. The two swords swung forward and shot a red cross star in the air.

This speed has far surpassed that of the third-level mecha. It spanned a hundred meters in an instant and sprinted in front of the Garen mecha. Such a terrifying explosive power left Garen with no time to react when operating the mecha with his consciousness. He could only barely lift the spear and stand it upright. forward, trying to pierce the opponent with the inertia of the opponent's sprint.

The time was too short, and he could only do this.

But what Garen didn't expect was that the Red Fish mecha could actually make fine adjustments during such an explosive high-speed sprint. She just moved her body slightly to the left, just in time to hold the spear under her arm, letting it pass through, and struck hard on the Wings of Freedom fuselage with the cross sword in her hand.

Although Garen had already unleashed Wings of Freedom's Heart of Freedom ability at high speed, his speed was still far behind. In an instant, he was hit in the head and chest by a cross sword.

Suddenly everything went dark, boom! Then whatever poison was around disappeared, leaving only complete darkness.

‘Pilot Sophia wins! 'The electronic sound sounded again.

puff.

The cockpit ejects automatically.

Garen stood up and walked out. Sofia had already come out first and looked at him quietly. The students who came with him were also around, including Anji Tielin. The students were whispering, but Anji Tielin looked unsurprised.

"How's it going? Do you feel the difference?" Sophia asked softly. "My own consciousness is only level three, but by using the permission modification, I can control level five mechas. Although it is the lowest level, you can almost feel the gap between mecha levels. I was once like you, and was... Taiwan’s Level 4 mecha has been tortured like this.”

"Why is the gap so big?" Garen recalled the moment just now and knew that the gap between the mechas was far greater than he imagined.

"This is the most powerful point of the consciousness mecha. The built-in variable speed system can accelerate the pilot's own nerve speed. This acceleration will continue to strengthen as the pilot's consciousness level increases. In the pilot's In the eyes, the accelerated world is like an extremely slow world. All movements that cannot reach a certain speed can only be the most ordinary slow motion, just like watching a movie in slow motion." Sophia explained.

"This is just a general level. Senior pilots can even control the mecha to release a force field. If the mecha does not meet the strength standard, it will not even be able to get close." Anji Tielin said with emotion, "It's like magnetization Force fields, powerful magnetic fields will affect the body balance of pilots and mechas. Unless they are non-metallic mechas, they cannot even get close. They can only be attacked from a distance by the opponent. There is also a reflective force field, which is the latest white light organization What he is good at is said to be able to instantly reflect back any attack from a mecha below his level, no matter how strong it is. He is simply an invincible torture machine!"

Garen frowned deeply. The gap between consciousness levels can actually be expanded to this point through the amplification of the mecha. It has to be said that he still underestimated the horror of the consciousness mecha.

"It seems that only mechas can deal with mechas. Unless the secret weapon has reached the pinnacle of the Legion or Demon King level, the pure destructive power is still not as terrifying as mechas." Garon finally had a clear positioning on the level of mechas.

He had indeed used all his strength just now, and no matter how strong his body was, facing a mecha attack, unless it reached a very high level, the force of that slash would not be something that his body could withstand at all, and there would be at least hundreds of tons of impact. Power, this is only calculating the pure power of the mecha, and does not calculate the damage caused by consciousness. .
