After finishing the Love Night, Ma Long's mood recovered and he felt energized. He told Sheng Man about his current situation, feeling a lot of pressure. He started to doubt if he was the one holding them back.
"Whatever, it's just a losing streak. We can turn it around with a winning streak. Here, I'll accompany you!" Sheng Man took off her high heels and threw them aside.
Ma Long nodded and returned to the cockpit. There was no use overthinking, he just had to do it.
Sheng Man looked at Ma Long and noticed a significant change in him. He wasn't as cheeky as before and didn't try to argue. In the past, he would always find excuses at this time, but now he actually thought there was something wrong with himself.
Resting her chin on her hand, Sheng Man looked at Ma Long's serious face in the cockpit and suddenly felt that this guy was really handsome.
Ma Long checked his score and felt determined. Damn it, even his goddess of victory had arrived. It was time for his luck to turn around.
Ma Long entered the ranking match. It wasn't just Ma Long who encountered this problem, the situation had really changed. Ever since USE introduced this temporary rule, the Earth's eliminated academies immediately fought back like they were injected with chicken blood. Especially those who were eliminated for various reasons but believed they could enter the mid-season tournament, they definitely felt aggrieved. Originally, this ranking match was meant to train the mecha pilots, but now everyone used their best mecha, treating it like a real competition. Not only that, some top experts from other federations also joined in, like sharks smelling blood. Ma Long was not the only one complaining.
Zhuang Zhou was also live streaming. His main focus was on the mid-season tournament participants. Of course, his current viewership was still far from Fire Man's, but Zhuang Zhou didn't mind. It was just a hobby.
In his friend list, Zhuang Zhou looked around and hesitated when he saw Ma Long enter the match. He checked his record and thought, this guy is in a sorry state, always losing. It's about time his luck turned around. The system shouldn't always target one person.
"Let's take a look at a ranking match of the Tianjing team. Ma Long, sophomore, Starship major, the visual representative of our team." Zhuang Zhou introduced.
Surprisingly, Ma Long's face was really representative and he looked especially good on camera. As an experienced driver, he only showed a side profile, which was quite impactful.
Sheng Man also opened Sky Message's live stream and saw Ma Long on camera. He was naturally suited for this kind of scene.
But Ma Long wasn't as happy as he seemed. His opponent turned out to be a Mars warrior.
Ma Long vs. Ge Lu - Tianjing Mecha Martial vs. Tornado Zero
Ma Long directly activated Tornado Zero, while Ge Lu chose the Centaur Fighter.
The Centaur Fighter loved to fight in medium and light mecha. Unless they were top experts, no one would let their opponent choose the battlefield. Each mecha had different combat environments, and whoever chose the environment would have the advantage. The two sides were randomly placed into the Kepler Jungle.
Two mobile warriors descended into the Kepler Jungle. Ma Long took a deep breath, gripping his laser gun tightly and activating his radar. In this one-on-one environment, they would encounter each other soon. Ma Long hoped to gain an advantage first. This environment was good for him, at least it wasn't a plain terrain that would fully unleash the Centaur Fighter's mobility.
The idea was good. Ma Long, who was very reckless in real life, was the most stable one in EMP. But just as he thought that, a loud boom sounded. The Centaur Fighter had already charged in his direction, and laser beams cut through the peaceful Kepler world.
Ma Long retaliated with his laser, and the two sides exchanged fire. However, it didn't pose much of a hindrance to the Centaur Fighter. In fact, this kind of operation made the opponent feel the fear in Ma Long's heart, fearing close combat.
It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread dot com".
"Ah ah ah, kill!" Ge Lu shouted excitedly. His opponent was a participant in the USE mid-season tournament, making the kill even more thrilling.
Ma Long continued to bombard, and although the Centaur Fighter's jumping strafing wasn't very accurate, it still caused suppression within a certain range. The movement was large-scale and unpredictable. Ma Long's attacks didn't pose much of a threat, and even if they occasionally hit, they were blocked. The Centaur Fighter's titanium spear was already tightly gripped, and Ma Long didn't dare to slack off. With the laser sword in hand, he attacked!
Boom...
The titanium spear and the laser sword clashed, and a tremendous force struck. In the past, just this impact alone would have sent Ma Long flying, but now he withstood it. However, before he could be happy for a second, the Centaur Fighter's front hooves suddenly struck out.
- Centaur Double Strike!
Boom...Tornado Zero was instantly lifted up by the impact. Ma Long's face turned red, followed by a pale complexion. The engines roared in the air, stabilizing the balance, while the front hooves of the horse and aircraft landed on the ground, instantly bouncing up and striking - Ma Treading the Swallow.
The titanium spear pierced directly into the landing point of Tornado Zero. Ma Long forcefully performed a thousand-pound drop, and Tornado Zero landed like a lazy donkey rolling eighteen times. With a sweep of his laser gun, he charged into the jungle without looking back.
The audience was stunned. What the hell was this?
There were also hundreds of thousands of people watching in Zhuang Zhou's live broadcast room. They were all die-hard fans who supported Zhuang Zhou and Tianjing Mecha Academy because Puppet was willing to support Zhuang Zhou. But... what the hell was this?
Are these USE Mid-Season Tournament players???
Fortunately, it was the home field, so although everyone was confused, the criticism was relatively light. Maybe this was some kind of tactic?
Gru was even more excited. Everyone knew that they couldn't let the Martians gain momentum in battle. Once they got fired up, who knew what kind of moves they could make? And Ma Long's scrambling escape was like a naked girl.
Gru's horse and aircraft were the best at pursuit. Even with the jungle obstacles, they would only... be even more excited.
While pursuing, the retractable laser gun on the chest was not idle. This kind of attack was useless when escaping, but it was definitely effective in frontal impact and pursuit. Tornado Zero's counterattack seemed too chaotic.
Sheng Man, who was watching from the side, was anxious... how should I put it? In the elimination match, Ma Long's victory was also achieved by escaping like this. It was a difficult-to-mention move, but Tianjing won and Ma Long, with his show-off personality, seemed to have won by relying on his moves. But in reality?
Others didn't care. Ma Long could brag and deceive himself, but in the end, he lost in the competition. He had no control. He always felt that he could do better and wasn't that bad, but the result was even worse than he imagined.
The horse and aircraft pursued like they were hunting prey. They had already caught up to Tornado Zero. Tornado Zero tried to shake off the horse and aircraft's balance with a sharp turn?
How could the balance of a four-legged creature be easily shaken?
Boom...
The titanium spear directly struck the head of Tornado Zero, causing a crack to appear. Tornado Zero staggered and Ma Long felt dizzy and panicked. However, the horse and aircraft did not pursue. They turned around, and with the spear in hand, Ma Long said, "You guys are USE Mid-Season Tournament players? You Earthlings are too trash. With my level, I would just be a substitute in our team. And our academy has been eliminated. Tianjing Mecha Academy is just a bunch of chickens and ducks."
It was customary for Martians to mess with their opponents' mentality. Of course, this time Gru really thought the opponent was weak.
Ma Long retracted his mecha. He couldn't run anymore. He felt extremely embarrassed. Why was the opponent so strong? This shouldn't be happening.
Sheng Man could see Ma Long's expression through the glass. He was overthinking, too complicated. Although she wasn't a pilot, the best way to do anything was to bring out one's own characteristics, tactical style, and mecha selection should all match one's personality. Ma Long was not being himself.
Boom boom boom boom...
The horse and aircraft kept charging, and Ma Long's Tornado Zero didn't dodge, but defended head-on. It was better, but the gap was still there. The wounds on Tornado Zero's body became more and more numerous, and Ma Long's laser gun was also knocked off. Boom...
The horse and aircraft made a sudden charge, and the laser sword blocked the titanium spear, but the horse and aircraft then performed a spinning kick, kicking Tornado Zero out once again.
It wasn't a matter of losing, but being beaten so miserably. The Martian player's mouth was not idle, with all kinds of mockery. The number of viewers in Zhuang Zhou's live broadcast room dropped from the peak of over five hundred thousand to just over one hundred thousand. Zhuang Zhou himself didn't know what to say. Were the Martians too powerful, or was Ma Long too weak?
Everyone was used to Puppet's invincible dominance, and suddenly this reversal was a bit unbelievable.
The horse and aircraft adjusted their position, creating distance. The impact force of the dual-engine nuclear fusion four-wheel drive was something that humanoid mechas couldn't withstand.
"Ah ah ah ah~~~~~"
The horse and aircraft charged forward, leaping through the air, and the titanium spear struck out, meeting the laser sword.

Chapter 172: You can say I'm weak, but you can't say I'm ugly!
......
"So weak, so weak, so weak. Why are Earthlings so weak!"
Dadadadadada...
"No, no, no. Weak, weak, weak!"
Ma Long gritted his teeth and struggled to support himself. The opponent's attacks were like a storm. How could he defend against them? Should he go all out in the next move?
The sooner he died, the sooner he could be reborn. This thought kept recurring."Ugly, ugly, ugly, do you know how ugly you are? Does your sister know? Do you want me to help you out, let her experience the majesty and charm of a Martian hunk!"
Boom...
Ma Long's muscles contracted violently, and he was instantly covered in cold sweat. What the hell am I doing???
...Sheng Man was right next to him, and he was acting like a clumsy bear.
He, Ma Long, was the pride of Tianjing Mecha Academy, the pride of Sheng Man, her man!
Ma Long was not afraid of losing, and his face was well-trained, but!
Boom boom boom...
The Centaur war machine fired three consecutive shots at Tornado Zero, but Tornado Zero stood its ground and blocked all of them.
Gru was also taken aback, he actually felt the rebounding force from the opponent?
The Centaur war machine roared, its front hoof raised, and the titanium spear was lifted high. He was about to deliver a fatal blow...
Whoosh...
Tornado Zero jumped back, the Centaur war machine blocked with its horizontal spear, and the long spear flew up.
Tornado Zero - Swallow Returns.
Plop.
Tornado Zero landed, the head of the Centaur war machine cracked open.
Boom...
At some point, Ma Long in the cockpit was furious, his eyes glowing red, "You bastard, you can doubt my skills, but don't insult my looks!"
Golden zone???
