Accompanied by some people's ridicule, the faces of all the members of the North Carolina Race team became serious. They were all outstanding students of the Tianqi back then.
Lu Donglei looked at the tense atmosphere between the two sides, appearing cold on the surface but feeling somewhat happy in his heart. Finally, there was some spirit. He wanted to see how far Chao Qinglong had come. As for Li Hao, there was no way around it. Although the teacher had instructed him, if sharpening the North Carolina Race and assisting Chao Qinglong could contribute to the Earth, then so be it. After all, there could only be one leader.
"Very well, I will choose four events: evasion, endurance, marksmanship, and one-on-one combat. Each event is worth one point, and the final one-on-one combat is worth two points. You have half an hour to prepare."
Lu Donglei said, instructing the staff to prepare.
This was really about to begin. The atmosphere of the entire training ground suddenly became lively. There was nothing more attractive to everyone than this. Those who understood knew that this was a war between the new king and the old king. One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.
For those who were just watching the excitement, they could also understand the subsequent training through these battles.
In the command room, the atmosphere of the Tianjing Machine Martial Arts team was silent. Wu Zang and the others had serious expressions. Ma Long collapsed in his chair. What was this? What did he do to deserve this? Did he have to go through this?
Would the journey of the Tianjing Machine Martial Arts team in the mid-season tournament and even the S tournament come to an end? This was too unfair. They had no hope against the North Carolina Race. Offee and Depua had to win, but Qiongdong and Karl were not weak at all.
Just now, there was only one possibility, which was for Li Hao to back down and find a weaker team.
But now that things had come to this point, it was too late to regret. There was no strategy, no tactics, and time kept moving forward.
Finally, it was about to begin.
The first match to be held was between Depua's Prometheus and Perkins' Karl. This time, the two did not quarrel as they used to. In fact, when they were in Tianqi back then, they had the best relationship. But because of the accident, they went their separate ways. The friendship from back then was gone in this battle. The onlookers whispered to each other. Even those who didn't understand the situation at this time had a general idea. The root of it all was the conflict between Chao Qinglong and Li Hao.
Lu Donglei personally acted as the referee. "The first event is evasion training."
On the Prometheus side was Randall, and on the Karl side was Seth.
In front of the two of them was a smooth and silver metal wall. Both of them were light mechas, and evasion and agility were basic skills. Without the constraints of the mecha, this was even more so. They usually trained in various evasion techniques.
Lu Donglei looked at the two of them. "The first one to be hit loses. Begin."
The two instantly focused their energy. In the next second, silver dots burst out from the wall. The two were only three meters away from the wall. When they realized that things were not good and wanted to activate the Red Eyes, it was already too late. With screams, the two were hit and turned into "sieves." Lu Donglei didn't even look. "Both failed!"
These people were too arrogant. Did they really think the military had no preparations? He would definitely make them play house. "I remind you that all participants will be included in the scores as part of your final score."
The second event, endurance.
The strongest members from both sides appeared. Their ability to withstand hits in heavy armor was undoubtedly the strongest. This time, both of them were prepared. As soon as they started, they immediately entered the Golden Zone, with their muscles tense and ready.
In the next second, a one-meter-diameter metal cylinder shot out like a cannonball. There was a circle under each of their feet, and the one who was knocked out of the circle first would lose, and they couldn't evade.
Seeing this level of attack, the first reaction of the two was to evade. But after all, they were members of the top USE team, and their long-term training restrained their instincts. They resisted with their arms, taking the hit head-on. Then both of them flew back seven or eight meters and fell to the ground. Neither of them could withstand a single blow, and they struggled to get up but had no strength.
Lu Donglei didn't even look. "Both failed."
It was originally expected to be a fierce battle between dragons and tigers, but the training itself unexpectedly stole the show. The top Prometheus and Karl teams ended up with a score of zero to zero.
Lu Donglei's face was very serious. If there were any choices, he would probably directly eliminate these unprepared wastes. Of course, he also wanted to give all the participating teams a warning. These people were too relaxed, lacking a sense of responsibility and crisis in the face of a serious situation.
"The third event, marksmanship training!"
Lu Donglei said in a deep voice.
Depua and Perkins also had very ugly expressions. This was just training, and they were losing face. After all, they had always been top-tier teams.
The main snipers took the stage. To be able to be a sniper, one must be skilled in various firearms. They had to be more accurate when shooting on their own to ensure the feeling when piloting a mecha. The sniper who came on stage was confident.
Judging from the situation, they should be shooting at flying discs or something similar. At most, there would be some obstacles to avoid, but these were all common occurrences.
On the Prometheus side was Xilan, and on the Karl side was Monazai. They were both well-known snipers in USE and had participated in S10. Not to mention tactical execution, their marksmanship was basic.
"This event is very simple. You will be shooting at flying discs, and the one with the highest hit rate wins."
After Lu Donglei finished speaking, Xilan and Monazai couldn't hide their smugness. Actually, who wouldn't want to show off in front of everyone? Although there weren't many spectators below, they were all top figures in the industry. "Let's begin, General!"
The soldiers brought out pistols, the standard issue for the current military, the Tiger Guard M2. This was the foundation of training, but in the next second, the two couldn't laugh anymore. The soldiers handed them blindfolds.
"This is specially made for the mid-season competition. Even if you have X-ray vision, it's useless," said Lu Donglei. There was a whispering below. Is this a deadly trap?
I heard that this year's mid-season competition is different, but does it have to be this extreme?
Xilan and Monazayi were dumbfounded. After putting on their blindfolds, they completely lost their sight. But their ears twitched instinctively. It was difficult to locate the sound, but this time, the key was to have a higher hit rate than their opponents.
Then, a harsh roar sounded in their ears, and their heads buzzed. The next second, the disc flew out.
They had to enter the Golden Zone. The powerful spiritual power would form a keen lock on the outside world. They had to use their spiritual power to lock on, and rely on the strong "feel" and muscle instinct developed through long-term training to achieve hits.
Xilan and Monazayi's faces turned ugly. They saw nothing but blankness. The Red Pupil would give them some sensitivity, allowing them to perceive the disc coming out, but the speed and trajectory were completely beyond their grasp.
Ten seconds passed, and the two of them held their guns, but didn't fire a shot.
"Failure!"
After three rounds, the two overly confident teams were pressed to the ground and humiliated. Xilan and Monazayi, who took off their blindfolds, also lowered their heads.
It's not that they didn't want to cheat, but before they could react, their rhythm and judgment were completely disrupted. Time was up while they were still thinking.
At this moment, the remaining forty teams all let go of their arrogance. Yes, even after experiencing the baptism of the Giant Insects, they still looked down on the mid-season competition. They believed that the so-called training camp itself was meaningless. The selection and determination of their level was still based on them.
This was the level that the training camp members had always shown, which was definitely higher than the average level of the military. It made the mid-season training camp appear impressive but empty. Of course, the military couldn't make it too difficult just for the sake of difficulty. But this time was different. The three basic training camps all had specific targets.
Evading was the simplest, and shooting metal balls was not new, but the difficulty was indeed high. This took into account the powerful prediction and reaction after awakening in the Golden Zone. At the same time, it required the body to keep up with the prediction. Otherwise, it would be useless. The military realized that awakening was not the goal. The power awakened needed the cooperation of the body to achieve unity.
The second requirement was endurance against attacks, which was a requirement for heavy armor. This requirement was not only for combat, but also for when there were problems on Kepler's side. It required the heavy armor to have a strong ability to withstand external forces. This was also based on the strength of Titan Star.
The third requirement was for further improvement of snipers. Compared to other positions, snipers were least affected by the Golden Zone, but this also meant that snipers had to improve their resistance in order to face the impact of other positions with stronger power after awakening. They needed stronger reaction and insight.
It can be said that the survival space for snipers in the future will become more difficult. After discussions, the military believed that the position of sniper should not be eliminated, but strengthened. Awakening in the Golden Zone must have value, and further exploration of its power was needed.
Of course, these were all basics. In the end, it depended on the players' own determination to reach what kind of height.
All the players failed the challenge, and Depua and Perkins also had unpleasant expressions.
Lu Donglei didn't give them any face. This is what you call confidence and top-notch skills. In the end, the outcome of this round is determined by the one-on-one battle between you two."
Lu Donglei, with a serious expression, was not in a hurry. The task of the mid-season competition was to solve problems. Before solving the problems, everyone had to realize the problems. On one hand, it was to establish a leader, and on the other hand, it was to deter others. Depua glanced at Perkins and said, "***!"
"Using your mouth!"
Perkins sneered, "What else can you do besides sucking up to others!"
"That's still better than kneeling and licking traitors like you!"
The two were old rivals since their time in Tianqi. They were both majoring in light mechas. In this area, they indeed represented top-level skills in USE. Everyone knew that they had been competing secretly, but in terms of overall combat, Perkins was indeed slightly stronger than Depua.
"Let's stop arguing. Whoever loses today will stay away from each other in the future!"
Perkins also got fired up. He originally wanted to leave some room for the other party, but every word he said hit a major artery.
"I've been waiting for this day!"
Depua threw away his coat. At this point, he didn't care about anything else. If it wasn't him lying down today, it would be Perkins. Anyway, he couldn't let Li Hao leave the mid-season competition like this.
The two of them came to the center of the training ground. The soldiers had already brought weapon racks, with various cold weapons matched to different types of mechas. Both of them silently chose titanium daggers. In an instant, their expressions became serious. They didn't know how they had come to this day. They were once the closest in style and had the best relationship in Tianqi. One followed Li Hao, and the other followed Chao Qinglong.
Memories flashed through their minds. Depua's biggest hatred was traitors. If there was no evidence for the past, it could only be speculation. But today, when Chao Qinglong stabbed them in the back at the most critical moment in Tianjing, it revealed everything. And Perkins, this lackey, must pay the price.
Swoosh... Depua's eyes turned blood red, and Perkins' eyes also turned blood red. Obviously, both sides had murderous intent.Bang, bang... Accompanied by two almost overlapping sounds, two figures arrived at the center simultaneously. Depua was known for his swift hands, while Perkins was known for his agile legwork. The attacks of these two light mecha pilots were characterized by their speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness. They engaged in a flurry of offense and defense, aiming for each other's vital points, but there was rarely any direct collision. They were constantly probing each other, looking for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.
