"Speed up, the war has already begun on the front lines!"
At the command of the safety officer, everyone didn't even have time to properly digest the news that there was actually a cross-level super-grade mecha master hidden among them!
Six commanders gathered together to discuss their combat coordinates and grouping with the safety officer.
The mecha masters were busy rushing to repair the mechas, and once their own were handled, they went to help others.
They wouldn't have known without asking, but there were quite a few super-grade mecha masters here!
Except for Lucas from Wang Kaiyu's squad and Tabitha from Yuying, who were a bit lacking, everyone else could produce and repair super S-grade mechas!
But when it came to the desert environment, no one was more familiar with it than Qilin.
So even Zhang Lyra and Jian Jingyu dared to step forward and offer guidance.
"Do you have a baffle? If you add a baffle here, the drive won't get sand in it."
"What do you mean by power system switching? Wait... do you guys only have one set of power systems!?"
Jian Jingyu's face was full of shock!
"Forget it, it's too late now. Just carry a few more energy blocks! If not, we still have some here; that sandstorm last night fully charged our energy."
Wu Fangyu held the energy blocks given by Qilin with mixed feelings...
How much had they done for energy before? Qilin had always been stingy, even going so far as to have Wang Tianwei pilot a mecha to take them down the mine shaft!
After all that fuss, they didn't lack energy at all? They could still hold back at that time? These people were truly devious!
Lucas and Tabitha followed beside Wang Tianwei and copied her; whatever she said needed to be added, they immediately did.
If you can do it yourself, do it yourself!
Although making these modifications was quite strenuous for them, Wang Tianwei, an A-grade, could do it with ease. How could they have the nerve to say they couldn't!?
Enduring the dizziness to get hands-on experience, what a great learning opportunity! Qilin really had some skills!
It made Wang Tianwei have to remind the two not to push themselves too hard while explaining the precautions... Looking at how pale their lips were, they shouldn't collapse before the star beasts even arrived!
The injured personnel had gone through the treatment cabins again, and the assembled mechas were returned to individuals.
Scattered black dots began to appear in the sky, and the safety officer's expression grew serious.
"This is your first time participating in a star beast extermination operation. I will only say one thing: act according to your capabilities.
The star beasts can never be fully killed. The primary task for each of you is to ensure your own safety.
On this basis, kill as many as you can. I will remind you in the channel when it's time to shift. Do you hear me?"
"Understood!"
"Very good. Now, according to what we just agreed on, two teams will guard one coordinate.
First Military Academy Second Squad, Qilin Military Academy Fourth Squad, you go here..."
The black dots in the sky became more numerous and closer.
Large batches of bizarre-looking, high-level star beasts crashed heavily onto the ground, stirring up clouds of dust.
Students from the various military academies began their attacks the moment they could lock onto their targets.
It was Wang Kaiyu's first time seeing his sister display her true strength; previously, he mostly saw her practicing at home or in the training grounds.
The other three from the First Military Academy Second Squad also clearly realized at this moment what it meant for Wang Tianwei to forcibly raise her B-grade physical fitness to A-grade!
Watching her attack the star beasts with seamless transitions between cold and hot weapons like a combat soldier, while also considering the positions of the other squad members to provide ranged assists, her overall combat style was exactly the same as Jian Jingyu's!
Huang Yan didn't stay idle either while using his mental power to protect his teammates and attack the star beasts, hitting the mark with every snipe...
What kind of path was Qilin taking!?
As a fellow mecha master, Lucas could only secretly grit his teeth.
Compared to Wang Tianwei, the role he could play in combat seemed too small...
Although he felt his shooting wasn't bad, if it really came to pure close combat, he would probably be beaten up by Wang Tianwei without a doubt!
Was Wang Kaiyu reliable at all? Did he really know nothing about his sister!?
A quiet heads-up would have been nice! Now, standing alone in the center and barely moving was really awkward!
Since the competition started, this was the first time Ye Yingxuan felt such a heavy sense of crisis.
From her perspective, the four people from Qilin were airtight in both attack and defense!
Now she finally knew why they could get so many points... Everyone was a combat soldier plus a mecha master!
Of course, looking from Qilin's side, the First Military Academy was also terrifyingly strong.
Wang Kaiyu, a seventeen-year-old heavy mecha combat soldier who had skipped grades, was quite seasoned at clearing star beasts! He acted like a veteran soldier with a hundred battles under his belt, completely devoid of the fear and hesitation expected of his age!
That assaulter Xu Mo was even more unbelievably agile, moving as lightly as a bird when charging! The main point was that his mecha wasn't as good as theirs!
Although Ye Yingxuan didn't make many moves, Xu Mo and Wang Kaiyu were clearly acting according to her commands. The high efficiency with which the four of them exterminated the star beasts made even Huang Yan marvel!
It was similar among the other military academies that hadn't crossed paths before.
Everyone was observing each other's strength up close for the first time, and it was also their first time facing the most authentic star beast tide head-on. Who would dare to slack off in the slightest?
The safety officers no longer had their usual gentle demeanor; facing the star beasts, they all became decisive and ruthless.
It was just that the longer the battle went on, the worse the students felt in their hearts.
The star beasts that could fall into the Kashgar Planet were the ones that slipped through the front lines. Just dealing with these was already very strenuous for them... What kind of immense pressure were the soldiers on the front lines facing?
The safety officer reminded the combatants at various coordinates through the communication channel that there were too many star beasts and large-scale thermal weapons were needed, hoping they could lure the star beasts to a fixed coordinate.
While Ye Yingxuan was still thinking about how to implement this, Wang Tianwei had already obtained Huang Yan's permission, maneuvering her mecha to transform into a fighter jet circling in the air, quickly drawing a crowd of star beasts in pursuit.
"Then I'm off, Sir Huang."
"Be careful."
"Understood."
Wang Tianwei switched back to the channel where the safety officer was.
"Officer, I am about to lead the star beasts to the designated location. Please prepare to attack."
"Copy that."
The four students of the First Military Academy stared dumbfounded as Wang Tianwei stylishly piloted the "fighter jet" to lead a large batch of star beasts away, their hands completely losing rhythm.
Before long, the sound of large-scale bombing came from the distance... Lucas couldn't hold back anymore and ran to Wang Kaiyu's side.
"What exactly is your sister's background? What's with that transforming mecha!? Did your Wang family find her some special teacher!? I'm begging you, at this critical juncture, don't hide it from me anymore!"
"...I really don't know."
"What use are you!?"
"If you put it that way, I'm indeed of no use... but right now, I just want some peace and quiet."
"Wait, Wang Kaiyu! All of their mechas can actually transform! Ah!!!"
