“Okay!”

Chen Tong nodded heavily.

Su Ming took a deep breath, his expression grim as he fixated on the Flame Knight in front of him.

The Flame Knight, sensing Su Ming’s combativeness, held up its red Alloy Blade like a knight ready to duel.

At that moment, Chen Tong raised his Blast Gun and sprayed bullets at the Flame Knight.

The Flame Knight, with an S-shaped move, dodged the barrage and quickly attacked Su Ming.

Su Ming rapidly entered a series of commands and pulled the control stick.

He maneuvered Iron Head, activating the thrusters at an angle, holding a Heavy Metal Mechanical Blade in his left hand and an electromagnetic mechanical gun in his right, moving sideways.

The Flame Knight immediately adjusted its course and charged directly at Su Ming.

Bang!

Su Ming pulled the trigger!

The Electromagnetic Light Bullet shot out at a tricky angle toward the Flame Knight.

The Flame Knight swung its red Alloy Blade, fiercely smashing the incoming Electromagnetic Light Bullet, causing sparks of electromagnetic light arcs, which made it slightly pause.

Seizing the moment, Su Ming adjusted the thrusters and charged at low altitude toward the Flame Knight, slashing with his blade.

The Flame Knight’s red mechanical eyes lit up, sharply raising its red Alloy Blade to accurately block Su Ming’s attack.

Su Ming was also surprised; the creature had reacted immediately.

Then, the Flame Knight kicked the waist of Su Ming’s mecha, sending it flying and crashing heavily to the ground.

Just as the Flame Knight turned to pursue, suddenly a grenade shot over.

The Flame Knight tried to dodge.

Boom!

A massive explosion sent the Flame Knight flying.

The Spiritual Mechanism in the distance saw this and turned to crawl away.

“Chen Tong, nicely done!”

Su Ming praised as he controlled his mecha to rise.

“Not bad!”

Chen Tong discarded the Grenade Gun he had picked up, switched back to the Blast Gun, and continued firing excitedly at the flying Flame Knight.

At that moment, the Flame Knight, enduring the attack, swiftly rose from the ground.

Its crimson eyes locked on Chen Tong, and an arm-mounted hidden cannon extended.

Bang, bang~

It fired a barrage at Chen Tong.

Chen Tong’s face changed dramatically, and he immediately leaped aside.

At that moment, Su Ming raised his electromagnetic mechanical gun and fired at the Flame Knight.

The Flame Knight was hit, its body flashing with electrical arcs, causing a delay in its movements, but it still didn’t completely lose its ability to move.

If this had been a First Generation, it would have been paralyzed already.

Su Ming, with a determined heart, threw down the electromagnetic mechanical gun and recklessly controlled his mecha to charge forward, lifting the blade in his hand toward the Flame Knight’s chest.

Crack!

The entire Heavy Metal Mechanical Blade buried itself halfway into the Flame Knight’s chest.

The Flame Knight forced its red Alloy Blade to sweep towards Su Ming.

Su Ming narrowed his eyes and decisively released the blade, his mecha quickly retreating.

Whoosh~

The Flame Knight’s blade slashed at air, and then it looked down at the ground.

There lay a blinking red explosive mine.

Boom~

Instantly, the Flame Knight was blown away, crashing heavily to the ground.

Su Ming immediately switched to the Blast Gun, intensely unleashing a hail of bullets at the fallen Flame Knight.

Bang, bang!

Chen Tong, seeing this, also began to madly fire.

Under their intense combined fire, the Flame Knight exploded with a loud bang and was completely destroyed.

At that moment, Su Ming and Chen Tong’s interfaces both displayed a prompt.

“Defeat: Second Generation Guardian Mecha·Flame Rider, gained 5 points.”

“Assist in Defeat: Second Generation Guardian Mecha·Flame Rider, gained 2 points.” freeweɓnovel.cøm

“Phew~”

Chen Tong saw that the Flame Rider was down and let out a long sigh of relief.

Su Ming turned his head around, looking for the Spider Body Spiritual Mechanism, but it was nowhere to be seen.

“Su Ming, what are you looking for?”

Chen Tong asked, puzzled by Su Ming’s actions.

“I’m looking for that Spider Body Spiritual Mechanism.”

Su Ming replied simply.

Upon hearing Su Ming’s words, Chen Tong immediately picked up the gun he had put down.

“Don’t be nervous, it probably ran away.

Let’s strip the remaining ammunition from Xiang Shu and the others and get out of here quickly.”

Su Ming said tersely to Chen Tong.

“Okay!”

Chen Tong nodded in agreement.

…

On the other side, Qi Duo and Shi Wu were making their way towards the interstellar airport with a detour.

From time to time, they looked back.

Seeing that the Second Generation Mecha wasn’t following, they slowed down their pace.

“Qi Duo, does this count as desertion in the face of the enemy?

Could we be considered deserters and lose points for this?”

Shi Wu asked anxiously.

“What desertion in the face of the enemy?

Are you crazy?

Our mission is the interstellar military airport, and we’re heading there, aren’t we?

At worst, this is called tactical evasion.

We can’t stubbornly engage an enemy we can’t beat, can we?”

Qi Duo explained to Shi Wu.

“That makes sense, but it seems like we’ve screwed over those two from Mint College.”

Shi Wu said with a bit of remorse.

“Ah, if the chief is down, why bother about others?

We don’t even know how far we’ll make it next.

If we flunk this test, next time it’ll be for real on the battlefield.”

Qi Duo said, frustrated.

“Oh, then let’s hurry to the interstellar airport and see if we can blend into a new team.”

Shi Wu hurriedly replied.

“That’s more like it!”

Qi Duo quickened his pace towards the airport.

…

Meanwhile, Su Ming and Chen Tong, controlling fully armed Mechas, emerged from the edge of Manhavi City.

The two gathered up all usable weapons from the fallen, and Su Ming also equipped the red Alloy Blade of the Second Generation Flame Rider.

“Those bastards, don’t let me run into them again.

I’d give them a piece of my mind every time I see them; they almost got us killed.”

Chen Tong cursed furiously.

“Forget it, we were just thrown together temporarily.

It’s not unreasonable for everyone to scatter when disaster strikes.”

Su Ming, on the other hand, appeared very calm and not at all angry.

“Hmph, even so…

What’s wrong?”

Chen Tong, in the middle of speaking, saw Su Ming suddenly stop and asked puzzledly.

Su Ming looked towards the distant sky, where the silhouette of Manhavi Interstellar Military Airport caught his eye.

“What’s wrong?”

Chen Tong scrutinized closely and asked, still not understanding.

“Didn’t you notice that the interstellar military airport is very quiet?

I remember when we parachuted, it was bustling with a lot of students going in.”

Su Ming said calmly.

“Could all the students who jumped in have been wiped out?”

Chen Tong’s face turned pale as he spoke.

“Let’s hope I’m just overthinking it.

Let’s go!”

Su Ming’s confidence in this urban exam was diminishing by the moment, as the difficulty seemed to be at its maximum.

With a heavy heart, Chen Tong followed Su Ming towards the distant Manhavi Interstellar Military Airport.

…

At dusk.

Su Ming and Chen Tong, driving Iron Head, cautiously approached the edge of the Manhavi Interstellar Military Airport.

This installation, one of the three major interstellar airports on Earth Flame Star, spans 3,000 square kilometers and is filled with various supporting facilities and buildings.

Looking into the airport, Su Ming’s eyes met with various damaged mechanical wreckage, transport vehicles, and facilities ablaze with fierce flames.
