Common attack style with a long blade...? How is that possible!?
The maintenance engineer from DE looked into the virtual scene, and Lin Yao was still chaining attacks!
Using a long blade for normal attacks?! Can a mecha pilot handle such maneuvers?
At the YDS base, Ke Lin is a guardian mecha pilot, and he observes the operation of guardian mechas very keenly. He sees Lin Yao's continuous movements as if it were a perpetual motion machine. As long as he holds the blade, this chain of attacks can continue.
Hu Luobu's scalp tingle. As an artillery mecha, he understands the pain of being approached, especially being comboed in melee like this. "How can his stamina be so good?! He can still chain attacks?! That's a blade, not the light blade of a stealth mecha!"
"Lin Yao's weapon isn't equipped with a high-attack ability crystal."
Ke Lin looks at Lin Yao's peculiar weapon. Clearly a blade, but the allocation of the blade and the hilt is particularly disorganized. However, in Lin Yao's hands, such a weapon can produce an effect he has never seen before. He says, "Qi Sicheng told me that KID's front line is very strong. Gale Base once considered buying them to form a second team."
The faster the attack speed, the more effective the normal attack style.
In a melee with normal attacks, the damage of the weapon is not that high, but this playstyle is about speed. It's a competition to see how much damage you can accumulate in a short time, achieving the damage of a high-attack weapon in a single strike through the accumulation of regular attacks.
Stealth mechas can handle it because their inherent mecha characteristics include a speed boost. But Lin Yao is using a long blade. Playing normal attack style with a long blade requires split-second precision and endless stamina.
Hu Luobu: "But this is too fierce. Even if his damage per strike is not high, how long can he keep this chain going!?"
"I remember the data saying that Lin Yao is an S-rank physique mecha pilot." Ke Lin frowns as he watches the situation in the arena. "Lin Yao used to deliver a set of seven strikes while maintaining a high level of combat effectiveness. This is a formidable combo, but have you noticed that his damage is not higher than before, and the speed of the blade is a bit slower compared to the data I've seen, but it has been consistently stable. Guardian mecha pilots, when delivering combos, even if they have good physique, the speed of the blade slows down the more they fight."
Any physique anomaly cannot maintain a high level with every strike.
There is only one exception: a speed-attack normal attack style weapon. This type of weapon may not be the fastest, but it is the most stable, maintaining a terrifyingly uniform speed of attack accumulation.
Hu Luobu, "Normal attack style with a long blade??? A blade is different from a short blade!"
"But he's doing it, and this kind of blade is generally not used by guardian mecha pilots. Even I can't achieve the effect that Lin Yao is showing." Ke Lin looks at the agile guardian mecha in the virtual scene. "This is a blade that only Lin Yao can wield at a high level."
What kind of weapon designer did KID find to tailor such a blade for Lin Yao!?
The rhythm of a long blade is harder to grasp than a short blade, considering factors such as swing range, environment, and stamina. It is usually difficult for long-blade weapons, despite their wide attack range, to achieve a high attack speed due to the length of the weapon.
The long blade given to Lin Yao by Ying Chenlin uses an A-grade Nine Dragon Vine's regenerative ability crystal.
[Regeneration], in the field of pollutants, is a continuous and steady supply. When applied to mechas, it accelerates the supply of energy in a short time.
Generally, melee mechas use attack-type ability crystals to equip their weapons, aiming to deliver the highest damage within a few strikes. But equipping [Regeneration] type ability crystals doesn't increase the attack power of the long blade, it enhances the regenerative effect of the long blade itself.
Lin Yao likes to deliver combos and engage aggressively.
Ying Chenlin increased the flexibility of delivering combos for him, providing assurance for continuous combos using [Regeneration]. [Regeneration] makes the long blade gather energy quickly and lightly, reducing the stamina Lin Yao needs for each swing and improving the flexibility and regenerative effect of each swing. In other words, the effect of Lin Yao delivering seven strikes with this long blade may be only as effective as the original four strikes.
But due to this subtle adjustment, perfectly tailored to Lin Yao's stamina switch, he can continue swinging the blade with the assistance of the weapon.
Lin Yao is not tall, but he has liked playing with long blades since childhood. Despite his small stature, he can handle weapons of the same height very flexibly. After becoming a mecha pilot, the long blade has become one of his favorite weapons.
However, the long blade is slow, even slower than other styles of light blades by a few milliseconds. Even if there is no need for charging, the requirements for precision in operation are extremely high.
In the past, Lin Yao's limit was delivering a set of seven strikes with a long blade. These seven strikes, combined with the burst of the weapon core, could reduce the opponent's damage by 10% in one go. However, once the set was completed, the regenerative effect of Lin Yao's long blade would fade, and the effect and speed of the subsequent strikes would drop significantly. This often made Lin Yao a target of criticism in KID's front line.
Most mecha pilots believe that with Lin Yao's aptitude, if he switches to using a control artillery-type weapon, whether with Huo Yan or Ji Qingfeng, he could become a formidable wall that is difficult for KID's front line to overcome.
Because KID's front line lacks control, and the most suitable guardian mecha pilot to carry a control weapon does not carry one.
But he always carries a protective shield and a long blade. His character is too impulsive, and his actions are reckless. The protective shield does not ensure enough caution, and the long blade cannot produce effective results.
Until today, KID's former artillery mecha pilot is now the current artillery mecha pilot for DE.
Under Lin Yao's long blade, there is no escape, and Xu Yaojun is rendered defenseless by the continuous combo of the long blade.
In the live broadcast, everyone is still watching the combo of KID's guardian mecha.
The commentator exclaimed excitedly, "Still chaining!!! Yao is about to reach 50 consecutive hits!"
In the eyes of most viewers, artillery mechas, as the main output mechas in team battles, have always been the highlight. Some fans even watch matches just to see artillery firing. This was especially true last season when Yaojun frequently achieved victories by eliminating multiple mechas during KID's mecha team battles. This led many to believe that Yaojun was the core of KID's team.
Until today, Yaojun, an artillery mecha pilot, couldn't even escape from the attacks of the guardian mecha.
This is a guardian mecha without control weapons. If it were KID's control mecha, wouldn't Yaojun be helpless lying down!?
Below the stage, the DE boss was flushed with anger, and others around him didn't dare to speak.
The DE boss didn't expect Yaojun to perform like this. Clearly, he spent a lot of money to acquire him, and last season, Yaojun achieved such excellent results. However, in his hands, it turned into this, unable to defeat even a guardian mecha.
Shen Xingtang glanced at the DE rest area. "That's why outsiders shouldn't guide insiders."
Jiang Simiao, engrossed in watching the match, didn't turn his head at the comment. "Hmm?"
Shen Xingtang shifted his gaze to Yaojun's weapon in the image. "Bought a waste back, still cherishing it like a treasure."
Inside the arena, other mechas from DE wanted to support Yaojun, but they were separated by others KID brought in. Ji Qingfeng took the control mecha, and the remaining three mechas were harassed by Lu Xi's control from a distance. Meanwhile, there was continuous long-range suppression from an unmanned mecha.
Yaojun had no ability to fight back. He was continuously comboed by Lin Yao without any time to charge. Every time he thought of raising his artillery, Lin Yao could quickly interrupt his actions. This combo didn't come with a control effect, but Yaojun felt a helpless sensation of being tightly controlled.
Isn't this person tired? How many hits has he landed? Can he keep going?!
"Go help Yao Ge."
"No way to help, I can't get through."
"Yao Ge, find a way to break free from the guardian mecha and come to me!"
Yaojun had never been so embarrassed. In the communication channel, other teammates were coordinating with each other, but he felt his face burning, as if he had returned to the Banute pollution zone before. At that time, he lost his right hand due to a surprise attack. Now, he was being bullied by just Lin Yao.
At this moment, Yaojun forgot the advice from the DE maintenance engineer before entering the arena. He immediately fired under suppression. The weapon without charging hit Lin Yao, instantly sending him flying.
Lin Yao, suddenly stunned, took a step back, noticing the damage. "What's going on?! Why did he interrupt my damage, and why is it so high!?"
There is no artillery weapon in the entire Star Alliance that doesn't require charging. Firing without charging is like firing a blank shot. However, Yaojun's seemingly blank shot produced an effect equivalent to a 10% energy sniper shot. This was impossible; even with the fastest 10%, it would take nearly 15 seconds to charge.
Lin Yao's combo was stuck at 1 second, and Yaojun couldn't possibly deal this much damage.
Ji Qingfeng realized, "This guy's sniper cannon is problematic, he's cheating!"
Huo Yan shouted, "Little Yao, step back!"
"Want to run!?" Yaojun's face darkened. Without hesitation, he fired another shot at Lin Yao. "Couldn't handle it just now? Why run?" In the communication channel, other DE mecha pilots saw the situation and hurriedly tried to stop him.
"Yao Ge! You can't use it like this!"
"The weapon will be discovered!"
Yaojun didn't listen. He broke free from Lin Yao's grip, unhesitatingly raised his artillery, and fired. The significant amount of energy stored in the weapon core of the Variable Color Mouse played a role at this moment. With a charging time of only 15 seconds, he could produce a 30% effect with a sniper shot. He could now deliver a combo and eliminate all of KID's mechas.
Ji Qingfeng: "Lin Yao!"
Lin Yao quickly rushed forward, facing the threat of Yaojun's artillery, and pointed at the location of Yaojun's sniper cannon.
The high-energy sniper cannon exploded between the two, shooting up into the sky!
"Want to fire?! I'll make you aimless!" Lin Yao gripped his long blade tightly, turned, and stabbed towards Yaojun's sniper cannon. "You fire once, I'll hit you once!"
Yaojun: "What the hell!?"
In the live broadcast, the commentator's voice was excited: "KID's guardian mecha! He actually dared to attack while the artillery mecha was firing!"
When an artillery mecha is firing its artillery, it's already in a charging state. Attacking at this time could be hit head-on by the artillery. Moreover, there is no time to evade this kind of attack. As long as Yaojun lets go, Lin Yao will be hit right in place. But Lin Yao still went forward, catching everyone off guard.
The fired sniper shot exploded in the air. Yaojun gritted his teeth, and the close-range bombardment forced Lin Yao to step back. In his hands, the sniper cannon acted like a fast-paced control weapon, firing shot after shot. The surrounding forest trees were all knocked down.
Outsiders watch the excitement, insiders see the situation.
A single shot could be attributed to the weapon core effect, but continuous shots brought an eerie feeling.
In the Gale Base, Zhao Lejie saw this and immediately said, "I said something was wrong. I thought it was the attack effect of his weapon, but look at this damage. Can he achieve such high damage with such a short charging time?"
In the YDS Base, Hu Luobu frowned and immediately asked the nearby Ke Lin, "Yaojun's weapon has abnormal damage. I observed it, and his fastest charging speed hasn't exceeded 2 seconds. He doesn't rely on saving aiming time to shorten the preparation time for the sniper shot. Something is wrong with this weapon."
In the stands, Li Jingyan called over the staff. "Go and retrieve the weapon data of DE's artillery mecha pilot. Have someone check the combat data in the preparation area and copy and back up everything."
The match continued at a fast pace—
[KID-Qing eliminates DE-bvnn]
The commentary in the live broadcast continued excitedly: "KID's stealth mecha solo killed DE's control mecha! DE is completely at a disadvantage, and they have entered KID's rhythm."
Yaojun powered up again but was forcibly knocked back by Lin Yao. The sniper cannon, halfway through charging, swept the surrounding area, leveling the nearby forest.
Smoke rose, and the flattened forest lacked other obstacles, providing a clear view for KID's mecha pilots.
Yaojun, seeing the control mecha eliminated, couldn't contain his anger. It was always like this, every time. Regardless, he indiscriminately fired towards Lin Yao.
Ji Qingfeng: "Damn, Yaojun is really going all out!"
Huo Yan: "It seems like a real violation. This is the elimination match, and there are a lot of virtual cameras both inside and outside."
Unable to get close, Lin Yao had to step back several steps to avoid Yaojun's artillery barrage. "There's no way; I can't get close."
"No need to get close. You keep him there." Yu Su quickly said, "We'll solve it on our side."
In the preparation area, maintenance engineers, who were monitoring the data, noticed the continuous alarm from DE. They looked over, and some abnormalities that might not be apparent in normal situations became noticeable. The surrounding maintenance engineers frowned, engaging in hushed discussions.
DE's maintenance engineers, seeing Yaojun's chaotic bombardment, cursed, "This idiot!"
Even though the weapons made by the Variable Color Mouse could bypass the Alliance's checks, it didn't mean it could completely escape detection. On the battlefield, it was still necessary to disguise it, requiring the mecha pilot to cooperate with the 'normal' rhythm to access the energy inside. Otherwise, those who understood could easily spot the difference.
Clearly, Yaojun had been instructed to be cautious when using the weapon core.
At this moment, external staff rushed in. "DE detection station, suspend operations!"
Ying Chenlin took a step back, making way for others.
He glanced at the virtual scene of the match. KID had completely gained the upper hand.
DE's maintenance engineers looked anxiously at the incoming staff, forced to leave the detection station. The staff from the D district took over his work.
Inside the preparation area, with real-time monitoring and live broadcasting, the scene of the staff entering was also broadcast synchronously.
Jiang Simiao looked at Shen Xingtang. "In the preparation area—"
"Yaojun's weapon is abnormal. The Alliance should have noticed." Shen Xingtang calmly said, "As relevant personnel, we currently cannot enter the preparation area; we can only leave it to Ying Chenlin."
The staff's voice continued.
"Energy exceeds the limit!"
"Environment anomaly."
"Investigate the cause."
"Energy anomaly comes from the artillery mecha of DE."
The abnormality in the preparation area attracted the attention of many people. DE's maintenance engineer stood behind the detection station, looking at the continuous alarms under everyone's attention. He looked around helplessly, everything was over.
The Variable Color Mouse's core would surely be discovered.
The DE maintenance engineer looked around anxiously and suddenly saw the young engineer from KID still standing in his original position.
The other's gaze was no longer on this side, calmly watching the live footage of the arena as if the chaos in the preparation area was less interesting to him than his teammates' match.
Soon, he suddenly heard noises from outside.
Turning his head, he saw a middle-aged man walking in under the guidance of others.
The DE maintenance engineer, seeing that man, weakly held onto the nearby support. President of the Dawn Alliance!?
Li Jingyan actually came in person!
Li Jingyan entered this preparation area, and the nearby staff hurriedly handed him the data board.
The staff said, "We detected abnormal energy fluctuations from DE's artillery mecha. We are currently in the final stages of investigation. If DE is found to have violated regulations, we will immediately stop DE's match."
Li Jingyan looked at the various information jumping on the data board. "How long will the inspection take?"
The staff replied, "We will try to give you a definite answer within 10 minutes."
Li Jingyan nodded slightly, listening to the reports from people around.
When he finished looking at the data board in his hand and surveyed the surroundings, he suddenly glimpsed a young man standing not far away with his back to him.
Looking closely, Li Jingyan found that Ying Chenlin had become thinner, as if illness had worn down his body, and his face lacked the previous healthy flush.
Li Jingyan had seen Ying Chenlin many times in the mecha match preparation area. He had been watching Ying Chenlin's matches since he was in the star system competition, watching this child step by step onto the stage of the Star Alliance competition with his extraordinary talent, achieving a grand slam, and finally bringing back the first individual trophy for the Dawn Galaxy.
The preparation area was empty when he was still a minor. Every time he passed by, he could see Ying Chenlin standing in front of the mecha, as if talking to his mecha.
Ying Chenlin seemed not to have noticed his arrival, nor did he worry about the inspection results of the staff. He stood at KID's detection station, with more attention focused on the ongoing match.
At this moment, Li Jingyan saw a slight smile on the other's lips.
Li Jingyan looked up at the live image he was focusing on and saw a certain mecha.
In the live broadcast, the abnormalities in the preparation area sparked some discussion, but more attention was drawn to the polluted zone.
With the assistance of teammates, KID's artillery mecha eliminated DE's guardian mecha. Now, there were only three mechas left for DE on the battlefield.
The commentators noticed the changes on the battlefield and quickly said, "Wait! KID's Trace is changing positions; he's heading towards Yao."
In the forest, the smoke caused by Yaojun's artillery had covered a large area. Trees were toppled, and the chaotic battlefield now had a rifle mecha swiftly shuttling through. Nearby, Lin Yao, wielding a long knife, held up his shield with one hand, enduring Yaojun's artillery fire without retreating.
The swift KID's artillery mecha stopped somewhere. He immediately raised his cannon and aimed, and the sniper scope displayed the mechas of Lin Yao and Yaojun.
The commentator noticed and hesitated, "Trace has raised his cannon, he's aiming at DE's artillery!"
In front of the sniper cannon, concentrated energy was gradually gathering, and the shockwave of expanding energy dispersed the surrounding smoke like ripples on water.
Second by second, the charging time passed, and the accumulated energy fluctuations became larger and larger.
As the smoke cleared, the fully charged sniper cannon presented a perfect attack posture.
Seeing this, Lin Yao suddenly stepped back, and the rapidly retracting thrusters pulled him back hundreds of meters.
Yaojun suddenly noticed something, turned abruptly, and saw a beam of light rushing through the smoke.
"Chairman, we have confirmed that the DE artillery mecha pilot has illegally modified the mecha's weapon core, carrying a large amount of energy into the polluted zone arena, violating the regulations of the Mecha League competition." A staff member quickly walked over.
"We are now sending someone to stop the match."
At the same time, trees were broken in half, and the soil flew in all directions. KID's artillery mecha pilot, Trace, fired a 100% charged sniper cannon, piercing through the smoke and the forest.
