Chapter 10

Within the Special Class A team, there was silence. Sun Yiming’s face was so grim that it could almost drip water.

Not to mention him, even if an S-class person were to come today, they wouldn’t dare to plunge into the swarm of beasts without a mech.

Let alone charging into the beast tide, facing a single Bone-Eating Beast alone would be daunting enough.

But this F…

Inside the B-class mech, Liu Can looked at Ji Fu’s actions with cold eyes and said in a deep voice, “Should we say she’s bold or just reckless?”

Years of education and his own understanding made it impossible for him to be overturned by Ji Fu in such a short time. In his view, not using a mech to enter the beast tide was tantamount to seeking death.

Otherwise, in such a large Interstellar Academy, wouldn’t everyone just study to become mechanics? Who would need mechs and mech pilots then?

“Organize the distribution of all Bone-Eating Beasts and prepare for battle!” Zhou Lu Hai swept a cold glance at him and directly operated the mech.

The B-class mech Zhou Lu Hai was currently piloting was created by Liu Can.

He was the most capable mech pilot in this batch, or even in the Interstellar Academy in recent years.

And this mech was his pre-school creation. To be able to create a mech without systematic learning could be called talent anywhere.

He was confident that his mech could easily handle this beast tide.

He only needed to record and observe by Zhou Lu Hai’s side to easily adjust the mech’s state at any time.

This B-class mech had strong reaction and operational capabilities, capable of swiftly dodging, striking, and even handling several Bone-Eating Beasts’ attacks without any issues.

Boom!

Zhou Lu Hai threw out his spinning wheels, and the serrated giant wheel flew out, directly slicing off the ferocious face of a Bone-Eating Beast.

At the same time, the high-speed cannon on the mech’s left arm blasted off the head of another Bone-Eating Beast.

For a B-class mech, both its speed and combat effectiveness were quite good.

But…

Zhou Lu Hai glanced at the white-haired figure moving unhindered in the beast tide.

Liu Can came from a prestigious family and had the arrogance of a mech pilot, believing that a mechanical dog was inferior to a mech.

In some aspects, it seemed to be true.

But both he and Wan Feng noticed at the same time that since Ji Fu entered riding this mechanical dog.

Everywhere the mechanical dog ran was an excellent combat position.

And…

“This mechanical dog is equipped with a combat system,” Wan Feng pressed the communication key.

“Avoidance, evasion, and even accurately predicting the direction of the Bone-Eating Beasts’ attacks, as well as attack patterns.” If one didn’t know, they would think it was an experienced combat wolf.

But even that wouldn’t be accurate. Even with experience, wolves would still tire and get weary.

But this intelligent dog could always make objective judgments.

It wasn’t the first time, Wan Feng’s eyes shimmered.

The most important rule of the exam was that students could bring in self-made items.

The strength of the mechanical dog Flame was still unclear.

But there was one thing he was sure of: “Ji Fu has an extremely excellent operating system.”

If this system were applied to a mech… his eyes grew deep.

In front of Liu Can, Zhou Lu Hai enlarged the screen, and on it, it showed Ji Fu severely exhausted, not even speaking, just patting the mechanical dog.

The mechanical dog immediately made a judgment and led her to retreat to the edge of the beast tide.

While retreating, she used all her remaining strength to fire the Gravity Silver Fish Cannon.

From her appearance until now, retreating, in just over ten minutes, she fired five shots, none of which missed.

Each shot accurately killed at least one Bone-Eating Beast.

…The accuracy was terrifyingly high.

And compared to the complex maneuvers performed by Zhou Lu Hai controlling the B-class mech, her killing method was more straightforward and more effective.

The overly intuitive results directly shut Liu Can up.

He clenched his fists tightly, his gaze deep as he looked at the screen, his expression tense and ugly.

But Zhou Lu Hai didn’t care about his thoughts. He only notified Wan Feng, “We don’t have much time, let’s go straight into Berserk Mode.”

Berserk Mode was the strongest operation mode of the mechs, but not every mech pilot could use it. It required high operational demands and consumed a lot of energy.

“Okay.”

Almost simultaneously, Ji Fu looked up and saw the two mechs not far away, both flashing red lights at the same time.

She smiled lightly and pressed the communication button, “Get ready, they’ve started too.”

Jiang Wei took a deep breath, “Got it!”

Boom!

In the forest where the Maple Iron Trees were entrenched, even the ground was shaking.

The two mechs entered Berserk Mode simultaneously. Zhou Lu Hai piloted the B-class battle armor, pushing its power and speed to the extreme. With the high-speed rotating gun attached to the mech, he traversed through the beast tide, killing countless roaring Bone-Eating Beasts wherever he went.

Meanwhile, Wan Feng drew out a mech photon sword.

With a horizontal sweep, he severed the throat of a Bone-Eating Beast.

The two of them had vastly different styles, but the speed at which they slaughtered Bone-Eating Beasts was so fast that it was breathtaking.

The two almost-S-class members of Special Class A were indeed not overrated.

Moreover, both of them were the most prominent mech pilots among the younger generation, and in this exam of Bone-Eating Beasts, they almost maximized their strengths.

But the most outrageous were those two F-rankers.

The mech engineers of Special Class A had been keeping an eye on their scores.

It was normal for the scores of Special Class A to skyrocket instantly when two almost-S-class individuals went berserk at the same time.

But…

He said solemnly, “The scores are tied.”

“Tied? How is that possible?” Sun Yiming exclaimed angrily. He quickly activated the light brain. Many functions of the light brain were disabled during the exam, but what he saw upon opening it was the bright red scoreboard.

And on the current scoreboard, the person ranked first was still Ji Fu.

The score bar of Special Class A was rolling violently alongside hers, but no matter how much it soared, she remained at the top.

If you looked closely, you could even see that her and Jiang Wei’s increase in score was almost on par with those two berserk S-class individuals.

How could these two F-rankers achieve such a feat?

“By the way, where’s Jiang Wei?” Someone finally realized that Jiang Wei’s score was rising, which meant she was also participating in the battle.

But Ji Fu only had one mechanical dog, and Jiang Wei didn’t seem to appear on the front lines, so what was she doing?

Because they were far from the main battlefield, it was hard to see with the naked eye.

So the people of Special Class A didn’t know that Jiang Wei had actually been on the battlefield all along.

She just hadn’t gone deep into it and had always stayed not far from Ji Fu.

And she had been anything but idle.

In the control room, someone also noticed the second figure wandering in the Bone-Eating Beast tide.

The proctor was dumbfounded: “Are all F-rankers this audacious now?”

One Ji Fu was understandable, but who was this Jiang Wei?

Ji Fu fired in the front, and she followed to collect the spoils, right?

The Bone-Eating Beasts shattered by the cannon were actually good materials.

But under such intense exam conditions, who could remember to collect materials? Only these two F-rankers were doing both: firing and collecting.

And not only collecting, but Jiang Wei was also using the materials on the spot to make cannons.

The cannons Ji Fu used were made by her, but in fact, she was an F-ranker, so the cannons she made were just ordinary ones.

The reason why Ji Fu’s cannons had such great power was purely because she added Silver Fish Bursting Agent into them.

…In fact, this was the first time Jiang Wei had heard of such an agent.

This agent was concocted by Ji Fu during the first round of the exam.

During the first round of the exam, they bombed using drones, so many people thought they were remotely controlling the drones, but they weren’t.

The mainframe had a built-in system that was sufficient for autonomous concoction.

This was also why, more than twenty minutes later, when the mainframe was knocked out, all the drones went haywire.

They hadn’t cared about that side at all, but instead were concocting the Silver Fish Bursting Agent.

When they made it, Ji Fu didn’t say what it was for. It wasn’t until the second round started that Jiang Wei understood.

Her roommate wasn’t just taking the exam anymore; she was setting it.

Although she didn’t know how Ji Fu had hit the nail on the head, the Silver Fish Bursting Agent was indeed the key to their victory in this round.

Regular bullets + Silver Fish + Flame. Even after those two S-classes went berserk simultaneously, Ji Fu switched to dual cannons.

Under the scorching sun, Zhou Lu Hai raised his eyes and saw the white-haired figure carrying a pair of dual cannons, darting around in front of him.

…She even picked up the slack for him. While he was in front damaging the Bone-Eating Beasts, she was behind finishing them off.

Taking advantage of her slender figure and convenient movement, she picked up at least a hundred and twenty points worth of slack for him.

Zhou Lu Hai was so frustrated that he laughed. He pressed the communication button angrily and said, “Ji Fu!”

“Alright, alright, forget it.” As soon as she finished speaking, Flame carried Ji Fu and dashed out hundreds of meters.

The white fur on her back was still sitting on the black dog, waving her hand at him, “Just picking up a little slack from you, look at how stingy you are.”

Zhou Lu Hai’s face darkened.

He hadn’t noticed that Ji Fu was about to collapse.

After saying a few words, she leaned over and coughed violently.

Compared to the strong reaction of her body, her expression remained calm, and she only took a glance at the scoreboard.

At first glance, she saw Ji Fu, ranked first, F-rank, 980 points.

She didn’t know that she had become the F-ranker with the highest score in the history of the Interstellar Academy.

But she was aware that her current score was still not enough to enter the high score list.

“How are you? Can you still hold on?” Jiang Wei’s worried voice came through the light brain.

Ji Fu didn’t say anything.

She raised her gaze, and where her eyes fell, most of the Bone-Eating Beasts had been slaughtered. And at this moment, there were still fifteen minutes left until the end of this round of the exam.

In her hand, there was only one shell left.

The shells were used up too quickly. Jiang Wei had already used the fastest speed but still couldn’t keep up with her consumption rate.

And just at this moment.

Boom!

A loud noise came from behind.

Ji Fu turned around and saw a creature nearly three meters tall, like a moving small mountain, with bones protruding all over its body, and dense spines growing from its head to tail, enveloping her entire figure in the shadow of the monster.

A B-class mutant beast, the Bone-Eating Beast King.

Both Zhou Lu Hai and Wan Feng were also approaching their limits.

The mech in Berserk Mode had already issued a warning, indicating that the energy was about to be depleted.

Zhou Lu Hai acted quickly, directly opening the emergency compartment of the mech and activating the highest level of ammunition.

Wan Feng, on the other hand, merged his entire body with the long sword held by the mech and dashed towards the Bone-Eating Beast King.

However, the monster opened its blood-stained mouth towards the direction closest to it, aiming for Ji Fu.

Ji Fu, exhausted, was finding it difficult to even evade at this moment. However, she held on, flipping down from Flame’s back.

“Ji Fu!”

“Big sister Ji!” The people inside the two mechs were both shocked by her actions.

But what they didn’t expect was that Ji Fu, sitting on the ground, sweating profusely, gave the first command after releasing Flame.

She said, “Mechanical restructuring.”

Click.

Under the sunlight, the pitch-black mechanical dog underwent transformation within three seconds.

Beep, beep, beep.

“Restructuring complete.” Under the sunlight, the mechanical dog Flame transformed into a black cannon in an instant, with an extremely high barrel, protecting Ji Fu’s figure.

But because of the Bone-Eating Beast King’s wide-open mouth, it got stuck in the beast’s throat.

Ji Fu raised her hand and placed the last gravity silver fish shell into the restructured cannon of Flame.

Boom!

A loud explosion erupted inside the beast king.

Ji Fu narrowed her eyes, watching as blood-colored flowers bloomed in the sky.
