Chapter 185 It’s Not Shameful If You Don’t Understand
"That's not necessarily true." Colonel Gu quickly replied, then glanced at Chairman Wei calmly: "You are not a combat professional, right?"

"You know me?" Chairman Wei instantly forgot to figure out what Colonel Gu meant. His face flushed with excitement. "Yes, yes, I used to be in charge of logistics for the 6th Regiment of the 3rd Division of the 5th Army of the Federation stationed in the Northern Frontier. After retiring, I transferred to Xiluo Star and am currently the Director of the Education Department of the Star Government. At the same time, I was valued by the Star Commander and served as the Chairman of the Inter-school League Organizing Committee for the third time."

"Yeah." Colonel Gu nodded and tapped the screen with his right hand wearing a white glove: "So it's not shameful if you don't understand this mecha fight. You don't have to spend so much time explaining it to me."

Chairman Wei didn't expect to hear such a sentence. All his enthusiasm was extinguished by this basin of cold water.

He stood there, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Colonel Gu ignored him and continued to watch the game on the screen.

Due to the speed limitation of the K31 mecha, the distance between Nan Rong and Wu Lu became difficult to advance once it was reduced to about fifty meters.

She didn't seem to be in a hurry. She just dodged and moved quickly between the stone pillars, without launching an effective attack.

This doesn't seem to be anything extraordinary, does it? Chairman Wei scratched his head.

He had already guessed that his understanding of the game just now was wrong, so he paid more attention to K31.

But Nan Rong's performance was there. Facing the endless rain of bullets, it was futile no matter how hard he tried to dodge - that's not right!
He suddenly discovered a problem that he had been ignoring.

At least five minutes had passed since the battle began, during which L28 had been continuously providing all-round fire coverage to K31, while the latter had advanced all the way, shortening the distance between the two sides to more than meters—without a single injury on his body!

The status of both sides' mechas were displayed on the screen. Even the L28 inevitably collided due to the rapid leap. The health bar of the outer armor became 31%, while the K was still %!
However, the mobility and defensive capabilities of the K31 are obviously not on the same level as the L28!

What does this mean? It means that Nan Rong's ability to control the mecha is much stronger than Wu Lu's!

After changing his perspective, Chairman Wei suddenly felt much clearer in his mind.

After discovering the first problem, the second one was quickly found.

Due to the size of the micro-mech, the number of energy blocks it can carry is limited!

The addition of weapons and energy blocks came at the expense of armor thickness, so such a large-scale firepower output could not last long.

L28 only had less than % of its energy left, which was only enough to continue its full output for another minute and a half!
And K31 still has % of its energy!

Wu Lu really didn't expect that Nan Rong would be so difficult to deal with.

With such intensive firepower just now, even a fourth-level mecha warrior would not be able to escape unscathed, but he didn't even get the paint on his mecha scratched at all.

Not only was his movement agile, but his tumbling and leaping were always just right, as if the energy bombs he fired had eyes and automatically and consciously avoided K31.

He originally thought that he had taken his opponent seriously enough, but now it seems that it is still not enough.

If it were any other mecha warrior, they might be a little panicked at this moment, and would probably change their long-range attack tactics to close combat to save energy.

But Wu Lu has another identity: a first-level earth-type supernatural power user.

The first level of earth element has only one most basic extraordinary skill: "Elementary Mud Swamp Technique".

This skill can only trap the mecha for a moment and cannot cause any damage.

But combined with dense long-range energy nets, it creates an unavoidable kill.

Wu Lu had not originally planned to reveal his killer move during the training camp.

But if he didn't come out, then victory would be a very slim thing. He represented Hanhai University, the team that ranked seventh in the last session. It would be fine if he lost to a team ranked higher, but losing to a fake school like Xiluo Xinghua? That's absolutely not okay!
Nan Rong discovered at the first moment that the opponent's energy seemed to be insufficient. He had fired four shots at the same time before, but now only half of it was left.

But according to her calculations, the opponent should continue to exert his full strength for one minute, and then use the remaining energy to engage in close combat with her.

Showing weakness so early must be a conspiracy.

Nan Rong advanced quickly while raising his vigilance. As expected, he soon found his intended landing place, and a circle of gray-black shadows appeared there.

Quagmire Trap! She was so familiar with this thing!

I remember when we were having a simulated battle with the Sixth Column, the opponent's earth-type supernatural power user liked to set ambushes.

As a result, for a long time, whenever Nan Rong saw a gray-black circular shadow, he would subconsciously use a spatial teleportation move.
But that was a long time ago. Nan Rong pursed his lips tightly.

Wu Lu's face was gloomy. He finally calculated the most likely landing point based on Nan Rong's route and released the quagmire trap.

In order to reduce the other party's suspicion, he deliberately weakened the firepower attack, and at the same time used two energy guns to quietly lead her onto that road, completely eliminating the uncertainty that was already limited.

However, K31 didn't know what happened. When he was about to land, his right leg suddenly turned in a circle in the air and did not fall down.

At the same time, the mecha's left foot jumped several steps in succession, completely avoiding the quagmire trap, and continued to rush towards him.

How is it possible? Wu Lu was extremely surprised.

His extraordinary abilities were not awakened naturally, but were acquired after taking the first-order E-level gene optimization fluid before the group stage.

Gene optimizers often focus on strengthening the original outstanding attributes, while also slightly improving other attributes.

Only a very few lucky people can gain an additional ability after taking gene optimizers.

Wu Lu was lucky. Not only was he promoted to a third-level warrior, but he also awakened a first-level earth-related extraordinary ability.

It was because of these that he was selected as the all-around player of Hanhai University.

Previously in the group stage, he relied on the combination of these two abilities to trick many members of other school teams in the province.

But Nan Rong was an opponent he had never seen before. It was fine if she was just agile, but how could she dodge his quagmire technique? Was it a coincidence or something else?

He had carefully chosen this location. The gray-white stone ground was not noticeable even if there was a circle of gray-black marks, making it perfect for use as a trap.

The abilities of all-round players are hidden. Nan Rong should not know that he is a user of earth-type extraordinary abilities, let alone discover and avoid it.

So what just happened must be a coincidence, and it must be a coincidence.

Wu Lu mobilized all the power in the source energy crystal core and set up three quagmire traps in succession along Nan Rong's route.

The three traps are stacked together to form a triangle. As long as K31 enters this area, he will definitely step on it.

The next step is how to force Nan Rong to that place through fire suppression.

As he was thinking this, a blinding silver light suddenly flashed before his eyes, and then a sharp pain came from his chest.

The pain level in the simulation cabin during the training camp was set to 100% of the normal value, so Wu Lu fainted from the pain.
