Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 534 Holding back laughter
Alexander's appearance excited the group of trainees, as seeing the Allied Forces' strongest mechanical dragon was an unimaginable honor... However, Mu Xiang and his three companions, who were there for the reason, didn't feel anything.

Alexei didn't let them talk directly, but spoke to Alexander alone... Mu Xiang, who was dealing with physical training in another area, heard it clearly. He was simply telling Alexander about the characteristics of the four newcomers.

“This guy probably won’t participate in physical training… I guess he’ll participate in combat training,” Zheng Zha said to Mu Xiang while bench pressing a barbell.

Mu Xiang lay on his other side, holding the largest barbell, his expression unchanged: "I guessed it too... This guy has been in the Mechanical Dragon system for a long time, and he's been very successful. He's a bit arrogant, and if he gets the chance, he'll definitely want to give the younger generation a hard time."

"Well, he's from the 26th century... strictly speaking, he's not even good enough to be our junior," Zheng Zha complained.

Just as they said, Alexander arrived fully equipped when the combat training began. The other mechanical dragons or reserves were still half excited and half nervous as he drew a lucky junior, while Mu Xiang and the others were already wondering who he would choose from the four.

Alexei said calmly, "Don't worry, everyone has a chance... After he finishes this match, you can also challenge Alexander."

Alexander chuckled, appearing quite magnanimous. This man was already considered one of the older members of the Mechanical Dragon clan; in fact, within the Mechanical Dragon context, a man nearing forty could be said to have long passed his prime. However, he was infamous, or rather, infamously ruthless, and seemed completely unaffected by age during gladiatorial combat.

At this moment, Alexander demonstrated his physical prowess to his successors... After taking off his leather jacket, his body was sharply defined, and after putting on protective gear and boxing gloves, he was quite imposing.

He raised his fist at the crowd, then his gaze skipped over the mechanical dragons in the back row and moved among the reservists. Those he looked at tensed up, as if both anticipating guidance from this powerful figure and fearing this clearly unapproachable man.

In the end, Alexander's gaze settled on one person: "I choose this one."

Unexpectedly, Alexander chose Mu Xiang directly... This surprised Zheng Zha and Luo Gandao, and even Zhao Yingkong's expression changed slightly.

Mu Xiang was initially taken aback, but then he felt relieved. Upon reflection, although Zheng Zha was shorter than him compared to this type of guy, his physique was still decent; Luo Gandao, regardless of height, was at least not thin; and Zhao Yingkong was a girl, and someone with such a tough-guy mentality wouldn't even consider her as an opponent.

So... at first glance, the one most suitable to give him a hard time was actually himself. Before wearing a helmet, he was even wearing glasses, so perhaps in Alexander's eyes, he looked like a weak and frail young man?

Only the four of them know who is stronger and who is weaker... But from an outsider's perspective, Mu Xiang is indeed an easy target.

"I don't know what his attitude was when he made the choice... If he wanted to pick the strong one, I can only say he's very lucky; if he wanted to pick the weak one, I still have to say he's very lucky..." Zheng Zha said softly.

Mu Xiang shrugged: "You overestimate him, it's definitely the latter..."

Alexander narrowed his eyes and saw the four new recruits selected from the Eastern Front whispering among themselves… This made him feel even more obligated to demonstrate his strength as the senior recruit. Of course, he wouldn't say it aloud; he had previously told Alexei that he hoped the old man's judgment wouldn't be flawed again, and that he wouldn't pick a few unsuitable candidates.

However, he was also a little puzzled; the expressions on these people's faces seemed off. The two men who weren't chosen looked astonished, while Mu Xiang, who was chosen, seemed completely indifferent. As for the aloof girl—well, Alexei had told him that the short-haired boy was a girl… she was actually suppressing a laugh? Mu Xiang coughed, put on his gloves, and came out: "Come on, how many minutes?"

Alexander flashed his signature smile… which the United States media called the Alexander-style sneer. He looked at Mu Xiang and said, “We’ll keep going until one of them is knocked down.”

Mu Xiang lowered his head and pondered for a while, then looked up and said, "Has someone surrendered?"

"You're already thinking of surrendering before the fighting even starts?" Alexander's smile vanished, and he said coldly, "You're even worse than that monkey from a few years ago."

Mu Xiang nodded: "Okay, you said it."

Alexei frowned slightly, a habit of Alexander's... He said, "Stop talking nonsense and prepare to listen to the command."

Mu Xiang and Alexander took their respective positions. Mu Xiang turned to look at Alexei, waiting for his command, while Alexander stared at Mu Xiang.

"start."

Although Alexander was arrogant, he wouldn't be presumptuous at a time like this, especially since he had come with the intention of showing off his strength. So, the moment he heard the command, he sprang into action.

With his fists encased in boxing gloves, he threw out one after the other. One fist was used to block Mu Xiang's possible attack, while the other, with a powerful step forward, slammed into Mu Xiang's head with astonishing force.

Mu Xiang remained expressionless, simultaneously unleashing both hands. His left fist simply blocked Alexander's attack outwards, while his right fist, moving with incredible speed, bypassed Alexander's defense and struck Alexander directly in the chest.

Zheng Zha couldn't help but twitch his eyelids. In that instant, he seemed to see blood splattering everywhere... After all, he himself was often punched through by Mu Xiang.

Zheng Zha only breathed a sigh of relief after Alexander was sent flying. He remembered that Mu Xiang had already figured out the appropriate force at the eastern training base—enough to frighten people, but not enough to kill them.

However... Alexander's flight altitude seems a bit off, doesn't it?
Alexander's punch was blocked, and it felt as if he had hit an impenetrable wall. He didn't even feel his opponent exert any force, yet his punch was simply deflected at an angle. The punch to his chest gave him the uncanny sensation of being unprotected by the mech's shockwave, as if a sledgehammer had struck his chest, causing him to lose control of his body!
The soldiers gasped in surprise, and Alexander, right before their eyes, fell to the edge of the fighting area... Under Mu Xiang's control, this punch wouldn't cause him to fall and lose more points or even have his countdown over.

"Surrender?" Mu Xiang shrugged. "Although you seemed to have expressed a negative attitude just now, I'll still give you another chance... If you miss the afternoon's driving training because of this, it will be a loss for everyone."
