Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 536 Arrogance and Pride

Mu Xiang ignored Alexei and Alexander's conversation, instead removing his equipment and returning to his original position. Taking the glasses from Zhao Ying's empty hand, Mu Xiang's eyes flickered slightly: "You're smiling?"

"No." Zhao Yingkong turned her head away.

Zheng Zha, however, burst into laughter, seemingly finding it harder to suppress his laughter than to hold it in.

Before Mu Xiang could say anything, Zheng Zha coughed and asked in a low voice, "You've had your fun, haven't you?"

Mu Xiang shrugged: "I don't think so. After this match, I actually started to like the guy a little."

"Oh? How do you know?" Zheng Zha was taken aback.

"His arrogance stemmed from his own strength, not his status... So after I suppressed him, he didn't get angry or embarrassed, but quickly adjusted his mindset. For him, the strongest is not a title or name, but strength itself. So it's not surprising that he put away his arrogance when facing a new strongman."

"That's also what I think, the difference between arrogance and haughtiness... There's definitely a reason why this person has been able to reach such heights in this world," Mu Xiang said.

Zheng Zha pondered for a moment: "So, have you changed your mind?"

Mu Xiang put on his glasses and smiled: "He's changed. He might become an asset to us in the future..."

"If his spirit remains consistent."

Alexander did not appear in the subsequent combat training, leaving the other reserves unsure whether to feel disappointed or relieved. However, quite a few lucky soldiers were assigned to Mu Xiang and the others by the system, and some reserves even fought all four of them in several rounds of training.

For them, perhaps only Logandao was a worthy opponent… Even so, Logandao only lost one match. His physical attributes were inferior to his opponent's, and his fighting skills were precisely countered by his opponent's style, which led to his defeat. However, this win-loss ratio, along with his score during the fight, would still make his overall score quite formidable.

After finishing the morning's fight, Zheng Zha felt much more at ease... It seems that Luo Gandao's fighting skills are not only not a weakness, but rather a strength—although not the strongest.

"You underestimate the capabilities of the Main God Space." Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses. "Even with just a little guidance, even without truly unlocking the genetic lock, dealing with people from a magic-free plane is quite simple. Right now, the only thing worth worrying about is probably the physical fitness test, which requires raw strength. If you're worried, just watch his training more. Without Cheng Xiao..."

"His practice was ineffective, wasn't it?" Zheng Zha chuckled.

Mu Xiang slapped his forehead: "Whatever makes you happy..."

Luo Gandao took off his boxing gloves, but then chuckled and scratched his head: "If Brother Zheng Zha could give me some pointers, I'm sure I could improve even more."

"You're quite eager to learn from me, aren't you?" Zheng Zha patted his shoulder. "What, you think I don't know how to do that grueling training stuff?"

Luo Gandao chuckled, but his expression froze.

"You guessed right, I really can't." Zheng Zha laughed heartily and walked towards the meeting place, leaving Luo Gan, who was both amused and exasperated, behind. What the others didn't know was that Alexander hadn't come entirely with the intention of bullying the weak... In his view, giving these four juniors a beating would be a simple matter, so he started with the weakest and worked his way up to the strongest. Unexpectedly, he hit the jackpot with his very first pick, and that was the end of it.

But in any case, Alexander will never appear before everyone in that manner again… For some, dealing with a friendly character is indeed much easier. Of course, Alexander also avoided unnecessary trouble because of his actions…

During the afternoon mech training, Alexander came with Alexei and personally selected a mech for demonstration... The mechs placed in the core area of ​​the central base, in addition to being reserved as strategic weapons, also included some mechs with their weapons removed, which were intended for use by these mechanical dragons and reserves.

Regardless of how these conditions compare to those of the United States, even the Allied Powers, whose training system is the best in the world, cannot use this kind of mech at every base... Although it is not the exclusive mech of Mechanical Dragon, it is by no means comparable to an ordinary training machine.

Upon learning that they could pilot such mechs, Mu Xiang and the other two were relatively calm, but Luo Gandao was immediately jolted awake. If he hadn't at least piloted a mech before, he probably would have been shaking until he boarded the plane.

Alexander piloted a mech, demonstrating his signature moves to the crowd… some were more performative, others were tactical. While the former had little practical combat significance, they still showcased Alexander's formidable strength; he could easily select a mech he had never flown before and control it to perform exquisite maneuvers… Moreover, witnessing Alexander demonstrate these moves was a great honor in itself.

Most of the people here were seeing Alexander for the first time. Amidst their amazement and cheers, they also secretly remarked that this most powerful mechanical dragon seemed much friendlier than the rumors suggested. However, they couldn't quite understand why Alexander was behaving this way.

The space above wasn't big enough for everyone to operate the mechs. After Alexander finished his demonstration, the rest of the mechanical dragons and the reserves went to find their own mechs. They did so so quickly that Zheng Zha and the others didn't even have time to react.

Mu Xiang pointed down: "The training ground for everyone is underground. First, board the plane, then go down from the transfer station."

Zheng Zha and Luo Gandao exclaimed in sudden realization, and then each went to find their favorite mecha... although the only difference between most of the available mechas here was their paint job.

"Let's go. After we make our selections, we still need to take the elevator to the cockpit. Let's avoid queuing if we can." Mu Xiang smiled at Zhao Yingkong.

Luo Gandao finally experienced the proper mech-boarding process, and upon entering the mech, he couldn't help but cheer. It took him a while to compose himself before heading to the transfer station. However, what he didn't know was that Zheng Zha, who claimed to be focused on the mission, was also incredibly excited…

This is a real, combat-ready mech!
As they queued to go underground, the four noticed that Alexander's mech was standing next to the transfer platform. Seeing them approach in their mechs, Alexander's voice rang out from the other side: "How about we talk again later?"

Mu Xiang's voice was also amplified: "We probably don't have any expertise in this area, so we can only ask our senior brother for guidance."

"Hey, there's no gladiator training today, so we'll practice something else," Alexander laughed. It seemed he had misunderstood. "The old man was really praising your talent."

"Looks like you believe me now?" Mu Xiang said, half seriously and half jokingly.

“Of course I believe it. To deny the strength of others is an insult to myself and all mechanical dragons,” Alexander said frankly.

"Okay, then please give me your guidance."
