The Seventh Base

Chapter 192: Chapter 83 Battle Mecha (Second release, seeking monthly pass and subscriptions)
 

The Military District arranged accommodations for the people from the Eight Extraordinary Colleges and prepared to take them on a collective field training.

Xu Mo did not join them.

The next day, he was driven alone to an area, the location of which he did not know.

“Xu Mo, according to Commander Qiu’s wishes, you will have a special training session arranged for you alone. You’re no longer the old senior of Noah Academy, but an elite soldier of the Southwest Military District. You might have to suffer a bit,” Instructor Sloan said as he brought Xu Mo to a certain area and spoke, “The soldiers here won’t show mercy to you.”

“Understood,” Xu Mo nodded.

Sloan nodded and continued to lead Xu Mo forward.

Ahead, a line of soldiers appeared, one of whom stepped forward. He was a man in his thirties, exuding the unique resolute aura of a soldier. Sloan and the man saluted each other.

“Instructor Sloan,” the man called out.

“This is Instructor Han, the demon instructor of the Southwest Military District. Junior Brother Xu Mo, good luck to you,” Sloan said.

“Instructor Han,” Xu Mo looked at him and nodded slightly.

Instructor Han glanced at Xu Mo, remained silent with a serious expression, unlike his earlier jovial demeanor with Manu.

Xu Mo could tell that this man was not easy to get along with.

“Instructor Han, I’m leaving him in your hands,” Sloan patted Xu Mo’s shoulder and then turned to leave.

Xu Mo was going to have a rough time; he didn’t know what Commander Qiu was thinking.

“Follow me,” Instructor Han said as he turned and walked forward. Xu Mo followed behind him, coming to an open space where many soldiers were spread out, each with a fierce look about them.

Xu Mo could feel that these soldiers were all elite.

“Are you armored?” Instructor Han asked.

“Yes,” Xu Mo nodded.

“Let’s see how many you can fight at the same time,” Instructor Han ordered, and immediately he stepped aside as two soldiers stepped out and approached Xu Mo.

They had already received intelligence that Xu Mo’s combat power was very strong.

But military service doesn’t focus on individual combat.

No matter how strong one’s personal combat power is, there are limits. Now, he wanted to see how many Xu Mo could fight at the same time.

Xu Mo stood still with a serious expression.

But he also knew that the real special training had started.

Fighting soldiers is different from fighting monsters. Monsters have low intelligence and don’t understand teamwork; they can be defeated one by one. But soldiers have a tacit understanding and if they attack together, it indeed poses a real challenge.

While he was thinking, two military men had already charged towards him.

Xu Mo’s body surged forward as well, and as the two men almost attacked at the same time from left and right with synchronized steps, Xu Mo threw his punches simultaneously at both of them.

“Bang.”

The sound of the collision was almost simultaneous, sending both men reeling backward.

Suddenly, two more stepped out, turning the pair of soldiers into a group of four.

Xu Mo’s expression became stern; he had no War Saber in his hands, and it was challenging to fend off several people with his body alone.

Xu Mo charged forward, heading towards the left side, trying to break through them one by one from the flank.

Seeing Xu Mo’s movement, the men also moved to the side in unison, following his steps.

“Bang.”

Xu Mo suddenly accelerated and charged into the middle of the four.

The opponents shifted their formation, with the ones on the left and right stepping forward half a beat faster, forming an encirclement. If Xu Mo entered, all four could attack him simultaneously.

“Buzz.”

Xu Mo dashed into their midst, and all four threw their punches at his head simultaneously.

Xu Mo shifted his body, sensing the movements of all four, weaving through their punches and landing fierce counterblows. With successive bangs… two men were sent flying; his body continued to surge forward, causing the attacks of the other two to miss.

Instructor Han’s gaze was fixed on Xu Mo. Was he taking down one with each punch?

Suddenly, four more men joined the fray, eight in total now surrounding Xu Mo.

“Bang.” All eight charged at Xu Mo, encircling him in the center.

Xu Mo, without hesitation, dashed towards an opening to break through. The two men there retreated, while the other six continued their advance, the encirclement seemingly moving with Xu Mo.

Xu Mo furrowed his brows tightly; these men were tough to deal with.

Pushing his speed to the extreme, he charged at the two directly ahead of him. The duo stopped and fell back, then lunged forward with ferocious momentum, attacking Xu Mo together.

Xu Mo sidestepped the attack of one man, then struck, sending him flying with a punch, and went head-to-head with the second, his terrifying power sending him staggering back. That same immense force also halted Xu Mo’s advance.

The other six arrived at once, two leaping into the air to smash down on Xu Mo, while four on the ground rushed to strike.

Xu Mo sidestepped the aerial attack, grabbed one man, and swung him at another, sending the two flying.

“Bang, bang!”

Two fierce attacks hit Xu Mo, who seized their hands, and the three slid backward together.

“Boom.”

Xu Mo, gripping their arms, tossed them into the air and then slammed them hard to the ground.

But at the same time, the final two attackers reached him, sending him flying backward with a strike that coursed with pain.

He glanced at the two men and sprinted forward.

With two sharp sounds, both were knocked away.

All eight men were downed, but Xu Mo was also in pain.

The soldiers around the perimeter revealed a hint of surprise in their gazes, with a touch more recognition evident in their eyes.

“Continue,” Instructor Han spoke.

The eight fallen soldiers got up from the ground, and at the same time, another eight stepped out.

Sixteen men, all encircling Xu Mo at once.

Xu Mo’s gaze changed, now filled with a fierce determination; they would not stop until he was taken down.

Before long, all sixteen soldiers were lying on the ground.

But Xu Mo was hardly any better off; he lay on the ground, agony coursing through his body.

While his attacks were strong, able to overpower his opponents.

But as flesh and bone, one’s ability to withstand blows is limited; this was why “two fists are hard to beat four hands.”

Of course, there were some abilities he hadn’t used.

“Rest for an hour, then weapons training,” Instructor Han said.

“Yes.”

The crowd nodded, and Instructor Han left the area.

“Hey, what’s your name?” After Instructor Han left, a soldier lying on the ground asked Xu Mo.

Xu Mo showed a hint of surprise. The other person didn’t recognize him?

It seemed that these soldiers underwent enclosed training and had basically no contact with the outside world.

However, this was also in line with the military style.

“Xu Mo,” he replied.

“Not bad, where are you from?” The man praised before continuing to ask.

“I was previously a student at Noah Academy, but I’ve dropped out now,” Xu Mo responded.

“Dropped out and they arrange such a big troupe for your special training, is your family really rich?” another person asked.

Commander Qiu’s love for money was no secret; as long as there was money, any mission would be accepted.

So, they wondered if Commander Qiu had been bought off.

Xu Mo shook his head, not sure why the other party would think so.

“You can fight, but later in the weapon fight, being able to fight will be useless. We won’t be holding back,” the other party laughed. Using weapons, long-range attacks, and Xu Mo by himself, how could he fight?

Moreover, according to Instructor Han’s intention, today was only the beginning of the special training, a probe to test the approximate level of Xu Mo’s strength.

After that, even stronger targeted special training would follow.

Before, they thought Xu Mo was here for a beating, an easy target to teach a lesson.

But after one fight, they acknowledged Xu Mo.

That’s the military for you.

Very direct, speaking with fists.

…

After a day of training, Xu Mo experienced the combat style of the military.

Hand-to-hand combat, weapon combat, and mecha battles.

Moreover, all of them were positional battles, face-to-face combat.

After a round, Xu Mo was somewhat exhausted.

The power of an individual was indeed weak.

Little did he know, after a day of training, this unit held Xu Mo in high esteem, with many people getting to know him and being convinced by him.

Even Instructor Han’s stern face became less serious, his gaze softened a few degrees toward Xu Mo.

In the evening, Sloan sent Manu to pick up Xu Mo back to his residence.

In the passenger seat of the military vehicle, Manu looked at Xu Mo and asked, “Junior, how do you feel?”

There was a playful smirk on his face; his junior must have suffered today.

That wilderness battalion was the ace team of their Military District.

“A little,” Xu Mo said, his body still sore all over.

Seeing Xu Mo pretending to be strong and smiling, Manu didn’t expose him.

But his junior was still standing, which was quite impressive.

Must be quite a few internal injuries, right?

The military vehicle drove through the Military District.

When they returned to the camp’s exterior, both men jumped out of the vehicle.

The students from the Eight Extraordinary Colleges had all returned from training, looking a bit weary.

In one direction, many mechas were marching in step, part of the mecha training team.

Olivia was among them.

Inside the mecha, Olivia’s beautiful eyes glanced in a direction; she saw Xu Mo.

“Xu Mo.”

A voice came from the mecha.

Xu Mo and Manu turned around, and then saw a mecha activating its energy and speeding towards him.

“Hmm?”

Xu Mo frowned. Who was this?

Female voice.

The terrifying speed of the mecha meant that Xu Mo kept retreating, but the mecha was already upon him.

Xu Mo drew his sword.

“Boom!”

The mecha’s huge Energy Sword slashed towards Xu Mo and the powerful impact forced Xu Mo back, slamming him against a wall, creating a hole in it.

Hearing the commotion, many turned their gazes here.

“This violent?”

Manu, standing beside, looked at Xu Mo and then at the mecha.

Had Xu Mo done something to another person’s girl?

Olivia inside the mecha showed a satisfied expression, feeling she had vented her anger.

Xu Mo walked out from the wall.

He had a rough idea of who the person was.

The woman from the Extraordinary Academy – the last time in Ruins World, during his battle with Lin Jue, she had taken cheap shots at him.

A coldness flashed across his eyes, and he gripped the War Saber tightly, a powerful Energy Field burst forth as Source Power surged.

“Bang.”

With a step, Xu Mo lunged forward.

“What is he doing?”

The pupils of those watching this scene constricted, their attention fixed on Xu Mo.

Manu was watching Xu Mo too. Was he going to fight a mecha?

Are the young people of today so crazy?

Although mechas are not invincible, they still have an absolute advantage against a single flesh and blood body. Even at the same level, their attack and defense crushes opposition.

Olivia was also startled, watching the approaching Xu Mo.

Courting death!
