In fact, it wasn't just the members of the Troll Mercenary Team who were astonished; even the Kangaroo Captain and the leader of the SY Mercenary Team, the Enhanced Silicon-based Being, had a bad premonition. Was this really just a laborer with no fighting skills? With those evasive movements at the start, he seemed like a seasoned warrior.
At this moment, it was too late for them to regret their decisions, especially Kangaroo, who had wagered five One Hundred Thousand Mechanical Coins. He wished he could eliminate Lin Yuan right then and there. If this kid managed to snatch away the Mechanical Coins he had worked so hard to earn, it would be a humiliation greater than anything else.
Meanwhile, in the Fighting Arena, One-Eyed Gabi was also taken aback, but instead of fear, he grew more excited. He roared loudly as he reached out with his massive hand, summoning a giant log from afar that flew back into his grasp, ready to unleash his initial attack.
Lin Yuan was contemplating whether to use the Assault Longsword, a Blue Light Weapon. He was confident that with Swift Evasion combined with Charge Slash, he could take down Gabi in one hit. However, the Blue Light Weapon was too flashy. Looking around at all the mercenaries present, not a single one possessed a Blue Light Weapon. If he revealed it now, especially when he was becoming the target of everyone's attention, those greedy individuals would surely devise ways to ambush him and seize it. That would be extremely disadvantageous.
At the very least, he needed to digest those parts he had retrieved before ensuring his own safety. After all, even with the Assault Longsword in hand, he couldn't match up against experts like Lord J. Moreover, they were all working as a team and coordinated well; he couldn't afford such a basic mistake.
Thus, since he couldn't use the Assault Longsword, he opted for the Azure Light Dagger instead. This weapon was quite handy; aside from Swift Hunters, other classes didn't particularly covet it. Although it still drew some attention, it wasn't as frenzied.
With this thought in mind, Lin Yuan's Mechanical Body surged forward without hesitation and launched an attack at One-Eyed Gabi!
Gabi lived up to his title as a Berserker; seeing Lin Yuan initiate Swift Evasion with unpredictable movements didn't faze him at all. He lunged forward and slammed his fist into the ground. The force of that punch shook the surrounding rocky terrain for dozens of meters around him. Stones as large as fists flew into the air like a torrential rain of rocks!
At the same time, One-Eyed Gabi swiftly swung that twenty-meter-long log amidst the flying debris. The sheer force stirred up a violent wind and sent more sand and stones flying toward Lin Yuan like a sandstorm!
This was terrifying because Gabi's stone storm covered an area of over a hundred meters. If Lin Yuan got caught in it, just being struck by countless flying stones could severely injure or even kill him. After all, his Mechanical Body had weak durability and his Health Points hadn't fully recovered.
In that moment, realizing he couldn't rely on Swift Evasion to escape this terrifying sandstorm, Lin Yuan didn't hesitate. He instantly switched to Second Form and executed three perfect drifts in quick succession to evade several hundred meters away.
"Despicable! Shameless!"
"Coward!"
"Faint-hearted!"
Outside the Fighting Arena, Kangaroo and the other mercenaries were furious to the point of distortion in their faces. They knew that Lin Yuan had Second Form but hadn't taken it seriously before. Who would have thought that once this guy activated Second Form, he would be as agile and cunning as a fish? At this speed and agility, even if they exhausted One-Eyed Gabi, they wouldn't stand a chance! Wasn't it true that Berserkers were completely countered by Swift Hunters?
Despite their reluctance to acknowledge Lin Yuan as a Swift Hunter with exceptional agility, only Thomas and Shield Warrior Bison cheered loudly for him. They were astonished, for the two skills Lin Yuan had just displayed were enough to qualify him as a competent Mercenary.
However, what shocked everyone even more was yet to come. After unleashing his Second Form and swiftly escaping a considerable distance, Lin Yuan showed no hesitation as he turned around and charged back. His Second Form propelled him to peak speed, resembling a fierce dragon charging across the ground, heading straight for One-Eyed Gabi.
"Damn it! How is this possible? What kind of Energy Engine does this kid have?" Kangaroo couldn't help but curse in disbelief. It wasn't Lin Yuan's courage that astonished him, but the data reflecting his sudden acceleration. Among the many Mercenaries present, nearly all Mechanical Lives possessed a Second Form. For instance, Bison's Second Form transformed him into a tank, representing high defense, while others like Lord J focused on agility; his Second Form was also a motorcycle tank. Yet, Lin Yuan's instantaneous speed increase was already comparable to Lord J's, even though Lord J's Second Form could reach a maximum speed of one thousand kilometers per hour—double that of Lin Yuan's.
This was the crux of the issue, as it pertained to the instantaneous output and overclocking capabilities of the Energy Engine.
Undoubtedly, this seemingly unremarkable laborer possessed an exceptionally high-quality Energy Engine.
"At least an e+ Energy Engine, Kangaroo. You better pray Gabi surrenders soon; otherwise, he's doomed!" At that moment, Lord J suddenly sneered and made his judgment. He had never taught Lin Yuan Swift Evasion, so he understood well the power of that skill. Against a Berserker who relied heavily on brute strength and lacked agility, Lin Yuan was already in an unbeatable position. However, possessing an e+ Energy Engine meant he might have other offensive capabilities as well. Thus, Lord J keenly anticipated the outcome of this battle.
But Kangaroo and the others had no time to refute Lord J because within the Fighting Arena, Lin Yuan foolishly abandoned conventional tactics. After evading the rockstorm created by Gabi, he charged toward Gabi like a moth drawn to flame at a speed exceeding four hundred fifty kilometers per hour!
"Haha! He's finished! With such reckless momentum trying to topple Gabi, he's truly brainless! His Mechanical Body weighs less than five hundred kilograms; how could he possibly shake Gabi?" At that moment, another Mercenary Group leader exclaimed joyfully. This was indeed a foolish tactic; if Lin Yuan had opted for guerrilla warfare, Gabi would have been in real danger. But charging head-on against a Berserker was akin to a mouse clad in heavy armor riding a heavily armored warhorse, brandishing a lance against an old cat in a desperate charge!
It was utterly ridiculous!
However, before the Mercenary Group leader could finish his sentence, he was stunned to see that Lin Yuan's Second Form, which had been charging at high speed in the Fighting Arena, suddenly surged upward at that moment, soaring dozens of meters high. Then, amidst this tremendous momentum, his Second Form rapidly transitioned into First Combat Form in an incredibly swift manner—so fast that One-Eyed Gabi barely had time to react. Just as Gabi swung his massive wooden club, a dazzling blue light traced an exquisite and elegant arc through the air!
It was like love at first sight that quickly passed by—a fleeting romance akin to shooting stars lost in the rivers of time!
So fast! The momentum from Lin Yuan's speed of four hundred fifty kilometers per hour made his Mechanical Body seem like a gust of wind as it swept past One-Eyed Gabi's neck before crashing heavily onto the ground! Dust erupted everywhere!
Time seemed to freeze at that moment; One-Eyed Gabi remained with his furious roar frozen on his face. Even the echo of his growl felt so close as he prepared to swing his massive club again—just a fraction away from swatting that pesky fly away!
But that slight difference felt as distant as the edge of the world at this moment!
As the dust settled in the Fighting Arena, outside, the trolls, Lord J, Kangaroo, and all the Mercenaries stood frozen like wooden statues, staring in disbelief at what had just transpired.
Lin Yuan knelt on one knee, clearly affected by the immense force that had impacted his Mechanical Body. Yet, in his Third Mechanical Arm, he held a sharp dagger, thirty centimeters long, glowing with blue light, which made everyone's heads buzz with shock!
The Blue Light Weapon! This was truly a Blue Light Weapon!
Good grief! This is unbelievable!
The tremendous impact even caused them to overlook Gabi's rapidly shrinking form and the thick spray of blood. Lin Yuan's strike was simple, but leveraging that massive momentum, he had nearly severed Gabi's neck! It left him gravely injured and on the brink of death.
"Attention, the combat match has concluded. Contestant Cyclops Tribe Gabi is severely injured. This attack is valid. The winner is Mechanical City Secondary Citizen d00981547, codename Papaya. According to the wager before the fight, you will receive five One Hundred Thousand Mechanical Coins and control of a Kantai-900 model depreciated comprehensive information support Tank. Three One Hundred Thousand Mechanical Coins will be transferred to Troll Mercenary Team to redeem three and a half years of hard labor. Congratulations, this combat record has been generated and will take effect when you enter your next fight."
As this mechanical voice echoed, a beam of white light descended and swiftly teleported One-Eyed Gabi away for treatment. This was a necessity in the Fighting Arena; generally speaking, unless it was an exceptionally brutal killing blow, any injury could be quickly healed. If this were a life-or-death battlefield, Gabi's injuries would mean certain death within seconds.
However, Lin Yuan paid no attention to these matters; what mattered was that he had won—predictably so.
This marked the beginning of his own new era! (To be continued.)
