Wu Qiao knew that Leila had been fooled, so he didn't make a sound, but rushed towards Leila immediately.
Layla, who was in trouble, used the ultimate high-speed sword!
She is going to explode!
However, it was impossible for Wu Qiao to miss like this. He calmly resolved the attack from her, and he slashed and slashed vigorously when counterattacking. Leila's foundation was not stable, and when the blades collided, she almost fell down several times.
"Hmph." Seeing this situation, Leila decided to forcibly retreat.
For her, she must rush out of the jungle and fly back to the sky, because ground combat is extremely disadvantageous to her, and she will lose her balance sooner or later if she fights for a while.
When she looked up, she saw that the exit leading to mid-air had been occupied by Helena. This is of course, Leila thought, of course Wu Qiao would have people guard the exit to prevent her from going out. But... Could it be that she is helpless? You must have underestimated her!
Layla's mecha opened its shield to defend against the attack Wu Qiao sent her, and at the same time, her feet left the ground and quickly rose upwards.
Since the exit back to the sky is blocked, there is no choice but to find another way to leave here. Leila looked around, and quickly selected a new breakthrough point - a place where the branches were not very dense. Although it is still lush and verdant, it is already considered very good compared to the surrounding areas.
Layla pulls out her ultimate high-speed sword again! The arm of the mech shook rapidly, the light and shadow of the alloy knife was dazzling, and the severed branches fell down one after another. She chopped off those branches like chopping melons and vegetables, intending to force a hole in the place where the branches were thick!
However... just as she was dealing with the last thick branch, something unexpected happened suddenly!
Just hearing a "click", the towering tree on the right side of Leila's body with many branches and leaves pressed straight towards her direction, and there was a large dense area above her head!
"… what!"
Under three times the force of gravity, the tree falls at an astonishing speed. Leila couldn't dodge in time, and was covered by thick branches and leaves and fell back to the ground: "... what happened again?!"
"You're back?" Wu Qiao's laughter came from the communicator.
"You bastard!" Leila understood what happened just now no matter how stupid she was, and she wasn't stupid at all.
Wu Qiao figured that her mech would lose a leg, and she would try her best to get out of the ground war as much as possible.
Wu Qiao knew that it was impossible to keep her on the ground, but he would not give up taking advantage. He asked Helena to block the exit where he could rush out directly, and at the same time cut down a certain branch and leaves a little thinner, luring himself to choose that place as a breakthrough. When it reaches a certain level, there will be a relatively thick branch that needs to be pruned vigorously in front of her, but... the tree that the branch belongs to has been sawn almost by them in advance, and it is precariously waiting for someone to cut it. It's the last blow. I don't know why, so I slashed at its branches, and the tree couldn't support it anymore after being stressed, and it would naturally fall to my side.
However, Leila thought to herself, even Wu Qiao still had some conscience, and didn't let the tree trunk touch her. According to the height of that tree, she would just be covered by the top canopy. Having said that, it was very easy to dodge the tree trunk, but she couldn't dodge it because the canopy area was too large.
Seeing that she was trapped, the other two members of Leila's team rushed to rescue the captain.
The rescue did not go well, because Helena blocked the entrance and exit guarding.
One of them left the entrance immediately, intending to find another way to rush to Leila, but was unexpectedly entangled by Sheng Chongguang.
Sheng Chongguang didn't have a weapon in his hand, he just opened the shield to defend, but for ordinary people, he really couldn't get rid of it for a while.
Sheng Zhongguang is definitely not a dispensable role.
No sooner had Layla freed herself from the canopy than she heard the sound of vibrating air.
Wu Qiao was always on the sidelines preparing for a sneak attack!
Taking advantage of the moment when Layla just came out and didn't notice him, he flew towards the back of Layla's mech with both legs!
Leila was caught off guard, and her right foot was already unstable, so she fell to the ground with a "boom".
Then Wu Qiao stepped forward quickly, swipe towards the logo on the bottom of her mech's neck—
Layla tried to react, but never had time.
Almost at the same time Wu Qiao touched her mech, Leila heard Tang Sanjiao's voice through the communication system: "Layla, you're out."
Because the cockpit cannot be stabbed seriously, each mecha used for the test has a logo on it, which represents the pilot himself. As long as someone hits the mark, it will be judged to be out.
"..."
Is it out so soon...
Although it seemed like a lot had happened, in fact, it took less than five minutes from falling into the trap to being out!
She never thought she would lose so quickly!
After Leila was out, Wu Qiao immediately rushed to Sheng Chongguang's side.
Under the two-to-one situation, the opponent quickly declared defeat.
As for the third person, he couldn't last long.
In the second round of exams, Wu Qiao's team won.
There were three people who entered the final exam—Wu Qiao, Helena, and Sheng Chongguang.
This result was definitely something that no one had expected at the beginning.
It's not surprising that Wu Qiao was included, after all, he has always been very strong, but the other two are strange... Ever since the entrance exam, the two of them have always been the bottom two.
"The last round," Tang Sanjiao said, "is to hunt."
"... hunting?" Actually, Helena was not too nervous. Coming here has far exceeded her expectations.
"That's right." Tang Sanjiao said, "We will go to another planet, where there are all kinds of strange beasts. You have to kill as many high-level strange beasts as possible within one day."
"..."
"Let me talk about the rules. The last score has nothing to do with how many beasts you kill, it only depends on the highest level of the defeated beasts."
"..." Wu Qiao asked, "How can I know the level?"
"Hahaha, good question." Tang Triangle laughed again, "Now I will teach you how to distinguish between grades."
During the explanation of Tang Triangle, the three of them listened very carefully, but their emphasis was different. Wu Qiao cared about what the highest class looked like, Sheng Chongguang cared about what the lowest class looked like, and as for Helena, she planned to do what she could.
"Wu Qiao..." Sheng Chongguang asked after Tang Triangle's explanation, "Which one is your target?"
"Huh?" Wu Qiao replied without hesitation, "That's it, Mangosteen Strange Beast."
"Mangosteen beast?!" Sheng Chongguang was startled, "That one is A-level!"
"right."
"You..." Sheng Chongguang felt incredible again, "Aren't you afraid?"
"I'm afraid." Wu Qiao replied very calmly, "But I must get the first place, so there is no room for any mistakes."
"..."
Wu Qiao explained: "If the mangosteen beast is let go, I will feel very worried, very very worried. What if...you or Helena kill the stronger one? What if you kill it? As for Why I have to take the first place... I can't tell you now, sorry."
This matter involved whether he could keep Ya Jiu, and he couldn't do his best.
"Me and Helena? No, no way..." Sheng Zhongguang stammered, "The probability of that kind of thing is very small... Since I'm afraid, I think it's better not to think about it..."
"Chongguang," Wu Qiao smiled, "Actually, I am no longer as reckless as I was when I first entered school. After listening to the introduction just now, I feel that even if I really can't kill the mangosteen beast, I still have a good chance of escaping. It's — it's not that strong."
"Well, that's still not guaranteed..."
"Chongguang." Wu Qiao looked at the other party, "I think... I personally think that if you want to realize an ideal, there is one thing that is very important."
"... what is it?"
"That's right," Wu Qiao said calmly, "When everyone is afraid, you should be greedy."
Only in this way can we do what others cannot.
"..." Sheng Chongguang didn't understand.
"Don't mention me." Wu Qiao smiled and asked, "What about you? Who do you want to deal with?"
"Oh," Sheng Zhongguang lowered his head, "the lowest level, blueberry beast."
"Come on." Wu Qiao's tone was still gentle. "If you encounter difficulties, no matter what level the other party is, you must contact me. I will rush over. It will always be better if two people are together."
"Ok."
"I'll tell Helena too."
"Yeah." Sheng Chongguang still lowered his head, "That, that, Wu Qiao."
"...?"
"In case, in case you have any difficulties, please let me know. Even if it's A-level, I, I..."
"Okay." Wu Qiao patted Sheng Chongguang's head, "I know."
"Oh… "
After the exam officially started, the three of them entered the area.
The planet has complex landforms, there are seas, and many volcanoes are active all year round. The magma flows in from the mouth of the sea, leaving deep and shallow pits, and the colors of black, red and blue and white strongly contrast with each other. The beach is black because it is full of debris from the lava. Because of the rich minerals after the volcanic eruption, the surrounding trees grew lush and covered the sky, and there were many ferocious beasts living in it.
Wu Qiao walked for a long time, but only saw a few BCD-level beasts.
He didn't want to waste time, so he just bypassed them all.
The mangosteen beast... where the hell is it...
It went all the way to noon, but still did not see the target, but the communication machine rang.
- It's Sheng Zhongguang.
"Wu Qiao! Wu Qiao! Wu Qiao!" The other party's voice sounded crying, "It's over! It's over! I'm over!"
"Wait first." Wu Qiao interrupted, "What happened?"
"A-level!! A-level!!"
"A-level?" Wu Qiao's voice froze, "Where are you now?! Did you go to provoke it?!"
Strange beasts, as long as they don't take the initiative to provoke them, they will not attack first.
"At the mouth of the magma!" Sheng Zhongguang announced his location, and then said with a crying voice, "I accidentally kicked it!!! What should I do?!"
"..." accidentally kicked...
"Wu Qiao!"
"Don't panic, I'll help you." Wu Qiao said to him, "Do your best to defend, I'll be right there."
That location is not too far away.
Wu Qiao didn't hang up the communication, and rushed over at the fastest speed.
Sure enough, from a long distance, he saw the mangosteen beast. Its hard pink shell is particularly eye-catching, and the green feather crest on the top of its head is shining with strange light.
Without further ado, Wu Qiao drew his sword and cut him off!
However, when the blade slashed at its body, it was blown away by the shock!
It turned out to be unscathed!
Although the strange beast was not injured, it was enraged. It looked at the person who attacked it, screamed, turned around and rushed towards Wu Qiao!
Wuqiao's mecha instantly bounced off and rose into the air, attacking again on top of its head!
The alloy knife landed on its feather crown accurately!
Tang Triangle once said that this kind of strange beast is hard all over, but under the feather crown, it has its only weakness.
The other party let out an even more angry roar, shook his head, and the petals of the feather crown on it shook slightly. Wu Qiao looked at it and felt chills in his heart, because the blow he tried his best just now didn't have any effect!
Alloy knife... useless.
However, the mecha used for the graduation exam is only equipped with alloy knives!
Think about it too, how to put electromagnetic cannons, laser cannons, particle cannons... all together, killing an animal is not difficult at all.
From ancient times to the present, for "animals", only by killing them with bare hands can they win applause. Now... he still has a knife, which is not bad.
Wait... Wu Qiao suddenly thought of a way.
Without any further hesitation, he jumped to the edge of the mouth of the lava, and inserted the alloy knife into the orange-red liquid!
The alloy knife pierced through the sticky, black skin formed after the lava contacted the air to cool down, and pierced directly into it without any hindrance!
The moment the alloy knife touched the lava, Wu Qiao heard a crackling sound, and the little bit of water vapor on the alloy knife exploded quickly, as if a small series of sparks were sparked.
The strange beast rushed towards Wu Qiao.
Wu Qiao drew out his knife. At this time, the knife carried a terrible high temperature, as if it could burn everything on the earth.
He kicked the ground quickly, manipulated the mech to turn his body, and let his body rush towards the beast like a spinning top, and stabbed the alloy knife burned at 900 degrees into the feather crown on the head of the beast!
There was a burning smell in the air. After inserting part of the knife in his hand, Wu Qiao felt the force preventing the alloy knife from moving forward, and that force became stronger and stronger!
He gritted his teeth tightly, hovered in the air, and continued to swing the knife, cutting the opponent with the blade.
"Can't it..." Wu Qiao said to himself, "Looks like we have to do it again..."
At this time, the strange beast let out a roar, and slapped Wu Qiao's mech on the back.
Wu Qiao felt a sudden shock in his body, and the whole world was turned upside down, but he held the knife tightly and refused to let go, and with the power of the beast's palm, he forcibly cut off its feather crown!
At the same time as the strange beast made a piercing sound, Wu Qiao manipulated the mech to get up.
Just when he was about to press the button to chase the beast, Wu Qiao suddenly felt a pain in his shoulder.
"..." He realized that it was the injury he received on the last day of Shoulong Wing.
At that time, the scapula and collarbone were all broken. There shouldn't be any problems at first, but... In the first round, I worked too hard to pass the S-level test. I used all my strength when I cut off the beast's feather crown just now, and I was slapped by the opponent, which caused the old injury to be untimely. Make trouble.
hold onto…
"..." Wu Qiao leaped into the air desperately, and stabbed at the head of the strange beast that had lost its crest!
He could already see the weakest part of the beast under the feather crown—there was only a thin layer of pink shell!
With a "poof", the alloy knife was completely submerged, and Wu Qiao could finally see the white flesh under the pink shell.
He pulled out the knife and stabbed hard again.
Blood flowed from the wound on the top of the beast's head, layer by layer, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.
It let out a dying roar, and ran on a rampage without thinking. It didn't touch Wuqiao, but accidentally fell into the lava in the lower layer!
With a "hiss", the water in the beast's body quickly boiled and exploded, and the magma liquid splashed a little due to the explosion. Then, everything returned to calm, as if the behemoth just now had never existed.
"Wu Qiao is suspected of killing an A-level beast." Tang Sanjiao's voice came from the mech communication system, "Further confirmation will be made later."
At this moment, Sheng Chongguang was too shaken to speak.
…
Wu Qiao spent the rest of the time in hiding until the end of the exam. Fortunately, Sheng Chongguang was watching him by the side.
Because of killing the A-level beast, Wu Qiao will graduate as the number one. When confirming the news, Wu Qiao only felt overwhelmed by the great happiness that he hadn't experienced for a long time. He is like a person who has been floating in the water with a plank in his arms. Although he has always believed that he can go ashore, he still wants to cry when he really sees the coastline. All his waiting finally paid off. Instead of thinking about the past, he can look forward to the future. To have that expectation is, in itself, enough to make one happy.
And then... just like Tan Yan's Crow's Mouth said, as soon as he returned to Capital Star, Wu Qiao was admitted to the hospital again.
When Tan Yan went to see him, he was reading a magazine.
Tan Yan pursed his lips tightly, as if he was enduring some emotion. After a long while, he finally suppressed it, and asked lightly, "What story are you reading?"
"Oh." Wu Qiao looked at the title, "It's about a girl who lost her arms, but her husband's love for her is always the same."
Tan Yan: "..."
Wu Qiao sighed: "It's really touching after reading it... There are still such feelings in the world."
Tan Yan frowned: "You think I can't do it?"
"...?"
Wu Qiao thought: What does it have to do with you
Over there, Tan Yan said again: "Actually, I think you... also need this kind of affection."
"...?"
"According to your character, after the war, if you are not sick or disabled, you should simply thank the gods."
Wu Qiao: "..."
Tan Yan was silent for a while, and finally asked: "As for fighting so hard?"
"… Ok?"
"As for fighting so hard?" Tan Yan repeated, "Although I shouldn't say that, but... for the person who will take care of you and own you in the future, can you think more about yourself?"
"...the one who will own me?" Wu Qiao lowered his head and thought about it carefully, then raised his head and said seriously, "I belong to all mankind."
He felt that what Tan Yan said was too far away.
Tan Yan: "..."
