Chapter 66 Champion's Reward!
Chapter 66 Champion's Reward!
"Extremely detailed! Absolutely at the level of meticulous detail!!"
Inside the viewing pavilion, the usually composed senior Wang Yangming was so excited that he pressed his hand against the holographic projection table, his eyes fixed on the fatal blow frozen on the screen, his voice trembling slightly.
"The power increased by 100% in an instant; there is absolutely no other explanation than the 'Myriad Manifestations Prajna Divine Power' breaking through to the subtle stage!"
Chen Xuanzhou, who was standing to the side, also took a deep breath, and a terrifying light shot out from his originally cloudy old eyes.
But compared to Wang Yangming's shock at the power, Professor Chen saw something much deeper.
"It's not just about strength..."
Chen Xuanzhou exclaimed in amazement, "Wang Xing's combat intelligence is simply astonishing! His 'decline' and 'exhaustion' for the previous ten minutes were all an act!"
"He knew very well that the Holy Stone Body's defense couldn't be directly confronted, so he deliberately feigned weakness to lull Wang Taishi into a false sense of security. Only when he precisely captured that fraction of a second when the heavy mech's exhaust valve opened did he unleash his power in an instant, killing him instantly!"
"In mecha combat, exceptional combat intelligence and situational awareness are among the most terrifying aspects of combat skills!"
At this point, Chen Xuanzhou suddenly turned his head and looked intently at Wang Yangming: "Yangming, tell me honestly, before this, had Wang Xing's 'Myriad Manifestations Prajna Divine Power' already reached the subtle stage?"
"this……"
Wang Yangming paused for a moment, then shook his head with absolute certainty: "Absolutely impossible. I tested his data half a month ago. His progress has been stuck at the bottleneck of breaking through to the microscopic level. Although he is infinitely close to the microscopic level, he is always just one step away."
Upon hearing this answer, Chen Xuanzhou's pupils contracted sharply.
Then, he gasped, and an extremely crazy guess came to mind.
"You mean... he broke through under the extreme pressure of this final match?!"
Chen Xuanzhou muttered to himself, looking at the figure of the boy on the arena as if he were looking at a monster.
To be able to maintain absolute composure in life-or-death battles, and even to use the pressure from one's opponent to advance to the next level of S-rank martial arts...
Such comprehension and composure are the mark of a genius, a complete and utter genius.
Such a genius could never be overlooked by the Shanghai Mech University.
…………
Compared to Chen Xuanzhou's ecstatic joy, the atmosphere at the Eastern Theater Command delegation's location was as oppressive as a tomb.
Female instructor Lu Ling froze in her seat, completely dumbfounded.
She is stupid.
I was completely dumbfounded.
Watching Wang Taishi being carried onto a stretcher on the screen, she felt as if her face had been slapped a dozen times, burning with pain!
She never expected that Wang Xing would actually hold back a powerful move, which she thought was a sure thing after Wang Taishi used the [Holy Stone Body], an absolute defense of the same level!
That final, devastating strike unleashed an absolute force of over 1500 kilograms, shattering all her pride and judgment!
It wasn't until this moment that Lu Ling suddenly realized what was going on.
She stared intently at Wang Xing on the screen, her mind reeling: 'No wonder…no wonder those guys in the Western Theater Command so readily gave him the green light for [S-Rank Reserve]! This kind of forbearance, this ability to conceal his true strength, even this profound cunning in setting up deadly traps during battle…this kid was born for the brutal interstellar battlefield!'
"Hahaha……"
Just as Lu Ling's expression was changing, a seemingly casual cough came from the side.
Colonel Lin Xishan of the Western Theater Command picked up the teacup on the table, took a slow sip, then turned his head, a nonchalant smile playing on his lips:
"Instructor Lu, you flatter me."
"I thought my son was going to die here today, but I didn't expect... haha, he was lucky in the end."
Although Lin Xishan appeared calm and collected on the surface, his hand holding the teacup was actually trembling slightly.
God knows how many times he prayed to all sorts of gods in his heart just now!
Everyone thought Wang Xing was going to be worn down and killed, but who knew this kid would pull off such a stunning comeback!
But no matter what, Wang Xing won!
The Western Military Region's vision completely crushed the Eastern Military Region! The feeling was indescribably exhilarating!
"you……!"
Lu Ling was so angry at Lin Xishan's words "thank you for your consideration" that her chest heaved violently, and her pretty face turned pale and then red.
She gave Lin Xishan a cold stare, let out a heavy snort, stood up without a word, grabbed her military cap, and stormed off with her men.
If she stayed any longer, she was afraid she would be so angry at Lin Xishan's smug face that she would vomit blood.
…………
Meanwhile, in a high-end postpartum care center in Chengdu city.
"We won! Ah Xing won!!"
In the intensive care unit, Wang Xing's mother, Yang Xiaoxia, stared intently at the holographic television on the wall, her hands tightly covering her mouth, tears streaming down her face like broken beads.
"Oh my! Xiaoxia, congratulations!"
"My goodness! Number one in the whole city! Champion of the 100-school competition! Xiaoxia, you've given birth to a genius!"
"This isn't just any ordinary kid; he's destined to be a mecha general! So enviable!"
The top-notch postpartum nannies and nurses in the ward all gathered around, their faces flushed with excitement, their eyes filled with deep envy and awe as they looked at Yang Xiaoxia.
Listening to the congratulations from those around her, Yang Xiaoxia wiped away her tears while also laughing out loud.
Her gaze passed through the screen, looking at the tall, handsome young man standing in the center of the ring, being cheered by thousands.
That was her son.
Only she knew how much sweat that child had shed and how many injuries he had suffered in the countless days and nights that had passed.
Many images flashed through her mind... Ah Xing's back as he got up at four in the morning every day to go to school for training.
The sound of Ah Xing punching the Qi and Blood Stakes in the training room.
Ah Xing held up his report card and smiled, saying, "Mom, I've improved again."
The images spun before her eyes like a revolving lantern, making her dizzy, but she couldn't bear to stop them.
All the hard work, all the perseverance.
Finally, today, the most dazzling witness has arrived!
…………
Let's switch our focus back to the arena.
Amidst the roaring cheers, the official medical rescue team from the Chengdu event quickly rushed to Wang Xing's side.
"Beep beep... The player's Qi and blood are severely depleted!"
Wang Xing had already disarmed the Tiger Mech.
As soon as he landed, a strong wave of dizziness washed over him, and his legs went weak uncontrollably.
Although he did not suffer any fatal external injuries, forcibly activating the subtle level of "Myriad Manifestations Prajna Divine Power" when his qi and blood were completely depleted still caused extremely severe overload and strain on his meridians and muscle cells.
At this moment, his limbs and bones felt like a dried-up, cracked riverbed, with waves of burning pain emanating from them.
"Wang Xing, please lie down immediately for emergency repairs!"
Two medical personnel quickly stepped forward to support him and laid him flat inside a portable nano-repair chamber that emitted a pale blue light.
"laugh--"
The highly concentrated, azure-blue nourishing and repairing solution instantly atomized and seeped into Wang Xing's body through his pores.
A cool sensation instantly enveloped my entire body.
Wang Xing let out a comfortable groan. He could clearly feel that the tiny muscle fibers that had been torn due to the overload were rapidly reorganizing and healing under the action of the nanomedical robot, and his depleted blood and energy were also greedily absorbing nutrients and slowly recovering.
While Wang Xing was receiving treatment in the repair pod.
The referee, riding on a floating disc, slowly rose above the arena, his voice carried through every corner of the open-air plaza via a holographic megaphone.
"Fellow mecha students!"
"After fierce competition, I hereby announce that the final results of this year's Chengdu High School Students' '100 Schools Grand Competition' are in!"
The entire arena fell silent instantly. Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the ring with fervor.
"He emerged as a dark horse, overwhelming all rivals with his unparalleled swordsmanship!"
"He is—Wang Xing from Rongcheng No. 2 High School!"
"Let us congratulate Wang Xing on being crowned king and becoming the champion of this year's Hundred Schools Competition!!!"
boom!
As holographic fireworks exploded across the sky, deafening cheers erupted in the square.
"As the overall champion of this competition, Wang Xing will directly receive the highest bonus point privilege in the entire Federation's 'Mech University Entrance Examination'—a full 20 bonus points!"
Upon hearing this, countless senior high school students gasped in shock, their eyes turning red.
Get 20 extra points on the college entrance exam! In the fiercely competitive college entrance exam, these 20 points are enough to overcome all obstacles and directly guarantee admission to a top university!
But the rewards aren't over yet!
The referee's voice suddenly rose, filled with intense excitement: "Furthermore! In accordance with the highest award standards jointly established by the Municipal Education Bureau and the military!"
"The champion, Wang Xing, will also receive a [Super S-Grade Qi and Blood Tonic]!"
"And a [Super S-Class Mech Modification Kit]!!!"
The moment the words left his mouth, the atmosphere in the entire venue reached a fever pitch!
