Bartley was indeed thinking of returning to meet up with the main army . He wanted to continue being the leader of the pirates and enjoyed his life . However, he realised that there were already people who had caught up behind him .
Wang Zheng did not intend to let Bartley off . On the contrary, this leader of the pirates might be the only chance of reversal in this battle . He would rather depend on himself than others as he couldn't count on the Hail Cloud Alliance's regular soldiers .
Wang Zheng was a maintenance technician and knew about the principles underlying mecha construction very clearly . This type of modification might allow the mech to burst forth and move away explosively for an instant but the energy still came from the mech . It wasn't equipped with any additional device . Therefore, the other party wouldn't have gotten too far away .
A typical person would have already given up as the target had already disappeared within sight . However, Wang Zheng wouldn't . He was just like the king of the wolves on the icy plain as he pursued his prey relentlessly . Moreover, Wang Zheng's speed and stamina were both better than Bartley .
Both of them were of Earth Grade . However, Wang Zheng knew clearly that Bartley wasn't as good as Heaven . Heaven had been executing various missions to maintain his form . However, Bartley had probably been corrupted badly by alcohol, women and wealth . With this judgment in mind, Wang Zheng was even less likely to let this guy off .
Bartley had also not expected this guy to be still pestering him . What he was afraid of wasn't Wang Zheng but those ice beasts . The battle prowess of these ice beasts was really high and they weren't afraid of dying . He had not expected someone from Elite Academy was able to actually control these ice beasts .
However, there was a point where he was wrong . Wang Zheng couldn't control the ice beasts . If he could, he wouldn't have to spend so much effort . It was just that the ice beasts were close to him and treated him as their kind . Moreover, the ice beasts hated humans innately and especially pirates which had an aura of oppression around them . If they had entered the territory of the ice beasts, it would be equivalent to seeking their own deaths .
However, the ice beasts didn't follow Wang Zheng and Wang Zheng still had to depend on himself . Conqueror α could already see the Wargod mech in front of him .
The speed of the other party was indeed decreasing . Wang Zheng accelerated with all his might . Conqueror α's speed on the ice left a trail akin to an icy dragon .
Bartley knew that he couldn't run away and might as well just stop . From his vision, he also saw that behind the mech, there weren't any of those disgusting ice beasts .
If it was just this brat, things would be different .
The Wargod mech unsheathed its beam saber . Bartley regulated his breathing and started to gather his Ability X . If he didn't get rid of this kid, he would really be embarrassed . Only with his head could he expunge the shame he experienced .
The Conquerer was sprinting all along and had unsheathed its beam saber . Seeing that the other party had already given up on escaping, a smirk also appeared on the edge of Wang Zheng's mouth . What a great opportunity for him to train and test himself!
Wang Zheng's advancement was entirely because he had driven himself into a fatal condition and emerged alive subsequently . This wasn't the first time and wouldn't be the last .
The Conqueror leapt into the sky . In mid-air, cold rays were emanating from the beam saber in all direction . As Wang Zheng slashed the saber down, Bartley struggled for a moment . His beam saber shot out golden rays as his Wargod advanced abruptly and explosively .
Boom…
The Conqueror was knocked back and the Wargod was pushed back to its original position .
The other party was no doubt of Earth Grade . The other party's Ability X had invaded the internals of the mech directly and almost broke through Wang Zheng's defense . Without a doubt, the Metal element of the 5 minor elements had the most destructive and sharp aura and was the strongest in a straight up offence . If this wasn't Aisbotan, Bartley would have been at an advantage by now .
Bartley was also surprised . He had used 80% of his strength in that strike and yet it couldn't break through the other party's defense .
From the feeling of his aura, this kid was at most at the boundary of C rank and had not entered B rank . Yet he was able to withstand such a head-on collision . However, Bartley soon understood that they were in Aisbotan, the perfect environment for Ice attribute Ability X users .
If he was depending on the help of the external world, Bartley would like to see how long he could last .
Bartley's senses truly didn't sense any ice beasts and he was finally able to relax . This kid had probably lured them into the territory previously without any preparations and the ice beasts were only reacting to those with the intent to attack and kill . Thinking about it now, how could these monsters be controlled by a human? He had really scared himself .
After thinking about it, he also felt a little regretful . If he had kept his killing intent, his own guards would not have perished . This had caused him to be even more infuriated .
The Wargod erupted . The recovery speed of an Earth Grade master was clearly faster than Wang Zheng . The golden layer on the beam saber seemed to be burning . Metal Ability X was a little bit special and there were few circumstances where there would be a counter for this power . Although they were in Aisbotan where the Ice attribute Ability was stronger, Bartley felt a greater urge to squash the other party at the thought that he was teased by a kid .
Rumble…
Two mech warriors were fighting intensely on the endless snowfield . Bartley truly lived up to his name . He was a master before becoming a pirate . After becoming a pirate, he had experienced over 100 major and minor battles and could definitely be considered to be highly experienced . His strikes were more ruthless and his moves were unconventional but lethal . This was different from a typical sparring session between students or soldiers where they would be careful . Pirates would not care about it .
Their battle experiences were all built from killing .
Among offensive skills, Metal element Ability X was the sharpest and most invasive . Together with an advantage in Ability X, Bartley started to gain the upper hand . Physical techniques users were most afraid to encounter this type of Metal attribute Ability users . This wasn't simply a contest of who were stronger . Metal element Ability X was highly invasive and one had to guard against it . If they didn't, they would die even faster if they were invaded by the Ability X .
Luckily, Wang Zheng's Primordial Regression Technique had such defensive effects . Otherwise, he would be clearly at a disadvantage .
He was using guerilla warfare technique when battling Heaven . However, in this icy and snowy place, there wasn't any way to use a guerilla techniques . The other fact was that neither Bartley nor Wang Zheng had the time .
"Kid, your partners have been captured . One of them was called Ai Xiaolu . That girl looked rather young and tender . Do you know how I would deal with her?"
As he fought, Bartley started to incite the opponent . He realised that this kid was relatively hard to deal with . Although he had the advantage in Ability X, his Ability X did not have the expected effects . This brat seemed to be using some method to withstand the invasion of his Ability X . Nonetheless, Bartley was too experienced in battle and had other ways to disrupt the mind of the other party .
Wang Zheng didn't say a word . He couldn't determine if what the other party said was true or fake . This was because there was a high possibility that it was true . After blocking the opponent attack with the beam saber, a round of fresh attacks started launching towards Wang Zheng . Wang Zheng moved his body aside and after taking a gliding step, he slashed down backhandedly . Bartley's Wargod did not have any intention to dodge . Metal attribute element Ability X users were the least afraid of clashing head on with their opponent . Every contact was beneficial to them .
"I will strip this young and tender girl and trample on her entire body . After which . . . When I had enough of her, I would reward her to my subordinates and made her continue living in misery and happiness as she moans . Did you know how many strong-willed girls had eventually become broken? Hahahaha . "
Although he was impetuous while speaking, he was striking even faster . This was because Bartley was really thinking of such lewd things . This made him very excited and his body was filled with power . His domineering aura of his Metal ability became even more fearsome .
Wang Zheng had already been suppressed till he could only defend . Although Wang Zheng had the experience of going against an Earth Grade master, it was entirely different from the head-on clash now . During a mecha battle, other than a contest of control over the mecha, it would be the contest of Ability X . However at this level, due to the invasive destructive power of Ability X on the other pilot, control over one's mecha had become secondary . Nonetheless, the control of an Earth Grade master wouldn't be bad . The basic battle techniques of mecha weren't as complicated as one might imagined . It was especially so in practical battle where the simpler and more ruthless the better .
Those elegant cooperations during competition would likely not be able to be executed in practical battles .
Bartley's beam saber slashed down one after another . It was simple and direct and the move was quick . It was clear that he didn't want to give Wang Zheng the time to catch his breath . He was also chattering and insulting Ai Xiaolu non-stop with various lewd words . A teenager couldn't just take the insults without being agitated .
It was clear that Wang Zheng's strikes were getting faster but they were no longer as steady as before . Bartley didn't have to know it but could easily guess that with such strong strength, he must be one of the top in this batch of students . He couldn't be unfamiliar with Ai Xiaolu . The chances of conflict between a guy and girl were very low . They might even be interested in each other .
As long as Wang Zheng had started attacking, the opportunity would come . This kid's foundation was more solid than he could imagine .
Wang Zheng's frantic counterattack seemed to have an effect . Bartley seemed to be running out of stamina and was even retreating .
Wang Zheng's Conqueror mech leapt into the sky as he growled in mid-air . In mid-air he started to gather his Ability X on his beam saber and was preparing to finish the match with Bartley . Wang Zheng's imposing manner seemed just like the roar of the tiger and howling of the dragon .
A smirk was revealed on the side of Bartley's smile . A teenager was a teenager after all . The only important thing on the battlefield was to stay on alive . All other things were illusory .
His beam saber started shining brightly . He had totally disregarded Wang Zheng's beam saber and had lunged directly at the operating cabin of the conqueror mech .
Did he want to perish together?
However, battles were often decided in an instant . There was no time for one to react to it .
Wang Zheng also frowned . He obviously knew that the other party had such intentions and he was just playing along and pretended to be agitated . However, he had suddenly lost control of the left arm of the mech .
The mech was shaken fiercely by an external force and had shifted outwards . This had caused the beam saber to be off its target while Bartley beam saber with the burning Metal aura was coming straight at him . He had wanted to pierce Wang Zheng through his chest .
At this moment, Wang Zheng relied on his most-used techniques . Both of his eyes shot out a blinding light as the Primordial Regression Technique started circulating at high speed . This allowed him to forcefully control his mech under almost impossible circumstances .
The Conqueror made a creaking sound and forcefully made a side displacement that looked like an instantaneous movement as the beam saber went past him .
The mech flew out sideways . Bartley's Wargod immediately chased after Wang Zheng after making a turn . He was also very surprised that his almost lethal move was avoided .
Bartley was too careless . He had thought that victory was already in his hands but his mech seemed to be tripped by something and he had almost fallen down .
This was Wang Zheng's Ability X and a small technique from Old Zhuo . This type of small techniques might not be significant in a battle but was very useful .
Bartley smiled hideously . He forcefully controlled and stabilised his mech . This was interesting . He was able to take care of the small details at his age and even had the signs of entering Earth Grade . However, he would still have to die!
The mech rushed ahead strongly . With preparations, the sharp aura of the Metal attribute Ability could advance without hindrance . Bartley poured his power to the front of his mech and the Wargod dashed directly towards the Conqueror with an intention to kill .
Boom…
Wang Zheng's beam saber had forcefully defended this lethal strike .
