Chapter 421: – Martial Arts and Mecha

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After finishing the first round, Chen Heng did not leave immediately. Instead, he went to the side and watched the other matches.

The other competitions were still not over. There were even many matches that had just begun.

After all, not everyone had the strength of Chen Heng and could quickly finish off their opponents.

If most of them wanted to win the competition, they would have to undergo a relatively long process. The strength of these people in front of him seemed to be just slightly above average.

According to Chen Heng’s feelings, the strength of most of the people here seemed to be very close. Except for a few people, the power level of most of the competitors was very close.

This also caused the duration of the competitions to be dragged out for a very long time.

Chen Heng was not surprised by this. He just stood there silently, waiting for results to appear.

Along the way, he was also observing the strength of the people around him.

However, what disappointed him was that there were basically no stronger people around him based on his observation.

Although those contestants weren’t weak, each of them was at the level of an apprentice. To Chen Heng, this was nothing worth his attention at all.

If it was just this level of strength, then it was likely that this competition would have no suspense. This couldn’t help but make Chen Heng feel a little disappointed.

It seemed that even if it was one of the best academies on this planet, the strength of the students here was only mediocre.

At least, that was how it was for Martial Artists. It was just that he still didn’t know how those Beastmasters would perform. At least for now, Chen Heng still hadn’t seen any real Beastmasters.

From its looks, just like him, the number of Beastmasters who would participate in this competition was relatively small.

Of course, it was also possible that they had participated, but they hadn’t appeared yet.

In the following period, the competition continued.

During this process, Chen Heng also continued to participate in a few rounds and defeat his opponents. The entire process was very swift, just like before.

The strength of those Martial Artists was mainly at the apprentice level, and even the number of First Ring Martial Artists was very few.

To deal with these students, Chen Heng didn’t need to use his telekinetic power at all. He could easily defeat them with just his own strength.

The whole process was too easy. However, he didn’t know that there were already people secretly observing him at this moment.

“It has been confirmed…”

In the room, Liu Rou looked at the projection on the screen in front of her, and a smile appeared on her face.

“This student Lu is indeed a Beastmaster. Moreover, he seemed to have received a commendation and entered the Mystic Realm a while ago.

“However, up until now, there have been five matches, but he didn’t even use his telekinetic power to defeat his opponent.

“His strength level is really strong.”

She looked at the visuals of Chen Heng attacking. Her eyes couldn’t help but flash with excitement.

“It seems that we have found the prodigy that the headquarters asked us to find.”

“Should we arrange some stronger opponents for him?”

Behind her, Liu Rou’s assistant said. Looking at the visual of Chen Heng in front of her, a bitter expression appeared on her face. “His strength is too strong compared to the other students.

“The few people we arranged prior didn’t even last a few moves before he finished them off.

“His strength seems to have long surpassed the limits of an Official Martial Artist. He should have the strength equivalent to an Official First Ring Martial Artist.”

“Not only is he a Beastmaster, but he’s also a First Ring Martial Artist.”

Liu Rou nodded, very satisfied. “Not bad, not bad at all.”

“When we get back, check this student Lu’s background. See if anyone else has placed a bet?”

“If it’s possible, let’s choose Lu as the student to be invested in this time.”

She opened her mouth and said. Looking at the scene when Chen Heng made his move, the more she looked, the more satisfied she became.

This time, they wanted to hold a competition in Dragon City Academy, besides hoping to make their name known, to find a few prodigies from the academy who had enough potential that they would invest in.

And now, it seemed that they had found a worthy target.

In their eyes, Chen Heng was an absolute potential stock.

At least from the current performances, although he couldn’t be considered the best, he was still considered an absolute prodigy.

At such a young age, not only did his martial arts cultivation surpass that of an Official Martial Artist, but he was also a Beastmaster with the talent of a beast taming.

He would undoubtedly be very outstanding no matter where such a talent was placed.

Looking at Chen Heng, they couldn’t help but feel a little excited. At this moment, it was as if they were looking at a future star that was slowly rising.

And in front of the stage, Chen Heng was still standing there.

Chen Heng casually pushed his opponent back, causing him to fall off the stage. He then walked down from the stage. This was already his fifth match.

He had already competed in five matches in a whole half a month’s time.

This frequency could be considered very dense.

If it wasn’t for the organizers providing the best healing fluid and various other equipment for the participants to recover, most participants’ bodies might not be able to take it.

After all, a competition like this would consume a lot of energy.

There would be a huge problem no matter what, and some hidden injuries might be left behind.

With such a high frequency in a short period, the possibility of problems would be even greater.

However, with the help of specialized equipment, the possibility of problems could be minimized.

Chen Heng did not have any of these problems. To him, his opponents were too weak and could not bring him any injuries.

However, he took this opportunity to seriously experience the various equipment in this world.

During the past half a month, he had gained a considerable understanding of the technological level of this world.

Just from the current situation, the technology of this world was undoubtedly very high.

It could be said that this world’s technology was the highest among all the worlds that Chen Heng had experienced.

Human civilization had long stepped out of their home planet in this world and started to interact with other civilizations in the galaxy.

Under this background, according to Chen Heng’s understanding, ordinary Martial Artists should not be of much use.

After all, ordinary Martial Artists were only mediocre in strength. It was fine if they were at a higher level, but those ordinary so-called Official Martial Artists could only bully other ordinary people.

In the face of firearms and cannonballs, these so-called Martial Artists were very weak and couldn’t be of much use.

From this point of view, in this world, the so-called Martial Artists should only be an ordinary occupation in this world, so there was no need to pay too much attention to them.

But in reality, in this world, those martial artists were extremely valued existences.

Becoming a Martial Artist had advantages in various aspects and could also receive relevant subsidies.

It could be said that they were very much valuable.

In the beginning, Chen Heng was still somewhat puzzled about this situation. He didn’t understand how this kind of situation appeared.

It was only after this period of understanding that he understood.

Ordinary Martial Artists were indeed insignificant to the civilization that had walked into the starry skies.

But in this world, there was a unique weapon that required the cooperation of Martial Artists to be effective. That was the Galaxy Mecha.

The Galaxy Mecha was a unique product of this world. It was said that it was the crystallization of the most advanced technology of the civilization. It could increase a person’s strength to the greatest extent and maximize its power.

In theory, even if it was just an ordinary person who could truly control a Galaxy Mecha, they could also erupt with terrifying power. They could easily slaughter an army of 100 people.

If a Martial Artist equipped a mecha, then their strength would be even stronger.

An Official Martial Artist who was equivalent to an Apprentice Knight, under normal circumstances, would just be a matter of a few bullets.

However, if it were an Official Martial Artist who was wearing a Galaxy Mecha, then only another Official Martial Artist who was wearing a Galaxy Mecha would be able to stop it.

Otherwise, unless new powerful high-damage weapons appeared, they would definitely not be able to repel it.

It was precisely because of the unique existence of the Galaxy Mecha that the status of Martial Artists in this world was pushed to such a high level.

It was precisely because of this that the Dragon City Academy would recruit many Martial Artists.

According to the information from the memories of his predecessor, those senior students in the Dragon City academy had often already begun to try to control the mecha and hone their own potential, improving their compatibility with the mecha.

This was also a situation that Chen Heng had only recently realized.

“Merging mecha and Martial Artists into one, how interesting…”

Standing on the spot, recalling the information in his mind, Chen Heng’s face revealed a smile. At this moment, this thought flashed through his mind.

In the past, he had also experienced many worlds, many of which had their own unique power systems.

However, just like this world, merging technology and martial arts into one, allowing mecha and martial artists to cooperate, this was the first time he had seen it.

At the same time, a question couldn’t help but arise in his heart at this moment.

“A Martial Artist can combine with a mecha in the later stages and unleash extremely terrifying power…”

At the moment, Chen Heng’s expression was calm as he thought silently in his heart, “If a Martial Artist can do this, then what about a Beastmaster?”

In this world, the identity of a Beastmaster was far stronger than that of a martial artist.

Then, since a martial artist could cooperate with a Mecha and unleash such terrifying power, then what kind of power could a Beastmaster with a status far higher than a Martial Artist unleash?

Chen Heng was looking forward to this very much.

No matter what, since in this world, the status of a Beastmaster was far higher than that of a Martial Artist.

Then presumably, in reality, the power of a Beastmaster should also be far greater than that of a Martial Artist, right?

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain the difference in status.

It couldn’t be given away for free, right.

Chen Heng thought so.

In addition, the competition had already reached a certain level.

According to Chen Heng’s understanding of the situation, the next match would be the semi-finals after today.

Presumably, he would be able to meet some stronger opponents at that time.

He couldn’t help but feel some anticipation in his heart at this moment. He even quickened his footsteps.

Although he had made a few moves during this period of time, those opponents were undoubtedly weaklings in his eyes.

Fighting with them wasn’t of many benefits to Chen Heng.

At this moment, Chen Heng only hoped that the next opponents would be more interesting.

It would also allow him to have a clearer understanding of the strength of the students in the academy.

Under such expectations, Chen Heng became somewhat motivated.

Even the work in the slaughterhouse became even more intense, killing over a hundred rare beasts in one go.

The slaughterhouse manager who was watching from the side could not help but wipe his sweat.

Soon, it was time for the competition again. Compared to before, the place became even more lively.

Because now, this competition had reached its most heated and most exciting time.

Hundreds of participants were continuously eliminated, and in the end, there were less than ten contestants left.

However, on the day of the competition, Chen Heng was surprised to find that the number of contestants seemed to have increased.

Before this, he had roughly calculated.

According to the previous competition method, less than ten contestants could pass the test in the end. But now, there were three more contestants inside.

The appearance of the three people looked unique.

One of them was a burly man with a scar on his face and a fur coat on his body. His face was fierce, and he was obviously not someone to be trifled with.

Beside the burly man, a young man in a black robe stood there like a noble young master. He was handsome, and he always had a faint smile on his face. His actions were very elegant.

As for the last person, it was a woman.

The woman did not look too old. She was only in her early twenties. She was dressed in a capable body-binding suit. She was tall and slender, but her expression was very cold.

The three of them stood there. Just their aura and aura alone did not fit in with the other people around them.

Chen Heng noticed the expressions of the other people around him.

After seeing the figures of these three people, the expressions of the other people around them seemed to change. Faintly, voices could be heard.

“It’s Qi Lin, Rui Te, Yang Ke, the three of them…”

“Damn it…”

“Did the organizers invite all three of them to this competition?”

“How much did they spend?”

They were whispering to each other, and their voices kept coming out.

Hearing these voices, Chen Heng subconsciously frowned. He looked at the three of them out of the corner of his eyes and could already sense that they were unusual.

From the looks of it, even in this academy, the three people in front of him should be ruthless characters and had quite a good reputation.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have such a performance.
