After the opening ceremony of the final competition, Qiao Zhiya called Chu Yan and Yuan Xiu to the trade area with a communicator, and led them into a mecha battle training room rented in advance.

“Qiao, what are you renting this for? There is a free mecha combat training room in Campus A, and Yuan Xiu and I can use it casually.” Chu Yan asked with confusion in his voice, feeling a little sour in his heart.

Renting a training room was not cheap, this one was the most high-end one, and naturally, the price was super expensive. Since Qiao really looked casual when renting it, that means his pocket money must be more than enough. Erge really has a ridiculous double-standard! 

Qiao Zhiya first turned off the video recording function in the training room, then took out a space button and put it in Chu Yan’s hand. With a smile, he said cheerfully, “Here, I promised to fix it for you.” 

“What is thi— huh? My energy blade? You really fixed it for me?” Chu Yan was so startled that he almost jumped up after seeing the contents of the space button. He looked at Qiao Zhiya, and then at the energy blade in the space button that seemed to have been restored to its original appearance. He rarely stuttered, but this time, he did, “You, how did you do it? I thought you…”

“Go and try it out, the competition is going to be tomorrow. So you should find out how it feels for you.” Qiao Zhiya urged, looking at Yuan Xiu again, and continued, “Xiao Xiu, help him try out the weapon. Don’t try it with your own weapon, use this training room’s normal standard weapons that are provided free.” The shadow of the giant sword smashing the table was still there, so he didn’t dare to gamble with Yuan Xiu’s weapons.

Yuan Xiu was still in shock, and asked in surprise, “Qiao, can you still repair mecha weapons?” 

‘Isn’t this guy in the direction of mechanical design? Isn’t it spiritually weak? Doesn’t he have a third-degree disability? Has the federal definition of a third-degree disability changed?’

“I just blindly repaired it, and I also asked the teacher for help…” Qiao Zhiya replied vaguely in embarrassment. 

Seeing this, Chu Yan hurriedly bluffed to divert his friend’s attention, took out his own mecha first, and shouted loudly while getting on the mecha, “Yuan Xiu, come quickly, help me to try the weapon.”

‘It turned out that there was a teacher to help…’ Yuan Xiu calmed down a little, looked at his friend’s gray mecha, and couldn’t help but roll his eyes. He reluctantly took out his mecha and got ready. He was used to be Chu Yan’s sparring partner, so he could do this on the fly. 

After the two got on the mechs, Yuan Xiu went to the side of the training field and picked up a standard weapon in his hand, while Chu Yan took out the energy blade. Chu Yan held it, waved it casually, and found that the feeling in his hand was not bad. Didn’t the energy blade break before? He was a little surprised that it looked flawless. 

At the beginning, when Qiao Zhiya said that he would help him repair the weapon, he gave it away without thinking it might be repaired perfectly. He didn’t want to break Qiao Zhiya’s confidence, so he put on a carefree face. He didn’t think that the blond youth would really repair it.

After all, Qiao has only been studying with mecha manufacturing for a short time, so he probably didn’t even recognize all the materials, and repairing weapons was too different from what he studied. That boy Xiang Kun has learned how to make mechas for so many years, but he could only check and repair the mechas on a daily basis and fix minor problems on the parts.

Qiao was already very good at being on this level for now. 

Thinking like this, he reached out to open the internal communication of the mecha, connected the voice with Yuan Xiu, then turned off the external speaker, and said, “Just hold the weapon and make casual gestures, don’t use too much force, so as not to damage this energy blade again. I don’t want Qiao to suffer.”

Yuan Xiu rolled his eyes again, turned off the loudspeaker tacitly, and replied, “Understood, then I will stand still, while you can use the weapon. You can decide how hard you use it.” 

“Okay.” After the two communicated, Yuan Xiu’s red mecha stood still, and only raised his weapon and assumed a defensive posture. While the gray mecha that Chu Yan was driving attacked him with an “aggressive” energy blade swing.

“Boom!” 

The two weapons collided without any sparks splashing, and then there was a sharp “crack” sound. One of the weapons cracked under pressure, broke in two, then the broken part flew directly due to the momentum and fell to the ground.

“…”

“…”

Chu Yan immediately panicked, “Ah, I’m sorry, Qiao! I broke the energy blade again with too much force, and it’s all my fault!” 

“No.” Yuan Xiu manipulated the mecha until it was in front of Chu Yan’s mecha. Then, he stretched out the standard weapon that was broken in half so Chu Yan could see it. He continued with an absentminded-look on his face, “It’s the weapon in my hand that broke. It’s gone.”

The gray mecha froze in place, slowly lowered its head, and looked at the intact energy blade in his hand.

‘…Oh my God, we seem to have seen a miracle.’

They did not turn on the external loudspeaker when they communicated, so in Qiao Zhiya’s eyes, the two mechas stood “intimately” together after the fight. They chatted while looking at the broken weapon, while Chu Yan’s mecha hand seemed to be waving the energy blade around. 

The energy blade was more powerful than he had imagined, and he let go of the shackle in his heart. Qiao Zhiya turned off the protective cover of the spectator seat, walked to the feet of the two mechas, turned on his speaker, and asked, “Xiao Yan, how does the energy blade feel? Are you still used to it?”

When repairing and strengthening the blade, Qiao Zhiya still used extra material that made the weight of the blade increase. He was afraid it would affect Chu Yan’s weapons balance when using it. 

The gray mecha looked down at him, paused for a while, and then Chu Yan’s voice came out, “It’s hard to say about the hand feel. Qiao, you go back to the spectator stand first, and I will try it with Yuan Xiu.” 

Qiao Zhiya nodded in understanding. He turned around and returned to the spectator seats, opened the protective cover, and continued to watch their battle.

Coaxing Qiao Zhiya back with excitement, Chu Yan hurriedly took out the replacement energy blade that Chu Rong bought for him and threw it to Yuan Xiu, saying, “Quick, let’s give it a good fight this time!”

Yuan Xiu also returned from his daze. Fascinated, eager to try, he caught the energy blade and said, “Okay! Let’s fight hard!”

After the two became serious, the level of the battle immediately became fierce. Qiao Zhiya, who didn’t know how to drive mechas at all, was very confused and couldn’t keep up with their movements. The speed of their attacks made the blond youth a little anxious – if he couldn’t see it clearly, he didn’t know how to objectively evaluate the strength of the magical array on the energy blade.

“bang bang bang!”

The sound of weapons clashing kept coming. After fighting for about five minutes, Chu Yan had completely adapted to the current feel of the energy blade, so he stopped restraining his strength and raised the energy blade to swing the weapon at Yuan Xiu with all his strength. He put all his weight into this one strike!

“Boom–!”

After the impact, there was a slight cracking sound, and the expensive energy blade in Yuan Xiu’s hand broke after it withstand Chu Yan’s attack for five minutes.

The two mechas stopped in tacit agreement, and looked at the broken energy blade on the ground in unison.

“This weapon is really…” Yuan Xiu was excited and jealous, not daring to say, “Is this really your custom-made energy blade? The power is too exaggerated. Don’t say that Xiang Kun has a secret weapon, even if his father has a secret weapon, it won’t be a match against yours!” 

“Hahaha, God has really helped me!”

Chu Yan was so excited that he laughed exaggeratedly, put away the energy blade, and then rushed down from the mecha. He ran towards Qiao Zhiya on the sidelines with excitement. With a jump, he hugged while babbling, “Qiao, you are amazing! The energy blade is completely fine! No, not only is it okay, it’s great! Great! This time I will definitely bring back the first place’s medal to show you!”

Infected by his emotions, Qiao Zhiya also became happy. The blond youth hugged him back, and encouraged him with a wide smile, “Well! I believe you will definitely get the first place.” 

Yuan Xiu stepped off his mecha, and looked at Chu Yan and Qiao Zhiya, who were happily hugging. He glanced at Qiao Zhiya’s beautiful and harmless appearance, and remembered his shy and soft speaking tone. He wiped the cold sweat on his face. 

‘Even with the help of a teacher, this level is still… of a monster…’
