Chapter 92 Chasing Meng Rui!
Wang Xing did not hesitate at all.
He ripped the towel off his neck, grabbed the Xingyuan terminal on his wrist, and directly dialed Wang Yangming's encrypted communication.
The virtual projection screen flickered in mid-air for two seconds before lighting up.
In the video, Wang Yangming is sitting in a maintenance room filled with mechanical parts, holding a huge pneumatic wrench, his face covered in lubricant.
"Ah Xing? Why are you calling me at this hour instead of sleeping...?"
Wang Yangming had just made a joke when he caught a glimpse of Wang Xing's soaked clothes and those unsettlingly bright eyes out of the corner of his eye. His expression immediately darkened, and he abruptly put down the wrench he was holding. "Something happened?"
"Senior, Meng Rui just attacked me."
Wang Xing's voice was as calm as a knife that had just been quenched in water.
"What?!" Wang Yangming slammed his hand on the table and stood up. "Is he crazy? Where is he? There were no alarms at the security perimeter set up by the Yuanfang Bureau and the school. How did he get in?"
"Dream".
Wang Xing quickly and concisely recounted everything that had just happened in the "dream."
From the eerie gray fog ruins to the heavily armored, mutated mech piloted by Meng Rui, covered in black, fleshy tentacles, and finally, the earth-shattering counterattack.
"...I used the hidden force of the Myriad Manifestations Prajna Divine Power to shatter the single eye of his mecha with a single punch. In the instant the dream collapsed, I could vaguely feel that at least a third of his spiritual core had been destroyed by me."
beep--!!
There was only deathly silence on the other end of the communicator.
Wang Yangming froze on the spot. The half-empty can of energy drink in front of him accidentally fell to the floor with a "thud," spilling the pale yellow liquid all over the floor, but he was completely unaware.
"You...you say that again?"
Wang Yangming's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, his voice shrill and distorted with extreme shock: "You crippled Meng Rui... a black-armored old dog whose Qi and mecha were both at level 20, just one step away from crossing the threshold of 'Six Armor Disciple', in a dream?! And you even shattered a third of his brain?!"
"Yes."
I can't tell him about the Divine Tiger Microparticles... Wang Xing nodded, choosing to keep the matter of the Divine Tiger Microparticles a secret:
"I don't know why, but after entering that dream, it was a completely unknown area that I had never set foot in before, but my mental strength had an absolute advantage in the dream."
Wang Yangming on the other end of the phone was clearly silent for a long time.
"Genius, genius..."
"You're a fucking freak, an unreasonable monster!"
"Wang Xing, do you know what that means? You're absolutely the first person in high school to reach this level of mental strength! Forget Chengdu, forget Sichuan province, you're absolutely unique!"
Wang Yangming couldn't help but swear and scratched his hair hard.
It's important to understand that, under the guidance of the mecha college entrance exam, all resources in high school are focused on the compatibility between the character's internal energy and the mecha.
Mental strength, also known as brain activity, is an ethereal and intangible thing that is extremely difficult to improve on its own due to the lack of systematic guidance techniques.
Only by passing the college entrance examination and entering those top mecha universities will the cultivation of mental strength be officially opened to students as a core subject.
In other words, the mecha high school students didn't cultivate their mental power at all.
Because your level and rank are insufficient, there's absolutely no need to cultivate spiritual power...
Moreover, if you study mecha qi and blood in high school, you will still have a place to use your skills even if you don't get into a mecha university in the future... If you spend a lot of time studying mental power in high school, it will be a waste of time if you don't get into a mecha university in the future.
Therefore, the mental strength of high school students is almost negligible.
Before this, Wang Xing was just an ordinary kid from an ordinary family. All his time was devoted to cultivating his qi and blood and mecha... He simply didn't have any time to cultivate his mental strength.
However, Wang Xing, without any spiritual treasures or techniques to assist him, actually managed to cripple a long-established master in a battle of wits by relying solely on his own spiritual strength!
How terrifying must this guy's basic mental strength talent be?
"Phew... Calm down, calm down."
Wang Yangming took a few deep breaths, forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart.
"Wang Xing, you've really helped me a lot this time!"
"What do you mean?" Wang Xing asked.
"Meng Rui, that old fox, is as cunning as an eel. The mutant modifications he handles all skirt the edge of the law. Although we mecha hunters and the Abyss Defense Bureau are keeping an eye on him, we have been struggling to find strong evidence to take direct action against him in the city."
Wang Yangming sneered, his eyes revealing a murderous intent:
"But this time, he used the Black Armor Alliance's most infamous forbidden technique—the [Dream Devouring Soul Technique]! This technique requires the nerve tentacles of Black Abyss demons as a medium, which, under Federal law, is an absolutely unforgivable first-degree felony!"
"If you go to the Abyss Defense Bureau now for a mental residual fluctuation (quantum entanglement spectrum) test, we can get an ironclad arrest warrant! No... now we don't even need an arrest warrant. We can kill these dangerous elements suspected of Abyss contamination on the spot!"
"So you forced him to use the Illusionary Dream Soul Devouring Technique... which is equivalent to him exposing himself. I waited for months, and finally I found a reason to arrest him."
Wang Xing's eyes lit up: "Senior, can we find him? Meng Rui isn't stupid. He knows that he failed to kill me in the dream, so he'll definitely try to escape."
"Are you kidding me?"
Wang Yangming scoffed: "The Tian Shu Hunter organization has long since used quantum sniffers to locate Meng Rui's several secret strongholds in the old city. His modification workshop, his three secret strongholds, and the black market trading points he frequents are all on our surveillance network. We were hesitant to act before, but now I'm leading a team to raid his hideout."
"As long as they don't use spatial magic, they can't escape! Of course, if they do use spatial magic, there's nothing we can do..."
"Give me the address, I'll go with you."
Wang Xing immediately said.
"Alright! I'll be waiting for you at the old shipyard maintenance depot on Third Avenue. Bring your docking terminal; tonight, we're going to dismantle that old dog's bones!"
The communication was disconnected.
Wang Xing rolled over and got out of bed.
Head straight to the destination.
…………
at the same time.
In the old town, near the outlet of a sewage pipe at an abandoned chemical plant.
"Damn it! Damn Sun Donglai!!"
As Chen Mo supported the somewhat delirious Meng Ruishen, they stumbled and ran wildly through the stinking mud, all the while he cursed at the top of his lungs.
"If it weren't for that ungrateful wretch who stole the 'space decay worms' we finally managed to acquire, we would have already used space warp to reach the docking submarine in the open sea! Why would we be here running around like two stray dogs on foot?!"
"Shut up……"
Meng Rui was being supported by Chen Mo. His face was as pale as a dead man, and thick black blood was still seeping from his ears and nostrils.
The excruciating pain of having a third of his brain torn apart made every word seem to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "My brain is damaged and my mental strength has plummeted... Even if, even with high-precision spatial teleportation technology... I probably won't be able to stay in mid-air completely."
"Let's go to... the third container yard in the northern suburbs. The Dark Tuo people are there to meet us... He has 'Space Mayflies,' and as long as we can locate the rift in the subspace, we can escape... we can escape into the subspace rift, where the Black Armor Alliance's base is located, where we can hide..."
Sudden.
"Waaaaah—!!"
A piercing and high-pitched air raid siren abruptly tore through the deathly silence of the old town's night sky.
In the sky, several beams of searchlight, as bright as day, swept straight down from thousands of meters above, instantly illuminating the abandoned chemical plant ruins in minute detail.
"Warning! Black Armor Alliance members below, listen up! You have violated the Federal Law Enforcement Regulations and the Emergency Act on the Prevention of Abyss Contamination!"
"Immediately disarm all external weapons, put your hands behind your head, and crouch down on the spot! Otherwise, you will be dealt a devastating blow on the spot!!"
High in the sky, several "Falcon-type" heavy airships bearing the insignia of the Chengdu Defense Army and the Yuanfang Bureau have slowly descended.
The violent airflow whipped up the puddles and trash on the ground, sending them swirling everywhere.
Dozens of military-grade "Guardian" mechs, armed with high-energy shock guns and under the cover of searchlights, are closing in from all directions.
"Damn it! How did they get here so fast?!"
Chen Mo was completely pale at this moment.
"It was Wang Xing's mental backlash... that directly exposed my bio-wave coordinates..."
A chilling malice and madness flashed in Meng Rui's eyes. He endured the excruciating pain in his mind, which felt like a thousand needles piercing him, summoned his mecha, shoved Chen Mo aside, and clasped his hands together tightly.
The body's vital energy and remaining spiritual power were frantically squeezed out in that instant!
"Earth Shatter... Reconstruction Escape Technique!!"
Rumble!!
With a loud shout from Meng Rui, a somewhat incomplete green heavy armor phantom faintly appeared in the void behind him.
The soil and concrete on the ground seemed to turn into flowing liquid in that instant, instantly enveloping him and Chen Mo's bodies.
Before a barrage of bullets and high-energy beams could fall, the ground suddenly contracted, and the two figures vanished instantly into the depths of the earth.
As a quasi-sixth-level disciple of the Black Armor Alliance, Meng Rui possesses countless hidden skills.
He used the gravity and magnetic field resonance of the distorted mecha to forcibly open a temporary, unobstructed passage deep into the earth.
But for him, whose brain is currently damaged, this is undoubtedly like drinking poison to quench his thirst.
"puff--!!"
1,500 meters away, there was an abandoned container yard overgrown with weeds.
The mud churned, and Meng Rui and Chen Mo tumbled out of the ground in a disheveled state.
As soon as he landed, Meng Rui coughed up a mouthful of black blood mixed with fragments of internal organs. He collapsed to his knees in agony, his hands digging into the hard ground, his nails cracking and bleeding profusely.
"Damn it... damn it... my nerve center, which I fused with the Exploding Demon Spider's, is melting..."
Meng Rui growled in pain, the excruciating pain in his brain making it almost impossible for him to stay conscious, to the point that his voice revealed an unprecedented fear.
"This is no good... A third of my brain has shattered... My mental strength... I can't even control the Earth Escape Technique..."
He suddenly raised his head, looked at the gray sky, and let out a mournful laugh: "Hahahaha... I, Meng Rui... a quasi-Sixth-Grade Disciple... a commoner steward of the Black Armor Alliance in Rongcheng... have actually been forced to this point by an eighteen-year-old brat..."
Laughter echoed across the riverbank, like the howl of a wounded beast.
Chen Mo stood aside, not daring to speak.
He had never seen Meng Rui like this before. This man, who was always strategizing and always confident, was now lying on the ground like a lump of mud, bleeding from all seven orifices, looking like a madman.
He asked timidly, "Can...we still walk?"
Meng Rui's laughter stopped abruptly.
He looked at Chen Mo, whose distorted and modified eyes were now bloodshot, like two burning will-o'-the-wisps.
"Of course I have to go! Even if I have to crawl, I'll crawl to the Space Mayfly. Dark Tuo is still waiting for me, the Black Armor Alliance is still waiting for me. As long as I'm alive, there's a chance to turn the tide. That kid Wang Xing..."
"Okay! Meng Rui, we still have a chance. We're almost there. Hang in there a little longer..."
Before Chen Mo could finish speaking, his voice suddenly caught in his throat.
Then, like a duck with its neck being choked, he stared blankly at the night sky in front of him.
"call--!!"
A sharp, piercing sound, accompanied by a suffocatingly violent gust of air, hurtled down from the heavens!
It was a huge metal cylinder, completely black, with dark red lava patterns carved on it!
"clang--!!"
The metal pillar slammed heavily in front of the two of them.
It smashed a solid reinforced concrete road surface several meters thick to pieces, and then cracks spread wildly like a spider web.
The violent mental shockwave blasted several surrounding shipping containers back several meters!
【Demon Ape Staff】!
Before Chen Mo and Meng Rui could recover from the terrifying shock, a colossal object, accompanied by a blazing blue tail flame, crashed down from the sky like a meteorite!
"Bang!!"
The earth trembled violently.
It was a black mecha over five meters tall, with smooth lines and an explosive, muscular aesthetic.
【Hunting Demon Ape Mech】!
But unlike before, the dark alloy armor surface of this demonic ape mech was now covered with a layer of azure light, flowing like liquid.
The water radiance emitted a soft yet profound light in the night, and faintly, the roar of waves crashing against the rocks seemed to emanate from the mecha's body.
This is Wang Yangming's extraordinary encounter—the Great Ocean Mecha Technique!
Furthermore, he incorporated the [Great Ocean Mecha Technique] into his [Celestial Demon Ape Mecha].
These two seemingly incompatible things have merged perfectly and coexisted together.
When the gentle flow of water and the violent power of the demonic ape merged perfectly, the pressure emanating from this mecha even subtly surpassed that of Meng Rui in his prime.
Within the massive, hydraulically cushioned steel embrace of this imposing demonic ape mech, a person is being held.
A young man dressed in a black hoodie, with eyes as cold as knives, Meng Rui, jumped out of the embrace of the demonic ape mech and landed on a building ruin in front of the two of them.
"Splash..."
The moment he landed, the boy summoned his mecha from the Abyss Pattern.
It's Wang Xing!
It's the Tiger-type mech!
"Boss Meng, why are you rushing around in the middle of the night? Where are you headed?"
Wang Xing spoke coldly.
The sound echoed in the empty freight yard, carrying an absolute chill!
