Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: MX's Unique Style: Beyond Conventional Mecha Tactics

The Dawnbreaker said slowly, "You will understand when the time comes.

For Matthew, this incident was just a small hiccup in his life that didn't make too many waves.

Matthew loved his current life, which was full of fun and challenges. It seemed like he was born to fight, and the fun of piloting different mechs and fighting all kinds of people gave him the greatest satisfaction! When he was exhausted from fighting, he would go for a walk in the Asdaq neighborhood and chat with the old people. After leaving the virtual network, he would perform various daily training, and compared to the past when he spent every day in boredom, his current life made Matthew feel fulfilled and enjoyable.

The list of tasks Xiao had given him that day, Matthew had already completed most of them!

Matthew had never talked to others before, and he had no idea what a striking figure he had become.MX - this Mechmaster who had suddenly appeared in this Forgotten Galaxy Mechmaster Awareness Training Base, he had become the hottest topic.

Matthew began to attract attention during his match with Needlewood Shield.

Needlewood Shield, ranked ninety-third on the Oblivion Galaxy Mech Awareness Training Base's combat power ranking, his mech was called "Hedgehog of the Magnificent Sharpness," and he had a unique fighting style, powerful strength, and many followers. His unique fighting style was powerful, and he had many followers. Each of his matches attracted many people to watch!

The competition ended with Matthew winning.

If Matthew had just won, people might have been impressed with him, but they wouldn't have been too surprised; after all, even the number one ranked Aurora's Son had lost his matches, and it wasn't uncommon for the number eighty ranked Needlewood's Shield to lose a match or two every now and then.

But what surprised people the most was: Matthew's Mecha was actually Laila.

Laila, commonly known as G.I. Joe, was the low-end configuration of humanoid mechs, with thick armor and excellent defense, but relatively low speed and agility. The high-speed, long-range shooting tactics that were now commonplace were the nemesis of this type of mech, so people who used Laila mechs were already very rare.

As Matthew took his Laila out onto the field, boos rang out from the stands. After all, the Needlewood Shield's Hedgehog of the Magnificent mech was a high-level mech, and there was not a single person in the top two hundred of the Battle Power Ranking who used a low-level configuration mech.

Of course, this common sense was too profound for Matthew, who didn't know much about the situation.

As for Laila, Matthew was quite fond of her. Not only was it the first humanoid mecha he had piloted in the training base, but it also shared similarities with Wendy and was faster than the older Wendy, which made him feel very satisfied. For a high-level mecha against a low-level mecha, like a heavily armed soldier against a farmer, this match was without any tension, and everyone in the audience thought so, and there were even quite a few who thought that Laila would inevitably lose.

However, the intensity of the match and the final result surprised everyone! Laila actually took the initiative to attack, wasn't that a death wish? The audience couldn't help but laugh.

The next scene left everyone stunned! The massive Laila was so agile! It quickly spun around the "Hedgehog of the Magnificent," each blow causing the Needlewood Shield to scramble, but it was never able to get a step closer to Laila.

Who was the truly advanced mecha?

Had this Laila been modified and its engine replaced? Even if it was a modified mecha, it was too unbelievable for the Needle Forest Shield to be defeated without a fight!

However, this was the actual situation. Matthew's Laila had suppressed Needle Forest Shield's "How Sharp the Hedgehog", but it had to be admitted that Needle Forest Shield's defensive skills were far superior, and its sword-and-shield combination had a huge advantage in defense, constantly blocking, unloading, twisting, crashing, and slamming, and each of its strikes was as sharp as a needle, making it difficult to deal with.

Matthew didn't give the Shield of Needle Forest a chance, he didn't panic and acted calmly.

This incredible fight was immediately recorded by many people, and almost as soon as the fight ended, the holographic video went viral on the discussion forums, quickly rising to the top of the popularity list.

Upon closer inspection, almost everyone was impressed by MX's superior skill. MX's Layla had not been modified, was the unanimous conclusion. Although MX's speed had always remained at the highest level of Layla's, his positioning was extremely reasonable, and his instantaneous change of direction was extremely fast, often shifting to the most appropriate position before the Needlewood Shield struck, giving people the illusion that MX's Layla was even better than the Needlewood Shield's "Hedgehog of the Bold Rays".

Laila's bulk seemed to be an advantage that MX could use. According to the Mech's calculations, every time MX attacked, the direction of the sword was exactly the same as the direction of Laila's own impulse, which meant that each of MX's attacks contained a huge amount of kinetic energy. Laila was like an extremely heavy hammer, and her sword was like a nail in the hammer that was constantly being swung, a scenario that one would find frightening.

At present, whether it was a combat-type mech or a shooting mech, controlling speed was crucial. Controlling the Mech at high speeds became extremely difficult even if it was equipped with a powerful light brain; generally speaking, when the Mech's speed exceeded 70% of its maximum speed, the difficulty of controlling the Mech would increase exponentially. And to make such nimble movements at the highest speed made the Mechs watching the holographic video feel immense awe.

And an even more frightening discovery came next. A mech master carefully counted that in just three seconds and over a distance of one hundred meters, MX had made eight sudden low angle changes! The result shocked everyone!

Low angle steering was one of the most difficult but practical techniques for speed-type mechs, and almost all mechs knew it. But for MX to do it eight times in a row in such a short amount of time was incredible. Low-angle turns at high speed were extremely taxing on a Mech's body, and that taxing increased dramatically with speed and the number of turns.

Eight consecutive low angle turns in three seconds! How on earth did this happen? Some people began to wonder, could it be a super-mutant monkey controlling the Mech inside?

A data error? Impossible! The system would directly detect an error, and if the movement could not be accomplished in reality, it would be impossible to realize it here.

Could the human body really reach such a powerful level?

Many people began to pay attention to this confusing MX, but the later competition pushed the hearts of all the spectators to an unprecedented test.
