The Geared Immortal

Chapter 428

/*unedited*/

The first battle has enthralled the audience in the arena and mane wanted to see more. Of course, they have to wait as the stadium is being set up by the basic Mech Frame construction team. The stadium is now is abuzz with discussion as many experts and news agencies began to discuss the future application of such a display of prowess.

Everyone can tell the truth on the claim that, these things were stolen tech from the Li Clan. This is because NXT Element Company was the first one to display such tech and the claim was just a farce. It would seem that the one that the Li clan made were just cheap imitations.

But of course, none would voice this out for fear of offending the giant that is the Li clan. Everyone would just enjoy the spectacle that the two teams would show.

After around 15 minutes of entertainment where famous singers have entertained the audiences, the stadium once again darkened.

When the light appears, everyone can see a huge platform in the middle of the huge stadium. This is the second stage, the deathmatch battle.

Then from the side, everyone can see the entrance of each team. Once again the Jishulong mech from the Li clan with their impressive heavy mechs enters the area. However, as the last adjustment, they made the two small mechs agile enough to mimic human movements.

The two running mechs immediately impressed the audience watching the scene.

"With that movement, they can now fight against the NXT Element mechs. This would be a good fight."

"Haha… That is still not fast enough."

"Look at that speed… I wonder how sturdy is the metal they used in those mechs?"

"The NXT Element Company has also come out. It seems that they change their weaponry to close-range combat. Both mechs only have shields and sword on their arsenal."

"Isn't this a bit disadvantageous to them… their enemy is armed to the teeth."

"Haha… what do you know? You've seen how my idol Park Jiyong fought, right? Those guys are not his match."

"Yeah, plus the other guy is a good sniper. Maybe they have something hidden in their hands."

The audience began to give out their impression of the teams coming out. As they watch in awe of the impressive looking mechs walking towards the lower part of the new battle arena.

'Ladies and Gentlemen, this is the second match… the deathmatch.'

'The decision was given that the fight would be 2 vs 1.'

'First mech pilots are…'

Park Jiyong was the first to enter the arena platform while waving his hands to the crowd. When the people saw this almost all of them shouted and cheered.

"Thank you guys for your support! I love you all…" Park Jiyong said in his speaker.

With his words, the people erupted in a cheer.

"That is the son of Mr. Park, right? He is a great mech pilot. I didn't expect that such a weak-looking guy is this good." A male celebrity said to the person sitting beside him.

"I know, I heard he is working for NXT Element Company now… I guess his parents wanted him to learn new techs from them, right?"

"Does this mean that the Parks are going to expand their business again… Damn."

The rich people began to clamor upon recognizing Park Jiyong from the first match. As part of the upper circle of the society, everyone is familiar with Park Jiyong and his family. His father is a self-made billionaire and his mother is a socialite that belongs to one of the richest families in the country. Hence one of their sons who always keep a low profile is still known to their circle.

Meanwhile, in the VIP viewing area, Susan Tang is already talking to many companies wanting to purchase such mechs. Many are more interested in the construction mechas as they are more useful than those doing battles, which are only useful for the military.

Lin Qintang is gritting his teeth in anger as he throws daggers at the two women happily chatting with many people in the business sector.

"Hey, why the long face? We are still interested in your tech. Although they are slower than those from the NXT Element Company, they are still easy to build and repair…" a man suddenly patted Lin Qintang's shoulder.

"Of course, that is the result of the project of the five clans of China." Suddenly a man in his 40's said with a smile while approaching the two.

"Oh, if it isn't Mr. Wei… So this is just a show then?"

"Nah, it seems that the Li clan had some squabble with the people from the NXT Element Company. However, I hope that this is the end of it. I don't want to see the prestigious Li clan falling to their knees just because of a small company." The man called Mr. Wei said while giving Lin Qintang a knowing look.

"Yes, patriarch Wei…" Lin Qintang said with a dejected face.

"Then return the hostages… if not, the other clans would not look favorably of this matter."

It was a warning from Yu Wei, the representative of the 5 great clans of china. His words are the decision of all the 5 clans and their heads. Although the Li clan is powerful they still could not stand against the other clans which are equally as powerful as them.

And so, Lin Qintang didn't have a choice but to relay these words to the Li clan.

Unknown to Shin Jiao and the rest, Shi Anne Li's problem is already half-solved just because of the display from Park Jiyong. When the clans watching this scene saw the movement and agility of the mechs, they knew that they could not face such a technology.

So instead of throwing their weight around, they decided to have a partnership with the small company. This is because it is for the greater good of the country.

…

On the Arena

Park Jiyong is now facing two mechs a small and a tall mech armed with weapons and missiles.

The two groups had a tense feeling between them. Park Jiyong is feeling tense not because of fear but out of excitement. He has practiced swordsmanship with Shin Jiao in his free time and had learned most of the movements through virtual reality. Hence he is confident of getting his fill of actual practice in this face to face battle.

'Start!'

The voice of Central rang out which immediately broke the tension and became an all our war.

Boom! Bratatat!

Swoosh!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The platform was immediately lighted with fire and explosion. The raining hail of bullets and missiles covered the platform with large holes and turning them in ruins. The whole area was immediately within a dark gray dust cloud that made visibility almost impossible for the pilots.

However, the audience can see what is happening due to the silhouette of the mechs inside the dust cloud.

"OMG is that even possible!"

"That was sick! How can such a thing move like that?"

"Damn it! My idol is really amazing!"

"Go Park Jiyong! Go Park Jiyong!"

The crowd began cheering after the sound of the gunfire and explosion died. Everyone is watching as they held their breath upon seeing the incredulous movement of Park Jiyong's mech.

"What the hell was that? It seems like the bullets are not even able to penetrate the shield that thing is holding."

As usual, Park Jiyong's mech appears behind the two mechs and immediately slice off the weapons one of them is carrying.

After disabling the weapon of the smaller mech, he immediately tried to slice its torso. But the pilot was quick enough to jump back and dodge the attack.

The pilot immediately widens the distance as he ran inside the dust clouds. Without the burst of weapon, Park Jiyong is unable to find the enemy, hence he turns his gaze to the bigger mech.

The pilot of the larger mech immediately turns his rifle towards Park Jiyong's location and began firing in succession.

Once again Park Jiyong lifted his hand his metal shield blocks the bullets coming at him.

"It seems that those bullets are really unable to penetrate the metal component of this mech." Park Jiyong muttered as he maneuvers the mech to enter the dust cloud.

Then with a quick movement, he dashed to the side and suddenly appears on the side of the large mech. With a swing of his sword, the large rifle was cut in half.

Boom!

A huge explosion threw the large mech to the ground.

'Hey, stand back up!'

'Hey…'

The pilot seems to be unconscious due to the fall of the large mech. So Park Jiyong turns his sight to the small mech who is now visible to the slowly dissipating dust cloud.

He suddenly made his move and attacked the small mech who also took out a small knife from the side of its leg.

Twang!

The knife wasn't able to even block the sharp sword of Park Jiyong as the mech was cut in two.

Once again the crowd erupted in great cheer at the spectacle. But then everyone stopped upon seeing what happened next.

The large mech which seems to have been rendered unconscious actually sat up and suddenly pointed its huge arm towards Park Jiyong's direction. This was an unexpected development that rendered everyone speechless.

On the VIP viewing lounge, Lin Qintang had an evil smirk on his face while looking at this scene.

Before everyone could react, the arm turned into a missile and flew towards Park Jiyong's mech at a breakneck speed.
