Chapter 881: Malone’s Request

“Ah, hahaha, I’m coming.” Screw it, this was the effect he was looking for! Hong Dali smiled and stood up. He then rushed into the sea. “Wait for me. Should we take a look inside to see if there’s anything interesting?”

The previous time that Hong Dali led an expedition into the sea, they found the Hellfire necklace of the Five Element Wheel. Therefore, everyone agreed when he suggested another adventure into the sea. Tang Muxin’s eyes lit up. She smiled and said, “Dali, should we leave now?”

Hm, it was not a priority to teach Little Mo Mo how to swim. The key thing was the sea expedition…

And so, everyone boarded their mechas and swam deeper into the sea.

This planet had vast oceans. They were even larger than those on Earth. After all, the planet had an unusually large diameter of 50,000 kilometers. As they proceeded deeper into the ocean, Hong Dali and the rest were completely mesmerized by the beautiful underwater world.

…

In the space territory outside.

“Boom!” Another gigantic mecha had demolished all the surrounding meteors and small planets. The giant battle-ax in his mecha’s hands swung in a strange curve, distorting the surrounding space. It headed directly towards Li Tianxing’s Spirit Emperor!

“Humph, seeking your own death.” Li Tianxing’s gaze turned cold.

On the back of the Spirit Emperor, two black cones floated. Two black-colored light beams shot out and took the shape of a black fury, which quickly wrapped itself around the mecha.

The black fury looked insignificant. It did not even affect the nearby meteors. However, after it wrapped itself around the mecha, the entire body of the mecha just disintegrated! Even the pilot inside was exposed!

The pilot’s face was filled with shock. Disbelief and fright were in his eyes. His mouth was left slightly open as if there was something he wanted to say.

“Boom!” Li Tianxing controlled the Spirit Emperor. With one punch, the pilot was beaten into a ball of white light.

Only then did the mecha completely explode. The giant shockwave vaporized all the surrounding meteors.

“Hm, piloting the Spirit Emperor mecha to face these opponents is overkill.” Li Tianxing smiled. This felt like a grown man bullying a child.

It was too easy to abuse the normal mechas with the Spirit Emperor that cost 600,000,000 to build.

“Let’s see what’s going on.” Li Tianxing looked at the words on the mecha screen. The numbers had changed.

Contestant: Li Tianxing. Mecha: Spirit Emperor.

Current remaining contestants: 31,652. Additional Note: When the number of remaining contestants reaches 10,000, the venue will be compressed again.

“There are 31,000 contestants left. Hm, the number has reduced significantly since the start.” Li Tianxing smiled. He began to prepare for the latter part of the plan. “Hm, the remaining ones are somewhat skilled. I can’t go mad for kills now, as it might attract the combined attacks from others. If anything goes wrong, it won’t be worth it. After all, my goal this time is to win the championship and gain the recognition of Sir Malone. Kills are secondary, so I don’t need to worry about that.”

Li Tianxing was right.

There were a lot of small fries at the starting phase of the Galaxy Super Mecha Wars. Hence, he could freely go on a killing spree. However, as the competition went on, only skilled opponents were left. Spirit Emperor was indeed built with 600,000,000 dollars, however, that did not mean that it was invincible.

A siege could come about due to the hatred he garnered. Li Tianxing may not care about tens or hundreds of mechas, but if thousands or tens of thousands came at once? Spirit Emperor was, after all, a mere mecha. It was not an immortal god. If he was ousted due to a siege, all previous efforts would have been wasted.

“Hm, this competition will last another week no matter what. I’ll wait until there are only 10,000 mechas left and the venue compresses.” Li Tianxing touched his chin. “The war will be crueler then. Hence, I need to stay more low-key for now.”

Once he made up his mind, Li Tianxing requested all his subordinates to meet up and hide at a good location.

“Everyone, keep a low profile and slow down on the assaults.” Li Tianxing ordered. “Also, find a good place to hide. Don’t draw too much attention and invite a siege. That’ll be no good.”

“Understood!” The other four naturally understood what he meant and responded in unison.

Li Tianxing then headed for the outer circle of the battlefield. After all, most of his enemies were in the inner circle. The further away from the center, the fewer enemies there were, and the easier his life would be.

Of course, even though he retreated, Li Tianxing still swept the path clean along his way. He met twelve enemies along the journey. Although they all had decent mechas that cost at least 100,000,000 dollars, with one that looked like it could cost 300,000,000 dollars, still…

The Spirit Emperor cost 600,000,000 dollars. It was not on the same level when compared to the other mechas.

You got what you paid for when it came to the participating mechas for the Galaxy Super Mecha Wars. Mechas were not the same as cars. For example, a car that cost 5,000,000 dollars and 10,000,000 dollars were not too different in attributes such as defense and speed. A Lamborghini’s top speed was 400km/h. However, that did not mean that a Rolls Royce could reach a top speed of 800km/h.

Mechas were different. A mecha priced at 100,000,000 dollars could not be mentioned in the same breath as a mecha priced at 200,000,000 dollars. It was not an overstatement to say that even ten mechas that cost 100,000,000 dollars could only fight to a draw against a mecha that cost 200,000,000 dollars. The ten cheaper mechas would be decimated, and the more expensive mecha would become nonoperational. The gap grew increasingly obvious as the prices rose.

When it came to Li Tianxing’s Spirit Emperor that required 600,000,000 dollars to build…

The twelve enemies were almost instantaneously handled by Li Tianxing. They did not even make a sound.

After all, even Malone thought that Li Tianxing’s mecha was very impressive and a strong champion candidate.

Of course, nothing was certain in this world. There were many geniuses who could rely on their ungodly talent in piloting to close the gaps between the mechas. Hence, even though Li Tianxing’s mecha was almost invincible, he could not be too careless.

“Alright, everyone. Take a break and watch some other fight first.” Once they reached a more inconspicuous small planet asteroid belt, Li Tianxing and the four Black-level Honorary Aristocrats could finally let out a breath of relief. Li Tianxing smiled and said, “Relax and recover for a while. We will wait until there are 10,000 contestants left and the venue changes. The real battle will begin then. It’s just our warm-up now.”

…

Shenluo City, inside the exclusive club where Malone was.

Heloise’s death did not attract any attention. None at all.

Li Hanhong could not care less about things like this. He only ordered his subordinates to carry out Heloise’s corpse.

Of course, Heloise did come from a big family. Li Hanhong was humane enough to inform Heloise’s family and send compensation. The matter ended completely there.

After all, the person who did it was Sir Malone, a High Noble of the Dimu Star Sector. It was considered kind of him to spare Heloise’s family. Who dared to think any different?

Compensation was already an additional gift. In other words, Li Hanhong had given them enough face. They should be content.

“Sir Malone.” Once Malone turned on the light that signaled he was done, Li Hanhong hurriedly knocked and entered. He saw Malone lying down on the bed, satisfied. The three other women apart from Heloise were all lightly massaging his legs.

Li Hanhong knew that things went well once he saw Malone’s expressions. He hurriedly smiled and said, “Sir Malone, are you satisfied?”

“Hmm, not bad. Speaking of which, you do have good taste. The women are pretty special.” Malone laughed and petted the women’s heads. “Hmm, I can’t bear to just kill these cute women like that. How about this. Get them to accompany me for these few days. Once I’ve decided to return, they’ll follow me then. You can arrange the other matters as you see fit.”

“Understood!” Li Hanhong was very excited once he knew that the few women had won Sir Malone’s heart for him. He nodded and said, “Since that’s the case, Sir Malone, what do you think about…”

“You can leave first.” Malone waved his hands lightly. The three women hurriedly left. Malone smiled and asked, “It’s about your son, right? Hmm, how are things coming along?”

After all, he took the bribes and the women. No matter what kind of person Malone was, he had to give some face now. Hence, he was rather gentle and mild-mannered now.

“There are currently less than 25,000 contestants now.” Li Hanhong politely said, “I believe that in a few hours, there would only be the final 10,000 contestants remaining. The competition venue will be further compressed then. I hope that Sir Malone will be able to attend the competition amidst your busy schedule.”

“Mm, a few more hours. Sure.” Malone touched his chin, nodded and said, “That’s settled, then. However, let me make something clear.”

“Yes, please.” Li Hanhong hurriedly and carefully agreed.

“The Super Mecha Wars tests your battle talents, ability to adapt to the environment, and control of risks on the battlefield.” Malone lightly said, “Hence, if you want me to bring him back to our Dimu Star Sector High Nobles headquarters, your son’s talent is crucial. Currently, I’ve seen his mecha. The cost is around 600,000,000. That’s not bad. Similarly, I have high requirements for the pilot. After all, I can’t bring back any piece of junk. That’ll cause me some trouble. I trust you understand that.”

“Understood! Understood!” Li Hanhong hurriedly nodded and asked, “So, Sir Malone, your requirements are…”

“Champion.” Malone smiled. “If he can’t even win the championship with his mecha, I think that you won’t have the face to ask me to bring him. Right?”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Li Hanhong instantly agreed. He was elated to hear this. It was not a difficult task to win the championship with the strength of the Spirit Emperor!
