CHAPTER 327: CHAPTER 326 THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT STUDYING HARD

"Xu Lingjun!!!"

With an angry roar, facing a formidable enemy, the Giant Ape’s actions did not pause in the slightest, continuing its relentless assault towards Li Jingjun.

Though it’s a Giant Ape, it knows the importance of taking out an arm first.

Meanwhile, Zhou Qianmo grew excited in an instant, staring intently towards the source of the sound... thinking to himself that following the Giant Ape was indeed the right move.

He finally appeared.

But upon seeing the person’s true appearance, Zhou Qianmo couldn’t help but let out a light exclamation, his face showing a blank expression.

At this moment, watching as Li Jingjun was about to be crushed by the Giant Ape’s fist.

The Giant Ape suddenly felt a shadow loom over its head, followed by a tremendous whooshing sound, as if a massive rock weighing several thousand pounds was about to crash down.

This was no longer a question of whether it should stop or not, but whether it would be crushed to death.

The Giant Ape hurriedly dodged to avoid, and at the same time swung a backhand fist towards the shadow above.

With a loud bang.

The Giant Ape roared in pain, feeling as though its punch landed on an indestructible shield, not only failing to injure the enemy but almost fracturing its own fingers.

Meanwhile, the giant shadow above nimbly twisted in mid-air, spinning a few times... reaching out to scoop up Li Jingjun, holding her in its palm.

"Roar roar~~!!"

The Giant Ape raised its head and roared, its mouth full of sharp, menacing fangs, its massive body suddenly lunged forward, colliding with the newcomer.

At this moment, Xu Lingjun had just grabbed Li Jingjun, barely maintaining balance, had only enough time to position the Light Beam Shield in front, before being sent flying by the impact.

Having just been knocked back a dozen meters away, the thrusters behind him suddenly erupted, instantly counteracting the force and halting him in mid-air.

The one who appeared was not Xu Lingjun, but a gigantic robot nearly twenty meters tall.

The blue and white robot stood silently on the icy snowfield, with large wings spread behind it, holding Li Jingjun in one hand and a Light Beam Shield in the other... Clearly, it was this shield that blocked the Giant Ape’s attack and even numbed its hand.

Li Jingjun was astonished, lying in the palm of the Mecha, looking at the side profile of the enormous robot with shock.

Smooth and elegant curves.

This robot, towering above even the Giant Ape by a few meters, seemed more like a work of art than a war machine.

But just now, she had seen with her own eyes how this robot effortlessly rescued her from the Giant Ape... This robot seemed to integrate numerous advanced technologies, evoking an inevitable sense of coveting.

"You... Xu Lingjun?"

"Mm, it’s me."

The Mecha looked down at Li Jingjun briefly and said, "Don’t worry, I’m here, let’s deal with this beast first."

Indeed, it was Xu Lingjun’s voice.

Only then did Li Jingjun breathe a small sigh of relief, lying in the palm of the Strong Assault, showing a slight trace of reassurance on her face.

Having had a brush with death and now suddenly seeing Xu Lingjun.

No matter how strong she was, she couldn’t help but feel a bit aggrieved and comforted.

Before Xu Lingjun’s eyes, words appeared.

[Successfully saving Li Jingjun from the brink of life and death, receiving her heartfelt gratitude and admiration, thus gaining the favor of the world’s Origin Will, Origin Value +299!]

Xu Lingjun was greatly pleased, thinking she was a good girl and that it was worth saving her.

"Roar~~~!"

The Giant Ape looked at the massive robot, not understanding where this creature came from, but knowing its enemy was inside.

It furiously pounded its chest with one hand, striding towards the Mecha.

Xu Lingjun knew well his Mark 50 couldn’t withstand the might of this Giant Ape, and without Gu Xi’s help, even the Sword of Oath and Victory might not be a match for it.

So at the first sign of Li Jingjun in danger, he summoned the Assault Freedom Mecha without hesitation.

At the very least, their sizes were comparably close.

"Careful!"

Li Jingjun screamed in alarm.

"No problem."

Xu Lingjun raised his arm, with the Light Beam Shield directly blocking the Giant Ape’s heavy blow, and in a sidestep, saw the Giant Ape open its mouth aiming for his other hand.

Its target was clearly Li Jingjun.

Xu Lingjun withdrew his hand holding Li Jingjun, yet was directly weighed down by the full weight of the Giant Ape pressing on him.

It obviously understood the principle of concentrating its attack where the enemy is obligated to rescue, using the force of this attack to press the Assault Freedom Mecha to the ground, intending to topple it... Even if it was slightly larger than itself, it is still a robot, far less agile than flesh and blood.

As long as it topples, it would win then and there.

Seeing that Assault was about to be toppled... the Mecha’s thrusters suddenly erupted with great force, directly pushing the Giant Ape into the sky, then followed up with a shield smash to its head.

Despite having only two hands.

The Dragon Cavalry System on its back suddenly detached, the large wings disengaged from the body, firing countless laser beams towards the Giant Ape.

Boom boom boom!!!

With consecutive loud explosions, the Giant Ape hurriedly dodged, yet unwillingly attacked the Assault again.

Representing the most primitive strength and the pinnacle of technology, they engaged in the fiercest battle in the snowfield.

Clearly visible to the naked eye.

The Giant Ape, after all, was missing an arm, even if Assault had to use one hand to protect Li Jingjun, it, armed with numerous auxiliary weapons, was evidently holding an absolute upper hand.

The iron-clad body, how could flesh and blood compete?

In the distance...

Throughout the entire battle, Zhou Qianmo’s face turned exceedingly gloomy.

Mecha!

Others may not know, but he was naturally aware of this thing.

He knew Zhang Zhiheng had painstakingly pursued Xu Lingjun because he was the one who suggested the idea of creating Mecha.

He just hadn’t thought this Mecha had been developed to such a degree, able to contend with a Level 8 Demon Beast on its own.

Even more unexpected, Xu Lingjun actually had his own Mecha.

But with the situation at hand...

Where could Xu Lingjun possibly be hiding?

Zhou Qianmo was fixated on the Assault Freedom Mecha locked in combat with the Giant Ape, noticing the Giant Ape was now clearly aware it couldn’t allow this robot to gain any distance or it’d be over... hence it desperately engaged in close-quarters combat, not giving it a chance to launch massive attacks, focusing intently on Li Jingjun to further restrict the opponent.

Xu Lingjun, holding Li Jingjun with one hand, was unable to draw his Light Bundle Sword.

All he could do was smash the Giant Ape with the shield, causing it to lament endlessly, but it refused to leave.

The outcome of the battle was gradually becoming clear, with the Giant Ape’s defeat just a matter of time.

Zhou Qianmo, however, was incredibly perplexed.

Xu Lingjun had appeared.

But this robot was at least twenty meters tall by conservative estimates, and the cockpit was undoubtedly inside the machine, but was it in the head, chest, or abdomen...

Surely it couldn’t be in the arms or legs.

Zhou Qianmo couldn’t help but curse himself inwardly for his ignorance, not even understanding such basic technological aspects... remembering that Zhang Zhiheng once wanted to show off the wonders of the Mecha and explain its mysteries to them.

Yet they found it incomprehensible and walked away without listening.

How regretful... I should have listened carefully back then.

Now the enemy is right in front of me, yet where should I strike?

Zhou Qianmo fell into a deep confusion... even with his Iron Armor, he was confident he could break through the defense.

But if I attack the wrong spot, wouldn’t I just expose myself?

Zhou Qianmo couldn’t resist striking the tree with his fist hard...

How regretful, I should have studied hard early on, now as I grow older, I am finally suffering the consequences of not studying well.
