This time it was a mecha battle. After everyone went up, they immediately entered the mecha the moment the instructor said “start”.

With Yamamiya Namiha joining the fray, everyone watching was extremely focused, eager to see how his strength would change after leaving the rainforest arena.

Yamamiya Namiha faced Ji Chuyu.

As a medium-sized mecha soldier, Ji Chuyu’s speed is undeniably fast. However, Yamamiya Namiha is a light soldier and is currently using a 3S mecha.

This is going to be interesting.

“His speed is increasing,” Zongzheng Yueren whispered.

Upon hearing this, Wei San looked at Yamamiya Namiha in the arena, then suddenly activated her light brain and asked the people around her, “Want to place a bet?”

Onlookers: “……”

“Who do you think will win?” Xiao Eli asked Wei San hesitantly, considering placing a bet.

“I bet on Ji Chuyu winning,” Wei San said.

Xiao Eli and others placed their bets, everyone around them chose the person they thought was likely to win.

The entire crew is equipped with light mecha, which puts soldiers at a greater disadvantage. Even though Ji Chuyu was among the top three soldiers, the final odds still showed that Yamamiya Namiha had a slight advantage.

Clearly, many people have high expectations for Yamamiya Namiha’s strength, which is understandable, given the compelling evidence. Wei San also rose to prominence later in her career, and her strength is undeniable.

“Ji Chuyu will definitely win!” Wei San said confidently.

“Yamamiya Namiha is quite strong, I bet he’ll win,” said Zongzheng Yueren, standing to the side.

“Ji Chuyu wins.”

“Yamamiya Namiha wins.”

Neither of them would give in, and eventually the onlookers split into two groups shouting at each other.

 Ji Chuyu looked at Wei San, who was leading the chanting of his name: “……”

Taking a moment to call out to Wei San from the perimeter, Huo Xuanshan asked, “What about me?”

“There’s no  you, we’d only bet on the two of them,” Wei San said ruthlessly, showing absolutely no trace of friendship.

During the battle, Yamamiya Namiha’s strength had indeed greatly improved compared to before; he was no longer the person who needed to team up with his sister to deal with a 3S-rank opponent. Moreover, the angle of his whip strikes was quite tricky and ruthless, a sign of a sudden outburst from long-suppressed emotions. As someone who was considered a formidable opponent by all the soldiers from the military academies from the very beginning of the competition, Ji Chuyu’s various moves had long been studied, and now he was being overwhelmed by Yamamiya Namiha.

He was fast, but Yamamiya Namiha was even faster and had a size advantage. Once the distance between them increased slightly, Ji Chuyu was immediately struck by Yamamiya Namiha’s whip.

It was clear that Ji Chuyu was destined to lose.

“Should’ve known to bet on Yamamiya Namiha.” Xiao Eli said, squatting down below, but he quickly cheered up and stood up to Wei San, saying, “Congratulations on having another opponent now.”

Wei San remained unmoved and asked in return, “Do you really think Ji Chuyu will lose?”

Xiao Eli was stunned. He turned to look at the arena and after a long pause, he scoffed, “Don’t bluff. Yamamiya Namiha will definitely win.”

Ji Chuyu was completely overwhelmed and unable to fight back.

Wei San stopped speaking and quietly watched the two fighting in the arena.

After a while, Zongzheng Yueren suddenly said, “Yamamiya Namiha is going to lose.”

Xiao Eli: “?” What’s going on? Just now, Zongzheng Yueren clearly bet on Yamamiya Namiha to win.

He stared intently at the two people in the room, and sure enough, he figured out something about them.

On the surface, Ji Chuyu was suffering setbacks, but in reality, he was conserving his strength. On the other hand, Yamamiya Namiha, for some unknown reason, attacked too quickly and failed to finish his attacks properly, accumulating more and more problems.

Ji Chuyu is now showing signs of retaliating.

Others might not understand, but Wei San understood perfectly. As a Super 3S-rank, Yamamiya Namiha was indeed very strong without concealing his power, but perhaps to completely hide it from everyone, he had been suppressing his strength during training. Now, his sudden outburst made him seem somewhat clumsy. Ji Chuyu had noticed this subtle difference from the beginning, so he had always feigned weakness, refusing to become his whetstone.

And now, the opportunity has arrived!

As Yamamiya Namiha lashed out with another whip at him, Ji Chuyu sidestepped, grabbed the whip, and pulled hard, instantly closing the distance between them. He then swung his sword and slashed at Yamamiya Namiha’s shoulder.

The onlookers gasped immediately. This was real damage; the blade had cut deep into the armor. Yamamiya Namiha’s mecha was definitely seriously injured, especially its arm, which was severely restricted in its movement.

Progress has been made.
