The Mecha Tournament is one of the most popular events in the Federation, with countless spectators coming to watch the tournament every year, and the highly skilled Mecha Warriors have become the object of thousands of fans. Even as the lowest-level high school intercollegiate event, its popularity cannot be compared with those large-scale events, but it still attracts a lot of spectators. Of course, no one will care about the events of the top 16 between schools, and basically no one will know about the usual tryouts. Just like Longyuanxing, a planet with poor mecha masters, ordinary people don't care about the preliminary round of the inter-school mecha competition at all. Even if a candidate like Chenping arrived on the day of the competition, he knew that he was not participating in the general primary event, but the final four in the primary event!

As the runner-up of the previous season, the Star Dragon Academy is still the seeded team of Longyuan Star and has priority in the primary. There is no need to participate in the general selection, and you will be directly selected for the top four in the preliminary round. So if it goes well, Chenping and they can only win two games in a row, and they can get the place of Longyuan Star and go to the "Empty Luo Domain" to participate in the top 16 of the Federal Intercollegiate Mecha Competition.

"I remember that in addition to the home planet and sixteen colony stars, the Federation also has five free collars, why only sixteen varsity teams participate in the competition?" On the locomotive heading to the competition venue (Longyuan Interstellar Academy), Chenping asked curiously.

"Hmph, ignorance!" Lian Luoling glanced at Chenping with disdain, then looked out the window.

"Because not every planet and liberty have the right to play!" Dongfang Xinyu replied with a smile: "Our Longyuan Star is also because of the efforts of the Flame Dance seniors, and we have won the runner-up twice before we have a place in the competition. The other weaker Colonies and Liberty Leaders will have to compete for a place in the stage to participate in one more semi-final! ”

"If that's the case, then why are we going to participate in this preliminary semi-final?" Chenping was even more puzzled: "This place in the competition was originally won back by our school, so wouldn't it be over if our school directly participated in the competition?" ”

"Fundamentally the rules of the inter-school mecha competition, we do have this right. However, in order to ensure the combat power level of Longyuanxing's representatives, the Longyuanxing Education Bureau must let our school participate in the semi-finals of the primary selection, otherwise we will be deprived of the right to compete! Feng Yueli interjected at this time.

"And such unreasonable rules?" Chenping said with a chuckle.

"It's not so much to ensure the level of the contestants, but to give other schools a chance to compete with the contestants and absorb some combat experience!" The senior named Armas said.

"Can we win?" Dongfang Xinyu asked a little worriedly.

"The level of mecha in each school of Longyuan Star is not high, and in previous years, our school also sent candidates to participate in the competition, and it is not the same as hand-to-hand, so you can rest assured!" Lian Luoling glanced at Dongfang Xinyu with disdain, and said with a sneer.

Soon the flying ship of the Star Dragon Academy landed on the landing pad of the Interstellar Academy, and Chen Ping and the others each guided their own transport vehicles to transport the mecha into the temporary hangar of the Academy. Fearing that someone would make it bad, the players followed their mecha throughout the process, trying not to let it out of their sight. Once the mech was transported to the hangar, a group of staff members began a pre-match inspection to ensure that the mech was not using illegal equipment and weapons. After the staff's work was over, the Chenping contestants began to test the mecha again by themselves to ensure that it was in the best condition.

Before the inspection of the morning equality players was over, Rego and several second-year students came over and told everyone about the results of the draw and the rules of the competition. The first battle against them was the "Dragon Source Noble Academy", which was staggered from the interstellar academy at home. In addition to bringing information about his opponents, Rego also had an order from Flame Dance - let them decide the order of the tournament themselves, but they can only win and not lose, otherwise they will all be expelled from the student council.

"I'm the first to play!" Luo Ling didn't even think about it, so he spoke.

"Senior Sister Lian is our main general, will it be too cheap to be the first to play?" Chenping said: "Our real opponent is the Interstellar Academy, and it is easy for the Interstellar Academy players to find out our details by exposing our true strength too early. It's better to let Dongfang play the first game, first explore the level of Longyuan Noble Academy, and then defeat them in one go! ”

"Is it necessary?" Lian Luoling couldn't help but glance at Dongfang Xinyu when she heard this, and said unscrupulously.

"In fact, letting Dongfang fight first also has the effect of showing weakness, making them think that the candidate level of our school is actually not high, and then when the senior sister comes to power, they can be caught off guard!" Chenping smiled and touted: "If their level is so poor that even Dongfang can easily solve it, then why use you, senior sister, as a general?" ”

"That's good!" Lian Luoling thought about it for a while, and felt that the first appearance was indeed a bit cheap, so he agreed.

"Then I'll be the third!" Armas said with a smile: "Don't be too ruthless when you start Luoling, so leave one for me to play with!" ”

"Hmph, look at the mood!" Lian Luoling said proudly.

"Then I'll be the last!" Chen Ping glanced at Feng Yueli, and when he saw that she didn't speak, he spoke.

"Am I the first to play?" Dongfang Xinyue couldn't help but become nervous when he saw that everyone nominated him to be the first to appear.

"The mecha of the Dragon Source Noble Academy is very ordinary, you don't have to be too nervous! Just play as you normally would. Feng Yueli stepped forward and comforted.

"Dongfang, you don't have much actual combat experience. You might as well play slowly, don't rush to solve the other party, and absorb a little more experience in the battle! Chenping also stepped forward and said.

"Don't listen to his nonsense!" Feng Yueli glared at Chenping and said seriously: "Don't give the opponent a chance, get rid of the opponent as soon as possible!" ”

"yes, I see!" Dongfang Xinyu tried to calm his nervousness, and he didn't know if he listened to the opinions of his teammates?

"It's just the Dragon Source Noble Academy, don't be so nervous!" Lian Luoling couldn't help but feel uneasy when she saw Dongfang Xinyu's appearance. In fact, in her heart, Dongfang Xinyu is not qualified to compete at all, and it is a waste to let such a novice occupy a place!

While Chenping was discussing tactics with the others, there was a burst of music outside, followed by a short speech mixed in with the music. At this time, Teacher Lina, who was in charge of the team leader in the school, finally appeared in front of everyone, waved for them to assemble, and lined up neatly. Then she led the five mecha participating in the Star Dragon Academy out of the contestant's rest room and walked out towards the arena outside.

"The star dragon will win, the star dragon will win!" Bursts of cheers came, which lifted the spirits of the Chenping contestants.

Listening to the chaotic cheers on the stage and looking at the dense crowd of spectators around the arena, the blood on Chen Ping's body was completely induced at once. Sitting on top of the monkey-faced mecha, Chenping felt the enthusiasm of the audience while slowly moving forward with the team. Although he knew that these cheers were for the players in the audience, at this moment he unconsciously fell into it, and felt that the whole world was cheering for him!

"Today's first game is the second runner-up of the last inter-school mecha competition, Xinglong Academy, against the newly promoted dark horse Longyuan Noble Academy......" With the announcer's voice, the game officially began!
