Volume VI, Chapter 23, Afterimage

A tense atmosphere enveloped the entire gymnasium. Thousands of viewers couldn't help but hold their breath, staring at the virtual light curtain without blinking, for fear that in the blink of an eye, they would miss a classic shot of this wonderful showdown.

Although the cadets here all have the status of soldiers. However, most people have not really experienced the fire and blood on the frontline battlefield. For them, such a duel was already the highest-level battle they had ever seen up close in their lives.

When the red mecha controlled by Thomas appeared on the virtual screen, the audience erupted in thunderous applause.

A tripolar mecha knight from Freeport, and a mysterious master, collide head-on, and the brilliant sparks that will burst out, just by imagining, it is enough to make people fascinated.

According to the common etiquette of the Freeport mecha fighting, the red mecha bent down to salute, and then the legs were slightly separated back and forth, and the two arms were one high and one low, standing still.

As soon as the red mecha's posture was pulled out, it immediately attracted several exclamations. I have never eaten pork and have always seen pigs walking, and some students who often read folk mecha fighting magazines immediately recognized it, and the red mecha was the gesture of the Phantom Flow Nine Ways Ghost Attack.

Ghost Attack is a first-level technique of Phantom Stream. In the folk mecha fighting world, there is an evaluation of "haunted by ghosts and thunder". These eight words not only concisely and accurately point out the characteristics of this attack technique, but also indirectly point out the power of this technique.

Once the ghost attack is deployed, the attack path under your feet is erratic and eerie, feminine and difficult to prevent. And its fists are the opposite of its footwork. The big opening and closing are fierce and fierce. When engaged, opponents are often bewildered by the strange positioning of the Phantom Streamers. Once a flaw is revealed, it will be struck by thunder.

Therefore, this technique is regarded as one of the representative techniques of the phantom stream. The well-known jumping through is one of the ways in this technique.

Thomas has been immersed in this technique for nearly ten years. This is also based on his current status in [Griffon Knight]. The highest technique you can master. Due to his concentration and diligence, coupled with his own hand speed, he is not low. Therefore, this set of techniques was used by him, and the earth has indeed been deeply entangled in ghosts and shadows, and the essence of the collapse of the iron fist.

At this moment, Thomas's starting gesture has already attracted a landslide and tsunami-like applause.

Naturally, the cheers are all students of the First Military Academy in the capital, and these people have different mentalities. Some people were excited to see the original technique of jumping through that they had practiced. Others are purely for the sake of increasing their own morale and destroying the prestige of their opponents.

Although the mentality is different, the expectation of the upcoming battle is the same. In the eyes of these students, this is definitely an eye-opening battle of the dragon.

With Thomas's starting hand, the minutes ticked by.

Neither mech moved. On the virtual light curtain in the center of the gymnasium, the red mecha was still standing on the spot. And that blue mecha from the beginning. There was no movement. Its controller seems to be asleep!

There was silence in the gymnasium, and everyone was waiting for the red mech to swing out and launch a shocking blow.

For a long time, when everyone looked at each other and felt a little impatient. Kozmo, who was watching the game from the sidelines, suddenly unconsciously moved his right index finger. At the same time, Thomas's red mech pulled out a phantom and slammed into the blue mech.

Haunted. Thomas's dash is not a straight line. The continuous change of direction of the mecha in the rush is dizzying.

Everyone's center of the earth was violently raised to their throats with the activation of the red mecha. It's too fast and it's too exciting. The red mecha that pounced on the opponent was like a rope whose trajectory could not be distinguished, and it circled like a thread. It seems that in the next second, the blue mecha will be tied up.

An exclamation sounded, and in just a moment, the red mecha had already arrived in front of the blue mecha.

Tap the ground with your right foot. Stride punch.

The Iron Fist of the Red Mech. With lightning speed, he went straight to the still sluggish blue mecha cockpit. Seeing this, many anxious viewers have already stood up.

People don't know. Thomas's frontal stride punch was just a false move. When the opponent is forced to retreat, the red mech will progress and twist, and cut behind the opponent in an arc. At that point, it will be the real thunderbolt!

Only Kozmo knows this. At this moment, he couldn't help but smile appreciatively on his face. In his opinion, this ghostly journey has really reached the peak of Thomas's operation, and the whole action is perfect in one go.

Immediately, Kozmo's smile froze.

Because the blue mecha also moved. In the face of Thomas's attack, it did not retreat, but took two steps forward like a flower. These two steps, like a white horse, dodged not only Thomas's attack. It was like a thunderclap that struck Kozmo's heart.

"Good!" In the gymnasium, the students of Gariparan Academy, whether they understood it or not, jumped up at the moment and burst into applause. In their opinion, the blue mecha was able to dodge the red mech's attack at the last moment, which was wonderful enough.

The opponent's move was obviously unexpected by Thomas. Kozmo noticed that on the screen, there was a clear pause in the movements of the red mecha.

Thankfully, Thomas didn't worry Kozmo. With rich combat experience, he quickly came back to his senses after being stunned, flew with his right hand, controlled the mecha to forcibly turn around, and advanced in an arc with twisting his body......

The Ghost Attack's nine-way technique has already been perfected by Thomas. He didn't believe that after being close to him, there were still people who could calmly escape.

The characteristics of the phantom stream are vividly interpreted by Thomas. The mech's steering and arc rush are seamlessly linked. The body shape transformation is also as pleasing to the eye as the clouds and flowing water of the peers. The red mecha seemed to split into three in an instant, and the afterimage flowed, like a dream.

This is the illusion of the flow of oneness and a hundred shadows.

Being able to see with their own eyes the clear visual afterimage of the mecha due to the high-speed movement, all the students were so excited that they couldn't help themselves. Although they have seen faster mecha advances in online videos or in "Flames of War", this is the first time they have seen such a small radius of advance and retreat avoidance, pulling out an afterimage that matches the visual frequency like this.

For a while, there was thunder in the gymnasium.

But soon, the cadets of the First Military Academy in the capital fell silent. Because, they couldn't believe it, and almost at the same moment when the red mecha pulled out the afterimage, the blue mecha also made the same movement, twisting and advancing in an arc......

Exactly the same movements and paces, except that the radius of the blue mecha's spinning run is smaller, and there are four afterimages!

Shocked, confused, sluggish, admired. All kinds of expressions, in the cheers of the Gariparan Academy, appeared on the faces of the cadets of the First Military Academy in the capital.

Sensing the threat of the blue mecha, the red mecha on the screen increased again, and the afterimage rose to the same four paths. The mecha on both sides are positive and backward, drawing circles with each other and chasing each other at high speed. In the small circle, there are eight mecha figures. It's a spectacle.

Just when everyone was stunned and fascinated by everything that appeared on the virtual light curtain, something even more crazy happened. I saw that the blue mecha seemed to shake very casually, and two afterimages appeared on the screen.

"Wow!" This time, no one could keep their composure. The first one to jump was Kozmo!

The two mechas, one red and one blue, turned into two flying and blurry clusters of light in an instant, and only the thousands of students of the two academies were dazzled. No one can tell whether the red mecha is chasing the blue mecha or the blue mecha is chasing the red mecha.

Although the two mechs have not exchanged punches and kicks from beginning to end, this game is undoubtedly more exciting than the first one.

Who loses and who wins? Everyone is speculating and waiting for the final ending.

Their wait was not long. After a minute or so, they got their answer.

When the blue mech frantically jumped out of the spiral circle, and then jumped up and down the entire map to pull dozens of afterimages, Thomas conceded defeat.

Unbelievable!

Until the sound of the system deciding the winner sounded, everyone present had not come back to their senses.

Everyone knows that the footwork of the body is the foundation of the Phantom Stream. In the military mecha control specification, many footwork control standards are formulated with reference to the phantom stream. In this regard, Phantom Stream is the top expert. However, how could it be possible that the Phantom Streamer lost to others in the strongest footwork? It's even more ridiculous than losing to a tortoise in a rabbit race.

In the midst of the uproar, Thomas walked out of the simulation chamber.

There didn't seem to be any shame or embarrassment on his face. He just walked up to Kozmo, and the two of them whispered a few words.

Kozmo stood up.

This first-class mecha knight has always been the focus of attention of the audience. In the midst of everyone's astonished gaze, and in a growing noise, he and Thomas walked side by side to the mock hatch of Gariparan Academy.

Bending down and stroking his chest, the master is the teacher, and the two mecha knights are ...... Teacher salute.
