Chapter 369 - 183: Mecha Piloting—If You Can Do It, So Can I
Even though he knew the enemy in front of him was extremely powerful, and his chances of victory were slim, Gu Ningxuan tightened his grip, steeled his heart, drew out the Laser Particle Sword, and said with clear enunciation, "Dare! Why wouldn’t I?"
Such courage... Gu Ningyi smirked inwardly. Since he accepted the challenge, he must give it his all, to see just how capable this younger brother he had never met actually was! His slender fingers traced dreamy shadows in the air, and orders were instantly transmitted to every part of the mecha. The towering, clumsy giant started moving in an unexpectedly agile manner!
"So fast!" Gu Ningyi launched his attack without any warning, exerting formidable combat strength from the outset of the battle.
Gu Ningxuan, caught off guard, was forced into a hasty retreat. Fortunately, his skills were not inferior; he reacted in time at the critical moment, thus avoiding any damage. Still, Gu Ningyi’s fighting spirit was high from the very beginning, while comparatively, Gu Ningxuan’s momentum seemed weaker.
"Is this really all your strength? That’s really..." Gu Ningyi’s back tensed slightly, a sign that he was getting serious. Though his words were harsh, he genuinely valued this brother. To react so quickly to his near-ambush attack style... hehe, it seems there are still some real skills there, "really disappointing..."
Gu Ningxuan pressed his lips tightly, not letting his opponent’s words disturb him. His eyes shone with utter seriousness; this enemy was strong... perhaps the most pressure-inducing opponent he had ever faced in his life!
The battle was on the brink! Compared to Su Jiameng, who could handle being under siege with ease and grace, the intense fight between these brothers clearly captured more attention. The playful camera operator filmed them from multiple angles, making it seem like the audience could practically feel the oppressive atmosphere through the thundering collisions and flying sparks!
Su Jiameng’s speed was indeed quick, but this "quick" lacked much of the smell of gunpowder, as elegant and unhurried as a leisurely stroll.
In contrast, the duel between these two was also "quick," but it was fierce and bold, full of violence. The fighting spirit and intense smell of gunpowder were like a fire, gradually stirring the hot blood within people’s chests, boiling along with the ebb and flow of the battle!
Outside, Gu Qidong watched the seemingly life-threatening duel between the two mechas with a slight sense of melancholy. Their current performance seemed to affirm an old saying from the Earth Era: "the waves behind drive on those ahead, and the leading waves crash onto the beach."
Though he could still subdue these kids and win now, in a few more days, the entire interstellar era will be theirs. He felt old... Gu Qidong sighed softly in his heart, while also feeling a deep sense of regret. The three sons of the Gu Family, any of them could single-handedly support the entire Gu Family. In the future, there will be no need to worry about a lack of successors. However, these three boys each are more worrisome than the last!
Had Gu Ningyi known his father’s thoughts, he might have just smiled silently. Speaking of strength, Gu Qidong might not even be able to defeat his eldest son, let alone if the eldest and youngest teamed up... they could suppress their father within moments!
Fighting is very much like playing cards; if you show all your high cards at once, you’ll have nothing to play later! Though these brothers have never met before, their blood connection bestows a subtle sense of mutual understanding.
The battle continued at a stalemate, with each using their skills to counter the other’s moves, maintaining an even situation. Of course, Gu Ningyi’s sixty more years of experience than Gu San wasn’t for nothing. Gu San was doing his utmost, while Gu Ningyi still had plenty in reserve.
When facing this opponent, Gu Ningxuan felt as though he had come up against a vast mountain with no peak in sight, no matter how he attacked or pressured, the opponent remained as steady as a rock, showing no sign of panic, serene and composed. To outsiders, the two appeared evenly matched, but only he as a participant knew just how much disparity was hidden there...
While Gu Ningxuan was astonished, his elder brother wasn’t having an easy time either. This younger brother had shocked him more than he had imagined; back when he was that age, he couldn’t achieve what his brother was demonstrating... it seems the claim that Gu Ningxuan is the most gifted of the Gu family’s three sons is well-founded, not mere hearsay.
