Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 1036 - 712: Victory!

"Glory Arena World" Arena No. 14, codename "Broken Star Canyon."

This is a complex environment formed by ancient geological activities and the accumulation of interstellar dust, with jagged rocks and gravity approximately equal to 1.2 times the regular Blue Star environment.

Fine magnetic dust permeates the air, causing slight interference to unshielded electronic equipment.

A massive circular grandstand floats above the canyon, with spectators and observers from different Star Domains and factions, filling most of the seats.

Countless eyes focus on the relatively flat "ring" at the canyon's center—

A gigantic, relatively flat rock platform with a diameter of about five hundred meters.

The debut of the New Bauhinia team, already a topic due to previous "rule controversies" and "technical counteractions," now garners even more attention.

Especially when the names of the New Bauhinia's player and mecha model appear on the giant screen, it sparks a buzz of whispers.

"Player: Kuang Xin. Mecha: New Bauhinia · Dawn's Edge Prototype 'Breaker of Dawn.'

"Opponent: Player 'Rock Shield' from the Deep Space Mining Alliance. Mecha: 'Defender III Model' Heavy Assault Mecha."

Looking at the information of the two contenders on the field, spectators outside quietly discuss...

The Deep Space Mining Alliance is not one of the seven "Sons of the Empire," but it's also a formidable industrial and military consortium within the Galaxy Center Star Domain, especially skilled in combat under harsh space and planetary conditions.

The "Defender III Model" is their hallmark heavy-duty mecha, renowned for its thick armor, powerful thrust, and heavy weaponry modified from large demolition/mining tools, representing a classic strength-suppressing type mecha.

"So it's Deep Space Alliance's 'Rock Shield'? This guy is quite famous in the mercenary circle, with plenty of combat experience, especially adept at fighting in complex terrains like this. And New Bauhinia sent this 'Kuang Xin'... Never heard of him. Using a prototype? Isn't that a bit presumptuous?"

"Not necessarily, remember the stir they caused during the technical review. For this 'Breaker of Dawn' to be recognized by the Star Alliance, it must have some extraordinary features. It's just a matter of whether the mech pilot can utilize them."

"Rock Shield isn't easy to deal with; his 'Defender' has rough skin and immense strength, thriving in anomalous gravity environments like this. New Bauhinia's player doesn't seem to have heavy mecha piloting experience..."

In the midst of the chatter, both mechas slowly drive onto the ring from their respective entry passages.

The "Defender III Model," like a moving steel fortress, with its dark gray thick armor embedded with various enemy emblems, representing the defeated foes.

The mecha's left arm is a gigantic hydraulic impact drill, while the right arm is an extendable alloy giant claw, with a heavy thruster array on its back signifying its noteworthy mobility.

The mecha's heavy footsteps cause the rock platform to tremble slightly.

In contrast, the "Breaker of Dawn" appears much "lighter."

The blue-and-white paint job is sleek and technologically advanced, with body lines that are more streamlined and aerodynamic than traditional mechas, and its armor doesn't seem as thick as the opponent's but emits a unique metallic sheen under the lights.

It doesn't carry excessively large external weapons, with its arms equipped with standardized high-frequency cutting blades and an unfoldable energy shield generator, exuding a sense of agility and nimbleness.

Inside the cockpit, Kuang Xin takes a deep breath, feeling every subtle feedback of the "Breaker of Dawn" through neural linkage.

This mecha is different from all the mechas he had operated before, with more delicate control and faster response. Dr. Helen's designed "Hybrid Enhanced Handling Mode" makes him feel one with the mecha.

He can sense the canyon's abnormal gravity impacting the mecha, and the magnetic dust in the air causing slight interference to the sensors, but the mecha's stabilization system and filtering module work efficiently to minimize these negative effects.

"Everyone at Galaxy Center, Yanzi, Dai Lian, Wen Jie... and everyone on Mine Star, are watching." Kuang Xin licks his somewhat dry lips, with a fiery blaze igniting in his eyes, "First battle, watch how I perform!"

"The match begins!" The electronic synthesized voice echoes through the arena.

Almost at the sound's cue, "Rock Shield" takes initiative!

The heavy "Defender" erupts with fierce blue flames from the thruster on its back. Its massive body doesn't seem cumbersome; instead, leveraging the slightly enhanced gravity and the thruster's surge, it charges at "Breaker of Dawn" like a fired cannonball at mazing speed!

The impact drill on the left arm spins at high speed, emitting a piercing whirr, aiming straight at "Breaker of Dawn's" chest armor core!

A quintessential deep-space miner style—using environment and mecha advantage, launching a thunderous assault from the outset, aiming to establish dominance or disrupt the opponent's rhythm instantly!

Gasps of astonishment echo across the stands.

"Rock Shield's" explosiveness exceeds expectations! 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

However, faced with this overwhelming charge, Kuang Xin doesn't choose to withstand forcefully or dodge hastily.

Under "Breaker of Dawn's" exceptional sensors and his own battlefield acumen honed through trials, he precisely analyzes the opponent's charge trajectory and the impact drill's attack range.

Just before the "Defender" is about to collide, "Breaker of Dawn" moves.

Instead of moving backward or to the side significantly, it instantaneously ups the thruster's power to an exquisite level, combined with leg joint fine-tuning, allowing the entire mecha with an almost dance-like graceful posture to slide forward a little and slightly shift the body.
