Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy

Chapter 301: Chapter 76 Flame Wave Fist

As Mu Fan’s figure gradually disappeared into the distance, a black metal sphere quietly appeared in the corner of the street.

Staring at the figure that was almost invisible by now, the sphere muttered to itself, “You have to believe that Lord Black won’t harm you, with 100% pain lock and 100% body simulation—where else can you find such a great opportunity? This is where you belong!”

Filled with self-praise, the black sphere then vanished from sight.

Poor Mu Fan had no idea…

He had entered the PO Battle Net—the Fantasy Fighting Battle Zone!

From the moment Mu Fan lay down in the Special Training Virtual Cabin, Lord Black directly modified Mu Fan’s network channel.

Yet, Mu Fan continued on his way, cheerful and excited.

When he reached the end of the path, Mu Fan saw a noisy crowd opposite him, but between his path and the plaza, there seemed to be a transparent membrane.

Mu Fan reached his hand in, and then his entire figure disappeared.

When he reemerged, he saw people continuously appearing from his exit.

It seemed this was a public exit.

The plaza was terrifyingly large and even had people driving motorcycles, riding hoverboards, and even carrying flying wings.

Mu Fan’s mouth dropped open—where did all these gadgets come from?

His own character panel had nothing but a bare name, with no indication of a recharge portal!

Plus, since entering, he hadn’t seen any of his companions.

In an instant, Mu Fan felt the military’s deep malice; it must be another bizarre joke.

He was used to such tricks; Mu Fan nodded firmly in his heart, deciding to ignore it all.

Yes, everything was an illusion created by the military.

More than 20 minutes had passed, and he hadn’t started his first match yet; he had to begin soon. Mu Fan looked up, and not far away was the huge entry marker for the one-star Martial Arts Hall challenge. So, he quickly strode forward and stepped into the giant circle of light.

The people around instantly disappeared—a dense row of Martial Arts Halls appeared in front of him, all one-star.

“Hmm, all full with 10 people, excluding those in the defense cooldown period…still so many left.”

The series of numbers stretched endlessly, so Mu Fan pointed his finger toward the random challenge option.

“You are about to challenge Hall number 10077—Mirror Sky Martial Arts Hall; the current Honored Hall Master is online.”

The waiting time was 10 seconds, countdown started: 10, 9…

1, 0!

The scene before Mu Fan transformed and in front of him stood a closed classic wooden gate, with paper lattice windows and mahogany that imbued the Martial Arts Hall with a rich atmosphere.

It was like the time he was at the Loga Star Martial Arts Hall.

Mu Fan suppressed his excitement, gently pressed his hand on the door, and pushed.

The gate opened.

The pale yellow flooring and the antique palace lamps inside decorated the Martial Arts Hall rather grandly.

Was his first battle at his one-star Martial Arts Hall about to begin? Excitement filled Mu Fan’s heart.

Opposite him stood a not-so-tall man with a patch of whiskers, his small but keen eyes reminiscent of a rat.

He was now looking at Mu Fan with a scrutinizing gaze.

“Are you the challenger, a newbie without even a formal badge?”

The man spoke in a shrill tone, looking down on Mu Fan.

“Yes, I’m here to challenge you!”

Mu Fan’s eyes blazed with a fighting spirit; this was his first battle, and he was determined to win!

“It’s laughable, claiming to challenge when you’ve just left the novice camp. Alright, I’ll finish you in 10 seconds, gain 2 honor points, and you wait to be revived at the medical hall.”

The sharp-faced man laughed sharply, then spread his hands open in front of his chest.

At the same time, the system countdown began.

Mu Fan saw two health bars appear in the upper left of his vision.

“Poison Rat—vs—UnDC010091”

“What a crappy name, just using a numeric ID, are you new to Battle Net? This is just a waste of time.”

“Yes, it’s my first day.” Mu Fan naturally replied—his understanding of Battle Net was completely different from that of his opponent.

“You’re sick, die now.”

As the system countdown reached zero, Mu Fan immediately sprinted forward.

Unexpectedly, Poison Rat gave him a smile, brought his fists together, and then violently pulled them apart.

Flames erupted from his fists.

Damn!

Mu Fan instantly felt his worldview being overturned, not to mention that the person opposite him looked like he was in his forties, the special effect of the fist emitting flames was something he had never seen in reality.

Is this a new martial arts skill?

Using flame effects to confuse the enemy?

The two were ten meters apart, and Mu Fan had already closed the distance to five meters with a step when Poison Rat launched a punch forward.

Instantly, a fist-shaped flame detached and flew toward his head.

The effect was so realistic, but Mu Fan’s body still instinctively dodged by tilting his head.

In Mu Fan’s calculations, the flying fire fist would graze past his ear.

Indeed, the fire fist grazed his ear, but Mu Fan suddenly saw Poison Rat across from him smile as he squeezed his left hand, just after launching the fire fist.

Then, a burst of high temperature hit his ear, and the quick-reacting Mu Fan did a rapid roll.

Ouch, that hurts so much!

A smell of scorched flesh came, and when Mu Fan touched his ear, he found singed hair in his hand.

It’s real!?

His health bar slightly decreased.

Mu Fan got up swiftly, angrily saying, “You’re cheating!”

Poison Rat was stunned, then burst into laughter, clutching his stomach. “Hahaha, weakling. You don’t even know about the Flame Wave Fist from the Mirror Sky Martial Arts Hall and you dare to challenge, I thought you came here to learn this fighting skill.”

Mu Fan was dumbfounded; he was here for fighting training, but he hadn’t expected that there could really be fists that emitted flames. So, the Air Cannon kicked earlier could also be real?

Definitely not a real person opposite him, it must be a character created by the system!

Mu Fan suddenly nodded fiercely.

“Don’t try to fool me. I want to be the Hall Master!” Mu Fan slowly crouched down, placing his arms at his sides, forming a starting position.

Poison Rat was taken aback, and coldly spit out, “Idiot.”

Then he pulled back his fists, launching two fire fists at once.

Mu Fan was feeling the feedback of muscle strength; this sensation… it felt so real!

That subtle sense of exertion far surpassed his Light Computer helmet!

This wasn’t complete spirit simulation, but rather a form of direct muscle feedback.

Then Mu Fan pushed off with his hands, and with a bang!

He transformed into a blur!

His muscle strength erupted fully under 100% simulation.

The two fire fists flew past him, and before Poison Rat’s fists could ignite more flames, he found the figure already appearing before him.

Mu Fan’s bright eyes were almost on his face.

“Shit!”

Mu Fan’s right fist, like an Impact Hammer, shot out rapidly, striking heavily on Poison Rat’s chest.

With a “crack,” Poison Rat’s voice abruptly stopped.

“The system determines that the player Poison Rat’s ribs are broken, seven in total, with the third on the left piercing the heart, declaring this strike fatal.”

Then Mu Fan saw that the health bar representing Poison Rat’s HP went directly from full to empty.

Challenge successful!

Mu Fan’s personal information panel instantly updated.

“UnDC010091, One-Star- 10th Honored Hall Master of Mirror Sky Martial Arts Hall.”

Huh?

That was easy?

Mu Fan listened to the system prompts in astonishment and then a beep sounded.

“The treasured Fighting Skill, Flame Wave Fist, from this Martial Arts Hall is now available to you. Please check it.”
