[Individual battle/Team battle. ]

In the lounge, after taking care of trivial matters, Xu Yue's next stop is the long-lost arena, and if nothing unexpected happens, he should spend most of his time fighting here.

Up to now, his arena ranking has only climbed to over 3,000. Although the remaining time in the park is not enough for him to directly move up to the top 100, it should not be a problem for him to sprint to the top 1,000 with some effort.

"Personal battle."

[Matching opponents for hunters...]

[Current Hunter Ranking: 3580 (Level )]

[Matching is successful. The hunter will be teleported to the arena in 5 seconds. Please be ready. ]

Five seconds later, the familiar feeling of teleportation appeared on time. Xu Yue only felt the light and shadow flashing in front of his eyes. When the picture returned to normal, the scene in front of him had changed from the lounge to a wide square arena.

At the same time, noisy sounds were heard from all directions, mixed with bursts of loud whistles and shouts. When the competition ranking reached within 5000, the audience seats for each competition were basically full.

Even though the number of 5,000 may seem a bit low, it corresponds to all the second-level contractors in the entire Paradise City.

Therefore, its combat power comparison can basically be regarded as the upper-middle level among all second-level ones. At least for most employees and low-level contractors, this level of combat is already quite worthy of viewing.

Ignoring the excited spectators outside the arena, Xu Yue lowered his eyes to look at his opponent who was more than ten meters away.

She was a girl who looked particularly petite. Her body, less than 1.6 meters tall, was completely wrapped in a streamlined mechanical armor. Even her pretty face was mostly covered by a pair of light yellow goggles.

Just at a glance, you can easily identify what type of contractor is on the other side.

Compared with other sequences, the mechanical side relies relatively less on its own attributes, but it needs to be equipped with a large number of mechanical creations to make up for the lack of various combat capabilities, so its external features will appear particularly eye-catching.

On the other side of the arena, when Xu Yue glanced at his opponent, the other party did the same thing.

But unlike his indifferent look down, because of the significant difference in height between the two sides, the girl from the Mechanical Department on the opposite side could only look up. Even through a thick layer of goggles, Xu Yue could still feel the extremely strong provocation in the other's eyes.

"Hey, big guy over there, are you a tank?"

The girl's voice was full of energy, and as soon as she finished speaking, before Xu Yue could reply, she spoke again:

"What a coincidence, so am I!"

"Remember, my name is Titan!"

The voices were gradually replaced by deep mechanical sounds. Looking around, one saw a heavy mecha that was over three meters tall rapidly emerging from the void. In an instant, the petite girl from the mechanical department on the opposite side was completely transformed into a real behemoth.

The shape of the mecha is similar to Iron Monger in "Iron Man 1", but it looks more domineering and heavy overall, and it holds a huge steel hammer as tall as a person in its hand.

Just by casually hitting the ground, the exaggerated weight of the giant hammer caused the ground below to tremble slightly. It is conservatively estimated that its weight should be several tons.

"How cool! Titan's transformation is still so exciting no matter how many times I see it!"

"Haha, you look stupid, smash that big guy on the opposite side!"

"Mechas are the eternal trump card of the mechanical side!"

…………

As this exceptionally sturdy mecha took shape, the cheers in the audience seats instantly boiled over; they loved watching such "big scenes"!
At this moment in the arena, the appearance of the mecha suddenly reversed the situation between the two. A pair of scarlet electronic eyes looked down, and although it was a hoarse and cold mechanical sound, it revealed an extremely strong sense of mockery.

"Now it's your turn to be a little guy, haha!"

On the other hand, the opponent's crude provocation did not disturb Xu Yue's emotions at all. Even when he saw the mecha taking shape, the Fang Tian Hua Ji that he was about to summon out of his body was quietly retracted.

The hellfire that he had just mastered was boiling and surging in his body, and even the depths of his eyes, which were supposed to be pitch black, were gradually stained with a hint of dark red, like sticky magma that was about to erupt from deep underground.

Since the Hellfire can easily transform his Dodge Tomahawk, can it also transform the opponent's mecha into hell?

【The competition begins! 】

While he was thinking, a line of large characters suddenly appeared in the sky, and then the transparent wall across the center of the arena disappeared immediately.

The moment the obstacle disappeared, there was a loud bang, and the more than ten-ton assault-type mecha suddenly turned into a high-speed steel train, rushing towards Xu Yue's position at a speed that was seriously inconsistent with its size.

"Cold-blooded guy, die!"

The low roar was blown away by the fierce hurricane caused by the high-speed movement. The next second, the mecha had already rushed in front of Xu Yue, and the huge steel hammer in his hand was swung up. With the blessing of the charge, the hammer turned into an unrecognizable silver light and smashed down directly on Xu Yue's head.

Before the huge hammer arrived, the surging wind pressure had already torn Xu Yue's clothes apart, causing them to rustle.

Looking up, he saw the steel hammer, which was several centimeters wider than his entire body, rapidly approaching the center of his sight. It was like a large hydraulic press that had been magnified several times. It seemed that the moment it pressed down, it would completely crush his entire body into a pool of broken flesh and blood.

The howling wind pressure hit his face, but Xu Yue, who was under the heavy hammer, still had no intention of moving his feet to dodge. Only the dark silver light began to flow rapidly through his body, transforming every inch of his flesh, blood, and bones into a strong creature made of steel and iron.

If we only talk about strength, Xu Yue in this state is comparable to a top-notch humanoid equipment of dark purple quality, and is definitely not inferior to the mecha on the opposite side.

After completing the metalization, his legs sank slightly, and his fist, which had completely turned silver, suddenly swung out with all his strength. "Bang!!"

The next moment, the ground beneath his feet began to crumble into pieces under the heavy pressure. The rising smoke and dust mixed with a huge and turbulent sound wave rolled and spread, and even in the audience seats in the distance, there were bursts of irrepressible exclamations.

"He actually blocked it head-on, awesome!"

"This must be the main tank of a certain adventure group. He dared not dodge or evade the blow of a giant hammer weighing several tons. It's a bit too exaggerated. This scene alone is completely worth the price of the ticket!"

"Main tank? No, if I'm not mistaken, the one off the field should be a famous blacksmith. Um... I should say a very famous blacksmith."

"It doesn't matter. Whether he's a main tank or a blacksmith, I like his head-on fighting style! It's much more exciting than mechas. I hope he has more than one match today."

…………

Not to mention the uproar in the audience, the girl from the mechanical department who was the mecha pilot also felt a sense of horror at this moment, and her feelings were even more profound.

The heavy hammer she had just swung with the force of the charge was already her full strength. With this blow, she was confident that she could easily smash even a solid bronze statue into pieces. However, she was unexpectedly blocked by her opponent's flesh and blood body. She saw clearly that the opponent did not even summon up a single piece of protective equipment during the entire process.

"Not good, it seems I met a big boss..."

The murmurs were soon replaced by the increasingly intensifying sound of metal breaking. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw tiny cracks rapidly spreading from the front end of the giant hammer that was forcibly stopped in mid-air along the entire hammer body.

The cracks were like a spider web, and in an instant they densely covered the entire hammer body. Then there was a loud bang, and countless pieces of the hammer flew everywhere like sparks, and even the surrounding airflow was torn apart, making sharp and piercing sounds.

As the metalization strength continues to increase, under the special passive ability of "Piercing Mountains and Breaking Peaks", any metal equipment whose material hardness has not reached dark purple will end up being shattered into pieces by Xu Yue in a head-on collision with him in a more tough manner.

[Tip: The durability of 'R3 Armor Breaker' has been reset to zero, and the equipment has been broken.]

"etc………"

The powerful recoil brought by the shattering of the giant hammer in his hand caused the Honor-type mecha on the field to retreat several steps. In the cockpit, Titan, who had not yet recovered from the bad news of his broken equipment, had just stabilized the precarious balance of the mecha and was about to say something when his words were interrupted by the surging dark red flames in front of him.

On the right side of the arena, after forcibly shattering the heavy hammer attacking from the front, Xu Yue shook his numb right arm, and then quickly pulled out his legs that were deeply stuck in the broken ground.

Although the mechanical equipment looks intimidating, its construction method, which is composed of a large number of parts, is destined to have some shortcomings in terms of sturdiness.

These shortcomings may not matter much under normal circumstances, but when the opponent is someone who is familiar with the characteristics of various equipment, these tiny shortcomings will be infinitely magnified into major flaws that are fatal.

Glancing at the heavy mecha that was retreating on the opposite side, Xu Yue looked calm. To deal with this bulky steel creation, he was fully capable of disintegrating it into wreckage with his bare hands within ten seconds. However, compared to simple destruction, he now had another better choice.

The mana in his body surged like a torrent towards the Burning Fire in his dantian, and then a large amount of hellfire rose up and quickly transformed into several dark red flaming snakes that pounced straight towards the heavy mecha not far away.

And at the moment the two came into contact, the originally thick fire snake suddenly disintegrated into countless tiny streams of light, ignoring the layers of armor and drilling straight into the interior of the mecha from different parts.

Soon, the flying lights disappeared completely, but the heavy mecha that was still in the same place seemed to have no change. Just as the spectators on the periphery were puzzled, the next moment, boiling dark red flames suddenly gushed out from the inside of the mecha, instantly turning it into a burning human-shaped torch.

The heat waves rolled, and under the reflection of the dark red flames, the mecha in the center of the torch suddenly raised its head and roared, and then hideous metal bone spurs began to pierce out from various parts one by one, and at the same time the overall shape of the mecha was also rapidly changing.

The already sturdy body is now gradually becoming more ferocious. Sharp claws grow on its broad limbs, and a thorny steel dragon tail grows directly from the tail vertebrae. Just by casually slapping it, it can cut irregular deep cracks on the flat surface below.

In addition to the body, the changes in the mecha's head are even more exaggerated. The scarlet electronic eyes are occupied by two balls of boiling flames, above which are two winding demon horns, and below is a slit mouth full of sharp metal teeth. When the teeth intersect, sparks suddenly fly everywhere...

In just a few breaths, the entire mecha had become unrecognizable. If it once resembled a burly warrior in heavy armor, it is now a veritable metal demon.

To the hellfire, as long as there is no strong resistance in the mind and will, these so-called metal parts can be easily squeezed and flattened by it until they are corroded and transformed, completely turning into semi-hellish creatures controlled by flames.

The transformation of the mecha was completed. As for the girl on the mechanical side who was supposed to be the actual controller inside the mecha, she had lost all control over this mechanical creation from the moment the hellfire completed its invasion.

The outside world's view was completely covered by the raging dark red flames. Before they could react to what was happening, a pair of hot metal claws had torn open the cockpit deep in the chest and forcibly grabbed out the petite girl named Titan, who was actually less than 1.6 meters tall.

In the center of the arena, Xu Yue was standing opposite a metal demon wrapped in dark red flames, while her opponent, Titan, was held tightly by the sharp claws of the demon. As her five fingers contracted, she could even hear the crisp 'cracking' sound of her bones being constantly squeezed.

After losing the mecha she relied on most, her own attributes were not worth mentioning.

She quickly glanced at her heavy mecha, which had changed greatly in appearance, and immediately raised her hands and shouted:
"Please show some mercy, boss. I voted, I voted!!"

In fact, she had wanted to surrender as early as when the opponent shattered her sledgehammer with bare hands, but the situation developed too quickly and she had no chance to raise the white flag at all.

As for face? How much is face worth? Death in the arena is not a big deal, but broken equipment is really broken.

She didn't want the mecha that she had spent a huge amount of resources to get to eventually become scrap metal like that sledgehammer.

[The personal battle is over. 】

[Result: Victory. 】

【Fifty-four consecutive wins! 】

As the words "Fifty-four Consecutive Victories" appeared above the arena, the exclamations and shouts at the scene rose again. Xu Yue had already teleported away, and only the girl from the Mechanical Department remained on the spot with a painful look on her face.

While constantly picking up the broken mechanical parts around it, it kept humming.

"What a loss, what a loss, my Titan, wuu ...

"But the demon look before was pretty cool."
