Mecha Battle: Why Do You Use Body to Destroy Stars?

Chapter 159: Chapter 117 Traditional Combat is Really Great!_1

The inheritance of traditional combat has always been exclusive, often passing only between master and disciple.

Even the traditional combat kingdom itself, over a long period, has not been able to truly unite the world’s martial arts.

Jiang Chen, however, achieved this feat.

The power of the “Muscle Armor” he displayed successfully crushed the hearts of many traditional combat masters in the Martial Arts Way.

In addition, the traditional combat inheritance had already integrated with modern technology once, and these martial artists had witnessed how those holding on to the old ways were eliminated by the times.

To keep up with the new era of the “Muscle Armor” path, these masters of traditional combat brought out their most treasured secret techniques, hoping he could offer guidance and improvement.

Just like rivers flowing into the sea, numerous “Internal Strength Techniques” and “Martial Arts Secret Techniques” converged.

Jiang Chen’s mastery over the traditional combat system was rapidly improving.

However, the method of passing on traditional combat, for the most part, relied on written and pictorial records, and even oral tradition.

It was not as simple and quick as the supernatural ability powerhouse next door, which stored genetic technologies in computers that could be scanned in minutes.

Jiang Chen would have to extract a new path from the traditional combat inheritance.

This would require more time.

During this process, he saw that the time spent here was about to exceed twenty-four hours.

The mecha pilots who were chosen by the Abyss Rune and underwent the basic trials were about to return.

Consequently, he had Zero move out to receive them—

With the Abyss Calamity repelled, new abyss monsters would not appear in various places for now, and naturally, there would be no “survivors,” leading to a significant decrease in the frequency of the Abyss Rune’s emergence.

In other words, Xiang Jing and this batch of rookie mecha pilots were essentially the first batch of mecha pilots since the Earth Cataclysm civilization’s emergence.

As the first generation of mecha pilots, as long as their talents were not extremely poor or they did not fear the abyss, most could seize the opportunity and become the early powerful mecha pilots.

Therefore, Jiang Chen planned to observe them a bit and provide some guidance.

This was not about being altruistic.

Before a civilization has grown, its Fire Transmitter traits cannot be triggered.

Even the hope of a Fire Plunderer civilization would assist the corresponding civilization in growing during the advancement trials.

Fire Plunder and Fire Transmission simply diverge in subsequent choices.

The former treats the cultivated civilization as cultivated leeks—strengthening oneself; the latter supports the civilization in going further and becoming an ally…

At present, Planet Blue Star’s civilization has just started to breed its hope, and has not yet had the chance to touch higher levels.

“Speaking of which, during the advancement trials, one cannot trade modules or any high-grade tools and materials with the local mecha pilots.”

“What can be traded is only a portion of knowledge and materials from the bodies of abyss monsters produced locally.”

“Senior Li Xiao and the others used to find this strange…”

“Now it seems that a civilization must rely on its own strength to cross the abyss.”

“Otherwise, the mecha pilots of those ancient civilizations, by simply giving a set of top-tier equipment, could support a hopeful civilization.”

“The so-called abyss trials would undoubtedly become a joke.”

“Hmm… that being the case, perhaps one shouldn’t impart too much advanced knowledge either.”

“As Senior Yano once said, ‘The brighter the flame, the stronger the disaster it attracts.’”

“If too much knowledge is given and the civilization cannot fully digest it quickly enough, and a strong calamity is attracted, that would actually harm them…”

“One must grasp the right measure of assistance.”

A thread of doubt rose in Jiang Chen’s mind.

The various restrictions of the Abyss Rune, as well as the gradually unlocked permissions, seem to be nurturing and selecting the civilization with the strongest potential in the abyss…

What then, once selection is complete?

Planet Blue Star’s million mecha pilots, having gone through so many Age-Old Shadows and advancement trials.

The civilizations they came in contact with had infinite possibilities for development, infinite languages, and cultures, yet they all shared one common point.

The main body of these civilizations consisted of “humans.”

Not some oddly shaped, or even non-carbon-based life form “aliens.”

No, to be precise, there were “aliens.”

They seemed to be all categorized under “abyss monsters,” calamities that human civilizations had to confront.

Jiang Chen’s doubts were also those of many mecha pilots of Planet Blue Star.

Even Yano of the Gaia civilization had not provided an answer.

At this time, he continued to organize the traditional combat inheritance, and incidentally notified the countries to cooperate with Zero’s work to bring the first batch of surviving mecha pilots for centralized teaching.

Since he had already dealt with the local civilization, there was no harm in adding this bit of additional help.

At the moment, in the city where the underground oddities first appeared.

Due to Jiang Chen’s information, the mall was completely locked down, the stability forces stationed there were waiting to receive returning mecha pilots.

Among them was even a familiar young man.

Xiang Hui, with his status as a disciple of a traditional combat expert, his fame as a new genius, and as brother to Xiang Jing,

Successfully convinced the stabilizing force’s captain to let him wait there for the return.

In the meantime, he even received a call from his master, inviting him to go to the capital to visit that Enigmatic Mecha Pilot and exchange inheritances for guidance…

Xiang Hui hesitated for a moment but ultimately refused.

Although he greatly admired that mecha pilot, when compared, his sister’s safety was more important.

According to the mecha pilot’s earlier statement, the abyss trial was extremely dangerous.

If one did not have outstanding talent or superior martial skills, it was preferable to avoid combat and preserve the durability of the Mecha.

If one died in the abyss trial, that would be true death.
