It was a good thing that the members of Qiao Ting's team had all remembered the rules of the battle royale and did not shoot at the opponents' cockpit; otherwise, this round of unexpected beam attacks would have clipped a good portion of Feihong Military Academy's battle team members.

However, even so, red lights began to flash on many of the opponent mecha's screens. The A.I. began to repeatedly give the announcement, "You have died!" This announcement meant that that team member was eliminated. These mecha operators were so angry that they smashed the controls in the cockpit. The battle royale had just begun and they got eliminated before they did anything… Qiao Ting was so despicable. He even attacked other attacking teams… Was he not afraid that he would anger everyone?

Still angry, they landed their mecha on the ground and waited for the staff members of the battle royale to send transport to take them to the resting area. They decided that once they went back, they would watch Qiao Ting's group and see what happened to them in the very end.

Qiao Ting confused the opponent and took the enemy by surprise. However, as those who were able to become the attacking team, the other side's captain and some of their members were all quite capable. They reacted quickly and successfully dodged this round of treacherous sneak attacks.

Seeing this, Qiao Ting swung his right arm with great force. His team members saw this motion. All the close combat mecha, including balanced mecha, switched their weapons and held up cold weapons. They all moved towards the few mecha that were left.

At the same time, the long-range mechas quickly changed to their specialized sniper rifles, and they aimed towards the few special-class mechas that were still struggling after being surrounded.

Although those remaining mechas of Feihong Academy used kamikaze methods to try and bring down some of their opponent's mecha, this was still a one-sided battle. How could the long-range mecha armed with sniper rifles, who were watching them from the very beginning, give them a chance to commit kamikaze? When they saw the opponents' irregular movements, they instantly pulled the trigger and hit them, regrettably eliminating them from the tournament.

Qiao Ting saw that all the mechas had landed on the ground. He pulled out his short range beam gun and shot once towards an empty field not far from those mechas. This shot instantly melted the thick layer of snow on the ground. Not only that, but it also left a hole that was burnt black.

The expression of the captain from Feihong changed after seeing this. He heard the A.I. finally say the phrase, "You have died." His feigned death and defeat was seen through by the enemy. Qiao Ting used the last shot to tell him that in the face of a real enemy, Qiao Ting would shoot again at the cockpit in order to make sure the enemy was dead.

He had originally wanted to take the mecha's wreckage to their headquarters to tell his commander who had "killed" them. Qiao Ting's shot deprived him of that chance. Having "died", he would now be taken to the resting area by the staff members of the tournament. At the same time, all of his forms of communication were closed. He could only silently wait for the battle royale to end.

"I hope the commander and the others will quickly discover Qiao Ting's despicable behavior." The captain of Feihong Military Academy's team held only one hope.

After shooting that last shot, Qiao Ting put away his beam gun with satisfaction. Their first battle was perfect. Other than one close combat member who was hit by one opponent that was "dying" and had their mecha damaged by 30%, all the other members did not sustain any damage and were still at 100%.

"Little Lu, how long will it take to repair your mecha a bit?" Qiao Ting asked the member who had their mecha damaged.

Little Lu laughed weakly in response and said, "Captain, it's very difficult to recover to 100% with only the A.I.'s self-repair function. It can probably only repair to around 90% in the end…"
