According to the latest intel, there are two stronger ones among the Bright Mechs which possess similar strengths to those of the Black-Clothed Generals. Furthermore, the Great Light Mechs possess a much stronger strength that could possibly be categorized in the realm of level six. Even the academy was considering mobilizing the Instructor Squad to attack them.


Level six…
Medero lowered her head.
Promoting from level five to level six has a very crucial threshold. It would be impossible to attain level six without inheriting a Mech, and if that were the case, the opponent’s body and Willpower definitely plays a huge role.


Indeed. We are currently taking steps to gather more intel. An Inherited Mech would have involved a lot of regions and it’s impossible for them to appear out of nowhere.


Update me as soon as you have any results.

Even Medero had lost her cool as the Inherited Mech was involved, as that was a demarcation line for a Pilot. Any pilots who were level five and below were just Model Mechs where the Willpower and Pilots were separated. After attaining level six, the Pilots would merge with the Mech and fuse into a terrifying state, and the differences in strength would be drastically far apart.

Even though it looks like it’s only one level apart, only people of our level are able to understand the difference in strength and the difficulty in attaining such strength. We’re lucky that the Great Light Mech decided to not go on a killing spree. Did he not show his full strength? What’s the point of that then? There’s definitely a huge motive for them to infiltrate into Blackboard Region!
Medero was lost in her deep thoughts.


Twelve Flying Dragon Fist!

Garen punched with only one of his hands. Many afterimages of his fist landed on Celine’s elite bodyguard.
Twelve holes were punched through the bodyguard’s white suit by these densely packed punches, revealing his undershirt. He was able to render the bodyguard helpless with pure air pressure as he fell unconscious to the ground.

Twelve Flying Dragon Fist!
a similar roar could be heard behind Garen. That was Celine. This girl didn’t seem to behave like a girl at all as she sprinted towards Garen in her high-strength alloy wire clothing as she mimicked Garen’s battle skills.
She took the opportunity to flank him while Garen was dealing with the bodyguard.
Garen turned around and countered the punches with his other hand.

Too slow, and you lack strength!

Boom boom boom boom…
The punches clashed against each other and Celine was pushed back, sliding on the ground as if she was a deflated ball…

The essential of the Flying Dragon Fist is that it can react to the course of the battle at any given moment. Once the opponent has lost his momentum to any of the punches, you can turn these feint punches into actual punches. This same concept can be used on Mechs during battle as well, which is also the basis of my teaching to you.

Garen walked towards Celine confidently and reached out his hands as he attempted to pick her up.

An opening!!
Celine laughed as she released her Twelve Flying Dragon Fist, where all twelve punches were aiming at Garen’s weak point, the armpit.

It’s pointless.

Garen gently moved to the side as he easily avoided these afterimages. However, Celine unexpectedly changed her course of attack and slapped onto Garen’s waist.
Slap!

Interesting,
Garen was stunned that he was touched by a beginner when he’d let his guard down. Although it was an ambush, it was a very rare event.
Although he wasn’t very adept in the arts of evading and quick reaction, he was still a top-class martial artist.

Fuck! It’s so tough! It’s hurts!!!
Celine immediately felt that something was wrong when she hit Garen with all her might. Her palm was swollen and red immediately.
How do you even get this kind of tough body!


I’m your master. Don’t you think I should have something hidden under my sleeve?
Garen laughed.
According to our promise, I will only teach you the basics of martial arts and Twelve Flying Dragon Fist. How you develop in the future will depend entirely on you.

Combining his physical attributes, which were twice as high as a typical person’s, and the simple theory of Qigong, he was able to harden his skin to a certain degree to easily counter against Celine’s futile attack.

Skills under your sleeve? I like it! I want to learn!
Celine’s eyes were glowing. This person was a martial arts fanatic and would immediately hop up and down the moment she heard something that interested her. In an instant, she pounced to Garen’s side.
Teach me! Just let me know what you want in return!


These things are useless in Mechs. Why do you want to learn them?
Garen said hopelessly.

That’s true…
Celine was disappointed.
Whatever. I think I’m more suited to the Willpower Martial Art.


Willpower Martial Art is the strongest battle skill for a pilot,
Garen nodded.

However, the good bits are the abilities that are derived from the Willpower itself. If their martial arts are of equal level, then these abilities will decide the victor of the battle,
Celine shook his head.

While Willpower Abilities are very powerful, you shouldn’t look down on martial arts,
Garen frowned as he felt that Celine’s concept was rather wrong.

There are many strong pilots with powerful Willpower Abilities such as Frozen Wing, Fiery Storm, and even Phantom Superimpose, Prediction. Furthermore, rumor has it that there are even stronger ones, such as traveling through space and attacking or defending against their opponents with dimensional shards,
Celine looked in another direction.

Travelling through space…
Garen was stunned as well. As Nonosiva’s level was too low, he didn’t have information regarding the scenarios above him. Now that Celine had told him about their prowess, he finally understood the true strength of the Willpower arts.

These things are too far away from us so let’s not think about them. What else do you have that can be applied to Mechs. Teach me, teach me!
Celine was holding onto Garen’s hand as she kept shouting. Since she was in her tight body attire, her breast and slim waist were sticking tightly onto Garen’s body, as if she was a spoiled child.
Their positions looked rather sexual as Celine’s height was only slightly shorter than Garen. Even the bodyguard had quietly left the training room as he closed the door.

My path is different than yours so there are very limited theories that I can teach you, and even fewer can be applied to Mechs,
after Garen had achieved level one Willpower, he was thinking if he should increase his absorption rate. However, this would naturally bring some trouble to him. There would definitely be someone who would try to pull him down once his techniques had further improved. On the other hand, Celine’s household would be a bridge to the outer world, where he could complete his breakthrough.
Celine herself didn’t place money as her first priority. When interacting with her, she seemed to be very interested in martial arts and this meant that there shouldn’t be any issue with cooperating with her.
Garen was considering if he should deepen his partnership with her.

Celine, I have a feeling that I will have a breakthrough in Willpower so I feel like traveling about outside, but…


What’s wrong? If you want to go out, just go. There’s nothing to worry about,
Celine released Garen unhappily after realizing that he had changed the topic.

Ever since there’s been a new breakthrough in my technique, I’ve felt that I’ve too many shares on my end. Hence… I plan to reduce the shares in my hand. Can you help me find a suitable candidate?
Garen said softly.
If he were to increase his production of this high energy powder, Garen knew that he would not be able to hold on to forty percent of his share.

This might be a problem,
seeing that he’d decided to discuss an important matter, Celine had become serious as well.
We, the Veron Household, may be able to absorb this. How much more can you increase your production?

Garen knew that the Veron Household had networked themselves to the upper levels without any issues as they held a considerable amount of authority. During this period of interaction with Celine, he’d suspected that the Veron Household might possess an Inherited Mech, which was a level six elite. It wouldn’t even be a problem for them to live well over hundreds of years. According to Celine, the pilot would fuse with the Mech once they reached level six. Their body would evolve together with the Mech and enter a completely different realm. Hence the stage a level six pilot stood upon was vastly different from those below, as their life, lifespan, physical attributes would all increase tremendously.
After calculating the production rate in detail mentally, Garen estimated the amount that he needed to exhaust. Now that he was able to stand firmly and could improve his strength at a faster pace, he made his decision.

Approximately ten times or more than the current production rate!


Ten times!
Celine’s eyes were opened wide.
That nets you tens of millions per month! What the fuck!! That’s my annual expenditure!!!


Your expenditure is that huge!?
Garen was stunned as well.

Yes. During this period of learning martial arts with you, I’ve returned last month and eliminated a branch household’s candidate so our ranking has increased. Heh.
 Celine was very proud of herself.

Your household has branches?
Garen couldn’t help but feel that the Veron Household was quite mysterious.

To be precise, we are the branch household and the main household is one of the fifteen households of the Mother Planet Federation,
Celine said with a slight degree of arrogance.
This profit is too huge and I don’t dare to take up your offer as this involves a change in the market and will affect the original values of the share market. We alone would not be able to absorb such a huge amount.


Then who do you think is able to take up such an amount?
Garen asked softly.

The Blackboard Region will definitely be affected, as this production rate would definitely catch the attention of the higher-ups. After all, these are military resources,
Celine had gradually calmed down.
I think… you’re not on the right path. Perhaps you can communicate with the higher-ups of the academy with this technology since you’re already on the academy’s radar. Someone has already caught wind of your technique.


Communicate with the higher-ups? Who should I contact? Minister Britney?
Garen wasn’t familiar with these people. After knowing how troublesome this issue was, he was considering if he should go to the rainbow stone’s production area alone to absorb everything at once to avoid all the complicated issues. However, this would attract everyone’s attention after leaving behind all the high energy powder. In addition, this was a good way to earn money as well, so he didn’t want to throw everything down the drain.
He didn’t need to force himself to improve drastically in such a short amount of time as it wasn’t bad for him to improve at a steady pace as well.

I know of an honorable noble in the Polar Region. He has slightly more authority there and great influence as well. That person likes martial arts as much as I do too. However, I’ll give you a heads up that I’m not too close to him and I’m only in contact with him purely because of martial arts. We stand on equal footing and neither of us is better than the other,
Celine explained.
Their Mech’s strength is as good as ours. As long as you’re okay with it, I can introduce him to you.


Honorable noble…
typically in the Polar Region, only the nobles from the royal bloodline were able to be crowned as an honorable noble. These people often had strong backgrounds and shouldn’t be messed with. Naturally, they possessed tremendous power and would be ranked higher than Celine or even Britney. This person was indeed a big shot and those who were able to contact him were definitely very important people as well.
Naturally, there were very few of these people.

I’ll wait for your good news then,
Garen decided after some thought.
I heard that if one has a good network, one can also become a noble in the Polar Region, right?


That’s true, but there’s an annual limit and you’ll be able to obtain a very small amount of land. The cost is very huge and there will be a rental period as well. Why do you ask? Do you have such an intention?
Celine questioned.
Well, you can just buy yourself into nobility once your income has increased.


It is my dream to have my own land…
Garen acted as if he was looking forward to it, but in actual fact, what he wanted was to find a land that could give him a huge number of Rainbow stones. This way, no one would be able to interrupt him as he absorbed all of them in peace. This was the reason why he wanted a plot of land!
Furthermore, there were a lot of things and experiments that he wanted to keep off the radar. He didn’t dare to fool around in the academy grounds as there were a lot of surveillance and powerful people around.
