"Mars, 2063 cha Fighting Arena, first round matchup list...
Level 1 chanical Knight Costa from Boiling cha Hall versus Level 1 chanical Knight Jordan from Red Mountain cha Hall.
Level 1 chanical Knight Kruzer from Heavenly chanical Pavilion versus Level 1 chanical Knight Beardsley from Tornado Flow........"
As the host's voice rang out, the matchup list produced by the lottery imdiately appeared on the massive virtual screen in the center of the venue. Subsequently, the knights listed drove their respective Combat chas through specialized passages towards the central fighting arena.
The central fighting arena's automatic lifting platforms, after the opening performance, swiftly split into sixteen spreading arenas. Each arena was divided by retractable tal walls asuring three ters thick and twenty ters high.
Looking down from the control center at the highest point of the venue, two hundred sixty ters high, the chas entering the arena resembled ants. Even though the trapezoidal stands around extended significantly towards the center and the giant virtual screen hung in the center, the arena's area was vast enough for these chas, ranging in height from four to eight ters, to leap and move freely.
Since it was a close combat match and for safety reasons, all long-range weapons on the chas were strictly prohibited.
Regarding this point, the Fei Alliance Guard Force showed no leniency; any cha attempting to enter the central comrcial area with devices that could cause misunderstanding would end up as a pile of scrap tal at best.
However, modifications to enhance chas' close combat performance were not restricted. This was inherently the thrilling part of cha competitions, as long as the rules prohibiting long-range weaponry were not violated, chas could be modified in any way.
There are hundreds of sects in the Mars Free World. Even though each sect had only four spots, the total number of participants reached over three thousand. Thus, when setting the competition format, Cheng Zhixuan imposed restrictions. Knights and above directly entered the main tournant, while those below underwent preliminary rounds to compete for the remaining five hundred spots.
The tournant lasted only one day. These thousand participants fought according to the schedule, with matches held simultaneously in seven sections. The main pavilion hosted matches for knights and above. The top four from each section would compete for the sixteen spots in which, aside from the two reserved for Tai Sect and Absolute Kill Stream, the remaining fourteen would be contested.
Absolute Kill Stream and Tai Sect were the first to pledge allegiance to the Feiyang Republic, and being the ruling sects of the forr Free Port, they enjoyed such special treatnt, which was entirely understandable. Everyone knew this was the Fei Alliance setting an example for all sects, while also demonstrating to the Sect Mutual Aid Alliance that still refused to comply.
The ssage from the Feiyang people was clear—here, the Feiyang people were in charge. Otherwise, no matter who you were, no matter how famous, don't expect any fair treatnt, including the bandit army led by Leray people, who independently took over the entire Mars Free Port! Now it's only the seed selection qualification for entering the top sixteen in the cha Tournant; what cos next is unknown!
While holding the competition list, spectators marveled at Feiyang's dominance, and discussions were rife.
For this tournant, Absolute Kill Stream's seed entry into the top sixteen was Kirburn, who was both the sect master and the highest-ranked War God among Mars ch knights, leaving no room for doubt. However, Tai Sect surprisingly let Nakagawa Daiki and two other chanical Commanders compete for top sixteen spots, giving seed selection qualification to an unknown knight nad Utherred Ammon, which left everyone astonished.
Many people inquired about this knight nad Ammon but, other than being speculated as a Tai Sect's secret weapon, they couldn't find any other answer. People knew nothing about this individual.
Even many spectators who were or had been Tai Sect disciples had never heard of this person. His appearance, age, rank, the cha he piloted, and his abilities were unknown. Almost instantaneously, this individual beca a topic of conversation amongst all spectators. Regardless of any speculations, only after four p.m., when the top sixteen erged, would the answer co to light!
Currently, the knights who made it into the list of a thousand contestants represented the highest level of cha fighting on this planet. The more than three hundred knights and over a hundred commanders who directly qualified by reputation, plus the five hundred winners of the preliminary rounds who stood out from thousands, all displayed exceptional prowess.
The Sect War paused the chanical knight rank assessnt for a long period. These knights, although without the title of chanical knight, many among them even hold the qualification to challenge chanical commanders. Mars Free Channel was indeed ho to many hidden talents.
Cheng Zhixuan was naturally pleased with this outco. Besides lavishly wooing these winning knights who entered the main tournant, he also prepared registered rosters for the defeated knights. The ground forces dispatched by the Feiyang Republic's Mars Front Army included only one regular armored division, the 107th, whose combat power was evidently insufficient. The newly established Mars 3rd Armored Division was in need of these individuals' joining.
For Feiyang, weaponry and equipnt were insignificant. Exchanging a batch of chas for an armored division was evidently a substantial bargain. For Cheng Zhixuan, these individuals were the best tools to rival the bandit army in Mars Free World and eventually marginalize the Sect Mutual Aid Alliance, then swallow it whole.
