Chapter 59: Thorn Rose
After remembering the feeling, she connected her mental power to the mech system, trying to use her mental power to control stretching her arms and kicking her legs. After trying both, Layla decided to use manual exercises for the time being.
Although the mental power connection felt very smooth, after all, it had never been operated in this way before, and the opponent was a very strong one, so she could not tolerate a little mistake. So to be on the safe side, Layla still closed the mind control connection.
In this way, once she found that she could not beat the opponent, she could also use her mental power as her last resort. This was also the moment that she wanted to see if she could utilize her singing as a form of attack.
In theory, if she could use her song to calm mental riots. Maybe, she could also use her song to stir trouble with the opponent’s flow of mental power. She already checked out the rules and she found out that this was a clear loophole.
Was this cheating? In a way, maybe yes. But her advantage lies with the fact that she was a 3S level healer with a unique skill of singing.
Her curiosity got the best of her. It was like when she was back in her old earth’s life during her college days when she joined a coding contest wherein she found out a loophole that she exploited to win. Was she branded as cheating? No. Because without her talent, this loophole could not be exploited at all.

Layla drove the mecha into the arena, and under the scrutiny of the people on the high platform, she gave a battle salute to each other and then took their positions.
A dark blue message popped up on the display.

It was still shocking to watch it again, Layla even trembled when she confirmed it.
“Yes.” The word fell and the barrier between the two disappeared immediately. It was also at that moment that Layla quickly entered the command and rushed towards the opponent.
Since experience was not dominant, what about agility?
The blue-white mecha, already known for its speed, flashed past like a stray bullet and the naked eye could barely catch a vague shadow. At the same time, she opened the barrel and took aim.
Boom—
After a second boost of acceleration, the light energy cannon with blue light spun and flew towards the thorny rose standing in place.
Fast, fierce, and accurate.
Not giving the other party any chance to retreat.
The powerful energy almost ignited the surrounding air. It was conceivable how tragic the result would be if it was hit by this cannon. However, to Layla’s surprise, Rose Thorn did not move.
No, to be precise, Rose Thorn did not move a step, but calmly drew out the two knives on both sides of the mecha. At that moment, it was very fast and very long. The hand raised and the knife fell.
Kaka—
The shell that could blow up a city was cut in half like this. The cut surface was smooth and flat, slowly staggering and falling with the force of gravity. The moment it was about to explode in the air, Thorn Rose exerted force on her feet and quickly retreated.
At the same time, Layla, who could not stop the car because of too much driving force, was about to enter the area affected by the explosion. Thorn Rose’s fans could not help but clench their fists and screamed: “Go for the win!”
Thick smoke billowed, completely covering the two figures in the arena. Some viewers anxiously probed to find out the result.
“What’s the matter? Did Thorn Rose win?”
“I’m sure the opponent charged too hard and it is impossible to stop it.”
After the words fell, the dust and the smoke dispersed, revealing two entangled figures. They were both holding knives in both hands and they were separated with one blow and they attacked each other in the next second.
“How is it possible?” Someone could not help but exclaimed.
Just now, under the watchful eyes of everyone, they clearly saw that other other party had already entered the explosion zone! Why was it unscathed?
Time rewinds a few seconds ago…
When Layla discovered that the opponent was able to cut off the shells with its bare hands, she knew that she was going to fall this time and she was not a player of the same magnitude with the opponent at all!
Thorn Rose’s strength was not comparable to that group of people she once saw in the training ground of freshmen mecha department combat arena. Thorn Rose was too strong…whether it was the absolute suppression of strength or the agile reaction speed.
However, Layla did not want to give up just yet. And it was not her style to catch her without a fight.
When Layla was about to enter the zone of absolute death affected by the shells, Layla immediately mobilized her SSS-level mental power to quickly find the one she wanted among the many data streams. At this time, it reflected the benefits of her choosing to operate the mecha in the first place.
Layla searched for the data flow inside the light energy bomb with her perception and at the same time controlled the mecha, took off with one foot, and jumped onto the protective barrier on one side.
While conveying the instruction to delay the explosion to the inside of the light bomb, she flew to the other side that was not affected by the elasticity of the protective film. Almost the moment she escaped, huge energy swept the audience.
There was no time to ignite and fly, it all happened too fast.
This was to say, Layla was quick-witted and able to operate at both ends in a critical moment, so that she was not blown out of the field. She let herself fall freely in the air, preparing to use the wall as a cushion when she was close to the ground.
However, what she did not expect was that Thorn Rose deserved to be the woman who could be ranked number one. She found Layla’s direction accurately and picked her up.
The sharp blade was wrapped with powerful heat energy, and struck diagonally from below Layla. This knife went down, judging from the strength of her cutting off the shells, the mecha would undoubtedly be useless, and it was hard to say whether the people in the cabin could be intact.
Moreover, when Layla fell, it was too sudden. She could not pop out the heal knife to fight back. In the first five minutes of the game, she once again faced an absolute dead end.
