When melee combat approaches ranged combat, it is bound to be tragic.

After firing ten times in a row, the soul guide cannon needs three seconds of cooling. Gu You made a judgment on the standard soul guide cannon in his hand.

It's not very powerful, but it causes a lot of trouble.

As he made the judgment in his mind, he turned on the thrusters.

The thrusters are on the back of the mecha and can assist the mecha in flying, accelerating, etc.

Generally speaking, melee mechas are faster than ranged mechas. Although they are large in size, melee mechas are actually lighter in weight, because unlike ranged mechas, they do not need to carry larger soul guide batteries to maintain ranged attacks.

Just as Gu You's thrusters were turned on, the thrusters on the other side started moving. If Gu You was a step slower, he would be hit directly.

The two figures almost crossed each other, and once again distanced themselves from each other. This time, both sides had already flown into the air.

The melee mecha reacted extremely quickly. The moment it didn't hit Gu You, the heavy sword in his hand was swung out and flew out of his hand.

The heavy sword drew a black light in the air, and instantly caught up with Gu You, whose speed had just slowed down after the thrusters had finished propulsion. Whether it was the control of timing or the accuracy, the melee mecha's attack could be described as perfect.

Is this artificial intelligence so powerful?
Gu You was surprised, but his reaction was not slow at all. According to the rules of mecha warfare, if a mecha was destroyed, even if the soul master inside still had combat power, he would be judged as the loser.

As he bent down, Gu You's long-range mecha made a very strange movement, and the whole body flipped sideways in the air, and at the same time, he gently pushed up with the butt of the soul guide cannon in his hand, and swung the heavy sword away.

At this moment, the melee mecha had already activated its secondary attack and flew straight towards Gu You.

"Boom...!" Six balls of light shot out almost at the same time.

Gu You launched the soul guide cannon in his hand when he lost his balance and flipped sideways in the air.

Six shells directly blocked the melee mecha's path.

He did not fire the cannon the moment he rolled over to avoid the heavy sword, but fired when the opponent activated the thrusters for the second time and was in the process of rapid advancement. Because during this high-impact process, it is difficult for a melee mecha to change direction. If it is forced to change direction, not only will the mecha itself have to bear a huge impact, but the soul master inside will also have to bear a huge impact. Only when the operation level is extremely high and the mecha is strong enough will the charge to change direction be used.

Gu You's opponent's melee mecha did not change direction, but chose to hold on.

The power of the long-range soul guide cannon is not enough to break the melee mecha's protective shield with just a few shots. While resisting, his body slightly deflected, avoiding four of the six shells, leaving only two of them hitting his protective shield.

With two roars, the mecha paused in the air for a moment, the impact force was still there. Gu You's mecha also took this opportunity to increase the distance again.

After pausing, the melee mecha did not rush forward again, but dived towards the ground to pick up the sword on the ground.

Melee mechas have no weapons, so they are at a disadvantage when facing ranged mechas of the same level. Gu You's instant six-gun coverage attack and the timing of the attack have made the mecha master in the melee mecha realize that the one in front of him is not a soft persimmon and is not as easy to deal with as he imagined.

Is this human control or AI control? Gu You was confused for a moment. It felt like a robot, but it also felt a little different.

"Boom--" A cannonball flew out with incredible precision, its target was not the mecha, but the sword on the ground.

The shells hit the handle of the heavy sword, and the heavy sword bounced up into the air. Then three more shells appeared in front of the melee mecha in a triangular shape, blocking his way to chase the heavy sword.

The melee mecha shifted its body and sank suddenly, avoiding the attack of three shells, but the heavy sword had already flown dozens of meters into the air.

Gu You's mecha accelerated in the air and arrived in front of the heavy sword. He grabbed the heavy sword with his left hand.

It must be said that the mecha had a lot of experience in close combat. When he saw Gu You trying to grab the heavy sword, he had already jumped up and activated the thrusters behind him without hesitation, and this time he went all out. His target was the heavy sword. Even if he had to take a few shots, he had to get his sword back.

But it was obvious that Gu You had already caught him. At this moment, the melee mecha suddenly emitted a bright light, and countless ice cones formed around it, swarming towards Gu You.

Can you finally bear it no longer?
It looks like a real person.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Gu You's mouth.

Most of the top mecha masters are also soul masters. Soul masters have soul skills. Soul masters who choose melee mechas naturally need to have their own abilities that match the mechas. This melee mecha master finally couldn't help but release his soul skills. In the battle between mecha masters, under normal circumstances, whoever releases his soul skills first will be at a disadvantage, because the opponent will know what his martial soul is earlier.

Ice cones condense and cover the attack.

Gu You did not release his martial spirit. He reached out with his left hand and grabbed the heavy sword. Then, the heavy sword swung in the air, creating a layer of sword shadows.

The three-foot sword light was not strong, but it accurately hit each ice cone. In the air, a large piece of ice mist exploded.

Accompanied by a series of roars, ten shells suddenly emerged from the ice fog, completely covering the melee mecha that rushed up in an instant.

Covered by the ice fog, the melee mecha didn't see how Gu You attacked. The purpose of sending out the ice cone was to delay Gu You so that he could get closer.

But what was unexpected was that even after grabbing the heavy sword, Gu You had no intention of increasing the distance again. He used the sword to break the ice cone, but the soul guide cannon in his right hand fired ten shells at the fastest speed at a very close distance.

The melee mecha almost completely crashed into it head-on. Amid the violent explosion, the power of the ten shells that exploded one after another smashed the mecha down from the air. The energy of the melee mecha's protective shield dropped by as much as 80%.

Gu You then turned around and ran away, once again increasing the distance and giving his soul cannon some cooling time.

The melee mecha landed, and the only feeling at this time was frustration. This was also the feeling of all melee mechas when they were unable to get close to the ranged mechas.

"Give up." The mecha on the other side turned into a beam of light and disappeared. The words above Gu You's head changed to two wins and zero losses. The mecha battle and the soul master battle were actually superimposed.
