Free Web NovelThe arbitrator, as per custom, explained the duel rules, then had the two Starships proceed to random'spawn points' to prepare for the upcoming Starship duel.
The video communication was still connecting.
Zhou Min was laughing hysterically, pointing at Zhao Wan'er opposite her, and scoffing, "Zhao Wan'er, are you trying to make me die of laughter to win this duel?
If that's the case, congratulations.
You almost won.
Using an Interstellar Frigate to fight an Interstellar Battleship, you're really something."
Zhao Wan'er's expression remained unchanged: "I hope you can still laugh later."
The video communication was cut off.
Zhou Min sneered, "An Interstellar Frigate still wants to show off? Just wait and see how I blast your Interstellar Frigate into smithereens!"
In the spectator stands, everyone was waiting for the duel to begin.
But the emotions were clearly polarized.
The students from Heaven's Glory Academy were all very happy, as if they were watching a comedy.
On the other side, at North Star Academy, a small portion had already left the venue.
Using an Interstellar Frigate to fight an Interstellar Battlecruiser, they couldn't even imagine what the plot would be like.
Perhaps the Interstellar Frigate's armor strength was very good and could withstand a few rounds of enemy ship bombardment.
But what about your firepower?
The firepower of an Interstellar Frigate is generally recognized as the lowest among all ship types.
And with such a small Starship, how many weapon modules can you equip?
How are you going to fight their Interstellar Battleship?
With your pathetic point-defense guns?
Don't make people laugh.
"Using an Interstellar Frigate to fight an Interstellar Battlecruiser, is this your esteemed school's education? It's truly astonishing." Deputy Dean Jia mercilessly mocked Vice-Dean Hong, with an expression of one watching a good show.
Vice-Dean Hong was actually very unsure himself; he glanced at Zhao Chen, who was still expressionless not far away.
Logically speaking, Zhao Chen shouldn't be the kind of person who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, but using an Interstellar Frigate to fight an Interstellar Battlecruiser...
This... this... there's no such combat lesson plan in the textbooks!
"Academic exchange... just academic exchange..." Vice-Dean Hong could only mutter.
Soon, both Interstellar Warship arrived at their'spawn points'.
The moment the arbitrator announced the start of combat.
Neither Interstellar Warship showed any intention of maneuvering, heading straight towards the direction of the enemy ship detected on their Starship radar.

"I can't wait °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° to see that bitch's expression now, get all gun emplacements ready!" Zhao Wan'er sat in the Captain's chair, her chest filled with suppressed rage.
Secretary Lilith and the other original Captain of this T2 Black Rhino stood on either side.
"Miss Wan'er, I don't think we need to fire this time." Secretary Lilith said. freeweɓnøvel.com
Zhao Wan'er was startled, looking at Lilith in confusion: "Don't fire? Then how do we win?"
"Among all the test items for the T2 Black Rhino, there's one that we haven't had a chance to do before.
I think, perhaps we can try it in this battle." Lilith said, a hint of slyness appearing in her eyes.
"What test?" Zhao Wan'er asked.
Lilith replied: "Hull collision experiments in actual combat."
Zhao Wan'er was stunned, then she showed a somewhat mischievous expression, understanding her meaning.
After a few minutes of navigation.
The two Starships were about to enter each other's firing range.

"Railguns, target that Interstellar Frigate!" Zhou Min immediately prepared to teach the opponent a lesson.
Using an Interstellar Frigate to fight her Interstellar Battlecruiser was truly overestimating herself.
"Report, ten railguns fully charged, ready to fire at any time!" The Executive Officer reported from the side.
Zhou Min stared at the Starship radar, sneering, "Let them get a little closer, open fire in one minute!"
"Yes."
Audience seating
Everyone stared at the live battlefield feed, two Starships, one large and one small, approaching each other.
Soon, they saw the T2 Purple Rose-class Medium Interstellar Battlecruiser make the first move.
Ten T2-class twin-barreled 200mm medium railguns opened fire.
Twenty metal shells exited the barrels at extremely high speed, then struck the Interstellar Frigate.
The metal shells landed one by one on the hull armor of the t2 black rhino-class interstellar heavy assault frigate, and the explosions produced a large amount of smoke and dust, momentarily covering the small 100-meter-long ship.
The students of North Star Academy began to worry about that genius student; Zhao Wan'er was quite popular among the students.
Xue Xiaoxiao had even clutched Zhao Chen's clothes at some point, showing that she was very worried about her best friend.
A few seconds later, a small silhouette burst out of the smoke.
Almost at this moment, everyone stood up, staring dumbfounded at the small ship.
"This... this... how is this possible..." Deputy Dean Jia's face was filled with disbelief.
The others also discussed in surprise.
Because!
That Interstellar Frigate actually had no obvious damage at all!
Perhaps if the Starship were placed in front of them for close inspection, they might find traces of damaged paint, but at least on the live broadcast screen, it truly looked exactly the same as before the attack.
The T2 Black Rhino was still sailing towards the T2 Purple Rose-class Medium Interstellar Battlecruiser, and the distance between the two was constantly closing.
"How could there be no damage at all? Keep firing! Keep firing! Use armor-piercing shells!" Zhou Min was a little panicked at this moment.
After the second round of shelling.
Everyone held their breath, staring at the cloud of smoke.
A few seconds later, it was still that Starship.
It still appeared perfectly intact before everyone's eyes.
"Oh my god! What kind of hull armor is that? Taking two rounds of shelling from a T2 Purple Rose head-on, and it's completely unharmed!"
"This couldn't be a t3 level Interstellar Frigate, could it?"
"Is this really the Interstellar Frigate we learned about in our textbooks?"
All the students were incredulous.
At the same time, the students of North Star Academy's emotions were ignited, while the students of Heaven's Glory Academy were all dumbfounded.
"My goodness, this... this actually has no damage at all? Zhao Chen, what kind of Interstellar Frigate is this?!" Li Wei stared at Zhao Chen in shock.
Xue Xiaoxiao also cast a curious gaze.
"It's just a relatively sturdy Interstellar Frigate, that's all." Zhao Chen said casually.
Li Wei and Xue Xiaoxiao, however, rolled their eyes.
This is called 'relatively sturdy'?
"With this armor strength, even an Interstellar Battleship's main cannon would probably be able to withstand a few hits." Xue Xiaoxiao muttered softly beside him.
