Chapter 754: Chapter 754: New ch, New Combat Style
Li Yao knew very well that this so-called test was not what it seed.
In reality, it was a provocation, or rather, a proof by the company and the military to challenge the professors who disagreed with their opinions.
By taking on Li Yao in combat, they aid to prove the professors’ wrong. Despite their small number, these professors represent vast amounts of energy and resources, which in effect turn the conflicts into struggles over the power to control the lab. The result of Li Yao’s fight will be crucial.
Elder Wei must’ve known this, but he had not told Li Yao about it.
Li Yao admired Elder Wei for spending several hours discussing the modifications on the new ch. Therefore, although Li Yao seed casual, he was determined to give these people a good ga.
Seeing ten individuals fiercely competing to be the first one in the arena, Li Yao smirked.
...
“Alright, it seems like you all have great confidence in yourselves,” the Lieutenant General looked at a tall man and said, “Suo Tugang, you will be the first to experience Li Yao’s prowess.”
Many others were discontent because Suo Tugang was from the military and was rumored to be a soldier from the ace special forces.
“I will not let the General down.” Suo Tugang saluted with a loud and firm voice.
The others left the arena and took seats in the grandstand.
“This isn’t satisfying; why don’t we compete outside? We do not have to worry about causing damage,” So Tugang suggested.
Although Mars has been colonized, the terraforming project was not yet complete. Moreover, the lab was not within the area of the terraforming project. The area outside the lab was barren, just like a loess plateau.
“That suits just fine,” Li Yao nodded nonchalantly. Although the arena was protected by a shield, it was too small, making it difficult for the chas to maneuver.
A tunnel opened above them. Driven by his thoughts, Li Yao was covered by the Hunter ch, shifting into battle mode.
The two n exchanged a glance and, inside their chas, soared into the sky, out of the base, and onto the desolate land.
“Kid, you have as your first opponent – that’s bad luck for you. Don’t think I’m going to go easy on you,” Suo Tugang said while producing a steel shield on one arm and a ga-like large sword on the other.
Li Yao pulled a Scatter Bow from his waist, its properties resembling the bow he found in the ga.
In the ga, this bow held a massive attack power, draining the health points. However, in reality…
The bow stored a massive force but consud too much energy from the cha, causing Li Yao’s defense power to be halved. It was equivalent to losing health points.
“I can’t believe they can simulate the equipnt attributes of the new cha; the professors have made quick progress,” Li Yao marveled. He recalled when he first saw a report about this in a previous world. It was only a year after the research on the new cha that such functions were put into use.
Seeing that Li Yao was not responding, Suo Tugang barked, “Are you ready or not? Don’t just stand there and get blasted away.”
Li Yao snapped out of his thoughts, lifted his head, and responded, “In a one-on-one bout, without a ch, you could take on a hundred of . But with a cha, you do not have the right to speak so.”
“Well, here I co,” growled Situ Gang as he charged towards Li Yao like an arrow.
“Not bad, you have managed to simulate the Marked Charge,” comnted Li Yao as he flew back. Having the ability to use an ability like this was beyond Li Yao’s imagination.
“I have more abilities than that. Watch out,” Suo Tugang declared as he continued to charge.
The distance between the two quickly closed. If Li Yao couldn’t co up with another plan, he would be hit and beco passive once a lee ch got close to him.
Li Yao’s hand flashed, and a ball of silver light disappeared between them. Then Li Yao abruptly stopped moving and began to prepare his bow and arrow.
“?”
Suo Tugang wondered why Li Yao had stopped. It was akin to surrendering. But he didn’t hesitate and still charged towards Li Yao. No matter what, he aid to crush his opponent first.
*Slap…*
Just as Suo Tugang was about 20 ters from Li Yao, he felt like he had hit sothing. His entire ch was instantly frozen like a giant block of ice.
“Simulated ice trap…” Seeing the situation on the screen, everyone in the grandstand, save for Elder Wei, had a grim expression. Among the ten of them, not everyone had mastered the in-ga skills.
Suo Tugang had already mastered a few and confidently thought he had the situation under control. To his surprise, the guy who never trained with them and hadn’t operated a cha for many days had also mastered a skill.
A flash of light on Li Yao’s back, and he suddenly moved three ters to the side, releasing the bowstring.
*Boom…*
Although frozen, Suo Tugang’s cha still whizzed past Li Yao due to the massive inertia.
However, being frozen, he couldn’t move, adjust direction, or swing his weapon. He couldn’t touch even a hair on Li Yao’s head.
As they passed by each other, Li Yao launched an attack. Five glowing arrows pierced Suo Tugang’s back simultaneously.
While he was being attacked, all the frost on him shattered, and Suo Tugang finally broke free. However, the problem was that he was first frozen and lost control, then shot.
By the ti he finally regained control of the cha, it was too late- Li Yao was behind a mound of earth.
Suo Tugang’s Shield Warrior cha forcibly crashed into the mound, forming a large human-shaped hole. The impact of the arrows and the collision with the mound depleted his cha’s shield by 50%.
*Boom…*
“Damn it, you won’t be so lucky next ti,” Suo Tugang roared as he freed his cha from the mound.
Furious, Suo Tugang flew out, looking for his target to launch his next skill onto Li Yao, but found nothing. Li Yao had disappeared from his sight.
People in the grandstand who saw the situation on the screen were almost cursing. They thought to themselves, ‘WTF? What’re you yelling at, you special soldier? Look, he’s right behind you at an angle just above your head.’
It was not Suo Tugang who was slow to react, but Li Yao was too swift. The mont Li Yao let go of the bowstring, he was tracing Suo Tugang’s movents like a shadow, his flight speed not slow in the least.
By the ti Suo Tugang crashed into the mound, Li Yao had already flown up and was located right above the hole left by Suo Tugang’s crash.
Thinking that Li Yao would definitely seize this chance to follow up with an attack and knowing that by using Scatter Bow, Li Yao’s attack range must be very close, Suo Tugang decided to activate his abilities right away after erging from the hole. His plan was to invoke Whirlwind Slash and directly defeat Li Yao.
However, the mont he erged from the hole and before he could activate his next ability, he felt a pressure from above his head and then plunged towards the earth like a cannonball…
