Chapter 407: Lingtian No.7!
Chapter 407: Lingtian No.7!
Editor: H2dH2mr Having obtained the coordinates from Little Four, the Lingtian mbers changed their initial cautiousness and all began to move.
This made those cadets who had chosen Defender view and God view to cry out in surprise.
“Unexpectedly, the Lingtian cha Clan has actually started to move.” The first-years who had just entered the school and the second-years were all exhilarated at this developnt.
Compared to the Leiting cha Clan, the first and second years liked the New Cadet Regint turned Lingtian cha Clan better.
The deeds of the New Cadet Regint motivated these juniors to a large degree.
So juniors too could fight back when they were oppressed and even obtain success.
In contrast to those joyful first and second years who were unable to control their emotions, the third-, fourth-, and fifth-year senior cadets were silently shaking their heads.
They all felt that the mbers of Lingtian were still a little too inexperienced, actually acting blindly before figuring out the true situation.
Those cadets who had chosen God view were well aware that there were one or two Leiting mbers around the locations of the Lingtian mbers.
If the Lingtian mbers accidentally entered the range of Leiting, they might really be taken by surprise and be attacked by the opponent.
This scenario was extrely disadvantageous to the Lingtian people.
However, the performance of the Lingtian mbers after that left the senior cadets flabbergasted, because they found that the two or three cha closest to one another were actually sprinting in unplanned unison towards the sa spot.
Of course, those who could notice this were all those who had chosen God view.
Using their bird’s eye view to analyse the situation, they knew that as long as these Lingtian mbers did not change course, they were sure to bump into each other eventually …
Of course, as there were Leiting cha around their eting point as well, Lingtian might already encounter these opponent cha even before they t up with their teammates.
After all, no one could be certain whether the Leiting people would unintentionally move to the spot they were converging towards.
“D*mn, is Lingtian cheating?” Those who witnessed this scene all exclaid.
They could not comprehend the situation — if they weren’t cheating, how could the Lingtian cha Clan head in the sa direction so accurately, two to three of them simultaneously at that?
Those cadets quickly submitted their suspicions to the mainfra, and the mainfra rapidly returned with a response.
It turned out that the Lingtian battle team possessed a powerful piece of equipnt which could pinpoint the coordinates of their own mbers and display it to all the mbers.
This was why the Lingtian cha battle team could respond so swiftly and move unerringly in the sa direction.
Of course, this was the answer Little Four had supplied to the mainfra.
After all, this was an open fight — so things needed to be given a proper explanation.
Fortunately, Chang Xinyuan had already modified Ling Lan’s cha in advance, so Little Four used his own simulation thods to add this legendary heaven-defying equipnt of cha World to this modified cha.
It was a mber-locator that only powerful clans of star-rank1 and above could equip.
“F*ck, the Lingtian cha Clan has prepared really well for this showdown!” Many old players of cha World had heard rumours of this equipnt before, a legendary clan equipnt that only super strong clans of star-rank and above had the right to equip.
Rumour had it that it was extrely difficult to get one — not only were the tasks that needed to be done extrely complicated, it was impossible to complete this mission without a certain level of strength.
Who would have expected the newly established Lingtian cha Clan to be so lucky?
Actually possessing such a nature-defying treasure.
The senior cadets did not believe that Lingtian was capable of earning this equipnt from a direct mission.
It was far more likely for them to have obtained it by sheer overwhelming luck during a reward lottery draw for so random mission.
After completing a cha World mission, the thods of choosing a reward were all kinds of strange — it was not unheard of for so super lucky people to receive legendary equipnt or weapons.
Thus, the cadets did not suspect anything, only envious of Lingtian’s trendously great luck.
It looked like this match would not be the one-sided fight they imagined!
Right then, all the spectators changed their original opinion in silent unison.
This shift in attitude stirred up the excitent of the senior cadets who had initially been forced into coming to spectate despite their lack of interest.
They liked watching suspenseful fights, and not those kinds of boring fights where the outco was already known before the fight even began.
Soon, the silence of the venue was broken by so of the spectating students.
They actually could not help but cry out — it turned out that, on the way to its destination, the number seven cha of the Lingtian battle team had very unfortunately stumbled upon the number nine Leiting cha.
However, as the distance between the two cha was more than 3 kilotres (the maximum range of an advanced cha’s radar was 3 kilotres), they were both oblivious to the presence of the other.
Still, the spectators quickly found out under the mainfra’s hinting that it would only take a few seconds for the two to get within 3 kilotres of each other.
At that ti, they would inevitably discover each other’s presence.
‘It looks like the exciting first match is about to co.’ Those who had selected God view clenched their fists in excitent, thinking to themselves.
Sure enough, several seconds later, almost simultaneously, both cha received warning alerts from their respective cha’s radars that an unidentified cha had appeared around 3 kilotres from where they were.
Both operators chose to zoom in on the captured image of the other cha, and when they saw that the other cha was emitting the light sheen marking a different faction, they knew for certain that the other cha was an enemy.
Lingtian No.7 did not decrease his speed — still travelling at high speed, he controlled the hands of his cha to pull a quick draw from behind the cha’s shoulders.
Then, with a beam gun in his left hand and a beam saber in his right, he was prepared for battle.
Likewise, on the other end, Leiting cha No.9 had also discovered the enemy and was making battle preparations of his own.
Other than one standing still in place while the other was moving at high speed, both cha’s battle prep actions did not differ by much.
“Who’d have expected that the Lingtian cha Clan mbers could also react so quickly …” From the ti they each registered the presence of an unidentified cha, to the ti they confird whether the other was friend or foe, both combatants’ reaction ti was almost the sa.
This drew shocked exclamations from the spectating cadets once more — it was very unexpected that these relatively green Lingtian mbers were performing much better than they had imagined.
******** In one of the VIP rooms of the military academy, Tang Yu saw this scene and the light in his eyes brightened.
He could not stop himself from turning on the communicator on his wrist to begin searching for the information on this Lingtian cha Clan number seven mber.
The students might mistakenly believe that the reaction tis of the two were roughly the sa, but as an instructor, Tang Yu could see things much clearer.
The Lingtian mber was able to execute the sa battle prep as the Leiting mber who had been standing still while moving at high speed, and his actions were clean and efficient, with no sign at all of any delay and stiffness.
Undoubtedly, the control skills of the Lingtian No.7 was definitely a bracket higher than that cha operator of Leiting’s.
For a junior student to carry off this series of movents much more perfectly and swiftly than a senior, the cha operation talent of this Lingtian No.7 was most certain to be at the level of a prodigy.
Tang Yu could not help but be interested at the prospect of a promising student.
“Lingtian No.7; Na: Lin Zhong-qing.
Status: Free Commoner.
Age: 17.
Physical skills: Advanced level Refinent stage1.
cha Piloting Level: Advanced; Interdiate to Advanced advancent results, excellent!” Frankly, there was not a lot of info that could be obtained using this type of simple search — for truly detailed information, one would need to receive clearance to browse the restricted files of the military academy.
However, this simple information was already enough for Tang Yu.
He could barely restrain his excitent as he comnted, “It is really unexpected that, other than those five in the Lingtian cha Clan, there is still such an excellent mber.” Able to level up to advanced-class operator at age 17 and have his advancent results judged as ‘excellent’ by the cha World mainfra, this ant that the other’s basic controls must be extrely solid.
This would definitely be a great advantage to his future developnt.
What surprised him the most was the other’s status as free commoner.
The average commoner’s cha piloting talent would not be that good — it looked like this was probably so form of genetic mutation.
This reminded Tang Yu of himself.
Even though he was not a commoner but a citizen, which was a rank higher than commoner1, his success at becoming an elite ace could also be ascribed to genetic mutation.
He had the sudden impulse to take Lin Zhong-qing as a student as well — he wanted to see if Lin Zhong-qing could beco an ace operator like he had, perhaps even surpass him.
“You are willing to give up one of the other five?” asked the principal.
At his words, Tang Yu smiled wryly and sighed.
Although he really wanted to, he could not give up any of those five he had chosen from the start.
Those five children who were about to beco his students were all very gifted in cha piloting, not at all weaker than this Lin Zhong-qing and perhaps even better.
“There are just too many prodigies with cha piloting talent in this year.
I wonder which cha ntor he will choose?” Tang Yu felt that such an excellent prodigy must be from the cha Piloting specialization.
Furthermore, only those from the cha Piloting specialization could choose a cha ntor at the start of their second year.
The other specializations had to wait till the second sester of the academic year to begin their cha study, and then, it would only be an elective for them.
Thus, cha ntors did not pay much attention to these students.
Curious, Tang Yu typed in the query to search for Lin Zhong-qing’s cha ntor on his communicator, but he received an unexpected response — unable to find any relevant answers.
This shocked him, because he knew that all of the ntors for the students of the cha Piloting specialization had already been confird.
He had originally wanted to find out who was the ntor of Lin Zhong-qing so he could advise that instructor to properly cultivate Lin Zhong-qing.
After all, even he was tempted to teach this kind of prodigy; he would not want to see such a gifted child be ruined from a ntor’s neglect.
“How can this be?” Tang Yu could not help doubting this answer.
The principal suddenly thought of sothing and prompted Tang Yu, “Try checking what specialization the other is in.” The principal’s suggestion made Tang Yu pause in mute shock for a mont, but he soon began to search for Lin Zhong-qing’s specialization.
The answer was revealed very quickly, and this answer left Tang Yu instantly dumbfounded as he stared blankly in disbelief at the words —— cha Logistics!
This specialization which everyone thought only rubbish students would take up was an absolutely rubbish specialization on the outermost fringes of the First n’s Military Academy1.
The principal saw Tang Yu’s stunned reaction and was instantly curious as well.
He took a peek and was instantly dumbfounded as well.
Such a talented genius in cha piloting was actually a student specializing in cha Logistics …
this could not be true, right?!
This made even the generally composed principal feel unsettled.
“I think, our First n’s Military Academy’s thod of assigning specializations is very flawed.
Principal, you should really think of a good way to solve this issue,” said Tang Yu, looking up with a grim expression.
Mind you, the application requirents for the cha Logistics specialization in terms of results and physical fitness had always been very low.
Perhaps, this Lin Zhong-qing had been assigned to cha Logistics by the mainfra due to a problem with his results (because cha Logistics was really too horrible an option, almost no one would select it by choice, so the academy mainfra had no choice but to forcefully assign it to students based on results).
Furthermore, the cha Logistics specialization had very low requirents on cha control skills as well; students need only pass.
All of the cha instructors were completely perfunctory in their teaching when it ca to the cha Logistics students.
It could be predicted that, if Lin Zhong-qing continued to remain in cha Logistics, his cha piloting talent would definitely go to waste, and this was sothing he could not allow.
The principal nodded in agreent.
He too was deeply grieved that such a prodigy of cha piloting had been shunted into cha Logistics by mistake.
“When this match ends, let’s look for him and ask him about this.
If he agrees, we can make an exception for him to transfer into the cha Piloting specialization …” Since the administrators had collectively pleaded with him to make an exception previously to use his authority as principal to set this cha fight as an open fight, then those people should have no reason to object if he used his power now to let one student transfer to a specialization better suited for him.
“If possible, I would like you, sir, to allow another exception.
I want an additional student slot.” Tang Yu was very satisfied with the principal’s decision, and at this ti, he also put forward this request earnestly.
The principal smiled wryly.
“Even you cannot bear to see such talent go to waste and are willing to break convention, how can I refuse your request?” With the principal’s promise, Tang Yu could finally put aside his worries to focus his full attention on the incipient battle between Lingtian No.7 and Leiting No.9.
I’m unsure whether a number is missing from the raws here.
4-star, 5-star, 6-star?
As it is, I can only translate it like this.
Who knows?
Star-rank could be a legit thing, above cot-rank and asteroid-rank.
:pOh geez, it’s been so long since these physical skills stages have been brought up.
Quick recap from chapter 137: “The developnt of physical skills was expressed by six major stages — Foundational, Manifestation, Refinent, Qi-Expression, Domain, and God-Realm.” For more info, please go reread that chapter.The words the author uses actually both just an ‘common/public citizen’, so it’s so damn hard to differentiate.
Kind of like that whole ‘cha warrior/cha master’ debacle previously.
Grrrr.
In any case, please note that the terms ‘commoner’ and ‘citizen’ are not interchangeable in this novel.
(I really hope I have not used them that way in previous chapters.
/>.< Please let know if any of you re-readers catch anything.
Much obliged.
:3)T/C: That’s so strange ntality for the so-called best military school in the nation.
Logistics are actually really, really, really important in war.
