Chapter 415: The Slowest mber!
Chapter 415: The Slowest mber!
Editor: H2dH2mr “Ah!” The spectating students suddenly cried out in surprise, because behind Qiao Ting, three more cha had appeared — Lingtian No.3, Lingtian No.6, and Lingtian No.7.
It was Wu Jiong, Xie Yi, and Lin Zhong-qing!
After receiving Ling Lan’s orders, they had gathered together and then raced desperately towards Qiao Ting’s coordinates to carry out the tactic they had agreed upon from the start.
They would use tactic number two, that is, the one they had nad the ‘Swarm Tactic’ to pull Qiao Ting off his high horse.
As they were rather far away from Qiao Ting’s location, even though they had engaged all the engines on their cha to fly at high speed, they were still the third batch to arrive.
At this ti, following the departure of Zhao Jun, Luo Lang, and Li Yingjie, the Lingtian battle team only had six people left on the field.
anwhile, in another direction, a cha was running speedily over the ground.
When he saw on his screen that all his remaining teammates on the field had already arrived at the spot Boss Lan had pointed out, he was very frustrated.
“F*ck, they’ve all arrived!
I’m actually the last one!” He was Lingtian No.2, Qi Long.
Originally, his position was actually even closer than Lin Zhong-qing’s group to Qiao Ting’s coordinates.
However, as a lover of close-combat, in order to increase the close-combat abilities of his cha, Qi Long had asked Chang Xinyuan to modify so local aspects of his cha, sacrificing a portion of the cha’s speed.
For this reason, he had ended up lagging behind to be the one and only mber yet to arrive.
“There’s still 3 kilotres from here to my destination.
Based on my cha’s speed, I should arrive there three minutes later.” Once again checking against the new coordinates Boss had sent, Qi Long found that he would soon arrive.
His tense expression eased and he wiped the sweat from his forehead, continuing to pilot his cha forwards.
However, he had not gone far when the A.I.
of his cha sounded a warning, alerting him of the presence of an unidentified flying object 3 kilotres away on his radar.
Looking towards that unidentified flying object, Qi Long could not stop himself from cursing his luck.
Apparently, that cha had been diagonally to the rear of his position.
If he had just been a tad bit faster, he might have crossed paths with the other without either of them being the wiser.
Qi Long’s gut feeling was that this was certain to be a Leiting cha.
When he zood in to check, it was just as he expected.
That cha had also noticed Qi Long, and just as if he had been pumped up with stimulants, the opponent accelerated to charge in Qi Long’s direction.
As things were, Qi Long could no longer avoid the other even if he had wanted to.
Qi Long could not help but swear silently, “F*ck, I’m just so bloody unlucky!” Qi Long was not afraid that he could not match the Leiting mber; he just really wanted to rush over to Qiao Ting’s area as soon as possible so his team could lay siege on Qiao Ting with as much firepower as possible, thus carrying out his boss’s second plan to the best of their abilities.
As such, he did not want to waste ti fighting with other Leiting mbers.
However, since he could not avoid it now, although Qi Long was rather disgruntled, he still drew his weapon and made proper preparations for battle.
Frankly, there was a reason why that opponent cha had beco so excited at the sight of Qi Long.
He had actually t Wu Jiong, Lin Zhong-qing, and Xie Yi’s three-man cha column first, but as clever as he was, he knew that he was absolutely no match for three opponents, so he had turned without hesitation to flee.
Honestly, when he had made that decision, he had not really believed that he would be able to escape the opponents’ group attack.
However, unexpectedly, the opponents acted like they had not noticed him, showing no signs of pursuing him to kill him.
Instead, they rely continued flying rapidly in the direction they had initially been headed towards.
Even as the Leiting cha rejoiced at his luck, he could not help but be a little curious, wondering what exactly those three Lingtian cha were up to.
Just as he was debating whether or not to follow them in secret, he actually discovered another cha coming from another direction.
This cha was also a Lingtian cha, and the direction it was heading in was the sa as the three cha before it.
He may not dare to confront three cha, but one cha alone, and just an advanced cha like his as well?
The Leiting mber believed that he was sure to win.
He thought to himself that he may perhaps be able to find the answer he sought from this loneso Lingtian cha.
Very soon, the two cha were facing each other.
Unlike the other, Qi Long did not have a beam gun in one hand and a beam saber in the other.
Instead, he only carried a giant sword made of steel.
Due to the weapon’s great size and weight, Qi Long’s cha seed incredibly clumsy and slow, and its speed naturally would be no match for the Leiting cha’s.
Qi Long did not mind the decreased speed of his cha.
A worshipper of Boss Lan, he had also learned to love fighting with steel-made giant cold weapons.
Thus, in the Lingtian Battle Clan, he was the only one who, like Ling Lan, chose to use cold weapons in battle.
And just like Ling Lan, he also wielded these cold weapons with great proficiency.
Seeing that the Lingtian participant was using a giant cold weapon which slowed his entire cha down significantly, the Leiting mber could not help but view the other with contempt.
Although giant cold weapons had greater destructive power than heat-based weapons, their heavy weight and massive size prevented cha from attacking at high speeds.
If both combatants were slow-moving close-combat cha, perhaps these weapons might have so astounding effect, but against speed-type cha, they were pretty much useless because they would be easily dodged by the opponent.
And this Leiting mber just so happened to be piloting a speed-type cha.
Speed being one of his primary strengths, a slow and clumsy close-combat cha would never be able to hit him.
This was why he looked down on Qi Long, but at the sa ti, he was delighted at bumping into a cha weak against his own.
The victory of this encounter was sure to be his.
Now more confident, the Leiting mber charged forwards with his beam saber and beam gun.
As soon as Qi Long entered the attack range of his beam gun, he pulled the trigger without any hesitation, sending a cascade of beam energy at the opponent.
Since the opponent lacked speed, these barrage of beam shots should be able to hit the other.
Once the other’s beam shield ran out of power, he would be able to clinch the victory of this fight even before the other could get close.
After a round of frenzied shooting, it was unclear whether the opponent was just too lucky or if his shooting had been off the mark, but the Leiting mber found to his great surprise that none of his long-range attacks had caused any damage to the opponent …
“F*ck, why are my hands so stiff today?” The Leiting mber was rather annoyed.
Still, he did not think much of it, rely figuring that his hands had not ward up yet and so had lost their normal accuracy.
He saw that his beam gun was not doing any good, plus the two of them were about to enter close-combat range anyway, so he put the beam gun back to its original place.
Then, he focused on driving his cha forwards at Qi Long with his beam saber in hand.
“Heh, perfect.” Qi Long was just growing frustrated at his cha’s lack of speed, worried that the opponent would keep up the long-range attacks and choose to keep his distance.
If that had happened, he would have been stuck in a stalemate with the other, and this match would beco a battle of endurance to see whose power would run out first.
And this was sothing that Qi Long absolutely did not want to see happen.
Qi Long was tangled up in worry inside, but when he found that the opponent was not doing as he had expected but rather taking the initiative to attack instead, he was overjoyed.
As soon as the opponent was within close-combat range, Qi Long believed that he would definitely be able to finish off the other within a matter of seconds.
The speed of the Leiting mber’s incoming beam saber was very fast — the light and quick sword allowed the opponent to stab out several tis in just one second.
The spectators could only see Lingtian’s cha being surrounded by the light of the beam saber in an instant …
No one believed that this clumsy Lingtian cha could completely evade so many beam saber attacks — everyone felt that he would at least be hit several tis.
Even the attacking Leiting mber believed so in his heart.
Whenever his beam saber struck the opponent, the power of the opponent’s beam shield would be drained, and as soon as the power of the opponent’s beam shield ran out, the very next second would the opponent’s last.
However, the subsequent scenario went beyond everyone’s expectations.
The weighty giant steel sword which everyone originally believed would slow the Lingtian cha down actually produced a streak of layered images within the span of a second.
And then, the violent sounds of collisions rang out …
These sounds made alarms ring in the Leiting mber’s mind.
They were not the sounds of a beam shield’s power being drained, but was the sound of sothing solid hitting another solid object.
He was just about to pull back to see what was going on when …
the giant blade which had been shrouded by afterimages suddenly disappeared from his sight completely!
An unprecedented sense of danger sparked in the Leiting mber’s mind.
Frightened, he piloted his cha to move back swiftly, but it was too late.
He only saw a cold light flash across his eyes, and imdiately after, he felt his cha being struck by a trendous force.
The trendous force threw his cha out of his control, and it began to fall backwards.
Besides that, the trendous blow had also created large vibrations which were so strong that his shock-dampening devices inside his cockpit were all ineffective.
He felt a sharp pain in his chest and a mouthful of blood shot out of his mouth …
Before he could recover from the pain, another forceful blow struck his cha again.
This ti, the blow struck his cockpit directly.
The horrifying blow dealt great damage to the already weakened cockpit whose defence was at its lowest point.
The operator inside felt as if a mountain had crashed on top of him; his vision turned black.
By the ti he was conscious again, he found that he was already back at the login point of the virtual world.
He quickly browsed through the notifications he had received from the mainfra and found that the mainfra had declared him dead and kicked him out of cha World around 10 seconds ago.
Now, he could only wait for the death penalty period to pass before he could apply for a new trainee cha and start anew.
“The opponent’s physique is absolutely at the level of a monster,” comnted the Leiting mber with a rueful smile.
Although it looked like they were each operating their respective cha to fight, in truth, the actions executed by the cha would be fed back to the operators themselves.
For the opponent to be able to pull off such terrifying attacks with that giant cold weapon and bear the feedback force generated by it, his physical constitution must definitely be extrely aberrant …
Having finished off his opponent, Qi Long happily slung the giant steel sword back on his cha’s back.
Then, without delay, he continued to use his damnable speed to rush as fast as he could to his destination.
From start to end, this fight had still wasted three minutes of his ti1.
If only he had not bumped into the other, he would have already arrived at his destination …
Even though Qi Long had obtained victory here, he was not very happy.
He was very afraid that by the ti he got there, the fighting would already be over.
Regardless of whether Qiao Ting had been finished off by his teammates or if his teammates had been wiped out by Qiao Ting instead, either outco would make him very unhappy.
T/C: Lol!
I had initially already typed ‘wasted only 3 minutes’ before reading closer to see that the author said ‘still’.
It’s clear to see how impatient Qi Long is at this mont.
:p
