Tempest of the Stellar War - Chapter 362
Chapter 362: The Unknown
Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas
Was it a trap?
No!
It was simply contempt!
If one wanted to thoroughly disregard the competition, shouldn’t there be a proper place and time? Did he really think that he was a tyrant king who could make the opponent submit once he stood in front of him?
“This is not Earth. If you want to show off, go back there!”
Jiang Chen was absolutely enraged. Disregarding the fact that he was using an obsolete mech such as the Bata fighter against an opponent who had already activated his Ability X, he was still refusing to start up his mech, with the engines still remaining silent.
This was especially because he had chosen the Hurricane Razor, which allowed him to fully display his strength. Carefully, he activated his Ability X and moved forward.
What type of person did everyone hate the most?
Of course, the type of person who remained aloof and careless when you tried your best and put in a hundred percent of your strength, as if you were less than a fly!
Before, Lear was just standing there, not even saying a single word. Needless to say, anyone who saw that sight would not be pleased, except they couldn’t imagine that once the match started, the ridicule would get even worse.
Roar!
Jiang Chen’s eyes were blazing with anger. Under his will, his Ability X increased in intensity, causing the surrounding air to spin even faster.
“Ah, that guy totally deserves it. Jiang Chen has fully activated his ability, and compared to his practice runs, it is even faster by 1.3 seconds.”
Among the Hurricane team, the person in charge of information statistics smiled. There was a light screen in front of his body, with the numbers gliding down from above like flowing water. The first string of numbers had special significance. This was a specialty of the Hurricane planet. Behind the hurricane=like lethality of their combat style were perfect analysis systems, which not only included the analysis of their opponents, but more importantly, the analysis of their own team.
The idea was to manage what they were able to control to the best of their abilities, and then exceed that in order to become invincible!
They did indeed possess this confidence.
“The Hurricane Razor is almost tailor-made for Jiang Chen. Once his Ability X is launched, there will only be one result for the opponent.”
Li Donyang coldly smiled, extremely satisfied with Jiang Chen’s performance so far. It was simply unthinkable that Lear had not even started up the engine of his mech. Well, even a tiger would use its full strength to hunt a rabbit. Jiang Chen was absolutely serious this time and was giving it his all. Additionally, he was at the boundary of a breakthrough, and his current state was unmatched. Heh, even if Lear wasn’t acting tough, against Jiang Chen at his best, there was no hope of victory.
Looking at the stage…
Huang Shi’s eyes went wide and he said to himself, “This Lear is still acting? He still hasn’t started his engine? The distance is getting shorter! Additionally, this Jiang Chen’s ability… it’s not wind, it’s the air itself! He is able to control the flow of air. This is an extremely powerful Ability X that is able to increase his own speed, reduce the enemy’s vision and movement, or even interfere with their vision.” Hey, hey, this situation simply felt like Lear had given up. The mech hadn’t even started up, essentially allowing the opponent to kill him at will.
The distance between the two mecha gradually became smaller, and then Jiang Chen suddenly accelerated.
50 meters… 30 meters… Boom!
At this moment, a number of dragons could be seen with the naked eye. Although the air itself was not visible, the grains of sands that had been sucked up clearly were.
Under normal circumstances, if the attack was visible, it could be defended against. However, Jiang Chen’s ability obviously had no such loopholes. The dust and tornadoes that were stirred up were obviously visual obstacles that were intended to attract the attention of the enemy. The real killer blow was to hide within the invisibility, utilizing the assassin type nature of the Hurricane Razor mech. Within this abnormal air flow, it shot forward like an arrow, violently heading towards Lear!
The Bata Type V still remained motionless as ever.
At the Solar System team’s preparation area, Wang Zheng, Achilles, and the others were all sitting calmly on the sidelines. Zhang Shan started getting anxious. “Damn, isn’t Lear acting out too much? Fatty, what’s your boss up to?”
Luo Fei secretly smiled. “You want to know?”
“Just say it straight, unless even you don’t know the answer.” Zhang Shan had simply gotten familiar with Luo Fei’s personality. However, even if Lear was looking down on the competition, intentionally throwing the match was absolutely impossible. Lear would never allow himself to be humiliated, especially when he was attempting to embarrass the opponent. Under these circumstances, the Bata had still not been activated. Zhang Shang was rather familiar with the mech itself, and he knew that it had a relatively slow startup speed, while the opponent was using a high speed assassin mech. Lear was simply playing with fire.
“Heh, with such an attitude, I’m not going to tell you.”
Luo Fei blinked his eyes innocently, seemingly unworried about the match.
The distance between the two mecha, 10 meters!
“It’s about to reach the range limit! Five meters. As long as he is able to close the gap of five meters, the Hurricane Razor will be able to strike a killing blow! This entire battlefield is under the control of the Hurricane Razor, yet Lear is still not moving? If he has a plan to show off, shouldn’t he begin it now?”
In the Hurricane team’s preparation area, the data analysis and collection personnel smiled. Although others had thought that five meters was the maximum range of the Hurricane Razor, Jiang Chen’s Ability X of air manipulation could deliver a killing blow, or at the very least seriously wound the opponent even at ten meters.
Just as Li Dongyang was about to nod, he was interrupted by the quiet noise of an engine starting up from within the battlefield.
“It’s started up…”
The information-gathering staff of the Hurricane planet were able to capture this little detail.
However, what was the use of that? It was already too late…
Jiang Chen’s Hurricane Razor was already in position!
His Ability X of air manipulation had been activated, the killing blow was initiated, and the relentless wind had begun lashing out at the Bata.
Jiang Chen’s blood was boiling as he surged forward! He was at the limit of his concentration, showcasing all of his skills, and without a single shred of carelessness.
Now was the time for payback. Go to hell, Earthling! Do you still think that Earth has any status within the Milky Way Alliance?
Boom!!! The Hurricane Razor let out a roar, and Jiang Chen revealed his strongest claws.
And…
And… Lear finally acted???
At this moment.
Jiang Chen’s mech let out a horrifying sound.
As if it had tripped over a rock, the Hurricane Razor stumbled at the peak of its momentum, its body landing right in front of Bata’s feet.
… not moving a single inch.
From the start till the end, the Bata Type V had not moved at all, and the engine had simply activated for a short moment.
However, other than merely starting the engine, there were no other movements. How could it have affected Jian Chen, who had reached the peak of his performance so far?
Wooong… Wooong…
Suddenly, the shrill buzzing siren sounded from the cockpit of the Hurricane Razor!
“This…”
The emergency alert of the pilot’s life support system had activated!
Lear WIN!
The final result popped up on the screen.
The audience was absolutely silent. It was clear that Lear was using some sort of Ability X, but what kind of power was it? And why was it completely undetectable?
While everyone was surprised by the result, Lear casually walked out from within the mech as if he had not been through the previous battle. At this time, Luo Fei ran up to him and passed him a bottle of mineral water. Lear calmly twisted the cap and drank a small mouthful, completely at ease with his performance.
After Lear finished the water, Luo Fei hurriedly collected the bottle. At this moment, Lear turned his head over to the Hurricane team and swept his gaze across them…. His natural arrogance had once again surfaced.
Only this time, everyone was silent.
This was Lear from the Solar System team.
Luo Fei quickly motioned Lear to have a seat. It was simply difficult to imagine that this Luo Fei was not only an official IG participant, he was also able to achieve a victory. Didn’t he have any pride? Why was he fawning up to another team member?
The prideful Hurricane team had suddenly been driven to desperation. With the score two to zero, would they ultimately dance to the tune of the Solar System team?
