Chapter 191: Miracle? Masterstroke!
Tan Lingyun burst forward in a speedy dash the an Her Anticipative Advance was near flawless Her speed and control n-ranked pilot – but the difference between her and Xiao Han was expansive
Xiao Han was only just crossing the Sovereign threshold He was learning the basic techniques, largely froyun, on the other hand, was old school What’s more, she was the most capable pilot in the NEU – at least, as far as they knew Her Sovereign experience was extensive, comparatively Even in the whole of the Eastern Alliance, she was a nanized
But her opponent was not so easily cowed As Tan Lingyun raced forward, Su He’s reaction was unexpected Instead of dodging or racing away, he chose not to make an escape There was no attempt to keep their distance fixed, nor did he heft and aim his weapon
Instead, he urged his e Goddess
What was he planning? Countless confused stares followed the yellow mecha, unsure of the tactics at play
The two yun sat in the dark simulator, the full intensity of her focus on the screen before her Like the others, she wasn’t sure what Su He was doing by charging her But her indoer than the metal her suit was made of She refused to be intimidated
The green mecha’s ars spread wide Itsspikes protruded from the palms
They were clearly close-ranged ie Goddess coaxed her suit faster The thrusters keeping her aloft changed fro white Less than one hundred hters She tore ahead like a green hurricane
Su He’s yellow suit stopped just then, hovering in the air It seemed somehow, fuzzy
Crash!+ The crunch of i from the screens
Su He reyun’s forwardanother hundred meters away
Onlookers noticed, then, the weapon the yellow mecha bore They had appeared at sos stretched from hand to shoulder, wrapped around his arinated from the suit’s elbow
Close coiant canon on his back, but appeared to have chosen to engage Tan Lingyun in close
Professor Tan had, by this ti her suit around her another pass As she did, the audience could clearly see two deep gashes along her shoulders
She was already day shi+eld, she’d likely have been cut in half At first, this looked like a siht, but this was a shock to everyone
Most onlookers couldn’t clearly discern what happened when he two yun’s ed
Su He’s yellow ain But it was in no rush – no charge or tricky advance It lookedOnce it dreithin about a hundred litch, or maybe some malfunction of the suit, but as the audience watched the screens they saw a ghost ihter appear – for just a split second
What the hell was that? Everyone was at a loss It was a norhest level
“Ghosting?” wang Hongyuan gasped in alarm He twisted his neck to talk to Lan Jue, but found the seat beside him empty Lan Jue apparently hadn’t yet returned from his ‘bathroom break’
wang Hongyuan turned his eyes back to the screen, his heart fluttering Of course he kneas ghosting It was the result of intense speed, where a pilot’s thrusters were engaged and shut off so quickly the mecha appeared in two places at once for just a moment It was a God-ranked pilot ability
DreamNet simulations were calibrated for safety That meant that abilities and attacks were only employed to where the pilot could stand it If they couldn’t, the si the ability was somewhat easier due to the calibrations, but even then it ell beyond the ken of a noryuan wasn’t capable of the feat hih
Ghosting also had different ‘levels’ At the highest levels it was said the after-ier An attacker couldn’t distinguish the real one from the copy The very best pilots were reputed to do just that, with distances up to ten host
Su He wasn’t at that level, and the ies he cast lasted so briefly it was hard to notice Still, it was there, and nearly half his torso long That was an accomplishment most pilots could never achieve
The tactical benefit of the et, direction and more were made infinitely more difficult Even radar couldn’t pick it up It was traditionally used versus snipers, but this ti it
Tan Lingyun watched from the simulator, her mind blank
The crowds couldn’t see clearly, even with their eagle-eye viehat had happened But Tan Lingyun, she should’ve Should’ve, being the operative term
Thetowards Su He, spikes bared like aniht she’d landed the blow, but before her eyes she saw the spikes go through hihtly out of harm’s way In that same instant he had mauled her
