Chapter 79: It’s Showtime I (2/2)
It was as if she was possessed. Upon having a closer look at what was going on in the screen, her eyes enlarged, wide like the saucers!
She went in utter silence for the next few seconds and had an inertia as she came back. The impact from the screen scorched her feet as she jumped up high and stormed to her seat, hurrying the boy, ”Wang Xiao’er! Quick! Get the channel over here!”
”Yes,” replied Wang Xiao’er.
The audience at the spectator’s area noticed it coming suddenly. All the screens were only projecting at one particular person.
The contestant from Mod Room No.5!
”Ah!” Xuelin and Cousin Xiu screeched together after realizing who it was. Cousin Xiu covering her little mouth in disbelief along with Xuelin who had her mouth widely open.
Mod Room No.5! That would be Ye Chong!
Before their astonishment settled down, the audience in the entire row of the spectators area jumped up hurrahing. Rui Su actually had switched all the screens in the school compound to the visual at Mod Room No.5!
And that was when few hundred thousands of spectators in the whole campus saw an unforgettable scene for their lives!
On the screen the man waved his hands like a magician. In full focus, his hands slid the parts under like a breeze on a spring. Well that description did not sound that applause-worthy, since all mod technicians had to master that trick!
It was not the trick. It was his hands! Ye Chong’s hands!
Ye Chong finally demonstrated the frightening speed of his hands, the first time in the public, right in front of hundreds of thousands of people. Sadly he was not aware of what an amazing achievement he had just accomplished. Revealing his only deadly capability to the entire world. If only he knew what actually happened, he would be jumping off the building.
To Ye Chong, revealing the arsenal of his abilities was no more than suicidal.
Ye Chong literally had no idea that his actions would be wholly broadcasted throughout the academy. Without the help of Yining, that was what he could only do. To make use of his abilities to the fullest! With great concentration! Being entirely engaged to the process, he did not see how fearsome his speed was.
His hands were so agile that they do not feel belonged to a human. The afterimages of his movements were faint yet still recognizable. Nobody questioned its authenticity.
The space, was soundless.
Everyone watched on and was barely hushing.
The sky of the quiet campus echoed with the excited voices of the commentaries, ”Holy Fal Galaxy! In what Blue Ocean world are those pair of hands! Such a scary speed on a mod technician, enough to terrify the students from the Piloting course hiding back into their cabins! With such a speed, what could still be impossible to our fine contestant? Oh? Hmm… Yes, yes.” The commentator lowered his voice as the sound of paper ruffling came.
He cleared his throat, ”We had just obtained the biography of this very contestant in our tournament today! Apparently, this phenomenal contestant in Room No.5 is none other than Ye Chong. He is only 20 years old. Oh, my, Fal, Galaxy! 20 years old! Our students would be a mere freshman being pampered everywhere if they were 20-year-olds! This is stunning! Staggering! Mind-opening! Evidently, he is not only a genius, but a genius among the geniuses! And… hmm… What! I can’t believe it! Ye Chong is not a student in our campus too! And there is zero record about his education background! So, I strongly believe that nobody would disagree on what I had just said!”
The commentator’s tone turned teasing, ”Hehehehe. I know our beloved principal had just gotten the biography in hand and must be all wet and panicking begging for the tournament to end right away only to meet with this boy! Principal, your eyes desired something, am I right? Haha!”
And the audience laughed along.
”What?” Another moment of paper ruffling the microphone, ”O.M.F.G.! Oh My Fal Galaxy! Did this just happen? The staff had passed me the hand-speed report of this Ye Chong boy a moment ago and guess what? According to the outcome shown, within the duration we talked just now, Ye Chong had achieved a groundbreaking speed of Mach 3.57 at the highest! Gosh! Did he modify his hands into an engine with artificial intelligence?”
And the audience exclaimed.
Mach 3.57!
The whispers scurried the spectator’s area, ”Is that even a speed by human?”
That last line from the commentary did tickle the funny-bone in everyone though.
Mach 3.57 was not fast enough to Ye Chong. It was not because he wanted to hide his strength, it was merely because he was yet to familiarize with the modification process that he had to slow down to minimize mistakes. It was justifiable considering how he had only spent a few days at Yining’s house. Nevertheless it was astounding enough for him to hit this speed.
That was not all.
The scene after this had launched a full barrel of fiasco at the crowd.
It’s showtime!
