Ye Chong blinked.

The two people fighting aggressively on the holographic screen, with very quick movements, were the two from that day! Ye Chong knitted his brows as he played the video repeatedly, trying to uncover every single detail of the fight, analyzing their attacks and defenses.

If it were up to Mu, he could do this faster and present a more complete and logical assessment. However, Ye Chong understood that the results from his own effort would be more valuable than Mu’s.

Shang had hacked the room’s surveillance system, and what Wei Xi saw through the surveillance video was only a short recording of Ye Chong’s image by Shang. The mech had put some effort into this cover, for he must ensure that the video remained largely unchanged, except for some minor details. For example, Ye Chong’s expression, the schematics on display and so on, were changed occasionally to make the effect more realistic.

Every time Wei Xi visited Ye Chong’s room, she did not discover what Ye Chong was really doing due to Ye Chong’s astoundingly sharp hearing. Wei Xi was not a combatant, and her footsteps could be heard from afar by Ye Chong. Every time Wei Xi came to Ye Chong’s room, Ye Chong would have been prepared with the schematics on his desk, and a thoughtful expression on his face.

For a full 13 days, Ye Chong did not step out of the room, and Wei Xi found that the schematics Ye Chong had been studying was changed three times.

Ye Chong’s battle skills were mainly of the basic superficial principles he learned at Black Cove, without any complete logical basis. The duo’s battle recording was dissected by Ye Chong into a thousand details, as Ye Chong tried to find some pattern in it. It was undeniable that both of them were very skilled, and Ye Chong believed that, in terms of skills, they were roughly on the same level as the average mech pilots from Black Cove.

However, any patterns in their battle could not be identified easily. Ye Chong could only mimic their movements for now, since he found their battle moves more powerful, more difficult to predict, or would increase his overall strength!

As for their easy defeat against two mentalist pilots, Ye Chong was quite surprised. To him, they were both on about the same level as Black Cove mech pilots in terms of battling skills, but they were still easily brought down. In terms of combat, no matter between humans or mechs, Black Cove was definitely far better than the Sanctuary. For two Black Cove level combatants to be defeated in a few moves by two mentalist pilots, the outcome was odd for Ye Chong.

Ye Chong brought his confusion to Shang.

Shang replied immediately, ”That’s quite normal, perfectly understandable given the circumstances. Ye, think about it, those two mentalists were ambushing, and the two idiots were still engaged in a fight. Tsk tsk, Ye, if the person before you is about the same level as you, and fighting you to the death, do you think you’ll have time to watch out for other enemies?”

Ye Chong shook his head.

”There you have it. Those two fellows were obviously roughly equal in strength. As they were deep in battle, someone attacked from behind their backs, and that’s absolutely normal! Besides, if you think about it, what’s the unique ability of mentalist pilots? Hmm, sigh, this, I’m actually not quite sure of this, but it should be some kind of clairvoyance ability, tsk tsk, Ye, that’s an ability that best complements an ambush. You saw what happened that day, that golden opportunity taken, tsk tsk, splendid indeed!” Shang spoke enthusiastically, his emotions high, but he then sobered up and said, ”If it’s one on one though, hehe, it’s hard to say who will win!”

”That makes sense!” Ye Chong carefully thought through Shang’s words and felt relieved.

Shang noticed that Ye Chong seemed eager to chat with him, and swiftly began on the one topic he’s most interested in, ”Ye, what do you think of Xi Xi’er?”

”Xi Xi’er? Who’s that?” Ye Chong did not recall knowing anyone called Xi Xi’er.

”Sigh, you’re such a dumb*ss, it’s the nickname of our most beloved Wei Xi!” Shang sounded intoxicated, and Ye Chong felt like he was getting goosebumps.

”Not good at all!” To completely reject Shang’s obsession, Ye Chong replied with firm determination.

”Not good at all? Sigh, I’ve forgotten that you’re a wild animal! Asking that question to you is like asking for directions from the blind. Our dear Ye’s favorite is that white-robed violent woman! Hehe, that passionate kiss, oh, wait, I should call it a lick, has let our little Ye experience true emotions for the first time, hehe, but that kick was too cruel …” Shang was laughing more and more lasciviously.

Ye Chong knew that if he were to argue with Shang right then, it would only excite the bored Shang even more, so he opted rationally for ignorance.
