Chapter 187: Brewing Storm III
Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation
A piece of shield of a mech zoomed towards both of them. It was rapid, it was stunning. Although the shield piece would be considered small for a mech, it had a diameter about 2 meters and it was wholly made out of alloy, which one could imagine its weight! One could tell the forcefulness in its motion by that piercing sound it made when slicing through the air. The piece could easily harm anyone in contact, be it a cut or a touch.
Judging by its direction, obviously it was aiming directly at the two men who just entered the accommodation!
Hua Shangmei was not known as a martial art expert with nothing, he reacted in extreme speed as he subconsciously exerted force on both his waist and feet, launching himself to the other side of the room, with the shield piece sliding through! The powerful air flow scratched his face. Holding the pain, he was not able to celebrate that close shave he dodged as his heart crashed down to the ground while he was in the air. ”Damn!” His face was drained!
I’m done. That was the remaining thought in his head. Although he only took a glance, he estimated the weight of the piece quickly. An object with such mass traveling at such horrifying speed, its force was not something controllable with man force. If one ever got smashed by the shield, man, that would be like a pounder on a splat of meat. Hua Shangmei’s face turned paler in a whole new degree the moment he imagined how he could possibly be smashed with limbs jumping all around.
An expert like him too suffered a close shave, that janitor new apprentice from September dojo was probably going to survive at a chance less than zero.
The sound of the piece crashing roared throughout the ground. Veil of dust cloaked the entire place.
Hua Shangmei twitched as he feared the orientation becoming a goner in his hands… Now how was he going to explain this to September dojo?
He was still able to demonstrate his dexterity under such a drastic fall. If there were commentators, they were so going to compliment out loud. Hua Shangmei did not care if he was going to be rated 10 upon 10 for his spin, he landed with tip on the ground and twisted his body, setting off a gaze at Ye Chong.
The apprentice of September dojo with his name Mo Fei was intact! And the piece was struck into the ground nearby!
Hua Shangmei was relieved, his face regained vitality, although it was still paler than his usual look. At least it was not dead pale like the moment the crash happened. Doubts filled his head when he saw Mo Fei being alive, he was skeptical, ”No way.” He couldn't believe his eyes. No way he would have made an inaccuracy in that quick calculation of his. That piece should have hit where Mo Fei was judging by the trail it travelled.
But, but… why did it change?
Don’t tell me… it was him? He looked at Mo Fei escaping the mortal fate. The disbelief intensified. Did he do something to the armor? No! No. Impossible! The thought was declined straight away. Even if the strongest apprentice, the 3rd member of their brotherhood, the hot-tempered man could never shift the armor piece away without getting hurt!
Well, then what happened?
He wanted to confirm his speculation but that frightened face of Mo Fei reminded him how ridiculous his speculation was.
Technically, no one saw Ye Chong moving between the frames. He tipped the ground and dodged to the side a few degrees away. That blink Ye Chong made was so fast that it was indistinguishable, literally a column of afterimages! Ye Chong shifted to the outer layer of the shield, with his arms crossed and exercised his strength which pushed the shield tilting away from its former direction. He took that split second to return to the previous position of his and acted frightened. Well, it was all thanks to the techniques of execution of strength he learned from Lan Yixing or he would not be able to do it in such leisure even if he managed to push the shield away.
The frightened act though, was an addition out of a reminder from Shang. Ye Chong was not sure if his act was convincing to the only audience in the room though… Well, no time to care, he was more worried if that the crash would attract the Black Covers.
Hua Shangmei was not able to figure things out as everyone in the accommodation came flooding the place before he realized.
”You two donkeys!” He heard the third apprentice shouting on top of his lungs, ”I did forbid both of you to do mech combating here! And both of you are here, training in the dark huh! Think we wouldn’t know? Now see what both of you have done! If anything goes wrong, you are so going to get sliced and diced by master!”
Oh, so there were two kiddos having combats on mech here? Really? Hua Shangmei, despite his good-natured personality, also had that desire to smack the two kiddos in the heads since their immature act almost costed his life!
Hua Tiankai, the owner of Tianhua dojo had showed up and he was all solemn and calm as Ye Chong saw him. Despite that, he seemed to be shocked by the crash too. If people would die in his dojo, one could imagine the impact to the image of the dojo. Well the two donkeys were imaginably skewed somewhere soon.
Hua Tiankai could be mad but he did not forsake his courtesy, as he folded his hands, expressing his apology, ”It was my lack of discipline in educating my men that caused you such fear.”
”It’s okay,” flatly Ye Chong replied. Mo Few seemed to have recovered quite well from the impact before, which was impressive to Hua Shangmei.
Ye Chong passed Lan Yixing the microchip. ”Now if you would excuse me…” He excused himself and headed back to his room to check out the content of the chip.
”Where’s…” Hua Shangmei saw everyone at the scene, except for Rui Bing, ”Where’s Sister Bing? Have anyone seen her? How could she not come out even when a crash happen?”
”Sister Bing went out. She is not here,” explained Zhen Zhongxing.
Sister Bing…
Never would Ye Chong imagine that that Sister Bing mentioned by these men was that lass in white garb.
It was not long before Hua Tiankai came out of his room. ”Thank you so much.” After making sure that his mission had been accomplished, Ye Chong Kindly refused the master’s lunch offer and walked home alone.
