Chapter 416: Huang Jiming’s Battlelust (2/2)

A knock came from the door of the Tribe Leader's office.

”Come in,” the beautiful Tribe Leader did not lift her head as she continued to work on the documents on her desk.

The door was pushed open, and in came a young man. ”Tribe Leader, you called for me?” It was a gentle voice, pleasant to hear. The man wore a friendly, positive expression that was infectious for anyone who saw him.

The Tribe Leader finally lifted her head. She looked at the friendly young man before her and could not help a little smile as she said, ”Ah, it's Jiming, come over here.”

The young man looked meek as he approached the Tribe Leader. No one would have guessed that this shy and mellow young man was one of the Legendary Three of the He Yue Galaxy, and Xi Feng Tribe's most skilled personnel, Huang Jiming.

”Come and look at this recording,” the Tribe Leader activated the room's holographic screen.

On the screen was a replay of the scene where Ye Chong avoided the combined beam attack.

Huang Jiming's gentle expression turned severe, and his warm, friendly charisma transformed into a sharp coldness. His whole body radiated with power. In just an instant, the disguise that he wore in his everyday life was swept away. No one would doubt the status of the current Huang Jiming as Xi Feng Tribe's most skilled combatant.

The Tribe Leader was not unsettled by his sudden change. On the contrary, she looked satisfied.

”A Mandate class mech? What a strong opponent! To think that the Ye Family has someone so capable besides Ye Yin! Giving a Mandate class mech to this pilot does not do him justice.” Huang Jiming now sounded low and solemn, like he transformed into a completely different person.

The Tribe Leader looked troubled as well. ”This came from the free space zone. There's still no news from Feng Su. She's officially missing. We have people searching for her, but there's no news yet. This Mandate class mech was encountered by a search team on Guang Hua planet. Feng Su's last known location was also on Guang Hua planet.”

Huang Jiming narrowed his eyes. ”If Feng Su were to battle with him, it would not be terribly difficult for him to kill her. I'm just curious. For such a capable mech pilot, the Ye Family should have given him a more advanced mech, but instead he got a Mandate class.”

”Is he really that strong?” The Tribe Leader seemed appalled.

”Yes.” There was an undertone of battlelust in Huang Jiming's voice. ”He is probably on the same level as me, Ye Yin and Siva. Any differences in strength would be almost negligible.”

”Since when did the Ye Family had such a powerful expert?” The Tribe Leader lowered her head in thought.

Huang Jiming stayed silent, staring at the holographic screen.

The Tribe Leader asked abruptly, ”How did he do it?”

Huang Jiming sounded impressed as he explained, ”His evasion maneuvers were excellent. He had kept on with his evasions, and when the combined beam attack happened, he had made a short range high speed change in direction. The change was not large, but it was executed fast enough that it looked like a blur on the screen. Our mech pilots had aimed manually, so they could not help but respond to the sudden change in direction of the enemy. This is a mistake due to a long training history, and skilled veterans are especially susceptible. The mistake committed in aiming caused the beam to be slightly off target, which was how the mech managed to survive. Since the change in direction was short ranged, our mech pilots could not detect it. This subconscious mistake could not be detected by the pilots at all. The more capable the shooter, the more effective this trick is. Besides, notice that his high speed change in direction was done with accelerated speed. That was how his final wide angle evasion move allowed him to avoid the combined beam attack.”

”Do you think you can execute the same moves?” The Tribe Leader asked.

”With great difficulty,” Huang Jiming answered honestly. ”This man had managed to survive a combined beam attack, and more importantly, he timed his moves well, so well that his every change in direction was timed perfectly. His final wide angle evasion move was even more impressive. Even a slight delay would have given him a different ending. On the other hand, to be honest, the guy's just extremely lucky.”

”Strange, why would the Ye Family send such a skilled mech pilot to the free space zone?” The Tribe Leader muttered to herself.

Once again, Huang Jiming stayed silent. Suddenly, he lifted his head and said, ”Tribe Leader, I'd like to visit the free space zone.”

”You want to head to the free space zone?” The Tribe Leader seemed troubled. ”Oh, Jiming, you know all too well that the Tribe is in dire need of military strength. If you go to the free space zone now …” Seeing Huang Jiming's determined expression, the Tribe Leader could not finish her sentence.

The Tribe Leader's office fell into silence.

After a full 10 minutes, the Tribe Leader finally relented with a sigh. ”Alright, go. However, please be careful. The Tribe has no men to spare right now, so you can only go alone.”

”Don't worry, Tribe Leader. I've yet to meet a person who is good enough to kill me,” Huang Jiming said with this unshakeable confidence.
