Chapter 471: Fissure Strangle (2/2)

Suddenly, the spectators in the arena roared in excitement, attracting their attention.

Two light yellow trails dissolved like crystals into the air.

At the beginning of these two trails were the examiner's shining laser katars [1] that he held in his hands.

The examiner sat in his pilot cabin, his eyes full of disbelief.

He … He missed!

How was that possible? That was his first thought.

He had used a very difficult technique just now, but also a very aggressive one. This was a move that he had practised for a long time, but until now, he could rarely execute the move successfully, so he never used it in actual combat. Now, since his opponent was not dangerous at all, and the fight was dragging on, he decided on impulse to try the technique.

This time, he miraculously executed the entire move, and that made him so very happy.

He knew that, with this difficult move executed, his opponent would surely fall, either injured or dead. That was out of his control.

However … He missed!

What happened? His excitement from executing the attack move completely was immediately doused with cold water. He had anticipated victory, but missed at the very last moment. It drove him mad! It all happened too quickly that he could not figure out what went wrong.

Ye Chong panted heavily. That was a very dangerous moment that strained him to the extreme. However, he keyed in the commands on the controls quickly, without delay.

From the moment his opponent stepped back, Ye Chong knew what trouble he was about to face.

Fissure Strangle!

This technique was quite famous, though Ye Chong though it was impractical. However, he must admit that once the move was executed, it would be very damaging to the enemy.

If he had Han Jia, this Fissure Strangle would be child's play to counter. Before his opponent could finish the preparatory moves, Ye Chong would have ample time to thoroughly conceal his mech.

However, he did not have Han Jia, but an experimental mech! Ye Chong quickly gave up on attacking, and decided to block and avoid instead. Ye Chong's quick assessment saved him. He had immediately identified the three locations that his opponent would hit. This gave him 1.5 seconds to act on it.

However, it was in this 1.5 seconds that Ye Chong keyed in the commands on his triangular controls panel that he was unfamiliar with. During the process, Ye Chong even made a mistake, but this was quickly corrected with his extraordinary hand speed. By the time he corrected his mistake, the laser katars were already before him.

Ye Chong's mech bent its left leg and lunged its right leg backwards for support. Its body arched slightly. The left arm held up its V-shaped shield to the front, and the right arm reached down to the ground for support. The mech went into this strange stance.

Wham!

The first to be destroyed was the V-shaped shield. It was smashed to pieces by direct impact from the attack. However, the opponent's movement was halted, and that was Ye Chong was waiting for.

With the right arm and both legs against the ground, Ye Chong's mech pushed forward! The mech's engines were all installed at the limbs to increase their power. Hence, the combined power of all three engines boosted the mech's speed and power tremendously!

Ye Chong's mech was like a spring compressed to its limit, then released.

Bang!

A deep buzzing sound of metal against metal hurt the ears of the audience.

Ye Chong's mech had crashed straight into the examiner's mech. Since the attack was upwards, the examiner's mech flew back in the opposite direction at an even higher speed.

Everyone who watched this could not help but think of an ancient sport - billiards! Weren't these two mechs just like two billiard balls colliding?

The entire arena was shocked into silence for a good 10 seconds. Then, a thunderous roar of applause came from the stage. Everyone was won over by the battle.

The two mechs faced each other once again. The examiner's mech still looked untouched, but Number 231's mech had only half of its shield on its left arm. Everyone knew that Number 231 could no longer rely on the shield for cover. It would lose, sooner or later.

Even so, the audience cheered loudly for for the wonderful performance by the unwieldy looking mech just now.
