Chapter 479: Crazy Training I

Ye Chong watched emotionlessly as the mech closed in on him. He was ready to launch his attack once his opponent was within range. However, to his surprise, the mech spread its wings and swooped up, grazing past Ye Chong's head.

What was that about? Ye Chog looked at the rapidly climbing mech, unable to comprehend the pilot's intention. Muscle Man could only fight on the ground, and was useless in aerial battles. Still, Ye Chong prepared himself. Muscle Man's right leg pushed backwards, and the mech leapt forward and turned around, adjusting its position.

The anticipated aerial attack did not occur. The mech in the sky changed its course and flew towards the damaged D-6.

The mech was quick, and caught on to D-6 soon enough. Its two mechanical arms rested lightly on D-6, then its wings angled to make a U-turn in the air, and the two mechs ended up landing somewhere not far from Ye Chong.

”So it's going to rescue D-6,” Ye Chong thought to himself. After ascertaining that the mech was not hostile, Ye Chong resumed a more neutral stance.

Now, he could finally examine the mech that appeared out of nowhere. It was in gold and light red, giving off a feeling of elegance and magnificence. The mech's body was slim and well balanced, with a strong sense of femininity. The wings on its back were composed of small and colorful feather pieces, like a pair of rainbow wings. The left arm had a diamond shaped shield, while a laser sword's hilt was secured to its right leg, near the knee.

It was rare to see protective fins on close range mechs. Usually, protective fins were used for to stabilize atmospheric flight, and long range mechs would definitely benefit from them. For close range mechs, however, large and vulnerable fins would become easy target. Besides, since close range mechs were built to be physically stronger, they were often much heavier than long range mechs. The mech in front of Ye Chong was clearly designed for long ranged combat.

This long range mech was actually used for close range combat. Ye Chong could already guess who it was - it must be one of the instructors from a nearby training ground. D-6 should be piloted by one of the instructor's students.

”I'm so sorry. My student lost control of his mech and interrupted your group, please accept my humblest apologies,” a pleasant female voice said.

”Oh, it's alright,” Ye Chong replied calmly. It was as he expected.

”I am Group 16's instructor, Shen Ruxue. I don't know your name yet. Perhaps you'll accept my invitation to dinner as re-compensation,” from the mech's audio broadcast came a mellow female voice. All of Ye Chong's students who overheard her looked jealous of him. Shen Ruxue had gathered the most attention amongst all the instructors, since she was the only woman instructor, and a beautiful one at that. Many students were eager to join her group, but before they could, the 16 spots were snatched up very quickly.

Ye Chong looked at the time, and declined, ”Sorry, I'm busy.” In fact, he was getting rather impatient. His entire training schedule was jam packed, there was no time to spare. Now, this instructor from Group 16 was saying all these useless words. To him, it was just a waste of time.

”A pretty lady!” A joyful voice appeared in Ye Chong's mind. Ye Chong sighed inside. As expected, she had gotten Shang's attention! He knew that Shang was far more interested in beautiful women than he was, and could be very stubborn about them. More importantly, Shang's blabbering never failed to tire his listeners, and even Ye Chong could not take him on.

”Wah, Ye, it's a real pretty lady. Heavens, finally, something interesting in this dark existence of ours! Yes, her measurements, body shape, weight, it's all in my archive now. Ye, she's asking you out for dinner, what an opportunity, go for it! Why not?” Shang was practically shouting in excitement.

Ye Chong kept his mouth shut and ignored Shang.

Shen Ruxue did not expect that Ye Chong would reject her. She was slightly taken aback, but quickly replied with some anger in her tone, ”I see, you don't think I'm worthy. Then consider my invitation a shameless attempt. Goodbye!” With that, she lifted that damaged D-6 and took off, flying towards a neighbouring training ground.

”Sigh, Ye, don't be so rigid! Wow, look at these numbers, it's wonderful, her measurements are almost perfect, she's definitely first class!” Ye Chong could imagine Shang shaking his huge mechanical head, blinking his blue bionic eyes erratically as he muttered indulgently.

A thin smile appeared on Ye Chong's lips, but he ignored the mech still, and focused on his new students.

”Everyone, get familiar with your mechs. You must at least pass Level 3 of the directional change arena.”

Ye Chong's cold voice echoed across the training ground. All his students gathered themselves and quickly moved their D-6's towards the directional change arena, forgetting whatever nonsense ideas they were having.

”Ye, what do you think about that Shen Ruxue's capabilities?” Shang knew exactly how to gain Ye Chong's attention.
