Chapter 482: Situation

Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

”Ye, we have a situation,” Shang said with concern. In front of Ye Chong was a holographic screen showing the star chart of Gray Valley. There were many areas highlighted in red. Gray Valley looked like a sick patient covered with angry rashes, in a critical situation. The red zones were areas where red-tailed beasts were sighted.

Shang and Mu had worked together and decrypted Gray Valley's virtual world computation system. After overcoming this difficult obstacle, Shang slipped quietly into the virtual world to gather useful information.

There was a spike in news related to red-tailed beast recently. Cities began to feel the pressure, and the number of casualties were hiking up crazily. Even the atmosphere within the training camp had grown tense. People were no longer smiling so easily. Everyone was training hard.

All this while, everyone in Gray Valley had been confident of winning the war. However, the situation had descended quickly into chaos.

Ye Chong studied at the bruised star chart quietly. He considered for a moment and asked, ”How is security like right now at the Gateway towards He Yue Galaxy?”

”Hmm, from what I gather, security has laxed recently, but no enough for you to pass through,” Shang replied.

Shang was better than Mu in analyzing intel. This surprised Ye Chong, and it was only after Shang explained that he understood why. Shang was a pro in psychology, and could often deduce useful information from seemingly irrelevant information. This was a quality that Mu lacked.

Financially speaking, they could afford to leave where they were, but they had decided to stay instead. If they left, they might encounter the red-tailed beasts in outer space, and that was dangerous. Leaving Planet Henna right now would be a risky move. Even with Ye Chong's extraordinary abilities, it was still necessary to act cautiously in the current state of unrest.

In a society of unrest, the power of just one person was like a drop in the ocean. Hence, after discussion with Shang, Ye Chong had decided to stay and observe the situation.

Every day he trained himself by training his students, and his students' attacks became more and more violent. Even Xi Qing could not keep his cool. Ye Chong understood them, and did not hold back himself. In the end, he organized them into groups of five, and he would fight each group in turn. This allowed the students to practice coordination, while giving him some kind of challenge.

However, to Ye Chong's surprise, his students were not capable of any kind of strategizing. He had to teach them how to coordinate amongst themselves, how to choose their positions.

If only one of the Sang Tribe members were here. In terms of strategizing, the Sang Tribe would take first place, and the Xi Feng Tribe placed second.

Shang took unexpected interest in his task. He gathered large volumes of recordings about strategizing and tactics from the virtual world, analyzed them, then came up with an original Shang's Theory of War. To Ye Chong's astonishment, Shang's theories were very effective.

Shang was positively euphoric with Ye Chong's acknowledgement, and remained in that state of excitement for the next few days.

Ye Chong used Shang's theories to teach his students. Unlike Mu's precision and accuracy, Shang operated in a whole other realm. His methods were simple and flexible. For example, Shang had designed a formula of coordination for five-person squads. It did not demand fixed roles for each member, but instead acted as a guide for the members to respond to each other's movements. However, the squad members were restricted in the ways they could respond according to Shang's theories.

Ye Chong did not study his theories deeply before he began to teach them to his students. Af first, they improved very slowly. However, these theories and Ye Chong's rich combat experience helped the students improve in their coordination skills tremendously and in a very short time.

Now, Ye Chong's battle with the five-member squads were no longer so easy. The students, in turn, became even more respectful of their instructor. They knew exactly how powerful they were once they acted as a squad, but even so, their instructor had won against them decisively, every single time.

Just how strong was their instructor? No one had the answer to that question, but Ye Chong was slowly becoming something of an enigma to them.

Ye Chong oddly noticed that the working staff in the training camp did not seem to pay much notice to them. The staff who came daily in the beginning no longer visited. Such a large scale training camp was now apparently left to their own devices. Had something happened?

Ye Chong did not care, and continued to focus on his training every day. His students benefited from training with him, and vice versa. He never had the chance to train against multiple opponents before this. Additionally, the students may not be particularly capable, but they were now fighting with Ye Chong's typical style - simple but effective. These little Ye Chong's offered Ye Chong himself a decent challenge.

Five D-6's whooshed across the training ground in a seemingly random manner, but in fact they had already surrounded Ye Chong. Each mech was covered by two mechs on its sides. If Muscle Man attempted to target any one of them, the other two mechs would step in to interfere.

Inside his pilot cabin, Ye Chong's dull eyes began to show a tiny ripple of emotion.
