Chapter 542: Strength and Wickedness

Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Chong did not have to think much about the match. The terrain that Prince Desnio described as complicated was not a hindrance to him. Back on the trash planet, he had travel in much worse places every single day.

He soon located the 12 shooters. He headed towards them without delay. Ye Chong moved easily across the hilly terrain. His seemingly fragile body was packed with explosive strength. His legs were like springs, launching him higher and further than any normal human being!

”Heavens! What's that I saw? What was that?” Prince Desnio stood up in excitement and exclaimed, ”Is that running? Or is that flying? I can't imagine anyone able to jump around like that so freely. He's so fast it's like a lightning bolt. This goes against all laws of gravity. Has Master Ye trained his legs to possess this much power? It's incredible! Oh, I'd like to have Master Ye as my teacher, so that I would one day be able to run like that too. I'll walk the borders of Eastern Cloud with my own legs!”

All the nobles were just as excited as Prince Desnio. They stared at the screen with bulging eyes. Many of the younger nobilities even considered asking Ye Chong to be their teacher. Ye Chong's amazing abilities had left them thoroughly impressed.

Prince Desnio was excited, but he still had a shred of calmness left in him. ”Master Ye's performance is beyond our imaginations, but it is still too early to decide who will win tonight's match. After all, our shooters are equally capable. Their parapsychic senses are almost at the speed of light. Who will emerge as the champion tonight? Master Ye, or the shooters? No matter the outcome, we can be sure that both sides will clash into each other magnificently.”

Ye Chong's face was as expressionless as usual. He ran towards the 12 shooters. His movements reminded the audience of a leopard running through the woods - fluid and powerful.

In fact, this was easier than facing against the 12 shooters last time. Before this, it was an open plane in his courtyard whereas this time it was a hilly environment that heavily favoured Ye Chong. Even without his recent breakthrough, Ye Chong was sure he could deal with three shooters at a time with no issue, much less in his current improved state.

After the isolated training was over, Ye Chong had rested for a few days. Now, when he ran, he could feel so much energy flowing through his body. He ran faster and faster, hearing the wind bellowing loudly in his ears. As Ye Chong accelerated, his body moved like a spirit on the huge screen, leaving a long afterimage behind his fleeting figure.

The audience members were all on their feet by now. They had never seen anything quite like this! Of all the people in the audience chamber, only Sun Sieha was sitting calmly, enjoying his red wine. On one side, Duke Warren was standing up, gaping at the screen. On his other side, Ming Xiao was not faring any better. He had crushed the wine glass in his hand into pieces, splashing red wine all over his attire. The man was oblivious to it all, however, as he continued to stare at the blurry figure on the huge screen.

The distance felt a little short for Ye Chong.

The 12 shooters were already in sight as Ye Chong slid down from above a hill. He did not slow down as he slipped past the hilly terrain that stood in his way. He slithered forward like a black bolt of lightning. It must be terrible to run into any obstacles at his speed, but Ye Chong did not seem to care. Besides, he was without a scratch so far! He controlled his trajectory easily, avoiding all the sharp protrusions along his way.

As he approached the shooters, Ye Chong moved even more carefully. The shooters were no threat to him, but he would take no chances.

He began to vibrate all his body parts at high frequency. His strong body was the only reason he could execute such an impossible feat.

His figure now appeared like an unrecognizable blob on the huge screen. No one knew what was happening, except for Sun Sieha. It was enough to command an even greater sense of mystery in Ye Chong for all the nobles who thought themselves well learned.

Ye Chong stepped lightly, approaching the shooters with a Z shaped manoeuvre. The complicated terrain made it an excellent battlefield for Ye Chong. He could easily find anchor points to make his next leap.

Ye Chong's first contact was with George. Perhaps the man was still feeling vengeful, but he was leading the shooters team right then. He had the most excruciating experience today. ”Excruciating” was no exaggeration. The man did not seem to realize that his enemy was just close by yet. He was still searching carefully with parapsychic sense.

George was one of the best shooters in his generation. A duel was a common way for nobles to resolve conflicts, especially for the young. Naturally, for people of higher status like Duke Warren and Ming Xiao, the extent of the duel escalated to an entirely different level.

George was familiar with the Hills. He was deeply humiliated earlier tonight. Never had he been humiliated in front of so many people before. Most importantly, he would leave a bad impression in the King.

It was simply terrible!

The thought of that twice cursed b*stard made George grind his teeth in anger.

Humiliation – it was a monumental humiliation! He must avenge for it with his own hands!

He was completely defenceless just now, but he thought that was because his opponent had ambushed him. That was against the rules of combat, lacking the grace that nobles should have. The d*mned bumpkin! George could not stop cursing Ye Chong.

He also did not forget Shu Man'er. His glance turned towards Shu Man'er, who was not far from her. The woman had dared to leave him in such disgrace. He will see to it that the Shu Family paid the price. He never thought much of the Shu Family.

Suddenly, he saw a blur in his vision.

”What was that?” He blacked out before he could even react.

Ye Chong struck out fast, landing a chop on George's jugular vein and rendering the man unconscious.

It all happened so quickly, but the veterans like Mang responded just as quickly. Mang called out, ”Everyone, look out!” Now was the time when the difference between the experienced shooters like Mang and the nobles showed. The nobles all reacted clumsily, unsure of what to do next. The veterans had already begun firing on instinct.

They could not lock on to Ye Chong, but they also knew that it would be very difficult to avoid being shot at in this narrow space around them. They fired without thinking about their comrades, knowing that the fluorescent beams were harmless. What they aimed for was the team's win. As long as they could defeat Ye Chong, it did not matter if anyone on their side got shot. Shu Man'er surprised everyone by also having her gun out almost immediately. Her flawless face showed calm and seasoned competence. Nevertheless, she had not fired yet for some reason.
