Chapter 549: How Does One Look Fabulous? (2/2)

They could decipher more of what was happening in the battle than low level shooters. While the real truth was far from clear, they could see that a moment ago, Xuan Ning was at a disadvantage.

This was a huge surprise to the Level 8 shooters. They never imagined that Ye Chong could threaten a Level 8 shooter! Even the combined strength of a dozen Level 6 shooters could not hope to overcome a Level 8 shooter. Nevertheless, they now waited eagerly for Xuan Ning's next move - what would he do now?

Xuan Ning, the shooter closest to Level 9, was worthy of his reputation. How some Level 8 shooters were stronger than their peers could probably only be truly understood by Level 8 shooters.

Now that Xuan Ning was at a disadvantage, he did something utterly unexpected. What was happening?

The answer was obvious to the Level 8 shooters - this was almost certainly Xuan Ning's new technique!

No one doubted Xuan Ning's talent. In fact, only geniuses can ever hope to reach Level 8. Everyone had different goals in their lives, but it was better to know the limits of one's ability beforehand.

Xuan Ning closed his eyes, and the world around him quieted down.

All the noise around him faded. His parapsychic sense informed him of every detail in his surroundings. In this clear view of the world around him, there was a smudge that he could not lock on to.

A cold and eager smile appeared on his lips.

Ye Chong did not care what his opponent was trying to do. Never fight passively in response to the enemy - that was one of his principles in combat.

However, Ye Chong noticed abruptly that something was wrong.

The dozens of clear blue lines in his vision were disappearing at an alarming rate.

Ye Chong was caught off guard. He had never experienced this before, even with Sha Ya.

The blue lines in Ye Chong's vision were always changing. Sometimes they were gone in the blink of an eye. If he did not make use of these openings, he would be locked on by his opponent.

Ye Chong had no time to figure out his situation. He tried his best to change his form according to the blue lines. The blue lines seemed to come to live - they were changing very quickly, giving Ye Chong less and less time to follow them.

Ye Chong lost his initiative in the battle. He must now follow the blue lines, which were the gaps between the opponent's parapsychic sense. However, the blue lines were getting fewer and fewer. They were disappearing very quickly, giving Ye Chong lesser options and time to fit himself into these openings.

On the other hand, his opponent's parapsychic waves seemed to have transformed. The blue lines in Ye Chong's vision were no longer clear. Instead, they appeared blurred and sketchy, and the lines twisted constantly.

While Ye Chong focused on staying with the blue lines, he suddenly found himself getting further and further away from Xuan Ning.

For the audience, it was an odd sight to behold.

Xuan Ning stood unmoving with his eyes closed. Ye Chong never stopped moving, changing positions quickly. No one could see Xuan Ning's parapsychic waves clearly. They did not know what he was doing. On the other hand, Ye Chong's quick leaping motions and his long steps that reached over half a dozen meters captivated the audience.

Teenagers, especially, thought that the afterimages behind Ye Chong as he moved were simply too cool!

Ye Chong gathered his thoughts. He realized the severity of his situation. If this continued on, he would never get close enough to Xuan Ning. The shooter might not able to threaten him as well, but that would only result in a stalemate between them.

Ye Chong noticed the rocks that paved the battle ring, and realized his next move.

Ye Chong cried out abruptly - Mortal Roar!

An invisible soundwave rippled quickly outwards from his position.

Mortal Roar was not dangerous for a Level 8 shooter. Ye Chong knew that from his experience with fighting Sha Ya. However, Ye Chong did not intend for his attack to harm Xuan Ning. He only wanted his opponent to feel the vibrations.

Xuan Ning had never encountered this weird soundwave attack before, and was affected by it, as expected.

This tiny disturbance had amplified results in Xuan Ning's parapsychic waves. The number of blue lines in Ye Chong's vision spiked up immediately.

Ye Chong did not hesitate. He was standing at the intersection between two blue lines.

This opening was enough for him!

Ye Chong stomped his right foot heavily into the floor of the battle ring.

Boom! A low booming sound reverberated in the stadium, hammering into the hearts of the audience. Some felt like vomiting in the aftermath.

Something incredibly shocking happened in the battle ring.

Cracks appeared on the rock pavement, beginning from Ye Chong's right foot and spreading outwards.

Xuan Ning felt the ground shook. He was greatly surprised, and could no longer maintain his calm.

Ye Chong stomped with his right foot again.

The tiny rock fragments on the ground bounced up.

Ye Chong yelled again. He aimed his right leg at a palm-sized rock and kicked.

The rock zipped towards Xuan Ning like a cannonball.

The audience was shocked. Prince Desnio was shocked. Duan Qian was shocked. Even Sun Sieha was shocked!

Xuan Ning was also shocked!

He aimed his laser gun and fired continuously at the rock. The rock was moving quickly, but he could still lock on to it. Nevertheless, his body could not react fast enough to avoid the rock! He could only hope that the rock was destroyed before it reached him!

However, amidst this emergency, he had forgotten something very important. The laser gun in his hand was not his usual weapon of choice - the top of the line Seahorse Eye. Instead, it was only a fluorescent gun used for contests! The fluorescent gun could only penetrate clothing to reach human skin, but it would not do a thing against a rock!

”It's over!” Xuan Ning quickly realized his situation. His heart sank. He could detect the rock clearly with his parapsychic sense. The rock was so fast that it would injure him even at half the speed. If he was hit anywhere vulnerable, he might even die from it!

Where was the rock targeted at? His head, of course!

Ahh!

Xuan Ning's eyes bulged. A thick vein popped up on his temple. At the brink of life and death, Xuan Ning demonstrated his astonishing potential.

Ye Chong suddenly felt the parapsychic waves around him disappear.

Boom!

The rock exploded three meters away from Xuan Ning, and sprayed a rain of debris outwards.

The entire stadium went quiet.

Xuan Ning stared with bulging eyes for five more seconds, and then fell backwards. He crashed heavily into the ground and fainted.

Ye Chong realized then that he had nearly killed Xuan Ning. This was indirect proof of Xuan Ning's strength. The shooter made Ye Chong felt threatened. Ye Chong did not feel particularly regretful. He looked towards Xuan Sieha and shrugged helplessly.

A stylish performance was too difficult for him!

Sun Sieha was livid. He had almost had his strongest subordinate killed by that guy! D*mn, that idiotic worm, did he not understand that this was just a demonstration contest?

When he saw Ye Chong shrugged at him, Sun Sieha could no longer reign in his anger anymore. He roared at his councilors, ”What're you looking at? Where's the doctor? Get a f*cking doctor to check Xuan Ning!” The infuriated Sun Sieha cursed in front of his councilors for the first time ever.
