Chapter 568: All Going As Planned, Right? (2/2)

”The giant!” Shu Mo'er cried out, looking very pale. She and her group had gone to Yedda City because of the giant that Duo Ka spoke of. That was also how they came to know Ye Chong and got into a conflict with him. Shu Mo'er felt like her brain was about to explode.

Ye Chong threw a cold glance at Shu Mo'er. Celest's pilot cabin opened up just then.

Under the close attention of his large audience, Ye Chong entered the pilot cabin. He would not have time to enter Celest if any shooter were to appear suddenly. Ye Chong did not have watch his actions too much here. Besides, there should not be any fighter aircrafts here. Even if there were, Ye Chong was not afraid of them. The upgraded Celest was so powerful that not even its pilot, Ye Chong, knew exactly what it was capable of.

It would not hurt to be too careful. Ye Chong always chose the option that guaranteed the best results, even if it might be a lot of work.

The rest of the army watched with surprise, awe and disbelief as Celest finally moved!

Celest opened its half lidded eyes that shone brightly with life. Its eyes were devoid of emotion, just like Ye Chong's eyes.

Celest stepped forward slowly, its heavy footsteps hammering into the hearts of its audience.

In the pilot cabin, Ye Chong tapped on the control console with familiar strokes and activated its holographic scanning system. Celest's holographic scanning system was far more advanced than its primitive counterpart in the training vehicles. In fact, its holographic scanning system was top of the line.

There was no one around them. Ye Chong had given an order for Celest to expand its holographic scanning range to its maximum.

After this precautionary step, Ye Chong did not stop to relax. To the inexperienced students, the past few days had been very stressful, but Ye Chong considered them to be all part of his normal life. His mind was much tougher than normal people.

Time should never be wasted. This was one of Ye Chong's core principles.

Now, what should he be doing? Training, of course!

Training had been a huge part of Ye Chong's life. Whenever he had the time, he would dedicate himself to practicing. No matter how dry or basic the routine, he would repeatedly practice them. At his level, he might only be able to perform a basic move one millisecond faster after a million repetitions, but still he never faltered. This was why he could become so strong, and continue to become stronger and stronger.

Despite the audience, his training routine was not disrupted.

Ye Chong began his training as usual. First was the basics. Ye Chong never gave up on fundamentals. This was because Mu had once told him that all combat moves were made up of the basic moves. He never forgot this lesson, and held onto it as one of his training principles.

When Duan Xian saw the giant in black armor began to practice basic moves, he was stunned.

He never imagined that he would get to see a 10-metre giant in black armor performing basic combat moves like a combat expert.

It was mind-bending, to say the least!

He was a combat expert himself, and could see that Celest's every move was actually designed for battle!

More surprising was the fact that the giant could move deftly and quickly despite its size. Duan Qian found himself shaken by this observation. If a massive fist was able to strike out so quickly, it must be very powerful.

Compared to Duan Qian's more informed observations, the other students only saw the giant moving about. Nevertheless, it left quite an impression for them. The giant was huge, like a small hill. It was so heavy that every step shook the ground beneath them. The students who were sitting on the ground felt this more acutely than others. They could feel the weight and power behind the tremors that radiated through their bodies.

When a small hill in front of you was moving faster than a fighter, and more agile than a leopard, that feeling was simply …

It was simply too exciting!

Ye Chong completely ignored his surprised audience as he immersed himself completely into his training. After the basic moves, he moved on to more complicated battle moves.

When had the students ever seen such a dazzling display of mech combat? Every punch and kick was powerful and imposing. They could even hear the air whistling whenever the giant struck out quickly.

Duan Qian watched with his mouth gaping. The combat moves that the giant was performing were already more complicated than what he had learned so far. His biggest question now was, just what in the world was this giant?

Ye Chong did not know that his training demonstration had completely convinced his students of a mech's strength. When the students were offered the chance to use mechs as their weapons, there would be no objections. This was because they had seen Ye Chong train in one. Unlike shooters, they did not have so-called shooter's pride, and could accept mechs faster.

When Ye Chong was finished, he finally noticed the worshipping stares from his students.

He was not pleased because of this. In fact, he felt nothing at all. He rarely cared about how others saw him.

He only stayed true to himself.

Ye Chong did not exhaust himself from his training, since he must be prepared for enemies. Even so, he was already drenched in sweat by now. Ye Chong panted slightly, and focused on recovering.

Waiting and guarding his students were both tasks that required patience, but that was always a quality of Ye Chong's. Perhaps what he was doing now seemed dry and uninteresting, but Ye Chong could always find the energy to continue and persist in doing them.

There were no surprises so far, and this comforted Sha Ya. By now, the students had gotten used to having the giant moving among them.

The army soon reached the entrance to Darkniss, with Ye Chong and Sha Ya leading the students.
