Chapter 591: Return IV (2/2)
Ye Chong could not be sure.
As the video continued, the image began to shake violently. The red-tailed beast was constantly shifting around the mech, coming in closer and then moving away again. Ye Chong believed that this was probably some battle strategy of the mech pilot.
After a while, Ye Chong was able to gauge the mech pilot's abilities. He was very strong! Not considering the mech's capabilities, Ye Chong thought that this man was at least on the same level as Ye Family's ace, Ye Yin. No, this mech pilot was probably stronger than even him. He was obviously more experienced than Ye Yin.
Even Ye Chong himself only had a 50-50 chance of defeating this mech pilot. However, since Ye Chong had Celest, he was sure he would be able to best this mech pilot. Celest had much better specs than this old mech. Besides, after its upgrade, Celest had become much stronger than before. If they used the same mech, Ye Chong believed that he would be on about the same level as this mech pilot.
Ye Chong saw the date indicated on the video, and found that it was recorded 26 years ago! To have this level of ability 26 years ago was amazing! 26 years was a long time for a mech pilot who could learn fast, enough to have several breakthroughs at least.
The mech pilot was strong! Ye Chong felt deep respect for him, as he would for anyone who proved to be strong.
”The Three Aristocratic Families are no longer what they used to be,” Ye Chong thought to himself as he continued to watch the 26-year-old recording.
However, what did it matter to him? He did not care about the Three Aristocratic Families. Ye Chong did not know where that thought came from. Even though he was of the Ye Family bloodline, he never felt anything special for the Ye Family.
Lil' Luo Luo … Ye Chong suddenly recalled the legendary Ye Family's ace 20 years ago - Ye Luo. Could this man be Ye Luo? Ye Chong thought it highly likely. Perhaps only the Ye Family's ace could reach this level. Ye Chong never expected himself to one day think of this so-called Ye Family's ace, someone he was inspired by and thought highly of, to be just another opponent of equal strength.
Only the strong would have this level of confidence in their own abilities. Such was Ye Chong's situation.
Ye Chong continued to watch the holographic recording.
The battle was intense. This red-tailed beast was very strong. Ye Chong thought many times that the mech pilot could hurt it, but the creature easily avoided these attacks. Ye Chong imagined the battle himself. If he was in the mech pilot's position, fighting against this eight-fingered red-tailed beast, could he win?
Ye Chong studied the holographic screen closely, not noticing the sweat that was already forming on his forehead. Rui Bing looked at Ye Chong worriedly, but bit down on her lip and forced herself to keep quiet.
More and more sweat formed on Ye Chong's forehead, which then rolled down his neck.
Suddenly, Ye Chong's breathing turned shorter. His eyes gleamed meaningfully. Ye Chong's body jolted as he broke out of his trance. Ye Chong panted heavily, but his eyes showed that he was now calm and collected as usual.
Rui Bing heaved a sigh of relief.
”This red-tailed beast is powerful,” Ye Chong plainly. He looked back at the holographic screen. The red-tailed beast had a firm upper hand. If it was not a red-tailed beast, Ye Chong would have thought it had parapsychic abilities. The animal fought like Xi Feng Tribe's mentalists, with the ability to predict its enemy's next move. Compared to the mentalists, however, it was far stronger.
Even Xi Feng Tribe's Huang Jiming, their so-called ace, would have a hard time dealing with this creature's attacks, much less normal mentalists.
The battle soon turned critical.
Shang's lazy demeanor was replaced with great solemnity. He provided support fire from behind Ye Luo. With his assistance, the battle came to a stalemate.
The animal was able to evade even Shang's gunfire. Ye Chong's expression was somber. Shang was inferior to Mu when it came to combat, but the difference was very slight. Ye Chong had never seen any mech pilot able to best the mech.
However, this battle recording showed that the combined effort of Ye Chong and Shang was only just enough to hold the eight-fingered red-tailed beast at bay.
It was a terrifying though! A chill went up Ye Chong's spine.
