Chapter 191: Miracle? Masterstroke!

Tan Lingyun burst forward in a speedy dash the an Her Anticipative Advance was near flawless Her speed and control n-ranked pilot – but the difference between her and Xiao Han was expansive

Xiao Han was only just crossing the Sovereign threshold He was learning the basic techniques, largely froyun, on the other hand, was old school What’s more, she was the most capable pilot in the NEU – at least, as far as they knew Her Sovereign experience was extensive, comparatively Even in the whole of the Eastern Alliance, she was a nanized

But her opponent was not so easily cowed As Tan Lingyun raced forward, Su He’s reaction was unexpected Instead of dodging or racing away, he chose not to make an escape There was no attempt to keep their distance fixed, nor did he heft and aied his e Goddess

What was he planning? Countless confused stares followed the yellow mecha, unsure of the tactics at play

The two yun sat in the dark simulator, the full intensity of her focus on the screen before her Like the others, she wasn’t sure what Su He was doing by charging her But her indoer than the metal her suit was reen mecha’s ars spread wide Itsspikes protruded froed ie Goddess coaxed her suit faster The thrusters keeping her aloft changed fro white Less than one hundred hters She tore ahead like a green hurricane

Su He’s yellow suit stopped just then, hovering in the air It seemed somehow, fuzzy

Crash! The crunch of i from the screens

Su He reyun’s forwardanother hundred meters away

Onlookers noticed, then, the weapon the yellow mecha bore They had appeared at sos stretched from hand to shoulder, wrapped around his arinated froiant canon on his back, but appeared to have chosen to engage Tan Lingyun in close

Professor Tan had, by this ti her suit around her another pass As she did, the audience could clearly see two deep gashes along her shoulders

She was already day shield, she’d likely have been cut in half At first, this looked like a siht, but this was a shock to everyone

Most onlookers couldn’t clearly discern what happened when he two yun’s ed

Su He’s yellow ain But it was in no rush – no charge or tricky advance It lookedOnce it dreithin about a hundred litch, or maybe some malfunction of the suit, but as the audience watched the screens they saw a ghost ihter appear – for just a split second

What the hell was that? Everyone was at a loss It was a norhest level yuan gasped in alarm He twisted his neck to talk to Lan Jue, but found the seat beside him empty Lan Jue apparently hadn’t yet returned froyuan turned his eyes back to the screen, his heart fluttering Of course he kneas ghosting It was the result of intense speed, where a pilot’s thrusters were engaged and shut off so quickly the mecha appeared in two places at once for just a moment It was a God-ranked pilot ability

DreamNet simulations were calibrated for safety That meant that abilities and attacks were only employed to where the pilot could stand it If they couldn’t, the si the ability was somewhat easier due to the calibrations, but even then it ell beyond the ken of a noryuan wasn’t capable of the feat hi also had different ‘levels’ At the highest levels it was said the after-ier An attacker couldn’t distinguish the real one from the copy The very best pilots were reputed to do just that, with distances up to ten host

Su He wasn’t at that level, and the ies he cast lasted so briefly it was hard to notice Still, it was there, and nearly half his torso long That was an accomplishment most pilots could never achieve

The tactical benefit of the et, direction and more were made infinitely more difficult Even radar couldn’t pick it up It was traditionally used versus snipers, but this tiyun watched from the simulator, her mind blank

The crowds couldn’t see clearly, even with their eagle-eye viehat had happened But Tan Lingyun, she should’ve Should’ve, being the operative terreen suit had been launching towards Su He, spikes bared like aniht she’d landed the blow, but before her eyes she saw the spikes go through hihtly out of harm’s way In that same instant he had y in to the shield, she’d have been reduced to scrap right then

Tan Lingyun was stunned, and took stock of the situation She was fast, with a hand speed that was n pilot required twenty moves per second She was capable of twenty-five, which in and of itself was an impressive feat
