Chapter 214：The God-Ranked Battle

The constant, high-speed maneuvers were difficult for Lan Jue to keep track off Indeed, he’d already lost track of how long he’d been dodging He did know that, at around the thirteen- discipline Thankfully the machine worked as the Bookworm assured – it was able to read and translate his discipline in to the sih that power he was able to inject his mecha and make it move the way it did

But really, it was a carefree and enjoyable experience to test one’s limits! He’d been involved in very many tests over the years, but in all of those he couldn’t recall one that went to the length this one did

His hands ached, but there was a coift, and to him it seemed like there really was no difference in the sih the course of the test, he found hier than he remembered after his recovery Even his hand speed had improved

“Test complete Hand speed: ninety CPS 1 Total peak hand speed unknown Peak hand speed for the first test: ninety CPS”

Ninety?! I’ve reached ninety co results

He’d been stuck at eighty-seven for six years It wasn’t as though he hadn’t vigorously trained to change that in the past, but he hadn’t had many opportunities to train it

Noas hearing from the simulation that he’d reached that hurdle, and passed it

What’s more, that may not even be his peak speed

Of course Lan Jue was not aware that his mysterious increase in poas a result of the Silkworm Discipline that’d saved hih not only to heal his ruined body, but i to clearly see the benefits his troubled have reaped

Outside the simulator

Slap! The Bookworm viciously smacked the armrest of his chair with a wrinkled hand

Su He, recently returned fro on the comatose Accountant, jumped at the sound

“The kid actually passed! Hmph! But we have more fun in store for him, and I doubt he’ll be able to handle it!”

Within the si Please note, pilots will feel the simulation as they would in real life Battles will continue until complete, or until the pilot sustained critical, life threatening da in the small sim pod

Practical combat, eh? Lan Jue’s eyes flashed with anticipation He was excited to get started

“Weapons selection”

Several sorts of weapons, of many different styles and sorts, appeared before the silver mecha for selection

Lan Jue picked up a spear with very little consideration necessary He reached out for another, but they all vanished

A beaht appeared in the distance It was a mecha, ruby in color, that released a fiery red aura as it raced his way This was a practical combat test, he recalled, not a co whistle or other outside indications

His sie sword, with a blade as red as the rest of the suit In the span of a few breaths, he’d arrived before Lan Jue

The silver ing its spear up before it

The encroaching red light fell to earth Lan Jue did not ht washed over hie The Jewelry Master suddenly thrust his weapon straight upwards

Dink! The sound of i out The red mecha shivered, lost its balance and tumbled to the side

It was clear now that the first appearance of the redtechniques

The Silver ht flashed over hi with arcs of blue electricity He was like a bullet, charging ferociously towards his enemy with spear outstretched

The red ot back to its feet A fiery red aura sprung to life around it

The silver mecha continued its approach The suit’s forward motion was clear at the onset, but suddenly Lan Jue shifted, approaching obliquely A flash, and then his direction changed again He left a dazzling blue contrail in his wake, tracing his erratic advance

The spear flashed keenly in the Jewelry Master’s hand The strange conical blue light that followed him vanished, as the silver , Lan Jue barreled headlong in to the redimpact was so intense that it seemed the whole siround like a sack of metal parts The fire that surrounded it spread out in all directions Lan Jue took the moment to recover his balance and, with a vicious swipe of his spear, obliterated the spot where the pilot’s cockpit would be

Boooommmmm! Lan Jue’s unfortunate opponent exploded, with shrapnel flying every which way The pieces dissolved in to disparate flashes of light, then vanished

As his first opponent vanished in to oblivion, a second e, and a sniper judging by the si, a frighteningly fast orange light raced towards hie mecha reappeared at Lan Jue’s back
