Chapter 845: Chapter 715: Preemptive Strike
The Supreme of Gold Attribute did not realize he was caught in a mental trap: thinking the opponent was merely some Garbage Star native!
But it’s not entirely his fault; this area is marked as a red forbidden zone by the Imperial forces, unauthorized starships are strictly prohibited!
The second point is that there are quasi-military bases on Garbage Star, equipped with various monitoring systems for external observation.
Typically, any starship that mistakenly enters is detected in advance, and the base naturally takes appropriate action.
Of course, the monitoring on Garbage Star isn’t as intense as on ordinary Habitable Stars, because... there’s simply no need.
So, is there a possibility that a foreign starship could find a way to bypass the monitoring and land on Garbage Star?
This possibility objectively exists, but in such a case, one has to ask: What are they after?
If they’re after nothing and still force their way to land on Garbage Star, only a fool would believe that.
It’s important to realize that this star was once a rebellious star subdued by the Empire, now designated as a forbidden zone, entry is not allowed without permission.
It’s truly a case of "landing brings temporary joy, but then a family funeral!"
If they’re after something, come on, someone tell me... what could possibly be valuable on this heavily polluted planet?
Thus, the Supreme of Gold Attribute truly didn’t see the possibility that outsiders were involved.
Even when an attack ship appeared, he didn’t consider that aspect—although backward, there really are repair experts here!
It’s not that these experts are theoretically brilliant; rather, they’re all forged by the environment!
In a world with abundant materials, clothes can be worn once and discarded.
Knowing how to wash clothes, which areas to focus on, how to make washed clothes look new...
These techniques are mostly mastered by impoverished families in remote areas, abundant materials make mastering them unnecessary!
Therefore, while the Supreme of Gold Attribute’s thought process can’t be said to be incorrect, he just didn’t account for exceptional situations.
The moment the attack ship appeared, Company Level warship, likely for besieging the opponent’s high position, also launched an attack ship.
The time difference between the appearance of the two ships was less than two seconds, what kind of battle could ensue?
However, what surprised the Supreme of Gold Attribute truly happened.
As soon as that attack ship was released, it was blasted to pieces by the approaching attack ship—really, just like that, with one shot.
The Supreme of Gold Attribute was unaware of how masterful that shot was.
The newly launched attack ship hadn’t enhanced its Protective Shield strength, requiring standard evasion movements...
Put simply, to destroy an attack ship with one shot, the precision in vision and timing must be flawless.
The attackers also need to understand how the Imperial Military’s training manual designs the related evasion maneuvers, and how many variations exist.
Put simply, this tests not only vision, calculation, and reflexes, but also requires exceptional levels of prediction skills.
Although the Supreme of Gold Attribute had a military background, he joined the Divine Text Research Institute early on and really didn’t know about these intricacies.
Still, he was startled, "Did it just... blow up?"
Luckily, his mindset was sufficiently steady; although surprised, he continued micro-managing a series of Heart-Piercing Arrow attacks on the opposing Supreme.
Qu Jianlei discovered the attack ship had arrived, completely relaxed, and once again launched a Spiritual Attack.
The Supreme of Gold Attribute predicted this possibility, as he had seen firsthand how his comrade had fallen.
Though his Spiritual Power wasn’t stronger than his comrade’s, it was certainly on par, within the Divine Text Association spiritual power wasn’t disregarded.
The opponent’s Spiritual Power was evidently stronger, but how much stronger could it be? Not a Supreme of Spiritual Attribute.
He didn’t believe that after attacking the Supreme of Wood Attribute, the opponent’s Spiritual Power could overpower his own.
He prepared to endure the attack, silently resolving to overcome it without impeding his micro operations.
As long as he defended successfully, the series of Heart-Piercing Arrows would strike the opponent, not believing they couldn’t pierce the defenses.
Sure enough, when the Spiritual Attack arrived, although extremely fierce, it was manageable.
The Supreme of Gold Attribute’s brain shook violently, truly splitting with pain.
If caught off guard, such a blow would deform his Finger Technique, but with readiness, it made a difference.
To launch the Heart-Piercing Arrow didn’t require many gestures initially, but coordinating a series needed gestures.
The Supreme of Gold Attribute persisted against the discomfort, steadily continuing the Finger Technique.
Then he joyfully observed that the opponent’s mouth was also bleeding slightly, clearly suffering backlash.
"But this guy’s Spiritual Power is already impressive, upon capture, his cultivation method must be interrogated."
Yet immediately, the Supreme discovered, with surprise, that the opponent’s body flickered, evading a series of Heart-Piercing Arrows.
What a bizarre angle and Body Technique!
"Could this be Electromagnetic Body Technique? If you said Wind Attribute Body Technique, I might believe a bit, well, upon capture there’ll be another gain!"
The opponent narrowly escaped the pursuit of Heart-Piercing Arrows, but it didn’t matter, drawing an arc to chase back.
His micro operation ability remained quite strong!
Yet immediately another Spiritual Attack landed on his head, almost deforming his gestures.
"This intense?" he glanced sideways, sure enough, the opponent’s other mouth corner was bleeding.
"No, we have to be careful now, this guy is a tough character."
He went for it too, the Heart-Piercing Arrow drew a tiny arc and shot towards the opponent again.
This unconventional curve consumed quite a bit of his Inner Breath, but the opponent was too fierce; he had to exert his strength to take them down quickly.
The reason he made this decision wasn’t just because the enemy’s Supreme power was formidable, but he also noticed... his own warship seemed to be compromised.
That small attack ship relied on its powerful maneuverability and speed, circling around his warship.
This left him quite puzzled; how could a Company Level warship be unable to defeat a small attack ship?
Even if the opponent’s combat personnel were of high quality, his own crew was not inferior.
These people were brought from the Imperial, they were Guards from the Divine Text Association, elite of the Military.
Even the warship’s crew from the base couldn’t compare to them.
Generally, a Supreme coming from Central City can only bring in local or Gorge military crew, and it’s hard to get personnel from the base.
But the Divine Text Association is an exception, they come with their own warship and crew.
So the opponent’s origin is quite questionable, could someone of this caliber be trained on Garbage Star?
What he didn’t realize was that Little Lake was already holding back, knowing their boss was fine, it didn’t want to appear too unconventional.
The next moment, the Gold Attribute Supreme was astonished to find the opponent Supreme performing Finger Technique, unleashing a shower of golden needles.
He immediately understood what the enemy intended and sneered: "You want to weaken the convergence of the Gold Attribute?"
"Don’t underestimate me; do you know what the Divine Text Association does?"
If it’s comparing Body Technique or Spiritual Power, he admits he’s lacking, but in terms of attribute micro-operation and convergence... you’re way behind!
However, as soon as he developed a slight disdain, the third Spiritual Attack came on the heels.
This time, he really didn’t defend it; enduring two already wasn’t easy, and this was his capability.
Moreover, he truly didn’t expect the opponent to desperately unleash such an attack.
This strike would surely have a serious impact on him, but the problem was the opponent should be unable to even use Body Technique.
At that time, even if he gave up micro-operating the Heart-Piercing Arrow, the opponent couldn’t evade.
Sure enough, the third strike arrived, but this time the force was much weaker.
The Gold Attribute Supreme was overjoyed: "See? Playing recklessly is prone to self-harm, isn’t it?"
The Finger Technique in his hand was somewhat misaligned, but it didn’t matter; the opponent was already like this, definitely unable to use Body Technique.
"I wonder how many transparent holes this series of Heart-Piercing Arrows can create?"
Before acquiring what he needed, he hadn’t thought of eliminating the opponent, but he believed this minor wound wouldn’t kill them.
Only, the Gold Attribute Supreme’s eyesight was somewhat blurred due to the Spiritual Attack, and his Perception declined a bit.
At this moment, the Wood Attribute Supreme on the ground shouted, "Watch out!"
Actually, the Gold Attribute also noticed that the figure quickly flashed again, causing the series of Heart-Piercing Arrows to completely miss.
Although the Heart-Piercing Arrow has strong tracking ability, with prior assimilation and subsequent Spiritual Attack, he truly couldn’t control it precisely.
But the most shocking thing to the Gold Attribute Supreme was the opponent’s tactical and technical level.
He couldn’t determine if the third Spiritual Attack was held back, but he could confirm it was part of the opponent’s plan.
At least after unleashing the Spiritual Attack, the opponent could flexibly use Inner Breath to employ an eerie Body Technique.
However, this time, the opponent’s Body Technique was unbelievably fast; it didn’t seem like Wind Attribute, but rather had a hint of Electromagnetic Body Technique.
Qu Jianlei flashed to one side, raised his hand to perform Finger Technique, and a two-meter-long golden gear appeared out of thin air, spinning as it flew towards the opponent.
"Golden Wheel Skill?" The Gold Attribute Supreme was shocked.
But this time, he didn’t evade. Instead, he raised his hand and pointed forward, another Instant Technique, "Golden Shield, Golden Shield..."
Being Supreme, instant techniques aren’t difficult, but that’s when crushing low-tier Awakened.
Fighting against Awakened with the same Cultivation Level, and still daring to use instant techniques, is absolute confidence in one’s Techniques.
This person, as expected from the Divine Text Association, could exert two instant techniques against peers, which is truly rare.
It’s not that he didn’t want to dodge; it’s just that his Body Technique wasn’t as good as the opponent’s, and their micro-operation ability should also be solid.
Since he couldn’t dodge, he might as well brace himself; he only had these two instant techniques confident in blocking Supreme’s Techniques.
In fact, he even wanted to compare with the opponent whose Cultivation Level is deeper!
Supreme can live for three hundred years, quite long but also very brief.
In a limited lifetime, there’s too much to contemplate; various Magic Doors can’t be comprehensively mastered.
The opponent already excels in Body Technique and Spiritual Power, presumably spending a lot of time on them.
Especially in terms of Spiritual Power, to improve a little requires great effort.
He simply didn’t believe the opponent’s Cultivation Level could be so formidable!
