Chapter 104 Star Region Tournament Second Game (Thirteen)
"...Transfer of mental power? Seriously? This thing really exists?!"
"So, even if I'm a weakling with only F-rank psychic power, as long as my soulmate is an A-rank or higher tyrant with special psychic abilities, I can also gain their psychic abilities and reach the pinnacle of my life?!"
"Upstairs, it's not even dark yet, what are you dreaming about here?!"
"Dream on, take me with you! I have A-level psychic power, but no special psychic properties. Watching them fight and using all sorts of moves has always made me want to have cool psychic properties like LUCE or Mu Baixing! I'm sincerely looking for someone with special psychic properties to resonate with me. Help me achieve my dream!"
"Add me in! Where is my destined one?"
"...You're both the destined one and the soulmate. This wouldn't even be suitable for a romance novel!"
"So the question is, Luce and Mu Boxing...are they the protagonists of a romance novel?"
“…Isn’t it possible?”
"Regardless of whether they're in a relationship or not, I really want to see their faces! I really want to know how they interact with each other in real life! Seeing how well they work together in the competition, their interactions in real life must be very loving, right?"
"No, I'm going off on a tangent. Don't you think this kind of psychic power transfer is terrifying?! Lucé and Mu Boxing each only have one psychic power... but theoretically, an A-level psychic can awaken at most one interest, and S to 3S-level psychics can awaken at most three properties... If two S to 3S-level psychics resonate with each other's power... each of them would have six properties. Wouldn't that be incredible?!"
"Finally, I met someone who thinks like me."
"Alas, after all these years, the only couple that has achieved perfect spiritual resonance is Luce and Mu Baixing. I doubt we'll ever see the grand spectacle of six natures coexisting!"
Unlike the audience in the comment section, in the team lounge of other star field teams such as Killer and Qiehua, the team members quickly regained their senses after a brief shock. They did not imagine whether their strength would be doubled and they would be able to kill gods and Buddhas if they found someone with spiritual resonance in the future. Instead, they all gathered in a circle with great seriousness, and the pressure on them doubled.
Initially, the resonance between Luce and Mu Boxing's psychic powers had already made them feel a great sense of danger. However, because psychic resonance had a time limit and could not be reused within a short period of time, the threat it posed was not too great.
But the transmission of spiritual power...
You know, just the mental strength of LUCE and Mu Boxing alone is already very difficult to deal with!
After watching the last Star Domain match, they specifically researched ways to deal with LUCE's devouring explosion. One of the methods was to take advantage of the fact that LUCE's observer's mental strength was insufficient, and fire a highly concentrated mental cannon to quickly break up the opponent's mental threads the moment they came into contact.
The second method was to evade briefly, completely withdrawing the mental threads and artillery energy. Without an energy source capable of detonating, the sheer strength of Luce's mental power wouldn't damage the starship's hull.
The choice of these two methods depends on the situation and whether Mu Baixing will assist LUCE's swallowing explosion.
Before this game, they all thought that although LCUE's Devouring Explosion was effective, it was not unbreakable.
As for Mu Boxing's Ignition ability...since Mu Boxing had only used it in the third qualifying match, after his mental power had significantly increased, they all agreed that it couldn't be used as a regular attack method. And just like mental resonance, mental bursts couldn't be used frequently, and since it killed a thousand enemies but injured eight hundred of his own, it was a one-time-use tactic, so there was no need to worry too much.
The final of the Star Navigation Competition is definitely not a place where victory or defeat can be decided by a single blow.
Even if they were trained to use their Ignition ability at any time, they might not be able to concentrate their mental power to such a terrifying degree as Gao Siqi. But at least they could retract all their mental power threads like Lando and lay an inert energy layer on the starship's hull to evade the attack.
However, in the previous match, LUCE also possessed the Ignite trait, while Mu Baixing possessed the Devour.
As an observer, LUCE's mental power was far greater than Mu Boxing's. During a starship battle, in order to understand the other side's movements, the mental threads of both observers inevitably overlapped. This was different from Mu Boxing's mental cannon firing near his own starship, igniting energy!
The mental cannon will only stay near their own starship for a brief moment, but LUCE's mental power will be spread out for a long time... If they want to retract their mental power threads, they will lose the colorful movements of the starship for a long time.
Mu Boxing's mental strength is even stronger, making him difficult to break apart during a firefight! His Devouring Explosion will be even more difficult to deal with than Luce's!
What’s even more troublesome is that no one knows what kind of characteristics the enemy will use when they fire their artillery!
A long silence hung over the lounges of each team.
"Think again, think again, there's still time." The team members murmured to themselves, "Fortunately there's still time, fortunately we're not the team from the Central Star Region..."
The participating teams from the Central Star Region were obviously still unaware of this bad news.
In the competition star map, the colorful silver starship completed the information transmission to Space Station No. 4 and quickly headed towards their final target.
The starship circled a large gas planet, and Mingyu's mental power was the first to see the flash of light on the path ahead.
"There are people ahead!" Red Hair vaguely saw energy fluctuations above the detector. "Is there a fight going on?"
"That duck-shaped starship... is it the Duck Team? The other starship's psychic cannon is red and white..."
"It's Duck Duck Chong Chong and Red, White, and Rose!" the commentator called out. He quickly flipped through the match footage and explained to the audience, "Just half a minute ago, Duck Duck Chong Chong and Red, White, and Rose collided on the route! The two teams had each completed the transmission of information between two space stations, and neither had crashed. Red, White, and Rose attacked first after spotting Duck Duck Chong Chong's starship, believing they could quickly defeat their opponent!"
"Duck Duck Chong Chong is indeed at a disadvantage!"
"The Red and White Roses have two pilots. One is responsible for high-intensity main gun fire, while the other uses his disruptive psychic ability to fire jammers from the secondary guns, distorting the energy trajectory of the enemy's artillery fire and psychic power... Oh! They've already seen a rainbow!"
"Is the Colorful Fleet about to take action? The Silver Starfleet doesn't seem to want to get involved in this battle. After all, they're already way ahead. They don't need to snipe the opponent, they just need to complete their own goals... But Yaya Chongchong and Red, White and Rose have stopped!"
"Although our team's players didn't synchronize their mission progress in their cockpits, they clearly considered Colorful to be a formidable threat. Colorful's appearance caused YaYaChongChong and Red, White and Rose to reconcile, and they decided to jointly snipe Colorful first!"
"Oh—a bold decision—the Red and White Roses focused their secondary guns, and the White Roses' jammers fired!—Colorful decided to take a detour, but the Red and White Roses' jammers' range was clearly much wider than in the previous match—"
A wide stream of silver artillery fire spread outward from the lower secondary gun muzzles of the red and white painted starship.
Mingyu looked alert.
Just like other teams would watch their game videos, Mingyu and his team also studied the game videos of all the teams that entered the second game of the Star Domain Tournament one by one.
As the team that entered the second round of the Star Domain Tournament with a fourth-place finish, the Red and White Roses were of course on their key focus list.
The jamming cannon is one of the Red and White Roses' trump cards.
The enemy's artillery fire would interfere with the enemy starship's firepower, and would also interfere with everything the enemy starship's observers saw through their psychic vision. At the same time, the special psychic wavelength caused all electronic equipment on the starship to malfunction, forcing the enemy starship to rely solely on its distorted psychic senses to fight.
The moment he saw the red and white roses, Mu Baixing changed course. Logically, they should be able to avoid the enemy's jammer range, and Mingyu's mental vision confirmed this.
However, the next second, a tremor came from the hull of the starship.
"Hit!" Red Rose, who was in charge of the main gun in the Red and White Rose's cab, shouted, "We hit the colorful one!"
"We don't know the extent of the damage to the starship!" Red Hair shouted in the cockpit, "The alarm system hasn't responded! The sensor system has failed!"
"Power is weakening." Mu Boxing pushed the engine levers forward and said calmly, "The lift engine must have been hit. The starship can no longer be lifted or lowered normally."
"The Colorful's lift engine has sustained ninety percent damage and is now extinguished!" A plush rabbit reported in real time from the livestream. "The energy tank above the engine has also been attacked and is leaking. I think Mu Boxing and LUCED can sense the starship's loss of control... Yaya Chongchong added fuel to the fire of the Red, White, and Rose attack! They fired their scattershot cannons, but Colorful lit up its shield!"
A golden-blue mental shield lit up in space.
The large shields connected together, which should have tightly wrapped the outer layer of the starship. However, at this moment, the mental shield emitted from the main gun barrel seemed to have undergone some kind of distortion in space, bending down or tilting up in strange postures, leaving large gaps around the starship.
Orange-red artillery fire penetrated the cracks and continuously struck the silver starship's hull, completely submerging it. On the Plush Bunny's live broadcast screen, the colorful starship's damage was rapidly increasing.
"Twenty percent—thirty percent—fifty percent—"
"Under the bombardment of Ya Ya Chong Chong and Red and White Rose, the Colorful Starship has lost a third of its engine systems and nearly half of its energy storage tanks. Their main and secondary guns have not been damaged for the time being, but they clearly dare not fire. Under the distortion of the jammers, the mental cannons fired might even hit the hull of their own starship..."
The rabbit commentator stared intently at the scene on the star map. "A miraculous psychic trait," he said. "Will the colorful creature that just stormed through six space stations and defeated six gatekeepers crash under the siege of Red, White Rose and Duck Duck?!"
"They don't dare to fire, nor do they dare to move. Could it be that the colorful ones... have given up resistance?!"
"Indeed." The plush rabbit scratched its head and analyzed to the camera, "Even if Colorful crashed here, it will reappear in Space Station 4. They only have Space Station 1 left to transmit information, so there's still time."
"Also, in this competition, each team has two repair opportunities. Even if they crash now, as long as they don't get shot down again during the final transmission, they will still advance to the finals in the top three, or even first place."
"But this doesn't look like a colorful style." White Elephant whispered in the Killer Team lounge.
"Colorful... This is not a team that will sit still and wait for death."
