"Hello everyone, this is the Luojing Meteor Show. We're currently showing you the opening ceremony of the finals."
Riding in a flexible aircraft, a male and female host introduced the opening ceremony of the night. The footage will be recorded and then broadcast across the country for people to enjoy.
Looking down from the aircraft in the night sky, the entire Luojing is ablaze with lights. Neon light strips are spread across the roofs and buildings in the city, outlining the grand night scene. Pedestrians on the streets and the shadows of dragons flying in the sky from time to time can be seen everywhere.
The former reviewing stand has been transformed into today's competition venue. Participating teams from all over the country gather here. They wear all kinds of clothes and carry all kinds of strange-shaped equipment, some with wings, some with rotating propellers, and some as flat as boats, which is amazing.
The Meteor Contest is a national event held in recent years. The contest involves aerial combat using a device; the winner is the one who shoots down all opponents. Competition is limited to Transcendents below Sequence 5. Higher-level Transcendents who wish to participate are required to wear specialized devices that limit their strength.
All contestants can use their own modified aircraft. When the aircraft is destroyed or damaged to a certain extent, it will be judged as a failure and will fall from the sky. The aircraft has restrictions on weight, material, magic content, etc. and must not exceed the standards.
This competition aims to discover outstanding flying talents and find excellent air combat aircraft templates to prepare for future disasters.
"A year has passed since the last competition, and countless new talents have emerged in the new year. It's said that at the beginning of the year, a young man named Zhai Han from Qibaizhou won first place in the preliminary round with only a flying sword he had modified himself. He later received sponsorship from the famous Tianxuan faction and continued to win in subsequent competitions. He is considered the rising star of this finals."
"In the middle of the year, the renowned Four Crystal Leaf Workshop in Bai'erzhou released their new aircraft, the 'Ice Howling Falcon,' and invited Yu Linghe, the third-place winner of the previous year's competition, to pilot it. They were also very motivated to win the championship this time."
"However, the person currently attracting the most attention is still the previous champion, Bu Qingfeng from the Biluo Xiaoyao Palace. The 'Heavenly Sword' series aircraft he pilots has also received commendations from Xia Guansi. There are even rumors that it will be included in the dynasty's regular army after improvements, which has attracted the envy of countless factions."
…
"Okay, enough nonsense, let's focus on the center of the venue. We can see that delegations from various places have already entered. According to the procedure, a divine bird will descend from the Yellow Sea Mountain to light the brazier tonight. But which divine bird will it be? It's really exciting."
The scene turns to the east of the night sky. After the ancient bell rings three times, a small point of light begins to appear in the eastern night sky. Then it approaches rapidly, getting bigger and clearer, until it finally flies over Luojing. People are able to get a glimpse of the full picture of this huge strange bird.
Its wingspan is nearly 300 meters, and its feathers are brilliant in color, mainly black and red. Its head is like a black phoenix, and the feathers behind it are slender and spread out like a strange human face. Although it looks ferocious, this strange bird did not harm the residents of Luojing. Instead, it circled in the night sky for three circles, then slowly descended and landed in the huge brazier. Soon after, scarlet flames rose up, illuminating the night sky.
"This year's divine bird from the Yellow Sea Mountains is the Nine Phoenix Ghost Chariot. It is said that this strange bird was once enlightened by His Majesty and is also the patron saint of the Sunset Mountains. There is no need to be afraid." The host continued his explanation. Not long after, the strange bird flapped its wings and took off from the huge brazier again and disappeared into the night sky.
Amidst the brilliant flames, Officer Xia stepped to the front and announced the official opening of the Meteor Contest finals. Colorful fireworks rose from all over Luojing and then bloomed.
A day passed, and on the second night, the official competition began.
"The first to take the stage are the teams from He Xingzhou, Mu Qingzhou, and Dong Huzhou. Each of the three continents will send five people, for a total of fifteen people. Then the competition will begin until only three people are left on the field."
"Bang!"
With a clear sound, contestants from various states in the square rose into the sky in aircraft of various shapes. Among them were airship-like aircraft that looked like balls with small propellers on both sides, aircraft that were carried on the backs of the contestants and unfolded like gliders, and aircraft that were shaped like flying swallows with the whole person sitting in the cockpit.
In the night sky, these aircraft are painted with eye-catching luminous emblems, allowing the audience below to clearly see their wheels and tracks.
The battle started immediately. At the beginning, the five people in the continent naturally cooperated with each other to deal with the other two families.
For a moment, the sky was filled with neon trails. Five of the spheres quickly merged into one during the ascent, and constructed an excellent protective shield on the outer layer to prevent being attacked. Then they flew and moved in the sky and began to shoot at other opponents. The orange-red magic power turned into a high-temperature torrent, flashing across the night sky from time to time.
"Right now, it's the Donghuzhou team that's forming the entire formation. They're using the 'Barnacle II' aircraft. This aircraft excels in defense and is agile, allowing it to hover freely in the air."
On the other side of the night sky, contestant He Xingzhou, who was piloting a flying fish-shaped aircraft, was flying at high speed in the night sky, avoiding the rays that passed by. Occasionally, they were hit by the magic torrent on their fuselage, which would cause puffs of green smoke. Fortunately, their speed was extremely fast and they would not be hit for long.
On the other side, the situation of Mu Qingzhou's team was very special. They first spread the glider wings behind them, and then used fuel jets to accelerate and propel themselves, approaching the Donghuzhou team hovering in the air at an extremely fast speed. Although they suffered some damage during the process, it didn't matter. The wings behind them were originally auxiliary, and their own propulsion relied more on the accelerator behind them.
