Chapter 101 Star Region Tournament, Game 2 (10)
“BOOM—BOOM—BOOM—!”
Continuous streams of crimson artillery fire were fired, and the golden and blue shields collided, with the intensity of the bombardment becoming stronger each time.
The positions of both sides' starships were changing rapidly.
The crimson starship's main and secondary gun barrels rotated accordingly. Red fire struck the silver starship's engines, tail fins, side panels, and even the cockpit...
Wherever the artillery fire fell, a golden-blue shield would appear and block the attack.
Mingyu's mental power hit the target with great force. His extremely sharp mental power played a role, accurately capturing the opponent's attack line.
The silver starship advanced at high speed amidst intense artillery fire. Because it had to quickly enter the docking port and its target was too obvious, every change of movement was captured by Gao Siqi.
However, every attack by Gao Siqi was seen through by Mingyu and blocked by the shield.
“Sizzle—”
Deep red energy threads gradually remained on the golden-blue shield and seeped into the shield.
The distance between the two starships is rapidly closing.
The silver starship suddenly turned, trying to bypass the Crimson Warrior and approach the space station docking port behind it.
However, Gao Siqi's reaction was very quick. The starship instantly rotated the muzzle and fired continuously at the silver starship.
"This was probably the most intense battle Wucailan had ever experienced!" the commentator Rabbit exclaimed. "In order to deal with the Crimson Warrior's attack, Wucailan didn't even have time to actively fire—"
"You can't get through." Mu Baixing said coldly, "Unless you destroy the other starship."
"Their bursts of fire are incredible!" Redhead yelled. "Twenty shots in a row! Each one packs more energy than the last! Twenty-one, twenty-two—"
The light on the golden-blue shield flickered, lighting up and extinguishing with each powerful impact.
Mu Boxing pulled the operating button, and the silver starship suddenly changed direction at high speed, turning diagonally backward.
"Colorful is closing the distance!" Rabbit's commentator shouted. "The closer they get to the Crimson Warrior, the less energy will escape from the Gausschi main gun, and the greater the pressure on Colorful!"
"A very smart choice! By creating distance to avoid this combo of attacks—"
"Let's see how many bursts they have!" Mingyu shouted, "We'll wait until they've used up all their bursts before turning back!"
Plush Bunny: "But the Crimson Warrior's barrage of fire isn't so easy to block!"
"Thirty-one, thirty-two—"
The red light from the black cannonball grew brighter, and each blow from the crimson warrior was more powerful and devastating than the last.
The golden-blue shield was covered with deep red threads of mental force scattered after the energy collision.
Gao Siqi narrowed his eyes slightly and uttered a soft sigh, "You're quite capable."
"But don't think you can just get through it like this."
Her mental strength is very high.
With A+ level awakened mental power and S level mental strength, he was originally a good candidate to become a starship pilot.
However, her awakened spiritual power trait is "sensitivity" which is of no help to her as a driver.
Her excessive sensitivity made everything in the universe appear white to her.
When she was little, her parents had advised her countless times to give up space travel and turn to something where sensitive mental abilities could be put to good use, like a mental surgeon...
Gao Siqi didn't think this kind of work had anything to do with him.
She spent decades learning to control the sensitivity of her mental power, and learned to block all her mental vision when navigating in the universe, becoming a complete "blind" in terms of mental power, in exchange for the pleasure of driving a starship and firing cannons.
She simply relied on her observation hand more than most pilots.
This small shortcoming was enough to be compensated by her day-to-day training and her outstanding mental control skills.
Through such daily practice, the accuracy of her mental control has been trained to a level that ordinary drivers cannot reach.
"They went left, Siqi!"
Lando, the short-haired observer who has been working with Gao Siqi for many years, shouted loudly. At the same time, the crimson light cannon blasted out and hit the colorful starship again, but was once again blocked by the golden and blue shield.
"boom!"
Red Hair: "Fiftieth Cannon! How come they still have more!"
Mingyu leaned tightly against the driver's seat, feeling dizzy from the violent energy impact.
"You're not stopping yet?!" he shouted. "Are you trying to bomb us into a crash?!"
Plush Rabbit: "What should I do! Colorful! I won't get a chance to fight back if this goes on!"
In just a few minutes, nearly a hundred red flowers bloomed one after another around the silver starship, as if to submerge the silver starship in a rain of flowers.
Red-haired held onto the seat fastener tightly, nervously watching the distance between his starship and the space station docking port.
His detector monitoring screen had already issued a shrill alarm. As the intermittent mental threads of the surrounding crimson artillery fire accumulated more and more, the instrument detection screen was already filled with large spots of noise.
"I don't think we can make it through by just defending!" Red yelled, "We can't even get close to the space station docking port like this—"
As if to verify his words, the crimson starship began to accelerate forward, actively closing the distance with the colorful star.
"All guns have a maximum burst limit." Ming Yu was sweating profusely, but his cool voice contained no fear, only fighting spirit. "With this method of firing, their main guns will be useless after this round! They're betting that we can't withstand this round of attack..."
"...But if it crashes like this...it would be such a shame!"
As he finished speaking, the bright blue five-pointed star in the center of the shield suddenly lit up. A thin blue beam suddenly shot out from the center of the shield, colliding with the wide crimson beam cannon.
It was like a thin needle inserted into the light cannon, draining the originally solid crimson from the inside out.
However, Gao Siqi's mental power density was too high. Before Mingyu had completely absorbed the opponent's mental power, the crimson mental power cannon had already fallen towards the outer layer of the silver starship.
The golden shield appeared as promised and collided with the hollow crimson ring.
Rabbit explained: "Oh! This time it was Mu Baixing who blocked Minister Gao's attack alone! And LUCE's Devouring Cannon is still moving forward--!"
In an instant, Mingyu's mental power had penetrated the crimson light cannon.
"Luce seems to want to detonate the main gun barrel of the Crimson Warrior!——"
The main gun barrel, which was flashing red light, was filled with dense energy. A large amount of mental power and energy filaments gathered in the concentrator deep in the barrel, just like nutrients specially stacked in it for attack, swallowing and explosion.
Ming Yu's exclusive acceleration barrel, designed to best suit his own mental power, abandoned the need to concentrate and amplify the intensity of his mental energy, propelling the bright blue mental beam cannon forward rapidly. The layers of accelerated mental force threads reached astonishing speeds, but the agility of a large starship was limited. Even the most swift-witted pilot would have been unable to control the starship... or even steer the barrel to avoid it!
"Here comes Siqi!——" Observer Lando shouted, "It's LUCE's Devouring Explosion Cannon!"
Gao Siqi's fingers moved on the operating panel and he suddenly pressed the energy blocking button.
The mental force and energy box energy flow lines supplying the main gun barrel were suddenly closed. At the same time, a slight sound was heard from inside the dark black gun barrel.
A jagged barrier spiraled up from the barrel, closing inwards and tightly connecting. Like a suddenly closing flower bud, the black barrel shut out Mingyu's mental power.
Bang.
A bright blue beam of mental force hit the barrier inside the barrel.
"Ohhhh—Minister Gao and the others were clearly prepared for LUCE's Devouring Explosion!" the plush rabbit yelled, "But LUCE didn't give up!"
Mingyu was breathing rapidly, concentrating on controlling his mental power.
Even though he didn't have the energy source deep enough to absorb it, he had already absorbed enough energy from the bright blue light cannon as it struck him.
The energy consumed and compressed by Mingyu was rapidly released, exploding in front of him, triggering a series of outward energy waves. Amidst the series of explosions, large spider-web-like cracks appeared within the black barrel.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Shield after shield was placed inside the Crimson Warrior's main gun muzzle, protecting the innermost energy launch core. However, under Ming Yu's indiscriminate bombardment, the front end of the black gun barrel was not spared.
Flakes of black metal were blasted outward from the barrel, scattering across the universe. As Mingyu launched his attack and Gao Siqi closed his barrel to evade, the main gun barrel on the silver starship's bridge lit up again.
Rabbit explained: "It's Mu Baixing!——"
"The colorful one uses a multi-layer main gun barrel structure!——"
"Oh my dear audience! Let me zoom in on the main gun barrel structure of this starship! Look at the shape of the muzzle! The strip-shaped main gun barrel structure that LUCE and Mu Boxing are using now is not the same as the muzzle they used when they were resonating with their mental power just now!——"
"Look at the area I circled! Their main gun barrels are a double-layer structure, relying on different energy buried lines and different energy manufacturing materials to achieve completely different purposes!"
"Obviously! The barrel used for firing during energy resonance is made of an extremely rare, high-energy-tolerant metal and is equipped with a powerful energy amplifier. And the barrel Lucé is currently using is the high-speed barrel he designed in the previous Star Domain match, suitable for firing the Devouring Explosive Cannon."
"But LUCE hasn't completely given up on the offensive nature of this layer of gun barrels! Surrounding the high-speed gun barrels are high-intensity attack gun barrels prepared for Mu Boxing!"
"I see! No wonder Luce's mental power was radiating outward from the center of the shield when he was in shield form just now!"
"While the Crimson Warrior was dealing with LUCE's explosive attack, Mu Baixing took action!——"
Golden mental power flowed out from the outside of the circular barrel and naturally gathered into a beam under the action of the guiding device.
The terrifying dark gold light followed Mingyu's devouring cannon and was shot out. The energy threads on the outer edge jumped and lit up with golden leaping flames.
"It's ignition! Let me do it! Take back your mental power!" Gao Siqi shouted concisely.
The mental net that Lando, the observer, had spread out dissipated in an instant.
"The Crimson Warrior didn't dodge!" Rabbit's commentary said excitedly, "Mu Boxing's mental cannon is just as wide and concentrated as the Crimson Warrior's! But I don't think the Crimson Warrior has a switchable function valve like the colorful one in the muzzle! After all, that's LUCE's exclusive secret! Only the colorful one can quickly switch between the free muzzle and the assault muzzle at will..."
"Is it possible that the Crimson Warrior can only withstand this one shot? I'm not bragging! Mu Boxing's mental cannon can probably directly blast the Crimson Warrior's shell apart!——"
In the cockpit, Gao Siqi was full of fighting spirit and smiled.
The outside of the main gun barrel, whose front end was blown up by Mingyu and only a short section remained, suddenly a thick and hard black bracket popped out.
The decks on both sides of the main gun also unfolded at the same time, and the auxiliary power units popped out layer by layer, connecting with the black brackets and surrounding the main gun muzzle. The pipes behind the power units emitted a blue-white energy burning glow.
All the closed protective plates inside the black barrel opened outwards, but the barrel channel was not completely opened. Liquid flowed out of the rectangular opening, completely changing the barrel's firing form.
Inside the Crimson Warrior starship, dozens of circuits that had not been activated suddenly started to roar, and the crimson mental power burned into a blazing red and white color, pouring into the light cannon.
Driven by the power device, the gun barrel, which was originally fixed on a plane and could only rotate, becomes extremely flexible.
It was like the hilt of a lightsaber held by a giant mechanical hand, gushing out a terrifying stream of heat from top to bottom under the spray of energy.
The golden artillery fire shot straight towards Mu Baixing!
