554 – Battling A Phantom space fighter

TL : GoldenLung

Hence, when he realized that Lan Xuanyu was moving at full speed, this phantom space fighter’s pilot did not hesitate to push his space fighter to its limits.

Both parties charged towards each other at the highest speed.

Lan Xuanyu became extremely calm at this moment.
After his spiritual power doubled thanks to Beast God Di Tian, his perception had undergone a complete change.

He had always known the importance and benefits of spiritual sower to soul masters, but after this sudden increase, he truly understood how important spiritual power was.
Whether it was cultivating soul sower, bloodline power, controlling his soul skills or piloting a space fighter like this, spiritual power would provide him with immense help.

His powerful spiritual power allowed him to sense every minute change in his space fighter, and he could also sense the changes in his enemy’s.
It allowed him to react at the most crucial moment.

When both space fighters charged towards each other at full speed, they could already feel the threat from the other party.

The two space fighters kept moving slightly, trying their best to avoid the soul rays that the other party was shooting at them.
At the same time, they were also shooting soul rays, trying their best to predict the other party’s direction.

They were all pilots of the same rank, so they were quite good at making judgments in this aspect.
At this moment, brain power and good intuition became extremely important.

Very soon, the phantom space fighter pilot realized that he was being suppressed.
His phantom space fighter had clearly been hit by soul rays more times than the other party.
What did this mean? It meant that the other party was stronger than him.
Could it be that his opponent was ranked among the top 5,000 or even 3,000 ? Why would he appear in such a peripheral area?

This phantom space fighter pilot was ranked at around 8,000.
In addition to the phantom space fighter that he had bought with a large amount of soul coins, his recent achievements were quite good.
He didn’t expect that his sneak attack just now would bump into an iron plate.

Lan Xuanyu was actually quite surprised himself.
Since his return, he didn’t yet have the time to pilot a space fighter.
When he was learning from his teacher, he was always practicing mecha piloting.

According to Tang Zhenhua, his level in space fighter piloting had reached a bottleneck.
After reaching this bottleneck, if he wanted to improve, he would have to accumulate more experience and gradually integrate the characteristics of his Martial Soul and spiritual power into space fighter piloting.

Tang Zhenhua had told Lan Xuanyu before that among the top 1,000 space fighter pilots, there wasn’t a single one whose cultivation was lower than six-ring, only stronger.
There were even some pilots who would wear their Battle Armor to increase their piloting skills.
Under the premise that the space fighter was able to withstand the pressure, they were able to perform many inhuman maneuvers.

Hence, Lan Xuanyu’s weekly schedule for space fighter piloting had been reduced by a lot.
He had more time to pilot a mecha and familiarize himself with it.

He didn’t expect that after an increase in his spiritual power, it would actually increase his piloting skills by so much.
At this moment, piloting the space fighter felt as though he had completely merged with it.
Even his opponent’s attacks seemed to have slowed down.

Seeing that both space fighters were about to collide, the phantom space fighter pilot made his choice.

He pulled his space fighter horizontally and instantly deviated from his original trajectory.
His speed was in an overload state as he charged to the side and activated invisibility mode.

That’s right, he got afraid.
He didn’t want to fight with Lan Xuanyu anymore because he could clearly feel that he was going to lose! Losing such a battle meant that his points would decrease, and this wasn’t something he wanted to see.

Both parties were charging at full speed.
Under such circumstances, it was very difficult to turn around and change directions, so if he chose to escape, his chances were still very high.

The two space fighters passed by each other almost at the same time.
The phantom space fighter charged far away and was about to turn invisible.

However, Lan Xuanyu had already sensed the other party’s intention the moment both parties were about to cross paths.
All the soul cannons in his warship were instantly charged to the maximum.

The soul space fighter continued to charge forward at full speed, but it also deviated from its original trajectory and drew a huge arc in the sky.
If one were to observe from space, they would realize that Lan Xuanyu’s soul space fighter’s main cannon and the four secondary cannons had become brighter.
This was a sign that they were fully charged.

The other party’s soul space fighter had naturally been observing him and could feel the energy gathering on his side.
But he heaved a sigh of relief because his space fighter was already invisible at this time.
Although Lan Xuanyu’s space fighter was flying in an arc and rushing back as fast as possible, both parties had already pulled apart and were unable to get close to each other as they couldn’t detect each other.
If they were unable to get close, they would not be able to see through his soul space fighter’s invisibility.

The phantom space fighter was not only proficient in sneak attacks, but it was also proficient in escaping battles.
However, to this pilot, his heart ached.
Being invisible once required quite a bit of energy.
After that, he would have to use soul coins to charge!

But right at this moment, his innate sense of danger caused all the hairs on his body to stand on end.
He subconsciously looked to the side and saw a strong light flying towards him.
It was heading in his direction.

He frantically tried to dodge, but that moment of relaxation had caused his control to slow down.

His space fighter was already doing its best to roll, but that strong light exploded right next to him.

The main cannon of a space fighter would usually not be fired easily because it consumed too much energy.
But without a doubt, it was also the most powerful.

Amidst the intense rumbling, the phantom space fighter seemed to have been blasted out of thin air and its protective cover shattered.
In the next moment, what welcomed it was the baptism of multiple soul rays.

30 seconds later, after using all of its abilities to dodge, the phantom space fighter finally turned into a ball of flames and exploded.

Until his soul space fighter exploded, he still didn’t understand why the other party’s judgment was so accurate.
He couldn’t see or lock onto him, but his main cannon was actually able to hit him blindly.
This was simply unbelievable.
Three thousand, this was definitely the strength of someone ranked among the top three thousand!

Was Lan Xuanyu really as strong as the top 3,000 ? The answer was definitely no.
But this didn’t affect his attack just now.
It was just a split second of feeling, and he had launched his attack according to what he felt.
He had a rough estimate of the area and a sense of direction.
It was as if he had a pair of invisible eyes that could track his opponent very clearly.

And after that successful attack, the other party was at a complete disadvantage.
No matter how much they tried to dodge, they were unable to escape his pursuit.
After all, there were only two space fighters in this area.

Destroying the other party consumed quite a bit of his space fighter’s energy.
Lan Xuanyu heaved a sigh of relief and quickly chose to return.

Upon returning to the base, all sorts of data appeared on the screen.
It was basically a description of the previous battle.

“Destroyed the enemy’s space fighter, rank 8961, rank increased to 9403.”

If he wanted to increase his ranking in this space battlefield, the best way was to defeat an opponent that was stronger than him.
The system would calculate his points based on his performance in this battle, and the accumulated points would naturally change his ranking.

He actually destroyed a warship that was ranked in the top 9,000 ! This was an obvious improvement.
Lan Xuanyu could feel that he had entered a new realm in space fighter piloting.
This should be the benefit of his increase in spiritual power.
