"Could it be that everyone in the First Men's Military Academy knows this move? Or perhaps this move was created by Qiao Ting in the first place? Just that the person in front of him used it first? "In the audience, some people began to let their imaginations run wild, considering this possibility. They found that their guesses were very likely to be the truth. After all, Qiao Ting was the number one in the military academy, and was also known as the second Ling Xiao super prodigy. His creation of this new technique was much more convincing than that unknown youth's.
Of course, they did not come to a conclusion just yet. Their guesses were all based on the premise that Qiao Ting's shooting would succeed while running.
When the distance between the two of them had once again increased to the required distance for fixed-point shooting, Qiao Ting once again operated his mecha to turn around rapidly. This series of maneuvers was almost identical to Ling Lan's movements in the previous match …
The flawless maneuvers made the audience gasp in admiration, and at the same time, the top-class mecha operators nodded their heads in approval.
Even one of the two imperial operators monitoring the match from high up in the air could not help but praise, "This kid is pretty good. He's practically copying the movements of the previous person without making a mistake."
"He's not bad. The title of second Ling Xiao is something he can live up to." The other person seemed to be a little more critical of Qiao Ting, his tone very calm.
His companion's words surprised the imperial operator who had spoken at the beginning. "Ah, so it's him." General Ling Xiao was renowned throughout the Federation. Ever since he had returned and found out that the Federation had such an amazingly talented god-class operator, he had been very impressed. "Speaking of General Ling Xiao, I heard that there's no technique he doesn't know. They say he's an all-rounder."
The imperial operator's words stunned his companion. "You … don't you know that General Ling Xiao's innate talent is duplication?" In the Federation, this was practically an open secret.
That imperial operator heard this and said somewhat awkwardly, "You've forgotten where I'm from."
His companion was enlightened. Remembering the other's background, he said sheepishly, "Sorry, I've forgotten you're from the Lawless Lands."
The Lawless Lands was a no-man's land at the edge of humanity's star system. It was tens of millions of light years away from the Federation. The resources there were extremely poor, and the climate was extremely harsh. It was even worse than the fourth-class planets labelled by the Federation as the worst living conditions for humans. Without a certain level of ability, it was impossible to survive there.
The Lawless Lands was a sinful land. Other than a few natives, the rest of the people were war criminals and fugitives from various countries.
In the Lawless Lands, there were wars all year round. Different factions were at odds with each other, fighting for their own territory. Over there, ace operators were as common as dogs. Those who weren't ace operators wouldn't be able to survive. Only imperial operators could live like humans and occupy a place for themselves.
The Lawless Lawless Lawless Dlawless Was, The Lawless Lands's. They The Lands The Lawless Lands's Lands The Lands' Lawless Lands Their That is, the Lawless Lawless Lands. Of course, they could also choose to remain in the Lawless Lands (The Lawless Lands' Lands Most Lawless Lands Their Lands) and become a feudal lord.
That imperial operator had originally been a fugitive from the Federation. After he had advanced to imperial level, he had chosen to return to the Federation and become a member of the military's deterrent force to the outside world. However, when he had fled to the Lawless Lands, Ling Xiao had not yet been born. The Lawless Lands had always been under lockdown by the various human countries. Over there, there was no way to learn anything about Ling Xiao. The imperial operator had only heard about General Ling Xiao's deeds after he had come to the Federation. Thus, there were some public secrets that he did not know.
His companion's apology made the imperial operator's awkwardness disappear. He continued to say, "Innate talent Duplication is very heaven-defying! With this innate talent, does it mean that you only need to see it once to successfully duplicate the opponent's technique? "
"Yes, you can say that. That's why everyone says that he knows all the techniques. Even if he doesn't know them, he can learn them just by watching others do it once," said his companion enviously.
It should be known that if a normal mecha operator wanted to obtain an advanced technique, they would need to train hard for several years before they could master it and make it their own. However, Ling Xiao's innate talent was like a cheat, greatly reducing this training time. As long as Ling Xiao wanted it, he could just watch it once. What was even more frightening was that most existing mecha techniques could be found in the virtual world. Thus, as long as Ling Xiao wanted it, there really was no technique that he could not get.
Of course, this did not exclude the fact that some reclusive family clans and sects had hidden techniques. These techniques would definitely not be found in the virtual world, but remember not to display them in front of General Ling Xiao. Otherwise, these top-secret techniques that represented the clans and sects would become General Ling Xiao's.
"Perhaps this is also why General Ling Xiao was able to advance to god-class," said the imperial operator of the Lawless Lands with equal envy. At their level, they already knew what their limits were. As imperial operators, they had already exhausted all their potential and would remain imperial operators for the rest of their lives. It had to be said that they were not fated to become god-class operators. This was their regret.
The two of them only chatted idly for a while before they were quickly drawn to Qiao Ting's unusual behaviour.
As Qiao Ting flew, he adjusted the direction of his shot several times. Just when everyone thought that he would shoot, he did not move, enduring it. From the time he had turned around until now, it had already been more than three minutes. Meanwhile, Ling Lan had only used one minute to turn around and shoot. Without a doubt, Qiao Ting's time had already surpassed Ling Lan's by double …
Qiao Ting's gaze was fixed on the opponent in the crosshair. He seemed to see another chance to shoot … his fingers twitched involuntarily, but in the end, he still relaxed his fingers and endured it, once again choosing to give up.
He clearly felt that this was an opportunity, but he did not have the courage to pull this shot. This was because he was not 100% confident — no, he was not even 50% confident. Otherwise, if the probability was more than 50%, he would have been willing to take the gamble. Only now did he know that he had still underestimated this seemingly simple running fixed-point shooting …
"Should I give up?" Sweat began to roll down Qiao Ting's forehead, following the lines between his brows and the corners of his eyes, dripping down the side of his nose … he, who had always been confident, began to doubt himself for the first time. Could he really recreate that move of Ling Lan's? Perhaps he should have used more stable gun skills to complete the kill this time.
"No, I can't give up! Once I give up, it means I've admitted defeat to Ling Lan! "Another voice in Qiao Ting's mind unwillingly jumped out to stop him.
"If you can't complete that move, you'll still lose to Ling Lan!" Reason once again calmly stated the facts. "In that case, you might as well do what you need to do."
"Are we just going to let it go like this?" Qiao Ting was extremely unwilling to give up.
"It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge even after ten years. Besides, the real battle with Ling Lan is one year later. Why are you in such a hurry to suppress the other? Jealousy won't help you improve … "Reason once again won the upper hand. Qiao Ting's gaze hardened as he made a decision in his heart.
"The time is almost 4 minutes. Compared to his teammate, he's already used more than 3 minutes. Looks like that running fixed-point shooting move is going to be difficult for him." Qiao Ting's abnormality naturally did not escape the notice of the two imperial operators in the air. The imperial operator from the Lawless Lands could not help but laugh.
"He's still a little too young and impetuous, thinking that his control skills are not weaker than the other's and so arrogantly wanting to copy the other's ultimate move. Unfortunately … this ultimate move is not something that can be learned with just one look. Even if you know all the data and control methods, to perfectly execute it, you'll still need a lot of practice." His companion shook his head and sighed. Qiao Ting's talent in mecha piloting was indeed outstanding, but that alone was not enough. Who knew if this Qiao Ting would come to his senses? Hopefully, he would not embarrass himself by being called the second Ling Xiao.
"There's only one General Ling Xiao!" added the imperial operator from the Lawless Lands. Similarly, he too was not optimistic about Qiao Ting's choice.
Qiao Ting's hesitation was quickly discovered by the audience. They began to discuss animatedly. Some of them had originally thought that the running fixed-point shooting move would be Qiao Ting's innovation, but at this moment, they decisively discarded that notion. Right now, they were no longer concerned about the final outcome. What they wanted to know was whether Qiao Ting would fire that shot in the end, and whether that shot would be successful.
Qiao Ting had always been a decisive person — his self-doubt only lasted for an instant. When he was resolute once more, he no longer hesitated. He abruptly changed his shooting posture, and this scene caused an uproar in the audience. Unexpectedly, after hesitating for almost 4 minutes, Qiao Ting chose to give up.
"Good, daring to ignore the taunts, decisively giving up and choosing the most correct method of attack. This Qiao Ting's future is limitless."
Unlike the audience, the eyes of the top-class mecha operators present, as well as the representatives of the various divisions, lit up. This Qiao Ting, compared to the Qiao Ting just now, had grown up in terms of mood. Moreover, he could make the most accurate decision in an extremely short amount of time. They believed that even if he entered the battlefield, he would still be able to live a little longer than the others.
The Federation treasured ace operators very much, but they treasured these ace operators who could live a much longer time even more. This was because only these ace operators who could survive would have the chance to climb to greater heights and become the ultimate weapon of the Federation, intimidating other nations.
Without a doubt, Qiao Ting's current performance proved that the other was probably such a person. Some of the representatives from several divisions even decided to report to their division commanders when they returned and try their best to get Qiao Ting to join them.
Qiao Ting quickly corrected his posture and returned to the attack he was best at. That feeling of having everything under his control returned once more. He aimed at his opponent, locked onto his target in an instant, and then pulled the trigger.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! " Almost without pause, four shots were fired at the same time. In the end, Qiao Ting still chose the advanced gun technique he was best at — N-point Blockade.
N-point Blockade could fire up to nine bullets in an instant, simultaneously sealing off all possible landing points for the opponent to dodge. Originally, this gun technique combined with the extraordinarily powerful ballistic sniper rifle could be said to be a perfect combination, able to kill the opponent instantly. Now that he had switched to using a long-range beam rifle, although its power had dropped by a few levels, it was still easy to hit the opponent and cause damage.
