Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

885 – Meteroid Transformation

TL: BluVerse

Next to the colonel commander, there was a female lieutenant colonel officer who spoke in a deep voice: “Captain, they must still be around, but being so good at hiding is not good for us. I think we should withdraw from this area as soon as possible. If their fleet arrives, it could cause unnecessary losses for us.”

She expressed it subtly, suggesting that these opponents were not easy to deal with.

The colonel spoke in a deep voice, “If this were a real battlefield, our comrades would have already been sacrificed, likely falling under the attacks of several fighter jets. Even if we decide to withdraw, it should be after avenging them. With the arrangement of star mines, we have plenty of time. I refuse to believe they can escape so easily. Find them at the fastest speed.”

The lieutenant colonel frowned, saying, “These may be a very unusual group of enemies with abilities beyond our expectations. Shouldn’t we set a withdrawal time?”

After a brief contemplation, the colonel nodded slightly, acknowledging the need for rational decision-making on the battlefield. He said, “Thirty minutes. If we still can’t find them within thirty minutes, we will withdraw. Is it possible that there’s technology in the Douluo World now that allows aircraft to become invisible in this Chaos Star Field?”

He couldn’t imagine that aircraft could penetrate meteorites. Under normal circumstances, this was impossible because aircraft could only fly forward and not backward. Even if they could dig a hole in the meteorite, once inside, there would be no way out. No pilot would choose such an option.

Of course, Lan Xuanyu wouldn’t reveal to his opponents how he had accomplished this. He was simply waiting quietly for an opportunity.

Without using the radar of the aircraft, he relied on his spiritual power and perception to observe. Elemental affinity played a crucial role at this moment, with the meteorites containing not only rare metals but mostly earth elements. In space, elements existed only under specific conditions, such as near a star, where fire elements would be extremely powerful.

Now, controlling his Skywing Mecha, Lan Xuanyu pressed his hands against the surface of the meteorite, communicating with the earth element and sensing the situation within a certain range. He also used his eyes to observe.

Meteorites in space constantly moved and tumbled. He disguised himself as part of a meteorite, following its movements to observe.

The fleet of warships had already dispersed. In the meteorite belt surrounded by star mines, they were searching for traces of the enemy.

After observing for a while, Lan Xuanyu discovered that these warships had a systematic approach. Although they were dispersed, there was always a certain distance maintained between them, allowing for quick support in a short amount of time.

However, that wasn’t enough!

The opportunity finally arrived.

A meteor-class reconnaissance ship released a scanning beam, slowly passing by the meteorite that Lan Xuanyu was attached to.

Lan Xuanyu’s soul power erupted instantly. With the amplification of the Two-Word Battle Armor, a rich light halo instantly enveloped the meteorite.

What the teachers from Shrek Academy watching this assessment saw most clearly was the sudden change in the several dozen meters in diameter meteorite that Lan Xuanyu was attached to. A huge and unimaginable spike suddenly emerged from the surface and ruthlessly pierced the abdomen of the meteor-class reconnaissance ship as it passed by.

As mentioned before, the protective shield of a space warship mainly defended against energy impacts. Even within a meteorite belt, they would effectively avoid meteorites and, when unavoidable, use secondary cannons for attack. This was because the energy consumption of physical shields was too high. Space warships were also extremely sturdy, and ordinary meteorites couldn’t cause them any harm.

The sudden transformation of the meteorite caught everyone off guard. A massive spike punctured the energy shield without warning, heavily impacting the lower part of the meteor-class reconnaissance ship.

With a dull sound, a huge depression appeared in the abdomen of the meteor-class reconnaissance ship, which was also sent rolling by the impact.

A figure also attached itself to it.

A deep blue light flickered, and an enormous halberd blade decisively cut through the ship’s abdomen, breaking through its defense. The mech then entered the interior of the warship.

All of this happened very suddenly.

Colonel Commander Yao Lilin, sitting in the meteor-class assault warship, quickly issued a call, “What’s going on? Report from reconnaissance ship four, report from reconnaissance ship four.”

“Reporting commander, we don’t know what happened. It seems like it was suddenly hit by a meteorite. Ah! An enemy has invaded our warship, alarm, there’s an enemy…”

The voice stopped there. The next moment, a dazzling fire burst accompanied by a roar erupted in space. Another meteor-class reconnaissance ship was destroyed right under the fleet’s watchful eyes.

A figure flashed by. One could vaguely see that it seemed to be a mech.

Bypassing a meteorite to block the line of sight of the enemy warships, and avoiding the soul beams that came from behind with the help of the meteorite, the Skywing Mech transformed into a fighter jet, and Lan Xuanyu controlled the aircraft to accelerate instantly.

“Fool!” The colonel commander cursed angrily. The fleet quickly gathered and pressed in the direction of Lan Xuanyu. They had already seen Lan Xuanyu’s fighter jet. Soul beams covered towards Lan Xuanyu, and capture nets were deployed. Regardless, they had to destroy the guy who had once again damaged their warship.

However, something unexpected happened. Lan Xuanyu’s fighter jet did not continue flying away but turned back.

In fact, he couldn’t continue flying away. There were too many star mines in this space. It wasn’t surprising to the fleet, but the problem was, when he flew back, a large number of star mines followed behind him. A vast number of star mines.

The instantaneous acceleration and explosion of the star mines were extremely powerful, but at this moment, the fighter jet erupted with a dazzling blue light, and the azure radiance suddenly increased its speed to a level that even star mines couldn’t catch up with. It created a spectacular scene as the star mines followed behind him like the trail of exhaust from his fighter jet.

“Cease fire. He wants to lure us into detonating the star mines and then escape again.” The colonel immediately issued an order, “Cover him with the capture nets. He can’t escape!”

One after another, capture nets blossomed, covering towards Lan Xuanyu.

Sitting in the Skywing fighter jet, Lan Xuanyu’s face remained calm. In front of him were a multitude of capture nets, and behind him were countless star mines. The scene was truly magnificent.

At this moment, he began to demonstrate his powerful aircraft piloting skills, showcasing his level as Super God Fifty-Eight.

As he approached the range covered by the capture nets at high speed, the Skywing fighter jet suddenly changed direction in this high-speed state, performing a cobra maneuver.

The capture nets had already entered the capture range, immediately covering him and releasing powerful electromagnetic energy to attach to the fighter jet.

Under normal circumstances, once a fighter jet entered this range, there was no way to avoid it. However, Lan Xuanyu precisely controlled this range with exquisite precision. With the abundant wind element and the high speed of the fighter jet, it was as if the surface of the fighter jet had been smeared with oil.

Under his control, the fighter jet slightly swayed in space and, as several capture nets pounced simultaneously, none of them caught him. He slipped through the gaps, and those capture nets, under the effect of electromagnetic signals, collided with each other, instantly entangling themselves.
