Devil Angel's scanning device was damaged, which was undoubtedly the best news for Younger Haier. He believed that Jiu Ling's situation was far worse than his own, which led Younger Haier to decide to go all out for a do-or-die attack, confident that the odds were in his favor.
Similarly, Jiu Ling also believed that her opponent's condition was worse. Losing a leg was not just about losing balance; it amounted to a significant loss of mobility. These seemingly negligible movements were quite fatal for an adversary of the super soldier level, but why? Let us take a closer look.
Firstly, the average hand speed of an ordinary soldier is only about 100 keystrokes per minute. What does 100 keystrokes per minute represent? The hand speed of a professional typist averages at 150 keystrokes, who can type approximately 350 words per minute. Of course, this typing comes with the provision of typos; in other words, if typos were eliminated and words were re-entered, significantly more time would be wasted. This is the concept of effective operation and real hand speed. Therefore, for the average person viewing a 150 keystroke hand speed, typing accurately is not impossible but very difficult.
But super soldiers are different. Remember, this is not the era of humans from centuries ago. After mankind landed on Mars in 2050 and resettled there in 2400, humans, referred to as the 'cosmic virus,' rapidly spread throughout the universe... The first technology humans mastered was spatial wormholes, followed by antimatter curvature flight, and finally, entangled light teleportation technology. The human brain also kept evolving over time. With the general increase in brain development rates, in the modern understanding, the average hand speed and subconscious brain reactions are much higher than they were centuries ago. If we compare the average typing speed of an internet addict from centuries earlier at 100 words per minute to being unremarkable, now typing 300 words per minute is taken for granted.
However, super soldiers are different. Their cells are far superior to those of ordinary people, whether due to postnatal growth or innate development. This group's abilities would be evident early on; otherwise, Mu Tou wouldn't have been identified as a gifted sniper by Feng Yi right after joining Wind Thunder. Of course, talent is only one aspect; hard work is also essential. As the saying goes, 'a boat going against the current must forge ahead or be swept downstream.' Even a genius like Jiu Ling had to repeat her routine day after day to reach such heights, let alone an ordinary person.
Because Jiu Ling did what others could not, she was indeed a super soldier. Her self-assured confidence was also reasonable, especially considering that Younger Haier had lost an arm. Although her own scanning device was equally damaged, she still believed the odds were in her hands.
With this in mind, Jiu Ling continued her assault on Younger Haier. Coincidentally, Younger Haier also launched a Thunder Formula attack on Jiu Ling at the same time. Devil Angel, clearly worried about Jiu Ling's safety, also initiated a suppression move against Younger Haier at the same moment.
But Older Haier couldn't just watch his brother get hurt. These two brothers were in it together, for better or for worse. The moment Ghost 1 launched a sneak attack on Younger Haier, Older Haier fired a laser shot to force it back and then sped up directly towards Jiu Ling.
Jiu Ling twitched her ears and chose to twist her body for a block, swinging out her sword accurately to fend off the attack. Unfortunately, as fast as her action was, two fists were no match for four hands, and her back was immediately pounded hard by Younger Haier.
Now, the Haier Brothers were jointly restraining Jiu Ling. It wasn't the simplistic concept that a person typically has only one pair of eyes; rather, these two people averaged two pairs each. Their field of vision was shared, through the scanning device's 360-degree panoramic mapping; virtually no blind spots existed in their shared battle.
In just three seconds, Jiu Ling found herself at a disadvantage, being suppressed by the Haier Brothers. Although not yet pronounced, it was clear that Jiu Ling was defending and retreating... At the same time, she also had to watch for sudden threats, such as elite soldiers from the Blazing Legion or other super soldiers. Currently, the only one who could provide support to Jiu Ling was Devil Angel; of course, Jiu Ling wasn't aware of Devil Angel. While she found the movements of Ghost 1 somewhat familiar, they only resonated to an extent; she never considered the possibility of Devil Angel's involvement.
Jiu Ling had not expected the Haier Brothers' suppression to be so formidable, leaving her in a frantic and disoriented state. With one more person, she feared... Fortunately, Devil Angel came to the rescue in the nick of time. Apart from the Haier Brothers, there were no other Federation super soldiers restraining Jiu Ling. Of course, the Blazing Legion's elite soldiers also didn't dare to act rashly, often aiming for a good while before shooting. This can't be blamed on them; though they were strong, they were significantly different from super soldiers, unable to predict a super soldier's movement trajectory or action routine. An insurmountable gap of realm meant that acting rashly would almost certainly risk injuring their own, especially since they were constantly on guard against Blazing warriors.
Our forces were different, though; they entrusted their backs to the Blazing Legion, which, to some extent, was the greatest demonstration of trust. In such situations, a shot in the back from one's own would be utterly unexpected and potentially fatal for a super pilot, considering it might lead to their demise. As super pilots, they also had a certain ability to sense danger and discern risks, but this ability was much weaker when caught off guard.
