Chapter 171: What An Awesome Explanation

As time crawled, Fa Ning waited until he was bored out of his mind. The System suddenly spoke, “This is bad, why are they escaping? Besides that, I can faintly feel six extremely peculiar power presences from afar, and they appeared in the direction that they are escaping to.”

Fang Ning was very delighted after hearing that, but his tone, on the other hand, was flat. “See, what did I say? They really are cowardly, afraid that we might strike back before dying, and they didn’t want to delay any further, so they ran away. Regarding the six powers that you said earlier, what is so peculiar about them?”

The System replied, “Their presences felt very weak to me, with the highest being Cutlery-level, but the threat they pose is very high, almost reaching Pond-level.

Fang Ning had never doubted sir System’s battlefield observations, so he instantly became nervous and pondered, “What is the meaning of this?”

Qi Yan, who was currently treating Vigilante A, suddenly noticed that her own internal energy could not be channeled into him anymore.

She stared blankly ahead, and realized that he already stood up, head lifted and looking into the distance.

Qi Yan subconsciously asked, “Vigilante A, what happened?”

Vigilante A only glanced at her, and replied softly, “You are in grave danger. You are a mere Mug-level Contestant. Do not follow me. You will only cause me trouble later.”

Qi Yan spaced out after hearing so. What did he mean by “mere”? What “Mug-level Contestant”? What are those? “Also, isn’t your tone of speech changing a little too fast, Sir?” she thought.

He was still like a normal person earlier. When he saw that she came to save him, his tone was filled with gratitude.

However, now his tone became high and cold. Not to mention, this high and cold tone was actually more in line with her impression towards him…

Before she could react, Vigilante A disappeared before her eyes with an almighty ‘woosh’.

Qi Yan looked blankly at the empty space before him. His injuries were so heavy, and yet he could still run so fast. Did she diagnose him wrongly with her ancestral medical treatment?

Fang Ning was utterly helpless, just now the System took away his body again after thoroughly choking him. With his hurried actions, it was definitely because he wanted to chase and capture the monster…

…

After a short while, Vigilante A appeared on a hill three miles from where he had been. He hid between some vegetation and looked below.

As Fang Ning looked through the System View, he understood everything at once.

At the foot of the hill he was on was a large, flat, meadow. The grass was yellow and swayed lightly with the wind. The surroundings were bleak and desolate, and only the whistling of the north wind could be heard. There were no sounds of insects chittering and birds crying at all.

Six large robots that were about ten meters high were spread across the meadow. It looked like a scene straight from a movie or an anime, but they have truly appeared in the real world this time.

They formed a loose circle, each of them armed to the teeth with missile launchers fixed on their shoulders, carrying anti-aircraft machine guns, a Gatling on their left hand, fire artillery on their right hand, and even multiple rocket launchers in their chest.

These were the only weapons that Fang Ning could recognize. Those robots also carried much more bizarre equipment on their bodies, those of which he knew nothing of.

At the central area that the six robots were surrounding stood the heirs of the Three Hindu Gods, those who ran away after releasing their Ult.

They were still clad in their so-called Heavenly Armor. The one called Maram’s was exceptionally obvious, with his Heavenly Armor’s gold and the crimson of his blood mixed together. The effect was vibrant, and would have easily been etched into one’s mind.

At this moment, he was currently talking to the robots, “Ren Ruofeng, you guys actually came up with these spiritually-controlled androids! But I have to ask, are you so confident in them that you’d these metal scraps to try to detain us?”

After he finished speaking, a lazy voice sounded.

The source of the sound was from a large, coquettish, android which was painted silver white all over and dressed up extravagantly.

“You are quite precise, as these spiritually-controlled androids are still just prototypes, it would certainly be difficult to keep you people here. Unfortunately, there is now a highly intelligent Level A test subject. Oh, according to the Dragon Clan evaluation standards that arrived recently, is it just too difficult to find a Pond-level test subject. Luckily, you people have brought yourselves to us, just in time to put you people inside and help me do an actual combat test… But if you guys think of escaping, that would be impossible, as I, Ren Ruofeng’s predictions are never wrong. Do you guys really believe this circle is all I have? You guys have two options, to surrender to me, or to be executed on the spot…”

After Maram listened to him, he was shocked and furious, “Ren Ruofeng, we are the heirs of the Three Hindu Gods, and also members of the GASATO. If we refuse to surrender, would you really dare to kill us?”

Ren Ruofeng’s voice was unfazed, “Ei, Old Ma, didn’t you just say that ‘righteousness lies in the hands of the strong’? What’s the point of that? I’m now stronger than you right now, so I now represent justice. If you refuse to surrender, I shall then execute you with the Hammer of Justice!”

After he finished his sentence, the silvery-white robot’s right hand started moving. The huge silvery-white fist could be seen targeting Maram, and sprang out in an instant, striking in a flash.

Maram was a Pond-level Powerhouse after all. When facing unexpected attacks like this, he was able to dodge in a few steps. That huge silvery-white fist barely brushed past his body.

His Heavenly Armor vibrated lightly a few times; the golden shine from the outer layer had weakened.

“Damn it, the impact was so powerful. This is definitely not any normal physical attack!” Although Maram evaded the attack, he was still extremely startled, he told himself that he would have to be on his toes.

Ren Ruofeng seemed a bit disappointed, and the voice of the silvery-white robot rang once again, “This is unfortunate, certainly the speed and hit rate are still not good enough. I expected that hit to kill you immediately. It seems that I still need that guy to work overtime to help me do some debugging…”

Fang Ning was stupefied, this Maram was a Pond-level Powerhouse who brushed with the System was actually stuck in a battle where it would take days before a clear winner was decided.

However, Ren Ruofeng said that if that robot’s fist were to hit Maram, it would have the killed him. This amount of attack power was truly frightening.

Watching the situation being grasped by the ally, there should be no danger. While Fang Ning was shocked, all he wanted to know more about was that fist.

Thus Fang Ning asked the System, “That punch earlier, was it really that strong?”

The System, “Shut your mouth, I have no time to answer your question.”

Fang Ning was absolutely speechless, he knew that the System was definitely ready to perform a kill steal.

There was still a sour taste in his mouth though. After thinking for a while, he realized that there was a technician who might be able to answer his question.

He refuted, “If you don’t answer me, then give me a big screen broadcast and place it in the prison officer’s office in the System Prison. This should not cost you any effort, and I’ll go ask someone else. Trust me, this is very important, this is going to have consequences.”

Once the System heard “consequences” or some such word, it tended to yield. The Host had never cheated it before regarding matters like these.

The System actually still had time to spare for that, and quickly prepared it for Fang Ning.

In the System Prison area, the prison officer’s office in the Draconic Penitentiary, in Anderson’s exclusive ward, another big electronic screen appeared. On it was the battle raging outside.

The entire process was like a miracle. Fang Ning could not help but sigh, it really had the highest authority in the System Space. The next time he was in there, he would have to behave better…

The person whom Fang Ning wanted to ask was, naturally, Anderson.

He had stolen technology from the Truth Department before, and he had always been equipped with the latest technology from the highly developed United States of America. He would definitely be familiar with various forms of modern weaponry.

Anderson seemed to have been holding an itch for quite some time. After seeing the battlefield scene broadcasted on the big screen, and Fang Ning opened his mouth to ask. He was met with a torrent of answers..

“That silvery-white robot, there are acceleration, locking, and destruction enhancement formations on both its hands. It’s also configured with the latest automatic positioning technology. As for how powerful it is, I would have to wait until Ren Ruofeng punches one more time before I can give a gauge.

Before his voice faded, in the big screen, that silvery-white robot suddenly released another punch.

Based on Maram’s first experience, he was able to completely evade it, and the silvery-white robot’s fist returned after another failed attempt.

Anderson said, “Its attack power has reached Pond-level, and its speed broke the sound barrier. It should have a Special Shield Formation added to it to mask the sonic boom, and the surrounding air would only show weak fluctuations. Since a Pond-level Powerhouse’s reactions and observations are too powerful, the hit rate would be a problem without adding a Sure Hit Effect. When it launches an attack, there are a few pre-actions, Maram probably relied on this to do pre-empt his evasive maneuvers.

Fang Ning was extremely satisfied. “Hm, I noticed that too. Andy, your explanations are very impressive, so I shall leave all the battlefield explanation work to you. When I return, I will give you a few pills as a reward, since this explanation work is more spirit consuming.”

Anderson was surprised and overjoyed at the same time. He replied with an excited tone, “Allowing me to observe the outside world is my biggest reward. I express my greatest show of gratitude towards Your Excellency the Warden. I shall diligently provide commentary for sure, and guarantee that Your Excellency will clearly understand every battle.”

Fang Ning nodded his head, “Hm, I’ve heard your battle explanations once over before. I have high hopes for you, so do well in the future.”

Of course, he understood why Anderson would be so excited. Anyone who stayed too long in prison would undoubtedly be looking forward to catching up with the outside world.

Anderson was too much of a genius. Whatever form of entertainment he saw, he would be able to master immediately. His profile had shown that he did not have any hobbies; only fresh and stimulating matters could make him regain spirit. This job was not a mission to him, but a game instead.

The System interrupted them at this moment, “Host, that is enough…”

Fang Ning replied boldly, “This is a must, I must understand the battlefield, how would I be able to let you design a development plan otherwise?

“That punch is indeed staggeringly powerful, but we must understand that all these techniques can be researched. Our allies could research it, but would the enemy just stand back and do nothing while they do? For now, you have the capability to evade it, but if they were to make improvements to their technique, what would you do then? Would you know how to solve it?”

The System was speechless, “…”

Fang Ning continued his dialogue with Anderson, ignoring the clueless and stupid System.

“Andy, how do you think this battle will progress?”

Anderson replied, “In my opinion, Ren Ruofeng probably intends to test all his weapons at once, and then launch the last siege, capturing the three Hindu Pond-level Powerhouses. He probably wouldn’t kill them either. That would be a waste, since Pond-level Powerhouses are rare in this current world, and those that are suitable for experimenting number even fewer. Oh right, they have the Land of Heritage, so there should be quite a number of test subjects.”

Fang Ning nodded his head, and sure enough, the following events progressed exactly as Anderson had speculated.

The silvery-white robot had completed its first weapon test. Next, the heavy machine gun, rocket missile, anti-aircraft machine gun, and even the guided missiles were used. Save for the warheads, every weapon was only used to target Maram himself.

Maram was able to evade on the ground at first, afterward, he could only escape to the air. Almost staging a human flight performance, he barely managed to escape from the endless barrage of attacks.

“What an exciting battle,” Fang Ning watched, as if he was both drunk and addled, and casually asked, “Has a formation already been arranged near this area? The impact should be large with so much activity”

Anderson replied, “Your Excellency is correct. From what I can tell, the formation arranged in this area is not only for masking the sound, but there must be a powerful sealing formation too. Otherwise, the three of them would have chosen to escape a long time ago rather than remain trapped in here and being subject to Ren Ruofeng’s weapon tests. I’ve learned about the three of them; that Sina is proficient in Eastern Formations, and she’s also a rather smart one. She’s probably trying to find the formation’s weak points right now, attempting to find a way out.

This explanation was awesome. To give three answers to one question, Fang Ning expressed peace of mind, not having to speak more than necessary. Next time during battles, there would be no need for him to demean himself to seek answers from a certain studyholic, seeing as he was too busy doing battle.
