Chapter 279 - Invincible One-Handed Flying (2/2)
Fighter jets at the two airports roared almost at the same time as the powerful drive furnace quickly pushed the fighter jets of both sides on the runway.
“How…?”
Will spread his ten fingers as he suddenly grabbed the back of the seat before him forcefully. To his dismay, the first fighter jet to take off didn’t belong to the able-bodied pilots of American Aerial Combat Team, but to Qin Fen who was piloting with just one hand!
The expression of African and West Asian pilots changed simultaneously at the sight of this. So fast!? Is Qin Fen truly injured!? Is he really using just one arm to pilot!? How can he achieve such a speed!?
Impossible! African and West Asian recruits gazed at each other with frustration. The take-off was simply perfect. Much to everyone’s dismay, a one-handed pilot was actually faster than the pilots using two hands.
“Good!”
Zhao Huzi, unable to contain his excitement, punched the back of the seat in front of him, smashing it into pieces with his tyrannical strength immediately.
“General Zhao.” Will took a deep breath, trying to maintain his smile. “This is just take off, the true…”
BOOM!
A sudden loud explosion from the projection screen interrupted Will.
On the screen, amidst the huge ball of fire in the sky, one could vaguely see the American Military Region flag. The vanguard position of the entire flying squad was now completely vacant.
“What the hell happened?” Will stared at the projection screen in a daze. The vanguard has been shot down just after the game had started!? Is Qin Fen really flying with one hand!?
Will turned his gaze to the picture-in-picture on the screen, where the video from the cockpit was being broadcasted.
“This…”
Will stared at the picture-in-picture projection on the screen in a daze. Having seen many big events as a General, Will was rarely surprised in day to day life. But Qin Fen’s performance continued to marvel everyone again and again.
One hand! Indeed he was flying with one hand! His hand speed didn’t seem fast and amazing enough to have an advantage over the American Aerial Combat Team. Just like Qin Fen, the hands of the American Aerial Combat Team were so fast that they were leaving after images.
But on a closer look, Will noticed the difference between both sides. There weren’t any wastage movements in between Qin Fen’s fingers, nor was there any wastage in the moving distance. Every time his fingers were near the edge of touching the buttons, he would push the buttons without a shred of hesitation.
Whereas the hand speed of the American Aerial Combat Team may be fast, but every time they pushed the buttons, they would do so by pushing them right in the middle.
Just this tiny bit of gap had changed the course of the battle and had become fatal!
Will furrowed his brows tighter and tighter. Qin Fen wasn’t just pushing the buttons just around edge confidently, his piloting skills had reached a whole new level. Just like martial arts had their own martial arts level, every skill had a level of its own! Similarly, aerial combat operations had a level of its own.
Qin Fen had already entered the realm of domain in aerial combat! Any pilot who could enter this level of aerial combat no longer pursued the so-called hand speed. For such pilots, there was no difference between operating with two hands and operating with one hand.
This was truly the level of an ace pilot! Will’s pupils constricted to the size of pins. Qin Fen’s piloting skills are no different than the skills of the true ace pilot of America! No wonder this kid invited everyone to watch the battle. His piloting skills had already broken away from the low level where there is a difference between one hand piloting and two hand piloting.
Slowly, Will shut his eyes closed and stopped looking at that fierce and blood-seething aerial combat on the screen.
Now, everything was meaningless. No matter how fierce the aerial combat was, no matter what kind of cooperation the American Aerial Combat Team pilots pulled, no matter what kind of aerial combat skills they displayed, no matter how much they increased their attack power, the battle only had one conclusion! And that was the complete annihilation of American Aerial Combat Team by Qin Fen single-handedly, literally!
If they wanted to change the outcome, either they had to come up with an ace pilot who had the same aerial combat skills as Qin Fen, or pray that the Goddess of Fortune was the mother of the American team.
Okosa pursed his lips in ridicule as he took pleasure in others’ misfortune and turned his gaze at Will, who had closed his eyes, awaiting the fate of being defeated to befall. You kicked an iron plate, didn’t you? You didn’t expect Qin Fen’s aerial combat skills to have already broken away from the lowest level, the level that solely pursued hand speed, right?’
Zhao Huzi, on the other hand, was grinning like a Cheshire cat. Even his thick beard was unable to cover that big grin on his face. We won! Qin Fen’s skills have actually reached this level, it’s truly surprising!
The West Asian General and the African General glanced at each other as they heaved a sigh, shaking their heads. They might not specialize in aerial combat, they might not have reached that level, but they still had the most basic eyesight. Qin Fen’s skills had reached such a level that an aerial combat team formed of recruits could not defeat him.
What if we attack with both aerial combat teams? West Asian and African General sunk into deep thoughts. If we lost…
Suddenly, a series of explosions resounded before the faces of West Asian and African Generals turned green! They looked at each other, perplexed. They could not believe what they were seeing on the screen.
They… they… they only lost a single fighter, how in the bloody hell did the entire American Aerial Combat Team get annihilated? What the hell did the Specter Fighter do?
Their fighters exploded!
Sitting in their cockpits, the American recruits stared blankly at the huge ball of fire in the sky. What the hell just happened? How the hell did we lose when we had just gained the upper hand?
Zhao Huzi threw his head back hard. What the hell just happened? What in the bloody hell did he do?
Will opened his eyes and lightly heaved a sigh. How did we lose? Does that matter? What we should really reflect is not this aerial combat, but the moment we met Qin Fen in the VIP room. That was the root of our defeat.
From the beginning, Qin Fen’s right arm was the landmine of the entire aerial combat. That right arm of his had confused everyone, luring everyone into his trap.
Did I goad him? Will sneered. At that moment, Qin Fen was excited to receive the goading in his heart, wasn’t he? At that moment, a kid like him actually resisted the excitement in his heart and maintained such a light expression on his face!
“We lost.”
Will stood up and clenched his hands around his waist. This time we have lost completely, not just in aerial combat but also in psychological warfare. An honorable general lost to a recruit.
If this was a true battlefield… Large beads of cold sweat emerged on Will’s forehead as he stared at Qin Fen who just walked out of the cockpit. I f this kid joins the army, his future might be truly limitless.
The American recruits walked out of the cockpit hanging their heads in frustration. Each and every one of them looked at Qin Fen with a dumbfounded look in their eyes. How the hell did we just lose? Was it a system failure?
Okosa, on the other hand, was smiling very happily. It wasn’t just that the American Aerial Combat Team that had lost. Before the match, Qin Fen had already pushed both sides at the edge of the cliff. Whichever side that lost would have their momentum of their entire team participating in the tournament affected.
A General was the banner of this battle! Will lost this time, and when he was personally supervising the whole thing nevertheless. This incident would certainly spread to the American recruit camp and cause a chain reaction.
As the African and West Asian generals looked at each other, they received the message conveyed by their eyes, “The hegemon position of the American recruits had completely collapsed for this recruit tournament. A new hegemon will emerge in this tournament. Each military region has the chance to become the new hegemon, especially the East Asian recruits! Qin Fen, who has personally pushed America down the throne, will very likely lead East Asia and climb the peak of recruit tournament.”
“Kid!”
Zhao Huzi rubbed his hands vigorously. If it wasn’t for the fear of affecting Qin Fen’s recovery, he would have long given Qin Fen a bear hug and patted his shoulders hard.
“In the future, as long as you don’t do anything that would be in serious violation of military law, if anyone dares to provoke you, you can come directly to me, I will bear anything for you!” Zhao Huzi was extremely happy. Winning this aerial combat competition wasn’t so simple. Its significance was far-reaching. Naturally. as a General, he could see through it.
“Kid.” Will, sorting out his uniform, lightly raised his thumb. “You are truly something. I can’t wait to watch you compete with African and West Asia’s aerial combat team as well as their mobile armor squad.”
Hearing this, the faces of West Asian and African generals immediately sunk as they glared fiercely at Will. They could not wait to eat him alive.
Will maintained a gentleman’s smile as he responded to the major generals of two military regions. His eyes flickered with a meaning that both generals could understand, “I, Will may be the loser, but I will drag you down with me before my death! You want me to be your stepping stone!? Dream on!”
