Chapter 553 – Battle Net

As for the higher rankings, the top 1,000 space fighter pilots were all great figures and had special honors. Those who entered the top 1,000 would be awarded special badges specially issued by the Federation according to their rankings. From 101st to 1,000th place, they would be rewarded with a corresponding emblem. For example, if it was 1,000th place, then the badge would be “God 1000” and 999th place would be “God 999”.

In the past, Yin Tianfan was a soul space fighter piloting expert that belonged to the top 1,000.

After entering the top 100 the emblems would be different, from God to Super God.

Lan Xuanyu didn’t know what level Tang Zhenhua was at when it came to piloting a soul space fighter, and Tang Zhenhua hadn’t mentioned it either. But from the difference in level between him and this teacher, he suspected that his teacher was a Super God-class pilot.

He knew that almost all Super God pilots were warship commanders.

Lan Xuanyu still had room for improvement in his piloting skills. At the same time, the most important thing was still gaining more experience in interstellar combat. Only by accumulating both could his ranking continue to rise.

Tang Zhenhua’s goal for him was to get into the top 3,000 before graduating from the Outer Court. And then he wanted him to get into the top 1,000 before the age of 22. Being able to become a God-class space fighter pilot meant that he would have pretty good self-protection abilities.

Hence, when someone looked down on him, who was already an Ace pilot, Lan Xuanyu felt that he shouldn’t feel sorry for him.

Currently, Lan Xuanyu was ranked 9,867 in Battle Net. This ranking would fluctuate frequently and was ranked according to battle points. He also had to go to Battle Net frequently for battles, otherwise, he would drop out of the top 10,000.

If that were to happen, he would lose his qualification to enter the battlefield of the top 10,000.

“Of course I’ll choose the most fun one !” Ding Zhuohan said excitedly. Of course, in Lan Xuanyu’s eyes, he felt that this fella didn’t know what was good for him. Of course, he couldn’t rule out the possibility that he was gifted. En, he should just treat it as if he was gifted.

“Alright.” Lan Xuanyu smiled and agreed, changing from the top 100,000 to 10,000.

After the adjustment, they entered the battlefield.

“Sit tight,” Lan Xuanyu said to Ding Zhuohan.

“Come on, I’m so excited...” Before he could finish his sentence, he felt the space fighter suddenly tremble. In an instant, a huge force came over and pressed him firmly onto the seat. The terrifying force caused him to feel as though his soul had left his body.

The scenery in front of them changed abruptly. The space fighter had already shot out, and the outside space was boundless.

“Wa, wa, wa, it feels so good, so good,” Ding Zhuohan shouted excitedly. His Martial Soul was actually very rare and was related to astrology, so he had always been extremely passionate about space. One of the things he liked most was to travel in space on a space fighter.

Just like during the long journey to the Elven Planet, he was the only one who didn’t feel lonely. When he had nothing to do, he would look out of the window at the stars in the distance. Observing the beauty of space seemed to be beneficial for his Martial Soul cultivation.

But this was the first time he was in space on a space fighter. Even though it was only a simulation pod, the virtual Douluo World was too realistic and everything felt the same.

The intense feeling of a force pushing him against his back brought about a great stimulation and an indescribable comfort.

Just at this moment, through the screen in front of him, Ding Zhuohan saw balls of fire lighting up in the distance from time to time. He could vaguely see some space fighters flying around. That feeling of flying in space immediately fascinated him.

“Boss, look, those space fighters are flying so fast! The way they’re moving back and forth is so cool. Wow, they can actually turn in that direction? Can a space fighter really withstand it?” Ding Zhuohan felt more and more that it was a mistake not choosing the Interstellar Commanding department back then. He loved space so much.

But his thoughts stopped there.

His vision blurred all of a sudden and Ding Zhuohan immediately felt a strong force from the side. He was pressed against the seat and the scenery before his eyes became blurry and everything turned blurry.

Under Lan Xuanyu’s control, the space fighter moved horizontally and made a 90-degree turn nimbly, avoiding a sneak attack of a space fighter hiding in the darkness.

This was a phantom space fighter with an invisibility ability. It was very common in space battles, and one would usually have to be very close in order to detect the other party through the energy undulations.

Lan Xuanyu had been practicing for so many years and was naturally extremely sensitive in this aspect. He immediately dodged.

The phantom space fighter became visible and also made a turn, and it chose to appear behind Lan Xuanyu’s space fighter. In a space fighter battle, the greatest taboo was to be locked in from the back. If that happened, it would be extremely difficult to turn the situation around.

Lan Xuanyu didn’t hesitate at all. To be able to enter the top 10,000, every single one of them was an Ace pilot and was extremely strong. Here, his flying skills could only be ranked in the lower reaches. He had to go all out in order to gain a chance at survival.

Hence, when he was suddenly attacked by the phantom space fighter, he had already forgotten that he had a co-pilot beside him. The instant he made a 90-degree turn to avoid the attack, the space fighter quickly pulled upwards. A Cobra maneuver pulled the warship upwards and at the same time, he did a backflip without hesitation.

He was very decisive and even Tang Zhenhua would give him a thumbs up if he saw this.

Once an opponent of the same rank locked onto him from behind, it was simply too difficult to turn the tables. Instead of fighting for that small probability, it was better to take the risk right from the start. Although this would put him in danger instantly, it was also the most proactive response.

In a battlefield like this, without the support of allies, everyone had to rely on themselves. When faced with enemies, only the brave would win.

The phantom space fighter saw Lan Xuanyu’s backflip and did not continue charging forward. As a series of soul rays shot towards Lan Xuanyu, the phantom space fighter rolled horizontally. At the same time, its engine shut down and slowed down his momentum.

Rays after rays brushed past the side of Lan Xuanyu’s space fighter, and there were also some that hit him. It caused his space fighter to tremble violently, and its protective shield’s energy fell.

But by relying on his strong reaction, the space fighter had already turned around and rolled horizontally, finally coming face to face with the phantom space fighter.

There was no doubt that the opponent’s meticulous ambush had allowed him to gain the upper hand, but Lan Xuanyu had also turned the situation around.

Soul rays shot out and covered the phantom space fighter. At the same time, Lan Xuanyu controlled his space fighter to accelerate and increased the thrust to its maximum.

What sort of space fighter was the hardest to pilot? Naturally, it was under overloaded conditions. Only by familiarizing oneself with all the functions of a space fighter could one pilot it as easily as one’s arm. But at the same time, a space fighter that was on overload was also the most powerful.

It was true that the phantom space fighter had the upper hand thanks to its sneak attack, but because it had the invisibility system on, its energy consumption was slightly higher than that of an ordinary space fighter. Hence, although it seemed like Lan Xuanyu was at a disadvantage, he had only lost energy. The other party was unable to lock onto him from behind, and the situation between the two parties was already back to neutral.

It gave the impression to his opponent that the pilot that he had ambushed was extremely decisive and even had a hint of ferocity. Lan Xuanyu didn’t stop even for a second and immediately charged towards him at his fastest speed. This was a situation where life and death were determined in an instant.

They were all Ace pilots, so the phantom space fighter pilot naturally wouldn’t be timid at this moment. In a one-on-one battle between space fighters, once one party became weaker in terms of momentum, their maneuvers would definitely be affected and a change in attitude would lead to one’s demise.
