Feng Yi put away the book. Although he had used his electronic eye to capture and record a virtual copy of the book, he wasn't satisfied with the result. Even a minor accident could overturn the boat.
After all, he was allowed to bypass the preliminary battles due to his ranking on the official recommended list. It would be inexcusable if he fell here. However, Feng Yi himself had never planned to proceed to the end. His aim was not here, he was merely carrying out the tasks entrusted to him by his superiors. As for Mecha, he liked it, but he didn't want to wear the red cloak and stand in the spotlight because of some specific political interests. He cherished his freedom, and despite being bound by duty, he never lost focus of his path.
Looking at Margaret's slightly confused face, Feng Yi shook his head and laughed. The sight pissed off the young girl.
Truth be told, Margaret hadn't expected her last move to knock off her opponent's scarf. Their physical strengths were on completely different levels, and her attacks didn't yield much result compared to the energy she put in. Deep down, Margaret had some inkling that she might not make it to the end...
But who was Margaret? What had she been working hard for? The family had originally planned for her to emerge later but since she was here, she was ready to face failure. After all, she had tried her best.
The 15-year-old girl's eyes glimmered with a newfound determination. However, the odds of her defeating her opponent were still slim, if not downright minute. From Feng Yi's evasion maneuvers, Margaret had realized the considerable gap in skill between them. Despite this disparity, she remained firm in her resolve to move forward, even if Mount Tai collapsed before her.
It seemed like she had to use "that"! Apart from fighting, Margaret had a seldom revealed secret – her mental ability. Mental ability is a resonating magnetic field formed due to the advanced development of the brain's capacity. And her magnetic field manifestedin fluctuations of psychic power. This was one of the main reasons why she rarely used Mecha in combat – she didn't have much confidence in controlling it.
Yes, even though her reflex speed of 200 cards was considered an absolute genius among her peers, there were numerous geniuses in the world. Somebody ranked thousands or even tens of thousands in the Galactic Warfare could have the same, if not faster, reflex speed. Because of the configuration of her mecha, her chances of winning were slim, so she didn't have any winning chips. Her only hope of victory was to rely on her X Ability, which was why she always proposed single-ended combat when she met an opponent.
In fact, mecha combat was, to some degree, an enlarged version of single-ended combat. It was just that the requirements were more demanding, and every pilot had a unique understanding of single-ended combat. Although Margaret had already passed her basic evaluation, she didn't have much confidence in mecha combat, and now she had encountered such a formidable opponent.
She had originally wanted to wait, but now that things had come to this, she couldn't wait anymore. She had no choice.
Margaret gently closed her eyes, her black hair blowing in the wind, and her body suddenly exuded a peculiar air. This aura was imperceptible to the audience, but the game program could effectively display it. A light pink magnetic field started radiating from her and gradually enveloped Feng Yi.
While Feng Yi was not apt at many things, when it came to fighting, he was interested. So he didn't exploit the opportunity to attack when his opponent was accumulating psychic energy. This decision turned into a significant problem when Margaret opened her bright eyes and shot out a beam of golden light.
With a loud cry, Feng Yi felt a light weightlessness. He was then hurled backward like a cannonball by the invisible psychic force.
'Psychic Fluctuation'
When the intelligent brain of the big screen gave out a system evaluation, the audience once again fell into a shock... Even Sky Shadow, who usually held aloof, could not help but focus all her attention on Margaret after a servant's reminder. Who could have expected that a child of such a tender age would have such a massive psychic power? She was destined to become a magnet for various major forces.
It should be noted that, compared to martial artists, mecha, advanced drivers, and even the Red Cloaks, a psychic superpowered person's asset value was even higher. After all, the former could be achieved through postnatal efforts, while the psychic potency of a superpowered person is innate. Of course, one can also become a psychic through various postnatal practices, but such examples are scarce, and it's almost impossible to encounter.
Those who supported the little girl, including the fat boy, Sheng Qiangwei, Elvis, and Amelia, were only supporting her superficially. Everyone knew Feng Yi's capabilities very well. Even a world-class talent might not stand a chance against him. Knowing this, they dared to tease and laugh, only because they thought it was fun.
The result of facing a psychic superpowered person could be vastly different. The opponent might be easily defeated, or she could easily control Feng Yi. If it's the latter situation, then Feng Yi would indeed be in danger.
Princess Dilia was the most shocked person at the moment. She thought Margaret was already exceptional, so much so that she was a bit envious. Simultaneously, she felt glad that such a young prodigy appeared in Diya. The moment the young girl unleashed her X Ability, it completely shattered Margaret's established perception of her. She undoubtedly had greater potential than Dilia herself, a 12-star commander.
She didn't wait for the battle to continue. Dilia was already preparing to send an urgent message to the Military Department. This child must be cultivated vigorously. Regardless of the result, it didn't matter. Compared to the Federation's long-term policy, Diya's alliance places more importance on every person's innate talent. The higher the starting point, the farther one will go.
Feng Yi lay on the ground for a while after being blasted off before he finally stood up with great difficulty. His defense didn't seem to be as robust as before. After all, he was physically knocked down just now, but this time it was more like a magical attack. The difference was evident. If Feng Yi couldn't overcome this hurdle, he might get eliminated in the first round.
Just as people thought, Feng Yi never stood up after falling down.
Even the big shots of the Federation were somewhat uncertain. Feng Yi had exceptional combat skills and innate battle IQ. How did he get knocked down so easily? Even an ordinary person wouldn't have fallen so dramatically.
Feng Yi slowly stood up, reminiscent of a knight who continued to fight even after reaching the end of his journey. But before he could take a few steps, he was again shot by the Psychic Fluctuation. A seemingly distorted wall of psychic energy appeared out of nowhere and struck Feng Yi.
Boom...
Feng Yi fell. This time, he really fell, and he didn't get up again.
