Chapter 155 Gu Ding Vs Emily

Now, above everyone were the stars of Great Divinity. White rays reflected off Gu Ding’s black mech under the sunlight.

The knees of the black mech bent slightly as it pushed itself off the ground and quickly flew forward, heading toward Emily. Emily stood where she was. Gu Ding’s speed and strength were nothing to her even though he was in a mech. That was why Emily had no intention of evading Gu Ding’s charge. On the other hand, Emily was intent on fighting him with all her strength and speed in order to end it quickly. In a flash, Gu Ding’s mech appeared in front of Emily. However, in Emily’s eyes, his movements were slow. Emily crouched slightly as she moved closer to the chest of the black mech with her knife. According to what she knew, most mechs had their energy tanks located on their chest. If she managed to destroy the energy tank of Gu Ding’s mech, it would be the same as her disabling it. In order for it to be usable again, Gu Ding would need to replace some of the circuit boards around the energy tank.

Terrifyingly strong spiral energy shot out of Emily’s knife. However, Gu Ding reacted by twisting his body right when the energy was about to come in contact with his mech. By doing so, Gu Ding managed to successfully dodge the attack.

Emily was stunned by this. Gu Ding had not acted any faster than her, but for some strange reason, he was able to dodge her attack by twisting his body. The penetration power of Emily’s spiral energy was strong enough to create a hole in a spaceship such as the Grey-faced Buzzard, what more a little mech like Gu Ding’s. Emily originally intended to win the fight in one blow. However, she missed her mark.

Emily’s attack caused Gu Ding to be in a cold sweat. She was much stronger than Gu Ding had expected. She was far too fast for him to even catch a glimpse of her attack. Nevertheless, his long-term training in the Ultimate Arts had instilled in him the instinct of how to react toward such dangerous situations. That was how Gu Ding was able to dodge Emily’s lethal blow.

“You’re not only inferior to her in terms of physicality, but also in terms of gene stability, cell strength, cell regeneration rate, movement speed, nerve response rate, primary power, battle experience, and so on.” Neptune pointed out that the odds were not in Gu Ding’s favor. No matter how he calculated it, Gu Ding’s chance of victory was practically zero based on the current data he had.

Gu Ding did not disagree with Neptune’s statement. Nevertheless, all Gu Ding did was to continue rushing toward Emily. Emily responded by moving to the side and then appearing right next to him. Waving her knife once again, Emily shot out spiral energy toward the right waist of the black mech.

However, just as it was about to hit its target, the black mech twisted its waist once again and barely dodged the attack.

After seeing it happen another time, Emily understood what was going on. She sort of envied Gu Ding for having such powerful fighting instincts. Such fighting instincts were normally developed by a special body art basic similar to the Ultimate Arts. Nevertheless, the two were completely different.

Gu Ding was not too pleased even though he had managed to dodge his opponent’s attacks twice at such close proximity. To him, it seemed like he was only lucky as he was unable to grasp Emily’s movements.

Gu Ding had been able to attack Emily in their previous fight because Bart had interfered with his Spirit Chain, and Benter had increased the force of gravity on Emily by tenfold. Now, it was a one-on-one fight. Those restraints that had held Emily back were no longer around. “It looks like Ultimate Arts Level 7 isn’t enough…” Gu Ding was forced to react passively; he knew that prolonging the situation would only be a waste of time.

“Unlocking Level 8 will allow you to keep up with her speed but only barely. It wouldn’t help much as you still wouldn’t be able to wound her. Besides, you’ll only strain your body with level 8, and you can only use it for half an hour at the most.” Neptune did not attempt to stop Gu Ding. He knew that Gu Ding would never give up without trying everything he could.

“I won’t even stand a chance unless I unlock level 8.” Gu Ding was aware of his situation.

It did not take long for Gu Ding to make his decision after his discussion with Neptune. He was set on unlocking Ultimate Arts Level 8. It would enhance him and increase his combat effectiveness by twenty times-twice of what Ultimate Arts Level 7 gave him.

Emily immediately noticed that Gu Ding had become faster the moment he unleashed Ultimate Arts Level 8. He had become almost twice as fast, and his steps were abnormal compared

The black mech increased in speed as it charged toward Emily like a phantom. Reacting quickly, Emily made a slash to her left. The spiral energy that shot out from her knife was aimed at the joints of the black mech’s right arm. Emily was planning on dismantling the mech’s right arm.

This time, Gu Ding was able to grasp his opponent’s movements. Hence, he reacted immediately by taking a step backward with his right leg and bending his body toward the right. Then, he clenched his left hand into a tight fist and punched Emily’s head.

Emily was no weakling when it came to close combat. However, she was facing a strange opponent like Gu Ding who practiced Ultimate Arts. Hence, she did not have the upper hand.

Emily had not expected Gu Ding’s counter-attack. In an effort to block Gu Ding’s attack, she raised her arms. Gu Ding’s first attack had a strength index of about 300 thousand points. Hence, adding 600 thousand points to his current attack, its strength was about 900 thousand points.

The attack was close to that of a Rank 9 Gene Body’s maximum capabilities.

Emily was forced to move a few steps backward due to the force generated by the powerful punch. Even though it did not injure her, it still brought Emily tremendous shock.

Gu Ding’s mech possessed only ten thousand attack points. However, it managed to create a massive attack that was close to that of a Rank 10 Gene Body’s attack. It meant that Gu Ding’s unique ability and combat technique had enhanced his usual combat effectiveness by around 100 times. It was something out of the world.

The fact that Gu Ding could enhance his usual prowess by 100 times meant that he would be able to make a great leap of about two levels while in battle if he was able to become a Rank 8 Gene Body. It was not a strange occurrence for someone to cross two levels while in battle before one became a Rank 8 Gene Body. That was because one’s combat effectiveness could only be enhanced tenfold after crossing two levels. On the other hand, when one became a Rank 8 Gene Body, one’s battle effectiveness would increase ten times for each level crossed.

Emily could not help but feel curious about Gu Ding. She was eager to find out what strange capabilities Gu Ding possessed.

It was only when Emily had been forced backward by Gu Ding’s attack that the Interstellar Pirates realized how powerful Gu Ding was even though his combat effectiveness was much stronger while in the mech. Emily was a Rank 10 Gene Body, and for Gu Ding to be able to effectively counter-attack a Rank 10 Gene Body, it meant that whoever had the mech on was not too far off from becoming a Rank 10 Gene Body as well.

Gu Ding continued attacking after successfully landing a hit. Close combat was Gu Ding’s specialty. Even though Emily was stronger them him, and she had enough destructive energy to instantly destroy the mech in one attack, Gu Ding would not lose the fight as long as he was careful.

Emily realized she was stuck in a strange situation. She was stronger than her opponent. However, it seemed like she might not be able to win the fight.

Each time Gu Ding closed in on her, she would coagulate primary power in her left hand while she thrust the knife in her right hand at the chest Gu Ding’s black mech. The spiral energy would generate within the knife and burst out as it was shot at the head of the black mech.

Nevertheless, Gu Ding cocked his head to the side in response, easily avoiding the spiral energy that was shot out. As for the attack from Emily’s left hand, it did not faze Gu Ding one bit. He merely threw a punch at her left hand, countering her attack with an attack of his own.

The moment Gu Ding’s fist made contact, he felt a strong force move along his robotic arm. Hence, he quickly retreated backward and redirected that strong force to land beneath his feet, creating two cracks on the ground that were long and deep.

Emily was not any better. She stepped back with her right foot, moving backward to negate the force from Gu Ding. There was a sore feeling in her arm, and she could clearly feel that Gu Ding’s attacks had increased in power. It was not a force that could be achieved by a Rank 9 Gene Body. Instead, it was a force that had a cell index of around 1.8 million points and most likely belonged to a Rank 10 Gene Body. The force of Gu Ding’s attack was quite close to Emily’s own strength. This resulted in a huge wave of shock for her. How was it possible that Gu Ding could enhance his attacks to such a high degree? If it was not for the primary power within her left palm, she would have taken damage from Gu Ding’s attack.

On the other hand, Gu Ding was shaken by Emily’s terrifying primary power. He had felt something blast the mech’s solid metal, creating a strong anti-shock within it. It was then that he finally understood why Sharp and the others were able to use primary power to go head to head with Biggie’s sword.

However, Gu Ding also knew that Emily had taken half a step backward. It meant that his attacks on Emily were not without their effects. Even with her primary power, Emily had been forced to take half a step back. It was proof that his attacks could potentially harm his opponent.

Gu Ding became slightly excited upon this discovery and immediately lunged at Emily in another attack.

Emily was beginning to have a bit of a headache with Gu Ding’s continuous attacks. He seemed to be able to dodge her attacks each time. Moreover, every time he made a move, it was more vicious than the last. She also noticed that Gu Ding did not seem to be getting tired and was becoming quite fearless. Emily had fought with numerous opponents before, and she was well-aware of how scary such an opponent could be. She frowned slightly when Gu Ding lunged at her.

The fist of the black mech quickly found itself colliding with Emily’s fist once again. This time, Emily felt that the strength of her opponent had decreased greatly. Gu Ding’s black mech flew backward due to the strength of Emily’s attack.

It has to be said that after three rounds of Damage Stacking, the stacking effect would return to zero. This time, Gu Ding’s attack was only around 600 thousand points. Nevertheless, Gu Ding managed to stand up and steady himself as he continued with another attack. The mech’s black fist once again clashed with Emily’s fist, but this time, Gu Ding was forced to take only a few steps back from the burst of the attack.

This time, Emily could clearly feel that Gu Ding’s attack had become stronger again. She could vaguely sense that Gu Ding’s ability was similar to that of Damage Stacking or Additional Damage. Nevertheless, there was a limit to such abilities. Once the ability reached its limit, its effects would regress to zero and the calculation would be reset. That was why Gu Ding’s attack damage had decreased. Gu Ding was about to launch another attack at Emily for the third time when he saw a figure not too far approaching their direction at a high speed.

The figure was not considered very huge. It was Sharp, and he was carrying the very large body of Biggie on his back…
