Sky-cracking Rider

As soon as Chen Fei arrived at the Comprehensive Center of "Abyssal Gladiatorial", he caught the attention of Miyoshi Xuesen, just as planned.

Peng Shutian, who came out of nowhere, suddenly rushed over and clung to Chen Fei's thigh, becoming an unexpected variable. Just when the Monk was about to have someone relieve Chen Fei, he noticed that the "Plagiarist Ghost" and his little team had already arrived nearby.

Miyoshi Xuesen immediately dismissed the idea and didn't act rashly.

The design team leader who had just been fired by the National Defense Star Aerospace Company was always an insignificant character from beginning to end.

When he saw Chen Fei kick Peng Shutian, sending him flying toward the "Plagiarist Ghost", the Monk was overjoyed.

It seemed like an accident, but it wasn't really an accident, perfectly controlled; probably no one would suspect that it was intentional disguised as unintentional.

Almost two hundred pounds of weight plus the added velocity almost suffocated the "Plagiarist Ghost" on the spot, who was caught completely off guard.

"Fuck, Scott, are you okay?"

The friends scrambled to pull the "Plagiarist Ghost" out from under Peng Shutian, then they all glared angrily at Chen Fei.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

"Looking to pick a fight, kid?"

"Come over here and apologize now! Or I'll beat you up!"

The team of supernatural power users, with a sense of superiority and pride somewhat above ordinary people, naturally adopted a nasty attitude when their companion was "attacked".

Seeing this, the surrounding crowd thought it best to clear out, as one wave of chaos had barely subsided before another arose; it was safer to stand back. They quickly dispersed, keeping their distance from each other.

Those who were more timid, afraid of getting caught up in the fray, simply decided not to watch.

"Sorry, sorry, this was purely an accident."

Chen Fei raised his hands and stepped forward.

"Scott, how are you feeling? Do you need to see a doctor? Hey, kid, don't walk away. It's all your fault."

The "Plagiarist Ghost", now going by the name Scott, and his team didn't realize Chen Fei's seemingly rightful approach had an ulterior motive.

"Of course, of course, a full body check, medical expenses, compensation for emotional distress, loss of wages—I'll take care of it all."

Chen Fei spread his hands, looking at the "Plagiarist Ghost" who was somewhat dizzy and being supported by his friends.

Being smashed to the ground by an almost two hundred pound man was definitely not a pleasant experience.

"You said it, we'll be watching you."

"Don't even think about running away, come with us!"

Since Chen Fei was willing to take responsibility, the supernatural power team didn't curse any further. After all, it was just a bump and being pressed to the ground, not a stab with a knife. As long as there were no broken bones, there usually wouldn't be any serious harm.

"Can I have a look first?"

Chen Fei moved one step closer to the "Plagiarist Ghost".

"Uh, what are you doing?"

The "Plagiarist Ghost", still woozy, suddenly became alert.

His sixth sense for danger had saved him from threat after threat, and he vaguely felt that this careless fellow in front of him was somehow not right.

"I should show some concern, right?"

Chen Fei chuckled, still three steps away from him, and didn't continue to press closer.

"Uh, where am I?"

Peng Shutian, who had been knocked out cold on the ground, finally started to come to at this moment and groaned.

The hit had certainly been hard on the person who was struck, but for Peng Shutian, who had been used as a human cannonball, he was quite out of sorts as well.

Chen Fei gave him a light kick with his foot.

"Gah..."

The nuisance obligingly passed out again.

This much-despised fellow awoke nobody's sympathies; being sent home to fend for himself was not undeserved at all.

"You, that's not very nice, right?"

Watching this scene unfold, the "Plagiarist Ghost's" mouth twitched. How deep of a grudge could there be?

Chen Fei shrugged his shoulders, unconcerned, and said, "No worries, this guy's too superfluous."

Neither he nor the Miyoshi Monk had factored in this Peng Shutian in their plans. The nuisance being knocked out was also for his own good; otherwise, he would have lost his job and then his life, leaving an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child behind.

"Superfluous?"

The "Plagiarist Ghost" was puzzled, wondering how deep the resentment, how bitter the hate.

Chen Fei said calmly, "Xiao Jiu, 'Light Burst Flash'!"

"Jiu?"

The next second, a dazzling burst of light enveloped a radius of three meters.

Little Bird's "Light Burst Flash" had become even more proficient, catching everyone off guard.

"Ah! My eyes!"

"What's that? I can't see!"

"So bright! It's blinding!"

The move didn't just affect the supernatural power user team but also the bystanders who hadn't yet dispersed. Almost without exception, everyone who turned to look was caught in the flash, clutching their eyes and crying out in pain.

A mere second rank Light-based spell of the Human Order, its effect was surprisingly effective.

If it wasn't for the need to capture him alive, Chen Fei and Xiao Jiu had at least a hundred ways to kill him on the spot. The 5 million Star Yuan reward from the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee was not even half undeserved.

"Who are you?"

The "Plagiarist Ghost" finally confirmed the source of his earlier bad premonition—it was this young man in front of him.

"The one who's capturing you!"

Chen Fei's words had not yet finished when he flicked a metal chain out of his hand, quickly wrapping it around the other party three times and then three times again, binding him tightly from arms to legs.

The two-finger-wide alloy chain, under the control of Metal Elemental Psychic Power, locked itself tightly. Not even an elephant could hope to break free.

"You think you can catch me?"

Unexpectedly, the "Plagiarist Ghost" suddenly struggled with force and shouted, "Light Burst Flash!"

Dazzling white light exploded.

"My eyes!" ×N!

Another burst of frantic shrieking ensued.

"What?"

Chen Fei was taken aback, but his hand suddenly felt lighter.

The alloy chains that bound the adversary crumbled without warning, each and every link shattering and clinking to the ground.

With a whoosh, the "Plagiarist Ghost" darted out.

Thanks to Xiao Jiu's habitual use of "Light Burst Flash," Chen Fei was immune to the same tactic.

"He got away again!"

Miyoshi Xuesen, who had been paying close attention to the scene, suddenly jumped up.

He hadn't expected that the cunning "Plagiarist Ghost", even without making contact with his psychic peers, was still able to seize the chance to escape.

It meant that the adversary already had copied other people's special abilities, and more than one at that.

"Think you can run? Little Bird, mark him!"

Little Bird took to the sky, Chen Fei scoffed, stooped low, and countless tiny geometric shapes burst forth from his body. They formed and disintegrated simultaneously, swiftly enclosing his entire body.

The "Dragon King" Assault Heavy Armor with the most magic array inscriptions of any single soldier tactical armor completed its evolution.

Chest: Wind Cone (2) ×1

Back: Air Burst (2) ×1

Lower back: Fluid Vortex (2) ×1

Left arm: Wind Blade (1) ×1

Right arm: Blazing Flame Bullet (1) ×1

Legs: Gravity (1) ×2

Total Magic Array Inscription units: 10/20

The magic arrays that Chen Fei currently commanded were more suited to the "Dragon King", which was optimized for giantization, as well as combat aircraft.

Bam!~

The thrust from the "Air Burst (2)" magic array on the back of the "Dragon King" Assault Heavy Armor propelled Chen Fei like a human missile, roaring into motion.

The "Wind Cone (2)" magic array on the chest released a conical air shield, reducing frontal air resistance to a minimum and maximizing the efficiency of the "Air Burst (2)" thrust.

Even though he started a step later, Chen Fei's speed was not slow, and the distance between him and the "Plagiarist Ghost" visibly closed rapidly.

Not to mention, a Pure Light Sparrow, even faster, was keeping a firm eye on the target.

"Eh, eh, eh?"

"What the heck is going on here?"

"Hey, hey, Scott, where are you going?"

"Hey, jerk, that one, you, stop!"

The "Plagiarist Ghost"'s psychic teammates finally came to their senses.

The metal chains scattered across the ground left them puzzled—Scott was supposedly a psychic ability user, so how could he so effortlessly break free from all-metal chains, and also cast "Light Explosion Flash"? Was it a spell or a special ability?

Most importantly, why did that strange young man want to chase Scott—what grudge did they hold against each other that would warrant killing to silence the other just for a collision?

They all chased after them, trying both to stop the pursuit between Chen Fei and the "Plagiarist Ghost" and to understand the truth.

"Stop those superpower users!"

The Miyoshi Monk finally made a move.

Although the "Plagiarist Ghost" had not been captured on the spot, judging by Chen Fei's displayed abilities, it wouldn't be easy for the target to make a successful escape.

Several ninjas with enhanced Dark System Abilities went after him, using "Shadow Flash" to advance and keep the "Plagiarist Ghost" under surveillance.

Miyoshi Xuesen's Dark Element psychic ability was also restrained by the adversary's "Ability Copying", and the ninjas with the Dark System Abilities couldn't escape it. As soon as contact was made, it would mean giving their abilities to the "Plagiarist Ghost".

Apart from the ninjas, the other members of the Huntsman Squad went to intercept the "Plagiarist Ghost"'s fellow superpower users to prevent any interference with Chen Fei's pursuit.

These were contingency plans that the Miyoshi Monk had prepared in advance, and now they had to be put into action.

"Rookie, you must succeed!"

Miyoshi Xuesen fell back onto the straw mat and continued to monitor the capture operation through the feeds from numerous drones and surveillance cameras spread throughout the Comprehensive Center.

His special ability was only handy when granted to others for execution; he wasn't good at confronting enemies head-on.

Therefore, the most suitable position for him was to stay in the headquarters, coordinating and commanding from the center.

-

Stealthily looking back, not seeing the fellow who had feigned a collision to ambush him, he was shocked to see a single soldier tactical armor in pursuit.

That one glance was enough to scare the "Plagiarist Ghost" so much that he nearly lost his soul.

"Who are you? Why are you trying to catch me?"

With a sudden resolve, he pulled out a diamond-shaped object and squeezed it hard.

The next second, a silver light expanded and contracted, and he disappeared from the spot.

"He's gone!"

Chen Fei in the "Dragon King" Assault Heavy Armor landed at the spot where the "Plagiarist Ghost" vanished, looking around.

"Tweet!"

Little Bird descended from the sky, landing on the "Dragon King" Tactical Helmet.

Chen Fei looked up slightly and said, "Little Jiu, use 'Light Mirror Spell' to find that guy."

The "Plagiarist Ghost" was nowhere to be seen within the field of vision, but Little Jiu's "Light Mirror Spell" could expand the view to a much larger area, and might yield some results.

"Adam, take over the surveillance system here and start facial recognition!"

Adam: Accessing OTES surveillance system. Authorization obtained. Number of surveillance cameras: 3548. Commencing recognition.

Adam: "Plagiarist Ghost" spotted, location fixed, 5 kilometers to the southwest. Projecting electronic map.
