Misunderstanding (1)
Edward dodged every attack while glaring at Ye Lang, looking for a chance to hit him hard. In his heart, he was now certain Ye Lang either had other intentions or was here to cause trouble!
Based on his impression of Ye Lang so far, he felt like the latter was more likely!
Ye Lang didnât seem to realise anything was wrong. He shot consecutively at Edward, while Edward ran and dodged for his life. It even looked like heâd accidentally hit Edward with one.
It didnât look like Ye Lang was about to let Edward go either. Had Ye Lang forgotten his own objective?
At the same time, Kesha gripped Feiâs hand hard, worried sick for Edward. Fei felt every bit of her anxiety.
Nonsense, how could she not? Sheâs going to break my fingers!!
âKesha, can you loosen your grip? Donât forget, youâre a martial artist!!â complained Fei, struggling.
âAh, I forgot! Apologies, Fei. Hope youâre alright,â Kesha immediately apologized, her face red as the sunset. She was very pretty indeed!
âIâm fine, nothingâs broken!â huffed Fei.
âOh, thatâs goodâŠâ When Kesha finished, her attention was once again on Edward.
ââŠâ Fei didnât feel like commenting on this. Sheâd understood the coal-black guy in front was Edward. Although she never took notice of him, and theyâd only met a few times, she was certain.
Only Edward would make Kesha so worried. Also, she had a strong imagination. In her mind, she could morph past Edwardâs face into the current, much darker Edwardâs face to find they matched.
Fei was puzzled too. Why did he want to make himself black? It didnât seem like being black helped him at all, but rather hurt his chances.
They didnât know it wasnât on purpose, he had no choice!!
âWhy are you dodging? Come forward, are you dumb?â
Ye Langâs voice rang again. Edward was finally certain Ye Lang didnât forget about their objectives.
Edward also realised Ye Langâs shooting position always stayed the same, he always shot in a way that Edward could barely dodge.
To outsiders, it looked very dangerous but in reality, there wasnât any danger at all. No one would be able to tell it was fake.
Edward wondered if Ye Lang was controlling the shooting rhythm on purpose. How did he do it though? It seemed to difficult!
That was true. It was indeed difficult. If it wasnât for Ye Langâs thorough understanding of Edwardâs abilities, he wouldnât be able to do it either!
Of course, it wasnât as simple as understanding Edwardâs abilities. Even if other people understood it, they wouldnât be able to do this. Unless they were absolute experts, then theyâd be able to attain this almost effortless look.
However, this was only in terms of martial techniques. Using an alchemy weapon like Ye Lang made it even more difficultâŠ
Any alchemist wouldnât be able to do this. Even the brightest of them all would find it very hard to control the weapons.
There was too much calculation involved. They had to calculate Edwardâs speed and strength, the pistolsâ firepower, environmental factors etcâŠ
This would trigger a huge commotion if anyone in the alchemy world knew Ye Lang could do all of this without a single mistake. However, there werenât any alchemists present so no one cared.
Even if they were there, they wouldnât care either because theyâd think Ye Lang was truly attacking Edward.
Only Edward knew of this, and he wasnât an alchemist- he knew almost nothing of it. Therefore, heâd probably be a little weirded out but not dig deeper.
Edward didnât have time to think about anything else either. He hurled himself forward as instructed!
At this moment, he felt very stupid for not even thinking of moving forward. Heâd been dodging the bullets in one cornerâ if his opponent wasnât Ye Lang, and it were truly a life-or-death battle, the consequences would be unfathomable!!
Edward also noticed something like a path among Ye Langâs attacks for him to safely pass through. This could only be seen by him, people watching from the outside wouldnât be able to tell.
The audience felt like Ye Langâs consecutive attacks were very consistent and had nothing glamorous to it. However, the power of his attacks never faltered- this was one of the strengths of alchemy.
If it were a martial artist or magician, theyâd still have to work the earthly essence of magic. They wouldnât be able to just stand on the spot and fire a weapon.
Of course, this was referring to the usage of an alchemy weapon, but not alchemy formations. Alchemy formations were the most complex, more inconvenient than martial artists and magicians.
This was another characteristic of alchemy, the fighting technique mastered by the least number of alchemists. It was too complicated! If they had the capabilities, might as well spend the effort on martial arts or magic. The results theyâd get would definitely be a lot better.
And because of that, a person who wanted to increase their fighting skills would never touch alchemy!
Theyâd, at most, use an alchemy item as a supplement to their skills, i.e. Princess Longjiâs Vermilion Bird feather vest.
However, as top fighters, they wouldnât want to use items like this because it felt like cheating, and theyâd be dependent on it, affecting their skills!
It was not allowed!!
As Edward inched closer, Keshaâs anxiety levels increased. It was the sort of anxiety you feel before victory! Everyone would be nervous during the moment before victory, especially if youâre watching someone you cared about!
Everyone knew that Edward getting closer to Ye Lang was already equivalent of winning half the battle. He had the chance to defeat Ye Lang.
Based on an alchemistâs fighting techniques, it was common knowledge that if someone, especially a martial artist came close, the alchemist would lose his advantage.
Edward was a martial artist, so now he could unleash his true capabilities, heâd definitely be able to defeat Ye Lang! Yep, that was what everyone thought, especially Kesha!
