Chapter 865: Luck, Insanity Or Confidence?
“That was some serious luck?”
“Impossible! there must be something wrong with my eyes!”
“It must have happened by chance, this is definitely not his own strength. He will not succeed if he does it again, I guarantee it!”
“That was absolutely unbelievable, I can’t think straight. How did that happen?”
“Oh my G.o.d!”
“My eyes aren’t tricking me, right? Did you see him succeed? Is this true? Seriously? Hey, I think my brain is slightly malfunctioning. That success was too sudden, and I didn’t have any mental preparation beforehand! Did he really succeed?”
“I was going to say that he would fail. The word ‘failure’ was already lodged in my throat, but h.e.l.l, he succeeded!”
When the onlookers and the beasts reacted, they all jumped frantically as if they were the ones who were launched as cannons. The atmosphere was rather chaotic with their exclamations
Their expressions were full of amazement.
Only the Eagle King and the Poisonous Bee Queen looked at Yue Yang in horror.
The two leaders with King-level strength have enough visionary abilities to see that this was not a coincidence at all,— it was all completely from his own source of strength. The reason why this young man succeeded was because he had enough confidence. Otherwise, he would not be able to casually launch his beast that was trained into a Holy Beast at will. He must be certain, although they didn’t know where this certainty of his came from!
Could it be that the wisdom of this young man could not be stumped even in the second task, which was actually commonly acknowledged as the most difficult test to go through?
The Sickle Weasel and Ryoma looked at Yue Yang blankly at first.
Both were in a state of disbelief for a moment.
But after getting the absolute affirmation of his success, the two couldn’t help but embrace each other and let out a few cheers as tears of excitement gushed out. Now, they have truly made up their minds— no matter what, they must follow this young man. He can definitely create miracles and can definitely bring towards their freedom!
The choice of the Poisonous Queen Bee was not wrong either. This young man with such outstanding wisdom was indeed the most trustworthy.
When everyone thought he would fail, he could easily achieve it.
In the blink of an eye, everyone was figuratively slapped on the face by his achievement!
Boom!
In the test field, the power of the Law has reset the field. There were now three high towers protruding from the ground. Among them, the piglet to be killed was in the middle tower. In addition, there were four huge rocks uplifted in all four directions to ensure that there would be no way to make a straight-lined shot against the tower. The worst part was that all three towers were supported by tree stumps around them. Even if the shot managed to hit the tower, it would be unlikely for them to fall. And if the tower does not fall, the piglet hiding in the middle tower would not die.
Student Yue Yang took a look before he placed the Reaper Mantis on the slingshot launcher.
“Wait, it’s different from what it was just now, so think about it first,” The Sickle Weasel hurried up to stop Yue Yang. Even the blind could also see that these three towers were much more difficult to hit compared to what it was before.
“There’s no time limit, so you can take however long you want. If you need it, we can be the examples to simulate it for you,” Ryoma was even willing to simulate itself into a Battle-Beast sh.e.l.l for Yue Yang to practice his skills and gain experience before attempting the actual thing.
“For such a simple thing, there is no need to go through all that trouble,” Yue Yang pulled the slingshot launcher and let it go.
Whoos.h.!.+
The Reaper Mantis wrapped in the light of the Law was once again launched like a cannonball.
The onlookers were dumbfounded again—
was this kid really stupid or is he just messing around? He didn’t even think of anything and made the shot just like that; did he think that he was a G.o.d?
No one would fail this test if it was that easy to succeed. If that was truly the case, why would there be so many losers in the Beast Valley? If so, could the unprecedented record of the Beast Valley remain the same and unbroken?
From this point of view, if this kid was not naturally born as an idiot, then he might have a few screws loose.
Doesn’t he know what failure is?
Without letting the onlookers ponder too much, the ball of light that was enveloping the Reaper Mantis had already drawn a beautiful arc and landed far at the base of the last high tower. The ones with particularly sharp eyesight like the King-level leaders Eagle King and the Poisonous Bee Queen, or the residents and beasts with special sensory abilities, figured that the light ball where the Reaper Mantis was located had accelerated slightly before hitting the foundation of the tower.
The well-informed senior monsters or senior residents have heard of the second Battle-Beast Sh.e.l.l test.
In the second test, the beast that was wrapped in the Law would temporarily gain the ‘Flying Collision’ skills, which would aid in accelerating movement and aggravating the impact.
It’s just that no one knew why this ability was acquired and why it wasn’t any other ability. If the mystery of the Flying Collision could be solved, then they believed that many intelligent people were very likely to calculate the greatest success rate.
Rumble!
The Reaper Mantis first broke a supporting log like a cannonball.
Then, she was slammed into the base of the third tall tower, smas.h.i.+ng a deep hole in it as the third tall tower shook. “Ah, this is bad!” The oldest beast exclaimed, “The shaking angle is not enough and the force of the impact is not strong enough either. Last time, Lord Hong Lie failed just like this.”
“So it was a coincidence just now!” the Toad King’s men could not wait to exclaim in pride.
“Go on, keep moving!” The two expressions of the Sickle Weasel and Ryoma were tense as they held their breath. They were both rubbing their hands vigorously, as if doing so would help shake the tower. The Poisonous Queen Bee no longer looked at the swaying tower, and instead, diverted her gaze at Yue Yang. She found that student Yue Yang was smiling, his confident expression making the Poisonous Queen Bee stunned and relieved at the same time.
How could he just casually launch his beast to death? Sure enough, he had absolute confidence that it would succeed, so why am I still worried about him? This is so stupid!
The third tower has been shaking.
The Toad King’s men kept yelling for it to stop, but there were other beasts that yelled for it to keep shaking.
They felt that it was a pity should he just fail like this. It’s better to let this kid succeed again, and then look at his painful expression when he fails a harder test later on.
It’s too early for this kid to lose now; it’s better to lose at the fourth or the fifth times. When that happens, the look of the bitter and saddened expression of that kid would be the most satisfying thing to watch. So, they would rather let this kid remain proud for a while! The beasts were making a ruckus, jumping and screaming about, whereas some of them were nice enough to give the tower a blow to add some force. Although all of these were useless, they had a lot of fun.
The tower gradually tilted, and finally, it hit the middle tower.
However, the strength was insufficient. The tall tower in the middle shook for a while, but it did not collapse.
Did he fail?
All the onlookers began to express looks of despair as the subordinates of the Toad King screamed wildly. What does it mean if the middle tower did not topple? It means that the little piglet will not die. Hence, the challenge was a failure!
Just when everyone thought the failure was affirmative, suddenly, the third collapsed tower slipped down a bit. Although it was not enough to collapse the middle tower, it successfully smashed the spire of the middle tower. The spire fell down, stumbling, before it finally hit half of the first tower. With a bang, several long spears were smashed from their midsection.
The broken spears broke off and turned into flying arrows.
Surging.
One of them cleverly pa.s.sed through the window of the tall tower in the middle, impaling the piglet inside.
The piglet hit the spear and exploded immediately.
And the Death Praying Mantis, which was floating under the base of the third tower was instantly teleported back to Yue Yang’s hands. The people watching on the sidelines of the test site were flabbergasted once again. This kid is way too lucky, right? From the original doomed failure, it changed time and time again, to the point where there was even something as futile as a broken spear that was the killing blow of the little piglet. If it hadn’t been for such a shot, this kid would have failed!
Needless to say, this was definitely luck!
No matter how smart anyone could be, it would be impossible to calculate this.
None of the spectators had any objections when they arrived at this conclusion. Everyone thought that Yue Yang made random explosions of luck, and even the frightened Sickle Weasel and Ryoma didn’t dare to guess that this was calculated long ago.
Only the Eagle King and the Poisonous Queen Bee shook their heads, sighing.
In the eyes of the two King-level leaders, if this was not calculated early, then there would be no such thing as a calculated plan in the world.
Not only was it calculated early on, but he had also taken the acceleration point and the aggravated falling points into consideration. If it weren’t for the shot hitting the log and breaking it, the third tower would not have collapsed toward the middle tower. If the shot had hit at a spot just slightly above the base, then the third tower would not have hit the spire of the middle tall tower. If it didn’t hit the spire, then it would not have fallen onto those few spears that were meant as obstacles for the Battle-Beast Sh.e.l.ls.
If it hadn’t hit the spears that blocked the tower, there would have been no such result!
This was most definitely not a coincidence.
They were both 100% sure— the young man had calculated all these in advance for sure. It’s just that his calculation speed was too overwhelming, not even showing the others the methods of his calculations. The accuracy of launching his beast was much greater than other challengers who calculated for days and nights!
Faced with such an insanely talented newcomer, the Eagle King and the Poisonous Queen Bee have nothing to say.
When everyone thought that those sharp spears were used to stop Battle-Beast sh.e.l.ls, this young man flipped the thought and used them to succeed.
And he did it with such ease.
He achieved results that others couldn’t despite all their hard work!
“Y-you, do you still want to launch more?” The spectator beasts and residents were shocked when they discovered that student Yue Yang was ready to launch again.
“I’m dizzy!” Some beasts couldn’t bear the powerful anxiousness with their hearts.
“Can’t you let us catch our breath?” Some residents felt that their nerves were almost snapped.
“Take a rest, time is really not a problem!” Even the Eagle King couldn’t watch any longer before it spoke to persuade him.
The test field on the opposite side has been reset. Eight towers, five of which were on the ground, and three small towers, which were supported by rocks. This time, there were as many as three piglets that had to be killed instead of one.
A Battle-Beast sh.e.l.l had to cross four rock walls, blast through five tall towers, collapse three small towers and kill three piglets.
Is this possible?
I believe that even the craziest lunatic in the world will shake his head when he sees it, thinking that it would simply be impossible!
Student Yue Yang stroked the small forehead of the Reaper Mantis. He locked her lips with his own into a light kiss through the light of the Law before he put her on the slingshot launcher. What others saw was a kiss of encouragement, but only the Poisonous Queen Bee remained the most focused as she watched them carefully. In fact, Yue Yang had said something to the little one, so there must be some tactic in play.
To complete the second test, the beast must cooperate tacitly. However, as the third test is now more difficult, cooperation between the two would be more than essential.
The Poisonous Queen Bee didn’t know what Yue Yang had said to the Reaper Mantis.
However, the small face of Reaper Mantis still portrayed a smile, obviously confident in her owner. When he was putting her on the slingshot launcher, she still clenched her small fists amidst the light of the Law, seeming to cheer for herself.
Whoos.h.!.+
Yue Yang ignored the expressions of the people around him and directly fired at the Battle-Beast sh.e.l.l of the Reaper Mantis.
Unlike the previous times, he took one brief second to aim his shot.
The Reaper Mantis that was wrapped in the light of the Law had once again drawn a perfect parabola as she flew towards the target of the test field. All the while, the onlookers looked at student Yue Yang’s gaze.
There was the same expression on everyone’s faces.
s.h.i.+t, this kid is an actual lunatic!

[TL note]:
It’s been a month since I’ve started tl-ing LLS, so it’s not unfamiliar territory (not much anyway, still some confusion though) but please do let me know if there were terms that I have used incorrectly like the names etc. Thanks and look forward to the release!
