Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 1244 - 1213: Rival

The tactical jets streaked across the sky like meteors, flying from east to west and from south to north. Luckily, the First Sovereign's airspace is vast, unlike those of the small sovereignties, where a single boost would...

However, in reality, small sovereignties often introduce new Sky Knights and "show off" (or declare their presence) to their neighbors as a normal move.

If you're not convinced, just come and fight me!

Neighboring countries without Sky Knights can only watch with envy. Sky Knights mean air supremacy; without Sky Knights, there is no air supremacy. Being weak is the original sin. Who cares about empty chatter?

Airspace equals the combat radius of a Sky Knight's Crystal Jet, no different from the truth measured by artillery shells, essentially the same.

The rule of the jungle is an eternal truth.

The training assessment standards and requirements for each sovereign's Sky Knights are largely similar. The First Sovereign's standards are relatively stricter, even preferring quality over quantity. However, the entire Sky Knight group possesses both quantity and quality, fully deserving of Blue Star's First Sovereign international status, given the large population base, numerous and powerful.

Because of these high requirements, Chen Haiqing, as Chen Shan's father, was particularly worried about some things.

It's best to pass in one go, otherwise, there will be diminishing returns. Once this morale is lost, it will become increasingly difficult in the future.

The tactical jet's body hovered near the sound barrier threshold, continuously tearing through extremes. Within visual range, only the rumbling of thunder could be heard, but closer in, some crackling explosions could be heard, like someone clapping faintly. As the distance closed, this strange sound became clearer and sharper.

Close in to within a kilometer, it felt like a world-shaking slap. If within two hundred meters, the oncoming air shock wave was a real physical slap, capable of instantly swelling the entire face.

After two hours airborne, the tactical jet returned to the airspace above the airport, smoothly sweeping through at ultra-low altitude, then making a light turn back to hover above the apron, slowly descending vertically.

"Little Shan, you did great!"

Elder Sister rushed up first, and the other three sisters pushed the boarding ladder together, wanting to place it on the plane's body, just cooled down.

Regardless of the results, the younger brother must have given his all and deserved the family's encouragement and support.

Elder Sister and brothers-in-law were all present, witnessing the highlight of the younger brother's life.

Chen Fei gave a thumbs up from afar at the tactical jet's cockpit, beautiful flying!

The younger brother deserved to be bullied, but praise shouldn't be stingy when deserved. Beat him up, praise him once, beat him up, praise him once...

This should explain why Little Shanzi fears Chen Xiao'er like a mouse to a cat.

Shen Fei observed and made his judgment, speculating: "Chen Fei, seems like it's half-stable! Right?"

It meant that the Northern Weapons Industry Group had a high possibility of securing this cooperation order.

The Crystal Jet vehicles for Sky Knights have always been funded by sovereign finances. Custom-made combat aircraft have high design and manufacturing costs. Even the poorest sovereigns will tighten everyone's belts to gather the last pennies for their Sky Knights' custom rides.

Even if sharing Chen Shan's vehicle customization budget with National Defense Star, the Northern Weapons Industry Group will take the lion's share due to the presence of the Nangong Team. This is also an invaluable experience, making the hidden benefits even more significant. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Chen Fei's personal gains were even greater—the prototype jet belonged to him, and the specialized team's assistance to improve it was entirely free. Little Shanzi's Crystal Jet was a pure fodder jet for him.

"Next, it depends on the Sky Knights' decision, nodding YES or shaking their heads NO, which shouldn't be bad news."

Chen Fei glanced at one of the Sky Knights, Ding Xiu, who was discussing with the other three Sky Knights. It seemed they were exchanging opinions on their respective scores. The personal subjective scoring of the Sky Knights was the first trial; exchanging opinions was the second trial; the final unified corrected result was the third trial, eliminating personal subjective bias and emotional opinion.

Noticing Chen Fei's gaze, Ding Xiu turned his head to nod at him, quietly leaking a bit of information. The specific details still need personal speculation.

"Oh, does this mean passing?"

Chen Haiqing, who was also focused on the four Sky Knights, noticed a moment of tacit interaction between one Sky Knight and Chen Fei, seemingly conveying some information. But it didn't seem like bad news, otherwise it would've been a headshake, not a nod.

"Hmm! We can proceed with the afternoon's training preparations. Failure would mean Little Shanzi's current capability remains at theory-only level, unable to reach true Sky Knight entry level."

Although Chen Fei was not a true Sky Knight, he had considerable experience dealing with Sky Knights, particularly using tactics to counter those from outside the First Sovereign.

He came from a wild background, debuting in real combat, slaying dragons immediately, reaching the ceiling. He later supplemented theory in the American Federation's "Eagle Nest" private training class but still couldn't compare to Chen Shan, who received formal training. However, his insight wasn't far off.
