On the Arena,
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The Flesh and Blood on the Nine-Machine Demon Scorpion began to proliferate, and a large number of chanical parts covered it, but it wasn't resisting; rather, it had fallen into a state of chaos.
The biggest problem for the Blood-Machine Faction is their inability to solve the Rejection Reaction caused by the clash between the Spirituality of flesh and machinery!
The relationship between the Machine Spirit and the Spirituality of flesh is akin to Life and Death; they can coexist, but as soon as the balance is lost, they will devour each other!
But if a Machine Spirit is not born, and only tools like steel plates or prosthetics are implanted, there is no effect!
This was also a point that left countless chanics scratching their heads!
Why do Machine Spirits and flesh act like they have a grudge against each other?
However, the Blood-Machine Faction used a clever thod, transforming the organs of a Flesh-and-Blood Lifeform into a chanical body bit by bit, using the living soul to suppress the Machine Spirit, thereby possessing the advantages of both!
They could grow stronger through self-training,
And they could also command endless Firepower with a body of flesh and blood!
But the Price was…
The Pet Beasts of the Blood-Machine Faction have shorter Lifespans!
Because they are constantly worn down and replaced, until only two options remain…
Either replace it with a superior chanical-type Pet Beast!
Or, through extensive replacent of parts, upload the original pet beast's consciousness, copy it anew, and directly beco an individual of [Thought Immortality]!
The Nine-Machine Demon Scorpion, too, had begun to overload its [Glimring Oil Type-Two Power Core] after suffering heavy damage, and the Machine Spirits born from its nurous chanical parts were also beginning to revive.
If left unchecked, it would likely self-destruct and turn into a pile of Scrap Iron!
"This is bad!"
When Li Yonglian saw this, his heart tightened. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the black-red Dragon Ant move!
Thump!
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The Dragon Ant lifted its Ant Foot, and from within its chest ca a heartbeat like Great Bells and Pipes, shaking the void and causing many people's Qi and Blood to surge.
Just when everyone was wondering what the Dragon Ant was doing,
Li Yonglian and a few Moonlight Rank Teachers had already discovered…
The Dragon Ant's heartbeat had actually started to synchronize with the power core's vibrations, directly suppressing the still-active [Glimring Oil Type-Two Power Core] through the Nine-Machine Demon Scorpion's body.
Thump… thump…
It forcefully began to guide the power core's operation with its own vibrational rhythm, getting slower and slower, until it shut it down completely!
Bringing all Mutation to a halt!
During this process, the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant exhaled boiling black-red Dragon Qi, which spread out with it at the center.
The stones at the bottom of the crater were also corroded, with black-red patterns spreading across them!
Like a Crimson Dragon Ascends to Heaven!
The residual Dragon Breath spread, quickly impacting the precarious Defensive Ritual!
Bang!
With a soft sound, the entire Defensive Ritual was shattered, turning into countless specks of light that drifted away.
As everyone watched this series of actions, a single thought appeared in their minds:
"A Heaven-sent Fierce Man!"
So strong it was despairing!
Moreover, the fact that the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant could forcefully take over the power core with its heartbeat ant… it could also affect the heart rate of other living beings!
But not everyone had the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant's terrifying Physique, especially Beast Tars.
Once synchronized and their heart rate was suddenly accelerated, they would most likely turn into exploding "Fireworks"!
Just thinking of that image sent a chill down many people's spines.
Even with the protection of the Defensive Ritual, they subconsciously covered their ears, trying to find so sense of security!
However, everyone was now clear that the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant's Combat Power had definitely surpassed the high-tier of Morning Star!
The current Lu Yu hadn't even stepped into the Morning Star Rank, yet he already possessed Combat Power close to the Peak Morning Star Rank!
So once he ignites his Heart Spark, achieves Transford Spirituality, and condenses his Spiritual Puzzle Essence, wouldn't he be able to Bulldoze those of the Sa Rank and Counterattack a Luminous Moon Monarch?
It was just that the higher the rank, the lower the possibility of counterattacking!
And throughout human History, there were very few who could counterattack a Monarch with the power of an Overlord!
Every single one of them was a super Monster!
Those who could counterattack a Magnate were even rarer than a phoenix's feathers!
A True King was impossible; they couldn't even cross the threshold of Law!
"This guy… isn't so candidate for the Borderlands' Tenth Prodigy at all, he is the Tenth Prodigy!"
"The most terrifying part is… this guy is not even nineteen.
The youngest of the other nine Borderlands prodigies is five or six years older than him. At this rate, he'll soon catch up, or even vie for the throne of the strongest in the entire Alliance's younger generation!"
"If his growth speed isn't just a flash in the pan, then we might really witness the rise of an Undying Magnate!"
"I don't think it's likely.
No matter how fast he grows, there has to be so logic to it. It's highly probable that the Legacy left by the Dream-Eating Cult contains a Dreamscape that can reverse the Flow of Ti!"
"It's possible.
After all, a nurturing-type Dreamscape would definitely be well-hidden. Lu Yu is really lucky, inheriting the Legacy of a large Order right after becoming a Beast Tar!"
"That makes sense.
Otherwise, this growth rate is too weird. Or he possesses an Ancient King Bloodline!"
"Not only is he lucky, but his Mindset is also tenacious, and his Bond with his pet beast is deep.
After this Match is over and he gets the resources from Imperial Capital University, as long as he doesn't go Courting Death, him becoming a Morning Star Overlord is already a Foregone Conclusion. Today's Lemon is especially sour!"
"…"
While the crowd in the Audience seats was buzzing, the Examinees on the arenas already felt their scalps go numb!
Even Li Yonglian was instant-killed!
Watching the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant Strolling Leisurely, taking a Machine Tail Railgun head-on without a scratch, it was less like it was studying the opponent's weakness and more like…
It was the first ti it had seen a high-end pet beast from the Machine King Domain, its heart filled with joy upon seeing a hunt, so it studied it for a bit longer.
In the end, it only sped up because Lu Yu urged it to!
In contrast, the gap Li Yonglian had been shouting about for so long turned out to be the irreparable gap between himself and Lu Yu!
He was too much of a Clown!
Wang Yan suddenly felt a bit fortunate. Although he was also instant-killed, at least he had spent a long ti making threats, and he wasn't seriously injured, not even Lightly Injured.
Just a scratch!
Rounding Off, he had retreated unscathed from Lu Yu!
Thinking of this, he even felt a little pleasantly surprised!
Indeed, happiness cos from comparison!
However, Li Yonglian, who was being laughed at by everyone, suddenly took a step forward, bowed deeply to Lu Yu, and said:
"Thank you for saving the Nine-Machine Demon Scorpion. I apologize for my previous remarks.
The thirty million we agreed on, plus ten million for dical expenses, I've already transferred to you via the Smart Brain. It will arrive shortly!"
Li Yonglian didn't feel the sting of this loss.
After all, a professional-level dical Team could only heal the injuries, but couldn't stop the Machine Spirit's awakening and the conflict with the Soul.
But the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant had forcefully suppressed it by synchronizing with its Aura and Soul, and with that special armant transformation…
It was infinitely close to the Perfect Life sought by the Machine King Domain!
"Hm?"
Lu Yu raised his eyebrows, not expecting this guy's Mindset to be so strong, and for him to care so much about his pet beast.
But even if Li Yonglian lost the Nine-Machine Demon Scorpion, with his financial resources, couldn't he just raise another one with his [Gu Cultivation Field] Talent?
As if sensing Lu Yu's confusion, Li Yonglian said softly:
"All the achievents of Blood-Machine are built on the Pain of other lives. Even if these things benefit the Human Race, the impression others have has always been very poor."
But the original purpose of Blood-Machine's birth was actually to let the Separation by Life and Death of flesh-and-blood lifeforms… end with machinery!
The Nine-Machine Demon Scorpion was the first pet I raised after my Talent Awakening.
To grow strong with , it requested chanical Modification, entered the Gu Cultivation Field, and fought its way out from among countless chanical Gu Insects.
I was just preparing to upload its mories, but thankfully the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant intervened and gave it a chance To Survive.
So thank you, for saving my Family mber!"
After speaking, Li Yonglian turned and took the Nine-Machine Demon Scorpion to find the professional dical Team, without any hesitation!
He didn't lose his Reason because he was mocked. Instead, he was terrifyingly calm and composed!
The Viewers didn't continue to mock him either!
Although they couldn't bring themselves to like him, a person who loved his pet beast indeed had his own Redeeming Quality!
Li Yonglian walked forward calmly, feeling the gazes on his back, and the corners of his mouth quietly curled up.
What he said was not false; he did love his pet beast. But as an Nth-generation Rich kid born in a Capitalist environnt, the education he received from a young age was to prioritize Benefit.
Since he had lost, he should handle everything properly!
Minimize the negative impact, and even see if he could repair his relationship with Lu Yu and gain more Benefit!
"Ding! Your account…"
Lu Yu knew Li Yonglian wasn't that pure. After all, the best Actors were in finance and politics.
But Lu Yu didn't care. No matter what tricks the other party wanted to play, in the Transcendent world, Might is Right, and he could suppress everything at any ti.
He glanced at the ample balance in his account and instantly felt Refreshed and invigorated, his Eyes even brimming with hot tears!
Our family finally has money again!
The God of Poverty is gone!
"It seems that among the remaining group, only Mu Mu from the Pluto Domain and that person with the Law Seed can contend with him!" Mao Guixian watched this scene and subconsciously reached out to cover her heart, wanting to feel her own heartbeat.
Hmm… the barrier is too thick, can't hear it!
Xiao Ling sighed, "This guy Lu Yu is really ruthless.
It's a good thing Li Yonglian's is a chanical type and can be healed by replacing parts. If it were an ordinary Flesh-and-Blood Lifeform, even with a professional-level dical Team, it would have lost its Combat Ability for the day, and the Examinee would have effectively lost their Main Pet Beast!"
Shang Yuguang stroked his beard and said faintly:
"If you aren't ruthless to others, you'll be the one who suffers!"
"Indeed!"
Li Shu agreed, "This way, probably not many will fight him next, which saves a lot of effort.
It's a good thing for others too."
After all, in the first round, you just need to get enough points to enter the top three thousand.
There's no need to fight to the death. I'm very curious, can Lu Yu defeat that Monster with the Law Seed?"
"Who wouldn't want to know!" several people replied in unison, glancing at Yue Hao who was calmly pushing up his glasses, and they exchanged a smile.
This guy probably doesn't know Lu Yu's Limit either and is just pretending to be calm!
As for how they found out…
What normal person pushes up their glasses dozens of tis in a few minutes?
"I didn't expect to have underestimated this guy!" Luo Zisong looked excited. If there was no one around, he would have shouted a few tis that this was the Kid he had raised!
But besides the surprise, he also felt a little emotional.
He felt that if the Five-Bone Bountiful Bird were with Lu Yu, it might have a more glorious future, instead of being lancholic…
After all, if it weren't for him back then, none of this would have happened!
Luo Zisong's joy faded, and after a mont of silence, he mocked himself:
"My Mindset is becoming more and more like The Wronged Party from a Manga. But once everything is arranged, it'll be just the right ti to put a period on what happened back then…"
"This guy's King of Swagger routines are getting more and more nurous!"
On Arena No.
66, Qi Wei was enthusiastically taking pictures with his cara, the flash flickering frequently. Although he hadn't followed and fild for a long ti, his touch hadn't gotten rusty at all.
In a short ti, he had already shot a large amount of Material of Lu Yu. He could edit it into a College Entrance Exam compilation later, with the title [Borderlands Prodigy Actually Did This in the Imperial Capital].
It would definitely go viral online!
"Um… are you still going to compete?" his opponent, the Examinee, asked weakly.
He felt that there was sothing wrong with the ntal state of the person in front of him!
"Sorry, sorry, I almost forgot the Match wasn't over!"
Qi Wei suddenly realized that he was also here to take the Imperial Capital University Examination.
He waved his hand, and a Summoning Array materialized behind him.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The Silver-armored Baboon, which had evolved into a Gold-armored Baboon, walked out from it.
It was a full five ters tall, its Oppressive Aura palpable!
However, unlike his father's pure gold show-off baboon, Qi Wei's Gold-armored Baboon had thicker fur, and the armor on its body had a purple-gold luster. Its Physique was even stronger; it should be called a Purple-gold Armored Baboon!
Lu Yu had terrible luck but still had endless fortuitous encounters.
Qi Wei, the Kiddo who followed Yu Xiyan around picking up scraps, had also struck it rich.
For example, in a certain earth-attribute Mystic Realm, he had picked up a rare vein of Earth Marrow Purple-gold Ore, a special Gold material.
Its defense and ductility were higher than ordinary Gold, and it contained imnse Earth Marrow Power.
Although Yu Xiyan looked down on it, it was the best evolution material for the Silver-armored Baboon.
After consuming it, its Physique was directly strengthened to a level far beyond its peers!
Rumble!
The Gold-armored Baboon suddenly stomped on the ground, making the arena rumble. The violent tremors spread out, directly causing the opponent's Heavy-armored Mammoth to lose its balance, before being knocked out of the arena by three consecutive Gold-Shattering Fists!
"Alright, it's over.
I'll continue filming now!" the Kiddo said politely and continued to film the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant from all angles.
This pet beast, no matter from which angle you looked at it, was so cool!
This guy Lu Yu's luck was just too good!
The Purple-gold Armored Baboon looked at its stupefied opponent and spread its hands helplessly:
"Snort, snort!"
My Master is a Fanatic Fan of that person,
Please forgive him!
anwhile, the Internet was also in an uproar.
The Imperial Capital University's College Entrance Exam was an event that naturally generated traffic, and any little thing could make it a Trending Topic!
Not to ntion that now Lu Yu was being completely Inhuman, bulldozing his way through, causing fifteen of the top fifty Trending Topics in the Imperial Capital to be related to him!
Among them, the Trending Topic about him defeating Li Yonglian had already gained traction. Although it was only tenth in the Imperial Capital, in the Machine King Domain…
It shot straight to number one!
"This form is absolutely Amazing! That Flesh and Blood and tal can fuse so perfectly!!"
"The Glimring Oil Type-Two Power Core could be taken over by the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant? Could it be that a Resonance was produced?"
"Ahhh, there's not enough footage! I'm going crazy!"
"…"
Countless chanics repeatedly studied the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant in the video.
The mont they saw the Thousand Faces Armant materialize, several Old Antique chanics were so excited they almost couldn't catch their breath!
A few Walking Textbooks nearly died!
After being revived, they said excitedly:
"There's no mistake. This is definitely so kind of machine-like Super-Active tal fused with the Dragon Ant.
No wonder its form is so perfect. It's the Supernatural Workmanship of the world itself!"
To be able to take over the power core, it must be synchronized with the Machine Spirit.
This ans… the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant very likely has a Machine Spirit, and it has probably fused with it.
The reason we say this is because it fused the armant to create special effects, without a single trace of a Rejection Reaction.
Could it be that the path of the Blood-Machine Faction has really been realized by soone else?"
Many Old Antiques from the chanical departnts directly posted a bounty online:
"Who can help ask Lu Yu if he's willing to sell a vial of the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant's blood? I only need 50cc, and I'm willing to pay fifty million. Maybe I can find the stable gene structure of the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant.
The path of Blood-Machine might just take off then!"
"I'm willing too, 30cc is enough!"
"Damn, be a human, you're competing too!"
"I heard Lu Yu passed through the Machine King Domain so ti ago. It's a sha that because The Disciple was Making Trouble, he left early.
If I had known, I would have gone to see him!"
"Blood-Machine Faction, scram! Our Pure chanical Power Faction also needs to study the body structure of the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant. Maybe we can create an Absolute Might model of chanical Beast!"
"Where does that put our chanical Gu Order? This Dragon Ant is clearly good material for cultivating a chanical Gu King!"
"Our Steam Faction has sothing to say…"
"Scram!"
Steam Faction: "…"
Among the Eight Factions, the Three Branch Factions rarely participated in disputes and followed the path of peaceful business.
Instead, it was the Steam Faction that, due to various shortcomings, was at the bottom of the food chain!
The entire Machine King Domain was in an uproar because of this video. In the eyes of these STEM guys and gals, Li Yonglian's Failure was nothing; they just hoped for more data.
Many chanics from the Blood-Machine Faction were also tempted. Since Lu Yu would even help out, it showed that he wasn't a difficult person to get along with.
They could totally try to spend a lot of money to buy information and genes of the Imperial Black Crimson Dragon Ant!
Without needing it to enter a Laboratory, the other party should be able to rest assured, right?
Their Blood-Machine Faction had no shortage of money!
As long as they collected enough data, they could conduct preliminary Simulation manufacturing, create a simple Dragon Ant model, and study its perfect combat structure!
But everyone thought about it and decided not to ntion it. After all, Li Wuxian's own son was swept by the Grassroots Lu Yu, and he had probably Exploded with anger.
Going to talk about it now would be Stepping on a landmine!
anwhile, Li Yonglian, who was replacing parts for his pet beast, received a ssage.
[Li Wuxian: You have disappointed greatly!]
Li Yonglian's breath hitched, and his body trembled slightly.
A bitter smile appeared on his face as the original feeling of being wronged washed over him like a tide.
Compared to outsiders, a Parent's words were the sharpest knives, a critical hit every ti!
But this ti… he had indeed failed his Father's expectations.
Li Yonglian typed a ssage, roughly aning that he was willing to go back and accept Punishnt, and would work hard to beco stronger and defeat Lu Yu.
Everything he had lost, he would take it all back!
The re-invigorated Li Yonglian hadn't even hit send when he received his Father's second ssage.
[Li Wuxian: Why didn't you get beaten for a little longer? I haven't finished inputting the data over here.]
Li Yonglian: "???"
…………………………………………………………
The Match is still going!
Most students would choose to apply to the university in their own Great Domain.
After all, if they failed, they would have to rush to another School, and if they missed it, they would have to wait another year!
But there were still tens of thousands of Examinees applying to Imperial Capital University!
However, in the first round, ten percent, or one thousand people, would be admitted based on their Points ranking, which required a lot of ti for screening.
However, when the number of eliminated people increased to five thousand, letting the remaining Examinees breathe a sigh of relief, thinking their chances had increased, the Referee suddenly announced:
[The score and deduction for each defeat has changed from 1 to 5!]
The Examinees on a winning streak were fine, having at least one or two chances, but The Weak were done for!
Losing one match would wipe out all their points!
And those who had accumulated points would have their achievents easily plundered!
Most importantly, they not only needed to get more Points, but also had to learn tactics to conserve stamina.
Otherwise, even if their injuries could be healed, the ntal Energy fatigue was not so easily eliminated, and it would be difficult to last until the end!
This Examination tested not only Strength, but also Luck!
It could be considered another round of screening by Imperial Capital University!
The atmosphere grew more and more intense!
However, while others were fighting hard for points, on Lu Yu's side, because of Little Mouse's and Little Spider's overly Violent attacks, many people chose to Surrender to preserve their strength!
In fact, there were similar cases, such as Mu Mu from the Pluto Domain, and the one with the Law Seed. Many people also surrendered decisively.
It's just that when it ca to Lu Yu, the Vibe…
Was a little strange!
For example, reciting a bunch of Lines at the start, striking various strange poses, To Stall for Ti, all to compete with Wang Yan and Li Yonglian for battle duration!
Or asking Lu Yu for an autograph on stage, and there was even a Female Beast Tar who wanted a Photo with him. At the end, she even tried to steal a kiss.
If Lu Yu hadn't dodged in ti, she would have succeeded…
Those who knew would know it was a Match, those who didn't would think it was a Lu Yu Fan et!
Finally, the Referee couldn't stand it anymore and directly forbade Examinees from running around randomly, not allowing overly long pre-summoning theatrics, and so on…
Later on, Lu Yu was lounging on a deck chair, sipping cool Barley Tea while enjoying Little Spider's fanning service.
Life was very comfortable!
The Upright and impartial Referee was quite angry when he saw this, so he turned his head…
Out of sight, out of mind!
For that monthly salary, why risk my life?
Soon, an afternoon passed!
The Setting Sun went down, and dusk deepened!
Lu Yu remained in first place, more than a hundred points ahead of second place, a huge lead.
On the contrary, there was only a dozen-point difference between second and third place!
As for Chiyue ng, she had the Tyrant of the Dead Eye to sweep through everything, ranking fifth. Sixth place was Chiyue Honglian, and seventh was Yu Xiyan!
Wang Yan, Li Yonglian, and the others had also fought their way back up!
Even Kiddo had successfully ranked in the top three hundred!
As long as they held on, they could smoothly enter Imperial Capital University!
"Not bad, not bad!" Luo Zisong was greatly gratified!
This year's batch from Great Abyss City High School is truly full of talented people!
The number of Examinees continued to shrink, and when only three thousand remained, the Referee spoke again, and the plundered points soared once more!
Reaching ten points!
The speed of elimination increased further!
Just when Lu Yu thought it would end boringly, the live broadcast screen in the sky began to change.
The new arena opponents were matched, and the resulting screen piqued even Lu Yu's interest. It was actually…
Chiyue Honglian vs.
Yu Xiyan!
"Is it really ?"
Chiyue Honglian looked astonished, not expecting that she would be the first to run into this woman!
She glanced at her adorable Younger Sister, and rembering Chiyue ng's disappointed eyes from not being able to see Lu Yu, her Battle Intent began to burn:
'This Shura Field, Big Sister will be your Proxy Fighter!'
Let defeat Yu Xiyan, snatch Lu Yu,
And Restore the glory of the Succubus Race!
6,000-Word Chapter, asking for Monthly Tickets. Too sleepy, will fix typos tomorrow.
Renovation matters are tiring. A New Story Arc will begin tomorrow, Law Seed… is aweso.
