The prerequisite for completing the mission.
Lu Xing needed to find a creature with lower limbs.
In this regard, Ranger-class and Rotor-class Honkai Beasts were imdiately excluded. The only choices left were humans and Knight-class beasts.
Although the mission difficulty wasn't high.
Lu Xing acted with extre caution.
The city wasn't very large, and the number of Honkai Beasts wasn't as exaggerated as he had imagined.
In yesterday's battle, the Knight Captain had mobilized nearly half of the city's anti-air capabilities.
This was intelligence Lu Xing had gathered this early morning, slowly scouting deeper from the city's outskirts—
No Honkai Beasts of a higher tier than Knight-class were found throughout the entire city.
A large number of Ranger-class and Knight-class, complented by a moderate number of Rotor-class and a very small number of Ballista-class, constituted the Honkai Beast ecosystem of this naless city.
Lu Xing guessed.
The presence of those Rotor-class beasts was likely not intended to deal with him.
Compared to attacking agile Ranger-class beasts, their [Crystal Shot] was far more effective at intercepting human missiles and aircraft.
Considering the Honkai Beasts' assembly speed and pack numbers, Lu Xing had probably accidentally stumbled into a battle between the two sides.
As the cannon fire gradually subsided.
The initiative now lay with Lu Xing.
————
"Knight-class."
Lu Xing road around the area controlled by Honkai Beasts.
After searching for over half an hour, he finally found a lone Knight-class.
Learning from past mistakes.
After locking onto the target, Lu Xing ticulously searched a wide circle with a radius of over 500 ters. Once he confird there were no ambushes or reinforcents nearby, Lu Xing launched his surprise attack on the Knight-class.
Swoosh.
Aided by the acceleration from [Dash], Lu Xing's streamlined body covered the distance of just under 30 ters, charging straight towards—
The asphalt road beneath the Knight-class!
That's right!
Knight-class beasts, unlike Ballista-class or Chariot-class, weren't fond of pumling their enemies.
If possible, they would absolutely use the knight lances in their hands to viciously stab their opponents, rather than letting their "beast bodies," which contained the Honkai Core, attack targets by trampling.
Doing so would expose their unarmored underbellies.
No creature would willingly expose its weakness, and Honkai Beasts were no exception—the reason Ballista-class beasts imdiately rolled backward to flee after their [Ballista] was destroyed was precisely because their weak point was exposed.
In a direct confrontation.
The Knight-class would most likely not step on him. Moreover, if the engagent dragged on for too long, he feared it would attract the Knight Captain's army again.
Therefore, Lu Xing had devised this surprise attack plan.
The speed of his [Dash] wasn't particularly fast; a Knight-class could definitely dodge it in an instant with its reaction ti.
The premise was... it had to lift its hoof!
Bang!
But Lu Xing had miscalculated!
The reason this Knight-class hadn't joined the main Honkai Beast forces—most Knight-class beasts Lu Xing had spotted in other directions appeared in squads of 4 to 12—wasn't for any special reason, but simply because it had just been born not long ago!
Honkai Beasts could evolve.
But their evolution would not transcend their own species.
The limit for an ordinary Ranger-class was "Great Universe," or equivalent tiers like "Black Demon" or "Sky King." Anything beyond that would only be an increase in level.
Apart from racial leaps triggered by the birth of a Herrscher.
The only ones capable of transcending racial limitations and continuously growing stronger were the "Finality-class," which had yet to be nad in the current era; and even if they were nad, only a very few could be called "Finality-class."
Regarding the above information.
Lu Xing only knew the first half.
After all... he hadn't even figured out what ti period of the Pre-Honkai Era he was currently in.
————
This information was important.
But whether he had it or not, it didn't stop Lu Xing from changing his approach.
A newly born Knight-class was considerably weak. Although its initial level was Lv.15, it was severely lacking in combat experience.
Of course, a contributing factor was also Lu Xing's lack of "correct awareness" of his own strength.
Faced with the incoming [Dash].
The Knight-class failed to react at all—this dazed behavior, ironically, forced Lu Xing to alter his attack path.
Bang!
His body, perfectly parallel to the road surface, suddenly exerted force a second before hitting the Knight-class. Using the power of his "jet," he instantly completed a 90-degree vertical switch, flying past the Knight-class, hugging its body tightly!
Soaring into the air, then a sharp dive!
Lu Xing no longer expected this fellow to proactively use the "stomp" attack. For the sake of self-sufficiency, he decided to take matters into his own hands—
"[Power Strike]!"
Considering the Knight-class couldn't even react to a weakened version of [Dash], Lu Xing was even more careful this ti, condensing a [Power Strike] with only a quarter of the original's power.
His Honkai energy-infused wings didn't even dare to form a blade edge.
Instead, in a flat, brick-like form, he "heavily" slapped it down on the Knight-class's head!
Thwack!
The sound alone told you it was quite spirited!
The [Power Strike] worked as hoped; the Knight-class instantly beca dizzy—the violently震荡 Honkai Core caused it to lose control of its body.
The opponent's level and resistance were very low; the stun effect of [Power Strike] would definitely last the full 2 seconds, perhaps even longer.
This amount of ti.
Was more than enough for Lu Xing.
The wing that had stunned the Knight-class gave a light push, and Lu Xing's body traced a perfect protractor curve in mid-air, about two ters high, smoothly rushing beneath the Knight-class.
Then, in the final half-second before crashing into the ground, he used his wing to scoop and lift the Knight-class's foreleg!
Thud.
————
"Satisfying!"
Although he wasn't sure of the exact reason, Lu Xing indeed felt an extraordinary sense of satisfaction from that stomp:
"Your mission (Be Stepped On) has been completed."
"You have obtained a new item [Knight Lance]."
The system announcent was quite brief.
Two lines of text flashed through Lu Xing's mind.
Imdiately after... Lu Xing hadn't intended to kill the Knight-class, but the Knight-class died because of him.
The location where the [Knight Lance] appeared was quite "precise"—because Lu Xing was lying right under the hoof, this lance, appearing in mid-air, descended from the sky and plunged straight into the Knight-class's head.
Such a bizarre and unpredictable attack.
As a newbie, the Knight-class was completely unprepared.
Although it wasn't pierced clean through, its Honkai Core was hit dead on... The sharpness of the [Knight Lance] was evident.
Then, with a ding, it dispersed into a shower of light particles.
Just like that.
Lu Xing had successfully completed the first random mission of his Honkai-life and obtained a powerful advanced weapon.
Although Lu Xing was pondering...
How he was supposed to carry this weapon, which was longer than his own body, back.
