Chapter 267 Two People at the Pinnacle of Talent
The humanoid mecha opened its back, spewing out gusts of air and soaring into the sky.
"Tracking Type II Explosive Bugs, fire!" Zhang Kai shouted.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
A large number of mechanical insects, each the size of a human head, flew out and swarmed towards Jiang Yuan, who had just stepped out of the center of the explosion.
"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!"
An even larger explosion than before swept across the surrounding area.
The flames roared.
"Wow... This is a mad scientist?! He's incredibly powerful?!"
"The destructive power is a bit too much."
Many students who witnessed this scene were dumbfounded.
Zhang Qi asked blankly, "Why is he ranked eighth?"
He Xuanjia nodded, then said blankly, "It feels like in terms of personal destructive power, she might even surpass the minister..."
Ye Jiuling said, "That's true. In terms of individual combat prowess, he should rank in the top three. But his weaknesses are also obvious..."
"Weaknesses?" Zhang Qi and He Xuanjia looked at her.
Ye Jiuling remained silent.
"How is it?!"
"You've tasted its power, haven't you?"
"This is the great power of science!"
Zhang Kai stared at the area ahead engulfed in flames and let out a wild, arrogant laugh.
"Data never lies. I've got you covered. You're finished!"
The electronic screen in front of him accurately displayed the signs of life amidst the explosions and artillery fire, with various data constantly fluctuating and displaying four words.
[Locked Up]
"Oh?"
"Is that so?"
A calm voice rang out.
The electronic screen in front of Zhang Kai suddenly started flickering, the data became chaotic, and the four large characters "Lock Complete" became blurry and distorted.
Zhang Kai was astonished: "What happened?"
Swish!
A dark shadow flashed and appeared in front of the mecha in mid-air.
"!" Zhang Kai exclaimed in shock, immediately activating his protective shield, "Magnetic Elemental Shield!"
The magnetic shield, powerful enough to withstand an attack from an eighth-tier ferocious beast, was shattered by a single punch as soon as it appeared. The terrifying force of the punch pierced through the mecha's shoulder like a beam of light.
Even the rescuers Yan Runan, Sikong, Jiang Yan, and Long Ci were too late to stop it.
Zhang Kai's pupils contracted. "?!?!"
The heavily damaged mech lost its balance and fell to the ground.
The boy in black looked down at the falling mech and said calmly, "Your weakness is a lack of imagination."
Zhang Kai's eyes widened: "...Huh?!?!"
Ye Jiuling, who was in the distance, was also stunned.
His weakness isn't that he relies too much on machinery, making his physical body too weak?
Jiang Yuan, clad in the Claw of the Fire Dragon, held a demonic sword in his right hand, while his left hand, adorned with the Blood Sacrifice Gloves, extended forward. He said, "Talent is related to technology, so let's go all the way down that path. Advancing technology while pursuing physical strength is putting the cart before the horse."
"It's just that you only pursue firepower output, and your combat style is too one-dimensional."
"Watch closely."
As he finished speaking...
tick-
It sounded as if a clock was ticking.
A phantom image of a giant brass bell appeared behind Jiang Yuan, and a brass-colored domain unfolded, instantly enveloping the surrounding area, including the fallen humanoid mecha and the broken fragments.
"Mechanical creation".
Jiang Yuan uttered four words softly.
Just before Lin Qingyan, Sikong, Long Ci, and Yan Runan launched their attack.
Amidst the shocked and astonished gazes of thousands of student mentors, as well as Nan Yue and others.
Zhang Kai's mechanical armor was forcibly stripped off, and the broken parts were rapidly fused together and reassembled into eight white squares, which hung around Jiang Yuan, releasing terrifying electromagnetic waves. These squares combined to form an electromagnetic barrier that enveloped Jiang Yuan, blocking the attacks of the four top geniuses.
"?!" Lin Qingyan and the other three were stunned.
This is not over yet.
Jiang Yuan snapped his fingers.
The eight squares shattered, separated, and recombine to form four mechanical cavalrymen wielding spears and shields. Their eyes were cold as they stared at the four men. The reactors inside their bodies were burning fiercely, the meshing gears were spinning rapidly, and steam was gushing from their backs, generating extremely strong electromagnetic forces that converged towards their chests like a torrent.
"boom!!"
Four extremely destructive electromagnetic cannons roared out.
"Danger!" Jiang Yan's hair stood on end, and he immediately used a teleportation item to avoid the attack.
Long Ci hurriedly steered his dragon to avoid the danger.
Sikong, Lin Qingyan, and Yan Runan also hurriedly dodged, not daring to take the hit head-on.
Two electromagnetic cannons shot into the sky.
One beam tore a kilometer-long rift in the ice field, while the last beam blasted into the distant grassland, creating a huge mushroom cloud and forming a crater a hundred meters deep.
Zhang Kairen was completely dumbfounded when he realized what was happening.
"ah?!"
The thousands of students and instructors in the distance were also stunned, staring blankly at the black-clad figure standing in the sky above the frozen lake.
"What did I see?"
"have no idea."
"I don't understand, can anyone tell me what happened?"
"That attack just now was comparable to a full-force strike from an eighth-tier ferocious beast, wasn't it?"
"Isn't that Zhang Kai's ability? Why...?"
"Your abilities have been taken away?"
"No, it feels like I've become stronger."
……
"Bang!"
Zhang Kai crashed onto the ice, but thanks to his protective gear, he suffered no damage.
Ignoring everything else, he looked up in disbelief and asked, "What, what are you doing?! How did you do that?"
"What do you mean? Do you mean I forcibly took control of you, or this...?"
Jiang Yuan smiled.
He snapped his fingers again.
The four mechanical war riders shattered once more, then reassembled, transforming into a three-meter-tall war rider. It wore a dragon helmet, silver armor, and had the core of a reactor on its chest. It had wings on its back, and its silver armor was lustrous and perfectly detailed, exuding power and beauty, technology and classicism, elegance and violence.
【Guardian.0】
Zhang Kai trembled all over, incredulous, as if he were seeing a god. "You, you..."
Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "So-called technology is about turning imagination into practical power."
"Is it really possible to do that?" Zhang Kai murmured.
Jiang Yuan opened the newly popped-up message and casually said:
"Haven't you already seen it?"
"A chain reaction of explosions!"
"Heavenly Wind Golden Blade".
Two high-level spells from Jiang Yan blasted towards Jiang Yuan.
But this time he didn't even dodge.
Swish!
Guardian 0 opened his eyes, azure light flashing within them. He raised the large shield in his left hand, deflecting both high-level spells and sending them flying back.
"Boom!"
It bent its legs, leaped suddenly, and vanished instantly. With a sonic boom, it reappeared in front of the giant dragon high in the sky, raised its sword, and slashed out!
The dragon's protective shield was cleaved in two with a single sword strike!
Startled, Long Ci hurriedly tore open an eighth-level defensive scroll, creating a storm shield that blocked the attack.
The oppressive Guardian 0 was about to continue its attack.
Not wanting the dragon to get hurt, Long Ci hurriedly said, "I...I surrender!"
Jiang Yuan shook his head and said, "Being too concerned about summoned creatures is not a good thing for a summoner."
Crack!
A flash of lightning, moving at a speed invisible to the naked eye, rushed towards Jiang Yuan.
He swept out with a single halberd strike.
The air seemed to collapse inch by inch like glass, with tremendous force.
Jiang Yuan raised his left arm and blocked the blow with his bare body!
"Bang!"
"boom!!"
Endless thunderbolts transformed into countless electric snakes, sweeping wildly in all directions and lashing the earth. Terrifying shockwaves, mixed with gale-force winds, swept across the area, instantly flattening hundreds of meters around Jiang Yuan.
Yan Runan, Jiang Yan, and the others had no choice but to retreat.
As the icy fog dissipated, lightning crackled and surged.
Looking at the two figures in the center.
It wasn't just the thousands of students and instructors who were instantly excited.
Nan Yue, Chen Zhen, and the others also looked serious.
Ye Jiuling, Long Ci, and Chi Guang, who were eliminated, didn't even blink.
The two most dazzling geniuses of the Great Xia Golden Age have finally clashed head-on!
The absolute prodigy who has consistently held the top spot in the academy for years—Sikong.
And... the legendary, the strongest in history, the newly appointed professor—Jiang Yuan.
"Wow, that's impressive! It even blocked my lightning halberd attack with all my might so easily. No wonder it made you a professor." The handsome Sikong, clad in lightning armor, exclaimed in admiration.
"You must be the top student in the academy? I've heard about your reputation for a long time. If that's all the strength you have, I'm going to be disappointed," Jiang Yuan said with a smile.
"Why……"
Sikong scratched his head in distress. "Although I feel I'm no match for you, if it's a seventh-tier opponent against a fifth-tier opponent, I'd still be easily beaten. Even I would feel frustrated."
"I'll try my best, and I hope I won't let you down."
Sikong laughed heartily, holding his halberd in one hand, took a step back, and said in a deep voice:
"Please, enlighten me!"
He closed his eyes and then opened them again, golden light bursting forth, his martial arts aura mixed with lightning pouring out!
boom!
In an instant, the academy's top combatant unleashed his full power, and an incomparably violent bolt of lightning transformed into a purple pillar of light that shot into the sky!
The academy's top prodigy, unleashing his full power!
