Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 516 - 403 Dream Tao Saint Tribulation_2

If things went as expected, what he was experiencing right now should be the encounter Han Jiuming had outside the Martial World.

After a long while, Hong Yuan’s eyes gradually regained their clarity, and he roughly understood the situation here.

He had taken on the identity of Han Jiuming and ventured outside the Martial World. Currently, he was serving as a designer for the Sky Splitting Team of Flame Dragon University. He was about to partner with Ji Yunjin, a friend from the combat department, to participate in the "Meta-Universe Mecha+" competition. Their goal was to reach the global university finals, and perhaps even the Baihe System university finals.

His identity was that of a third-tier mecha designer, capable of designing third-tier mechas!

Hong Yuan unexpectedly discovered that in this Dream World, there was no Aperture system from the Martial World, only a soul system.

One would specialize in cultivating the soul, then use a mecha as a body, able to switch bodies at any time, thus achieving an alternative path of cultivation.

What surprised Hong Yuan even more was that the Refining Tao system was not established here at all!

That means I can directly adapt the Holy Artifacts and peror Artifacts from the Martial World and mechanize them. This is the key to my success in this Dream World challenge!

...

So, to achieve sainthood through the Dream Tao, I need to lead Ji Yunjin to a good result in the "Meta-Universe Mecha+" contest, preferably making it into the Baihe System university finals...

Having experienced several Dream World challenges before, Hong Yuan quickly realized what he needed to do this time.

However, he had never imagined that he would continue to play the role of "Han Jiuming"!

This development surprised Hong Yuan considerably.

His Demonic Body hadn’t just been idly staying in the Dragon God Sacred Land. In the various Scripture Pavilions there, Hong Yuan had secretly collected information about the Great Moon Saint Han Jiuming. He knew that Han Jiuming, in his later years, had ventured out of the Martial World alone to explore the world beyond.

Perhaps this is a trace Han Jiuming left behind.

However, Hong Yuan speculated that Han Jiuming might have encountered some major change, which is why he temporarily became an ordinary university student...

"Han Jiuming?"

"Han Jiuming?"

Hearing Ji Yunjin call his name again, Hong Yuan snapped out of his reverie. "Hmm, I was just thinking about something," he replied.

"Heh." Ji Yunjin’s smile didn’t reach her eyes.

Feeling Ji Yunjin’s disrespectful attitude, Hong Yuan couldn’t help but shake his head and chuckle inwardly.

Although he didn’t know what exactly the Great Moon Saint Han Jiuming had encountered outside the Martial World, the fact that a young woman like her could control him, using him as a mere Artifact Refiner, struck Hong Yuan as rather unbelievable.

Even if he had lost his power, Han Jiuming’s disposition and methods alone should have prevented him from being controlled by a young woman like Ji Yunjin.

Unless... Han Jiuming himself had willingly discarded his numerous advantages!

"I understand now. I will take this matter seriously. Let’s log into the Meta-Universe. I need to assess the current state of your strength," Hong Yuan said calmly.

Hearing Hong Yuan speak in such a tone, impatience flashed again in Ji Yunjin’s eyes.

If it weren’t for her senior, Ming, having gone to the White Bird Kingdom for advanced studies, she would never have chosen to partner with a loser like "Han Jiuming"!

Who was Hong Yuan? Calling him a ten-thousand-year-old demon wouldn’t be an overstatement. He quickly noticed the look in Ji Yunjin’s eyes, but his own expression remained gentle, not even a frown creasing his brow.

In his heart, Ji Yunjin was already marked for death!

No matter the outcome, he would firmly control Ji Yunjin, ensuring everything proceeded according to his will.

He absolutely could not fail this trial to achieve sainthood through the Dream Tao!

Therefore, Hong Yuan didn’t want to concern himself too much with Ji Yunjin. After all, she was merely someone already doomed.

Although Ji Yunjin was just a young woman in her early twenties, she was already quite scheming. After Hong Yuan finished speaking, she smiled sweetly and said, "Alright then, Jiuning, let’s meet on the virtual battlefield in the Meta-Universe."

She quickly walked over to a nearby pink chair, sat down, and put on the black Virtual Space Consciousness Sensor.

This was the Virtual Space Consciousness Sensor. It used special energy to connect the user’s consciousness with the constructed virtual space, logging them into the virtual network.

Hong Yuan also strode over, picked up a black Virtual Space Consciousness Sensor, and examined it with wonder.

This virtual space is almost comparable to the Treasured Yellow Heaven and my own Dream Medidation Fight.

Before long, Hong Yuan logged into the Meta-Universe virtual space and entered the virtual battlefield Ji Yunjin had created.

It was a desert landscape. The setting sun hung high in the sky, radiating waves of scorching heat.

"Jiuning, I’ll show you my mecha combat abilities. I’m going to pilot Penguin Corporation’s most expensive mecha model!"

"The Steel Emperor Penguin!"

Ji Yunjin said excitedly, her face alight with joy.

Hong Yuan’s brow furrowed, feeling a surge of pressure.

Often, it wasn’t a matter of the stronger the mecha, the better. One had to possess the necessary skill. Lacking that, it was undoubtedly asking for trouble.

And the Steel Emperor Penguin was a seventh-tier mecha, transcendent and extraordinary—definitely not something a university student could handle.

RUMBLE—

Blue and white light flashed dazzlingly as a formidable, predominantly blue and white humanoid mecha descended. It seemed as if cast from white clouds and ice, looking supremely holy.

The twin blades slung across its back, between its shoulders, inspired awe in anyone who merely gazed upon them.

In past years, competing mechas in the "Meta-Universe Mecha+" contest were often modeled and expanded based on it. However, this expansion involved reducing modules, not adding them. So, piloting such a seventh-tier mecha was undoubtedly asking for trouble!
