The Ultimate Divine Class-Chapter 540 - 415: I Told You, Let Me Carry This Game. Asura State, Three Flowers Gathering at the Top!
"Swish——"
Lu Yuan didn’t have time to inspect the results of his last attack, appearing almost instantly behind the injured Yu Wentong.
The several dozen-meter tall Dharma Body extended its eight arms, carefully cradling Yu Wentong as if holding a precious treasure.
Yu Wentong shook his head and stood up from the "palm" of Lu Yuan’s hand with one hand on the ground.
Lu Yuan’s expression was far from relaxed.
He noticed several puncture wounds on Yu Wentong’s body. Although the wounds had contracted and were slowly healing under the covering of a purple shimmering light, the internal injuries were still unknown.
Yu Wentong’s combat suit was also stained with a large patch of blood.
"I’m almost done on my side."
Lu Yuan glanced in the direction of the previous battle group and saw the old man in a black robe he had just fought curling into a ball in an awkward posture.
His silver armor extruded a large amount of silver threads wrapping him layer by layer, seemingly turning him into a ball.
With his spiritual power perception, Lu Yuan sensed that the aura of the old man in the black robe had weakened significantly compared to before.
Lu Yuan knew exactly how vicious his "Dharma Body. Eight Elephants Devouring Dragon" strike had been.
Besides exploiting the extreme outburst under the "Three Flowers Gathering on Top" secret technique, he also used the lv2 Bursting Secret Technique.
This punch landed solidly on the opponent, reducing him to a "dormant" state curled in a ball, a testament to the formidable armament suit he was wearing.
"Next, let’s go together."
Lu Yuan said word for word.
He saw the "Elite Monster" that just fought Yu Wentong arriving beside the old man in black, clearly dissatisfied with the latter’s ball-shaped state.
Seemingly muttering a few curses under its breath, it then turned its cold, murderous eyes directly at Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan met the gaze head-on and, to provoke further, manipulated his Dharma Body to make a "throat slit" + "pinky down" gesture towards it with a cold smile.
This action indeed agitated the enemy greatly.
After the gesture, the other party’s gaze became inexplicably colder, its murderous intent intensified tenfold.
"By provoking him like this, be careful he doesn’t chase you down..."
Yu Wentong reminded from the side.
But Lu Yuan was indifferent, "This is exactly the result I wanted."
Infuriating the opponent, causing them to lose composure.
This could increase their chances in the upcoming battle.
While redirecting most of the aggression onto himself, easing some of the pressure on Yu Wentong and giving him a chance to catch his breath.
It’s a win-win strategy.
"You can’t withstand it."
Yu Wentong shook his head, "I can’t withstand it either.
If he hadn’t only wanted to capture me alive, I might have already been dead."
"Hmm?"
Lu Yuan looked at Yu Wentong in surprise.
It was the first time he had heard such words from the exceedingly proud "Lord Tong Tong Tong."
"You don’t understand."
Yu Wentong said calmly, "This guy is wearing some kind of top-notch lifebound armament inherited from mechanical soldiers.
His speed, strength, energy burst...all are over a hundred times above a regular tenth-stage Star Spirit Realm.
The one you heavily injured before had about one-fifth of his strength, or even less...."
"That’s really exaggerated?!"
Lu Yuan was startled, then quickly asked, "What is a mechanical soldier inheritance?"
"The mechas you’re familiar with evolved from the Lifebound Mechanical Soldiers of Starry Sky Warriors.
Mechanical soldiers are an important part of the Starry Sky Martial Path’s legacy.
You can think of opening a Star Cave and lighting up a Life Star Chart as akin to Pure Martial Fighters forging their bodies and refining their power.
And the lifebound mechanical soldier is akin to the weapon in the Pure Martial Fighter’s hands.
Not just a weapon, but also a shield, armor, every means that can greatly amplify combat power....
A Starry Sky Warrior with a lifebound mechanical soldier inheritance is on a completely different level compared to one without it." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"No wonder..."
Lu Yuan mumbled.
No wonder the old man in the black robe became so much stronger, at least ten times more, after donning his armor compared to when Lu Yuan first saw him without it.
It was all due to the so-called lifebound mechanical soldier enhancement.
"Star Spirit Realm warriors lack the eligibility to refine true mechanical soldiers, yet even in armed form, the boost to strength is significant...
We cultivators of the Starry Sky Martial Path from these low-civilization planets have never received this part of the legacy, have we?"
Lu Yuan asked.
"Yes."
Yu Wentong’s eyelashes dropped slightly, he said in a low voice, "This is also another reason I have to leave after this trial."
Remaining on the surface of the planet, neither can one integrate with the planet’s will, nor can one acquire this critical part of the lifebound mechanical soldier’s legacy.
This is the sorrow of those born in low-civilization worlds.
The interruption in legacy leaves even a once-in-a-generation genius like Yu Wentong subject to the restraint of people from higher civilizations.
Lu Yuan suddenly understood.
The reason the difficulty gap between the first stage of the trial, between the tenth and eleventh levels, was so vast.
Previously he couldn’t understand; could the fusion of one’s spiritual power with a planetary will bridge such a frightening gap in physicality?
There was a key metamorphosis point between the tenth-stage Star Spirit Realm and the Star Lord Realm—
That was the lifebound mechanical soldier inheritance!
The quality of the Life Star Chart depends on talent, while the quality of the lifebound mechanical soldier depends entirely on one’s origins.
