The Ultimate Divine Class-Chapter 584 - 3: Parasite

"Damn, this kid still dares to run?!"

The boy speaking caught up in a few steps and kicked the fleeing boy to the ground.

"Let... let me go! I don't want to go down... Why do I have to go down? Clearly, you guys were the ones who insisted on bringing me here…"

The cowardly boy who was trying to escape was dragged back by his hair.

He struggled desperately, but his height and build were far inferior to those who grabbed him, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free.

As he was dragged, the satchel he was protecting like a treasure was torn open, scattering a few books.

"Smack!"

The cowardly boy was dragged to the front of two others and thrown heavily onto the ground.

The leader coldly looked down at him without a word.

It was another person who crouched down and reached out to flick through the scattered books.

"'Mechanical Theory Introduction', 'Mechanical Construction Science', 'Basic Source Energy'..."

"Tsk tsk..."

A lackey boy with green-dyed hair and protruding cheekbones looked at the cowardly boy with amusement and said, "Xu Mingguang, don't tell me you're still thinking of becoming an Energy Mechanic with these books?"

The cowardly boy quickly grabbed the books from the ground and held them close, lowering his head without a word.

He was indeed secretly preparing for the level one Energy Mechanic certification, and he went out late at night for a tutoring class.

But he unexpectedly ran into the school bully, who took pleasure in tormenting him, and was forcibly dragged into a car, ending up here.

By now, his tutoring class was almost over.

"An Energy Mechanic? As if he's qualified?!"

The other lackey who had kicked him stepped forward with disdain, grabbed his hair, and made him look up, saying coldly, "Hurry and obediently put on the protective gear and go fetch the meteorite for Young Master Lu. Don't make me kick you down there..."

The coward's face flushed as he bit his lip, looking defiant despite the threats.

"Looking for a beating, huh?"

The lackey he was glaring at shook with rage and was about to slap him hard but was stopped by a voice.

"Enough."

The speaker was the leading boy.

The leader, previously called "Qi Yuan" and now "Young Master Lu," gave his two lackeys a cold glance, saw their guilty expressions, and finally frowned at the cowardly boy.

"Xu Mingguang."

He thought for a moment and said, "You want to take the level one Energy Mechanic exam, don't you?

Without practical experience, just theoretical knowledge won't get you through.

You know, I have an actual level one Mecha.

If you're willing to go fetch the meteorite for me, I'll let you study the Mecha afterward..."

Hearing this, cowardly Xu Mingguang's eyes noticeably brightened, his defiance slightly softened.

What he said was true; level one Energy Mechanic knowledge was still too complex and opaque for him.

Many things couldn't be understood just by reading books.

He was biting the bullet, paying high fees for extra classes outside school because sometimes there were real Mecha parts displayed there.

But with dozens of students in each class, the display time per part amounted to just a minute, sometimes only a few seconds per student.

What can you do in a few seconds?

Nothing could be studied.

What's more, the parts shown in classes were all obsolete pieces from scrapped Mecha models, incomparable to the latest level one combat Mecha Lu Qiyuan mentioned.

If Lu Qiyuan really let him study the Mecha for a few days, his chances of passing the level one Energy Mechanic exam would increase significantly.

The cowardly boy's eyes shone with interest, clearly tempted.

The leader seamlessly captured this flicker of interest and, losing patience, urged, "If you've decided, quickly put on the gear and get down the hole.

I don't have time to waste here..."

The cowardly boy nodded vigorously. Having made up his mind, there was no point in hesitating.

He truly put down the books and satchel he held, rose from the ground, and roughly wiped his face before starting to don the protective gear.

Seeing his clumsy moves, the leader looked somewhat impatient, glanced at his two lackeys, and commanded, "You two, go help him!"

The two, relieved for now, didn't dare dilly-dally and quickly stepped in to assist.

Together, the three soon had the cowardly boy suited up in the protective gear.

He was fully encased in the heavy, bulky protective suit, and as he walked to the edge of the meteorite pit, hesitated briefly and then resolutely jumped in.

"Whew—"

Seeing Xu Mingguang actually go down, the green-haired lackey breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That fool... actually jumped in..."

"Qi Yuan... are you really going to lend him your Mecha to study after he fetches the stone for you?"

The other lackey queried the leader.

With a snort of disdain, the leader said, "Lend, my ass!

Last time I dueled that fool Bokale, my Mecha's total damage reached 70%. It's at the factory for major repairs.

My old man was so pissed, he banned me from touching it for three months...

If he wants to see it, he can ask my old man. If he manages, all the better for him."

Hearing this, both lackeys laughed, looking towards the pit as if staring at a fool.

The green-haired lackey suddenly said, "They say Xu Mingguang's ancestors were Duoling nobles. Is that true?"

The lackey beside him scoffed, "Noble, my ass?

His parents were both ordinary factory workers, what aristocrat could end up like him..."

"I heard Xu Mingguang has a sister, and she's quite pretty."

"Tsk... We'll have to get this kid to bring his sister out..."

The two teenage followers chatted idly beside the pit, occasionally letting out a few wicked laughs.

The leading teenager, however, kept his focus on a virtual screen in his hand, which was connected to a probe on his protective suit, allowing him to monitor the situation inside the pit in real-time.

"Enough, all of you shut up!"

The leading teenager suddenly cursed, causing the two followers to fall silent immediately. They turned to look and saw a cluster of golden light appear on the dim screen in the leader's hand.

The heavy breathing of Xu Mingguang could be heard, seemingly mixed with suppressed pain, indicating that a Level 1 protective suit could not fully isolate the various chaotic unknown radiation energies inside the pit.

Nevertheless, the image was slowly moving closer to the source of the golden light.

"A meteorite emitting golden light... If made into a craft, it would certainly be beautiful.

Venia would definitely like it..."

The leading teenager's eyes were fixed tightly on the golden mass in the image, its light flashing, filled with much anticipation.

Just as the three were intently waiting for the meteorite within the pit to be revealed, suddenly...

A faint rumble could be heard overhead.

"Damn it!"

The three looked up, vaguely seeing a point of blue light swiftly approaching them.

"The patrol Mecha is coming!"

"Damn it!"

The leading teenager became anxious immediately. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Seeing that success was within reach, he could not bear the thought of failure at such a critical moment.

"Xu Mingguang, hurry up! Hurry up and get over there... you idiot, is it really that hard to walk just a few steps?"

He urged Xu Mingguang at the bottom of the pit through the screen, even bursting out in anger.

The latter said nothing, only responding with increasingly heavy breathing.

The image was about to get close to the golden light source, but then.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion erupted from within the meteorite pit.

The ground shook, nearly causing the three standing at the edge of the pit to lose their balance.

A blaze erupted from the pit towards the sky.

As the three looked in horror at the sudden dramatic change in front of them, a figure lying on the ground near the pit drew their attention.

A tattered protective suit, which was originally snow-white, had been charred black by the flames.

Who else could it be but Xu Mingguang, who had gone down into the pit?

Blasted out of the meteorite pit by the explosion, Xu Mingguang curled up on the ground, seemingly clutching something tightly.

"Could this guy be blown to death?"

The three stared dumbfounded at Xu Mingguang in the distance.

Suddenly, the leading teenager among the three looked at the increasingly close blue light and seemed to make a decision.

Biting his lip, he dashed like an arrow toward Xu Mingguang.

"Start the vehicle!"

The teenager shouted as he landed beside Xu Mingguang.

Ignoring the scorching heat on the surface of his protective suit, he gritted his teeth and flipped Xu Mingguang's curled-up figure.

Xu Mingguang's hands were clutching a human head-sized blackened rock, where the surface of the rock had peeled off, revealing a beautiful gold.

The teenager's eyes lit up as he quickly reached out to grab it.

"Let go!"

He ruthlessly stomped on Xu Mingguang's chest, forcefully trying to pull out the meteorite from his embrace.

As it began to loosen, the meteorite was about to be his.

But at that moment, the stone skin on the surface of the meteorite suddenly peeled off entirely, and dazzling golden light emerged from underneath.

Before the teenager could clearly see what was emitting the golden light, a thick black liquid surged from beneath the gold, rushing fiercely towards his face.

"Ah!"

The teenager's face was completely covered by the sticky black liquid, causing him to let out a miserable scream and fall straight backwards.

The two teenage followers who had been starting the SUV looked on in panic. Just as they ran off the vehicle, a roar of air disturbance was heard.

A black Mecha, about ten meters tall, descended from the sky.

The terrifying presence enveloped the area surrounding the meteorite pit entirely.

The Mecha that landed cast a large beam of blue light from its eyes, scanning past the two fearful teenage followers, past Xu Mingguang lying motionless on the ground.

Finally, landing on the face of the unconscious teenager.

That face was clean and free from any traces of the sticky black liquid.

A cold mechanical report sounded low on the scene.

"The target location has been reached."

"...Four people present, one unconscious, one severely injured."

"No unidentified energy fluctuations detected."

"Completed."
