【System prompt: Matching successful! 】

【5V5 King Ranked Tournament is about to begin! 】

Team Zero assembles again - Zero (Xiang Fan), Gu Master (Bai Zang), Sky Sword Armor (Ling Ruoxi), Youyu Sword Armor (Ling Ruochen), and Black Tortoise Guard (Luo Tiangang) are ready to take on a new King-level challenge.

Shadow Killer (Ning Yuge) chose to spectate as usual, with a high-sounding reason: "Ranking is too tiring, I'd rather just leisurely watch you kill people."

The battle was about to begin. As everyone adjusted their mecha parameters and checked their equipment, Zero's voice slowly rang out in the team chat: "I have a little secret to tell you."

Everyone was immediately cheered up.

Bai Zang was the first to lose his temper. "What secret? Boss, are you finally going to reveal your mysterious identity? Which hidden holy land are you the boss of?"

Ling Ruoxi followed closely behind and asked excitedly: "Or have you secretly developed some new technology?"

Ling Ruochen slapped his thigh and said, "Could it be that, Boss, you've already been able to exchange virtual spirit stones for real spirit stones?!"

Zero's mouth twitched slightly, and he retorted rudely: "Get lost, none of you are serious. That's not what I'm talking about."

He cleared his throat and said calmly, "I have implanted a special program in your virtual mecha..."

"What?!" everyone exclaimed.

Zero said calmly, "Don't be nervous. This program will allow you to temporarily enter the psychic output state of a Nascent Soul-level mecha in overclocking mode."

The team channel was silent for two seconds, and then... it exploded!

Ling Ruoxi couldn't believe it: "Nascent Soul level? Is this true?!"

Luo Tiangang's expression was solemn: "Boss, are you saying that our mecha can achieve the true Nascent Soul-level mecha spiritual energy output under overclocking?"

Bai Zang was already extremely excited: "Awesome! I knew the boss was definitely doing something secretly! This is the most outrageous cheat in the history of the Spirit Realm battlefield!"

Zero smiled, his tone remaining calm. "Don't get excited. This function isn't perfect yet. It only works when overclocked, and it only lasts for fifteen minutes. Once it's used up, you have to shut down the system for repairs, otherwise the machine will be severely overloaded."

Everyone looked at each other.

Ling Ruochen couldn't wait to say, "What are you waiting for? Let's try it! I'll start overclocking now!"

"Don't!" Zero stopped him immediately. "Do you know how much it costs to repair an overclocked mecha? It starts at four or five hundred virtual spirit stones."

Ling Ruochen's fingers suddenly froze on the start button, and the corners of his eyes twitched wildly.

"It costs four or five hundred virtual spirit stones to repair it once?" he asked in a trembling voice.

Zero said slowly: "Yes, you can try it."

Ling Ruochen's blood ran cold instantly. Like a salted fish that had lost its dreams, he looked at his pitiful account balance with resentment. A few hundred virtual spirit stones could be burned to ashes in a few minutes.

He looked at Ling Ruoxi pitifully: "Sister...why don't you lend me some? I'll try it once, just once!"

Ling Ruoxi refused without hesitation: "Get lost! I need to save my virtual spirit stones to buy mecha skins. Go away, stay away!"

Ling Ruochen: “QAQ…”

Everyone laughed, and the tense atmosphere before the battle was swept away.

【System prompt: The battle begins! 】

Battle Map: Deep Space Ruins

Enemy lineup:

Spark War God (Golden Core Firepower Mecha), Night Blade Assassin (Golden Core Stealth Mecha), Lightning Vanguard (Golden Core Charge Mecha), Holy Shield Guardian (Golden Core Defense Mecha), Storm Hunter (Golden Core Ranged Mecha)

Xiang Fan quickly glanced at the battlefield configuration and said calmly, "The enemy's lineup is very standard. Their tactics are likely to be defensive mechas in the front row, with long-range firepower and assassins flanking from behind."

"Execute according to the plan. Xuanwu guards hold the front, the Gu Masters use Gu to disrupt the battlefield, and Cangqiong and Youyu go around the rear to cut off their firepower points."

"I will focus on attacking the assassin and limit the opponent's attack rhythm."

The tactics were finalized in an instant, and the mechas quickly began fighting on the battlefield.

The Xuanwu Guard activated the shield mode and stood at the front line of the battlefield. The enemy's long-range firepower bombarded him crazily, but his shield was as solid as a rock and was not affected at all.

The Gu Master stood at the rear, continuously releasing tracking Gu insects. Hundreds of Gu insects slithered and moved in the air, accurately locking onto enemy units and interfering with their movements, making it difficult for the enemy to successfully bypass them.

"The Gu Master's control is simply disgusting." You Yu Jianjia said with a smile while moving at high speed and looking for a breakthrough.

At the same time, Zero accurately locked onto the enemy Night Blade Assassin, calculated its landing point after it became invisible in advance, and fired a shot, instantly breaking the opponent's stealth state and making it appear in a mess.

"Boss, this prediction is too strong!" Ling Ruochen exclaimed.

Xiang Fan said calmly: "There are traces of his invisible movement, so just guess it."

Ling Ruoxi complained unconvincedly: "You call this guessing? You call this mind reading!"

Everyone laughed, but the battle was gradually becoming more intense.

During the battle, Ling Ruoxi suddenly spoke up: "Boss, is this Nascent Soul overclocking function really possible in reality?"

Xiang Fan said as he performed precise operations, "It's theoretically feasible, but the biggest bottleneck for current mechas is the carrying capacity of the psychic core."

Luo Tiangang pondered: "In other words, the current psychic core is not enough to support a true Nascent Soul mecha?"

Xiang Fan nodded. "Yes, psychic energy output is a big problem. Even if the engine power is sufficient, the body structure will not be able to withstand such a high-intensity psychic energy impact. The end result is likely to be that the mecha will be destroyed by its own internal energy field."

The Gu Master sighed, "So, it will probably take some time for the real-life Nascent Soul mecha to officially debut?"

Xiang Fan chuckled, his tone revealing a hint of deep meaning: "Not necessarily. If someone finds more advanced materials or masters new technologies for psychic control, they can break through this bottleneck ahead of time."

Ling Ruoxi frowned slightly: "More advanced materials?"

Xiang Fan said calmly, "Haven't you noticed? Recently, all the major companies and forces have been researching this direction."

For a moment, everyone was silent.

At this moment, they all realized one thing—the world of cultivating immortals was really about to change.

【Final results:】

Zero: 9 kills, 0 deaths, 2 assists Sky Sword Armor: 7 kills, 1 death, 3 assists Youyu Sword Armor: 6 kills, 2 deaths, 4 assists Black Tortoise Guard: 4 kills, 0 deaths, 8 assists Gu Master: 3 kills, 1 death, 10 assists

【Victory in the battle! 】

The Shadow Killer applauded from the spectator booth: "Tsk tsk, the boss is killing people indiscriminately again this time."

Ling Ruoxi smiled and said, "Let's try to find a stronger team next time."

Xiang Fan chuckled, "Once we truly master Nascent Soul-level overclocking, then we'll be able to challenge those so-called 'BOSS-level mechas'."

Everyone became excited.

This era is really becoming more and more interesting.
