Ye Ling stepped into the new trial area. The ground beneath her feet was cold and a chill spread upwards from the soles of her feet.
There was a strange energy fluctuation in the surrounding air, as if countless tiny electric currents were running through it, making a faint "sizzling" sound.
These energies were sometimes strong, sometimes weak, and fluctuated irregularly, making her feel as if she was in a huge energy vortex.
"Interesting..." Ye Ling narrowed her eyes and looked around.
This trial area is more empty than the previous Lost Forest. Only huge metal pillars stand there, with runes flickering on them, exuding a mysterious atmosphere as if breathing.
There was a metallic smell in the air, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"This place is a bit weird..." Ye Ling muttered to herself. She felt an inexplicable sense of oppression, as if a pair of invisible eyes were watching her in secret.
Suddenly, a low humming sound was heard, and the runes on the metal pillars shone brightly. Beams of energy shot out from the runes, interweaving into a complex energy network, enveloping the entire trial area.
"Here it comes!" Ye Ling's heart trembled. She immediately activated the mecha's defense system, and a layer of light blue energy shield wrapped her.
At this moment, Elder Xuanfeng's voice echoed over the trial area: "This formation is called the 'Chaos Energy Domain'. It will interfere with the mecha's energy system. You must adjust your mecha to adapt to the energy fluctuations in order to pass the trial."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Ling felt the energy inside the mecha begin to fluctuate violently, rushing around like a wild horse.
The mecha's indicator lights flashed wildly and a shrill alarm sounded.
"Oh my god! Is this such a big deal?" Ye Ling's face changed. She hurriedly tried to control the energy system of the mecha, but found that the operation that was originally easy to do became extremely difficult. The response of the mecha became sluggish and the energy output became intermittent.
"What's going on? My mecha..." Ye Ling was extremely anxious. She felt that the energy of the mecha was rapidly dissipating. If it could not be controlled in time, the mecha would most likely be paralyzed due to energy exhaustion.
Beads of sweat the size of beans slid down Ye Ling's forehead. She clenched her teeth and tried hard to control her trembling hands, trying to stabilize the energy output of the mecha.
"Wait..." Ye Ling suddenly thought of something and raised her head.
The concept of energy circuit reconstruction that Akali had mentioned earlier flashed through Ye Ling's mind.
Although Akali's ideas were of limited help to her current situation, she suddenly had an idea: since the external energy is disordered, she should do the opposite and make the energy flow inside the mecha "disordered" as well!
Not disorderly chaos, but a controlled, dynamic chaos.
This is like surfing in rough waves. Instead of fighting against them, it is better to go with the flow and use the force to your advantage.
Just do it!
Ye Ling took a deep breath, her hands flying across the console, her fingertips jumping on the virtual buttons, leaving a series of afterimages.
The code poured down like a waterfall, and line after line of instructions were input into the core system of the mecha.
At this moment, she seemed to have transformed into a skilled conductor, conducting a magnificent symphony.
The ancient mecha core seemed to sense her determination, emitting a faint light that complemented the flickering runes around it.
The energy circuits inside the mecha began to rearrange themselves, winding like dragons, and the originally stable energy flow became turbulent.
"Warning! Abnormal fluctuations in the energy circuit!" The mecha's alarm sounded even more shrill, and the red warning light flashed even more frantically, as if it was about to explode in the next second.
Ye Ling's hands trembled slightly, and beads of sweat the size of beans slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the operating table.
She faced a critical decision: to continue or to give up?
If she continues, she may be able to successfully control the energy, but it may also cause the mecha to be completely paralyzed; if she gives up, it means she will lose the opportunity for this trial and may even endanger her life.
Time seemed to stand still, and the air was filled with tension.
Ye Ling's heart was in turmoil, with all kinds of thoughts intertwined together, making it difficult for her to make a decision.
"Let's fight!" Ye Ling gritted her teeth and pressed a red button...
"Is it done, or...broken?" The moment Ye Ling pressed the red button, the entire mecha seemed to be injected with a powerful electric current and shook violently.
"Crack, crack," the energy circuits inside the mecha made a teeth-grinding sound, as if they were about to be torn apart.
The indicator lights were flashing wildly like a disco, from red to black.
"Is it too much?!" Ye Ling's heart tightened, but she had no way out at this moment, so she could only continue.
She stared at the dashboard in front of her, veins bulging on her forehead, and her fingers controlling the mecha almost left afterimages.
However, just when she thought she was about to collapse completely, a miracle happened.
The originally violent energy began to gradually stabilize, and the energy circuits inside the mecha seemed to have found a new order and began to flow in a strange pattern.
The originally chaotic energy actually began to be absorbed by the mecha!
The indicator light of the mecha also gradually changed from crazy red to stable blue.
"It's done! Holy crap, I'm a real genius!" Ye Ling slapped the operating table so excitedly that her hand almost went numb.
At this moment, she felt as if her body was wrapped in a layer of warm light, which was extremely comfortable.
The originally ferocious energy beams around her also became gentle, circling around her mecha like docile kittens, no longer aggressive.
Duan Yu, who was far away, had been paying attention to Ye Ling's movements. When he saw that she had successfully solved the problem of energy disorder, a relieved smile finally appeared on his tense face. The corners of his mouth rose slightly. Although the amplitude was small, it was enough for people around him to feel his happy mood.
He ignored Shen's attempts to stop him and nodded slightly in the direction of Ye Ling.
Ye Ling also felt Duan Yu's gaze, and her heart felt warm, as comfortable as if she had drunk hot cocoa.
She knew that she was not fighting alone. She had Duan Yu, her most reliable teammate, who was silently supporting her behind the scenes. What else could she be afraid of?
She just wants to say one thing now: "I can do it!"
After resolving the energy disorder, Elder Xuanfeng's voice rang out again. This time, his tone was less indifferent and more filled with surprise. "Ye Ling, you actually succeeded... However, this is only the first test. To qualify to exchange skills with cultivators, you still need to complete the final trial mission."
Ye Ling took a deep breath, raised her head and looked towards the deepest part of the trial field. There, a huge energy barrier exuded a suffocating pressure.
She knew that the next challenge would be even more brutal...
"Haha, come on, let the storm come even harder!" Ye Ling raised the corners of her mouth slightly, pressed the button, the mecha made a dull roar, and then she flew towards her final destination.
