Chapter 137 Beheading

The next day, Teng Juli and his group who had entered the Wushan Maze also walked out of the Wushan Maze one after another.

The temporary residence of several people is just next door, so they can visit each other in no time.

Li Yi also took the time to ask them about the route inside the Wushan maze.

Of course, they did not go into the challenge without thinking of any methods. For example, some people kept leaving marks on the wall with their punches, some marked the smell, and some people with good spatial memory tried to remember.

In short, everyone came up with a unique strategy and showed their skills.

But they soon discovered that both the marks and the smell would soon disappear.

If you take one step away from the fork and then step back, all the traces left behind will disappear.

Therefore, I could only rely on my memory to walk forward. However, after walking for a while, my memory began to become confused and I couldn't tell where was where.

Whether you can get out of this in the end depends on luck and feeling.

Relying on the method of metaphysics, I unknowingly took a detour.

After everyone discussed with each other, they realized the key to going out -

As long as you give up thinking and just walk around, you will be able to walk out of the maze unknowingly.

Basically, after spending more than a dozen hours of anxious time, everyone was surprised to find that the longer they stayed in the Wushan Maze, the lower the brain's thinking activity would be.

It was not until he left the Wushan Labyrinth that he barely regained consciousness, but he was already exhausted.

And this is where it gets weird.

Because judging by their physical fitness, they are generally the best among the middle-level evolvers, and some have just entered the ranks of upper-level mecha masters. With this kind of physical fitness, they should not be a big deal even if they keep moving for seven days and seven nights.

Everyone was horrified when they thought about it.

In this regard, Teng Juli said:

"It's really scary. Could it be that the so-called progress of Instructor Liang is that he suffered enough mental torture in the Wushan Maze, so when he entered again, he had some resistance, so he could shorten the time to enter? So he could get the enlightenment gift of the Wushan Maze?"

Liang Zhishen shook his head and said:

"Of course there was mental torture, but it's hard to say that I improved because of the mental torture, because there was a year between my two visits, and during this year, my strength also improved a little."

Everyone discussed it for a while, and after Li Yi did not ask any more questions, he left the discussion and continued to digest his insights that were flowing like water on his own.

Although he has perfectly achieved the state of being as powerful as flowing water, enlightenment is, after all, achieved through a method similar to initiation.

The essence is not something he has comprehended himself, and it is also different from the essence of the memory fragments that comes from himself.

This is something truly foreign.

Therefore, he also strives to digest this realization thoroughly and make it his own.

The ways to digest are: one, rely on actual practice; two, rely on training; three, rely on meditation.

After all, he was not in his base camp now, so he chose to meditate and digest the memory fragments accumulated in the past.

"The reason why I didn't swipe out the memory fragments related to this perception in the Dream Plain is probably because I haven't truly mastered this perception yet."

“Although I feel like I can use my strength as fast as flowing water at any time, there is always a subtle sense of separation.”

“I just don’t know if the enlightenment of other people who have obtained the purple light and blue light of Wushan is also in a similar state.”

While thinking, Li Yi continued to meditate, grinding that special external insight bit by bit like grinding an inkstone, and digesting it into his own body.

…

In a passage leading to the middle ship, Sai Yizheng leaned sideways on the handrail of the conveyor belt with a trance-like expression.

Suddenly, someone walked to the conveyor belt next door, coughed lightly, and the sound condensed into a line, saying to Sai Yizhen: "Tell me in detail, what is the situation of the person who obtained Wushan Golden Light."

Sai Yizhen said calmly:

"A mediocre mid-level mecha division of the Yao Chi ship, what do you want to do?"

The man said in a low voice, "How can someone who can obtain the Golden Light of Wushan be an ordinary person? He must be a genius that has never been seen before in the past few decades. I want detailed information about this person, including his subsequent itinerary information."

Sai Yizhen frowned and said, "No, don't cause any accidents within my control. If you want to cause trouble, you can do it after leaving the ship."

The man smiled and said, "Don't worry, I don't want to cause any trouble. I just want to understand the situation of this super genius and see if he can be converted to our camp if necessary."

Sai Yizhen said:

"It's up to you. Just don't affect me. My lurking level is higher than yours, and there are important tasks waiting for me in the future."

The man said, "Don't worry, I know the rules. You are the Heavenly Seed that we managed to successfully deliver. How can we just give up on you?"

Sai Yizhen said: "Very good, I hope you can do what you said, otherwise, don't blame me for killing you directly and fabricating evidence to prove that you are a member of the True Saint Church."

The man was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "You don't look like us who have been baptized by the True Holy Steel Pillar."

Sai Yizhen said as a matter of course: "That's why my lurking level is higher than yours. Otherwise, even if you are stronger than me now, so what? Your status in the sect is always lower than mine."

As he spoke, Sai Yizheng walked out of the conveyor belt, never glancing towards the next room.

And when he spoke, his lips moved very secretly, as if he had never said anything.

The man stood outside the conveyor belt, a sneer appeared on his lips, then he turned and left.

…

On the other side, the people on the Yugong ship were touring the open facilities inside the Kunlun ship.

Someone beside He Tongmian asked in a low voice:

"Old He, how is the cooperation going? Li Yi is really a slippery kid."

He Tongmian glanced over and found that the person speaking was Ye Yan, an acquaintance on the Fushan ship.

"Isn't it the same as you guys? Why are you asking now?"

Ye Yan was speechless and said, "Everyone on the ship is fooling around. No one is willing to tell the truth. It has wasted too much of my time. In fact, everyone is the same. No one has come to an agreement."

"This young man is very determined. Our ship can't produce anything good, so we can only give it to others."

He Tongmian nodded and said, "After all, they are not stupid. They will understand the principle of waiting for the right price."

"Just talking about this makes me angry!"

Ye Yan said: "That old bastard Fang Zhilong really set a bad example. He actually wanted to get something for nothing in public? He made us so passive."

He Tongmian smiled and said, "You are right. Fang Zhilong is indeed an old bastard. He has tricked quite a few elites into joining the Kunlun Ship. However, he succeeded in tricking them, but the resources he provided were not sufficient as promised. My former subordinates have been asking me if they can be transferred back to the Yugong Ship."

"It's too late to take it back. You definitely can't accept it. If you do accept it, you'll be a sucker."

Ye Yan sneered and said, "Those who are easily fooled away are either bad or stupid. It is better to leave them in Fang Zhilong's hands. This way we can give priority to those who are loyal and not stupid."

He Tongmian said: "Fang Zhilong wants to raise Gu, but he is too eager for quick success. I don't think his approach is a good one. Sooner or later, the Kunlun, the flagship, will run into big problems."

Ye Yan nodded and said, "Let's wait and see."

During their conversation, the two men did not show much respect for Fang Zhilong, the powerful Heavenly Rank cultivator.

Instead, there are many words of contempt.

…

Time flies and four days have passed.

An ultra-giant ring-shaped creation, as big as seven or eight moons, is hollow in the center and constantly emits an eternal blue flame, standing quietly in the void.

A starship as majestic as a mountain suddenly flew out from the center of the ring-shaped creation and slowly left.

In the center of the huge ring, the mountain-like starship looked like rice beads from a distance, which was really terrifying.

This ship is naturally the Kunlun ship that carries many contestants.

After passing the star gate, you can see in all directions that there is a seemingly endless group of asteroids in the distance, and it is very dense.

And in the middle of the route ahead was a slightly lonely border star! At this moment, Li Yi and his companions were standing on the third dome of the Kunlun ship, looking at the shocking scene ahead.

As we got closer and closer to the border star, a huge border star that was as big as hundreds of Mars appeared in front of us.

The surface of the Boundary Star is like a rough man's face, full of pits and potholes, and there are huge tentacle-like vertical objects slanting everywhere.

With their naked eyes, they can see these huge vertical objects directly.

It can be seen that those tentacle-like vertical objects are at least several thousand meters high.

Then.

Looking beyond the border star, one can see a ring-shaped creature emitting faint blue flames, standing quietly in front of them.

It seems that the thing is an alien star gate that is always orbiting the border star in a curved shape.

Liang Zhishen smiled and said, "How is it? The front is our main battlefield for the next two months. Are you shocked? Are you excited?"

Teng Juli clenched his fist and said:

"After training so hard for so long, this is the first time I've encountered a scene that's so close to a real interstellar war. I'm really excited."

Zhang Baili, who was standing by, also said, "I got injured too early in the ruins last time. I have to practice hard this time."

Liang Zhishen glanced at everyone and found that they were all excited and a little nervous, so he nodded slightly.

Although he is also a contestant, on the Yao Chi ship, he is more of an instructor for everyone.

Therefore, seeing the excited state of the mecha masters who were participating in actual combat for the first time, he naturally praised them in his heart.

He glanced at Li Yi again and found that he was much calmer.

Liang Zhishen patted Li Yi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Work hard and strive for eight to ten!"

Before leaving the ship, Liang Zhishen was arranged by Chen Qiongzhi to fight with Li Yi several times, which helped him condense the thirteenth divine gene, which is also the fifth Pluto divine gene.

Therefore, he was well aware of Li Yi's strength and was very confident that he could make it into the top ten.

Teng Juli immediately looked at Liang Zhishen and asked with a smile: "Then instructor, what about me, how much do you think I should fight for and how much do I want to keep?"

Liang Zhishen pondered for a while and said, "Strive for fifty and protect seventy."

Teng Juli also made progress during this period. He has condensed the nineteenth divine gene and become a superior evolver.

Although he has not yet been certified as a superior mecha master, with his fighting foundation and previous accumulation, I believe that becoming a superior mecha master is only a matter of time.

Therefore, he was quite confident, thinking that even if he couldn't get into the top ten, he could at least get into the top twenty, right?

Hearing Liang Zhishen say this, his face suddenly fell and he asked:

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Coach Liang, I have advanced to the upper level of evolution, but I can't compete in the top 20?"

Liang Zhishen nodded and said:

"Let me tell you this. When I participated in the competition last year, I condensed the 22nd divine gene. Guess what my final ranking was?"

Teng Juli hesitated and asked, "More than 20?"

"Wrong, thirty-nine."

Liang Zhishen said calmly:

"Logically speaking, anyone who can become an upper-level evolver before the age of 40 is undoubtedly a top elite."

"But you can't compete with the participants this time. They are basically all the young mecha masters in our federation."

"Some people may start competing at the age of 30 and have participated in eight or nine competitions. They are very strong and have accumulated a lot of experience."

"Some people may be like Li Yi, who is gifted and has the strength of a high-level mecha master when he is around 20 years old."

"There are also people who are born into a powerful family with a solid foundation and are well-informed. They have been taught by powerful people with a strong personality since childhood."

"Think about it, who are you among these people? This is your first time participating in a competition, and you're already 37 this year. The reason you can compete for the top 50 is because you have a good foundation in martial arts."

"If you lack all kinds of skills and only have 19 divine genes, it may be difficult to even make the top 100."

"There are 72 main ships, and each ship has at least five, normally around ten, and sometimes as many as twenty or thirty. That adds up to nearly a thousand young masters. If you can compete in the top fifty, you've already made a great achievement."

"In the next two or three years, if you work harder, you might be able to get into the top 20, or even get lucky enough to get into the top 10."

Teng Juli was hit hard by Liang Zhishen's attack, and his face became increasingly ugly.

Later, he was relieved and nodded, "Yes, I still have three chances in three years. Now I have so many B-level divine cores to exchange, so I do have a chance to overtake others."

Li Yi patted the elder brother Teng Juli on the shoulder and said, "Brother Teng, come on!"

Teng Juli smiled bitterly and said, "You should work harder and show more power to our Yaochi ship. We, the big brothers, don't stand a chance."

Zhang Baili said, "I envy you. If it's hard for you to get into the top 50, then it will be even harder for me. I hope I can get into the top 100."

As they were talking, the small starship that everyone was riding on began to separate from the Kunlun ship and head towards the border star.

Behind their small starship, there were other small starships waiting in line to be released from the warehouse.

For a moment, the middle deck of the Kunlun ship was washed and flickered with flames of various colors, and a dozen small starships flew away one after another.

…

Outside the border star, a medium-sized cruiser came from afar and sent a communication signal to the landing starship.

The ship was connected, and a serious voice sounded:

"We are the third cruiser of the Border Star Garrison Corps. Please leave the control authority of the starship vacant and put it in autopilot mode. We will temporarily take over your control authority."

"Then, you can enter the border planet only after the authority and personnel review are confirmed."

"Otherwise, if you trespass without permission, the cruise railgun will be fired directly and kill you without mercy!"

Liang Zhishen frowned, picked up the communicator, and asked the starship's pilot:

"Is this a routine procedure? Why haven't I seen this kind of scene in the past two years?"

Driving long roads:

"I don't know. The ship's communication AI has just identified the friendly-or-foe authentication password and the authority authentication password and confirmed them to be correct."

Liang Zhishen said: "Okay, since there is no problem with the enemy authentication password, let's do as they say."

The driver said, "Okay, then I'll open the safety valve for external permissions and let them in, okay?"

Li Yi felt something was wrong and said, "Coach Liang, how about we wait a moment? I see that other starships didn't intercept us, but only intercepted us. Is that weird?"

Liang Zhishen narrowed his eyes slightly, remembering that there was an additional variable of Wushan Golden Light on Li Yi's body, and now there was a different inspection process, which was indeed a bit strange.

How did the news leak out so quickly? Is there a spy on the Kunlun ship? Can the authentication password be disguised?

But this is a very high-level confidentiality technology, and even high-computing AI cannot crack it.

With a flash of thought, Liang Zhishen immediately said:

"Wait, don't worry, transfer the communication rights to me and I will communicate with their people."

The driver asked, "But I just did it?"

Liang Zhishen and Li Yi looked at each other and suddenly felt their scalps tingling.

Shit! Was it robbed? Is there something wrong with the pilot? Or was it replaced by someone else? Is this a cult? "Everyone, enter the hangar immediately and start the divine mecha as soon as possible!"

Liang Zhishen gave the order decisively.

Li Yi was also well prepared. Before Liang Zhishen took action, he suddenly started and went down all the way to the hangar at the rear.

The rest of the people were just slightly stunned, then they reacted and started running immediately.

As they were running, an alarm sounded from inside the ship:

"Warning, warning, the ship will enter closed mode in 10 seconds. All channels will be unable to be opened. Please stay where you are and fasten your seat belts to prevent injuries caused by the huge shock!"

"Please stay where you are and fasten your seat belts!"

Everyone noticed that the passage ahead was slowly closing with a warning sound, while Li Yi and Liang Zhishen in front had already leapt to the top and flew over before the passage door closed.

"Fuck! Are you trying to catch us in a trap?"

Teng Juli punched the passage door.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Upon seeing this, several people did not hesitate and directly used their divine skills to blast the passage door open.

After all, they are a group of outstanding middle-level evolvers. Once they explode, no matter how strong these steels are, they are not divine mechas, so they will naturally be smashed to pieces quickly.

At this time, two C-class divine mechas flew out from both sides of the cruiser in front, and with the support of the slender tail flames behind them, they quickly rushed to the starship.

Immediately afterwards, two divine mecha probes destroyed the outer defensive armor and particle energy cannon of the starship.

Then, he was about to raise his hand to move the starship away.

At this moment.

Violent flames burst out!

The Ape Suit Mecha and the Pluto Mecha jumped out first, with flames flickering behind them, and flew with the two towards the two C-class divine mechas in front.

Seeing this, the two C-class divine mechas simply abandoned the starship, jumped up, opened their upper and lower jaws, and condensed divine energy cannons.

Shoot!!!

Suddenly, two fiery red divine energy cannons broke through the vacuum, passing through the debris ejected from the starship, one shot straight towards the Pluto mecha, and the other aimed at the Ape Suit mecha.

The Pluto Mecha directly took off the hundred-meter-long armor-piercing sword on its back. As divinity continued to be infused into it, the thruster flames on its shoulder armor became brighter and brighter.

Then--

Slash!!! The divine energy cannon was directly cut open by the divine sharp edge of the armor-piercing broadsword and neutralized.

At the same time, the Pluto mecha continued to accelerate, like splitting a long river of fire, cutting straight down, and in an instant it accelerated to the front of the opposite C-level divine mecha, and then slashed hard! The knife light flashed sharply.

In an instant, the head of this C-class divine mecha was cut off from the neck, and its head and body were separated and flew away far away.

But at this time, the Pluto mecha reached out and grabbed the head of the divine mecha in its hand.

At this point, one prisoner was captured.

On the other side, the Ape Suit Mecha faced the divine energy cannon and saw that there was its own starship behind it, so it directly activated the divine shield and offset it directly a hundred meters in front of it.

Then he leaped out and opened his mouth to spit out a beam of divine energy cannon, sweeping away.

But the distance between the two sides was not close, so the opponent's C-class divine mecha easily accelerated on the spot and then avoided the shot.
