Chapter 184 New Features
Entering the characteristic spire again, Li Yi appeared directly on the huge black and white chessboard of the seventh level.
This is also a benefit, you can save the game data when you challenge the tower.
Of course, according to everyone's tests, you have to run the tower continuously to save the game. If you interrupt it for one day, you have to start over.
Therefore, for the past seven days, Li Yi has been breaking into the special spire every day.
Based on this, the abundant high-intensity battles also gave him signs of the formation of his seventeenth divine gene.
"The next one should be about the same."
Looking at the opponent's pawn in front of him, Li Yi adjusted his breathing and launched the 1.5 version of the burst skill.
After a short while, under the effects of deformation, super elasticity, micro-electricity, growth, and toughness, the blood in his body began to expand and flow rapidly, and his physical condition improved rapidly.
Snap! Snap! Snap! He used the magnetic explosion to launch the Thirteen Lightning Fists, accompanied by thunder and purple-blue lightning. He punched the armored men with swords one by one, and quickly swept away the five pawns.
After many battles, he was already familiar with these pawns and it didn't take any effort for him to defeat them.
Soon, 10 minutes later, he successively dealt with a pair of heavy axe armored men, as well as slender and sturdy armored men, and came to the beast-riding armored man who had been stuck before.
At this time, he activated the 3.0 version of the burst skill, and his condition soared to the limit.
Then, he was fully armed, holding a pair of heavy axes and wearing heavy armor from a sturdy armored man.
This heavy armor looks very round at first glance, and foldable tough metal is installed at various movable joints to facilitate extension and rotation.
Because the visor was broken by him, he replaced it with a slender armored man's visor, which covered all his facial features except the eyes. His slanted eye sockets revealed his bright eyes that looked like a hanging ball.
The heavy axe is much longer than the one in the sixth level. It is sharp at the top and thick at the bottom. It can be used for stabbing at the top and chopping at the bottom. Except that it is slightly shorter than the machete by more than 30 centimeters, it has basically no disadvantages.
When facing such a ferocious mount, one blow of the axe would surely make it scream in pain.
The first few times he tried using a machete, bare hands, and a heavy axe, but all failed for more or less reasons.
These are basically problems that are difficult to break through.
Although he had undergone physical enhancement, it was almost enough for him to defeat the fat and thin combination. After all, the strength of the fat and thin combination was enough to surpass the combination of the first level of the heavenly rank, and was faintly approaching the second level of the heavenly rank.
The strength of the beast-riding combination exceeds the second level of heavenly rank and is approaching the third level of heavenly rank.
Of course, the several levels of heavenly rank here are the physical combat strength that Li Yi deduced based on the several strong men he had met before.
If they add together their own natural characteristics and various unique skills, they will reach another level and are not within Li Yi's consideration for the time being.
After all, humans are not dead things. With the improvement of their realm, their knowledge, experience, mental and physical strength, and various skills will definitely improve. It is not surprising that there are various means of amplification.
Among them, in Li Yi's estimation, Tan Yiren should be the first stage of the Heavenly Rank, Mo Chenlong is the second stage of the Heavenly Rank, Mu Tianlei is the fourth stage of the Heavenly Rank, and Lin Wendong is the fifth stage of the Heavenly Rank.
There should be some errors overall, but most of the time it will not exceed one segment.
Li Yi is now fully armed, with the help of a heavy axe, and if he bursts out with all his strength, he doesn't necessarily need to be stronger than the beast cavalry combination in terms of hard power to have a chance of winning.
…
Ta-da, ta-da.
The two armored men riding beasts with spears let go of the reins, swung their legs, pushed the rhino beast's rough flank with their steel boots, and rushed forward with spears.
The black and white chessboard was rumbling and shaking.
The sharp spears, like two silver stars, pierced through the darkness and came suddenly.
Swish!!! Li Yi also activated the Ten-fold Leap Step to accelerate forward. Although the distance was short, his arms were spinning like a windmill, constantly accumulating kinetic energy, and then perfectly integrated the huge momentum from this heavy armor with the force of flowing water.
He gathered unprecedented strength, and while running over the ground at a speed almost as fast as flying, he moved his body leisurely, as if he had foresight, avoiding the spear on the left, and suddenly leaped forward.
The heavy axe chopped them both off.
Ding! Crack!
The two axes, one in front and one behind, hit the head of the rhinoceros beast wearing heavy armor!
The first blow directly shattered the rhino's head armor, and the second blow shattered its skull.
Immediately, the rhino fell forward.
Li Yi kept moving, activating the mastery-level throwing skill with his left hand and throwing the heavy axe out in a spinning motion.
The axe was swung at an extremely fast speed, tearing through the air and hitting the spear of the armored man with a spear, causing him to lose balance and lose his grip.
Then, Li Yi threw another axe.
Swoosh!!! The axe was so swift that the sharp blade split the shoulder of the man in armor with a spear in one go, penetrating three inches into the flesh.
Then, Li Yi leaped up, turned his body, reached out to grab the spear, turned over again, kicked sideways with one leg, causing a whistling air explosion, and hit the spear-armored man's neck with the sole of his foot, kicking him away.
After landing, he shook the spear in his hand, pushed aside the spear that was piercing from the next door, then leaned forward and stabbed the spear tip diagonally from bottom to top.
Ding!!! The man in the long spear armor hastily shook his spear to defend himself, and the spear blades collided with each other, creating several sparks.
Li Yi continued to pierce, his technique was extremely fast.
Since I have already taken advantage of the first-mover advantage to kill the other spear-armored man who attacked me, it would be much easier to fight him one by one now, and the pressure would be greatly reduced.
Although it still takes a lot of effort, there is no need to accelerate to break the defense. All you need to do is continue stabbing with the spear. After multiple times, you will be able to break the defense.
…
In a blink of an eye, Li Yi fought with the remaining spear-armored man for more than sixty rounds.
Li Yi shot steadily and cautiously, and one out of every four or five shots hit the chest of the armored man with the spear.
After doing this several times, finally——
Swish! Puff! The spear in his hand swept past an invisible shadow, carrying a surging explosive spiral force, and suddenly pierced the chest of the spear armored man, like a hot knife into frozen oil, the spear tip penetrated several inches and pierced out from behind.
Green blood dripped onto the ground from the tip of the gun.
At the same time, there was an extremely ferocious spiral explosion force that exploded in the chest of the spear-armored man. After piercing through, it completely blew up his chest armor and flew out in all directions.
Ding! Li Yi put away his spear and smashed it to the ground. The man in the armor with the spear lost his support, swayed, and then fell backwards to the ground.
Huh! Li Yi let out a long breath, adjusted his breathing, and retracted this explosive skill that used almost all of his characteristics.
Although this explosive skill is very powerful, it still consumes a lot of energy. If you use it frequently, you may need to drink more nutrients to replenish the energy.
Fortunately, his mental loss can be compensated by memory fragments, otherwise, he would not be able to frequently launch this 3.0 version of the burst skill.
Hmm? Li Yi's eyebrows moved slightly, and a slight smile appeared on his face.
Yes, the seventeenth divine gene was generated.
He felt it carefully and found that this divine gene actually came from the fragments of divine core that he had seized from the Spiritual Spire before.
In the past seven days, not counting today, when he broke through the spiritual spire, he successively harvested nine fragments of divine cores, which came from the heavy axe armored man, the slender armored man, the spear armored man, the generals and guards in the sixth level; and a pair of heavy axe armored men and fat and thin armored men in the seventh level.
He judged that these nine pieces all came from the same kind of divine creature or the same kind of divine mecha. When combined, they were about the size of a goose egg, and the quality was quite good.
But I still haven't figured out what divine sequence this belongs to.
But he didn't expect that a new divine gene could be generated in just seven days? "Is it because these nine genes are from S-level divine creatures?"
Li Yi's heart moved slightly.
The fragments of the immortal nucleus were also of high quality, but it took him almost a month to create them...
"Yes, after all, the amount is very different. This immortality nucleus is only the size of a little fingernail. Even if I get three more, the total amount will only be slightly larger than a quail egg."
"And these eight together are equivalent to a goose egg, so they are naturally more efficient."
"It seems that if I have a bunch of S-level divine nuclei to radiate, the efficiency of condensing divine genes will probably be quite considerable."
"Although the A-level ones are also very powerful, they are far inferior to those above the S-level."
Of course, now is not the time for Li Yi to disdain the A-level core.
After all, he only had three A-grade divine cores in his hand, one from the slime creature, and the other two were recently seized from the disposable pilot of Mysterious Thoughts.
As for the hundreds of divine mechas found in the divine mecha warehouse, there were more than ten A-level ones, all intact, but it was impossible to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs and only take the divine core.
After all, the total number of divine mechas owned by humans is still very small.
This part can only be used to convert military merits and exchange for suitable items.
After simple attempts, Li Yi finally figured out the characteristics and functions of this divine gene.
His expression was slightly strange. "It's actually the toughness property... No, it's much stronger than the ordinary toughness property. Perhaps it should be called extremely hard. No wonder these armored men have generally high defense. It turns out that it's the effect of this divine core fragment."
The name "extremely hard" cannot encompass its effects, which should be described as extremely hard and tough.
It can directly give an object extremely high strength and toughness, so that ordinary plastic swords can also have the effect of cutting gold and splitting stones.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Compared to his previous toughness characteristic which required the hardness to be concentrated to be effective, this is much more convenient.
If he could manipulate this characteristic at will to the level of toughness, then his body's ability to break through defense would also reach an extremely ferocious level.
Unfortunately, the longevity characteristic obtained before seems to be a passive effect. Although it is continuous and powerful, it cannot be actively activated, which is a pity.
After digesting the harvest, Li Yi threw away some heavy armor and got rid of some of the burden.
The purpose of piling up the body weight was to add kinetic energy to break the defense of the spear-armored man.
But this would inevitably reduce his mobility, otherwise, it would not take him sixty or seventy rounds to eliminate the other spear-armored man.
Now that I have the advantage of the spear and my basic strength and speed have been improved again, I can fight the final boss in a different way.
Even if it doesn't work this time, you can change to heavy armor next time.
…
Ahead is the boss guarding the level. He looks not much different from the boss of the sixth level. He is wearing heavy armor, and his eyes are as lively as a living person, but without any emotion, and are cold and icy.
He also rested his hands on the huge sword that was inserted into the ground, sat on the huge silver throne, and stared at Li Yi leisurely.
Next to this man in armor with a big sword are guards holding umbrellas and guards holding trays.
However, the people in front of him gave Li Yi a strong sense of oppression, which was a world of difference compared to the sixth level.
Li Yi activated this newly acquired extremely hard characteristic to strengthen the spear in his hand, infusing it with divinity, and then used the method of leaving the divinity and wrapping around it to sharpen it, strengthening the spear to the limit.
He held the spear upside down, dragging the tip of the spear on the ground, leaving sparks, and moved forward.
The initial speed was very slow, and the 3.0 version of the explosive skill was reactivated step by step. At the same time, the leg muscles and bones were strengthened to the current limit by using deformation and extremely hard characteristics.
Then--
He took ten steps into the air and suddenly rushed forward. His body turned into a white line, as fast as lightning!
At this time, the man in armor with a greatsword also took a big step forward, waving the greatsword in his hand, and slashing towards the spear with a humming sound as it broke through the air.
Ding!!! Amid the sound of metal clashing, the tip of the sword jumped as fast as pearls and jade, leaving one afterimage after another, and collided with Li Yi's spear at a high frequency.
Originally, Li Yi came with a terrifying momentum, but he didn't expect that the sword striker in the big sword armor had such a fierce force. He easily resolved the momentum by slashing and chopping the sword at high speed.
Moreover, he frequently seized the gaps between the swinging of the gun tip and pierced into Li Yi's imperceptible gap.
For a moment, Li Yi was in an absolute disadvantage and could only hold on with difficulty.
He had expected that the strength of this gatekeeper boss would be a huge leap compared to the previous spear-armored man, but he did not expect it to increase so drastically.
Now, even facing four armored men riding beasts with spears, it is not that stressful.
Moreover, the impact force from the big sword was extremely fierce. Every time Li Yi clashed, a huge force kept shaking his tiger's mouth, forcing him to shake his body extra to dissipate the terrifying impact.
The guards next to him didn't intervene yet, they just held the treasure umbrella, constantly opening and closing it, and turning the umbrella cover. For a moment, the gems inlaid on the umbrella cover were shining, constantly dazzling Li Yi's eyes at the critical moment, which was also a big distraction.
The speed of this greatsword-armored man is only equivalent to the third level of human physical combat, but his strength is quite terrifying, as if he has some skills or equipment that can increase his strength, and he is suppressing Li Yi with his extraordinary strength.
Therefore, even if Li Yi had the advantage of prediction, he would not be able to make much use of it in the face of this almost fair and direct frontal attack.
…
In a blink of an eye, Li Yi had already withstood more than thirty moves.
Pah!!! The blade of the great sword suddenly refracted the light of the treasure umbrella, and the blazing light suddenly burned Li Yi's eyes.
Feeling the unusually high temperature, Li Yi closed his eyes decisively and dodged several blows from the sword purely by relying on his ability to identify the position by listening to the sound. He then stepped back several steps and walked away.
"This damn guard is looking for death again!"
Li Yi's mind moved, and he reached out his left hand vaguely, activating the magnetic explosion feature. The huge suction force suddenly sucked a heavy axe inserted in the heavy armor into his palm.
Then, he dodged the attack from the greatsword and armored man, leaped up, went around the side of the greatsword and armored man, suddenly stretched out his hand and threw the heavy axe out.
Whoosh!!! The heavy axe spun and flew towards the guard.
Upon seeing this, the guards quickly opened their umbrellas to block the front.
BANG!!! The heavy axe blade struck the guard's treasure umbrella straight down, cutting it in half and creating a huge crack.
Immediately afterwards, Li Yi seized the opportunity to jump over, and a spear shot through the gap of the knife like an antelope hanging its horns, a fallen leaf in the forest, piercing through the chest of the guard and passing through from behind! From behind, the big sword had also been chopped down, with a fierce whistling sound, and it was about to hit Li Yi's shoulder.
Bang!!! At the critical moment, Li Yi's body was like the slender armored man, changing shape and flashing behind the treasure umbrella.
The big sword hit the treasure umbrella, directly cutting the crack of the treasure umbrella and splitting it into two halves.
In an instant, countless gems were ejected by the huge force, splashing everywhere and dripping to the ground.
Li Yi took this opportunity to catch his breath, grabbed the other half of the broken umbrella, rolled on the ground, and avoided several intensive slashes from the man in armor with a big sword.
On the seventh time, he once again seized the opportunity to leap up, making a diving header and diving to the side, creating a huge distance in an instant.
In this way, he held the precious umbrella in one hand and the spear in the other and found a gap.
“There’s still a chance to win.”
"Even though the difference in strength and speed is huge, I have gradually become familiar with the attack pattern of the Great Sword Armor Man."
“This is not a sure-win situation.”
"Hold on a little longer."
Li Yi continued to clear his mind, trying to enter a spiritual state higher than absolute emptiness.
At the moment, I can't get close, so I can't use my penetrating ice fist, and I can only barely resist with a gun.
After his 3.0 burst skills failed to work, he was at his wit's end.
Only the flow state remains, let's see if we can improve it a little bit.
For a long time, thanks to his innate ability to enter and exit the dream plain at any time, he naturally possesses a high degree of concentration and can enter an absolutely empty state of mind at any time. Thanks to this, he can easily stimulate the generation of divine genes after each battle.
But after he learned about soul studies, he knew that absolute emptiness was just a certain level of control over the soul's superego.
Above this, there is another level, which is a state that can only be achieved when one’s self-control over one’s true self reaches a certain level.
He named it Self-Essence, which can achieve higher combat amplification and learning concentration.
But before Li Yi could take a break for too long, the big sword armored man had already rushed in front of Li Yi with a sword in hand and slashed down with a fierce sword! Pah! ! ! Li Yi simply threw the treasure umbrella forward, and it unexpectedly hit the big sword armored man in the face, slowing down his attack.
