Chapter 185 Inventory
Taking advantage of his opponent's slowness, Li Yi immediately exerted his strength and made another ten-fold flying step in this gap, and his body shot forward like an arrow.
The spear in his hand, strengthened by various properties, became straight and hard, and with a spiral, it fiercely pierced the chest of the greatsword armored man!
Ding!!! Sparks flew everywhere, leaving a shallow burnt mark.
Even though this armored man with a greatsword was nearly three meters tall and extremely powerful, he was still stabbed by the spear and was forced to retreat back, forcing him to retreat to dissipate the impact.
Li Yi was in a dominant position and didn't show mercy. Although he didn't enter the flow state of his ego, he had a chance to win. How could he not continue his violent attack? Only by continuously attacking could he avoid being suppressed by the terrifying power of the greatsword armored man.
Bang! Bang! Bang! In the blink of an eye, Li Yi seized the opportunity and fired three more shots, each with greater force than the last, continuously detonating the explosive spiral force.
After these three shots, the black mark on the chest of the man in greatsword armor had become quite noticeable, with a thin dent.
I believe that with another dozen or so hits, I will be able to break through the defense.
Right at this moment.
The man in armor with a greatsword recovered from the three-gun rapid attack, threw away the half-broken umbrella hanging on his body, and suddenly stretched out one hand, grabbing the tip of the gun with his thick bony fingers.
Chichichi! In an instant, the Mars tore into fierce sparks in the palm of the greatsword armored man, and hundreds of sparks jumped out.
Finally, the tip of the gun could no longer penetrate, its kinetic energy exhausted, and it was firmly grasped by a pair of thick hands like iron pliers.
The man in the greatsword armor had a strange smile in his cold eyes as he looked at Li Yi.
The greatsword in his hand swung violently and chopped horizontally.
Li Yi acted decisively, dropped his gun and walked away, rolling to the side to create some distance. At the same time, the magnetic explosion property in his palm was activated, sucking the other gun into his palm.
The man in armor with a big sword stood up and chased after him, aiming the big sword at Li Yi's neck and piercing it suddenly.
BANG!!! Li Yi did not resist, he predicted and avoided the sword in advance, and stabbed the big sword armored man again.
As time went by, he had become quite familiar with the attack pattern of the Greatsword Armored Man, and his predictive ability, which had been weakened by the opponent's powerful blow, was also recovering.
Although Li Yi did not enter the flow state of his true self, he gradually stabilized his position.
“Yes!”
He kept spinning the spear in his hand, constantly relieving the force, and occasionally firing one or two shots in counterattack, and once again fought steadily with the man in greatsword and armor.
…
In the blink of an eye, the two sides had fought for countless rounds.
The time limit for the 3.0 burst skill is about to expire, with only half a minute left.
During this period, Li Yi seized the opportunity and stabbed the big sword armored man in the chest several times, leaving only four or five shots left to break through his defense.
He gritted his teeth and decided to do his best to attack before the final deadline. He would succeed and die in this one move! Boom!!! With the help of the opponent's great sword, he flew back more than ten squares. He didn't care that the surrounding armored men with spears and cannons were stimulated by his cross-distance movement. He used this extremely hard property to the blood vessels, heart, muscles and other parts of his body to strengthen his body again.
Inhale, exhale! Thicker white mist rolled out from the mouth and nose like a steam engine.
The 3.1 version of the burst skill that integrated all the characteristics was fully unleashed by Li Yi.
The spear in his hand was also constantly spinning, adding kinetic energy.
Eleven steps in the air began to brew.
The leg muscles continued to swell, almost bursting the extremely tough protective suit.
And before the spear flew into the air and stabbed at him, before the man in the greatsword and armor rushed forward to kill him—
Boom!!! The surging air waves exploded and scattered in all directions.
The extremely hard black chess squares under his feet exploded directly.
This figure instantly turned into a white line that was almost invisible to the naked eye.
During the rocketing process, his wind and fire divinity and repulsive properties erupted again, making his acceleration even higher.
Swish!!! The tip of the spear turned sideways from bottom to top, and as Li Yi's wrist turned, it avoided the big sword's obstruction in advance and suddenly pierced the chest of the big sword armored man.
The stabbing location was exactly the same black mark point that had been hit by countless counterattacks before!
The force of the explosive spiral was unleashed with a bang, completely piercing through the point that originally required four or five shots to penetrate in one go. It carried a huge force, penetrated three inches into the flesh, brought out green blood, and fell to the ground with a sizzling sound.
Unfortunately, the power ended here and failed to completely penetrate the greatsword and armored man.
With a thud, Li Yi sat down completely exhausted, his waist collapsing backwards.
I'm so tired.
He couldn't use even an inch of strength.
Not only the power, but even the divinity is exhausted, not a drop is left.
If I don't rest well, I'm afraid I won't be able to recover.
"Did you win?"
Li Yi barely opened his eyes and found that the man in the greatsword armor had not completely lost his movement. He grasped the greatsword in his hand and barely reached out to him.
"wipe!"
Li Yi sighed, he didn't expect to fail at the last moment.
Just as he was thinking this, there was a clang and the greatsword fell to the ground, and the greatsword armored man fell to the ground as if his armor had fallen apart.
Seeing this, Li Yi was completely relieved and finally fainted with peace of mind.
Although he can freely enter and exit the Dream Plains and come out of his coma.
But now my body is basically in a state of forced shutdown, and even if I wake up, I won’t be able to hold on for long.
Therefore, he did not wake up immediately, but continued to replenish memory fragments, digest and absorb, and restore his depleted spirit in the dream plain.
As for the lost energy, I have to go out and find nutrient solution to replenish it.
It’s a pity that the boss and the guard’s divine core fragments cannot be touched.
This time, I could only count on gaining the fragments of the divine cores of two beast-riding spear-armored men.
Hope to get it back next time.
…
In a trance, Li Yi felt a strange force surging into his body. Except for the Ice Prison characteristic, all the other 17 divine genes, even the Longevity Divine Gene which had no active characteristics, received the amplified power.
His whole body seemed to be soaking in a hot spring, so comfortable that he almost cried out.
"The total enhancement ratio this time should be around 260%? Not bad."
Li Yi estimated that among the many characteristics he had just used, the deformation and extreme hardness characteristics were naturally the most important. Even the absolute 0 degree characteristic was not used that much because the situation in which he needed to cool down was relatively stable.
In general, the deformation characteristics are enhanced by 80% again, the extreme hardness characteristics are enhanced by 70%, and the remaining characteristics basically share the remaining 110%, with each being enhanced.
"Now, I can't really use the shapeshifting feature to perfectly change my appearance into another species, right?"
Li Yi fantasized with some pride.
Although each characteristic is limited by the number of divine genes, the total amount of divinity corresponding to a single characteristic is insufficient, and the power of use is not too strong.
However, he is good at combining methods and micro-management, and his overall strength is much stronger than those evolutionists who take a single route.
If it were someone from another sequence, such as Tan Haode from the Vulcan sequence, he would have to control a divine mecha to unleash the terrifying power of its explosive properties to destroy medium-sized starships and meteorites.
If it were launched by the physical body, at best its power would be equivalent to that of an ordinary bomb.
The limit of the power of a single launch is that it would be amazing if it could bring down a building of more than ten floors. As for blowing it up, that is definitely impossible.
This kind of power is actually quite good, but of course it cannot compare to various modern weapons.
After all, the difference between the total amount of divinity and the amount of divine mecha is too huge.
If one really wants to have the strength to dismantle a mecha with one's physical body, one must be at a high level like He Guangzhi to be able to do it.
Moreover, according to He Guangzhi, the divine mecha he could dismantle was only thirty-meter-class.
To break through the 100-meter level with a physical body, only a strong person above the heavenly level can do it.
Li Yi himself knew that although his physical combat power could be comparable to those of the lower Heavenly Rank, if they used the powerful Heavenly Rank characteristics and directly attacked with the characteristics, he would most likely not be able to withstand it.
You can only rely on high dodge and absolute fluid protection to close the distance and decide the outcome.
However, if the characteristics of those masters greatly enhance close combat, or are strongly restrained from close combat, then he will have no advantage.
On the contrary, in mecha battles, it is easier and more likely for him to defeat the strong with the weak.
…
After coming out of the characteristic spire, Li Yi lay in the nutrition cabin for two hours before he replenished his body's energy.
Moreover, the Jingyu No. 3 nutrient that he had previously stockpiled was also completely used up, and he had to return to the Yaochi ship to replenish it, or go to the main base on the boundary star to exchange some.
Because the nutrient solution here was not specially formulated for his physique and had some side effects, Li Yi still planned to return to the Yao Chi ship to replenish the consumption after finishing this matter.
As for now, we can only use the corresponding supplies carried on the starship as a substitute.
As a participant in the Mecha Master Competition, he has a certain amount of reimbursement, but if he uses it beyond the limit, he still needs to pay for it himself.
Fortunately, he still had a few hundred million star coins left from his previous earnings, and tens of thousands from his military merits, so he wasn't short of the money.
In the past few days, because Li Yi always returned exhausted after entering the spiritual spire, he had to come to the medical cabin to lie down for a while every time. As a result, he became more and more familiar with the medical soldier Tang Huixi.
Today, Tang Huixi took advantage of the time when Li Yi sat up from the medical cabin and boldly asked him some fighting and self-cultivation techniques.
Li Yi felt that his attempt to enter the flow stage of his true self today had failed.
He shared with Tang Huixi some of his thoughts on how to enter the state of absolute emptiness, and also completed his own summary, using teaching to strengthen his in-depth understanding of this theory.
He told Tang Huixi the corresponding entry techniques and adjusted her body posture step by step to make her physical and mental state more natural.
You know what, Tang Huixi's little hands are quite slippery.
"Yes, adjust your breathing and follow my rhythm slowly."
"Don't let your mind wander, get rid of all distracting thoughts."
Li Yi was originally in a somewhat nonchalant state, but as he adjusted himself, he found that Tang Huixi actually got into the state very quickly.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Although she was still a long way from the wonderful state of absolute emptiness, judging from the rhythm of Tang Huixi's breathing, she had clearly successfully entered the door.
Li Yi raised his eyes slightly. Could it be that this guy is a genius with extremely high self-control?
This performance is much worse than his, but it is already very strong compared to his teammates who have shared experiences with him before.
After a while, Li Yi left a note, asking Tang Huixi to grasp this feeling and practice diligently, and then he left quietly.
Although Tang Huixi did have some talent, it was not Li Yi's job to discover geniuses, so it was enough to just keep some good connections with her.
According to the normal trajectory, Tang Huixi would naturally participate in the mecha master assessment on the border star.
As long as you perform well, you will be selected.
Then just follow the steps and grow slowly.
It wouldn’t be bad if they could become teammates on the battlefield in the future. As for now, Li Yi couldn’t care less.
…
After coming out of the starship, I happened to meet everyone who were summarizing their experience as usual.
Li Yi still has two chances and is going to try the Infinite Spire and the Conversion Spire. When he saw everyone, he stopped and listened to see if there was any new information.
This has been the routine these days. After completing the tower challenge and daily training, they either hold meetings to summarize and share experiences, or go to various places in the ruins to explore.
At this time, Liang Zhishen laughed and said, "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. I have just completed the fifth level of the Vision Spire and gained some deception tactics."
Li Yi was surprised. He didn't expect Liang Zhishen to be quite talented in the field of Vision Spire. Although his progress could not be compared with his, he was indeed the strongest one among everyone present.
Even Mu Tianlei stopped at the fifth level.
This also shows that there is a lot of room for development in fraudulent tactics.
The two times he encountered the slender armored man before, he was also fooled several times by various fake moves.
Thanks to these many actual combat experiences, he also mastered the unique skill of the slender armored man in the seventh level, the ability to change shape and shadow.
This move was essentially one of the top techniques of the cheating style of play. When he had just been fighting with the greatsword-armored man, he had used this move to gain a moment of respite and seize the opportunity to turn the tables.
If you don’t have this skill, it would be difficult to get this increase.
It can be seen that even if his fighting skills have reached perfection, are impeccable, and as powerful as flowing water, there are still many unique skills from various civilizations that need to be seen and learned.
Li Yi smiled and said, "It seems that Instructor Liang has gained a lot in the Vision Spire."
Liang Zhishen smiled reservedly: "No, no, I am far inferior to you. I am only a few levels better than Lao Zhang."
Zhang Pengting was speechless and said, "Okay, okay, just force it."
He really had nothing to say, because he only made it to the second level of the Vision Spire and was stuck there.
Among everyone, his progress in the Vision Spire was the slowest.
It is worth mentioning that Zhang Pengting was still lost when he tried to break through the characteristic spire, and he was unable to pass the first level.
Among all the people present, four of Zhou Fuli's six-member team cleared the first level of the Feature Tower, namely Zhou Fuli, Zhou Bingying, Li Tairan and Zhao Jian.
As for Li Yi's group, only Jiang Chaoqun, Xu Weilu, Tan Haode, Liang Zhishen and Teng Juli were able to get through.
Among them, Zhou Fuli and Jiang Chaoqun made it to the fifth level, and got stuck on the ultra-long distance and ultra-tortuous path of the fifth level, where it was easy to hit the wall, which put a high test on flying skills and spatial thinking.
I believe that if these two try a few more times, they will be able to reach the sixth level one after another.
Next on the list are Zhou Bingying, Li Tairan, Xu Weilu and Tan Haode, who are stuck at the fourth level.
This level also tests flying skills and spatial thinking, and everyone is accumulating experience to try to get through it.
The rest of them were either stuck at the third or second level.
People like Hu Yitong, Lin Xiaohu and the other six in the group basically had poor spatial thinking or bad luck, and were confused by the various seas of clouds. In the end, they missed the time and needed time to get through.
As for the two Heavenly Rank powerhouses, they naturally relied on their own strength to clear the first five levels.
But starting from the sixth level, the opponents they met were different. Even the pawns were several levels stronger than them.
Li Yi then understood that starting from the sixth level, the difficulty of this feature tower will increase as one's strength increases, and one needs to defeat the strong with the weak in order to obtain more feature enhancement rewards.
"Li Yi, hurry up and finish the remaining two towers. Everyone is waiting for you to finish them before you go explore the underground space under the northern ruins."
Seeing that Li Yi was still listening to people's conversation, Liang Zhishen hurriedly urged him.
Li Yi burst out laughing. It was a rare opportunity for him to catch some fish, but he was actually urged to do so.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Just taking a step forward to leave.
At this time, Zhou Bingying also finished the tower and walked over slowly. When she saw Li Yi, she immediately patted his shoulder with a smile and said, "I should be promoted to the Heavenly Rank in the next few days. Congratulate me."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Isn't Zhou Fuli closer to the Heavenly Position? How come Zhou Bingying, the weakest of the six, is one step ahead? Zhou Bingying laughed and said, "Are you curious? Why am I so fast?"
How could everyone not be curious and asked immediately.
Zhou Bingying smiled and said, "It's very simple. To advance to the Heavenly Rank, one must first look at the divine gene, secondly the soul, and thirdly the physical strength. The three must be coordinated as one, also known as the Three Elements in One. Only when these conditions are met can one be promoted successfully."
"For example, I have accumulated five years of experience and adjusted for five years at the top. Although my overall strength is not as good as my brother's, I have adjusted more coordinatedly. And this time when I broke through the sixth level of the Spiral Spire, this unknown force actually helped me coordinate the three elements."
"Now, I just need to slowly complete the final error, and I will be able to ascend to the Heavenly Rank naturally."
"As for my brother and his friends, although they have also made it to the sixth level, due to their lack of coordination between the three elements, they will probably have to go through two or three more levels before they can complete the integration of the three elements."
"But looking at their condition, I'm afraid they'll have to go through two or three more levels, which will take them half a year, or they might even get stuck there."
Everyone was delighted to hear this. The physical enhancement function of this spiral spire actually has this effect? Li Yi became curious and asked:
"Sister Bingying, Captain Zhou's three elements are not coordinated because the total amount of divine energy accumulated is too high? This causes the three elements to be unbalanced? If he is promoted to the heavenly position in this situation, will he be stronger?"
Zhou Bingying said:
"No, the coordination of the three elements is not mainly a question of quantity, but a question of fit. Although quantity has an impact, the fit is the most important."
"As for when to be promoted to the Heavenly Rank, if you can ensure your promotion, the later the better. This way, you can accumulate enough total divinity and spiritual energy, making the condensed divine essence core innately powerful, and subsequent promotions will be twice as effective with half the effort."
"However, if you are not sure, it is better to do it as soon as possible, because the fit is dynamic, and you may fail if you delay for a while."
"People like me who are sure of promotion will choose to be promoted immediately. Even if the subsequent growth is a little slower, it is only a matter of the early stages. Once the accumulation is sufficient, it will still be strong."
"Of course, if you can choose, it is better to accumulate enough energy before upgrading. This way, your body will not be strengthened yet and it will be easy to receive various divine radiations. When you reach the Heavenly Rank, even B- and C-level divine radiations are no different from ordinary light."
Li Yi said thoughtfully:
"So, after the upper evolutionists reach 27 divine genes, they can choose to start coordinating the three elements?"
Zhou Bingying shook her head and said:
"No, we must first integrate all the divine genes and complete the coordination of genes before we can participate in the coordination of body and soul."
"This is why we are stronger than you upper evolutionists, because the divine genes in our bodies have been integrated. The total amount of divinity, quality, and even characteristics are higher than those of ordinary upper evolutionists."
The other people also suddenly understood.
After all, in Li Yi's group, the only one who has truly reached the top is Jiang Chaoqun, while the others are basically hovering around 24th, 25th, and 26th, and have not yet reached the top.
As for Li Yi himself, his goal is very ambitious, and 27 is certainly not the limit.
He can now display such impressive combat power with only 17 missiles, and therefore places more emphasis on strengthening the foundation.
When it comes to high-level competition, whoever has a more solid foundation will definitely have more advantages.
Li Yi said: "Sister Bingying, do you know anything about the cultivation after becoming a Heavenly Rank? For example, after becoming a Heavenly Rank, how can one obtain Heavenly Rank characteristics?"
