Chapter 69: Divine Light Bullet (7,000 words, please vote for me)
Li Yi opened his eyes and immediately felt countless eager gazes.
Looking around, everyone else in the group also had confused looks on their faces.
"Hahaha, it looks like you guys encountered some major challenges in the end."
Sun Duxiu laughed loudly, took two or three leaps, and rushed over from a distance.
He rolled his eyes and said with a smile:
"Your expressions when you popped up can't be hidden from me. I've been watching you the whole time. Tell me, did you enter the third level and encounter any powerful enemies?"
Li Yi was speechless. Although Sun Duxiu was easy to fool, his stubborn personality made him actually discover something.
Everyone in the group looked at Li Yi, and Li Yi smiled and said:
"Yes, we have entered the third level. Judging from the looks of all of you, you haven't even found a way to break through the first barrier of the second level, right?"
Sun Duxiu choked and said:
"Don't even mention us. Class 2 next door is all stuck at the second level."
"Class 2 is so weak? Someone from Class 1 made it to the third level?"
Li Yi said in surprise.
"That's right. The advantage of Class 2 is that the experts are evenly distributed, so half of their teams can make it to the second level. But because of this, they are stuck in the second level. Even the team led by the strongest Yang Hao couldn't break through the encirclement of the four mechas."
"As for Class 1, they are a group of experts that are very powerful."
"The first one is Zhou Huize, the second one is Lin Susu, the third one is Cai Zheng, and the sixth one is Lin Xianxian, and the eighth one is Gou Wenyuan. The five strongest people joined forces, and their configuration is even more powerful than Fang Tao's group. At the cost of losing one person, they broke through the encirclement of the six mechas!"
"It is said that they are only one step away from clearing the last barrier of the second level!"
Sun Duxiu revealed all the information to Li Yi.
"So you still haven't cleared the third level?"
"That's about right. Anyway, now that I've provided you with so much information, you guys should at least show some appreciation, right?"
Sun Duxiu said proudly.
Li Yi smiled and said:
"Okay, seeing that you are so awesome, I might as well tell you that we not only entered the third level, but also obtained intelligence that the advance team didn't find. It's a great benefit."
"Is that all?"
"Other information is too valuable. I've seen quite a few people discussing what you just said in the short time since I posted it. It's just general information and isn't worth much."
"Damn it, don't be so picky."
"Don't use that tone. I can't accept it."
Li Yi pushed Sun Duxiu away with a look of disgust.
Fang Tao was also nearby. When he saw the two finished their chat, he came over and said with a smile, "Li Yi, you are really tight-lipped."
"We can't help it. Our team's overall strength is weaker than your team of experts. If we don't keep it a secret, we basically have no chance of winning."
Li Yi said frankly.
As he was talking, Chen Qiongzhi came out and said, "Everyone gather!"
…
“This time today, the overall performance was a little better than last time, but not much.”
As soon as these words came out, many people felt nervous.
The tune is not beautiful.
"However, they did not make the same low-level mistakes as before, which is commendable."
Chen Qiongzhi smiled and said:
"Today, the team of Li Yi, Yao Shiwan, Tan Haoran, Cai Xiaodong, and Zuo Ying was the first among the three classes to reach the third level. They marched cautiously along the way and attacked with lightning speed when they saw an opportunity. This is what a mature combat team should be like. Not bad."
Everyone immediately glanced over with envy.
really!
Li Yi’s team really made it to the third level!
The first wave made it to the third level, so isn't it safe to say that the Ancient Ruins spot is secured? "Moreover, we also obtained additional key intelligence with a total value of over 60 million. Our contribution to the advance team is still far ahead of the three special classes. Our spirit of exploration and our achievements are both worthy of praise."
"Therefore, the Best Contribution Award worth 6 million yuan still fell into their hands without any suspense."
“I hope other groups can give more strength and not let them dominate all the time.”
"Especially you, Fang Tao. You are the strongest in the class, but you haven't made any significant achievements yet! Reflect on yourself!"
"In the future, I hope you will guard against arrogance and continue to strengthen your training. Otherwise, your current strength configuration will definitely not allow you to pass this level."
As he spoke, Chen Qiongzhi pointed out other groups and commented on them one by one.
…
canteen.
At lunch time, the five of them got together.
"Li Yi, do you understand what the last explosion was?"
Li Yi shook his head.
At this moment, he couldn't figure out what it was.
Yao Shiwan said: "I just checked our family's intelligence information background, I think the explosion should be a divine light bomb."
"Divine Light Bullet?"
Tan Haoran said thoughtfully:
"Is it the legendary special weapon in the ancient ruins that was used to deal with the invasion of divine mechas?"
"That kind of explosive shock wave with an astonishing speed, and the attack mode that instantly put us into overload mode, I think there should be no other thing except this thing."
"What's the solution?"
"Before the divine shock wave arrives, just activate the divine shield. Of course, it needs to be of a certain strength."
Pharmacist Wan smiled bitterly. In her opinion, this method was completely unrealistic for them.
Tan Haoran frowned and said, "As I recall, you need to be able to continuously activate the total amount of divinity for at least 5 minutes at a time to activate the divinity shield, right?"
Cai Xiaodong said: "Wouldn't that mean I can't do it at all? I can only do it for 2 minutes at a time, so it's definitely impossible. Of course, if I can do it intermittently, I can do it for more than half an hour, not to mention 6 minutes."
"It's definitely not okay to do it intermittently."
Pharmacist Wan shook her head and said, "Intermittent, which means that the total amount of instantaneous stimulation does not meet the standard."
"Pharmacist Wan, how long does your divine power last each time you activate it?"
Li Yi asked.
"My limit is 4 and a half minutes."
The pharmacist shook his head.
Tan Haoran added: "My current time is 4 minutes."
"Li Yi, what about you? You are so strong now, it should be 5 minutes, right?"
Cai Xiaodong asked quickly.
After these words were spoken, several people couldn't help but stare at Li Yi.
With Li Yi's strength, it should be able to stimulate for a long time, right?
Li Yi touched his chin. Since he evolved into an Evolver, he has not tested the specific data in this regard.
The main factors affecting divine inspiration are the matching degree of the divine mecha, the strength of the soul, and the degree of physical evolution.
He had just broken the time limit once before, increasing it from 5 seconds to 20 seconds.
The cooldown time has been reduced from 15 seconds to 5 seconds.
Now that he has divine genes in his body, his soul strength has also improved significantly with the help of the steel pillar of thought.
The current total excitation time should see a big leap forward.
But he estimated that it should be less than five minutes.
After all, the first factor in stimulating divinity is matching.
After thinking about it, Li Yi decided to do some expectation management to prevent them from having too high expectations of him:
"Don't you see that I rarely use my divine skills? My current activation speed hasn't caught up with yours?"
"This means that the duration of my divinity activation is still a shortcoming. Even if I reach the learning standard of the divinity shield, I probably can't proceed to the next level alone."
"As for now, I suggest that you go back and use your own methods to see if there are other ways to withstand the divine light bullet."
"Then, intensify your training and wait for next week's arrangements."
Everyone was slightly disappointed.
"All right."
There is no way. The main reason is that Li Yi has given them too many surprises before, which made them subconsciously dependent on Li Yi.
I just remembered it now, yes, Li Yi has just become an evolver.
Moreover, his matching degree with the divine mecha is still very low, and there are so many factors that limit him.
But even so, he can still demonstrate such outstanding combat power.
When they thought of this, everyone had a new understanding of how terrifying Li Yi was.
As for the profit sharing this time, the funds have not yet arrived as the research on the evolution information of the two corpses has not yet produced any results.
You can only wait for distribution later.
…
After today's training camp ended, Li Yi had dinner and returned to the dormitory.
He was going to search for some relevant information about the Shenguan bomb.
Also, find out if there are any nutrients that can increase the speed of evolution.
The ones he had ordered before were mainly those with relatively high cost performance after comparing them on various posts on the intranet.
As he became an Evolver, its effectiveness has diminished considerably.
If necessary, you still need to get a more suitable nutritional supplement.
After all, if the function of divine radiation is to expand the water reservoir, then the nutrient agent is the pressurizer of the water pipe, which can increase the speed of water injection.
"Let's try the keyword 'Secondary Limit Breaking' first to see if there are any similar Secondary Limit Breakers on the intranet."
Thinking of this, Li Yi said, "Xiao She, help me search for the evolvers who have broken through the limit twice. What kind of nutritional supplements are best for physical development? The ranking will be based on the professional rating."
"I received it and will search for it for you now."
"We have retrieved 7 highly relevant articles, posts, videos, etc."
"Only seven?"
"Yes, it's mainly search terms related to secondary limit breaking. The frequency of mention on the intranet is very low, with only 21 in total."
“What are the other 14 articles mainly about?”
"According to the abstract, the main contents are related conjectures, or theoretical papers on how to make the evolutionists gain a stronger foundation."
Li Yi thought:
“Are all papers theoretical? Are there any specific experimental data in them?”
"Unfortunately, no."
"Tell me why the paper does not have these experimental data. If the reasons are different for each paper, please summarize them."
"Okay, according to the summary of the paper, there are two main reasons why there is no experimental data."
"First, there is no way for the human body to achieve a breakthrough in the first place, so a second breakthrough is impossible."
"Second, some of them involve more in-depth content and are classified confidentially. You cannot view them at this time."
Li Yi shrugged: "Okay, it seems that I asked unnecessary questions."
At that moment, he asked AI Xiaoshe to project the contents of the remaining seven articles onto the light screen and scan them quickly.
The previous few articles were not very helpful.
It was not until the article "Record of the Excavation of the Martial Saint's Bones in the Tomb of King Chenliu in the Earth Era" that Li Yi's attention was attracted.
This article only costs 100 star coins, which is not a high price, so Li Yi paid the fee readily.
To put it simply, the story is about a warrior who lived in the ancient times of the Xia Kingdom during the Earth Era. It was said that he could tear tigers and leopards apart alive, hurl giants, and was invulnerable to swords and spears, as well as water and fire.
In short, it was recorded very seriously at the time and became famous far and wide.
Moreover, this person later participated in the dynasty uprising and was named the king of the opposite sex, which was recorded in history books.
Fifty years ago, the remains of this man who was revered as the Martial Saint were excavated. His bones were as hard as gold and silver and extremely tough.
Several notebooks were also found in his tomb, with words vaguely mentioning breaking the limit twice, three times, four times, and so on.
This also had a significant sensational effect on the relatively mature divine evolution system at that time.
Because it was not until humans entered the interstellar age that they began to move towards evolution.
But unexpectedly, before entering the interstellar age, some individuals had successfully achieved the effect of divine evolution.
Although it is an extremely rare case.
But it was indeed very interesting for Li Yi to watch.
And it is believed that this may involve some secrets of using martial arts to break limits.
Unfortunately, he searched the intranet but found no relevant content.
There is no clue as to the whereabouts of the corpse.
Li Yi immediately cried out what a pity.
"If it was ordinary, common fighting skills memory, I would have collected them all long ago by trying my luck with parallel memory."
"But if it's a fighting technique from ancient times, or has been forgotten for a long time, or it exists in modern times but I have never come into contact with it, I cannot generate the corresponding memory fragments in my dreams."
"If I have a chance to get this corpse, maybe I can get the memories related to the combat limit breaking."
"What a pity. I'll record it in my personal file for now. I'll see if I can have the same luck again when I have the chance."
After completing the archive.
Li Yi read all the remaining posts.
"Damn, these are all guesses. Forget it, why not just ask Lin Guotao."
He wanted to do some homework.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Unexpectedly, there was no relevant information on the intranet.
Immediately, he made a call.
…
"Li Yi? What's wrong? How are you using the Thought Steel Pillar recently?"
Hearing this voice, Li Yi raised his eyebrows slightly.
When Lin Guotao first took over, his voice was a little low, but it was quickly covered up.
What difficulties have you encountered in this situation?
I habitually kept pondering in my mind, and quickly answered:
"Not bad, a lot of gains."
"That's fine. You have to control the rhythm of this thing. Don't use it too often. But don't be afraid of it. Keep using it and you will definitely have a great breakthrough."
"When I have time in a few days, I will take you to test the strength of your soul. If it meets the standard, I will work on it for you again. You should be able to become an evolver soon."
Lin Guotao on the other end of the phone seemed a little nagging.
Li Yi interrupted, "Well, I became an evolver last week and generated the Pluto divine gene in my body."
“…”
"What? You became an Evolver? Are you serious?"
Lin Guotao couldn't help but raise his voice a little
"Yes, there is no need to lie to the commander."
Li Yi was speechless: "Besides, I always thought that you had a way to monitor my progress at any time, sir."
"Hahahaha, that's great. It's good to become an evolver. I feel comfortable."
On the other end of the line, Lin Guotao burst into laughter.
Li Yi waited.
Lin Guotao wanted Li Yi to ask why he felt comfortable, but Li Yi didn't take the opportunity. He could only continue: "Recently, some people above have been discussing whether I, the ideological pillar, should be delegated to non-evolvers so early. I suppressed it, thinking that as long as you become an evolver as soon as possible, the discussion will disappear."
"But even so, it still brings me some trouble."
"But now that you have become an evolver, it has solved my worries."
"Li Yi, thank you for your hard work."
Li Yi said: "It's nothing, it's just my job."
Lin Guotao laughed and shook his head on the other end of the communication line, "It was my fault. I didn't expect you to become an Evolver so quickly in just a few days. I'm really surprised and delighted."
"Sir, it's not too late. After all, I am good at using various fighting techniques to stimulate and improve my physical fitness. I have broken the limit before, so my improvement speed will definitely not be slow."
"Well, it's my shallowness that has underestimated the potential of top fighting masters. By the way, what do you want from me?"
Lin Guotao was in a good mood and looked very happy.
Some middle-level fleet personnel who passed by were somewhat surprised at Lin Guotao's changes.
His face was obviously gloomy before.
"That's right, sir. I want to know what nutritional medicine I should take to improve faster after breaking the limit for the second time."
Lin Guotao thought for a moment and said, "Since you have successfully broken through the limit twice and become an Evolver, then I will ask for a leave for you the day after tomorrow. I will take you to a place for a detailed physical examination and match you with a dedicated pharmacist."
"A dedicated pharmacist?"
Li Yi said in surprise.
"That's right. Since you are already a participant in the confidentiality-level project, how could we allow you to research some messy and unreliable medicines on your own?"
Lin Guotao said with a smile: "You can break the limit twice, your body is precious. If you eat carelessly and damage your body, it will be a huge loss for us humans."
Li Yi blushed and said, "It's not necessary to mobilize so many troops, right?"
Lin Guotao smiled and said, "We don't need to mobilize a large army, but we need to be cautious."
“No one knows which potions may seem to be effective but may actually destroy your foundation.”
"Essentially, medicine is three-part poison."
"Even if we have used all means, we still cannot avoid this kind of problem."
"Of course, you still have to do what you normally do."
"Also, since you have successfully broken the limit for the second time, your confidentiality level will be raised to another level."
"It is impossible for a dedicated pharmacist to know your specific situation. You only need to hand over the test results to the other party and tell them your specific requirements. The other party will issue you a suitable medicine."
"Is it free?" Li Yi asked.
"certainly."
"But the free service has a fixed limit. If you want to use more than that, you have to pay for it yourself."
Li Yi nodded and said, as long as it’s free.
Although he has made a small profit of tens of millions now, this money is still rootless.
Considering his current need for various nutritional supplements, tens of millions is simply not enough to spend.
"Then what about the nutrients that the special class absorbed after gravity training? Will they still be used in the future?"
"These have no effect, just continue to use them."
After some communication, Li Yi temporarily put aside his worries about the nutrient supplements and asked about the divine light bomb.
"Divine Light Bullet?"
Lin Guotao pondered and said:
"At present, there is no other reliable method except the divine shield or avoiding the flashing range."
"How do we determine the flashing range?"
"Generally speaking, the records of divine light bullets that have existed in the ruins either show a flashing range of ten kilometers in an instant, or a flashing range of thirty kilometers in an instant."
"Within this range, all divine mechas will be forced to shut down if they cannot support a divine shield of sufficient strength, or the pilots will be directly put into an overload state."
"Then if we hide in the underground passage, will it be effective?"
Lin Guotao replied:
"Someone has tried this before. If the flashing range is ten kilometers, unless you can instantly enter an underground passage less than 30 meters deep, you will still be flashed and the system will crash."
"If the flashing range is thirty kilometers, then we need a depth of 90 meters, or even 100 meters to be safe."
Li Yi felt a slight headache. It melted through 30 meters in an instant. The ground was made of a special alloy. Even if five Changrong mechas used their full strength, they might not be able to handle it.
Is this really going to be a level jam? Or do I need to change the path?
"Does everyone in the flashing range arrive instantly? Won't the lightning at the point of the explosion be fast, and the ones on the periphery be slower?"
Lin Guotao asked in return:
"The divine light bullet flashes 10 kilometers per second. With your current reaction speed and movement speed, does it make any difference whether you stand in the center or on the periphery?"
"Okay, thank you for your answer, sir."
Li Yi felt a little helpless. It seemed that he could only wait until he entered the dream tonight and then review his previous memories to see if there was any other solution.
"Well, remember, you don't have to leave the dormitory the day after tomorrow. I will come here to pick you up then."
…
The next morning.
After the physical training was completed, Fang Tao and Zhou Qisheng, as well as two other men and one woman, came to find Li Yi.
The remaining two men and one woman were the virtual reality exploration team led by Fang Tao.
They are He Qizhen, who ranks 5th in the class, He Qiying, who ranks 14th, and Chen Litang, who ranks 7th.
Fang Tao stared at Li Yi and said in a deep voice:
"Li Yi, we have seen those incubators, and the last two were eliminated by the hundred-meter-class biological mecha."
When Yao Shi Wan saw people surrounding Li Yi, she quickly ran over and asked, "What are you doing with so many people surrounding him?"
Li Yi gave Yao Shiwan a reassuring look and said with a smile, "Don't worry, let's listen to what the squad leader has to say in detail."
Fang Tao nodded slightly and said, "Of course we have no ill intentions. There are so many of us here, we are all from the same class, and we will be comrades in the future. We definitely have no intention of putting pressure on you. It's just that there are too many people here and they are all talking nonsense, so we just want to block unnecessary sight."
Yao Shiwan snorted lightly, "There are two mouths for one thing. Who knows what all of you are thinking?"
Fang Tao spread his hands and said with a wry smile:
"Let me make my intention clear first. It won't be too late for you to deny me, Yaoshi Wan, right?"
"Just say it, don't waste time." Li Yi said.
"It's like this. We fought off two waves of attacks from the guard mechas at the cost of three casualties, and then continued to move forward in the direction with fewer giant trees. We saw a giant egg. Despite the warning from AI Xiaochi, we still couldn't avoid seeing a tiger-headed giant beast hatched."
Fang Tao lowered his voice and narrated slowly:
"This tiger-headed beast was 92 meters tall. With a roar, it knocked Qisheng into controlled stiffness, which shocked me. Then, the beast transformed into a divine mecha and attacked me. I resisted for more than ten seconds, but eventually died of exhaustion."
In the meantime, Fang Tao also described a lot of details, which increased the credibility of the intelligence.
Li Yi and Pharmacist Wan listened quietly.
Nearby, Cai Xiaodong, Tan Haoran and Zuo Ying also saw the situation and walked over.
When He Qizhen and his companions who had surrounded them saw that it was Cai Xiaodong and his two companions, they did not stop them and put them into the inner circle.
Fang Tao finished speaking and smiled, "Well, this is what we saw at the end of the second level. I wonder if it is useful to you?"
Li Yi shook his head and said, "Squad leader, you want to exchange information with me, right? But unfortunately, your experience is of no use to our team."
Fang Tao nodded slightly:
"I see. Since you are not surprised by the information I have kept secret, it means you have also seen this giant egg? Or the divine mecha transformed from the tiger-headed beast? And then defeated it and entered the third level?"
Li Yi smiled and said:
"You can guess as you like, class monitor, but before the three classes compete, I cannot reveal more information. As for after the competition is over and the quota is determined, if you want to know, I can tell you."
"No need, I know roughly this much, and it's almost enough. Thank you for the information you gave me."
After saying that, Fang Tao gestured to the others and turned away.
…
Zhou Qisheng said, "Old Fang, being able to pry this information out of Li Yi's mouth is still helpful. Don't be so calm."
Fang Tao shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't have enough information. In fact, Li Yi has seen through my intentions and gave me hints. But I'm worried that even if I know the third level is right in front of me, I won't be able to defeat the Tiger-Headed Mecha."
He Qizheng said: "Even if Li Yi has the strength comparable to Lao Zhou or even you, Boss Fang, his other teammates are not good enough except for Yao Shi Wan. With their strength configuration, they must have found some clever way to complete the kill."
"I understand. The key is that this method is not easy to implement."
Fang Tao said with a headache.
As an elite of the Quan clan, he has been concentrating on the evolution of the human body and the control of mechas, and has demonstrated outstanding talents in combat and tactical command.
But outside of fighting, he is often adept and at ease.
But now, he couldn't figure out how to break out of the encirclement of six mechas with his current strength and configuration, and at the same time deal with the huge 95-meter-tall divine mecha.
Does that mean I have to explore the first level again? ...
After Fang Tao and others left, Yao Shiwan couldn't help but laugh:
"They encountered a 95-meter-long one. It seems they were really unlucky."
Li Yi said: "It's normal. They can fight their way out of the densely populated area, so they will definitely be judged as a strong team. So judging from the layout logic of the ruins, there will definitely be stronger creatures to be hatched, at least not worse than the elephant-headed creature."
Cai Xiaodong was also surprised: "From the looks of it, they want to find out a strategy from us? But with their strong configuration, how could they not think of attacking in advance and interrupting the hatching?"
Li Yi smiled and said:
"There were only two of them left at the time, and it is very likely that AI Koike's warning to retreat distracted their thinking, so they chose to retreat instead of attacking."
"As for the other three people who died, they didn't know the specific circumstances, so they are probably still in a blind spot. I guess next time they will reduce the casualties and realize the problem when they see the tiger-headed creature."
Several people suddenly understood.
Li Yi concluded: "This is the importance of intelligence gap. No matter what level of war it is, mastering intelligence is equivalent to obtaining the magic weapon for victory."
Cai Xiaodong curled his lips and said, "That would require someone like you, someone so abnormal that he can memorize maps at will, recognize walking traces at will, and judge all kinds of key information."
"For us ordinary people, we might as well find a way to hold on to our thighs."
After these words were spoken, Tan Haoran and Cai Xiaodong looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
