In the mecha class, the elder spoke incessantly about the basic structure of mechas and the key points of psychic energy transmission, his voice steady and authoritative. However, Chu Yang, sitting in the middle of the seat, was clearly immersed in his own world, not taking the class seriously at all.
Chu Yang twirled the psychic pen in his hand while scribbling frantically on his notebook. When he finished, he clapped Xiang Fan on the shoulder and said in a low voice, but with immense pride, "Look, little brother! I just had a flash of inspiration! This is the true psychic circuit optimization diagram, understand?"
Xiang Fan glanced at the chaotic blueprint, and alarm bells rang in his head: Psychic circuits were backflowing, core circuits were overloaded. If this thing were installed, not only would it lose energy, it would explode into fireworks. He tried to keep his expression calm, but in his mind, he was furiously complaining, "How can this be an optimization diagram? It's a suicide guide!"
Chu Yang proudly waved the blueprint. "See? This circuit is an innovative design I've specially researched! Once the experiment is successful, it's sure to cause a sensation throughout the sect!"
The corners of Xiang Fan's mouth twitched slightly, and he forced out a sentence: "Hmm... Senior Brother is amazing."
The elder's gaze suddenly swept over, and he walked up to Chu Yang. He glanced down at the pile of "masterpieces" and frowned, "Chu Yang, your thinking... is indeed a bit different."
Upon hearing this, Chu Yang straightened his back immediately. "Of course! Elder, innovation is the soul that drives progress! What era is it now? Why are you still using those outdated tricks? This roadmap of mine is definitely a benchmark for the next era!"
The elder frowned and shook his head helplessly: "First lay a solid foundation, then talk about innovation. If you dare to use this diagram, I'm afraid it will directly detonate the entire mecha."
Chu Yang waved his hand nonchalantly: "Don't worry, Elder, I know what's going on!" His tone was as relaxed as if he was chatting about today's weather.
Xiang Fan lowered his head, pretending to organize his notes, trying desperately to appear invisible. He knew full well that he couldn't say a single word at a time like this. Sure enough, Chu Yang pushed the blueprint in front of him again. "Little brother, what do you think of this design? Doesn't it look futuristic?"
Xiang Fan roared in his heart, "Futuristic? It's about traveling to another world!" But he replied perfunctorily, "Well, Senior Brother, you are indeed... different."
The bell finally rang, and Xiang Fan breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he had packed up his notebook, Chu Yang came up to him again and patted his shoulder mysteriously, "Don't be so anxious to leave, little brother. Today, I'll take you to see what a true mecha overlord looks like!"
Xiang Fan's heart tightened. "Again? Senior Brother, what's your shocking plan this time?"
Chu Yang lowered his voice, his face full of pride. "A Qi training-level guerrilla mecha! I saved up my pocket money for several months to get this. It's a true work of art! Wait until you see it, I guarantee you'll be so amazed you won't even be able to speak!"
Xiang Fan nodded reluctantly, "Let's go take a look then." Inwardly, he was silently calculating, "A Qi training-level mecha... combined with Senior Brother Chu's 'innovative ideas,' it's probably a mobile explosive device."
Seeing that he agreed, Chu Yang was overjoyed: "Come on! Let me show you around!" Without waiting for Xiang Fan to react, he put his arm around Xiang Fan's shoulders and strode towards the mecha parking area.
"Don't worry, I'm here to guide you. This time, I promise to let you know what top-level operations are. You'll be the king of Qi training mechas!" Chu Yang said confidently, completely unaware that Xiang Fan had silently recited the "life-saving spell" three times in his heart.
Chu Yang trotted along with Xiang Fan, mysteriously leading him to the mecha parking area in the sect's backyard. He excitedly lifted a piece of cloth, his movements full of ritual: "Little brother, the time to witness a miracle has come!"
Beneath the cloth, a strikingly stylish guerrilla mecha slowly revealed its true form. Its outer shell was painted red and black, with two absurdly large jets mounted on its shoulders and legs. A crooked "king" spiritual pattern was engraved on its chest, resembling a child's doodle.
"This is a high-end modified model that I bought with a mid-grade spirit stone!" Chu Yang patted the mecha's shell, his voice filled with pride. "It's more than three times more powerful than an ordinary Qi training-level mecha! It can easily defeat a Qi training level nine mecha!"
Xiang Fan stared at the mech. While he had to admit its appearance was certainly eye-catching, a closer look drew his attention to the psychic power interface. The messy connections made his mouth twitch. He muttered, "This circuit... I'm afraid the transmission efficiency isn't even half of what it normally is..."
However, due to his introverted personality, Xiang Fan chose to smile slightly: "Brother, this mecha is indeed... quite handsome."
"Hahaha! You have good taste, kid!" Chu Yang's nose turned up in triumph. "It's only handsome on the outside, its real strength lies in its combat power! I'll show you how powerful this mecha is later!"
Xiang Fan tentatively touched the mech's hull; the material felt fairly solid, but the jet connections were noticeably haphazard. He gave a dry laugh and complimented, "The jets are pretty... nice."
"Of course!" Chu Yang's eyes lit up. "I saved up my pocket money for several months to make this. Even the other Jindan cultivator would be wary of him!"
Xiang Fan's forehead broke out in a cold sweat as he listened, and he grumbled furiously in his heart, "This jet was clearly put on temporarily, wasn't it? Forget about the Golden Core cultivators, even a Qi training cultivator would have to run around it." But he still chose to follow the topic and agree, "Yeah, it's really impressive."
Seeing his envious expression, Chu Yang felt even more proud: "Little brother, you can't go wrong by following me! Come on, I'll take you to a real battlefield to broaden your horizons!"
Chu Yang pulled Xiang Fan out while saying mysteriously, "Today, I'll show you what a true mecha king looks like!"
They crossed several small paths and arrived at a brightly lit underground mecha exchange. The venue was spacious, with various modified mechas lined up in a row, and participants and spectators enthusiastically discussed the performance and combat effectiveness of the mechas.
"Shocking, right?" Chu Yang nudged Xiang Fan with his elbow and smiled like a fox. "This is the most famous underground exchange meeting in this area. Every day, the top modified mechas come here to compete. You know, the real strong ones are here!"
This was Xiang Fan's first time seeing such a scene. Although he didn't want to admit it, a hint of curiosity appeared in his eyes: "It's... quite lively."
Chu Yang pointed at the light shield in the center of the arena, his tone filled with pride: "Brother, I'm going to show you my skills today and show you what a crushing battle is!"
He strode to the registration desk, patted his chest and shouted, "Qi training level arena battle, one match will decide the winner!"
Xiang Fan hurriedly followed and asked in a low voice, "Brother, are you sure you can do this?"
Chu Yang glared at him, "Little brother, don't look down on me! I'm a rising star in this mecha world. Beating them is like playing a game." He winked at Fan and said, "Just wait and witness my legend!"
Xiang Fan stood by, watching Chu Yang confidently wait for his turn. Then, looking at the exaggerated guerrilla mecha, his heart was filled with mixed emotions: "I hope Senior Brother... won't be too embarrassed this time..."
