The battlefield in the Chaos Realm was swirling with dust, and psychic artillery fire swept across the land like a meteor shower. The protagonists were engaged in a fierce battle with a high-level AI mecha. This mecha was like a steel behemoth, its shield indestructible, and its psychic cannon terrifyingly powerful. Shadow Killer hid behind the ruins, his tone tinged with despair, "This guy's shield is simply cheating! His psychic level is almost close to the peak of the Golden Core stage. We Foundation Establishment players are simply unable to defeat him!"
Ling Ruoxi controlled the Sky Sword Armor to flank the enemy and swung her sword down, accurately chopping the armor of the AI mecha. But the next second, she was knocked back by the counterattack energy wave and almost fell on her butt on the ruins. "How can this guy be so tough! Boss, hurry up and support me! I can't hold on any longer!"
Zero, piloting his distressingly worn basic mech, calmly moved from the edge of the battlefield. His long-range rune cannons precisely aimed at the AI mech's vital parts, firing unhurriedly. "You guys continue to draw the fire. I'll see if I can weaken its shield."
The Xuanwu Guard raised its shield, forcibly blocking a heavy artillery barrage from the AI mecha. The shield was ablaze with spiritual light, and its tone was full of despair. "Hey, boss, this thing's output is too outrageous! It hits me with the firepower of a golden elixir, and I hit it with nothing but tickles. Hurry and find a way, my shield is almost turned into scrap metal!"
Just as everyone was gritting their teeth, Zero's mech suddenly accelerated, and a stream of light from his lightsaber pierced the weak spot in the AI mech's shield. With a sharp crack, a noticeable crack appeared in the shield. Shadow Killer was stunned, nearly dropping his dagger. "Boss, what kind of incredible operation is this? Can a basic mech pull off this trick? Going straight through the shield?"
Zero's voice was as calm as ever: "Maybe the mecha's performance is good."
Upon hearing this, Ling Ruoxi nearly threw the mecha at him, "Boss, are you kidding me? This is clearly a basic Qi training-level mecha. Even the psychic stabilization system is outdated! Good performance? That's an understatement!"
Zero ignored her, continuing to control his mech to launch another attack. The AI mech's shields quickly recovered, and it launched another fierce counterattack, forcing the protagonists' mechs back. At this moment, Zero's mech emitted a low humming sound, and the psychic energy fluctuations on its surface suddenly intensified, and the runic patterns on the armor illuminated with a dazzling light.
The Xuanwu guard couldn't help but exclaimed, "Boss, how come your mecha's psychic energy level has suddenly skyrocketed? It's almost at the middle level of the Golden Core! Can this basic mecha be used like this?"
The Shadow Killer laughed out loud: "Hahaha, the boss is really a hidden talent. It turns out this broken mecha is a treasure! Tell me quickly, did you secretly modify it when you bought it?"
In the cockpit, Xiang Fan wiped the sweat from his forehead, his lips twitching. "This mech... maybe it's triggered a hidden function." He quickly analyzed the data on the screen, his fingers tapping rapidly on the control panel. The energy overload warning kept popping up, but he pretended not to see it. "This one strike, I have to finish it."
Zero's mech suddenly flashed in front of the AI mech, and with incredible speed, he unleashed a flurry of lingxiao sword techniques, each strike precisely weakening the AI mech's shields. Ten seconds later, the shields completely collapsed. Without hesitation, Zero focused all his energy on his lightsaber and stabbed the AI mech's core.
With a huge explosion, the AI mecha collapsed, and its core turned into a dazzling light and then disappeared completely.
Ling Ruoxi was stunned: "Boss... this is too much! A basic mecha fighting a peak-level Jindan AI, what kind of operation is this?!"
The Shadow Killer couldn't help but burst into an exaggerated laugh. "Today's battle will be written into the legendary list of the Spirit Realm Battlefield! Zero, the eternal god of the Black Iron Zone!"
The Xuanwu guard panted and sighed, "This is so exciting! I almost thought we were going to be wiped out this time. Boss, can you lend me this mecha for a few days? Let me experience the feeling of being admired!"
Xiang Fan took off his helmet and slumped in the driver's seat, muttering to himself with lingering fear: "This hidden function is too dangerous. The energy fluctuation almost blew up the mecha... I must never fight like this next time."
After the battle, as the protagonists were collecting their spoils in the ruins of the battlefield, Ling Ruoxi couldn't help but glance at Zero a few times and said thoughtfully, "Boss, I always feel like you're hiding a lot of secrets. If I find out one day, won't you treat us to a big meal?"
Zero turned around and left the mecha, his voice faint: "We'll talk about it when you find out."
The Lingxiao Sect's martial arts arena was bustling with activity. A third-generation elder stood on the high platform, his gaze sweeping over the disciples below, his face solemn. He announced, "After discussion within the sect, we have decided to send fourth- and fifth-generation disciples to Yunxuan Star to participate in the Yunxuan City Trial. The date is set for five days from now. All disciples must prepare as soon as possible."
The audience immediately erupted in an uproar, with the disciples talking among themselves. Some were excited, some were nervous, and some, self-aware of their own lack of strength, turned pale.
Chu Yang, however, was as excited as a wild horse. He patted Fan's shoulder, his eyes shining, "Xiao Fan, Yunxuan City! This is a rare opportunity for us little shrimps to show our faces. Aren't you excited?!"
Xiang Fan's shoulder felt numb from being patted. He gave an awkward smile and muttered softly, "Brother, I... with my strength, can I really go? Will it bring shame to the sect?"
Chu Yang immediately looked at him with a "Why are you so useless?" expression. "Nonsense! If I can go, why can't you? Besides, this trial is a great opportunity to broaden your horizons. Even if you're not strong enough, it doesn't matter. I've got you covered!"
