Chapter 133 - : Lu Zhishen’s New Ability
Chapter 133: Lu Zhishen’s New Ability
Dum! Dum! Dum…
Outside the colorful building complex of the Metal Men and in the area that used to be a battlefield above the Metal Men’s tunnels—
A fierce “battle” was taking place!
“Die!”
A soldier who had a set of black armor covering him from head to toe yelled. He had a Black Iron Bulldozer Crossbow, which looked a lot like the Bronze Bulldozer Crossbow in its structure, except that it was smaller in size and was made from metal only.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A few black metal arrows flew toward the opposite side with loud whooshing sounds.
“No, you won’t!”
Seeing the five black iron arrows coming at him, a soldier wearing a silver suit thrust his hand against the ground. With a flickering blue light, three metal shields rose out of the metal ground.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
The powerful metal arrows pierced all three metal shields that were under 1 cm thick and made on the spot, but they had also exhausted their energy in the process.
The soldier in silver grabbed the arrows all at once. A blue light then flickered, melting the five arrows into a single flying dagger!
Whoosh!
He then threw it back at the other side at a speed that wasn’t much slower than the arrows.
Pa!
When the flying dagger was about to hit a black-armored soldier, who was refilling the black iron crossbow, another black-armored soldier holding a red wood shield as tall as a man moved over to stop the metal dagger for his companion.
Behind the shield, heavy black smoke rose out of the black-armored soldiers, blocking the silver-suited soldier’s view of his opponent.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The next second, the black-armored soldier had refilled the metal arrows and was ready to shoot again. He had shifted to another position and shot five arrows in a row. They flew past the metal shield, forcing the silver-suited soldier to roll around on the ground to avoid them.
It was a battle between ten Silver Suit Guards and the same number of Black Armor Soldiers.
Theoretically, the Silver Suit Guards should have all the advantage. After all, the Souls of Civilization that formed them had reached Extraordinary Rank-1, while that of the Black Armor Soldiers were only Extraordinary Rank-0.
But that wasn’t what actually happened.
The Black Mountain Armors Ji Ye and Lu Zhishen obtained from the Battlefield of Providence were of Excellent grade, which meant that the Liang Shan soldiers that were able to pass the test to get summoned were also Elites. They could even have the potential of Quasi-Commanders!
Although the extraordinary power of the individual Black Mountain Armor couldn’t be used, once a battle formation was formed, that power could be activated.
Right now, the ten Black Armor Soldiers had combined their forces. With the battle formation, their combat ability had definitely reached a level that was no inferior to that of Extraordinary Rank-5 heroes!
Although the Silver Suit Guards had higher levels, they were obviously a little rusty in their cooperation and had to choose to fight individually. As a result, they were slightly on the back foot when facing the excellent joint effort of the Black Armor Soldiers.
Ding, ding, ding…
On the other side of the battlefield, the combat between the leaders of the two “special forces” was a different story.
The black smoke of the soul power floated above Yang Zhi’s Black Mountain Armor. As he wielded his Black Mountain Saber, electromagnetic light flickered, and he was giving off a strong desire to fight.
Opposite him, Lu Zhishen didn’t bare his chest, which was very rare for him. Instead, he wore a set of golden armor and held a Frost Metal Meditation Staff that was a size bigger than the previous one. When he waved it, it gave off a cold air that covered the ground nearby with frost.
[Frost Metal Meditation Staff]
[Level: Extraordinary Rank-4]
[Rarity: Excellent]
[Description: A weapon made with extremely exquisite craftsmanship after the medium-grade frost iron was fused with the Ice Soul Crystal. It weighed over 100 kg and was very demanding on its wielder!]
Ji Ye obtained an Ice Soul Crystal after killing the Soul race Commander, but he hadn’t put it to use until now.
When Tang Long heard about the reforging of Lu Zhishen’s Frost Metal Meditation Staff, he made a request to Ji Ye and fused it with the new frost metal, which quality had improved after the upgrade of the settlement, thus creating this Extraordinary weapon.
The meditation staff was so cold that it could attack the soul. Needless to say, it could, to some extent, suppress Yang Zhi’s Black Mountain Armor.
However, the meditation staff wasn’t the reason why Lu Zhishen could suppress Yang Zhi. It was because the first Perfect hero of the Twin Dragon Mount had already reached Extraordinary Rank-5.
Unlike Ji Ye’s Nine Yang Divine Art, the “qualitative change” Lu Zhishen gained after he reached Extraordinary Rank-5 wasn’t simply unleashing his inner strength. Rather, he learned a technique that could hit someone when they were separated by a barrier.
When facing Lu Zhishen, who had reached Extraordinary Rank-5, the defensive ability of the armor was significantly weakened. If that new 100 kg Frost Metal Meditation Staff hit someone directly on the body, it would be able to crush even bones made of iron.
Moreover, his incredible strength had also improved. With the Soft Golden Armor made by Tang Long, which was as impressive in its defensive ability as Yang Zhi’s Black Mountain Armor, even if he had just reached Extraordinary Rank-5, Lu Zhishen was already fighting fiercely against Yang Zhi and was almost gaining ground.
Ting! Ting! Ting!
Finally, after exchanging about 50 blows, the combat ended with Yang Zhi dropping his Black Mountain Saber.
“That was fun!”
Lu Zhishen took off the Soft Golden Armor, revealing his peony tattoo. He shouted happily.
“Brother, you’ve enjoyed yourself, but you’ve broken my arms…”
Opposite him, Yang Zhi took off his helmet, and his forehead was covered with sweat.
Lu Zhishen’s incredible strength was almost too much to bear after he reached Extraordinary Rank-5. When he smashed the Frost Metal Meditation Staff down, the strength it exerted could be as heavy as 2,500 kg. Because of Lu Zhishen’s ability to make strikes through barriers, Yang Zhi didn’t dare to withstand the strike with his armor only. He had to parry with the Black Mountain Saber and became inferior in the combat!
Of course, to some extent, it was also because of the fact that the Black Mountain Saber was a ranged weapon for fighting on horseback, and it didn’t work as well when fighting on the ground.
“Master, I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you!”
After he left the battleground and got treated by Ji Ye, Yang Zhi was smiling again when his arms were back to normal.
“That’s it for today. I need to go back to the settlement later.”
Ji Ye told the other two.
Ji Ye had discussed with Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi and came up with this training method. By having the Black Armor Soldiers and Silver Suit Guards fight against each other, they could stimulate each other’s competitiveness to form combat effectiveness at a faster speed.
And they could choose that method because of Ji Ye’s Healing talent. As long as a person was still breathing, he could repair them and make them as good as new.
It had been three days since the Twin Dragon Mount established the two special forces.
And it had been uneventful so far.
After all, the alien races nearby had been wiped out, and the Eagle Men on the opposite cliff hadn’t made any move yet.
However, this peaceful time was probably going to end soon.
Because in about an hour, the second batch of new people would have entered the Land of Inheritance for an entire month.
There were over 30 players in the Twin Dragon Mount now, which was about 1/10 of the total population.
For the second stage, even if one reentered after they died, they still had to wait for a whole month before they could go offline.
Many people had been in the Land of Inheritance for a very long time.
Now that they could go offline, they couldn’t wait to go back to Earth.
