Legend of the chosen ones: Beyond Destiny

Chapter 177: Surprise (Thanks to our overlord who ensures a bright future for all of us)


How should one describe Ji Jue's creation?

At this moment, even with Professor Ye's years of experience and insight, she found herself at a loss for words...

You might say it's utterly useless, but the operation of directly shaping Mercury through Spiritual Wisdom is truly marvelous, simplifying the complex, maximizing cost-effectiveness.

The spiritual material Ji Jue needed to use was only for partial hardening and enhanced toughness of certain areas.

Not to mention, Fluid Alchemy's overall enhancement is far more flexible than Modern Alchemy when applied temporarily without the aid of a workshop.

As long as the essence is high enough, Fluid Alchemy can compensate to some extent for the deficiencies of the carrier, not to mention that Ji Jue possesses the utterly unreasonable 'Spirit First.'

If you claim it's masterful, the crude appearance, the makeshift Spiritual Power Source, and many designs that can hardly be considered ergonomic pale in comparison to military Power Armor; defense relies entirely on steel plates being hung on the outside, fire control is all by hand, radar all by eyesight... And yet, Ji Jue's capability acts upon the machinery, and then, through skill, extracts Spiritual Wisdom—it's not something out of nothing, nor is it a tree without roots.

In other words, he really cobbled together this thing at home using commonly found street-side items!

A full-coverage motorcycle helmet, a welder's mask, an old model transport-type exoskeleton from ten years ago, motors externally attached to the joints to enhance output, and steel plates welded directly onto it...

No need to look further; it's all junk.

But the issue lies in being able to put together such a pile of trash, squeezing out the last bit of functional effectiveness, and still creating something that can actually move and function.

Junk or not, it somehow came together.

What kind of chosen junk lord is this?

Could it be that dealing with scrap in the warehouse every day drove him mad?

For a while, Professor Ye didn't know whether to feel regret or pity.

She was not the least bit ashamed, looking at this damn thing so smug, he might well have been preparing this lesson for who knows how long.

But to what end?

Merely increasing a bit of defense and attack power? Can such a sewing monster, which has never been fully adapted, truly perform as the data on paper suggests?

If he can't move his legs, it's practically a walking coffin.

What then is the purpose...

In that instant, accompanied by a roar, the knockoff youthful version of the armor came charging forward, belching smoke like a meteor, churning up a terrifying wind pressure almost akin to that of a truck.

So what?

Professor Ye calmly took position, caught in the rare dilemma of what to do—smash this thing to pieces with a punch directly? Or use grappling moves? Throws? Or should she weld the gaps shut instead, leaving the student to move from clever tricks to self-entrapment?

But in that moment, she finally saw it.

Swinging towards her...

—Four arms!

Left, right, upper left, lower right...

In an instant, the folding joints from his shoulders and back opened up, and then, like the dexterous limbs of an insect, the agile arms were already swinging, without the sluggishness and clumsiness typical of mechanical limbs, but rather more nimble than flesh and blood!

It impressed Professor Ye.

Not bad.

Although it was just two extra limbs, for a Matrix like Non-attack that emphasizes manipulation, it was a breakthrough level of growth. Moreover, with Mechanical Descent at hand, there was no need to worry about losing control or neglecting one thing for another.

In an instant, exponential breakthrough and growth!

What a pity, it's useless.

The original magnitude was simply too low.

Even after the breakthrough and growth, for Professor Ye, it was virtually nothing.

Furthermore—

Boom!

It was only a moment of crossing, Mercury exploded, Ji Jue's shoulder, an industrial mechanical arm with six degrees of freedom that looked as if it had been ripped from some old lathe, was instantaneously severed at the waist, falling to pieces.

All that dexterity, rendered useless.

Ji Jue staggered, feeling a sharp pain in the waist.

In the moment of passing, apart from busting an arm with a forearm strike, Professor Ye's other hand, fingers like a blade, had already jabbed toward Ji Jue's waist.

After cleanly tearing through the waist armor, an intense pain that wouldn't go away lingered from his side to his spine.

In a moment of staggering, almost falling, the Mercury Armor shone with a ripple in the raucous noise of the Spiritual Furnace, and from charging forth, it suddenly twisted, with reinforced leg armor, sweeping wide.

The motor structure burst from its buffering, but that force unreservedly sloped out from the revolving.

Useless.

Professor Ye, like a phantom, easily stepped back, missing by an inch, and right after, Ji Jue's arms and the mechanical limbs behind him swept forward.

A bear hug!

A bit of brains, but not much...

—What use is having more hands?!

Lacking the effect of Non-attack, they're nothing but for show!

Good for bullying kids, but far from enough when things get serious!

Bang!

Ji Jue's sweeping left hand suddenly jolted, feeling as if it had been grabbed by something stronger than steel, restrained—it was Professor Ye's Right Hand. Then came a severe pain from behind, her other Left Hand had already joined together like a blade, chopping off the mechanical arm mounted on his back!

Then, a strike from below the palm, like a hammer, struck right on Ji Jue's right arm joint, shattering his original action with unstoppable force. Ji Jue was about to retaliate when he suddenly felt a chill on his face, only to realize, Professor Ye's Left Hand palm was already hovering near his face.

A straightforward push!

Thunder burst forth.

Block! Block! Block it! Block it!
