The world of cultivation is full of dangers, and Jie Li often has to go out on business, and without any cultivation, he is always a hidden danger.
The best way is to strengthen your equipment.
Zhu Changyang had long wanted to make some self-protection devices for Jie Li.
This matter is simple to say, it is just about solving the problem of attack and defense, but the specific operation is not easy.
Offensive weapons are easy, just pile up various thermal weapons.
Defensive equipment is much more difficult to make. It must be practical, sensitive and portable enough to compete with monks who use air as shields.
The most suitable ones are naturally the armors in science fiction movies.
However, Zhu Changyang's technology has not yet reached the level of science fiction. Even in modern society, this kind of armor still only exists in theory and is far from the practical stage.
Fortunately, this is the world of cultivation. If you don’t have enough skills, you can make up for it with magic.
For example, in the selection of materials, the metals and plastics commonly used in modern times are still slightly fragile in the world of cultivation, and can be cut in half with a single sword by a cultivator at a higher level.
However, some spiritual materials can, to a certain extent, be comparable to the "alien metals" that often appear in movies.
The main material used to make this set of armor is the shell of the Shapo Insect King that Zhu Changyang brought back from the Wusheng Forbidden Zone. Then, it uses materials such as Tianzhuhuang fiber to adjust its flexibility and reduce impact. Finally, it is supplemented with a small amount of Shensha Feixue to make it light and easy to control.
The most difficult part is its assembly technique.
After all, Zhu Changyang is not Iron Man, and cannot really make that kind of fully automatic armor.
However, he found various advanced materials including mechanical exoskeletons in the [Library] function, and incorporated micro-transmission devices and pressure sensors into the armor plates, assisted by spiritual power connection, allowing the armor to truly move from a model to a practical stage.
And all of this was accomplished by him and the cleavage.
His jieli skills were not good enough, so Jun Shu had to help him with his luck for part of the process.
However, the energy that Jun Shu input into his body could not be absorbed and transformed without passing through his spiritual roots. It was like a disposable battery, which could only last for a short moment before dissipating.
But at least it allows cleavage to gain a deeper understanding of this work.
Jie Li memorized every step of refining the armor and adjusted its performance over and over again until he wore it himself.
Although the finished product is still far from reaching the true science fiction level, some operations such as controlling the flying and combination of armor pieces still require the assistance of magic power.
However, a slight level of Qi Refining is enough.
The sixth-order Shapo Worm King's shell was close to the level of fusion, and it actually ate four rockets from Zhu Changyang.
Hou Shiyun's sword was naturally no problem.
On the ring, Jie Li was wearing armor and holding a Gatling heavy machine gun, his whole body exuding an industrial luster.
Opposite him, Hou Shiyun was wearing a wide robe with wide sleeves, a long sword dangling in front of him, clouds and mist swirling around him, and spiritual power emanating from him.
The two formed a sharp and different contrast.
Not to mention the uproar in the audience, even the leaders of various factions were a little confused and looked at Zhu Changyang one after another.
"Masters, what kind of magical weapon is this?"
"It looks like armor to me, right?"
"Armor isn't so flexible and can be assembled like this..."
"Almost the same." Zhu Changyang smiled modestly, "You can think of it as industrial armor."
Elder Hou's face was so gloomy that water seemed to drip from it. He gritted his teeth and said, "Masters, what do you mean by doing this?"
"Isn't it possible to have a discussion?" Zhu Changyang blinked. "Jie Li was once the apprentice of Elder Hou and practiced with Young Master Hou. Isn't Elder Hou curious about how well he has learned now?"
The developer came back at some point, his eyes wide and innocent: “Meow meow meow.”
Elder Hou choked.
In the world of cultivation, it was common for cultivators to learn from each other, and it was not surprising. However, there was a lot of friction between the two factions, and there was no such friendship at all.
What's more, such an occasion was chosen specifically.
Although Elder Hou knew that the Industrial Sect had ill intentions, he could do nothing about it.
Jie Li was only at the Qi Refining stage, so when fighting against Hou Shiyun, who was at the Nascent Soul stage, it seemed like he was at a disadvantage no matter how you looked at him.
Zhu Changyang also specifically emphasized the "master-disciple relationship" a few years ago, which aroused curious inquiries from others.
"Ah, so the two factions have such a connection?"
Several sects that were on good terms with the Industrial Sect all knew about Jie Li's experience, but they were also somewhat surprised as to why Zhu Changyang suddenly brought it up.
After all, this is a cleavage scar, so normally I wouldn't want to say more about it.
Moreover, the starting posture of the cleavage is not like a normal sparring.
Elder Hou could only stop talking and snorted coldly, "If Shi Yun accidentally hurts Li Li later, please don't blame me, sect leaders."
"It doesn't matter." Jun Shu glanced at him calmly, "I will take action."
Elder Hou:!
How can he be so confident? !
As they were talking, gunshots rang out again in the ring.
After Jie Li blocked the sword, he immediately raised the Gatling gun and attacked Hou Shiyun again.
Hou Shiyun's breath was stuck in his chest, and he almost vomited blood. While using the gasification shield to block the rain of bullets, he urged the sword again.
This time he was not careless and infused a large amount of his cultivation into the sword. The sword energy was as if it had substance and rushed towards the cleavage sharply.
Jie Li dodged with a side step, but his speed was ultimately not as fast as the surging sword energy.
“Bang, bang, bang—”
The sword energy slashed on the armor, causing a series of explosions.
The damage of this combo was quite great. The audience was so nervous that they almost forgot to breathe and stared at the black armored warrior.
All he could see was that Ji Li was knocked back a few steps by the sword energy, letting out a muffled groan and almost losing his balance.
He also reacted extremely quickly, using his weak cultivation to quickly manipulate the sensing device on the armor plate, barely stabilizing his body. He then adjusted the muzzle of the gun and pointed it at Hou Shiyun again.
Looking at the surface of his armor, there were only a few shallow scratches left.
audience:
"No way, you can handle this?!"
"This armor is too strong. This little brother should just stand still."
Studio:
[Hahaha, it’s really Pinduoduo, it’s slashing like a tiger, I saw it slashed by 0.5]
[I would like to call it the Shield of Pinduoduo! ]
Hou Shiyun had never expected that a dozen sword energies could not defeat a useless person in the Qi Refining Stage. He was furious and said, "You do have some skills!"
A bead as big as a little finger flew out of the mustard seed bag. This was Yong Zhoutian's magic weapon, the Huanwu Mingzhu, which was often used by Yong Zhoutian's disciples. Hou Shiyun had used one when fighting Yu Ni just now, so it was not uncommon.
The strange thing is that his current opponent is Jie Li.
In a sense, it is unbelievable that so many magical instruments are needed for the Nascent Soul stage to fight against the Qi Refining stage.
The Huanwu Pearl was embedded in the hilt of the long sword, emitting a bright pearly light.
Hou Shiyun pinched his fingers together, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Junior brother, can you still block this sword?"
He could see that Jie Li's armor was purely defensive equipment, and the material was indeed top-notch. With his current skills and weapons, he might not be able to break it.
But this doesn't mean that he has no way to solve the problem.
Jie Li's biggest problem was that his cultivation was too low and he was unable to dodge his attacks.
Jie Li did not answer. With the armor on his face, no one knew what his expression was. However, there was no fear in his movements. He just continued to pull the trigger of the Gatling gun.
But there was a "click" sound, and the Gatling gun did not spray sparks again, and the ammunition chain had run out.
At the same time, the giant sword burst out with terrifying sword intent and slashed towards him with unstoppable force.
The audience couldn't help but gasp.
"Isn't Hou Shiyun's attack too harsh?"
"That's right, I'm afraid this little brother is going to get into trouble..."
There were many cultivators of high levels among the audience, and they all saw Li Li’s biggest weakness just like Hou Shiyun.
He couldn't dodge the attack.
Hou Shiyun's sword might not be able to break through the armor, but the huge sword would inevitably cause a huge impact. Even if there was a layer of armor between them, the shock would still be enough to cause serious injuries to people.
The most unfortunate thing was that Jie Li's strange "weapon" had just been used up, and he had no means to interfere with Hou Shiyun's spellcasting.
Studio:
[Ahh, Duoduo, get out of the way! ]
[QAQ If Pinduoduo can’t cut the buff, it must take effect! ]
Hou Shiyun had just fought with Yu Ni, and his cultivation had not yet fully recovered. The giant sword was huge in size, and its flying speed was much slower than before.
But for a useless person who can neither fly nor shrink the ground, it is enough.
In the blink of an eye, the giant sword and the cleavage were less than three feet apart and were about to collide.
Everyone's heart was in their throat.
"Xuan Yang, don't stop me!" Li Ying screamed, "I can't stand it anymore!"
Xuan Yang was also very anxious: "Okay, I won't stop you."
"Good brother!" Li Ying concentrated and made hand gestures, and a demonic energy was about to be released.
At the critical moment, a "boom" sound similar to that of a bellows was heard from the stage, and two strong streams of air with flames suddenly spurted out from under the armor on Li Li's feet, blowing him into the air.
Barely dodged the heavy blow from the giant sword.
Li Ying paused:
The audience around burst into laughter.
"He he he, he's flying!"
"What kind of magical weapon is that armor? How can it fly?!"
Studio:
[WTF! There is also this design!!!]
[Flesh and blood are weak, and the machine rises (rocket propulsion version)]
The armor on the cleavage foot is a device similar to a rocket thruster.
In the world of cultivation, there is a space magic called mustard seed bag. By refining it into the armor plates of the feet, a large amount of fuel can be stored in a very small design.
The fuel used is the non-extinguishing gas brought back from the forbidden area of no life.
A micro-engine device is also integrated into the thruster. Jie Li can use his skills to control the device and adjust the size of the jet thrust, thereby controlling the speed.
After all, the cleavage practice time was not long, and the control was not yet sensitive.
Fortunately, I often use other people's swords and am used to working at heights, so basic balance and movement are not a problem for me.
Even so, it was shocking enough for the audience.
Not only the audience, but Hou Shiyun was even more incredulous. For a moment, he even forgot to continue controlling the sword. He just instinctively raised his head and watched Jie Li flying higher and higher.
Finally, the cleavage slowed down and stopped in the air about ten feet high.
A height of ten feet is nothing to any cultivator above the Jindan stage.
But for mortals with low cultivation, it should be an insurmountable mountain.
"How is this possible? How is this possible!" Hou Shiyun muttered to himself.
How can a person who doesn't even have spiritual roots break through the boundary between humans and immortals and do what only immortal masters can do!
If Jie Li could do the same thing as him, then why did he work so hard to steal that spiritual root and endure the pain of backlash all these years
Hou Shiyun neither understood nor accepted it. He felt as if there was a carbuncle in his heart. He couldn't cough out or swallow the resentment in his heart. There was even a faint blood color in his eyes, and he gave rise to a trace of demonic aura.
The audience is not that sensitive, so it’s not a big deal.
The leaders of various sects beside the arena were startled and looked at Elder Hou almost subconsciously.
Taoist Huanzhen said: "Elder, your son's heart seems to be unstable..."
Elder Hou's face turned pale, but the fight on the stage had not yet ended. He could not intervene now, otherwise it would be tantamount to acknowledging that Hou Shiyun had lost.
If Hou Shiyun loses to Jie Li, it will not only be a joke for him and his son, but also a joke for the entire Yong Zhoutian.
Elder Hou collected his thoughts and pretended to be calm, saying, "The path to seeking the truth is to constantly break through the mental barriers. This is his chance, and he can only figure it out on his own. Just wait and see."
Others disagreed and frowned.
Taoist Huanzhen wanted to say more, but was immediately interrupted by the noise on the stage.
"Impossible!" Hou Shiyun shouted loudly, and gathered the remaining power into two fingers, pointing them upwards.
The magic pearl shone brightly, the spiritual spike of good magic flew, and the tip of the giant sword turned around, like a giant ship, carrying the surging sword intent, and rushed towards the black-armored warrior in the air.
The black-armored warrior immediately adjusted the jets under his feet and continued to rise higher to avoid the frontal impact of the sword intent. At the same time, he put away the Gatling gun, reached into the mustard bag with both hands, took out a new tubular weapon and carried it on his shoulder.
It was the rocket launcher that had faced the sixth-order insect king head-on.
"'Senior Brother', you see, I can fight you too."
Jie Li was suspended high in the air, looking down at him solemnly, just as Hou Shiyun had once looked down at him.
Studio:
[Ah, Duoduo is so handsome, fuck him! ]
[Let that monkey see the true power of us mortals! ]
[Form determines function, join the glorious evolution!]
The author has something to say:
Duoduogo: The memorial service for the dead has officially begun!
Insect King: You are wearing my shell and carrying the magic weapon you used to hit me. You Industrialists know how to make the best use of things. QAQ,
[Form determines function, join the glorious evolution! ] This is a line from the game.
I forgot to mention yesterday that the Sun and Moon Pot is inspired by the line “When I’m drunk, the universe is vast; when I’m drunk, the sun and moon are long in the pot.”
