Human 18 Civilization vs. the Dwarves

Faced with the challenge, Lu Yuan's expression did not change. He said solemnly, "Since an old senior from the Previous Era has spoken, it would be disrespectful to refuse."

"First wagered match: cold weapon combat. Lu Jun, step forward!!"

"Yes!" A black Powered Armor gleaming with metallic luster strode forward with a series of clanks.

Over three hundred years of development, experts among the new generation of Human 18 Civilization had sprung up like bamboo shoots after rain.

Some exceptionally gifted individuals had finally caught up to the older generation in combat power.

The new generation had more well-rounded ability combinations, better suited to the Powered Armor of the new era.

Through the military's long-term internal sparring, this Level 7 expert named Lu Jun had achieved the best record. Even old established powerhouses such as Jin Dongliang and Guo Dafeng were no match for him.

Lu Jun possessed an innate God's Skill, Shadow Curse, a rare curse-type ability.

Humans were not as inclined toward craftsmanship as the Dwarf Clan, nor were they as inclined toward artistic engraving as the Green Field People. But humans excelled in versatility; any God's Skill might emerge in one or two of them.

Sometimes, having no weaknesses was a good thing.

Besides that, Lu Jun possessed Extraordinary Tinder, Bullet Time, Mental Barrier, Dynamic Vision, Copper Skin Iron Bones, Twin Nimble Hands, Blood Clotting Regeneration Constitution, and seven other Qi Skills and Form Skills. He had already reached the Soul Satiation State.

In other words, the new generation was nothing like the old generation of the Mandala Empire, who still had to learn offensive abilities such as "great strength" and "Mental Roar"...

Scientific research had proven that most of those abilities had been phased out before powerful Powered Exoskeletons and modern weapons.

Everyone learned support abilities
