Desperate Battlefield

Inside the Training Hall.

Di Zheng stood at the window, looking at the soft moonlight projected onto the holographic panel of the Undercity.

"You don't need to concern yourself with Jiufeng's affairs."

"I had already informed the Security Department before coming."

"The Security Department's Investigation Division will likely keep a close eye on them for the foreseeable future."

"They won't have the time to target you."

The Legion Commander paused, then continued.

Yu Bai's side...

"I will have someone protect you secretly."

"But on the surface, you can only rely on yourself."

Luo Yan raised his head, looked at the Legion Commander, and said thoughtfully, "You want to find out who Bai Tao's backer is?"

Di Zheng smiled but did not give a direct response.

He stood up.

He patted Luo Yan on the shoulder and said, "Focus your attention on Monday's trial."

"That's the most important thing."

"Once you get your ' Special Pilot License,' I'll assign you some tasks to help you get used to life as Mech Master as quickly as possible."

"I look forward to the day when I can enter the ' Desperate Battlefield ' with you."

"I hope that day will come soon."

Luo Yan's heart stirred.

Desperate Battlefield?

Besides the Forbidden Land, are there other Battlefield?

Luo Yan did not press further.

He believed it was time for him to know.

Di Zheng said.

That same evening.

In a dimly lit room.

Bai Tao is over forty years old, sat at a table.

There were lunch boxes on the table.

It was filled with food that had just been brought from the restaurant.

Bai Tao ate until he was covered in sweat.

Suddenly, the phone next to me rang.

He wiped his mouth with a tissue.

Answer the phone.

"Big Brother," Bai Tao called out.

A voice on the phone hummed in agreement, then asked, "How did things go?"

Bai Tao snorted and said, "That little brat didn't utter a single word from beginning to end."

"I'll give him 100,000 work points to listen to my phone call."

"He really just listened."

"Big brother, how about we get Jiufeng to take care of him, so he can't do his trial on Monday?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

He then said, "Atao, you've been with me for almost twenty years."

"You're not young anymore, you're already forty, and you still act so impulsively."

Bai Tao shrugged.

The person on the phone continued, "Do you want him to lose the trial for that little bit of money?"

"My purpose..."

"Never mind."

You wouldn't understand even if I told you.

"Here's what we'll do: find someone to make things difficult for him, don't let him have it too easy."

"That makes sense too."

"If you do nothing, it will only arouse Di Zheng's suspicion."

A fierce glint flashed in Bai Tao's eyes. "Brother, isn't it too easy on that kid to just torment him?"

The person on the phone sneered, "Idiot."

Do you believe it or not?

"Di Zheng may have already sent people to protect him."

"The few men you have are only capable of doing low-level tricks."

"If you really want to take him down, you'll have to use people from my side."

"If that really happens."

"Di Zheng will be able to follow the clues and figure out our relationship."

Bai Tao's forehead immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"Never underestimate Di Zheng."

The man on the phone said, "If he were so easy to take down, Luo Tianyi wouldn't have such a headache."

"Do as I say, and remember, don't do anything unnecessary."

Bai Tao readily agreed.

The next day is Sunday.

Luo Yan was the same as always.

Intensify your training.

He has already begun the Bone Tempering on his other arm.

Ten sections have been completed so far.

A total of 40 pieces of Bone Tempering.

This speed isn't slow.

But all 206 bones need to be tempered.

It will take some more time.

Besides cultivation.

Luo Yan also took out a video and watched it over and over again.

This is the battle record of the giant beast he will challenge tomorrow.

Code name: Jue (pronounced like "chun")

Rank: Intermediate Level 2.

Type: Caterpillar.

Features: Intimidating presence, Air Stagnation, Wood Control, and Swift Movement!

This behemoth's overall shape resembles a deer magnified countless times.

It has four long horns like those of an antelope.

in addition.

It has forelimbs that resemble human arms.

The hind legs are those of a horse.

This allows it to run quickly using both its hands and feet.

They can also stand upright and attack with their hands.

Flowering vines were still entwined on the beast's fur and horns.

It can manipulate these vines and even the plants in the surrounding environment.

This stems from its ability to ' Wood Control '.

In addition, it can release 'pressure' that can directly cause Mech Master with weak willpower to lose their fighting spirit, or even their consciousness.

It can also Air Stagnation in the air briefly, changing its trajectory mid-air, making it impossible to defend against.

at last.

It is very fast, almost as fast as the Taotie.

After all, both possess the characteristic of ' Swift Movement '.

These are giant beasts used for training by the Surface Exploration Corps, kept in the mech training grounds behind the Great Lake.

It seems to be due to being kept in captivity.

In the practice video provided by Wei Fenghua.

The giant beast didn't seem to have a strong desire to attack.

From this perspective...

This contrasts with the wild behemoths that Luo Yan had encountered.

This ' Jue Ru ' always seemed reluctant to fight.

Monday arrived in the blink of an eye.

Morning.

The Academy sent a vehicle to take Luo Yan to the surface.

The school bus is driving on the highway.

Luo Yan saw that the large and small screens on the buildings in the city were already displaying information about today's trial.

Especially the battle footage of the behemoth ' Jue Ru '.

It even plays repeatedly on the screen.

Luo Yan frowned.

I don't quite understand.

It was just a trial.

Why the extensive publicity?

He sat next to Luo Yan.

Wei Fenghua coughed twice and said with a smile, "You've only just arrived in the Undercity, so you wouldn't understand."

"Although the Undercity has holographic panels that calculate in real time and project images simulating the landscape of the ground 24 hours a day."

"But it's still underground."

"Located 300 meters underground."

"Living in a place where there is no sunlight for a long time can lead to the loss of trace elements in the body, even if medication can be used to supplement these elements."

"But here..."

Wei Fenghua gently patted his chest. "This cannot be regulated with medication."

"People who live in the Undercity for a long time will feel depressed."

"Emotions cannot be released."

"Over time..."

"This will have an adverse impact on the Undercity's production and other aspects."

"So every now and then."

"The Undercity will organize similar events."

"Used to adjust the atmosphere in the city."

"People cannot go to the surface of the earth."

"But seeing you fight on the surface, they will empathize with you."

"I would put myself in your shoes, I would cheer for you, and I would feel sad for you."

"This produces a subtle chemical reaction that helps stabilize their mental state."

Luo Yan remained silent.

He really didn't know.

It turns out they'd been underground for too long.

There will be so many problems.

Just then...

The roar of an engine could be heard outside.

Luo Yan looked out.

I saw several obviously modified SUV.

They came roaring up from behind.

We arrived in the vicinity.

At this moment.

SUV was a man who had dyed his hair in all sorts of colors.

He stuck out his tongue with the pierced tongue, raised his middle finger with a skull tattoo, and then threw a smoke bottle at Luo Yan!
