Star Brilliance Middle School, located in the core area of Lower City, is the top affiliated middle school directly under Star Mech University.
Elite students from all over Lower City are gathered here. Every applicant has been strictly screened and has a mental ability level of at least C-Class. It can be called the cradle of geniuses.
Although the tuition fee is not low.
But the treatment is not comparable to that of other colleges.
Not to mention various welfare subsidies.
Each student has his or her own private dormitory.
A thirty square meter apartment.
Water, electricity, Internet, everything is available, and there are dedicated cleaning staff to clean it every day.
now.
in one of the rooms.
Zhao Yao sits cross-legged.
His hands were folded on his abdomen and his eyes were closed.
The mouth and nose breathe at a specific frequency.
As time goes by.
Gradually, his consciousness seemed to be pulled into the endless depths of the universe.
In front of him, there was a huge star.
It was the same sun projection he had seen in school classes.
However, compared to projection.
This time the sun gave him a more intense and real shock.
The huge sun almost occupied his entire field of vision. Its blazing light was like countless sharp swords, piercing the dark void and dyeing the surrounding space a golden red.
The surface of the sun is not calm, but filled with violent energy.
The hot plasma is like boiling magma, constantly rolling and gushing out, forming huge tongues of fire that seem to devour everything.
At the edge of the sun, the corona is shrouded like a layer of gauze, emitting an intertwined light of blue and silver.
The light is not dazzling, but has a special sense of beauty, like the most exquisite work of art in the universe.
However, this corona is not static.
Instead, it flows in a slow manner, forming huge arcs, like giant dragons circling on the surface of the sun.
Suddenly, Zhao Yao noticed something strange in the corona.
A huge amount of energy bursts out from the surface of the sun, forming a dazzling Siphon phenomenon.
That Siphon is like a huge beam of light, shooting straight into the sky from the surface of the sun, as if it wants to suck the energy of the entire universe into it.
In the light pillar, countless small light spots shine like stars, rotating and flying with the flow of energy, forming a magnificent picture.
At the top of Siphon, energy gradually condensed, forming a huge vortex.
In the vortex, the energy flowed faster and faster, and finally a dazzling light burst out, illuminating the entire universe for a moment.
Zhao Yao felt that his consciousness seemed to be attracted by this energy, and he could not help but imitate the swallowing frequency and fluctuations.
outside world.
suddenly.
In the originally bright room, the light suddenly dimmed.
Look carefully.
You will find that the surrounding light seems to be distorted.
All gathered into the body of Zhao Yao.
It seemed that with him as the center of the circle, a twisted force field with a radius of one meter was formed.
Because light is absorbed and distorted.
At this moment, a layer of gleaming white light suddenly lit up on his body surface.
It seems extremely magical.
"Huh?"
The moment this situation occurs.
Xi Guang, who established a neural link with Zhao Yao, noticed it immediately.
"This kid is so fast?"
See this scene.
Xi Guang was a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, the tenth host's understanding was so amazing, and he successfully mastered the will training method [Siphon] so quickly.
You know, among her nine former hosts, the fastest one took more than three months to barely get started.
But the kid in front of him successfully awakened in just half a month.
It seemed that this boy's Light Descendant bloodline talent was far more powerful than she expected.
A long while.
Zhao Yao slowly opened his eyes.
In an instant, the pulling and twisting force field disappeared without a trace, and the originally dim light around him returned to its original brightness.
"How does it feel?"
Xi Guang's voice sounded in Zhao Yao's mind.
"It feels good, no, I have never felt so good! It's like a layer of shackles has been taken off my body! My whole body feels much more relaxed. I feel like I can jump up to the roof!"
Zhao Yao took a deep breath and carefully felt the changes in his body.
At this moment, he could clearly feel that his five senses and strength had been significantly improved.
He stretched out his hand, grasped it slightly, and a ray of white light condensed out.
It is the light absorbed during the practice of [Siphon].
At this moment, he can solidify it, release it, and even cause certain lethal effects.
"Okay, you have just completed the Light Descendant bloodline awakening, don't use this power easily!"
Xi Guang's voice suddenly interrupted his movements.
Zhao Yao heard this and quickly withdrew that ray of light.
However, the moment the light dissipated, his face paled slightly, and he felt a sense of weakness in his body.
"Until you grow up, try to use your power as Light Descendant as little as possible."
Xi Guang, who was originally lazy, became a little more serious this time and warned.
"Those Eternal Night Council guys are probably searching for me.
Once they find you, with your current strength, you will definitely die. "
"I know!"
Zhao Yao nodded.
After getting along with each other for this period of time, he already had a general understanding of his situation.
According to what the other person said.
The strongest person in this world is Holy Cross Church.
Holy Cross Church was formed by Light Descendant bloodline awakeners.
And her last host was also one of them.
The ultimate goal is to ignite the sun.
As for Eternal Night Council.
It's just the opposite.
It is to turn the world into eternal darkness.
And want to do it all.
It is necessary to destroy Holy Cross Church and destroy Forbidden Mecha.
As for why you don't contact Holy Cross Church directly now.
Wouldn't that be safer?
According to what Xi Guang said, it was previously besieged by people from Eternal Night Council, and it was suspected that someone among Holy Cross Church had betrayed his information.
therefore.
All he has to do now is keep growing.
You cannot reveal that you have the Xi Zhi Chi Huang mecha before you grow up.
in addition.
Xi Guang, Mecha Spirit as Forbidden Mecha "Xi Zhi Chi Huang".
Even if there is only one core left, it will be of great help to him.
Zhao Yao feels like a strict but knowledgeable teacher.
Although she often answered questions with a sarcastic tone.
But it is undeniable that Zhao Yao did learn a lot of valuable knowledge from her.
Thanks to neural connections, he can even enter a highly realistic virtual scene to practice what he has learned.
This immersive learning method is not limited to mecha maintenance, but also includes driving skills, tactical battles, and various other complex knowledge areas.
Therefore, he gradually no longer rejects the existence of Xi Guang, but she uses electric current to 'remind' him of his bad habits from time to time. It would be better if he could change it.
"This guy..."
In the darkness, Xi Guang recalled Zhao Yao's performance just now.
He had just awakened the Light Descendant bloodline, and he was able to reach this point.
The talent of this tenth Mecha Master host was far more terrifying than she had expected.
However, she was naturally happy to see the outcome of this situation.
After all, no mecha would dislike its Mecha Master being too strong.
Perhaps, he really has the ability to unleash the full power of "Xi Zhi Chi Huang".
Although Forbidden Mecha is powerful, how much strength it can exert is closely related to Mecha Master's own ability.
For example, her last host was the weakest among the nine, failing to exert even 30% of its power.
"With my current strength, I should be able to defeat Zhao Ying, right?"
At this time, Zhao Yao thought of something, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.
Xi Guang fell silent upon seeing this.
She retracted her previous thoughts.
Although this guy had good qualifications, his behavior at certain times always made her feel that he was lacking in brains.
"After the Light Descendant bloodline is awakened, your physical strength will be greatly enhanced. Even if your sister is made of iron, she cannot be your opponent."
"Restrain your strength and don't accidentally beat your sister to death. Don't blame me for not warning you then."
When Zhao Yao heard this, he automatically ignored the slightly teasing words behind Xi Guang.
"Don't worry, I'm measured."
He responded calmly.
At this time, the holographic watch placed aside suddenly made several crisp beeps.
Zhao Yao glanced down, with a strange look on his face.
"Just in time, it's time to go back and take a look."
He whispered to himself.
Since being taught a lesson by Zhao Ying last time, Zhao Yao has had some psychological shadow on her.
In addition to practicing Siphon and learning all kinds of knowledge about mechas, I haven't been home for half a month.
I just briefly learned about the situation at home through the contact device.
According to my parents, the family has undergone some changes recently. Not only did they make some money, they also moved to a new home.
During this time, his living expenses will be increased.
Lower City C District is one of the three richest areas in Lower City.
The streets here are much wider than in other areas, and the floors are paved with smooth synthetic materials that reflect the light and shadow of holographic advertisements and neon lights overhead.
The outer walls of the towering skyscrapers are covered with flowing LED screens, which play the latest luxury advertisements and performances of virtual idols. The pictures are so clear that they seem to be within reach.
A light fragrance filled the air, covering up the mixed smell of the civilian area.
On both sides of the street are rows of high-end shops and restaurants, with various prosthetic accessories and limited-edition virtual reality equipment displayed in the windows.
Zhao Yao stood by the street, looking up at the apartment in front of him.
This apartment is about forty stories high, has a circular design and covers an extremely large area.
The exterior walls are covered with flowing LED screens, which cast light and shadow on the surrounding streets, as if the building is covered with a flowing neon coat.
Its appearance is full of futuristic feeling, and the overall shape is streamlined, like metal vines growing from the ground, stacked layer by layer, and gradually gathered to the top.
The balconies on each floor are inlaid with transparent glass guardrails, and the edges of the guardrails are dotted with faint lights. From a distance, the entire building seems to be surrounded by stars.
The top floors are designed as duplex structures, with private sky gardens hanging on the exterior walls. Green plants hang down from high places, intertwining with neon lights and shadows, forming a strange contrast.
The apartment's entrance is marked by a wide glass arch with a biometric system embedded in the door, allowing only authorized residents to enter.
There were two burly mechanical security guards standing on both sides of the door, wearing black uniforms. Crimson's mechanical eyes flashed, holding firearms and looking at the passers-by expressionlessly.
Beside it, an autonomous cleaning robot slid silently across the floor, sucking in the occasional falling paper scraps and dust into its body.
Zhao Yao's eyes fell on the four words in front of the apartment door - Sky Nest Garden.
He had seen this apartment on the Internet. The people who could live here were either rich or expensive, and the monthly rent was tens of thousands.
This amount of money is enough for his family's normal expenses for several years.
He didn't understand how his family could afford such an expense.
Just as he was deep in thought, two familiar figures walked out of the apartment.
Zhao Yao was stunned for a moment, and then quickly stepped forward to greet him.
"Mom and Dad!"
he shouted.
The visitors were his parents.
It's different from the overworked look in my memory.
After only half a month of seeing each other, their faces were much rosier, and they were wearing the latest nanofiber clothing on the market, looking full of energy.
Zhao Yao couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.
"What the hell is going on?"
Father Zhao Tian sighed with a complicated expression.
"This is all thanks to your sister..."
When Zhao Yao saw Zhao Ying again, he was directly shocked by her changes.
The Zhao Ying in front of him is completely different from the past.
Her height increased to 1.9 meters, and her figure became extremely oppressive.
The long hair that originally hung down to her waist has been cut into ear-length hair, making her look smart and neat.
However, it was the change in her skin that was most noticeable.
The exposed skin is covered with lines like python scales, like mysterious tattoos, which are both weird and full of power.
These lines are not decoration, but a unique shape caused by the excessive density of muscle fibers.
If you observe carefully, you will find that her pores have almost disappeared, and the entire skin membrane is so smooth that it is almost transparent, as if a thin but tough membrane wraps her body.
At this moment, Zhao Ying is sitting at the table, feasting, and the table is filled with food.
When she heard the door open, she turned her head and looked over.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Zhao Yao saw a flash of green phosphorescence in her eyes, which was only found in cats, making people afraid to look directly.
If Zhao Ying used to be a girl with a weak body and delicate face, then now she looks like a humanoid Fierce Beast.
Just sitting there gives people an indescribable sense of oppression.
"Boy, something is very wrong with your sister."
Xi Guang's voice sounded in Zhao Yao's mind.
"Sister Xi, I'm not blind, I can see it without you having to tell me."
Zhao Yao complained silently in his heart.
at the same time.
The moment I saw Zhao Yao.
Hu Qi, which was originally Bronze Cross Medal, suddenly opened its eyes.
Half a month has passed.
He can penetrate more power outwards and perceive nature more clearly.
At this moment, in his perception.
On the body of Zhao Yao not far away.
Hu Qi found that the other party was absorbing the special energy from all around into his body.
And there is something emitting strong energy fluctuations in the other person's mind.
Although it is hidden very deep.
But with Hu Qi's enhanced perception now, it's simply difficult to hide.
outside world.
Zhao Ying glanced at Zhao Yao and was about to lower his head and continue eating.
During this time, the system issued a week-long mission, requiring her to fight in an underground boxing match.
During this period, for some reasons, she had a conflict with the organizer of the underground boxing match.
As a result, she not only killed all the people sent by the opponent, but also killed all the way to the opponent's lair.
After finishing the other party's pot.
The mission ended early.
At the same time, I also got a lot of money from it, and this is how I live today.
At the moment, she is having a meal.
As her body grew stronger, so did her need for food.
Usually, she carries high-energy nutrition bars with her.
Fortunately, she is not short of money now, otherwise she might starve to death.
At this moment, her movements suddenly stopped.
"Ding! A high-energy reaction has been detected.
Release task: Brother's Secret.
Mission requirement: Obtain an unknown secret of your brother.
Please start the task within an hour. "
The voice of the system suddenly sounded in her mind.
Zhao Ying After a meal, he opened his mouth, and between the opening and closing of his saw-like teeth, he chewed up a thigh-thick pig leg bone together with the meat and swallowed it into his belly in a few mouthfuls.
Then, he took out the tissue on the side and wiped the corners of his mouth.
She stood up, casting a shadow on the ground.
"Mom and Dad, you go out first, Zhao Yao you stay, I have something to ask you!"
she said.
Hearing this, father Zhao Tian opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but heard Zhao Ying continue.
"Don't worry, I just want to talk to my brother about something, and I won't do anything to him!"
Seeing this, his father Zhao Tian didn't know what to say, so he took his mother Xu Yun's hand and walked out.
Today's life relies entirely on Zhao Ying. Although he doesn't want to admit it, he feels more and more unfamiliar with Zhao Ying, and even a little scared.
Wait until the two of them go out.
She walked straight to Zhao Yao.
He looked his brother up and down.
"What's the matter with you?"
Zhao Yao looked at Zhao Ying who was a head taller than him, and then thought about the scene when he saw him eating just now, it was like a Fierce Beast was devouring food.
His expression was somewhat unnatural.
"Zhao Yao, tell me the secret hidden in you!"
Zhao Ying said, his gaze as sharp as a blade.
The tasks released by the system this time are indeed a bit strange.
However, she didn't intend to delve into it.
For her, all the One and Only has to do is complete the task of system release.
Although it only lasted half a month, she had already ended nearly a hundred lives with her own hands.
The previous mentality is no longer there, replaced by the desire and control for power.
After experiencing the supreme pleasure brought by power, she no longer resisted the system's tasks at all, but was vaguely looking forward to it.
She longs to become more powerful, and this mission is not complicated.
Just ask Zhao Yao to hand over his secret.
"What secret? I don't know what you're talking about."
Zhao Yao looked as usual and spoke calmly.
However, something stirred up in his heart.
He quietly shifted the topic to Zhao Ying.
"It's you, how did you become like this?"
While talking.
Zhao Yao called secretly in his heart.
"Sister Xi, do you think she discovered something? Sister Xi?"
However, Xi Guang, who could usually respond at any time, seemed to have disappeared at this moment without making any sound.
"It seems you don't want to tell me!"
Zhao Ying's eyes suddenly turned cold, as if frost had condensed.
Her voice was low, and there was a suffocating sense of oppression in the air.
Zhao Yao's back tensed instantly, and the hair on his head stood on end.
The Zhao Ying in front of him seemed to turn into a ferocious Fierce Beast several meters high in an instant, with its fangs exposed.
The invisible pressure made him almost breathless.
Without any time to think about it, Zhao Yao raised his hand almost reflexively.
A condensed white beam suddenly shot out from his palm, cutting through the air like lightning.
However, the moment the beam shot out, Zhao Yao regretted it.
He had personally tested the power of the beam, which was strong enough to penetrate a steel plate several centimeters thick, and was as powerful as a bullet from a large-caliber sniper rifle.
The distance between the two was less than one meter. At such a close distance, the beam of light approached Zhao Ying almost the moment it was shot, leaving no possibility of evasion.
However, Zhao Ying seemed to be predicting the future and raised his hand to block the door in front of him.
The beam hit her palm, making a slight "chi" sound.
The beam only left a faint black mark on her palm, without even breaking the skin.
Zhao Yao was stunned.
"Crack!"
The next moment, Zhao Yao felt a sharp pain on the right side of his face, as if he had been hit hard by a hammer.
His body instantly lost balance, his feet left the ground, and his whole body was thrown away by a huge force, falling heavily to the ground.
His head was buzzing, his vision was blurry, and he even tasted a hint of fishy sweetness in his mouth.
Before he could struggle to get up, a foot stepped hard on his chest.
The huge force pressed against his ribs, as if it was going to crush his entire chest.
Zhao Yao groaned in pain, and breathing became extremely difficult.
"Zhao Yao, my good brother, you are so cruel!"
Zhao Ying's voice was cold.
Her eyes were stained with a blood-red color, and the violence and murderous intent in her eyes almost overflowed.
There was a hint of sarcasm in her voice, but more of it was uncontrollable anger.
Although she wanted to complete the mission, she never thought about killing Zhao Yao.
However, her brother did not hesitate to kill her!
If she hadn't had the power given by the system, she would have turned into a cold corpse at this moment.
"Tell me, what is the secret you are hiding?"
Zhao Ying continued to ask, the force under his feet gradually increasing.
Zhao Yao felt as if his chest was about to be crushed, breathing became increasingly difficult, and the world in front of him began to become blurry.
"Boy, don't resist! Leave the rest to me!"
At this moment, Xi Guang's voice suddenly sounded in Zhao Yao's mind, with a hint of urgency.
Zhao Yao felt relieved, as if he had grasped the last life-saving straw.
The next moment.
An invisible wave suddenly spread from Zhao Yao's body, sweeping around like ripples.
Zhao Ying was caught off guard and was shaken back by this force, and the strength under his feet also loosened.
Zhao Yao took the opportunity to stand up quickly.
The next second.
A strong wind came.
Zhao Yao turned around suddenly.
Punch to the back.
He directly collided with Zhao Ying's punch.
boom!
A terrifying air pressure exploded.
The floor, surrounding walls, and glass all shattered.
Bang!
Zhao Ying The figure flew out upside down, crashed through one wall, and flew out.
Zhao Yao stood there, golden lines appearing on his cheeks.
His eyes became cold and unfamiliar. He glanced coldly at the hole Zhao Ying had opened, and then rushed to the floor-to-ceiling window on the side without hesitation, trying to escape by jumping out of the window.
Xi Guang controlled Zhao Yao's body, but his heart was full of vigilance.
She clearly noticed that Zhao Ying's physical strength was far beyond that of ordinary people, almost comparable to a humanoid mecha.
What made her even more uneasy was that just now, she sensed an extremely terrifying aura on Zhao Ying. This was the reason why she did not dare to respond to Zhao Yao.
But I can't care about that now.
Once the host Zhao Yao dies, she will not be much better with only her core left.
However, just two or three meters away from the floor-to-ceiling window, everything around him suddenly came to a standstill.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the air became heavy and sticky.
Immediately afterwards, a blurry shadow of a young man in white appeared out of thin air in front of Zhao Yao.
His figure was looming, as if made up of countless light points, exuding an indescribable majesty and mystery.
"You... you..."
Xi Guang's voice was intermittent, as if it had been subject to some serious interference.
Her consciousness began to become blurred, large white spots of snowflakes appeared in front of her eyes, and she could no longer control Zhao Yao's body.
The shadow of the young man in white stood there quietly, his presence seemed to make the entire space unbearable.
After appearing, he didn't say much, stretched out his hand and inserted it directly into Zhao Yao's head.
