Quake-Word Technique

After the rankings were announced, everyone found their seats in the virtual reality simulation and began learning mech techniques.

Chen Qiong Zhi had allocated a total of two hours for learning.

The actual combat would only begin after that.

At this moment.

Li Yi put on a black helmet weighing over ten pounds and lay down at an angle.

Cai Xiaodong also took a seat beside him, muttering softly, "I think I learned mech techniques pretty well before. I wonder what the AI will analyze for me."

Clearly, Cai Xiaodong was also from the Righteous Clan, having learned mech techniques since childhood.

Too lazy to bother with his bragging, Li Yi directly entered the virtual reality simulation.

Upon a desert wasteland.

Li Yi's body flickered like static on an old television and then appeared out of thin air.

Immediately after, layers of pure black fluid enveloped his body and began to expand proportionally.

It continuously grew taller, reaching a height of 43 meters before stopping its expansion.

"Interesting, it can even simulate the Pluto Mech?"

Ahead of him stood a giant mech, its outer armor entwined with black and white fluid.

Its height was also exactly 43 meters.

A data panel for AI analysis popped up in front of Li Yi.

[Li Yi Combat Power Index Detailed Analysis]

[Maximum Gravity Tolerance: 7.4, Exceeds Historical Limit for Non-Evolved Individuals]
[Average Gravity Tolerance: 7.1]
[Unarmed Combat Skill Index: 9.7, Highest Score Currently on the Jade Pool No. 7]
[Comprehensive Reaction Index: 7.8, Approaching Evolved Individual Standards]
[Comprehensive Strength Index: 6.9]
[Mech Technique Index: 3]
[Divinity Activation Index: 0.1]
[Divinity Skill Index: 0]

Accompanying the refresh of the AI data panel, a sweet-sounding female AI voice transmitted, "Welcome to the Virtual Training Assistant Platform. I am your virtual assistant, Xiao Chi."

"Trainee: Li Yi. This training session's specialization is Mech Techniques."

"The essence of mech techniques is a skill frequently employed in combat between mechs of the same class when unable to penetrate defenses."

"Mastering this skill can allow you to induce a control stagger in your opponent at any time."

"When practiced to a profound level, it can even bypass the protection of a Divine Mech and bring the pilot to their death."

"It also teaches you how to protect yourself within the mech when struck by a powerful opponent."

"It is a crucial skill to master for short-to-medium range combat in space."

"According to the assessment, your current Mech Technique proficiency is 'Ordinary'."

"Based on AI analysis, you will now be taught the basic mech technique of the Jade Pool No. 7, the Quake-Word Technique."

"Please study diligently."

The voice information flowed rapidly, and the black and white mech in front began to move.

Li Yi knew that compared to his perfect-level combat skills, his mech techniques were indeed only a small part learned from fragmented memories.

After all, he hadn't had the opportunity to interact with mechs before, nor could he obtain relevant memory fragments through dreams.

His foundation was indeed much weaker.

The reason he could incapacitate Lin Hua from a distance before wasn't due to his own meager mech skills.

It was by using his combat techniques to forcefully pull the opponent into a position most comfortable for him to execute mech techniques that he achieved such a result.

Therefore, he didn't slacken, his gaze fixed intently on the black and white mech.

The initial movements of the black and white mech were somewhat like ancient martial arts, possessing a sense of elegant fluidity and beauty.

Following that, the black and white mech's punching speed began to increase.

It was thrown out like a giant javelin and then quickly stopped.

As the fist moved, the sound of air vibrating was like a hurricane tearing through the atmosphere, incredibly terrifying.

Beyond the punches, even its body movements were like this.

He attacks quickly, then stops just as fast, creating a massive impact in an instant.

As a master of combat, Li Yi immediately understood the principle behind it.

Essentially, it was no different from the shock fist or whip fist techniques in martial arts.

Of course, achieving the same effect with a giant mech would require accounting for the subtle differences between a human body and a mech.

This, however, was no problem for Li Yi.

From a bird's-eye view, the differences could easily be smoothed over.

After studying it once, Li Yi began practicing with the virtual Pluto Mech.

His first attempt was still a bit clumsy.

He couldn't replicate the same violent air explosion.

By the second attempt, he was about seventy to eighty percent there.

His third attempt essentially achieved a complete replication.

Just as he was preparing for his fourth attempt.

AI Xiao Chi's voice came through:

"Congratulations, Li Yi. Your efficiency in mastering the Quake-Word Technique is astonishing, far surpassing all other students. You have triggered a hidden training mission set by the fourth-generation instructor, Heng Xing. Do you accept this hidden training mission?"

Li Yi was a little surprised. "A hidden training mission? What happens if I accept?"

AI Xiao Chi explained:

"Each generation of instructors for the Special Selection Class is obligated to set their unique ultimate skills as hidden missions within the AI-assisted training assistant system, allowing those who meet the specific conditions to learn them."

"The mission you've triggered now is from Instructor Heng Xing, who is currently a Celestial Rank evolver."

"If you complete the training, you will have the opportunity to master the Divine Mech skill invented by Instructor Heng Xing, the Heng Xing Quake Burst."

That naming convention is quite chuunibyo...

Li Yi said in surprise, "How can a mech skill be related to a Divine Mech skill?"

"Student Li Yi, that's where you're mistaken. There are plenty of examples of mech skills and combat skills evolving into Divine Mech skills."

AI Xiao Chi said with a smile, "After all, mech skills and combat skills are just ways of utilizing power. Divine Mech skills are the same."

"So if I accept this hidden mission, are there any failure penalties? Also, if I complete this hidden training mission, will I fully master this Divine Mech skill?"

AI Xiao Chi patiently replied:

"There are no objective penalties. However, if you're worried that this might distract you and affect your current training camp, that's something you'll need to consider."

"As for whether you can master this Divine Mech skill, since there are no precedents, I cannot give you a definitive answer. I can only tell you that it is a possibility."

Li Yi nodded. "Understood. I choose to accept the mission."

Having understood all this, Li Yi didn't hesitate.

What he lacked was not a matter of time management.

It was access to high-level skills.

As long as he could genuinely come into contact with related things, he could generate related parallel memory fragments.

The success rate would naturally be much higher.

AI Xiao Chi nodded.

"Okay, confirmed. Trainee Li Yi accepts the hidden training mission."

"Initiating Phase One training. Please prepare yourself."

Li Yi tensed, waiting.

In front of him, five Divine Mechs, each forty-three meters tall with bodies like enlarged bears, appeared out of thin air.

"Trainee, you have three minutes to defeat all opponents using the Quake-Word Technique."

"Remember, the finishing move must use the Quake-Word Technique. Otherwise, you will be judged as having failed the training and the hidden training channel will be permanently closed."

"For Phase One, you only have one chance to fail. Please give it your all."

Li Yi naturally entered his most focused state without needing AI Xiao Chi's warning.

Facing five bulky opponents, he had to leverage his advantages and attack with full force, preventing them from surrounding him.

The Pluto Mech began to charge forward.

The five giant bear mechs also charged forward from front to back, their steps shaking the earth.
