Absolute Fluid

As the AI Xiao Chi finished its explanation.

In front of the Pluto Mech, a skeletal mech appeared, its body thin, limbs long and slender, like a giant skeleton.

The skeletal mech began to practice its movements.

Its body moved, shifting left and right, coordinated with its steps, the power in its shoulders, arms, elbows, and wrists flowing as one.

Each punch thrown into the air would trigger a violent shriek.

The shriek was as piercing as sandpaper repeatedly rubbing against an eardrum.

Li Yi, under the Pluto Mech's panoramic view, watched intently.

"Interesting. The so-called Pierce-Word Technique is actually a mech technique version of jabs, thrusts, and other moves in combat."

"However, when applied to a giant like a mech, the destructive power formed by concentrating immense pressure on a single point is even more astonishing."

"In actual combat, if a Pierce-Word Technique strike hits the mech's head, the pilot will most likely suffer a concussive injury."

"The Quake-Word Technique transmits high-frequency vibrational force to stun the pilot; the Pierce-Word Technique transmits highly concentrated piercing force, which causes more direct damage to the pilot."

The former caused greater damage to the mind and head, while the latter caused greater physical damage.

Li Yi quickly understood the principles and began to practice.

First practice.

He moved his body, channeling the Pluto Mech's physical strength, concentrating it as one, and delivered a shriek that shook several kilometers.

Second practice.

He made slight adjustments, adding his own understanding, and delivered a shriek with a wide range that could make a normal person dizzy and disoriented, reducing the sound's transmission range to one kilometer.

Third practice.

He adjusted again, without many preparatory movements, and immediately unleashed a high-frequency sonic wave whose vibration frequency surpassed the limit of human hearing, reducing the sound's transmission range to within three hundred meters.

"Got it!"

After this practice, Li Yi's eyes brightened.

At this moment, AI Xiao Chi's voice also chimed in:

"Congratulations, your strength is not scattered, and high concentration is the essence of the Pierce-Word Technique. You have once again broken the record for the fastest mastery of the Pierce-Word Technique and have independently mastered the initiation method without redundant movements, which is truly astonishing."

Li Yi waited for a moment, and finding that AI Xiao Chi didn't continue speaking, he expressed his regret:

"Did breaking this record not trigger any hidden training missions related to the Pierce-Word Technique?"

"I'm sorry, it did not."

AI Xiao Chi explained:

"Although the Pierce-Word Technique is a basic mech technique, no derivative skills have been developed for it. Your current mastery of initiation without redundant movements is already the optimal and fastest activation method."

"Therefore, you can now choose to learn a new basic mech technique, or you can choose to enter the training missions left by the Fourth Generation Instructor."

Li Yi thought for a moment and said decisively:

"Since that's the case, please arrange for me to learn a new basic mech technique."

"Understood, arranging it for you now: the Adhere-Word Technique."

"This move can effectively defend against various mech techniques, and even Divinity Techniques with physical attack properties. Please study it carefully."

Chen Qiong Zhi sat in the control room of the virtual reality simulation, looking at the screens full of monitoring feeds, checking the learning progress of others.

Most people on the screens were unable to quickly master the Quake-Word Technique in a very short period.

They could only passively enter virtual mech battles, being brutally beaten by the virtual mechs summoned by AI Xiao Chi.

Some members of the Righteous Clan had already learned the Quake-Word Technique.

However, as long as their foundation was not stable or solid, they would be judged by AI Xiao Chi as needing practical combat experience.

Thus, they were all intensely targeted by the virtual mechs, struggling miserably.

Only a very small number of people quickly mastered the Quake-Word Technique in virtual mech battles and moved on to learning the Pierce-Word Technique.

Looking at the performance of the entire class, Chen Qiong Zhi couldn't help but shake her head inwardly:

"As expected, compared to that generation, this generation of mine has lacked much tempering. Many people's talents might not be inferior, but when they encounter difficulties, they subconsciously choose the easier mode."

"In contrast, it's Li Yi who easily learned the mech techniques, and even AI Xiao Chi judged that he didn't need virtual combat and could directly learn new content."

"But Li Yi alone, as a non-evolved individual, cannot change the situation."

"Could it be that Class 3 is going to be at the bottom in this year's competition?"

Just as Chen Qiong Zhi was lost in thought.

With a creak, the door slid open automatically, and someone walked in.

"Yo, busy? I heard your class has a non-evolved individual who can beat evolved individuals. They seem to be doing quite well."

This person was two meters tall, with a rough face, a hooked nose, a scruffy beard, and dressed casually.

He possessed an aura that was quite like a mighty ancient general.

Chen Qiong Zhi, busy watching the monitors, casually glanced at the person who spoke and said in a flat tone:

"Liang Zhishen, what are you doing here? Come to defend Liang Shaocong?"

"What does that brat have to do with me? Even though my surname is Liang, I'm not close with the main family branch."

Liang Zhishen said with a grin:

"It's just that there was a change with the ancient civilization ruins, and the personnel list was reduced, so I came to scout around and see if I could get a few more spots for us."

"Oh, are you looking for a fight?"

Chen Qiong Zhi's expression immediately darkened:

"What are you thinking, class 2, daring to ask for our class's spots?"

"We're just discussing it. Anyway, your class took all the spotlight last year, and all the good prospects have their own futures and graduated directly. This year, there aren't many experts, so it should be our turn, right?"

Chen Qiong Zhi spat out one word: "Scram!"

"Fine, if you don't agree, then I'll wait for the third class's competition and openly take your spots."

"You can. If these people are not as skilled, then I have nothing to say."

Chen Qiong Zhi nodded.

"Hey, you, let's discuss it properly. It would look better for both our classes if we handle this with some dignity."

"Discuss it properly?"

Chen Qiong Zhi looked up, her almond-shaped eyes suddenly bursting with astonishing color. She said sternly:

"If you're not strict now, when these new recruits get onto the battlefield, you'll be waiting to attend their funerals!"

"The interstellar border has been relatively peaceful for the past decade or so, don't speak carelessly and shake the morale!"

"Scram!"

Liang Zhishen was completely put off by Chen Qiong Zhi's tough attitude. He muttered a few words and left dejectedly.

After leaving the monitoring room, Liang Zhishen took a deep breath, and couldn't help but feel some self-doubt, thinking to himself:

"Upon reflection, Chen Qiong Zhi might not be wrong in her scolding. She has been diligently training her troops all these years with remarkable results, while I, after the Tianheng Star War twelve years ago, unconsciously slacked off."

"If some unforeseen change occurs later, will the soldiers I lead truly be finished?"

For some reason, AI Xiao Chi had been lagging for a long time.

After a while, AI Xiao Chi said intermittently:

"Congratulations on breaking the fastest mastery record for the Adhere-Word Technique again, triggering the hidden training mission left by the First Generation Instructor Tu Zhenyu. Would you like to accept it?"

Li Yi's eyes lit up slightly. Not bad, it seemed the drop rate for these hidden training missions was quite high.

Moreover, why was AI Xiao Chi so laggy this time with the hidden training mission?

Was it too much information?

After thinking about it, Li Yi decided to accept the mission first.

"Accept."

"Okay, for this hidden training mission, if you complete it all, there is a certain probability of mastering the Divinity Technique, Absolute Fluid. Please participate with focus."

"However, I don't plan to participate in the hidden training immediately. Can I choose to postpone it?"

"Yes, you can."

"Please continue to arrange new basic mech techniques for me to learn."

Li Yi planned to complete all the basic mech techniques in one go before challenging the hidden training one by one.

This way, it would be the most efficient, and it would also solidify his foundation and improve his success rate in the hidden training.

After all, the number of attempts was limited. If he used up all the attempts and wasted a good skill, it would be a waste.

"Okay, I will now arrange the learning of the Vortex-Word Technique for you."

"The Vortex-Word Technique is good for both offense and defense. When combined with any other mech technique, it can unleash immense power. Please learn it with focus."
