Chapter 135 Intense Assessment, Exclusive Bio-equipment

"The Clumsy Dragon: Falling Stars" is based on Lin Zhuo's most proud and proud move. Because of the perfect harmony between the two, he was able to integrate six minor supernatural powers into it, allowing the enhancement of true essence and magic power to reach its limit. Other martial arts would not have such a solid foundation to build such a tall building.

Looking at the radiant and bright force-measuring stake, Lin Zhuo felt quite satisfied.

This means he has now completely passed the challenge of the Dragon-Binding Academy.

The force-measuring stake was pulled out. It was made of some unknown material, yet despite the heavy impact, it remained unmarked and spotless. Lin Zhuo still wiped it clean with a rag and returned it to the warehouse, sealing it as it was.

Who knows when the next player to come and challenge this Dragon-Binding Court will be?

It could take a few months, a few years, or even a decade or two.

Lin Zhuo looked up at the strange clouds floating in the sky and wondered if such a long time span was just a drop in the ocean for the experts of Xianyun Sect.

Everything in the training ground seemed untouched by time; used ingredients would be refreshed, piled-up items would not mold or spoil, damaged equipment would be restored, and uninhabited houses would remain bright and clean.

Perhaps for this training ground, there will always be passersby like Lin Zhuo, as long as one is willing to wait.

Remembering all the dust of history and entrusting hope to the future with peace of mind—that's perhaps one of the allure of longevity.

Although the still young Lin Zhuo had tasted a bit of the wonders of immortality, he had no desire to pursue it for the time being. He estimated the time and made arrangements for his schedule.

Lin Zhuo stayed in the training ground to practice peacefully. After the last day, the dungeon refreshed, and Lin Zhuo and his two teammates ran around the map together, spending another three months in the world of "Cangcheng".

He studied and practiced martial arts, and then occasionally made a move. His terrifying destructive power shook the world, and he became a legend in the martial arts world.

The martial arts skills of Shu Yuliu and Jin Xiaohu were equally terrifying to the people of the martial arts world, and the top three spots on the Heavenly Ranking were thus taken.

These three months have been fulfilling and enjoyable. Lin Zhuo has caught up on what he needed to learn and killed all the pigs and dogs he needed to kill. After leaving the dungeon, he summarized that this journey yielded two Enlightenment Diagrams and a number of other white equipment and blue spiritual materials, making the harvest quite considerable.

Enlightenment Scrolls are a valuable commodity that you can never have too many of in the current version. Even if you've obtained duplicates, you can exchange them for what you need on the forum market.

Lin Zhuo then traded the two Enlightenment Diagrams that had been leaked, and based on the market price difference, he could still make a small profit of several hundred Disaster Coins.

The two scrolls obtained in exchange were titled "Ancient Sites in the Desert" and "Fertile Land," respectively. The true characters contained within them were "sand" and "soil," both representing the earth's vital energy that was highly compatible with Lin Zhuo's, making them exceptionally easy to comprehend.

This dungeon journey was easy and enjoyable, but the lack of challenge did make the players yawn a bit. Lin Zhuo and his companions encouraged each other to earn enough merit in the Dao as soon as possible, and then explore higher-level dungeons.

The Ninth Training Base for Dragon Riders.

Lin Zhuo walked out of the time-space tunnel and returned to his dormitory. To be honest, if he didn't have a good memory, he probably would have felt like he was in another world when he saw the scene here, since he had only been in his dormitory for less than an hour.

During this time, Lin Zhuo's actual size increased again, reaching 2.6 meters. If it weren't for the Four Treasures Ruyi Rope that could restrain him, he would have to bend over to squeeze through the dormitory door.

If Lin Zhuo were to return to his normal size, the technicians in the equipment department would be in for a horrifying bang, since the dragon rider armor prepared for him couldn't possibly fit such a large guy inside.

After today, Lin Zhuo will be very busy.

For the next fifteen days, there were an average of 2.4 exams per day. The actual pace was much tighter than that, because the assessment of surface survival skills alone would take seven days. Most of the time was taken up by practical subjects, and there were up to five theoretical exams a day. Each one was a mental challenge, and even an iron man would have to shake his head.

On the first day of the assessment process, Lin Zhuo handled it relatively easily. Of course, he wasn't the only prospective dragon rider in the huge examination hall, but he was the only one who fought the entire day.

The schedule arranged by Longmen was precise down to the minute, and the time Lin Zhuo had to eat and relieve himself was squeezed out from the intervals between exams.

Many soldiers couldn't help but be curious about this new face in the base, and they secretly inquired about and discussed Lin Zhuo's background, but they were quickly stopped by the seasoned instructors and political instructors.

As a result, although they were not allowed to talk about it, their curiosity only grew day by day, and all sorts of rumors began to circulate in the chats that took place in each dormitory before lights out.

Lin Zhuo's every move was observed by his comrades. He was always in a hurry, with no time for casual conversation. He ate alone, slept alone, and took exams alone.

But everyone was certain that this lone wolf approach wouldn't last long, since the practical assessment included collaborative projects.

Dragoon warriors are usually small units, with a minimum of three and a maximum of twelve, forming combat units to enter the battlefield. Teamwork is an essential element.

Therefore, who will be his partner at that time has become a matter of great concern to everyone.

After completing the first day's assessment, Lin Zhuo officially received his own bio-armor, a special privilege that other warriors envied and resented. Before any other dragon rider could don the armor, they had undergone a long and arduous training period. The instructors were like scoundrels, nitpicking and finding fault with even the smallest detail disqualifying them from wearing the armor.

Once they have endured the hardships and truly connected the neural interface to the armor, the significance of this armor will no longer be just a symbol of glorious status, but also a medal to reward their tenacity and perseverance.

Many dragon riders have a deep and complex emotional attachment to their armor, so when they saw Lin Zhuo acquire this set of equipment so easily, they couldn't help but feel that it went against tradition. It was normal for them to frown and grumble a few words, but if the veterans heard them, they would give him another lecture.

In the B0 area of ​​the outer ring of the "Y" shape, there is the Department of Armored Combat Equipment, where Lin Zhuo saw his own set of armor.

The brand-new alloy was unpainted, its dark silver metallic luster shining quietly. It had a slender and upright body, a long trailing tail behind it, and a helmet with white spiky horns like a dragon's head. Only two dark and cold-looking visors were inlaid on the smooth visor.

"Comrade Lin Zhuo, you've come at the right time. Try it on; there are many parameters that need adjusting. By the way, this suit of armor doesn't have built-in AI assistance. What are your plans?" A rather young technician asked him directly.

"I brought it myself." Lin Zhuo took out a square core and handed it to Director Tan, the head of the technical department.

Wearing the bio-suit is quite convenient. After inputting commands into the built-in operating system, the mechanical structure of the suit starts to operate, the helmet pops up, and the armor body blooms like a flower bud, revealing the inner layer of black, tough, rubber-like bio-material structure.

Lin Zhuo was shirtless, revealing the six neural interfaces on his back.

"Why is your interface different from others? Did you use a new procedure?" The surrounding technicians looked puzzled.

"Almost." Lin Zhuo's original metal neural interface could no longer adapt to his rapidly expanding body size and was actively expelled by the colony cells in his spinal cord.

Now, these six holes are all smooth skin, marked with six dark circles, as natural as birthmarks, yet as neat as tattoos. These are biomaterial nerve interfaces formed by spinal cord cells according to Lin Zhuo's needs.

"Aren't you going to take those things off your hands?" another technician kindly reminded her.

"I can't let this out of my sight for now." Lin Zhu raised the Dragon Summoning Chain Hammer on his wrist.

He stepped into the bio-armor, and the mechanical structure gradually closed and tightened. After Lin Zhuo finished putting on the armor on his left arm, he unfastened the chain hammer on his right wrist and held it, thus sealing off the armor on his right arm as well. Then he put on the helmet, and the spinal nerve interface connected to the probes extending from the outer armor.

In an instant, as if struck by lightning, Lin Zhuo felt his body swell, and another body was wrapped under his "skin".

"You'll feel like you've grown bigger right now. This is the result of your brain misinterpreting abnormal neural signals. Relax, and you'll be fine soon. You'll get used to it. Many dragon riders even think that their armor is their real body. That's a sign that their brain is malfunctioning," Director Tan explained methodically.

Lin Zhuo said in a muffled voice, "I'm fully armored, and I feel good."

"Then I'll fully activate the electronic system and conduct a self-check. I don't know if the AI ​​you brought can adapt to the hardware ecosystem. If it can't, it will have to be replaced, and there's no room for discussion even if you have a special status."

"I believe it."

A massive flow of data began to appear in Lin Zhuo's field of vision.

[System started, loading assistive intelligence 1% ———————— 50% ———————— 99%, 00%]

A familiar voice came from the helmet's built-in speaker.

"Hello, Kobayashi, you finally remembered me?"

"Welcome back, Comrade Chijiang."
