High-level martial arts: I can choose Hextech equips.

"Let's admit defeat."

In the virtual space, Li Rufeng's voice echoed within the channel.

"In this final small battle, Luo Jiuli will definitely try her best to humiliate you. We don't need to become stepping stones for the new mecha."

Having said that, the surrender button appeared in the lower right corner of his vision, and he quickly clicked two votes.

Fortunately, a unanimous surrender meant a loss... Lin Shuxuan breathed a sigh of relief after discovering two traitors within his team.

He didn't rush to order, but instead recalled the referee's earlier remarks.

This competition is limited to the Star-level mech category.

The Luo family's mecha bypassed the Battle.net system's detection because of its novel design.

Although Battle.net was designed and built by them, the rules are just a matter of a word.

However, the rules apply to both parties. If he also has a sufficiently novel mech that is not classified as a star-level mech in Battle.net, he can also pilot it.

I do have one... Lin Shuxuan dragged the mecha selection interface in front of him until an ancient and solemn dragon-headed mecha came into view.

As expected, there is a choice to be made.

With teammates defeated and the enemy using their wealth and power off the field to exert pressure, isn't this the perfect moment for a god to descend and reverse the outcome?

The Luo family's new mecha possessed almost terrifying dominance, but Lin Shuxuan believed that it would be no match for the mecha in front of him.

Consciousness connection.

He suddenly stopped moving.

The scene revealed by [Future Vision] suddenly appeared in my mind.

In the scene, Luo Jiuli looked terrified as his body was torn to pieces in mid-air.

This mech has a mysterious origin, and it might not be a good choice to pilot it rashly; exposing it to the attention of the Battle.net and the Federation could bring a lot of trouble.

Thinking of this, he abandoned the idea of ​​crushing the mech.

Twenty years of Dragon Fist training may not necessarily mean there's no chance of victory.

At that moment, a sudden change occurred.

In the selection interface, the dragon-headed mech moved. Its wings flapped slightly, and it arrived in front of Lin Shuxuan in an instant.

The black claws rose and grabbed the astonished boy.

......

Inside the venue, the discussion was in full swing.

"The Luo family actually prepared such a surprise; they're definitely the winners of this competition."

"What a pity. I thought I would see Lin Shuxuan go all out today. He has been hiding his strength in the previous matches."

"The mechs of the new era are far inferior to those of the planetary level. If I were Lin Shuxuan, I would surrender now and definitely not give the Luo family a free GG."

"Why haven't you started yet? Are you going to give up or keep going? Hurry up!"

pat.

The sound of the circuit breaker switching on echoed throughout the venue, plunging the entire place into darkness.

Only six virtual pods on the stage flickered with a faint blue light.

Those present were all martial artists, capable of seeing even in the dark, so they were not alarmed by the situation, but complaints still arose.

The unexpected turn of events at the final match point left everyone watching feeling dissatisfied.

The broadcast started.

"I'm sorry, everyone, a short circuit was detected in the venue's wiring. The Luo family will fully reimburse the ticket prices for this event."

Battle.net Central Control Room.

The large screen in the center of the room was bright red, and the instruments beeped short and rapidly.

Staff members dressed in white lab coats paced back and forth, their expressions filled with anxiety.

"Report: The match server is experiencing severe disruptions; the cause is unknown."

"Report: The power supply core deployed at the Federal Military Academy is overloaded, with one virtual pod being overloaded by a hundred times."

In the center, an elderly man with gray hair frowned deeply.

"Pause the game with administrator privileges first."

The old man didn't care about the so-called Battle.net competition, but today was the day the Luo family's third-generation prototype went online for testing.

This mech is not yet fully developed and can only be recreated within Battle.net.

But the strength and potential they've shown are already astonishing!

This competition, open to the entire Federation, could create a compelling myth and attract substantial investment for the yet-to-be-born mech.

"Report: Insufficient permissions..."

The old man suddenly turned around.

"How is that possible?"

The Battle.net platform was created by the Luo family, and they can even modify the competition rules at will. How could they possibly have insufficient permissions?

"Let's... turn off the power first."

The situation is still unclear. Although it is a pity to lose a demonstration opportunity, we still have to make a choice compared to the security of the entire Battle.net.

"It's been cut off, but the competition uniform is still running, teacher... we don't know what happened."

The researchers present were all top-notch liberal arts students with exceptional academic backgrounds and talents. For them to admit their helplessness, something far beyond imagination must have happened.

Overwriting administrator privileges and even cutting off the power had no effect... The old man said in a deep voice:

"Adjust the contingency plan, rewrite the program; at the very least, we need to see what's happening inside."

......

Power, unparalleled power, an everlasting, surging power.

It felt as if a mighty river was surging through my veins, and a sun was burning endlessly in my chest.

Lin Shuxuan took a deep breath, as if inhaling and exhaling the entire world.

Just now, he was preparing to pilot an ordinary planetary mech to fight Luo Jiuli, but the dragon-headed mech in front of him seemed to have developed its own consciousness.

He actually broke through the fourth wall and drove Lin Shuxuan directly into the arena.

Before he could even process the shock, the exquisite power immediately captivated his mind.

Lin Shuxuan was not without experiences of sudden leaps in combat power.

His initial success transformed him from an ordinary person with no skills into a highly accomplished martial arts master.

But compared to today, the improvement in cultivation level before was like a small stream compared to the Yellow River.

"Right now, I could probably kill Guan Yunyang with ease..." Lin Shuxuan admired his palm.

The black claws are covered with beautiful and intricate patterns, and the scales have a metallic texture, yet they seem to breathe and wriggle like a living creature.

Unlike when he appeared in the cockpit of a planetary-level mech, he seemed to have merged directly with the dragon-headed mech.

To command with ease.

He gently shook the membrane behind his wings. He took to the skies.

No, it's not flying upwards.

Instead, the earth is descending, the sky is descending, and the whole world is like a lover with outstretched arms, giving and taking whatever one desires.

High in the air, he could easily take in everything on the field.

This is a flat, sandy area with a few scattered pillars serving as variables in the competition; Luo Jiuli's amethyst mech is right across from them.

They are warming up right now, eager to get started.

As you gaze intently, the world changes again in your eyes.

The amethyst mech gradually transformed into a dense array of 0s and 1s, rendering the firewall and encryption programs virtually useless; this was the absolute secret of the Luo family's prototype.

But now it's laid bare before Lin Shuxuan.

It wasn't just the prototype that was naked; he discovered that Luo Jiuli's clothes could also be transformed into 0s and 1s of code.

The girl's figure was soft and beautiful, with a plump and fleshy feel.

It would be impolite to look any longer... Lin Shuxuan looked up at the sky and could see other battle network rooms through the virtual sky.

It seems that with just a flap of its wings, it could easily slip into other rooms.

Unfortunately, after he entered the arena in this dragon-headed mech, his connection with the outside world was severed.

Can the game continue...? This thought flashed through my mind, and the countdown at the center of the world immediately began.

So...attack... Lin Shuxuan controlled his body, and then heard a dragon roar that almost tore a person's soul apart from his throat.

"I didn't scream..." This was the only thought left in Lin Shuxuan's mind a split second before his consciousness was about to explode.

Inside the mecha control room, Luo Jiuli was warming up.

This is the latest achievement of the Luo family's research over the past thirty years, and it almost perfectly replicates the Hengxing-level mecha in all aspects.

The cockpit alone completely abandons the complicated keyboards and joysticks.

Through the transmission of human posture, the pilot can make the mecha completely simulate his own movements, and even make the mecha use martial arts techniques.

It also has five screens that capture the battlefield in 360 degrees. This operating system alone is far superior to that of basic mechs.

I've heard that the Federation has even more powerful mechs.

It can make a person's consciousness merge with it, but that kind of thing that only exists in the Federation's legends, even though she is the daughter of the Luo family, she has only heard a few words about it.

The countdown begins in the sky.

Luo Jiuli was overjoyed.

What she feared most was Lin Shuxuan surrendering, but now it seems he still has some backbone and dignity.

"I'll make sure you lose easily..." Luo Jiuli said smugly, her beautiful eyes scanning the area, searching for the mecha but finding nothing.

What about people?

Before I could even think it through, a piercing alarm rang in my ears.

"An unidentified flying object is rapidly approaching."

"An unidentified flying object is rapidly approaching."

Flying object... Luo Jiuli looked up and saw a dragon-human creature with its mouth split open to 180 degrees rushing towards her.

The flesh twisted and swelled, bursting the scales all over its body and standing upright.

The strangely swollen flesh made this unidentified creature look particularly ferocious and bizarre.

Especially the other person's face.

It has ten pairs of compound eyes, with protruding and rotating eyeballs, like a baby eager to hatch.

Clearly, there was no rationality whatsoever.

Luo Jiuli dared not be negligent and quickly dodged to the side.

She was very fast, her engine roaring as she revved up, and in the blink of an eye she had retreated more than a hundred meters.

The dust kicked up scattered everywhere; this mobility is top-notch even in the entire Federation.

But it's meaningless.

After standing still for a moment, the strange dragon-headed mech did not pursue them and remained in place.

It gnawed on an arm, and the amethyst, which should have been hard, was like candy in its mouth.

As the throat swallows, flesh twists and wriggles on both sides of the abdomen, as if new arms are about to grow.

When... Luo Jiuli was shocked. She thought she had reacted to the limit, but her arm was still pulled off in an instant, and she didn't even realize it for a moment.

Is this a bug...?

As the daughter of the Luo family, her familiarity with Battle.net was among the best in the Federation, but the scene before her was truly beyond her comprehension.

This is definitely not normal.

She tried to communicate with the outside world, but all she got was a busy signal.

Damn it, let me quit the game first... Luo Jiuli opened the Battle.net system interface, only to find that the logout button was grayed out.

"Cannot exit!?"

A sudden, overwhelming terror gripped her mind, even though she knew there was no pain in the battle network and everything she experienced was virtual.

But faced with this demonic dragon-headed mech, the sheer terror remained palpable.

As her arm was completely devoured, the dragon-headed monster looked at her again.

Almost instantly, Luo Jiuli activated her mecha to escape, but it was to no avail.

Another arm was torn off.

This was a desperate meal. Luo Jiuli was devastated to discover that no matter how she operated it, the Dragon Head Mech could easily destroy the torso of her mech.

The reason it wasn't struck to the point of incapacitation is simply because it wasn't necessary.

Perhaps driven by their hunting instincts, the dragon-headed monsters prefer live prey.

Left leg, right leg...

The mech had been dismembered and broken into pieces.

If such injuries occurred to a human, they would be lying on the spot, but as a mech, it still has several thrusters in its waist, allowing for limited movement.

Of course, this is also meaningless.

After devouring the limbs, the monster easily scooped up the torso of the purple-gold mech.

Swallowing it in large gulps.

Luo Jiuli had no intention of resisting anymore.

Within Battle.net, the death of a virtual character will force you to log out of Battle.net.

Once the monster devours her, the farce will naturally come to an end.

The scene reflected on the large screen was like hell. Luo Jiuli kept trying to comfort herself, but the fear grew stronger and stronger.

It's okay, it's okay. Battle.net doesn't transmit pain signals, it won't hurt...

next moment.

The cockpit was torn apart by sharp teeth, and she stared into the eyes of those ten pairs of ferocious compound eyes.

A pain so intense it felt like it was tearing the soul apart came over me.

"ah!!!!!!"

The warm blood and the woman's screams brought Lin Shuxuan back to his senses.

Ever since the idea of ​​attacking was conceived, the scene before my eyes has been like a lagging PowerPoint presentation, only pausing at a few key frames.

It started with dismantling that mecha and ended with devouring Luo Jiuli.

It felt like I had a terrible nightmare.

Still so hungry...so painful...the feeling came from my stomach, and the mech actually bent down and swallowed the sand on the ground.

No, it has to end... The worst-case scenario Lin Shuxuan had anticipated has occurred as expected; he has completely lost control of the mecha.

Although the opponent is as powerful as a demon god, the side effects behind it are equally terrifying.

If it weren't for the solid martial arts cultivation brought by the opening, and Luo Jiuli's familiar voice slightly waking him up, he would have been in trouble.

He might be forever trapped in the mindset of the mecha.

He attempted to control the Dragon Head mech directly using the same method as manipulating a planetary-level mech, through his own cheat-like abilities.

"Stop! Stop! Stop!"

The struggle against his will brought him excruciating pain that almost tore his soul apart; it was as if he were going against his own instincts.

The dragon-headed mech roared to the sky, filled with immense anger and resentment.

Damn it... I can't stop it... Lin Shuxuan felt his consciousness gradually shattering and falling apart; he must have done something wrong.

Otherwise, this mech wouldn't be so difficult to control.

Above the arena, three crisscrossing silver tracks suddenly appeared in the distant sky, like silver dragon horns soaring across the heavens.

Space-based kinetic orbit!

The orbit around Tianbang Star, which was said to be capable of destroying an entire fleet, appeared in the virtual battle network.

It's right above the playing field.

They move, intersect, and interlock.

Then the silvery light gathered in the sky and remained motionless.

A moment later, the divine punishment, like the Sword of Damocles, descended upon Lin Shuxuan.
