"Minister, who was the Dragon Shield originally intended for when the headquarters built it?"
Following Yu Lie as they flew forward, Yu Xian finally couldn't contain his curiosity and asked.
"When the Dragon Shield was first built, the plan was for it to be the highest tribute for the thousandth anniversary of the nation's founding, but after that person learned of this, he believed that as an ordinary person, spending a large amount of manpower and resources to provide him with this level of protection was purely a waste of precious extraordinary resources, so he directly refused."
But the design blueprints and core materials were already prepared, so after several discussions in meetings, it was decided to build it first, and young talents from various departments were all eligible to compete for it.
Originally, the person most likely to obtain the Dragon Shield was Xiao Yi, but you clearly need the Dragon Shield's protection more than Xiao Yi now, and you are also more important than Xiao Yi, so the Dragon Shield belongs to you." Yu Lie explained slowly as they walked.
Yu Xian didn't expect the Dragon Shield's specifications to be so high, while Yu Lie smiled and said, "Don't feel burdened, Hua Qiang is right, you are now the most important talent in our Kirin, even more strategically valuable than Xiao Yi, you deserve the Dragon Shield!"
"Okay, I will work hard to be worthy of it and will never let down the Minister's trust!" Yu Xian nodded seriously.
The two continued to walk forward, walking for about fifteen minutes, finally entering a room that required multiple layers of verification.
As they entered the last door, Yu Xian saw a giant red dragon coiled in the center of the room, then the giant dragon suddenly dispersed, turning into countless scales flying around wildly, with a red gem in the middle.
The scales sometimes formed a giant dragon, sometimes turned into countless small dragons circling around the gem, and finally scattered and regrouped again, changing in countless ways.
It was too beautiful.
The ultimate equipment built with the strength of a nation was beyond what any individual could imagine.
Yu Xian was completely stunned, this was no longer ordinary equipment, it was simply a perfect work of art, without a single flaw.
"Go and drip your blood onto the core of the Dragon Shield, go on." Yu Lie said to Yu Xian with a smile.
Yu Xian swallowed, nodded, and slowly manipulated the bubble to float forward. Because the Dragon Shield was ownerless, it didn't prevent him from approaching. He used a silver thread to cut his finger and dripped blood onto the floating red gem.
After being stained with blood, the red gem quickly absorbed it, and the originally dull red gem gradually emitted a red halo.
The next moment, the red gem suddenly shot into Yu Xian's chest, and at the same time, the surrounding scales followed the red gem closely, rotating around Yu Xian, sometimes turning into a giant dragon coiling around him, and sometimes becoming countless scattered scales rotating irregularly around Yu Xian.
Yu Xian felt as if he had gained an extra organ. These scales didn't require his control; they could autonomously defend against all attacks, but at the same time, he himself could freely manipulate these scales.
"If I inject Space Blood Energy into the core..."
He could feel the core created by Godhead slowly absorbing his physical energy. At this moment, he suddenly had an idea and mobilized the Space Blood Energy within his body to inject into the core instead of physical energy.
The scales that were originally flying around randomly began to flicker.
They had actually gained the ability to shuttle through space, constantly space-jumping around him.
Yu Xian extended his hand, and a reversed scale instantly teleported to his fingertip. The scale was roughly the size of two thumbnails, about four centimeters long, and estimated to be half a centimeter thick.
It didn't feel hard to the touch, but rather a bit soft, making it hard to imagine that these reversed scales possessed extremely strong defensive power.
With a thought from Yu Xian, all the scales stopped rotating around him and instead flickered irregularly around the bubble, looking like twinkling golden dots of light.
He turned back to Yu Lie's side. Yu Lie looked at the flickering scales and exclaimed in surprise, "Is this a space ability?"
"Yes, I tried injecting the energy within my body into the core, and as a result, all the reversed scales gained the ability to space jump," Yu Xian nodded.
"Let me try!"
Yu Lie tried punching towards the bubble. Instantly, more than fifty reversed scales formed a shield that flashed into existence in front, perfectly blocking his fist.
Wow!
Yu Lie became interested and his punching speed became faster and faster, but the scales were even faster, perfectly blocking his attack every time.
Finally, he even opened his Heavenly Eye and shot countless golden lights at Yu Xian, but every single golden light was blocked by the instantly teleporting scales, leaving absolutely no opening.
If the original Dragon Shield's scales still required a tiny bit of time to move, and could barely be said to have an opening, then the current Dragon Shield with space ability was truly a perfect defense in every sense.
Yu Lie's attack speed became faster and faster. By the later stages, Yu Xian actually couldn't see Yu Lie's movements clearly and relied entirely on the Dragon Shield's autonomous defense ability. Only when Yu Lie stopped attacking did he realize through the core's feedback how many times he had been attacked by Yu Lie.
"Good, very good, the Dragon Shield truly belongs to you. Perhaps all of this was arranged by fate in the dark; you are the most suitable candidate for the Dragon Shield," Yu Lie said happily.
Yu Xian was completely stunned. Yu Lie had just attacked thousands of times, even using his Heavenly Eye's golden light, but he didn't expect the Dragon Shield could even block light-speed attacks.
Too strong!
This defense, this reaction speed, full of security.
On the way back to the headquarters, Yu Lie said, "Xiao Yu, now you have space ability and the ability to resist attacks below Dragon-level. I want to give you a mission."
"Minister, please speak," Yu Xian said seriously.
Yu Lie smiled and said, "I hope you can conduct a nationwide inspection and find potential threats like the Xing Tian Zombie King in various cities as much as possible, so they can be discovered and dealt with early."
Then, without waiting for Yu Xian to speak, he smiled and said, "This mission has no time limit. You can do it in your spare time after school. If you find a place, solve it. We'll take our time, no need to rush. Oh, right, Xiao Yu, are you planning to go to college?"
"I'm considering taking the entrance exam for Yan Jing Vocational Technical College, but I'm not sure if I can get in," Yu Xian said a little awkwardly, not expecting Yu Lie to change the subject so quickly, and was stunned for a moment before speaking.
Yu Lie was immediately happy and said, "Good, it's great that you have this idea. Remember, you must go to college. Life isn't just about strength on the physical level; strength on the spiritual level is equally important, and spiritual strength comes from one's own cultural foundation and all experiences. Everything you've experienced will eventually turn into nourishment for your spirit, making you stronger."
When talking about college, his eyes were full of nostalgia, as if reminiscing about his lost youth.
"Okay, I will work hard!" Yu Xian nodded in response.
For cultural classes, he actually had 100% confidence. After activating his Super Brain, casually studying should allow him to score above 300 points. The problem was the practical combat class.
He hadn't participated in practical combat classes before and would need to find time to practice with Nora later so they could improve together.
Actually, he hadn't thought about going to college before. This idea only slowly emerged after talking with Nora. As soon as he thought about being classmates with Nora again, this idea became stronger and stronger.
Now that he had Yu Lie's affirmation, he had already made up his mind in his heart: he would take the entrance exam for Yan Jing Vocational Technical College!
