Chapter 203: Technology + Mechanical Beast = Mecha Beast?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“As expected of a top-tier Class 5. Just from the explanation, it feels much stronger than a Level 4 Mechanical Leopard Beast already!”
After reading the information, Tru sighed from the bottom of his heart. “Especially the last Tiger Roar skill. It can actually compare to an attack from a Class 6. It’s truly terrifying.”
“Just by looking at it, we can’t really see its prowess.”
Lin Ye shook his head and tapped the Sabretooth Tiger Mechanical Beast on the back.
Crack—
Like a mechanism turning, a fist-sized slot appeared the next moment.
“It’s best to place mid-grade spirit stones in mechanical beasts above Class 5. Spirit stones below the mid-grade are useless.” Lord Zi Yang reminded.
“Thank you.”
Lin Ye nodded. He had just rewarded him with 100 mid-grade spirit stones. He took one out and placed it in the energy chamber.
Rumble!!
A moment later, the energy was absorbed and the slot closed automatically. The sabretooth tiger’s closed eyes instantly opened, and its pupils emitted a dark golden glow.
At the same time, Lin Ye felt as if his mental strength had formed a connection with the other party.
“This feeling… is so magical!”
Lin Ye was shocked.
This sabretooth tiger was clearly something like a robot, but he could actually sense signs of life from it.
It was as if there was a soul with intelligence hidden under its cold body.
With a thought, the other party could immediately make an attack judgment.
“You sensed it?” When Lord Zi Yang saw Lin Ye’s expression, he knew what he was thinking. He stroked his beard and laughed. “Everyone thinks that mechanisms are dead things, but in fact, mechanical beasts have lives to follow. As long as the heavens exist, there is a possibility that they will develop intelligence.”
“The same goes for trees, demonic beasts, mechanisms, wooden doors, and combs. My lineage broke the taboo and walked out of the rare path of mechanical beasts.”
“It’s a pity that the heavens don’t favor us. We actually lost in terms of resources. What a joke!”
“You mean to say that these three mechanical beasts are alive?” Lin Ye raised his eyebrows.
Although he could feel a trace of vitality from them, something was not quite right. He could not explain the specifics.
“They can be considered to be half-alive. Those below Class 5 can only rely on secret arts, which is the programming of the science department.”
“Senior, you know about science?” Lin Ye was surprised.
He thought that the people from this world did not venture onto the path of science.
“Of course, there are countless ruins on this mainland. There are tens of thousands of Dao and many martial techniques. Some civilizations of the past also walked the path of science. After they were defeated, they also left behind their legacy in the form of a ruin. I was once lucky enough to enter a high-level technological ruin and understand its secrets.”
“How should I describe it? It’s a very magical and special path. It follows the essence of matter and analyzes all things.”
“On this point, it’s quite similar to the magus path in certain martial worlds.”
“Just with a mortal body, one can match a demigod with the help of external items.”
“Legend has it that when one walks to the end of this path, they can still turn into a god as a mortal. It can be considered an extraordinary path.”
“It’s a pity that the path of science is too complicated. I couldn’t even start on that path, let alone merge it with my path of using mechanical beasts. It’s too difficult!”
At this point, Lord Zi Yang shook his head in regret.
“You guys can’t, but I can!!” Lin Ye laughed wildly in his heart, his eyes even lighting up.
Integrating science with mechanical beasts. Wouldn’t this make an armed mechanical beast?
In the future, when technology improved, he could transform them into mechas, Gundams and so on.
“Forget it, these are off topic. Let’s not talk about it. Let’s talk about mechanical beasts. For mechanical beasts above Class 5, they have a qualitative upgrade. Inside them is a beast spirit that has been captured and forcefully integrated with the mechanical beasts. This way, it forms a new life form.”
“The ordinary way to operate it is to leave your imprint on the core of the beast spirit with your mind. This way, you will be its owner. Any thoughts can be transmitted to it with a single thought. With the help of the beast spirit, the mechanical beast will be able to complete the orders you give.”
“Of course, it’s easy for problems to arise when using this method. For example, if you meet other mechanical beast grandmasters, they can use their divine sense to determine the location of your imprint in the mechanical beast. Furthermore, through various secret techniques, as long as they spend some time, they can erase the imprints you left behind in the beast spirit’s core. From there, they can turn the tables and snatch the mechanical beast away.”
“Therefore, we don’t recommend using the first method. The second method is to bind it with blood and make an agreement using the bloodline contract technique. However, this way, you will be bound to the mechanical beast and you won’t be able to trade it away.”
“The last method is our sect’s internal method. It’s the best and most convenient way. It consists of three great secret volumes: Mental Cultivation, Spirit Cultivation, and Soul Melting!”
“Every one of them has a corresponding way to control the beast spirit. Moreover, every one of them has dozens of spiritual restriction techniques. Even if you leave the mechanical beasts outside by itself, outsiders can’t do anything to them unless they are great seniors of my Mechanical Beast Sect.”
“Isn’t this equivalent to an anti-theft trap?” Lin Ye shook his head and laughed.
This sect was very smart. As long as others used their mechanical beasts, unless they were recognized by blood, they would be in danger of being taken over.
“It’s normal to leave some tricks behind. If you want to talk about black-hearted people, talk about blacksmiths.”
After saying this, Lord Zi Yang looked furious. “My young friend, you must personally forge your own equipment in the future. You must not hand it to outsiders. Otherwise, if your equipment gets tampered with and a fight breaks out, it will be the most fatal crisis.”
“Senior was schemed against back then?” Lin Ye was curious.
“It’s better not to talk about it.” Lord Zi Yang’s expression was pale, as if he had remembered something bad.
Lin Ye shrugged. While the others were recording their information on the stone tablet, he temporarily left an imprint in the core of the beast spirit.
He then started testing it out.
“Attack me!”
Swish!
The sabretooth tiger mechanical beast instantly turned into an afterimage.
“Tiger Assault? So fast!”
Lin Ye’s pupils constricted. If he did not activate his Heart’s Web, he would not be able to see the tiger’s attack with his eyesight.
“Friendly Hint: You are being attacked by a Level 5 Sabertooth Tiger Mechanical Beast. It will attack from behind in 0.1 seconds!”
“Behind?”
A smile spread across Lin Ye’s face. His Hint talent was indeed awesome. With it, he was always on guard and alert. He was not afraid of any sneak attacks at all.
He brandished his Phoenix Spear and swung it.
Bang!
The spear and tiger claw collided, producing dazzling sparks.
“Its strength is not bad either and is already one-tenth of mine. Impressive!” Lin Ye was slightly surprised. He exerted strength in his arm and sent the tiger flying.
“Again!”
He ordered.
Ding ding ding—
Soon, the two shadows were fighting each other, their speeds becoming faster and faster.
“Venomous Bite? It’s still a little weak but against ordinary Class 5 experts, it’s alright. It should be able to instantly bite through a Class 4 armor.”
As Lin Ye attacked, he collected information about the sabretooth tiger.
“There’s only one skill left. Let’s try it out.”
“Roar—”
The sabretooth tiger let out a roar, and the sound wave spread.
Tru and the others narrowed their eyes, fighting back.
Li Xiaofeng, who was slightly weaker, had just woken up from his sleep when he was jolted unconscious again.
Han Qingqing, Song Kuaidi, and the other human lords were also not feeling well. They all covered their ears.
At the same time, the sabretooth tiger raised its head.
Whoosh—
A large amount of golden energy gathered and formed a golden ball of energy. After about three seconds, it blasted towards Lin Ye.
“It’s here!”
Lin Ye was ready. The outermost layer protecting him was the Power of Nature Armor, which was also the armor which could negate magic damage.
Of course, it was only for attacks below that of Class 5.
For attacks that had the strength of a Class 6, it could reduce the attack’s prowess by 50%!
Beneath the Power of Nature Armor, there was still the Tycoon Bracers Barrier, King Armor and Battle Energy Armor!
Rumble!!!
