Before his voice faded away, the young military officer's eyes suddenly shone like a supernova.
His military uniform instantly swelled up and released wisps of black flames that shone with golden light.
Thousands of wisps of black flames gathered behind him and gradually turned into a black fighting fortress. Then, it grew limbs and turned into a black steel giant!
"Twenty years ago, a tactical squad from the Red Dragon Army received orders to defend a fortress, but unfortunately, their retreat was cut off by the fog. They were surrounded by a monster horde, and they were in a desperate situation where they had no reinforcements," the young military officer said.
"In the face of the beasts that filled the sky and earth, the commander and the nine soldiers did not waver. They faced death with equanimity and forced back wave after wave of monster hordes. They persevered for three days and three nights, and the last soldier held a bundle of hand grenades and died together with the monsters!
"Their bodies might have died, but their spirits would forever remain in the world, and their determination to defend the fortress with their lives seeped deeply into the land that was drenched in their blood.
"After more than ten years of refinement, the final determination of the ten soldiers gathered together and turned into this heroic spirit known as the Black Iron Guardian.
"I, Captain Chen Tai of the Red Dragon Army, was fortunate enough to be acknowledged by the heroic spirit and resonate with the martyrs' determination. I became the heroic spirit user of the Black Iron Guardian, and I swear that I will inherit the martyrs' dying will. With my flesh and blood, I will turn the martyrs' determination into the sharpest saber, and I will follow the martyrs' path to continue defending our home forever.
"The martyrs were able to defend the fortress for three days and three nights even when they were surrounded by the monster horde. That's why the Black Iron Guardian's power is indestructible!"
The young military officer shouted. The heroic spirit turned into black fog and enveloped him.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Someone fired at him, but the dense wave of bullets was blocked by the heroic spirit.
In fact, someone fired at him with a rocket launcher. The examinees were dumbfounded when they saw that even the rocket launcher was blocked by the heroic spirit. It froze in the air in a bizarre fashion.
"Heroic spirit enter my body!"
The young military officer growled and sucked in all the black fog. His body grew, and his skin instantly turned black and shiny like metal. He looked like an awe-inspiring black iron tower.
He turned around and punched the frozen rocket launcher in the air.
Boom!
The rocket launcher exploded, but he was unharmed.
"Spirit Weapon Fusion!"
He roared again and raised a warhammer made of nano metal, liquid alloy, monster materials, and Other World crystals.
Golden patterns and black flames flew out of his body and into the war hammer along his arm. The war hammer changed its shape in an incredible way. It became even larger, and there were bumps and spikes all over it.
No matter how one looked at it, this huge object that seemed to weigh several tons was not something that a human could wield.
But behind the young officer, the figure of a heroic spirit appeared again. With the enhancement of the Black Iron Guardian, he swung his warhammer into a hurricane and struck with all his strength. A ruined tank was flung more than a hundred meters away!
The examinees were overwhelmed with emotions as they watched.
"Is that the heroic spirit user, one of the four great fighting occupations in Dragon City?"
"Too wild, too powerful!"
"The heroic spirit that resonated with this captain is just the heroic spirit of a tactical squad, and it's already so terrifying. You must know that after many peerless fighters die, they leave behind their will and obsession. The stronger their minds are, the more likely they are to form powerful heroic spirits. If anyone can resonate with these heroic spirits, wouldn't that make them invincible?"
"It's no wonder why the marks in the military school's heroic spirit course are so high. I'm going all out! I'm definitely going to get into the heroic spirit course!"
Chu Feixiong was so excited that he grabbed Meng Chao's neck. "That's it! Heroic spirit user! My dream!"
Meng Chao used a lot of strength to slap away Chuxiong's claws. He rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't you want to be a general? Why did you change your mind and want to become a heroic spirit user?"
"Duh. Don't you know how my brain works? When I run into data calculations and tactical analysis, I get a headache. You want me to get into the command course and slowly climb up from a basic officer to a general? That'll take forever! "
Chu Feixiong rubbed his palms together. "But the heroic spirit course is different. If I can resonate with the old generals who sacrificed themselves and become their heroic spirit user, wouldn't I be able to instantly obtain their abilities and become a mighty general?"
"Um …"
When he saw his best friend's fantasizing face, Meng Chao could not help but pour cold water on him. "But I heard that it's very difficult to become a heroic spirit user. Intelligence, strength, personality, and moral standing have to be in place in all aspects before you can resonate with the heroic spirits. Are you sure that the generals who died will resonate with you?"
"You have to have dreams."
Chu Feixiong was full of confidence. "My intelligence might be a little lacking, but my moral standing is good!"
"…"
Meng Chao found himself speechless. He continued watching the screen.
At that moment, the screen had already switched to the wild.
Amidst the lofty mountains and precipitous ridges stood a gigantic machine.
At first glance, it looked like the amalgamation of the largest trucks and mining vehicles found in the mines on Earth.
But there was a huge scoop in front of it, and there were dozens of turrets around it. The carriage at the back was also completely sealed.
Four huge mechanical arms were equipped with impact hammers, drills, steel claws, and quick-drying cement nozzles, making it look like an awe-inspiring steel demon.
A calm mechanical voice came from the heavily armored control cabin. "Many people's understanding of machine masters is that they wear all sorts of strange-looking strengthened exoskeletons and even drive flashy but useless' mechas' to fight against monsters.
"But strengthened exoskeletons are just equipment for individual soldiers. Their efficiency in killing groups isn't high, and humanoid mechas that are more than five meters tall are just a waste of resources. There are a lot of difficulties when it comes to technology, so it doesn't have a lot of practical value.
"These two things aren't enough to bring out a machine master's true strength.
"A real machine master should drive a huge multifunctional building and fighting base. They should build bridges and roads to turn natural moats into open roads. At the same time, they should build a lot of fighting fortresses.
"On the other side, we have a polymer printing system and an automated maintenance system in our carriage. We also have a lot of armed drones and intelligent fighting vehicles. If we run into enemies, one machine master is equivalent to an army!"
As it spoke, the carriage of the huge machine on the screen suddenly opened.
Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz!
Hundreds of drones flew out. They gathered together and scattered in the air like a swarm of bees.
Chack, chack, chack, chack!
Hundreds of six-legged machines that looked like metal spiders crawled out. They surrounded the fighting machines and formed a tight defense circle.
With the protection of the sky and the ground, the machine masters could hide inside and calmly build their fighting fortresses.
Once the fortresses were built and the soldiers stationed at the back were fortified, even if there were one hundred times the number of monsters, it would be difficult for them to take down the developing land.
The developing lands were connected to each other. Defense towers and signal towers stood tall. This was how humans expanded their living space in a clumsy but determined manner.
Hence, machine masters were able to become one of the four great fighting occupations.
Meng Chao watched carefully.
He knew that in the past, due to the fog and the strong spirit energy magnetic field interference, the network signal around Dragon City was not good. They relied heavily on signal transmission to attack in a swarm of armed drones, so it was very difficult for them to do so.
Without the armed drones, machine masters' fighting strength was mostly gone. When they worked in the wild, they had to rely on other fighting occupations.
But as the fog faded away, Earthlings developed all sorts of anti-interference information transmission technology. The machine armor style fighting style, which consisted of armed drones, thinking fighting vehicles, and strengthened exoskeletons, continued increasing the status of machine masters.
In an environment with enough resources and stable signals, a well-trained machine master who could control more than one thousand drones and thinking vehicles at the same time was practically invincible.
Quite a number of examinees who were interested in machines cried out in surprise in the carriage. Their faces lit up, as if they had already gotten into the machine course of a technical university and had become glorious machine masters.
Then, the screen flashed again.
This time, it was also an insect horde that filled the air in the wild.
All sorts of deformed and mutated insects squirmed about in a dense wave.
But in the depths of the insect horde was an empty space with a diameter of around five meters.
At the center of the empty space was a girl with an indifferent expression.
The monstrous and ugly insects formed a stark contrast with the girl's fair skin. The people who saw them were terrified, and they were worried that she would be torn to shreds by the insect horde the next second.
However, the insects looked as if they were under a spell. All of them were rooted to the spot and even trembled slightly. It was as if they were … worshiping the girl.
The girl suddenly opened her eyes.
Purple light shone in her eyes, and spirit tattoos spread out from the corners of her eyes to her temples. Then, they erupted and turned into thousands of thin electric arcs that shot toward the insect horde.
The girl stood up and walked forward gracefully.
The insect horde immediately split up and opened up a path for her. Then, they gathered behind her and formed all sorts of formations based on her will. They looked like an army loyal to her.
Facing the camera, the girl with the purple light shining in her eyes said coolly, "I am the insect horde!"
"How cool! It's a scene from an ancient game on Earth, but now, it has become reality!"
The examinees in the carriage were silent for a while. The examinees gasped in amazement. "This is Agricultural University's monster controller course, right? The monster controllers are also very powerful. They can use the monster hordes that fill the air, and they're even more agile than the machine masters' steel army. Their requirements for resources are also lower, and they're more suited to the dangerous battlefield in the fog. "
A thought appeared in Meng Chao's mind.
Agricultural University, which was known as Monster University, was also one of his targets.
Agricultural University had two ace courses. One of them was the resource course, and the other was the monster controller course.
The resource course was for support, while the monster controller course was for fighting. Nowadays, fighting was more popular, so the minimum requirement for the monster controller course was usually higher.
'Should I use my deep understanding of monster structures to change my occupation to become a monster controller?'
But when he thought about it carefully, he decided against it.
After all, monster controllers had to use their mental power to invade the monster's brain.
But mental connections were two-way. When a monster controller controlled a monster, some of the nerve clusters in their brain would be open, and it would be easy for their enemies to invade them.
It was one thing for other people to be invaded, but he had a lot of secrets in his head, so it was better for him to be careful.
Heroic spirit users, machine masters, and monster controllers were the three great fighting occupations in the field of superhumans.
The final highlight was naturally the "martial artists", which were introduced by Dragon City University's martial arts course.
But there was nothing much to say about it, because the examinees were very familiar with it.
First, they had to train their physical body and mental strength index to the point that they were as tough as steel.
Then, they had to guide their spirit energy into their bodies and activate the one hundred and eight main spirit meridians.
Their spirit energy flowed through the one hundred and eight main meridians and the intersecting spirit acupoints. They were like electrical circuits that formed a complicated spirit map in their bodies.
Each spirit map could activate a different spirit magnetic field rotation energy and release the potential in their genes. They could even guide the spirit energy in the world to execute powerful ultimate moves.
