In the snow-covered silver-white mountain forest, the cold northern wind whistled recklessly. Everything was bright under the light of the giant star.
The projection screen in the cockpit was also blindingly white. Cheng Qingyun had to lower the brightness of the screen. The world of ice and snow looked beautiful, but it was monotonous.
Cheng Qingyun, Bai Tiejun, and Gao Zhengyang's team had been out for two hours, but they had only killed two white tiger-like star beasts.
However, these star beasts were very ugly. There were special scales on the surface of their bodies, and they could even glide in the air for a short period of time.
Bai Tiejun had seen this star beast in the Iron Armor Military Academy's database. Its official name was the Snowscale Tiger. These star beasts were violent and aggressive. Usually, they hunted in pairs.
The pair of Snowscale Tigers provided two star cores. They were only the size of a three-year-old's fist, and the star power they contained was mixed. According to the Alliance's ranking, it was one star bronze.
The energy furnace inside the star armor could use the star cores as energy source. However, the star power of the star cores was not pure, so this crude method would leave behind a lot of residue. About half of the star power contained in the star cores would be wasted.
These star beasts looked ferocious, but they were a far cry from the star armor. With their claws and teeth, even if the star armor did not move, they would not be able to destroy it.
Killing the pair of Snowscale Tigers was easy, but getting the star cores was more troublesome. Star cores were usually hidden deep in the organs of star beasts. If an inexperienced star master wanted to find the star cores, the scene would be very bloody and ugly.
Bai Tiejun, on the other hand, had a lot of hunting experience. He wanted to take the star core, but Gao Zhengyang used his dagger to cut the star core out. The ease with which he did it made Bai Tiejun embarrassed to do it again.
Although he was used to looking for star cores on star beast corpses, he still had to cut open their stomachs and make a mess. Compared to Gao Zhengyang, the difference was too big.
However, this pair of coarse star cores was their only gain in the past two hours. According to the assessment rules, these two star cores could barely be exchanged for two points.
At this rate, they would not be able to get a good ranking.
Cheng Qingyun was a little anxious about this. She was not obsessed with the school team. However, this was a battle of reputation. She had to prove herself. Especially Gao Zhengyang, who was being doubted, he had to prove himself and shut up the other haters.
The White Armored Army and Gao Zhengyang, on the other hand, were very calm. They continued to advance at a steady pace and did not mess up their rhythm.
Cheng Qingyun felt that this wouldn't do. She said in the private channel, "Our efficiency is too low. Let's split into three groups and each search an area."
"Sure. Keep a distance from each other and don't exceed the communication range."
The White Iron Army also felt that it was better to split up as it would increase their efficiency. If they discovered something, the other two could quickly provide support.
"Okay, I'll go south." Gao Zhengyang divided the map into three areas, and he chose the area in the south.
This area was mostly filled with canyons and jungles, so the terrain was relatively more complicated.
Bai Tiejun and Cheng Qingyun did not argue. They both knew that Gao Zhengyang's combat skills were powerful, so they were very confident in him. The three of them went in three different directions.
It didn't take long for Bai Tiejun and Cheng Qingyun's star armors to disappear. Only the green dots on the scanning light screen showed their positions.
Gao Zhengyang flew lightly in the forest. The five-meter-tall giant star armor was like a shadow.
Activating the anti-gravity device could counteract the gravity of the planet. The direction, angle, and rhythm of movement were the key to making Gao Zhengyang move like a ghost.
According to the Star Masters, this was the highest level of star armor control: the person and the armor as one.
With this alone, Gao Zhengyang had actually left the other Bronze Star Masters far behind. Even most Silver Star Masters could not reach this level.
Of course, the higher the level of the star armor, the more complicated it was to control. The difference between the Bronze level and the Silver Star Master's One with the Armor was too big.
Gao Zhengyang had been practicing martial arts all his life and paid the most attention to the control of his body. When he came to this universe, he was only a projection of his consciousness. He did not bring any power.
The only thing that was powerful was the memory in his mind and his perseverance.
From the moment he came into contact with the star armor, Gao Zhengyang started to analyze the star armor from the nature of the star power. Just like that, from top to bottom, from inside to outside, he mastered the structure of several basic star armors.
This kind of precise control of the star armor allowed him to use his shooting skills to the fullest. Only then could he use the smallest flaw to defeat the opponent in battle.
When he was with Bai Tiejun and Cheng Qingyun, the three of them could protect each other. But he had to be careful when entering this complicated area alone.
The swift movement allowed Gao Zhengyang to avoid danger to the greatest extent. At the same time, it also reduced the consumption of the star armor.
The cold environment was actually a test for the star armor. The Longbow I that Gao Zhengyang was piloting was in the best condition after being adjusted and maintained. Gao Zhengyang piloted it without any sluggishness.
The smoothness and roundness made it seem like he was skating on invisible ice blades.
No matter how good Gao Zhengyang was at piloting the star armor, he had to be cautious in an unfamiliar environment. Moreover, he did not know where the powerful star beasts were.
In terms of searching for star beasts, Gao Zhengyang did not have enough theoretical knowledge. After all, a person's energy was limited. Even if he had an eidetic memory, Gao Zhengyang could not take care of everything.
But on the way to Planet Iron Armor, Gao Zhengyang crammed all kinds of hunting knowledge. He especially paid attention to the ecological environment of Iron Armor.
Gao Zhengyang felt that his theoretical knowledge was enough to beat all the candidates. But he needed some time to turn theory into practice.
After wandering in the area for half an hour, Gao Zhengyang followed the hunting theory and found a place that seemed to be the most suitable for animals to live.
There was not much food for animals in the snow-covered forest. There were several kinds of special cold-resistant plants on Iron Armor. Their roots were very nutritious and were the main food for many animals.
Gao Zhengyang scanned the area and soon found a group of white antelopes. Then, Gao Zhengyang saw a group of white short-tailed wolves.
The short-tailed wolves were about three meters long, but their bodies were withered and their fur was an unhealthy gray. Only their green eyes and interlaced canine teeth gave them a hint of ferocity.
"Eleven …"
Gao Zhengyang checked. There were big and small wolves, male and female. He didn't know if they were a big family or a joint team.
From the star power scanner, the short-tailed wolves all had star power reactions. But the biological star power reaction was converged inward. It could only be scanned at close range. It was difficult to detect the abnormal star power reaction from more than a hundred meters away.
Star armors were designed in the same way. Star power circulated inside and most of the star power would be absorbed by the outer star armor. It was difficult for the star power scanner to locate the star armor from a long distance.
It was because of this technology that melee Star Armors had an important position. Otherwise, everyone knew that it was safer to keep a distance.
Gao Zhengyang circled around the wolves and surrounded them from the back. When they were about a kilometer away from Gao Zhengyang, the leader of the wolves turned around and looked in Gao Zhengyang's direction.
Star beasts had terrifying instincts. Although Gao Zhengyang moved silently like a ghost, he was still discovered by the wolf. Although the Longbow Model I was considered to be petite in size, its five meter tall wide body made it very difficult to completely conceal itself.
Without hesitation, Gao Zhengyang drew his bow and released an arrow. The wolf was about to howl and warn him when a blue light shot through its head.
The huge kinetic energy of the arrow blew the wolf's head into pieces. Gao Zhengyang shot another five arrows in a row and killed five giant wolves.
The other short-tailed wolves sensed something was wrong and quickly scattered.
Gao Zhengyang's vision was limited by the rocks and trees. He killed three more in a row, but two of the most cunning wolves ran into a hole.
Without vision, Gao Zhengyang couldn't do anything to them no matter how good he was at archery. Of course, he couldn't let the two wolves escape, so he chased after them on his Star Armor.
Following the blurry scan of the Star Power Scanner, Gao Zhengyang shuttled through the forest for half an hour before he killed the two wolves.
After he took the star cores of the two wolves, he turned around and found three Star Armors digging the star cores of the short-tailed wolves.
The three Star Masters didn't have much experience. They completely opened the wolves' stomachs and scattered their internal organs on the ground. They looked very embarrassed.
Gao Zhengyang flew over and said to the Star Masters through the loudspeaker, "Did your teacher or your parents teach you to take other people's prey so casually?"
If it weren't for Gao Zhengyang's sudden voice, the three Star Masters wouldn't have known that someone had come. Hearing the voice, they were all startled. When they looked at the holographic screen again, they found Gao Zhengyang above their heads.
A Battle Tiger Star Armor stood up and gestured to Gao Zhengyang with his bloody thumb, "You said you killed them. Who saw it? Besides, the Star Beast kills belong to whoever gets it! These are the rules of the exam. "
Gao Zhengyang was a little impressed by the other party's shamelessness. To be able to say such shameless words so confidently and confidently, this was truly a skill.
He said coldly, "You stole the spoils of war. Don't you have any shame?"
"Your spoils of war? You called it, did it answer? "
The Star Master riding the Battle Tiger didn't care. "I said we killed them."
The other Star Master riding the Longbow Star Armor also stood up. "Don't talk nonsense. Get lost."
The other party's rude and rude words made people angry.
If the White Iron Army was here, they might have lost control. Gao Zhengyang was also a bit angry. After all, he was affected by the instinctive emotions of this body.
However, even though he was angry, Gao Zhengyang could still keep calm. The students who came to participate in the exam were the elites among the millions of students. Of course, there were rude and rude people among them, but it was very abnormal for both of them to be like this.
The other Flying Tiger Star Armor also stood up. His hand even grasped the long saber under his ribs, ready to attack.
Gao Zhengyang's combat experience was too rich. He could tell at a glance that the other party wasn't bluffing. They had activated the power furnace and were accumulating power.
"These people want to kill me?"
Gao Zhengyang immediately realized something was wrong. No matter how arrogant the students were, no matter how much they disliked him, they wouldn't be so determined to kill him.
Killing a fellow student was a huge crime. Even if they weren't sentenced to death, their lives would be over.
Although the Iron Armor Star didn't have surveillance satellites or the ubiquitous Star Net. But there were only a few people here. As long as the records of the individual Star Armor were retrieved, it was easy to infer who the murderer was.
Gao Zhengyang looked at the badges on the chests of the three Star Armors. Well, they all had the Pegasus symbol. The Pegasus was also surrounded by 18 stars.
This symbol represented the 18 important galaxies of the Pegasus Galaxy.
On the left shoulder of the three Star Armors, there was a small red Pegasus symbol. This symbol meant that the combat assessment was temporarily engraved with a laser.
However, the red Pegasus symbol didn't have that kind of three-dimensional feel. It looked like it was sprayed on temporarily. This detail was immediately noticed by Gao Zhengyang.
"Not a classmate of Pegasus University …"
Gao Zhengyang felt that something was wrong. These three Star Armors were obviously not his classmates. Plus, they had ulterior motives.
If it were someone else, they would definitely hesitate and not know how to deal with it.
But Gao Zhengyang didn't hesitate. He activated the Star Armor and rushed forward. Pushed by the anti-gravity device, a white gas cloud exploded behind Gao Zhengyang.
The three Star Armor Masters below were a little surprised. They had wanted to trick Gao Zhengyang into coming down. By then, the three of them could easily capture Gao Zhengyang.
They didn't expect Gao Zhengyang to react so quickly. He didn't hesitate and ran away at full speed.
The difference in their judgment of the situation gave Gao Zhengyang about a second to make up his mind. This second was enough for Gao Zhengyang to fly 400 meters away.
The Star Master with the Longbow Model 1 reacted and immediately shot four arrows. Like four lightning bolts, they pierced through the air.
Before the lightning bolts landed, Gao Zhengyang's Star Armor made an S-shape in the air. The four lightning bolts brushed past the Star Armor. The Star Armor was unharmed.
The Star Master with the Longbow Model 1 was stunned. He was a Silver Star Master. His archery skills were extremely good. It was easy for him to shoot a Bronze Star Master.
He didn't expect his opponent to be able to predict his movements and dodge his rapid fire perfectly.
After hesitating for a moment, the Star Master with the Longbow Model 1 flew into the air and chased after Gao Zhengyang.
The Flying Tiger Star Armor flapped its wings and sped up. The Flying Tiger Star Armor was known for its speed and explosive power. It was twice as fast as the Longbow Model 1 in a short distance.
Although Gao Zhengyang had a fast start, the Flying Tiger Star Armor would catch up with him in a minute.
The Longbow Model 1 followed closely behind. It was more difficult to hit the target while moving. However, every time he started, he could force Gao Zhengyang to change direction.
Gao Zhengyang flew in the air for 20 seconds and knew something was wrong. If this continued, the opponent would get close to him.
Whether it was the Longbow Model 1 or the Flying Tiger Star Armor, they were experienced and skillful. In terms of fighting ability, the two Star Masters were far better than the White Iron Army.
Gao Zhengyang didn't know where the opponent came from, but since they attacked the moment they arrived, they should be enemies. Maybe they were soldiers from the Qin Empire. Or maybe they were enemies from the Alliance.
There was too little information. Gao Zhengyang couldn't determine the opponent's identity. But no matter who the opponent was, they attacked first. Gao Zhengyang didn't have to be polite.
Gao Zhengyang saw a tall pine forest. He landed in the middle of the forest in a strange way.
His speed was so fast that he couldn't avoid smashing many branches and leaves. The pine needles and snow scattered everywhere in the air. This greatly obstructed the vision of the two Star Masters behind.
The Star Master in the Flying Tiger Star Armor didn't stop. He flew directly above the place where Gao Zhengyang landed. He wanted to prevent Gao Zhengyang from escaping from the forest. He wanted to fly to the front and block Gao Zhengyang's path.
The other Star Master, who was controlling the longbow Star Armor, slowed down.
The pine trees in the forest were more than 10 meters tall. The umbrella-like treetops were covered with snow. They were like big white umbrellas, covering the ground tightly.
However, no matter how careful the Star Armor was, it would still leave some traces.
The Star Master in the Longbow Model 1 didn't notice any movement. He guessed that Gao Zhengyang was hiding somewhere and didn't move. He sneered to himself. They had activated dozens of powerful jammers here. Short-range communication was blocked.
No matter how well the opponent hid in the forest, he would still die.
The Longbow Model 1 was about to descend. Suddenly, blue lightning flashed. He was already prepared. As a long-range Star Master, how could he not prepare for the opponent's counterattack?
His silver level spiritual power made his reaction far faster than the bronze level. He faced the blue lightning and turned slightly. As he dodged the arrow, he drew his bow again and shot back.
Three consecutive shots. Three arrows pierced through the pine forest and broke several huge pine trees in a row.
The kinetic energy of the arrows was too terrifying. The solid and fine pine trees were no different from air bubbles under the arrows. As long as the arrows hit the pine trees, they would immediately explode.
However, the silver Star Master regretted that his three consecutive shots didn't hit the target. Because there were many obstacles in between, he didn't know how the opponent dodged them.
According to his judgment, the opponent shouldn't have made a large range of movement. However, as long as the opponent drew his bow, there was nowhere to run! If he didn't draw his bow, he would die.
While the Longbow Model 1 was thinking, another arrow was shot from the forest below. He moved like a snake, dodged the arrow and shot back again. This time, he shot four consecutive arrows, not giving the opponent any chance.
After the four arrows left his hand, the Longbow Model 2 skillfully pulled out the four arrows. Suddenly, a blue lightning appeared in front of him.
The blue lightning accurately predicted his movement route, leaving him nowhere to hide. The Longbow Model 2 was shocked. The Star Armor was agile, but it was too slow compared to the arrows.
Moreover, he was in the middle of moving. It was too late to change direction or dodge. It could only be said that the opponent had grasped the opening in his rhythm very well.
The Longbow Model 2 had no choice but to move sideways and use the longbow in his hand to block. The blue lightning hit the bow and exploded into a ball of blue light. The bow immediately twisted and broke.
At this time, the second arrow arrived. The Longbow Model 2 dodged again, but the arrow still hit his shoulder, causing him to lose his balance.
The third lightning flashed and fell, penetrating the Star Armor's cockpit. The fourth and fifth lightning fell one after another, smashing the Longbow Model 2's cockpit into pieces.
Countless broken parts and a smear of blood spurted out from the cockpit.
The Flying Tiger Star Armor, which was flying in front, saw this scene from afar. The Flying Tiger Star Master was shocked and angry. Without hesitation, he activated his wings and pounced forward.
As long as he could close the distance, with his advantage as a Silver Star Master, he could finish off the opponent in one move.
However, Gao Zhengyang had already risen into the air. He continuously drew his bow and shot arrows. The Flying Tiger Star Master finally realized something was wrong after blocking five consecutive arrows. However, it was too late for regrets. He clenched his teeth and pounced on Gao Zhengyang.
The Flying Tiger Star Master changed his direction in a strange way and was extremely fast. However, he was still shot into a ball of flames a hundred meters in front of Gao Zhengyang.
