Most importantly of all, the brand-new spiritual puppet was jumbled by the units and components of almost ten different spiritual puppets. All the 'raw materials' spanned hundreds of years, and their design concepts and styles were entirely different. The compatibility was close to zero.
But right now, they had all been polished to the point that they were as smooth as jade and as smooth as silk. They were like the masterpieces that the master designers of spiritual puppets had carefully studied in a magical equipment factory for a year and a half. They did not seem to have been 'randomly jumbled' in only a few minutes at all.
A Boxing Champion and Xiahou Wuxin both had a profound understanding of magical equipment. Naturally, they knew that the regular maintenance and modification methods were not enough to deal with the changes in texture after the high-speed cutting of the magical equipment in only three minutes. Even the changes in internal stress caused by the rapid temperature rise could not be mitigated at all, much less a spiritual circuit that was as complicated as the veins and neural networks of a human body after only a few glances!
If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would have found it hard to imagine that such a terrifying monster could accomplish such a 'miracle' in only three minutes!
Xiahou Wuxin looked at Li Yao with more than confusion and admiration but also deep fear, which was even more fearful than when he saw Wei Xiaotian, the Immortal Cultivator.
A Boxing Champion's crystal cameras, however, spurted scorching sparks, and his database was burning crazily like a pot of burning oil.
"There is no furnace here to polish and refine the tiny components. Also, due to the lack of time, I did not have the time to study the features of the maintenance platform carefully. So, this is the best I can do. I'll build a brand-new body for you when I'm free next time."
Li Yao said sincerely. As a refiner, he would never make a 'brand-new' work unless it was absolutely necessary. Therefore, he truly felt sorry. "However, I have dismantled the computational chips inside the crystal processors of the spiritual puppets and redesigned a set of components that can increase the computational ability of your core crystal processor. It should be able to improve the computational ability of your core crystal processor, especially the judgment of trajectories and trajectories. Are you going to transfer your core crystal processor over, or should I do it?"
A Boxing Champion's crystal cameras flashed. "Please, Master Fiend Star."
The breastplate of the brand-new spiritual puppet slid to two sides without a sound. The shockproof and heat-insulating layer inside dispersed like petals, revealing an appropriate metal nest.
Li Yao waved the cold, hard mechanical arms, but his movements were as gentle as the hair of a young girl. He removed the core crystal processor that carried A Boxing Champion's database and logical thinking circuits from the old iron body and installed it into the metal nest carefully. It fit perfectly. Not even a hair could be inserted into it.
As the breastplate was closed again, ripples spread out slowly around the spiritual puppet that was sitting cross-legged in midair. Stepping on invisible stairs, it walked to the ground step by step. Looking at the opening and closing of the metal palms at the ends of its four arms, it exclaimed in great satisfaction.
Although the Fist King's body right now was even smaller than the smallest form he had displayed on the battlefield earlier, everybody, including Xiahou Wuxin, felt that the Fist King was even more condensed, tough, and strong than half a day ago!
"I've observed your combat pattern carefully."
Li Yao said casually, "Although the enormous iron fortress was claimed to be your 'strongest form', it was too big of a target, and your movements were too clumsy. Astronomical crystals would be consumed every second, and it was very easy for the enemy to crawl into your body and sabotage it. It was essentially a 'suicide fortress' that you risked everything on. It was not a real strong body.
"The 'third form' that you changed into, on the other hand, is small and agile. The consumption of crystals will be minimized, too. It is very suitable for the battle that we are going to fight next.
"So, do some warm-ups and see how the body is. It should be built according to your combat pattern and rhythm. But if there is anything that needs to be adjusted, tell me immediately. I don't want to let a work with obvious flaws run around outside."
Driving the brand-new body, A Boxing Champion made a few weird movements. He was almost like an earthworm that had tied itself into a knot.
Then, the knotted body suddenly bounced apart, and he punched out, leaving a series of blurred shadows in the air. The entire secret warehouse was shaking. Centered at the point where the fist landed, glittering electric arcs dashed out on the wall.
"This is … perfect!"
A Boxing Champion's voice, which was as cold as a machine, was mixed with the excitement of a human being. "Every joint and every bearing of this body seems to have been built for a certain string of data in my combat database. It is even more powerful than the iron body that I refined for myself!"
"Of course!"
Han Te and the Coloured Glaze raised their chins proudly. "Our 'Grandpa Yao' is the best!"
Li Yao smiled. "Consider it a reward for your frankness and your interesting stories."
While talking, he turned the dozens of crystal cameras in Xiahou Wuxin's direction. "Leader Xiahou, if you can tell me some interesting stories, too, or offer some interesting items in exchange, I can help you modify one or two more advanced crystal suits, which I guarantee to be much better than the one that Wei Xiaotian is equipped with. As a matter of fact, I am not very good at the upgrade and modification of spiritual puppets and artificial bodies. Crystal suits are my specialty."
Xiahou Wuxin's and Xin Xiaoqi's jaws almost hit their feet at the same time.
Such a marvelous modification technology of spiritual puppets was called 'not very good at'?
Then, how strong was the modification of the Crystal Suit that was his so-called 'specialty'?
As if he had swallowed a caltrop, Xiahou Wuxin's throat was rolling hard. Thinking for a moment, he said, "I wonder, what kind of stories do you want to hear, Senior Fiend Star? If it is about the intelligence of 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky', I will certainly tell you everything I know. Other than that, if it is about refining, please take a look at these."
He slid a complicated symbol on the metal wall on one side of the warehouse. The wall immediately turned from as smooth as a mirror into as soft as gel. Then, the silver 'gel' faded away, revealing a smaller warehouse that was piled up as high as a hill. The remnants of magical equipment and incomplete tools were all piled up inside.
"I found the remnants of the magical equipment when I was exploring the underground world. They are all relics of the Martial Meritocrats civilization before 'Judgment Day'," Xiahou Wuxin explained. "However, their structure is too complicated, and they are too seriously damaged. I don't even know how to read or use them, much less dismantle and maintain them.
Xiahou Wuxin explained, "Senior, if you're interested, you might be able to find some treasures inside."
Li Yao thought of something. His soul darted into the remnants of the magical equipment through thousands of spiritual threads.
Just like Xiahou Wuxin said, the magical equipment was indeed multiple levels higher in precision and complexity than all the magical equipment in the secret warehouse.
It was exactly because of that that they had suffered even more damage from the war and the corrosion of time. They had almost turned into garbage.
Not just the sinners such as Xiahou Wuxin, even the experts of refining among the Immortal Cultivators might not be able to repair them.
But for Li Yao …
"Wait. What's this?"
Ripples of excitement spread out of Li Yao's soul. His spiritual threads flowed into a piece of magical equipment that was enshrouded in a rusted shell, groping it from inside to outside.
It was an extremely advanced flaw detector.
Its mechanism was to release a special mystic ray with a high penetrating ability and shoot it into the depths of metals or materials to search for the gaps that were invisible to the naked eye.
Because its level was rather high, the flaw detector boasted the function of 'high-molecular layer-by-layer scanning'. Even the internal damage at the molecular level could be detected clearly.
"Although there is no 'high-molecular layer-by-layer scanning maintenance magical equipment' here, this flaw detector boasts a similar function. If I can repair it and combine it with magical equipment such as the 'micro-sculptor of mystic rays', won't it achieve the same effect?
"Of course, the maintenance magical equipment that is jumbled up in such a way will be enormous in size, but does it really matter? I have already retrieved a Cosmos Ring of paramount importance from Wei Xiaotian's broken arm!"
Li Yao was immediately excited.
Sensing Li Yao's soul waves, Xiahou Wuxin asked carefully, "If I may ask, senior, are you from 'Starlight'?"
Li Yao was slightly dazed. Then, he was even more overjoyed. "What did you say? Do you know what 'Starlight' is? And why do you think that I am from 'Starlight'? "
Xiahou Wuxin did not expect that Li Yao would be so excited. He hesitated for a moment, not knowing how he should answer.
"I am not from Starlight."
Li Yao realized that he was too excited, too. Pondering for a moment, he said, "However, I am indeed very interested in Starlight. Tell me everything you know about Starlight, even if it is a groundless legend."
"It is true that there are only groundless legends about Starlight," Xiahou Wuxin said with a bitter smile.
Xiahou Wuxin smiled bitterly. "According to the legends, they are the people who escaped from the planet before 'Judgment Day'."
"What?"
Han Te and the Coloured Glaze both grew excited. "Somebody escaped from the planet before!"
"According to the legends, yes."
Xiahou Wuxin hesitated for a moment and said, "The truth of the so-called 'Judgment Day' was not a civil war in which the Martial Meritocrats Sector perished together as we always thought. In fact, it was probably a destructive strike launched by the angels, or the Immortal Cultivators, on the Martial Meritocrats Sector."
"Huh?"
It was the first time that Xin Xiaoqi had heard such a theory. She could not help but exclaim in shock.
