Within the Tarantula's body, a large amount of lubricant and crystal stabilizer shot out like blood splattering everywhere. ¤
Its eight legs were frantically waving, but it simply couldn't reach its back.
It simply ran wildly, violently bumping, and even fiercely hitting rocks and giant trees in a futile attempt to shake off the Wolf King.
But since the Wolf King had already jumped to the back of the Tarantula, how could it let it succeed so easily?
Four vibration claws firmly grasped the gaps between the Tarantula's carapace, like locusts attached to a human body. No matter how the prey struggled, it remained motionless. It also tore apart the carapace piece by piece, constantly enlarging the wound.
"The outcome has been decided!"
All the examinees loosened their tightly clenched hands, their palms cold.
The moment the Wolf King jumped on the back of the Tarantula, it meant that this wonderful battle had come to an end.
Eight-legged warbeasts were most afraid of attacks from above. Because of the structural limitations, turning over was a complete disaster for them!
"Three minutes and fifty-seven seconds."
Zhu Yueqin coldly glanced at the time and lightly said to the other two examiners.
"Shaoyang, you won!"
The examinees of Deep Sea University were jubilant as they congratulated Jiang Shaoyang.
Jiang Shaoyang slightly wrinkled his brows, his face revealing a faint sense of loss.
Such a victory was purely a tactical victory, relying on the thousands of tactical options stored in the Wolf King's crystal processor.
As for the Tarantula, as a brand new modified warbeast, Li Yao certainly set very few tactics for it.
In the face of an unexpected situation, it was at a loss and had no way to deal with it.
"This is an unfair victory."
"Such a victory is not what I want!"
Jiang Shaoyang's heart was full of regret. He sighed and secretly said. "I really hope that Li Yao can be given a few more days to collect a large number of spider warbeasts' tactics. After a little modification, he can import them into the Tarantula's crystal processor, which will certainly greatly improve the strength of the Tarantula."
"Perhaps at that time, we will be able to fight to our heart's content!"
He couldn't help but glance at Li Yao.
But he found that in the midst of countless sighs. Li Yao's arms were crossed, his face was expressionless, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised and his expression was very relaxed.
Such an attitude caused Jiang Shaoyang to have an ominous premonition.
Looking at the battlefield again, the Wolf King had completely torn apart the armor on the back of the Tarantula along the direction of the crystal railgun, revealing a shocking wound.
All kinds of array glyphs and components were exposed to the wolf king's fangs!
"Roar!"
The Wolf King opened its bloody mouth, and an orange-red fireball rapidly expanded in the depths of its throat. The sound of the raging flame spirit energy was extremely similar to the roar of a demon beast.
This was the final strike!
Everyone was waiting with bated breath for Wolf Spider to be torn apart!
Right at this moment …
With a clang, the Tarantula's round abdomen could no longer support itself and fell to the ground. It was as if the high intensity of the battle had exceeded the limits of metal fatigue!
"Isn't the quality too poor?"
All the examinees were extremely astonished.
Although it was a modified beast that was put together at the last minute. The quality was definitely not as stable as the original goods, but in battle. To think that an important component would fall off on its own …
It fell off by itself!
Many quick-witted examinees cried out in surprise.
They suddenly smelled the scent of a conspiracy.
The three examiners also opened their eyes wide. They could all see that this was not an accident, but rather, the Tarantula's abdomen had automatically bounced off. Just like how the Wolf King had bounced off the crystal railgun.
On the battlefield, this kind of voluntary separation could only mean one thing — the beast was about to start a new battle mode!
"Not good!"
Jiang Shaoyang's face was deathly pale. His hands were trembling uncontrollably, and his Adam's apple was rolling up and down. He wanted to shout at the Wolf King at the top of his lungs:
"Jump down! Quickly jump down! "
It was too late.
All of the Wolf King's spiritual energy. It was all gushing towards the flame array glyphs in the depths of its throat, transforming into a hot stream of flame.
It was the time when its vigilance and defense were the weakest.
From the back of the Tarantula's chest and abdomen, a weapon similar to a scorpion's tail suddenly pierced out from the hole that was originally connected to the abdomen. It nimbly swayed in the air and fiercely pierced into the Wolf King's buttocks, deeply embedded.
The back was always the most vulnerable part of the beast.
The scorpion's tail was shining with an orange glow. The spiritual energy was like a tide that was constantly surging forward, forming a violent stream of flame inside the Wolf King's body, burning all of its internal organs. Finally, it burned through the Wolf King's two crystal cameras, causing the pitch-black eye sockets to spew out jumping flames.
"Bang!"
The scorpion's tail directly swung the Wolf King up and heavily smashed it on a boulder, causing a deafening explosion.
It was like a thousand-pound hammer that ruthlessly bombarded everyone's heart.
"This, this is —"
The Tarantula instantly turned from a prey to a hunter. It waved its eight sharp legs and pounced on the remains of the Wolf King, unleashing a bloody massacre. The components and crystals were flying all over the sky, and the Wolf King was smashed into pieces.
Everyone was dumbfounded and at a loss of what to do.
Such strength, such flexibility, just what kind of material was used to make it?
How was it possible for Li Yao to build such a ferocious weapon with the common materials in the maintenance workshop within ten hours?
"This is not a new weapon that I have refined out of thin air."
Facing everyone's bewildered eyes, Li Yao explained, "This is a modification I made from the spine of the Mystic Wolf."
"The structure I have redesigned is to imitate the form of a spider-type demon beast. There is no need to use the spine, so I simply transformed it into a tail to strengthen the protection of the upper part of the body in close combat."
"In addition, because the Tarantula does not have a prominent head, I transferred the flame array glyphs that were originally installed in the throat of the Mystic Wolf to the end of the tail.
"Once it pierces into the enemy's body, it will launch an attack from the inside, directly burning the internal organs. It will be more fatal than burning from the outside."
His explanation left everyone speechless.
The Deep Sea University's side had also sunk into a deathly silence.
The examinees, who were still in high spirits just a moment ago, were now like roosters that had been drained of their blood and plucked of their feathers. They no longer had the slightest bit of brilliance.
Only the sound amplification array glyphs were still emitting strange sounds that made one's scalp tingle.
"Kacha Kacha. Hiss Hiss Hiss. "
This was the sound of the Tarantula eating.
…
At night, in the military guest house.
After more than twenty hours of continuous fatigue bombardment, all the examinees were exhausted and their souls were greatly consumed.
In addition, the examination results and their identity information had to be uploaded to the association for certification before they could be issued with certificates and badges.
Therefore. The examinees would rest here for the night and return to their respective cities and towns after they had officially obtained the Registered Refiner badges tomorrow morning.
At that time, they would be respected by all and would become registered refiners with boundless prospects!
"Huff —"
On the army green bed, Li Yao was lying on his back with his limbs spread out.
A day and a night of examination had indeed made him feel as if he had been burned out. His body was extremely tired.
However, his brain felt as if it was being pricked by needles. It was not pain. It was excitement.
"I did it!"
"Dad, I did it. I have become a Registered Refiner!"
"This is just the first step. Next, I will complete Project Mystic Skeleton with my mentor and refine the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit that can be mass-produced. After that, I will refine even more powerful magical equipment and Crystal Suit. Step by step, I will march towards the peak of the strongest Refiner. I will defeat Deep Sea University and explore the endless mysteries of the vast sea of stars! "
He was imagining a wonderful future. There was a soft knock on the door from outside.
When he opened the door, it was Jiang Shaoyang.
His hair was disheveled, his skin was gray, and his eyes were scarlet like blood.
When Li Yao saw him for the first time, the aloof and arrogant temperament had been swept away and replaced. It was madness that seemed to have materialized.
He was holding a big pot in his hand. It was a home-made lemon tea drink. This pot was five kilograms, and more than half of it had been consumed. There were still three to four kilograms left in the pot.
"You can't sleep either. You still want to have a match? Tell me, what are you going to do! "
Li Yao crossed his fingers, producing a crackling sound.
Although his body was extremely tired, Li Yao would not refuse a duel between refiners, especially with Jiang Shaoyang, who was a top expert among his peers.
However, Jiang Shaoyang shook his head and said with a hoarse voice,
"There is no need to compete. At least at this moment, I am not as good as you."
"I just have a few questions that I would like to ask Senior Brother Li to give me some pointers."
Jiang Shaoyang's mentor, Jiang Sheng, and Li Yao's mentor, Yuan Manqiu, were true Senior and Junior Brothers. Therefore, they could also address each other as Senior and Junior Brothers.
However, Jiang Shaoyang addressed Li Yao as Senior Brother. Obviously, he was convinced of today's defeat and admitted that Li Yao's skill was better than his.
Li Yao didn't think so much. He recognized Jiang Shaoyang's strength very much. It was rare to find a well-matched opponent among his peers. He also intended to make friends with him. Immediately, he stepped forward and said with a grin,
"Let's not talk about pointers. Our strength is actually equally matched. The two warbeasts also have their own merits. If we were to compete again, it is still unknown who would win."
"If you have any questions about refining techniques, take them out and let us discuss and study them together. Of course, you are warmly welcome."
"However, why are you carrying such a big pot of tea?"
Jiang Shaoyang picked up the lemon tea, shook it, and said with an expressionless face,
"Today's battle was the most painful defeat in my life. It was a complete defeat, a complete defeat, and an unforgettable one!"
"I decided to drown my sorrows with alcohol and get drunk to vent my incomparable pain."
"However, as a refiner, I can't let alcohol numb my brain and hands."
"Therefore, I can only replace alcohol with tea and get drunk."
Li Yao was speechless. After a long time, he said, "Then I will accompany you to drink. I still have half a bag of peanuts and three sausages. Do you want some?"
"Alright."
Li Yao took two disposable paper cups and filled them up. Then, he drank the cups with peanuts.
"Good wine!"
Jiang Shaoyang's eyes became even redder, as if blood was about to drip out. He took a bite of the sausages and said, "It is slightly sour, just right for my current mood!"
"Big brother, this is lemon tea." Li Yao silently said in his heart.
"Senior Brother Li, there is one thing that I can't understand."
Jiang Shaoyang heavily knocked the paper cup on the table and asked seriously, "You only had ten hours, and you still had to carry out a lot of maintenance and modification. How could you have set up so many tactics to resolve each of my attacks?"
"According to the performance of the Tarantula, you must have set up at least hundreds of tactics in one or two hours to cope with such a fierce battle."
"This is something that even a Building Foundation Stage refiner can't do."
