The first thing he saw was Zuo Feijing fighting an Iron Claw Rock Bear in the Tiger King Battlesuit.
The Iron Claw Rock Bear was a high-level demon soldier. It was three meters tall and extremely strong. It was covered in a thick armor made of rock. It was also born with a secret Cultivation art that allowed it to swallow a lot of rocks that were rich in minerals and absorb the metal in them to refine its four claws.
After decades of Cultivation, the claws of an adult Iron Claw Rock Bear would emit a metallic luster. When the blood vessels in its body were expanded, the claws would be as sharp as iron.
Common armor could be torn apart by the claws easily.
But right now, Zuo Feijing was fighting the ferocious beast head-on. He wasn't at a disadvantage at all.
His hands and the front claws of the Iron Claw Rock Bear were entangled, as if they were two frozen statues.
Zuo Feijing's violent strength could be seen from the Iron Claw Rock Bear's pained expression.
"CRACK!"
After ten seconds of silent combat, the claws of the Iron Claw Rock Bear were crushed by Zuo Feijing. Two streams of blood spurted out.
The arms of the Iron Claw Rock Bear were broken at the elbow, too.
The Iron Claw Rock Bear roared thunderously. It opened its bloody mouth and lunged at Zuo Feijing without caring about anything.
Zuo Feijing didn't dodge at all. He squatted, lowered his shoulder and elbowed the Iron Claw Rock Bear.
"BOOM!"
There was no sign of him exerting his strength, but a blast was generated in the air with an earth-shattering sound.
It was as if two high-speed crystal trains had collided head-on. The Iron Claw Rock Bear's armor was shattered into pieces. An invisible spiritual wave even passed through its body and blasted out from its back.
After only one hit, the Iron Claw Rock Bear was blown almost eighty meters away. It was lying on the ground, unable to move at all. Its chest was deeply dented.
From the armor to the flesh, from the bones to the internal organs. They were all smashed into a pool of blood.
In the second picture, Zuo Feijing was faced with a large area of crimson spider webs.
The spider webs, which were made of the silk of the Fire-Spitting Spider, were not only extremely sticky. They were also very light and would dance in the wind. They were extending and contracting like tentacles.
The more they stuck to the body, the tighter they would get. The corrosive venom contained in the spider webs could corrode more than a hundred kinds of alloys. Cultivators with tough bodies would be blackened immediately if they were touched by the venom. It was as if he was being burned by fire.
That was how the Fire-Spitting Spider got its name.
The wind on this testing ground was extremely strong. A large patch of fire-spitting spider webs fluttered in the wind. The gaps between the spider webs were unpredictable and unpredictable.
Zuo Feijing squatted. Nine orange air currents were blown out from the back of the Tiger King Battlesuit. He turned into a streak of brightness and dashed into the spider web.
He moved between the gaps of the spider web, and in just three seconds, he had crossed the area of the spider web that covered a radius of a hundred meters.
There was not a single trace of corrosion on the armor. The spider web behind him was still intact, and not a single strand had been broken by the strong wind.
Because it was still a test model, it was not equipped with weapons. It didn't carry any more magical equipment, so it only displayed its strength, speed, and agility.
Just these two scenes of actual combat were enough to make all the reporters' blood boil.
The grassroots refiners of the Grand Desolate War Institution were all solemn and speechless.
Everybody was an expert. Naturally, they could tell how excellent the performance of the Tiger King Battlesuit was.
Li Yao clenched his fists so hard that his fingernails almost pierced into his palms.
The performance of the Tiger King Battlesuit was undeniable. Zuo Feijing's natural, dominating aura in his crystal suit. This ignited his competitive spirit even more.
This was an opponent ten times stronger than Long Qianyue, Yuan Yeshi, and the rest of them.
It was worth it for him to try his best and burn his soul to the maximum. He had to take it seriously.
The Tiger King Battlesuit was still in the experimental phase. Most of the core data could not be provided. After a few more videos, the press conference came to an end. It was time for the free Q&A session.
The reporters, who were eager to see the world in chaos, soon threw out a malicious question.
"As we all know, in order to become the first mass-produced standard Crystal Suit for the military of the Xing Yao Federation, many sects and universities are developing mass-produced Crystal Suit. Deep Sea University and the Gold Armor Clan are the first to present test models. So, in your opinion, which party is more likely to be your competitor?"
The question was extremely sensitive. The leaders of the two parties didn't want to express their opinions easily.
Therefore, it was Zuo Feijing who took over the crystal microphone and said with a smile, "The Tiger King Battlesuit is unique.
We don't consider any organization as our competitor. If we have to make a comparison, we usually compare ourselves with the Crystal Suit that is not mass-produced, which is of a higher level.
"However, regarding the craze of mass-produced Crystal Suit development that many sects and universities are promoting, we have done some research. Some of the mass-produced Crystal Suit models are quite unique.
"For example, the mass-produced Crystal Suit that Star Nebula University is developing is focused on agility. At the cost of abandoning heavy weapons and plate armor, the Crystal Suit has a high speed and agility. If it is successfully developed, I believe that it will be an effective supplement to the Tiger King Battlesuit. Although it is not suitable for a large troop, it is very suitable for some scouts.
"As for the mass-produced Crystal Suit jointly developed by the Phantom Sword Sect, the Giant Sword Sect, and the Flying Swallow Sword Sect, it completely abandons the close-range combat ability and greatly strengthens the long-range attack ability. It is more like a walking launcher for flying swords than a Crystal Suit. Such a way of refining a crystal suit is truly unique. Once it succeeds, even I can't estimate its power on the battlefield. "
"We will pay more attention to the two Crystal Suit models in the future."
Another reporter raised his hand and asked,
"The Grand Desolate War Institution is the first university to develop the mass-produced Crystal Suit in the Federation. They started their research more than ten years ago. Although they suffered a major setback last year, they have accumulated a lot of experience. It is very likely that they will release an ultra-low-cost mass-produced Crystal Suit this year. Do you think the Crystal Suit will be a competitor to the Tiger King Battlesuit?"
"The Grand Desolate War Institution?"
Zuo Feijing was dazed for a moment. Then he was amused. "I'm sorry. Our time and energy are limited. We don't know much about their latest progress. Therefore, we have no comment."
The reporters wanted to ask more questions, but Supernova Jiang Sheng took over the crystal megaphone and said calmly,
"Dear friends of the press, the first press conference of the Tiger King Battlesuit has come to an end. We need to hurry up and carry out the next phase of experiments. We will hold a briefing meeting every month to inform you about the latest progress of the Tiger King Battlesuit. So, if you have any questions, please save them for the next meeting. Thank you."
The press conference came to an end in a hubbub.
Even when the light beam turned dark, the entire Project Mystic Skeleton team, including Li Yao, was still dwelling in complicated feelings, unable to free themselves from them.
They were shocked, ashamed, and frustrated.
They were shocked by the magnificence of the Tiger King Battlesuit, ashamed of the slow progress of Project Mystic Skeleton, and frustrated that Deep Sea University ignored them and didn't even bother to pay attention to them.
"Everyone!"
Yuan Manqiu was the only exception. She was like a general who was as calm as a mountain. Her face, which used to be lively, was solemn now. With determination beaming out of her eyes, she tapped the table and said solemnly, "The video is over. Have you noticed the two shortcomings of the Tiger King Battlesuit?"
Two shortcomings?
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
They hadn't recovered from the shock of the Tiger King Battlesuit yet, and Yuan Manqiu had already found two shortcomings?
An expert in cost accounting couldn't help but say,
"Director Yuan, the first shortcoming of the Tiger King Battlesuit is right in front of us. Its cost is too high!
"However, if the final performance of the Tiger King Battlesuit is as good as what was demonstrated just now, such a price is not unacceptable. Should a war break out between the Tian Yuan Realm and the Blood Demon Sector, the military will equip the Tiger King Battlesuit at any cost!"
"Exactly!"
Another professor nodded his head and said, "As long as the Tiger King Battlesuit can be produced in large quantities, money is not a problem. If the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit's only advantage is its low cost, but it is crushed by the Tiger King Battlesuit in a real battle, I'm afraid the military will never choose us."
Yuan Manqiu sneered and said,
"This is the second shortcoming of the Tiger King Battlesuit that I want to talk about.
"As we all know, artificial synthesis of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures is something that every university and every sect is working on. Zuo Feijing's claim that Deep Sea University has invested countless resources and efforts in the past hundred years is not a lie.
"When I was in Deep Sea University, I was in touch with the related projects.
"Here comes the question. We haven't made much progress in our research for a hundred years, but we've made many breakthroughs in the past half year. Dozens of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for crystal suits can now be synthesized. Isn't it too much of a coincidence?
The professor was shocked.
"Director Yuan, are you suggesting that Deep Sea University is lying and that they haven't synthesized so many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures?"
"Not necessarily."
Yuan Manqiu shook her head and said, "This is a matter of great importance. Such deception is meaningless. After all, the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures will be mass-produced in the future. If Deep Sea University can't produce so many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, it will be a great scandal. We don't even need to claim the title of 'Holy Land of Refiners'.
"By my estimation, the synthesized Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are all real, but they are not mature yet. There are all kinds of hidden problems that require repeated experiments. That's why Deep Sea University hasn't announced them to the public.
"But right now, time is of the essence. They have no choice but to put the immature technologies into practice.
