"It's just that I was too frank in the end and pissed off 'Magical Equipment World'. I wonder if they will be infuriated and write something that is not good for us."
Li Yao said, somewhat embarrassed. Read the whole article
"Even if we don't offend them, what can they write that will be good for us?"
Yuan Manqiu patted his shoulder. "Rest assured. It's exactly because you are still a student and your identity is special that it's more appropriate for you to say those words. No matter what you say, we will take the blame!
"You didn't make a promise just now. You only refused the interview and review of 'Magical Equipment World' as an individual. The Primeval Lord of Heaven will forgive you if you are young and impulsive. Besides, don't we still have 'Refiners' Home 'and' Battle Armor and Flying Sword '?
"Even if the three magical equipment magazines all go against us, there's no need to be scared. The Grand Desolate War Institution has its own media channels!"
The Grand Desolate War Institution was only slightly weaker in refining. After all, it was one of the Nine Elite Universities. Its overall capability was quite high. It had a network of connections in the military and the media. It was in a good relationship with the Association of Demon Hunters, too. 'Predator', a special issue of the Association of Demon Hunters, could also publish reports about the Crystal Suit.
Besides, now that Li Yao had pointed out the contradiction between him and 'Magical Equipment World', would the three magical equipment magazines dare to publish a long negative report?
It was a problem, too.
Maybe, due to the pressure, they would take a more objective view.
As he expected, in less than an hour, the news about the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit had appeared in the Magical Equipment Exposition of dozens of media outlets and spread across the entire Federation.
Whether it was the mysterious advertisement, the magnificent setting, the amazing stability and durability of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, or Li Yao's shocking fist force control, or his falling out with the reporters of 'Magical Equipment World' in front of everyone, they were all shocked.
Everything became the focus of discussion!
"The booth of the Grand Desolate War Institution is quite special. Their Crystal Suit is quite interesting, too. It seems that they are very confident in the quality of the Crystal Suit! "
"The Cultivator who is wearing the Crystal Suit is quite impressive. His control over the strength of his fists is unbelievable. Why haven't I heard of such an ace in the circle of Exos before? "
"Wow! Refusing the interview and review of 'Magical Equipment World' in public? So domineering! "
Such comments were flying all over the Internet.
Grand Desolate War Institution, Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, Vulture Li Yao, and so on. All of them became the hottest search terms on all major forums today!
Inside the Magical Equipment Exposition, the craze was spreading out without anyone noticing.
More and more visitors flocked to the Grand Desolate War Institution's booth. Every staff member was completely surrounded. Li Yao was even more so the target of the crowd. Everyone wanted to personally touch the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit that was riddled with scars and see if the wounds were real or not. Full text reading
The fiery scene also put a lot of pressure on the competitors.
At least, after seeing Li Yao's shocking performance, the visitors raised questions about the stability and durability of other mass-produced Crystal Suit models.
This time. Many people were sweating because of the anxiety.
Even the Mournful Mist Battlesuit of Star Nebula University and the Sword Torrent Battlesuit jointly produced by the three major swordsmanship sects could barely perform as monstrous as Li Yao because of the design issues, not to mention the MP crystal suits that were randomly assembled.
…
Below the Deep Sea University's booth, in a sealed test room deep inside the Magical Equipment Kingdom.
"Pa! Pa! Pa!
Pa! Pa! "Zuo Feijing, wearing the Tiger King Battlesuit, was hitting a strength tester hard.
The light screen displayed the power of his attack.
"999.99 kilograms!"
"888.88 kilograms!"
"999.99 kilograms!"
"888.87 kilograms!"
Zuo Feijing's movement came to an abrupt halt.
His facial cover was lifted, revealing a frowning, cold face staring at the glittering numbers. He was deep in thought.
Behind him, Supernova Jiang Sheng said casually,
"Feijing, don't worry about it.
"The Grand Desolate War Institution must have racked their brains to shock the world. They've come up with a test that best reflects the features of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit.
"Their test pilot must've practiced the test multiple times. Chances are that he has been practicing the precise control of his punches for an entire month.
"Besides, the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit must've been specially trained for the sake of control and stability, too!"
"It's normal that something went wrong when you tried it for the first time. It doesn't mean that the Tiger King is not as good as the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, and it doesn't mean that you are not as good as the test pilot, either.
"You've seen the overall performance of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit. It's no match for our Tiger King Battlesuit at all. It's just a gimmick. Stability and precise control are important in a real battle. But what's the point of punching at a constant speed for ten minutes? God knows!
"Therefore, there's no need for us to be led by the nose by the Grand Desolate War Institution and fall into their trap.
"The Tiger King Battlesuit can run a thousand tests that the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit can never complete. Why bother yourself with such a ridiculous test?"
Zuo Feijing was silent for a long time.
Suddenly, he asked, "Professor, is the test pilot Li Yao of the Grand Desolate War Institution the Vulture Li Yao who defeated Jiang Shaoyang?"
Supernova Jiang Sheng nodded and sighed.
"Yes, it's him. I don't think the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit is good enough. But this Vulture Li Yao is indeed an excellent disciple raised by Senior Sister Yuan.
Zuo Feijing continued asking,
"He learned how to use the Crystal Suit in the Thunder Training Camp last year?"
Supernova Jiang Sheng pondered for a moment and said,
"I've asked someone to look into the details. But there's no need for them to lie about that. Besides, this Li Yao was born in the Magical Equipment Graveyard. He didn't grow up in a good environment. It's not strange that he has never seen the Crystal Suit before."
"Understood."
Zuo Feijing nodded his head. His furrowed eyebrows suddenly relaxed, and he put on the most brilliant smile. "It was a pity that I only had two crystal suits, Mournful Mist and Sword Torrent, which were not enough to fill my hungry stomach."
"But now, with Vulture Li Yao, the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, the Mournful Mist, and the Sword Torrent Crystal Suit are enough to fill my stomach!"
"Shua!"
The visor closed again.
"Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa!"
A whirlwind suddenly appeared in front of Zuo Feijing.
His punches were fast. They were several times faster than Li Yao's. In just ten seconds, he had punched hundreds of times.
"999.99 kilograms!"
"888.88 kilograms!"
"999.99 kilograms!"
"888.88 kilograms!"
This time, hundreds of punches were thrown. They were exactly the same as Li Yao's. There were no flaws at all.
…
Luo Jingang, the leader of Thunderclap Hall, was a high-level Building Foundation Stage cultivator. He was a tough guy who had honed his Cultivation through countless demon beast corpses and blood.
His spirit was incomparably sturdy, even if he fell into a trap. Even when he was surrounded by more than ten high-level demon generals, he didn't even blink his eyes.
However, the moment he walked into the booth of Red Serpent Sect, he was dazzled and felt dizzy.
Half of them were attracted by the advanced and glamorous Crystal Suit on the booth.
Most of them were scared by the prices.
"Damn it. Are the Crystal Suit nowadays so expensive?"
Luo Jingang, who was always calm in front of the overwhelming demon beast tide, had cold sweat on his forehead. He felt that this magical equipment shopping trip was not going to be easy. It was not going to be as easy as he had imagined.
Luo Jingang used to be an unaffiliated cultivator who hunted demon beasts in the depths of the Grand Desolate Plateau with a few of his good buddies. He used the fastest saber, drank the strongest liquor, and killed the fiercest demon beasts. His life was quite enjoyable.
However, as he grew older, he and his buddies got married and had children. They also took in a lot of apprentices. More and more people started to eat with them.
Hunting demon beasts. It was extremely dangerous. In the past few decades, a few of his buddies were seriously injured or even killed. Their families were left without anyone to take care of them.
The wounded had to be treated, the widows had to be taken care of, and the team was getting bigger and bigger. More and more money was needed. It was irresponsible of him to continue to be an unaffiliated cultivator.
It was just right. During one of his hunts, Luo Jingang accidentally found a rare crystal lode.
According to the national policy, after paying a large amount of taxes, the right to develop the lode fell into his hands.
Luo Jingang and his buddies discussed and decided to establish their own sect, Thunderclap Hall, with the lode as the foundation.
Originally, he thought that he could live comfortably for a few days with such a large vein of ore.
However, developing the lode was not an easy task. What Luo Jingang found was a deep lode. A lot of precious resources were buried thousands of meters below the ground. They had to be excavated with expensive, professional mining magical equipment. The initial investment cost was enormous. Of course, the profit after the mining was quite high, too.
Luo Jingang's ambition was ignited again. He gritted his teeth and borrowed a large sum of money from the bank with the lode as collateral. He bought the latest mining magical equipment and hired a research-type Cultivator who was adept at the spiritual energy of the earth class and the metal class as an elder and the technical director of Thunderclap Hall. He also hired a professional mining team with a high salary.
He and his buddies had invested all their belongings into the project. The original plan was quite good. As long as the lode was successfully developed, they would be able to make a profit in five years. According to the estimation of the technical director, the lode could be developed for almost a hundred years, which was enough time for Thunderclap Hall to become a medium-sized sect with almost a hundred Cultivators.
Luo Jingang and his brothers beamed with joy when they heard the splendid plans for their future.
However, the unexpected happened. Since last year, the demon beasts in the desert had become more and more irritable. Below the lode of Thunderclap Hall, small groups of demon beasts had been harassing them every few days.
They had killed the miners and sabotaged the mining magical equipment. After a couple of times, the losses were too great to count. The mining team was panicking and refused to go down the mine.
Luo Jingang's life was all in it. Every day when he opened his eyes, he would have to pay the interest to the bank alone. He was counting on the money he earned from the lode.
The stoppage of the mining team had cost him and his buddies their lives.
Luo Jingang used to be a Demon Hunter. The demon beasts were not strong enough for him to take seriously.
However, the demon beasts were natives of the underground world. They were adept at hiding underground and escaping through the earth. They were also well versed in guerrilla warfare. Luo Jingang had hunted them twice and found two nests of the demon beasts deep below the ground. He had destroyed both nests, but it was all in vain. The demon beasts kept showing up and attacking more crazily than before.
The only solution was to establish a squad to patrol and protect the lode twenty-four hours a day.
However, Thunderbolt Hall had just been established. Only Luo Jingang and a few of his old brothers were Building Foundation Stage Cultivators. Their disciples and children had just grown up and were merely Refinement Stage Cultivators. In the dark underground world, they did not stand much of a chance of winning if they ran into a demon beast.
