Zuo Feijing was hiding in the depths of a dense forest. The mottled stealth camouflage on the Tiger King Battlesuit allowed him to blend in with the forest. The stealth rune arrays expanded an invisible barrier of spiritual energy, blocking all the changes of temperature and metal reactions.
Unless he was hit by mystic rays, Zuo Feijing was confident that he could escape the detection of any probe magical equipment.
This was only the third hiding place that he had chosen.
He had set up nine such hiding places in total.
There were also five underground caves that extended in all directions. Two of them had underground rivers that could allow him to escape hundreds of kilometers away.
In all the hiding places and the underground caves, he had set up traps that were specifically designed to deal with the beast puppets.
He had even hidden a lot of anti-air magical equipment that could shoot down the Vicious Bee Armed Shuttle with a telepathic thought.
From midnight to now, Zuo Feijing had been working non-stop for five hours before he was able to create this large guerrilla battlefield.
He had been waiting patiently for the crystal warship to show up, like a wise hunter who was waiting for the most ferocious beast. Then, he walked into the battlefield step by step.
He was going to wash away the humiliation of the Flying Crystal race half a month ago with a hearty battle. He was going to let everyone know who was the strongest!
Rumbling explosions came from afar.
Tide Berserker had been hovering on the horizon for a long time.
Since the crossfire was so intense, more than one Crystal Suit must have been discovered. Maybe several Crystal Suit had been suppressed.
But was Li Yao among them?
Zuo Feijing couldn't help but feel anxious when he thought of Vulture who was wearing the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit.
"Let's wait and see. Last time was just a fluke. This time, I will crush you with my capability!"
At this moment, a rustling sound was heard from the communication channel.
Zuo Feijing was shocked.
For stealth. During the drill, the communication channel had been kept silent in case of spiritual waves. It had been detected by the crystal warship.
Now that the communication channel had been turned on, it could only mean one thing.
The drill was over!
As he expected. Supernova Jiang Sheng's exhausted voice came over from the communication channel.
"Feijing, come out. It's over."
Zuo Feijing was dazed for a moment. Then he was overjoyed.
"It's over? Have the other three Crystal Suit been suppressed? "
The communication channel was silent for a long time. It was so long that Zuo Fei thought the communication had been cut off. Supernova Jiang Sheng said softly.
"No. Tide Berserker … has lost its combat ability."
"What?"
Zuo Fei was dumbfounded. His facial muscles twitched, and he didn't know what kind of expression he should put on.
Supernova Jiang Sheng sighed and explained.
"A Crystal Suit snuck into the crystal warship on a Vicious Bee Armed Shuttle disguised as a soldier of the Union Army. Then, he broke into the bridge and executed the decapitation strategy.
"According to the calculation of the command center, there is a 61% chance that he can kill Captain Ning Feng, the highest commander of the crystal warship!
"Even if the assassination doesn't work. There is also a 93% chance that he will kill more than half of the command team and the operators of the warship, sabotage the control platform, and completely incapacitate the crystal warship. "
"So. The drill is over. Come out. "
Zuo Feijing was rendered speechless. It was as if a bowl of sour and spicy soup had been poured onto his face. All kinds of sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy expressions flashed across his face.
A moment later, he gnashed his teeth and squeezed out one word after another.
"It's Li Yao, isn't it?"
Jiang Sheng said,
"Yes, it's Vulture Li Yao."
At this moment, a red sun leaped up from the valley. It broke the pull of the horizon and tore apart the gloomy clouds. It unleashed thousands of light swords and charged at the boundless sky.
…
It was as if a super cold storm of minus 100 degrees had just swept across the area. The air in the command center was frozen. Everybody was frozen by the invisible icy wind. They couldn't even blink their eyes.
But deep inside their hearts, they were as furious as a volcano eruption. Astonishment, confusion, anger, shame, and admiration were gushing out crazily …
Complicated emotions were flowing freely like magma.
It was not unprecedented for a crystal warship to be broken into by the enemy on the battlefield.
Otherwise, the Union Army wouldn't have been cowering in the south of the Grand Desolate Plateau and not daring to enter the Dark Desolate Domain.
But in the past, the enemies who broke into and destroyed the crystal warships were all at least as strong as demon kings.
But it never occurred to them that a Cultivator at the high level of the Refinement Stage, together with the cheapest Crystal Suit in the entire Federation, which had been considered as garbage by some people beforehand, could conquer an iron beast almost three hundred meters long that boasted a Sky Splitter and twelve Taiyi Lightning Railguns!
Every picture was replaying the combat video of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit.
At the beginning, it blew up a Vicious Bee Armed Shuttle within half a second with the brutal firepower of the Triple-headed Six-Barrel Vulcan Machine Gun.
Later, it broke through the crossfire of the twelve Taiyi Lightning Railguns and countless flying swords and crystal cannons and blew apart the solid shell of the crystal warship with half of the spiritual energy inside the crystal reactor.
Then, it wiped out the assault squad with the strongest combat ability inside the crystal warship with the self-detonation system.
Every scene seemed to be deeply branded into everyone's brain cells with a soldering iron.
It was especially so after the refiners and bomb specialists of the military carefully studied the self-detonation system of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit and came to a conclusion.
According to their analysis, Li Yao's self-detonation system, even if it had been filled with ordinary crystals, would have affected more than ten cabins nearby in such a narrow space where the energy had nowhere to disperse.
Considering the dense formation of the assault squad at that time, it was possible that they would have all been wiped out.
In the meantime, all the Cultivators in the assault squad suffered the greatest blast because they were the closest to the Crystal Suit. Even if they had opened their spiritual shields in time, it wouldn't have been of any help.
The analysis report moved everyone. Their scorching gazes crisscrossed into another net of firepower, which was aimed at the delegation of the Grand Desolate War Institution.
"Congratulations."
After a long time, a Cultivator of Star Nebula University congratulated Yuan Manqiu first.
"The Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit is indeed a MP Crystal Suit with excellent performance. It can enable the craziest Exo to do the most unbelievable things!"
The Cultivators of the three major swordsmanship sects sighed and congratulated the delegation of the Grand Desolate War Institution, too. Admiration was written all over their faces.
But the delegation of Deep Sea University was still in absolute silence, as if they had been suppressed by billions of tons of seawater.
Inside their hearts. They couldn't have been more regretful.
The Tiger King Battlesuit hadn't even shown the slightest capability before the crazy performance of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit had ended the drill. That was truly … vexing!
Everybody looked at Supernova Jiang Sheng with grief and indignation.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Sheng walked to Yuan Manqiu and said solemnly,
"Senior Sister Yuan, I was wrong.
"In Professor Zheng Xuan's memorial ceremony, I predicted that Project Mystic Skeleton would never succeed.
"But now, it seems that my prediction couldn't have been more wrong. Project Mystic Skeleton has succeeded. The Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit is indeed a very competitive MP Crystal Suit.
"If you're wrong, you have to admit it. I hereby apologize to Senior Sister Yuan, to Professor Zheng Xuan, and to all the teachers and students of the Refining Department of the Grand Desolate War Institution.
"When Senior Sister Yuan meets Li Yao, please convey my apology to him, too. I once said that he would never achieve anything in the Refining Department of the Grand Desolate War Institution. But now, it seems that he has grown into an excellent refiner.
"I've seen the self-detonation system that he designed and refined before. It is one of the best pieces of explosive magical equipment.
"However!
"Mass-produced crystal suits are just one type of magical equipment among countless magical equipment. This is a victory for us. This victory means that the Refining Department of the Grand Desolate War Institution is now qualified to challenge the Refining Department of Deep Sea University.
"If you want to defeat us for real, you'll have to bring out more magical equipment!
"I'm looking forward to a great battle with Senior Sister Yuan and such excellent young men as Vulture Li Yao in the world of magical equipment!"
In front of the screen where light and shadow were flickering …
Ren Xingbei fell into the mud like a warship that had lost its impetus. He stood straight in a daze.
Shangguan Ce patted his shoulder softly.
"Old Bei, don't worry about it. You should know that it is unlikely that a single crystal warship will penetrate deep into the enemy's territory alone in a real battle. It will certainly move forward in formation.
"Once the enemy approaches, they will be shot into sieves by the crossfire of several or even dozens of crystal warships.
"Therefore, such a thing is almost impossible in a real battle. You don't have to worry about it."
Ren Xingbei glanced at him and sniffed.
"Shangguan, we've known each other for decades. We've suffered the worst failures together. Do I, Ren Xingbei, look like a sore loser?
"I'm just …"
He paused for a long time. Then he waved his hands angrily and said, "Forget it. Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's go and see the young man who has created miracles.
"Vulture Li Yao? That's interesting! "
…
In the medical center of the Fifth Fleet.
Li Yao was soaked in the dark green high-energy nutrition liquid. His eyes were closed. His body was floating up and down.
Dense wounds were all over his body. Not a single part of his skin was intact. His muscles were dry, and his veins were protruding. He was as thin as a skeleton.
In the battle just now, his spirit, willpower, and physical strength had been exhausted to the limits.
Especially when he charged at Tide Berserker, he took the attack of the Taiyi Lightning Railgun and countless flying swords by brute force.
Although his body had been strengthened by the Thousand Tempering Hundred Refining technique, he was still seriously wounded.
According to the doctor, his body seemed to have been hit by a crystal warship that was moving at supersonic speed.
"Art of the Swallowing Whale, activate!"
Li Yao opened his mouth and swallowed the high-energy nutrition liquids one mouthful after another.
The pores all over his body were opened to the maximum, too. They absorbed all the energy in the nutrition liquid and repaired his dried veins and nerves.
"The density of the nutrition liquid is dropping fast!"
"His bones, muscles, and veins are improving rapidly. His heartbeat and breathing are stabilizing, too."
"He actually swallowed the nutrient solution that was enough for three people to use for a day and a night in ten minutes."
"His performance is far beyond that of common Refinement Stage Cultivators. The Cultivators of the Grand Desolate War Institution are truly terrifying."
