At seven o'clock in the evening, Li Yao was learning the assembly of crystal bombs in a special training room.
Ever since his relationship with Huangpu Shiyi had become 'harmonious', he had taken the opportunity to ask Huangpu Shiyi for a practical operation.
After careful consideration, Huangpu Shiyi agreed to it.
However, all the experiments had to be carried out in this special cultivation room.
Defense rune arrays and reflection rune arrays of the highest level had been deployed in every corner of the room. There was no way that the crystal bombs could destroy them.
Even if the crystal bombs were powerful enough, some of them would be reflected back and blow up everybody inside the room before they destroyed the room.
Therefore, it was impossible for Li Yao to escape by making crystal bombs.
Besides, Li Yao had no doubt that his every move was being monitored by the invisible expert hiding in the darkness. As long as he showed the slightest anomaly, the expert would take action immediately.
Since the enemy's stealth techniques were so impressive, it was very likely that he was an ace assassin of Black Spider Tower who was adept at stealth and assassination. Li Yao was not confident that he could kill such an opponent in a head-on confrontation.
However, Li Yao did not intend to escape right now. He was truly focused on the crystal bombs.
In front of Li Yao was a crystal chip the size of a fingernail, on which a handful of fluorescent powder was piled.
Li Yao opened his hands. Spiritual threads flowed out of his fingertips and guided almost a hundred metal plates that were as thin as cicada's wings to be inserted into the powder carefully according to a special pattern. Then, he covered another crystal plate on top of it and sealed them together carefully.
The simple operation took twenty minutes. Li Yao was so focused that his forehead was covered in sweat.
On the surface, it seemed to be a common dual crystal chip set that could be used in Crystal Suits, shuttles, sabers, swords, and other magical equipment. But after being modified by Li Yao, it became a huge bomb. However, it had become an extremely powerful bomb. With just a thought, it could cause a radius of ten meters to fall into a raging sea of fire.
After several days of hard training … Together with the exchange of knowledge with Huangpu Shiyi, the unparalleled expert, Li Yao's skill in crystal bombs finally made a breakthrough.
His path was different from Huangpu Shiyi's.
Although Huangpu Shiyi was a rare genius in refining, he was still a genius. However, his hands were still severely injured, and it was inconvenient for him to operate. He also had a huge organization behind him, and he had many subordinates to cooperate with him.
Therefore, his style of explosion was more inclined towards large-scale serial explosions.
Li Yao, on the other hand, was a loner. He liked the feeling of traveling in the sea of stars by himself. Besides, his hands were as fast as ghosts thanks to the Purple Ring Sword Ants, and he had received Ou Yezi's heritage. He was very good at carving tiny rune arrays.
Therefore … His explosive style was more inclined towards miniaturization, concealment, and individual combat ability. He did not particularly pursue power, but pursued a combination with actual combat. It would be best if he could place bombs and traps in the middle of a battle without anyone noticing.
Li Yao breathed into his palm and rubbed his sore fingers, thinking about himself and Huangpu Shiyi. There was a difference in the Dao of Explosion.
At this moment, the starship first shook heavily, then there was a very regular intermittent tremor, and there was a slight noise coming from the wall.
Li Yao was dazed for a moment. He stuck his ear to the cabin wall and analyzed the situation outside carefully.
It sounded like the starship was under rapid attack. One of the power rune arrays had exploded, followed by ear-splitting noises, as if the shell of the starship had been torn apart.
CRACK! CRACK!
Three layers of barriers had been imposed on the door of the cabin. Inside the broadcast rune array in the corner of the ceiling, Fei Fei's voice was trembling. Fei Ming's somewhat nervous voice could be heard, "Master Li Yao, please don't be impatient. We are under attack by cultivators. Black Stone and White Dew are leading the guards to resist the invading enemies. Please stay in the training room to avoid any mishaps."
Li Yao raised his eyebrow and did not say anything. He returned to his workbench and continued to assemble the next piece of magical equipment as if nothing had happened.
However, the speed of the starship was much higher than before. It almost reached the supersonic speed again.
The explosions and quakes outside were louder and louder. The lights in the cabin were flickering. For half a minute, even the balance system of the starship was malfunctioning, and the ground was tilting slightly to the left.
None of this affected Li Yao. He continued his practice without any distraction and assembled almost five crystal bombs in a row.
Of course, Huangpu Shiyi had not given him a lot of materials for practice. Therefore, the crystal bombs were not very powerful.
Half an hour later, roars and screams suddenly echoed outside of the cabin. After a deafening explosion, more than half of the cabin was covered in smoke. A shockingly large hole appeared on the cabin door. An Exo wearing a lead-gray Crystal Suit, which was covered in wounds and blood, crawled in and appeared in the smoke.
On the breastplate of the Exo's Crystal Suit, there was a badge of a bear head. In the mouth of the giant bear that was full of tusks, a bloodstained saber was biting hard.
It was the emblem of the Furious Bears Union, one of the six major sects in Heavenly Saints City.
"Master Li Yao."
The heavily wounded Exo dashed to Li Yao and said anxiously, "We are from the Furious Bears Legion, the armed force of the Furious Bears Union. My name is Hu Guohao. We are here to save you and Master Huangpu. Let's go now."
Brilliance flashed in Li Yao's eyes. He asked in surprise, "You found out that Huangpu Xiaoya and I were missing so quickly? Could it be that you've found the alarm magical equipment I hid in my room? Was it not damaged by the explosion? "
Hu Guohao was dazed for a moment. Then he nodded quickly and said, "The magical equipment was indeed damaged by the explosion, but the experts of the six major sects fixed it. That's why we learned that you and Master Huangpu were missing. Let's not talk about that now. It is an emergency. Our men can't persist for long. Let's go now.
We'll talk about it later. "Li Yao rolled his eyes and said hesitantly," It's a pity that I don't feel like leaving now. Let me think about it. "
Hu Guohao stomped his feet anxiously. "What time is it? There's no time for you to think about it. You have to go now."
Li Yao's eyes turned cold. He said, "I hate it when people threaten me. What are you going to do if I don't leave?"
Hu Guohao screamed, his Crystal Suit shivering. He pointed at Li Yao's nose and said, "So, Master Huangpu was right. You have indeed betrayed us. You are a coward. You are a traitor who is worse than a dog. "
Li Yao chuckled coldly. "Every man for himself. I never said that I would be loyal to the Cultivators. How can I betray you?"
Hu Guohao was infuriated. "Evil. Everybody has the right to punish them. Now that you have joined the evil, go to hell! "
Hu Guohao waved his right hand. Three sharp claws of lightning appeared on the front end of his right arm. He roared. He slashed at Li Yao brutally.
He was wearing the Crystal Suit, which boosted his combat ability. The attack was as powerful as a hurricane.
Li Yao's Eight-Arm Crystal Suit, on the other hand, had been mostly scattered on the ground since the first day he boarded the starship. Besides, it would take him several seconds to summon the rest of the Crystal Suit. There was no time at all.
Li Yao waved his hands. The five crystal bombs on the workbench that he had just completed were all thrown at Hu Guohao. He lowered his body and hid under the workbench.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Hu Guohao was immediately surrounded by orange-red light clusters.
It was a pity that the crystal bombs were too weak, and Hu Guohao was protected by the Crystal Suit. The crystal bombs only caused him a momentary dizziness and made him take a few steps back. His vital parts were not hurt at all.
Taking advantage of the momentary dizziness, Li Yao dashed out from under the workbench and ran out of the cabin as fast as he could.
Hu Guohao immediately realized what was going on. He roared again and again, "Traitor, where are you going?"
The power array glyphs on his back spurted out orange-red flames. His speed soared to the limit as he kicked Li Yao's back heavily.
Li Yao screamed miserably. Like a sparrow whose string had been cut, he spat out a mouthful of blood and was kicked to a corner.
Hu Guohao took advantage of the opportunity to move forward. The electric currents of his Lightning Claw were raised to the limit. Dazzling electric arcs crackled as he aimed at Li Yao's chest. He thrust forward.
Li Yao's face was as pale as paper. His hands hung down powerlessly. His eyes were filled with fear. It seemed that he could only sit and wait for his death.
In the next half a second, two things happened at the same time.
First, a black shadow shot in through the open cabin door and shot a small flying sword at Hu Guohao. It hit Hu Guohao's Lightning Claw precisely and caused it to deviate.
Secondly, Li Yao somehow summoned his strength and dashed to the right. As it turned out, he was unlucky enough to run into the trajectory of the flying sword.
The flying sword, which was surrounded by crimson flames, scratched his left rib brutally, leaving a terrible wound on his rib that almost reached his heart.
Li Yao's face was twisted. He did not even have the strength to scream. He simply collapsed.
The black shadow was frozen. It turned out to be a Pure Black Crystal Suit.
The owner of the Black Crystal Suit seemed to be as dazed as Hu Guohao. It was not until half a second later that the two Crystal Suit began fighting each other.
However, neither of them seemed to be in the mood to fight. After several seconds of fighting, Hu Guohao turned around and fled, shouting, "Traitor, just wait and see."
But the black shadow lunged at Li Yao. "Master Li Yao!"
In a surveillance room not far away, Huangpu Shiyi and Su Jiuzhen both jumped to their feet and shouted at the same time, "Not good! Send the best treatment and the best drugs to the med bay!
"He is the best disciple that I've gone through all kinds of trouble to find. Now that he has been tested, his loyalty is unquestionable. He cannot die just like that. Absolutely not!"
Seeing that Li Yao's chest was torn apart and that he was cramping, Huangpu Shiyi felt that his heart was being torn apart.
It was not that he felt sorry for Li Yao, but that Li Yao still had countless skills and techniques in refining in his head that he hadn't dug out yet. It would be a great waste if he were to die just like that.
Cold sweat was popping up on Su Jiuzhen's forehead, too. He gnashed his teeth and said, "Who knew that he would suddenly jump up?
"But it's not a bad thing. Faced with such a life-and-death moment, this is the best he can do. At the very least, it proves that he is sincere about joining the Temple of Immortals, and his combat ability is only in the beginning level of the Building Foundation Stage.
Two days ago, when he had been sick, everybody had left a lot of caring comments in the comment section. Old Cow felt warm when he read the comments. Thanks to everybody's encouragement, he was finally revived with full health today.
Yesterday, one of the readers mentioned that the money that they had planned to spend on the movie had been donated to Old Cow. Old Cow was so touched that he showed the news to his wife. Both of them were amused for a long time.
If writing could be counted as a career, then the greatest reward of such a career was not money but the 'satisfaction' brought by everybody's support.
Thanks to everybody's support, Old Cow truly felt that he was doing something very happy and worthwhile.
Thank you, everybody.
Also, many of my friends have donated to me. Some writers might like to express their gratitude in their articles. Old Cow thought about it before, but on second thought, I realized that the best way to express my gratitude would be to write more, wouldn't it?
Old Cow might not have written down every bit of support from every friend in his article, but he would certainly remember it.
Let's not talk about it anymore. A new moon, a new atmosphere. Today, I will write four chapters as a token of appreciation. Those who have monthly votes, you can vote now ~ to be continued.
