The qi-trainers of the two teams were all wearing armor, but the styles of the two sets of armor were entirely different.
The slim qi-trainers on the left side were wearing armor that was thin and short, too. All the joints were exposed to the air, and the armor was connected to each other by soft tubes. A lot of True Qi balloons that Li Yao had seen on the train were also attached to the armor.
Everybody's arms, legs, and back were embedded with pairs of foldable iron wings, which were full of spiritual gas tubes. At the ends of the wings were tiny holes from which white spiritual gas was spurting out nonstop.
The qi-trainers jumped and warmed up their limbs. As their spiritual gas surged out, the wings were unfolded and contracted nonstop. When the wings were unfolded to the maximum, a tremendous amount of spiritual gas spurted out, which pushed them into the air more than ten meters high. They could stay there for three to five seconds.
While they were in midair, the iron wings folded and changed nonstop, and the angles of the spurting spiritual gas changed time and time again, allowing them to perform small-scale maneuvers in midair. They could not have been more agile.
Li Yao's eyes suddenly shone. Such jet armor was almost as agile as the Crystal Suit!
"This is the Fierce Storm Assault Team," Wu Mayan said proudly. "They are an elite squad made of slim, light-boned qi-trainers. What they are wearing is a special jet armor. They have been learning to flash and fight in midair since they were little. With the continuous spurting of spiritual gas, they can fight for an hour in midair!"
The Fierce Storm Assault Team was using two swords that were relatively slim. The two swords were also equipped with a jet acceleration system. When the spiritual gas spurted out, the auras of the swords dazzled and raised deafening sonic booms nonstop, as if many supersonic shuttles were rushing through the air.
The tall and muscular giants on the right side, on the other hand, were wearing the thick black iron armor.
The armor seemed to be made of four or five enormous tower shields. They could not have been more magnificent. They were already taller than ordinary people in the first place. When they put on the armor, they were more than three meters tall. They were essentially moving towers!
Dozens of True Qi balloons were embedded to the black iron armor, too. Boosted by the spiritual gas, the gears between the armor were rotating nonstop so that the joints could move freely and carry the armor that weighed thousands of kilograms.
The Black Iron Battle Armor focused more on strengthening the arms. Between the layers of armor, tubes of spiritual gas were entangled, which looked like thick artificial muscle fibers. As their spiritual gas surged out, their iron fists collided brutally, raising earth-shattering noises.
The rough surface of the armor was full of hooks, on which almost a hundred long-handled crystal bombs were hanging. Through the hinges driven by spiritual gas, they could be delivered to the qi-trainers easily.
Said one of the muscular men. Holding one of the 'Wolf Fangs' in his hand and weighing it for a moment, Li Yao suddenly extended his arm. Dozens of air currents spurted out from the gaps of the armor on his arm. With the help of his spiritual gas, the Wolf Fangs were tossed thousands of meters away after a swoosh!
Li Yao's sharp eyes saw the end of the testing field several thousand meters away. There was also a row of targets.
These targets weren't big to begin with. Looking from a few thousand meters away, they were as small as mung beans. However, this Wolf Fang … It hit the bullseye right in the middle of the target!
The surface of the Wolf Fang was covered with spikes. It pierced into the target and exploded in the blink of an eye. The target was torn into pieces!
"Hoooo!"
The muscular man was quite satisfied. He waved his arms, which were thicker than Li Yao's waist, and roared crazily.
Wu Mayan said hopefully, "This is the Iron Bears Detonation Team, another elite squad of the Furious Bears Tribe! They are all giants with infinite physical strength. They are also the best at throwing Wolf Fangs! Whenever the battle is in a stalemate, or when we are faced with powerful super demon beasts, the Iron Bears Detonation Team is always in the vanguard!
"They were equipped with the tribe's most powerful Iron Shield Battle Armor, and each of them carried over a hundred Wolf Fangs. They braved the attacks of the Demon Beasts and charged forward. After a round of bombardment, no matter how powerful the Demon Beasts were, they were crushed by them!"
"The Fierce Wind Tribe and the Iron Bears Tribe are the strongest forces of the Furious Bears Tribe!
"Every young man in the tribe craves to be a member of the two elite teams!
"I was planning to be a guard of the True Qi airship, but when I learned of the existence of the two elite teams, I naturally wanted to be a member of one of them. I even wanted to be the captain one day!
"My foster father, Xiong Wuji, used to be the captain of the Iron Bears Detonation Team. Although he was not tall, he was extremely crazy when he fought. He charged at the vanguard fearlessly and even detonated the Wolf Fangs that were installed on his armor directly! That was how he won the title of 'best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau'!
"However, I'm even slimmer than him. I don't think that I can grow taller than 1.8 meters in my entire life. It's more likely that I'll join the Fierce Wind Assault Team!"
While they were talking, the two elite teams had finished their equipment and began the competition test!
The rules of the test were very simple. A circle would be drawn in the middle of the enormous test field, with a red flag at the center of the circle. The two teams would charge into the circle at the same time. Whoever took the red flag and sent it back to their 'home camp' would be considered the winner.
Swoosh!
The Fierce Wind Assault Team was best known for their speed and agility. Quite a few qi-trainers jumped high into the sky with the help of their jet suits and extended their iron wings, sprinting forward.
The rest of the team members would accelerate with their jet suits now and then while they were rushing on the ground. They moved forward like white lightning in the shape of a snake.
Hardly had the opposite team been activated when many of them had already charged into the circle.
The Iron Bears Detonation Team was wearing heavy armor, which slowed them down. But they had their own ultimate skills, too.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Swoosh! Dozens of Wolf Fangs flew toward the Fierce Wind Assault Team quickly and brutally as if they had grown eyes!
The members of the Fierce Storm Assault Team either dodged left and right with their jets or waved their sonic swords to unleash high-pressure sword auras that blew up the Wolf Fangs from dozens of meters away.
However, the Iron Bears Detonation Team was adept at using the Wolf Fangs, too. Many of the Wolf Fangs collided in midair and changed their direction weirdly. Some of the Wolf Fangs exploded in advance. The blast not only changed the direction of the Wolf Fangs nearby but also accelerated them!
Quite a few Wolf Fangs broke through the defense of the members of the Fierce Wind Assault Team and exploded right next to them.
Several members of the Fierce Wind Assault Team grunted and fell from the sky, with sharp shrapnel all over their bodies.
Li Yao's eyes almost bulged out of their sockets. He did not expect that they would be using real bullets during the test!
The Wolf Fangs were indeed powerful. The broken shrapnel broke through the spiritual shield of the members of the Fierce Wind Assault Team and penetrated through their armor. Although the bones and tendons were not hurt, the shrapnel was deeply embedded in their flesh and blood, and they were bleeding profusely.
Looking at Li Yao's astonishment, Wu Mayan said as if it were nothing out of the ordinary, "This is the daily training of the Furious Bears Tribe. It is highly dangerous. How can you expect to fight the ferocious demon beasts if you can't bear such training?
"Let alone these two elite squads, even the daily cultivation of Qi Practitioners is extremely painful and dangerous. Many people can't take it anymore and give up helplessly. There are also many people who want to grit their teeth and endure it, but they end up suffering cultivation deviation and can only be forced to quit."
"According to my mother, Uncle Sand Scorpion, you will have qi-trainer training tomorrow, too. You must be prepared. It is not a joke!"
While they were talking, the two iron torrents crashed into each other brutally!
The Fierce Wind Assault Team was as agile and swift as a bolt of lightning.
The Iron Bears Detonation Team, on the other hand, was as heavy and intimidating as a thunderclap.
The competition between thunder and lightning reached the climax within the first second.
Countless Wolf Fangs exploded brutally. Dozens of sonic swords tore apart the air in deafening noises!
Li Yao was fascinated by the battle.
In terms of the combat ability of the Refinement Stage Cultivators, the qi-trainers on Iron Plateau had obviously made full use of it.
If a hundred Iron Plateau qi-trainers and a hundred Refinement Stage Cultivators in space were to compete with each other, Li Yao would definitely bet on the Iron Plateau qi-trainers to win!
While observing the peak competition between the two squads, he was considering the improvement plans for the sonic swords and the Wolf Fangs in his head.
While he was concentrating, he suddenly heard Wu Mayan's exclamation. He noticed that a cluster of black objects was darting at his face!
As it turned out, one of the Wolf Fangs had been knocked away by an expert of the Fierce Wind Assault Team during the fierce battle and was aimed at his face precisely!
BOOM!
Before he realized what was going on, the Wolf Fangs exploded in midair. Almost a hundred extremely sharp fragments swept toward him like a storm of iron!
Li Yao's pupils constricted to the size of two needle tips. He entered the super perceptive state immediately, and the activity of his brain cells was increased to 500%!
In the super perceptive state, time seemed to have been extended by five times. The air was extremely thick, and the speed of every fragment was extremely slow.
Li Yao could see the trajectory of every fragment clearly and calculate the brand-new routes of the fragments after they collided with each other. Then, he figured out the safest way to dodge them!
His left leg slid backward softly, and he was about to retreat to three meters behind himself when he crashed into Wu Mayan brutally.
As it turned out, the young man had discovered the Wolf Fangs in advance and lunged at him without caring about anything, trying to drag him away!
"This little guy!"
Li Yao was somewhat moved, but he also found it hilarious. The perfect route of dodging had been blocked by the young man!
Gritting his teeth, the activity of his brain cells soared again. Li Yao's eyes were immediately bloodshot, and several of his cerebral vessels were exploding. His body was soaked in sweat!
The moment the shrapnel came close, he took half a step to the left and seemed to be waving his hands randomly. In fact, he grabbed Wu Mayan's sleeve and dragged him to the ground!
Changing his dodging action twice in a row only took a short moment. In the eyes of the bystanders, perhaps he was so scared that his legs went soft and he sat on the ground.
However, in Li Yao's precise calculation, it was the safest dodging plan. Only his shoulder and his right arm would be hit by the shrapnel, and Wu Mayan would be safe and sound.
