The white shadow condensed into a tall woman wearing a silver jet armor. She looked down at Li Yao condescendingly, with a vague smile of mockery gradually appearing on her lips. ¥f.
She was almost 1.9 meters tall, which was quite tall for a woman. However, her limbs were well-proportioned and did not give the impression that she was too heavy. Instead, she gave the impression that she was as agile as a swallow, which was quite weird.
Her nose was high, and her eyebrows were deep. Gold brightness was flashing in her hair, giving her an exotic vibe.
Her eyes were full of disdain and contempt when she looked at Li Yao, as if she were mocking him for being as cowardly as a mouse.
Li Yao was somewhat confused. It was not until a moment later that he realized what was going on.
In other people's eyes, his dodging just now was simply because he had been scared by the Wolf Fangs and had fallen to the ground.
Also, he had increased the activity of his brain cells to the maximum in that moment, which resulted in the explosion of quite a few cerebral vessels. His face was pale, his hands were shivering, and his clothes were soaked in sweat. He seemed to have lost his soul.
Qi-trainers valued valor and valor above all. No wonder the woman had put on such an expression when she was in such a feeble state.
Li Yao was somewhat depressed. In his haste, he had forgotten that he was only at the peak of the Refinement Stage. His brain had been overstimulated.
If he had been in the high level of the Building Foundation Stage, he would have been able to repair the damaged cerebral vessels within several seconds.
But right now, he was only at the peak of the Refinement Stage. Therefore, he had to extend his spiritual threads into his brain and repair them carefully. It would take him several minutes to reconnect the cerebral vessels and disperse the blood with his spiritual energy.
It was impossible for him to stand up in the next few minutes. He would remain in such a state forever.
The tall, muscular woman looked at him thoughtfully and then turned to Wu Mayan. The two of them seemed to be quite familiar with each other. The woman smiled and said, "Wu Mayan. I'm told that you snuck out to hunt demon beasts last night and encountered two Emperor Sand Scorpions. But you were rescued by someone! That person killed two Emperor Sand Scorpions with only half of the femur of a demon beast. You described it as marvelous! It can't be him, right? "
Wu Mayan was also dumbfounded. Li Yao did not expect that 'Uncle Sand Scorpion', who had been intimidating enough to face two Emperor Sand Scorpions the night before, would be so scared by a Wolf Fang that he could not get back to his feet. His face was paler than paper, and his hands were shivering.
The young man stammered, unable to speak for a long time.
The tall woman grinned. Her canine teeth were thick and long, just like a wild beast.
On the Iron Bears Detonation Team's side, somebody noticed the anomaly, too. A dark-skinned brawny man strode forward. Seeing that the two of them were fine, he was greatly relieved. He said gruffly, "Wu Mayan, little guy, have you sneaked out to watch our drill again? Why don't you hide further away? "
The brawny man also saw Li Yao sitting on the ground and sweating profusely. He was stunned, as if he had never encountered such a situation before. Scratching his head, he exchanged glances with the tall woman.
"Alright. Alright, let's continue! "
The tall woman no longer looked at Li Yao. She waved her hand and returned to the testing field with the brawny man.
With a gloomy face, Wu Mayan said in a low voice, "Uncle Sand Scorpion, are you serious? You were like a God of War when you faced two Emperor Sand Scorpions yesterday. Why are you so scared of such a tiny Wolf Fang? Have you ever touched a crystal bomb before? "
Li Yao rolled his eyes in his heart.
Wu Mayan sighed. "Why did you move just now? If you had stood still, I would've pushed you to the ground!
"This is great. Both of us are sitting on the ground. We've lost a lot of face."
"The woman in the white True Qi armor just now is Xiong Zhenzhen, captain of the Fierce Storm Assault Team, an expert in the 79th level of the Refinement Stage! The black tower behind her is Shi Meng, captain of the Iron Bears Detonation Team and an expert in the 81st level of the Refinement Stage!
"I'm screwed. I'm screwed. They've all seen such a disgrace. How can I join the two elite teams in the future?"
Emotionlessly, Li Yao was focused on repairing his cerebral vessels.
He had never cared about other people's opinions. He did not care about the scorn of the two experts and Wu Mayan's complaints at all.
But in his mind, he was thinking about the formidability of the jet suit and the iron shield suit.
"The two suits should be the prototype of the Crystal Suit. Other than the lack of crystal processors, the enhancement and utilization of spiritual gas of the Crystal Suit are even more delicate than some of the old-fashioned crystal suits. They should be able to increase the combat ability of a Refinement Stage Cultivator to the maximum!
"After all, the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit is now unusable. Maybe I should craft a suit of True Qi armor for emergencies, too?"
Li Yao sat cross-legged on the ground, holding his chin with his hands. He was deep in thought, ignoring the babbling of the young man next to him.
…
After the test was over, Li Yao returned to the hospital with a few sonic swords and a few different models of Wolf Fangs.
Sha Yulan had prepared a quiet ward for him so that he could conduct his research in private.
The light in the ward was on for an entire night.
The next morning, Wu Mayan came to him again. The two of them took another True Qi train and arrived at the temple of techniques in the central area of Furious Bears City.
"What a splendid building!" Li Yao raised his head.
The temple of techniques was a tall, magnificent black building hundreds of meters tall. After thousands of years of weathering, giant cracks that looked like boas were riddled on the surface. But it was still supported by a series of rebars and iron frames.
There was a giant square in front of the building, with countless elevators connected by gears and hinges that led to the underground.
Judging from the sign in front of the building, there were endless, magnificent buildings below the ground.
Outside of the temple of techniques, a bronze statue more than ten meters tall was standing. It was a muscular man wearing animal skin who was fighting a giant mantis bare-handed.
Although it was just a statue, and the details were not very detailed, a sense of desolation and magnificence was still overwhelming Li Yao's face from the crude strokes.
On the base of the statue was a rusty nameplate, which seemed to have been burnt by a high temperature and was riddled with holes. But one could vaguely make out a line of neat words.
"No. 341 Recruit Training Camp of the Flying Star Coalition Government!"
According to Wu Mayan, the antecedent of the temple of techniques was the place where recruits were trained by the coalition government of the six major sects before the apocalypse. There were a lot of advanced training facilities inside.
Although most of the facilities had been damaged in the five thousand years, some of them were still intact. After maintenance and imitation, they were turned into the central buildings of the Furious Bears Tribe.
The regular training of qi-trainers could be carried out anywhere. But the initiation at the beginning and the soaring progress within a short period of time had to be carried out in the special training rooms in the temple of techniques.
Before Li Yao walked into the temple, he could already hear miserable screams coming from the depths of the temple. Countless tall, muscular men were limping out of the temple feebly and gloomily, before they left while sticking close to the wall.
Wu Mayan said in a low voice, "The apocalypse is coming. Many ordinary people have come to the temple of techniques, hoping to test whether or not they have the potential to become qi-trainers. It's a pity that most of them can't bear the pain of the first test and have to give up!
"The six tribes of Iron Plateau worship the strong and despise cowards. If anyone cries for help after being bitten by a demon beast during a hunt, they will be laughed at by other people.
"But there is a rule. For those who give up because they cannot bear the training of qi-trainers, they must not be regarded as cowards, and they must not be mocked!
"Because such training is multiple times more intense than being bitten by demon beasts. It is perfectly normal that you cannot bear it!
"Uncle Sand Scorpion, if you can't bear it later, don't force yourself. It's not embarrassing at all. Do you understand?"
Li Yao did not give a reply. He and Wu Mayan walked up the broad stairs.
On the top of the temple of techniques, a giant plaque was hanging, on which six aggressive, bloody words were written:
'All for survival!'
Inside the temple of techniques, a cluster of vague black fog was swirling, making it impossible to see what was going on around.
Li Yao only vaguely saw that hundreds of teenagers were sitting in metal buckets on the left side of the temple. Only their heads were exposed to the air.
Inside the buckets seemed to be some kind of special medicine. Being boiled by the secret medicine, all the teenagers were in great pain. Some of them were even crying.
Wu Mayan put on a sorrowful expression, too, as he said, "This is to dredge the veins and bones of the children and lay the foundation for their future training. Only by dredging the veins from the age of three to five, day after day, year after year, will they be able to bear the pain of the expansion of their veins and nerves. Only then will they be able to withstand the excessive spiritual gas flowing into their body without exploding!
"I wonder, Uncle Sand Scorpion, have you ever been through the torture of such secret medicine before? If you haven't, the dredging of spiritual gas will be even more unbearable! Let me repeat myself. Do not push yourself. If you can't bear it, you will be killed! "
Xiong Wuji had talked to the deacons in the temple of techniques in advance. Wu Mayan led him directly to an advanced training chamber on the third floor below ground.
It was said that it was a training chamber for experts above the 40th level of the Refinement Stage.
The training chamber looked no different from the training chambers that Li Yao had seen in the outside world. Training equipment such as barbells, iron rods, punching targets, and so on were scattered in every corner.
All the training equipment was made of black iron. The air was filled with the intense smell of rust.
The moment Li Yao walked into the training chamber, he was deeply attracted by the dozens of enormous, colorful pictures hanging on the wall. They were the pictures of veins and nerves of the human body. However, different from the pictures of veins and nerves that Li Yao had seen in the outside world, hundreds of brand-new veins that were as thin as hair were scattered between the Twelve Main Veins and the Eight Extraordinary Veins!
