Chapter 383: The outrageous difficulty of the trial at the Holy Castle for the first time
Under the guidance of Suzaku, the opponent arrived quickly. He was a North Sero man with a strong body and thick hair. His name was Lucas. Look. When Li Ming arrived, he seemed very excited and his face turned red.
"Your Excellency Li Ming...you are back?"
The news of his return is still confidential. Not many people in the base know about it. Li Ming smiled and nodded.
"I won't say much more. This is an experimental mission. You may die or you may not die." Li Ming spoke concisely and asked Lucas to sit down.
The other party swallowed his saliva. He had already mentally prepared himself when he came, but now he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
Li Ming wasted no time and activated his ability again, selecting Lucas as the target.
The next moment, he returned to his body from that wonderful state, and then watched Lucas roll his eyes, his whole body froze in place.
Li Ming asked Suzaku to record his physical data in detail, and he was always very peaceful.
Until a certain moment, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. Lucas roared, stood up suddenly, and looked around vigilantly out of a mercenary's instinct.
Then he remembered his current situation, couldn't help but touch his body, and said in shock: "Is everything okay?"
"What just happened, tell me in detail." Seeing that he calmed down, Li Ming said calmly. vocal channel.
Lucas didn’t dare to neglect, his face was a little dazed, and he described: “I didn’t know what happened just now. I seemed to have entered some kind of transmission channel, and then kept flying up, and up. Fei, in a very bright light, I seemed to see something..."
"...It seemed like a huge palace, and then I heard something like "obliterate" and lost consciousness. ."
Out of body?
Li Ming was surprised. It seemed more like the state he was in when he arrived in the Iron Throne Hall. His consciousness was withdrawn, and in a strange way, he went somewhere. There should be no danger.
Lucas looked at Li Ming who fell into silence, feeling a little uneasy, until the other party spoke:
"Okay, you can go, I will arrange special work for you, reception You won’t be able to leave the base for a while.”
“I will send you the reward.”
“Yes.” Lucas nodded, feeling vaguely aware of it. The situation just now must have involved some secret.
I didn't expect it to be so easy. I really made a lot of money this time.
After Lucas left, Li Ming couldn't wait to try.
This time the target was chosen to be himself, and sure enough, he felt a sense of detachment, his body seemed to be torn apart by invisible forces, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.
Indeed, as Lucas said, he entered some kind of passage. The surroundings were strange and strange. All kinds of strange shapes and lines flashed quickly in front of his eyes, and nothing could be seen clearly.
Until I saw a magnificent metal palace, it was like a brilliant interstellar fortress, exuding a heart-stopping pressure, as if it was standing in nothingness, with no identifiable objects around it.
Its outer shell is made up of huge metal plates, each piece shimmering with a cold luster. Countless energy pipes are crisscrossing it, and blue energy currents are flowing through it.
The main entrance is huge and magnificent, with two huge metal statues of humanoid shapes standing on both sides, with majestic and solemn faces.
The steps in front of the door are made of an unknown metal, glowing with a faint golden halo, and surrounded by a faint layer of energy mist, making the entire palace look more illusory and mysterious.
Below, there is a base composed of energy fields, and the light on the base spreads like ripples.
Li Ming looked at it, slightly shaken, what on earth is this place? Holy Castle?
Just as this thought appeared in my mind, a pair of extremely bright pupils suddenly appeared in the surrounding void, which seemed to be flowing with a large amount of data, making a dull and solemn sound.
"If it does not meet the requirements, erase it!"
In an instant, Li Ming felt a panic, and unstoppable power came from all directions. His vision went dark, and he subconsciously opened his eyes. Return to his room.
He couldn't help but stand up, his heart beating faster, but he sat down again.
"Where is that place?" He thought, with many doubts appearing in his mind, "Doesn't meet the requirements? What requirements, bloodline requirements, or... the chosen one?"
"No, I should have arrived with my conscious body. How could he detect my body because I don't have some kind of mark?"
Li Ming gradually got a clue in his heart, and then quickly took out the purple skull. The thing was still shouting: "Error, error..."
Li Ming didn't care what he was shouting and directly consumed the metal energy to construct it. The purple metal on the surface transformed and instantly became radiant.
As the light flickered, the metal began to twist and reorganize, evolving in an unimaginable way. More pipelines spread out, and mechanical limbs grew.
Mechanical limbs just appeared. It still seemed a bit stiff at first, but driven by the metal energy, it quickly became flexible and powerful.
Soon it fit perfectly with the skull and turned into a mechanical body about one meter high, which looked strange and strange.
"Master..." He was half-kneeling on the ground, completely different.
Li Ming felt some pain in his body. This time he consumed 70 million metal energy. The construction ratio reached one to one, which added up to 140 million metal energy.
Although the combat effectiveness of this thing is not low, and it can compete with S-class life forms that are about 30% developed, it is impossible for Li Ming to send it out and can only be used as a vase.
I can only hope that the secrets there are worth every penny.
"Skeleton..." Li Ming simply gave him a name: "Can you bind me as your successor?"
"Master, it can be done." Skull nodded, "Do you need me to do it now? ?"
"Wait..." Li Ming stopped again, thought for a moment, and asked him many questions about Terrax.
As expected, what I know is similar to that of the housekeeper, because the permissions are not unlocked and cannot be obtained through information state replacement.
"Just choose me as your successor." Li Ming was ready and ordered.
"Yes." The skeleton nodded. The green flames in his pupils burned extremely brightly, and rays of light fell on Li Ming.
The whole process lasted only two or three minutes, and Li Ming hardly felt any difference.
"Is this done?" He was a little doubtful.
The skeleton responded: "Yes master, you have now become the alternative successor of the Terrax civilization."
Li Ming muttered, simply regained control of the skeleton, and then activated his ability again, After a lot of strange things, he came to the metal palace again.
After waiting anxiously for a moment, those big eyes did not appear.
"Really passed?" Li Ming felt relieved.
The next moment, his vision was infinitely withdrawn, and he was already standing on the base in front of the giant metal door. Being so close, Li Ming could feel the magnificence and majesty even more.
At the same time, the bones, flesh, nerves, and blood vessels on the base quickly condensed and took shape, turning into another him.
"This kind of technical power..." Li Ming was secretly stunned. The virtual screen appeared in front of me, and it was actually the lingua franca of the interstellar world.
"Trialist--No. 1, warrior level..."
No. 1? Am I the first? Li Ming was surprised.
Isn’t it possible... The known universe has risen from the empire, and there should be many chosen ones?
How could I be the first?
Li Ming was confused, so he suppressed it for the time being. Based on the amount of known information, the warrior-level should correspond to an A-level life form.
The screen blurred, and new text appeared, "Error... non-transcendent life forms cannot undergo the final trial. Switch to the ladder trial. The blood concentration is lower than 5%. The trial is extremely difficult. "
Li Ming frowned, can the trial be switched?
Under normal circumstances, only X-level life forms can participate in the trial.
"After completing the trial, can we start the door in front of us? The Holy Castle?" He looked up at the magnificent door in front of him and felt it for a moment. This body now seems to be a one-to-one replica of himself. 's true body.
The control system was still there and seemed to be able to affect his current body. While he was surprised, he also felt more at ease.
My own plug-in is still more powerful.
The text on the virtual screen changed again, "Complete the trial, and you will be qualified to open the Holy Castle."
"Is this really the Holy Castle?"
Li Ming felt slightly in his heart Zha, a little strange, just opened the Holy Castle, what did the butler say about inheriting the Terrax civilization, painting a cake?
However, he was still quite surprised. Others were still struggling to find the Holy Castle, but he only needed to pass the trial?
This cake is really big and round.
"Your strength is too low, and the ladder challenge is very difficult for you." New text appeared on the screen.
The guy behind it should be highly intelligent, Li Ming thought to himself.
At the same time, a pair of mechanical pupils were analyzing him secretly, and seemed extremely strange, "Why did this warrior-level human come in here?"
"Difficulty?" The weirdness on Li Ming's face flashed away, "Then let's start."
The text on the screen changed again: "Once the trial starts, there are only three chances. After failure, it will be erased. It’s not virtual erasure, it’s erasure along with the body. Are you sure you want to continue?”
Li Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, but the matter had come to this, how could he give up, "Can I stop in the middle?"
"Every time a trial is completed, it can be temporarily suspended, and the maximum stasis time cannot exceed ten Years.”
“That’s for sure.” Li Ming did not hesitate.
"The trial of the lower general level has begun, the scene is being arranged..."
A mechanized voice sounded in Li Ming's ears, his face moved slightly, and he secretly estimated:
"The lower level general level? Is it an A-level life form with 30% development progress? ”
Everything around him is changing. The ground looks like a ring beneath his feet, and a gray-black mist is rising all around.
"Why does it feel like this mist is a bit familiar..." Li Ming looked around, his eyes suddenly condensed, As the mist dispersed, a shadow gradually emerged.
The facial features are standard, but the pupils are dark, and there is no sense of gaze. The skin is gray-black, the color is like the deep night sky, exuding a cold and mysterious atmosphere, without a single wrinkle.
Smooth as a mirror, but with a metallic texture, subtle silver lines extend from the shoulders and elbows.
These lines are like flowing electricity, winding down the limbs, shining with faint light, standing there quietly, but giving people a sense of oppression that can burst out with amazing power at any time.
Not just one, but another, coming out from the other direction.
Li Ming looked wary. He had never seen a similar life form before, but he had a speculation in his heart. Could this be a creature under Yongyuan?
It was a one-on-one fight. Li Ming could clearly feel the pressure brought by this life form. The opponent's strength was not low, and every one of them was stronger than him.
“The Staircase Trial is not even a trial prepared for normal Titans. For humans, it is a life-or-death experience...”
Outside of the gray-black mist, a right hand was clasped behind his back. The exquisite mechanical body looked at the scene in front of him. The lines were smooth and perfect. The head was inlaid with a pair of electronic eyes as bright as stars, and the eyes were cold and deep.
The face is covered by a translucent energy shield, and complex data flows on the shield. His posture is elegant, his anthropomorphic facial features frown, and he stares at Li Ming,
" This human being can actually bypass the Holy Castle’s inspection and crack the dimensional inspection watchtower?”
When he was awakened, he originally thought that a new tester had arrived, but it turned out to be just a warrior-level human, which was really disappointing.
"Either you can find the Titans' legacy by relying on your own strength, or the successors pass the trials. This way..." He shook his head, with a very rich emotional reaction.
"...Every Yuan clan is stronger than him. I hope he will retreat when faced with difficulties."
He turned around, not wanting to continue watching this battle without suspense, but preparing to Find out how the other party got in, and make amends to avoid a similar situation from happening again.
However, he paused slightly and suddenly turned around, his mechanical pupils condensed, and his facial features showed an extremely anthropomorphic look of astonishment: "This..."
On the screen, the seemingly ordinary warrior-level human was the first to take action, as fast as a bolt of lightning.
Punch out with both fists, and the end air waves explode, hitting the enemy directly. At the moment of contact, a powerful energy wave bursts out, forming a shock wave visible to the naked eye, spreading to all directions diffusion.
His arm turned into an indestructible sharp blade, easily tearing through the Yuan clan's defense. His chest was pierced, and the wound shone with a strange light. Broken tissue and splashing blood were blown away by the huge force. It vaporizes instantly under the influence.
The piercing arm did not stop at all, and continued to push forward until it penetrated from the enemy's back, leaving a brilliant energy trail.
The body of one of the Yuan clan flew backwards like a kite with its string broken, and hit the ground heavily. The outcome of the other Yuan clan was not far behind either. The battle was not smooth from the beginning to the end. to one minute.
"...How...why is this happening? Why can he burst out with such a powerful force?"
It was difficult for him to understand, and he quickly called up the other party's body data. He was vaguely horrified, and the processor had difficulty explaining it.
The physical data unexpectedly increased to the lord level due to some unknown ability.
"Any more?" Li Ming waved his hand and looked at the four figures walking out of the mist, and his cheeks couldn't help but twitch.
This is just a trial for low-ranking generals. Under normal combat, is there really a living body that can pass it?
He felt it was incredible that his control system could still be used, so it seemed simple and ordinary, but if it were replaced by other life forms.
In a one-on-one situation, it is difficult to win at 30% progress. Now, four against one, even at 60% progress, it may not be possible to win steadily. Therefore, evolutions with various top-level gene seeds still have a certain chance.
