Lu Xiaobai sat on the head of the mechanical octopus and, without hesitation, instantly unleashed Sleight of Hand!
In an instant, his vision shifted. He could vaguely see countless rotating parts inside the octopus, along with an energy core radiating a scorching heat!
"Is this the effect of a level four Sleight of Hand?"
He immediately understood, focusing his attention on that energy stone.
"This is it!"
With a mere thought, the energy core appeared in his hand!
"Haha, that went smoothly!"
Lu Xiaobai wore an unbridled smile, his eyes filled with excitement.
Beside him, Liu Quan and the other two watched this scene in shock.
The energy core had actually been stolen?!
Doesn't that mean Brother Lu can instantly kill any intelligent machine?
However, they didn't know that the main reason Lu Xiaobai succeeded so easily was that the mechanical octopus put up no resistance; it was essentially a backstab from a friendly unit...
Boom!
Right at that moment, having lost its energy core, the mechanical octopus instantly halted its patrol and began to sink, completely reduced to a pile of scrap metal!
Without the energy core, it lost its power source and simply died...
"Have a safe trip, Brother Fish. I'll install a brand new core for you later so you can regain your former glory!"
Lu Xiaobai patted the mechanical octopus on the forehead, then weighed the energy core in his hand and muttered to himself,
"Let's see how to detonate this thing."
His eyes flickered, and sure enough, he saw a layer of silver-white substance covering it. It must be the living silver Yang Yifei mentioned!
Holding an arrowhead, he applied a little pressure and pierced it slightly.
"Brother Lu, take it easy..."
Watching this, Yang Yifei couldn't stop cold sweat from pouring down his face.
He really didn't want to see this thing explode right next to him...
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Lu Xiaobai chuckled and continued,
"Ah Fei, so you're saying I just need to throw this thing out and pierce it with an arrow to cause an explosion?"
Yang Yifei nodded and said,
"Theoretically, yes."
"Then we'll try it out later."
Lu Xiaobai slipped the energy core into the pocket of his diving suit and said,
"Let's go find another Brother Fish!"
To lure hundreds of Giant Star Sharks, he needed a mechanical octopus to guard him. Otherwise, the very first shark that appeared would attack him madly...
Liu Quan and the others understood his intention and immediately led the way...
Half an hour later,
Liu Quan and the other two stopped, their faces solemn as they said,
"Brother Lu, we've got a situation!"
Lu Xiaobai's gaze shifted, and he also saw several Giant Star Sharks in the distance.
Using the scouting function built into his diving suit, he instantly checked the sharks' strength. They were all level 9 vitality!
"Let's go around!"
He made the decision instantly without any hesitation.
Although he could instantly kill all the sharks in front of him using the energy core in his hand,
He couldn't be bothered with just a few of them...
The four chose another direction.
But right at that moment,
One of the Giant Star Sharks let out a miserable shriek. Its entire head was sliced open, blood spilling everywhere as it instantly lost all signs of life...
"Hmm? It died that quickly?"
Lu Xiaobai was taken aback.
As the shark sank, they finally saw why several Giant Star Sharks had gathered together.
They were actually teaming up to besiege a human!
"That guy from Guangwu Middle School? I think his name is Fang Lu?"
Liu Quan recognized the person's identity at a glance.
At this moment,
Fang Lu also noticed their presence and looked over. When he saw Lu Xiaobai, he looked wary, and his expression even became a bit unnatural.
He had been extremely calm, but thinking of the heavy weapons the other party had carried earlier, he suddenly felt uneasy.
"A water-control talent?"
Lu Xiaobai didn't care about the other party's thoughts. Instead, his face showed surprise.
He finally understood why the other party could securely hold the first place.
Intern star warriors generally hadn't learned any combat star skills, so having an elemental attribute talent was undoubtedly an overwhelming advantage.
After all, while everyone else relied on physical strength to fight, this guy was directly using elemental power. How could anyone compete with that...
Not to mention that their practical combat location was underwater, taking his water-control talent to a whole new level!
"No wonder Guangwu Middle School, which ranks dead last, is so confident..."
Lu Xiaobai muttered in his heart.
At this moment,
Seeing that the four had no intention of interfering, Fang Lu breathed a sigh of relief and began to deal with the remaining three Giant Star Sharks with all his might!
With a wave of his arm, a water blade instantly condensed and slashed fiercely at the shark in front of him!
Slash!
The Giant Star Shark's head was instantly torn open, completely unable to resist such powerful force!
"Die!"
Fang Lu gripped the long knife in his hand tightly and chopped at the shark's wound.
Empowered by his water-control talent, he was completely unaffected by the water resistance and could unleash his full strength!
With just one strike, he completely cleaved the Giant Star Shark's head open!
Another level 9 vitality Giant Star Shark died!
"Such fast killing efficiency..."
A hint of envy appeared in the eyes of Liu Quan and the other two.
The three of them had been chased all over by a single level 9 vitality Giant Star Shark, while this guy was killing them with one strike each. The gap was just too big...
"Let's go, there's nothing else to see."
Lu Xiaobai shook his head, his calmness restored.
After all, he had seen countless heaven-defying talents. The water-control talent displayed by the other party wasn't that strong. If he went to the Talent Association, he would probably only be rated as a B-grade.
Seeing this, Liu Quan and the others didn't linger either and headed straight for the location of another mechanical octopus.
Three hours later,
The group successfully found another mechanical octopus.
"Brother Fish, we finally found you!"
Lu Xiaobai stepped forward, affectionately patted the fish head, and then immediately released his Phantom Wound!
A continuous stream of fresh blood instantly spread out.
Watching this scene, Liu Quan and the others were already quite calm about it...
As time passed,
More and more Giant Star Sharks gathered around, looking densely packed. They all carried greedy yet fearful looks in their eyes.
If it weren't for the mechanical octopus being there, they would have long pounced to feast on this fragrant, nutritious treat...
"It's about time!"
Sitting on the mechanical octopus's head, Lu Xiaobai looked at the swarms of Giant Star Sharks behind him with a wicked smile on his face.
"A bunch of little ants, it's time to send you all on your way!"
He took out the core energy from his pocket, which had already been tied with a tough piece of seaweed.
"Off you go!"
As soon as he spoke, the energy core flew out.
The school of Giant Star Sharks stared blankly at the incoming core, clearly having never seen such a thing before...
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
