Chapter 755: Chapter 755: Mechanical Egg
Suo Tugang was struck to the ground by close-range arrows before he even had a chance to react. The distance was too close, the triple-shot arrow was powerful, and his reaction was futile.
After Li Yao fired the arrows, he retracted his wings, flicked his arm, and the scatter bow in his hand transformed into a warhammer that resembled a demonic skull.
He raised his arm high into the air, and his mecha plummeted downward following the fall of Suo Tugang’s mecha.
Boom…

Suo Tugang’s mecha had just hit the ground when Li Yao’s mecha descended from the sky, his warhammer mercilessly crashing down on the head of Suo Tugang’s mecha.
Suo Tugang had first hit the mountainside and then fell — even protected by the mecha, he was significantly shaken.
...
After enduring Li Yao’s attack, he collapsed on the ground, unable to rise, and his mecha’s defensive energy was left with less than 3%.
With a flash, Li Yao ‘s figure retreated. He stated indifferently, “I told you, without a mecha, you’re not even qualified to be my opponent. But with the mecha, the situation is reversed. The new mecha isn’t something to be mishandled by you like this. It seems like an after-effect of the old mecha; too worthless.”
Li Yao was a bit dissatisfied, as currently the mecha’s version was too low and could not perfectly showcase his in-game character. Otherwise, the very first attack could instantaneously finish the opponent, where would such trouble emerge?
But as he thought so, the audience and contestants wouldn’t think the same way. To their perspective, Suo Tugang lost too quickly.
The audience on the stands were completely stunned, their faces full of disbelief.
Dammit, they had seen new mechas fighting each other before, and it was always a drawn-out battle. This was one clean and quick conclusion of a fight.
Especially this type of fight ending. Forget Suo Tugang couldn’t accept it, even the audience couldn’t. Are you a ranged fighter or a melee one?
The other testers also looked gloomy, staring at each other. Only moments ago they were full of cheer and didn’t take Li Yao seriously at all.
In their eyes, they were the elites from various places—what on earth was Li Yao? The fact that he was only a stay-at-home man aside, even if he was strong in the game, that was just pure luck. He had used the mecha a few times in real life, and there wasn’t anything worth watching.
But reality had slapped them hard; they were dealt a heavy blow. Suo Tugang, who was considered one of the best among them, didn’t even have a chance to fight back and was defeated by Li Yao as if it was all just a game.
This scene was shocking; for a moment, they were all mentally short-circuited.
Elder Wei was the only one not surprised by this situation, and he remained leisurely relaxed, as if he hadn’t taken this so-called test to heart at all.
Of course, Elder Wei didn’t care. He already knew long ago that for Li Yao, defeating these people was as easy as playing a game.
Although the new mecha and the old mecha are both mechas, they represent completely different concepts.
Whether for long-range or melee combat, the essence of the old mecha hasn’t changed much. It relies on a powerful body, quick reactions, and a strong will to fight.
But the new mecha is different. It relies on spiritual power and the skills imprinted in one’s consciousness by the Ancient Deities.
The professors can only upgrade the basic elements, such as developing a weapon system based on the spiritual imprint, and not designing their own weapons.
For example, they could control the power and energy.
However, the strength of the mecha itself depends on the individual. If there are no useful skills imprinted in one’s consciousness, the new mecha can only perform basic functions. Like the Hunter Mech, if Li Yao didn’t know the skills, and there were no imprinted weapons, he would only be a mecha capable of shooting arrows, with average fighting power. It’s not even as good as the old mecha equipped with all kinds of weapons.
But right now everything is still in the exploration stage, unlike Li Yao, who has been preparing for this moment for quite a long time.
This is most evident in the types of mecha. Among the eleven mechas, other than Li Yao there is only one other Hunter Mech, while the rest are Warrior or Knight Mechs.
There are almost no magic class mechs. There is a Mage Mech, but it’s as useless as trash. It can only release ordinary energy bullets and an Arcane Blast.
A mage who can’t use Blink, or Ice Arrow to slow down, this kind of mecha can only be the weakest.
Is there a next one?” he asked in a nonchalant tone.
All eyes on the stands turned to the testers. The men exchanged glances. Just moments earlier, they had been scrambling to compete, but now nobody wanted to go.
They were smart. Just one battle made it clear that they were not in the same league as Li Yao. Even the strongest among them could only hope for a fifty-fifty chance against Suo Tugang.
Only a woman with a Mage Mech was relaxed. She was the weakest and definitely wouldn’t be chosen to go on stage.
General Shao’s face was gloomy. He looked at the few individuals and said, “Shao Feng, you also have a Hunter Mech, it’s your turn this time.”
The General had already believed the Professor’s words. They could never defeat Li Yao, so the General called on the Hunter Mech to go on stage. In his opinion, even if it was not as good as Li Yao’s, at least it could bombard and hurt Li Yao. Otherwise, if they kept getting defeated without causing any harm, they would be too embarrassed.
Shao Feng was a young man. Hearing the General’s words, he instantly felt unhappy. “Ahem, General, you know, I was injured the day before yesterday …”
“Save your nonsense, I order you to go on stage.” The General almost cursed. Damn it, didn’t you just break a bone? With current technology, even an amputated limb can be restored in two days, and a fracture can fully heal within two hours.
Elder Wei waved his hand, stood up, and flipped his hand. A metallic egg appeared in his grasp, “You both have Hunter Mechs, but there’s only one metallic egg. Whoever wins gets it.”
Shao Feng first looked at the metallic egg with ardor, and his spirit was suddenly filled with fighting spirit.
“What is this?” Li Yao asked, puzzled. Of course, he knew what it was but couldn’t show it.
“As a hunter, how can you not have a pet? This is a Mechanical Pet, yet to be shaped. If you win it, you can model it according to the pet you have in the Ancient Deities. We will then interface the consciousness.” said Elder Wei, with a smug smile on his face.
The testers all glared at Li Yao, flames almost spewing from their eyes. Damn it, this favoritism was really overboard. A pet had even been manufactured! They were all testers, why was the difference so big?
They all could see, though it was narrated as a competition, in reality, this pet was tailor-made for Li Yao.
“Alright, I’m on it.” Shao Feng looked at Li Yao through the light screen, “This pet is mine.”
“Then defeat me.” Li Yao became incredibly serious as well. Though he had the confidence to win, when it came to pets, he couldn’t afford to be less than completely serious.
He was originally a Mechanical Hunter, making this the perfect fit for him. Just thinking about it, if he could transplant Fire Hawk’s consciousness into this mechanical egg, the Fire Hawk would truly become his pet in reality.
Furthermore, even if he removed the mecha, the Fire Hawk could still follow him around. This way, not only would his combat power increase, but he would also be safer.
Elder Wei grinned and sat back down, thinking to himself, “Youngster, this time you have to be serious for this old man…”
