Chapter 756: Chapter 756: Success
Shao Feng was immediately covered in his mecha, the passage on the top of his head opened, and he flew straight out.
“I’m injured and did not want to fight you. But for the sake of the mechanical egg, I have to step on you.” Shao Feng looked at Li Yao, and said calmly, “By the way, I am also in the Ancient Gods, just not as conspicuous as you. My game id is…”
Li Yao cut him off, “Don’t need to tell me, this is another friend request. Can’t you try a different tactic? My friend list is already full.”
Shao Feng was momentarily taken aback, “You think just because you got the first kill, you’re number one in the world? How laughable. You have no idea how many experts are completely above these squabbles. When I was breaking records in the game, you probably didn’t even know where it was.”
“Typical for washed-up players to reminiscence about their past, because they can’t do it anymore.” Li Yao rolled his eyes, “Come on, are you going to fight or not? By now, you would’ve died many times over.”
Shao Feng’s nostrils flared. He’s almost legendary in games as an archer hunter – which is why he was chosen to be a tester. In terms of strength and background, he had no shortcomings.
...
“Alright then, let’s begin.”
As Shao Feng spoke, a flash of light appeared in his hand.
Clink! Clink! Clink!
Layers of metal chains wrapped around the legs of Li Yao’s mecha, effectively rooting him in place.
“Kid, you’re still too green. Time to face your death.” The moment Li Yao was locked, Shao Feng’s figure disappeared into thin air.
The whole grandstand erupted, everyone had the same thought: “How shameless!”
At first they thought Shao Feng had become excessively talkative, but it turned out to be a mere deception while he set up a trap during their conversation.
“Hehe, you guys sure do know how to pick them.” Elder Wei went from a beaming smile to a stern expression.
The major general’s face also changed. He felt a slight discontent but considering the importance of the mechanical egg, and that after all Shao Feng was under his command, he quickly said: “Ahem, all is fair in war, right?”
“So all’s fair in war, huh.” Elder Wei responded, gazing at the screen with a blank expression.
Outside, Li Yao’s mecha was restrained to the ground, while Shao Feng had gone stealth. Clearly, he had learned more than one skill just like Li Yao.
“No harm in telling you. From this trap, you cannot escape for at least a minute.” Shao Feng’s voice echoed from all corners, it was impossible to pinpoint his location, “You’re too arrogant, thinking that you’re the only one who could master a skill.”
“You sure can talk. You can boast after you’ve defeated me.” Li Yao seemed to have no intention of struggling. The moment he was restrained, he switched to his crossbows, standing quietly in one place.
“Hehe, you’re still acting tough. Aren’t you good with sonar arrows? I’m giving you a chance, yet you won’t use them – seems like you haven’t really learned it after all.” Shao Feng continued mocking Li Yao.
“Why would I need sonar arrows against you? You’re overselling yourself.” Li Yao responded disdainfully.

“Then go die.” Shao Feng could not contain his anger.
With the gleam of the bowstring, a steel arrow flew towards Li Yao from the back.
“You’re what I was waiting for.”
Li Yao’s mecha arms pointed directly back at once and pulled the trigger.
Thunk! Thunk!
Two arrows flew out in parallel.
Ding…
One of Li Yao’s crossbow arrows collided with Shao Feng’s arrow, while the other one hit thin air. It was as if it had hit an air wall.
Next, Shao Feng’s mecha image appeared, with an arrow lodged into his neckpiece.
Thunk! Thunk!
Yet two more arrows roared out. Shao Feng’s mecha side-stepped to evade two arrows and then went into stealth mode.
Li Yao showed a slight smirk, “So that’s the extend of your abilities… fine, I’ll give you one more chance.”
Li Yao swung his arms and loaded the crossbow but didn’t fire.
In the first exchange, Shao Feng pulled a trick and restrained Li Yao’s mecha to the ground, then he launched a surprise attack from behind. But Li Yao simultaneously pulled the trigger, shot for shot, and another arrow hit Shao Feng. Shao Feng’s defense energy decreased by one-fourth.
Everyone in the stands was stunned, barely believing their eyes. They had heard that Li Yao could use arrows to block others’ attacks in the game.
But in their view, the virtual world and the real mecha are two different matters. The arrows and bullets are too fast. How could he possibly do it?
“Is this even human?” The major general’s expression became serious.
Elder Wei casually said, “I told you long ago, your tests are meaningless. The mental strength is too weak. Instead of fussing over this, why not train to increase mental strength.”
“Mental strength, huh.” The major general fell deep into thought, his eyes fixed on the screen.
Li Yao was still standing in his position, while Shao Feng was no longer boastful.
Ten seconds later, Shao Feng attacked again, but this time from right above Li Yao.
But just like last time, Li Yao didn’t hesitate. He pulled the crossbow trigger; one arrow blocked his offensive, the other directly lodged itself into Shao Feng’s mecha.
However, Li Yao seemed like he didn’t want to continue anymore, he kept pulling the trigger relentlessly.
After being hit, Shao Feng’s image was momentarily revealed and then disappeared again.
But his disappearance was of no use. The moment he entered stealth and moved a distance, he got hit once more. This time by two crossbow arrows.
He froze on the spot, his face blank in disbelief, “This is impossible, I clearly moved after I went stealth. How can you still track me?”
His mecha’s defense energy was now zero, he had already lost. If they continued, it would turn into a fight to the death, not a spar.
“Because you’re too weak,” said Li Yao, as he put his crossbows away.
Shao Feng’s face turned ugly. He flew straight back into the base, his heart full of bitter resentment. In order to get the mechanical egg, he had even played shamelessly.
Before the start was announced, he had already begun releasing his trap. Yet he still lost, he couldn’t accept the outcome.
Li Yao followed suit, flew in and looked at Elder Wei. He too was eagerly anticipating the mechanical pet.
Elder Wei stood up and said, “I’m curious too. How did you determine his trajectory?”
“I originally didn’t want to say, but since Elder Wei asked, I’ll reluctantly explain.” Li Yao tapped on the screen and replayed the scene, “Look here, can you guys see anything?”
Everyone rolled their eyes. They watched this scene several times already, what could they have possibly missed?
“You just love to boast about your abilities, don’t you?” Shao Feng grumbled, irritated.
“Idiot, analyze the distribution of your body weight. You were obviously moving towards the upper left. Even if you went into stealth, during a battle, I’ve determined your speed and sensitivity. What’s so difficult about that?” Li Yao explained casually.
Everyone was dumbfounded, looking at Li Yao as if he was a monster. They couldn’t believe if he was even human. In such a short time, he had determined the opponent’s speed and made so many calculations and predictions… Was this a joke? Was his brain actually a computer?
The major general on the other hand was deep in thought. Finally understanding Elder Wei’s meaning, mental strength.
“Alright, I won’t be explaining such simple issues to you guys. Elder Wei, be a man of your word, okay?” Li Yao reached directly for the mechanical egg…
