I Am Not The Machine King - Chapter 24
Chapter 24: Five-minute Battle! (I)
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After the first five tests ended, Lin Yuan’s total score had reached 276.87 points.
There were still 23.13 points away from Lin Yuan’s target of 300 points.
This seemingly low score was very difficult to get in the Examiner Test, especially in the category of level two martial artists.
This test was like a “supplementary question” in the entire Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, which was prepared for level three martial artists.
A level three martial artist’s combat strength was tyrannical. They could get more than 30 points.
A level two martial artist’s basic score was not high. The full score of an eleven-meridians martial artist was 30 points, while the full score of a ten-meridians martial artist was 25 points.
The martial artists before Lin Yuan had almost all scored between 10-20 points in the assessment.
The examiner would give the score according to the battle situation.
Bang!
An examinee was mercilessly thrown off the fighting ring by Zhou Tianyuan and landed not far from Lin Yuan.
Zhou Tianyuan walked to the rest area and sat down. While drinking water, he was also slowly recovering his spirit energy.
After pressing the 15-point button, a cold mechanical voice immediately sounded in the arena.
“Next, No. 2210, Lin Yuan, get ready.”
Lin Yuan inserted the report card into the slot beside the fighting ring and went up to the fighting ring to warm up before the battle.
After each candidate’s assessment, the examiner would be given a five-minute break to ensure that he would be in his best condition for the next battle.
Gulp, gulp, gulp…
The examiner Zhou Tianyuan, who was sitting on the other side, was drinking water and saw the next candidate’s information from the corner of his eyes.
He stopped drinking water subconsciously and looked at the handsome young man who was warming up in the center of the fighting ring with his eyes wide open.
“Mechanical-type?”
“276.87 points?”
Lin Yuan’s total score in the first five tests was shocking.
Even if he only got 10-15 points in the last test, Lin Yuan could still achieve an extremely terrifying result. This result was even difficult for the eleven-meridians martial artists to achieve!
“Interesting.”
Zhou Tianyuan smiled, feeling that the boring assessment process would have more fun.
Generally speaking, geniuses with ten-meridians were very rare. The truly talented geniuses were mostly level three martial artists, while the less talented ones had eleven meridians. Therefore, it was difficult to see a high score in the category of ten-meridians martial artists.
Lin Yuan, who was on the stage, was not particularly relaxed compared to the previous few tests. He was seriously preparing.
Against a real level three martial artist, he had to increase his concentration to the maximum.
Soon, five minutes of warm-up time passed. Zhou Tianyuan excitedly went up to the fighting ring and looked into Lin Yuan’s eyes. He smiled and said, “We will begin after the bell rings.”
Lin Yuan had already fully mobilized his spirit energy, and all the muscles in his body were also ready.
When the time on the side of the fighting ring jumped from 17:09:59 to 17:10:00.
The bell rang for the start of the battle!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Lin Yuan’s gaze was locked on Zhou Tianyuan. When he saw Zhou Tianyuan’s starting stance, he instantly reacted!
“Ice blade.”
“Right side!”
The surroundings of Zhou Tianyuan’s body continuously emitted cracking sounds.
The spirit energy condensed into an ice blade and shot towards Lin Yuan from the right side.
Lin Yuan suddenly stepped forward and dodged to the left side.
The ice blade was not fast. It hit the ring behind Lin Yuan and turned into broken ice!
Crack!
Lin Yuan was extremely calm. Almost all the examinees would choose to launch their strongest attack as soon as they started because they could display their full combat strength.
However, Lin Yuan was extremely confident. He firmly believed that showing weakness to the enemy in the first two minutes would not affect his results.
After two minutes, his ability would definitely be fully displayed!
“Ice blade.”
“Ice cone.”
Lin Yuan’s judgment was fully displayed in the previous minute.
No matter how Zhou Tianyuan used his spirit skills, Lin Yuan could perfectly dodge it!
“Huh?”
Zhou Tianyuan was a little surprised by Lin Yuan’s performance.
Up until this point, Lin Yuan had not launched an attack. He had been dodging.
The best way to attack an ice-type Qi path martial artist who was good at long-range attacks was to shorten the distance between the two of them. Almost all the examinees had done so.
“It’s just that his judgment is accurate.”
Zhou Tianyuan shook his head silently. Perhaps he had expected too much from Lin Yuan?
It was true that a true genius could not only have ten meridians.
However, Lin Yuan had gotten a high score of 276 points for the first five tests.
“Let me test him.”
Zhou Tianyuan looked at the calm Lin Yuan and condensed his ice-type spirit energy. His hands released sky-blue spirit energy!
In an instant, the pressure on the field suddenly increased!
“Level two spirit skill!”
Lin Yuan did not expect Zhou Tianyuan to gradually increase the strength of his spirit skill at this time. When the sky-blue light rose, he subconsciously looked at the ground!
“Ice spike!”
Lin Yuan quickly reacted and jumped up.
Sure enough, the next moment, the ground quickly cracked open, and an ice spike pierced out from the ground!
“Huh?”
Seeing Lin Yuan make an accurate judgment again, Zhou Tianyuan’s expression became serious. He finally began to gradually increase the pace of his attack!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Ice blades continuously attacked Lin Yuan. The speed was extremely fast, and at the same time, it blocked many of Lin Yuan’s escape angles. Together with the ice spikes, the speed gradually increased!
When the examiners who were observing the examinees saw this scene, they could not help but whisper, “F*ck!”
“So fast!”
“Who is this kid?”
What surprised them was not the speed of the examiner’s ice blades, but the accuracy of Lin Yuan’s dodging!
As a talented mechanical-type martial artist, Lin Yuan was best at calculation and battlefield judgment.
Every time Zhou Tianyuan released an ice blade, Lin Yuan’s eyes would catch the information immediately.
Then, through the feedback in his mind, he calculated the attack angle of the ice blade and the location of the landing point.
It allowed him to make an accurate judgment and find the most suitable dodging angle.
However, Lin Yuan knew clearly that this kind of calculation and prediction was based on the fact that both sides were equal in strength and the opponent’s spirit skill was more formulaic!
Once the attack speed of the ice blade exceeded Lin Yuan’s dodging speed, Lin Yuan could only… forcefully receive it!
17:11:57.
After the first two minutes, Zhou Tianyuan started to display an attack mode that exceeded the endurance of ten-meridians martial artists!
The ice blades attacked Lin Yuan like a storm.
Two hidden ice blades drew two shocking arcs from the side and suddenly attacked Lin Yuan from both sides.
The speed was so fast that it completely exceeded Lin Yuan’s dodging speed!
“It’s time!”
Lin Yuan’s eyes flashed, and the mechanical-type spirit seed instantly exploded!
A large amount of grade-one spirit iron was instantly disintegrated and condensed by Lin Yuan. As he somersaulted to dodge the front ice blades, a spirit iron shield appeared in each of his left and right hands!
“What!”
“What is this thing!”
The sudden condensation and transformation made the examinees below the fighting ring widen their eyes in surprise.
Even Zhou Tianyuan was no exception!
Boom! Boom!
Two heavy ice blades smashed onto the two shields, making two muffled sounds.
The strength of a level three martial artist made Lin Yuan’s arms tremble slightly.
After landing on the ground, Lin Yuan did not stop at all. He stepped forward with his left foot, and his center of gravity suddenly moved forward!
The two shields in his hands instantly condensed into a long spear! He threw it at Zhou Tianyuan!
The spirit iron long spear broke through the air. This was also the first time that Lin Yuan attacked in this battle!
The sudden change was something that even Zhou Tianyuan did not expect.
After Lin Yuan threw the spirit iron long spear, his attention was completely attracted by the spear.
“It’s not a spirit skill!”
Just when Zhou Tianyuan’s attention was attracted by the spear, Lin Yuan suddenly stomped on the ground and shortened the distance between them.
At the same time, he used the only spirit skill, “Mechanized Crossbow”!
The several different types of grade-one spirit stones on Lin Yuan’s waist were all disintegrated in two seconds.
In Lin Yuan’s hands, a crossbow that was shining with silver-gray spirit energy was quickly formed!
“Black Gold Stone…”
“Disintegrate!”
