Under Yang Jing's lead, Qi Yuan successfully entered the Black Steel Shelter and the arena.
Yang Jing glanced at the giant holographic projection in the middle of the arena. He was obviously not interested in it. After a glance, he whispered to Qi Yuan.
"Tan Qiu should be in the observation deck. Do you want me to bring you there?"
"No need!" Qi Yuan shook his head.
"Are you going to fight right away?" Yang Jing looked at Qi Yuan in surprise.
Tan Qiu had asked Yang Jing to rescue Ke Long and also revealed a lot of information to him. For example, Qi Yuan would be fighting Ke Long in a battle between berserkers.
Qi Yuan smiled.
"I don't need Tan Qiu's help to deal with Ke Long."
Yang Jing clicked his tongue.
"Tang Hong's berserker is not simple either!
From the performance of the holographic projection, it almost completely crushes all active Tier 3 mechanical equipment. With Ke Long's strength wearing this berserker, his strength is comparable to a pure Tier 4 mechanical equipment. Are you that confident that you can beat him? "
"It only looks strong." Qi Yuan smiled faintly.
"In reality, it's just a paper tiger that can be broken with a poke!"
"You sure are confident!" Yang Jing looked at Qi Yuan.
Even from his point of view, Tang Hong's Berserker could be considered perfect!
Even if he had the secret weapon prepared by Zheng Yan, he did not have absolute confidence that he could beat Ke Long. Where did Qi Yuan get his confidence from?
Although Qi Yuan was a wasteland vagabond, since he was chosen by Tanqiu, he was naturally not an idiot who was blindly confident. Could it be that Qi Yuan's mechanical combat suit was stronger than Tang Hong's berserker suit?
"Feng Qian treated you as an appetizer and even prepared two meals from other shelters. If Ke Long loses to you at the beginning, Ke Shoulin, the deputy chief of the combat division, will probably be very angry," Yang Jing said.
Qi Yuan shrugged.
"I like to see my enemies get angry, but they can't do anything to me!"
Yang Jing was stunned for a moment before he laughed.
"I admire your confidence the most!
If you can really defeat Ke Long and eat the two meals prepared by Ke Shoulin, you'll become famous in the Black Steel Shelter! "
"I'll get Meng Ba to send you up later. I guarantee that you'll attract everyone's attention the moment you get on the stage!"
While the two of them were chatting, Dragon Throat and the others, who were sitting high up in the observation deck, discovered Yang Jing's presence.
"He's already standing at the entrance of the fourth stage. Why is he here to join in the fun?"
A young man with blood-red lines on his face stared at Yang Jing below. He licked his lips with his scarlet tongue. He was obviously a man, but he exuded a coquettish aura.
"Yang Jing's time in Storm Shelter is not as good as you think," a bald, middle-aged man said.
"Although the Yang family is powerful and controls two board seats in Storm Shelter, Yang Jing's brothers and sisters are not easy to deal with. They are all like wolves and tigers, desperately trying to reduce their competitors. As an illegitimate son, although Yang Jing is talented, he does not have the support of his mother's family. This is his biggest weakness."
"His brothers and sisters will not watch such a potential competitor grow. Although Yang Jing is already standing at the entrance of the fourth stage, if he continues to stay in Storm Shelter, he will not be able to take the last step to the fourth stage for at least five years!"
"Although I don't know what method he used to rope in Meng Ba and block the attacks from the dark, Meng Ba can't provide much help on the road to the fourth stage. This time, besides looking for allies, he came to the Black Steel Shelter to find an opportunity to step into the fourth stage."
"If I'm not mistaken, the person who will be fighting the Berserker in Storm Shelter will be Yang Jing!"
A faint light flashed in the eyes of the coquettish young man.
"Zheng Yan has offended Ke Shoulin and Feng Qian. It won't be easy for Yang Jing to advance to the fourth stage here."
The bald man shook his head.
"Don't underestimate the bloodline power of the Yang family!"
"Back then, Storm Shelter was able to survive that calamity and repel the invading spirit beasts. The Yang family contributed greatly."
"Although most of the powerhouses of the Yang Family died in the mouth of the Mental Void Beast, the Yang Family's Bloodline Power was completely activated after that battle. In terms of the strength of the Bloodline Power, the Dark Titan of the Yang Family can definitely rank in the top three among the large families of the Doomsday Arms."
"In the various shelters, there are many families who covet the Dark Titan bloodline power of the Yang family. Your father once wanted to use your sister to marry into the Yang family, but the Yang family declined."
"Among the younger generation of the Yang family, Yang Jing's bloodline power is definitely one of the earliest to awaken. If it were not for the suppression of his brothers and sisters, he would have stepped into the fourth stage long ago!"
The coquettish young man stared at Yang Jing with bright eyes.
"It would be great if I could absorb his bloodline power!
Even if I can only absorb a part of it, I can become stronger! "
The bald man glanced at him and said in a warning tone, "Don't attack Yang Jing.
Unless you want to be turned into a pile of sand by Meng Ba! "
"This is the Black Steel Shelter. Of course, I won't attack Yang Jing!" The coquettish young man licked his scarlet lips.
"If he is killed by Ke Long in the arena, Meng Ba can do nothing, no matter how strong he is!"
"This time, we've given Feng Qian such generous terms and given Ke Shoulin enough face. They will definitely be willing to help me with this small matter."
"With the strong performance of a berserker, as long as Ke Long is ruthless, Yang Jing may not have a chance to walk out of the arena alive!"
The bald man shook his head.
"Ke Shoulin will not be used by others. Although Ke Long is violent and bloodthirsty, he may not be willing to kill Yang Jing and offend the Yang family!"
"I don't need Ke Long to kill him!" the coquettish young man said slowly.
"As long as Ke Long is ruthless and helps collect more of Yang Jing's blood, it will be enough!"
"I can't just watch this opportunity slip away when it's right in front of my eyes!"
The bald man was silent for a while, then nodded.
"I will communicate with Ke Shoulin, but without enough benefits, Ke Shoulin, that old fox, may not agree."
After seeing the strong performance of a berserker, the bald man had no doubt that Ke Long could defeat Yang Jing. It would not be too difficult for Ke Long to collect some of Yang Jing's blood during the duel.
The real difficulty was how to persuade Ke Shoulin and let Ke Long help.
"Don't they want Asterite?
Second Uncle, go and tell Ke Shoulin that I can exchange Asterite for Yang Jing's blood. He can set the price. If he can bring Yang Jing's body to me, the payment for Asterite will be increased by ten percent! "
The bald Long Hou frowned. Although Dragon Bite had awakened a very rare ability, which allowed him to absorb the power of others through their blood, the success rate of absorption was not high. Moreover, Yang Jing's true strength was not his extraordinary ability, but his bloodline ability. As for whether Dragon Bite could absorb Yang Jing's bloodline power, he did not have much hope.
Even if the Long family had a large fortune in the Dragon's End Shelter, they couldn't allow him to squander so much star energy like this just for the sake of a slim hope.
Long Shi also saw Long Hou's hesitation and said in a deep voice, "Second Uncle, this kind of opportunity to obtain the Dark Titan Bloodline of the Yang Family may only come once in my life. Right now, I'm only one step away from the Fourth Order. Moreover, I've already absorbed five non-standard abilities. Even if I can only absorb a little of the Dark Titan Bloodline from Yang Jing's blood, it will be a great help to me. Moreover, the Dark Titan Bloodline can be inherited!"
Hearing the last sentence, Dragon Roar's eyes flashed. Although the Long family had a lot of power and resources in Dragon's End Shelter, they had a huge flaw, which was that they did not have a bloodline power that could be passed down.
Although the Long family relied on all kinds of gene potions and mechanical modifications, they could not replace the bloodline power that could be passed down steadily.
A strong bloodline power did not only mean more power, but it also meant a strong family bond. In every shelter, the families that could be passed down for a long time had their own unique bloodline power.
If Lu Yin had only gambled on making the Dragon Devourer stronger, then wasting so many star energy stones was indeed not a good deal. However, if he had gambled on a powerful bloodline that could be passed down stably to the Long family, then it would be worth it no matter how many star energy stones he squandered.
"Wait for me here!"
After Dragon Roar said this, he left and went to the observation deck where Ke Shoulin and Feng Qian were.
Dragon Bite looked down at Yang Jing, his eyes full of greed and jealousy.
Not long after, Dragon Roar came back.
"Ke Shoulin agreed!" Dragon Roar said.
"But he added an additional condition."
Dragon Bite raised an eyebrow.
"What condition?"
"He wants you to fight Ke Long!" Dragon Roar said slowly.
Dragon Bite grunted and said with disdain.
"For Ke Long's future, Ke Shoulin is willing to pay any price. He wants to use the Long family's reputation to gain glory for Ke Long!"
"Tell him I agree!
I will fight in person and let Ke Long win beautifully! "
Draconic Roar nodded. An ordinary Draconic Roar Warrior and Draconic Devour represented a completely different meaning.
Ke Shoulin had already made it clear that he wanted to pave the way for Ke Long. If he could add the Long family to these stepping stones, Ke Long's reputation would increase by several times.
"I heard that before the official battle, Feng Qian and Tanqiu have a small dispute that needs to be resolved through the battle of mechanical equipment. Ke Long, don't screw up at this time!" Dragon Bite said with a smile.
"That's impossible!" Long Hou said resolutely.
"Tang Hong's Berserker is an entire generation ahead of the current Tier 3 mechanical equipment. Even the custom-made Azure Dragon Skeleton on you is slightly inferior."
"With such a huge gap, Tanqiu has no chance of winning, unless she also uses Tang Hong's Berserker!"
"The battle is about to start, but there's still no movement from Tanqiu's side. I think she might have given up!"
Just as the two of them were talking, Tang Hong had finished explaining the Berserker. The huge holographic projection of the Berserker slowly disappeared.
The battle of mechanical equipment that had attracted many people's attention slowly began.
Under everyone's gaze, Ke Long, with two swords in his hands and his entire body shrouded in a golden glow, walked step by step into the arena.
Ke Long stood in the middle of the arena, stabbed his swords into the ground, and looked around arrogantly.
"Tsk tsk!
Tonight's main character is here! "Yang Jing said with a smile.
"No, he's just a side character!
The kind that won't live past the first episode! "Qi Yuan corrected.
"Then who's the main character tonight?
Could it be you? "
At this moment, Ke Long suddenly pulled out a golden sword from the ground and pointed it in Qi Yuan's direction.
"Qi Yuan, come up and die!"
"It's your turn!" Yang Jing said.
Qi Yuan stood up and activated his Berserker. A black flame-like energy instantly spread out.
"Send me up!" Qi Yuan said calmly.
Yang Jing shrugged. Then, a yellow tornado appeared out of thin air and swept up Qi Yuan and flew toward the center of the arena.
In the yellow sand tornado, Qi Yuan, who was shrouded in black flames, looked like a demon king who had walked out of The Abyss. He was in stark contrast to Ke Long, who was covered in a golden glow.
"I hope he's not moving your grave!" Yang Jing muttered softly.
Although Yang Jing's voice was soft, Qi Yuan heard it clearly.
Qi Yuan glanced at Yang Jing.
Moving my grave?
Wait until I'm done with Ke Long and the other two small fries. I promise I won't beat the shit out of you in the final battle!
As the yellow sand dissipated, Qi Yuan landed firmly in the middle of the arena, facing Ke Long from a distance.
Ke Shoulin looked at Qi Yuan with a gloomy face.
He did not expect that while he was keeping an eye on Tanqiu, the people from Storm Shelter had ruined his plan. Kou Haitao, a Grade 4 Mechanic, could not protect Qi Yuan, but Meng Ba was different. He was a Grade 5 Mechanic, and his attack and defense were both extremely strong. Protecting Qi Yuan was more than enough.
Since Qi Yuan had successfully entered the shelter, it meant that his ambush had failed. He just did not know whether the people he sent were still alive or not.
Feng Qian stared intently at the black flames on Qi Yuan's body. He could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with the berserker armor on Qi Yuan's body. However, he could not pinpoint exactly what was wrong. After all, he had not examined it closely.
Ke Shoulin also noticed that Feng Qian's gaze was not right. He asked in a low voice, "How is it?"
Feng Qian shook his head.
"Qi Yuan's Mechanical Armament is similar to Ke Long's, but the energy is lower. He can't be Ke Long's opponent!"
Zheng Yan, who was with Tan Qiu, looked back and forth between Qi Yuan and Ke Long. He said with some astonishment,
"How can these two Mechanical Armaments be so similar?"
"Of course they are. Ke Long's Berserker, from the design to the construction, from the metal modules to the energy matrix, is all plagiarized from Qi Yuan's Berserker," Tan Qiu said calmly.
"Plagiarism?" Zheng Yan frowned. "This is strictly prohibited by the Academic Committee!"
"Do you have enough evidence to prove that Tang Hong plagiarized?"
"I don't have evidence, but Qi Yuan does!" Tan Qiu said.
"Not only Tang Hong, but also Feng Qian. This time, I'm afraid he will be in trouble!"
