It was Lan Jue who was grateful.
If not for Lan Jue's suggestion, she wouldn't have brought Jun 'er with her.
From the time they'd left Skyfire until now, the Pharmacist could feel the changes in her daughter. Lan Jue had been right, living in a confined space was not good for her. It was better for her to see the outside world.
Both Lan Jue and the Pharmacist knew that the Brainwave Retinal Helmet was harmful to the human body.
For this reason, the Pharmacist had never let her daughter wear one before. She hadn't even told her about its existence.
So when Lan Jue had suggested giving her a retinal helmet, the Pharmacist had vehemently opposed the idea.
But Lan Jue had told her that a child's body was important, but even more important was her mind.
Jun 'er's world was too confined. For a child who couldn't see, how important would it be for her to see the outside world?
Perhaps the Brainwave Retinal Helmet could hurt her, but as technology advanced, as long as she used it for a short period of time, there wouldn't be any problems.
It would also be beneficial to Jun 'er's mental health.
It was because of this that Lan Jue convinced the Pharmacist to give it a try.
When Jun 'er put on the helmet for the first time, she could see the faces of Lan Jue and the Pharmacist. She could feel the colors of the outside world. She cried with joy. So much joy.
It was like she was a completely different person. She screamed, "I can see!" for a full hour.
She cried until she fell asleep.
After that incident, Jun'er's personality became much more cheerful and cheerful. Her originally pale little face was now filled with a bright radiance.
Her pale cheeks now had a healthy pink tint to them.
All these changes proved that Lan Jue was right.
The Pharmacist's care for Jun 'er over the past few years had been far too thorough. It was because of this that Jun' er had become so lonely and fragile.
The Pharmacist didn't approach.
She retreated a few rows to the back and sat down in the seat that had been arranged for her.
She had already thought it through. For the sake of her daughter, she should let her experience more things.
"Jun 'er, you've been wearing that helmet for a while. You should take it off and get some rest." The Gourmet said to Jun' er.
Jun'er shook her head.
"No, I'll take it off after I watch Daddy's match."
The Terminator grinned. "Who's your father?
What does he look like? "
Jun 'er said, "Daddy hasn't appeared yet.
My father said that I can't tell others which one he is. This is a secret between me and my father.
So, only I know who daddy is. "
The Terminator laughed.
"In that case, your father is quite mysterious. Interesting, interesting!"
The first batch of matches ended very quickly. It didn't even take half an hour.
There were many participants, and their cultivations were uneven.
When a Level 9 Arcanist meets a Level 6 or Level 7 Arcanist, there is no suspense at all.
After the Pharmacist, the Barber and the Seamstress came out on top.
Twenty minutes later, the first batch of matches was over.
The first batch was over.
The robots took care of the injured, and the victors left on their own.
Their name tags were emblazoned on their chests.
Ten minutes later, the second batch of competitors entered the arena.
The matches were broadcasted all over the world at this time.
The second batch was just as quick. This time, no one familiar to Lan Jue was present.
Everything proceeded as normal.
There were too many arenas. She stood at the edge of the arena.
It was difficult to see the entire scene.
Lan Jue closed her eyes and rested. She felt the energies of heaven and earth around her.
Ever since he and Zhou Qianlin had become ninth level ninth rank, Lan Jue hadn't felt the same.
He'd done it often enough.
The old man had once told him that when an Adept reached ninth level ninth rank, they had to begin to feel the connection between heaven and earth. They had to find their own path to the heavens.
This process couldn't be rushed. It had to be well prepared.
All Adepts at the peak of ninth level wanted to break through to Paragon, but Paragon was not an exception.
Therefore, their first attempt would always be the most important.
Their chances of success were the highest.
If he failed to break through to Paragon, then the chances of succeeding were infinitesimal, infinitesimal.
Unless they had some sort of epiphany.
Therefore, even though Lan Jue had already grasped protogenia, he didn't dare be careless. Every day he sought to understand the connection between heaven and earth. He sought a clearer understanding.
"The third batch of competitors will enter the arena in sequence."
Lan Jue, who'd been in a half-meditative state, suddenly opened his eyes and walked out.
His ring number was thirty-five, and his opponent was one thousand seven hundred and twenty-four.
When he arrived at the arena, his opponent was already one step ahead of him. It was a man with a gloomy aura. This person was very unique. Half of his body seemed to be made of metal, even his head.
His appearance was ferocious.
A single orange-red eye glowed on the metal half of his head. It added to his malevolence.
This was, of course, number one thousand seven hundred and twenty-four.
Both sides stood on opposite sides of the arena, staring at each other.
Other than the golden mask Lan Jue wore, he looked human.
His opponent's appearance was obvious. He was an altered Adept from the Northern Alliance.
Altered Adepts were unique to the Northern Alliance. Even the Terminator himself was an altered Adept. However, no one knew what he'd altered, or how much he'd changed.
Number one thousand seven hundred and twenty-four gave Lan Jue a thumbs-up, then slowly turned it down.
He waved his hand dismissively.
Lan Jue stood with his hands clasped behind his back. He didn't respond to his opponent's provocation.
"Countdown begins. Fifty-nine, fifty-eight …"
"Five, four, three, two, one, begin!"
As soon as the electronic voice rang out, number one thousand seven hundred and twenty-four made his move. He took a big step forward, bent his left knee, and punched the ground with his right fist, which was made entirely of alloy.
As his right fist punched down, a large metal ball protruded from the front, as if it was connected to something.
Then, the metal ball smashed into the ground.
"Boom!" A violent roar, accompanied by a powerful shockwave, swept towards Lan Jue.
Seismic wave!
The most important difference between altered Adepts and robots was that their energy came from their own Adept's energy core, and not from other sources.
Otherwise, they'd be half-robots.
The strong seismic waves caused a distorted halo to appear on the entire arena.
Even the outer protective shield had ripples of light.
His opponent was strong. This altered Adept was quite strong!
Lan Jue realized that his luck wasn't very good. It was only the first round, and he'd already encountered a very strong opponent.
However, he was only very strong!
Lan Jue took a step through the air, and in the blink of an eye he was surrounded by a dense web of violet lightning.
These electric lights converged into a power grid, protecting him within.
When the seismic wave hit the power grid, it was instantly annihilated!
"Hey!"
Number one thousand seven hundred and twenty-four snorted coldly, and his squatting body suddenly sprang up. At that moment, it felt like he was a human-shaped bomb.
As his body sprang up, his whole body emitted a strong silver-white light.
A long whip was lashed out. The long whip itself looked like there were several of them, emitting a buzzing sound.
In just a flash, it appeared in front of Lan Jue.
Vibration!
Was this his opponent's Arcana?
However, his Vibration Arcana was completed through mechanical amplification.
As for the difference between the energy core of an altered Adept and that of an innate Adept, Lan Jue didn't know.
The body structure of every modified Arcanist was their greatest secret.
Lan Jue waved his right hand, and a dazzling electric light flashed and collided with the Vibration Whip. The Vibration Whip suddenly stopped, revealing its grayish-white body.
However, the electric current also seemed to collapse in the vibration. The moment the Vibration Whip bounced off, the body of number one thousand seven hundred and twenty-four appeared in front of Lan Jue.
A dazzling orange light suddenly lit up from his metal right shoulder, and then a beam as thick as an arm instantly appeared in front of Lan Jue.
Lan Jue's eyes moved slightly. This opponent was very cunning!
His arrogance at the beginning was probably more to confuse her. After the battle began, there were endless tricks.
It seemed that he wanted to fight in close combat, but he suddenly released a beam at such a close distance. The Vibration Whip was probably just a feint, and the real killer move was in the next attack.
The speed of the laser was too fast, and at such a distance, there was no possibility of dodging.
A blue light flashed on the surface of Lan Jue's body, and a layer of net-like lightning blocked in front of him.
"Poof —" With a soft sound, Lan Jue's protective lightning net was blasted open, and the orange light fell directly on the right side of his chest.
A trace of helplessness appeared in Lan Jue's heart. After all, his cultivation had decreased. Although the speed of improvement when training with Zhou Qianlin was very fast, and he was now close to the peak of Level One Rank Nine, there was still a big gap between him and his previous Level Seven Rank Nine.
The combat power of the altered Adept in front of him should be around the peak of Level Eight, but definitely not Level Nine.
If he was at Level Seven Rank Nine, how could an attack of this level break his protective lightning net?
Seeing that his attack had hit, number one thousand seven hundred and twenty-four, who had paused in the air for a moment, instantly accelerated again, and lowered his shoulder to hit Lan Jue. On his shoulder, metal spikes as long as half a foot popped out, densely packed like a mace.
If he hit and penetrated his body, there was no way Lan Jue would survive.
