Chapter 111: The Battlefield

Inside the training arena.

Di Zheng stood by the window, gazing at the gentle moonlight projected by the holographic display in the underground city.

"You don’t need to worry about the Nine Phoenix matter."

"Before coming here, I already informed the security department."

"In the meantime, the security department’s investigation team should be closely monitoring them."

"They won’t have time to focus on you."

The soldier captain paused, then added.

"Go see Yu Bai Tao."

"I will make sure someone protects you in secret."

"But on the surface, you have to rely on yourself."

Luo Yan looked up and gazed at the soldier captain thoughtfully, saying, "Do you want to find out who is the mastermind behind Bai Tao?"

Di Zheng chuckled and didn’t respond directly.

He stood up.

He patted Luo Yan’s shoulder and said, "Focus on the trial on Monday."

"That is the top priority."

"Once you get the ‘special driving license,’ I will assign some tasks for you to get familiar with Mecha Master’s life as soon as possible."

"I look forward to one day entering the ‘battlefield’ with you."

"I hope that day comes soon."

Luo Yan felt a stir in his heart.

Battlefield?

Are there other battlefields besides the forbidden land?

Luo Yan didn’t ask further.

He believed that he will know when the time is right.

Di Zheng will speak.

Also on the same evening.

In a dimly lit room.

Bai Tao, who is in his forties, sat in front of a table.

There were food boxes placed on the table.

Inside were dishes freshly delivered from the restaurant.

Bai Tao was sweating as he ate.

Suddenly, the phone next to him rang.

He wiped his mouth with a tissue.

Answering the phone.

"Big brother," called Bai Tao.

A voice in the phone hummed, then asked, "How is everything going?"

Bai Tao grunted and said, "That little rabbit didn’t make a sound from start to finish."

"I’ll use 100,000 work points to make him listen to my phone call."

"He really did just listen quietly."

"Brother, how about we get Nine Phoenix to deal with him, so he won’t be able to take the trial on Monday?"

There was silence on the phone for a while.

Finally he said, "Atao, you’ve been with me for almost twenty years now."

"You’re not young anymore, already in your forties, yet you still act so impulsively."

Bai Tao shrugged his shoulders.

The person on the phone continued, "Do you want him to fail the trial just for that bit of money?"

"My goal…"

"Forget it."

"You wouldn’t understand even if I told you."

"Let’s do this, you find someone to make trouble for him, don’t let him off too easily."

"That makes sense."

"If you do nothing, it will make Di Zheng suspicious."

Bai Tao’s eyes flashed with hostility, "Brother, just making trouble for him, isn’t that too easy on that kid."

The person on the phone sneered, "Idiot."

"Do you believe me."

"Maybe Di Zheng has already sent people to protect him."

"The people you have can only do small, unimportant actions."

"If you really want to take action against him, you’ll have to use my people."

"If this really happens."

"Di Zheng might follow the clues and figure out our relationship."

Bai Tao suddenly felt very nervous.

"Don’t underestimate Di Zheng."

The man on the phone said, "If he was easy to deal with, Luo Tianyi wouldn’t be so worried."

"Do as I say, and remember, don’t do anything unnecessary."

Bai Tao quickly agreed.

The next day was Sunday.

Luo Yan practiced as usual.

He intensified his training.

He had started tempering another arm bone.

He has finished ten pieces so far.

A total of 40 pieces tempered.

This pace is not slow.

But he needs to temper all 206 bones.

It will take some more time.

Besides practicing.

Luo Yan also took out a video, watched it repeatedly, and couldn’t stop looking at it.

This is the battle record of the giant beast he will challenge tomorrow.

Code Name: Gao (pronounced like "gow")

Level: middle rank 2.

Type: Caterpillar.

Features: Intimidation, Hovering, Controlling Wood, Swift Movement!

This giant beast, overall looks like a deer enlarged many times.

It had four long horns like those of a gazelle.

Furthermore.

It had front limbs like human arms.

Its hind limbs were like those of a horse.

This allowed it to run quickly on both feet and hands.

It could also stand upright like a human and attack with its hands.

The giant beast’s fur and horns were entwined with blooming vines.

It could control these vines and even the plants in the surrounding environment.

This was due to its ability to ‘Control Wood’.

In addition, it can emit a ‘pressure’ that can directly weaken the determination of Mecha Master, making them lose their spirit, and even consciousness.

It can also briefly hover in the air, changing its trajectory mid-air, catching people off guard.

Finally.

It is very fast, similar to Gluttony.

After all, they both possess the characteristic of ‘Swift Movement’.

This giant beast, used for training by the Surface Exploration Legion, is kept in the mecha training ground behind the Great Lake District.

It seems that it is kept in captivity.

In the training video provided by Wei Fenghua.

The giant beast’s desire to attack is not very strong.

Like this.

Compared to the wild giant beasts Luo Yan encountered.

This ‘Ragnarok’ during battle always gave off a reluctant feeling.

Suddenly it was Monday.

Morning.

The school sent a car to take Luo Yan to the surface.

The school bus was driving on the road.

On the screens of the city’s buildings, Luo Yan saw information about today’s trial already playing.

Especially the battle video of the giant beast ‘Ragnarok’.

It kept playing on the screen again and again.

Luo Yan frowned.

Not quite understanding.

Just a test.

Why advertise so much?

Sitting next to Luo Yan.

Wei Fenghua coughed twice, smiling and saying, "You’re new to the underground city, so you wouldn’t understand."

"Although the underground city has holographic real-time simulations, projecting simulated ground scenery 24 hours a day."

"But it’s still underground."

"Located 300 meters deep underground."

"Living long term in this place without sunlight, even with supplements of essential elements."

"But here…"

Wei Fenghua gently patted his chest, "This place cannot be regulated with medication."

"Living long term in an underground city, people will feel suppressed."

"Emotions cannot be released."

"Over time."

"It will have negative effects on the production of the underground city, and various aspects."

"So, every now and then."

"The underground city will organize similar activities."

"Used to adjust the atmosphere in the city."

"Although people cannot go to the surface."

"But when they see you fighting on the surface, they will empathize deeply."

"They will put themselves in your shoes, cheer for you, cry for you."

"Creating subtle chemical reactions, beneficial for stabilizing their mental state."

Luo Yan stayed silent.

He truly didn’t know.

Turns out, he had been underground for too long.

There are so many problems.

At that moment.

The roar of the engine outside.

Luo Yan looked outside.

He saw several clearly modified off-road vehicles.

Roaring up from behind.

Arrived nearby.

At this moment.

In one off-road vehicle, there was a man with his hair dyed in various colors.

In the morning, Luo Yan stuck out his tongue with a stud, raised his middle finger with a skull pattern, and then threw a smoke bomb!
