CH 53

Chapter 53 – Where did this Level 2 Come From?!

“It’s internal structure is far more complicated than I imagined it to be …” Lu Sheng’s spiritual power probed into the mechanical puppet’s body. After carefully studying it for a while, he quickly lost interest.

He abruptly released the fists of the two mechanical puppets he was holding.

The two mechanical arms, that had been in a state of conflict between the program instruction and mechanical execution, finally reached their limit under the sudden release which caused an overload in the circuits of the puppet.

With a “crash”, a mechanical arm was directly torn off from one of the puppet’s shoulder joints.

“His strength is almost on par with a Level 2 Martial Artist …”

Lu Sheng did not need to turn his head to know what was happening behind him. Naturally, he was aware of Lin Shaoyu’s miserable state.

He did not know what was wrong with that fellow’s brain, to actually dare to learn from him and fight against two Level 2 Mechanical Puppets head on, where did he get his confidence from?

“Let’s try defending again.” The mechanical puppet that had lost an arm did not seem to have any intention of stopping. It continued to raise its remaining arm and smashed down fiercely at Lu Sheng.

But to Lu Sheng, the attack was a bit too slow.

Lu Sheng only tilted his head to the side, and he easily dodged the arms of the two mechanism puppets.

Then … He punched out.

Boom!

This punch landed heavily on the chest of one of the mechanical puppets. The thick alloy chest let out an ear-piercing sound of steel rupturing, and then it quickly caved in.

Bang!

A large cluster of sparks burst out.

A large hole appeared on the back of the mechanical puppet, and a fair and powerful fist came through it.

Lu Sheng casually pulled his fist out of the puppet’s body and blocked another puppet’s attack while he was at it.

The red light in the eyes of the nearly two-meter tall mechanical puppet flickered for a moment before gradually extinguishing. Then, it swayed and fell down, letting out a dull thud.

Boom!

The group from Qingyuan City, who were still standing at the entrance of the passageway, had a huge emotional shock and trembled violently.

It was too terrifying.

This was the only thought they had for Lu Sheng.

Seeing how Lu Sheng easily dealt with the two mechanical puppets, the youths suddenly recalled what Lu Sheng had said earlier.

“Beasts tread alone, while cattle herd together.”

Compared to the current Lu Sheng, these people who were trembling in front of the mechanical puppets were indeed like a herd of frightened cattle.

Lu Sheng’s upright, tall, and lean figure, quickly became imposing in their eyes. Clearly, the other party was only a youth about the same age as them.

Bang!

Boom!

…

A series of loud noises reverberated in the narrow passageway, and the eyelids of the youths couldn’t help but twitch.

Monster!

The youths couldn’t find a more suitable word to describe the figure in the distance. Looking at the mechanical puppets that had fallen to the ground like scrap metal, the hearts of the youths were wailing.

This was a genuine Level 2 Mechanical Puppet!

Level 2!

Not Level 1!

It wasn’t a half-finished product, either!

Evidence could be found just by looking at Lin Shaoyu, who was lying on the ground in a near-death state.

In Lu Sheng’s hands, these impenetrable existences were as fragile as scarecrows stuck in a wheat field.

At this moment, these youths from Qingyuan City, who had been praised by countless people as geniuses, monsters, but they finally began to see reality.

They finally understood what kinda of existences these actually geniuses and monsters were like.

Why did they have to let mere mortals like them be in the same training camp as these monsters?

Mom, I want to go home!

…

Lu Sheng knocked down each and every mechanical puppet in front of him one by one. With his spiritual power, he could inspect the internal structure of these mechanical puppets, and easily find the core of each mechanical puppet.

Then attack their weak points.

It was very easy.

He didn’t even need a second hit to knock down each mechanical puppet. Just as Lu Sheng crushed the skull of a mechanical puppet, his expression suddenly changed.

He could clearly “see” that, in front of the passageway, there was a figure rapidly approaching him. Lu Sheng’s eyes lit up slightly, and a look of anticipation appeared on his face.

“Has the second test finally begun? You’ve made me wait for too long …”

…

At the same time, a handsome youth with a mole hidden in his left eyebrow was rushing through the passageway. He held something that looked like a remote control tightly in his hand.

There were more than ten buttons on the remote control, and above each button was a corresponding green light. At this moment, the ten green lights on the remote control in the youth’s hand were rapidly turning red one after another.

In just a few minutes, more than eighty percent of the green lights turned red. Looking at the blinding red lights, the youth’s face filled with anxiety.

“Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! What’s going on?! Why are all the mechanical puppets malfunctioning all of a sudden? Didn’t they that just arrive? …” The youth was burning with anxiety.

As the person in charge of this passageway, not only was he responsible for the safety of the youths, but he was also responsible for the wear and tear of the mechanical puppets in the passageway.

Generally speaking, as long as the mechanical puppets were not completely damaged, everything would be fine.

How much could a group of kids who had just reached the standard of a Level 1 Martial Artist damage a Level 2 Mechanical Puppet?

Was that even possible?

Even if they used all their tricks and knowledge, they would probably only be able to break the paint on the mechanical puppet’s outer shell.

Therefore, the youth was relieved and hid at the side for a while, preparing to come out and save the day when it was about time.

After all, the real purpose of this assessment was to crush the arrogance of this group of so-called “top geniuses of Dongning Province” so that they would remember and suffer some physical pain.

However, he did not expect that the remote control in his hand would start flashing crazily right after he had dozed off for a while.

More than ten mechanical puppets had malfunctioned and had broken down.

Just thinking about the cost of a mechanical puppet …

Fuck! I can’t afford it even if I sell myself!

Thinking of this, the youth’s footsteps quickened. Finally, he reached the end of the passageway.

From afar, he saw a lean and handsome youth boy amidst a pile of scrap metal, slowly pulling his arm out of a mechanical puppet’s chest.

When the youth noticed his arrival, he did not look surprised at all. Instead, he looked excited. His crystal-clear eyes gradually glowed, and there was a burning desire to fight in them.

“You’re finally here …”

The youth’s expression was a little confused.

His gaze fell on the mechanical puppets that were in a terrible state, and his mind went blank for a moment, losing the ability to think.

His heart began bleeding. Suddenly, a gust of wind sounded in his ears. The youth’s hair stood on end, and he instinctively retreated.

Then, a young figure leaped high in front of him.

His figure blocked the light from the top floor of the passageway, casting a shadow on his face. All the youth could see was a pair of burning eyes filled with anticipation.

“Come, guardian of the second test, I hope you won’t disappoint me.”

The youth was confused.

When did I become the guardian of the second stage? Also … Where the fuck did this second test come from?
