Mechanical Flesh

boom!

The shattered rocks exploded, like pieces of cannonball fragments lasing in all directions.

Like a savage steel chariot, Qi Yuan directly tore apart the sharp rock formations, forcibly grinding out a passage leading to the edge of the stone pillar.

"Such a powerful defense!" Sun Jia was slightly surprised.

He has been at the third level for many years, and as a peak third level, he is very clear about what Qi Yuan's defense means.

Level 3 strengthened defense, facing these rock spurs, it is absolutely impossible to be as rampant as Qi Yuan.

This means that Qi Yuan's defense strengthening is probably not a standardized third-order ability.

For the wilderness refugees, there is not much difference between standard abilities and non-standard abilities, but for the ability users in the shelter, there is an insurmountable barrier between standard abilities and non-standard abilities.

Genetic medicine can make ability users stably awaken standardized abilities, but it does not mean that genetic medicine can completely replace autonomous awakening. The main reason is that autonomous awakening has a certain probability of awakening non-standard abilities.

Nonstandard abilities are usually more powerful than standard abilities of the same type.

More importantly, the synergy between non-standard capabilities and other capabilities is far more powerful than standard capabilities.

This means that the probability of breaking through the fourth level has increased, and it means that there is more hope of entering a higher level.

Sun Jia vaguely felt that he seemed to have guessed the reason why Tan Qiu valued Qi Yuan so much.

Only relying on this non-standard defensive ability, Qi Yuan controls the core ability, and the probability of stepping into the fourth level is higher than others.

If Qi Yuan still has a non-standard ability that can be combined with the defensive ability, even if he only applies for the one-star glory trial in the end and masters the core ability, the possibility of stepping into the fourth level will be more than 50%.

If you can apply for the Samsung Glory Trial, it is almost a 100% success.

The Glory Trial of Blacksteel Shelter is divided into 1-star, 2-star, 3-star, and 4-star from ordinary to excellent. Each star requires different contribution points.

The one-star Glory Trial is the most friendly. It only needs 1,000 contribution points, and most residents of the shelter can redeem it.

However, starting from two stars, the contribution points required for redemption have risen sharply. Between each star, the price has increased by a full ten times. To exchange three-star glory trials, a full 100,000 contribution points are required, which is enough for most third-level ability users. Stay away.

Coupled with the invisible threshold set above for exchanging for the three-star glory trial, even in the Black Steel Shelter, more than 90% of capable users cannot apply for the three-star glory trial.

The two honor trial opportunities that Ke Shoulin promised to Pei Zongyan were nothing more than two-star glory trials. Although Ke Shoulin had a three-star glory trial opportunity in his hand, even if he was the deputy head of the war department, he could not easily give such opportunities other people.

For Sun Jia himself, there is almost no chance of applying for the three-star glory trial, and all his abilities are the standard abilities awakened through genetic potions. The success rate of advancing to the fourth level through the two-star glory trial will not exceed 100%. Thirty.

Failure in a glory trial usually brings about serious sequelae, such as death, loss of control of abilities, and severe pollution. Few people have the opportunity to conduct a second glory trial after failing one glory trial.

Sun Jia, like most of the third-level ability users in the Black Steel Shelter, did not have the confidence to carry out the two-star glory trial. He could only wait for a miracle to happen in the passage of time. For non-standard abilities, you may still have to give it a try. If you still cannot awaken the non-standard abilities that can be fitted, the final outcome is to use other means to advance to a pseudo-fourth level without core abilities.

Therefore, for Sun Jia, a Tier 4 mechanical weapon customized by Tanqiu, although it is not as good as a chance for a three-star Glory trial, is far more attractive than two Tier 2 Glory trials.

Sun Jiamin glanced at Pei Zongyan.

Seeing that Qi Yuan's body crushed the rock spurs, broke through to the next stone pillar unscathed, and left all the other hunters behind, Pei Zongyan also began to seriously examine Qi Yuan, the wilderness refugee named by Ke Shoulin.

"How many non-standard abilities have you seen in this Qi Yuan?" Pei Zongyan asked softly.

"At least two!" Sun Jia sighed.

"His defense and speed should both be non-standard abilities. When combined with each other, even if it is a one-star glory trial, there is a half chance that he will advance to the fourth level and control the core ability!"

"What an enviable talent!" Pei Zongyan said with a complicated expression.

Like Sun Jia, because he relied too much on genetic potions, he did not awaken non-standard abilities, nor did he have the opportunity to apply for the third-order glory trial.

Now, a wanderer in the wilderness actually has two non-standard abilities that can fit each other, which makes the two feel absurdly envious.

"His two non-standard abilities are in the combat domain. This kind of person will be very popular no matter whether he goes to the war department or the wild exploration department. He will soon accumulate enough advanced merits. Tan Qiu will recruit him to the laboratory. , what do you do as an assistant researcher?" Pei Zongyan asked tentatively.

"This is a question that Tan Qiu needs to consider. We trash who dare not even apply for the Glory Trial are not qualified to think about this kind of question!" Sun Jia said self-deprecatingly.

Pei Zongyan was silent. Sun Jia was right. To a certain extent, the two of them are indeed wastes in the Black Steel Shelter. If they can't become the fourth-level masters of core abilities, they will be eliminated by the shelter sooner or later. Although the shelter will not directly clean up the official residents, there is a unified cleaning method for the eliminated people, that is, expatriation.

All the outcasts who were sent out into the wilderness never returned to the sanctuary alive. For the sanctuary's residents, this was another form of exile.

Although the lifespan of human beings in the new era has been greatly extended, and the average lifespan of ability users below the fourth level has reached a hundred years, there are almost no P3s over 50 years old in the Black Steel Shelter.

All shelter residents who are over 50 years old and whose authority level is below P4, except for a very small number of people, will basically receive a special assignment work order on the first working day after their 50th birthday.

For the pseudo-fourth level, P4 is a hurdle that cannot be crossed. Most of the pseudo-fourth level will fall outside this threshold. If you want to cross the threshold of P4 with the strength of the pseudo-fourth level, the success rate is better than passing the one-star glory. Trial promotion to the fourth level is even lower.

The shelter not only has a relatively perfect social order, but also has the law of the jungle where the weak prey on the strong. Those who cannot keep up with the progress of the shelter are destined to be eliminated.

Thinking that once Qi Yuan entered the sanctuary, he would most likely step into the fourth step in a short period of time, Pei Zongyan finally couldn't keep his inner peace, and the jealousy was like a weed, and the madness spread in his heart.

If Qi Yuan is allowed to gain a firm foothold in the sanctuary, he will definitely take revenge on me crazily!

A waste like me who can hardly advance to P4, once I lose the value of being used, I will definitely be kicked away by Ke Shoulin. I have no one to protect me. I can't stop Qi Yuan's revenge at all. Qi Yuan was pushed into the wilderness.

"Your heartbeat has accelerated by 50%!" Kou Haitao turned his head, stared into Pei Zongyan's eyes, and said expressionlessly.

"I know what you're thinking, but I want to warn you, don't cause trouble for me. I don't want to provoke Ke Shoulin, but that doesn't mean I dare not deal with you!"

"Don't break my bottom line, or I will make you regret it!"

Pei Zongyan raised his head, with a ferocious expression on his face. Under Kou Haitao's persecution, he took a deep breath, and then nodded with a gloomy expression.

Sun Jia also noticed the change in Pei Zongyan. As a coward who didn't have the courage to gamble on the second-order glory trial, he was very clear about the reason why Pei Zongyan's mentality was suddenly out of balance.

In fact, there was a trace of jealousy in his heart, but it could be stabilized temporarily. After all, he was still young, and he still had more than twenty years to wait.

Just when the three of them had different thoughts, Qi Yuan, who was flying past the five stone pillars, finally had a head-on battle with the insect beast entrenched on the sixth stone pillar.

Apart from Qi Yuan, the fastest wilderness hunter has just stepped on the third stone pillar, and Qi Yuan is the only one who rides the best!

A fierce nightmare with three tails, the moment Qi Yuan stepped onto the stone pillar, he swung his tail and launched an attack.

Above its three tails, black flames burned, almost melting the rocks below it into magma, and the terrifying high temperature visible to the naked eye enveloped the entire range of the stone pillar.

Roar!

The fierce nightmare let out a low growl at Qi Yuan who was charging, and swung his three tails suddenly, changing into a series of flaming black tails tens of meters long, frantically whipping towards Qi Yuan, as if setting the whole sky on fire .

Bells!

Qi Yuan made an evaluation silently in his heart, those insects and beasts were not even qualified to stop themselves if they were not at the peak of Tier 3.

Seeing the huge black fire pillar pressing down on his head, Qi Yuan didn't change his face, facing the black fire with its tail changing, he punched out suddenly.

boom!

The violent power erupted suddenly, shattering the black flames in an instant, and an incomparably ferocious aura soared into the sky, causing the black flames scattered all over the sky to stagnate, as if suppressed by invisible forces.

Since acquiring all the second-level talent points and raising all the first-level abilities to the second level, Qi Yuan has never had a chance to make a full-scale attack. Now that the fierce nightmare is blocking the way, Qi Yuan has unscrupulously fired with all his strength for the first time.

After the black fire pillar was shattered by a punch, the nightmare roared angrily, and the black flames all over his body instantly rose up, and his whole body turned into a burning fireball.

Qi Yuan swept like flying, and within a few tens of meters, he came to the front of the fierce nightmare in a few steps.

Facing the burning enemy, a cold light flashed in Qi Yuan's eyes.

"Get out!"

Qi Yuan let out a low shout, clenched his right hand into a fist, and suddenly punched the fierce nightmare's head.

The energy control was activated instantly, and the moment the entangled black flame touched Qi Yuan's fist, it directly collapsed into streams of shattering flames, revealing the frail body of the fierce nightmare.

Although the worms in the elemental domain are physically stronger than the ability users in the elemental domain, they are still inferior to the fighting domain. After being controlled by energy and stripped of the protection of the black flame, the defense of the nightmare is worse than that of ordinary third-order worms.

Under Qi Yuan's ruthless iron fist, Ji Yan didn't even have a chance to struggle, and was directly hit in the head by a punch

boom!

The fierce nightmare's head, together with the burning black fire, was crushed by Qi Yuan, and the black fire all over the sky gradually dissipated. Qi Yuan didn't even stop running, and rushed directly to the edge of the stone pillar, then jumped high and headed towards the stone pillar. The next stone pillar leaped away.

The moment Qi Yuan left the stone pillar, Nightmare's shattered head suddenly condensed, its eyes flickered fiercely, and it stared at the Wilderness Hunter behind with an extremely irritable look.

Pei Zongyan held his hands tightly, and in less than two minutes, Qi Yuan even connected six stone pillars!

Even a thorny beast like the Fierce Nightmare couldn't make Qi Yuan stay for a while, and his strength had completely surpassed him.

Even Ke Long may not be able to pass the six stone pillars in front of him so quickly in a crushing posture.

What surprised him even more was that Qi Yuan didn't show too much ability now, just relying on defense and speed, he easily crushed the six stone pillars in front, and he didn't even use a weapon.

Without his own obstruction, with Qi Yuan's current strength, he could pass the examination without any hindrance and step into the Black Steel Shelter.

In the wilderness recruitment at the gathering point, there are often some freaks with powerful talents, but most of them enter the shelter and get a lot of resources before they gradually show their glory.

The Qi Yuan in front of him is still in the process of assessment, and he has already shown his sharpness.

In the past assessments, no wilderness refugee had ever been able to crush the six stone pillars in such a short period of time.

Even the few young people in the military who have been trained with great potential have only this kind of strength.

One side is the regular army under the influence of various resources, and the other side is the refugees struggling in the wilderness.

Pei Zongyan was almost sure that with Qi Yuan's strength, once he broke through Ke Shoulin and Feng Qian's obstruction, he would definitely soar into the sky.

If Qi Yuan passed the assessment and entered the Black Steel Shelter, he would definitely face his revenge.

The stronger Qi Yuan is, the more dangerous he is.

Without Ke Shoulin's protection, Pei Zongyan would not have any confidence to survive Qi Yuan's revenge!

Seeing Qi Yuan sweeping across the seventh stone pillar again with a crushing attitude, Pei Zongyan's face became more and more ugly.

Sun Jia's face was also expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking.

Only Kou Haitao had a gleam in his eyes. As a mechanic who passed the trial of a walker, he could see it more clearly than Sun Jia and Pei Zongyan.

Sweeping all the way, Qi Yuan has already demonstrated four powerful non-standard abilities. This kind of powerful potential is almost visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, Kou Haitao felt that he might have guessed why Qi Yuan became the center of the vortex where several big bosses wrestled.

Pity!

Kou Haitao shook his head silently in his heart.

If there hadn't been this change, with Qi Yuan's potential, once he stepped into the Black Steel Shelter, he would definitely become a key cultivation seed, and neither the War Department nor the Exploration Department would let this kind of potential stock go.

But now, with Feng Gan and Ke Shoulin staring at him, it is almost impossible for Qi Yuan to grow up safely.

Although Tan Qiu is a fourth-level researcher, compared to the other two, her background is still too shallow.
