King of the Stars [Rebirth]

In just one month, the jungle in the distance has once again become luxuriant, vines and weeds have covered the path stepped by giant beasts, the high temperature brought by the binary star system has caused the scattered dead beasts to quickly decay, and the appearance of scavengers has brought A new biological chain cycle was established, and large beasts also began to appear in the nearby valleys.

However, even an ecosystem like the Desolate Star cannot eliminate the impact of the nuclear explosion. The trees fell down, the soil was scorched, and no creature was willing to stop here.Around that terrifying pit, only a barren and dead silence remained.

A black shadow passed through the scorched earth and ran towards the deeper jungle.Contrary to his body shape, his movements are quite agile, and the intertwined tree roots, hanging dead vines, and dangerous and hidden death quagmire are all easily left behind.In just a few minutes, he came near the col.This is where the sword-backed beasts gather.

As one of the most dangerous beasts in the wild star, the sword spine beast is more than 12 meters long, and its back is covered with sharp bony spurs. It can easily penetrate the hard alloy shell of the landing craft with its bite force alone, coupled with its agile speed and extreme strength. With a strong sense of combat, even a mech knight would not dare to provoke such a beast easily.

However, that shadow didn't mean to go around. With a few quick bounces, he climbed up the towering giant tree beside him, and quickly hid his figure under the dense canopy.After a few breaths, heavy footsteps sounded, each step could cause the earth to tremble, and the treetops rustled, as if the entire jungle was trembling under the threat of death.

The black shadow didn't tremble, instead, he began to move on the branches, like those primitive and huge cats, without making a sound.When the sharp bone spur appeared in the middle of his field of vision, he suddenly jumped up, and the buzzing particle light knife directly cut into the back of the giant beast.

The reflex nerves of this large terrifying beast are not well developed, and the ferocious attack did not turn into pain, but the sword spine beast still roared. No creature dared to challenge its majesty, let alone such a creature with a body length of only 3 meters Many little ones!Its body swayed violently and slammed into the giant tree beside it!

With a bang, the trees as thick as several people were broken by the middle, and the branches and leaves were flying, billowing thick smoke and dust. However, the black shadow hanging on the sword-backed beast was not thrown off, but jumped up swiftly, and the light knife cut into the giant The bone spur on the back of the beast.This thing is so hard that even a particle light knife can't cut it with force, but the short dagger is not a single blow, but flashes into a phantom, cutting the same point continuously.Nothing could resist this high-level technique, and the bone spurs cracked and broke apart!

This is one of the most important weapons of the sword spine beast. The root of the scale armor is connected to the sensitive nerve belt of the spine. The giant beast jumped up in pain, its long tail roared and swung, trying to kill this damned beast. The bugs were driven down, but the enemy was more nimble than it expected. It grabbed the falling bone spurs with a sweep of its long arms, and with its toes on the back of the giant beast, it leaped high!

With the momentum of wind and thunder, the bone spurs wedged into the neck of the giant beast, which was much deeper than the particle light knife, and viscous plasma gushed out.The figure didn't stop, and jumped up again, stepping hard on the top of the bone spur with its right foot!With a soft puff, the exposed part also fell into the scales, and the force of the fall did not stop, bringing the huge body directly to the ground.

Few creatures are immune to such an attack.After twitching twice, the sword-backed beast stopped moving.

Everything happened very quickly, in less than 2 minutes, everything was settled.In the distance, there were chaotic roars and footsteps, which were the sound of a large group of sword-backed beasts moving.Without the intention of staying, the black shadow took out the particle light knife again, cut a piece of meat two people high in the belly of the sword-backed beast, packed it in a sealed bag, threw it on his shoulder, and ran away along the same road.

Ten minutes later, the door of the spacecraft opened again. Yan Beichen threw the meat in the sealed bag into the food processor, opened the door of the mech, and jumped out.

This was the third hunt this month, and it was also the first time that he did not use any special skills at all, and relied purely on physical skills to complete the hunt.After more than a month of uninterrupted training and the irrigation of medical nutrient solution, his physical skills finally began to grow steadily, and he has the ability to pilot a C-level mech.At the same time, the learning of virtual reality and the training method of detectors have also made great progress in mental power. Even if Qi Hai is not stimulated, his various mental power indicators have begun to enter the B-level, and the strange performance in terms of strength does not seem to be the same. It does not weaken the sensitivity and flexibility of the spiritual power, but makes the connection between the spiritual core and the sea of ​​​​qi closer.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for Yan Beichen.Of course, it's not good enough. In the remaining one and a half months, he still wants to break through another level.

"You can use laser weapons to deal with the sword-backed beast." A voice came from the empty cabin, it was hard, and it was obvious that some "people" did not agree with his idea.

Yan Beichen ignored the electronic tone, and directly ordered: "Set twice the gravity, and the training time will increase by a quarter of an hour. If I pass out, use the medical cabin."

The other party did not follow orders, but quickly retorted: "You are a soldier, extra physical training will not enhance your mental strength, it will only damage your body."

In the past few days, the increase in mental power has indeed reached a plateau.For this slowing down of growth rate, Yan Beichen adopted a rather simple and rude method, increasing the intensity of exercise, draining himself completely every time, and then relying on meditation to stimulate the two power cores to make the binary system in the body work again.However, this also caused his body to frequently overload, and the medical warehouse began to play a real "medical" role, not just maintenance.

Naturally, this kind of training method makes artificial intelligence quite ugly, and the situation of non-violent non-cooperation has been on the rise again these days.It has to be said that after getting along for more than a month, Yan Beichen gradually figured out the "weakness" of this electronic partner.

"What Mr. Campbell needs is not just a mecha." He replied calmly, "Otherwise, a mecha without a central control core would not be developed."

Of course, he was referring to his experimental model A077, which looked like a battle armor. Now he gradually understood what Master Campbell wanted.

"A077 is just a test product, not Mr. Campbell's ultimate goal." The artificial intelligence retorted coldly.

"That's right. Of course his ambition is not limited to this." Yan Beichen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "He wants to subvert the design principle of the mecha and break some limits."

As soon as these words came out, the electronic sound disappeared immediately.Yan Beichen knew that he had guessed the key.

These days, in addition to studying in virtual reality, he also does other things.For example, get news from the eldest lady of the Lennart family.It was purely accidental to meet a "Lennart" in class, but the little girl named Bernice was unexpectedly not annoying, and she had a standard "soldier" demeanor-focused, strict, and arrogant , and don't care much about worldly affairs - without much effort, he got the information he wanted.

Twenty years ago, there were some power disputes in the Lennart family. For some reason, the flames of war spread to several masters under the banner, resulting in some "casualties".No one knew the details, and it ended with the escape of Master Ensai.And Master Campbell didn't even leave his name, and was completely obliterated directly.

No one knows how they escaped, but this incident obviously changed the fate of many people, and also changed Master Campbell's design style. A077 is likely to be a test product born on the way to escape, and this is far from his ultimate goal.What he needs is not "change", but "subversion", an existence that shocks all soldiers.

Yan Beichen couldn't guess the extent of his final experimental results, and he couldn't imagine the role of "Dimensional Stone" in it, but it was clear that Master Campbell needed more than just "Soldier" as his successor. However, Yan Beichen couldn't just complete the "mental strength level A" standard.He needs to be better prepared.

The cabin fell into a brief silence. Yan Beichen didn't wait for the electronic voice to speak again, and walked straight to the gravity room.

"Bernice, you must take part in this assessment. I will find a way to form a team with Nisrock, and with your preparations, our chances of winning will be even greater." In the beautiful flower hall of Lennart's house, the gentle and elegant The noble youth whispered.

"Odds? Brother, your ultimate goal is not a mere final exam, is it?" The long-haired girl sitting next to the young man sneered, "I said that I'm not interested in that Oswald. Senior soldiers are My goal is not to be someone's wife."

These words put a layer of frost on that handsome face: "He is not 'a certain' nobleman, but the youngest son recognized by the Grand Duke himself! Have you ever thought about what kind of political bargaining chip this is for the Lennart family? "

"Then, have you thought about how it would affect the Lennart family if he failed and was assassinated by his 'good brothers'?" Bernice is not interested in politics, but that doesn't mean she has no interest in politics. No understanding.

"Nisrock is different." Cyril shook his head, "I can see his ambition, and I know his strength better than ordinary people, but now we have too few chips in our hands to impress that person. Boni Si, even if it's not for these things, don't you want to prepare mechas for the strongest knights this year? For a soldier, this is a great honor..."

These words made the girl slightly shaken, but there were still other concerns that could not be ignored.Because they are both of noble origin, and there are gender differences between soldiers and knights, the Federal Military Academy does have a tradition. In the competition, soldiers and knights in the same group are very likely to enter into a marriage contract and become lifelong companions.This is not only the political needs of the two families, but also the best choice for the two professions to match. With the mecha as the core, establishing an intimate relationship is itself an extremely romantic thing.

Therefore, in the history of the military academy, there have been many couples.It's just that there has been no direct blood marriage at the level of Oswald and Lennart for hundreds of years. After all, not every term can have such a "double genius" miracle.

However, when she thought of the cold and arrogant face of the young master of the Oswald family, Bernice frowned. She didn't like such a guy. No matter how powerful or handsome he was, he was not enough to attract She gave "marriage".

Of course, Cyril didn't miss the wavering on his sister's face, and immediately pursued the victory: "This kind of matter is not up to me. If Nisrock doesn't nod, this is just a pure cooperation, and there is no other possibility."

These words were a bit aggressive, and Bernice glared at her brother: "It's better to say the same as you said."

After saying this, she put down her teacup, and strode out unceremoniously.

Watching the slender figure disappear at the gate of the courtyard, Cyril sighed. Having such a sister who has no ambitions and focuses on mechs is a bad thing as well as a good thing. At least there is one less enemy to compete with him for the family throne.But such a rare opportunity, he is still unwilling to give up.With the support of this year's first soldier, I believe Nisrock will not refuse outright.That guy was a knight after all, and any real knight would never ignore the role of a soldier.

But... His handsome eyebrows were slightly frowned, and the situation reported by that boy Levin didn't sound very interesting.Another genius soldier appears and is still on good terms with Bernice?He didn't want this boy from a commoner who appeared unexpectedly to interfere with Bernice's campus life.Find a way to get rid of this burden...

After thinking for a while, he knocked on the communicator beside the table, and soon, a humble figure appeared on the crystal screen, and Cyril directly ordered: "Find some students with outstanding mental strength, I'm going to arrange a Challenge, you must stay by Bernice's side in the last few days, and don't let her notice this."

The person in the crystal screen nodded in trepidation, and Cyril nodded in satisfaction and turned off the communicator.

On the other side, Levin let out a long sigh of relief, and the humility on his face disappeared.Finally let him wait for the opportunity.How could a wealthy family like the Lennart family tolerate an unknown kid approaching him.That transfer student may indeed have some talent, but for the five major families, this little cleverness is not enough.

A cold smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and Levin turned on the communicator again. He still had some "entertainments" to prepare.
