The teammates are equipped with Demolition Armor, which appears much lighter and more aesthetically pleasing. It comprises a helt with a movable visor, neck armor, chest armor, shoulder armor, arm guards, elbow guards, gauntlets, abdominal armor, skirt armor, thigh guards, knee guards, shin guards, and tal boots, among others, with parts of the armor removable based on the wearer’s own curios.
This type of Demolition Armor cos in three templates: a simple version, which is equivalent to Light Armor; a half-body version, equivalent to Half-Body Armor; and a full set, equivalent to Heavy Armor.
Whoosh!
Ryan moved his body slightly and picked up the heavy Tower Shield in front of him. It is nearly one and a half ters in length, inscribed with runes, covered with a layer of Refined Gold, and has spikes on the front, adding extra damage during a shield bash.
The physical attributes of Transcendents far exceed those of ordinary people; wearing Heavy Armor is standard for Warriors.
He attached the Purgatory Roar Hand Cannon to his waist. Unlike others’ firearms, his weapon is equipped with a retractable bayonet; while others are automatic, his is single-shot but more powerful.
Within the entire team, Ryan’s equipnt is the heaviest, requiring soone with more than 20 points of strength to handle; otherwise, it would be challenging to move freely.
Ryan put three Rune Grenades in his pocket, checked his equipnt, and ensured the armor had no issues before returning to his spot in the lineup. Their combat team consists of ten people, each with different equipnt. The vanguard carries shields as well, though smaller, more maneuverable instead of Tower Shields. The rearguard provides fire support with the second-generation Purgatory Roar Hand Cannons, which are capable of automatic fire, and wield Dwarven War Axes, as they are strength-type Warriors. In the back, there is a sniper on the Ranger Path, using a sniper rifle modeled after Dorne’s, capable of firing Rune Bullets.
The third batch of trainees is mostly geared up and ready.
Upon the instructor’s command, they passed through the dimly lit corridor of the armory. As a hint of light appeared ahead, they soon saw a Teleportation Array about fifteen ters in diater.
A whirlwind sensation followed.
When Ryan reopened his eyes, he found himself in a filthy marshland. This brownish-green mire obviously hinders movent, and the pervasive stench assaults the senses, resembling asphalt-like tracks spreading in the sewage. In the distance, Ryan noticed clusters of writhing, disgusting, viscous creatures, reminiscent of his diarhetic excrent, approaching upon detecting the intruders.
A competent Warrior must adapt to any combat environnt.
Ryan took a deep breath, resisting the nauseating stench with his will, performing a roll to raise the Tower Shield just in ti to block a blob of corrosive fluid falling from above.
Bang!
A dull gunshot resounded as a distant sli aggregation was instantly blasted into pieces scattered all over the ground.
"You idiots!"
"Conserve your bullets! Your entire squad has just 120 Rune Bullets!"
"Use them all now, and what will you eat next?" The instructor’s roar reverberated, buzzing in everyone’s eardrums.
Ryan’s hand trembled slightly as he re-holstered the drawn Purgatory Roar Hand Cannon and recalled the grueling training mories, fighting hard to move his steps as comrades flanking him raised their shields as well. At the rear of the team, a fellow Ranger said in a deep voice, "Leave these small fries to ."
The Ranger’s pupils dilated slightly, entering a unique ’Eagle Eye’ mode, locking onto the enemy’s core vital points.
Bang!
A shot rang out, the bullet piercing through the sli to hit so Crystal Core inside the creature. That is the core of the half-elentalized life; from the exploded viscous liquid erged a blood-red rock. It’s said that Divine Blood descended from the heavens, turning the land’s rocks into peculiar Blood Rock.
"Stay alive!"
The instructor’s icy voice rose as he waved a hand and turned away without looking back.
Combat is brutal.
He cannot shelter these young pups forever; only through battles of blood and fire can they grow. In the first batch’s combat test, only three died; the second saw so accidents, with seven deaths. He hopes the third batch won’t disappoint, especially since they’re better equipped.
Early trainees didn’t have such comprehensive curios, and so armor was rushed out only after the chanical Heart’s construct factory was complete, with an Alchemy Path Transcendent enchanting a rune layer.
As for higher-tier chanical Armor, only seven sets exist throughout the Half-Plane.
Their cost is exorbitant, requiring Mithril enchantnt and Anti-Gravity Arrays for mobility, or a strength of 30 points for free movent. The chanical Armor is valued at around three million dinars, making the equipnt more precious than lives.
As for the Magic Energy Armor, it seems only a chanically modified Terra Priest has installed a chanical Arm, with it possessing 35 points of strength, easily lifting several tons.
This batch of trainees will only be formally integrated into the Star Realm Army after passing the combat assessnt.
Currently, the chanical Heart’s Transcendents have advanced to the seventh batch. After selecting talent from inside the Half-Plane, they began selecting gifted individuals from the Ring City. Most of the first six batches were on the Warrior Path; starting from the seventh batch, more Wanderer Path and Ranger Path are being trained, with a few talented ones advancing to the Casting Path.
With an improved quality of life, so ordinary people’s strength and constitution are also enhancing. At this rate, as long as they can reach a threshold of 14 points in strength or constitution in the future, they might have the chance to advance as Warrior Path Transcendents.
However, these individuals may not be considered gifted Warriors; they’d likely rely on firearms as their main battle strength.
Cold Weapons combat demands great physical talent; without a strength of 16 points, wielding a Dwarven War Axe is impossible.
Currently, the chanical Heart doesn’t have abundant resources, prioritizing selecting talented individuals for Transcendence. Ordinary folks might have to wait until next year for a chance. Unfortunately, there’s a scarcity of highly educated individuals here; if only so calculus-qualified college students were around, they could be considered for the Casting Path advancent.
A 13-14 point intelligence threshold is nearly the requirent for a qualified university student. Mages don’t need high emotional intelligence, just researchers and scholars of specialized learning fields.
Regrettably, due to insufficient educational outreach, the average intelligence here is about 10 points, with the better ones only reaching 12 points.
Brain developnt from a young age is essential to elevate their intelligence to around 14 points.
