Chapter 214: A Test Filled With Traps
Translator: Ash Editor: Millman97
After two hours.
342 examinees stepped onto a giant lift and continued to advance deeper into the ground.
The lift was like an enormous tallic disc which relied on anti-gravity array glyphs to silently move in the darkness.
The stabilizing array glyphs at the edge of the disc flickered with weak blue light, illuminating the terribly tired and haggard faces, one after another.
Even if the examinees were powerful cultivators, operating their brains at super high speed continuously for a dozen hours had made them sowhat exhausted.
The examinees were divided into two distinct groups.
340 examinees sat at the edge of the enormous disc, forming a huge ring.
While at the center, there were only two examinees.
They were none other than Li Yao and Jiang Shaoyang.
The monstrous performance of the two had shocked everyone. Everyone could not help but maintain a certain distance from the two unconsciously. They were afraid that they would interrupt the duel between the two monsters.
It was as though two T-rex from billions of years ago stood facing each other, while no other creature dared to stand between the two.
In a mont, a brilliant flash blurred everyone's vision.
Finally, the lift broke through the veil of darkness and sank a kiloter below the ground.
A grand and magnificent scene ca into everyone's sight, making everyone hold their breath.
They'd entered an incredibly vast underground stalactite cave.
As they raised their head to look, countless stalactites hanging down the hundreds of ters high roof covered their vision.
When they looked downward, all they saw was pitch black darkness; they simply couldn't see the bottom.
As they looked around them, the cylindrical stalactite cave was over a kiloter in diater and its walls had been artificially excavated into thousands upon thousands of caves.
It was a hive. This place looked like the interior of a huge steel hive.
And they were but the smallest ants.
Even the enormous lift looked like a lonely boat after having entered the stalactite cave. All around them, countless shiny tallic discs were flying; giving the picture of a busy life.
"This is the strength of our nation!
"Only by mobilizing the strength of tens of billions of citizens of a nation can make it possible to build such a vast and magnificent world under ground!
"Only with this kind of power can we compete with billions of demons and devils in the endless cosmos!"
Li Yao sighed with emotion. While he'd co to experience his own insignificance, he also felt deeply proud for being a citizen of such a powerful country.
The disc slowed down and flew towards the wall shining with a tallic gloss.
Two firefly-like specks of light floated up from deep within the underground and flew next to the disc.
The speck of lights were two soldiers with tallic wings attached to their backs.
The two soldiers each held a magical equipnt that released a red light which covered the entire disc.
"Beep! Beep!"
A dazzling red light suddenly turned into a warm green light; the identification of everyone had been verified.
On the walls, the entrances of hundreds of man-made caves were sealed by huge, tallic doors which, at this mont, silently slid open.
The enormous disc rose and fell, all in accordance with the roll number of the examinees; delivering everyone to their corresponding cave.
Li Yao drew a long, deep breath and strode into his own cave before the tallic doors behind him closed slowly.
The final round!
Li Yao looked around the cave with great curiosity. He was quite familiar with the furnishing inside the cave. It was a repair workshop, and at the back, there was also a small refining room as well as a warehouse. It was small, but it had everything.
"Beep! Beep!"
The exam crystal processor displayed a ssage, displaying the topic's details of the practical exam, according to which the examinees had to repair a puppet warbeast to 90% of its battle force using the facilities in the repair workshop and the raw material from the warehouse within 24 hours.
"A maintenance-type task?"
Li Yao bead with joy, was the task custom-made for him?
At the corner of the workshop, sothing small was covered with a tarpaulin. As Li Yao uncovered it, he was dazzled.
"Mystic Wolf?"
The puppet warbeast was quite similar to the "wooden oxen" that Li Yao had repaired in the small mountain village a year ago. It was controlled by artificial intelligence implented in a crystal processor, giving it the ability to operate autonomously.
The Mystic Wolf was a puppet warbeast that was manufactured by Wolves Valley thirty-three years ago.
And it was purchased by the army in large numbers because of its excellent design and high performance.
This kind of puppet warbeast was created using bionics. It was designed with reference to many wolf-type and leopard-type demon beasts' appearances and characteristics. With its narrow, streamlined, and agile body, it could adapt to multitudes of complex terrains. It was especially suitable for fighting in plains and jungles, even if it was on a steep mountain, it could climb quite easily.
The Mystic Wolf belonged to a light warbeast category, with a length of 1.56 ter and a total weight of 156.33 kilograms. Two light crystal railguns attached to either side of its body. Additionally, a flying sword launcher could also be attached to its abdominal region that could fire twelve mini-flying swords; greatly enhancing its long-range firepower.
In addition, at the end of its limbs, vibro-claws built using a super alloy were respectively installed. Its jaw that was filled with steel teeth had extrely high bite force, and a flathrower was also installed in its throat which was driven by fla array glyphs and could project a long stream of fire with a temperature of over a thousand degrees; it was capable of reducing the enemies into ashes in the blink of an eye.
The Mystic Wolf had two modes of operations.
It could be remotely controlled by soldiers or cultivators.
One could also enter a general objective beforehand, such as "patrol
