Chapter 122: Chapter 25: Selling the Daughter for Glory (Second Update)
In the Black cha, Xu Mo’s gaze grew more intense as he entered the optimal combat state.
“Boom.” The cha’s energy jets fired, swiftly sliding forward, War Saber held horizontally, slashing diagonally.
In this way, it was very difficult for the opponent to dodge with slight movents.
But just as Xu Mo’s arm swung out, the silver cha didn’t dodge at all, it didn’t even retreat but instead advanced towards him.
The high-speed sliding cha suddenly stopped its forward motion, but the silver cha suddenly accelerated forward.
The two chas were misaligned.
The left arm of the silver cha struck the right arm’s shoulder of the Black cha, directly distorting Xu Mo’s movent and stopping the War Saber.
“Bang…” Xu Mo was knocked back once again.
Both exchanges were identical.
In the past, it was Xu Mo who did this to others.
Now, it was others doing it to him.
What was more terrifying was that the other cha was unard.
Xu Mo took a deep breath.
He charged forward once again.
This ti, the silver cha also ran towards him.
Not sliding, but running.
The unstoppable montum made Xu Mo feel as if he wasn’t facing an elderly man, but a hero charging on the battlefield.
Xu Mo’s movents were quick, maintaining extrely high precision and sensitivity even while piloting the cha.
But this ti, everything seed to malfunction.
He was being completely overpowered.
The silver cha hamred him repeatedly, forcing the Black cha to retreat again and again, taking countless punches.
And he, had not landed a single hit on his opponent.
A total massacre!
Accompanied by another loud noise, Xu Mo’s cha fell down, sprawling on the ground.
In the cha’s control room, Xu Mo stared blankly at the ceiling.
Could piloting a cha really be this terrifying?
He thought he was already quite strong in his cha skills.
But at this mont, he started to doubt himself.
Could it be that the level of those in the Underworld was so weak, so abysmal, that it gave him the illusion of strength?
In reality, was his own level very poor?
Beside him, Ye Qingdie and Xiao Qi were also stunned.
Especially Xiao Qi, who gaped at the fallen Xu Mo.
Brother Mo was his idol, invincible in battle.
Now, he was being bloodily massacred!
It was too awful.
He had never imagined Xu Mo could be defeated so miserably.
This elder, was sowhat monstrous.
They saw the elder erge from his cha.
Xiao Qi and the others watched him intently.
He still looked like an ordinary old man, nothing special, dressed in plain clothes, with short hair, looking to be about sixty years old.
But it was this unremarkable old man who had defeated Xu Mo.
Using the cha that Xu Mo was proud of.
Xu Mo got up from the ground and walked out of his cha.
He looked at the old man with increased respect in his eyes.
“Old sir,” Xu Mo called out, asking, “Is my cha level really that poor?”
“Above the passing line,” the elder said casually.
This actually made Xu Mo feel relieved.
Even Xu Mo himself found it sowhat unbelievable; he had always thought he was strong.
But after being massacred, he doubted life and thought maybe he was weak.
Now, hearing the elder say it was passable, it seed not so bad.
“Old sir, why is your cha so powerful?” Xu Mo curiously asked.
The gap was just too big.
He didn’t know how many hits he had taken, but he didn’t land a single one on the opponent’s cha, and Xu Mo knew what that ant.
“This is a First Generation cha, what is the core of controlling the First Generation cha?” the elder asked Xu Mo.
Xu Mo looked thoughtful.
Proficiency in cha? Combat skills?
“Please enlighten , old sir,” Xu Mo said humbly.
“It’s the human,” the elder replied. “The First Generation cha operates on a motion capture system, where every command of the cha is executed by capturing human movents. The strength of the person determines the strength of the cha, and that was the original intent behind the design of the cha.”
“However, as tis progressed, chas beca more advanced, even controlled directly by brain waves, but they lost the soul of the cha. Only the First Generation cha represents the purest form of a cha.”
“Isn’t technological progression ant to enhance control and increase the power of the cha?” Xu Mo wondered aloud.
“But it also lost a lot,” the elder replied. “The focus is all on the strength of the cha, with decreasing demands on the controller, gradually forgetting so things. Few cha Masters are willing to work hard to develop their own potential anymore, their focus mostly on the level of the cha.”
“A cha is a machine, humans are the fundantal, humans dominate machines, not the other way around, even without a cha, one can still fight, not like now, once the cha is damaged, one is at others’ rcy,”
The elder looked at Xu Mo and spoke, “A true cha master can transcend generations; with sufficiently powerful weapons and propulsion, even a First Generation cha can defeat any modern advanced cha.”
“Even without a cha, a chanical Master can still shatter armor with their strength!”
Xu Mo felt deeply respectful after hearing the elder’s words.
This was a being who defied versions.
Even Xiao Qi and the others were listening intently.
Xiao Qi stared at the elder, although he didn’t understand.
But it seed very impressive!
“Old sir, how can one develop their own potential?” Xu Mo asked.
“All human strength is derived from Source Power; besides absorbing Source Power, to delve deeper into developing one’s innate potential, one must attentively feel the presence of Source Power, feel its flow within the body, feel every part of your body, and learn how to command it.”
The elder looked at Xu Mo, who squatted down and placed his hand on the ground.
The elder placed his palm on the ground, and without any apparent force, he simply pressed down.
When the elder lifted his hand, Xu Mo’s pupils shrank as he stared at the ground.
There, a handprint had appeared.
Xu Mo hadn’t even felt an intense flow of Source Power when the elder completed the gesture and left a handprint on the ground in an instant.
What would happen if it were imprinted on a person’s body?
The elder stood up, “Besides sensing Source Power, mastering better control over one’s body, one can also continually fight to break personal limits. Only when you can one day break cha with your flesh, can you be considered to have truly achieved sothing.”
Xu Mo felt a sense of longing, wondering what it would be like if one day he could break cha with his body.
“Study hard. There is much for you to learn at the academy, such as combat skills,” the elder advised, placing his hands behind his back and walking away.
“How should I address you, old gentleman?” Xu Mo asked.
“At the academy, just call teacher,” the elder said casually.
“Teacher, take care,” Xu Mo said.
The elder departed.
Xiao Qi muttered to himself, “What’s the background of this old guy? He seems very formidable.”
“He must be the owner here,” Xu Mo said.
Lin Qingze brought him here, perhaps not as a casual act but rather a deliberate one.
This elder is certainly no ordinary person.
“He might be a B-level or even B ,” Ye Qingdie suggested.
“B?” Xu Mo thought of Benjamin and then looked down at the handprint.
It’s likely, more than that!
…
While Xu Mo and the others were enjoying a quiet cultivation environnt,
outside, it was incredibly lively.
The opening ceremony of the Eight Extraordinary Colleges was being broadcast live, seen by countless in Steel Do City.
Lin Qingze, the acting dean of Noah Academy, suddenly ran away while presenting a certificate to Ming Hui of Ming Group, an incident that attracted considerable attention.
Subsequently, reporters learned from the academy that this might be because Noah Academy had detected an A or even A level student.
However, it was not disclosed.
Becoming even more curious, people wanted to uncover the truth.
What was Noah Academy hiding?
Who exactly was this new student, and why did Lin Qingze abandon the graduation ceremony just for him?
Many speculated that, compared to A, the mysterious new student’s Source Power Fusion Degree might likely be A .
Only then would Lin Qingze give it such significant importance.
This sester, the Eight Extraordinary Colleges had previously had only two A students appear.
One at the World Noble Academy and one at Nanming Academy.
Noah Academy, had a third appeared?
Many were curious to know who this mysterious student was.
Ming Hui also wanted to know, having beco an unwitting backgrounder.
His Ming Group had spent a billion Federation dollars, not a small amount.
And yet, Lin Qingze had thrown down the certificate and run off.
Ming Hui’s feelings could only be imagined.
Of course, the most curious person was not Ming Hui.
It was Sun Fatty.
Sun Fatty spent no less than Ming Hui.
At that mont, his heart was pounding nonstop.
He had seen the news.
All over Steel Do City, people were talking about the mysterious A student at Noah Academy.
But Sun Fatty had a premonition.
It’s more than A !!
He hadn’t heard of any academy directly providing housing before an A new student even joined.
And it was the acting dean Lin Qingze who had asked him to arrange this, and insisted on strict confidentiality.
This wasn’t just A, this was indeed S!!!
Sun Fatty’s feelings could only be imagined.
Noah Academy had concealed an S-level big shot.
No one knew.
“Dad, why haven’t you left yet?” Sun Xiaoxiao hopped over, not knowing why her dad wanted to see her.
“Xiao Xiao,” Sun Fatty looked at his daughter: “Have you heard about the mysterious student at your academy?”
“Yes,” Sun Xiaoxiao nodded. “Everyone’s talking about it.”
“Keep an eye out, see if any outstanding new faces show up at the academy, aside from those two who were publicly revealed,” Sun Fatty advised.
“Dad, when did you beco so gossipy,” Sun Xiaoxiao pouted.
“Xiao Xiao, rember, if you find him, you must beco good friends with him,” Sun Fatty said.
That would be S after all.
The concept of S, how often does one appear in Steel Do City?
“Good friends?” Sun Xiaoxiao’s eyes darted around.
“Yes, very good friends, the boyfriend-girlfriend kind would be even better,” Sun Fatty said.
The dowry was already provided anyway.
“Sun Fatty, you’re selling your daughter for glory,” Sun Xiaoxiao glared at Sun Fatty. “How could I have you as my father, just for an A , really?”
“Just listen to your dad this ti,” Sun Fatty said, it’s not just A!
“Okay, okay, I know,” Sun Xiaoxiao said, turning and waving her hand: “To beco good friends.”
“Just rember that,” Sun Fatty instructed.
To find an S-grade son-in-law, the Sun family would surely prosper.
