Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high! Chapter 578: 454 Level 8 Specialist!

Passing by Rose, who was severely injured from a high-altitude fall and crawled on the ground, Bai E controlled the ch to gently squat down. With two large fingers, he carefully lifted her up from the ground and placed her back in the cockpit, which was battered and exposed to the elents, before he went to pick up the final fragnt that had originally belonged to the W0721 ch but now was needed by himself.

The engraving on the right shoulder of the ch—W0721.

A ship called Theseus was nearly replaced in every component during its years of service. Could this entirely new ship still be called the Ship of Theseus?

The sa could be said for the ch.

Every ti it was heavily damaged, it needed a large amount of new material to replace and fill in.

So how should a ch that had been endowed with a ch spirit lock onto its proper place?

W0721 had no ch spirit.

But a link existed between W0721 and Bai E.

Bai E had always been curious about how this linkage should work.

He didn't know the exact answer, but the omnipotent Spiritual Energy brought him an almost intuitive certainty.

As the W0721's shoulder insignia was set in place, Bai E could feel his consciousness instantly spread throughout the entire ch.

The discomfort of manually piloting the ch just monts ago vanished in an instant, replaced by the absolute confidence as natural as controlling one's own limbs.

In the flash of a thought, the formidable Spiritual Energy spread out from Bai E as its center.

Through the transformation of the linkage, a power more suited for a chanical body wound through the ch like a spiritual snake.

The many minor issues left over after the battlefield's rapid repair were instantly renewed under the self-repair function of this chanical power.

Like an invisible spirit light swiftly sweeping over the ch's body, the ch that had been patched up and stood up again from a battered state now once again radiated a reliable confidence.

A pale blue barrier, purely generated by the chanical power, took the place of the original transparent window in the cockpit, which was made of expensive material comparable to an eight-elent alloy, and also sealed off the hot and stenchy wind blowing in from outside.

"Be careful, the guards are very capable of learning; they are evolving through battle," Rose said weakly in a corner of the cockpit as she tried to secure herself and quietly tipped Bai E about the experience they got from destroying chs.

"I know."

While observing the battle, Bai E did not just clear up the lower-level Bug Race mbers, but he also kept a vigilant eye.

The guards' slow movents evolved from futile chasing at first to later having patterned predictions and combo attacks.

The evolution obtained through combat was evident, and even though Bai E hadn't completely engaged with them, he knew how troubleso these creatures were.

Swinging the combat blade in his hand, the ch surged forward like a proud dragon.

Even facing four opponents alone did not instill much fear in Bai E at this ti.

The endless Spiritual Energy supported his constant expenditure, skills like Absolute Defense, the Blade of Magic, and Dance of Lightness were fully activated. Through the linkage transformation, they beca chanical power to exhibit the sa effect in a way that was suited for a chanical body.

The ch leaped high into the air, and the massive alloy combat sword ca crashing down.

Even as the guard, which resembled a giant ape, raised its arms to block, the combat sword easily evaded and accurately targeted the neck of the guard beast.

"Puchi!"

The blade cut three inches into the flesh.

After imbuing the standard combat sword with the effect of "High-Frequency Cutting" using the Blade of Magic, Bai E's combat sword could, much like the cutting-edge creations held by the chanical Court chs, effectively attack the bone armor of the giant beasts.

And the bone armor on the bodies of the guard beasts was not uniformly hard everywhere. For agility in movent, many of the armor's joints and limb connections had to be compromised in strength.

When it was utterly impossible to breach the defenses, it was all the sa; but the mont there was any ability to penetrate, selecting the point of impact beca crucial.

[As the pilot of the basic Titan-class armored ch, you used a proficient weapon attack and hit the target, "Expertise—chanical Rhythm" experience 1.]

[You caused 30 points of slashing damage to the target!]

[Current "Expertise—chanical Rhythm" experience 230/2000; at 2000 points, you can master "Expertise—chanical Rhythm (5/7 level)".]

[Based on the effect of your attack, you obtain the following information——]

[Bug Hive Guard (Bug Race): Health 19350/20000; Defensive Power: 1000; Attack Power (Type: Blunt) 1000~1200; Traits: Behemoth Template, Trait: Diamond Chitin Armor, Trait: Symbiotic Weapon—Rending Claw Blade; Mobility: 100%...]

[Rending Claw Blade: Crafted with a special Diamond Chitin structure, even among the special material structures of the Bug Race, this is extrely rare. The seemingly short claws can rend anything! Be careful! Don't get hit head-on by it!]

The pair of short claws near the head of the guards were their real trump cards. Bai E knew the horror of these weapons the first ti he saw them, and in this battle, because they were often outnumbered, they seldom had the chance to use these symbiotic weapons.

With a single strike, Bai E did not linger for glory; he withdrew his sword and left.

Facing the onslaught from three Bug Hive Guards at once, staying in one place was simply courting death. Only by keeping himself mobile could he continue to entangle with them.

The massive ch moved as agilely as the most dexterous human, darting ghost-like between the three "Bug Hive Guards."

These behemoths, akin to giant apes, had unstoppable speed when they charged from a distance, and their powerful impacts were capable of destroying everything.

After the "special training" by other ch pilots, their hamr-like arm attacks beca noticeably quicker in altering strikes.

But the huge figures still had their fatal flaw—if the attack involved frequent and unpredictable changes in position around their bodies, they could never keep up.
