Chapter 635: Chapter 184: Play with Me Quickly_2
This is not the highlight of the show.
What truly excites Ning Zhuo is the six Mechanical Arms on the back of the Heavy Armor.
He infuses his Divine Sense, attempting to control them.
Immediately, the Mechanical Arm located in the upper left side near his left shoulder springs into action.
With a series of crisp ‘clangs,’ the Ancient Bronze components within the Mechanical Arm interact, and with Ning Zhuo’s Divine Sense, the entire arm begins to sway and stretch.
Ning Zhuo tries to extend this Mechanical Arm in front of himself, then has it open its fingers, constantly maneuvering Finger Techniques.
Initially, the movements of the arm and fingers were very stiff, sometimes the force was too strong, causing the Ancient Bronze fingertips to cast shadows, whistling through the air.
Ning Zhuo’s mastery over Mechanical Techniques is profound.
After all, he has dedicated himself to the practice of these fundamental skills since childhood.
Thus, after half a cup of tea’s time, he stands still, and the six arms on his back are already flailing freely.
The fingertips could also be flexibly controlled, the motions no longer jerky but smooth as if they were human.
However, the arms would occasionally interfere with each other, creating disturbances.
Another moment passes.
The frequency of these disturbances and collisions greatly diminishes.
Ning Zhuo gradually achieves coordinated operation among the six arms. Of course, the speed couldn’t be too fast, as the faster it gets, the easier it is to make mistakes, with the arms “fighting” against each other.
Ning Zhuo starts moving, utilizing the Mechanical Heavy Armor to execute the most basic close combat maneuvers.
Bang.
He rams his shoulder into a boulder, and the next moment, knocks the elephant-sized stone to pieces.
Bang bang bang.
He then throws straight punches with his eight arms toward the front.
His fists are like the wind, getting faster and faster, the shadows of the fists whirling as if in a ferocious storm.
And the boulders and trees that became his targets were knocked over and smashed to bits. Dust and debris swirled, with broken stones and snapped branches flying everywhere.
“Oh oh oh!” Sun Lingtong in the Mechanical Dragon has been watching Ning Zhuo closely, his eyes shine with light as he sees this scene, bubbling with excitement.
And Ning Zhuo, immersed in the practice, is filled with joy.
Suddenly, a gleam flashes in his eyes, as he senses a key point within the Mechanical Heavy Armor.
He tries to infuse Mana and control a certain Talisman with his Divine Sense.
The next moment, all eight of his arms are enveloped in a golden Buddha Light. The Buddha Light covers the arms, dyeing them golden yellow and greatly enhancing their defense.
Then, the Arrays on the arms are also activated, increasing the speed of every punch Ning Zhuo throws.
Last, the Talismans on his shoulders consume a great deal of Mana and come into effect, casting out beams of Silver Moonlight.
The radiance of the Silver Moon clings to each punch, forming silvery moonlit fist shadows.
The number of fist shadows dramatically increases!
Ning Zhuo’s eight arms look as if they were cast from solid gold, and the Silver Moon fist shadows between them number in the hundreds.
Buddhist Technique—Vajra Body Protection.
Martial Array—Zen Wind Flying Fist Formation.
Buddhist Technique—Moonlight Salvation Skill.
The three techniques merge to create the Mechanical Technique—Golden Moon Zen Wind Fist!
Fist shadows fill the sky! Eight golden arms like massive pillars, resembling dragons and serpents, amidst countless layers of silvery moon fist shadows, dazzling to behold.
Under the cover of the fist shadows, all vegetation and rocks are reduced to dust.
Yet there is no longer the bang bang of smashing sounds, but a series of gusts of wind.
“Zen Wind Fist, the name truly fits.” Once Ning Zhuo unleashes this Mechanical Technique, his Divine Sense captures the related information, thus learning the name of the technique.
“Oh oh oh oh!” Sun Lingtong inside the Mechanical Dragon jumps up; he can’t sit still any longer, seeing such a dazzling offensive, he feels even more excited.
“Cool, so cool! Quick, Little Zhuo, let me have a go, let me try it!” Sun Lingtong eagerly communicates through Divine Sense.
Behind the visor, Ning Zhuo’s lips have already curled up into a smile.
Hearing Sun Lingtong’s urging, Ning Zhuo suppresses the smile at the corner of his mouth and replies with Divine Sense: “Boss, this is no mere plaything. Time is limited, I have to properly test out this Mechanical Armor.”
“When there’s a chance later, when we have time, I’ll let you play with it.”
Sun Lingtong pouted, hugging her arms, looking unwilling: “Hmph, Little Zhuo, don’t I know you well enough?”
“You guy, even daring to brush off your leader like that…”
“But forget it, I’ll let you off this time.”
“You must let me have a go at that Mechanical Armored Suit after this battle is over!”
Ning Zhuo quickly responded: “Cough cough, boss, you’ve got me all wrong. Don’t worry, when there’s time, I’ll definitely let you play with the armor!”
Ning Zhuo gave repeated assurances, barely pacifying Sun Lingtong.
He continued to immerse himself, testing the Mechanical Armored Suit, finding many amazing uses for its capabilities.
It wasn’t until dusk that Sun Lingtong reminded Ning Zhuo, who then smacked his lips: “Time really flies!”
“Oh dear.”
“The Hundred-Armed Arhat Armor has led me astray!”
“It’s all because it’s too fun… Ah, it’s too important, I need to get used to it and take control as soon as possible.”
Sun Lingtong stomped her feet: “You’re indeed playing with it, aren’t you! Hurry, go back to the camp, hand over the Yugang Armor to the Three Generals Camp.”
“I will study this Hundred-Armed Arhat Armor properly in the Mechanical Dragon for you!”
Reluctantly, Ning Zhuo took off the armor, squeezed into the Ten-Thousand-Li Travelling Dragon, handed over the armor to Sun Lingtong, and didn’t forget to instruct: “Boss, be careful.”
“Don’t play too rough with the Mechanical Dragon, the armor’s capabilities are extraordinary.”
Sun Lingtong also got close to the Mechanical Armored Suit, her eyes shining, replying perfunctorily: “I know, I know!”
Seeing her like this, Ning Zhuo was worried: “Just don’t break it.”
Without turning her head, Sun Lingtong waved her hand dismissively: “Go, go take care of your proper duties.”
With a clenched jaw, Ning Zhuo looked back reluctantly, only to see Sun Lingtong had already eagerly squeezed into the Mechanical Armored Suit.
“Sigh, the boss is quite a bit older than me but still loves to play so much, her playfulness is too much!”
Ning Zhuo, with an emotion of ‘hating iron for not becoming steel’, controlled the Ten-Thousand-Li Travelling Dragon, traveled through a stretch of void, and returned near Mulu Town.
He emerged from the Mechanical Dragon, returned to the Three Generals Camp, and found Liu Er to inform him of the good news about the armor.
Liu Er was overjoyed and quickly inquired about the details.
Ning Zhuo briefed him succinctly.
Liu Er, learning that Ning Zhuo had already been working, activating the Ning Family to manufacture military equipment, couldn’t help but admire: “The strategist lives up to the name, possessing such foresight.”
And learning that it was a Nascent Soul Level Cultivator who delivered the goods, he internally remarked: Ning Zhuo must hold an extraordinary status within his clan to be able to dispatch a Nascent Soul Level cultivator.
“Next, we will use the Iron Skin Armor Technique, please allow me to observe,” said Ning Zhuo, still muttering about the Hundred-Armed Arhat Armor, but these were serious matters he still needed to tend to.
They came to a tent, where Liu, Guan, Zhang, three generals, had already gathered some elite soldiers.
In front of each man, a set of heavy armor was distributed.
“Begin.” Liu Er commanded.
The elite soldiers, with solemn faces, each held a dagger and hurt themselves ruthlessly.
The Iron Skin Armor Technique is a magic that starts with skinning the recipient completely.
The cultivators in the tent, almost all of Foundation Establishment Cultivation, silently cut off and peeled away their own skin without uttering a sound.
Soon, each of these thirty-odd men was laid bare with their flesh exposed, even their scalps were removed, which looked particularly horrifying.
Then, they began to don the heavy armor placed before them.
The icy, burdensome armor stuck to their flesh, causing the cultivators to groan in pain.
As the Iron Skin Armor Technique was officially employed, the armor started to penetrate into their bodies, tightly entangling with their fresh and bloody flesh, melding as one.
During this process, the pain intensified, causing many cultivators to be unable to bear it and scream out in agony.
Most cultivators managed to maintain the magic, but a few who couldn’t withstand the pain discontinued their spellcasting.
The next moment, Liu, Guan, Zhang, swiftly lent their help, casting the Iron Skin Armor Technique on those few cultivators, ensuring the continuous fusion of their flesh with the armor.
Eventually, the screams subsided, and in the tent filled with the smell of blood and iron, over thirty armored men were either kneeling or lying on the ground, with only one standing steadfast.
This certainly sparked the interest of Liu, Guan, Zhang, and Ning.
Zhang Hei asked for this man’s name, and he replied with a resonant voice: “This humble man is Chen Zhi, I pay my respects to the three generals and the military strategist.”
