Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan immediately thought of the Ghost Title associated with Hurricane Thunder. Only that Ghost Title could hold such immense value, compelling Hurricane Thunder to even consider relinquishing all his spoils.
But was this a joke? How precious was a Ghost Title? For a Mechanical Warrior, it was akin to a third-rate, no-name individual suddenly learning the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, Ling Bo Weibu, the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon, and the entire set of VIP platinum skills like the Star Absorption Technique. Additionally, it came with free gifts like a charm for attracting romantic interests, an invincible artifact for three times the effectiveness, and a myriad of other absurd rewards that seemed to defy logic.
Only a fool would give it back!
Was Lin Yuan a fool?
Of course not. Even though the Main Forum of the Ninth Training Base was filled with waves of cheers and thousands of Target Students were eagerly waiting for Lin Yuan to make a grand gesture and passionately declare, "Friends should be treated as warmly as a furnace! If you are in need, I will help you; if you are anxious, I will be anxious too…"
Wasn't that nonsense?
"I'm sorry, Octopus Man, but I'm afraid I have to disappoint you. The best loot I obtained from the last Year-End Exam is the Thunder Fury Sniper Rifle currently slung over Mr. Hall's back. I believe Seventh Base is after this item. However, we all know that the ownership of this blue-light quality Sniper Rifle is no longer in my hands. So discussing this with me is pointless. Of course, if you're willing to hand over the decision-making power to me, I wouldn't mind helping."
At this moment, Lin Yuan wasn't being foolish either. Since Octopus D dared to play such tricks with him, he decided to stir the waters himself. It was just a matter of creating public opinion. He wasn't an idiot; he could handle this well enough. Thus, he relayed these words directly to the Main Forum because Octopus D had no idea what loot Lin Yuan possessed. If he tried to argue that it wasn't Thunder's Fury at this point, it would only diminish his credibility.
However, as a Level 15 Tactical Analyst, such tactics might not work on him. Lin Yuan even suspected that Octopus D had already deduced what Hurricane Thunder wanted to exchange for. Therefore, it couldn't be ruled out that Octopus D also intended to muddy the waters while putting Lin Yuan in a precarious position so he could benefit later.
But Lin Yuan didn't care about any of that. For now, due to being temporarily detained, he couldn't leave the Training Base for three years. Even if Octopus D and his group wanted to act against him, their chances were slim and time was still on his side!
If they had the guts, let them come!
Lin Yuan didn't linger any longer or give Octopus D a chance to explain. He turned to leave when Alder stepped forward and blocked Lin Yuan's arms and legs with his massive Mechanical Body.
"I'm sorry, Papaya, but you've guessed wrong. Seventh Training Base isn't after Thunder's Fury; otherwise we wouldn't be so stingy. They know very well that the missing item is with you. So your arguments are futile unless you're brave enough to conduct a comprehensive data analysis in front of all the Target Students from Ninth Training Base. Are you willing?"
At this moment, Octopus D spoke leisurely as if implying that no matter what Lin Yuan did, there would be no escape.
"Ha! What a joke, Octopus D. Listen up, I don't care about your pretentiousness. Now, I'll give you two free pieces of advice: first, don't bother me; second, please roll away smoothly!"
Lin Yuan laughed in anger. Before his words could fade, his Mechanical Body sprang up from the ground. As expected, Alder immediately swung a massive slap aimed at Lin Yuan, intending to pin him down.
The sheer size of Lin Yuan's Mechanical Body, combined with its remarkably agile reflexes, meant that Alder's slap could completely block all of Lin Yuan's escape routes! Moreover, it contained multiple follow-up attack variations. After all, Alder's title as the King of Fighters wasn't just for show; it wasn't merely due to his size either. His rich fighting techniques were unmatched in the Ninth Training Base, and that was no exaggeration!
However, Lin Yuan was not someone who played by the script. In terms of fighting skills, he could never hope to match Alder! There was no way he could rely on any other method to dodge or counter that slap!
Thus, without a moment's hesitation, he drew out the Ghost Spear and swiftly aimed for a joint connector on the side of Alder's Mechanical Arm, thrusting it with all his might!
This was clearly a foul play because in the Ninth Training Base, students could engage in fistfights and brawls—trading punches until they were nearly knocked out. In a designated arena, using weapons for combat was also acceptable.
But using highly lethal weapons in other areas was strictly prohibited—like Energy Cannons or Sniper Rifles. For instance, when Lin Yuan shot through Titan 1109's chest last time, it was considered a severe violation, resulting in him being thrown into solitary confinement for ten months by Snow Wind Instructor. It was a dreadful experience!
At that time, Lin Yuan swore he never wanted to experience such punishment again!
Yet now, faced with the situation at hand, Lin Yuan completely ignored all of that. In other words, he would rather break the rules than be bullied into submission!
In an instant, Alder's reaction speed was equally impressive. The moment Lin Yuan drew the Ghost Spear, Alder noticed immediately. His massive Mechanical Arm transformed from an open palm into a hardened fist. Naturally, he was known for his aggressive and combative nature; seeing Lin Yuan dare to break the rules meant there was no need for courtesy. As his first fist came crashing down with a whoosh, the second and third fists followed in quick succession! They completely sealed off all of Lin Yuan's escape routes; if he got hit, he would end up as nothing more than mashed potatoes with onions and soy sauce!
Indeed, his reputation was well-deserved!
Lin Yuan was startled by this and finally understood the gap between them; it felt like a toddler challenging Mike Tyson!
Without any hesitation, Lin Yuan abandoned his original offensive strategy and instantly activated the Ghost Strike ability from his Ghost Title.
At this point, hiding his abilities was futile because it wouldn't be long before someone exposed that he possessed the Ghost Title. Since that was the case, he might as well leave everyone with a profound and unforgettable memory right now!
“Ghost Strike, consuming one ten-thousandth of Soul Fusion Degree, activates the ghost characteristic, increasing the Civic Induction Transmission Rate by %, Intellect computation speed by %, and the power output of the Energy Engine by %. This effect lasts for ten seconds.”
In other words, this characteristic allows Lin Yuan to react more swiftly and flexibly, with a sharper mind and a more explosive force. Although it lasts only ten seconds, that is more than enough, as what Lin Yuan needs is just a difference of 0.00001 seconds!
“Energy Engine, overclocking output by 00%, rotating the core, y-axis reversing at 97 degrees with rapid 100 rotations, and the axis moving forward at 45 degrees with rapid 760 rotations!”
Whether it was a stroke of genius or some other divine inspiration, in that instant, a rapid and simple data stream surged through Lin Yuan’s Intellect. He felt as if it were an illusion, highlighting just how fast this fleeting data stream was. At that moment, he had activated Ghost Strike, increasing the Civic Induction Transmission Rate by %. To describe it in terms of light speed would be to say it was traveling light-years in mere seconds; such sensitivity could hardly capture the sudden appearance of this data stream!
However, at this moment, Lin Yuan had neither the time nor the inclination to ponder where this mysterious data stream originated. He instinctively began to act according to its guidance.
Miraculously, with the aid of the Waist Rotation Core, Lin Yuan’s Mechanical Body shot out like lightning, evading Alder’s nearly unavoidable heavy punches!
He even brushed past the edge of that terrifying steel fist!
Those watching closely could only see how inexplicably Lin Yuan’s entire Mechanical Body suddenly separated and rotated, resembling a Dragonfly. First leftward, then rightward, he effortlessly dodged the lethal threat!
But this was just the beginning!
From within Lin Yuan’s Mechanical Body, a pair of massive Alloy wings unfurled. With a powerful flap, they seemed to pierce straight toward Alder’s vital point—the location of his Energy Engine! Quick and fierce, with the terrifying Attack Power of the Ghost Spear, if this thrust succeeded, it would undoubtedly inflict severe damage on Alder. After all, even the Dark Demon Race couldn’t withstand the thrust of the Ghost Spear when caught off guard!
However, Alder was indeed a true elite. He had already entered full combat mode in an instant; all his tracking systems—Auditory Radar and Intellect—were locked onto Lin Yuan. As soon as that fierce thrust was unleashed, he immediately generated a Gravity Barrier. The 80-fold expansion of the Gravitational Field erupted suddenly. While this field could not stop Lin Yuan’s terrifying thrust, it could at least delay him for 0.0001 seconds. Without even needing to use his weapon, just four Iron Fists could obliterate Lin Yuan.
Yet at that moment, Lin Yuan’s agile wings flipped unexpectedly. Simultaneously, his two mechanical legs activated their Anti-Gravity Propulsors, propelling his entire mechanical body like a meteor in the opposite direction!
Although formidable, Alder’s gravitational field emanated from his core; thus its expansion had its limits. For a brief moment, it became the very force propelling Lin Yuan in reverse!
As for where that reverse thrust was aimed—not at anyone else but at the most crucial figure within the Mechanical Lion Knight Order Branch: the level 15 tactical analyst, Octopus D!
This was the true target that Lin Yuan wanted to torment!
Because whether it was Alder or Hall, even if Lin Yuan launched a surprise attack on them, it would only cause them some minor losses, nothing significant at all!
However, since he would inevitably offend the Mechanical Lion Knight Order no matter what he did, why not go all out?
At worst, he could just be confined; did Lin Yuan still fear any other punishment?
This thrust was completely unexpected for everyone; it simply did not conform to the principles of strategy!
Even Octopus D, a Level 15 Tactical Analyst, could not have predicted that such a terrifying disaster would occur at this moment!
At this point, neither Alder nor Hall had time to come to the rescue.
As for relying on Octopus D, that was a joke; he was just a fragile intellect-focused character. At this moment, all he could do was scream as if he had been violated!
This moment was destined to be the most painful, the most eternal, filled with scars and tears!
The Ghost Spear, with a diameter of three meters, pierced through like it had been smeared with cosmic lubricant!
The screams echoed throughout the Main Forum of the Ninth Base!
Everyone was stunned!
They had to be stunned; never before had the three key figures of the Ninth Base been so brutally pierced as if they had been violated by a Super Large spear!
Everyone even forgot what had happened just a moment ago; in their minds swirled a beast of despair!
“Octopus D was actually stabbed to death…”
“Stabbed to death, huh!”
“Colorful flowers are dancing everywhere…”
“…”
No one remembered how Lin Yuan managed to pull out that terrifying and fierce spear; in fact, it didn’t matter anymore. The automatic warning System of the Ninth Training Base had already activated on time, with an error margin of less than a second. Countless barriers of forbidden light sealed off Lin Yuan, Alder, Hall, and the wailing Octopus D.
“Warning! High alert! You have violated Security Regulation No. 45 of Ninth Base. From this moment on, you have the right to remain silent. However, if there is any further resistance, the alert level will continue to escalate, and you will bear all consequences!”
…
It was truly a stroke of luck; Lin Yuan couldn’t help but give this security System eighteen thumbs up. Just a moment ago, Hall was about to pull the trigger on Thunder's Fury. At such a close distance, there was no way for Lin Yuan to dodge; one shot would turn him into dust!
But now, he had no chance left! (To be continued.)
