Chapter 58 Injection
"Bang!"
In the quiet room, a metal box was opened by Qin Tianyi.
In the box was a green tube less than ten centimeters long and a specially made large syringe.
X-01 Power Armor!
A pioneering experimental bio-mechasuit that has ushered in a new era.
No data to draw on, no injection experiment, no prior experience...
Looking at the green mechanical armor in front of him, Qin Tianyi's expression was filled with solemnity.
Apprehensive and hesitant, he had already been forcibly thrown out of his mind before entering the quiet room.
"My current spiritual power level is only 1.9! It's still 0.1 away from the Spiritual Master standard of 2 that I estimated!"
0。1！
Although it is only 0.1, it is a distinction of boundaries.
Even a spiritual practitioner with a higher spiritual level is still just a spiritual practitioner, and even a spiritual master with a lower spiritual level is still a spiritual master.
It's just like a swordsman and a swordmaster, even if the true energy inside a swordsman is thicker than that of a swordmaster, in a head-on confrontation, it's impossible for a swordmaster to be his opponent.
One uses gaseous true energy, one uses liquidized true origin.
This is a difference in quality.
Just like ten kilograms of eggs can't break one kilogram of steel no matter what.
"X-01 mech suit, can only be injected by a spiritual master. My current spiritual degree is still below 2, the danger of injection is extremely high. The only hope is the evolution level of 'No. 2'!"
The soul chip evolution level of the spiritual master is two, with analysis ability, computing power and auxiliary ability far beyond that of the spiritual energy soul chip.
Qin Tianyi's soul chip "Number Two" evolution level is third-level!
Even more so in the evolution level of the spiritual master's soul chip.
At that time, Qin Tianyi was ejected from the Moonlight and fell, his physical body was destroyed, although his soul was preserved. However, according to theoretical calculations, with this star coming from the all-pervading pressure of the universe, his soul had no chance of reincarnation at all.
A few seconds of disconnection will be crushed into powder.
But he succeeded!
Under the protection of "No. 2" which had evolved into level two at that time, it could exist for as long as 177 seconds.
This is not his own ability, but an auxiliary function carried by the soul chip.
Currently, facing the X-01 type mech, under normal circumstances, he naturally would not be able to inject it successfully.
But...
"Number two! Normal mode startup!"
"Ding! Host's mental endurance is insufficient, normal mode startup will cause severe weakness, even spiritual damage."
"Launch!"
"Drip! Normal mode starting..."
"Hiss!"
Even if the spiritual degree has increased from 1 to 1.9 compared to before, and the stability of the spiritual world has also been improved due to the cultivation of the "Star Map" tempering technique, at the moment when No. 2 was normally started, Qin Tianyi still felt that his brain seemed to have been suddenly emptied by No. 2, with waves of intense weakness transmitted from the depths of his soul.
"Establish task, inject X-01 mech armor, initiate penetration fusion!"
Enduring the wave of weakness in his spiritual world, Qin Tianyi immediately took out the X-01 mech suit that had been activated in the alloy box and injected it into his skin, aiming at his brow.
"Initiating X-01 Power Armor injection sequence!"
"Drip! Host's spiritual intensity is insufficient, unable to penetrate and merge! Unable to penetrate and merge! Please stop the injection!"
As the prompt sounded, Qin Tianyi could clearly feel the X-01 bio-mechanical armor injected into his brow, like a dead object, lingering in his brow.
"Number Two! Forced Fusion!"
"Drip! Command confirmed, forced fusion, penetrating..."
The already barely-started No. 2, after using the forced fusion function, immediately made Qin Tianji's spiritual world crack, and the starry sky that originally appeared in his spiritual world from time to time would flash, but now it seemed to have completely extinguished, reverting back to the state before he had cultivated the Star Chart Refining Spirit Technique.
"Hurt to the very core!?"
Qin Tianyi's face changed slightly, and he immediately understood the situation he was facing at this moment.
"Too hasty! My current mental state is simply insufficient to sync with the X-01 bio-mech suit!"
However...
But Qin Tianyi did not have a choice.
And also, no regrets for his own choice.
"If stardust is dim, I will rekindle it!"
As soon as the idea was born, the spiritual power that had been violently consumed in the spiritual world suddenly compressed into a small range to its limit, and then burst out again, turning into twinkling stars all over the sky.
Under the rendering of these starlights, the originally thoroughly dimmed starlight sparkled again, and Qin Tianyi's slightly unstable spiritual world stabilized once more.
"Drip! Forced osmosis fusion in progress... Fusion progress 1%... 2%..."
Finally, at this time, "Number Two" brought good news in his mind.
However, when he saw the progress of fusion and compared it with his own mental exhaustion at this moment, his face changed instantly.
"My mental endurance can only support up to 71% to 72% of fusion!"
The X-01 biological mech suit is not like saying 71% fusion can exert 70% of its power, either the fusion is successful or it fails, there is no such thing as 70% fusion.
"My current mental strength is simply not enough to support a smooth integration."
With a solemn expression, Qin Tianyi's dark pupils had a hint of stardust, and soon became extremely calm.
Calm down...
With an air of ferocity!
"The Star Chart Refining Technique is infinitely more brilliant than the Ice Clear Refining Technique. After only a month of meditation and cultivation, my spiritual world has become even more stable, with a hint of an impending transformation. My spiritual power has been continuously purified, advancing to higher levels of energy. And as for my spiritual gauge, it's risen from 1.6 to 1.9 in just one month, a full 0.3 increase! With such a profound refining technique, my soul chip has evolved to the third level, surpassing even the Spiritual Masters. I refuse to believe that I still can't fuse with an X-01 bio-mech suit, something that any Spiritual Master can easily do!"
Confidence!
Self-improvement!
"Rumble!"
After completing a visualization, Qin Tianyi disregarded the intense spiritual consumption, and the spiritual power in his spiritual world continuously gathered, compressed, and exploded...
……
Outside the courtyard, Qi Lingyun, Kong Mo, Wei Qing, and Wu Zhen Tian, four great swordsmen, were all quietly waiting, waiting for that one thread of hope to sprout in Yunlai Sword Sect.
At this time, the disciple Tang Liang who was guarding outside suddenly walked in and said in a low voice: "Elder Qi, people from Taoyuan Gate have arrived."
"Tao Hua Men?"
Upon hearing Tang Liang's words, it wasn't just Qi Lingyun, but also Wei Qing, Kong Mo and Wu Zhen Tian who simultaneously opened their eyes.
"Could it be that Taoyuan Gate really had something urgent and didn't intentionally plan on relying on Xuanling Sect?"
Zi Lingyun thought for a moment and hastily said: "Please come in quickly."
"No need to trouble the Cloudy Sword Sect's people."
As soon as Zilingyun finished speaking, a voice had already come from outside. It was Taoyuanmen's great swordsman Dongping, the master of the gate Dongyuan, and another great swordsman-level elder Xiaoyan.
"What is this..."
I thought Peach Garden Gate had figured out the pros and cons of things and was going to return to their alliance, but seeing several people rushing in directly, it's clear that's not the case...
"I won't waste any more time, Kong Mo, Wu Zhen Tian, Wei Qing. I've already contacted the Xuanling Sect and reached an agreement. The Xuanling Sect has made a guarantee that as long as our Taoyuan Sect submits to them and offers 50% of our sect's annual income as tribute, we can put the past conflicts between our two sects behind us."
The great swordsman Dong Ping glanced at the representative figures of the four major sects present and spoke bluntly.
"Really!?"
The second-rate sect itself has to pay 30% of its income to the Great Xia Dynasty, and if it pays another 50% of its income to the Xuanling Sect, then only 20% will be left for their own sect. 20% of the income is completely a drop in the bucket for a sect, and I'm afraid it's hard to guarantee even daily expenses.
"Hum! Dong Ping, since you've already made amends with the Xuanling Sect, what are you doing here looking for us? Are you trying to be their spokesperson? You're barking up the wrong tree!"
The younger sister of Wei Qing, the leader of the Xianxia Sect, was killed by the Xuanyuan Sect. They have made up their minds to fight against the Xuanyuan Sect to the end. As for Taoyuan Gate, which has defected to the Xuanyuan Sect, they will no longer be polite.
"Heh heh, don't you all still have some faint and unrealistic hopes in your hearts? The Xuanling Sect has seven great swordsmen and one sword master-level expert. Not to mention the Northern Peak who has advanced to the Sword Master realm, just the seven great swordsmen from their sect alone are enough to take down the Taiyin Pavilion, Yunlai Sword Sect, Leishen Temple, and Xianxia Sect. And let's not forget about the Northern Peak, a sword master-level expert who can intimidate all eight directions. Which of the other second-rate sects would dare to form an alliance with you against the powerful Xuanling Sect? I believe everyone here is very clear that if you continue to oppose the Xuanling Sect, it will only lead your own sects down the path of destruction."
To the side, the master of Taoyuan Gate, Dong Yuan, nodded slightly and said: "Everyone should understand that any county should have a first-rate sect to dominate the entire county's sect world. In the past, our Wanxia County's sect world didn't have a Sword Master, nor did it have a first-rate sect, so each sect was self-governing, attacking and killing each other. But now, Beiyue has broken through to the Sword Master realm, and Xuanling Sect has become a first-rate sect, unifying the entire Wanxia County with its identity as a first-rate sect. This is the trend of the times, any stubborn and ignorant sect that blocks this trend will be crushed into powder..."
Dong Yuan's words were cut off before he could finish, as Wu Zhen impatiently waved his hand: "Don't spout meaningless nonsense, speak! What is the purpose of your Taoyuan Sect coming here?"
"Alright! As expected, the Old Master of Wuzhen is a straightforward person. In that case, I won't beat around the bush. Actually, Beiyue Swordmaster has always been concerned about the development of our sect in Wanxia County and worried that large-scale killings would cause a significant decline in the overall strength of our sect, allowing other states and counties to take advantage of us. He plans to give you a way out! As long as you can contribute 60% of your sect's income and do one more thing for Xuanling Sect to show your repentance, Xuanling Sect will not exterminate you!"
"What?!"
"60% profit!?"
"Xuanling Sect wants 60% of the profit, Dashu royal family wants 30%, how will our sect develop in the future?"
Kong Mo, Wu Zhen Tian and Wei Qing suddenly shouted in anger.
Dong Ping snorted: "The sect can't develop, at least it's better than the sect being destroyed. Can't you all see the situation in front of you until now?"
Kong Mo, Wu Zhen Tian and Wei Qing exchanged a glance, and for a moment they were all silent.
Bei Yue is a swordsman.
Even if Yun Lei Jian Zong had a sword master-level war puppet, how could it possibly rival a true sword master?
Once Beiyue Sword Master retreats and advances, temporarily entangling with Yunlai Sword Sect's war puppet, waiting for the war puppet's energy to be exhausted, at that time...
At this thought, several people couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive at the same time.
After a good while, the taciturn Kong Mo finally spoke up: "There's still one more thing to do to show our remorse... Let's hear it out first, what exactly is it that you want us to do?"
"It's very simple!"
Dong Ping's gaze shifted from Kong Mo, Wu Zhen Tian and Wei Qing to Qi Ling Yun, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes, but more so, a fierce glint: "Bring the heads of all those who participated in the sect's grand competition with Cloud Sword Sect, go to Xuanling Sect to apologize, let Xuanling Sect see your sincerity!"
