“Go, all of you . I have only one request . Don’t die too soon,” Lu Sheng said with a smile .
“What about you, Boss?” Bach stretched his limbs . He shook his strong body slowly . He struck a pose as if he was attacking with his palm . He seemed to be reminiscing his domineering palm techniques which he had dominated the federation with .
“Me?” Lu Sheng glanced at the White Feather Army below . The big and tall man in the thick black cloak looked up at him as well .
The sides of the man’s armor were lines with sharp sawteeth that resembled dragon’s wings . He had two sharp horns on his head, and the huge tail behind him was longer than his body .
“This is a good opportunity for me to see what this academy is hiding . ” Lu Sheng lifted his arm . A pitch-black streamlined form-fitting armor slowly walked out of the darkness behind him .
This was a powerful armor he had obtained unintentionally when he framed Madam Belle . It was almost the most outstanding armor among the General Armors .
The armor wielded slender blades in each hand . The extremely sharp alloy blades gave a col glint under the night’s illumination .
The armor’s arm was twice as thick as a General Armor’s . The soles of its feet were also like a lizard’s . It had delicate wide flippers, while its toes had hooks . With every step it took, it hooked itself to the floor .
“Let’s begin . Let’s show our opponents who’s the real master of this city . ” Lu Sheng walked into the armor and wore it . Then, he strode down the stairs .
Bach and the remaining mysterious person stood up as well . They followed Lu Sheng down the floor .
A few Soldier Armors were already running up the stairs .
“Kill them!”
The two Soldier Armors moved synchronously . They swung their blades from the top and bottom with lightning speed toward Lu Sheng .
With the enhancement from their kinetic system’s explosive strength, the agility of these two Soldier Armors was already at the Arrest tier .
In the eyes of the ordinary person, such a speed could no longer be followed with the naked eye .
Two white lines zipped toward Lu Sheng’s waist and chest .
“Clang!”
With a deafening clash, Bach raised his hand slightly behind Lu Sheng . Before anyone noticed, he had already donned his armor . A silver thread was pulled taut before Lu Sheng’s body, and easily repelled the two incoming white strips .
From the side, the mysterious man made a move as well .
“Boom!”
There was the blast of a cannon . Half of the two Soldier Armors were blown away, and blood and flesh splattered all around them .
Lu Sheng did not slow down . He continued down the stairs . A dozen white Soldier Armors who were unafraid of death charged up the stairs .
With his manipulation of his threads, Bach precisely parried all the weapons launched at Lu Sheng .
The other person merely produced a cannon the size of his fist from under his cloak . With eerie precision, he obliterated anyone that came close .
Nobody could stop their advancement, not even for half a second .
They exited the teaching block . There were as many as 100 gun and cannon barrels aimed at the trio .
The Poison Dragon Gar Kandi stood at the front of the formation . Faint yellow gemstones were wedged into the shoulder plates of his armor . They glittered with an enchanting translucent glow under the spotlight .
“Bach Henry, I never expected you to break out of prison . I remember that I was the one who captured and brought you to justice . ” The Poison Dragon’s gaze was first directed toward Bach who stood behind Lu Sheng .
Bach smiled without saying a word .
“Thunder King Nolan . I didn’t expect you to join this so-called Seven Leaves organization as well . ” When the Poison Dragon Gar Kandi looked at the mysterious cloaked person, the look in his eyes was more of regret .
“You don’t understand, Poison Dragon . ” The mysterious man slowly removed his cloak to show his true form .
Under the cloak was a big and tall man with an oxygen mask on his face and the look of death in his eyes .
“I really feel sorry for you,” said the Poison Dragon as he shook his head . “You lot don’t even understand what you’re about to face . ”
“I know what I’m doing very clearly,” said Thunder King Nolan in his deep voice . “This body has been bedridden for a dozen years . Rather than dragging out an ignoble existence, it’s better for me to do what I want with the time I have left . ”
“Very well . Do it, then . Let’s not waste time,” said Lu Sheng, impatient .
He did not gather all these experts to engage in verbal arguments .
The Iron Screen’s Screen Master, the Light of the Northern Mountain, had already shown himself . The remaining issue was with his other members . If he wanted to completely wipe the Iron Screen out, he would have to assign them to the proper locations beforehand .
Unfortunately, his Psychological Guidance Healing Art could not be used through an armor .
‘Let’s see what I can use in this academy . The greatest academy in the federation won’t let me down this easily . ’
Lu Sheng walked slowly toward the experiment block at the side . This experiment block was the main building in which the academy’s lecturers gathered . There were five floors above ground and an unknown number of floors underground . The various secrets of the academy were hidden there .
“Stop him!” the Poison Dragon barked his order coldly . He leapt toward Lu Sheng .
He moved with such agility and explosive strength that Bach and the Thunder King did not have time to react .
He did not earn his title, the Poison Dragon, because his armor was poisonous . Instead, it was because the angle of his attacks and the unpredictability of his terrifying explosive strength surpassed the common people’s imagination .
His attacks were extremely merciless, for his targets would either die or be crippled, and he moved like a dragon . That was how he got his nickname .
‘Although armors are the main weapon in this world, the main form of combat is still hand-to-hand . Long-range attacks aren’t of much use for high-end armors . I must say that it’s blander this way . ’
Lu Sheng looked at the charging Poison Dragon . The long blade in his left hand slashed forward in an instant .
“Pcchht!”
The blade drew a bright silver line in midair . The line was a meter long .
In the past month, Lu Sheng’s body was effectively improved under the nourishment of his Yang Essence . With Deep Blue’s help, he had also cultivated a few skills that purely dealt with outer force .
In a way, he had brought this body to its limits .
However, the enhancement of an Emperor Armor was truly incredible . The Poison Dragon’s explosive energy was even faster than Lu Sheng’s blade .
The sawteeth on his arms swung and easily parried the blade’s gleam . Then, he whipped his tail at Lu Sheng’s waist .
His body truly resembled a poison dragon . As he maneuvered in the small area, his speed, reaction, force, and explosiveness were flawless . There was no loophole in his attacks as well .
Lu Sheng’s body could not keep up with the explosive strength from his Emperor Armor’s enhancement . His explosive strength was already on the same tier as a Weapon Grandmaster’s .
“Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!”
The two of the exchanged dozens of blows with lightning speed . Lu Sheng hacked away at his opponent from all directions, his blows raining down like a tempest . However, every slash of his blade was parried with utmost precision .
The Poison Dragon was too fast for Lu Sheng . The sawteeth on his arms, his dragon tail, and the horns on his head were weapons in his arsenal .
If Lu Sheng’s martial skill had not been of a Great Yin grandmaster’s level, he would have lost after the very first blow .
The Poison Dragon was too powerful . Bach and the Thunder King wanted to butt in, but the other four silvery-white Titled General Armors engaged them .
As they attacked synchronously with the other Soldier Armors, the two of them would not be able to break free for some time .
Lu Sheng and the Poison Dragon were moving too quickly . They had crashed into the teaching block behind them in what seemed like an instant . They blew large holes in the walls of the building .
Blade marks and sawteeth tore open the floors easily enough . The entire building was like a paper box to them . It could be torn easily .
“This is the disadvantage of not having an Emperor Armor . ” Lu Sheng discovered with shock that he was still at a disadvantage . The attacks of his twin blades were gradually being pushed back by the Poison Dragon .
“Give it up . You don’t stand a chance . ” The Poison Dragon whipped his tail . His dragon tail collided with Lu Sheng’s crossed blades .
“Boom!”
Lu Sheng was sent reeling . He crashed heavily through a few walls and dug out a long trench in the floor as his body skidded across it . His armor was smoking slightly .
“My Emperor Armor is the greatest masterpiece in the federation’s history . It’s capable of enhancing the reaction abilities of my entire body at least 20 times better than any Soldier Armor . ” The Poison Dragon walked slowly toward Lu Sheng .
“There’s no meaning to your struggles . From the moment you established the so-called Seven Leaves, it has been a sad mistake . ”
“What’s hidden here?” Lu Sheng lay faceup among the rubble . There was a faint smile on his face . “The Starlight Diagram?”
The Poison Dragon stopped in his tracks .
“That’s just something used to attract attention . The Platinum Academy has the greatest strategic value for the entire federation . The reason is none other than…”
He suddenly stopped without saying any more .
“Actually, you should take pride in being able to take part as a tester in this grand event . The higher-ups were initially planning on carrying it out a few years from now . However, this opportunity which you’ve created is too great to waste . Hence, they decided to put it in motion . ”
“I’m curious . What do you mean by being a tester? Have you developed some new technique or armor?” Lu Sheng was intrigued .
“Hohoho…” All of a sudden, a big, tall, and fair fatso walked slowly out of the darkness .
The fatso had a small moustache . He wore a fat white armor which resembled a bear . A dozen whips which resembled electric power cables were lashing about in the air behind him .
“Gar Kandi . This is the greatest masterpiece of the federation . Now that the outcome is decided, it doesn’t matter even if you tell him . ”
“Is that so? Since you’re the person in charge, so be it,” the Poison Dragon said . He did not seem too bothered .
“Look at the time . I think it’s almost time now . ” The principal turned his head sideways and gazed through the holes in the walls .
There was a rumble . The floor started shaking .
“Hohoho… It’s here! It’s here!” The principal spread his arms and cheered .
“Pcchht!”
In that instant, the Poison Dragon attacked . He appeared before Lu Sheng with lightning speed and hurled three punches with his arms in an instant .
After the three blows, Lu Sheng’s armor seemed to have been hacked by a great axe . It was finally at the limits of its resistance . With a loud bang, it shattered, exposing Lu Sheng underneath it, almost completely drowned out by rubble .
“I’ll leave the rest to you, principal . I have to go and carry out the second test . ” The Poison Dragon did not even look back . He turned around and strode out of the teaching block, leaving the principal alone with Lu Sheng .
“So, what now? Are you going to kill me?” Lu Sheng looked at the principal, Earl Pella, with a smile on his face .
“You were capable of holding out for such a long time under the most powerful Emperor Armor, the Poison Dragon . You’re such a good experiment material . There’s no way I’ll kill you easily . ” The principal laughed in his peculiar manner again .
“Rumble…”
The vibrations reached them again .
Outside of the building, the most colossal armor throughout history was slowly rising through the cracks in the ground on the field .
“Look at that, the greatest masterpiece of the federation . Destruction Star Armor, the Radiant King!” His laughter grew shriller .
Lu Sheng looked through the holes .
“Bam!”
A huge, black hand grabbed the edge of the crack . Then, a second hand appeared .
The two hands slowly exerted force . A giant black mecha more than 30 meters tall slowly emerged from the crack .
The mecha had tendrils on top of its head like an insect . It had four arms and eight legs that balanced itself .
When it crawled out of the ground, the engaging White Feather Army and the Iron Screen Army were stunned .
Even the seven Emperor Armor owners of the Seven Leaves were forced to stop fighting . They retreated to a safe distance and observed this colossal mecha which had just emerged from the ground .
“With the combined strength of 124 individuals, this most powerful armor in history will usher in a new generation, a new era!” the principal exclaimed passionately as he spread his arms .
“Is that so?” Lu Sheng looked at the Radiant King . No matter how he looked at it, he could not associate the term radiant with this thing .
“My beloved niece, are you seeing this?” The principal suddenly turned and looked into the darkness behind Lu Sheng .
After a moment’s silence, Quan Shihui slowly walked out from behind Lu Sheng .
“Your appetite is as great as always, Uncle . You’re intending on capturing my Iron Screen in one fell swoop, aren’t you?” Her composed smile was nowhere to be seen now . In its place was an icy and dangerous look .
“And you”—the principal looked at Lu Sheng again—”you’re still calm . I’m sure it’s because you still have something up your sleeve . Well, what about now?”
He clapped his hands .
A purple humanoid armor walked out of the darkness . A young and delicate frame was lifted in its arms .
“Rinrin… Don’t… mind me… Run…” Esha was suspended in the air by her beck . However, she still struggled to shout .
“What if I kill her now? What would you do?” The principal looked at Lu Sheng with a lecherous smile . “I’m curious . ”
Lu Sheng stared at him . The smile on his face faded .
“Do you have any idea what you’re doing?” His voice suddenly calmed down .
“Oh? Are you going to make a move? If you move, I’ll kill her . Will you save yourself, or will you save your little girlfriend?” The principal gave a strange laugh . “Your arrangements were secretive enough . They were thorough . Alas, you’ve forgotten that the Bai Family is also here . Bai Shi had accidentally discovered this young lady and handed her over to me . I’m very satisfied with that,” said the principal with a smile . “So… what will you do now?”
“What will I do?” Lu Sheng straightened up slowly . The fragments on his body slid to the floor .
“Maybe… this?”
“Boom!”
The wall behind the principal suddenly broke open . A black metallic hand about eight meters thick broke through the wall . The entire building shook with the impact as the hand snaked its way toward him with lightning speed .
