Chapter 175

A beast tamer who knows Buddhist Dharma and mechanical arts, but you just never see him taming beasts!

The cultivators present all thought so.

However, Lin Jing felt this statement was wrong.

This mecha, to be precise, the pilot is not him.

Lin Jing is only responsible for using mechanical technology to assemble these materials, and he himself is unable to control this mecha.

The one truly controlling the mecha is the Pine Needle Rat.

So theoretically speaking, he is beast-taming; it is the pet beast that is taming the mecha!

Of course, some people don't admit that this mecha is a mechanical creation.

High-level mechanical creations integrate soul cores, and mechanical engineers control them with their minds.

Like Mo Qianyi's Immortal-Shooting Chariot, it integrates a soul core internally, and she connects to the soul core with her Exquisite Heart, enabling her to control all the changes of the Immortal-Shooting Chariot.

It has similarities to cultivators refining magic treasures and driving them with magic power, but one is controlled by the mind, and the other is driven by magic power.

This giant mecha has no soul core. In Yan Xiangbei's view, how could it be a mechanical creation?

However, Lin Jing felt this statement was also wrong.

After all, the Pine Needle Rat controlling the mecha is not using magic power, just like the Pine Needle Rat controlling the red flying leaves with its mind. The actions of this mecha are also controlled by the Pine Needle Rat's mind; its connection with the synthesized plants is through the mind.

Since they are all controlled by the mind, why isn't this mecha a mechanical creation!

"Take this."

ZZZZZ!!!

The blood-colored mecha had just been passively defending and counterattacking. Now, as the power operated efficiently, a long blade composed entirely of blood-qi quickly condensed in the mecha's hand.

SWISH!!!

The several-dozen-meter-long blade swept toward Yan Xiangbei with a roar.

Facing this terrifying blood blade, Yan Xiangbei didn't have time to think too much and began to unleash a mid-grade magic treasure, a small door-shaped object. Under the drive of his divine body, the small door-shaped magic treasure radiated three layers of phantoms, standing in front of him.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The three layers of barriers blocked the blood blade, yet the blood blade was like a hot knife through butter, instantly splitting one, then another, and another, until all three defenses were split open. Yan Xiangbei was shaken away by the huge aftermath and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"One blood blade actually broke through my three doors before dissipating!"

"This kind of blood-qi power is not possessed by ordinary Golden Core body cultivators. The most terrifying thing is that the blood-qi is endless, without any trend of weakening." He clutched his chest, put away the door-shaped magic treasure, and intended to attack instead of defend, taking out a flying sword at the mid-grade magic treasure level.

"Go!" Yan Xiangbei formed seals with one hand, and the flying sword instantly headed straight for the mecha's chest. However, the giant mecha immediately opened its mouth, spitting out blood-energy power—a bloody storm, nothing more. Under the massive blood-energy hurricane, the flying sword's speed slowed down instantly and was blown away, forcing Yan Xiangbei to retract it.

"What on earth is this thing..."

Although with his current small-success divine body, he couldn't add the power of a mid-grade magic treasure to the level of a high-grade one, the power was definitely far beyond that of a burning low-grade magic treasure, yet it was still suppressed!

Yan Xiangbei felt huge pressure.

Seeing this scene, the audience fell silent, very curious about the big guy Lin Jing was driving.

The Divine Mechanism Manor also had experts accompanying Mo Qianyi. These mechanical masters were very itchy, wanting to see what the structure of this mechanical creation was.

Unfortunately, there were seals on the mecha that blocked spiritual sense. The level of these seals was not high, and their spiritual sense could certainly break through by force, but generally, after such seals are broken, the mechanical structure would self-destruct. This is also set by some mechanical engineers to protect the secrets of their mechanical creations. And now, as it was the scene of the prodigy battle, if they affected Lin Jing's fight because of their spiritual sense, they would be enemies with the Heavenly Mystery Tower.

Although the Divine Mechanism Manor is the Ancient Kingdom's number one mechanical inheritance force, they wouldn't go so far as to destroy the competition held by the Heavenly Mystery Tower for the secret of one mechanical creation.

"But what is certain is that the energy of this mechanical creation is probably the blood of demon beasts." Mo Qianyi stood in one place, feeling that it was quite consistent with the name of the Beast-Taming Sect.

Next, Yan Xiangbei frequently unleashed magic treasures, but unfortunately, none could affect the mecha. And the most terrifying thing about this mecha is its endurance. With the mosquito power, plus the Pine Needle Rat's stock, Lin Jing could fight as long as he wanted, so he didn't mind playing with Yan Xiangbei a bit more.

After all, since this mecha was built, he hadn't played with it many times.

Yan Xiangbei... had fallen into a disadvantage!

As the competition reached this point, the teachers and students of the academy and the Long Gong members were all stunned.

Especially the Long Gong members, who on this day once again recalled the fear of being dominated by mechanical bamboo spears.

When did they forget that Lin Jing is also a mechanical master who once created the disgusting thing called the mechanical bamboo spear?

Although the mechanical bamboo spear has now been phased out at the Qi Condensation stage and is useless at the Foundation Establishment stage, it laid a reasonable foundation for Lin Jing to manufacture even more terrifying things today.

"If I had known there was this thing, I wouldn't have spent all my family fortune to cultivate some dragon-blooded pet beast; I should have just followed the Palace Master to learn mechanical arts." Having been defeated by Mo Qianyi's mechanical arts and taking pills to heal in the audience, the descendant of Ice Fire Island was very regretful.

He looked at the arena, finding it hard to imagine that the third prodigy would be in such a sorry state.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" Yan Xiangbei was very broken down, his whole body hot, fleeing on the arena. Every move of the huge mosquito-powered mecha had great power, and its own defensive power was terrifyingly high, making it impossible to resist.

Yan Xiangbei was reluctant to sacrifice mid-grade magic treasures. After struggling for a while, he finally took out his high-grade magic treasure, a miniature white treasure lamp that radiated treasure light and could be held in the palm of his hand.

"High-grade magic treasure, Nirvana Treasure Lamp, come out!"

Yan Xiangbei, with orange hair, floated in the air and unleashed his strongest item!

Seeing this, all the cultivators present held their breath, knowing that the critical moment was coming.

This Lin Jing had actually forced out Yan Xiangbei's high-grade magic treasure!

It's just that they didn't know if this strange mechanical creation could withstand this treasure lamp!

"It is rumored that the Nirvana Treasure Lamp contains the powerful strange fire, Nirvana Wild Flame. After fusing with powerful magic power, it can even easily burn the primordial spirit." A Nascent Soul expert murmured in the audience. Such a magic treasure, even if given to them at the Nascent Soul stage, is an absolute trump card.

This kid with the Weapon-Holding Body can use it at the Foundation Establishment stage; what good fortune!

In desperation, Yan Xiangbei finally unleashed his killer move. The sky full of white flames immediately surged from the treasure lamp. At this moment, Yan Xiangbei reversed the situation. The blood light shot from the mecha's eyes was instantly scorched by the white flames. This third prodigy looked weakly at the mecha, determined to burn this thing to ashes.

"It seems the situation is about to reverse. The shell of that mechanical creation seems to be metal-wood attribute... even if ordinary flames are hard to restrain, this Nirvana Wild Flame... is a bit different!"

Even Lin Jing didn't know if the mosquito-powered mecha could withstand the power of a high-grade magic treasure.

But it doesn't matter.

A real man driving a mecha never intended to bring the mecha back in one piece.

"Driving this thing, you won't be able to drive the magic treasure that restricts spatial spells, right?" Lin Jing murmured. The next instant, Yan Xiangbei's pupils shrank, his whole body frantically warning him. He saw that facing the white flames sweeping over, the giant mecha's whole body flashed red light rapidly and emitted a "beep-beep-beep" sound.

"Pine Needle Rat, activate the self-destruct system."

"How dare you!" Yan Xiangbei's pupils shrank. Immediately after, under everyone's shocked gaze, this huge mecha actually stopped fighting and exploded with a roar!

As a mecha, how could it not have a self-destruct system?

The moment before the mecha self-destructed, the figures of Lin Jing and the Pine Needle Rat had already appeared high in the boundless sky, watching the huge red fireball rising below!!!

A red leaf had been sent to the high sky earlier during the battle.

Under the rumbling sound, a wild wind also rolled up in the high sky.

"Alright, barely considered solving a strong enemy without injury." High in the sky, Lin Jing's hair fluttered in the wind.

The Pine Needle Rat also wiped sweat exhaustedly. Hmm, it was without injury, it's just that the mecha died a bit miserably.
