Chapter 1427 - 1144: The Power of the Evil Sect_2

"Hmm, who is this kid from, and why is he so fierce?" Long Yi’s team instructor came over and asked in a low voice, but no one around recognized him.

"Forget it, no matter who he’s from, this kid is definitely destined for greatness. After all, with that strength, it won’t take long for him to leave this recruit camp. And I bet even in the regular army, there are not many who have this strength!"

The drowsy instructor yawned, thought for a moment, and said, "Since you guys are free anyway, let’s have a ranking match tomorrow. Only we’ve just got one promotion spot, so you’d better rise to the challenge. As for the player who ends up at the bottom... well, it’s not like there’s anywhere to go anyhow, hahaha!"

When the instructor mentioned the player at the bottom, almost everyone’s gaze stayed on Long Yi, as if it had been decided already. According to Elsa’s description, the Henki she was portraying was so weak that it was bizarre. He acted as if he didn’t know how to use the energy alloy armor at all, and from several descriptions, it seemed he didn’t even like the energy alloy armor. Such behavior made him look not just weak, but a bit stupid.

Well, geniuses are always a bit eccentric, Long Yi comforted himself.

However, to build oneself into a genius, one must have some real substance. A victory was certainly indispensable, but it could not come from battle.

Clearly, Long Yi’s plan to improve the energy alloy would come in handy.

The so-called energy alloy, although not personally created by the Giants, already had a sufficient theoretical foundation. And it was the Worm that had stolen the Giant’s technology and, using those complete theories, created the energy alloy. However, the Worm was, after all, not a Giant, and those Divine Worms also lacked the perfect technical conditions of the Giants. Therefore, though the energy alloy had been improved over time, there had not been any qualitative leap.

And now, Long Yi had arrived.

With the knowledge from the Heavenly Kingdom and the documents left by the Giants, Long Yi had found a way to enhance the energy alloy by adding more substances to the already stable energy alloy.

The original energy alloy was made of Crystal Poison and purified iron elements. Long Yi then covered the Crystal Poison with Mithril, allowing it to bind more closely with the iron elements. This way, the properties of the energy alloy could be increased by thirty percent! This was definitely an unprecedented improvement!

Actually, the strength of the energy alloy itself was very poor; its main feature was having different properties based on different energies injected into it. The addition of Shadow Silver-wrapped Crystal Poison could enhance the alloy’s energy response by thirty percent, and this was enough to be an unprecedented change!

Only, how to present this new alloy formula to the higher-ups?

In the end, it still came down to battle! But this time, the battle had to be smarter! And he needed Elsa’s cooperation.

The next day arrived, and the ranking battle of this squad at the very end of the entire recruit camp didn’t attract much attention. Of course, the soldiers in the previous group next to this one were very tense, as when someone rose up, it generally meant someone else might be going down. If lucky, the new entrant might go back down after a series of defeats. But if the new person truly had strength, then someone here was definitely going to be unlucky.

The battle began, and everyone paired off to fight. Long Yi’s opponent was clearly very impatient: "I don’t want to bother with a blockhead like you. Just forfeit honestly, and I promise I won’t touch you!"

At that moment, Long Yi silently pulled out a blackish-gray metal greatsword from his personal space and said in a dull tone, "Beat me first, then talk."

Long Yi’s opponent was stunned, not because of what Long Yi had said, and certainly not because of any imposing aura. It was because of the weapon in Long Yi’s hands!

"Hahaha! Everyone stop! Did you see that? This kid pulled out a greatsword from his personal space! A solid greatsword! Ahahaha!" Long Yi’s opponent burst into laughter. The other soldiers who were fighting also stopped one after another, and laughter rang out continuously. Long Yi’s squad instructor shook his head helplessly; he had heard that this Henki guy wasn’t very bright, and even his parents didn’t like him. He didn’t expect him to be this dull! What era was this, still using a solid greatsword? Even if wearing energy alloy armor, with great strength it wasn’t tough to swing around, but could you cut through another’s armor?

Amidst the laughter, Long Yi simply raised his greatsword high.

"What’s the matter, you scared?" Long Yi asked. For the sake of acting, he even made his pronunciation sound slightly dull.

"Me? Scared? Yeah, sure, I’m terrified! I’m afraid you’re too stupid to live!"

Whirr!

An energy greatsword appeared in that soldier’s hand. With a great shout, the soldier charged straight at Long Yi. Long Yi didn’t dodge; his energy metal greatsword clashed head-on with it.

Crack!

With a crisp sound, Long Yi’s energy metal greatsword touched the pure energy sword and instantly, the soldier’s energy greatsword shattered, while Long Yi’s metal greatsword glowed with a strange light, slashing horizontally onto the soldier’s shoulder. The tip of the sword sliced open the soldier’s armor, even revealing the incredibly surprised white-skinned eyes inside!
