Chapter 69 The Choice!
The moment these four super S-grade blood and qi tonics were announced, the air in Chamber Zero seemed to become heavy.
Wang Taishi, Bai Lingxue, and Zhou Yuan, who were standing to the side, were breathing noticeably heavier.
Zhou Yuan's Adam's apple bobbed wildly as he stared intently at the holographic projection, his face filled with disbelief and greed.
Even Bai Lingxue, who is usually cold and aloof and comes from a prominent family, showed a hint of admiration in her usually clear and cold eyes.
Wang Taishi reacted the most. His face, which had been taut with the coldness of someone who had lost too much blood, suddenly bobbed when he saw the tube of dark red Titan Bone Marrow Gel.
He knew all too well what that thing meant. The Stone-Shattering Power he cultivated was also based on the ultimate physical path. If he were given that gel, his Wrath Stone Mech would be even three times harder.
Unfortunately... that's something only champions can touch.
No one can remain calm in the face of such a strategic resource.
S-class and Super S-class may seem to differ by only one word, but they represent an insurmountable chasm.
The former means having money, connections, and the potential to buy it...
the latter?
That's the foundation the Federal military uses to create top-tier weapons of war!
Wang Xing stood in front of the booth, his gaze slowly sweeping over the four projections, his brain working at lightning speed like a sophisticated supercomputer.
"Titan Bone Marrow Gel, primarily for extreme physical enhancement. This stuff can greatly increase the load-bearing capacity of my muscles and bones. After my 'Myriad Manifestations Prajna Divine Power' reaches a subtle level, it unleashes twice or even more power, with a huge backlash on myself. With this gel as a base, I might even dare to unleash powerful attacks without any restraint in the future."
"The Radiant Star Lotus Marrow and the Void Star Core Dew—the former nourishes life, the latter reconstructs the cyclical pathways. Both are essentially life-sustaining wonders. My current weakness is indeed endurance; once my energy and vitality are depleted, I become an easy target..."
As for the last zero-quantum potion…
Wang Xing's gaze lingered on the silver light the longest.
Disruption and restructuring at the micro level forcibly raises the upper limit of potential. The risks are extremely high, but the rewards are equally terrifying.
If he wins the gamble, his future health and vitality will be far superior to that of other martial artists of the same level.
Each of these four could cause bloodshed among the martial artists in the outside world; he wouldn't lose out by choosing any one of them.
However, in the path of martial arts, the worst thing is to try to do too much at once and end up not mastering anything, or even to choose a path that contradicts one's own style.
"Wang Xing".
Just as Wang Xing frowned slightly and fell into deep thought, someone gently patted his shoulder.
Principal Li Zhengyuan appeared behind him at some point.
The old principal, whose face was usually stern, was all smiles today, but his tone carried the composure of someone with experience: "Don't rush into a decision. Such top-tier resources have far-reaching consequences. The blood and qi tonics are meant to nourish the physical body, and the physical body is for piloting the mecha. You might as well take a look at the whole picture first before making a decision."
"You're right, Principal."
Wang Xing instantly understood and relaxed his tense nerves.
He looked up at Director He Changfeng and said, "Director He, I'd like to take a look at the mecha prizes first before deciding on my choice of Qi and Blood Tonics. Is that in accordance with the rules?"
"Haha, of course, no problem! It's better to be cautious; good steel should be used where it's needed most!"
He Changfeng waved his hand and gave Wang Xing a look of considerable appreciation.
He remained calm and composed, maintaining this level of composure even when faced with a priceless treasure.
He is indeed a promising talent.
He entered the command again on the terminal.
"Whoosh!!"
The projection of the Qi and Blood Tonic temporarily went dark, and then four other holographic models, full of metallic texture and emitting dazzling light, rose up!
The moment these four things appeared, even the professors from the four major mecha universities watching from the sidelines turned sharp in their eyes.
"Mech modification parts, unlike external weapons, are core materials that are directly embedded into the bottom layer of the mech."
Director He cleared his throat, a hint of pride in his eyes, and pointed to the first deep blue crystal pillar:
"The first item is the [Azure] Partially Guided Geomagnetic Storm Matrix Generator."
"This is an external, miniature force field core. When connected to the mech's power reactor, it can form a magnetic storm deflector shield on the outer layer of the mech, refreshing 30,000 times per second. Unless directly hit by a high-dimensional energy cannon, most of the kinetic energy from physical slashes and ballistic shots of the same level will be converted into deflector magnetic force and deflected. It can make your mech a mobile absolute fortress."
"The second item is the [Ghost] optical camouflage and microwave transition module."
It's a soft, metallic core that flows like mercury. "Equip it, and your mech will have true stealth capabilities, not only shielding you from radar and infrared blind spots, but also enabling 3 seconds of 'microwave refraction,' which is visual teleportation over short distances. This is a top-of-the-line product tailor-made for battlefield assassins."
"The third item is the [solar prominence] micro fusion reactor core."
This is a piece of ore emitting a blinding red light. "A pure energy output component. Replace your original power core, and this thing can more than triple your mech's horsepower, and the thruster's exhaust flames can plow through the ground. As long as your damage-bearing structure can withstand it, it can give your mech near-flight-like aerial burst power."
At this point, Director He paused for a moment and walked towards the last exhibit.
It was an extremely strange cone-shaped crystal.
The entire piece is dark gold, and inside it seems as if countless tiny blades are cutting and swirling. Even though it is just a holographic projection, looking at it for too long can cause a tearing pain in the eyes.
"The fourth item, which is also the most temperamental of the four—[Taibai] Overclocking Oscillation Crystal Fusion."
He Changfeng's tone became serious: "This isn't installed on the mecha's chest, but rather it's used to forge your main weapon and the power transmission shaft for the mechanical arm."
"After extracting it and reforging it into your battle sword, it will form an invisible 'high-frequency particle oscillation field' on the edge of the blade. To put it simply, even the most ordinary piece of scrap iron, after being enhanced with Taibai Fusion Crystal, can cut through special alloys like tofu!"
"Not only that, it can also perfectly connect with the martial artist's qi and blood to generate power. The stronger the power you unleash, the higher the frequency of the vibration, and the accompanying destructive power increases exponentially! But the downside is... it places extremely high demands on the material of the mecha itself and the pressure resistance of the martial artist's arms. Ordinary people simply cannot handle the feeling of being torn apart by this reverse vibration."
Director He had just finished speaking.
Wang Xing's eyes were already blazing with a bright and intimidating light!
He didn't hesitate for even half a second.
There is no need to consider protection or optical stealth at all.
He's a power-based martial artist!
His mecha is the fierce and unparalleled Tiger-type! He practices the "Myriad Manifestations Prajna Divine Power" and wields a heavy and powerful tiger-striped battle sword!
What he needs is extreme destructive power!
Wherever the blade passes, it cuts through everything, whether it's a defensive barrier or a sacred stone body, with pure violence!
This [Taibai] overclocked oscillation fusion crystal is practically a causal weapon tailor-made for him!
"headmaster……"
Wang Xing turned his head and looked intently at Li Zhengyuan.
At this moment, Li Zhengyuan was also looking at the dark golden crystal. The old man and the young man exchanged a glance.
The old principal nodded almost imperceptibly.
Clearly, his advice perfectly aligned with Wang Xing's deepest desires.
If the mecha modification parts are chosen for pure destruction, then which health-boosting item should be selected to withstand this reverse destructive force...?
The answer is obvious!
Wang Xing turned around without any hesitation, raised his right arm, and pointed decisively at two items on the holographic display stand.
"Director He, I've made my choice."
The boy's voice was clear and firm, resounding loudly in the silent Zero Council Chamber.
"For blood and qi tonics, I choose the first one—[Titan Beast Bone Marrow Gel]."
"For the mecha kit, I choose the fourth piece—[Taibai] Overclocking Oscillation Fusion Crystal!"
