Chapter 116 Gathering Power, Rhinoceros Charge
One against three isn't impossible, but it depends on the opponents. At the very least, given Long You's current strength, fighting Bei Bei, He Cai Tou, and Xu San Shi alone wouldn't be a fight, it would be asking for a beating.
Long You would never allow himself to be abused, but since Teacher Fan Yu had already arrived, he couldn't simply refuse to participate. Having no other choice, Long You called Huo Yuhao for help.
With this person offering a god-like perspective, Long You felt he could gain some initiative. He probably couldn't win, but he could at least minimize his losses.
As agreed beforehand, Bei Bei's three were forced to target Huo Yuhao, and Huo Yuhao could do nothing but provide vision.
Without a countdown for the release of martial spirits, Fan Yu immediately blew the whistle to signal the start of the battle after seeing both sides fully assembled.
The three on Beibei's side had never cooperated before, but that didn't matter, because only Beibei and Xu Sanshi really needed to cooperate. The moment Fan Yu blew the whistle, He Caitou immediately started equipping himself on the spot.
With melee fighters protecting him, He Caitou, this ranged Soul Master, is just that arrogant.
However, without any close-combat support nearby, Long You wasn't actually panicking. Knowing he needed some time to prepare at the start of the battle, Long You immediately stood at the edge of the arena.
When the whistle blew, Xiao Yan had already crawled out on his own. If Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi rushed into the range that the soul skill could control, and Long You had not yet prepared his own weapons, then Xiao Yan would be responsible for using the soul skill to slow down Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi.
Of course, that was just in case. If the battle start time for Soul Masters was really that long, they would have been eliminated by Soul Masters long ago.
The left arm armor had already enveloped Long You's left arm the moment Xiao Yan emerged. At the same time, Long You's right hand was not idle either. With a gentle flick of his wrist, five rings that shone with metallic luster under the night light appeared in mid-air in front of Long You.
In the blink of an eye, humanoid figures with outstretched arms floated in the air, connected to each other, and a battle armor with sharp angles and light and shadow appeared within it.
At this moment, Long You's left arm, covered in plate armor and the headdress of a rhinoceros, suddenly shot forward, penetrating directly into the armor of light and shadow. Without pausing, his left arm pulled back, and five magical rings, each carrying a piece of armor in the form of light and shadow, followed the movement of Long You's left arm and slammed into him.
Then, the armor was combined.
A mechanical voice sounded, and the light and shadow-like armor materialized, enveloping Long You. Less than two seconds had passed since the whistle sounded. Long You had already completed the donning process of his soul-guided power armor, while He Caitou had just climbed into his own soul-guided power armor and was closing the chest armor.
"Sizzle" "Thump"
Without giving the enemy any time to react, Long You, after completing the armoring, directly commanded Bourne to control the fire control system of the soul-guided power armor and fire.
The right arm of the mecha transformed into a twelve-barreled Gatling gun, unleashing a storm of energy bullets that froze Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, who had just charged forward more than ten meters, in place, forcing them into a defensive posture. Two rapid-fire soul-guided cannon shells were fired directly at He Caitou, who was still unable to move.
Long You's first attack was effective, disrupting the rhythm of all three opponents. However, it was only a temporary disruption; whether it was He Caitou, who was unable to move at the time, or Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi, who were still surrounded by bullet comments, they could easily cope with this level of attack.
On He Caitou's side, after using an active soul-guided defensive shield to withstand Long You's attack, he also completed the armor closing process. He returned two cannonballs that were exactly the same in grade and type as the rapid-fire soul-guided cannonballs that Long You had sent over earlier.
As for Beibei and Xu Sanshi, Xu Sanshi, who had set up the Xuanwu Shield Wall, also began to lead Beibei to advance steadily.
Bourne detected the rapidly approaching soul-guided cannonball in the air and immediately activated the ballistic interception system installed on the Longyou soul-guided power armor.
Compared to directly using a defensive soul tool to withstand the attack, this method of intercepting and detonating the opponent's attack on the way is undoubtedly more energy-efficient.
It was basically a one-on-three situation, so they conserved their soul power as much as possible. After all, with the computing speed of artificial intelligence, this kind of interception was a piece of cake. He Caitou's side just didn't have enough time, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to withstand the attack head-on.
The rapid-fire soul-guided cannons on their shoulders remained stationary, but the front shoulder armor slid down, revealing a row of linked soul-guided ray ports. The rapid-fire soul-guided cannon shells fired by He Caitou were ultimately detonated above and in front of Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi. The explosion forced the two to halt their advance once again.
While Bourne was busy here, Long You was not idle either. He controlled the soul-guided power armor and raised his left arm.
It's clear from the previous outfitting process that in the past three months, in addition to creating a new left arm armor for himself, Long You has also upgraded his soul-guided power armor.
With his soul power level reaching level 46, Long You was able to use techniques that were only available to level 5 soul masters without restriction. With the enhancement of these techniques, Long You turned many of the imaginative ideas from science fiction movies in his previous life into reality.
The upgraded Soul-Guided Power Armor is not only faster and cooler to put on, but also makes full use of "quantum transformation" technology similar to that in the Transformers movies.
Using this less-than-scientific but very soul-guided method, Long You not only added more soul guides to his soul-guided power armor, but also met the requirements for the soul-guided power armor and battle armor to fight together, realizing the flow of soul power between the battle armor and the soul-guided mecha.
This is the first application of this technology.
Soul power flowed within the battle armor, and after being processed by the various inscription arrays on the armor, Long You's originally attribute-less soul power was transformed into lightning-attribute power. Furthermore, the soul power, which had initially flowed smoothly, began to form nodes under the influence of the battle armor.
If anyone could see these soul power nodes, and had witnessed Long You's use of the Savage Rhinoceros Charge in his private soul guidance laboratory, they would now discover that if these soul power nodes were filled with "flesh and blood," they would actually be the raging savage rhinoceros that smashed the level-five shield target.
If it were just the battle armor, the attack would have been enough to unleash its power at this point, but now the battle armor and the soul-guided power armor are fighting together.
As if formed by lightning, the rhinoceros node model quickly connected to the soul-guided power armor through the energy circuit between the battle armor and the soul-guided power armor after it was completed.
At this moment, the left arm armor of Long You's raised soul-guided power armor began to expand amidst a series of mechanical sounds, forming the shape of ring-shaped energy-gathering soul guides.
In Long You's perception, the appearance of these ring-shaped energy-gathering soul guides made the plate-armored rhinoceros node model formed by his battle armor even more robust, sturdy, huge, and savage.
