Level Four Energy Machinery!

Garen was surprised as he quickly moved backward to evade the giant wolf’s attack. While doing so, he saw a petal shaped yellow item in the girl’s hand and started smiling.

Becareful! A huge sense of threat spread out as Garen retreated to the back, using the Instantaneous Paper Box to block an incoming attack without any hesitation.

At Level Three, the Instantaneous Paper Box was enough to threaten the Level Four Energy Machinist geniuses who were on the verge of becoming a Level Five. Its potency was extremely threatening.

Boom!!

A red light as thick as a pillar shot out as it hit onto Garen.

Boom!

Snowflakes were everywhere as the force greater than of a Level Five hit directly onto Garen.

Garen used his Scarlet Snow Technique and his powerful physical attributes to defend himself. He was slightly pushed back for about ten steps or more. His throat tasted sweet with the blood which he almost vomited out.

“Still thinking of escaping after taking a direct hit from my Red Laser Cannon?” The beautiful woman started smiling. This guy was hiding his true strength as well!

“Go!!”

Yiling shouted from afar and one could feel a sense of anxiousness in her tone.

Joey was entangled with a young man and couldn’t gain any upper hand against him. The frosty chill kept spreading out and he was in a draw against him.

Garen and Joey looked at each other in the eyes and both of them sensed trouble.

They had finally met upon a tough opponent!

A sonic boom could be faintly heard from afar and an intense force field, which wasn’t disguised in the least, were closing onto them quickly. It was obvious that another powerhouse was approaching and it didn’t feel like they were from the Scarlet Snow Sect.

“Retreat!”

The three of them retreated without saying another word as they leaped up into the air, to be captured by a green Flying Ship which flew past the sky in lightning speed.

The leader of the Dragon Eye Sect raised his head as he licked the blood mark under his chin.

“It’s the Thousand Shades of Hand Yiling… I’ve fought against her two hundred years ago… I didn’t expect to be able to meet her during this return.” He started to smile cunningly.” This little girl who was hunted by me has finally grown up so well. Nice…”

“Captain, we should go after them and kill them!”

A few Level Four Machinists landed behind him. Although some of them had the Experimental Energy Machinery Body while some didn’t have anything in their hands, each and every of them had a very powerful aura. Although they were only a Level Four, they had the presence which far surpassed of a Level Four.

“It’s alright. Our current objective is to obtain achievement in this war and that girl Yiling won’t help us achieve our objective. She’s incredible good in escaping. Although we may be able to kill her if we chase after her, it’s not worth the amount of time.” The man said coldly. “Pass on this intel to senior Agalla. Her team is most suited to deal with them.”

“Yes.”

*************

The green flying ship kept flying at great speed in the sky with no hint of slowing down.

The three persons in the flying ship were trying to catch their breath.

Both parties were fighting cautiously as none of them had activated their sophisticated Experimental Energy Machinery Body and it was fortunate that nobody was harmed. One had to realize that the Experimental Energy Machinery Body was the Energy Machinist’s root. The more advanced the Energy Machinery was, the higher the maintenance cost. This was the reason why no one would use it so casually. Energy Machinist, especially from Planet Naga’s central city would probe the situation with their real body before deciding to activate the Energy Machinery.

“That was a special force that was created such to kill off the elite teams.” Yiling’s face turned pale as one of her hands pressed onto her chest while the other wiped off the blood beside her lip. “It was fortunate that I discovered them in time and the enemy had just gathered up. Our bodies would definitely remain there if that was not the case.”

“The leader of the Level Four team was Beast, who was the fifth Powerhouse of the Dragon Eye Sect. I’ve seen him once fifty years ago.” Joey was tending to his wound on his face and he seemed to be in a life threatening situation just now.

On the other hand, Garen was sitting on his knees at one corner as he monitored his body’s condition quietly. The three of them was injured more than the eyes could see.

While the others didn’t realize, Garen was very sure that his body kept vibrating from the light strike he took head on just now. His muscles and organs shook non-stop, greatly exhausting a lot of energy that was supposed to be used in his recovery.

He had no choice but to keep his internal body’s condition in check to prevent any similar Willpower injury similar to the Seventh Wind General.

The other two seemed to have suffered the same injury and it seemed to be a technique unique to the Dragon Eye Sect.

“What do we do now?” Joey looked at Yiling as he waited for her to give a suggestion since she was the strongest among the three.

“Let’s hidden ourselves to create some cannon fodder and exhaust some material to recover ourselves.” Yiling said softly. “The Dragon Eye Sect has started to attack and we have no idea how many powerhouses they have sent. We are outnumbered so we should let the large force to clash with them first before deciding on our next move.”

“Alright.”

Joey and Garen both agreed on the plan. Since they were lacking on intel, they could only take this course of action.

It wasn’t just Scarlet Snow Sect who was in the qualifier. Since it was the grand opportunity for the disciples of the Dragon Eye Sect to attack to obtain first place, these two sects would have to fight against sooner or later.

The three of them flew into an underground crevice in the sea of trees. They then dug a hole on the side of the wall deep within the crevice, hid themselves while they tried to recuperate and recover their strength.

Although Garen had hidden his true strength, his strength would only reach the level of an average Level Five even if he were to release the Cold Radiation and use his Ten Thousand True Technique. Seeing how the girl performed her skills with ease, Garen had a feeling that his opponent was also hiding her true strength. No one would know who were to win if they were to really battle it out. Afterall, an Energy Machinist had a lot of methods to achieve their means and no one would know what trump card an elite Energy Machinist had.

Inside the cave.

“Rumor has it that that guy Beast spent sixty years in researching the strongest killer move. I thought I could force him to use his Killer Move but I didn’t expect to not be able to handle him in his normal state…the Level Five is indeed something else.”

Yiling was in the Flying Ship’s driver seat and her injury seemed to have settled down and she was feeling much better.

“The one I encountered just now was most likely a new Powerhouse. I’ve heard that they have recruited a few Powerhouses into the Central Metropolis.” Joey said softly.

“I’ve already informed Mei Tilan’s team. Those who are in the top 5 should fight among themselves. All we need to do is to attack at the right moment.” Yiling said coldly. “To not take revenge is simply not my style.”

It was merely a grinding process with no bottlenecking to level up from Level Four to Level Five. One would just require to keep on grinding and accumulating and it was very normal for this process to last from decades to centuries. Although Garen was new and curious towards these Energy Machinists always speaking in the span of decades, he wasn’t really surprised at all.

The Beast’s team was not the strongest, but only the fifth strongest during that battle and one of his team member had the prowess of a Level Five. This region was truly a battlefield for the elites.

Garen gauged that his strength was still comparable to theirs. However, that was the result of being in the realm of martial arts which far surpassed everyone and possessing the Living Secret Technique Hellfrost Peacock Technique. Comparing to the Energy Machinists who had been accumulating for a long time, he was still too poor… Wealth represented definite battle strength to an Energy Machinist.

After the previous battle, he knew very clearly where he stood in this world. Among the many teams consisting of Energy Machinists, he was just on par to a normal elite team.

The three of them tended their wound underground. Fortunately for them, the Scarlet Snow Technique and the Dragon Eye Technique counter each other and they were fully recovered within three days. They recovered their physical and mental strength quickly after removing the vibration within them. It was fortunate for them that they had already accumulated some point by hunting the others. However based on Garen’s estimation, they could only obtain the Space Stone if they were able to kill at least fifteen men from the Two Hearted Disciples.

The levels of the Two Hearted Disciples consisted of at least Level Three Energy Machinists. If they were not careful, they would encounter a Level Four Powerhouse or even a Level Five Powerhouse, which was their main member such as Yiling as well.

Given the difficulty, one could imagine how valuable the Space Stone was. If planned properly, it was an achievable feat.

While the three of them were discussing their strategies, the great war outside were already brewing.

*************

Above the sea of trees, two golden and white human figures were fighting each other at high speed. A huge golden light and snowflakes were formed whenever they clashed against each other. Whenever the snowflakes or golden light fall down into the sea of trees, it would either cause a huge fire or ice spreading the entire area.

The forest which was already on fire was put off by the freezing cold air and the whole situation was at a stalemate.

“Hebrew and Beast, bring your men and retreat! Someone else is coming!” The golden man fighting in mid-air at high speed shouted to his back.

Beast, who was standing at the back had blood all over his face and injuries all over his bodies. The majority of his wounds were covered in ice and he looked extremely frightening.

He nodded as he covered his abdomen, shouting at everyone else to retreat.

Then, another muscular man nodded as he brought the rest to retreat.

“It has been so many years Nora, and you still have yet to improve. Not one bit. You disappoint me!” The white human figure in the sky used the Scarlet Snow Technique and hit onto the golden human figure’s shoulder. He then released a huge amount of cold air, condensing the water vapor in the air causing the whole atmosphere to start snowing. He was covered in a pure half transparent layer of Energy Field. It was the indication of a Level Five Powerhouse, who could use their Energy Field for defense.

A loud boom was heard as the golden light and cold air spread about everywhere.

“A pot calling the kettle black eh? You’ve been in the third position for so many years, March!” The man who was called Nora, the leader of the Dragon Eye Sect smirked as he took a few steps back. His body started glowing brightly in gold to the point where no one could open their eyes.

“My junior Mei Tilan is arriving soon. Are you sure you don’t want to leave?” March laughed softly.

“I’m not done fighting yet!” Nora lowered his head as he scanned at his juniors who were heavily injured. His face turned pale upon seeing the situation and scoffed. “Retreat!”

The Dragon Eye Sect used their remaining strength to retreat and left a huge amount of corpse on the battlefield. However upon looking closer, one could see that the corpses were mainly from the Energy Machinist’s followers and Biochemical Beasts. The corpses of the Energy Machinists were mostly Level One and Level Two and there were very little corpses of Level Three Energy Machinists.

Beast had left the battlefield with a group of men. Everyone in the team were practically injured and stricken. Beast himself was emitting chills that could be felt in the bone. It was obvious that he was hit by a Powerhouse with the Scarlet Snow Technique and the effect was still inside him.

Given the emergency circumstances, he had no time to heal himself but to retreat first.

Suddenly, three black figures came out from the trees from the side and intercepted the team…
