A Beast Master who knows Buddhist Technique and Mechanical Technique, but has never been seen taming beasts!

All the cultivators present thought so.

However, Lin Jing thought this statement was incorrect.

This mecha, to be accurate, wasn't piloted by him.

Lin Jing merely used mechanical technology to assemble these materials, but he himself couldn't control the mecha.

The one truly controlling the mecha was the Pine Leaf Mouse.

So theoretically, he was taming a beast, and the pet beast was piloting the mecha!

Of course, some didn't acknowledge the mecha as a mechanical construct.

Advanced mechanical constructs are created by integrating soul cores, controlled by the heart and mind of the mechanical master.

Like Mo Qianyi's Immortal Shooting Chariot, which has a soul core integrated inside, allowing her to control the entire vehicle with her exquisite mind.

It's akin to how cultivators refine magical treasures and use mana to activate them, but one controls with the mind and the other with mana.

This huge mecha had no soul core, so to Yan Xiangbei, it couldn't possibly be a mechanical construct.

However, Lin Jing felt this statement was incorrect too.

After all, the Pine Leaf Mouse controlled the mecha not with mana, but with its mind, just like how it controlled the red flying leaf, and the actions of the mecha were also controlled by the Pine Leaf Mouse's mind. Its connection to synthetic wood was through the mind.

Since both are controlled with the mind, why can't this mecha be a mechanical construct?

"Take this."

Zzz!!!

The blood-red mecha had only been on passive defense counter, but now, as the power surged efficiently, the mecha quickly formed a long blade made entirely of vital energy and blood in its hand.

Swish!!!

The several-meter-long blade roared towards Yan Xiangbei.

Facing this terrifying blood blade, Yan Xiangbei didn't have time to think. He began to conjure a mid-grade magical treasure, a small gate-shaped item that, powered by his divine body, emitted three layers of phantoms, standing in front of him.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The three barriers blocked the blood blade, yet the blade shattered each one instantly, cutting through the three defenses. Yan Xiangbei was sent flying by the huge aftershock, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"A single blood blade broke through my three layers before dissipating!"

"Such blood energy, even ordinary Golden Core Body Cultivators don't possess it. The most terrifying thing is the continuous and undiminished vitality." He covered his chest, put away the gate-shaped treasure, and prepared to attack instead of defend, taking out a mid-grade magical treasure-level flying sword.

"Go!" Yan Xiangbei formed a single-hand seal, and the flying sword instantly flew towards the mecha's chest. However, the huge mecha immediately opened its mouth, spewing blood energy. The scent of blood and wind was nothing compared to the massive blood energy storm that slowed the flying sword, forcing Yan Xiangbei to recall it.

"What on earth is this thing..."

Although with his current minor heavenly divine body he couldn't amplify the mid-grade magical treasure's power to high-grade might, the power was absolutely far beyond a burning low-grade treasure, yet it was still suppressed!

Yan Xiangbei felt immense pressure.

Seeing this scene, the audience was silent, extremely curious about the powerhouse Lin Jing was driving.

Experts from the Divine Strategy Manor had also come with Mo Qianyi, and these mechanical masters were very eager to see what the structure of this mechanical construct was.

Unfortunately, there was a seal on the mecha that blocked divine senses. Although the seal level wasn't high, their divine senses could forcefully break through, but usually, such a seal would cause the mechanical structure to self-destruct upon breakthrough; it was something some mechanical masters devised to protect their secrets. Moreover, at this moment, this was the Phoenix Competition scene, and if their divine senses influenced Lin Jing's battle, it would be akin to opposing the Celestial Secret Tower.

Although Divine Strategy Manor was the top mechanical heritage power of the ancient country, it wouldn't go against the Celestial Secret Tower's competition for one mechanical construct's secret.

"But it's certain that this mechanical construct's energy source is estimated to be demon beast's blood, right?" Mo Qianyi stood by, finding it quite fitting with the name of the Beast Taming Sect.

Subsequently, Yan Xiangbei frequently used his magical treasures, but unfortunately, none could affect the mecha, and the most frightening thing about this mecha was its endurance. With mosquito power existing, plus the Pine Leaf Mouse's reserves, Lin Jing could fight as long as he wanted, so for now, he didn't mind playing with Yan Xiangbei for a while.

After all, he hadn't had much chance to play since creating the mecha.

Yan Xiangbei... was falling behind!

As the match reached this point, the academy's teachers, students, and Dragon Palace members were stunned.

Especially the Dragon Palace members, they recalled the fear instilled by mechanical bamboo spears once again this day.

When did they start forgetting that Lin Jing was also a mechanical master who once created the annoying mechanical bamboo spear?

Though mechanical bamboo spears are now obsolete in the Qi Refining Stage and useless in the Foundation Establishment Stage, they laid a reasonable foundation for Lin Jing to create even more terrifying things today.

"If I had known such a thing existed, I wouldn't have spent a fortune raising a dragon-blood pet beast and would have followed the Palace Master to learn Mechanical Technique directly." The descendant of Ice and Fire Island, who had been defeated by Mo Qianyi's Mechanical Technique and was recovering with pills, was very remorseful.

He watched the ring, finding it hard to imagine the third prodigy being so embarrassed.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" Yan Xiangbei was in a state of collapse, feverish all over, fleeing around the ring as every move of the massive mosquito-powered mecha had immense power, and its defense was terrifyingly strong, making it almost impossible to resist.

Yan Xiangbei was reluctant to sacrifice the mid-grade magical treasure. After struggling for a moment, he finally took out his high-grade magical treasure, a small white treasure lamp that could be held in the palm of his hand with radiant treasure light flowing around it.

"Superior magical treasure, Silent Extinction Treasure Lamp, emerge!"

A red-haired Yan Xiangbei floated in the air, summoning the strongest entity!

Seeing this, all the cultivators present held their breath, knowing that the crucial moment had arrived.

This Lin Jing indeed forced Yan Xiangbei to bring out his superior magical treasure!

It's just unknown whether this bizarre mechanical construct can withstand the treasure lamp!

"Rumor has it that the Silent Extinction Treasure Lamp contains a powerful strange fire, Silent Extinction Wild Flames, which, when fused with powerful mana, can easily burn even the Primordial Spirit." A Nascent Soul expert mumbled in the audience, such a treasure would be an absolute trump card even for us at the Nascent Soul Stage.

This artifact-wielding kid was already able to use it at the Foundation Establishment Stage; what a stroke of fortune!

Helpless, Yan Xiangbei finally unleashed his trump card, and from within the treasure lamp, countless white flames emerged. At this moment, Yan Xiangbei reversed the situation; the blood light from the mecha's eyes was instantly scorched by the white flames, and this third prodigy weakly looked at the mecha, determined to burn it to ashes.

"It seems the situation is about to reverse, and the shell of that mechanical construct seems to have metal and wood attributes... even if ordinary flames can't restrain it, such Silent Extinction Wild Flames... are different!"

Even Lin Jing was unsure whether the mosquito-powered mecha could withstand the might of a superior magical treasure.

But it's not important.

A real man pilots a mecha without planning for it to return intact.

"Activating this thing means you can't activate a treasure with a space-restriction spell, right?" Lin Jing murmured, and the next moment, Yan Xiangbei's pupils shrank, his entire body on alert. With the white flames sweeping in, the huge mecha's red light flashed rapidly, emitting a "beep-beep-beep" sound.

"Pine Leaf Mouse, activate the self-destruct system."

"How dare you!" Yan Xiangbei's pupils shrank. Then, under everyone's shocked gaze, the massive mecha suddenly stopped fighting and explosively self-destructed!

A mecha can't be without a self-destruct system.

Just a moment before the mecha self-destructed, Lin Jing and the Pine Leaf Mouse's forms appeared high above in the infinite sky, watching the rising massive red fireball below!!!

A red leaf, raised into the sky earlier during the battle.

Under the booming sound, high in the sky, a strong wind swirled.

"Alright, barely managed to resolve a strong enemy without injury." High above, Lin Jing's hair flowed with the wind.

The Pine Leaf Mouse, also exhausted, wiped sweat from its brow. Yes, it was unharmed, but the mecha met a rather tragic end.
