On Nuwa Continent, there is a dedicated trial ground responsible for various combat tests, data collection, and more.

The trial ground where Huo Lie stood was a vast open area, resembling a gladiatorial arena in design.

Huo Lie wore an enigmatic armor that he couldn't quite fathom, standing in the center of the arena.

"Is it not ready yet?"

Huo Lie's impatient voice came muffled from within the armor.

"Please be patient for a little longer, the combat will commence soon."

A small communication device was installed at the top of the armor's helmet, flashing green to indicate a clear conversation.

This sentence, the analyst at Nuwa Continent Data Analysis Center has already said thirty-five times today.

In the same dialogue, another villager from Flame Village participating in this test said it twenty-one times.

Could it be that the people of Flame Village compete to see who is more irritable to become the village chief?

This absurd thought crossed the mind of the young girl at the data analysis center.

"This is taking forever! With this time, I could've already finished off the Calamity Beast and gone home to eat meat!"

"I regret this, what kind of junk armor is this supposed to improve my abilities at all?"

"Is it not ready yet?"

The thirty-sixth time.

Just as Huo Lie was expecting to hear the same response again, the communication device above him suddenly buzzed and disconnected completely.

Immediately afterwards, an electronic synthesized voice came through Huo Lie's earpiece.

"Residual Fire Armor, activation successful!"

"Detecting Fire Element activity level, current level: Tier Seven!"

"Special adaptation complete."

——Boom.

From within Huo Lie's helmet, he saw a distant gate open.

A Calamity Beast emerged from within.

An integrated analyzer within the helmet displayed all the information about the Calamity Beast before Huo Lie's eyes.

"Moisture Turtle, Tier Six Water Elemental Calamity Beast. Skilled in Water Element attacks. No special abilities."

Only Tier Six, merely a Water Elemental Calamity Beast.

Huo Lie smacked his lips, a bit displeased with his opponent. But he still attacked immediately, aiming to defeat it in a few rounds.

In the instant he invoked the Fire Element within him, Huo Lie realized something was off.

Originally, his attack method involved releasing Fire Element from within, which would then condense to create explosions and burning effects, causing damage.

But just now, at the moment he invoked the Fire Element and released it from within, it disappeared!

Where did the Fire Element go?

Before Huo Lie could figure it out, the Residual Fire Armor's prompt sounded again in his ears.

"Successful absorption."

The next second, a blazing flame ignited outside the Residual Fire Armor, enveloping Huo Lie completely.

The surrounding air twisted from the terrifying temperature.

"Residual Fire Armor amplification data, amplification efficiency for Tier Seven is 380%."

"Currently injected Common Particles: twenty billion pieces, estimated maximum injection limit: fifty billion pieces!"

"No, beyond thirty billion Common Particles, the entire armor will fail to withstand the core temperature and completely melt."

Common Particles are the core material they developed to repeatedly amplify Fire Element.

It is also the essence of the entire Residual Fire Armor.

"Continue combat testing..."

Within the Residual Fire Armor, Huo Lie suddenly felt very hot.

This is quite amusing for a Tier Seven Fire Ability User.

How could he feel hot?

This must be an illusion!

Thinking this, Huo Lie immediately gave up pondering further.

Wearing the Residual Fire Armor, he lifted his right hand and, using his habitual attack posture, aimed at the Moisture Turtle.

A crimson flame shot out from Huo Lie's right fingertips.

Wherever the flames touched, the gravel on the ground melted.

The space was charred black from the burning, and unknown substances slowly dripped down in mid-air.

The entire gladiatorial arena was filled with searing heat that burned everything.

The rampaging flame turned into a fiery serpent, engulfing the Moisture Turtle in an instant.

Instant kill!

It was an instant kill!

"Gulp."

Seeing this, Huo Lie realized something was amiss, even if he was not the sharpest mind.

The casual Flame Attack he unleashed had such power?!

"Hahaha, I'm invincible!" Huo Lie laughed heartily, his hands on his hips.

In the gladiatorial arena, Han Zhan couldn't help but suggest to Shang Siteng nearby, "Is there any provision for an external brain in the Residual Fire Armor?"

"External brain? No, this is just armor, it doesn't need an external brain or anything like that."

"No, believe me, it's very necessary." Han Zhan emphasized, looking at the foolishly joyful Huo Lie.

Shang Siteng: "..."

In the battlefield, Huo Lie then noticed Shang Siteng and Han Zhan standing nearby, and he quickly approached.

"Hey, Lord Han Zhan, Lord Shang Siteng, this Residual Fire Armor is really fantastic, wearing it makes me feel like I'm about to evolve into Fire God!"

Not quite Fire God, more like a fire nutcase.

Han Zhan shook his head and explained the purpose of the visit to Huo Lie.

Upon hearing it, Huo Lie instantly and decisively pounded his chest. "Is there any need to ask? Who else in Flame Village could qualify besides me?"

He certainly did not even consider the process, definitely didn't!

Shang Siteng watched Huo Lie still laughing foolishly, silently took out a communicator, and sent a suggestion to the analysis center to install an external brain as the core for the Residual Fire Armor.

...

Wind Tunnel Testing Institute.

An intelligent chip was implanted in Feng Pingcheng's neck, guiding him with the knowledge and operations necessary to pilot and awaken the Wind Kite Starship.

The exterior of the Wind Kite Starship looked extremely futuristic with a drag-free streamlined shape, vastly different from typical starships.

Because its design sacrifices defense, monitoring, energy shield, and all extraneous components to maximize speed and lethality.

The role of the Wind Kite Starship in the battlefield is akin to a sharp surgical knife piercing through the Star Sea.

Even with the assistance of an intelligent chip, it took Feng Pingcheng half an hour to adapt to the operation of the entire Wind Kite Starship. If it were Huo Lie instead, this time would likely be at least half a year.

Watching the signal lights gradually lit up in the wind tunnel.

Feng Pingcheng gripped the energy lever close to the right-hand side and slowly pushed it forward one notch.

"Advance one."

"Wind pressure normal, wing airflow speed normal."

Feng Pingcheng pushed the energy lever again.

"Advance two."

"Ascent height normal, hull resistance normal."

"Start utilizing Wind Talent, covering the Wind Kite Starship, attempting to integrate with it."

The externally programmed chip, specially designed for the villagers of Fengbai Village, continued with the next prompt.

As a Tier Seven Wind Ability User, Feng Pingcheng started spreading and enveloping the Wind Attribute energy, pale green in color, from the starship cockpit to the entirety of the Wind Kite Starship.

From outside the wind tunnel, the Wind Kite Starship appeared as if wrapped in a special pale green energy light membrane.

As this light membrane completely enveloped,

The monitoring system of the wind tunnel test saw all original moderate values suddenly soar to the maximum limit.

"Oh no!"
