Chapter 128 What the heck is Li Xin and Dunshan? An oversized wheelchair!
"My lord, actually, Wan'er has feelings for you..."
Shangguan Wan'er mustered her courage and spoke again.
But the next second, it was interrupted by another loud noise:
"boom--"
A golden beam of light descended from the sky, bestowing upon the user supreme equipment and treasures:
"Mid-grade Treasure - Thorn Gauntlets: Wearing or absorbing this item permanently increases physical attack and physical defense by 10%, and this effect can stack with skill bonuses!"
"kindness?"
Ye Han took it, and memories of his past life flooded his mind.
This is a must-have item for many top lane players.
Aaaaaah!!
Seeing this, Shangguan Wan'er was truly going crazy.
Why were you interrupted again? Are you deliberately targeting her?
"Yes, Wan'er, please continue."
Remembering the important matter, Ye Han looked up at Shangguan Wan'er again.
But then I saw her cross her arms, puff out her cheeks, and turn her head to the side.
"N-nothing!"
It was easy to tell from her tone that she seemed to be feeling resentful.
She was interrupted again as soon as she spoke; she really had to wait for the right time, place, and people!
"ah?"
Ye Han felt a mix of helplessness and amusement.
They were fine just a moment ago, why did they suddenly change their attitude?
That puffed-up face looks so silly and adorable!
"call--"
Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew by.
The wind rustled the veins of several golden ancient tree leaves.
The leaves, shimmering with a golden luster, fell like scattered gold dust.
A piece of hair landed right on the top of Shangguan Wan'er's head, but she didn't notice it at all.
"Wan'er, do you really have nothing to tell me?"
As Ye Han spoke, he took two steps forward and reached out to brush the leaves from the top of her hair.
The sudden closeness made the atmosphere in the air become subtle.
"Lord City Lord..."
Ye Han moved closer to brush away the leaves, but Shangguan Wan'er didn't notice.
At this moment, Ye Han's every move was misunderstood by her as deliberate attempts to get close.
Could it be that the city lord truly has feelings for her?!
Otherwise, why would he have previously called her "one of my people," and now he's so close to her...?
Before Shangguan Wan'er could figure it out.
Another loud bang echoed from the sky above.
"Boom—"
A burst of golden light suddenly erupted, and the old characters instantly reformed into rows of new characters:
[Combo Attack Ranking]
[8th Place: Blazing Frost Wheelchair Cannon Slash!]
[Representatives of the performers: Li Xin, Dunshan]
[Represents the faction: Chang'an City]
[Evaluation: God-tier offensive/defensive/control-type human-machine combination skill.]
This is a combination wielded by Li Xin and Dunshan, owners of the 'God-level Power Attack/Agility Attack Beast and Weapon Integrated Martial Soul - Zhujian' and the 'Super Support/Control/Defense Type, High-level Semi-Intelligent Mechanical Object'!
When activated, Dunshan transforms into a mobile fortress to support Li Xin. The power of their martial soul origins merges, and both share attribute bonuses. The former grants the latter protection, defense, and mobile invincibility, while the latter grants the former additional ice and fire attack attributes.
During this time, Dunshan's artillery attacks were imbued with the explosive power of Li Xin's Zhujian flames and the stagnant power of frost, greatly increasing their power. Half of the damage Li Xin's attacks dealt to the enemy could be converted into a true damage shield, setting a new record for defensive capabilities.
The core of this technique lies in compensating for each other's weaknesses, making the sum of its parts far greater than the sum of its parts. It integrates attack, defense, and control, using a combination of "mobile invincibility" and "extreme output" to sweep across the battlefield with overwhelming force. Wherever it passes, it's like a wheelchair crushing everything in its path, annihilating all life and leaving nothing but barren land!
[Advanced Reward: Mid-grade Supreme Treasure - Storm Greatsword, one Mechanical Origin Creation Pill!]
[Additional Reward (Faction nurtures talent, receives Heavenly Gift, claimed by Faction Leader): Three 100,000-year Perfect Self-Adapting Soul Bones!]
The moment the new rankings were announced.
The wind in the world seemed to freeze.
All living beings stared blankly at the sky, their faces filled with astonishment.
They can understand martial spirit combination attacks and soul beast combination attacks.
They can even understand the combined attacks of humans and spirit beasts.
But what on earth is this human-machine combination skill, Li Xin plus Dunshan?!
"Human...human-machine combination?! Soul-guided mechanical devices can also participate in combined attacks?!"
"Tianmu introduced Dunshan before; he's a soul tool! Soul tools and humans can also perform combined attacks?!"
"True damage shield! Mobile super armor! This is practically an overpowered wheelchair! Sit in it and sweep across the battlefield, who can stop you?!"
"That's the fifth one! Chang'an City has now made the list five times in a row! Are they really going to take all ten spots?!"
"And what the heck is this reward? A Mechanical Origin Creation Pill? Judging from the name, it seems to help Dunshan improve his quality? That's outrageous!"
The discussions were no longer like a volcanic eruption, but more like a celestial river overflowing its banks.
The major factions were also completely uneasy, and heated discussions broke out among them.
If mechanical objects can be fused together to create divine skills, wouldn't Dunshan be close to or equal to god-level quality?!
If I take the 'Mechanical Origin Creation Pill' as a reward, I'll probably be upgraded to god-level even if I'm not already!
...
Wuhun City, Papal Palace.
"Just how many trump cards does Chang'an still have up its sleeve?!"
Bibi Dong's face was ashen, and she clenched her fists tightly.
He was completely unaware that his fingernails were digging deep into his palm and bleeding.
First it was the human-beast trinity, then the fusion of demonic beasts, and now even mechanical contraptions... Damn it!
Both Yue Guan and the ghost below felt a wave of fear and cautiously said in trembling voices:
"Your Holiness, the Shield Mountain was only described as a level nine soul tool in the previous description; there's still a level ten Zhong Kui who hasn't appeared yet..."
"Is Zhong Kui perhaps Chang'an's true trump card? I wonder just how strong he is, and whether he can make it onto the combined attack rankings?!"
A look of surprise flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes as she realized that there was still one Zhong Kui statue that hadn't shown up yet.
She gradually fell into self-doubt:
"Damn it! The more we dig into Chang'an, the more terrifying it becomes. Is it really impossible to be an enemy of Chang'an? Even inheriting the Rakshasa God's power won't solve it?!"
...
Offering Hall.
The seven chief priests stared intently at the sky.
His already stiff expression became even more unpleasant.
Qian Daoliu's brows furrowed, and his lips trembled slightly.
"A highly advanced semi-intelligent mechanical device... can actually unleash a god-level combined attack technique with a Soul Master..."
"What exactly is this thing? Even I, a god-level worshipper, have never heard of it before!"
Several of the worshippers were well aware of their elder brother's concerns.
According to Tianmu's assessment, this mechanical device is a deadly weapon on the battlefield.
If Chang'an were deployed in a war, it could probably single-handedly annihilate an army of a million!
Qian Daoliu took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart:
"The waters of Chang'an run too deep! Fortunately, we haven't clashed with them yet. From now on, we must be on good terms with them no matter what, even if it means... humbling ourselves and kneeling!"
The golden crocodile and the blue phoenix exchanged a glance and both breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Bibi Dong didn't cause any major trouble during the last visit, otherwise we would have been doomed!
There's still a chance!
...
The Heavenly Dou Empire, Heavenly Dou City Imperial Palace.
The hall was already in an uproar because of what was displayed on the ceiling.
Emperor Xueye was in a state of panic, his voice trembling as he spoke:
"This combination of Li Xin and Dunshan is enough to sweep away an army of a million! How should we deal with them then?!"
Ning Fengzhi, standing below, sighed with a grave expression.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. If Chang'an intends to expand, with their current strength, no one can stop them."
"But from our last meeting, the Lord of Chang'an showed no intention of vying for the throne. As long as we don't antagonize him, we'll be fine!"
Emperor Xueye found this reasonable and felt somewhat relieved.
"Sect Leader Ning is right. We should prepare extra gifts for the competition in a day. Even if Chang'an doesn't appreciate them, we should still make sure they feel our sincerity!"
Everyone in the hall nodded in agreement.
Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, seemed lost in thought.
