Despite his consternation, Joad felt a surge of relief.

A breakthrough in times of crisis is the best proof of one's extraordinary talent.

The potential that Yuri and Lina showed was beyond his imagination, and that was a good thing.

In the passage above, Yuri, whose boundaries were removed, felt an endless stream of power surging from his limbs and bones, like thousands of streams converging into a river.

This was the first time he truly felt the surging vitality in his body.

Without any hesitation, he immediately began to practice the various secret techniques he had learned.

Ever since he mastered the "Immortal Cicada", his path of martial arts has deviated from the norm.

The steady and cautious practice method of ordinary combat professionals is too slow for him, because he truly feels that every time he sheds his skin, it is a sublimation of life. The greater the pressure he endures, the more thorough the transformation will be.

While majoring in "Immortal Cicada", he also practiced a variety of "high-efficiency and fast-acting" techniques.

The so-called high efficiency and quick learning are because most of these skills were the authentic teachings of evil cults in the early years. After being collected and sorted by AI, they have long lost their sectarian bias and are only marked as "high-risk" categories.

After careful screening, he avoided those extreme techniques that would shorten his lifespan, but still chose a large number of techniques that would increase his strength quickly at the cost of overdrawing his Qi and blood and sapping his energy.

These costs would be fatal to ordinary people, but not a concern for Yuri.

As long as you activate "Divine Metamorphosis" once, all overdrafts will be reset. Not only will your body recover to its original state, but it will also be significantly improved after being fully exploited.

Because of this, this first-year student, with the support of multiple skills, can burst out with instantaneous power that exceeds the average level of second-year students - this is also the reason why he was able to intervene in the battle between Avalon and the bionic robot.

After removing the boundaries at this moment, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his control over his body had reached a new level.

The surging vitality in the body seemed to be inexhaustible. When using "Immortal Cicada", all consumption was instantly replenished by this vitality, as if no price was paid.

In an instant, Yuri suddenly understood.

A mysterious sound of Tao seemed to ring in my ears, and countless inspirations burst into my mind.

He suddenly realized that he was still too conservative in developing his body.

The greatest value of those overdraft-type exercises is that they provide ideas for developing potential.

He should follow this direction and forge his own path.

Conventional martial arts were limited by side effects, and practitioners had to balance the pros and cons like walking a tightrope. But this made no sense to Yuri—he could have been more daring.

His mind raced as he practiced the secret technique according to the improvement plan that emerged in his mind.

His skin instantly turned red and bled, his flesh tore open, and his body felt as fragile as a blown-up balloon. But Yuri felt better than ever, as if he could fly with just a thought.

His eyes were fixed on Lina not far away.

His body shape changes like smoke and fog.

The next moment, he appeared beside her.

Just at this moment, the whistling sound of pulse weapons broke through the air.

The fiery trajectories intertwined into a web of death, covering Lina's head.

Yuri appeared in front of Lina, raised his hand proudly, and tried to block all the pulse bullets.

Before this, a sense of crisis like a tide came from all directions, washing over Lina's perception. With nowhere else to go, Lina inevitably fell into panic.

There was no sign of life in all directions as far as the eye could see.

This sense of crisis, surrounded by death, brought Lina deep despair.

Even though she had removed the boundaries and grasped the ray of hope in the previous desperate situation, she did not expect that this ray of hope would only bring him to a new desperate situation.

There is no change in the results.

Just as Lina was sinking into despair, she saw a figure suddenly protect her. She instantly recognized it: it was Yuri.

With the appearance of Yuri, a ray of light suddenly appeared in the dark and desperate situation.

At this moment, an indescribable throbbing surged in her heart.

"careful!"

Before the word "heart" was uttered, a series of explosions were heard.

Bang bang bang bang!

Yuri's arms did keep up with the speed of the bullet, which proved that Yuri's talent was indeed amazing. With the help of various secret techniques, his speed far exceeded the level of first-year graduates.

But before he could be surprised, the pulse bullet easily penetrated his body.

A look of surprise crossed Yuri's face.

In his expectation, his body was nourished by the immortal cicada, and with the defensive skills he practiced and various secret techniques as supplements, with vitality as fuel, it should be easy for him to stop this standard weapon.

He underestimated the power of the pulse weapon. Even if he pushed his skills to the extreme, he was still not strong enough to withstand it head-on.

But on second thought, Yuri understood.

Today, the entire order is under the control of the main AI. Most combat professionals are belligerent by nature and do not follow the rules. If there is space, they can do whatever they want. With a large population base, some people actually try it.

But now, the general order of society is still under the control of AI, which means that AI must have a way to counter combat professionals.

Standard weapons are not completely useless.

Fortunately, even if things exceeded his expectations, it had no effect on what he wanted to do.

In a flash, he used his other hand to push Lina upwards.

Lina escaped from the trap thanks to Yuri's support, but Yuri took her place, his body torn into pieces by the scorching beams.

Lina, rising up, looked down and witnessed Yuri being torn to pieces by bullets like a broken doll.

Even though she knew it was a simulated training and that he was carrying the "Immortal Cicada", the intense grief still strangled her breath.

For a moment, she wanted to give up escaping, wanted to reach out and grab her falling companions, wanted to tear apart the robots around her, but reason made her restrain her impulse. She just looked at the figure deeply for the last time, turned over and jumped into the nearby passage.

The figure flashed and disappeared into the darkness.

……

Just as Lina and Yuri broke through upwards, the bionic robot in the core of the explosion was falling rapidly.

Despite two rounds of fierce bombing, the surface of the fuselage was charred and mottled, but its combat function was well preserved.

For this bionic robot, dropping from the sky was the most familiar way of attack, and it used the same trick without hesitation.

Of course, the bionic robot was not in good condition at the moment, but Jode's situation was even worse.

What was even more deadly was that this time it was he, not Avalon, who had to face the attack, and there was no Yuri to block the fatal blow for him.

Confronting things head-on was not Joad's strong point.

Joad struggled to get up from the ground and tried to dodge.

However, the bionic robot follows him like a shadow. No matter how he changes direction, the opponent can always accurately predict his movement trajectory, and the robot's falling trajectory will be adjusted accordingly to firmly lock onto the target.

After several attempts, Joad felt a sense of powerlessness.

There is no way to avoid it.

No matter which direction he dodged, he would eventually face the shadow of death falling from the sky.

The other party's judgment of his intentions and direction was extremely accurate, which gave Qiao De the illusion that he was completely controlled by the other party.

Despite this, Joad did not sit idly by.

He deliberately slowed down his pace to conceal his true intentions, while silently calculating the distance between him and the bionic robot in his mind.

Fifty meters...

Fifteen meters...

ten meters.

It's now!

If it gets any closer, there will be no time to react.

Joad swerved, trying to break free from the lock.

Unexpectedly, the bionic robot adjusted synchronously and pursued him relentlessly like a thorn in his flesh.

"You can't dodge! You can only try to resist."

Jode tried to relieve the force with his right hand, but the moment he touched the robot, he felt an irresistible force coming.

The essence of unloading force is to be able to withstand the impact.

The so-called "a little force to move a great object" requires that one can withstand a force of a thousand pounds.

But now it seems that Jod obviously does not have such ability, and more importantly, unloading force is not what Jod is good at.

Tsk-!

Jode barely managed to move to the left to create some distance, but his entire right arm was gone.

The cross-section of the wound was shockingly smooth, which showed how fast and effective the opponent's attack was.

If the speed were even slightly slower, it would be impossible to form such a smooth cross-section.

"Hahahahahaha!"

Joad suddenly burst into laughter.

Although his combat power was greatly reduced due to the loss of his right arm, he noticed that Lina successfully broke through with the help of Yuri.

"Alright, alright, remove the boundaries and make decisive decisions. Yuri, this little guy, will not be an ordinary person in the future."

Their plan was successful after all - even though it was achieved with the other party's deliberate letting them off, it was enough to slightly ease the suffocating feeling that had been lingering in their hearts.

From the beginning of the battle, although it was short, the oppressive feeling brought to him by the bionic robot was almost suffocating.

During his first tentative attack, he tried his best but was easily neutralized by the opponent. At that moment, he understood the difference in strength between the two sides.

If he were to fight head-on, he would have no chance of winning.

But strangely, their attitude remained somewhat nonchalant, almost relaxed. It was this underestimation of their enemy that gave them an opportunity. It was as if they were certain that no matter how hard they struggled, they would not be able to escape, and so they allowed them to discuss countermeasures and buy time.

Thanks to this "privilege", they were able to send Lina away.

But that’s all.

There was a slight vibration under my feet.

Through the transparent ground, you can see a capsule marked "Yuri" floating up in the deep blue solution pool. The capsule is connected to various instruments and is slowly being pieced together.

not good.

They wanted to capture Yuri.

Reason told Jode that given their current situation, it was only a matter of time before they were arrested.

The text message told Qiao De that even if someone wanted to catch someone, he should be caught first. Before he lost his ability to resist, he would never allow the snow brother he brought with him to be harmed.

"Let him go!"

Jode endured the severe pain and rushed to the capsule, smashing the capsule shell with his left fist.

But his intention was too obvious. The bionic robot came up behind him like a ghost, pressed down on his back with one hand.

boom!

Joad was pinned to the ground.

As the robot approached, six or seven lasers suddenly shot out from Jod's body, like the sharp quills of a porcupine.

It pierced his original body, creating gaps one after another.

These lasers are extremely fast, but despite this, at extremely close distances, the bionic robot seems to have foresight, twisting its body at incredible angles, forming strange postures, and accurately avoiding each laser.

Even though his body was dodging, the hand pressing down on Joad was as steady as a rock.

Joad gave up.

"Damn, monster."

He had tried his best, even revealed his last trump card, but with little effect.

He could only watch as a capsule suddenly slid open from the ground.

Several robotic arms controlled large vacuum cleaner-like suction heads, some pointing to the sky and some close to the ground. In just a few seconds, Yuri's flesh and blood remains were cleaned up.

In the sealed capsule, Yuri regenerated his complete body from the broken body, and the shed old body turned into a membrane as thin as a cicada's wing.

But at this time he had closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

A large amount of sedatives and sleeping pills had already been prepared in the cabin. They would not trigger the body's defense mechanism, but would instead allow him to sleep comfortably and enter a deep state of recovery.

These tranquilizers were formulated according to the dosage for top combat professionals, and Yuri lost consciousness before he could even resist.

……

In the main control room.

The capsule's surveillance footage immediately appeared in a corner of the screen, detailing Yuri's various stats. The data showed that the potion had taken effect the moment it came into contact with him—Yuri fell asleep almost immediately, but his mental state remained intense.

This means that even in deep sleep, his mind continues to work.

"Even while unconscious, he still completed the subsequent cicada molting and recovered as before. This proves that simply putting him to sleep does not inhibit the automatic recovery function of the Immortal Cicada technique."

"It's truly a remarkable feat. However, once one is unconscious and their consciousness is immersed in a dream, how can they restore their body to its original state? Doesn't that require the intervention of their own consciousness?"

Noah muttered to himself, sounding unsure.

But he still ordered the Hounds and their team: "Record all the data, don't miss a single one."

……

Yuri was taking shape in the capsule, and Jod saw this scene.

"Where's Avalon? Save him."

He struggled to turn his neck to see what was going on on Avalon's side.

As soon as he moved, the bionic robot increased its force, pressing him even tighter.

He was pressed tightly against the transparent floor, watching the capsule below float up little by little.

have to.

Your own "residence" is here.

Jode smiled bitterly and muttered to himself: "I wanted to buy Lina more time...but I couldn't even hold on for five minutes. It's so embarrassing."

He could only try his best to turn his face sideways, move little by little, stretch his neck, and look for the figure of his companion in the extremely limited field of view.

"Are you looking for him?"

As he spoke, a dark shadow fell heavily in front of him.

Joad looked up, and the last ray of hope in his heart died.

Avalon had been beaten unconscious, his limbs twisted at unnatural angles, and it was obvious that he had been in a fierce battle.

Although the bionic robots were in a rather miserable state—their bodies were covered in dents—they were still able to move, which already announced the outcome of the battle.

They put Joad and Avalon into the capsule one by one.

The three capsules slowly sank into the solution pool and parked side by side next to David and others.

Six capsules are quietly suspended in the deep blue solution.
