Ling Cage: Enhanced Nanosteel Suit at the Start

This transformation is no longer a simple particle overlay, but a deep reconstruction from the inside out.

He felt the nanoparticles covering his entire body become active as if boiling, and the internal structure of the suit was optimized at the microscopic level, then reorganized, becoming denser and more efficient.

A slight metallic sliding sound came from my back as a hidden sword hilt storage device was seamlessly integrated. Countless tiny sensors, like nerve endings, were implanted into every key node of the suit. The most crucial change was in the brain helmet.

A massive, strangely ordered stream of data flowed into the depths of his consciousness, forming a completely new connection.

The whole process lasted about five minutes.

When the blue light dissipated, Chen Yuan's battle suit appeared to have changed little, still with a silver-gray base. However, upon closer inspection, the streamlined design was stronger, and the energy patterns at the joints were more complex and bright, giving the suit an overall understated yet sophisticated feel.

Behind it, there is an inconspicuous magnetic sword hilt interface that blends perfectly with the battle suit.

Chapter 7 The Debut of Loongson

The biggest change comes from the mind.

[Core unit initialization complete...]

[Sensor array calibration in progress...]

[Energy system takeover...]

[Neural connections are stable...]

[Dear Host, the super-intelligent optical brain core awaits your naming and final activation command.]

A cold, emotionless synthesized voice, clearer and more noticeable than the previous system notification, rang directly in his mind.

Sensing these changes, Chen Yuan grinned and said, "From now on, you'll be called 'Dragon Core,' my secondary brain, my battlefield commander!"

[Naming confirmed: Loongson. Privilege level: Highest. Host bound: Chen Yuan.]

[Loongson Online... Suit System in full control... Energy allocation optimized... Nano Repair Reserve activated, initiating repair of left shoulder armor damage... Estimated repair time: 47 seconds...]

[Warning: Abnormal life force fluctuations detected 73 meters to the left front, inside an abandoned pipe, consistent with snake-dog characteristics. Threat level: Low. Recommendation: Eliminate or avoid.]

"Oh, a sharpening gift right after leveling up?"

Chen Yuan's eyes blazed with fighting spirit. The power brought by the upgrade and the "full map vision" brought by the Dragon Core made him extremely confident. He subconsciously reached behind him.

It feels cold and heavy to the touch.

He gripped an ergonomically designed, slightly curved sword hilt.

He reached out and gently pulled from behind.

"Whoo, whoo, whoo..."

A deep, powerful hum resounded.

A plasma blade, condensed to the point of being tangible and flowing with unstable golden arcs of electricity, shot out instantly from the front of the sword hilt.

The light blade was about 1.5 meters long and emitted terrifyingly high temperatures. The light... was not pure energy white, but rather a yellowish-brown color.

"Uh...this color..."

Chen Yuan's lips twitched; the system's aesthetic sense was indeed peculiar.

But when he casually waved his hand, the light blade tore through the air with a sharp whistling sound, the scorching heat wave and the destructive energy it contained instantly made Chen Yuan overlook the problem.

"What a sword!"

Chen Yuan exclaimed in admiration, and the amplified power of the nanopulse flowed naturally throughout his body, seemingly merging with the light blade in his hand.

He no longer hid, striding towards the abandoned pipe marked with the Loongson logo, his footsteps echoing through the ruins.

"Fizz!"

Sure enough, from deep within the pipe came ten ferocious growls from the snake-dog.

A large snake-dog, noticeably larger than an ordinary snake-dog and with more muscular build, suddenly emerged.

His scarlet eyes locked onto Chen Yuan, his fangs bared, and saliva dripping from his mouth.

In the past, Chen Yuan might have needed to proceed cautiously, looking for an opportunity to strike hard.

but now……

He couldn't even be bothered to pluck the hummingbird.

"Dragon Core, mark the vital points, automatically mark the core of the Spirit Seed." Chen Yuan calmly gave the order in his mind.

[Target locked: Large snake-like dog.]

[Weakness Analysis: The Spirit Seed cores at the neck junction, the cranial sutures at the back of the head, and the heart region (requires armor penetration) have been marked.]

[Dynamic prediction: The target will pounce in 0.5 seconds. The attack path has been simulated, and the optimal evasion and counterattack routes have been projected.]

It's so convenient! Clear dynamic guide lines instantly appeared on the retinal projection inside the helmet.

The outline of the snake-dog's body was highlighted, and its attack trajectory was accurately predicted by a scarlet dotted line. At the same time, a dark blue light band representing the optimal counterattack route appeared in Chen Yuan's field of vision.

The snake-dog moved.

Its massive body unleashed astonishing speed, its fangs flying straight at Chen Yuan's throat.

The trajectory of the attack was exactly as predicted by Loongson.

A cold smile curled at the corner of Chen Yuan's lips.

Instead of choosing the lateral evasion suggested by Loongson, he faced the attack head-on and suddenly exerted force with his feet.

With the amplification of nanopulses and the boost from the flight thrusters, he moved at incredible speed, slightly shifting his body to the side and narrowly avoiding the gaping maw of the snake-dog! The foul-smelling saliva almost grazed his visor.

In the instant they brushed past each other, Chen Yuan's waist twisted violently like a taut spring, and his right arm, gripping the yellowish-brown electromagnetic laser sword, used the power of his waist and inertia to draw a swift and powerful golden arc.

"Hey!"

The sound of the light blade cutting through flesh was masked by the high-temperature evaporation of the plasma. There was no scene of blood gushing out because the wound was carbonized by the extreme heat the moment it came into contact with the flesh, sealing off any continued bleeding.

The grotesque head of the snake-dog flew high into the air.

The severed neck was charred black and emitted a pungent smell of burning protein.

The headless, enormous body propelled itself forward a few more steps by inertia before crashing to the ground.

The entire movement, from dodging to twisting the waist and swinging the sword, to beheading the enemy, was fluid and seamless.

quick! allow! ruthless!

It's full of the beauty of combining violence and technology!

Then, Chen Yuan finished off the remaining enemy, shattering the core of the Spirit Seed.

[Ding! Successfully killed a large snake-dog, gaining 300 survival points. Current total points: 728.]

The system notification sounded cheerful, like points were being credited to your account.

"Efficiency, that's what efficiency is all about."

The glow of nano-repair quietly flowed across his left shoulder armor, and the crack was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Energy readings are slowly and steadily recovering under the precise control of solar thin films and Loongson chips.

He raised his head and looked out over the ruins, where the roars of the Devouring Beasts seemed to have turned into a welcoming horn.

Upgrade complete, Loongson chip in hand, lightsaber sharpened, endless carnage.

With the guidance of the "Dragon Core" and the sharpness of the electromagnetic laser sword in his hand, Chen Yuan's movement and hunting in the ruins has shed its initial brute force and panic, and seems to be developing in a more elegant direction.

Chen Yuan was like a silver phantom walking on the edge of death.

With each step, the soles of the feet, covered in nano-alloys, precisely avoided the gravel and steel bars on the ground.

The Loongson chip's all-domain perception is like an invisible radar wave, constantly scanning the surrounding area within a radius of hundreds of meters.

On the visual interface of the helmet visor, faint markers were constantly flashing:

[45 degrees to the left front, 112 meters away, 3 hibernating snakes/dogs, threat level: low.]

[Right rear, 87 meters away, underground pipe entrance, 2 lurking spiny eels, threat level: medium (beware of corrosive attacks).]

[200 meters directly ahead, open area, Ground Roar x1 (patrolling), Threat level: Medium.]

The information flow, like a cold stream, silently entered Chen Yuan's consciousness.

He doesn't need to think; he only needs to execute the optimal solution.

Target locked: the three dozing snake-dogs at 378 meters.

Chen Yuan grinned. This time, he didn't rush to charge. Instead, he pointed the tip of his sword diagonally at the ground, with the blade close to the ground covered with gravel and metal scraps.

With a slight thought, the thrusters under my feet instantly provided a forward thrust.

"Sizzle—!"

Sparks are generated when the tip of the light blade comes into contact with the ground, and sparks and lightning streak along the way as it dashes forward.

The three-headed hydra was instantly awakened by the terrifying sound and the sudden burst of intense energy.

They poked their heads out, their scarlet eyes just catching sight of the silver figure trailing a blue-white flame, charging like a hellish chariot.

Chapter 8 Electromagnetic Laser Sword

"die!"

Chen Yuan's roar and the sound of light blades cutting through the air rang out at the same time.

He stomped his feet hard on the ground, and his body shot up like an arrow.

With the amplification of the nanopulse force, this jump directly propelled him onto the second-floor platform, which was several meters high.

The electromagnetic laser sword in his hand drew a perfect horizontal arc.

"Buzz, hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"

The three cutting sounds almost overlapped.

The light blade sliced ​​through solidified butter like a hot knife, passing effortlessly across the necks of the three snake-dogs that had just gotten up and hadn't even had time to react.

The high temperature instantly carbonized the wound, before even the blood could splatter.

Three hideous heads took off almost simultaneously, and the headless body stood frozen for a moment before collapsing to the ground.
