Mechanical Flesh

No matter how stubborn Pei Zongyan was, as Qi Yuan showed his strength step by step, he began to feel the invisible pressure from Qi Yuan.

With Qi Yuan's age and the non-standard abilities he has mastered, if Ke Shoulin and Feng Gan hadn't targeted him, entering the shelter would be a sure thing. As long as the crisis management department and the war department got the news, they would even snatch people away.

This has happened to Blacksteel Shelter before.

Although most of the refugees in the wilderness are mediocre wastes, under the huge population base and complex living environment, there have also been a few amazingly talented people.

Some wilderness refugees who are looked down upon by the residents of the shelter can only struggle to survive in the wilderness, but once they step into the shelter and are nourished by enough resources, they will soon soar into the sky.

Mo Sheng from the Detective Department is one of the best!

It took him only seventeen years to climb from a wilderness refugee to the position of deputy director of the Wilderness Exploration Department, obtain P6 authority, and stand on the upper level of the pyramid of the Black Steel Shelter.

Moreover, it was rumored that Mo Sheng was about to step into the seventh level and become a high-level ability user.

Mo Sheng's limelight in the sanctuary even vaguely overshadowed Ke Shoulin, the real deputy head of the war department, relying on his strong strength and talent.

The residents of the shelter originally looked down on the wilderness refugees very much. It was because of Mo Sheng's strong rise that some people's views on the wilderness refugees changed.

Although some diehards don't like Mo Sheng, this cannot conceal the fact that the situation of the refugees in the wilderness is slowly improving.

Perhaps because he was born in the wilderness, Mo Sheng has always taken good care of the wilderness refugees who stepped into the shelter. That Fu Qingqing was trained by him, and now he has shown his true colors, faintly showing a bit of Mo Sheng's aura back then .

Once Qi Yuan's performance today reaches Mo Sheng's ears, even if he really becomes an assistant researcher, with Mo Sheng's personality, he will definitely open his mouth to Tan Qiu to ask for someone.

With Qi Yuan's talent and Mo Sheng's protection, even if Ke Shoulin really broke his face, he might not be able to suppress Qi Yuan.

When he thought that he had offended such a promising ability user for the two two-star glory trials that Ke Shoulin had promised, Pei Zongyan wanted to slap himself a few times.

If it's an opportunity for a three-star glory trial, maybe you can still consider it, but it's just two two-star glory trials, it's too worthless!

But Pei Zongyan is also very clear,

Now that he was on Ke Shoulin's boat, there was no possibility of getting off the boat, otherwise Ke Shoulin's anger would tear him apart without Qi Yuan doing anything.

Pei Zongyan's gloomy eyes glanced at several wilderness hunters, and his flustered heart slowly calmed down.

I still have a chance!

As long as I can prevent Qi Yuan from entering the shelter, I still have a chance!

Kou Haitao ignored the open and secret fight between Sun Jia and Pei Zongyan, and calmly tested the age of the remaining wilderness hunters.

The remaining few hunters were basically in the middle of the law, all in their thirties, except for one who was a bit beyond his expectations.

The last wilderness hunter named Qing was only eighteen years old!

Kou Haitao was also very impressed with Qing. Except for the monster Qi Yuan, Qing passed the first pass the fastest. He only took 8 minutes and 57 seconds, which completely reached the standard of the elite seeds of the war department.

And his fighting style is completely different from others.

If the rest of the people, including Qi Yuan, used their abilities to fight brutally, this person's fighting hides his skills.

Although he wanted to hide it deliberately, but when he was fighting on the last stone pillar, he showed a trace of his feet.

He used Zhanbu's fighting techniques!

Kou Haitao can be sure that this person is also Ke Shoulin's secret son, but he hides it better than the other two.

Thinking of the nine wilderness refugees who just passed the first level, three of them were Ke Shoulin's dark sons, and one Qi Yuan who was in trouble, Kou Haitao couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

It was a good recruitment assessment, but it was made into a mess by the struggle of several people!

Do we need to disclose this news to Qi Yuan as a gesture of favor or investment for this talented young man?

After thinking for a few seconds, Kou Haitao shook his head in his heart, denying this idea.

Remind Qi Yuan that it may not be able to change anything, but it will drag himself into the water.

Although I have passed the walker test and gained a certain status and self-protection ability in the Black Steel Asylum, it is still too reluctant to face a boss of Ke Shoulin's level.

For the sake of Qi Yuan, it is not a good deal to offend a powerful deputy head of the War Department.

Kou Haitao glanced at Qing.

Qi Yuan's score for the first test was 20 points, and this Qing's score was 18 points.

Qi Yuan's age score is nine points, and Qing's is eight points.

The scores of the two are very tight, which means that Qing has the ability to threaten Qi Yuan.

Although five quotas were given for this assessment recruitment, Tan Qiu gave Qi Yuan only one pit for assistant researcher. If no one else competed for this pit, Qi Yuan would naturally take advantage of the opportunity to enter the Black Steel Shelter.

But if Qing Tie is determined to compete with Qi Yuan for this pit, he may indeed squeeze Qi Yuan away.

Given that the scores of the two previous two assessments are very similar, if Qing is really a person in the shelter, then his pollution index must be lower than that of Qi Yuan, and as a person trained by the war department, his spiritual will will not be low. , the possibility of catching up from behind is high.

So how should Qi Yuan deal with this Qing threat?

There is only one radish pit that Tan Qiu dug, and the person with the highest assessment score can be selected first. If Qing has a higher score than Qi Yuan and chooses the position of assistant researcher, Qi Yuan will definitely not be able to compete with him.

Although Qi Yuan could still enter the sanctuary by selecting other places, Feng Qian and Ke Shoulin in the sanctuary were still watching.

Entering the Black Steel Shelter as a drug tester will directly fall into Feng Gan's hands, and choosing a place in the war department is also like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth.

There is still a possibility of respite after entering the Desolation Department, but unless Mo Sheng makes a move, he can't avoid the methods of those two.

Only the pit of an assistant researcher, with the help of Tan Qiu's protection, can temporarily evade those two black hands.

In order to deal with Qi Yuan, Ke Shoulin really did everything he could!

"Let's go to the third test, spiritual will!"

Kou Haitao is holding a golden headband in his right hand. The shape of the headband is somewhat similar to Monkey King's golden hoop.

In addition to the headband, Kou Haitao held a fist-sized transparent crystal ball in his left hand, which was obviously a set of testing tools.

"The testing process will be a bit painful, but I hope you can persevere and don't give up until the last moment!"

After Kou Haitao finished speaking, he handed over the follow-up tasks to the toolman Lei Xie.

Obviously, this is not the first time Lei Scorpion has acted as a tool man. He skillfully put the headband on his head and showed others how to use it.

"Look, after wearing this headband, your spiritual will will be able to interfere with this crystal ball!"

Thunder Scorpion activated the headband and at the same time let go of the crystal ball in his hand. The crystal ball immediately floated in the air out of thin air and slowly spun.

The rotation speed of the crystal ball gradually accelerated, and the muscles on Lei Scorpion's face gradually tightened, as if it was enduring severe pain.

Lei Scorpion took a deep breath and continued: "You need to use your spiritual will to control this crystal ball like me, and don't let it fall to the ground."

"This process will be a bit painful, but it reflects your mental strength. The longer you persist, the higher your final score will be!"

After finishing speaking, the Thunder Scorpion suddenly let out a muffled snort, and the rapidly spinning crystal ball suddenly trembled, as if its power had lost its balance, the speed of rotation slowed down visibly to the naked eye, and at the same time it slowly fell downward.

Lei Scorpion stretched out his right hand to catch the falling crystal ball, and at the same time took off the headband on his head, and then heaved a long sigh of relief.

In such a short demonstration time of less than a minute, a thin layer of sweat permeated Lei Xie's head, and his face was a little pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

Forty-six seconds!

Qi Yuan silently recorded the time Lei Xie lasted.

As one of the captains of Ling You's two hunting teams, Lei Xie's mental will is definitely not bad, but such a peak third level, he only persisted for forty-six seconds, although this is not necessarily his limit, but Lei Xie's reaction also gave Qi Yuan a general expectation.

Thunder Scorpion handed over the headband and crystal ball to the first wild hunter, and directly started the third test.

The Revenant Hunter took a deep breath, put on the headband with a serious expression, and then let go of the crystal ball in his hand.

The crystal ball floated in midair, slowly began to spin, and gradually accelerated.

As the crystal ball turned faster and faster, the muscles on the Revenant Hunter's face gradually began to twitch, and the eyes staring at the crystal ball began to congeal blood, as if he was suffering from great pain.

Twenty-one... twenty-seven... thirty...

Qi Yuan silently counted the time he persisted, and when he silently counted to forty-nine seconds, the Revenant Hunter finally couldn't help but let out a low growl of pain.

At the same time, the rotating crystal ball trembled slightly, and while slowing down the rotation speed, it slowly fell downwards.

"Forty-nine seconds, five points!" Kou Haitao calmly gave the final score.

The Revenant Hunter gasped to catch the falling crystal ball, his pale face was obviously unwilling, and the five points were obviously a bit low.

The second hunter took the headband and crystal ball, put them on his head, and started the test directly.

This wilderness hunter, who only scored five points in the age test, was obviously much stronger than the first hunter. He persisted until fifty-eight seconds before the spinning crystal ball shook and fell.

In the end, he scored seven points in fifty-eight seconds.

The strength of will of the next few Revenant Hunters was not far behind. The highest score was seven points, while the lowest score was only four points.

Soon, the head ring was handed over to the hunter who tried to sabotage Qi Yuan's assessment.

He put on the headband, and when the time reached thirty seconds, he suddenly stopped controlling the crystal ball, casually caught the falling crystal ball, and handed it to the next Wilderness Hunter.

Qi Yuan looked at that person in surprise. He obviously hadn't reached his limit yet. Compared with the previous few people, his expression was much more relaxed, and he seemed to terminate the test on purpose.

Is it knowing that the task cannot be completed, and voluntarily gave up the test?

Or is there another conspiracy waiting for him?

Qi Yuan's eyes flickered. Since the other party still followed after he passed the first test, he obviously did not give up his plan to continue targeting him.

But the subsequent tests were conducted separately under Kou Haitao's nose, and Sun Jia was watching for him, so how could they do anything else?

The test continued, and soon the head ring and crystal ball were handed over to another wilderness hunter who was trying to target Qi Yuan.

Like the previous accomplice, after persisting for about 30 seconds, he also chose to give up voluntarily.

The two assessment scores were at the bottom, which meant that the two had no chance of catching up.

Kou Haitao's calm eyes swept over the two of them, but he didn't speak. He just turned his head and gave Pei Zongyan a warning look.

Pei Zongyan looked at Kou Haitao with a gloomy face, the corner of his mouth twitched, but he didn't say a word in the end.

Soon, the head ring and crystal ball were handed over to Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan calmly put on the golden headband, and almost everyone's eyes fell on him.

At this moment, Qi Yuan noticed that the eyes of the two wilderness hunters looking at him were full of undisguised malice!

Want to kill me with your eyes?

Or is there a way to interfere with me?

Qi Yuan didn't go to see the two of them, no matter what means they had, since neither Kou Haitao nor Sun Jia made a sound, he could only see the tricks.

Through the headband, Qi Yuan clearly felt that his spiritual will seemed to have a substance, turning into invisible tentacles wrapped around the crystal ball.

These psychic tentacles are so sensitive that they hold the crystal ball with ease.

start!

Qi Yuan's eyes froze, his right hand was lightly released, and the crystal ball slowly spun.

At this moment, Qi Yuan deeply understood what kind of pain this test would bring to the tester, and why, Lei Xie's face was so pale.

Ability users at the peak of the third level have endurance far exceeding that of ordinary people. Ordinary physical pain can hardly affect them, but the pain at the level of spiritual will is completely different from physical pain.

The moment the crystal ball spun, the spiritual tentacles wrapped around were pulled one by one, and then broke.

The breaking of each spiritual tentacle is like a burning steel bar, piercing directly from the sky cap to the brain, bringing a kind of pain that directly points to the soul.

This pain cannot be defended against, cannot be avoided.

Moreover, if you want to keep the crystal ball from falling, you must drive the spiritual tentacles to continuously support the rotating crystal ball.

But the faster the crystal ball spins, the more the mental tentacles are torn off. As time goes by, this kind of pain that almost tears the soul is enough to drive a determined person crazy.

Qi Yuan's panting gradually became heavier, and as the mental tentacles were torn apart, the pain that tore the soul hit Qi Yuan's spiritual defense line like a tidal wave.

With the passage of time, Qi Yuan gradually discovered that although the steel defense could not resist the pain at the spiritual level, the mechanical mind seemed to have a certain effect.

Although the mechanical mind couldn't resist the pain, under the blessing of abilities, his mental tentacles seemed to become a little tougher, slowing down the speed of being torn off by the spinning crystal ball.

When Qi Yuan insisted on reaching twenty seconds, Pei Zongyan's gloomy gaze swept across the two wilderness hunters.

After the two of them exchanged glances with Pei Zongyan, they quietly lowered their heads to look at their own toes, their eyes quickly became hollow.

At the same time, Qi Yuan, who had just relieved the pain, suddenly felt two external forces brutally intruding into his spiritual will.
