113: The battle was exhilarating!

The voice from the Trial Tower became intermittent.

Just as Bai Ye thought this thing was about to break, the entire pure white space began to tremble violently.

The light orb in the center extinguished cleanly and decisively.

Replaced by a heart-palpitating darkness.

"What's going on? Did you kill the conversation?"

Huang Shi shrieked and hurriedly hid behind Bai Ye.

Bai Ye also raised an eyebrow as he watched this sudden turn of events.

In fact, he had already sensed it from Huang Shi's conversation with the Trial Tower just now.

"Power is merely one of the steps leading to the truth."

Since that was the case, it meant that relying on powerful strength could bypass those pretentious questions.

What was the point of such questions? He might have this mindset now, but in a while, he might suddenly want to destroy humanity.

Fighting was more straightforward.

In the darkness, huge pupils like searchlights lit up.

A figure filled with the texture of metal and flesh walked out of the darkness.

Huang Shi widened his eyes and gasped.

It was a giant Tyrannosaurus Rex with a body size exceeding thirty meters.

But its body was similar to the monsters Bai Ye created, stitched together from various mechanical parts and wriggling flesh tissues.

It looked like a product of an evil experimental organization fusing mechanical parts with a normal Demonic Beast.

A pair of demonic wings made of metal unfolded behind it, bringing up gusts of blood-scented wind.

[Name]: Mechanical Skeleton Demon Dragon

[attribute]: mechanical/Evil/Dragon

[Rank]: Lord Intermediate Grade

[Aptitude]: Monarch Elementary

[Introduction]: The guardian of the final trial of the Tower of Inheritance, a super-ancient biological weapon created by fusing and modifying the genes of a Tyrannosaurus, mechanical parts, and a demon.

"A Lord Intermediate Grade with Monarch Aptitude..."

Bai Ye looked at the information on the illustrated compendium and finally felt a hint of pressure.

This guy was much stronger than all the opponents he had encountered before.

"Profaner... Die!"

A hoarse roar came from the Mechanical Skeleton Demon Dragon's loudspeaker.

Its half-mechanical, half-biological pupils stared fixedly at Bai Ye, and without a word, it came crushing towards him.

Bai Ye grabbed Huang Shi and threw him far away, then...

"Sage Mode, activate!"

Facing a Lord Intermediate Grade opponent, even he dared not be the slightest bit careless.

"Roar!"

The Mechanical Skeleton Demon Dragon had already rushed in front of him, its claws covered in sharp blades filled with overflowing Evil attribute energy; just looking at it made one unable to help but become brutal.

"Energy-Storing Nature Fist!"

Boom!

Grass-type energy and Evil attribute energy collided, dyeing the entire space green and black.

Huang Shi was blown by the aftermath of the energy explosion, rolling on the ground several times.

If he hadn't held onto a pillar for dear life, he would have been blown away long ago.

The two sides collided continuously, with the two different attribute energies rippling outwards.

Bang!

Bai Ye ultimately couldn't hold on; the Rank gap was simply too large, and Bai Ye's figure was shaken backward by the immense force for dozens of meters.

Huang Shi's eye twitched constantly; he had to admit that Bai Ye had once again shattered his imagination of a Beast Tamer's strength.

A Lord Intermediate Grade Demonic Beast, and this kid could go head-to-head against it?

Was the Beast Tamer Association that trained him crazy?

To actually let a Genius who was destined to become a Legendary Beast Tamer run around the world.

A string of data flashed in the Mechanical Skeleton Demon Dragon's mechanical pupils.

It was analyzing the data of the creature in front of it that could take its strike head-on.

In less than a second, it finished the analysis.

Insufficient data; no similar intelligence in the database.

More combat required.

Another sharp claw swept over like a sickle, blocking Bai Ye's left side.

At the same time, a giant steel jaw filled with interlocking sharp teeth popped out from its chest, closing downward from above in an attempt to swallow him whole.

Up, down, left, and right, a cage made of steel and sharp claws formed.

Bai Ye sank his legs, and using this reaction force, he shot into the sky like a bolt of golden lightning.

Just a split second before the giant claws and teeth closed, he squeezed through the gap, dangerously close.

"Fast speed, great strength, truly a good opponent."

Bai Ye hovered in mid-air, flexing his slightly numb wrists.

Although he had blocked the strike from their collision just now, it still made him feel immense pressure.

Relying on Sage Mode plus the seven-fold strength boost from Photosynthesis, it was a bit difficult to defeat this guy.

Then... let's continue buffing myself.

"Overclocked Body Movement!"

This was an Intermediate-Rank skill he obtained from Phantom Snow.

It could unleash strength and speed that surpassed one's limits.

The price was that the more one pushed the body, the greater the burden placed upon it.

"Zzzzt!"

Fine bloodstains appeared on the surface of Bai Ye's body under his armor, and his muscles let out groans of agony under the overloaded operation.

He had pushed Overclocked Body Movement to the limit he could reach all at once.

A tearing, excruciating pain spread throughout his entire body.

[Your HP has decreased by 10%...]

[Talent 'Unyielding' has been triggered!]

[All attribute combat power increased by 20%!]

"Come on, let's continue, you big hunk of metal!"

Under the new round of combat power boosts, his speed and strength once again achieved a qualitative leap.

His left foot stepped on the air, leaving a cylindrical shockwave in the air, and he soared into the sky, appearing above the Mechanical Skeleton Demon Dragon in an instant.

As long as the strength is strong enough and the speed is fast enough, one can completely break free from the shackles of gravity.

"Taste this!"

Bai Ye's right leg tensed into a straight line, like a battle axe descending from the sky.

The leg, filled with green light, carried a whistle that tore through the air, slashing directly at the Mechanical Skeleton Demon Dragon's head.

The Mechanical Skeleton Demon Dragon's reaction was so fast it didn't seem like a giant machine; its huge head suddenly retracted.

The metal demonic wings behind it closed upward like lightning, protecting its head.

Golden light also emerged on its body surface.

Dragons Protection!

Clang!

The thigh rubbed against Dragons Protection, and sparks flew everywhere.

Crack!

Dense cracks appeared on Dragons Protection.

Bai Ye continued to output energy.

Dragons Protection shattered.

A deep dent was smashed into the Mechanical Skeleton Demon Dragon's wing, but Bai Ye's full-force strike failed to pierce through it.

An immense counter-shock force came, and Bai Ye was sent flying backward.

"Is its defense also this abnormal?"

Bai Ye stabilized his figure in mid-air, looking at the Mechanical Skeleton Demon Dragon's almost unscathed wing, his brows slightly furrowed.

Although Dragons Protection consumed a significant amount of force, the Mechanical Skeleton Demon Dragon's body was equally terrifying.

As expected of a war machine created by the Trial Tower.

The Mechanical Skeleton Demon Dragon had no intention of giving Bai Ye time to recover.

Opening its giant mouth, a dark red energy ball mixed with mechanical energy and demonic flames condensed in its mouth.

The destructive aura made Bai Ye's hair stand on end.
