Are you laughing at me for not having a mecha? But I am the king of mechas!

Chapter 166 Peak of the Eighth Rank, One Month Ago!
Just as Wei Tiandi was about to leave, a steady voice rang in his ear: "You stay here and guard this place. I'll go myself."

This is the voice of the museum owner, He Yongnian.

An hour later, a mech in its normal state returned to the martial arts hall carrying a huge object with one hand. This monster did not escape the fate of becoming Zhou Luo's combat energy.

The next morning.

An astonishing energy fluctuation permeated the laboratory. This energy fluctuation had surpassed the peak of an eighth-tier armor master, but it did not reach the aura of a ninth-tier expert.

The last burst of battle energy was absorbed by Zhou Luo, thus ending the ninth-tier monster energy infusion.

After Zhou Luo drained the lifeblood of three ninth-tier monsters, his combat level rose from 72 to the peak of 89. He felt as if he had touched the ninth tier but was unable to break through.

The nutrient capsule slowly opened, and Zhou Luo gently leaped up and landed.

The door opened and a female judge walked in carrying a device, followed by several sixth-level judges.

A clear and melodious voice rang out: "Honorable Western Mad Arbiter, this is your Arbiter's Armor!"

The device was activated, and a mass of flowing dark golden liquid appeared in Zhou Luo's eyes. Zhou Luo reached out and gently touched the dark golden liquid, and the flowing liquid covered Zhou Luo's entire body like venom.

In an instant, the dark golden liquid transformed into hard and cold armor, which covered Zhou Luo's entire body, conforming to his body curves with a near-perfect arc, and every inch of the metal texture was engraved with intricate patterns.

The golden armor shimmered with a dazzling golden light, and on his chest was a golden Arbiter's Medal. The medal and armor accentuated Zhou Luo's nobility and power at all times.

Zhou Luo's golden armor was different from the golden armor of the other Arbiters. His armor looked far more luxurious than the armor of ordinary Arbiters. It did not show any low-key temperament. Just by standing there, it exuded a powerful aura.

"The Radiant Gold Armor is exactly what I wanted!" Zhou Luo clenched his fist, feeling the surging energy within him.

Zhou Luo felt as if he could shatter Mount Tai with a single punch.

However, he knew that this was just an illusion caused by his increased power. Even a ninth-level expert couldn't shatter Mount Tai with a single punch, but summoning a mecha could.

An eighth-tier expert is far from capable of doing that.

With a thought, Zhou Luo opened the head of his armor, revealing his head. When not in combat, armored pilots do not have their head armor covering them.

His gaze fell on the female judge in front of him. When Zhou Luo's gaze swept over her, the judge's pretty face blushed slightly, and she felt like she should bury her head in her chest.

"Thank you." Zhou Luo smiled slightly, then walked past the female judge and out of the laboratory.

After Zhou Luo left, the female judge covered her burning cheeks and stared in the direction he had gone with a lovesick look. Zhou Luo's single sentence had captivated her heartstrings.

With his appointment as the arbitrator, Zhou Luo's status and position rose to another level, second only to the heads of the various branches and the head of the main martial arts school.

Reaching his level means he's already considered a big shot in the eyes of others, the kind of person you can't even get close to even if you wanted to.

Zhou Luo arrived at He Yongnian's cultivation room, where he saw Wei Tiandi and He Yongnian drinking tea. When they saw Zhou Luo arrive, they only glanced up at him slightly.

"Not bad, kid. You've already broken through to the peak of the eighth rank, and there's not a single sign of unstable or unstable energy." He Yongnian gave Zhou Luo a deep look.

"Your private training room is on the thirtieth floor, and your combat level has broken through to the peak of level 89, but your cultivation technique has not improved. To break through to the ninth rank, you need to condense an aura of intent."

"I see you've already started cultivating the Intent Aura. You can train at the Heavenly Punishment Martial Arts Hall from now on. All the equipment in the hall will be open to you free of charge." Before Zhou Luo could even speak, He Yongnian had already arranged everything.

Zhou Luo nodded slightly when he heard this.

His main task right now is to adapt for a period of time before practicing the secret technique of the peak contract reward.

A month goes by in a blink of an eye.

Inside Zhou Luo's private cultivation room on the thirtieth floor, milky-white killing intent filled the air, and a halo of spiritual energy appeared behind Zhou Luo, with killing intent constantly entering his body.

Drawn by a continuous stream of spiritual energy, the killing intent relentlessly assaulted the final barrier. He was just one step away from opening up the Heavenly Cycle of Intent and condensing the Aura of Slaughter!
Just then, a "crack" sound rang out from inside Zhou Luo's body. The last barrier was broken through by the continuous killing intent. At this point, the Zhou Tian of intent was successfully condensed, and a milky white halo behind Zhou Luo began to rotate!
The murderous aura that filled the air began to be absorbed by the killing halo, eventually swirling behind Zhou Luo. At this moment, Zhou Luo felt that he could imbue his casual strikes with killing power, no longer limited to imbuing his mecha weapons with artistic conception.

"We have finally succeeded in creating the Killing Aura."

In the course of a month, Zhou Luo would plunge into the wilderness in the mornings to kill and accumulate killing intent, and in the afternoons he would cultivate various secret techniques on his own. Late at night, he would use his mental power to guide the killing intent to impact the Zhou Tian pathway.

His time was compressed to the extreme, leaving him with absolutely no spare time.

Zhou Luo was also known as a training fanatic by the people at the main martial arts school.

Within a month, Zhou Luo's strength has undergone a qualitative leap. He has mastered and even begun to understand the secret techniques inherited from the Dark Sequence, the several secret techniques passed down to him by Rakshasa, and the eighth-tier reward secret techniques of the Peak Contract.

Zhou Luo can now be described as a walking encyclopedia of secret techniques.

Zhou Luo's strength is now unprecedented; even the two deputy directors of the War God Academy are probably no match for him.

As Zhou Luo improved, Zhou Yun also received an unprecedented boost, and her combat level broke through to the peak of level 79 overnight.

She has now become one of the nominal adjutants of the Tianyu Military Region, and is known as the "Jade-Faced Killer" by soldiers and experienced warriors.

Come back to your senses.

Zhou Luo opened the Time-Space Bracelet's contact list. He had sent Yue Lingling several messages before, but Yue Lingling had not yet replied to him.

Simply.

Zhou Luo sat down cross-legged again and began to comprehend the divine ultimate technique, the Heavenly Emperor Fist. As his strength grew, Zhou Luo felt the power of the Heavenly Emperor Fist more and more.

Neither his secret techniques nor his spiritual signature moves can compare to the Heavenly Emperor Fist.

When he was at the seventh level, he was able to severely injure an eighth-level expert with the Heavenly Emperor Fist, and it was an absolute crushing defeat. This ultimate move was Zhou Luo's greatest trump card.

It's worth mentioning that among his eighth-tier rewards was a cultivation technique for armor tamers. However, Zhou Luo's practice of it had minimal, if not negligible, effect.

He asked Wei Tiandi, but Wei Tiandi said he didn't know either. He then asked He Yongnian and finally learned the answer: this technique can only be practiced in the starry sky.

Because the energy required for this technique is not available on Earth.
