I gain permanent defense when attacked; even gods and demons can't hurt me.

Chapter 372 Starry Night Domain

The large net unfolded instantly in mid-air, covering an area of ​​several kilometers in radius, and was accompanied by a strong gravitational magnetic field.

Long Ying felt his body sink, and the surrounding air seemed to turn into sticky glue.

His prized speed of movement was severely limited at this moment!

"not good!"

Alarm bells rang loudly in Long Ying's mind.

Taking advantage of the moment when the dragon shadow was slowed down, John's mech had already rushed close.

The two high-frequency plasma blades on his arms, each five meters long, slashed down fiercely at the dragon shadow with a piercing shriek that tore through the air!

"Plasma Cross Slash!"

This attack, in terms of both speed and power, reached the peak level of a level 58 expert.

With no way to avoid the dragon's shadow, he could only grit his teeth, hold the black longbow horizontally above his head, and let his magical power surge wildly within him.

"Star Protection - Shadow Barrier!"

A black shield formed from the power of stars blocked his way.

"boom--!"

The high-frequency light blade struck the shadow barrier hard, bursting out with blinding light.

Long Ying felt an overwhelming force surge through his arms, and the shield he had created shattered in less than two seconds!

"puff!"

The remaining shockwave from the cutting motion grazed Long Ying's shoulder, drawing out a spray of blood.

The force of the impact sent him flying backward, tumbling for more than ten meters before he regained his balance.

In just one exchange, the Chinese team's top shooter was completely suppressed!

Upon seeing this, the officers of the Free Federation in the stands erupted in deafening cheers and whistles.

"Well done, John! Chop this Chinese kid into pieces!"

"Let them know that here, technology is the only god!"

Hearing the deafening jeers around him, Long Ying wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and slowly stood up from the ground.

He glanced at the wound on his shoulder, took a deep breath, and his eyes became colder and more serious than ever before.

The national team of the Free Federation is indeed much stronger than that of the Sakura Kingdom.

Ordinary attacks and mid-level skills have absolutely no effect on this level 58 heavy mech that combines magic and technology.

"The captain is right, we can't keep anything to ourselves."

Long Ying gripped the longbow again, and a terrifying surge of magical power, far exceeding the previous ones, began to brew wildly within his body.

"Hey, you tin can."

Long Ying looked up at the mecha that was pressing down on him like a small mountain, his voice as cold as ice.

"Your shield is indeed very thick, and your firepower is also very strong. But for my next move, you'd better pray that your ironclad armor can withstand it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of dazzling starlight suddenly erupted from Long Ying's body!

The light in the entire arena seemed to be completely drained away by an invisible force in that instant.

The once brightly lit arena was instantly plunged into darkness, as if in an eternal night.

Then, in this endless darkness, tiny, glittering stars began to light up one after another.

Starlight connects into lines, lines intertwine into a net, and finally forms a vast and deep miniature starry sky, completely enveloping the entire arena!

"Starry Night Domain!"

With a low shout, Long Ying revealed his most powerful trump card to everyone without reservation.

This is an extremely rare domain skill!

"What the hell is this thing?!"

John, who was laughing wildly, suddenly noticed a blinding patch of static on the mech's radar screen.

All the locking systems, thermal detectors, and magical sensors malfunctioned under this eerie starry sky!

Even the magical energy circulation circuits inside the mech were suppressed by a powerful law, becoming extremely sluggish.

The laughter of the high-ranking officers in the audience abruptly ceased, and they stared in shock at the arena shrouded in darkness.

field!

This is the ultimate power that countless high-level professionals dream of, and this young man from China has mastered it at level 58?!

In this realm of starlight, the dragon's shadow completely merged into the darkness, becoming omnipresent.

"Under my starry sky, your high-tech radars are more useless than a blind man's eyes."

The dragon's voice came from all directions, like the whisper of a god.

"Damn it! Stop playing tricks and get out here!"

John panicked completely. He frantically manipulated the mech, slashing wildly in the darkness with two high-frequency plasma blades.

At the same time, the miniature railguns on the mech's shoulders began to indiscriminately bombard all directions.

"Boom!"

The flashes of fire from the explosions continued to illuminate the darkness, but no trace of the dragon could be found.

"It's over, you arrogant tin can."

Just as John was about to run out of ammunition.

Suddenly, the stars in the sky began to twinkle wildly, and all the starlight converged on the black longbow in the dragon's hand like rivers flowing into the sea!

A terrifying aura of destruction, powerful enough to change the very fabric of the world, rapidly compressed and took shape on the bowstring!

The surrounding space groaned under the oppressive force.

"Annihilation Starfall Armor-Piercing Arrow!"

The moment Long Ying released the bowstring, it seemed as if all the light in the entire Starry Night Domain had been completely drained by this arrow!

A thick, black beam of light, as thick as a bucket, carrying the terrifying power to annihilate all laws, shot out with a speed beyond comprehension!

"Warning! Deadly danger! Warning! The energy barrier cannot withstand it!"

Inside the mech's cockpit, the piercing red alarm blared frantically, and John's eyes were filled with desperate fear.

"No"

"boom!!!"

This ultimate arrow, imbued with the full power of the Starry Night Realm, struck the mech squarely in the chest without any doubt.

That layer of dark blue magical energy barrier could easily block even mid-level armor-piercing arrows.

The moment they came into contact with the black beam of light, they were like ice and snow under the blazing sun, instantly melting away without a trace!

Followed by.

The arrow, carrying an unstoppable and violent force, pierced through the mech's thick outer shell and plunged deep into the core power engine!

"Boom!"

With a terrifying, earth-shattering explosion, the three-meter-tall, level 58 heavy magic-powered mech exploded into a massive fireball in the center of the arena!

The violent shockwave slammed into the laser field at the edge of the arena, causing the entire arena to shake violently.

Countless charred metal parts were scattered on the ground like raindrops.

At the last moment before the explosion, the mech's emergency escape ejection system barely activated.

John, charred black and severely injured, was ejected from the cabin and crashed heavily onto the edge of the ring like a rag doll, immediately losing consciousness.

As John was defeated, the starry night domain that had enveloped the arena slowly dissipated, revealing Long Ying's slightly tired but still upright figure.

He held a longbow and looked down at the Free Federal National Guard opposite him.

The first round is a one-on-one match.

Dragon Shadow of the Chinese National Government Team versus John, the heavy mech pilot of the Free Federation.

Dragon Shadow Domain activated in full, annihilating the mech with a single arrow!

China takes the lead, 1-0!

The entire Grand Arena was completely silent.

Those officers who had previously clamored to teach the Chinese a lesson now felt as if they had been slapped hard across the face by an invisible hand, their faces burning with pain.

They never dreamed that in the Free Federation's proud home turf, their first match would be such a shocking and crushing victory for their opponents.

Lin Yuan sat in the preparation area below the stage, watching Long Ying walk off the stage, a satisfied smile on his face.

"Well done, Long Ying. That arrow showcased the spirit of our Chinese National Team."

Long Ying wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long breath.

"Captain, the people from the Free Federation are really something. Their mechs have amazing defense. If they don't use their trump cards, I really won't be able to take them down."

"It's alright."

Lin Yuan stood up and calmly looked at the Free Federation team opposite him, whose faces were ashen.

"Our trump card is meant to break the enemy's backbone."

Lin Yuan's voice wasn't loud, but it was clearly audible in the silent arena.

"The first round is over. Geniuses of the Free Federation, don't waste time, send in the next one to get beaten up."

With the end of the first round, the entire Super Battle Arena fell into a brief silence.

Then, a burst of suppressed angry curses erupted from the Free Federation's war zone.

A level 58 heavy mech pilot was actually shot to pieces head-on by a traditional archer.

This humiliation was worse than death for the Free Federation, which revered firepower and technology.

Colonel Thomas's rugged face was so gloomy it looked like it was about to drip water.

His mechanical prosthetic eye, flashing red light, spun wildly, staring intently at the direction of the Chinese team.

"A bunch of good-for-nothings! That idiot John has utterly disgraced the Free Federation!"

Thomas roared through gritted teeth, and the robotic arm slammed into the alloy railing beside him, creating a deep dent.

The captain of the Free Federation National Guard, a young man with long blond hair, also had a livid face.

He took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

"We were careless in the first game; we didn't expect our opponent to have mastered the domain skill at level 58."

The blond youth turned his head and looked at a tall, slender man in the group, who was completely wrapped in a dark green, tight-fitting combat suit.

"Jack, you're up for the second match."

"Use your bio-mechanical combat skills to crush their prized bones, inch by inch!"

"I'll show them the consequences of angering the Free Federation!"

The man called Jack licked his lips, a cruel and bloodthirsty glint in his eyes.

Name: Jack

[Occupation: Bio-armored Fighter]

[Level: 58]

Jack not only underwent extensive semi-mechanical modifications, but also received a biochemical berserk drug, the latest development from the Free Federation, injected into his body.

Once he enters combat mode, his physical strength and regenerative abilities will reach an astonishingly abnormal level.

Jack twisted his neck, producing a sickening cracking sound.

He kicked off with both legs, like a wild beast unleashed from its cage, and slammed heavily into the center of the ring.

"boom!"

He stomped two shallow pits into the hard alloy floor, and a strong biochemical gas, accompanied by violent battle aura, instantly swept across the entire arena.

"You were just lucky just now."

Jack clenched his fists together, his knuckles cracking, and gave Lin Yuan and the others a ferocious grin.

"Second round, who's going to be my punching bag? Don't worry, I'll try to make sure you die slowly, so you can enjoy the pain!"

Seeing Jack's arrogant demeanor on the stage, the members of the Chinese team gripped their weapons tightly.

"Captain, let me go this round! This cyborg looks disgusting, I'll chop him in half with one axe!"

Lei Kuang stepped forward, his Thunder Battle Axe crackling with electricity, his eyes filled with fervent fighting spirit.

Chu Tianxing was also eager to try: "Let me do it! The Asura Battle Blade is specifically designed to counter monsters with strong self-healing abilities!"

However, Lin Yuan shook his head slightly when the two volunteered.

Instead of sending his two main damage dealers onto the field, he turned his attention to the quiet girl standing on the edge of the team.

"Qingyue, you're up for this round."

Lin Yuan's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.

Upon hearing this, the entire National Team fell silent instantly.

Everyone looked at Lin Yuan in astonishment, then at Ji Qingyue, whose face was filled with shock.

Ji Qingyue, the pride of the Ji family in the capital.

However, her rank was the lowest in the entire National Team, only level 52!

Let a level 52 substitute face a level 58 bio-engineered monster?

This spans a gap of six levels!

After level 50, the attribute differences between each level are huge.

The six-level gap is an insurmountable chasm without any absolute trump cards or a freakish defense sharing ability like Lin Yuan's!

"Team leader—myself?"

Ji Qingyue pointed to herself, her beautiful face filled with disbelief.

Although she was exceptionally talented, she was also self-aware.

Facing a level 58 bio-fighter, she probably wouldn't even last three moves against him.

"Captain, this is too dangerous! Qingyue is only level 52!" Chen Yu couldn't help but speak up to dissuade her.

Lei Kuang was also anxiously scratching his head: "Yes, Captain, this is match point. If we lose, the other side will tie the score."

.

"Sending Qingyue to fight that muscle monster is like throwing a lamb to the slaughter!"

Despite everyone's attempts to dissuade him, Lin Yuan's expression remained unchanged.

He stared into Ji Qingyue's eyes, his tone very serious.

"I know the chances of winning are slim; in fact, you could say your probability of winning is less than 10%."

Lin Yuan's voice carried an undeniable calmness.

"But Qingyue, you must remember that you are now a member of the Chinese National Team, and you represent the future of China's highest combat power."

"When you get to the real international arena, in the ever-changing team battles or skirmishes, you may be forced to face opponents who are much stronger than you at any time."

Lin Yuan pointed to Jack, who was shouting on the stage, and continued.

"Back then, no one could take your place, and I couldn't always stand in front of you."

"You must learn to survive and fight under absolute hierarchical suppression, and find even the slightest opening under suffocating pressure."

"Today's battle is not about winning or losing. What's important is to let you personally experience the pressure of a world-class genius and break through the fear of hierarchy in your heart."
