Armor: After finding the Demon-Sealing Box, I won't eat beef.

This move, although it did not rely on the sealing post of the raging waterfall to add exclusive energy, was still effective.

It can unleash destructive power in a real and tangible way.

They remain as formidable as ever and should not be underestimated.

Li Xinnan, who had taken the full force of the blow, was in excruciating pain and couldn't muster any strength.

Even in the next second.

The Fiery Dragon Armor on his body was forced to disintegrate and dissipate.

The excruciating pain caused layers of cold sweat to break out on Li Xinnan's forehead.

He propped himself up on the ground, staring intently at Bei Miao opposite him, his voice filled with disbelief: "Why... why did you have to go to this extent?!"

It's truly incomprehensible that Bei Miao would not only take out his weapon to fight.

Even attacks containing deadly power were relentlessly hurled at him.

In their eyes, are they no different from vicious and evil mutant beasts?

I am your comrade-in-arms who fought alongside you!

Bei Miao then deactivated the combined state of the Black Rhino Armor.

Looking at Li Xinnan lying on the ground, unable to move, a faint sense of guilt did indeed cross his mind.

But he quickly suppressed this guilt.

His tone remained firm and cold: "Why? There aren't that many convoluted reasons."

I just want you to understand what kind of person you really are.

If you can't even bring yourself to use force to restrain a comrade who is fighting you, how can you shoulder the responsibility of being a captain?

Are you worthy of the immense power and responsibility entrusted to you by the armor?

"I advise you to keep this in mind; there are many truths that don't need to be explained to you by others."

After saying these harsh words,

Bei Miao simply turned around and left the abandoned construction site without looking back.

Li Xinnan remained silent after hearing these accusations.

It lay there quietly on the cold cement floor, without moving for a long time.

"Could it be... that I really did something wrong?"

He kept asking himself the same question.

Li Xinnan was born with a soft and forgiving heart, and was used to sacrificing her own feelings and bearing all the suffering alone.

I never want to transfer negative harm onto anyone else.

Each of the five types of armor corresponds to a different personality type, and the personalities of the five people in the team are contradictory.

The fire element should represent intense heat and rage, but the fire within Li Xinnan is always a gentle and inclusive warmth.

Water is inherently meant to encompass all things, like the ocean embracing all rivers.

When it came to Bei Miao, it manifested as an impatient temper that couldn't tolerate the slightest mistake, like a raging storm.

After a long period of silence,

Li Xinnan slowly got up, his body aching.

He brushed the dust off his clothes, his expression forlorn and lonely, and slowly left this heartbreaking construction site.

Not two days later, he came to the ERP command center, right in front of Meizhen.

He personally handed over the Flame Dragon Armor Summoning Device.

Meizhen tried to persuade him for a long time with all her heart, until her lips were almost dry, but she still couldn't change his mind, which he had already made up his mind.

Li Xinnan did not make this decision on a whim.

He spent several days and nights alone at home, pondering this over and over again.

In the end, I just felt that there was no point in staying in the team any longer.

The team was demoralized, no one was genuinely willing to follow orders, and everyone seemed to be completely uncooperative.

Bei Miao finds fault with her at every turn and is always at odds with her.

Dongshan was his original partner who fought alongside him, but now he clearly prefers to follow Beimiao's arrangements in everything.

Kunzhong is gentle and kind-hearted, and always puts Beimiao's opinion first.

As for west Zhao, he was deep-thinking and had his own opinions, and there was always a barrier between the two of them, making it impossible for them to get close.

After much deliberation, what's the point of continuing to hold this nominal captain position?

Moreover, Bei Miao had already escalated the situation to the point of physical violence.

He had absolutely no reason to stay in the armored squad any longer.

Why not simply hand over the summoner, leave the ERP research lab completely, and return to your original, ordinary life?

In any case, the ERP system has a complete bloodline record, and can select new descendants of the Fire Village to take over the summoning of the Flame Dragon Armor at any time.

Without Li Xinnan, the research lab will not experience any irreparable changes.

Meizhen felt depressed and guilty.

Li Xinnan's decision to voluntarily give up his identity as the Flame Dragon Summoner was also partly his own doing.

If, as the armor's liaison officer, I had taken a firmer stance and mediated the conflict between the two,

Xin Nan will never go so far as to voluntarily withdraw.

But things have already progressed to this point, and no amount of regret can change anything.

She was just about to compile the whole matter into a report and submit it to Bing'er, the top-level person in charge, when Bei Miao, who had just arrived, stopped her halfway.

Bei Miao told Mei Zhen that he had found a suitable candidate to summon the new Flame Dragon Armor.

He casually sent that person's detailed information to Meizhen's terminal.

We earnestly request that Meizhen postpone the report and give him three days to allow for a buffer period.

During these three days, Bei Miao met with Zhang Jian alone and handed him the Flame Dragon Summoning Device.

He patiently taught him the incantation for combining the armor, how to summon his exclusive weapon, and the techniques for charging and releasing his ultimate move.

Zhang Jian is extremely talented and is the type who can grasp things very quickly.

In just a few days, he mastered the entire set of operations, and his combat prowess left Bei Miao speechless.

His potential is in no way inferior to that of Li Xinnan in the past, and he may even be more driven.

He's a true combat genius, no doubt about it.

After Mei Zhen retrieved all of Zhang Jian's combat simulation data, she immediately nodded in approval, stating that this person's combat talent was indeed far superior to that of Li Xinnan in the past.

Until then.

Mei Zhencai formally compiled and reported the whole story of Li Xinnan's voluntary departure from the team and Zhang Jian taking over as the new Flame Dragon Knight.

Bing'er received this report.

After watching the whole process, I didn't say anything unnecessary; I simply signed my name on the authorization document.

It has been officially approved that Zhang Jianquan will henceforth be the summoner of the Flame Dragon Armor.

Such a major personnel change at the ERP base could not possibly be kept secret from Bing'er, who held a top position.

The fact that Li Xinnan voluntarily handed over the summoning device was such a significant matter that a single liaison officer, Meizhen, could not possibly suppress the news.

She originally intended to use this incident to thoroughly investigate the cause and effect.

Find out why Li Xinnan insisted on giving up the Flame Dragon Armor when he was perfectly fine.

However, after her father, Lin Zhen, learned of this, he specifically instructed her not to investigate further and that it would be fine to replace her with Zhang Jian.

It doesn't matter who controls the Flame Dragon Armor.

As long as the five Light and Shadow Stones are firmly controlled by the Riyin Group, the summoner can be changed at any time.

At the same time, Lin Zhen specifically instructed: "At this stage, your focus should be on the management of the members of Armor Team Two."

The selection process has now been completed.

We must seize the time to carry out systematic and high-intensity training.

You don't need to expend too much energy interfering in the team's internal conflicts and personnel changes.

It was precisely because Lin Zhen tacitly approved and allowed things to go that Bei Miao was able to smoothly and successfully bring Zhang Jian into the ERP research lab.

Let him become the new generation of Flame Dragon Armor summoner.

Have to admit.

Zhang Jian's combat talent is indeed exceptional.

After just one month of training and practice, his overall combat strength has firmly placed him first among the five summoners.

During this period, Lin Zhen used up a total of five magic stickers he had stored up.

……

The magic stickers are being consumed continuously.

This also brought Lin Zhen a thorny and troublesome matter.

The total number of Magic Spirit Stones is fixed and limited; once one is used, it is permanently gone. He also does not have the means to mass-produce Magic Spirit Stones.

If this continues, and the inventory is completely depleted, subsequent plans will be impossible to proceed.

To solve this problem, Lin Zhen made a special trip to the underground secret laboratory to discuss countermeasures with Dr. Karen.

Even Dr. Karen, who has been studying alien energy for many years, could not come up with any feasible solutions.

However, the dark primordial energy within him was growing uncontrollably and rapidly, with the growth rate increasing day by day.

The only option is to continuously release mutant beasts to participate in the battle, relying on the light energy generated during the battle to neutralize and suppress the dark energy within the body.

While consuming the magic stickers, there is an urgent need for light energy to balance the power.

With this ebb and flow, the stockpile of magic stones will soon be completely depleted.

Lin Zhen also tried to fight in person, specifically seeking out west Zhao to test his skills.

He can indeed generate a small amount of light energy during combat.

The amount of light energy that can be produced is negligible.

It is far less than the massive amount of light energy generated by the direct clash between the alien beast and the Five Elements Armor.

If you want to accumulate enough light energy to neutralize dark energy through one-on-one duels...

He had to fight five armor summoners in shifts around the clock to barely meet the standard.

However, the dark energy within the body surges dramatically every fixed period of time.

Relying on this method to collect light energy simply cannot keep up with the rate of consumption, and the light energy reserves will soon be insufficient.

Therefore, he had to find a completely new and efficient way to obtain light energy.

Even if one is familiar with the complete original plot.

Even though Lin Zhen had all the clues in advance, he couldn't think of a proper solution at this moment.

But as the old saying goes, things will work themselves out in the end, and a turning point often comes unexpectedly.

That afternoon,

Lin Zhen was sunbathing on the private artificial beach on the top floor of the Riyin Group.

He was still racking his brains trying to figure out how to solve the problem of the continuous depletion of magic stones and the insufficient supply of light energy.

"Chairman, the iced Americano you ordered has been delivered to you."

A sweet-looking maid with a well-proportioned figure, dressed in a revealing bikini, slowly walked in carrying a white porcelain tray.

Gently place the iced Americano from the tray next to the beach chair beside Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen raised his hand and lifted the hard-covered book that was covering his face to shield him from the sun.

I reached for my iced Americano, brought it to my lips, and prepared to take a sip.

The cold coffee had just touched his tongue, and before he could even swallow it, he suddenly stopped.

My whole body felt like it had been instantly frozen in place, as if a time stop switch had been pressed.

"Chairman? What's wrong?"

Seeing that he remained motionless with his hand raised and the glass in his hand, the maid couldn't help but feel puzzled and asked softly.

Lin Zhen did not intentionally remain still.

Instead, a strange calling sensation suddenly came from deep within the body.

The light energy originally stored in the body began to surge uncontrollably.

In contrast, the normally restless and uncontrollable dark energy was now as calm as a still lake, quietly dormant within the meridians.

This unprecedented and unusual change left him completely baffled as to the reason behind it.

next second.

Lin Zhen suddenly raised his head and looked up at the vast sky above.

Light, a pure and dazzling golden light.

Others might not be able to see this strange phenomenon, but his eyes could clearly capture it.

A thick beam of golden light pierced through the Earth's outer ozone layer and plummeted straight toward the ground.

The moment he saw the golden beam of light, the dark energy that had been dormant within him for so long suddenly surged and boiled over.

Two completely contradictory thoughts simultaneously popped into my mind.

The first type is an extreme sense of oppression that penetrates to the bone.

The primordial energy contained within that beam of golden light was so vast and profound that even at a distance of thousands of kilometers in the sky, it was immense.

Even now, with his strength far surpassing that of the Shadow Guardian and the Five Elements Armor, he felt an indescribable sense of insignificance.

Like an ant facing an endless galaxy, a sense of powerlessness overwhelms the entire body.

The second type is an overwhelming surge of greedy desire.

That beam of golden light contained boundless power.

As long as I can devour and digest this golden light completely, I will be able to break free from all constraints and become the supreme god who truly rules this world.
