Wen Yuncheng made her move. She saw her chance, activated her Camouflage and the enhanced buff from Illusion Dream (Modified), and left Number One by Lin Jinyu’s side. She then piloted her Floating Magnetic Disk straight into the air.
A Magnetic Pulse shot out and struck the dragon’s body, revealing Wen Yuncheng’s figure. She shouted, “Senior, I’m here to help you!” Then she immediately used her Airstrike Support skill, slapping a Spiritual Imprint on the heavily wounded dragon! In that instant, Wen Yuncheng unleashed every throwable skill she had, then focused all her mental energy on the Flying Sky Shuttle, attacking the great dragon’s mind directly!
The Star Emperor from Dream Haven Sect wore a complex expression. He was, of course, extremely familiar with Wen Yuncheng, but… what was this about her suddenly popping out and finishing off the dragon he had beaten to within an inch of its life? There was no way the little one could have known that dragon only had half a breath left, right?
He watched as Wen Yuncheng’s series of moves snuffed out the dragon’s life and shook his head helplessly. Forget it, forget it.
But when he was about to leave the dragon’s corpse for Wen Yuncheng, the young woman showed no interest in the blasted carcass. Seeing the junior so overjoyed just from killing a single dragon, the Star Emperor from Dream Haven Sect scratched his head and stored the corpse. “I’m going to support the others. You two stay here… and don’t run around. And don’t try to take on the Dragon Race by yourselves.”
Wen Yuncheng’s eyes lit up. What? There were more dragons over there?! “Senior! We won’t run around. I can play support… I mean, I can harass them from the side. A battle like this will give us great insight. Could you… take us to see it?”
A Star Emperor dragon was worth thirty thousand experience points! Harassing, supporting—none of that mattered. Snagging a kill was a win!
A helpless look appeared on the Star Emperor’s face. The juniors these days were so hard to manage.
However, considering the two’s talent and the situation over there, there probably wouldn’t be any great danger. If they wanted to see the world… then let them.
After all, it was a battle against the Dragon Race. These children had never seen dragons before, so it was natural for them to be curious.
Perhaps because he was older, this ninety-something-year-old Star Emperor looked at Wen Yuncheng and Lin Jinyu as if they were his own granddaughters. His eyes were filled with kindness. Otherwise… if it had been any other Star Emperor, they might not have been so accommodating.
The fighting in the combat zone was exceptionally fierce. On the ground, the Dragon Tiger Guard clashed with the Huanling army, while in the air, Star Emperors battled with dragons and Huanling generals. The portal on the Huanling side couldn’t allow Phantom Saints to pass through, so the situation wasn’t a complete rout. Still, in this bloody struggle, the Empire was at a slight disadvantage.
However, that was the situation before Wen Yuncheng arrived.
She released the one hundred and six C-03 Air Wings she had accumulated and took out her Mechanical Throne, which she had painted a low-key silver-white, and sat upon it. The agile Air Wings immediately began bombarding the Huanling army on the ground. Wen Yuncheng calmly continued to summon the aerial combat mech, Gale, and the Ex-S Viper Cannons. Since it was this kind of battlefield…
The experience from killing dragons and the experience from killing Huanling people intertwined, giving Wen Yuncheng double the rewards!
“Jinyu, can you try to use a sword formation to force the Huanling soldiers together as much as possible?”
Lin Jinyu didn’t reply, immediately beginning to condense Star Power swords into a formation. Some of the Dragon Tiger Guard noticed Wen Yuncheng and Lin Jinyu and instantly shifted their positions. Many of these guards had participated in the battle at the fortress and were very familiar with their attack methods. The moment they saw Wen Yuncheng release her mechs and throne, they intentionally created distance from the enemy, trying to herd them together.
A Huanling general’s eyes turned red the moment he saw Wen Yuncheng, but a half-step Star Saint from the Empire was tying him down, preventing him from getting a hand free to kill her. When he saw Lin Jinyu forming her sword formation—sixty-four chilling, blue Star Power longswords rising into the air—the Huanling soldiers instinctively retreated. Coupled with the cooperation of the Dragon Tiger Guard, they were actually trapped together.
“Idiots! Scatter! Scatter immediately! Engage them in close combat! Now!—” The Huanling general was stretched too thin and could only curse in fury. “Everyone, immediately—”
Before he could finish his sentence, Wen Yuncheng’s Airstrike Support came crashing down. Twenty Silver Busters exploded right in the center of the Huanling army, and after the frantic blast of Star Power, only a field of mangled flesh and blood remained.
[Ding! Kill the Invaders. 500 kill milestone achieved!]
[Received 10,000 EXP, 500 points.]
After one wave, Wen Yuncheng controlled her Floating Magnetic Disk to carry her throne back to the rear. She began to set up Star Cannons. She had heard the general’s roar. Clearly, the Huanling soldiers wouldn’t be so easily herded together again, which would make things more difficult…
Slightly annoyed, Wen Yuncheng couldn’t resist marking the talkative general with a “Spiritual Imprint.” The next second, her C-03 Air Wings, Gales, and Viper Cannons went berserk, unleashing their maximum output. A dense storm of Star Power cannons and ammunition rained down on the general.
“You dare?!”
Wen Yuncheng continued to place Star Cannons below, finding his roar rather amusing. What wouldn’t she dare? Number One, Number Two, and Number Three were all positioned in the rear.
“Let Gale follow me,” Lin Jinyu said to Wen Yuncheng as she condensed her sword intent.
“Hm? Okay!” Wen Yuncheng immediately understood what Lin Jinyu meant. “You’re the best, I love you to death!” Wen Yuncheng blew Lin Jinyu a kiss, and in the next second, she ordered Gale to follow Lin Jinyu and slay enemies.
Wen Yuncheng never thought she would see the day she’d be following behind the Little Ice Mountain, collecting kills.
With the bonuses from the “Heart of a Victor” and “Kill the Invaders” missions, Wen Yuncheng earned 100 EXP and 2 points for every Huanling head she reaped. The feeling was exceptionally wonderful.
After deploying one hundred and forty Star Cannons, Wen Yuncheng created a defensive wall in front of them with a Mechanical Barrier. Only then did she remove the imprint from the Huanling general and mark a great dragon that was fighting a Star Emperor in the sky.
The dragon and the Star Emperor had been evenly matched, but suddenly, the dragon felt an intense sense of threat! It instinctively circulated its Star Power to defend itself, but the Star Emperor before it suddenly burned his essence blood and erupted with power. His halberd scraped across its scales, sending sparks flying! Star Power exploded from the tip of the halberd, blasting its flesh and blood everywhere.
It was at that exact moment that a sky full of Star Power cannonballs suddenly engulfed it.
Mo Dingtian retracted his halberd and quickly retreated, his heart pounding as he witnessed the sheer Star Power energy unleashed by Wen Yuncheng’s machines.
“…Still not dead?!” Wen Yuncheng hadn’t received any experience. She stared at her skill bar, speechless for a moment. A second wave of attacks, enhanced by the dual buffs of the Mechanical Throne and the Spiritual Imprint, immediately smashed into the dragon.
A mournful dragon’s cry echoed as the great beast fell from the sky. Wen Yuncheng hardened her heart and ordered a C-03 Air Wing to fly straight toward the miserable dragon, exploding the moment it got close!
[Mission: Dragon Slaying]
[Ding! Killed a Star Emperor-level dragon, received 30,000 EXP!]
That’s more like it~ Eighty points for thirty thousand experience. Not a bad trade.
The Spiritual Imprint vanished. Wen Yuncheng controlled her Floating Magnetic Disk, constantly moving around the rear of the battlefield; she didn’t dare stay in one place. As she moved, she chugged medium MP potions to replenish the energy for her Star Cannons and Air Wings.
Host: Wen Yuncheng
Race: Human
Age: 22
Class: Mechanical Overlord
Level: 67
Experience: 14685/98000
Points: 17898
She leveled up! Wen Yuncheng calculated the experience. Ninety-eight thousand? So, three Star Emperor-level dragons… No problem! She could do it!
The sound of “one hundred, one hundred” experience points pinged constantly in her ears. She glanced at Lin Jinyu, who was sweeping through the army with a single sword, then at Gale, which was following behind her and collecting kills. She suddenly felt that Lin Jinyu had discovered the correct way to use the Gale mech.
“Damn it!—” The other dragons’ eyes turned crimson, and they attacked the Star Emperors before them with even greater frenzy. One dragon even ignored a Star Emperor’s attack to charge straight for Wen Yuncheng.
Naturally, Wen Yuncheng’s gaze met this frenzied dragon’s. She casually slapped a Spiritual Imprint on it and rapidly retreated on her Floating Magnetic Disk. With the imprint’s buff, the Star Cannons and Air Wings once again unleashed a dense barrage of firepower!
“Seriously, I kill one of your dragons and you get so angry you want to die with me. Your Dragon Race has killed so many of our Empire’s soldiers without a shred of guilt,” Wen Yuncheng muttered as the great dragon was engulfed in the storm of Star Power. Mo Dingtian and the Star Emperor who had been holding back this dragon teamed up to attack it. Wen Yuncheng was no longer calm: The kill! No! The dragon’s head! The dragon’s head must be mine!—
The great dragon’s tailbone was already exposed, and most of its scales had been blasted and peeled off, yet it was still supported by a belly full of rage as it lunged toward Wen Yuncheng.
Magnetic Pulse. Stun Grenade.
The electrocution and shock caused the dragon to falter for a split second. In that instant, the Flying Sky Shuttle and the Mountain River Seal flew rapidly toward the dragon’s head, smashing into it along with the next wave of cannon fire.
Wen Yuncheng remained leaning on her throne, showing no intention of moving or dodging. The fury in the great dragon’s eyes was gradually replaced by the aura of death. Hatred and unwillingness made it glare at Wen Yuncheng with its basketball-sized eyes. It crashed to the ground right in front of her.
[Mission: Dragon Slaying]
[Ding! Killed a Star Emperor-level dragon, received 30,000 EXP!]
Admittedly, the fact that two Star Emperors had been constantly attacking the dragon was a major factor. But the visual impact was still extremely satisfying for Wen Yuncheng. Leaning back on her throne, her understanding of the Mechanical Overlord class deepened even further.
Just sit in the rear, just sit on the throne. Any approaching enemies would be blasted to death by the machines before they could even reach you. This feeling…
It was truly exhilarating.
Mo Dingtian sensed something. He looked toward Wen Yuncheng and was surprised to discover she was already a Star King 3rd Layer. Of course, that wasn’t the main thing. But the wave of absolute confidence that had erupted from Wen Yuncheng the moment the dragon died seemed to have moved him as well.
The Heart of a Victor, the path of invincibility. Although these were just the names of missions that rewarded experience, the accumulation of victories had also subtly and imperceptibly influenced Wen Yuncheng.
