Many people say that the use of metal symbolizes that human civilization has truly broken away from the primitive stage and achieved a qualitative leap. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Therefore, when it comes to metal creations, there is always an instinctive worship hidden in the human heart.

Even if it is bloated, it is just a thick human shape, but it has a thick waist and short legs and no neck. Even if it was rudimentary, many of the joints were obscured by swaying armor of apparent misfit, like a ragged beggar. Even if it is full of shoddy makeovers of temporary workmanship, the armor metal plates used everywhere on the body, and even the color is not uniform, and many of the plates have pitted hammer forging marks on the surface......

However, the steel giant, which is more than seven feet high, is like a towering mountain in the main arena, with thrilling oppressive power. At the moment of its appearance, people seemed to have returned to the primitive era, and when they saw the primitive totem in front of the tribe's bonfire in the middle of the night, they subconsciously had the urge to bow and worship.

This is a deadly murder weapon that can bring a great sense of oppression just by its mere existence. The 33 defense towers released by Lu Fangchen are like sand castles built by children on the beach, which are not worth mentioning.

"it...... What the hell is this!? ”

At this moment, even Lu Fangchen himself was dumbfounded, looking up at the huge figure of the steel giant, and the blood-red eyes that suddenly lit up, and an indescribable emotion rose inexplicably in his heart.

All he knew was that his heart was pounding out of control, his vision narrowed, and there was no room for anything else in the whole world, except for the iron giant that seemed to stand up to the sky, so that he could no longer focus on anything else.

Lu Fangchen's astonishment caused his supposed flawless turret control to freeze for a moment.

And his opponent will never miss such an opportunity.

In and out of the arena, in the eyes of hundreds of thousands of spectators, the giants of steel and iron took their own steps.

The first step is slightly sluggish, like the first stretch of a stupid bear that has been hibernating for a long time after waking up. The giant's ankles, knees, hips, and other parts that can be rotated all emitted a harsh and sharp sound of metal friction, which makes people frown and their gums sore.

Bang!

A moment later, the footsteps landed, and after a short, long metal struggle, the giant took only a small step forward less than a fifth of his body. Although the field was shaken and dusty, people couldn't help but worry about how such a bulky giant would face 33 defence towers with dexterous maneuvers and good firepower.

And Lu Fangchen was also awakened by the shock transmitted to his body at the moment when the giant landed on his feet, and hurriedly regained control of the defensive turret, and issued an order to open all fire.

The 33 defense towers, with the Crystal Element Prism Tower as the core, gathered energy together, overclocked the crystal clear spar, and emitted a dazzling pillar of light, stabbing straight into the giant's chest.

In the case of human beings, the first priority is naturally the head, followed by the chest and abdominal organs. However, Lu Fangchen could clearly see that after Shen Qingming summoned the iron giant, its body was hidden in the giant's chest, which had a relatively balanced center of gravity, and the armor on his chest was also the heaviest.

However, no matter how heavy the armor is, it is categorically impossible to resist the crystal ray excited by overclocking, this kind of bulky puppet that thinks that a person with high armor can do whatever he wants, in Lu Fangchen's eyes, is simply a joke!

His defense tower tactics are the last thing he is afraid of is this kind of opponent who dares to fight hard with him to attack and defend!

The next moment, the light pierced through the giant's chest, from the front chest to the back, without the slightest obstacle.

But Lu Fangchen's pupils couldn't help but shrink, and his frightened mood instantly flooded.

With the help of the sensory enhancement of the central control tower, he could clearly see that the crystal light that was enough to pierce the golden cracking stone only penetrated a layer of afterimage, and the giant's body had already disappeared from the spot the moment the light was excited.

Where did it go?

Just when Lu Fangchen remembered this question, the answer was revealed.

The strong impact from the left-hand side caused the entire turret network to shake, and the turrets were divided into three levels, the upper, middle and lower turrets, and the twenty defense towers floating in the air were like kites in the face of strong winds, showing signs of losing control.

At the very front of the entire turret network, in front of Lu Fangchen's left, a rigid defense tower with defense as its core function has been smashed head-on by the huge force and scattered into rubble.

The iron giant, in an instant, crossed the distance of nearly 100 zhang between the two sides, and with a terrifying weight of more than two hundred tons, the charging speed close to the speed of sound hit the Gangzheng Tower head-on.

The steel giant, which is more than seven feet high, destroys the three-zhang high thick rock defense tower, which is really like an adult strong man trampling on a castle on the beach. Not only did it destroy the Gangzheng Tower, but it also deeply impacted the remaining 32 towers that were closely connected to each other.

This is one of the weaknesses of Lu Fangchen's turret sea tactics, in order to be able to control the towers beyond the limit, he simplified the spells to control, and connected the 33 towers to each other, so as to reduce the pressure of the divine consciousness. But this is like the tactics of crossing the river and connecting the boats in battle, and there is a risk of losing both.

Lu Fangchen originally thought that no one could take advantage of such a weakness in the battle of the same realm. But the impact of the Iron Giant hit exactly that! And the Gangzheng defense tower is already the strongest frontal defense among the 33 defense towers, and it is regarded by him as the focus of the defense core. The Gangzheng Tower is still like this, and the rest of the defense towers will only be more vulnerable, once snowballed by the Iron Giant, the so-called turret sea is nothing more than a chicken, a tile dog!

Lu Fangchen's mind was racing, and he hurriedly used his divine consciousness with all his might, and at the same time covered all the remaining defense towers, no longer relying on the assistance of this iron cable ship-like network, and operated overload purely on his own.

Self-destruct!

At this time, Lu Fangchen did not hesitate to choose the tactic of gecko tail breaking, approaching the seven defense towers of the iron giant, directly detonating the self-detonating core in the tower, releasing an earth-shattering explosion. The dust and mist that dispersed in an instant obscured the sky and the sun, making the main arena impossible to reach.

And as the seven defense towers turned into dust, several elders of the Lu family on the rostrum couldn't help but twitch.

Fang Chen, this kid, really made a quick decision and was very decisive. Seven towers blew themselves up at the same time...... He should have known that each of these towers was worth thousands of spirit stones—or not considering the labor costs of elder-level monks—these 33 towers were never consumables. But he blew himself up so without hesitation!

But at this moment, the elders also had to admit that there was no other way on the field to contain the terrifying steel giant. Frontal impact, instantly breaking through the Gangzheng Tower, this attack power is even a monk in the Cloud Turning Realm, and he will be ashamed!

It's just that Lu Fangchen exploded seven defense towers in a row, can he really restrain the opponent?

No one dares to fight this package ticket, and the power of this super giant steel puppet that Shen Qingming took out is beyond common sense. Now, including Li Jinglun in the commentary seat, there are already many great cultivators who have begun to desperately try to analyze its structure with the eyes of immortal cultivators, and so far, no one has been able to accurately estimate the upper limit of its performance!

People only know that in a cloud of smoke and dust, after seven consecutive explosions, the sound of steel and rock collision is still stirring in the main stadium one after another, one after another, shaking the audience to feel their ear drums numb and their chests tremble.

The Iron Giant is still in action, seven consecutive explosions can't stop it, the smoke and dust in the sky can't stop it, and Lu Fangchen, who is in the center, and Lu Fangchen, who is already proficient in tower defense tactics, can't stop it either!

The Iron Giant's blood-colored eyes were the only clear light in the smoke and dust, and as the battle continued, the light became more and more dazzling. Through these bloody eyes, people can see that the speed of the iron giant's movements is as fast as lightning, and the hazy figure in the smoke and dust is constantly shuttling and flickering, as if there is a clone, and it may appear in every corner of the battlefield anytime and anywhere.

The clumsiness of the first step seemed to be a deliberate trap to lure the enemy, and the giant, more than seven feet tall, shuttled through the battlefield with incomprehensible dexterity, destroying the opponent's defense towers one after another.

The battle lasted less than ten minutes.

Many people can swear that this is definitely the longest ten minutes of this year's Qingyun Competition, and people can't help but hold their breath during the viewing process...... If it goes on for a little longer, you might really suffocate it.

Before the smoke and dust cleared, Lu Fangchen's helpless and tired voice came from the arena.

"I threw in the towel."

"Okay, the result of the game is confirmed, this game, Shen Qingming wins!"

The next moment, as the referee confirmed the result of the game, with a wave of his hands, the dust and smoke that filled the field were instantly cleared, so that people could finally see the scene on the field.

It's a mess.

Of the thirty-three towers, only the last three remained, in a triangular shape, surrounded by Lu Fangchen's dust in the center, and the remaining thirty towers were all reduced to rubble.

And the iron giant, too, was scarred and devastated. Most of the armor on its surface was destroyed by the fire of the defense tower, and less than a third of the remaining parts were also pitted and shattered, and the vital part of the chest was directly penetrated to the core, and Shen Qingming in the cockpit could even be seen from the outside.

In addition, psionic sparks flickered on the giant's ankles, knees, and other joints, indicating that the components had reached their limits and were on the verge of collapse. Obviously, that dexterity did not come without a price.

But in any case, in this battle, it was this iron giant who stood at the end, and when Lu Fangchen admitted defeat, it had already pounced in front of Lu Fangchen, and its right hand, which had broken two fingers, was clenched into a fist, and it fell from top to bottom like a war hammer. If Lu Fangchen admits defeat, it will be a second late......

Such a battle, such a result, made tens of thousands of spectators at the scene silent for a while, and they were still intoxicated by the passionate collision of steel and rock for a long time.

Including the two players on the field, they were also motionless, and the picture seemed to be still.

Until the indifferent referee frowned and reminded: "Okay, the game is over, please leave the field quickly." ”

At this moment, the steel giant trembled slightly, breaking the quiet picture. A half-crippled steel plate on the giant's chest was forcefully lifted, and Shen Qingming struggled out of the cockpit a little tiredly, and her movements seemed extremely difficult.

Driving this steel giant, the load is not ordinarily heavy.

With such a large mecha, Wang Jiu only used more than 10,000 parts to assemble it, and it is conceivable that the structure inside is not too complicated. Moreover, when assembling, Wang Jiu used a large number of ready-made parts that could be purchased in Duobao Pavilion, and only the core deck plate and power unit and other components were hammered and forged by Shen Qingming himself.

Therefore, this steel giant that suffocated countless audiences is actually only a half-finished product, and there are fatal flaws in handling, stability and service life......

Fortunately, in this battle, Wang Jiu was driving Shen Qingming throughout the whole battle, so that the girl had been in a furious state to drive the Iron Giant, otherwise she wouldn't even be able to walk slowly in the middle and late stages of the battle, not to mention the lightning shuttle in the middle and late stages of the battle.

But in fact, after the fight, whether it was Shen Qingming or the steel giant, they all reached their own limits. Once the giant's fist hammer landed, it could certainly break through Lu Fangchen's last layer of turret defense, but the force of the shock was enough to cause the giant to disintegrate. As for Shen Qingming, he was shocked in the cockpit many times, his bones were soft, and his physical strength seemed to be exhausted.

Such a giant can really be called a defective product of grinding spears in battle, but Wang Jiu calculated that even if it is a defective product, the performance is enough to ensure the smooth promotion of the semi-finals.

And it turns out that Wang Jiu's calculations are extremely accurate. Just when the driver and the giant reached the limit at the same time, Lu Fangchen surrendered and conceded defeat first, announcing the end of the game.

Wang Jiu walked along the spiritual channel and said to Shen Qingming: "Congratulations, you have successfully advanced to the finals of the Qingyun Competition. ”

“…… I don't know why, I can't be happy at all, I always feel that this great competition in the immortal cultivation world has been tainted by us. ”

Wang Jiu said: "It's not unusual for someone like you who can't understand the romance of steel and iron, with an IQ index of 3.3, to have such stupid worries, but you don't have to worry about it. ”

“…… Why? ”

"With your understanding, it's hard to understand the essence, so you don't need to know the specific reasons, just remember the conclusion."

"Hey!" Shen Qingming really wanted to rush to the audience immediately to fight Wang Jiu to the death, but at this time, he was in the stuffy cockpit, his whole body was sore, and he really didn't have the strength to get angry with a stupid sword on the whiteboard.

Seeing that the cockpit door had been opened, Shen Qingming snorted, straightened up and walked to the edge of the cockpit and jumped down, and then when he landed, his legs were weak and he fell into a rolling gourd.

"Wang Jiu!?"

"The battle is over, so I'll give you back control of your body as agreed."

"Don't you know when you should switch control with your 9-point intelligence!?"

"Spending one night designing and assembling this Iron Giant is the embodiment of my intelligence, and there is no point in you questioning my intelligence."

"You're so annoyed!" Shen Qingming gritted her teeth, and then struggled to support herself, looking grizzled and dirty, without the demeanor of a victor at all.

Opposite her, Lu Fangchen had just put away the three remaining defense towers, with a hint of loneliness on his face, but more excitement. Compared with the two, it seems that Lu Fangchen has won.

"What's that!?"

After Shen Qingming stood up, Lu Fangchen took the initiative to step forward, and his tone could not hide his excitement and curiosity.

Shen Qingming glanced at him, although she really didn't want to speak, but she didn't want people to comment on her lack of victorious demeanor, so she had to say patiently: "I don't have a name, but it's basically just a puppet technique to make a lot of iron move." ”

Lu Fangchen shook his head and said, "How can you say it so lightly? This is definitely the most genius and stunning design I've ever seen! Gigantic, humanoid, steel structure, angular appearance, just the combination of these few elements is already priceless! Regardless of performance, this is also an aesthetic breakthrough in the world of cultivating immortals! Do you understand, that aesthetics enshrined in cold steel! ”

"......" Shen Qingming looked at the gradually blooming look in Lu Fangchen's eyes, feeling as if he had encountered a living mental illness, and couldn't help but take a few steps back, distancing himself from the other party, so as not to pollute his limited IQ.

The more Lu Fangchen spoke, the more excited he became: "What's more, the performance of this thing is so strong, it also amazes people!" If you are not mistaken, its extreme output is at least equivalent to that of a monk in the late stage of the Cloud Turning Realm! And thanks to his huge body, his pure destructive ability is still above that of an ordinary late-stage cultivator in the Cloud Turning Realm! Not to mention the sturdy defenses. It is also incredible that a puppet with such amazing performance only needs one Wind Rising Realm Monk to drive. Of course, you're not an ordinary Wind Rising Realm monk, but being a mid-Cloud Surge Realm monk is at least enough to make this giant function normally, right? ”

"Well, probably."

"By the way, I want to ask a question, what is the principle of its power system? It is impossible for such a heavy steel giant to be driven by spirit stones, that would be too wasteful. Although I can tell from the holes in the armor that it uses a lot of spirit stones in the auxiliary power unit, the core part is only directly connected to the cockpit, which makes it difficult to see the name, may I ask ...... in this regard"

Shen Qingming was nagged and waved his hand tiredly: "Don't ask me this kind of question, I'm just a stupid driver with an intelligence index of 3.3, who doesn't know the principle or the romance of a man." ”

"Ah, well said, man's romance! Indeed, this is exactly the romance of men! I'll definitely visit the master who designed this mech in person! I dare to say that it must be a man among men, a model of men in the world, who can so clearly dig out the desires of every man's heart and turn them into real things! ”

Shen Qingming said weakly: "What you say sounds like you are praising the famous prostitutes of the Qinglou. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm a little too excited." Lu Fangchen touched his head and laughed self-deprecatingly, "But seriously, I already want to make a promise to that genius designer." With such a design, it doesn't matter what I offer. ”

“…… I'll convey this perverted romance on your behalf. ”

"By the way, there's one last question." Lu Fangchen suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly took out a small black hammer and a white jade-like tower-shaped chess piece from his pocket.

Shen Qingming was puzzled: "What is this?" ”

"The Painstaking Hammer is a multi-functional enhanced version, and the chess pieces are multi-functional portable defense towers. Combined, the two can be turned into a temporary building base. As long as you draw a drawing, even a simple functional requirement, and then provide some basic materials, it will be able to create the building you want...... It was intended to be used as a maintenance tower in today's battles. But it fell into your rhythm from the start, and it was pushed too hard to use it at all. After today, I'm out of the game, and I don't need it, so I want to ......."

Shen Qingming smiled: "Give it to me?" Thanks. ”

“…… No, I want to trade you for the Iron Giant. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Fangchen's breathing became slightly heavier, his heartbeat began to speed up, and his eyes wandered a little, as if he was an innocent virgin waiting for a reply under the tree to confess.

Shen Qingming paused for a moment, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

That kind of scrap copper and rotten iron, there are really people who are like babies, and sure enough, Sister Wanqing is right, men are stupid...... Wait, isn't there something wrong with my idea?

However, Shen Qingming's smile had a different meaning in Lu Fangchen's eyes, and the young man was anxious in his heart, and hurriedly added: "Of course, I also know that this mobile construction base alone is far from enough to exchange for a heavy treasure, so ...... So there's this! ”

Lu Fangchen said as he took out another golden sigil from his pocket: "This is all the information of several new technologies developed by our Lu family some time ago, including portable buildings, mechanism control techniques, etc., I am willing to use these plus mobile bases in exchange for your iron giant......"

Before he finished speaking, a figure with a blue face suddenly appeared on the field.

Lu Xin, the second leader of the Lu family's compound, stared at Lu Fangchen as if he was about to explode out of thin air, trembling all over.

Lu Fangchen's eyes lit up: "Second uncle, are you here?!" Great, look, the romance of steel and iron, how amazing, how wonderful, ah, I want to ......"

"You're going crazy!" Lu Xin grabbed Lu Fangchen's collar and dragged him out of the arena like pork. Lu Fangchen wanted to struggle to defend himself, but he was determined by a spell to freeze pork, and he couldn't move.

When the uncle and nephew left, Shen Qingming only felt physically and mentally exhausted.
