Chapter 1268: Scientist Of The E-Games

  However, whatever happened next was extraordinary. Nine Deities Arrow did not lose half his health as expected from a powerful fist by Evil Rampage. Instead, he did not even lose a single drop of HP.

  “???”

  Question marks were all over everyone’s head when they saw no decrease in Nine Deities Arrow’s health.

  Even though armours provided a great defense, there was still a numerical limit. Once the damage output exceeds this limit, one would lose his HP.

  One must know that Evil Rampage was a complete power-type Pugilist with extremely formidable equipment too.

  Earlier, everyone witnessed how he managed to break over ten arrows easily which was proof of just how strong he was. Even a Guardian without a shield would lose half his HP if he suffered a blow like that from Evil Rampage, let alone an Archer like Nine Deities Arrow.

  Not only was Nine Deities Arrow fine, but he also did not even suffer a decrease in HP which was weird.

  Evil Rampage was also slightly taken aback when he saw this as he hurried towards the side of Nine Deities Arrow.

  Just when Nine Deities Arrow got off the ground, Evil Rampage held him by the head and smashed him against the ground.

  “Boom!”

  Nine Deities Arrow didn’t even have time to react before he was pressed firmly towards the ground by Evil Rampage.

  “Zhi…”

  After an ear-piercing sound, a deep pit was plowed on the stage but Nine Deities Arrow’s HP remained at the maximum.

  A scene like that got the Quan Zhen Sect off their seats.

  Ming Du cried out, “F*ck! How can he be fine even after getting beaten up in this manner? Is he cheating in the finals?”

  “Wrong!” Fearless suddenly commented, “He isn’t cheating. It is the equipment.”

  “Equipment?” Everyone was slightly dazed, “Even Old Evil’s fist cannot break through that armour? Could that be some kind of invincible armour?”

  “Tsk!” Fearless sneered coldly, “That is not even an armour!”

  “Not an armour? Then what could it be?” Hearing what Fearless said, everyone was even more confused. Looking at how Nine Deities Arrow covered himself up like Iron Man, what else could it be if it wasn’t an armour.

  Fearless replied, “It is a weapon! Think about it! Only the user of a weapon will not be hurt no matter how much damage is done on the weapon before it gets destroyed.”

  “Weapon?”

  Everyone was stunned as they muttered to themselves, “To turn a weapon into something like that… Seems like this kid is a scientist.”

  …

  Indeed, all kinds of defensive equipment would have a fixed defense value while weapons did not have one. Using a weapon to block attacks could offset the attacks for as long as the weapon could endure.

  The most classic example would be a Guardian’s shield. If a Guardian raised his shield to block an attack, the Guardian would not be hurt unless the shield was destroyed.

  However, hinder skills were not counted because, under the judgement of a skill, a weapon wouldn’t consume its durability.

  Just like what Fearless said, Nine Deities Arrow’s ‘armour’ was actually the mechanical weapon of a Mechanism Master. It could alter its various components to change its shape according to the wishes of the user.

  The reason why Evil Rampage was unable to hurt Nine Deities Arrow was because Evil Rampage’s attacks were completely offset by Nine Deities Arrow’s mechanical armour.

  When Evil Rampage saw that both his fists were unable to hurt Nine Deities Arrow, he thought that his attacks were never going to breakthrough Nine Deities Arrow’s defense. He was baffled and then slightly disappointed.

  At this moment, Nine Deities Arrow suddenly forced himself off the ground to flip 180 degrees. He made sure he aimed his chest at Evil Rampage, who was pressing his head down. Concurrently, Nine Deities Arrow’s chest revealed a bowl-size cannon hole.

  Following which, energy radiance converged from all directions onto the cannon hole.

  A dazzling radiance was shot out from the cannon hole towards Evil Rampage.

  “[Energy Charge]!!”

  Evil Rampage was less than a metre away from the cannon hole and it was already too late for him to dodge when he sensed Nine Deities Arrow’s [Energy Charge].

  “Boom!”

  A loud explosion was heard and Evil Rampage was hit on the shoulder and he was left with one-tenth of his health.

  If this happened in real life, Evil Rampage would have been dead by now… Even if he did not die, Evil Rampage would kill himself if he saw how rugged he looked.

  At this moment, Nine Deities Arrow executed [Sidestep] to the back to open up the distance between Evil Rampage. By raising both arms, a sky full of arrows started raining towards Evil Rampage.

  Evil Rampage was a power-type Pugilist. Without one of his arms, he wouldn’t be able to take down all these arrows the way he did earlier.

  “Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!”

  Evil Rampage did his best to block half of the arrows flying towards him. The other half was pierced through Evil Rampage’s body which cleared his HP and sent him off the stage in white light.

  “…”

  Once Evil Rampage was defeated too, the Quan Zhen Sect looked extremely gloomy.

  He was one of the top three experts of the Quan Zhen Sect and if he was defeated, one could imagine just how strong the Kyushu Squad’s players were.

  Wang Yu came over to kick his own brother, “See! I already told you not to underestimate your opponent.”

  “Tsk!” Everyone looked at Wang Yu disgustingly, “This is all your fault! Why must you curse him!”

  “What?! I’m not at fault here!” Wang Yu argued helplessly.

  As the Quan Zhen Sect was fooling around, Fearless was rejoicing in his heart that he did not send Wang Yu in. Everyone was already acting this way when Evil Rampage lost so just imagine what would happen if Wang Yu was the one who lost this fight. They might even be willing to surrender the entire competition.

  Of course, Nine Deities Arrow was not feeling delighted too. His weapon was dependent on its durability to offset the attacks. After suffering two heavy blows from Evil Rampage, his ‘armour’ durability dropped to below 30%…

  Nine Deities Arrow hid at the corner with tears in his eyes as he quietly repaired his equipment with a small spanner.

  This Evil Rampage was too frightening. Two attacks were enough to decrease its durability to such a level. If Nine Deities Arrow suffered one more blow, he would have lost his equipment and life on the spot.

  This set of mechanical armour was Nine Deities Arrow’s entire fortune and life. If it was destroyed, nobody knew how long it might take for him to form another set like this.

  The ignorant Sacred Mountain even pointed at Evil Rampage and chuckled, “It seems like the legendary Kung Fu is nothing compared to the power of science and technology.”

  “!!!”

  Even though Sacred Mountain’s words were meant to taunt his opponents, it felt more like an insult.

  Unintentionally, it caught the attention of the others.

  When Yang Nuo and Wang Yu heard what Sacred Mountain said, all of them including spectators who admired martial arts immediately frowned.

  Why was Kung Fu in decline? Besides the parochialism in society and the reluctance to bear hardships, the main reason was because of the attacks from the power of modern science and technology.

  Kung Fu was a skill to kill others.

  However, technology made it as easy as moving a finger to kill a person. Who would want to waste their energy to learn Kung Fu?

  Therefore, even though people who practiced Kung Fu had nothing against technology, they would still feel unhappy when someone compared their Kung Fu to technology.

  Sacred Mountain’s words were like salt on an open wound.
