Chapter 317: 163 The strong, are those who make others fear you!_2

He then had to wonder if the experience points had been swallowed by his personal panel.

His gaze shifted downward, where two dark red emblems caught Bai Xiao’s attention.

[Profession: Combat Specialist LV.3 (81/300)]

(Extractable)

[Skill: Protection LV.3 (11/300)]

(Extractable)

"Dark Red, extract."

He uttered quietly in his mind, concentrating slightly.

Suddenly, a flash of red light passed by, and a moment later it vanished.

The newly acquired combat specialist profession experience was then converted into potential points.

[Dark Red Modifier]

[Potential Points: 6→13]

He had gained a total of seven potential points, a good start.

Bai Xiao slowly exhaled, turning his gaze to another profession, that of a Biological Mecha Master. In the previous battle, he had thought about the need for the Biological Mecha Master profession to improve through continuous combat, which is why Bai Xiao had deployed the First Generation Magic Cloud Armor. Unfortunately, as soon as he used it, the upper half of his body was sliced by the Wing-level Armor Golden Weaver’s attack, Golden Gale; the disparity was simply too large.

But shattered biological armor was still biological armor.

As a pilot of the Mo Yun First Generation, having a slightly stronger physique allowed him to continue fighting an opponent’s Wing-level Armor even with his own armor completely shattered. Who said that this was not allowed, or that it was wrong?

A frail body, driven by powerful armor, could burst forth with astonishing combat power. That was the Biological Mecha Master. A fearsome physique, manually pulling the armor into action and releasing exaggerated combat power, was also the Biological Mecha Master!

As long as the armor could move, don’t worry about how it moves.

After all, Bai Xiao’s original intent for enhancing these pieces of biological armor was to gain the Devourer ability once the Biological Mecha Master profession was sublimated. He’d then consume fully leveled biological armor to nourish and enrich his attributes. Whether or not to pilot a mecha was of little interest to him...

Of course, viewed from another perspective.

Every time Bai Xiao devoured a full-level set of armor, it was as if he was permanently donning that piece of biological armor. The more he consumed, the more he wore. Devouring ten sets of biological armor meant that he was constantly wearing the cumulative amplification effect of ten sets of armor at all times. Was this not a kind of unity between man and armor? It’s said that such unity is the dream of every Biological Mecha Master...

Little did they know, Bai Xiao could easily achieve this in the future.

[Your skill "Mo Yun First Generation", experience +398!]

[Your skill "Mo Yun First Generation", has risen to LV.2!]

[Your skill "Mo Yun First Generation", has risen to LV.3!]

In his field of vision, the Biological Mecha Master profession was displayed.

[Skill: Mo Yun First Generation LV.3 (25/400)]

With a bit more effort, the Mo Yun First Generation series might become the first set of biological armor that Bai Xiao leveled to the max. Besides that, he could now also take the other pieces of biological armor out for a stroll to accumulate experience.

And prepare for future profession enhancements.

A beep sounded, and a message came through.

He pulled out his phone to look.

It was a notification from the branch office that the combat mission was ready.

"Then, let’s begin..."

...

Heng Guang City, at the border with Huaisui City.

Several winding highways sliced through the woodland, spreading into the distance.

A camouflage-painted off-road vehicle slowly advanced, abruptly turning right at a junction on the highway and descending on a gently sloping road.

On both sides of the road, lush forests provided cover, with patches of sunlight sprinkling the ground.

The vehicle continued forward, passing several villages until it arrived near a small town, where it gradually came to a stop. In front of it lay a gray concrete roadway leading to a high-walled factory with a black iron gate.

At the entrance to the factory, there were security guards and patrolling security personnel.

Given the sharp eyes and vigilant looks of these personnel, they were certainly not ordinary security guards but individuals trained by Evolution Land.

The off-road vehicle moved slowly toward them.

Inside the car, Bai Xiao quietly glanced at Gu Ping in the passenger seat.

"Understood."

Gu Ping took a deep breath and nodded.

As the car approached the factory, several security personnel stopped it. They intended to question them, but their expressions changed when Gu Ping showed a brass metal badge, and they quickly entered the factory to seek instructions.

It was a brass badge shaped like a serpent’s pupil, the size of two fingernails.

According to Gu Ping, inside Evolution Land, it signified one’s ascent into the higher echelons. His was the lowest-level brass serpent’s pupil badge, with higher tiers like silver and gold available. Flashing the badge, for Evolution Land bases, was like the arrival of senior leadership for inspection.

Of course, except for some particularly important secret bases.

As expected, after a brief wait of a minute or two, several people hurried out from inside the factory, including one who was enthusiastic yet fawning.

Soon, Bai Xiao and Gu Ping made their way to the most hidden part of the factory.

There, they found a white metal elevator that led directly underground.

In the elevator, Bai Xiao stood behind Gu Ping, silently observing a middle-aged man dressed as a secretary and a black-haired man in combat attire across from them.

Gu Ping chatted with the two men, pretending to inspect the site.

As for Bai Xiao, he played the role of Gu Ping’s bodyguard.

The elevator descended until at some point it suddenly stopped with a ding.

Metal doors on both sides slid open.

Before them laid a silver hall shaped like an onion, with passages leading to different areas of the underground base in all directions.
