Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Looking at the giant mechanical beast before his eyes, a voice suddenly rang out next to Lu Yu’s ears.

“Detected unknown life form. Initiating genetic identification!”

“Genetic identification completed. Life form identified as Human Race.

Assessment mode activated!”

“Assessment candidate please check your own physical condition. Assessment will begin soon!”

When this announcement rang out, Lu Yu smiled faintly, and a sense of anticipation welled up in his heart.

“Looks like this assessment is quite interesting. It’s just nice for me to test my current strength!”

As Lu Yu spoke, he drew out his Blood Emperor Battle Saber from his interspatial ring.

“Assessment candidate is ready for combat. Strength level is Grade 9 War General. Highest level of assessment mode is specially activated!”

“Countdown begins now. Assessment candidate please standby. Three, two, one. Assessment officially begins!”

As the voice rang out again, the giant mechanical beast which had paused momentarily started up again. It came charging at Lu Yu.

“This is great! Let me take a look at this assessment’s difficulty level!”

Facing the onward charging giant mechanical beast, Lu Yu did not feel any fear whatsoever. He swung the Blood Emperor Battle Saber in his hand and dashed towards it right away.

Boom…

The Blood Emperor Battle Saber in Lu Yu’s hand chopped down directly on the onrushing giant mechanical beast’s body. An extremely crisp buzzing sound emanated from the beast.

Lu Yu was slightly startled when he felt the tremendous force of the recoil from the Blood Emperor Battle Saber in his hand.

He had not expected this giant mechanical beast before his eyes, left behind from who knew what era, to possess such an incredibly powerful strength!

Looking at this giant mechanical beast in the form of a gorilla, Lu Yu felt his fighting spirit growing stronger inwardly.

“Looks like this assessment is really very interesting. I can’t slack off this time… ”

Lu Yu muttered to himself while staring fixedly at the giant mechanical gorilla beast right before his eyes.

Just as Lu Yu was preparing to continue his charge at the giant mechanical gorilla beast, another lion-shaped giant mechanical beast appeared and came charging at Lu Yu.

And that was not all. As the lion-shaped giant mechanical beast was charging at Lu Yu, a streak of dark shadow in the sky also came lunging straight down at

Lu Yu.

Sensing the killing intents coming from two different sources, Lu Yu quickly activated the skills he had obtained through his Gluttony Talent.

“Swift Thunderfire Flash!”

With the help of the skill, Lu Yu dodged rapidly and evaded the attacks coming from two different mechanical beasts instantly.

After evading the two giant mechanical beasts’ attacks, Lu Yu dropped down to the ground and landed on his feet firmly.

“That was close. If I hadn’t reacted quickly, the attacks from these two mechanical beasts would have sent me to meet the King of Hades.”

Looking at the dark shadow in the sky, Lu Yu realized with a shock it was an eagle-shaped mechanical beast.

Looking at the three giant mechanical beasts before him, Lu Yu swallowed nervously and gripped the Blood Emperor Battle Saber in his hand even more tightly.

“But I am still quite excited to come face to face with you three guys. After all, I have… not encountered such formidable opponents for a long time now!”

As Lu Yu spoke, he smiled faintly. Wielding the Blood Emperor Battle Saber in his hand, he swiftly rushed towards these three giant mechanical beasts before his eyes.

In response to Lu Yu’s fast and furious charge, the three giant mechanical beasts launched their attacks at Lu Yu concurrently without hesitation.

That gorilla-shaped giant mechanical beast charged directly at Lu Yu in a frontal attack. It swung its massive iron fists and smashed them right in Lu

Yu’s face.

As the gorilla-shaped giant mechanical beast launched its frontal attack on Lu Yu, the lion-shaped giant mechanical beast took the opportunity to launch its attack on Lu Yu from Lu Yu’s northern side!

Meanwhile, that eagle-shaped giant mechanical beast spread out its wings and extended its sharp talons as it came plunging down at Lu Yu to claw at him.

Lu Yu first used the Blood Emperor Battle Saber in his hand to block the gorilla-shaped giant mechanical beast’s frontal attack!

Immediately after that, his figure flashed. Making use of the immense force of the recoil from blocking the gorilla-shaped giant mechanical beast, he directly evaded the attack of the lion-shaped giant mechanical beast coming from behind him.

Having dodged the attacks from two giant mechanical beasts, Lu Yu’s figure leaped up into mid-air.

At this moment, the sharp talons of that eagle-shaped giant mechanical beast were aiming straight for Lu Yu to claw at him.

As Lu Yu had not quite recovered from his earlier escape, he couldn’t dodge in time and was immediately grasped by the talons of that eagle-shaped giant mechanical beast!

That eagle-shaped giant mechanical beast simply grasped Lu Yu with its talons in this way, reared upwards and shot straight up into the sky.

It seemed like this eagle-shaped giant mechanical beast did this because it was going to drop Lu Yu down to his death from a high level.

However, Lu Yu wasn’t about to give this giant mechanical beast this chance!

With a burst of blinding speed, Lu Yu struggled free from the eagle-shaped giant mechanical beast’s talons. As he swung the Blood Emperor Battle Saber in his hand, he gave a deep, vicious slash on the eagle-shaped giant mechanical beast’s body!

After receiving this vicious slash from Lu Yu, the eagle-shaped giant mechanical beast burst into a cloud of scattered mechanical parts, dispersing throughout the sky.

“Hah! And here I was thinking how powerful you guys must be. Now it looks like this is all you’ve got!”

As Lu Yu looked at the machine parts of the eagle-shaped giant mechanical beast scattered across the sky, he gave a scornful laugh.

Seeing this terrifying scene, Lu Yu laughed awkwardly and swallowed nervously a few times.

“Damn! This time I’m really screwed. Even if I don’t die this time, I will still lose one layer of skin!”

While Lu Yu was caught up in this predicament, in front of Flame Country’s Demon-taming Pass, the capital’s Supreme Commander Yao Xianming watched with a grim expression the massive tide of monsters that covered vast expanses of land charging forward.

“Looks like these beasts couldn’t hold back any longer in the end. Sigh! I wonder if our generation can suppress these beasts in the same way our venerable forefathers did before!”

As Yao Xianming spoke, he hit out viciously at the city wall of the Demon-taming Pass in front of him.

A middle-aged man by his side saw the onrushing monsters in front of the pass that resembled a massive tidal wave. He smiled faintly and said calmly, “Old Yao, let’s have a contest between you and I. We’ll see who can slay more monsters!”

As the middle-aged man finished speaking, before Yao Xianming could say anything, he grabbed the huge ax beside him and leaped down from the top of the city wall. He then dashed into the midst of that massive tide of monsters.

Looking at the middle-aged man dashing into the midst of the mass of monsters, Yao Xianming was slightly taken aback at first, and then he smiled faintly.

“This old man is still as arrogant as ever. But this time, I won’t lose to you again!”

As Yao Xianming spoke, he also leaped down and landed squarely in the midst of that mass of monsters at the foot of the wall.

Following that, before the monsters around Yao Xianming could launch their attacks at him, the aura that emanated from Yao Xianming’s body blew up all the monsters into a sky-obliterating blood-colored smog.

“You beasts! Today I, Yao Xianming, will show you that we Human Race are not just simply food in your mouths!”
