With a mechanical crack, the man-height metal box in front of Lu Yi split open from the middle. Two red lights flashed, and a massive robot covered in arcane magical patterns stepped out. The robot looked rugged and enormous—almost twice Lu Yi's size. Standing before him, it exuded a fierce and intimidating aura.
"Not bad. Looks great. Now we can begin a live combat test!"
Lu Yi nodded with satisfaction, then added, "Activate Chaos Mode!"
The robot's full name would be something like Magical Armor Automatic Mechanized…—with a lot of complex technical terms. It was a fusion of magic and technology, the culmination of all Lu Yi's current knowledge.
Lu Yi had set three combat modes for it: Defense Mode, Slaughter Mode, and Chaos Mode.
Defense Mode: Select any target designated by Lu Yi and protect it until destroyed.
Slaughter Mode: Target any entity marked by Lu Yi and destroy it until death.
Chaos Mode: No specific target; anything visible—except Lu Yi—would be treated as a target and destroyed.
As Chaos Mode activated, the red light in the robot's eyes suddenly intensified. It raised its arms, and the components began shifting and transforming.
Kacha… hummm… kacha!
Both arms morphed into two heavy gun barrels pointed in different directions. The glowing red eyes scanned the surroundings, searching for targets.
Its gaze swept past Lu Yi and landed on a nearby abandoned car.
Buzz… buzz…
Two sonic blasts shot from the twin barrels, hitting the car's front and rear.
The abandoned car began to tremble violently. Its intact windows shattered instantly, and the rusted components fell apart under an invisible force.
But that wasn't the end.
A mechanical whirring came from the robot's shoulder as a small-caliber cannon emerged and aimed at the ruined car.
A blinding beam of light fired, sweeping across the already devastated vehicle.
BOOM!
With a thunderous explosion, a mushroom cloud rose where the car once stood. The vehicle had been blasted clean out of existence.
"Impressive firepower. Let me try it myself! Activate Slaughter Mode. Target: Lu Yi!" Lu Yi said without hesitation.
The robot didn't hesitate either. The red glow in its eyes pulsed violently, and the sonic cannons aimed at Lu Yi—firing immediately.
"Not bad," Lu Yi said casually as he picked his ear.
The sonic attacks were still fairly decent, in his opinion. If he could one day find a better power source and improve the damage output, it would be even better.
Just as he thought this, a laser shot from the robot and hit him in the chest.
The result… well, there was no result.
To Lu Yi, that laser felt no different than a tickle.
The robot seemed to realize this, and its arms shifted again, transforming into two long silver-white swords shimmering with cold light.
As the swords appeared, flames burst from the robot's feet, propelling it forward like a cannonball toward Lu Yi.
Lu Yi had programmed special sword techniques into the robot—techniques meant to be used with the very swords now being wielded against him.
Facing the twin blades, Lu Yi didn't block directly. He extended two fingers, pinched the back of one sword, and twisted his wrist lightly.
CLANG!
A crisp metallic clang rang out as Lu Yi used the first sword to intercept the second.
Sparks flew!
As the creator of these swords, no one knew them better than Lu Yi, and he had never planned to clash head-on.
These swords were special—crafted from diamond-alloy and enchanted with magical runes.
They possessed one extraordinary trait: indestructibility.
This power, born of magic, could deal immense damage to certain physically strong creatures. Such damage could not be resisted through physical means—only magic could block it.
When Lu Yi tested the sharpness without magic once, a light graze from the blade instantly severed his finger.
Now, without using magic, he had no choice but to avoid direct cuts.
"The reaction speed is a bit slow, strength is a little weak—relying on magi-particles alone won't cut it!" Lu Yi said, stepping back as he narrowly evaded another sword swing.
Swoosh… swoosh… swoosh…
The robot seized the moment to pursue. As Lu Yi retreated, it lunged forward, its twin blades slashing through the air like a raging storm.
Lu Yi lightly tapped the ground, his figure drifting backward gracefully, dodging strike after strike.
Finding its swords ineffective, the robot opened a panel on its back, revealing eight custom missiles.
Swoosh… swoosh… swoosh…
The missiles launched, sealing off Lu Yi's escape path.
The robot then charged, swinging its twin swords, aiming to strike within the smoke and debris.
This was one of the standard tactics designed by Lu Yi himself.
He fully approved.
He pretended to be an ordinary human, let the eight missiles strike, and allowed the robot to use the explosion's cover to launch a follow-up attack.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG…
Through the smoke, the sound of metal clashing rang out, accompanied by flashes of sparks.
But when the dust cleared—
Lu Yi stood completely unharmed.
The robot, however, had its arms slightly deformed from the impact forces.
