Silicon Invasion

After the battle, Luo Rui realized that the Wolf Leader wasn't as strong as he had imagined. Perhaps its advantage over ordinary wolves lay in its intelligence. However, the combat effectiveness of the guardian wolf was significantly higher than that of ordinary wolves.

But overall, their basic template was too poor. Even with a twenty percent increase, that's all it amounted to.

This slight enhancement, in front of a fully-powered Concentrated Spirit Luo Rui, was no different from an ordinary wolf.

Although the battle was arduous, the team ultimately achieved victory amidst the shock of the onlookers, obtaining a truly meaningful expert-level completion achievement.

"This year's special recruit is a real powerhouse."

"With such a powerhouse, even I could do it. I'll ask the powerhouse later if he can carry me through an expert level once. I'll meet any conditions."

"I wonder if the Knights Order is still recruiting? I want to switch guilds."

"Are you going to defect?!"

"Hey, that idea is actually not bad. The powerhouse will be staying at the school for four years. In such a long time, if we're on the same team, we can definitely get an expert-level completion."

"That's not certain. He's already stronger than the seniors. After supplementing some basics at school, he might graduate early."

"Indeed, a talent like him shouldn't stay in school…"

"Damn it, if that's the case, wouldn't we have to compete with him for that spot?"

"…I think it's better for him to stay in school…"

"Agreed…"

After the battle, Luo Rui couldn't even walk out of the simulation pod on his own. His body wasn't normally this weak. Besides, a Body Resistance of 1.3 already surpassed most humans.

After Luo Rui upgraded his Body Resistance, the consumption of the Concentrated Spirit state was already bearable for him under normal circumstances. However, in this battle, because Luo Rui absorbed most of the firepower, ever since the three wolf packs combined to charge, he had been maintaining the fully-powered Concentrated Spirit state until the end of the battle.

In the end, he was truly supported by his will.

The reward matched the effort. Not only did Luo Rui reap his first S-level rating in the post-match settlement, but he also earned the respect of his teammates.

Therefore, what's it matter to be unable to climb out of the simulation pod as the hero of this challenge? Naturally, there were strong men and beautiful women to get him out.

Actually, Luo Rui would rather stay in the simulation pod a little longer to recover on his own. It was just that his whole body was soaked in sweat, and the pilot suit was relatively tight and silky. Look, Tong Yue's face was already red.

…

Two months had passed since the last challenge match. The Shining Knights Order won first place with incomparable advantages, after all, they were the only team to clear the expert-level challenge.

After this competition, rumors about Luo Rui using connections and backdoors to enter the school were shattered. Moreover, Luo Rui's popularity soared.

The last time he was so famous was during the hotel incident, but that was a bit negative. This time it was completely positive.

Moreover, even if GJ and the school intervened in the hotel incident to quell the controversy, people still tended towards conspiracy theories in their hearts. But now, Luo Rui used the facts to give the controversy a hard blow. Most people believed that to reach Luo Rui's level, even with talent, one would have to start practicing from the womb. Where would there be time to think about those unnecessary things?

After all, if Luo Rui wasn't an image of a secluded cultivator who didn't care about worldly affairs, wouldn't that make them seem too incompetent?

Luo Rui's fame also brought a wave of popularity to the Shining Knights Order. The number of people applying to join was like a swarm of locusts crossing the river. Everyone was very smart. As long as they could be on the same team as Luo Rui, it would be a huge advantage to clear an expert-level difficulty in the future.

The pressure suddenly fell on Niu Wei, who was the captain. However, a team shouldn't have too many people in the first place. Besides the five main players, there would be at most three substitutes. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of opportunity if they couldn't play in the competition?

Based on this rule, and also because he was about to graduate soon and had to stand guard for this last shift, Niu Wei managed to withstand the pressure, although he offended many people…

Luo Rui didn't have time to pay attention to these things. Since he showed his face in the challenge match, he was considered to be registered with the school's higher-ups. As a "trump card" that was picked up, there was no reason to hide him.

Therefore, Luo Rui was immediately assigned a new task, which was to represent North Mountain Academy in the year-end school exchange meeting.

Originally, as a freshman, even if his level was sufficient, he wouldn't have been qualified to play. But who knew that reforms would begin this year? So Luo Rui could be considered to have caught the tailwind of the reforms…

Therefore, as the main force of this freshman battle, Luo Rui received special training from Zhang Zhi.

Luo Rui also fought against Zhang Zhi for the first time.

As an established senior, Zhang Zhi originally planned to give him a rough start, but it was really hard to do so when both sides could only use third-generation mechs.

Later, Zhang Zhi relied on his rich experience to gain a certain advantage and gradually transformed it into a winning position. However, Luo Rui, sensing the crisis, entered the fully-powered Concentrated Spirit state and immediately brought the situation back, even gaining an advantage. Until Zhang Zhi didn't seem to know what to do, his combat power suddenly increased, and the two sides were re-leveled.

In the end, both sides exhausted all their ammunition, and Zhang Zhi won the game with close combat.

It could be said that the whole game was very ugly, and Zhang Zhi's attempt to assert dominance failed miserably.

Fortunately, this battle was conducted in secret, and only the two of them knew about it, so it wasn't too embarrassing.

From then on, Zhang Zhi never mentioned sparring again.

Fortunately, it wasn't that he couldn't teach anything. At least, close combat, especially mech close combat, was Luo Rui's weakness. Although Luo Rui's unorthodox disadvantages were not obvious when facing ordinary opponents, this defect would be exposed when facing top mech pilots from professional backgrounds.

He lost to Old Li in the last battle in the same way, and Zhang Zhi also did this time. They could always predict the next move, which made Luo Rui very passive.

Fortunately, he was now starting to learn about this aspect.

Although Zhang Zhi felt that Luo Rui's long-range firepower was enough to sweep the freshmen, including freshmen from other schools, there was no problem. But he couldn't hang the name of Luo Rui's teacher and teach nothing, right?

Although Luo Rui didn't dare to talk nonsense in front of him now, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't say anything in the future. In case he became famous in the future and was asked what he had taught him when he was on a program and interviewed, and this guy said that he hadn't taught anything, then his lifelong reputation would be ruined.

Therefore, although Zhang Zhi felt that it was not necessary, he still decided to teach Luo Rui something.

After that, it was Zhang Zhi's deeply shocked teaching journey. He truly saw what a genius was. Luo Rui could learn any action after watching it a few times, and then he could imitate it. By the next day, this guy could apply it to actual combat. He was simply not human.
