Chapter Title: Rules of Life (Seeking Monthly Votes)
The so-called preparation naturally involved putting on battle armor.
From Chen Chu's Xumi Bracelet, fragments of golden-red battle armor flew out, clattering as they transformed into the magnificent and fierce Dragon Blood Battle Armor, enveloping him.
Four platinum gears slowly rotated around his head, with two emitting a brilliant blue and gold light, giving off an inexplicable sense of sanctity against the backdrop of the battle armor's halo.
Li Hao still wore the same black battle armor, covered in various barbs, with two pairs of exotic beast horns mounted on his shoulders, giving him a rugged, ancient warrior appearance.
The battle armor of Lin Xue and her sister was more in line with feminine aesthetics, featuring gorgeous red and blue crystal armor, while An Fuqing's cyan battle armor also looked quite dashing.
However...
Looking at Xia Youhui's heavy battle armor, primarily yellow and cracked, resembling a tortoise shell, Chen Chu couldn't help but say, "Old Xia, isn’t your battle armor a bit... off?"
"What's wrong with it?"
Xia Youhui replied proudly, "This is made from the essence of the Earth Land Tortoise shell sent back by my brother, forged with extraordinary materials into Earth Battle Armor."
"Due to the compatibility with my cultivation method, it can maximize the defensive capabilities of the Xuanwu thick earth, plus the re-forged Giant Turtle Battle Shield makes my defenses even stronger."
"Uh... I didn’t mean the defense, but your armor's design... isn’t it a bit unique?"
Li Hao said solemnly, "Chen Chu means you look like a turtle."
Pfft! Lin Yu, who had been holding back her laughter, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
At that moment, someone in the distance exclaimed, "Wow, such cool mechs!"
In the Simon camp not far away, several mechs, each about ten to twenty meters tall, kept appearing. Most of these mechs were humanoid, with a few taking the form of exotic beasts.
The most imposing was a massive black-and-white mech, standing over forty meters tall, with beast-like claws and broad shoulders towering several meters high, resembling the scales and horns of a black giant beast.
Most importantly, in front of that powerful mech stood Jia Baifina, with her dazzling golden hair and exquisite features, giving off a strong visual impact of a beautiful woman alongside a mech beast.
Compared to Eastern Summer and North Frost, the Simon camp appeared even more formidable, as they released towering mechs from the subspace.
Their storage space for mechs was different from Chen Chu's Xumi Bracelet; it was a folding subspace that could accommodate large mechs.
However, aside from the matching mechs and ammunition, it couldn’t store other items.
The reason was that the shells of these mech ammunition were infused with a special metal, emitting distinctive fluctuations that matched with the subspace.
On the North Frost side, a young man with black scales on his cheeks said lightly, "Don’t be fooled by those guys; once their ammunition runs out, they're just big machines."
"Indeed, once inside the ruins without ammunition resupply, they'll have to rely on the mech's kinetic energy, and their strength will plummet."
The Human Race Federation had three distinct cultivation paths, each with its own advantages and minor flaws.
At this moment, Chen Chu asked, "By the way, you all have the corresponding Energy Gemstones, right?"
"Yes, they're all in the Xumi Bracelet."
As top-tier geniuses about to enter the ruins, Chen Chu and the others had received resources from the Federation on their way here.
Energy crystals to restore true power, spirit liquid for quickly healing internal and external injuries, and energy bombs equivalent to a sixth-level heaven cultivator's strike, among others.
"Prepare."
As the time arrived, Xie Chen and Ji Yongning shouted in unison, and two rings of purple and white light soared into the sky, transforming into two massive figures over a hundred meters high.
