Chapter 796: Iron Fist Martial God! Kaelsas!
Iron Fist Martial God.
It's actually the fourth-tier of the Mechanical Fighter class.
The so-called Mechanical Fighter is a profession where body parts are replaced with machinery, using mechanical power to gain immense destructive force.
Flesh is weak; machinery ascends.
This slogan was first chanted by the Mechanical Fighters.
In the eyes of many Mechanical Fighters, the flesh is fragile, and only magical machinery is the true path to power.
Weak arms? Replace them! Swap them with mechanical arms!
Weak heart? Replace it! Swap it with a mana-powered heart!
Fragile bones? Replace them! Swap them with a steel skeleton and a body built from magic-enhanced mechanical fibers!
This school of thought often mocks and belittles other martial paths.
As a result, many strong traditional martial artists hold Mechanical Fighters in contempt.
But to be fair...
The Mechanical Fighter profession is actually very popular among many who change their class.
At the very least, after replacing mechanical parts, one's strength indeed grows visibly at a rapid pace.
The burly man before them, named Kaelsas, was an Iron Fist Martial God.
Level 169.
Within the Holy Knights, his strength is well-recognized.
He is rough in demeanor, violent in nature, and never shows mercy to his enemies.
Once he starts fighting, he becomes somewhat manic and has no sense of restraint.
Perhaps this is tied to his upbringing.
Now.
Kaelsas faced the provocation of the little girl before him and naturally wouldn't hold back.
Moreover...
Her petite, adorable figure didn't awaken his protective instincts but instead triggered his cruel desires.
The thought of brutally crushing this doll-like, delicate loli gave him a wicked thrill!
But since this was just a sparring match, he couldn't kill her, so Kaelsas sneered and said, "If this is just a simple spar, I won't be able to show my real strength."
"Since you're so arrogant, dare to have a deathmatch with me?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Shuang narrowed her eyes and smiled faintly. "Why wouldn't I dare?"
Seeing this, Kaelsas's grin widened as he immediately accessed his information panel, linking it to the arena's system network to initiate a deathmatch request.
Meng Shuang also opened her information panel, linked to the network, and accepted the deathmatch request sent by Kaelsas.
The convenience of the game world lies in this.
By opening your information panel, you can connect directly to the arena's magical network, much like using a computer.
This scene before them.
Left the audience completely stunned.
"Wasn't this supposed to be a spar? How did it suddenly become a deathmatch?"
"Don't you know Kaelsas's personality by now? He almost always applies for deathmatches during spars."
"Yeah, that's just how he is. Many members of the Holy Knights avoid sparring with him because once he enters combat mode, he becomes extremely brutal!"
"Some say it's because of his upbringing, but I think it's due to how many parts of his body he's replaced. Rumor has it that even his brain has been swapped with a mana-powered electronic brain..."
"What?! Are you serious? That's crazy!"
"It's true. Kaelsas hardly has any human parts left on him."
"The reason he replaced his brain with a mana-powered electronic one is simple: to more efficiently process combat information from his organs, enhancing his combat prowess."
"People will do anything to get stronger, huh..."
The audience engaged in heated discussions.
Of course...
Some traditional martial artists expressed disdain.
Depending on machines doesn't count as real strength!
True strength comes from constant self-discipline and hard training!
At this moment.
More and more spectators gathered.
After all, the news of people challenging Ling Zhan had already spread widely.
Many people had gotten up early to witness the battle firsthand.
But what they didn't expect...
Was that three beautiful young girls would be accepting the challenges on Ling Zhan's behalf!
Perhaps during this time, Yun Man, Meng Shuang, and Chang Yue had absorbed the effects of the Beast God's Boundary-Breaking Pill, further perfecting their appearances.
As a result, even the spectators who had researched Ling Zhan's background couldn't immediately recognize them.
Now.
The deathmatch contract had been signed.
The Dragon Kingdom embassy's staff member was somewhat helpless—he hadn't agreed to it initially.
After all, these three beautiful young girls were Ling Zhan's contracted divine beasts.
If something went wrong here, how would he explain it to Ling Zhan?
And how would he face the three divine beasts, all over level 190?
However, given the personalities of these divine beast princesses, they wouldn't care about anyone's opinions.
He could only hope for the best.
......
On the stage.
Both sides had signed the deathmatch contract and were now facing off.
Boom!!
Kaelsas sneered, his specially modified steel fists colliding with each other, sending sparks flying and causing shockwaves to ripple as he psyched himself up.
"Both sides, prepare..."
The referee raised his hand.
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
"Begin the match!"
As the referee's stern voice fell.
Boom!!
Just as the audience had predicted, Kaelsas's brutal and impatient nature showed.
The moment the countdown ended, he launched himself forward. His mechanical body, like an engine roaring to life, expelled white steam from various parts.
His mechanical body had entered high-speed operational mode!!
In the next second...
Boom!!
With a single step forward, even the specially constructed stage floor dented under his weight. His entire body charged forward like a heavy tank, carrying an unstoppable force toward the adorable loli on the opposite side!
Swoosh!!
Under everyone's gaze, Kaelsas's figure seemed to warp through space, leaving afterimages as his speed reached its peak.
"What incredible speed!"
"Is this the terrifying propulsion power of mana-powered machinery?"
Although many in the audience looked down on Kaelsas's reliance on machinery, they couldn't help but be shocked by his terrifying speed!
In just an instant.
Kaelsas's towering, mountain-like figure appeared before Meng Shuang, his face twisted with a ferocious expression!
