Refining a combat technique on the spot…
This was exactly the kind of thing Yun Jin could pull off!
The robot threw a punch, Yun Jin dodged slightly, then countered with an even more precise strike. The robot adjusted its angle, and Yun Jin responded with an even trickier angle. In theory, this robot's body could not be damaged.
But after Yun Jin had toyed with it for a while, the robot's movements began to slow. It struggled to analyze Yun Jin's actions. The more it analyzed, the slower its movements became.
Eventually,
the robot stood in place and smoke began rising from it.
The Tenth Robot… was decommissioned.
Yun Jin froze.
She stood there looking innocent, instinctively glancing outside the arena.
What just happened?
Was this robot really that fragile?
She had only refined its technique a little and, since she had nothing better to do, sparred lightly with it. She had not even used much force. And yet, it was decommissioned?
Yun Jin suspected it might have been an overreaction.
Below the arena, the robot took a deep breath. These robots, unlike him, did not possess consciousness. They were all programmed with fixed routines.
What had Yun Jin just done?
She had effectively upgraded the program in front of it. As the Tenth Robot analyzed, it found the actions both familiar and baffling. Why did the opposing program suddenly become so strong, even though it was essentially the same?
As it analyzed further, its circuitry overloaded.
Puff!
Naturally, it was decommissioned.
"Does this count as… clearing the level?" Yun Jin asked.
In theory…
Since the robot no longer moved, it had been defeated by her.
The arena fell silent for a moment.
Then a mechanical voice sounded: "Trial successfully completed. Do you wish to continue?"
"Continue the challenge!" Yun Jin answered without hesitation. She did not pause for rest and immediately began the next battle.
Facing the Ninth Robot, Yun Jin once again flirted with danger.
Analyze technique.
Refine technique.
Practice technique.
She completed the full cycle.
Below the arena, the robot's eyes widened. These robots relied on him for maintenance. Don't break it, don't break it! Even a worker can hold grudges! If possible, he would have rushed up personally to give Yun Jin instructions!
But during the first round, when Yun Jin warned Man Sen, he had activated the silent glass shield. The arena programs were fixed. Even if he had programmed them himself, he could not intervene mid-session.
He could only watch helplessly.
The Ninth Robot yielded a mid-tier Earth-level technique to Yun Jin.
This time, she did not tinker too long.
Seeing the robot starting to smoke, she quickly found its weak point and ended the round.
The Ninth Robot survived.
Below the arena,
the robot paused, and two hearts appeared in its eyes.
Indeed, Yun Jin was the best for him. Her restraint must have been to reduce his workload.
"The Celestial Divine Palace will be mine. These robots, in some sense, will become my assistants. I'd better not hit too hard," Yun Jin muttered and moved to the next round.
She breezed through two rounds without any harm, just warming up.
Seventh Robot.
Yun Jin cleared it, acquiring a high-tier Earth-level technique.
Without pause, she advanced to the Sixth Robot!
Na Jia focused her gaze.
She had been instantly killed at the Sixth Robot.
The difficulty here increased drastically! Yun Jin could not possibly find it easy.
The Sixth Robot's strength and comprehension of the Dao were indeed a full step above the previous ones.
Yun Jin analyzed with the system.
The technique practiced by the Sixth Robot was already Heaven-level. Though only a low-tier Heaven-level technique, it was still Heaven-level. The Earth-level techniques from earlier were perfect for regular disciples. These Heaven-level techniques were meant for elite disciples.
She had to take them all.
Heaven-level techniques were slightly more challenging.
Yun Jin spent three hours completing the full process to acquire the refined techniques.
Na Jia, from initial anticipation to numbness, was left speechless.
Though Yun Jin spent three hours, most of that time was spent showing off!
Seeing the robot about to collapse, she quickly finished clearing the level.
At the Sixth Robot, she was effortlessly in control. In contrast, Na Jia would have been instantly killed. The difference was vast.
Na Jia began to doubt herself.
Were she and Yun Jin really so far apart?
No, no, no!
She comforted herself.
Yun Jin was just stronger in this trial space. Here, only the Yin Yang Law could be used. Yun Jin's mastery of the Law was the highest, so some advantage was expected. In a real life-or-death fight, she might not fear her!
With that thought, Na Jia gradually calmed down. She did not even realize her mindset had changed completely. When she first arrived, she planned to find a chance to kill Yun Jin. Now she thought, in life-or-death combat, she might not fear her.
The next round was the Fifth Robot.
Di Xiao focused.
This was the level he had stopped at.
Yun Jin's total points had returned to first place.
But whether she could clear the Fifth Robot mattered greatly to Di Xiao. He wanted to see if he truly was inferior to Yun Jin.
The Fifth Robot's technique was now mid-tier Heaven-level!
Its complexity was a full step above the Tenth Robot. However, Yun Jin's Yin Yang Codex had already been cultivated to the second layer.
The system could not even define its level.
For others, the mid-tier Heaven-level technique would be difficult.
For Yun Jin, it was like a college student learning 1+1.
The system analyzed and refined the technique again.
The refined version became even more intricate.
Watching Yun Jin spar with the robot,
Di Xiao sighed after a long while. He had always been proud. But in front of Yun Jin, repeatedly struck down, he now felt genuine respect for the first time.
This feeling, he had never experienced, even against the Wan Dao Saint. He had personally faced the Fifth Robot and knew how difficult it was.
Yet in Yun Jin's hands, the Fifth Robot was no different from the Tenth. The situation had been under her control the entire time.
"Trial successfully cleared the Fifth Robot. Continue challenge?"
"Continue."
Yun Jin smiled, continuing immediately to the next round without rest.
The Fourth Robot had even defeated Di Xiao.
Its technique was already high-tier Heaven-level.
Yet Yun Jin cleared it after a brief effort.
The Third and Second Robots were still Heaven-level techniques.
Even within the Heaven-level, there were grades.
During the Third Robot, Di Xiao could still follow the fight.
By the Second Robot, he could no longer even comprehend it!
Di Xiao began to realize.
On this Yin Yang path, Yun Jin had advanced far beyond them.
After three days and nights,
Yun Jin never paused and now stood before the First Robot.
