"... Yes." Zhu Ning looked at Lin Li and nodded.
"Alright, let me give it a try then." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Lin Li’s gaze swept toward the system.
"Designated Array Materials (Mid-grade) *5."
Back when the task was to repair the school’s electricity, the reward could be exchanged for some designated mid-grade and low-grade materials.
Combining the Cultivation Realm’s encyclopedia left by Shan Qing Old Deng and Deng Wen, Lin Li could use them to create many of the arrays from the Cultivation Realm.
Now was the time to use them.
Nowadays, without needing to use "Strong Memory," he could almost remember everything at a glance. After searching in his mind, he found the suitable target.
"Green Vine Solidifying Array"
"Upon activation, using the Cultivator’s divine thought as a guide, the Array Plate transforms into several green spiritual power light bands resembling flexible vines, which can instantly wrap and bind the target.
The spiritual power light band can temporarily mend cracks and forcibly adhere and bind the target.
The strength of the light band depends on the strength of the array controller, and it can be used to bind people or objects. It can be pre-injected with spiritual power to allow the array to activate automatically."
In reality, there were many arrays suitable for the current scene, especially those in the encyclopedia that were specifically meant for use on the flying shuttles of the Cultivation Realm. Most likely, they could solve the current problem more perfectly than this array.
However, the reason Lin Li chose this array was considering its broader application beyond just the current situation.
Once this array is set up and the materials are used up, to acquire the next array he’d have to rely on chance once more.
Arrays aren’t one-time use; materials can be recycled, and the array he chose should solve the current problem while also being useful in future daily life or Otherworld scenarios.
Without hesitation, and somewhat premeditated, Lin Li immediately exchanged for the required materials, manifested, and constructed the array.
Four mid-grade spiritual materials transformed into mysterious runes, imprinting onto the violently trembling skeleton of the aircraft.
"Rise!" Holding the Array Plate, along with Lin Li’s low murmur, the "Green Vine Solidifying Array" suddenly activated!
Bzzz——
A sound not from the physical structure but originating from spiritual power resonance rang out clearly.
The green runes forming the array seemed to come to life, rapidly spreading, intertwining, and growing into resilient yet flexible energy tendrils, deeply embedding into the crevices of the aircraft’s wreckage.
Countless animate green vines, with astonishing elasticity and resilience, tightly bound and reinforced the nearly disintegrating aircraft.
The horrible metallic screeching of being overburdened, as if it would burst apart in the next second, disappeared, replaced by the tense hum of energy vines tightening like an ancient bowstring being drawn.
The shaking frequency of the whole aircraft sharply decreased. Although it still rocked and swayed in the violent canyon airflow, the main structure had stabilized, changing from an uncontrolled descent to a difficult hover, then beginning to ascend with an extremely slow yet determined pace under Zhu Ning’s control.
"We’ve gone higher again!" Zhu Ning’s voice carried the excitement of a narrow escape and irrepressible panting. Even though she knew Lin Li could create something like this, experiencing it firsthand was still shocking.
"Don’t relax, Miss Zhu," Lin Li cautioned, his eyes fixed on the fissured hull continually tightened and covered by the vines, saying, "The array won’t hold for too long."
Sustaining the array didn’t just require spiritual Qi; it also consumed a lot from Lin Li, though for now, he could maintain stability.
But over time, it would be hard to say.
"The safest altitude, still short by two hundred... watch out for turbulence on the left!"
The energy vines flashed more intensely with green light, undulating to disperse stress like a living thing. The aircraft, akin to a resilient leaf in a raging wave, sharply tilted and then stolidly righted itself, continuing its ascent.
"Two hundred meters?" Lin Li confirmed.
"Yes, of course, this is the theoretically achievable height; naturally, the higher, the better, the larger the margin for error."
"Alright."
meters.
meters.
Time ticked away with each difficult leap on the altimeter and the continuous flicker of the energy vines.
As the aircraft continued operating, it deteriorated further, correspondingly increasing Lin Li’s effort to maintain it.
meters.
The aircraft was still usable; neither of them moved.
meters.
meters.
meters.
"It’s burned out,"
Feeling the connection to the aircraft reaching its limit, Lin Li looked at Zhu Ning: "Now! Zhu Ning!"
Zhu Ning nodded, pressed the button, releasing the restraints on their lower bodies secured to the mecha.
Zhu Ning leaped towards Lin Li, and being prepared, Lin Li caught Zhu Ning steadily. Then, with [Power Storage] activated, [Celestial Testimony] voluntarily shattered, Lin Li exploded with astonishing power, hurling Zhu Ning like a shot put towards the sky above!
"Off you go!!"
Lin Li exclaimed, somewhat excitedly.
As his words fell, Lin Li also retrieved the array into the system warehouse. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
The aircraft, once unbound, completed its final mission as it was instantly yanked by the stronger current from below. Unable to withstand the immense changes in internal and external pressure, it snapped, disintegrated, and turned into countless fragments and parts, mercilessly shredded by the canyon’s violent wind currents, swept into the endless abyss below.
Meanwhile, an exhilarated Lin Li stomped forcefully on a large metallic plate falling through the void, using it as leverage for a springboard push!
"——Transform!!"
A+ Combat Armor!
Bzzz——ROAR!!!
The space around Lin Li’s body distorted and fractured violently like rippling water, and in an instant, an imposing giant mechanical silhouette manifested out of thin air!
Released from the restrictions of the silent field, all armor plates, energy conduits, and weapon hardpoints instantly activated. After a brief drop, the vector engine on the back ignited with a roar, spewing bluish flames that blew the falling metal fragments away in an instant!
The cockpit door opened automatically, engulfing Lin Li as he descended amidst the debris!
Bzzz——
"Connection successful"
"Pilot: Lin Li"
"Mecha Synchronization Index: 80 (160%)"
Inside the cockpit, the visual neural transmission system connected in an instant. A flood of data cascaded like a waterfall in front of Lin Li’s eyes, and as the notification sound chimed, his vision became clear, that feeling of complete control over the mecha surged back into his body.
Roar!
The mecha let out a low roar akin to an engine’s growl. The main engine at its back and posture engines on its limbs simultaneously erupted with even more dazzling blue flames!
The massive body rushed through the chaotic airflow layer over the canyon like a purple-black lightning bolt, charging upwards at an almost vertical angle.
Inside the mecha, Lin Li’s gaze locked onto the blue-green creature tumbling downward in the fierce wind—the hurled Zhu Ning.
"Zhu Ning!" Lin Li’s voice, laced with mirth, echoed through the mecha’s loudspeaker in the wind.
The distance between them rapidly closed, and the mecha’s hand slightly adjusted the vector nozzles upon contact with Zhu Ning’s gelatinous form, generating an upward supportive force that gently cushioned the impact of the fall.
The giant steel fingers, like the most reliable cage, securely cradled Zhu Ning in front of the mecha.
Bzzz——
After holding onto Zhu Ning, the massive hand closed into a secure fortress posture, completely shielding her in the palm, between the armor, away from the wild wind and chaotic streams.
The mecha itself maintained a stable hovering posture, its rear engines keeping altitude with a continuous growl.
The dark canyon abyss roared below them, while the enormous mecha hovered in the higher air where sunlight began to appear, its purple-black armor glimmering with cold metallic sheen and the faint blue of its engines in the dawn light.
"Mission accomplished, Miss Zhu, your aircraft has honorably retired. From here, just catch a ride back with me."
"Thank you, Mr. Lin Li." Zhu Ning nodded with a smile.
The mecha’s head dipped, looking at the beautiful girl in its arms.
Then, Lin Li uttered a heartfelt sentiment—
System, fuck you.
Such a cool scene.
I should be princess-carrying a beautiful girl right now.
Not holding a lump of slime.
Fuck your mom.
