MMORPG: Divine Mech Hunter
Chapter 1256 - Chapter 1256 Chapter 1256 Victory and Defeat

Chapter 1256: Chapter 1256: Victory and Defeat Chapter 1256: Chapter 1256: Victory and Defeat Everyone who witnessed this scene was boiling over with excitement. Many stood up unconsciously, hardly believing their own eyes.

You see, ever since the Priest had made her appearance, she had been winning effortlessly. Even the Mecha, New Mech, dared not face her a second time, which showed how formidable she was.

However, in this match, everyone thought Li Yao was doomed as well, for he was trapped in the same Dreamland. Yet it turned out that Li Yao was merely toying with his opponent.

In fact, for Earthlings, the concept that Dreamland can harm people is not difficult to understand; it all comes down to Spirit and self-hypnosis.

A famous experiment immersed a person in deep hypnosis or a vivid Dreamland. Though not actually burned by fire, they still exhibited burn marks.

Similarly, when virtual games first appeared, some people died in the game and became so deeply immersed that they experienced brain death, which is essentially the same phenomenon.

That’s why modern intelligent brains now include spiritual protection mechanisms.

The Priest’s tactics are easy to understand. She used her spiritual power to construct an illusory scene and influenced others’ Spirits to perceive the scene as real. If they got hurt inside the scene, it was akin to being physically struck. That’s the terrifying aspect of these Mental Mystics.

The drawback is also clear. Against an opponent with strong spiritual power, it doesn’t work and may even backfire. It goes without saying that Li Yao’s spiritual power is formidable, far beyond what the Priest could match.

Earthlings can train their spiritual power, but they can’t apply it to Magic and secret techniques; they can only channel it through Divine Metal, or New Mech.

Though Li Yao had powerful spirit, as a Hunter, he had no training in spiritual techniques and secret techniques. So, he wasn’t exactly countering her, but it was still impossible for the Priest to win with her illusions.

“This is impossible…” The Priest’s eyes flashed brilliantly as numerous translucent Arrows made of spiritual power shot towards Li Yao.

Everyone knew this was a form of attack detected by spiritual power, essentially a spirit shock.

Then, everyone saw that a shield appeared to form around Li Yao’s brain. No matter how intense the spiritual shock, Li Yao seemed to feel nothing.

The Priest, unwilling to concede, let out a Soul Scream, and waves of spiritual shockwaves formed an ocean of spiritual power.

Yet, Li Yao stood firm like a sea-god’s needle, as if the spiritual shock didn’t exist at all.

Li Yao shook his head slightly and said indifferently, “It’s useless. Your spiritual power is too weak. It’s a pity I haven’t mastered the Mental Mystics, or you would have already been struck back. Can’t you feel it? You can’t do anything to me. Give up now. Just one Arrow and you’d be down.”

The Priest’s face turned extremely ugly. Since birth, she had been imbued with the notion of being invincible. Until now, she had never met a real opponent. Even her master had only said that his longevity was his advantage and that in a few years, she would truly surpass her master to become the High Priest and reach the pinnacle of her achievements.

This so-called competition was, in her eyes, merely a dull pastime. She had never taken it seriously. Those so-called elites from various Races were simply no match for her.

To her, humans were even weaker. If not for their interstellar ships, she didn’t consider her Race to be lesser.

Seeing Li Yao’s disdain, she couldn’t stand it, “Do you really think that’s all there is to spiritual power? Your spiritual power may be strong, but without knowing how to apply it, what good does it do?”

“Spiritual power isn’t just for use in secret techniques. In my opinion, the strength of spiritual power is better for analyzing, judging, and controlling an opponent, and more importantly, freely controlling one’s own body to achieve what’s called ‘subtlety.’ No matter how strong your Mental Mystics are, if they’re countered, there’s nothing you can do. But my application is much harder for others to counter,” said Li Yao as he casually took the Thousand Mechanisms Bow into his hands.

“Is that so? It just enhances your body’s agility and strength as a method of attack. You’re speaking too soon about countering me. Let me show you how spiritual power can control matter.”

As the Priest spoke, everyone felt the ground continually tremble. In the eyes of the incredulous crowd, countless fragments of rock began to float in midair, as sturdy boulders from the sports stadium lifted off one by one.

Boulders formed a solid fortress around the Priest, but many more, like shooting stars, smashed toward Li Yao.

“Control over objects with the spirit? It’s the same old trick.”

Li Yao revealed a slight smile as his body, suddenly enveloped in lightning, became translucent. He lightly tapped his toes and leaped forward.

Li Yao’s toes continuously tapped on the hurtling boulders. His eyes turned blue as he scoured for weak points among the boulders protecting the Priest.

The entire stadium resembled a meteorite cluster, utterly chaotic. Yet, Li Yao’s figure nimbly jumped throughout, avoiding not just the boulders but even the smallest fragments.

Li Yao’s spiritual power had expanded outward, and with lightning-fast deductions in his mind combined with spiritual control over his body, he managed to jump back and forth unscathed among the chaotic boulders.

Here it is!

Li Yao’s eyes lit up, then he shot arrows from his hand. Having fired the arrows, he immediately crouched on a wildly flying boulder.

The dark gold arrows directly hit a boulder in front of the Priest. The Priest sneered, but before his smile fully spread, he felt intense pain in his body. He looked down slightly and saw an arrow shaft.

Boom boom boom…

Countless boulders chaotically fell to the ground, and the dust settled.

The Priest, clutching his wound, looked towards the distance. Li Yao stood on a boulder, without even a speck of dust on him.

“How did you do it? I analyzed that even your strongest arrows couldn’t penetrate such hefty, solid boulders. Plus, you didn’t use full strength with your arrows just now,” the light in the Priest’s eyes quickly dimmed.

“I told you, this is the difference between our applications of spiritual power. Of course, my ‘Divine Eye’ also played a part. But mainly, the analysis and judgment, the arrow’s shot location just happened to go through a thin crack. To your second boulder, it appeared intact, but it was actually already shattered inside. Otherwise, it would be as you said. Your spiritual power is strong, but its application is not detailed enough. Unless you have absolute power to overpower, at our level, the details determine the outcome. Your control of spiritual power is too crude,” Li Yao casually pulled the bowstring, “Now, state your choice, as I won’t show mercy with the next arrow.”

A trace of bitterness flashed through the Priest’s eyes, “I concede.”

Li Yao put away his bow and arrow and smiled, “A wise choice.”

“I’ll remember you. One day, I’ll definitely defeat you,” said the Priest before fainting outright, her physical body still too fragile…
