Chapter 357 : Taiyi's Discovery
"What?"
"This—"
"An Innate Martial Artist lashes out, and just like that, three Masters perished?"
Below the mountain, many martial arts masters watched this scene in shock.
Especially those grandmasters, they were usually very arrogant, their power could command respect from everyone, and they were treated with reverence by all major forces, they thought highly of themselves.
But now, they found themselves quite fragile.
Especially the Innate Martial Artist from the Sky Group who had just attacked. If such an expert were to strike at them... they could not imagine how many moves they could withstand. At that time, what difference would there be between them and ordinary martial artists?
Thinking this, their pride naturally dwindled.
"Lin Er, Lin San, Lin Si..."
By now, Lin Yun had woken up and was unable to suppress a gasp of shock at the scene before him.
Although Lin Er, Lin San, and Lin Si were robots, they had been with him for a long time. They behaved so much like real people that seeing this scene gave Lin Yun a terrible sensation.
Fortunately, due to the example set by Lin Tian, he had been remotely copying the memories of Lin Er, Lin San, and Lin Si to another device. As long as this device was intact, he could recreate their bodies at any time.
But… whether he could escape this time… was still unknown…
Lin Yun wryly laughed in his heart.
He had underestimated the Huaxia authorities and the Sky Group.
He didn't expect the Sky Group to have an Innate Realm expert.
This kind of classified information was not allowed to be archived. Thus, even though he could invade the core network of Huaxia, he could not retrieve this information.
Now, he had received a message from Lin Tian. He knew that the mental strength of Taiyi had reached level four. It was very likely that Taiyi possessed the power of a mid-term Innate Realm warrior, but Taiyi just wasn't using his full strength at the moment.
From the information on the Cosmic Trading System, Lin Yun knew that the strengths of the mid-term Innate Realm warriors far exceeded those at the initial stage of the Innate Realm.
An android with the strength of a mid-term Innate Realm martial artist required thirty thousand spirit crystals to purchase.
An android with the strength of an early-stage Innate Realm martial artist only cost ten thousand spirit crystals. This contrast was clear enough.
"Level four mental strength? You know my mental strength is at level four? Are you an American or a Soviet?" Just as he was thinking this, Taiyi looked at Lin Tian, his eyes narrowing.
"I don't know what you're talking about. I'm from Huaxia." Lin Tian watched Taiyi, responding coldly.
The identity Lin Yun set for him had always been of Huaxian origin.
During their conversation, the two seemed to have an unspoken agreement to cease fighting for a moment. Maybe they knew they couldn't beat each other in a short time, or maybe they each had their own concerns and thoughts.
"Huaxia? Who told you about the classification of mental powers?" First, Taiyi frowned, and then, with an arched eyebrow, asked.
As he finished speaking, a myriad of flashes suddenly filled Taiyi's eyes. Looking directly into Lin Tian's eyes, he declared decisively, "I've got it. I've always felt there was something odd about your mental strength. You're...not a real person, right?"
"I don't understand what you're talking about, and I don't want to waste time talking to you. If you want to keep me here, you have to go through me." Lin Tian maintained a calm expression, speaking coldly.
As he was talking, Lin Tian made a move toward Taiyi again.
Being a robot, he remained calm no matter what language the opponent used.
But Lin Yun was not a robot.
Not a real person?
When he heard Taiyi's words, Lin Yun's heart pounded in his chest. He had not expected Taiyi to say something like this.
Lin Tian was already a robot with the strength of an Initial Stage Innate Realm martial artist, which made him seem even more human than Lin Yi and others. According to the information from the Cosmic Trading System, it is difficult for ordinary Innate Realm martial artists to detect it.
Earth… had never possessed such technology. Even if people noticed the oddities about Lin Tian and his party, normal people wouldn't likely figure it out.
He never expected Taiyi to identify Lin Tian's identity so quickly and confidently.
Could it be, had Taiyi come across such robots before? Or even, a robot of this verification level?
For a moment, Lin Yun wondered so.
That was not impossible...
Lin Yun thought of the Super Energy Bomb used by the Sky Group and mentioned that the protection shield he used was a Super Energy Protection Shield. Based on Earth's technology, it should have been difficult to develop such equipment.
If the Huaxia authorities had seen this kind of robot and had contact with extraterrestrial technology, then it would be very normal to develop such equipment.
"It appears, my guess is correct. No wonder, a small persona suddenly came into possession of so many high-tech items and so many martial arts experts…" Taiyi twisted his head to look towards Lin Yun, slightly smiled, and spoke.
Lin Yun's emotions fluctuated. He sensed it.
Whether it was Taiyi's previous words or his current ones, whenever Taiyi spoke, he released an aura around him, making it impossible for their conversation to be overheard.
The news that Lin Tian, this Innate expert, was not a real person, was shocking!
Taiyi had encountered a similar situation decades ago when a battered spaceship landed on Earth. At first, it only landed in a small country, and the other countries were unaware.
Likewise, the power from the ruins of the spaceship began to expand, and only then was it discovered by the surrounding nations.
At that time, Huaxia had just been established and was not powerful enough to intervene. Although the small country was close to Huaxia, it was one of the first influential countries to discover it but was initially unable to resolve the matter and this affair gradually spread.
Afterwards, several nations' strongmen joined hands and eliminated all the forces in the wrecked spaceship.
During that process, they encountered such robots. Some robots were even as powerful as Lin Tian's, costing several powerhouse nations serious losses, and he barely escaped.
However, the gains were also huge. The countries involved experienced a significant leap in their technological abilities for a period of time.
Over the last few decades, Earth's technology developed at an unprecedented pace, significantly connected to that incident.
The grade divisions of mental strength; They also learned this information from the spaceship's wreckage.
At that time, the participating countries, Huaxia, the United States, and the Soviet Union represented the three largest representatives, and this was also the reason Taiyi initially suspected Lin Tian might have been an American or Soviet.
Unfortunately, Huaxia underwent internal turmoil for more than a decade, incurring a variety of losses. But with recent years back on track. The Soviet Union had possibly been stimulated by spaceship technology, engaging in an arms race with America, neglecting the lack of resources to support such high-level technology and then eventually fell apart.
America also felt the tremor and began attacking other nations aggressively. But soon tempered their approach, ultimately taking the lead globally.
Now, Huaxia's power has grown incomparably stronger.
The rediscovery of a robot like Lin Tian was extremely exciting for Taiyi.
Certainly, Lin Yun must have had access to similar extraterrestrial technology as decades ago, judging by Lin Yun's items for sale, this technology aligned greatly with, and even surpassed, Earth's existing technology.
If Huaxia uniquely obtained this technology, how swiftly would Huaxia's strengths grow?
With many people at the foot of the mountain, Taiyi naturally did not want them to know about this matter.
Listening to Taiyi's words, Lin Yun felt extremely conflicted.
The truth he had been trying to hide all along was finally uncovered.
At this moment, Lin Yun was certain that Huaxia had definitely accessed extraterrestrial technology in the past. Hence why they were able to guess as much. The question, however, was what level of extraterrestrial technology had Huaxia accessed?
It certainly was not the Cosmic Trading System...
Lin Yun thought to himself.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
If Huaxia had accessed the Cosmic Trading System, their development would have already skyrocketed.
It must have been just ordinary technology from a civilised planet. This kind of situation was very common among countless civilizations in the universe. After all, some civilizations, upon reaching a certain level of development, would naturally venture into the stars and discover other civilizations. This occurrence was normal.
