Chapter 337 - 337 Test of Agility, Excellent Score!
337 Test of Agility, Excellent Score!
Even if Lone Wolf could barely make it to the ninth level, he probably would not be able to hold on for long.
Despite that, he was already satisfied. After all, he could not even break through the seventh level before.
Besides, after all these tests, he had become more compatible with the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear, so much so that he had almost forgotten the fact that he was missing a leg.
Whether it was running, dodging, or performing all kinds of difficult movements, he did not feel any discomfort in his broken leg. The gear was also extremely comfortable, which was a huge contrast to its heavy appearance.
It completely exceeded his expectations.
Looking at the firing tubes in the area that were about to be activated at any time, Lone Wolf stood straight in place, his eyes full of determination.
The entire test field was filled with a tense atmosphere.
Time seemed to stop at this moment, but the silence was only temporary. Before he could even take his breath, countless black balls in the area suddenly shot out like a heavy downpour.
Whoosh… Bang!
The sound of the iron ball hitting the wall around the test area was like a pearl falling on a jade plate, creating a crackling sound.
At the same time, Lone Wolf’s body flashed. The jetpack on his back was activated, and his whole body rose into the air!
Then, like a fallen leaf, he flipped and landed on the ground, dodging a large number of attacks.
However, it was far more difficult to avoid the iron balls on the ninth level than that. Before he could stand still, he heard the sound of wind breaking near his head, shoulders, and back. If he had been dazed for even 0.2 seconds, those iron balls would have instantly hit him, staining his body with magnesium powder!
Lone Wolf took a deep breath and pounced forward like a fish. The next moment, two small iron balls whizzed past his ears. The ear-piercing sound of wind breaking constantly affected his tense nerves.
Without any extra time to react, he rolled on the ground, then turned around and stared at the wall. Like a fish, he swam to the other side and narrowly avoided them.
Yet, the subsequent iron balls seemed to have eyes, forming an airtight net from top to bottom, almost blocking all of his escape routes.
At this critical moment, Lone Wolf did not have the time to think. Under such a terrifying onslaught, if he used the donkey roll move again, he would have a few white marks on his body when he got up.
Right then, he gritted his teeth and poured all of his spirit power into his legs at the cost of almost exhausting his entire strength. He took a gamble on escaping the inescapable net before the attack arrived.
At this moment, the audience standing outside the test field could only see Lone Wolf’s body in the form of a light stream. He was so fast that it was almost impossible for the naked eye to lock onto him.
The girl in front of the obstacle course widened her eyes and stood rooted to the ground.
Whoosh… Dong!
Countless iron balls fell to the ground, and the force simultaneously generated almost made the ground tremble.
A moment after the loud noise, a series of beeping sounds rang out from the instrument.
Immediately after, all the gun barrels that were constantly firing in the test area stopped working, and the iron balls piled up in the corner were reloaded.
“Beep… The obstacle avoidance test is complete. You have reached Level 9.
“User’s physical fitness score in the agility test is excellent!”
The testing instrument’s electronic voice reverberated in the air above the test field.
Lone Wolf looked around in a daze. Then, he thought of something and immediately began to check his body.
After a short while, he found two white magnesium powder marks on the exoskeleton armor that wrapped around his ribs.
“Even with this, I still couldn’t dodge them?” Lone Wolf said in a helpless tone as he smiled bitterly.
With heavy steps, Lone Wolf walked out of the obstacle test area.
Outside the test field, the others looked at him with admiration and disbelief.
Looking at their burning eyes, Lone Wolf scratched his head bashfully.
“Wu Mo, I didn’t embarrass you in the test, did I?”
Wu Mo looked at Lone Wolf’s slightly reserved expression. There was no trace of the calm and confident disposition he had during the test.
Looking at the scene before him, Wu Mo subconsciously laughed.
“Not only did you not embarrass me, but you even made me proud. Hurry over here and get some rest.”
Wu Mo walked forward and patted Lone Wolf’s shoulder as he chuckled.
“That’s great!”
Lone Wolf nodded heavily and hurried toward the rest area at the side.
He was met with thunderous applause when the people on the outside saw how exhausted he looked.
Lone Wolf’s test provided the military with detailed video information. On top of that, he was the first user to test the exoskeleton armor’s stats.
His contribution was also worthy of praise.
“Lord Lone Wolf, please rest for a moment. We will continue testing your explosive power, jump force, step index, and so on. We will need your full cooperation.”
The staff member who had helped with the test earlier quickly walked over to Lone Wolf. After handing him a bottle of water, she gave him a warm reminder.
“No problem,” he said and nodded.
Then, he unscrewed the bottle and took small sips.
Although he was incredibly tired, he felt very excited when he thought about the opportunity to continue testing the gear.
After experiencing a life with all four limbs, he was reluctant to take it off.
He knew that its subsequent mass production would definitely take some time.
The exoskeleton armor he was wearing would most likely be handed over to the military for further research after the test. He would not be able to use it on the daily.
However, he had already survived four months of darkness. To have the hope of returning to the battlefield, it would not hurt to wait a little longer.
During the break, Lone Wolf and Wu Mo talked about the control and knowledge related to the Three-dimensional Maneuver Gear.
Although Lone Wolf was completely clueless about the field of forging, Wu Mo could always break things down and use simple metaphors to help him understand the principles behind it.
Lone Wolf clapped his hands and praised Wu Mo’s creativity several times. He was not only impressed by Wu Mo’s wild imagination but also by his determination to focus and turn his theories into reality.
As Lone Wolf rested, he also ate something to replenish his strength.
Meanwhile, Elder Huang and the deputy director, Cao Jianzhong, went out a few times. They seemed to be contacting their superiors.
As for the researchers, even though their legs were sore from standing, they dared not take a step out.
They were afraid that without Elder Huang’s verbal order, they would not be able to come back in.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, an hour had passed.
With an hour’s rest and relaxation, coupled with the nourishment of the spirit power in his body, Lone Wolf had recovered most of his physical strength. The original muscle soreness he felt had disappeared.
He did not dally and chose to start the second half of the test immediately.
