False Court
Chapter 1123 Challenge
They saw an old man walking over while coughing.
Su Mo's mood improved greatly upon seeing the old man. He said to him, "Old man, you're finally willing to show your face. I thought you had forgotten about me."
The old man looked at his subordinates, all bruised and battered, and said to Su Mo in a hoarse voice, "It seems you've recovered well."
"Of course. I feel full of power now."
Su Mo cracked his knuckles, sounding like popping beans, and said confidently.
"It's good to be confident, but remember, there are many strong people in this world, many stronger than you."
The old man raised a silk handkerchief to his mouth, coughing as he spoke.
Hearing the old man's words, Su Mo naturally agreed in his heart, but then he changed his mind and said,
"Excessive modesty is hypocrisy."
"Oh? It seems you're not just normally confident. How about this? You can pick any one of the people behind me to fight."
The old man snapped his fingers.
Six experts wearing V-generation colony armor, each with different appearances and exuding formidable auras, walked out from behind him.
From their fierce eyes, one could tell that each of them was a ruthless character whose hands were stained with blood.
"Uh... they all seem pretty abnormal. Looks like I was bragging a bit too much."
Su Mo said with a stiff smile.
"What? Are you scared?"
The old man said hoarsely.
"How could I be? How about this, I choose you. You should be the weakest one here, right?"
Su Mo grinned and pointed at the old man, his face full of contempt.
Of course, this was just an act. Su Mo wouldn't be foolish enough to think the old man was easy to bully. He just wanted to take this opportunity to spar with the old man,
to see just how strong this guy really was. That's why he was deliberately provoking him.
Hearing that Su Mo wanted to fight the old man one-on-one, many of the thugs present burst into mocking laughter.
"Haha!"
"Truly overestimating himself."
...
However, some people didn't laugh, like Ke Lei and the others, but their expressions became even more unfriendly.
The old man coughed and said,
"It's been many years since I've fought anyone. Since you've asked, I'll grant your wish."
"Good, but if you can't hold on, you have to say so in advance! If I accidentally injure you, don't ask me for medical expenses."
Su Mo wore an expression of certainty.
"Wait until you win."
The old man replied without a trace of emotion, and then slowly walked onto the arena.
Watching the old man walk onto the arena, Su Mo inexplicably felt immense pressure. It was a feeling he had never experienced before, as if what was walking towards him wasn't a person, but a ferocious beast.
The Artificial Creator·Devourer said in a low voice, "Were you kicked in the head by a donkey? You could have chosen anyone else here to fight, but you had to choose the old man."
"I did it on purpose."
Su Mo replied directly to the Artificial Creator·Devourer.
"May you have good fortune."
The Artificial Creator·Devourer replied in a low voice.
After hearing the Artificial Creator·Devourer's words, Su Mo felt a little short of breath, as if he was being pressed down by an invisible mountain.
The old man walked up to Su Mo and said in a hoarse voice,
"Put on your colony armor."
"Uh? What did you say? Are you kidding me?"
Su Mo was stunned. Put on his colony armor?
"I'm not kidding."
The old man coughed a few times and said.
Su Mo's expression changed several times, but in the end, he activated the V-generation colony armor·Sin Abyss Light, covering his body completely.
He said to the old man, "Think carefully. If I put on my V-generation colony armor, I can even fight a third-generation mecha. Are you sure you don't want to wear your colony armor?"
"No need, come on."
The old man replied hoarsely.
Su Mo was extremely shocked. His originally calm heart began to rise and fall uncontrollably.
He tried his best to suppress his shock, and then charged forward, throwing a punch at the old man.
The terrifying fist was as fierce as a cannonball.
However, the old man stood still, not moving an inch, and simply raised his left hand.
Bang!
He caught Su Mo's fist firmly.
"This?"
Su Mo's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. What kind of power was this? Could a human really possess it?
Before Su Mo could react,
the old man raised his right hand like a phantom and punched Su Mo in the chest.
The colony armor on Su Mo's chest instantly caved in.
In an instant, Su Mo felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He flew out and slammed into the energy shield of the metal arena. The entire energy shield quickly distorted, almost breaking apart, before he fell heavily to the ground.
Bang!
The intense pain almost made Su Mo pass out.
He struggled to get up, while the old man remained motionless in place.
Seeing this scene, Su Mo was completely stunned.
"This..."
The Artificial Creator·Devourer's deep voice sounded, saying to Su Mo, "I told you not to court suffering. The old man is already beyond the scope of normal people. If you weren't wearing colony armor, that hit just now would have killed you."
"If I don't try, how would I know how terrifying he really is?"
Su Mo suppressed the shock in his heart and replied to the Artificial Creator·Devourer.
The old man walked up to Su Mo and said hoarsely, "Too weak."
Su Mo said with an unyielding expression, "I admit that I can't beat you in single combat, but that's mostly because my body is being completely crushed. If it were a mecha battle, that would be different. I've never been afraid of anyone when it comes to technical skills!"
"Haha, that kid wants to challenge the Lord to a mecha battle."
Hearing Su Mo's words, many of the thugs present revealed mocking expressions.
"You're not convinced?"
The old man looked at Su Mo and replied.
"I'm not convinced."
Su Mo replied very firmly. In fact, he was convinced in his heart.
However, Su Mo just wanted to take this opportunity to completely understand the old man's strength.
"Alright, I'll give you a chance."
The old man replied in a low voice.
Hearing the old man agree, Su Mo was also delighted. This was a rare opportunity.
Even if he really couldn't beat the old man, with his talent and memory, he could record the other party's operating skills in full.
He could learn some valuable techniques and become stronger.
Soon, two mechas were brought over. One was a pure mechanical V-generation standard mecha·Slaughterer, and the other was an IV-generation bio-mecha·Dark Knight.
Su Mo frowned as he looked at the two mechas.
He had operated both of these mechas before and knew their performance and the gap between them very well. They were not on the same level at all.
One was just a relatively excellent bio-mecha among the fourth generation, but it wasn't a top-tier fourth generation. The other was a genuine fifth-generation excellent mecha. They were worlds apart. Whether he could even break through its defenses was a question.
"You want to fight me with an IV-generation mecha?"
Su Mo felt slighted for the first time. Suppressing his frustration, he asked.
"That's right."
The old man replied calmly.
Su Mo's expression changed constantly, as if he was pondering something.
The Artificial Creator·Devourer said to Su Mo, "Have you thought it through? Are you sure you can withstand the blow of defeat? If you can't, it's best to just forget it."
"It's fine."
Su Mo replied to the Artificial Creator·Devourer.
Then, Su Mo solemnly bowed to the old man.
"Please, give me your guidance!"
Thus, Su Mo climbed into the V-generation pure mechanical standard mecha·Slaughterer without hesitation.
The old man also did not hesitate and entered the IV-generation bio-mecha·Dark Knight.
