The Mech Touch novel Chapter 5497

Chapter 5497 Self-Evaluation

Regardless of how he accomplished his victory, it became an established fact that he had defeated a powerful mutated beast by relying on 'himself'.

The only external tool he made use of was the Oceancaller, and it hadn't even been necessary to employ it in the first place. If not for the fact that he wanted to test and exercise his water energy manipulation abilities, he could have ended the fight a lot sooner by powering up his attacks with Worclaw energy right from the start!

Ves gained a much better understanding of his personal combat system from this actual fight.

He lifted his fist and recalled the overflowing strength that he previously displayed.

The various powers and abilities he employed were already powerful by themselves.

The endowments of a phase lord boosted his defenses and mobility to a ridiculous height. Ves could directly compete against many mechs in this aspect.

His defenses were as good as a quasi-first-class mech, though they were still short of matching the performance of a genuine first-class multipurpose mech. He had been lucky that the Azure Tornado Dragon grew up on a planet without significant deposits of phasewater. If the mutated beast was able to make use of transphasic attack methods, then Ves would have suffered a lot more injuries during this fight!

His short-range mobility was incredibly good due to his ability to quickly and precisely teleport across modest distances. However, he was still unable to traverse longer distances unless he equipped himself with a modular flight system or other external tool. He knew that he would eventually be able to mitigate this problem as long as he advanced his phase lord cultivation and implanted a specialized organic warp drive organ in his true body.

His offensive means were a mess to be honest.

His water manipulation capabilities with the Oceancaller was not great when employed against a single powerhouse. Ves lacked enough practice and comprehension to launch pressurized jets at his opponents. However, he was much more confident in wiping out swarms of weaker opponents. The artifact flute excelled at building up massive waves of destruction as long as he was allowed to build up his attack.

Ves was not satisfied with his armed and unarmed combat techniques. He knew that any serious mech pilot or infantry soldier probably regarded him as a clown for fighting like an untrained amateur!

While Ves had spent enough time among all kinds of soldiers to roughly gauge how skilled they were, he lacked the training to execute all of those powerful and efficient moves himself!

Blinky actually helped quite a lot in this fight. Though he was just about to complete the second stage of his Imaginary Universe Method, his internal universe could accommodate a huge amount of E energy, far more than the Azure Tornado Dragon was able to harness in a whole day!

One of the reasons why Ves originally added energy devouring capabilities to his crucial companion spirit was because he wanted to turn the Star Cat into a nemesis of all qi cultivators!

How great would it be to confront a powerful qi cultivator in battle, only for Blinky to step forward and suck away all of the fancy spells and techniques employed by the enemy?

The fight against the Azure Tornado Dragon had been an opportunity for him to test this concept.

While the mutated beast could technically be classified as a natural cultivator, its ability to manipulate water energy had become sophisticated enough to turn this into a good representation of an actual fight against a qi cultivator.

Unfortunately, Ves was not satisfied with Blinky's performance.

The capacity of the Blinkyverse was expanding with every second that passed. Ves could stuff so much messy energies inside of it without needing to worry about causing it to burst for a very long time.

The real issue was that the throughput was too low!

"It's like trying to empty the fuel tanks of a battleship with a tiny straw."

The size of that 'straw' had not grown as quickly as everything else!

What was the point of developing a huge internal universe that could potentially become as large as the physical universe when the channel connecting the two only amounted to a small gate?

If Ves wanted to turn Blinky into a much more useful asset, then he had to find a way to massively boost the companion spirit's throughput!

"THIS IS A SHORTCOMING OF HIS CURRENT CULTIVATION METHOD." Ves concluded.

When he originally devised the Imaginary Universe Method, he paid far more attention to the properties of the Blinkyverse itself. This came at the cost of neglecting the importance of increasing Blinky's energy absorption speed! _{frёewebnoѵēl.com}

He wondered whether his mother already noticed this flaw, but deliberately left it unaddressed in order to teach him a lesson when she improved his cultivation method.

"THAT IS DEFINITELY THE CASE!"

He needed to fix this problem one way or another. Though Blinky's devouring rate had grown at a slow and steady rate as the companion spirit continued to age, this pattern was far too slow for his liking!

Blinky's devouring rate had to be at least 10 times higher in order to deprive the Azure Tornado Dragon of its powers!

Ves had been hoping to rely on Blinky to rob the mutated beast of all of its air energy. This would cause the dragon to lose the ability to amplify its lift force when it flapped its wings. There was no way the creature could remain aloft under those circumstances!

At least Ves became aware of this shortcoming early enough. There was plenty of time for him to remedy this issue.

In the end, Ves had to fall back on his Worclaw energy to finish this fight.

Though Ves had only channeled this special energy type for less than a minute, he had depleted a huge amount of it. This was evident from how extensively the Worclaw energy cycle inside his body had shrunk from his previous expenditures!
