"Buzz——"

A minute later, a man clad in black appeared in Lin Yun's transaction space.

Whoosh——

With a wave of Lin Yun's hand, he released him.

"From now on, you'll be known as Lin Yu!" Lin Yun, gazing at the man clad in black in front of him, said with a slight smile.

Lin Yun didn't incorporate the memory chips of the fallen Lin Er, Lin San, and Lin Si into the black-clad man's memory chip because of Lin Yun's minor obsession.

Lin Yi's strength only reached the Mid Term Realm of the Golden Core. If Lin Er's strength reached the Domain Realm, it felt a bit awkward to him.

Hence, Lin Yun decided to give them a new set of names.

The universe was vast and ancient, which was the set of names that Lin Yun originally intended to use; Lin Yu, Lin Zhou, Lin Hong, Lin Huang.

Lin Yun had decided, if he were to purchase three more robots possessing the strength of Domain Realm Martial Artists in the future, he would use the last three names.

"Thank you, Master, for gracing me with a name!" Lin Yu bowed his hand in salute, giving a slight smile as he spoke.

As a robot with the strength of a Domain-level fighter, his intelligence far surpassed that of Lin Tian and Lin Yi, who possessed the strength of Golden Core martial artists.

Then, Lin Yun had Lin Yu demonstrate his power. Initially, Lin Yun planned to take Lin Yu out and showcase his power later.

However, the next moment, the display from Lin Yu took him by surprise.

They saw Lin Yu emitting a ripple of fluctuation, and the seawater surrounding their vehicle began to recede rapidly. In no time, a hollow zone with a radius of about a kilometer formed around them.

Understandably, this location was at the bottom of the sea, eight to nine thousand meters deep, the pressure here was tremendous. Even Lin Yun's vehicle, a product of a Fourth-level civilization, could only gradually withstand this pressure, with no ability to push aside so much seawater. The required strength was truly frightening.

Lin Yun estimated even an Innate Peak martial artist would not be able to move this deep in the sea without equipment, let alone push aside so much seawater.

However, what shocked Lin Yun most was observing that the moment this hollow zone formed, dragons and large tigers, condensed from seawater and resembling those in the Huaxia's lore, appeared.

"Roar——"

The various dragons and tigers flitted and swooped in mid-air at such dazzling speeds that they seemed to teleport, making deafening roars, making them seem as real as actual dragons and huge tigers.

Lin Yun's vehicle continuously probed the movements and roars of these dragons and tigers and fed back the data.

Soon, Lin Yun found out that the strength of these "dragons" and "tigers" was not weak at all. It was equivalent to the early stage of a Huajin martial artist, which made Lin Yun gasp. Had Lin Yu just "created" so many Martial Arts Grandmasters?

"Lin Yu, these water dragons and water tigers…" As he wondered, Lin Yun immediately asked.

Soon, Lin Yun discovered these water dragons and water tigers were indeed "created" by Lin Yu. Moreover, as long as there was enough energy and time, Lin Yu could create many more until the space was filled.

A radius of a kilometer was the range of Lin Yu's "Domain."

The water dragons and water tigers were superficial images. The real power was Lin Yu's "Domain." There was seawater in the vicinity, so Lin Yu casually created a batch of water dragons and water tigers.

If there were no seawater around, only soil or stone, he could create earth dragons, earth tigers, stone dragons, stone tigers, or even produce images of human martial artists, and so on.

If there was nothing around, Lin Yu could directly use the air to condense images of dragons, tigers or other creatures to confront the enemy, or simply cover the area with spatial pressure.

In summary, the "Domain" released by Lin Yu was the fundamental force, regardless of what form it took.

However, turning the energy into images had a unique function. Sometimes, it could better confront the enemy or save energy.

"Against a formidable opponent, this method will not be very effective..." In the end, Lin Yu said with a grin.

"Understood." Lin Yun nodded slightly, signifying his understanding.

He had just begun to witness this scene, and could not help but feel somewhat shocked, but soon, he understood. The strength of a Martial Arts Grandmaster was indeed powerful, but that was so in relation to ordinary people and common Martial Artists.

Compared to the Innate strong ones, the Martial Arts Grandmaster's strength was not much.

Relative to those possessing the Golden Core, a Martial Arts Grandmaster was an existence that could be easily obliterated.

What about compared to those in the Domain Realm?

Lin Yun estimated that, to such individuals, a Martial Arts Grandmaster was as insignificant as an ant. If Lin Yu were to face an enemy of this realm, these water dragon and water tiger like existences would not be of much use.

However, the display of Lin Yu's true strength still awed Lin Yun.

With Lin Yu's continuous display, Lin Yun soon realized that Lin Yu could teleport up to ten thousand meters each time, and he could teleport more than fifty times per second, a frequency and distance which was incredibly terrifying.

However, such teleportation consumed vast amounts of energy, and would not be used in common situations. But if it was just for flight, the consumption was not that much. They all carried devices that absorbed the surrounding energy from the atmosphere and converted it into energy, which could offset a lot of the depletion.

All this information was meant to mentally prepare Lin Yun.

This is what Lin Yu had explained.

"Every minute of teleportation consumes the energy of tens of thousands of Spirit Crystals, and if you engage in other types of combat, the energy consumption will increase..."

Lin Yun took a deep breath.

No wonder it was a product of a level six civilization and a robot with the strength of a Martial Artist in the Domain Realm, this consumption was indeed quite significant.

Based on these data, after a prolonged battle, it was likely that the energy consumption would be equivalent to the Spirit Crystals of a same-level robot.

Lin Yun thought.

This was not impossible, a minute of teleportation consumes tens of thousands of Spirit Crystals' energy, and if coupled with other forms of combat, it would consume two to three tens of thousands of Spirit Crystals' energy, which was quite normal.

So, ten minutes would consume two to three hundred thousand Spirit Crystals' energy?

A half-hour would consume close to a million Spirit Crystals' energy?

At first, Lin Yun had trouble wrapping his head around this kind of consumption, but upon closer analysis, he understood.

Many things are like this. Just take ordinary items on Earth, for instance. In the early days, some people would say that they could afford a mobile phone but not the bills, or buy an air conditioner but not afford the electric charges. Later, some people said they could afford to buy a car but not afford the various expenses, etc.

The consumption of weapons is even more evident. How much does a gun cost? How much does a bullet cost? How much would half an hour worth of bullets cost for a handgun?

A very expensive missile costs hundreds of thousands, and the launch device? How much would half an hour's worth of missile launches cost?

Looking at it this way, it makes sense.

In that regard, it was quite reasonable that a half hour of all-out combat would consume nearly a million Spirit Crystals' worth of energy.

A robot with the strength of a Martial Artist in the Domain Realm, a half hour of full-out combat, could make a decisive impact.

What's more, this robot could continuously absorb external energy to replenish its energy. If it was low consumption, Lin Yun wouldn't need to provide much energy.

However, for now, he still needed to fully charge the robot's energy. Otherwise, if an accident occurred and he needed to purchase energy, there might not be enough time.

This super-powered energy was not consistent, the product level used determined the level of energy consumption. This robot was a product of the technology of a level six civilization. So, Lin Yun needed to buy energy blocks of a level six civilization.

This energy was extremely expensive. Naturally, it contained a great deal of energy. This was why Lin Yu could display such formidable strength.

To fully charge the energy blocks, it would require purchasing thirty thousand Spirit Crystals. Although Lin Yu had space equipment on him, he couldn't put some energy blocks into the spatial equipment and take them out for replenishment. This was a technological issue. At least, the technology of this civilization level could not solve it.

Now, Lin Yun only had a few tens of thousands of Spirit Crystals left and naturally could not fully charge the robot.

However, the energy purchased with these few tens of thousands of Spirit Crystals could still be used for the time being.
