The reason lies in the skyrocketing internal temperature.

Clan Leader Level Rock-Horned Horses can use abdominal blood water and several stomach sacs to cool down, but the Rock Horse Warriors driving them inside the Rock Horse Armor, in the continuous rising high temperature, apart from dehydration, may even be cooked alive and steamed to death.

After all, according to the materials record, the maximum internal temperature of the Rock Horse Armor can reach a staggering seventy to eighty degrees Celsius.

To increase the defense armor, the thickness of Tao Steel in Rock-Horned Horses can even reach over half a meter. They not only provide absolute defense but also isolate the internal and external temperature.

Ceramics themselves are materials with very slow thermal conductivity.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be used as bowls and pots for serving dishes.

With such evolutionary development, although it can isolate the heat from external scorching sunlight, the high temperature from the internal organs of the Rock-Horned Horse operating is also hard to release.

This is unlike the Desert Wolf.

Desert Wolves in the Enhancement Stage have Mutated Fine Steel Wolf Fangs and Wolf Claws to dissipate heat. By the Evolution Stage, their body with Fine Steel Wolf Hide and Alloy Wolf Bone can release the residual heat of high-speed metabolism well.

After all, there's no better heat conductive material than metal.

The pursuit of ultimate defense makes it impossible for the Rock-Horned Horse to burst out extreme power like the Desert Wolf for hunting or fighting.

The Grand Priest, seeing Lin Feng's serious expression, continued:

"In our Holy Hall, when dealing with Tier Two Rock Horse Warriors, knights often employ two strategies: one is a surprise attack with a lethal strike, forcing them into combat state instantly to expose flaws."

"The other is a high-intensity continuous battle, giving opponents in Rock Horse Armor no time to breathe, keeping them exhausted from maintaining high-intensity combat."

"This way, their state will quickly decline."

"If you can't force them into a desperate situation, you can't defeat and kill them because of the strong endurance and persistence of the Rock-Horned Horses."

"I suggest starting with speed. You should purchase multiple power armors from the Guild. Although only the most basic, combined with your basic strength, it is enough to evade the attacks of Rock Horse Warriors."

Lin Feng nodded, then looked toward another flaw:

"The Rock Horse Armor is too cumbersome. During use, it is difficult to improve the wearer's movement speed, and even has the drawback of dragging down, resulting in an average running speed of only a hundred kilometers per hour for Rock Horse Warriors."

"That's equivalent to thirty meters per second."

"But the instantaneous burst speed is very fast, able to instantly recover to a hundred meters per second. At such speed, combined with the weight of several tons of the body, akin to a shell, if hit, it's either death or serious injury."

"This speed can be utilized. Currently, my average moving speed can reach a hundred and fifty meters per second, sufficient to dodge its attacks."

The Grand Priest furrowed his brow slightly, reminding:

"Li Hao has been plotting this rebellion for power for a long time; he must have done corresponding modifications and preparations to his Rock Horse Armor."

"Level 25 Battle Armor will have its basic speed doubled to sixty meters per second. The instantaneous burst speed is also over a hundred and fifty meters, just slightly slower than you wearing power armor, so don't take it too lightly."

The Grand Priest seemed to think of something and changed the topic:

"But don't worry too much, Li Hao won't waste too many resources on you to win the final arena competition."

"Extreme burst state will not only cause a rapid increase in internal temperature of the Rock Horse Armor but also consume a lot of evolutionary cells of the armor. High temperature also damages the armor."

"So every burst is a consumption of source material. After a battle, for Rock Horse Armor to recover quickly, besides providing corresponding energy, it also needs to absorb a share of twenty-level Rock-Horned Horse Life Source Material."

"Equivalent to being like the biological armor's battery."

As the Grand Priest introduced, Lin Feng also saw the corresponding explanation in the report in his hand.

It turns out the cost of using Rock Horse Armor is so high. Lin Feng squinted his eyes slightly and nodded in thanks:

"Thank you, Priest, this information is very important."

After detailing each matter regarding the duel, the Grand Priest left one last sentence:

"Lord Bishop hopes Leader Lin can, while ensuring his own safety, consume as much of the opponent's state as possible; it would be best to probe out one or two trump cards."

"However, the premise is not to be affected yourself. As long as your state is intact, the rebel army will not dare act rashly."

Lin Feng nodded, then saw the Grand Priest off.

Watching him leave the convoy and disappear into Holy Spring Village in the blink of an eye, Lin Feng looked up to the Oasis Battleship to the left, contemplating countermeasures.

The Church sent this information and reminders, not only hoping to ensure his safety but also hoping to rely on this duel to probe into Li Hao's strengths and weaknesses in advance.

And the latter was more so.

After all, in the highest meeting of the Oasis, Lin Feng accepted Li Hao's invitation with confidence that in everyone's eyes, he must be very sure about the duel.

Adding this information would make him even more composed.

But after flipping through these materials, Lin Feng didn't feel at ease but instead had a clearer and more direct sense of the enemy's strength.

A Level 20 Rock Horse Armor already has an approximate defense value of three hundred points, so a Level 25 would have a defense value of at least eight hundred points, equivalent to Tier Two Late Stage defense effect.

The two Level 22 Cannons in his hand, not to mention the High-Explosive Rapid-Fire Cannon, couldn't cause any destructive effect; only the Armor-Piercing Cannon could be tested.

But a Level 22 Armor-Piercing Cannon has only a base damage of three hundred, plus the additional effect of Wolf Fang Armor-Piercing Shell, adding one hundred extra damage, totaling four hundred points.

Enough to cause damage to Tier Two Late-Stage Evolvers.

But to face the defense ability comparable to a Tier Two Late Stage Rock Horse Armor, it's still far from sufficient.

Can only hope for another effect of Wolf Fang Armor-Piercing Shell, an armor-piercing ability enhancement of 100%.

Lin Feng does not expect to penetrate the Rock Horse Armor directly, just hoping to break through at least one layer, even if only a few centimeters.

This way, the tactic of "dripping water carves stone" can be used, slowly grinding down the opponent's defensive armor.

Otherwise, he can only rely on speed advantage and the high-performance movement mode of the armor to distance himself from the opponent, being passively evasive all the time.

Although this can also deplete the opponent's state, Lin Feng is more eager to counterattack.

After all, with his current strength, even without using the assembly synthesis ultimate move, he can easily suppress early-stage evolvers in the same tier and rival Tier Two Late Stage.

Facing such a strong enemy like Li Hao, even slightly injuring the opponent would be enough to demonstrate his reputation and strength, intimidating others.

After sending off the Grand Priest, Lin Feng immediately called in his key members to ask for their opinions.

Ma Chenfeng had also seen the duel of Tier Two Evolvers and could provide reference.

Among others, only Ding Yi could help with data analysis, assist Ah Ming, and formulate battle strategies for Lin Feng.

All these were input into the system of the power armor he used. Although not of much use, there was at least some basis in actual combat.

However, what Lin Feng did not expect was that at lunch, when the Vice President of the Fifth Village Guild, Xu Wanshuang, came to notify the location and time of the arena duel...

He brought something extremely precious to Lin Feng.

Xu Wanshuang, slightly apologetic, said:

"My sister was unaware of Patriarch Li's duel proposal before the meeting. She is fully prepared for this competition and will surely not let Leader Lin encounter any accidents."

"I hope Leader Lin can be more forgiving."

"This is compensation specially ordered by my sister to be brought to you..."

Saying this, Xu Wanshuang presented a black metallic object the size of a palm, with the words 'Combat Data' written on it.

"This is a Tier Two Combat Assistant Module, which can be mounted on universal power armor. It contains a vast amount of combat mode data from Tier Two Evolvers, compiled from scans of over ten thousand battles fought by Tier Two powerhouses."

"With this, you can transform into an experienced Tier Two Warrior using the auxiliary combat mode after wearing the power armor."

"Even though there is a significant gap in Evolution Level and strength compared to Patriarch Li, your opponent is a Rock Horse Warrior, slightly slower than you in speed."

"With the help of the Tier Two Combat Data Module, it should be enough to evade his attacks three times."
