'It'd be best to calm down first . ' Tang Wulin did not try to contact her again . Since he had rejected her, he should not be the one to initiate contact . However, he genuinely wanted to remain as a friend to Long Yuxue . He admired her personality very much . She was a very kind and nice girl . He was unsure if Jiang Wuyue deserved her .
As the celebrity of the competition, Tang Wulin was the first to proceed to the next stage of the competition from his group . He entered the top sixteen of the soul masters' battles . However, for the mecha battles, things were not going as smoothly .
Every mecha master would need to possess excellent control skills for them to make it into the round-robin . However, during these difficult battles, Tang Wulin's skills were also improving continuously .
He had become accustomed to his own body after undergoing the hardship in both the different competitions . He was finally and slowly getting a grip of his own strength after having broken through the tenth Golden Dragon King's seal . He would need more time if he wanted to hone his newfound power to perfection .
Today was the final round for the mecha battles . Tang Wulin was already guaranteed a place in the next stage of the competition . In his battle today, he would be facing an opponent who had similarly obtained perfect victories in all the matches in another group . Hence, it would be a battle for the top position .
Tang Wulin's mecha wielded a spear and stood towering on the competition ground . Opposite him stood his opponent, Number Sixty-Eight . That number was very close to his own Sixty-Six . Surprisingly, his opponent also wielded a spear .
If it were not for the different numbers above their heads, they would have appeared as identical copies of each other on the competition ground .
The outcome of the match today would not affect their advancement to the final top sixteen . However, it would decide who their opponents would be in the upcoming matches .
The winner would be paired against the runner-up of another group in the final elimination rounds . Likewise, the runner-up of a group would be paired against the winner of another group . In a sense, this match was still significant .
For Tang Wulin, he was not concerned at all . He merely cherished the improvement each match brought him .
He had almost completed his preparations for building his black mecha . He had used the merit points he earned from helping others refine their metals to buy the various materials . Some of these materials were ordered via the army from Mingdu City . They would be transported to him in the next few days .
The deeper he delved into his mecha's controls, the greater his interest in mechas became . Now, he understood why Mu Ye would put in so much effort into building the mechas, so much so that Mu Ye had neglected his own battle armor's cultivation .
The improvement the mechas brought to soul masters were direct . Tang Wulin was able to control a standard mecha completely until he was able to execute many skills which could not be accomplished by the soul masters who used the mecha . Also, the mechas provided the best protection for the soul masters . This was the difference between a mecha and a battle armor .
A battle armor's enhancement was direct . It was more powerful and nimble as well . However, the battle armor itself needed a soul master's body as structural support . For the soul masters with lower cultivation bases, they had no way of supplying the amount of energy needed to power a battle armor . That was why they failed to be battle armor masters . However, the mechas were different . A powerful mecha, powered by the soul batteries and the mecha's interior core circuit, could strengthen the soul master's combat strength . Even if the soul master had no soul power left, he would still possess formidable combat strength just by operating his mecha .
Although the battle armors were powerful, the mechas still held advantages over the battle armors . Tang Wulin finally understood why Teacher Mu Ye had suggested that he should own a mecha .
A standard mecha was already powerful . Just how powerful would a black mecha be, especially one which was custom-made for him? In truth, even a red mecha could not be fully built from the Heavenly Refined materials . It was good enough for the core components to be made from such materials .
Tang Wulin was very confident of his own forging skills . He believed that he would be able to attain the rank of accomplishing the Heavenly Refinements in the future . When the time came, he would build himself a divine mecha on his own .
At the moment, he intended to build a super mecha with the most robust materials he could forge . He wanted to lay a firm foundation for the restoration of Shrek Academy in the future .
Simultaneously, he had conveyed his plan to his comrades by soul communication . He reminded them, especially Xu Lizhi, to put more effort into mastering the mechas . Xu Lizhi was a food-type Tool soul master . If he had better control over a mecha, it would be a great boost to his combat strength .
Everyone had enlisted with an army . Although they communicated less frequently with each other, they would still exchange their ideas and experiences every so often .
Tang Wulin was not the only one who was improving rapidly . After having so many experiences in Shrek Academy, his comrades were also developing rapidly . Everyone worked hard and put in their efforts with all their might .
Tang Wulin made a promise with his comrades . They promised not to rush themselves to break through the next rank . They would accumulate enough soul power so that they could harmonize their hundred-thousand-year spirit soul together to create a stupendous improvement collectively .
When the time came, they would truly be the Shrek Seven Monsters .
"Three, two, one . The match begins!"
Number Sixty-Eight swung his spear and swathes of spear shadows spread out before him like a fan . It was an etiquette before the battle commenced, at the same time, it was also to show Tang Wulin his level of control in the spearing techniques . It was a display of strength aimed at undermining Tang Wulin's confidence .
Tang Wulin's mecha Number Sixty-Six only raised the spear in its hand and waved it at his opponent three times . The phoenix had nodded three times . Tang Wulin returned the courtesy .
The two opponents seemed to have initiated a forward charge toward each other at the same time . They did not engage their thrusters, the way they charged forward was direct .
A faint gleam flickered in Tang Wulin's eyes . The stronger his opponent was, the stronger the battle fervor within him .
His spearing techniques had improved tremendously . He relied mostly on the technique of the Thousand Accusing Fingers . His opponent also wielded a spear . He hoped that he would be able to learn something from his opponent's spearing techniques . In fact, it was more important than defeating his opponent .
The distance between the two mechas was instantly reduced . When they were about to collide, his opponent suddenly stabbed with his spear . The spear's gleam flickered . His spear's gleam was an icy blue . When the spear's gleam flashed, Tang Wulin felt the temperature around his mecha drop instantly . Even the speed at which his mecha moved was affected .
A dense bloodline aura shot out from his body . It spread throughout his mecha . A layer of faint golden halo covered his standard mecha . The cold air was instantly blocked . At the same time, Tang Wulin flicked his spear upward in the direction of his opponent's spear .
"Swoosh!" Number Sixty-Eight's spear suddenly disappeared . However, the instant Tang Wulin's spear shot past, his spear reappeared instantly like a venomous dragon sticking out its tongue . His spear went straight for Tang Wulin's mecha's chest . In an instant, the spear's gleam flashed . The beams of the spear's gleam aimed for Tang Wulin's mecha's joints . It dazzled the eyes of the spectators . The speed at which he stabbed with his spear was clearly a cut above Tang Wulin's .
It was not a show of his control over the spear . Rather, it was the speed at which he controlled his mecha . His opponent's control over his own standard mecha was already the limit of what a mecha could endure .
Tang Wulin snorted . Currently, there seemed to be nowhere for him to dodge . However, his mecha's body swayed . The Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track .
The spear's gleam shot past his body . At the same time, Tang Wulin swung his spear savagely in a horizontal arc . There was no skill or finesse to it . It was simply a horizontal swipe . It brought an unprecedented aura which swept everything before it away .
