The Legend of the Dragon King - Chapter 1317

Chapter 1317

En Ci said, “Let’s look forward to it . We’ll see if this young man can really recreate a miracle . ”

Naturally, the principal of Monster Academy had what Dai Yueyan and the others sitting behind him had said . In truth, he was also eagerly waiting to see if Tang Wulin could bring about another miracle .

At that point, a pleasant baritone voice could be heard within the gymnasium .

“The Battle of Five Gods originated in ancient times . In that era, where champions were born in multitudes, only a true hero would propose a challenge such as the Battle of Five Gods . ”

With this commanding statement, the noisy gymnasium immediately quieted down .

They knew that the introduction to the Battle of Five Gods would ensue, so they listened in silence .

“The reason for the term “five gods” is the extreme nature of the matches . The challenger will participate in five matches on five separate days against his opponents . The challenged party cannot reject the challenge, otherwise, they will be scorned by everyone under the heavens . ”

“Without a doubt, the challenged party has a clear advantage in the Battle of Five Gods . They can send out different experts for each of the matches while the challenger can only fight on his own . The final victor will have the right to make one request . In ancient times, this request was usually a truce of one year or more . Ample time for a country to rest and recuperate its forces . It might even alter the situation of the entire nation . Hence, in such a contest as the Battle of Five Gods, the challenger is usually the country’s hero and spiritual pillar . If the hero succeeds, his name will live on for millennia . ”

“Now, at the request of the Tang Sect’s newly appointed Sect Master, we’ll mimic the ancient Battle of Five Gods and present a series of the most interesting matches you have ever seen . As one of the most important sects in the empire, the Tang Sect has always contributed greatly to the development of the empire . This Battle of Five Gods is being carried out so that the friendship between the Tang Sect and the empire will remain strong for ages to come . Let us all cheer for the Tang Sect’s newly appointed Sect Master . Make some noise for this Battle of Five Gods . No matter the outcome, I believe that this contest will be a series of unprecedented and outstanding matches . ”

The introduction was simple, with few complicated words or concepts included . Toward the end, the emcee even emphasized that this was a friendly match akin to a sparring session and gave high praise to the Tang Sect .

He could not use the Tang Sect like a tool . He would still make a show of conciliation when it was called for . In terms of diplomatic skills, the Star Luo Empire was indeed superior to the Dou Spirit Empire . Comparatively speaking, the Star Luo Empire was also firmer . It was not as dependent on the Tang Sect as the Dou Spirit Empire was .

“Today, the first round of the Battle of Five Gods will commence . It’s the mecha battle!”

“Mechas have long been the most important weapon to have been created by modern technology . Research into mechas was started by the famous ancestor of the Star Luo Empire, the Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao . He was the first person to propose such a magnificent idea and created the first ever mecha . Moreover, the Spirit Ice Douluo himself was a member of the Tang Sect’s Shrek Seven Monsters . Today’s mecha battle will surely be extremely interesting . ”

“The rules of the Battle of Five Gods’ mecha contest are as follows . The maximum mecha rank both sides are permitted to use is black . This rule was decided out of fairness . The Tang Sect’s Sect Master doesn’t own a divine mecha . If there’s a difference between the quality of mechas used by both sides, then we won’t be able to witness the true skills both opponents possess in controlling them . ”

“In the mecha battle, usage of spirit souls is not allowed . Anything else is permitted . The empire’s representative in the Battle of Five Gods’ mecha contest is the commander of the Imperial First Mecha Division which is also known as the Imperial Order of Knights, the imperial divine mecha master, known as “the pillar of the empire”, Commander Huang Zhengyang . He is said to be the most talented mecha master in the empire and has won many prestigious mecha competitions . Every step he has taken in achieving all this was thanks to his own efforts . He’s a Title Douluo-ranked expert . He deserves to be the empire’s representative and become one of the five gods in the Battle of Five Gods . ”

When the name Huang Zhengyang was announced, it immediately raised a chorus of cheers from the crowd . In the Star Luo Empire, this was a household name .

The pillar of the empire, Huang Zhengyang .

He did not give himself the title . This was the appraisal given by Emperor Dai Tianling after personally witnessing his powerful mecha piloting skills .

Huang Zhengyang liked mechas ever since he was a boy . His father was a famed mecha master . When he was only two years old, he had climbed into the mecha’s cockpit with his father . Throughout his life, it could be said that he spent more time in a mecha than in his own bed .

Mechas were like this second life, even more important than his own life .

He seemed to be naturally gifted in controlling mechas . That was how he was able to surpass every mecha master before him . When he was only twenty-three years old, he had become a rank-9 mecha master with a six-ringed cultivation base and was one of the candidates to be the royal family’s divine mecha master .

When he turned thirty-one and became a Title Douluo, he was officially confirmed . The empire bore the huge cost of building a divine mecha for him . He was now a major general and the commander of the empire’s most powerful mecha division . He was only forty-one years old, but he had already established his reputation in the army . He was also the deputy dean of Monster Academy’s mecha course .

In the Star Luo Empire, whenever mechas were brought up, the name Huang Zhengyang would be mentioned as well . It was evident just how highly regarded he was in the mecha field in the Star Luo Empire .

He would be the Tang Sect’s Sect Master Tang Wulin’s first opponent in the Battle of Five Gods .

On the platform, Dai Yueyan had been moved by the miracle mentioned by Yue Zhengyu and Xie Xie . When he heard the name Huang Zhengyang, he could not stop a smile from appearing on his face . He mumbled to himself, ” It seems that your captain can’t possibly win the first competition . ”

“Oh?” Yue Zhengyu looked at him . “You seem to be very confident in the first god, Your Highness . ”

Dai Yueyan said assuredly, “If you saw Huang Zhengyang controlling a mecha, you’d have confidence in him as well . Before he obtained the moniker pillar of the empire, he was known as the Despair Scythe . Almost all his opponents fell into despair when faced with his attacks . Let’s put it this way: his control of mechas is as natural as you soul masters controlling your own bodies . He might even be able to control the mechas at a more minuscule level . He can control every single toe of his mechas . He deserves to be called the great controlling master . ”

Yue Zhengyu and Xie Xie exchanged glances, “Then let us wait and see . ”

Tang Wulin had won the title of Mecha King in the Federal Star Dou Battle Network Challenge . In the mecha battles, he was even known as the Spear King .

In terms of controlling mecha, he was definitely not an amateur . Although his opponent sounded strong, it was unclear if he was better than Tang Wulin . It would only be seen after they started fighting .

The lighting in the entire gymnasium was dimmed, and only the floor of the central area was lit . The beaming spotlights shone down from above . The bleachers were dark, but the competition grounds were as bright as day .

The atmosphere warmed up at this very moment as well .

Although the emcee had asked the audience to applaud for the Tang Sect’s newly appointed Sect Master, the crowd’s cheers were all for the pillar of the empire .

“Hear that? Huang Zhengyang can be considered the people’s idol . He’s also extremely handsome and has remained unmarried to this day . He said this is because he has no time to get married . His goal is to become the first Limit Douluo-ranked divine mecha master,” Dai Yueyan said with pride .

Xie Xie raised an eyebrow . He said with a faint smile, “The audience the day before was also cheering like this . ”

Dai Yueyan’s voice stopped abruptly . He turned and glowered at Xie Xie .
