Douluo: Dragon King's Star Devouring Wings

Chapter 560 Picnic Captain Xiaotianxing

Two beams of intense light appeared on either side of the stadium, each leaving a halo with a diameter of ten meters on the ground.

Within those two halos, two girls gazed at each other under the light.

Although Mu Xue is already in her thirties, she looks very young, no different from someone in their twenties.

Her long, jet-black hair cascaded down to her calves, and her large, dark eyes sparkled with a lively light. She was tall and had healthy, tanned skin.

Mu Xue's martial soul is the same as Mu Tian's, which is herself. However, Mu Xue's muscles are not bulging, but rather concealed within her body, making her look like a young girl who exercises regularly.

Mu Xue was wearing a dark yellow shirt with a knot at the bottom, revealing her flat and smooth abdomen.

She wore only black shorts on her lower body, her smooth, jade-like thighs completely exposed.

Mu Xue's appearance wasn't particularly outstanding, but she possessed a unique heroic spirit.

Mu Xue wasn't wearing the special combat suit that she wore when piloting a mecha, which shows her confidence in her own abilities.

But when Mu Xue looked at Qian Gu Huang Yu, she was stunned. Qian Gu Huang Yu was not wearing a mecha pilot suit today either.

Qian Gu Huang Yu wore a white shirt, but the loose clothing could not hide her proud fullness.

She wore a black short skirt, sheer black stockings that covered her round, fair thighs, and black leather knee-high boots that encased her slender, beautiful legs.

This was also thanks to Qian Gu Huang Yu's profound cultivation, and the fact that King Ghidorah did not have any parasites on his body.

Otherwise, the combination of black stockings and knee-high boots might create a unique, girlish vibe.

In addition, Qian Gu Huang Yu also wore a black jacket, which added a touch of neatness to her look.

[It seems she's quite confident in her mecha piloting skills!] Mu Xue looked at Qian Gu Huang Yu, feeling no pressure at all, but rather eager to try.

True strength is never afraid of challenges from another strong person.

In fact, Qian Gu Huang Yu had considered wearing a pilot suit, but the pilot suit in the Douluo Region had a rather unique design, looking like a bodysuit.

Therefore, Gu Yuena ruthlessly rejected the proposal and ordered Qian Gu Huang Yu to wear the pilot's suit only in front of her from now on.

"Now, please bring out your mechs," the host's voice rang out again.

Mu Xue did not hesitate. Her storage ring lit up, and a crimson mecha immediately appeared.

Mu Xue's mecha is very special. It looks like a centaur. Its upper body is extremely strong, its arm muscles are clearly defined, and the metal plates on the surface are like layers of scales, shimmering with a cold luster under the light.

The lower body is in centaur form, with four mechanical beast legs firmly supporting the entire machine. The leg joints are flexible yet sturdy, and the outer crimson armor is covered with mysterious patterns.

The mech's head is an irregular rhombus shape, with a pair of animal-ear-like sensors on top that constantly rotate to collect information about its surroundings. The single eye on its face flashes a scarlet light, like a gaze from the abyss, revealing a chilling killing intent.

In its hand was a huge axe, the handle of which was longer than the mecha itself. The massive axe blade was crescent-shaped, broad and sharp, with edges that gleamed with a chilling light. The serrations on the blade resembled the fangs of a wild beast, sending shivers down one's spine.

"War Trample, that's the name of my mecha," Mu Xue said to Qian Gu Huang Yu.

At this moment, Yue Hongchen's heart was in her throat. If Qian Gu Huang Yu really said, "I don't have a mecha," then her career as the tower master would be over!
Qian Gu Huang Yu smiled calmly, and a huge golden light gate suddenly appeared behind her, from which an incomparably magnificent golden spaceship emerged.

Its overall structure is made of massive gold, resembling a flying golden palace. Its shape features smooth and ornate lines, and its surface is engraved with exquisite and mysterious runes and patterns.

The wings are wide and have a graceful arc, with golden flames seemingly flickering at the edges, like a magnificent trail it leaves in the sky.

The fuselage is decorated with numerous spires and tower-like structures, displaying unparalleled majesty and solemnity, as if it were a divine artifact that has traveled from the age of mythology, towering above the mortal world, exuding an awe-inspiring kingly aura and extraordinary divine radiance.

It is the Movina, known as the Radiant Ship, which is among the treasures of the King!

While the Phoenix Feather of the Ages may not possess a mecha, she does have the Royal Treasury! Given the technological level of the Douluo Continent, there simply cannot be a mecha more powerful than the Movina.

Movina instantly attracted the attention of the entire audience, and screams and cheers rose and fell.

"Will there really be such a mecha?" one audience member exclaimed. The reason was simple: the design of the Movina was just too different from other mechas.

"So gorgeous."

Gu Yuena was also stunned for a moment. She naturally recognized that it was the spaceship that she and Qian Gu Huang Yu had used when they faced the Dragon Lord.

Qian Gu Huang Yu didn't say anything more. She teleported directly into Movina's cabin. Only she knew that Movina was not a mecha at all.

Qian Gu Huang Yu took out another dark purple gear-shaped part from the King's Treasury and pressed it directly into the core of Movina.

The next instant, Movina began to tremble, and then, to the astonishment of the audience, Movina began to transform.

During the transformation, the surrounding air seemed to be swirled into a vortex. Dust was swept into the air by the powerful airflow, forming a hazy mist, adding to the mystery and awe.

In the blink of an eye, Movina transformed from a spaceship into a giant golden robot.

"How come this looks so much like Megatron from Transformers?" Qian Gu Huang Yu couldn't help but complain.

"My mecha is named Howling Star." In the end, Qian Gu Huang Yu decided to name the current Movina after a picnic team leader.

Yue Hongchen stared in surprise at Xiaotianxing in the center of the arena. [Junior Sister actually had such a powerful mecha hidden away?]

It's no wonder Yue Hongchen was surprised; soul-guided aircraft were only recently invented in the Federation, and currently only the Central Legion and the Sea God Legion are equipped with them.

If Yue Hongchen's teacher hadn't been Beigong Li, who was the Minister of the Military Department, she wouldn't even have had the opportunity to research soul-guided aircraft.

However, the mecha in front of them was far more advanced than the Federation's soul-guided aircraft.

On the platform, Dai Lingxun was also stunned by this move. [The Star Luo Empire definitely doesn't possess such advanced compression technology.]

"Palace Master Chen, I wonder if the Tang Clan's mecha manufacturing technology can create such a mecha?" Dai Lingxun asked Chen Yi.

Chen Yi shook her head and transmitted her voice, "No, the soul-guided aircraft is a secret of the Federation, not to mention that it can switch between itself and a mecha."

Chen Yi transmitted her voice to Dai Lingxun, "Compared to mecha, soul-guided aircraft are faster, but because they don't have hands, they are not flexible enough."

"Mechs and soul-guided aircraft each have their advantages and disadvantages, but this is the first time I've seen a combination of soul-guided aircraft and mechs."

Upon hearing this, Dai Lingxun couldn't help but frown. In her view, the Tang Sect should have been one of the most advanced forces in soul guidance technology, even surpassing the Sun Moon Federation in some aspects. However, the current situation was that the Spirit Pagoda's technology had quietly surpassed that of the Tang Sect.

This forced Dai Lingxun to reassess the strength of the Sun Moon Federation and whether or not to cooperate with the Spirit Pagoda.

As a staunch and seasoned counter-revolutionary fighter of the feudal aristocracy, Dai Lingxun held ample respect for the unknown while also possessing her own judgment.

This is also why she became the Empress of the Empire at the young age of nineteen and has held power ever since.

"Your Majesty, Qian Gu Huang Yu's grandmother is the number one Soul Master in the Sun Moon Federation. It's highly unlikely that her items will appear in the Federation's army," Ning Qinglan quickly transmitted to Dai Lingxun upon seeing this.

Although Ning Qinglan was close to Qian Gu Huang Yu, she was, after all, the wife of the deputy sect leader of the Tang Clan, and naturally could not stand by and watch the Tang Clan's strength be questioned at this time.

Upon hearing this, Dai Lingxun's expression softened slightly. "It seems I was overthinking it."

After all, if Bei Gongli personally built it, then there is likely only one of these, and Qian Gu Huang Yu probably still has the first unit.

...

Meanwhile, the mech battle is about to begin.

"To make the competition more entertaining, we will use simulated projection technology to generate a forest as the battlefield. We hope that both of you will have an excellent performance."

As the host finished speaking, the duel arena where War Trampling and Howling Star were located had already transformed into a dense forest.

Qian Gu Huang Yu frowned. The forest terrain was undoubtedly a great limitation for ordinary mechs, as they would be blocked by various trees when charging.

Mu Xue's mecha war stomp is similar to that of a centaur, with extremely strong jumping ability; it can simply jump over trees when it encounters them.

Even more critically, the Five Gods' Showdown has a height restriction to ensure the entertainment value of the competition and prevent the mechs from flying away, thus preventing Movina from utilizing its aerial advantage.

It can be said that the first match of the Five Gods' Showdown was full of targeted intent from the very beginning.

Just as Qian Gu Huang Yu had predicted, as soon as the match started, Mu Xue drove War Stomp at high speed towards Qian Gu Huang Yu.

However, Qian Gu Huang Yu, who was piloting the Xiao Tian Xing, had to be careful of the trees under his feet as he traveled.

Sitting in the stands, Yue Hongchen watched Xiao Tianxing's fluid movements and couldn't help but ask Gu Yuena curiously, "Junior Sister, didn't she never learn how to pilot a mecha? How come she looks so skilled?"

Gu Yuena chuckled, "Perhaps Huang'er has some quick fix?"

While Qian Gu Huang Yu may not be able to pilot a mecha, as the owner of the Gate of Babylon, she only needs a thought to operate the mecha created by Movina with its transforming gears; there's no need for anything complicated.

In the blink of an eye, War Stomp had already rushed in front of Howling Star, wielding the huge axe in its hand and slashing down at Howling Star!

"Speed ​​is power, feel it!" Mu Xue shouted.

Qian Gu Huang Yu hurriedly manipulated Xiao Tian Xing to raise his arms to defend, but Xiao Tian Xing also trembled under the powerful giant axe of War Stomp.

The giant axe of war rubbed against Xiaotianxing's arms with a grating sound, but it could not advance an inch.

"Tsk, it's really sturdy!" Mu Xue was amazed by the defensive power of Xiaotianxing. She could feel that, although both were red mechs, the materials of Xiaotianxing of the Ancient Phoenix Feather were many times better than her own War Trample.

[Could this thing be made entirely of Heavenly Forged Metal? No wonder she's the eldest daughter of the Qian Gu family!]

If Qian Gu Huang Yu could hear Mu Xue's thoughts, she would definitely laugh: Movina is a genuine divine artifact, how could it be injured so easily?
Seeing that she could not achieve anything, Mu Xue immediately withdrew her attack. The huge centaur used its hind legs to support itself on the ground, raised its forelegs, and then kicked Xiao Tianxing away.

After kicking Xiaotianxing away, War Stomp immediately launched several soul-guided rays and numerous soul-guided cannonballs, bombarding Xiaotianxing.

War Trample is a heavy mech, its entire body filled with all kinds of cannons and missiles.

First, he was kicked away and then bombarded by artillery fire, and Xiaotianxing was directly hit by the energy wall at the edge of the arena.

"Wow, this thing's firepower is really fierce!" Qian Gu Huang Yu exclaimed, feeling completely disoriented after being thrown around.

Mu Xue was filled with surprise. Despite how badly Xiao Tianxing had been beaten, he actually had no injuries at all.

[If it were any other god-level mech, this combo would have severely damaged it even if it wasn't destroyed. This thing is truly a monster.] Mu Xue thought to herself.

Without giving the Ancient Phoenix Feather a chance to recover, Mu Xue immediately manipulated the War Stomp to rush over.

This time, Qian Gu Huang Yu was smarter. Before the war could trample and attack, Xiao Tian Xing's right hand suddenly loosened and fell off, but there was still an iron chain connecting his right hand and arm.

Xiaotianxing's right hand instantly transformed into a meteor hammer!

Xiaotianxing swung his meteor hammer and immediately smashed it towards War Stomp, but Muxue remained calm and chopped the meteor hammer with her axe.

Xiaotianxing swung his right arm, instantly wrapping the iron chain around War Trampling's axe. Then, with a sudden tug, War Trampling, along with its axe, fell towards Xiaotianxing.

At this moment, Xiaotianxing's left hand had transformed into an energy cannon, ready to end the battle at point-blank range with a single shot as he pulled War Trample closer.

Now, Mu Xue has two choices: either let go of the axe and lose her weapon, or be dragged away with the axe.

However, Mu Xue did something that no one expected. War Stomp's right hand gripped the bottom of the axe handle, and then with a gentle twist, the bottom of the axe handle was completely removed!

The next instant, as War Stomp pressed a button, a light blade popped out from the bottom of the axe handle, transforming into a laser sword.

Then, War Stomp slashed at Howling Star's left arm with its sword, blocking its energy cannon.

Taking this opportunity, War Trample, relying on the inertia of being pulled by the chains, raised its front hooves and kicked fiercely at Howling Star!

The impact on the mecha was felt even by Qian Gu Huang Yu in the cockpit.

Mu Xue knew that with Xiao Tianxing's defensive capabilities, it was unrealistic for her to break through it in one go. Therefore, Mu Xue did not change her tactics and simply blocked Xiao Tianxing against the energy wall.

Then, controlling War Stomp, it repeatedly raised its front hooves to kick Xiaotianxing.

At this moment, Xiaotianxing's two arms were completely restrained, and he could only endure the attacks of War Stomp.

"Let's see how long you can hold out?" Mu Xue sneered.

ps
Picnic leader Red Spider's English name is Starscream, which literally translates to "starry cry," or more elegantly, "howling star." Following a leader-style translation, it becomes "Howling Star."
