Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 189 Xingluo's Special Welcome Ceremony

After a rather brief ceremony, the two delegations went their separate ways.

"Here is our itinerary for the next leg of our journey: First, we will head directly to Starfall City, the capital of the Starfall Empire, where we will have some exchanges, mainly with the Starfall Royal Academy and the Monster Academy. Finally, we will go to..."

Listening to Wu Changkong's rhythmic and cool voice, Lin Xingyu stared blankly out the window, clearly lost in thought.

Thanks to the meticulous arrangements made by the Star Luo Empire, the group had a very comfortable time, with top-notch treatment in every aspect. They first rested for a night at the best hotel in the seaside city, and the next morning they boarded the Soul Guide Train directly to the capital, Star Luo City.

Yes, it is a train.

Sitting in his seat, Lin Xingyu glanced at Tang Wulin in the distance with a strange expression.

He could clearly see the changes in Tang Wulin. In just two months, his martial soul had evolved, and his physical attributes had also improved considerably.

It's just that without Makino's help, his improvement wasn't as significant, but the changes in his body did have some resemblance to the Tide Body Training.

'Tang San did learn quite a bit from the old Sea God.'

Suppressing my thoughts, I shifted my focus to the present moment.

Riding the Soul Guidance Train with Tang Wulin, I wonder if we'll run into that group of evil Soul Masters again.

The time and place seem to match up, so there's no problem with science. If you add a little metaphysics, it should be possible to run into that group of evil spirit masters, right?
Lin Xingyu didn't have much intention of avoiding this group of evil soul masters he was about to encounter.

They're just a bunch of ordinary evil spirit masters, and they're accompanied by someone like Mu Ye. I'll avoid their sharp edge.

Even if he manages to evade this group of evil spirit masters, will these guys stop attacking him in the future?
How many more people will these guys cause to die or be injured? You have to know that the cultivation methods of those who can be called evil soul masters are extremely cruel.

With that thought in mind, he focused his gaze even more intently on the scenery outside the car.

"Xingyu, what are you looking at?" Xu Xiaoyan looked around, seemingly trying to take advantage of Wu Changkong's inattention, and whispered in his ear.

"Nothing, just looking to see how this place differs from Douluo Continent," he replied in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan also turned her head and looked out the window. From a distance, Star Luo Continent and Douluo Continent seemed to be no different.

The architectural styles on the mainland are almost identical, with only occasional minor differences. Apart from that, the scenery along the way is also almost the same, except that there are more plants.

After all, the people here were transferred from Douluo Continent, so ultimately, they share the same bloodline.

"It's nothing much, it looks no different from my hometown," Xu Xiaoyan muttered to herself.

At the same time, she quietly grasped Lin Xingyu's right hand with both of her hands, intending to quietly enjoy this wonderful moment.

Just then, I suddenly felt an angry gaze coming from the other side.

Xu Xiaoyan looked up and saw a figure with red hair.

She gave a bright smile, then gripped her arms tighter and leaned against the shoulder next to her, intending to rest for a bit.

"Huh, what's that?"

Xu Xiaoyan narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at the black dots that suddenly appeared outside the window. Those black dots seemed to be approaching this place at an extremely fast speed.

"It looks like a mecha?"

Sitting next to Xu Xiaoyan, Xie Xie continued, "As a mecha enthusiast, although my current goal is to become a Battle Armor Master, I have never given up on my research into mecha."

They recognized the mech flying in the air from a distance based on just a few distinctive features.

"Is Xingluo making such a grand show of things? We're just a branch of the delegation, and we're escorted by a whole squadron of mechs when we travel." Tang Wulin couldn't help but remark as he watched the mechs gradually appearing in the distance.

"Something seems off..." Sensing the intense soul power fluctuations suddenly emanating from outside the train, and seeing the mech units outside suddenly launch dozens of soul-guided beams directly at the train, Xie Xie seemed to realize something.

"Enemy attack!"

Lin Xingyu glanced at the two clowns with a bit of an exasperation, but still couldn't help but shout it out loud.

As soon as the sound rang out, everyone reacted immediately, their hands moving incredibly fast, releasing their martial spirits in an instant, their bodies gleaming with light, their movements busy yet orderly.

Lin Xingyu raised an eyebrow slightly, stood up from his seat, and began to rapidly generate crimson-gold light spots on his body. These light spots first appeared on his forehead, then on his hands, arms, chest, back, waist, legs, and feet.

As these crimson-gold spots of light emerged, rays of crimson-gold light began to connect and outline from these spots, eventually forming magnificent crimson-gold patterns. At the same time, Lin Xingyu's aura began to rise at a terrifying speed.

A cold blue light emanated from Wu Changkong's body, causing the surrounding temperature to drop sharply. With a single swing of his longsword, he instantly sliced ​​and split the top of the carriage apart, as easily as tearing paper, and sunlight streamed down onto everyone.

Lin Xingyu's first, second, and third spirit rings lit up simultaneously.

A brilliant flame burst forth from his body, causing the temperature around him, which had seemed to be dropping, to surge instantly.

These flames then coalesced into fireballs, which began to show a metallic sheen, reflecting the sun's brilliance.

Gu Yue waved several beams of azure light from her hand, which landed on the fireballs. They shot out at an extremely fast speed, drawing arcs in the air and directly and accurately intercepting all the incoming soul-guiding rays.

The fireball exploded violently the moment it made contact, and the metal fragments, carrying the force of the impact, the power to break magic, and the Glazed True Fire, tore apart all the incoming soul-guided beams and fixed soul-guided projectiles.

At this moment, Wu Changkong couldn't help but feel a little amazed.

The two-word battle armor can almost amplify a Soul King to the level of an eight-ring Soul Douluo, but the probing attacks from outside are carried out by a red-level mech, eight black-level mechs, and more than thirty purple-level mechs!

Even a probing attack without using his full strength was almost at the level of a Title Douluo.

Yet he was able to intercept almost all of them, something I couldn't do!
boom! boom! boom! boom!
Explosions rang out ahead, and the train instantly went out of control.

A sharp aura appeared beside her, and Na'er held a silver spear in her hand, with four spirit rings—three purple and one black—appearing on her body.

The people on the train also merged with their battle armor, and all the two-word battle armor masters unfolded their wings and flew into the air.

Lin Xingyu casually grabbed Xu Xiaoyan beside him with his right hand, his body wrapped in strands of blue silver grass, and pulled the others up into the sky.

Cai Yue'er stood in the air, a bright moon appearing above her head, its light illuminating the earth. Three-word battle armor also appeared on her body, her aura locking onto the red-level mech leading the opposing force from afar.

With a cold snort, it charged towards the red mech opposite it, trailing hundreds of meters of silver light.

The three-word battle armor also appeared on Elder Song's body, but instead of charging towards the opposing mech horde, he stood still, hundreds of meters of emerald green light emanating from behind him, illuminating the people below. This was to prevent any accidents from happening to them.

Their gaze was fixed on the front of the train.

At the same time that the enemy mechs fired their soul-guided cannons, an explosion also rang out on the train.

The inertia caused the soul-guided train to derail, breaking it into sections and even causing many carriages to overturn. It blocked external enemies but failed to prevent internal treachery.

A series of streaks of light appeared on the train and rushed directly towards the group of mechs on the opposite side.

He put Xu Xiaoyan down, whom he had taken with him when he soared into the sky.

"Go to the train ahead and try to help as many people trapped inside as possible," Lin Xingyu said to the people beside him.

"let's go!"

Tang Wulin retracted the vines he had just summoned and quickly ran towards the soul-guided train that had rolled hundreds of meters.

Just as Lin Xingyu took off, Gu Yue used wind element to reduce everyone's mass. Tang Wulin then used Blue Silver Grass to connect everyone, and was then carried by Lin Xingyu into the air.

This avoided the damage caused by the train rolling over.

However, this extremely fast evasive maneuver also made many people uncomfortable. The train was traveling at a speed of several hundred kilometers per hour, and Lin Xingyu's speed was also quite fast when he first unleashed his power, causing them to be tossed around in mid-air.

As soon as Xu Lizhi landed, he immediately created one recovery meat bun after another and threw them to the others to restore their status.

The group quickly rushed towards the carriage not far away.

As for the main battlefield, they had no intention of participating; being unable to fly and fighting these mechs would be too much of a disadvantage.

Lin Xingyu flew towards a purple-level mecha not far away, and during this process, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth rapidly converged towards him.

When the two sides were close enough, Lin Xingyu flashed a silver light and disappeared from his spot. The next moment, he appeared behind the purple-level mecha.

With a sudden thrust of his long spear, a dazzling crimson-gold light flashed across the surface.

The long spear pierced the mecha, its sharp and sturdy nature, combined with the magic-breaking power of the Xuanjin Armor, and the ultimate strike formed by the concentrated force of the body.

As easily as piercing through paper, it pierced through the purple-level mecha. The force generated by the weapon, coupled with the Glazed True Fire, instantly tore the pilot inside the mecha to pieces, and then burned him to ashes.

Lin Xingyu drew his weapon, letting the purple-level mech fall to the ground, and charged towards the other mechs with green skulls branded on their chests.

If we only consider destructive power, a purple-level mech is basically equivalent to a Soul Saint level mech, but it is much inferior in other aspects.

In terms of both flexibility and versatility, it is far inferior to a Soul Saint. In terms of overall combat power, it is roughly equivalent to a peak Soul Emperor.

But what is the Soul Emperor in Lin Xingyu's hands now? Coupled with this mecha's poor adaptability and numerous flaws, Lin Xingyu instantly killed the mecha pilot without giving him a chance to react after a single flash.

Unless it's a specially modified mech pilot who can communicate with him, only they can exchange a few blows with him.

In mid-air, crimson-gold light shone continuously, like the rays of the sun, piercing through one purple mech after another.

After another spatial teleportation, he casually took care of another purple-level mech.

His situation directly attracted the attention of the Green Skull organization's higher-ups, and a Black-level mech with a Green Skull branded on its chest charged towards him.

Lin Xingyu was not surprised at all. There were only about thirty purple-level mechs of the Green Skull organization on the battlefield. This was the ninth purple-level mech he had taken down, which meant that he had taken down almost a third of the enemy's purple-level mechs by himself.

No wonder the other side got a little impatient.

Seeing the black-level mech flying towards him, Lin Xingyu adjusted his breathing and went to meet it as well.

The Black-level mecha corresponds to the combat power of a Contra Master, and after he put on the Two-Word Battle Armor, his soul power output and recovery also reached the level of a Contra Master.

However, the mecha pilot on the other side was only at the Soul Emperor level. The combination between the mecha and the mecha pilot was far less close than that between the Soul Master and the Battle Armor.

For him, mechs of this caliber were nothing more than freebies.

Gripping the long spear tightly, Lin Xingyu became serious for the first time today.

A crimson-gold domain unfolded, amplifying itself while weakening its opponent, and simultaneously unleashing an overwhelming, all-encompassing will.

"field?!"

At this moment, the mech pilot inside the black mech couldn't help but change his expression. The two consecutive weakenings had reduced all of his abilities.

The connection between myself and the mecha weakened, and I became less adept at controlling the mecha.

A dazzling crimson-gold light erupted from Lin Xingyu's hand.

His essence, energy, and spirit blended into one, amplifying himself to the fullest. He was like a giant dragon awakening, unleashing terrifying power fluctuations, and he controlled and dominated the magnetic field of heaven and earth.

Endless power condensed on the long spear in his hand, and the Glazed True Fire erupted with terrifying high temperature. The blazing flames were like a small sun, and the battle armor's amplification was pulled to the extreme.

Lin Xingyu unleashed a terrifying attack.

His figure instantly transformed into a streak of light, slamming heavily into the black-level mech.

boom!
After the violent impact, under the sharp, law-breaking, and magnetic force, the longsword in the black-level mech's hand shattered instantly. Lin Xingyu's weapon pierced through the longsword directly. The weapon, forged from two external soul bones and upgraded several times, was too powerful. Lin Xingyu turned around once again.

The same dazzling strike erupted once again.

His powerful physique endowed him with terrifying strength, enabling him to withstand such explosive power.

A normal two-word battle armor can amplify a Soul Emperor to a Soul Douluo.

Although he is a Soul King, his soul power alone is stronger than that of an ordinary Soul Emperor, and his battle armor is far stronger than that of an ordinary two-word battle armor!

This is equivalent to a top-tier Contra Master's attack, but for him now, it's just normal.

The Black-level mech pilot's eyes were filled with fear. He hadn't expected that his burst of power just now wasn't even the opponent's limit.

But he still did his best, taking out his spare weapon and retreating while meeting the opponent's second attack.

The crimson-gold light collided with the dark green light once again, the mecha's spare weapon shattered, and Lin Xingyu turned around and launched his third attack.

This time, he pierced directly through the mecha's arm, and then smashed it so hard that he broke off the mecha's right arm.

Taking advantage of the Black-class mech's wide-open defenses, a dazzling attack fell like a meteor, and both crashed heavily to the ground, the terrifying impact kicking up clouds of dust.

A moment later, Lin Xingyu revealed himself, his long spear piercing straight through the mecha's cockpit, the mecha pilot was clearly dead.

The battle ended with him directly shattering a black-level mech, equivalent to a Contra character.
