Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 190 Harvest
Under the sunlight, the crimson-gold figure that had smashed a deep crater into the earth slowly rose and surveyed its surroundings.

At this moment, the battles in various areas have basically subsided, with only the battle between Cai Yue'er and the red-level mecha resembling a hawk still undecided in the very center.

However, Cai Yue'er has already gained a clear advantage on the battlefield.

At the start of the battle, apart from Cai Yue'er who attacked immediately, most of the titled Douluo present prioritized protecting the members of their respective teams.

When you're in a foreign country and the situation is unclear, the first thing to do is naturally to protect yourself. As for killing the enemy, who knows what kind of organization is coming?

As the team leaders stabilized their lines and began to counterattack, the other mechs were simply easy prey.

The intelligence gathered by the Green Skull organization that launched the attack was both good and bad. It was good because they gathered such a large number of mechs the day after they arrived in Star Luo.

It's bad because their attack was very precise, but their information seemed somewhat outdated, and their preparations seemed to be based on the situation of the Star Luo mission.

Although the Douluo delegation was divided to some extent, those heading to Star Luo City were basically all on this one train.

There were more than one Title Douluo on the train: Cai Yue'er and Elder Song from Shrek Academy, Dean Hong Chen from Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and Mu Ye who had come along...

Therefore, their failure to retreat at the very first moment of action sealed their fate.

"Not bad, but you've chosen the wrong target!" Mu Ye sighed, and nine spirit rings—five black and four red—appeared on his body. A streamlined mech, its body entirely red with dark gold patterns, appeared in the air.

The mecha's cockpit slowly opened, and Makino turned around and sat down. After the cockpit closed, there were no visible joints on the entire mecha, as if it were cast from a single piece of metal.

"Come on! Let's have a mecha duel!" Seeing that Lin Xingyu was unharmed, there were no ambushes around, and even the Star Luo Empire's mecha guard team was about to arrive, Mu Ye laughed and charged towards the Azure Eagle Red-class mecha.

Even a battle-damaged god-level mech is a rare treasure, and its value to Makino is even greater.

Whether it was dismantling and recasting, or studying the manufacturing ideas of the opponent's mechs in the process, it was a rare gain for Makino.

Fan Jian's expression froze as he watched a god-level mech suddenly appear. The boosters at the back of the mech shone brightly as he tried to quickly get away from the battlefield.

At that moment, the silver moon in the sky shone even brighter, blocking him from his spot.

Fan Jian is one of the top executives of the Green Skull organization, and he is over 130 years old this year.

In his eighties, he took all sorts of potent drugs and barely managed to raise his soul power to the level of a Title Douluo, after which he reached a point where he could not make any further progress.

Although I am a three-word battle armor master, after realizing that I could not make any progress in my cultivation, I simply devoted all my energy to becoming a mecha pilot.

After devoting all his energy and emotions to mecha, he became a god-level mecha pilot at the age of ninety-nine.

The mecha was his lifeblood, even as valuable as his own life, so he even studied mecha repair.

Originally, this operation was well-organized and planned. The Green Skull Organization was a resistance organization formed by the natives of the Star Luo Continent, and this attack on the Douluo delegation was also intended to provoke conflict between the two continents as much as possible.

The Star Luo Empire itself is quite powerful, and these resistance organizations are having a very difficult time. In order to survive as much as possible, they will naturally pursue all kinds of power and act more and more recklessly.

Whether it's absorbing evil spirit masters or launching terrorist attacks, they'll do anything to survive.

This method gave these indigenous people some breathing room. For this operation, they even blocked all communications, and the secrecy regulations were enforced more strictly than ever before.

However, Fan Jian sensed something was wrong the moment the attack began.

At the beginning, all of our attacks were blocked, which was fine, since the opponent's soul power fluctuations were not strong, perhaps they were just more perceptive.

But then a three-word Battle Armor Master and Super Douluo suddenly appeared, whose overall strength reached level ninety-eight, even surpassing him by a level.

By this point, he had already planned to retreat, but the fighting below was evenly matched, and he couldn't directly undermine the morale of his troops.

However, after the opposing side stabilized their position, a group of powerful individuals emerged and completely ruined their favorable situation. They even had to retreat when a god-level mech charged in.

As Makino piloted Little Red, he unleashed a punch, causing the sky to distort violently in an instant. The terrifying power made everything around him tremble violently.

"boom--"

Muye, piloting Little Red, and Fan Jian, piloting Azure Eagle, instantly clashed. Unlike the previous battle, this time it was a head-on clash, something mechs excel at.

There are no more fancy soul skills; it's all pure power.

The difference in their power became apparent almost instantly.

Although both are god-level mechs, the materials they are made of are completely different, and even the pilots' abilities are completely different.

Makino gained an absolute advantage almost instantly.

Seeing Mu Ye suddenly rush out, Cai Yue'er raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything. She simply released a silver light that illuminated the entire land.

"How could I possibly lose to you?!"

Inside the Eagle Mech, Fan Jian roared loudly, constantly unleashing his mental power, trying his best to strengthen the mech.

The gap between the two was simply too great. Moreover, their development paths were completely aligned. What you have, the other side has too. This allowed him to be almost completely suppressed in an instant, and he was trapped in place.

If it weren't for the fact that the opposing mech pilot wanted to steal his mech as intact as possible, he would probably have been dismantled by now.

For mecha pilots, mecha are like their other half, their other half, even more intimate than lovers.

But what is that beast doing right now? He's dismantling his mech piece by piece, trying to steal it away.

"Do not--!"

With a violent collision, the opposing mech pilot forcibly ripped off the wings of his own mech.

Fan Jian tried to escape, but was held captive by the other party.

The next moment, Fan Jian was ejected from the cockpit and quickly left the battlefield.

"No, no, let it go!"

Fan Jian was instantly enraged, his eyes blazing with fury. The mecha had just ejected him on its own initiative, and at this point, the mecha was practically half-alive. This meant the mecha had seen through the opponent's plan.

They took the initiative to sacrifice the pawn to save the king, hoping to give him a chance to survive.

Makino glanced at the fleeing mecha pilot, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to continue targeting the mecha. The mecha pilot couldn't resist the allure of the mecha! "Retreat!!"

Like the mournful cry of a cuckoo, Fan Jian flew away into the distance, tears streaming down his face.

Cai Yue'er hesitated for a moment in the air, but still chose to chase after the other party.

After suffering heavy casualties, the Green Skull organization left behind dozens of damaged mechs, with only a handful managing to escape successfully.

A moment later, Makino was satisfied and put the somewhat damaged god-level mech into his possession. Putting aside everything else, the alloy body alone was enough to make him a fortune.

Even though the metal used in the Eagle Mech is of a lower grade, far inferior to the metal used in his Little Red, and it even has the soul power of another soul master on it, the difficulty of modifying it is extremely high, and it is not as easy as building a new one.

No matter what, this is a rare treasure, and even if he sells it, it would be worth several years' worth of his income.

Mu Ye ignored the rest of the scene. After dealing with the god-level mech, he fled far away without even saying goodbye to Lin Xingyu. He didn't intend to share this spoils with anyone else, not even a little bit.

Not to mention that he was the main force, while the others only made some interceptions.

At that moment, a series of sharp whistles came from afar, and a large number of black dots flew towards this place.

The battle ended, and reinforcements arrived.

At this moment, Cai Yue'er also flew back on a silver light, looking at her empty hands.
They obviously didn't catch up.

Lin Xingyu also walked around the battlefield and took all the mechs he had destroyed.

He dealt with a total of nine purple-level mechs and one black-level mech. Although the quality of the metal used in these mechs was not very high, the quantity was definitely enough.

He could even reforge some ordinary thousand-refined metals, but the quality of those spirit-forged metals was not very good, and it could be said that their potential had been exhausted.

However, selling them would also bring in a considerable sum. He could even forge these metals and incorporate them into his domain. In the past few months, his domain has gained more souls of soul beasts and soul masters.

Lin Xingyu put everything into his storage soul tool and pretended not to notice the hesitant expressions of the officials around him.

During their exchange activities, this delegation from Douluo Continent was attacked by a terrorist organization on the Star Luo Continent.

In any case, this is all the fault of the Star Luo Empire. In fact, if they were shameless enough to ask for some compensation, they could probably get it.

Sima Lanxiao's expression was somewhat stiff as she communicated with the Star Luo Empire's main reinforcements while also exchanging information with the Douluo delegation.

He had just suggested to Cai Yue'er and others that they participate in an exchange competition, where they could receive various rewards.

Seeing Lin Xingyu's strength, he began to feel that what he had been absolutely certain of was not so certain anymore.

As the Foreign Minister of the Star Luo Empire, he could be considered a core figure in the empire, and he had some confidence in the level of the geniuses cultivated by his own Monster Academy.

Even this exchange match was only invited because the Star Luo Empire felt they had a sure thing, which is why they insisted on it.

After comparing their strengths, Sima Lanxiao managed to calm down somewhat. With a six-ring and two-word battle armor against a five-ring and two-word battle armor, the advantage was in his hands!
The entire train had derailed, so the rest of the journey could not be undertaken by train. The army quickly searched for the injured personnel on the field, while a portion of the troops chased after the direction in which the Green Skull had retreated.

The Star Luo Empire urgently dispatched a large number of soul-guided buses, while leaving behind several hundred mechs as a guard.

The overall response was quite timely, and the casualties were minimal.

Sitting in the soul-guided car, Lin Xingyu looked out the window and recalled the battle he had just experienced.

After this battle, he had a clear understanding of his own strength.

He only used the first four soul skills, plus his own battle armor. If he went all out in a head-on collision, he could basically destroy the black-level mech.

His fifth soul skill, Crimson Gold Avatar, provides a more comprehensive boost to his combat power, and his battle armor is also sufficiently spiritual, almost catching up with some weaker three-word battle armors.

The difference between battle armors is huge. Although the boost provided by two-word battle armor and three-word battle armor is the same, the amount they provide is completely different.

Under normal circumstances, combined with his own combat power from the battle armor, he should have reached the level of a level 91 Title Douluo.

Moreover, he was a Title Douluo with a relatively powerful martial soul, not counting his battle armor...

Furthermore, he possesses an extraordinary ability: his surging supernatural life force grants him astonishing vitality. When needed, he can not only burn his blood and qi but also directly burn his life force.

All of these losses can be recovered, and he can even use these abilities as ordinary skills.

In this way, his own strength can be increased by several levels.

I can probably barely reach level 94? The gap after level 95 is just too big.

Having a clear understanding of his own combat capabilities, he felt much more at ease.

After nearly ten years of hard training, his combat power has finally reached the edge of a Title Douluo.

In a cheerful mood, looking at the forests and lakes that kept appearing outside, the scenery suddenly seemed even more beautiful.

……

Because they were traveling by car, and the route was replanned, the speed was slower than that of the Soul Guide Train. Lin Xingyu finally arrived in Xingluo City two days later.

If you take the Soul Guide Train, the journey will only take one day, and it will even be faster on the Douluo Continent.

Star Luo City has a strong ancient style. The city walls, which have become antiques on the Douluo Continent, are still equipped with a large number of soul-guided weapons here, playing a role in the city's defense.

……

Xingluo Hotel

After being settled into his accommodation, Lin Xingyu left his hotel while everyone else was still resting.

In the past two days, he has roughly processed the batch of mechs he acquired.

He separated out the metals that had been forged to near their limit, and selected out some of the unique metals from the Star Luo Empire from the ordinary metals and those that could be forged a second time.

The rest were basically fed into their own domains.
