Douluo: I founded the mecha tribe and I am the king of mecha battles!

Chapter 180 The Idea of ​​Reversing Traditional Concepts

"exactly."

An aged voice rang out in the exhibition hall. Long Yeyue slowly stepped out of the line, her gaze firm and profound. "Huo Yuhao's achievements are the result of his own hard work and unremitting struggle. His relationship with Shrek Academy is just the beginning. Our academy did not give him enough support, but we also learned many valuable experiences and lessons from him."

Long Yeyue's voice was calm yet powerful, as if an invisible force was being conveyed, which shocked everyone present.

"We do not deny the Beast Machine Merchant Guild's formidable strength in Soul Guidance Technology, nor are we afraid of the development and progress of new technologies. Shrek Academy will face the challenges, learn from the strengths of others, constantly surpass ourselves, and pursue excellence. We will never allow ourselves to be eliminated by the times. We will continue to uphold the dignity and power of Soul Masters and continue to contribute to the peace and prosperity of the continent."

Long Yeyue's words were full of confidence and determination, which stirred up a strong sense of pride and fighting spirit in the students of Shrek Academy present.

Upon hearing Long Yeyue's words, Lan Jia's smile gradually disappeared, replaced by a hint of mockery and disdain.

Such shameless words could only be uttered by someone with the thick skin inherited from Shrek Academy.

“Well said, but I hope you can keep saying it like this.”

The blue-armored figures completely ignored Long Yeyue's response and continued their tour. Every corner of the exhibition hall was brimming with innovation and vitality, showcasing the breakthroughs in soul tool technology achieved by various academies in the East China Sea region. These technologies were not merely the domain of soul masters, but rather the crystallization of the wisdom of ordinary people.

In the agricultural exhibition area, Lingqiu Academy's "Spirit Plant Cultivation Device" opened the eyes of Shrek Academy students. The soul-guided device could precisely control the plant's growth environment, thereby improving crop yield and quality. The application of this technology not only solved the food problem in the East China Sea region but also provided new ideas for agricultural development across the country and even the entire continent.

Next, they arrived at the mineral smelting exhibition area. Here, a soul tool called the "High-Efficiency Smelting Furnace" was on display, capable of significantly improving ore refining efficiency and reducing energy consumption. Inside the exhibition area, a student from Donghai Academy was demonstrating how to operate this soul tool; his movements were skillful and confident, as if he were handling a work of art.

"This 'high-efficiency smelting furnace' was designed by a non-Soul Master student who was recruited in the first year of our East Sea Academy. Although he has no Soul Power, he has extremely high talent in mechanical design and energy utilization efficiency calculation."

Lan Jia explained, his tone tinged with pride.

Upon hearing this, the students of Shrek Academy felt a complex mix of emotions. Although they came from the continent's most prestigious academy, the scene before them was completely unfamiliar. The fact that soul tools could be designed and operated by ordinary people was utterly unbelievable to them.

Ying Xiyue couldn't help but murmur under her breath, "This... how is this possible?"

According to the theories promoted by Shrek Academy, every Soul Master should have a secondary profession, such as mecha designer, blacksmith, mecha pilot, etc.
As someone who chose the profession of blacksmith, nothing was more distressing for Ying Xiyue than witnessing a piece of raw silver being gradually cleansed of impurities by a soul-guided machine until it reached the level of a hundred-stage raw silver.

If soul tools and soul technology, these cold metals, could replace the skills they had honed over years or even decades, Ying Xiyue felt not only shock and unease, but also a deep, indescribable fear. She understood that the combination of science and technology promoted by Donghai Academy would inevitably change the status of soul masters on the continent in the future.

Although Lan Jia's attitude seemed cold, every soul tool and technological innovation he introduced seemed to be silently telling the Shrek Academy delegation that the future Douluo Continent would no longer be what they once knew.

Meanwhile, the reporters who were originally invited by Shrek Academy to give high-profile publicity for this exchange competition had long been attracted by some exhibition area and were frantically reporting on it.

"Next, please move to the civilian-type external transport mech exhibition area."

The blue-armored figure's voice rang out again, carrying a hint of guidance. As they entered the new exhibition area, the scene before them undoubtedly left everyone in awe.

The external mechs varied in size and shape; some resembled engineering mechs performing high-altitude operations, while others were like miniature transport vehicles. There were even several brightly colored models for children to play with. These mechs moved nimbly and performed various tasks, undoubtedly utilizing the latest intelligent soul-guided technology developed by the Mech Beast Merchant Guild.

"These...were also made by those students?"

The Shrek Academy delegation looked completely bewildered, staring in amazement at the bizarre and wonderful mechs.

It can be either externally attached or remotely controlled.

Shouldn't mechs be operated by people who enter the mech?

"No, this is a product that our Beast Merchant Guild is planning to focus on recently."

"According to the new Soul Guidance Technology theory recently released by the Supreme Research Group, the so-called manned mecha is actually a flawed technological development. The characteristics of Soul Guidance Devices have always been a function that achieves great things with small features. Therefore, from all aspects, leaving so much space in the mecha is a waste. The external mecha developed by our Mecha Beast Merchant Guild is precisely to completely change this misconception."

The man in blue pointed to a small external mecha on the display stand. "This mecha is controlled by a remote soul tool. By using the mental amplification device of the remote soul tool, you can remotely operate the mecha, which allows you to complete various tasks such as transportation and construction without the participation of a soul master. This not only improves efficiency but also greatly reduces labor costs and the risk of injury."

Upon hearing this, the students of Shrek Academy exchanged bewildered glances, deeply impressed by the technological prowess of Donghai Academy and the Beast Machine Merchant Guild. Their hearts were filled with awe; faced with such a vast technological system, they realized that the future of Douluo Continent might truly undergo a dramatic transformation due to the rise of the Beast Machine Merchant Guild.

In a sense, Donghai Academy is using technology as a force to gradually shake the traditional concept of Soul Masters, especially in the Douluo Continent where Soul Masters are already scarce and ordinary people are numerous.

The words spoken by Lan Jia seemed to be peeling away the layers of pride and arrogance of the Soul Masters, allowing them to see that this era was undergoing a transformation.

"This is not just a tool, but a concept that reverses traditional thinking."

Long Yeyue spoke slowly, her gaze lingering on the external mecha, seemingly lost in thought. Even as a level 99 Power Attack Type Limit Douluo, Long Yeyue had to admit that the convenience and intelligence brought by this new type of mecha were indeed something she had never seen before.
