Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

The youngest mecha builder in the history of the entire Federation. He has already successfully built a god-level mecha for someone else. He is known as the Hand of God.

God's Hand possesses unparalleled talent in mecha piloting; no matter the type of mecha, it undergoes a dramatic transformation in his hands.

He also had an incredibly peculiar name, a name that was memorable, and a name that was even criticized and ridiculed when he was young.

But this name is now famous throughout the mainland.

His name is Wang Kulou, and in this competition, he is known as the Skeleton God. His martial spirit is his own skeleton.

As a result, within just one day, the publicity surrounding the battle between the Gun King and the Skeleton King had spread throughout the entire Federation, causing a frenzy and anticipation throughout the Federation. And now, the battle is finally about to begin.

Gu You sat silently in the lounge, recalling all his memories of the King Skull.

This King Skeleton's martial soul is definitely not as simple as just a skeleton; it's the Skeleton King. Using bones as a martial soul is essentially making it part of one's physical body. However, he had asked his teacher, and learned that this King Skeleton doesn't belong to the Body Sect, but rather comes from a mysterious family.

He is a level nine mecha maker, which is also a god-level mecha maker.

Within the Federation, while there are far more top-tier individuals in other professions than blacksmiths, that's still relatively speaking. There are only thirteen level-nine mecha makers in the entire Federation. Moreover, even for them, creating god-level mechas is not so easy.

Building a god-level mech for someone else is far more difficult than building one for yourself. What's more, this guy is only thirty-three years old. If his body weren't unable to handle it, he should already be a god-level mech pilot.

Undoubtedly, Gu You felt uncomfortable facing this King Skeleton. If it were a battle between Soul Masters, he would definitely win, but in a mecha battle, there would be many more complications.

The atmosphere of the competition was even more intense than expected. The audience seemed to have completely forgotten the previous "disaster". Before Gu You even stepped out of the competition passage, a deafening roar of cheers erupted outside.

……

Abyss passage.

"Crack!" A slight breaking sound came from the deepest part of the abyss passage, undetectable even by the most sensitive detectors.

A tiny crack began to appear in the deepest core, and a faint halo appeared on the seal of the passage. However, this halo only flashed and disappeared, not lasting for long.

The black mist, as fine as silk threads, silently seeped out from the crack. It was so faint that it didn't even disturb the seal. The black mist was needle-shaped, and as it drifted, there were constantly distorted halos of light flashing around it.

The black aura began to swirl, and as it did so, it seemed as if an invisible hand was being drawn upwards by it. With a gentle pull, a figure, illuminated by the black aura, appeared faintly outside the seal belonging to the Blood God Legion. Pulling on the line formed by the black aura, the figure quickly moved outwards and flew further away from the seal.

……

"Whoosh—!" The mechs strode into the arena, emitting a deafening roar. Every spectator's eyes were fixed on the two mechs that were entering the arena.

Gu You was naturally piloting a melee mech, armed with a long spear.

Opposite him emerged another melee mech, armed with a sword and a shield.

With his spear pointing diagonally at the ground, Gu You controlled his mech, gripping the spear's middle, and stared intently at his distant opponent. The Skeleton King was also staring in his direction. An invisible connection seemed to link the two.

Without a doubt, Skeleton King's familiarity with mechs far surpasses that of Gu You; this is determined by his profession. In past battles, Skeleton King's forte has been his dazzling combos, a perfect combination of speed and power that is almost unstoppable.

This one is hailed as the pinnacle of human mecha skills.

"Star Wars Network All-Federation Challenge Mech Battle, Final Match, Prepare!"

"Five, four, three, two, one, the competition begins!"

It remains as simple as ever, a consistent style of Star Battle Network.

With the announcement of the start of the match, Gu You and Skeleton King launched their attacks almost simultaneously, both striding forward towards their opponent.

The difference between the two sides was evident from the very first step.

Both are melee mechs, only their weapons are different; relatively speaking, Skeleton King's weapon is heavier than Gu You's. However, in the initial stage, without using thrusters, Skeleton King was a full half second faster than Gu You.

This is where the difference in operation comes in. Although it's only half a second, it makes a world of difference when it comes to controlling a mech.

The two mechs approached rapidly, and it was clear from the distance that Gu You was slower. Therefore, the initial point of collision between the two mechs was not in the center of the arena, but rather slightly towards Gu You.

Skeleton King held his shield horizontally in front of him, and with a swift step, he appeared in front of Gu You, the shield hurtling directly towards Gu You's mech.

Gu You raised his spear, the tip of which gleamed with light as he poured in his soul power, causing it to radiate a dazzling light.

The King's Spear!

Knowing that his skills were inferior to his opponent's, Gu You naturally chose to go all out from the start.

The Skeleton King reacted quickly, not surprised by Gu You's shot. He continued to thrust his shield forward, but his footwork changed.

But in that instant, the Skeleton King, who should have been crashing into him, actually distanced himself from him. That single sliding step was no small feat.

What a great speed!

It's important to understand that mechs have speed limits during operation, especially in combat. But this Skeleton King in front of us seems to completely disregard these limits, giving the impression of a Soul Master fighting rather than a mech.

Gu You's spear flash failed to land on his opponent.

But at that moment, the spear in the hand of the ancient mecha suddenly shone brightly, and a low, explosive sound rang out.

The Skeleton King reacted very quickly, shrinking his body and immediately drifting to one side.

With a flick of his spear, Gu You unleashed a powerful dragon roar, and a massive, colorful dragon emerged from the spear tip, baring its fangs and claws as it pounced towards the Skeleton King.

"The Purple-Gold King?"

A series of murmurs immediately arose from the audience.

Although some people had already speculated that the Gun King was the Purple Gold King, seeing it with one's own eyes was still amazing!

This is someone who wants to win two championships!

That's right, at this point, Gu You no longer needed to hide anything, and his bloodline, at the same level as the Dragon God, erupted!
