Douluo Continent: Huo Yuhao, the Thief of Heaven

After more than half a year of intensive work, today is the test drive day for the first mecha in the history of Douluo Continent, the Hellfire Dragon.

Beneath the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, this enormous red humanoid mecha stands silently within a metal gallows.

Looking at the enormous metal structure before them, all the workers smiled with satisfaction.

Even He Caitou couldn't help but look up.

"Isn't this a little too embarrassing...?"

Inside the driver's changing room, Wu Yun spoke in a very embarrassed tone.

"It's alright, you only need to wear it for a short while. You can take it off after this test drive is over," Ning Zhiyuan reassured Wu Yun, who was waiting outside the driver's seat.

He was surrounded by Huo Yuhao and others, and everyone was looking forward to seeing Wu Yun come out.

"Oh well."

The locker room door slowly opened, and Wu Yun, dressed in a red tight-fitting driving suit, walked out of the room shyly.

The red driving suit accentuated her voluptuous figure, revealing every curve of her body.

Why is the old woman feigning such a virginal demeanor?

Tianmeng Bingcan, who is fond of the loli-like appearance of Hyotei, then made her comments.

"Indeed, this kind of clothing is not very suitable for young women to wear." Benjamin even nodded in agreement.

However, his evaluation is based on flexible criteria, because what he likes most is the image of young women in driving suits.

It was also the image of his wife in a mecha pilot suit before he was brought to the Gu Realm by the "Gu Realm Talent Introduction Program".

If his wife had looked the same age as Wu Yun at the time, Benjamin would have said he quite liked her appearance.

"Hmm, very good."

Ning Zhiyuan pushed up his glasses, the reflection in the lenses making it impossible for others to see what kind of look he had at that moment.

Ning Tian and the other three girls looked on with envy at Wu Yun's brand-new style of clothing, while Huo Yuhao sat on the ground fiddling with the soul guide laptop he had made by hand.

"Then let's get started without delay."

Huo Yuhao, having adjusted all the parameters, spoke up, saying that there were still people here who paid special attention to current events.

Wu Yun entered the cockpit, which consisted of only a cylindrical platform. The mech's control design directly simulated Wu Yun's movements.

Huo Yuhao pulled out the data cable from under the stage and connected it to various ports on Wu Yun's driving suit in order to collect data.

After Wu Yun put on the helmet that had been prepared for her, Huo Yuhao got out of the driver's seat.

About ten minutes after Huo Yuhao withdrew, Wu Yun, who was meditating with her eyes closed, heard Huo Yuhao's voice.

"This is the control tower. All preparations for the first round of testing are complete. Are you ready?"

Based on previous rehearsals, Wu Yun pressed a button on the side of his helmet and replied, "Tester Wu Yun received, ready to conduct the test."

"Okay, get ready to start the test."

As soon as Huo Yuhao finished speaking, the screen in front of Wu Yun lit up automatically, displaying the outside world in front of Wu Yun.

A rumbling sound came from the ceiling.

Wu Yun looked up and saw that the metal skylight that was originally closed was now fully open, and his gaze could pass through the roof to see the clear blue sky outside.

"Soul power output preparation, begin test preparation."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yun immediately channeled his soul power into his pilot suit, which then flowed into the mecha through the circuitry.

"Start the test."

Upon receiving Huo Yuhao's order, Wu Yun immediately tried to raise his arm.

To the astonishment of the onlookers, the giant mecha's arm rose and moved with a roar.

Everyone stared in shock as the giant mecha's fingers unfurled, their hearts filled with awe.

The Hellfire Dragon took a step, and even those far from the testing room felt the earth shake.

"Testing the humanoid flight control module."

As soon as Huo Yuhao gave another command, Wu Yun immediately increased the output of his soul power.

The ability to fly, which should have been easy, required Wu Yun to consume a full fifth of his soul power in order to drive this mecha.

Intense flames erupted from the jet nozzles on the back of the mech; these were flames transformed from soul power.

Its propulsion efficiency is three times that of ordinary soul power. In addition, since Wu Yun's soul power is inherently fire-attribute, the flames formed from this soul power have a propulsion effect that is more than five times that of ordinary soul power.

Boom boom boom!

The mecha slowly rose and flew towards the ground.

In the outdoor space, spies planted by all the major powers were keeping a close eye on this place, and even members of the Soul Beast Clan had come.

Di Tian also gazed at everything that was happening here.

They were deeply shocked to see a giant red mech slowly fly out of the underground space.

Especially the spies of the Sun Moon Empire.

This scene was intentionally shown to the outside world by Ning Zhiyuan and Huo Yuhao. Such a large-scale operation to test the mecha could not be kept secret from the people outside.

It's time to move on to the more important part.

"Begin manipulating the transformation gears to activate the Martial Soul True Form and transform the mecha."

Huo Yuhao gave the order into the microphone with a resolute tone.

Even in Benjamin's world, the transformation of mechs is a difficult technical hurdle to overcome, and Huo Yuhao is not entirely confident in his own skills.

as predicted.

As Wu Yun transformed his Martial Soul True Form inside the cockpit, the mecha outside twisted into a distorted shape.

Flames burst from his body, as if he were about to disintegrate at any moment.

boom!

The cockpit door exploded open, and Wu Yun immediately burst out and flew downwards.

With a crackling roar, the giant mech plummeted from mid-air, the massive sound wave from its crash almost reaching the level of a shockwave.

In the eyes of all the forces, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's test was a complete failure, as expected.

After all, to forge such a path, one must be prepared to return empty-handed, and all the forces in the Douluo Three Kingdoms breathed a sigh of relief.

They were more worried about the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's success than its failure.

I'm afraid my brother is suffering, and I'm even more afraid he'll be driving a Land Rover.

Upon hearing this news, the Shrek Academy's spirit system burst into laughter, saying that they had long said that spirit tools were just clever tricks and useless.

It's incredibly foolish that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School invested so many resources. Their soul guidance technology is inferior to even a single innate martial soul of Shrek Academy. It's truly laughable.

When the news reached Mingde Hall, the tone was completely different; a deep and negative mood spread throughout the hall.

Over the years, they have spent billions of gold soul coins without seeing any progress in humanoid soul tools, but the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School has made basic progress in less than one billion gold soul coins.

It can even fly.

This is a slap in the face, a huge slap in the face.

Kong Deming, the head of the Sun and Moon Empire's Hall of Worship, could never understand why this was.

Could it be that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School really unearthed some strange prehistoric soul guidance technology from Douluo Continent?

Thinking about it carefully, it's actually quite possible.

After all, when the Sun Moon Empire collided with Douluo Continent, their storage soul tools were all obtained through archaeological adventures.

It's quite possible that such a complete set of technology was unearthed during archaeological digs. Could it have fallen from the sky?
