Douluo: The Peerless Sun and Moon Mechanical God

"Bro!?"

Upon seeing Xiao Hongchen storming into the experimental area, Meng Hongchen's first reaction was to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, like a young girl caught sneaking out of the house for a date by her brother.

The next second, she suddenly realized that Miss Meng had always acted with integrity and had no need for others to tell her what to do. She immediately stood firmly on her feet, waiting for Xiaoxiaozi to bow and pay her respects.

However, plagued by anxiety about his appearance, Xiao Hongchen had no interest in interfering in his sister's love life anymore, secretly cursing Ai Xiao as a bunch of useless good-for-nothings.

I couldn't get any information from him, and all I did was try to fool him!

"Haha, you've come at the perfect time!"

Lin Jiayi hurriedly greeted Xiao Hongchen, his enthusiasm evident in his words.

When you're sleepy, someone brings you a pillow. Both being metal-attribute martial souls, Xiao Hongchen awakened the bloodline of a divine beast in his childhood, and his three-legged golden toad martial soul can be said to be the closest to the ultimate metal in the entire Sun Moon Empire.

If the mechanical element suppresses the three-legged toad, then it can be concluded that it is indeed the ultimate form of metal.

"Haha, a monster new student has arrived at the academy. His martial soul is the ultimate mutated metal. Look..."

Lin Jiayi explained Lin Qing's situation and the instantaneous disruption of his Level 6 soul tool to Xiao Hongchen in one go. He then suggested that Xiao Hongchen be Lin Qing's opponent in the advanced assessment.

Upon hearing that his younger sister's crush was actually the legendary Ultimate Martial Soul, Xiao Hongchen fell into deep thought. Under Lin Jiayi's expectant gaze, he slowly but firmly shook his head.

"To win without honor is beneath me; I laugh at the world's disdain for such a thing!"

"Given up?"

Meng Hongchen immediately stabbed her brother in the lungs.

"A total of three supreme Soul Masters have been born on the mainland, all of whom appeared in the Douluo Three Kingdoms."

More than four thousand years ago, two continents collided with a deafening roar. The Empire launched a holy war to attack Douluo. We had already gained an overwhelming advantage. The hidden weapons that Douluo relied on were like stone spears of a primitive tribe in front of soul tools. It wasn't until Dean Shrek, who possessed the ultimate fire martial soul, took over as commander-in-chief of the three armies.

Historical records state that raging flames scorched the heavens and boiled the seas, the intense heat melting soul tools into pools of molten iron... That was the first time the empire had witnessed the ultimate personal power of a soul master...

If even the ultimate fire is like this, let alone the ultimate metal, the pinnacle of metal properties in the world, the three-legged toad still has an insurmountable gap to cross before reaching the ultimate.

"Just admit it, you cowardly brother, you're just a coward. You're afraid to see Aixiao's humiliating face as Lin Qing brutally stomps on her head!"

"This is utterly ridiculous! The word 'coward' has never existed in my dictionary!"

Xiao Hongchen scoffed: "Times have changed. Four thousand years have passed, and the technology of soul tools has been constantly updated and iterated. They will never be easily melted by extreme fire again."

I never deny the power of the ultimate gold, but the three-legged golden toad has the pride of a divine beast flowing in its blood. My cannon is no less fierce, so why shouldn't the ultimate gold fear me!

We refused today, because this is just a small freshman assessment!

The ultimate battle between the pinnacle of gold and the bloodline of a divine beast should rightfully take place in the largest experimental zone, Zero Zone, of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Grandpa should personally oversee the refereeing, and in front of ten thousand teachers and students, we should both unleash our full power, fighting without reservation and with exhilarating abandon!

"Brother, I think I underestimated you before..."

Xiao Meng raised her hand to cover her eyes. Xiao Hongchen's radiance was so dazzling that even ice-attribute soul masters dared not look directly at him!

"Dream, always remember this saying: 'Laugh at the world, you are invincible among your peers!'"

Xiao Hongchen pointed to the sky with one finger and chanted, "Tang San, the Sea God, was born ten thousand years earlier than me. Should we avoid each other, or should he avoid my sharp edge?"

Tang broke through to the Soul Master level at the age of thirty-four and became the Soul Emperor at the age of nineteen. Your older brother is now approaching the five-ring Soul King level and his goal is to become the seven-ring Soul Saint at the age of nineteen!

What I'm going to destroy is the boundless sky!

Every word he uttered was powerful and resounding, revealing the overwhelming genius of the Sun and Moon!

Time passed second by second, but Lin Qing maintained a steady pace, carving and polishing the refined gold.

The outer shell of the soul tool slowly took shape, and the golden sword was about three feet long. Unlike the vast and restrained nature of the Underworld Emperor's Sword, this sword was designed to be luxurious and dazzling, engraved with intricate and exquisite patterns, the lines of which meandered and stretched like tributaries of a river.

Ye Guyi voluntarily gave up his share of the Soul Bone Stealing from the Gale Twin-Headed Wolf and asked Lin Qing to tailor-make a Soul Guide Sword for him. As a true man, Lin Qing always kept his word.

The metal desktop is decorated with hundreds of rare metals, half of which are extremely rare and hard to find on the market. Lin Qing makes full use of these free raw materials, getting a great deal of freebies even before enrolling in school.

With the outer shell complete, the next step is the most important component of the soul tool: the core magic array.

Blazing Sun Crystal, a metal with both light and fire attributes, is one of the most expensive of all rare metals. Even the wealthy Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy only provides one crystal per freshman.

As the carving knife fell, fragments of crimson gold flew like sparks, and the Blazing Sun Spirit Crystal was divided into seven parts, each with a regular shape and uniform size, arranged neatly in a row, like seven radiant crimson gold stars.

Lin Qing carved out soul-guiding patterns on the tip of the blade, planning to attach seven core magic arrays to the soul-guiding sword.

Master Qing's movements were extremely steady and fast, his fingers seemingly becoming one with the carving knife. Without hesitation, each cut was precise, the lines forming intricate geometric patterns: energy gathering arrays, explosion arrays, cutting arrays, light waterfall arrays...

As the blade fell, the final balancing array was successfully completed, and the seven Blazing Sun Crystals took shape.

"null--"

The next instant, a torrent of silver elements suddenly descended, like the Milky Way cascading down from the heavens.

In the new student assessment experimental area, the concentration of gold element is skyrocketing at an incredible rate!

Xiao Hongchen's expression changed drastically as he stood on the sidelines. The oppressive feeling brought by the mechanical element was overwhelming. The three-legged golden toad, known as the controller of metal, let out a shrill cry. The divine beast bloodline seemed to have a feeling of shrinking back and retreating, and instantly lost control of the metal element!

"Suppressing superiors..."

Xiao Hongchen's lips twitched. You really are the ultimate gold!

Things are getting bad, the other side is Tongtiandai!

As the mechanical elements descended, sensing the supreme call, the metals vibrated and trembled excitedly, radiating an increasingly intense light. Hundreds of metals resonated together, jointly performing a metal symphony!

Lin Qing stood at the center of the elemental torrent, his handsome face sculpted like a beautiful jade relief under the silver light, listening to the rousing cheers of the metal around him.

Ultimate talent, metal sublimation.

Mechanical elements are used to transform rare metals, and the ultimate gold flows into the gaps in the metal that are invisible to others, helping the loyal subjects to complete the transformation of their life essence!

Seven core magic arrays floated in mid-air, gently rotating around the gleaming gold sword blade. Crimson gold light and gleaming gold radiance intertwined and mixed. The patterns within the core magic arrays suddenly lit up, and then the core magic arrays transformed into seven stars embedded within them.

A level four peak soul tool, the Aurora Sword.

The mechanical elements vanished silently like receding tides, the silvery light dimmed, the metallic resonance subsided, and everything returned to stillness.

The gentle sunlight bathed the Aurora Sword in its brilliance. At the hilt, wing-shaped pieces of refined gold converged to form a handguard, exquisite and magnificent, with each golden feather clearly defined.

At the metal table next door, Ye Guyi had also finished her work; the two of them had coincidentally chosen to create a Soul Guide Sword.

People are afraid of comparison.

Looking at the Aurora Sword, which could deserve any praise, and then looking down at the mess she had painstakingly made, a hint of melancholy, as if struck by reality, flashed across her pure and beautiful face...

"This is simply art!"

Lin Jiayi couldn't help but applaud.

Judging by the strict standards of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Soul Masters in Douluo Three Kingdoms are automatically downgraded by half a level. Ye Guyi can only barely be considered to have entered the threshold of a Level 4 Soul Master, while Lin Qing is definitely a Level 4 Soul Master!

No, he is not an ordinary level four soul master, but a level four soul master at the Great Perfection, a being on the verge of level five!

Director Lin is a senior level eight soul master. He doesn't need to test it himself. Just by watching the production process and the earth-shattering metal sublimation, he can confidently say that the Aurora Sword has the power of a level six soul guide sword!

The ultimate gold is terrifyingly powerful!

Ultimate attributes, cultivation through devouring metal energy, sublimation of metal origin, innate soul master's holy body... all sorts of dazzling titles are as eye-catching as the rising sun.

Even if the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is a bunch of idiots, they are perfectly clear at this moment that they must keep this awesome young man!

"The soul tool is complete. The practical assessment begins."

Lin Jiayi suppressed his elation and continued to preside over the advanced assessment. Lin Qing had already given him a huge surprise, making him extremely eager to see the ultimate gold's combat performance next!

"The bone garment will go first."

The main meal was to be left until last, and the head of the teaching department decided to sample the appetizers first.

Lin Qing sheathed his Aurora Sword, his silver-gray eyes gazing at the three figures in the spectator area. Meng Hongchen waved happily, while the white-haired youth with heterochromatic blue and green eyes was burning with fighting spirit.

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy has only one king; we will eventually have a battle.

This is the unspoken understanding between two wild beasts.

Based on Ye Guyi's Soul Master cultivation level, the referee team selected a suitable student, and her opponent slowly appeared from a hundred meters away.

Upon seeing the angelic young lady surrounded by holy light, a hint of amazement flashed in the eyes of the ordinary-looking young man. He cupped his hands and said, "Tang Gang, a fifth-year student at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, please enlighten me."

"Ye Guyi, please enlighten me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Guyi shot out like an arrow. Her sword rang out clearly, and the sword light left a dazzling golden afterimage. Her powerful physique made her speed unbelievable, and the hem of her clothes fluttered in the wind.

Tang Gang was somewhat stunned by the stunning beauty of the Holy Angel and had not expected Ye Guyi to be so swift.

Logically, a battle between Soul Masters should involve both sides occupying terrain, probing and wearing each other down, searching for weaknesses, and finally entering the decisive stage.

But Ye Guyi doesn't play by the rules at all. Regardless of what kind of soul tool Tang Gang is good at, she launches an attack right away, giving him no extra time to react.

The golden afterimage rapidly enlarged, and Tang Gang almost subconsciously activated a level four soul-guiding shield.

"Click—"

A layer of deep purple light expanded, like an inverted bowl covering Tang Gang.

The sword and shield collided with a piercing friction explosion, the soul-guiding shield shook violently, and cracks spread outwards like a dense spider web, but it ultimately did not break.

Tang Gang regained his composure. His soul-guided shield had blocked the attack, meaning he had successfully gained a brief respite. As a ranged soul master, he needed to find a way to create distance between himself and Ye Guyi in order to launch a counterattack without any worries.

"Buzz—"

Four spirit rings, one yellow and one purple, rose up. Tang Gang held a green bamboo in his hand. The bamboo was slender and tough. It was not a close combat spirit tool, but his awakened martial spirit!

Martial Soul, Guzhu!

Just before the soul guide shield shattered, Tang Gang pushed off the ground with both feet, braced himself against the ground with Gu Zhu, and transformed into a nimble monkey, leaping into the air to avoid Ye Guyi's horizontal sword slash!

Pole vaulting on a bamboo pole!

"Amazing..."

Lin Qing leaned back. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is full of talented people!

Ye Guyi on the battlefield was stunned. The Sun and Moon Soul Master was indeed extraordinary, skillfully using the characteristics of his Martial Soul in battle!

"Xiao Gang's Guzhu is all about surprise attacks."

Lin Jiayi laughed heartily.

This is the educational philosophy of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy in recent years: to focus on both Soul Masters and Soul Instructors!

The training results are quite remarkable. The students will study martial spirits to some extent and develop unique tactics. The pole vaulting in Guzhu often helps Tang Gang escape and reorganize the attack!

"Tsk..."

Ye Guyi felt a nameless rage rising within her, as if a 58-meter-tall giant had been punched on the knee by a dwarf—not very damaging, but extremely humiliating.

Using the resilience of the bamboo to propel himself, Tang Gang traced a graceful parabola and deployed his flying soul tool in mid-air.

Putting aside all his arrogance, Tang Gang's arms began to transform, with twelve cannon barrels growing from the outside of his arms, aiming down at Ye Guyi from afar.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Twelve beams of soul power were unleashed, their various colors converging into a massive, all-encompassing net of fire that blanketed the earth.

The instantaneous burst of power from a Soul Master is extremely terrifying; the dense firepower coverage has almost no blind spots, and even a five-ring Soul King is unwilling to take the barrage head-on.

The practical assessment only allows the use of soul tools made on the spot. Ye Guyi's sword energy cannot threaten him, who is soaring in the sky. He can't fly and can only stare helplessly. Tang Gang smiled crookedly, determined to win this battle!

"Sizzle—"

A pair of pure white wings burst forth from its back, carrying Ye Guyi as it soared into the sky!

Martial Soul Disguise: Bright Swan!

With a gentle flap of its wings, Ye Guyi's speed surged to an exaggerated level. Its golden figure left a series of dazzling afterimages, appearing in more than a dozen locations in the blink of an eye, each wielding a longsword, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.

The soul-guided rays pierced through the afterimages, blasting up a cloud of rubble and dust, but the real Ye Guyi had already broken through the barrage of fire.

The swan's wings opened and closed, exquisitely adjusting its flight posture. The Soul-Guiding Rays narrowly missed her, never managing to hit her.

Tang Gang's smile suddenly froze.

She even charged straight ahead!

Angels, invincible in aerial combat.

Although Ye Guyi was in a disguised state of martial soul and could not use the four great soul skills of the Holy Angel, aerial combat was an instinct engraved in the angel's genes. As long as he had a pair of wings, Ye Guyi would show his opponents what it meant to be the King of the Sky!

Seeing this, Tang Gang's expression changed from smugness to shock, then from shock to helplessness. He could only helplessly watch as the golden light rode the wind and waves, charging through the barrage of fire!

A flash of sword light, and metal fragments flew everywhere!

"Junior, be gentle, don't hit my face... Aaaaah!"

A scream echoed through the sky, but Ye Guyi remained silent as she unleashed a barrage of sword strikes!

May the Dragon King's crooked smile be yours, may you be as lonely as Guzhu, may you be as strong as a pole vaulter!
