Douluo: The Peerless Sun and Moon Mechanical God

Chapter 38 The Golden Toad Stops at an Inch, Mechanical Elements Remain the World's Finest, Red Dust Flying Kick and Mechanical King Flying Kick (4K)

Qingxiao's final battle, his peak moment.

Two exceptionally talented young men stood at opposite ends of Experiment Zone Zero, their gazes fixed intently on each other.

The solemn and silent atmosphere was like a duel between two peerless masters, their sharp, hawk-like eyes unblinking as they captured the slightest flaws that their opponent inadvertently revealed.

All the teachers and students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy subconsciously lowered their breathing, afraid of disturbing the two.

If the battlefield were to shift to the deep mountains and forests, what might break the stalemate would be a fluttering, fallen green leaf. However, the start of a battle on the Soul Arena is always marked by the sudden rise of Soul Rings!

Yellowish-purple, yellowish-purple-purple-black!

There's always a higher mountain to climb!

Undeterred by the color difference in the soul ring pairing, Xiao Hongchen quickly completed the martial soul possession, and a leg emerged from his buttocks.

Like a third leg cast in gold, it stomped heavily on the metal ground, blinding golden light spreading across the sky. The three-legged golden toad roared and shook the heavens, its ancient divine beast bloodline responding to its host's indomitable will!

Having progressed all the way to the fifth grade, Xiao Hongchen had fought against quite a few Sun Moon Academy students, and they were all amazed.

I have never seen Xiao Hongchen so full of fighting spirit before. Only the ultimate gold of the Fierce Dragon Crossing the River has forced out the strongest form of the divine beast!

"boom-

'

Lin Qing raised his hand and made a grasping motion. In an instant, mechanical elements swept across the heavens and earth, and an extremely sharp and chilling aura spread wantonly. A cold current swept over Xiao Hongchen and the three-legged golden toad. Xiao Hongchen felt a chill all over his body and shivered. The hairs on his body stood on end.

In his perception, mechanical elements were practically omnipresent; the sky and earth were enveloped in a silvery torrent, and Lin Qing seemed to be the only source of light in the world. Even more deadly, a majestic, inhuman roar seemed to resound simultaneously from all directions—

To pay homage to the emperor.

I pay homage to the Lord of Gold!

"Ultimate suppression!"

On the dais, the knowledgeable Teacher Riyue glimpsed the truth.

Even at the extremes, order is clearly defined!

The ultimate martial spirit represents reaching a destination and suppressing all similar attributes along the way.

Mechanical element is a mutated, ultimate form of metal element, and naturally possesses such power.

However, soul tools are ultimately inanimate objects, and Sun Moon Soul Masters who fight using their Martial Souls are extremely rare. While mechanical elements certainly have an absolute advantage, they cannot create a caste-like system of superior suppression.

Now, facing Xiao Hongchen, Lin Qing can finally bully people openly and legitimately!

The three-legged toad struggled against the instincts that brought it to submit. This divine beast was extraordinary; ordinary gold could not even stand up straight to face this great being!

The weight on his shoulders felt like Mount Tai pressing down on him. Xiao Hongchen was panting heavily. He knew that if he kept trying to escape the suppression of his attributes, he would be trapped in a situation from which he could never turn back. The Soul Master and the Martial Soul's light and shadow moved in unison, and together they let out a fierce cry to resist the king's authority!

In his three-legged form, imbued with his martial spirit, Xiao Hongchen crouched slightly, his blue-green heterochromatic eyes filled with unwavering determination. His back was shaped like a bow, arching out golden protrusions, and he waved dozens of metal balls in his hands.

The first and third soul rings lit up, and within the dazzling golden halo, the metal sphere began to transform, constantly stretching and extending to both sides, evolving into a series of ferocious and thick metal cannon barrels!

First Soul Skill: Metal Control!

Third Soul Skill: Metal Condensation!

As a descendant of a divine beast, the Three-Legged Golden Toad was born with two innate martial soul talents. The first is to absorb metal energy to accelerate cultivation. Although it cannot compare to the terrifying conversion efficiency of mechanical elements, it can still give Xiao Hongchen a slight edge over his twin sister in terms of soul power.

Secondly, there is the ability to control metal. With the soul power of a level 49 Soul Master, Xiao Hongchen can control a total of 64 Soul Guidance Cannons, half of which are level 5 Soul Guidance Devices, far exceeding the number of level 5 Soul Master Wang Shaojie.

Unlike conventional soul-guided cannons, the sixty-four cannons controlled by Xiao Hongchen were actually temporarily formed by combining two soul skills with his martial soul talent.

Those metal spheres are soul-guided core magic arrays, with all sorts of strange and wonderful patterns engraved on them, including explosions, paralysis, flashes, and penetration—all kinds of effects are available. Xiao Hongchen carries a large amount of metal powder with him to facilitate the construction of attack forms for the core magic arrays.

This was a specialized strike tactic he developed after deeply analyzing Lin Qing's combat style, racking his brains for over a dozen nights, and sacrificing a lot of his hair.

Whether it's forcibly controlling the Nine Luminaries or using the Soul Guiding Turret Battle Tactic, the prerequisite for mechanical elements to complete metal erosion is attachment. Although the Three-Legged Golden Toad cannot avoid being interfered with, it can at least withstand it for a longer period of time.

With one person controlling sixty-four soul-guided cannons, Xiao Hongchen's soul power must have been greatly depleted. The few minutes he desperately bought with the help of the three-legged golden toad were enough to burn out all the cannon fire and unleash it on Lin Qing!

"Click, click, click" 7

With a series of metallic clanging sounds, the soul-guided cannon on Xiao Hongchen's back bent and turned forward on its own, the dark cannon barrel aiming at the target and locking onto the silver-gray figure a hundred meters away.

This top-notch control is astonishing; the soul tool is like a living, breathing thing.

Before the emergence of the Ultimate Gold, Xiao Hongchen was undoubtedly the number one monster in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy!

The elemental tsunami surged and roared, and with the dual boost of zero generation and mechanical growth, the bee devoured the abundant energy of the surrounding ultimate gold. The dragon devoured the abyssal maw that was ready to devour people, and twelve level-five soul tools were poised to be unleashed!

After three months of study, Lin Qing benefited greatly from integrating the Sun Moon School's soul guidance theory and successfully broke through to the fifth level of soul guidance master. The first thing he did was to upgrade his commonly used soul guidance devices to the fifth-tier level.

The three-legged toad controls a greater number of soul tools, but its drawback is that it only has one soul tool core array, which is somewhat lacking in individual power. In contrast, the soul tools that Lin Qing meticulously crafted are completely different. Each one is complex and exquisite, and can withstand multiple rounds of quality inspection!

"Boom, boom, boom! There was no way to retreat. The artillery fire was deafening. The two geniuses chose to confront each other head-on!"

The blinding flashes of artillery fire and the deafening roars of explosions intertwined with the soaring dragon's cry and the low growls of beasts, mixed with the sharp, piercing sounds of swarms of bees rushing out of their nests.

The trainees in the audience craned their necks, the teachers on the dais leaned forward, and thousands of eyes stared wide open like copper bells, their pupils reflecting the roaring gunfire of the Zero Test Zone.

Even if someone were to throw sulfuric acid in their face, they wouldn't dare to close their eyes for a second and miss this once-in-a-century battle. Gunfire clashed with gunfire, the alloy earth seemed to be turned over and crushed by an iron plow. The hail of bullets bombarded and crushed it, like two savage beasts with their sharp teeth locked together, tearing each other apart in a wild and violent way. Wherever the residual force reached, the ground was literally lifted up.

Fortunately, the soul-guided shield remained sturdy, ensuring that the shells would not harm innocent personnel. The two, separated by a hundred meters, maintained long-range bombardment and then moved in perfect unison, firing metal bullets from various angles!

Qing Xiao, in a serious state, clearly told everyone why the higher-ups of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy spared no effort in promoting this final.

Their combat power far exceeded their own soul power cultivation; ordinary students could no longer even see where the two had appeared.

The exact angle at which the soul-guided cannon is fired can only be heard through the deafening sound of the exploding shell, inspiring fear in all who hear it.

The clash between the ultimate martial spirit and the divine beast bloodline was absolutely spectacular, and the two opposing fan groups forgot to shout their support for their idol.

Ye Guyi and Meng Hongchen stared intently at the two afterimages weaving through the thick smoke and clouds.

Xiao Meng was greatly surprised. Her brother had actually stood up and squeezed out his maximum potential in the limited few minutes, rolling around like a sandbag without any disguise!

The Mingde Hall disciples' expressions were similar; the terrifying firepower and destructive force displayed by the two amazed everyone present.

The Sun and Moon team members looked at each other, sweating profusely. The two monsters, both under fifteen years old, were astonishing and could easily kick out some of the weaklings among them and secure their place on the team!

The battle intensified, with the two figures shifting rapidly. Xiao Hongchen gritted his teeth, trying his best to keep up with Lin Qing's light and graceful steps.

Those involved know their own situation. On the surface, the three-legged toad withstood the bombardment of mechanical elements and even managed to occasionally launch a counterattack. However, Xiao Hongchen, the person directly involved, had unspeakable suffering.

Lin Qing's every appearance was in a position that was unfavorable to the Three-Legged Golden Toad firing its cannons, as if it were all calculated in advance.

The metal cannon covering his entire body gradually became heavier, and the resentment in Xiao Hongchen's eyes grew stronger.

His path of soul guidance cultivation was already clear: to inherit the tradition of the Hongchen family and become a long-range explosive soul guide master, specializing in the research of all kinds of soul guide cannons.

On the other hand, Lin Qing's future cultivation path is still uncertain. At this moment, he has essentially drawn the card of long-range bombardment from his many control abilities and is handling the three-legged golden toad with ease.

Xiao Hongchen's initial plan was to achieve a quick victory, taking advantage of Lin Qing's failure to immediately unleash his Steel Mechanical Domain to control the battlefield environment, and using the Three-Legged Golden Toad's proud firepower advantage to blast him out of the battlefield in one fell swoop!

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and Xiao Hongchen underestimated the numerical appeal of the ultimate gold.

The sixty-four soul-guided cannons exploded instantly but had little effect. Brother Xiao's situation became extremely passive. He not only had to withstand the bee attacks that came from all directions, but he also had to be careful of Lin Qing activating his innate domain, which was the mechanical element that had all restrictions lifted!

"My soul power is about to run out—"

The three-legged toad's poor endurance gradually became apparent. Xiao Hongchen, unwilling to die in frustration, decided to take a gamble, and his second soul ring shone brightly!

The boiling of metal greatly enhances the activity of soul power, doubles the three-legged golden toad's control over metal, activates the free metal elements around it, and allows them to be swallowed into the body for the three-legged golden toad's use.

Xiao Hongchen's spirit rings were naturally carefully selected by his grandfather, Jing Hongchen. His first and third spirit skills enhanced his martial soul talent, while his second spirit skill, Boiling Gold, was used to replenish his energy and return him to his peak combat power!

Countless golden specks appeared in the sky, surging towards Xiao Hongchen with the force of a vast ocean, as the three-legged toad opened its mouth to receive the golden element.

As the gold element continued to be incorporated, the once-weak three-legged toad regained its former glory, and its sixty-four metal cannons emitted a dazzling light, frantically gathering the vast energy for the second round of shells to bombard the ground.

His heterochromatic blue-green eyes gleamed with a smug smile. The next second, Brother Xiao saw Lin Qing open his palm from afar.

A vast, silvery-white wave swept in, engulfing the gold elements activated by the boiling of gold, leaving only the three-legged toad, which was stuck in a limbo, desperately sticking out its tongue, trying to snatch back a little gold to fill its belly!

An inch stopped, the pain pierced my heart!

"Another robbery!"

Xiao Hongchen was filled with grief and indignation, recalling the various scenes from that night in the metal world.

The self-proclaimed invincible Young Master Xiao refused to believe in evil, so he had a contest to absorb metal. The mechanical element actually pried open the mouth of the three-legged golden toad and squeezed the metal energy out of its throat!

Right now, just like right now!

"The farce is over, laugh."

It is obvious that the mechanical element is still the world's number one gold medal.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Mechanical Incineration."

The jet-black, ten-thousand-year-old soul ring suddenly shone brightly. In the blink of an eye, the gold element that the three-legged golden toad had painstakingly activated was all sublimated into the ultimate gold!

The brilliant molten gold covered the silver-gray base color, and the radiance in Lin Qing's eyes was even more dazzling than the sun in the sky. Mechanical elements moved freely and unrestrainedly, and all the gold elements in the Zero Test Zone were burning themselves, illuminating the path ahead for the master of gold!

Xiao Hongchen's eyes trembled as he helplessly watched the giant spears, Dragon Devour, begin to fuse—one, two, three, four—

The four level-five soul tools were combined into one, resembling a group of dragons coiling around each other, with sunlight descending from the sky, highlighting the supreme majesty of the molten gold dragon head.

A giant dragon of burning molten gold burst from the cannon muzzle, trailing a comet-like trail of blazing flames, charging straight towards Xiao Hongchen!

Dragon Devouring Cannon, Dragon Blast!

"The Sacrifice of Gold!"

Faced with the menacing Dragon Devouring Cannon, Xiao Hongchen revealed his final trump card: the Three-Legged Golden Toad's fourth soul skill, Sacrifice of Gold!

Sacrifice of Gold and Boiling of Gold were originally a combination skill. Sacrificing the gold element activated by Boiling of Gold replenishes the soul power lost by releasing the sixty-four soul cannons, and can also make the power of the soul cannons reach a new peak.

Under Ximen Qing's will, the mechanical element forcibly seized the metal energy summoned by the boiling of gold, leaving the three-legged golden toad with no rice to cook, and forced to sacrifice the sixty-four soul-guided cannons themselves in exchange for a full-force attack!

When faced with a dead end and nowhere to go, Xiao Hongchen has no choice but to fight a desperate battle.

One level-five high-explosive soul-guided cannon was retained, while the remaining sixty-three cannons melted rapidly, with molten metal flowing into their muzzles. His handsome face turned blood red, and his three legs supported his body for balance!

'

The three-legged golden toad phantom shattered, and specks of golden light enveloped the Level 5 high-explosive soul-guided cannon, which then spewed out a distorted ball of crimson-gold light!

"boom!"

Dark clouds loomed over the sky, and almost no part of the Zero Test Zone remained intact. It was as if a raging storm had swept through, with a giant dragon lurking at its heart, its fury raging. The scarred cracks across the ground spoke of the perpetrator's savagery, and the scorched soil beneath the alloy surface was clearly visible!

Two figures could be faintly seen amidst the broken walls and ruins.

The metal pillar pierced through the dark clouds and soared into the sky, supporting Lin Qing, whose clothes were slightly dirty. In the huge circular pit, Xiao Hongchen stood up, covered in dust and dirt, with a trickle of blood flowing from his cheek to his jaw. He wiped it away with his finger and looked up at his unharmed opponent.

As the burning of the weapon ceased, his silver-gray eyes remained calm and unwavering, seemingly offering a silent warning that the gap between them was insurmountable.

"Hoo—My soul power is depleted, and all sixty-four soul-guided cannons have been destroyed, but as long as this body stands, I have not lost!"

Hey ya!!!

In his final dance, Brother Xiao donned the Soul Guidance Thruster and roared out two plumes of white smoke.

A master of ranged combat, bravely choosing melee when he was in a desperate fight, unleashing a Red Dust Flying Kick from below with his golden third leg!

An indomitable opponent is always admirable. With mechanical elements gathered in his legs, Lin Qing leaped into the air and swooped down, unleashing the Mechanical King Flying Kick!
