Douluo: The Peerless Sun and Moon Mechanical God

Chapter 40 The Three-Headed Blood Dragon, a Strange Beast; Lin Qing, a Bit Hot-Blooded; A Low-Level Elf Jumps Out of the Roadside Bush (4K)

High-spec version of the invincible shield!

After silently analyzing the effects of the Azure Sky Moon skill, Lin Qing's expression became clear.

The Invincible Shield uses a golden crystal as its core magic array. As a one-time soul tool, its cost is astronomical.

During the Soul Master Competition, even the world's richest families, such as Mingde Hall, only provided one invincible shield per person.

The strongest invincible shield of this era is only a level seven soul tool, which can withstand the attack of a Super Douluo for three seconds.

The Azure Moon completely replaces the Level 7 Invincible Shield and adds two additional mechanisms: charging and triggering. This prevents Soul Masters from suffering tragic deaths due to insufficient Soul Power or slow reactions.

This shows that the level nine soul master, whom I had never met before, had put a lot of thought into it.

"The Azure Moon is equipped with a mental recognition array, which allows the first owner to probe into the spiritual power and observe and learn the ninth-level soul guidance core array. All others will activate the self-destruct device. Please remember this."

Jing Hongchen solemnly handed Qingtian Biyue to Lin Qing.

The initial plan for the champion of the Red Dust Class selection competition was to give him a high-level defensive soul tool.

Although the Golden Toad Martial Soul Master Jing Hongchen is an explosive-type level nine Soul Master who is skilled in high-powered long-range Soul Guidance Devices and fixed-mount Soul Guidance Cannons, the Mingde Hall Master often has a wide range of interests, and his versatility is something that other level nine Soul Masters do not possess.

One of Jing Hongchen's signature level nine soul tools is a defensive type, named Hongchen Blessing.

The "Red Dust Blessing" effect is similar to "Azure Sky and Jade Moon," but with the addition of a charging trigger effect.

The difference between the two is that the Red Dust Protection absorbs the host's soul power, and its charging time is three times that of the Azure Sky Jade Moon. The strength of the shield depends on the host himself, and it cannot consume the full moon's radiance to withstand a level 95 Super Douluo attack for Lin Qing like the Azure Sky Jade Moon.

The sect leader had to admit that experience still mattered. Qing Tian Bi Yue completely outclassed Hong Chen Bi You. He could never catch up with his teacher in his entire life and could never even touch the edge of a level 10 Soul Master.

Lin Qing gently stroked the cool jade outer shell of the Azure Sky Moon, secretly guessing who the maker was.

Among the ninth-level Soul Masters in the Sun Moon Empire, Jing Hongchen is basically guaranteed to be among the top five and strives for the top three.

Among the powerful figures who could make the Master of Mingde Hall willingly transform into a toad-licker, there was only one.

Silver Moon Douluo, Kong Deming!

Silver Moon Douluo was interested in the ultimate gold, but was unwilling to show himself. He entrusted Jing Hongchen to deliver a level nine defensive soul tool, much like how Bodhi Patriarch tapped Sun Wukong on the head three times with a ruler, implying that he should study Taoism at midnight.

"Could the answer be hidden in the Azure Moon?" Detective A Qing's imagination ran wild. "Let's assume Qing is my name, and Yue represents the title of Silver Moon Douluo."

What day is "天" exactly? And what does this "璧" mean?

At this moment, Lin Qing suddenly shared the same thought with Jing Hongchen. The older generation liked to go in circles, calling it a test of the wisdom of young people!

Little did they know that the flower language of genius is "first come, first served." The pillar of the empire is opening its doors to apprentices; how could we refuse to support you in your old age?

Seeing Lin Qing's delighted expression, Jing Hongchen felt both gratified and relieved. Their bargaining power was increasing, and Lin Qing's bond with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was growing stronger. It was only a matter of time before he would fall in love with the Empire.

With the Azure Sky and Jade Moon protecting them from now on, the safety factor of the Ultimate Gold will soar, and both he and Kong Deming can rest assured.

"Next, we'll award the prizes to the champions of the qualifying competition," Jing Hongchen said with a smile. "Choose any item from the Mingde Hall Black-Grade Treasure Vault and take it home. Take a look at the list."

The Soul Guidance Screen closed, revealing a dazzling array of rare treasures in the table. The reputation of Mingde Hall, whose wealth rivaled that of a nation, resounded throughout the Douluo Continent. Rare metals, exotic flowers and herbs, engraving knives, and ten-thousand-year-old soul bones—the Black-level treasure vault was simply dazzling.

"Dean, I've made my choice."

The mechanical element drew a silver circle, and Jing Hongchen stared at it intently, exclaiming in surprise, "Ten-thousand-year-old Nine Nether Soul-Nourishing Grass nourishes the soul and is of great benefit to the spiritual power of a Soul Master."

I thought you would choose the left arm soul bone of the Ten Thousand Year Golden Iron Beast. It seems you have a clear direction for development, strengthening your mental power which is not adequately addressed by mechanical elements.

"Alright, I'll have Meng bring it to you tomorrow. Just a reminder, the Nine Nether Soul-Nourishing Herb is cold in nature, so it's best to wait until you reach the Fifth Ring Soul King realm before taking it."

"I see."

Lin Qing readily agreed to feed the Nine Nether Soul-Nourishing Grass to Ilex.

"There's one more thing. The champion's reward should have been a soul tool that I made myself. No matter how high the level of Azure Sky Jade Moon is, it's still someone else's work. I never take advantage of others," Jing Hongchen said.

"Aside from your life-saving soul tool, your overall configuration is undoubtedly among the best of the fifth-level soul masters. It would be no exaggeration to describe it as flawless. So after much consideration, I have decided to replace your soul tool with a rare and precious treasure."

After speaking, his short, chubby fingertips brushed against the storage soul tool on the side of the water bucket, and a blood-red crystal appeared in Jing Hongchen's palm. To the naked eye, it looked like a slightly beating heart. The rich fragrance instantly filled the dean's office, and Lin Qing took a few deep breaths, feeling indescribably comfortable.

"Twenty years ago, I led more than ten Mingde Hall Soul Masters to the deep sea to test a batch of special level nine fixed-position Soul Guidance Devices," Jing Hongchen recalled. "The test attracted a blood-red dragon with three heads, whose strength was comparable to a 30,000-year-old Soul Beast."

Of course, for our Soul Master team, a 30,000-year-old Soul Beast was hardly a formidable foe. I personally took action to slay the Flood Dragon.

Then a strange thing happened: the blood-red dragon died without forming a soul ring. We were all puzzled and agreed to dissect the dragon's body to investigate. In the end, we found three brain nuclei inside the dragon's head.

"A strange beast?" Lin Qing frowned slightly.

"Oh, you've heard of it?"

According to unofficial historical records of Douluo Continent, the City of Slaughter gave birth to a strange beast called the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent. The Sea God and the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall joined forces to kill it. Like the Crimson Flood Dragon, it did not give birth to a spirit ring, but instead produced an inner core.

The original Shrek Seven Devils, led by Ma Hongjun, greatly benefited from absorbing the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, and his Evil Fire Phoenix evolved into a Nine-Headed Fire Phoenix.

"The world is vast and full of wonders," Jing Hongchen exclaimed. "It seems that the Three-Headed Blood Dragon and the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent have similar origins, both being deep-sea monsters."

According to Mingdetang researchers, the three brain nuclei contain abundant qi and blood energy, making them highly nourishing when consumed.

Back then, I was already a Title Douluo, but due to limitations in my talent, I had no hope of breaking through to Super Douluo in this lifetime. Therefore, I planned to leave the Blood Dragon Brain Core to my descendants. Xiao and Meng entrusted their hopes to the Hongchen family. Needless to say, this third brain core—

"Xiao Qing, I think the Ultimate Gold is the most suitable Soul Master to absorb it."

"Dean, this is too precious, I am unworthy of it."

The ninth-level soul tool, Azure Sky Jade Moon, is already a rare treasure; it's inappropriate to take Jing Hongchen's private collection as well.

"This hall master is a man of his word, and there has never been a precedent for taking it back. Take it as you wish." The hall master glared, his chubby face displaying the imposing presence of a titled Douluo.

"I heard from Xiaomeng that you promised to make a complete set of level six soul guidance armor for her. That's no small project. If you really feel bad about it, consider this Blood Dragon Brain Core as payment."

Today is the first time we've had a face-to-face conversation since you enrolled.

The dean wants to show you through his actions that the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is the most suitable field for the growth of the ultimate gold in the Douluo Continent. What the Douluo Three Kingdoms can give you, the Sun Moon Empire will give you even more.

The ultimate Soul Master is destined to be famous throughout the world; don't get hung up on the rumors about immigration.

"We must take a long-term view. One day, when the continent is unified, the history books of the Sun and Moon Empire will only record Lin Qing's heroic deeds, his virtue surpassing that of an angel, his merit exceeding that of a sea god."

"—The student will keep the dean's teachings in mind."

The dean's office door slowly closed. The head of Mingde Hall hummed an unknown country tune, thinking he had successfully adapted to local customs, and used the supreme god-level glory of Douluo Three Kingdoms to elevate Lin Qing.

Whether it's the Metal Energy Drink, the Nine Nether Soul-Nourishing Grass, or even the Three-Headed Blood Dragon Brain Core, everything is a bet placed in advance.

Even as the Dean of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Jing Hongchen still harbored a deep-seated ambition to climb even higher.

I firmly believe that under his leadership, Mingde Hall will surpass Shrek Academy and Body Sect, becoming the number one power in Douluo Continent, and the Hongchen Family will also be remembered in history!

The Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's Mimicry Training Grounds, a metal world.

With the arrival of the gold-devouring behemoth, the staff immediately became extremely vigilant, adjusting the level nine soul-guided furnace to its highest operating efficiency, frantically smelting rare metals and converting the metal energy to supply the boundless black hole at the top.

"call----"

Feeling the metallic energy filling his limbs and bones, Lin Qing let out a long sigh of relief. Cultivation is the greatest thing in the world, and every time he comes to the metal world, he returns with a full harvest.

"Oh right, the brain core of the three-headed blood dragon—"

Such rare and precious natural ingredients that nourish qi and blood are extremely rare in the world. Moreover, the Three-Headed Blood Dragon is a rare and precious deep-sea beast. To be honest, Jing Hongchen's generous and magnanimous manner really made Lin Qing's goodwill soar.

If the Hall Master's lifelong wish is to ruthlessly suppress Shrek Academy, then Qing is willing to be the vanguard!

The blood-red brain nucleus feels soft and warm to the touch, like a bouncy boiled egg. It is very soft overall, with a strong gelatinous texture. In fact, the thin skin on the surface of the brain nucleus is extremely tough, and it is by no means easy to crush it.

Such a trivial matter was no challenge for the ultimate Golden Soul Master. He casually tossed the Blood Dragon's brain core into his mouth. The indestructible mechanical element adhered to his teeth, and with a snap, the brain core shattered, and scalding liquid rushed down his throat into his internal organs!

Lin Qing sat cross-legged and entered a meditative state. His body temperature instantly rose, his exposed skin turned a deep red, and wisps of white mist appeared on his forehead, making him look like a steam engine. This caused the top layer of the metal world to heat up rapidly, and the environment became hot.

The energy of the three-headed blood dragon nourished every meridian, and Lin Qing's blood and qi surged, even causing his blood vessels to bulge. Fortunately, his ultimate attribute soul power was exceptionally strong, which protected the meridians that were stretched open by the power of blood and qi.

With his meridians opened up by the flow of Qi and blood, Lin Qing's physical condition improved dramatically. It felt as if he had just barely passed through a narrow crevice, and his situation suddenly became clear. He was full of vigor and his heart was surging with excitement.

Another problem followed. Lin Qing clearly felt a burning sensation. His vigorous blood and energy had nowhere to go, making him feel extremely uncomfortable. He had a tingling, itchy, and hot feeling from the inside out.

"It's getting a bit intense. Is the Three-Headed Blood Dragon a legitimate mythical beast? The last time I felt this way was after eating the whale glue that Sister Little Blue brought home —"

Everything was fine for a moment, then suddenly it went wrong!

Lin Qing's mind immediately raced with images of Huo Yuhao after consuming the Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue and Tang Wulin of the Star Luo Imperial Palace—

A man's temper is fiery!

On the academy path, a man and a woman walked side by side, emerging from the simulated training ground.

"Purple Smoke," the handsome, aloof young man murmured.

"Speak," Jing Ziyan said, her face full of vigilance.

"Let's find a test zone and have a match."

"Are you sick? You got itchy fingers after watching Lin Qing and Xiao Hongchen's duel, huh? If you're so capable, go and challenge them! Why are you taking your anger out on me for no reason?" Jing Ziyan said angrily.

Ji Juechen said coolly, "Since I can't find them, you're the closest to me right now."

"Anyway, I'm not fighting. You can practice your sword against the wooden stake." Jing Ziyan rolled her dead fish eyes.

"It's alright, you don't need to help. My challenge has appeared on its own—"

Ji Juechen's eyes lit up. As if sensing the sword fanatic's devout call, Lin Qing's figure appeared not far away!

"laugh-

'

Without warning, white steam billowed from Lin Qing's back. In a state of excess blood and qi, all the cells in his body began to breathe, and power flowed through his blood vessels like magma, causing his body temperature to rise to a scalding hot temperature, hot enough to fry an egg.

At this moment, Lin Qing desperately wanted to find someone to beat up; a girl would do, but a boy would be best.

Because blood and qi flow to the brain, Lin Qing might not be gentle when he hits, and boys are generally more resilient and can withstand a beating.

Lin Qing clasped his hands together and prayed to the heavens. At the next corner, Xiao Hongchen jumped out from the roadside bushes, stiffening his neck and saying that after the defeat, he opened up his Ren and Du meridians and suddenly comprehended a self-created soul skill.

Let's fight again, risking the ultimate gold and the dignity of the three-legged toad!

However, Xiao Hongchen was still fast asleep in his bedroom, and Lin Qing was amused by his own unrealistic thoughts.

In the dead of night, ambitious students of the Sun and Moon Academy are meditating and cultivating in their dormitories, while couples who are creating effigies are snuggling in bed, whispering sweet nothings. Meanwhile, some bored lunatic is stuck in traffic in the middle of the night, yelling that he wants to fight the Ultimate Martial Soul.

"Swish, swish!"

Immediately afterwards, two figures actually jumped out of the bushes. The sword-wielding youth swept away the coldness of a swordsman and took the initiative to introduce himself: "Ji Juechen of Mingde Hall."

"Request a war!"

"Mingde Hall, Jing Ziyan."

Fearing that Lin Qing might be frightened, Jing Ziyan quickly added, "Junior Brother Lin Qing, we were watching today's finals and were itching to learn from each other, so we came here to exchange skills and offer guidance."

"OK----"

With his wish fulfilled, Lin Qing's mouth stretched into a venomous grin.

"Old Ji, he looks really strange—"

Seeing this, Jing Ziyan swallowed hard, glanced at Lin Qing who was about to explode, her eyes bloodshot, as if she would pounce on him at any moment and swallow them both whole!

"I understand, the thrill of seeing the prey."

Ji Juechen's mind raced, and he explained earnestly, "He's just like me, someone obsessed with fighting!"

Those who share the same ideals are hard to find in a lifetime. Ji Juechen held his sword and bowed, saying in a serious manner, "I have been challenging all kinds of masters for years. This is the first time I have encountered an opponent who agrees to fight decisively. We came out of nowhere, but you accepted all comers. You truly deserve to be the chief disciple of Mingde Hall."

Sword fanatic Ji Juechen requests a challenge!
