Douluo: The Peerless Sun and Moon Mechanical God

Chapter 44 Dragon Gland Thermonuclear Cannon, Ye Yulin: Summon your courage and charge towards the Starry Needle (4K)

In the classroom of the Red Dust Class, thirty students raced against time to create soul guides.

The soul guidance experimental table of Mingde Hall level is an ultimate luxury that ordinary soul guidance masters can only dream of, and using it is a wonderful experience.

"call!"

A puff of metal shavings flew up from her red lips, and Ye Guyi raised her sleeve to wipe the fine beads of sweat from her forehead.

She had mastered the Aurora Sword to perfection, so she didn't need any other offensive soul tools. Therefore, Miss Angel used this opportunity to assist in creating a soul-guided propulsion device to amplify her flight burst speed.

The Soul Guided Thruster was relatively easy to manufacture, and Ye Guyi was the first to complete the small test. Her bright golden eyes looked to the right and saw Lin Qing concentrating and carving with a steady, accurate, and ruthless knife, constantly changing its position to carve the Crimson Demon Essence Gold.

Class teacher Xuan Ziwen stood behind Lin Qing, his eyes bright and focused, his mind immersed in the creation of the soul tool, nodding frequently as Lin Qing's movements flowed smoothly.

The two of them took turns doing one and watched, maintaining a sense of synchronization as model teachers and students for two consecutive hours. When Wang Shaojie and Zimu finished and realized what was happening, their expressions immediately darkened.

Xuan Ziwen was their instructor. He never observed their soul-guiding creation as if he were appreciating the art of a master. He would usually watch for three minutes before stopping, sighing deeply, revealing a sense of helplessness that "how can people be so clumsy."

Silver light shimmered as the carving of the Crimson Demon Gold neared completion. Lin Qing grew increasingly solemn and focused, meticulously refining the core magic array with his carving knife. A faint dragon's roar echoed throughout the Red Dust Classroom.

The core magic array merged into the outer shell of the Fiery Sun Iron, and the dragon's roar suddenly changed, becoming louder and clearer. Blazing white flames shot towards the ceiling, instantly raising the temperature of the entire classroom.

As a soul guide scholar obsessed with research, Xuan Ziwen was even more excited than Lin Qing. He stared intently at the giant soul guide cannon lying in front of him. Its enormous size exceeded the length of the soul guide experimental table, with its head and tail suspended in mid-air. The dragon-shaped cannon body was entirely red gold, beautiful and dazzling, and exuded a powerful aura.

Dragon's gland thermonuclear cannon.

The rooftop soul-guided light illuminated the Dragon Gland Thermonuclear Cannon, revealing its overlapping and intricate soul-guided patterns. Unlike the cold and hard texture of ordinary soul-guided weapons, the Dragon Gland Thermonuclear Cannon radiated astonishing heat.

Crimson Demon Gold and Blazing Sun Iron are both rare fire-attribute metals, so the soul tools created from them naturally possess high-temperature properties.

"Lin Qing, may I touch it, teacher?" Xuan Ziwen could hardly suppress his desire to stroke the Dragon's Gland Thermonuclear Cannon.

Stepping aside, Lin Qing answered the question with his actions. Xuan Ziwen did not refuse or stand on ceremony, and gently stroked the cannon with his palm.

The chief researcher of Mingde Hall is Kong Deming’s favorite next level nine soul master. Xuan Ziwen has been guided by Kong Deming several times. He understands Kong’s manufacturing philosophy and carving techniques. Lin Qing’s handling of details clearly shows Kong Deming’s influence.

Although they were not formally master and disciple, they were in fact master and disciple. Lin Qing had gradually incorporated Kong Deming's century of experience into his own practice. With his extreme talent in mechanical elements, the sublimation of metals caused the life essence of rare metals to leap forward. The soul tools he created could not be measured by their actual level.

When Xuan Ziwen touched the Dragon's Gland Thermonuclear Cannon with his bare hands, he had a strange feeling that the soul tool was breathing slowly, clearly a volcanic dragon that had fallen into a deep sleep!

The Dragon Gland Thermonuclear Cannon is branded with a magnificent pattern of a coiling fire dragon on its side, with rings of crimson-gold light radiating outwards. Inside is the Crimson Demon Essence Gold Soul Guiding Core, where the heat is strongest. Xuan Ziwen paused for a moment, faintly feeling the subtle, scorching dragon breath being emitted.

"High temperature, high pressure, high explosion." Xuan Ziwen used three words to accurately summarize the core functions of the Dragon Gland Thermonuclear Cannon. "It uses Crimson Demon Essence Gold as raw material, is engraved with multiple explosive soul guidance arrays, and uses high-temperature resistant Yangyang Iron for the outer shell to ensure that the soul guidance device will not be destroyed by the heat of the internal explosion."

The ultimate metal activated the rare metal's life force, transforming this soul tool into almost a living metallic creature. Its unique spirituality made its power far surpass that of the invincible super-energy-gathering soul cannon of the same level, and its destructive power in a direct attack was unparalleled.

"Invincible among those of the same level?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hongchen's cheek twitched. These past two days, he couldn't bear to hear the phrase "invincible among peers"—and its near-synonyms!

"Thank you for the compliment, Teacher Xuan," Lin Qing said leisurely. "In the past, I never used any precious rare metals in the soul tools I made. After enrolling in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, I have always planned to make a soul tool that can decide the outcome with a single blow, and today my wish has come true."

"Your work is outstanding. I believe you will definitely become a pillar of the empire." Xuan Ziwen did not hold back his praise.

"Some top-tier soul guidance formations are passed down orally from generation to generation of soul masters and are not taught to outsiders. You must have a special opportunity, so don't miss it and seize this hard-won chance."

Kong Deming generously imparted the Sun Wheel Soul Guiding Formation, the profound meaning of which was self-evident. Xuan Ziwen hinted to Lin Qing to cling to the Sun Moon Empire's strongest thigh and ascend from the novice realm to the fellow Daoist realm and then to the master realm!

"Ring ring—"

""

The bell rang, and Xuan Ziwen, who always opposed extending class time, simply summarized: "The in-class quiz is over. From the cultivation resources generously provided by the academy, you should have felt Dean Hongchen's high expectations for the Hongchen Class."

The afternoon's practical training will take place in Test Zone Zero. Lin Qing will organize everyone to go there for reporting. Starting today, Lin Qing will also serve as the class monitor of the Mortal World Class. Does anyone have any objections?

Everyone turned their heads in unison, focusing on Xiao Hongchen, who had been Lin Qing's equal three months ago. In their first battle, Xiao Hongchen suffered a crushing defeat, leading many Sun Moon students to jokingly call him "Xiao Hongchen the city center." However, some students still supported Xiao Hongchen, calling him a vengeful hero returning home!

"Why are you looking at me? Lin Qing got the highest score in the assessment, so it's only natural that he should be the class monitor." Xiao Hongchen forced a calm expression.

If it were the spirited Xiao Hongchen, he would have charged headlong into Lin Qing's position as class monitor today. But now, Xiao Hongchen has been reduced to Brother Xiao, on the verge of lying down and being ridiculed. He has no interest in rubbing his scalp against the soles of the Qingtian Emperor's shoes.

Xiao Hongchen gave up the challenge, and the others were even less courageous, so they strongly agreed that Lin Qing should take office.

Even though Wang Shaojie looked down on Douluo immigrants because of his royal bloodline, he didn't dare to challenge Lin Qing to a one-on-one real man battle.

After all, Lin Qing dared to use such ruthless methods. The violent elbow strike during the Red Dust Class selection competition was still fresh in everyone's mind. If it weren't for requesting the help of the healing-type Soul Master offered by the royal family, Wang Shaojie would probably be lying at home groaning in pain right now.

"Squad leader—"

Lin Qing, on the contrary, was not interested. He thought the honorary title was not worth mentioning. Could the class monitor really become a member of the Mingde Hall Standing Committee?

Hmm, you can give it a try.

Afternoon, Test Zone Zero.

After enjoying a sumptuous, privately prepared lunch, all thirty students, feeling full, stepped into Test Zone Zero, eagerly anticipating the arrival of their Level 9 Soul Mentor, who would be their guest instructor on the first day of school.

Starlight descended upon the earth, and the bald old man smiled and said, "Greetings, fellow students of the Mortal World Class. I am your practical instructor for today, Ye Yulin."

Starry Sky Douluo Ye Yulin!

Recently, Ye Yulin and Jing Hongchen have shared joys and sorrows, and the relationship between the two level-nine soul masters has progressed rapidly, almost like old friends.

The two became close friends through rowing, and it was only natural for the Hall Master to invite Starry Sky Douluo to fire the first shot in teaching a level nine Soul Master.

"What you learn from books is never enough. Whether you are a Soul Master or a Soul Instructor, actual combat is always an important part of your training. My duty is to find ways to train your combat skills."

Ye Yulin took out a list of students and said bluntly, "This afternoon, I will divide the Red Dust Class into ten groups of three students each, so that we can work together as one."

Group 1: Ye Guyi, Meng Hongchen, Keke.

The second group consists of Nana, Lan Xiu, and Tang Gang.

Group 10: Lin Qing, Xiao Hongchen, Ju Zi.

The thirty students looked at each other, staring at each other in disbelief. Starry Sky Douluo was definitely doing this on purpose, breaking up all the close student groups!

"The first group will enter the battle; the remaining trainees will retreat to the spectator stands."

Starry Sky Douluo called the Red Dust Class to take their positions. For some reason, Lin Qing noticed a strange excitement in the bald old man's turbulent eyes, as if he was preparing a whole basket of ruthless tasks, just waiting to torture the weak and helpless lab rats!

Ye Guyi, Meng Hongchen, and Keke, three female students, made a dashing entrance. They are all combat-type Soul Instructors, each with their own strengths, making them the second-best team among the ten teams in the Hongchen Class, second only to Qingxiao's combined efforts.

"Objective: Destroy all high-altitude soul tools. Training commences!"

Ye Yulin's slightly unrestrained laughter echoed across the sky. With a flick of her wrist, clusters of shimmering silver light rose into the clouds, making the daytime sky seem to have gained many morning stars!

"The Divine Needle of the Stars!"

Meng Hongchen looked up, his icy blue pupils suddenly dilating.

The Starry Sky Needle is a level-five soul tool that made Ye Yulin, the Starry Sky Douluo, famous. The level-nine soul tools, the Sun Needle and the Sun and Moon Needle, are both improved versions of the Starry Sky Needle. The Starry Sky Needle is a miniature version of the Sun and Moon Needle, with excellent high-altitude attack effects!

The Starry Needles hung high in the sky, numbering nearly a hundred. However, Ye Yulin had no intention of stopping. Two purplish-black spheres followed closely behind, their demonic eyeballs shining brightly against the backdrop of the magnificent starry sky.

Level 7 Soul Tool, Eye of Fear!

It's also a signature high-altitude soul tool!

With the help of a hundred star needles as cover, the Eye of Fear at Level 7 can take down an opponent one by one. Not to mention that there are only three girls on the field at the moment, even if the students of the Red Dust Class went up side by side, they would still have to fight a tough battle.

"Dreams and the Eyes of Fear pose a huge threat. We must take them out first. We'll each take one. Keke, you're in charge of providing cover fire," Ye Guyi arranged the tactics.

"good!"

Meng Hongchen and Keke are experienced in combat. Thanks to the Hongchen Class Challenge, they have a preliminary understanding of their teammates' strengths and can quickly reach a consensus.

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

White wings burst forth from its back, and a level-four soul-guided propulsion system spewed out golden flames, propelling Ye Guyi into the sky like a streak of light. Not to be outdone, Meng Hongchen, wielding an ice-blue slender sword, activated her soul-guided flying vehicle, unwilling to fall behind Lin Qing.

Instead of flying, Keke sat down on the spot, and thick metal cannons emerged from her petite body, instantly transforming her into a ferocious metal hedgehog. She activated the strongest burst technique of a Soul Master: the Soul Guidance Cannon Turret Battle Technique!

Yi Meng intruded into the high-altitude territory, the Star Needle's sharp alarm sounded, a blood-red mark locked onto the two women, and star rays swept in all directions!

"Boom—"

A hundred level-five soul tools launched their attack simultaneously. The silver rays were swift and fierce, and the brilliant light blotted out the sky. Keke was dumbfounded. Her ground-to-air attack was like throwing an egg against a rock. The firepower of the soul tool turret was overwhelmed by the rays.

Keke's support was in vain, and she also inadvertently caused trouble for Meng Hongchen. The Starry Divine Needle is a cold soul-guided weapon, and Zhu Qing's Ice Toad, which is full of poison, was useless. The close-combat assassin died before he could even begin his mission, and was eventually rescued from the battlefield by Ye Yulin.

With two teammates eliminated, only Platinum Flowing Light remained, maneuvering and dodging. Ye Guyi's aerial combat skills were unmatched in the Red Dust Class. In the confined space, she narrowly escaped the ray, her Aurora Sword slicing through the Starry Needles along the way, rushing towards the Level 7 Eye of Fear!

The next second, the demon's eyeball burst into a fierce light, and two level-seven fear rays shot out one after the other, bombarding the continuously advancing Ye Guyi!

With no way to avoid it, the Fear Ray and the Star Needle combined perfectly to completely block Ye Guyi's escape routes, and Miss Angel lost her first aerial battle!

"Young lady, my high-altitude soul-guided device is quite powerful, isn't it?"

Ye Yulin rescued Ye Guyi and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, deliberately trying to create the aura of a powerful level nine soul master. However, his bald head somewhat ruined the atmosphere, reflecting the sunlight falling from the sky like a light bulb.

"Very strong————"

Ye Guyi's golden eyes burned with fervor. It was true that she was pure and simple-minded, but she was also an incredibly intelligent girl. She realized just how terrifying the power would be when the Holy Angel was combined with the high-altitude soul tool.

"We're from the same clan. Let's meet at the library this weekend, my old friend, and I'll teach you a few tricks," Ye Yulin said with a smile.

"Thank you very much, Senior Starry Sky!"

Ye Guyi hurriedly clasped her hands in greeting and accepted the goodwill conveyed by the level nine soul master. The confusing path of the soul master gradually became clear, and the holy angel and the high-altitude soul master complemented each other!

"The second group is here!"

Having successfully achieved his goal, Ye Yulin was overjoyed, secretly pleased that his skills had a successor. He then ordered the second team to get beaten up.

Nana, Lan Xiu, and Tang Gang's behavior was even more appalling.

Nana struggled twice, but the salted fish was still a salted fish no matter how it flipped over. Gu Zhu's double pole vault looked like a clown's, and Tang Gang couldn't even touch the metal edge of the Starry Needle.

Just like Ye Men using a high-altitude soul guide device, Ye Yulin easily broke through the Nine Luminaries' coordinated attack.

The Red Dust Class team cautiously entered Test Zone Zero to face Ye Yulin. It was as if they were facing a Soul Master version of Ye Guyi. Giving up aerial combat was tantamount to slow suicide, while participating in aerial combat would put them at a significant disadvantage. They were caught between two thorns, and they had to choose between chocolate-flavored shit and shit-flavored chocolate.

"Group Nine!"

Three figures stood trembling on the metal ground of the test area. When they saw the starry needles poised to strike in the sky, the intense fear made them go limp and turn them into boneless chicken strips!

"What a cowardly expression!"

"And what are those tears of fear?!"

Starry Sky Douluo descended from the sky, spread his arms, and roared, "The most outstanding young people of the Sun Moon Empire! The original intention of the academy in establishing the Red Dust Class was to cultivate you into level nine soul masters like me!"

Children, the future of the Sun and Moon Empire belongs to those who come after! Summon your fearless courage and charge towards the Starry Needle!
