Douluo Continent: Not enough bloodline? Make up for it with brains

Chapter 109 Starry Sky (Please subscribe!!!)

Xu Yuan was certainly not naive enough to think that he could devour the energy of the Abyss Plane after thoroughly studying the methods of refining the power of the primordial stars.

For six thousand years, no Soul Master has followed the purest path of the stars, but is there not a single Soul Master who has been able to refine the original power of the stars?

That's impossible.

However, even if one can refine the most primal power, it is impossible to refine the energy of another plane, especially a plane like the Abyss, where the primordial imprint is almost completely integrated with the energy within it.

The Abyss is an energy plane. Every wisp of energy is the essence of the Abyss, containing its origin.

Even with the ability to refine the most primordial stellar power, it is impossible to extract the opponent's essence from the abyss. This is the biggest dilemma facing Douluo Star in the face of the abyss.

The abyss can devour the vital energy of the Douluo Continent, but the Douluo plane cannot devour even a tiny bit of energy in return.

This stalemate lasted for a full six thousand years, and the Douluo Continent had declined to its extreme.

Xu Yuan estimated that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Douluo Continent itself would truly begin to regress after a period of time.

This process is also likely to be irreversible.

Back to topic.

Xu Yuan slowly stepped forward and received a warm welcome from the second-grade teacher.

"Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

"Teacher, I've enrolled in the second-year mecha piloting class. Shouldn't the classes be held here?" Xu Yuan took out Wu Changkong's certificate and politely inquired to confirm that this was indeed the mecha piloting classroom.

Xingyu looked embarrassed.

This is indeed where classes are held, although there are only three people here.

"You're only a first-year student. You can definitely wait until next semester to learn how to operate mechs. Are you sure you want to start learning now?" Xingyu frowned, looking at Xu Yuan, and asked very seriously.

Although he was happy to have new students attending his lectures and welcomed a new junior student who was interested in mecha, he also had to remind this junior student that graduation was the key.

If first-year students waste time on mecha piloting right after entering school, it could seriously hinder their normal training.

Xu Yuan sensed Xingyu's helplessness when he heard Xingyu's question.

If someone comes to your class, do you still have to worry that they might become distracted and neglect their studies because of your class?

Is this the current state of mechs at Shrek Academy?

Although mecha pilots are much weaker than battle armor pilots, they have always been a considerable force on the continent. Apart from those who possess four-word battle armor forged from celestial metal, the overall strength of mecha pilots is no weaker than that of battle armor pilots.

Without material limitations, mech pilots will only be more powerful than battle armor pilots.

Although these assumptions are funny, they are also true.

Mechs do have room for further development.

"Senior, my professor approved this certificate for me, are you still worried about this?"

Xingyu suddenly realized this.

"Well then, welcome to the mecha piloting course. I am the teacher of the second-year mecha piloting course, and also your senior. My name is Xingyu, and I graduated from the Inner Academy five years ago."

Graduated five years ago?

"Strictly speaking, your dance teacher and I were in the same year of the inner academy. I'm three years older than him."

Being able to enter the Inner Academy is already an achievement, making one of the top talents on the entire continent. After all, the requirements for the Inner Academy are extremely demanding. Becoming a Battle Armor Master before the age of twenty-five is a talent that any power would absolutely want to nurture, and such individuals could potentially become the top combat force of that power in the future.

Xingyu was able to enter the Inner Academy, which means he must have become a Battle Armor Master before the age of twenty-five. Wu Changkong, who entered the Inner Academy in the same year, is three years younger than him, which means that Wu Changkong must have become a Battle Armor Master before the age of twenty-two.

No, it might have been even earlier.

Xu Yuan could sense the powerful soul energy fluctuations emanating from the senior student named Xingyu in front of him.

This surge of soul power was stronger than Shen Yi's and more powerful than Wu Changkong's.

"Senior, may I ask about your current soul power level?" Xu Yuan asked curiously.

Only three years older, and Wu Changkong was just in a slump for a while, how could there be such a big difference?

Xingyu hadn't expected Xu Yuan to be curious about this, and didn't have any intention of hiding anything.

"I just obtained my eighth spirit ring, making me an eighty-one-level Soul Douluo," he said with a smile.

Xu Yuan clicked his tongue.

Contra.

Teacher Wu, look, look! All your classmates from the same year have reached the Soul Douluo level, and you've only just broken through to Soul Saint.

Although he's three years older, Wu Changkong and this senior Xingyu entered the inner academy at the same time with that three-year age difference. Since he's ten levels behind, it means he's indeed wasted too much time these past few years, causing his previous advantage to be gradually overtaken.

"Senior Xingyu, I'll be learning mecha piloting from you from now on."

Xu Yuan did not address his teacher as such.

Since I'm just here to audit the class, and he's a senior, calling him "senior" won't hurt me; it might even help us get closer.

Contra, a mecha pilot, is also a Battle Armor Master because he is an inner student of Shrek Academy.

These three points combined demonstrate that this senior student, Xingyu, is definitely not an ordinary person.

He's pursuing three paths simultaneously, and his talent is exceptional.

"I'm also very happy that a new junior wants to learn mecha." Xingyu smiled brightly.

He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Junior, your name is Xu Yuan, right? I haven't asked you yet what your goal is in learning mecha?"

"Of course, I want to become a mecha pilot, and continue to study mecha in the future to become the top mecha pilot," Xu Yuan said earnestly.

Xingyu nodded repeatedly.

Yes, that's right.

He turned to look at the other two students and glared at them.

The two second-year students were speechless and shrugged.

There was no other way; the two of them were just there to earn credits and learn about mecha so they could use it for transportation in the future.

Mechs are much more convenient than soul-guided cars. Their families are well-off and can afford to equip themselves with mechs, which is why they thought that way.

"Junior, don't you think that researching mecha will interfere with your normal training and the production of your battle armor?" Xingyu asked.

"No, true geniuses only learn more and more, and their knowledge will complement each other. I believe this also applies to mecha and battle armor," Xu Yuan said calmly.

Battle Armor originated from mecha; its true technology was a simplification of mecha. However, Battle Armor had its prototype before the development of mecha.

Ten thousand years ago, Mingde Hall possessed the ability to manufacture soul tool armor, but the enhancement was limited. According to the original soul tool level system, it could only produce a complete set of soul tool armor with a maximum level of six.

Moreover, the original soul tool armor only had a pure amplification effect, and it did not have the effect of the current battle armor being integrated into the soul master's martial soul and truly equipped on the martial soul.

However, there is no doubt that the prototype of battle armor was this kind of soul tool armor.

However, it cannot be denied that Battle Armor is a simplified version of mecha.

At the same time, there is another point, which is that the development of mechs initially incorporated related technologies of soul-guided armor.

It can be said that battle armor and mechs have always been intertwined and complementary since their birth and development.

"Well said!" Xingyu smiled brightly.

I met a junior student with high moral character.

"Junior, because of what you said, you can ask me any questions you have about making your mecha!" Xingyu said generously.
