Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King

Page 212

On the Douluo Continent, soul beasts are now scarce, making it extremely difficult to obtain soul bones. Any major family that has a soul bone passed down through generations will consider it their most precious treasure and will certainly keep it strictly confidential.

Although the situation in the Star Luo Continent is different from that in the Douluo Continent, the rarity of soul bones is by no means as common as they used to be.

Zui Hongchen looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping on their conversation before whispering, "I have some inside information. The soul bone that will be awarded as a prize in this competition is a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone, and it's even a true dragon's soul bone."

Upon hearing this, even Lu Fa was surprised. The Star Luo Empire was really going all out! A ten-thousand-year-old soul bone was one thing, but it was actually a true dragon's soul bone.

A true dragon—this is an existence that stands at the very top of the pyramid of soul beast bloodlines.

A true dragon soul bone of ten thousand years is worth no less than a normal one hundred thousand years soul bone. That's how valuable the words "true dragon" truly are.

"It seems they are very confident about winning the championship." Xue Liushuang began to analyze. It was remarkable that the Star Luo Empire would bring out such a valuable item and even take the initiative to invite them to participate.

She didn't believe that the people of the Star Luo Empire would be so kind as to send them soul bones. The fact that they were willing to do this clearly showed they were determined to win the championship.

"It doesn't matter, we'll deal with whatever comes our way." Zui Hongchen patted his chest. "With Brother Lufa here, we'll definitely make those guys from the Star Luo Empire lose both their wives and their troops."

Chapter 325 Green Skull

Meanwhile, the Shrek Academy students were also seated in groups of four.

Next to Nan Fusheng was Xu Xiaoyan, and opposite them were Fors and Na'er. It was unclear when, but after becoming familiar with Nan Fusheng and the other two on the cruise ship, Na'er had stopped actively seeking out Tang Wulin.

Like a younger sister going through puberty and not wanting to cling to her older brother all the time. Because Tang Wulin believed that Nan Fusheng and the other two could take good care of Na'er, he began to focus on his cultivation.

After all, back in Shrek City, Na'er often played with Nan Fusheng, Xu Xiaoyan, and Fors, and they were already quite familiar with each other.

At this moment, Na'er has been eating non-stop ever since she got on the bus. Despite being a super beautiful girl, Na'er doesn't care about her image at all.

Na'er's actions clearly attracted a lot of attention. After all, Nan Fusheng's seats were packed with pretty girls.

Both Fors and Na'er were strikingly beautiful. When they sat together, one with black hair and the other with silver, their contrasting hair and eye colors were incredibly eye-catching.

"Oh?"

Suddenly, Nan Fusheng's gaze sharpened, and Fors, who was opposite him, also noticed his unusual behavior and turned his gaze to the window of the soul-guided train.

Outside the car window, a black dot could be seen moving rapidly through the distant sky.

"Mecha?"

After a brief mental scan, the two discovered that the objects were mechs, and their designs were distinctly different from those in the Douluo Continent.

In the Douluo Continent, the soul-guided mechs are mostly humanoid, but the mechs that appeared before the two of them were all different in shape, resembling various beasts, which was very strange.

"An enemy?"

Nan Fusheng's spiritual power had reached the Divine Origin Realm, so he could perceive more things. For example, the mechs were emanating a strong sense of malice, and the soul-guided cannons on the mechs were poised to fire.

However, Nan Fusheng remained calm, seemingly unconcerned.

The next moment, dots of light lit up on the mechs, and the soul-guided cannons were fired.

"Enemy attack!" Tang Wulin suddenly shouted, jumping up from his seat. He hadn't sensed the mechs with his mental power; he had simply noticed the scene while admiring the scenery.

He wasn't the only one who reacted; a chilling aura suddenly emanated from the seat in front, followed by a cold light sweeping across the top of the carriage.

Suddenly, a car appeared above everyone's heads, and the roof of the carriage was ripped off. Immediately afterwards, a strong wind howled in.

Nan Fusheng remained completely calm, casually taking a sip of his milk tea. Xu Xiaoyan, who had been somewhat nervous after hearing Tang Wulin's warning, suddenly calmed down upon seeing his reaction.

Wu Changkong swiftly grabbed Tang Wulin, his toes barely touching the ground as he leaped into the air. Tang Wulin, meanwhile, prepared to unleash his martial spirit to pull his companions back.

"Humph!"

But just then, a cold snort rang out. Then, a golden light rapidly expanded in all directions, and the incoming soul-guided cannonballs abruptly stopped some distance from the train.

The light on the soul-guided cannonball began to dim, and finally went out like a dud.

At the same moment, because the roof of their carriage had been blown off, the people inside reacted quickly and activated their defensive stances. One by one, spirit rings began to rise.

At the same time, they also clearly saw where the attacking enemy was! It was a large army composed of mechs.

There were over a hundred mechs attacking, and the lead mech was strikingly red!

However, unlike Mu Ye's red mecha, this red mecha resembled a hawk, with its wings spread wide and incredibly fast. Almost simultaneously with the arrival of the soul-guided cannonballs, it had already appeared above the soul-guided train.

However, when they saw the soul-guided train emitting a golden light, and then the soul-guided cannonballs seemed to go silent.

The red mech froze, its movements abruptly halting. Having already prepared for an attack, its boosters blazed brightly as it tried to quickly distance itself from the soul-guided train.

"I didn't expect that what was supposed to be a simple exchange activity would turn into so many problems. Since you're already here, why don't you stay?"

Ao Hongchen's cold voice came from the Soul Guidance Train. Although he had a premonition that their Douluo Federation exchange group might be attacked after arriving in the Star Luo Continent, he did not expect the other party to act so quickly.

They were attacked on their second day of arrival, and the fact that they were able to gather so many mechs shows that the enemy's preparations were definitely not something that had been going on for just a day or two.

It's important to know that this special train was carrying quite a few members of the delegation from the Douluo Continent!

After the delegation entered the Star Luo Continent, although they dispersed in the coastal city, at least half of them were heading to Star Luo City, and they were all on this Soul Guidance Train.

The attackers' precise timing and precision in their attack suggest they had been planning this for a long time. Unfortunately, their intelligence network seems to be severely lacking; they didn't even realize that a Limit Douluo was in the car before daring to launch their attack.

"A god-level mech, that's a pretty good acquisition."

Golden light appeared on Ao Hongchen's body, and the four-word battle armor, "Hongchen Undying," appeared. This time, they were not in the sea, and Lu Fa and the others were also protected by Dang Hongchen, so he didn't need to worry about anything.

Last time at sea, he didn't choose to continue because he was worried that the sea spirit beasts would fight to the death and threaten the safety of the cruise ship.

But what are these attackers? This isn't the ocean. Even if the train is destroyed, it wouldn't be difficult to take them away with the ability to move through the mortal realm.

Furthermore, because they were an exchange mission, the Star Luo Continent also dispatched mechs to protect their safety.

With neither geographical advantage nor popular support, Ao Hongchen naturally had to deal with these attackers properly.

At the same time, the roofs of the Soul Guidance Train broke open one after another, and figures rushed out quickly.

At that moment, soul guides of various colors shone brightly. One after another, mechas quickly rushed out of the soul guide train. They were the Star Luo Empire mecha guards responsible for escorting the envoys this time.

The vast majority of these mechs were purple-level mechs, with four black-level mechs, totaling as many as thirty. They all took to the air, simultaneously unleashing beams of soul-guided rays to block the enemies.

"The Green Skull Rebellion?"

Ao Hongchen narrowed his eyes and glanced at the Star Luo Empire's mecha guard. In a flash, he recognized the attackers.

The Green Skull Resistance Organization is an organization defined as terrorist by the Star Luo Empire. Most of its members are people who are dissatisfied with the rule of the Star Luo Empire, and the higher-ups are natives of the original Star Luo Continent.

They have always hated the Star Luo Empire's invasion, fantasizing that one day they could overthrow their rule, destroy the Star Luo Empire, and rebuild a country ruled by their native inhabitants.

Of course, the Green Skull organization doesn't have that capability yet, so they can only cause destruction and carry out terrorist attacks to weaken the Star Luo Empire's strength.

"If you had only attacked the people of the Star Luo Empire, I could have pretended not to see it. But since you dared to attack us, I will make you pay a price today, or I will change my name."

Nine spirit rings, six black and three red, rose from beneath Ao Hongchen's feet, and dazzling golden light emanated from his body.

The red mech in the air felt an even more terrifying pressure coming at it. The mech pilot inside couldn't help but gasp for breath, his heart filled with immense horror. He could feel that the connection between himself and the mech was beginning to weaken.

This is precisely the power of the top-tier martial soul: the Three-Legged Golden Toad, capable of manipulating all metal elements. No matter how extraordinary a god-level mecha may be, it is still made of metal.

With Ao Hongchen's cultivation level and the amplification from his battle armor, influencing this mech wouldn't be difficult. In fact, due to Ao Hongchen's influence, some mechs in the distance showed signs of malfunctioning.

This was only because Ao Hongchen focused his attention on the god-level mechs; otherwise, not to mention the black-level mechs, the purple-level and lower-level mechs would have been instantly paralyzed.

As an arms supplier for the Douluo Federation, the Hongchen family must have some tricks up their sleeve. The Three-Legged Golden Toad Martial Soul is one of their family's strengths, possessing a natural advantage against mechs.

Kato Taka is one of the top leaders in the Green Skull resistance organization. He is over eighty years old, which is not young for a Soul Master. His cultivation level has reached the Soul Douluo level, and he is also a three-word Battle Armor Master.

Feeling hopeless about breaking through to the Title Douluo level in his lifetime, he focused all his energy on mecha, striving for a breakthrough. After embarking on the path of a mecha pilot, he became completely immersed in it.

Those who can become god-level mecha pilots all possess an immense passion for mecha. For them, mecha are practically their second companions.

Kato Taka's real name is not Kato Taka. He changed his name to Kato Taka because his mecha looks like a hawk. This shows how much he loves mecha.

To this end, he even went to learn a second job. Originally, Kato Taka was a mecha designer, but he specially switched to mecha repairman so that he could better maintain his mecha.

Since becoming an immersive mecha pilot, Kato Taka has come to realize just how foolish he had been before.

While Battle Armor Masters are indeed powerful, how can the power of an individual Soul Master compare to the power of technology? Mecha technology has been constantly advancing, and he believes that one day mecha will surpass Battle Armor and become the most powerful existence.

At the age of forty-four, he defeated numerous rivals within the organization and finally obtained his own Red-level mech, thus becoming one of the organization's top leaders. That time, he slept in the Red-level mech for three days and three nights straight.

His goal is to become the most powerful mecha pilot on the Star Luo Continent, without exception.

He has been working towards this goal all along.

This operation was planned in advance; the organization intended to use its overwhelming strength to attack the delegation from Douluo Continent.

The Star Luo Empire is powerful, and the resistance organizations are struggling to survive. They need external forces to divert the government's attention, thus giving them more time to grow and room to survive.

Undoubtedly, the pressure from the Douluo Continent will be the most troublesome for the Star Luo Empire. Therefore, their mission this time is to destroy the entire Douluo Continent delegation, thereby inciting conflict between the two continents.

Their raid was conducted with strict secrecy. Before it began, all communications were blocked, and most people didn't even know what the objective was.

They launched a long-range attack using fixed-mount soul-guided shells, directly bombarding the soul-guided train, and used special shells that could block radar signals.

Unexpectedly, the operation was thwarted from the very beginning. A powerful figure within the delegation was able to single-handedly block their attacks. Now, even he himself is in dire straits.

"Move!"

Inside the red mecha, Kato Taka roared, his mental energy bursting forth as he tried to strengthen his connection with the mecha in order to break free from Ao Hongchen's shackles.

The next moment, Kato Taka moved, ejecting himself directly from the cockpit of the red mecha.

"No, Xiao Kong!"

Kato Hawkeye's eyes widened in fury. It wasn't him who controlled the ejection; it was the god-level mecha that launched him out on its own.
