Core Flame Domain Overlap! One Sword, One Claw Shatter Mecha!
The Mecha emerged from the twilight, its size as massive as a mountain.
The Mecha pilot's voice boomed from the loudspeaker, brimming with undisguised excitement:
"Primary target detected! Attack!"
His figure paused for a moment in mid-air.
"What, number one on the Genius Ranking?"
"This genius, that genius."
"Watch me kill him, then he'll be nothing!"
Bai Yuan didn't answer, but simply continued walking forward.
The enormous shadow approaching him was exceptionally clear in the air.
A light shone forth, and the protagonist's Soul Ring rose.
Black, black, black, black.
Add another fifth Soul Ring, black with gold accents.
It slowly rotates in the air.
The wings of the God Calamity unfolded behind him, beams of feathery light emanating from them and extending forward.
"Watch this! Bombing!"
The Shadow Mecha's hammer was raised to its highest point, dark red energy patterns flowing rapidly across its surface.
The Mecha pilot's voice boomed from the loudspeaker, brimming with undisguised excitement.
It was as if he had already foreseen that the approaching figure would be torn to pieces by his attack.
But Bai Yuan's figure suddenly became erratic at that moment, like smoke blown away by the wind.
"We can't attack him!"
"Are you a mudfish? All you do is run away!"
"Do you dare to fight me head-on?!"
The Mecha pilot's voice echoed in the air, carrying a hint of anger as he struggled to maintain his composure.
His hammer struck empty air, tracing an arc in the air.
He lifted it again and threw it down in the direction he had predicted, but it still missed.
The captain of the Evil Soul Master beside him watched this scene with a gloomy look in his eyes.
That idiot! He sent him to deal with Bai Yuan, not to play a cat-and-mouse game with him.
If you don't listen to me, then don't blame yourself for making you my scapegoat.
I'm here to cause trouble.
We're not here to die!
The leader's gaze lingered briefly on Bai Yuan's still elusive figure before he made his decision.
He took a few steps back.
They began to move silently along the unmarked waterway in the darkness.
Of the thirty-six stratagems, the best is to flee!
Run away!
"How could I possibly lose to a brat like you!"
"Die!"
The Evil Soul Master Mecha charged forward with a ferocious aura that seemed capable of crushing everything in its path.
The two hammers were raised high, turning the surrounding world a blood red.
A heavy sense of power emanated from the air, as if it were about to smash Bai Yuan and the entire space into a discus.
The Shrek members' pupils contracted.
"Careful--!"
Someone shouted, but before the sound had even faded completely, another voice caught up:
"Big Brother Bai, get out of the way!"
Tang Wulin stood at the edge of the carriage, his hand already resting on the edge of the Blue Silver Grass.
But before he could make a move, Bai Yuan had already acted.
Bai Yuan did not retreat.
He charged towards the giant hammer, his right arm sweeping out an arc of light from the Dawn Greatsword.
The hidden Core Flame within him was ignited, coalescing into the unstoppable blade.
"Clang!"
The Dawn Greatsword struck the metal hammer with tremendous force.
A circular shockwave, mixed with shattered turbulent Soul Power, exploded in the night.
Using the recoil from the first collision, Bai Yuan spun around and adjusted his posture.
The giant sword swung again, using centrifugal force, its blade flashing with starlight.
The Evil Soul Master's Mecha was damaged and stumbled backward.
Before it could even stand still, Bai Yuan had already seized the fleeting opportunity.
The combined power of the Dark Gold Bear Claw and the Lion Domain erupted simultaneously, unleashing a single claw strike.
"Whoosh!"
The black armor was as fragile as paper, and a horrifying hole was torn through it.
The Mecha pilot was instantly erased from all traces.
After emitting a hissing malfunction sound, the Mecha exploded!
The Shrek members at the edge of the carriage were stunned.
"Oh my god..."
Someone whispered something, but didn't know what to say in response.
Tang Wulin stood at the front, watching the figure sheathing his sword.
He glanced down at his hands again, his voice carrying an emotion he couldn't quite explain:
"Big Brother Bai... this strength is even greater than what we've seen before."
Xie Xie, who was standing next to him, didn't respond until a long while later.
"Every time I feel like I'm getting closer to him, what he does makes that distance widen again."
When can we be like him?
Bai Yuan didn't linger and turned to walk towards Gu Yuena.
And the teachers there also reaped considerable rewards!
Zhuo Shi led the charge, destroying many Mecha!
More importantly, the core Mecha of the Evil Soul Master have begun to retreat.
Their original plan was to launch a surprise attack!
Unexpectedly, his intentions had already been discovered, and he had been delayed for so long.
If this batch of Mecha is completely wiped out, they will be severely weakened and probably won't be able to get out for a long time.
They cannot accept this outcome!
Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!
Just then, reinforcements from the Star Luo Empire arrived.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz--"
Rows of standard Mecha descended from the depths of the sky, their formation perfectly aligned and their speed incredibly fast.
Half of the Mecha lowered their altitude near the train to protect the wounded below.
The rest continued to accelerate, pursuing the retreating Evil Soul Master Mecha squad.
This attack involved missions from two continents, making it more than just an ordinary ambush.
This is a serious diplomatic incident.
The Star Luo Continent must give the Douluo Continent an explanation.
Otherwise, it's another matter whether he can keep the position he holds.
"Run! Their reinforcements have arrived!"
One of the Evil Soul Master shouted.
Before he could finish speaking, the team leader pressed a button on the control panel.
Several damaged Mecha simultaneously turned around and charged towards the Star Luo Empire Mecha horde, then detonated.
Explosions rang out in succession, and the flames briefly turned the daytime into an aurora borealis as thick smoke spread rapidly.
This concealed the escape route of the remaining Evil Soul Master.
Several Star Luo Empire Mecha were chasing at the front were also forced to stop.
They quickly deployed their defensive formation to withstand the impact of the explosion.
Then the Evil Soul Master Mecha disappeared without a trace.
"How ruthless! He even killed his own comrades!"
The Soul-Guided Special Train was severely damaged and could not continue its journey.
The Star Luo Empire quickly dispatched a limousine to pick up Bai Yuan and his group, along with Mu Ye and the Shrek Academy delegation, and the convoy set off again.
We drove along the highway towards Star Luo City.
The Star Luo Delegation also sent someone to apologize.
The promise is that a clear explanation will be given.
Please let Shrek and his group proceed to Star Luo City without worry.
When we set off again, the sky had already turned dark.
In the darkness, the extended luxury car drove smoothly along the avenue leading to Star Luo City.
Bai Yuan leaned against the car window, his gaze fixed on the night outside.
The attack has come to an end, but the real undercurrents are still flowing deeper.
"Who exactly is attacking us?"
"It couldn't be the Qiangu Family, could it?"
Is it really that crazy?
The lights ahead grew closer, and the outline of a massive city gradually emerged in the night.
The tour guide cleared his throat and glanced at the passengers in the carriage:
"Everyone, our destination this time is the Star Luo Empire First Soul Master Academy."
"Monster Academy"
"You will be spending some time there exchanging ideas in the coming days."
The teacher leading the Shrek team narrowed his eyes slightly.
He addressed the other Shrek students who didn't quite understand.
"Our main exchange this time is with the various academies in the Star Luo Empire, especially this Monster Academy."
The car slowed down, and the view outside the window was changing from the countryside to a neat tree-lined avenue.
The car slowly came to a stop, the doors opened, and a group of people filed out.
Bai Yuan stood by the car, looking up at the academy gate that was now almost in front of him.
The walls are made of bluish-gray stone, and the top of the wrought iron gate is cast a mythical beast with outstretched wings, ready to take flight.
There is a pillar on each side, with intricate patterns carved on its surface.
Behind him, Xie Xie had already gotten out of the car, looking up at the door and then glancing at Bai Yuan:
"This Monster Academy... doesn't it look a bit like Shrek?"
