"Your Highness..."
The Royal Guards had originally planned to notify the emperor.
After all, Tang Wulin wasn't an ordinary person.
The Tang Sect stood behind him.
And on top of that, he had won the Five Gods War.
Tang Wulin's strength had already earned the recognition of the vast majority of the Star Luo Empire's people.
More importantly...
After last night's tutelage from the Bedside Douluo, Tang Wulin had reached level 90 today and become a Titled Douluo.
The emperor of the Star Luo Empire had originally wanted to do everything he could to keep this young genius.
But he hadn't expected his own daughter to ruin the whole atmosphere!
"Father, I want to break off my engagement with Tang Wulin!"
"Your daughter has found a man who's better than him!"
Well, then!
Never underestimate the pride of a tsundere princess.
Luo Feng had originally thought that his new girlfriend beside him was pretty even-tempered.
But he hadn't expected that, the moment Tang Wulin appeared before them...
The little princess would fly into a rage again.
She even deliberately linked her arm through Luo Feng's.
As if flaunting her triumph, she came over to Tang Wulin and Gu Yue.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Even with the princess backing him, he couldn't forget his manners.
Besides, Luo Feng was still wearing the Star Luo Empire's combat uniform.
"This young man is from the First Legion?"
Seeing the familiar uniform, the emperor immediately recognized who he was.
But he didn't seem familiar with the young man.
He probably wasn't a noble, was he?
Dai Yun'er didn't give her father time to react.
Instead, she gave the new prince consort beside her a shove forward.
"Father, you should take a look at A-Feng's mecha! It's far better than some Three-Word Battle Armor Master's!"
Like most young women, the princess wanted her new boyfriend to make a good impression on her father.
Better yet, she wanted him to outshine Tang Wulin.
Only then could she prove that she'd made the right choice.
Tang Wulin hadn't originally intended to stoop to the princess's level.
After all, the two of them had already made everything clear.
But Gu Yue, standing beside him, wasn't having it.
"Oh? Your Highness thinks this mecha pilot beside you can measure up to my Wulin?"
Under normal circumstances, neither Luo Feng nor Tang Wulin would have fought over a woman.
Especially not in front of the emperor of the Star Luo Empire.
But the two women beside them were different. They'd already squared off!
"Of course! My judgment is never wrong. If you don't believe me, you can have A-Feng compete against you!"
Well, then.
So you're throwing me under the cart, huh?
You want me to fight the protagonist of Legend of the Dragon King?
What are you thinking?
But before Luo Feng could refuse, Gu Yue on the other side had already accepted the challenge on Tang Wulin's behalf!
"Sure! Even if your new boyfriend has a red mecha, he still won't be a match for a Three-Word Battle Armor!"
Gu Yue wasn't just saying that out of spite.
With the foundation of a Titled Douluo and a Three-Word Battle Armor, his fighting strength could rival that of a Limit Douluo.
"Your Highness, I..."
Realizing he'd been sold out, Luo Feng had wanted to argue.
But before he could finish, a stabbing pain shot through his lower back.
This unruly princess was just like the one in the original story!
"I don't care! You have to fight him, or I'll tell Father you kissed me!"
She spoke so softly that only the two of them could hear.
Luo Feng was immediately caught between a rock and a hard place.
Other girls might not have done something like that.
But Dai Yun'er definitely would.
"Fine, fine! I'll do it, all right?"
"BT!"
With no choice, Luo Feng summoned his Titan.
As luck would have it, Gu Yue, who'd seemed so gentle, was doing the very same thing.
She kept shoving her beloved Tang Wulin forward, until he could only shake his head.
He faced Luo Feng with a bitter expression.
"Then please, brother, teach me a thing or two!"
As he spoke, a powerful Soul Power that only a Titled Douluo could possess surged from him.
Sure enough, there was a huge difference between a level 89 Soul Douluo and a level 90 Titled Douluo.
Luo Feng's vision blurred.
The Three-Word Battle Armor across from him had already equipped itself.
What did the process look like again?
A bit like the Saint Seiya putting on their armor.
Thankfully, Tang Wulin hadn't yet fully brought out all four words of the Golden Dragon Moon Language.
In theory, Luo Feng still had a chance.
At about the same time, the Vanguard Titan landed beside Luo Feng.
It opened its cockpit.
A mechanical arm reached out and grabbed Luo Feng!
[Pilot, I've got you!] [This opponent is no ordinary foe. We'll need to take this seriously!]
"Wait! My boyfriend's mecha hasn't replenished its ammunition yet!"
As if she'd remembered the Titan's special characteristics, the overbearing princess actually called for a pause.
She turned to a nearby guard and rattled off something Luo Feng couldn't understand.
Two people hurried into the storeroom behind them, then came running back in less than a minute.
Each of them carried a different number of yellow and red Soul Spirits.
These weren't natural Soul Spirits. They'd been purchased from the Spirit Pagoda.
They'd originally been meant for Royal Guards who met the requirements.
But today, the Titan was the one who benefited.
[Pilot, I feel like I'm ready to go again. These energy bodies are enough for me to fire level five or six Soul Guidance Cannons.]
Sure enough.
As long as it had enough Soul Spirits, whether natural or artificial, the Vanguard Titan could convert them into terrifying Soul Guidance Cannons.
"Clack, clack, clack!"
After a thoroughly satisfying round of reloading, Luo Feng felt like he was ready to go again.
"All right, BT. Let's head outside and teach them a good lesson!"
Seeing the strange mecha fly outside, Tang Wulin immediately followed.
But after he'd taken only a few steps, Gu Yue suddenly grabbed his left arm!
"Be careful. I feel like this mecha is different from the others. Whatever you do, don't let it get close!"
Gu Yue truly lived up to her title as the Silver Dragon King.
She had a godlike instinct for sensing unknown dangers.
But Tang Wulin clearly didn't take her warning too seriously.
He gently patted his beloved's shoulder.
"It's fine. I made it through the Five Gods War. I'll be careful not to overdo it."
Tang Wulin wasn't usually the type to underestimate his opponents.
But since he'd suddenly become a Titled Douluo last night, he was feeling a little cocky.
He'd soon learn better.
The Vanguard Titan wasn't an ordinary mecha.
Once its weapons were ready, it could achieve a 100% hit rate on targets in the air or on the ground!
"Boom!"
Sure enough.
The moment they flew out the gate, five missiles appeared before Tang Wulin's eyes.
"What are those?"
A prominent member of the Tang Sect, as well as a mecha pilot and Battle Armor Master, Tang Wulin recognized at a glance that these five missiles were different.
They were Soul Guidance Cannons—at least level five Fixed Soul Guidance Cannons!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
There was no time to dodge.
Tang Wulin had only one option: go all out on defense.
And the outcome was obvious.
All five level-five Fixed Soul Guidance Cannons hit their mark!
Smoke from the massive explosions quickly swallowed Tang Wulin.
"Did we get him? BT, did we win?"
[No, Pilot!] [The system detects that the target has suffered only a slight impact. Preparing a second and third round of strikes.] [Raise the Soul Guidance Cannon level to six.] [Preparing to charge.] [Aiming.]
"Vrrrrm!"
At the same time, a human-shaped shadow appeared in the enormous cloud of smoke.
Tang Wulin was really hard to deal with!
