Tang Wulin Voluntarily Calls a Halt? He Wants to Break Off the Engagement with the Princess

"BT! If we gather all our energy together right now, can we cobble together a powerful attack by hand?"

He could tell that the guy opposite him seemed to be getting serious.

Luo Feng immediately tensed up as well.

In theory, both his golden finger and his mecha had unlimited room to grow.

But they were currently limited by their materials.

Without higher-grade Soul Spirits, there was no way to convert them into higher-grade Soul Guidance Cannons.

If they kept fighting, he might end up at a disadvantage.

[Pilot, with our current energy, we should be able to produce an attack that comes very close to a Level 8 Soul Guidance Cannon, but we can fire it fewer than three times!]

Vanguard Titan quickly gave its assessment.

It was worse than he had imagined.

He'd originally thought he could produce a Level 9 Soul Guidance Cannon.

But if it was only Level 8, he was afraid he still wouldn't be able to defeat the Three-Word Battle Armor Master in front of him.

After all, Tang Wulin's Battle Armor had been empowered by both the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King.

It wasn't something an ordinary person could easily contend with.

However, just as both sides stood poised to fight,

Tang Wulin suddenly glanced at Gu Yue on the ground.

Then he looked at the Star Luo Empire emperor and his daughter not far away, frowning slightly.

But soon the aura around him weakened.

"Mr. Luo, why don't we call it a draw? I didn't come here to duel with you today!"

That's right!

Tang Wulin really hadn't started this fight.

If the little princess hadn't insisted on competing, the two of them might not have fought at all.

"Sure!"

"Your call!"

Actually, Luo Feng and Tang Wulin didn't have any deep-seated grudge between them.

They were nothing more than a so-called ex and the current fiancé.

Besides, the other guy's main purpose today was to break off the engagement. There was no need to fight to the death, right?

If anything happened to either of them,

it wouldn't look good in front of the Star Luo emperor, would it?

"Hey, hey, hey, why did you stop?"

Watching the exciting duel come to such an abrupt end, Dai Yun'er looked terribly disappointed.

But before the haughty princess could say anything,

the Star Luo Empire emperor's applause rang out beside her!

"Clap, clap, clap!"

"Truly, the young are heroes!"

"Barely over twenty, and already at the Titled Douluo level—and one of the rare Three-Word Battle Armor Masters on Douluo Continent!"

"It's our honor to have a friend like you in the Star Luo Empire!"

In truth, the emperor of the Star Luo Empire had been quite unhappy with the little princess's willful proposal earlier.

Fortunately, Tang Wulin had read the room and voluntarily offered to give up the marriage.

The emperor had been having a pleasant conversation with him.

They'd even discussed further cooperation with the Tang Sect in the future.

And then?

That willful little princess had interrupted them again.

Still, the fighting prowess Luo Feng had just displayed had truly impressed the emperor as well.

He wasn't a noble, and he was a brand-new recruit, yet he'd managed to build such a perfect suit of armor.

If the boy was properly trained, he might truly become a powerful fighter for the Star Luo Empire.

"Father..."

Seeing her dad step in,

the little princess couldn't keep acting willfully.

All she could do was pout sulkily before running toward Luo Feng's mecha!

"Ah Feng, come with me. I'll show you the Star Luo Empire's reserves!"

In truth, the little princess had only been testing him earlier.

The Soul Spirit she'd had brought over was only mid-grade.

But the Star Luo Empire and the Spirit Pagoda had an agreement between their upper echelons.

The reserves contained black Soul Spirits.

They were equivalent to Soul Beasts that had lived for over ten thousand years.

If Vanguard Titan could absorb one of those, who knew what terrifying weapon it might create?

"My young friend, let's continue our earlier conversation. I've spoiled my daughter rotten..."

Watching his daughter tug the young man toward the storehouse, the emperor felt a headache coming on.

Still, his most important task right now was to build a good relationship with Tang Wulin.

Not only because of his ties to the Tang Sect,

but also because of the boy's limitless potential.

Shrek Academy had now gone underground.

If the Star Luo Empire could keep this young man close and support him in rebuilding Shrek, it would be an investment that paid off many times over.

And looking across all of Douluo Continent,

only the Star Luo Empire, overseas, was capable of standing against the Federation.

"It's all right, Your Majesty! I actually think Her Highness the Princess is very straightforward!"

Tang Wulin sure knew how to talk.

But Luo Feng couldn't hear him.

At that moment, he was already stunned by the sight before him.

What a massive stockpile.

BT beside him promptly issued a clear warning!

[Pilot, I've detected a vast amount of energy.]

[My recommendation: marry the princess as soon as possible. Then we'll have infinite ammunition.]

Good grief!

Even my iron lump of a partner was saying the same thing?

"Marry into wealth? Is that the kind of man I am, Luo Feng?!"

He said that, but when Luo Feng got a proper look at the highest-grade strategic warehouse belonging to the Star Luo Imperial Family, he couldn't help swallowing.

Inside the enormous underground space, rows upon rows of storage racks etched with high-grade Soul Guidance arrays stretched as far as the eye could see.

The temperature-control and shock-absorption systems emitted an almost imperceptible hum.

The most eye-catching things in the warehouse's central area were the specially made crystal display stands that gave off a deep black light.

"Well? Stunned, aren't you?"

Dai Yun'er clasped her hands behind her back and raised her snow-white chin like a proud little swan.

With light, quick steps, she went to the display stand at the very center.

Without hesitation, she entered the highest-level access code, one known only to core members of the imperial family.

"Pssht!"

With a soft hiss of released air pressure, the bulletproof crystal cover slowly descended.

Dai Yun'er lifted out a metal sphere radiating a rich black glow.

At its translucent center, a miniature Soul Spirit in the form of a black leopard was sealed away, its body wreathed in dark-purple lightning.

A Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit!

And judging by its quality and its volatile energy fluctuations, this was no ordinary specimen that had just passed ten thousand years. Its cultivation was at least close to thirty thousand years!

"This is a Dark Thunder Shadow Leopard. Father originally meant to keep it as a trophy for the Royal Knights' commander, but he couldn't bring himself to use it."

Dai Yun'er casually shoved this priceless treasure into Luo Feng's arms, her big eyes glittering with excitement.

"Can't that big hunk of iron of yours eat this? Feed it to him!

Let's see if that Tang Wulin dares to act so high and mighty in front of this princess again!"

Luo Feng held the heavy Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit, the corner of his mouth twitching.

So this was what it was like to be the richest woman in the Star Luo Empire.

So simple and so brutal!

Just then, the core of Vanguard Titan behind him began to flash with dazzling blue light. Its huge mechanical eye locked onto the black sphere in Luo Feng's hand.

[Warning! High-purity composite energy detected: dark and lightning attributes!]

[Energy level: Deep Black Grade (over ten thousand years)]

[Pilot, system analysis indicates that this energy entity is a perfect match for Titan's Thunderclap Energy Box.

If we convert it directly into firepower reserves, we won't just break through the mech's current firepower limitations.

We'll be able to cobble together at least three true Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Cannons, and permanently unlock one of Titan's ultimate core skills!]

BT's voice remained a cold electronic tone.

But Luo Feng swore he could hear deep "longing" and "excitement" in the iron lump's voice.

"You can convert it directly? This is the soul energy of a creature from Douluo Continent. Won't it react badly with the mecha?"

Luo Feng took a deep breath.

[Please rest assured, Pilot. Titan's Universal Conversion Engine ignores the biological laws of this plane. We will simply separate and extract the purest destructive energy.]

"Good!"

Luo Feng didn't hesitate. He turned toward Vanguard Titan and directly popped open a concealed armor plate beneath the cockpit in its chest.

A blue-lit energy intake was revealed inside.

"BT, open wide. Time for a feast!"
