"BT! If we pool all our energy together right now, can we manually craft an ultimate move?"
Sensing that the guy opposite him was starting to get serious, Luo Feng immediately tensed up.
Although his golden finger and mecha had theoretically infinite room for growth, they were currently limited by raw materials. Without higher-tier soul spirits, there was no way to convert them into higher-tier Soul Guidance Cannons. If they continued to trade blows like this, he might end up at a disadvantage.
[Ironclad, with our current energy, we should be able to generate an attack infinitely close to an eighth-level Soul Guidance Cannon, but we can use it fewer than three times!]
The Vanguard Titan quickly provided its conclusion.
It was worse than he had imagined. He had originally hoped to pull off a ninth-level Soul Guidance Cannon, but if it was only eighth-level, he feared it wouldn't be enough to defeat the Three-Word Battle Armor master before him. After all, Tang Wulin's battle armor had been blessed 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 were at daggers drawn, Tang Wulin suddenly glanced down at Gu Yue on the ground. He looked at the Star Luo Empire's emperor and his daughter not far away, his brows furrowing at first, but the aura around him quickly began to wane.
"Mr. Luo, why don't we call it a draw? I'm not here to duel you today!"
That was right! This battle hadn't actually been instigated by Tang Wulin. If it weren't for that little princess insisting on a contest, the two of them wouldn't even have started fighting.
"Fine!"
"I'll take your word for it!"
In truth, there was no deep-seated hatred between Luo Feng and Tang Wulin. It was nothing more than the awkward dynamic of a so-called predecessor and successor. Besides, the man's main purpose today was to call off the engagement; there was no need to fight to the death. If something were to go wrong, it wouldn't look good in front of the Star Luo Emperor, would it?
"Hey, hey, hey! Why did you stop?"
Seeing such a brilliant duel end so hastily, Dai Yun'er's face was filled with immense regret. But before the tsundere princess could say anything else, applause rang out from the Star Luo Empire's emperor nearby!
"Clap, clap, clap!"
"Truly, heroes emerge from the youth!"
"To reach the Titled Douluo level in your early twenties, and to be a rare Three-Word Battle Armor master on the Douluo Continent at that!"
"It is our honor to have a friend like you in the Star Luo Empire!"
In fact, the little princess's willful marriage proposal had also displeased the Star Luo Emperor. Fortunately, Tang Wulin was sensible and took the initiative to renounce the marriage. The emperor had originally been having a pleasant conversation with him, even discussing further cooperation with the Tang Sect, only for this willful little princess to interrupt.
However, the combat prowess Luo Feng had just displayed did indeed make the emperor look at him with new eyes. For someone who wasn't a noble and was merely a newly enlisted recruit to be able to craft such perfect armor—if this kid were properly cultivated, he might truly become a powerful combat asset for the Star Luo Empire.
"Father..."
Seeing her father intervene, the little princess found it difficult to continue being willful.
She pouted in a fit of pique before running toward Luo Feng's mecha.
"Feng, come with me. I'll show you the inventory of our Star Luo Empire!"
In truth, the little princess had only been experimenting earlier.
The spirit souls she had sent over were merely mid-range.
However, the Star Luo Empire held high-level agreements with the Spirit Pagoda.
Their inventory contained black-grade spirit souls.
These were equivalent to spirit beasts over 10,000 years old.
If the Vanguard Titan could absorb such a thing, there was no telling what kind of terrifying weapon it might create.
"Young friend, let us continue our previous discussion. I have truly spoiled my daughter..."
Watching his daughter drag that young man toward the warehouse, the Emperor of the Empire felt a splitting headache.
However, the most important matter at hand was to maintain a good relationship with Tang Wulin.
This was not only because of his connection to the Tang Sect.
It was also due to the boy's infinite potential.
Shrek Academy had now gone underground.
If the Star Luo Empire could keep this young man by their side and fund his reconstruction of Shrek, it would be an investment with guaranteed returns.
Furthermore, looking across the entire Douluo Continent, only the Star Luo Empire overseas could stand against the Federation.
"It is fine, Your Majesty! Actually, I find Her Highness the Princess to be quite genuine!"
This Tang Wulin certainly knew how to speak well.
However, Luo Feng could not hear any of this.
At this moment, he was stunned by the scene before him.
The inventory was massive.
Beside him, BT also provided an accurate reminder!
[Ironclad, I have detected a massive amount of energy.]
[Personal recommendation: You should marry the princess as soon as possible, and we will have infinite ammunition.]
Good grief!
How could even my iron-clad partner say something like that?
"Living off a woman? Is Luo Feng that kind of person!"
Despite saying this, when Luo Feng truly saw the highest-level strategic warehouse belonging to the Star Luo royal family, he could not help but swallow hard.
Within the enormous underground space, rows of storage racks engraved with high-level soul guidance arrays stretched out of sight.
The climate control and anti-vibration systems emitted a faint, low hum.
Most eye-catching of all were the special crystal display stands in the core area of the warehouse, which radiated a deep, black light.
"How is it? Are you scared?"
Dai Yun'er stood with her hands behind her back, lifting her snow-white chin like a proud little swan.
She walked with light, brisk steps toward the most central display stand.
Without hesitation, she entered the highest-level authorization password, known only to core members of the royal family.
"Hiss!"
Accompanied by the soft sound of air pressure releasing, the bulletproof crystal cover slowly descended.
Dai Yun'er lifted a metal sphere from within that radiated a rich, black halo.
In the center of the translucent sphere, a miniature black leopard-shaped spirit soul was sealed, its body wreathed in dark purple lightning.
A ten-thousand-year spirit soul!
Judging by its quality and the volatile energy fluctuations, it was definitely not some ordinary piece just over 10,000 years old; it had at least 30,000 years of cultivation!
"This is a [Dark Thunder Shadow Leopard]. It was originally a trophy my father intended to save for the commander of the Royal Knights, but he could never bring himself to use it."
Dai Yun'er shoved this priceless treasure into Luo Feng's arms without a care, her large eyes sparkling with fanatical light.
"Can't that big iron block of yours eat this thing? 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 spirit soul, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.
Is this the joy of being the wealthiest woman in Star Luo?
Too simple and crude!
Just then, the core of the Vanguard Titan behind him flickered with a blinding, deep-blue radiance, its massive mechanical eye locking firmly onto the black sphere in Luo Feng's hand.
[Warning! High-purity dark and lightning attribute composite high-energy aggregate detected!]
[Energy Level: Deep Black Grade (Over 10,000 years)]
[Ironclad, system analysis indicates that this energy body is a perfect match for the Titan's Thunderclap Energy Box. If converted directly into firepower reserves, we will not only break through the current chassis firepower limitations and hand-craft at least three genuine "Level 9 Fixed Soul Guidance Cannons," but we can also permanently unlock one of the Titan's ultimate core skills!]
Although BT's voice remained a cold electronic tone, Luo Feng swore he could absolutely hear a thick sense of "longing" and "excitement" in the tone of this hunk of metal.
"Can it be converted directly? This is biological soul energy from the Douluo Continent; won't it cause a rejection reaction with the mecha?"
Luo Feng took a deep breath.
[Rest assured, Ironclad. The Titan's Universal Conversion Engine ignores the biological laws of this plane; we only strip and extract the purest destructive energy.]
"Good!"
Luo Feng didn't stand on ceremony. He turned and walked toward the Vanguard Titan, slapping open a hidden armor plate beneath the chest cockpit.
It revealed the energy intake port glowing with blue light inside.
"BT, open wide, it's time for a feast!"
