You Think You Can Win a Soul Spirit Battle? Don't Make Your Lord Luo Laugh

At that moment, Little Red unfolded into its complete mecha form.

The Radiant Wings on its back spewed streams of crimson-gold flame as it shifted a thousand meters sideways in an instant, every lava-like vein lighting up.

A faint glimmer flashed in the void, and a blazing streak of red tore through the air.

Little Red instantly appeared behind the Silent Annihilation Death God, moving so fast that even Huang Zhengyang failed to see it.

The entire Stadium was bathed in crimson light, and even the sky turned scarlet.

Its five fingers spread, countless tiny red blades of light bursting from its fingertips and slicing through the air in every direction.

The life core in its chest roared, and a thick, blood-red Soul Guidance Ray thundered toward the Silent Annihilation Death God, filling the Stadium with smoke.

"What is going on? Isn't Luo Chen still outside?" Dai Tianling was utterly bewildered.

A fully automated mecha? How was that possible?

A mecha's construction was extraordinarily complex. Without a human pilot, it simply could not unleash its true power.

Only after the smoke cleared did everyone see what had happened inside the Stadium.

Huang Zhengyang's Silent Annihilation Death God was battered all over, its body covered in gashes. Even with a Divine Mecha's repair functions, it could not recover in such a short time.

"Little Red, destroy him," Luo Chen spoke again.

Only then did Huang Zhengyang realize that Luo Chen's Divine Mecha had no cockpit at all!

"Yes, boss." A sweet, affectionate electronic voice came from Little Red's frame.

Like a phantom, Little Red appeared before the Silent Annihilation Death God once more.

Even though Huang Zhengyang had pushed his spiritual power to its limit, he still could not follow Little Red's movements.

The metal structure of Little Red's right arm rapidly rearranged itself, transforming the entire limb into a gigantic Crimson Battle Blade that swept out in a horizontal slash!

The two Silent Annihilation Scythe Blades on the Silent Annihilation Death God's back were instantly cut in half.

Had Huang Zhengyang not relied on his seasoned experience to instinctively make his mecha duck, his entire machine would probably have been sliced in two.

"What a terrifying mecha! Luo Chen's machine was probably made entirely through Heavenly Forging!" En Ci suddenly said.

"Entirely through Heavenly Forging? Wouldn't that make it worth as much as a complete set of Four-Word Battle Armor?" Dai Yun'er exclaimed beside Dai Tianling.

That... was far too extravagant!

"We may lose this match," En Ci sighed.

On the competition stage, Luo Chen had no intention of playing around any longer. He decided to show his opponent a little respect.

His Ice Ancestral Talisman martial soul appeared, its four blood-red soul rings and five orange soul rings as oppressive as ever.

Meanwhile, Little Red's frame folded and contracted layer by layer, transforming into a thousand-foot blood-red greatsword that settled into Luo Chen's palm.

"A mecha can turn into a weapon too?" Everyone in the stands was dumbfounded. They felt like a bunch of country bumpkins who had never seen a mecha before.

Mu Ye merely sighed. "I still overestimated the Star Luo Empire's mecha standards. It won't even take ten moves. One will be enough."

Mu Ye knew very well that only by transforming into a weapon could Little Red unleash its true might!

In its normal form, Little Red could only exert half its strength.

Just as Mu Ye had said, once Little Red transformed into a weapon and Luo Chen poured an endless stream of soul power into it...

Huang Zhengyang conceded.

He knew perfectly well that he could not withstand that strike. Rather than let his mecha be completely scrapped, he might as well admit defeat early.

"Actually, you're quite good at piloting a mecha," Luo Chen offered a token word of comfort.

That made Huang Zhengyang feel a little better, even though he had barely demonstrated any piloting skill.

"But a mecha battle always comes down to the mechas themselves. You only lost because of your machine."

Luo Chen said.

Mu Ye's mecha would rank first or second even in the Sun Moon Federation, let alone here in the Star Luo Empire.

The Star Luo Empire had lost the first match of the Five Gods' Duel.

It was a tremendous blow to the entire nation. Not long ago, Luo Chen had made such outrageous boasts at the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament.

Everyone had been waiting to see Luo Chen get a slap in the face today, only to be met with this result.

"It's fine! This was only the first match! Besides, Luo Chen didn't win through piloting skill!"

"Exactly! There are still four matches left! We'll definitely win the second match, the soul spirit battle!"

As Luo Chen prepared to leave, he heard the spectators' discussions and found them rather amusing.

You think you can win a soul spirit battle? Don't make your Lord Luo laugh.

Besides, he already knew who would represent the Star Luo Empire in the soul spirit battle!

It was none other than Zhang Geyang, the master of the Spirit Pagoda's Star Luo Branch Tower and deputy master of the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters.

The reason was simple. Recently, Luo Chen had been working to build up Leng Yaozhu's standing.

He wanted to help Leng Yaozhu seize the position of Spirit Pagoda master so that he could gain the Spirit Pagoda's support.

From the look of things, Zhang Geyang must have received instructions from Qiangu Dongfeng to put Luo Chen firmly in his place in the Star Luo Empire.

"Qiangu Dongfeng, oh, Qiangu Dongfeng. Once I return to the Federation, it'll be time to settle the score with your Qiangu Family once and for all!"

[Luo Chen wasn't as stupid as Shrek Academy, insisting on waiting until the academy had been blown sky-high before realizing it should fight back.]

[Once I actually become the Federal Speaker, Qiangu Dongfeng will surely be desperate to get his hands on a third Level 12 Soul Cannon Shell.]

[Then it'll be one for Shrek Academy, one for the Tang Sect, and another for me.]

Outside the Sky Screen, Jing Hongchen had just been about to return to his mecha research when the mention of a Level 12 Soul Cannon Shell made his eyes light up again.

Jing Hongchen had thought Class 9 Soul Cannon Shells were already the pinnacle. He had never expected there to be Class 12 shells ten thousand years later!

"They actually have Level 12 Soul Cannon Shells ten thousand years from now?"

"Level 9 Soul Cannon Shells are already so terrifying. I wonder how powerful Level 12 Soul Cannon Shells are?"

"Should I assign some more people to research Soul Cannon Shells? Even if we can't make Class 12 shells, Class 10 should be possible, right?"

During the Spirit Hall era, inside Shrek Academy.

Flender was deeply puzzled by Luo Chen's words.

"Our Shrek Academy has always been arrogant and domineering. A soul master who doesn't dare stir up trouble is a mediocrity. Has Shrek Academy twenty thousand years from now forgotten even that?"

The next day.

Once again, inside the Star Luo Empire's National Stadium, the second match-the soul spirit battle-began.

Just as Luo Chen had guessed, the one representing the Star Luo Empire was Zhang Geyang, deputy master of the Spirit Pagoda.

"Zhang Geyang, you're a citizen of the Sun Moon Federation, yet you're fighting for the Star Luo Empire Federation? Are you committing treason?" Luo Chen demanded.

"Luo Chen, let's not have the man who fled fifty paces laugh at the man who fled a hundred. You want to establish the Star Luo Empire Federation on the Star Luo Continent. Isn't that treason too?"

Zhang Geyang said, "Luo Chen, I know you're very powerful. In a head-on fight, I'm no match for you."

At this point, Zhang Geyang brimmed with confidence. "I've spent half my life studying the soul spirit path. Luo Chen, what makes you think you can contend with me? Are you even qualified?"

Luo Chen had no idea where Zhang Geyang's confidence came from. He had already read the man's information yesterday; Zhang Geyang possessed four great soul spirits.

A ten-thousand-year Netherworld Flame Beast, a hundred-thousand-year Azure Jade Phoenix, a hundred-thousand-year Emerald Demon Bird, and a ten-thousand-year Thunderclap Infernal Prison Vine.

As it happened, Luo Chen also had four great soul spirits.

The seven-hundred-thousand-year Snow Empress, the four-hundred-thousand-year Ice Empress, the three-hundred-thousand-year Xiao Bai, and the hundred-thousand-year Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass.

Who would win the soul spirit battle? Such a difficult guess.
