Soon, they called out the artificial intelligence and selected two seats in the front row...
Only heard a "buzz" sound, "Seat purchase successful, 4000 federation coins spent! Would you like to teleport?"
The two looked at each other, and said in unison, "Yes!"
A beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping them, and as they regained their senses, they were already in the front row seats they had chosen...
Looking around, all the seats were filled with people, creating a very lively atmosphere...
"Why hasn't the match started yet? It's driving me crazy! Just thinking about Yuanen Yehui's terrifying strength makes me all excited!"
"This is a battle between Soul Douluo level opponents; observing it carefully should greatly enhance my combat abilities!"
"Hehehe, I wonder if this time, Yuanen Yehui's unlucky opponent can last more than ten minutes against her!"
"Though I'm a supporter of Yuanen Yehui too, let's not get too arrogant. Any opponent that made it to the semifinals isn't simple!"
"Indeed, this time, not only is Yuanen Yehui's opponent also a Soul Douluo, but they have also won their previous matches effortlessly!"
Hearing these discussions, Tang Wulin curiously asked, "Xie Xie, is Yehui really that powerful? Why does it sound so mystical to me?"
Xie Xie shuddered involuntarily and his eyes showed traces of reminiscence, "It's not just powerful. I once naively thought that after reaching Soul Sage level, the gap between me and Yehui would narrow a bit!"
"Until that one match, I understood that our strengths are on completely different levels!"
"Let me put it this way, even if Yehui doesn't use her Fallen Angel Martial Soul, three of me wouldn't be enough to defeat her!"
Tang Wulin clicked his tongue, "Wow... You're really quite pitiful, needing your girlfriend to protect you!"
Xie Xie rolled his eyes, pouted, and said, "What about you and Gu Yue? At least I get to see Yehui every day!"
Mentioning Gu Yue brought a deep tenderness to Tang Wulin's face, and he softly said, "Gu Yue went with me to the Blood God Army, but half a year ago, she left in a hurry without explaining what it was about!"
Xie Xie awkwardly laughed and said, "Oh, so your status in Gu Yue's heart isn't small; she was willing to accompany you to suffer in that ghostly place!"
As they conversed, two beams of light emerged from the center of the battle platform, revealing figures as they dissipated...
It was Yuanen Yehui and her opponent!
The man opposite wore a grim expression and said, "Yuanen Yehui, your supporters are really arrogant, betting whether I can last ten minutes before you!"
Yuanen Yehui raised an eyebrow, "And so?"
The man sneered, "And so? I'm going to utterly defeat you on this battle platform, so those guys can see how foolish their thoughts are!"
Being denigrated couldn't be tolerated by anyone before the match even started!
Yuanen Yehui pursed her lips and chose not to argue, calmly replying, "My previous opponents also included people like you, but it always ended in tragedy. I hope you can bring some fun!"
Before they could continue chatting, a cold mechanical voice sounded, "Both parties, please release your Martial Souls! The duel will begin in three seconds!"
The man coldly "hmphed" and without hesitation released his Martial Soul...
Visibly, behind him, a unicorn emitting seven-colored light trotted through the air, constantly exuding its holy aura...
Simultaneously, eight Soul Rings floated beneath his feet...
Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black, Red!!
The final red Soul Ring was clearly a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring!
A look of surprise flashed in Yuanen Yehui's eyes, "What Martial Soul is this? A unicorn? And it even has a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring, no wonder he's so confident!"
...
Hearing these words, Tang Wulin took a deep breath and nodded, "Alright then, I'll trust you this time, Commander."
Since the rewards for this competition aren't disclosed, I suppose they must be quite good!
Perhaps they really are as Long Yuxue says, extremely beneficial to me!
Seeing Tang Wulin agree, Long Yuxue was somewhat delighted and said, "Great, once I get the notification, I'll let you know the specific rules and stages of the Mecha Tournament!"
With a Saint Craftsman Level Forging Master participating, there's almost no doubt that the Special Service Department will achieve an excellent result!
Tang Wulin nodded slightly, "Mhm!"
As for Gu Yue, she asked, "Commander Long, I've heard that the emperor of Xingluo Empire, Dai Tianling, has perished. Is it true?"
Although she's in the Blood God Army, she hasn't relaxed her vigilance towards the outside world, using her Communication Device periodically to obtain external information!
Long Yuxue revealed a surprised look and then confirmed, "It's true, in recent days, the emperor of Xingluo Empire has indeed perished, and his son Dai Yueyan has succeeded to the throne!"
"Honestly, Xingluo Empire's situation was already quite grim; now with this incident, it's believed that it'll further demoralize their army!"
Tang Wulin widened his eyes in disbelief, "What? The emperor of Xingluo Empire, Dai Tianling, has perished?"
Back when they represented Shrek Academy to participate in the All-Continent Youth Soul Master Elite Tournament, Dai Tianling was very healthy, clearly with decades left to live!
But surprisingly, not long after, he perished, it's truly hard to believe!
Long Yuxue shrugged, "Perhaps due to the sudden demise, major factions initially speculated that Dai Yueyan killed Dai Tianling to compete for the throne, but no concrete evidence exists!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin immediately refuted, "Impossible, Dai Yueyan is the most promising heir to the throne in Xingluo Empire, so there's no need to do such a thing!"
"There must be other reasons behind this affair!"
Long Yuxue saw his intense reaction and raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Tang Wulin, you seem to know a lot about the royal household?"
Tang Wulin shook his head, "It's not about knowing, but we visited the Royal family of Xingluo Empire previously! We clearly know that the former emperor, Dai Tianling, valued Dai Yueyan and Dai Yun'er the most!"
"The latter, being a woman, couldn't fight for the throne, making Dai Yueyan the only one to firmly take the throne!"
Long Yuxue pursed her lips, "Regardless of the specifics, it's Xingluo Empire's matter, unrelated to us. Doing our best is more important than anything else!"
Just then, a soldier from the Special Service Department entered, respectfully saying, "Report! Deputy Chief, Major Jiang Wuyue wants to see you!"
Long Yuxue was surprised, "Jiang Wuyue? He's finally willing to come out of his room?"
In the past few months, besides Jiang Qiyue, almost no one had seen the former!
Beside them, Tang Wulin quietly pinched his nose and suggested, "Um... Commander Long, I'd also like to meet him, since I feel responsible for Officer Jiang's condition!"
