Chapter 40

"Then why don't you practice seriously? It will be funny if you can't even beat your wife in the future."

　　Lin Xuan glanced at Xie Xie and said.

　　At first, he thought that Xie Xie's soul power was so low because of his mother, but after spending so much time with him, he found out that this guy was simply lazy.

　　If Xie Xie had worked half as hard as Tang Wulin, the exam king, he wouldn't be at the bottom of Class Zero now.

　　"hey-hey!"

　　Xie Xie touched his head and smiled foolishly, but he didn't know how to refute it because he knew exactly what he was like.

　　In the beginning, his mother's departure did have a significant impact on him, but later on he simply got used to this lifestyle and it was difficult to change.

　　"What is this? Tang Wulin, can you tell me?"

　　Wu Changkong threw out a cloud titanium vest. Apparently, Wu Changkong had discovered this thing.

　　"I was wrong, Teacher! But I think this is also part of our own strength. After all, we made this vest ourselves, not bought it from others."

　　Tang Wulin first seriously admitted the problem, and then began to defend himself.

　　"This won't happen again!"

　　Wu Zhangkong said this calmly and did not pursue the matter further.

　　Tang Wulin smiled. He came up with this idea because he knew for sure that Wu Changkong would not care about it.

　　Wu Changkong has this personality. As long as it's your own ability and you don't cross the line, he doesn't care.

　　"In this assessment, Tang Wulin scored 90 points, Gu Yue scored 95 points, Xie Xie scored 80 points, and Lin Xuan scored full marks!"

　　Wu Zhangkong thought for a moment and gave everyone a score.

　　Naturally, the few people had no objection to this, especially Xie Xie, who thought he would definitely die if he came out early.

　　Unexpectedly, he could get 80 points. It seemed that it was worth it for him to work hard to replace the boy with the third ring next to Mu Xi.

　　"Alright! Let's go back!"

　　Wu Changkong led everyone away without mentioning the matter of Lin Xuan's soul bone.

　　Several people took a car back to school. Tang Wulin was sitting in the car, and someone's figure appeared in the depths of his mind. He looked at Lin Xuan in front of him, and his eyes moved slightly.

　　An uncontrolled genius is definitely detrimental to the balance of Douluo Star! This is a hidden danger to peace!

　　…

　　After returning to the academy, Wu Zhangkong gave the group two days to digest the gains from the Spirit Ascension Platform.

　　Afterwards, Wu Changkong took Tang Wulin and the other two to the Tang Sect to take an assessment in the Hall of Heroes.

　　As for Lin Xuan, he had already broken through the Hall of Heroes before. With his current greatly increased strength, he might have to kill all the Shrek Seven Devils.

　　Therefore, Wu Changkong gave him full marks and exempted him from this test.

　　During this period of time, Lin Xuan was thinking about forging a new sword.

　　"This time, Ji Juechen integrated his martial spirit into the sword. Can my spirit also be integrated into the sword?"

　　After consulting a lot of information, Lin Xuan combined it with his own ideas and finally came up with an idea.

　　That is to forge the sword body with spiritual metal, use the soul as the weapon spirit, and forge a spiritual sword that can continue to evolve.

　　Otherwise, it would not be a good idea to frequently replace the sword every time his strength improves, and he just happens to be somewhat confident about these.

　　Lin Xuan remembered that Muye merged the mecha with the soul, so this weapon would definitely work.

　　"Let's go ask Xu Hao..."

　　Lin Xuan pondered for a moment and made a decision. Instead of thinking about it here, he might as well ask Xu Hao. After all, he was at least a level 7 mecha forger.

　　Xu Hao must know something about this, so it's a good opportunity to ask him for help with some advice.

　　Lin Xuan drove to Xu's Mecha Factory, and then followed the guard to Xu Hao's office.

　　"Forging a sword with soul?"

　　After listening to Lin Xuan's idea, Xu Hao paced back and forth in the office, thinking about this possibility.

　　Lin Xuan's meaning was very simple, which was to use the sword as a small mecha to merge with the soul.

　　There is indeed a similar sect in the mecha world, but only god-level mecha masters consider opening up new paths. A little Karami like him has never worried about such things.

　　"As far as I know, there is a god-level mecha master in Tiandou who once merged his mecha with his soul, so it is theoretically feasible, but I am not good at this part."

　　Xu Hao pondered for a moment and shook his head, then he looked at Lin Xuan again.

　　"If you want to try it, it's best to find relevant information for reference first."

　　"Related information..."

　　Lin Xuan was a little troubled as he really didn't have any connections for this.

　　Could he ask Muchen to help him find it? But if Muchen was afraid that he would neglect forging, he might not help.

　　"I do have an opportunity, but it may be a little difficult."

　　Xu Hao looked at Lin Xuan, with some hesitation on his face.

　　"Uncle Xu, please tell me."

　　Lin Xuan's eyes lit up. As long as there was a way, it would be fine. He was not afraid of the difficulty.

　　"Do you know about the Tianhai Alliance Competition? In next year's Alliance Competition, the prize for the mecha manufacturing competition is a portion of the mecha manufacturing experience of a god-level mecha master. It is said that this was personally requested by the old president of the Tianhai City Mecha Manufacturing Association last month, and..."

　　Xu Hao moistened his throat before continuing.

　　"And this god-level mecha master happens to be the one who studies the fusion of mecha and soul."

　　"Can I participate in this competition?"

　　Lin Xuan glanced at Xu Hao's calm expression and understood. Xu Hao was probably waiting for him to say this.

　　However, he is determined to get this prize!

　　"If you can become a level three mecha forger before the competition starts, I can help you get a spot in Donghai City."

　　Xu Hao nodded. He also held a nominal position as vice president of the Mecha Manufacturing Association in Donghai City, so this was still possible.

　　"Thank you, Uncle Xu!"

　　Lin Xuan clasped his fists and bowed, expressing his sincere gratitude. Regardless of the purpose, this really helped him.

　　"Half a year, a third-level mecha manufacturer..."

　　Xu Hao stood in front of the window, looking at Lin Xuan's departing back and smiling slightly.

　　If Lin Xuan can really reach level three within half a year, then Donghai City's performance in this Tianhai Alliance competition will not be too bad.

　　Even if Lin Xuan cannot achieve it, compared to his previous superficial efforts, he is making great progress in the field of mecha manufacturing. Is he far from changing his career?

　　All in all, he is sure to make money!

　　…

　　Soon the semester ended and a month's vacation came.

　　This time with Lin Xuan around, Tang Wulin did not go to Tiandou City with Wu Changkong, but followed Lin Xuan back to Aolai City.

　　Donghai City, Soul Guide Train Station.

　　"Brother Xuan! Why did my parents leave so suddenly without even saying hello to me?"

　　Tang Wulin followed Lin Xuan in the queue outside the station to check his tickets, muttering to himself.

　　Two months ago, Tang Ziran and his wife suddenly disappeared, leaving only a letter for Tang Wulin without mentioning a single word about their whereabouts.

　　This made Tang Wulin feel very sad and worried. The letter was well written, but it seemed to be written in a hurry.

　　Otherwise, given Tang Ziran and Tang Wulin's personalities, they would definitely come to Donghai City to meet Tang Wulin before leaving.

　　"Perhaps Uncle Tang and the others have their own reasons! But they can leave a letter for you, so at least there is no problem with safety."

　　Lin Xuan comforted him.

　　At this time, Tang Ziran and the other person should have been taken away by the Spirit Pagoda. Otherwise, given the style of the Holy Spirit Church, it would be impossible for Tang Wulin to stay here to study.

　　"Um!"

　　Tang Wulin nodded. He understood, but he just felt uncomfortable.

　　"Brother Xuan, look!"

　　Tang Wulin's originally unhappy expression changed into one of surprise. He pointed at the sky and tugged at Lin Xuan's sleeve.

Chapter 53 Shut up, I can't protect you anymore

　　"boom!"

　　There was a roar in the sky, and a giant mecha more than ten meters high slowly dropped from the sky and landed in the station.

　　This mecha is dark yellow in color, with a pair of huge mechanical wings on its back and a several-meter-long mechanical axe on its chest, full of powerful and wild beauty.

　　"This is a mecha! So cool!"

　　Tang Wulin's eyes sparkled as he spoke excitedly.

　　Not only Tang Wulin, but the passers-by around him also looked up and stared at the slowly descending mecha with sharp eyes.

　　In the entire eastern region of the Federation, mechas with a lower threshold are more popular than battle armors. Of course, this is also related to the fact that there are too few battle armor masters.

　　After all, compared with mechas, which are something that can only be seen on TV every day and often appear in real life, mechas are naturally more popular.

　　"Yellow-level mecha!"

　　Lin Xuan looked at the mecha and whispered to himself.

　　The Federation actually has regulations on the colors of mechas. Standard mechas are all painted according to their grade, and if personal mechas have different paint jobs, they need to be reported to the Federation.

　　For example, Lin Xuan's mecha Hummingbird has been reported.

　　"I like it. You can buy one yourself later. It only costs a few million."

　　Lin Xuan glanced at Tang Wulin, who had transformed into a little fanboy, and said, "The white mecha can only be said to be a training machine, and it has almost no practical value."

　　The combat power span of yellow-level mechas is quite wide. The worst one is only slightly stronger than a three-ring soul master, and the top one can even be comparable to a team of five-ring soul masters.

　　However, this is the limit of ordinary people's mechas. Purple-level mechas above this level require soul masters to withstand.

　　"It's just a few million...Brother Xuan, you make it sound so easy."

　　Tang Wulin rolled his eyes. How long would it take him to save up millions of dollars? There were still several layers of Golden Dragon King's seal waiting for him. How could he have the spare money to buy this?

　　"Don't talk about this, it's our turn now."

　　Before they knew it, they had reached the front of the line.

　　"Inspection passed, please pass quickly!"

　　The ticket machine sounded, and Lin Xuan dragged Tang Wulin in. They bought their tickets together, so their seats happened to be next to each other.

　　"What's going on? Is this the only seat?"

　　Lin Xuan had just sat down when a young man came over. He looked unhappy and got angry at the flight attendant.

　　"You asked me to sit with them. Then I might as well sit back in my mech."

　　The young man glanced at the people around him, his face full of disgust, as if he saw a mop covered in shit.

　　"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry! Our VIP carriage is really full."

　　The stewardess apologized repeatedly and respectfully. This young man was a distinguished mecha master, and she couldn't afford to offend him, but she couldn't afford to offend the people in the VIP car either.

　　"It's not impossible for me to sit here!"

　　The young man paused, then pointed around with his hand.

　　"You, you, you, you, you, and you, all of you, go sit aside. This area is all mine."

　　The young man called out a large group of people, including Lin Xuan and the other person, with a very arrogant attitude.

　　"Why should we give way? If you have the guts, sit on the roof! You look like a monkey with a hairy mouth and a thunder god's face. Do you think you can be the boss just because you shaved your hair?"

　　An old lady holding a child stiffened her neck, refused to let go, and without taking off her shoes, she put her feet on the table.
