Guardian Mecha

The bone dragon soared, accompanied by the dancing flower blades.

As speculated by those in the know, Yueguan indeed couldn't break through Gu Rong's defense.

"I lost."

After a moment, Yueguan sighed and admitted defeat voluntarily.

Encountering Gu Rong in the first round was indeed bad luck for him.

If he had faced other Titled Douluo, he might have had a chance to fight.

The two had agreed on a one-move duel, so it was impossible for them to go back on their word in public. Besides, they weren't the type of people to do that.

One move, no second move.

"Titled Douluo, first round, first match."

"Chrysanthemum Douluo Yueguan vs. Bone Douluo Gu Rong!"

"Bone Douluo Gu Rong wins!"

The members of the Spirit Hall were somewhat disheartened; their elder lost the first match, and morale was somewhat dampened.

The members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, on the other hand, were cheering as if Gu Rong had already won the championship.

After the two stepped down, it was still a match between Titled Douluo. In fact, on the opening day, only Titled Douluo fought!

"Titled Douluo, first round, second match. Please welcome Golden Crow Douluo Lexius and Iron Armor Douluo Moffett!"

Neuvillette and Focalors: "..."

Moffett and Lexius: "..."

The entire Soul Arena fell silent.

No way!

Even though they were their own people, there wasn't any favoritism at all!

This draw was truly frustrating!

"Hey, why do the staff of the Soul Arena look so unhappy?"

With so many spectators, naturally, someone noticed this.

"Don't say, this guy was smiling quite happily before..."

"Stop guessing. Lexius is my family leader."

"Moffett is my family leader."

The two staff members looked at each other and said.

Everyone: "..."

Alright, Neuvillette indeed deserved his reputation for upholding justice to the utmost.

He didn't even spare his own people!

At this moment, everyone believed there was no foul play in the competition.

"This is quite a situation."

After learning the reason, the news spread quickly, and both the spectators and contestants were stunned.

This competition was truly fair!

Even the reclusive old monsters nodded. Before coming, they had feared foul play and manipulation.

Now, those worries completely vanished.

On the stage, Lexius and Moffett looked at each other and shrugged, indicating helplessness.

"Brother Lexius, I know I'm not your match, so I prepared a surprise for you before coming on stage!"

Moffett's lips curved into a slight smile as he spoke.

"Brother Moffett, you haven't beaten me once in decades. Do you think you have a chance this time?"

Lexius crossed his arms and spoke disdainfully.

Although Moffett had broken through to the Titled Douluo level, Lexius had been a Titled Douluo for a long, long time!

Especially after Neuvillette and Focalors returned to Sotou City and strengthened him from inside out.

Now, he was no longer that simple.

Neuvillette: "..."

Should he say something?

"Gentlemen, will you state your names?"

After hearing Neuvillette's words, Lexius and Moffett finally stopped their exchange. They looked at each other and nodded.

"Yes!" ×2

"Please retreat to the pre-battle safety distance," Neuvillette said expressionlessly.

This was the arena, and as the referee, he naturally had to follow the procedure.

Moffett and Lexius understood this, and without saying much, they retreated to the pre-battle safety distance.

"Please release your martial souls. The match will officially begin in one minute."

Releasing a martial soul only took an instant. This minute was reserved for both sides to introduce themselves.

Lexius and Moffett did not immediately release their martial souls but instead stared at each other.

Finally, Moffett couldn't hold back and touched his storage soul guide.

In the next moment, a "Golden Armored Giant" appeared in the arena.

(Author note.- All mechanical guards are type of Specialist Mek)

"Little Neuv... no, I mean, referee, the rules of the match allow the use of weapons, right?" Moffett asked with a smile.

Neuvillette and Lexius looked at Moffett in disbelief. This old guy...

Good grief!

He really understood the rules!

At this moment, Lexius understood the meaning behind Moffett 's previous words.

Damn it, this old guy actually used a guardian mecha!

And it's the strongest model available!

There are only eight of these in the entire Soul Arena.

Each family has one, and it's the strongest trump card besides Neuvillette and Focalors!

No one expected the first appearance of this guardian mecha would be against their own people...

Let's be honest.

Guardian mecha, although somewhat intelligent, are indeed considered weapons!

Neuvillette was momentarily speechless, wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, and said, "Yes, you can."

Moffett indeed didn't break any rules. The competition regulations allow the use of weapons!

Guardian mecha are considered weapons...

It's like the red mechas two thousand years later, possessing intelligence and able to transform into "special weapons." Can you say they aren't weapons?

"Hahaha..."

Moffett laughed heartily and said proudly, "Brother Lexius, are you surprised? Are you astonished?"

"The big guy that little brother prepared for you, you must like it a lot!"

Moffett grinned, his big white teeth gleaming conspicuously in the sunlight!

Lexius: ...

The audience and contestants were stunned. What was going on?

"How can Clan Leader Mo use a guardian mecha?"

"Hey, brother!"

"The competition rules don't prohibit it!"

"But, isn't that lacking martial ethics!?"

There isn't just one type of guardian mecha; there are many types.

But each one is the pinnacle of its "level"!

Their combat power is terrifying!

This guardian mecha is even larger than the one placed in the Soul Arena as a showpiece, indicating its formidable strength...

"It is a bit unfair, but your clan leader has been beating my clan leader for decades. At least let my clan leader regain some dignity!"

Hearing this, the members of the Lexius clan fell silent.

The audience: "???"

Although somewhat confused, they were deeply shocked.

This human-like "weapon" called a guardian mecha, right?

It seems extremely terrifying!

Seeing Moffett laughing so heartily, Lexius shrugged, his serious expression relaxing as he laughed, "Brother Mo, you've had your laugh. Are you happy now?"

"???"

Moffett was stunned. Something was off!

What did Lexius mean?

"I originally wanted to have a normal duel with you, but you actually backstabbed me by using a guardian mecha!"

"Alright, no more pretending. Let's reveal everything!"

Lexius's lips curved into a slight smile, causing Moffett to instinctively take two steps back.

He knew that smile all too well!
