Chapter 1948: Gu Yue's Worries (Please Subscribe)_1

Tang Wulin slightly smiled. "I concede."

Listening to those words of surrender from the previously arrogant man, his heart buzzed with a mix of sourness and pleasure!

"This duel has ended, Xiao Tang wins!!"

The audience supporting Tang Wulin below all excitedly cheered, "Spear King is mighty! Spear King is invincible! I knew you could definitely beat this guy!"

"Who was it that said the Spear King would suffer a crushing defeat? Aren't they owed a good slap to their own face?"

"Exactly, just a Saber Soul, nothing to mention under the Spear King's Spear Intent!"

"Come on, the Mad Blade Demon isn't even good at Mecha battles, why be proud over beating him? You should try defeating him in a Soul Master Battle!"

"That's right, the Mad Blade Demon specializes in Soul Master Battles. He's already close to being a Three-Word Battle Armor Master, if you take away the mecha, this Spear King wouldn't stand a chance!"

Long Yuxue secretly heaved a sigh of relief and joyfully said, "As expected of Wulin, I knew this guy would definitely win!"

Jiang Qiyue joked beside her, "Speaking of which, Yuxue, why do you trust Wulin so much? Could it be that..."

Long Yuxue's face turned a touch rosier, "July, stop talking nonsense, I'm just really concerned about the future of this subordinate of mine!"

Indeed, her fondness for Tang Wulin was real but not romantic; it was friendship!

If she really had to express genuine affection for someone, it could only be that man...

But he had already left, and it was time for her to step out of this illusion!

Jiang Qiyue covered her mouth, giggling, "Alright, alright, just kidding. I'm still hoping for you to become my sister-in-law!"

She glanced aside, puzzled, "Yuxue, you were saying... Eh, where did she go?"

Long Yuxue shrugged her shoulders, "She probably left early after seeing Wulin's victory, I guess!"

As for Tang Wulin on stage, he too stretched lazily, intending to leave...

But behind him, a voice full of reluctance rang out...

"Spear King, wait... If possible, I would like to have a Soul Master Battle with you!"

It was unmistakably Sima Jinchi!

Tang Wulin raised his eyebrows, "No problem, but... not now, I still have to go back and forge Two-Word Battle Armor!"

Upon hearing this, Sima Jinchi's whole body went numb, astounded he said, "You're a Forging Master??"

Tang Wulin didn't conceal it, "Yep, currently a level-7 blacksmith. If my soul power rank can break through to Soul Douluo, maybe I can try for the Eighth Grade Blacksmith."

"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now!"

Watching his retreating figure, Sima Jinchi collapsed to the ground...

He swallowed, his throat dry, not knowing what to think...

...

After leaving the usage room of the Star Dou Cabin, to celebrate Tang Wulin's advancement to the top four, the group went to the cafeteria, and of course, they invited Jiang Wuyue as well!

At this moment, there weren't many officers eating there, so they were able to stay...

Jiang Qiyue picked up a cup of strong liquor, took a deep swig, and praised generously, "Wulin, the way you humbled Sima Jinchi at the end was just too cool, really making us proud in the Blood God Army!"

Long Yuxue nodded lightly, sipping quietly, "Indeed, that Sima Jinchi's disdainful demeanor, he really wasn't very likeable! It was truly satisfying to see Wulin beat him!"

Jiang Wuyue, who was beside them, was bewildered, "July, Yuxue, what on earth are you talking about? Who's Sima Jinchi?"

Jiang Qiyue looked puzzled, "Brother, didn't you watch Wulin's duel today?"

Jiang Wuyue spoke earnestly, "No, these last few days I've been almost entirely at the Abyssal Passage!"

He had already lost his Soul Master Battle to Tang Wulin, so naturally, there was no need for him to keep up with these federation-held competitions!

Hearing this, Long Yuxue began to explain, "You see, Wulin defeated the Mad Blade Demon in the top eight of the mecha competition!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wuyue's eyes lit up with a golden light, "Really? Isn't that guy the one who comprehended the Saber Soul? It must not have been easy to defeat him!"

Even he himself was no match for that guy!

Jiang Qiyue spoke with pride, "Initially, it indeed wasn't easy, but... Wulin eventually won and has now advanced to the top four. Perhaps, he might even win the championship!"

Tang Wulin, who felt a bit embarrassed being praised, scratched his head and said, "July, don't exaggerate so much. It was just Sima Jinchi's pride that made him reveal his flaws!"

If the opponent had continued to use dual sabers, perhaps he could have won, but it definitely would not have been so easy!

Jiang Wuyue patted Tang Wulin's shoulder, "Well done, kid, I didn't expect you to reach the top four without making a fuss. Now you've got to put in more effort and bring back the championship!"

There was no longer any discord between him and Tang Wulin, and their friendship had grown even stronger due to Tang Wulin's willingness to Forge Battle Armor for him!

So, seeing Wulin advance to the top four genuinely pleased him from the bottom of his heart!

Tang Wulin pursed his lips, "But winning the championship won't be that easy..."

The strength of those who had advanced to the top four must be even more fearsome!

Sensing his worries, Jiang Wuyue decisively said, "Wulin, don't doubt yourself. We all believe in you, and besides, dinner's on me today as a celebration for your victory!"

Feeling warmed by this gesture, Tang Wulin didn't refuse...

"Then, thank you, Officer Jiang!"

…

Meanwhile, Gu Yue, who had just emerged from the Star Dou Cabin, had a complex expression on her face...

After her victory in today's advancement match, she also learned that Tang Wulin had won!

This meant that the likelihood of them facing each other in the upcoming match was very high!

With a helpless sigh, she mused, "Wulin, I hope we don't meet in the next match and can both advance to the finals."

Of course, if they did encounter each other, she would have no choice but to stop him there!

"Beep beep beep..."

Just then, her communicator, which had been silent for several months, rang again...

A gentle voice came through, "Gu Yue, how have you been recently?"

To her surprise, it was Leng Yaozhu, the Spirit Pagoda's master!

Gu Yue responded in her usual tone, "Pagoda Master, I've been doing quite well."

Leng Yaozhu's tone shifted subtly, "I heard that you advanced to the top four in the Mecha matches. You're truly the successor I've had my eyes on!"

Gu Yue fell silent for a moment before continuing, "Hmm! Maybe it's because the Star Dou Battle Network isn't widespread yet, but my opponents haven't been that strong."

The astute Leng Yaozhu detected a few unusual undertones in her voice...

"Gu Yue, why do I feel that you're not at all happy? Has something happened that's causing you a headache?"

After careful thought, Gu Yue finally spoke, "Wulin, he has also advanced to the top four!"

Upon hearing this and considering Gu Yue's mood, Leng Yaozhu understood everything...

"So that's it, you're worried about facing him in the upcoming matches?"

"Gu Yue, don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you encounter this young man, how you want to handle it is entirely up to you!"

Winning the championship in the Mecha competition would be great, but she didn't want it to be forced!
