Chapter 1972: Crushing Defeat (Please Subscribe)_1

```

Realizing the opponent's Mecha prowess was even more formidable than he had imagined, Tang Wulin ensured his focus was kept at its peak...

Gu Yue, however, gave him no time to ponder further, releasing a broad wave of missiles again...

This time, Tang Wulin didn't opt for evasion; instead, he gripped the spear in his hands, destroying the incoming missiles one by one and steadily advanced toward Gu Yue...

The audience below lit up upon seeing this, "It looks like the Spear King has found a way to cope; with this approach, he'll surely win as long as he can get close enough!"

"Too naive, I think you haven't seen the opponent's previous duels. These missiles are just to confuse the enemy! The real power is yet to come!"

"That's right, others had tried every method to engage in close combat but ended up thoroughly defeated, because the opponent isn't just a simple long-range Mecha Master!"

"Just watch, the Spear King has met his match this time, and without putting forth two hundred percent of his strength, there's no chance of victory!!"

As Tang Wulin gradually drew closer, Gu Yue showed no sign of panic; instead, she smiled, "That's a pretty good idea, but Wulin, how will you dodge this attack?"

The Soul-guided Cannon Ports on the Mecha slightly changed in caliber, and the attack that fired out had turned into a purple-blue beam!

There was no way to block it with close-range weapons, lest one gets peppered with holes!

Fully aware of this, Tang Wulin was forced to choose a strategic evasion...

He couldn't help cursing inwardly, "Damn it, how many long-range weapons is she equipped with on that Mecha!"

A normal Mecha Master, who would turn their Mecha into such a purely mobile artillery platform?!

...

During the Soul Master Battle, atop the dueling stage...

Hearing Yuanen Yehui's words full of absolute confidence, the man felt a deep humiliation and bellowed, "How long can I hold on? Don't be smug, even if you've switched your Martial Soul, I am confident in shattering all your attacks!"

"Sixth Soul Skill, Scorching Sun Soul Cleaving Slash!"

His Sky-opening Axe increased in size visibly to the naked eye, expanding to over ten meters in length in just a few seconds...

Yuanen Yehui merely glanced at it, and the second soul ring beneath her feet lit up...

"Second Soul Skill, Dark Devil Sword!"

The Fallen Angel clasped her hands together and drew forth a demonic sword exuding an evil aura, bravely meeting the Sky-opening Axe coming down from above...

The collision produced a fierce shockwave. Yuanen Yehui only took a step back, while the man was forced back five steps...

His pupils shrank as he clenched his fist, "How is this possible? She, with just her second soul skill, can actually match me using my sixth soul skill!"

This meant that the opponent's attack power was far more terrifying than his own!

Yuanen Yehui didn't say much, "Fifth Soul Skill, Demon's Eye"

The Fallen Angel behind her extended its hands as if praying devoutly...

Then, a giant, sinister Demon's Eye emerged above the entire dueling stage...

It seemed to see everything within the battleground...

The man, growing apprehensive in his heart, thought to himself, "This is... a Domain-Class Soul Skill. I must destroy that giant Demon's Eye, or I stand no chance of winning!"

"Third Soul Skill, Sky Cleaving!"

```

Without a doubt, he aimed his Demonic Eye towards the sky and slashed...

Having anticipated such a move, Yuanen Yehui was not about to sit by and wait for death. She once again said, "First Soul Skill, Fallen Heaven Curtain!"

A pitch-black curtain gradually rose around the Demon's Eye, completely enveloping it...

When the man's Sky-opening Axe struck the black curtain, it was as if he had hit iron bones and steel muscles, unable to penetrate the slightest bit!

This scene caused many spectators to widen their eyes, "What horrifying power, is this the strength of the Fallen Angel Martial Spirit? Has it taken the upper hand just like that?"

"That's right, just the Second Soul Skill alone is able to contend with the opponent's Sixth Soul Skill, and this Demonic Eye, it always gives me an ominous feeling, as if by continuously gazing at it, one would be sucked into an endless abyss!"

"Didn't you notice? Her First Soul Skill seems to be able to control the space eroded by the black curtain, which means, it's obviously unlikely to destroy that Demonic Eye!"

"Although I don't know what will happen next, I always feel that the balance of the entire duel has completely tipped in favor of Yuanen Yehui!"

Having failed to make an impact, the man continued to swing his Sky-opening Axe at the black curtain like a madman, roaring, "How can it not be cleaved open, it's impossible, it's impossible!!!"

He had always prided himself on his immense offensive power, yet today, that pride was utterly shattered!

In response to his performance, Yuanen Yehui remained calm throughout, for this was her Domain skill, the effect of the Demon's Eye!

As long as one remained within the range of the Demon's Eye, even a hint of emotion in the heart would be infinitely magnified until it affected the person's sea of consciousness!

The man's frenzied attacks were clear indications that the unwillingness in his heart had been crazily amplified!

Yuanen Yehui instantly flashed behind him, and said coldly, "This duel, is over!!"

With those words, the Dark Devil Sword aimed for his heart and stabbed...

Unexpectedly, at the moment of crisis, the former managed to break free from the control of the Demon's Eye and narrowly avoided the strike...

He gasped for air with a lingering fear, thinking, "That was close, if I hadn't broken free in time, my heart would have already been pierced by this demonic sword!!"

...

Tang Wulin's consciousness gradually awoke, and he stood up from the Star Dou Cabin with a wry smile on his face, "Indeed, I've lost!"

Indeed, in the finals of the mecha competition, he was utterly defeated without even touching a corner of his opponent's clothing!

Meanwhile, Long Yuxue and others who had witnessed Tang Wulin's defeat in the duel rushed to find him immediately...

Long Yuxue said softly in consolation, "Wulin, don't lose heart. Although you lost the final, it's just because you've had too little time practicing with the mecha, which doesn't prove anything!"

Jiang Wuyue also patted his shoulder and said earnestly, "That's right, to be able to reach the finals after less than a month of training with Ling Wuyue is already amazing!"

Jiang Qiyue chimed in, "Wulin, don't feel burdened, even without winning the championship, you've still earned plenty of honor for the Blood God Army!"

Tang Wulin pursed his lips, "Thanks everyone for your concern. But my state of mind is not that fragile!"

Moreover, he was already mentally prepared for a loss in this duel!

He just didn't expect to lose so quickly, and so miserably, that's all!
