Tang Wulin"s conviction was unshakeable . Even though he knew his opponents strength and his own chances, he refused to budge even the slightest bit . Sheng Feilong stretched his shoulders before smiling at Tang Wulin .
"Alright, I guess that"s good enough of a reason . I didn"t really care about it before and only joined you because Luo Guixing and those guys were just too arrogant, but now you"ve got me hooked . "
He paused a moment and his smile was replaced with a solemn expression, the same determined glint that Tang Wulin had shown before, flashing through his eyes .
"Since it"s like this, we won"t just win; We"ll crush them . " He glanced at Ye Xinglan, who lightly nodded her head without a word and then looked back at Tang Wulin .
"Forge us a piece of Star Silver . Gu Yue has already finished the design for your hand armour . Xinglan and I will built the gauntlet . "
Tang Wulin"s eyes widened . "You"ll built it? But there"s only three day"s time left . " Sheng Feilong looked at him with the same determined expression as before before he spoke in an indifferent voice .
"So what? With two fifth ranked Mecha Makers working on it, we"ll get it done in two . "
Everyone was shocked when Sheng Feilong spoke of a second fifth rank Mecha Maker and immediately turned to Ye Xinglan . She still had her cold expression on her face and indifferently told them, that she"d been at the fifth rank all along, saying that since Sheng Feilong was a fifth ranked Mecha Maker as well, there"d be no need to hide it .
Just after she finished, Tang Wulin"s Soul Communicator rung as his teacher was calling him to the Blacksmith"s a.s.sociation . He excused himself and after about half an hour, he returned with a red haired and red bearded middle aged man in tow . Even though he was also around the same height as Tang Wulin despite being an adult, his muscular build spoke for itself! Everyone recognized that man as Shrek Academy"s Blacksmith"s a.s.sociation"s President, the Blazing Dragon Douluo, Feng Wuyu; He was a rank 8 Saint Blacksmith and Tang Wulin"s blacksmithing teacher!
Tang Wulin asked Ye Xinglan to show Feng Wuyu the Jade Silver and was shocked that Tang Wulin had actually managed to create one . Apparently, Tang Wulin had told him, that he did so with Sheng Feilong"s help, as Feng Wuyu intently eyed Sheng Feilong after seeing the result .
"Kid, you used a Soul Skill to increase Wulin"s perception? What"s its limits? Can you use it on people stronger than you?"
"There aren"t any clear limits, but Soul Power doesn"t really matter, Senior . Though, the stronger the other party"s Spirit Power, the more straining it is to maintain the Soul Skill . If their Spirit Power is higher than mine, it doesn"t work at all . ", Sheng Feilong replied with a respectful tone . Feng Wuyu squinted his eyes and continued to intently stare at Sheng Feilong before squeezing out a single other line .
"What"s you Spirit Power?"
Sheng Feilong smiled wryly; He knew he wouldn"t get out of this easily .
"The last time I measured it was about 1 and a half months ago . It"s remained stable at 4 . 735 since then . " Other then Feng Wuyu, who just stared at Sheng Feilong with slightly shaky eyes, everyone else froze entirely . This was the first time they heard about Sheng Feilong"s actual Spirit Power . Before they came to Shrek, the person with the greatest talent in Spirit Power they knew was Gu Yue .
Although Gu Yue"s Spirit Power was incredible, she couldn"t compare to Sheng Feilong at all . She had just entered the Spirit Sea realm at age 11, and had now increased her Spirit Power to over 1 . 000, but to compare that to Sheng Feilong"s over 4 . 700? That was simply a joke .
Feng Wuyu quickly got his composure back, but still looked at Sheng Feilong with a disbelieving gaze . However, he really couldn"t let this gem get away, so he extended an "invitation" in a casual tone .
"That"s not enough to be of help to me, but I"ll be good for other blacksmiths to experience this state of heightened perception . Come around to the Blacksmith"s a.s.sociation some time and help us out there . You"ll get paid in contribution points, of course . "
After that, he went for the door, quickly being reminded of some bet by Tang Wulin, before he smashed the door shut . Everyone snapped out of their daze and bugged Sheng Feilong about his Spirit Soul, how his Spirit Power could be so high, how he trained and every possible question along those lines . After a long while of questioning, they were finally satisfied and got back to the situation at hand . Discussing about their precise plans for a while longer, Ye Xinglan and Sheng Feilong went to the Maker"s a.s.sociation with a newly created piece of Star Silver with a harmony rating of 92 and began the creation of Tang Wulin"s Battle Armour gauntlet .
Initially, Sheng Feilong had a hard time . Compared to building a Mecha, building a Battle Armour required an entirely different approach . If a Mecha were to be called a big, complicated Machine, then a Battle Armour would be a second skin for the Soul Master; The process to create Battle Armour is arduous and mentally straining . Both, Sheng Feilong and Ye Xinglan, had no experience in building Battle Armour and could only do their best in following the design .
Still, both of them persisted through and gave it their all to the best of their abilities, tirelessly working to get the gauntlet working . They even skipped cla.s.ses and remained inside their workshop for the whole time, even sleeping there if needed! As Sheng Feilong had said, it took them about two days to finish the gauntlet . Afterwards, they invited Tang Wulin over to have him fuse with the armour and make some last adjustments .
There was one more day until the cla.s.s representative selection tournament would be held and their team had finished all preparations already . They choose to rest for the day, much to the delight of Sheng Feilong; Even though Ye Xinglan had done the most work as she couldn"t partic.i.p.ate in the tournament, the workload was still straining on Sheng Feilong . He spent the whole day in bed, only getting up after noon to cultivate until it was time to go to sleep again . This day might be the laziest Sheng Feilong had even been in his life .
Morning came early and Sheng Feilong quickly got ready and made his way to the cla.s.sroom . Shen Yi took the whole cla.s.s to one of Shrek Academy"s training facilities for the tournament where they would fight it out with live combat instead of virtual combat! After a full day of rest, everyone other than Ye Xinglan was already in peak condition . Even though no one had seen her or Sheng Feilong in the last three days, Tang Wulin and the others made sure to cover up their effort of creating the Battle Armour gauntlet for Tang Wulin; Their team were the only people who knew about it .
When Shen Yi brought them to the facility, their cla.s.ses vice-teacher, Wu Zhangkong was already waiting their . He was not only a alumni of Shrek Academy"s Inner Court, but also the teacher of Tang Wulin and his friends when they were at the Intermediate Academy; He only came back to Shrek with them! Other then Shen Yi and him, there was another person who no one of the students expected to come; The Holy Spirit Douluo!
Not only were the students shocked that a t.i.tled Douluo would oversee their tournament, a few had even heard of the Holy Spirit Douluo before, and word about her quickly spread through the cla.s.s; The Holy Spirit Douluo didn"t just have an imposing name and power, she was also the only t.i.tled Douluo-level healer of the Douluo Continent!
Her reputation would soon be proven true as the tournament"s first round would begin . The students had split up into 17 teams and Wu Zhankong and Shen Yi had decided to have them fight in a knock-out tournament . Tang Wulin got lucky and got the emtpy lot, causing their team to advance to the second round without having to fight . Everyone else was paired to fight one of the other teams and, as to be expected of Shrek Academy, even the first round was already fierce . Still, the teachers and the Holy Spirit Douluo would make a move if someone was in dire straits or a clear victor had emerged .
With the Holy Spirit Douluo"s healing abilities, no one had to reserve their strength as they would be in peak condition even before the next round began, causing the students to fight even more vigorously . The first round soon ended and only 9 teams remained . This time, Luo Guixing"s team drew the empty lot and directly advanced to the third round . By now, many people could already guess the teachers intention; This tournament was only a farce and would most likely end with Luo Guixing"s and Tang Wulin"s teams facing each other in the finals!
When it was time to fight, Sheng Feilong and the others ascended the arena and easily won their fight under Tang Wulin"s leadership . Sheng Feilong even held back and didn"t use his Spirit Soul, but only his Spirit Power to suppress the opponents . Their opponents were by far the weakest team in the second round, anyways, so it wasn"t a problem and Tang Wulin and the others understood that Sheng Feilong simply didn"t want to give Luo Guixing and his team informations about his spirit Soul .
The second round pa.s.sed, and for the third round, only 5 teams remained . The contestants eyed each other before one of them stepped up and admitted defeat for his team . Sheng Feilong was surprised as they were one of the teams that took this compet.i.tion the most serious until know, but quickly understood when the two other teams also admitted defeat right after the first one; Only them and Luo Guixing"s team remained .
Seeing this, the Holy Spirit Douluo lightly smiled as she looked at the remaining teams . All of them were in top condition and there wasn"t anything to worry about . With Ye Xinglan being banned from partic.i.p.ating, their teams also were of the same size with six people on either side . She reamined seated at the side of the arena and lightly spoke to the students .
"Since there"s only two teams remaining, it seems we"ll have to bring the tournament"s finals forward a bit . Tang Wulin"s and Luo Guixing"s teams, you may step onto the arena . "
