Chapter 433 – Duo Mecha Master
TL : GoldenLung
Lan Xuanyu asked, “Then can your mecha survive in this environment ?”
Tang Yuge shook her head. “That’s impossible. Even a black rank mecha wouldn’t be able to last for long in that kind of metal storm. The s.h.i.+eld’s energy consumption is too fast. Only G.o.d rank mechas would be able to come and go as they please. However, the advantage of a mecha is that it is very heavy. If it was the whirlwind we met inside the ring-shaped mountain, as long as one is prepared beforehand, it should be able to resist it. Also, a mecha can return faster by relying on its flying speed. As for the outside, I can use the autopilot mode. It is made of metal and won’t be targeted by the Metal Spirits here. I have enough s.p.a.ce in my ring for everyone to store the rare metals. Even if the mecha can’t be brought back and is damaged halfway, the value of the rare metals is still higher.”
“How much did you buy this mecha of yours?” Yuanen Huihui could not help but ask.
Tang Yuge glanced at him and said, “10 purple emblems.”
Hearing her words, everyone gasped. Lan Mengqin couldn’t help but ask, “Are purple mechas that expensive?”
Tang Yuge said, “This is not only a purple mecha, but it is also specially customized for me. In the future, I can upgrade and modify it relatively easily, which is why it is more expensive. The average mecha is much cheaper.”
Lan Xuanyu couldn’t help but gain a whole new level of respect for her. 10 purple emblems wasn’t a small sum. To think that Tang Yuge, who was in her third year, could actually earn that much. She was indeed extraordinary! She was indeed the number one person among the third years.
“Yuge, how about this? If your mecha is successfully brought back, then forget what I will say. But if it is damaged during the trip, then we will first deduct the same amount of resources for compensating the loss of this mecha and then share the rest. How about it?”
“Alright.” Tang Yuge wasn’t pretentious. In fact, this purple mecha could be said to be her entire fortune. She only managed to gather the money for the mecha by chance and luck, and a portion of it was borrowed while the other portion was supported by her family. Otherwise, how could she have a soul storage ring and mecha?
In the Outer Court, even sixth years might not be able to complete the Duo Mecha Master cla.s.s.
“Alright, everyone, let’s hurry up and make good use of our time.” Because of the surprise due to seeing the mecha, everyone had stopped what they were doing.
Tang Yuge’s storage ring had a storage s.p.a.ce of 10 cubic meters, and they didn’t have much time to fill it up.
Everyone went all out as time ticked by.
Finally, when there were 12 hours left until the end of the test, Lan Xuanyu called for a stop.
Qian Lei’s head was drenched in sweat. He took off his helmet and wiped it as he said to Lan Xuanyu, “It’s not full yet! Can’t we continue a bit more ?”
“We can’t continue anymore. I took a look at the amount of oxygen we have. We have been exercising for a long time and have consumed a lot of oxygen. Everyone, rest for an hour and we will set off immediately. No matter how good the rare metals here are, it is only good if we can bring them back.”
Everyone stopped talking and went to rest. After an hour, everyone was more or less recovered and prepared to head back.
With the previous lesson, they naturally wouldn’t make the same mistake again. After making ample preparations, Tang Yuge controlled her mecha and flew into the ring-shaped mountain range. The others moved at the same time and ran towards the ring-shaped mountain as fast as they could.
They were very close to the ring-shaped mountain, and with their full speed, they were able to charge into the ring-shaped mountain before the metal storm was fully formed. This time, they were finally safe.
“We’re safe now.” Seeing that the metal storm in the distance didn’t invade the territory of the Earth Spirits’ mountain, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Tang Yuge also safely retrieved her mecha. “I’ll use my mecha to open up a path for everyone. It shouldn’t be a problem for us to avoid the main gathering spot of the Earth Spirit.”
As she spoke, she walked towards her mecha. The breastplate of her mecha split open. Right at this moment, a green light flashed on Tang Yuge’s body and every joint on her body lit up with a green light. The green light spread and covered her entire body.
It was a set of light armor that was made very meticulously. The armor covered her entire body and didn’t look very st.u.r.dy, and instead looked like a tight-fitting suit.
At the same time, her purple mecha emitted a faint green light that complemented the green light she released.
Tang Yuge leaped into the air with the tip of her toes. Immediately, a green light shot out from the chest area of the mecha and shone on her body, pulling her into the mecha.
Tang Yuge turned around in midair and her back was the first to merge into the mecha. The two green lights fused together and her entire body seemed to have been embedded into the mecha.
Battle Armor! That cyan, tight-fitting suit of hers was a Battle Armor, right?
The others looked on enviously. This was the first time most of them had seen a Battle Armor. Tang Yuge’s Battle Armor was undoubtedly very suitable for her. That green color emitted a gentle life aura; it wasn’t the wind attribute but the wood attribute. It was the first of her five elements.
The metal that she used to build the mecha should also be related to the wood attribute and complemented well with her Battle Armor. When the two fused together, a rich life energy immediately gushed out. The mecha then raised its head and the humanoid body’s eyes immediately lit up as green light spewed out.
Seeing this scene, Lan Xuanyu was greatly moved. This was the true Duo Mecha Armor mastery! Battle armor and mecha’s attributes were very similar.
When Tang Yuge chose her One-Word Battle Armor and her first basic mecha, she chose the wood element of the five elements. This meant that her Battle Armor and mecha would be made according to the order of her five elements. The five elements engendered each other and this made the fusion easier. There was not a single bit of waste and it could even be described as perfect.
“Let’s go.” Tang Yuge’s voice came from the mecha. A green light shot out from its back and it immediately flew up.
“Let’s go to the left first. There are no whirlwinds in this direction.” Under the strong enhancement of both her Battle Armor and Mechay, Tang Yuge’s perception had improved greatly. She led the way for everyone.
Seeing her in this state, Lan Xuanyu and the rest finally understood how lucky they were to be able to defeat the third years. They didn’t even need to use their mechas. If Tang Yuge had worn her Battle Armor and fought with them, they wouldn’t have had a chance at all!
At this moment, Tang Yuge had already cultivated to rank 60 and had the Five Elements Escape Technique. With the enhancement from the Duo Mecha Master mastery, all of them were probably not her match. Even Yuanen Huihui, who had the closest cultivation to her, would not be able to catch up to her easily.
The journey back was much smoother than when they first arrived. With Tang Yuge and her extremely strong perception leading the way, the number of times they needed to form an ice house to fight against a whirlwind was greatly reduced. In just seven hours, they arrived near the base. There were still four hours left until the end of the test.
Of course, they didn’t waste this period of time. Not far from the base, they started digging again at the place where the Heavenly Spiritual Iron was produced. Finally, they filled up their storage rings and returned to the base.
They were the last to return. When they saw the other students, they saw that everyone was covered in dust and dirt. Their expressions were different; some were frowning while others were grinning happily. Obviously, everyone had different gains.
Seeing that the ten of them had returned together, the others subconsciously turned to look at Lan Xuanyu. He was the most skilled in creating miracles in the cla.s.s.
Other than Lan Xuanyu’s teammates, the rest of the students were still unconvinced by him because Lan Xuanyu had always been the weakest in the cla.s.s when it came to soul power. He was the weakest in the cla.s.s, yet he had led his team to create miracles and obtain great results. During the final exam this time it was not just one or two people who wanted to best him. An end-of-term exam was the best opportunity for everyone to prove themselves.
