The Legend of the Dragon King (Web Novel)
chapter-1030

Mecha Number 161 bent its knees slightly before throwing the standard shield it held. He then displayed a series of powerful defensive techniques.

The shield's protective surface shattered the instant it came into contact with the energy at the point of the spear. However, from his squatting position, he raised his shield horizontally, pushing up the spear's tip and altering the direction of its attack to a small degree.

Tang Wulin's attack was so powerful and had such a domineering aura that his opponent could not defend himself from it easily.

However, Tang Wulin saw a series of shield shadows erupting from the round shield. The shield shadows piled on top of each other, pushing themselves under the spear. They continued stacking upward, as if forming a pyramid, lifting the spear layer by layer.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. When Tang Wulin's spear reached the other mecha, it had already missed his opponent's shoulder. He could not even stab at his torso.

His opponent's mecha suddenly sprung up from its squatting position. The stack of shield shadows moved upward as the lower shadows pushed against those above. The shield shadows grew larger as they were being stacked together and lifted Tang Wulin's spear. At the same time, his other hand with his martial soul shield swept horizontally toward Tang Wulin's belly. The edge of the shield shone with an abnormally sharp dark golden halo.

Tang Wulin wielded his spear with both hands. While he secretly praised his opponent for his skillful defensive maneuvers, he leaned back with his waist and spread his legs. The pole of his spear crashed downward with the momentum of his descending body toward his opponent's sideways-crashing shield.

The spear's pole and shield clashed together with the sound of an explosion. The stack of shield shadows made the standard shield appear to be twice its original size. The enlarged portions were completely made up of dark golden shadows. Without a doubt, his opponent had utilized his soul skill. This shield was swung horizontally, this time aimed at Tang Wulin's spear.

After being stacked upon ten times, this attack's offensive power was raised to a whole new level.

Tang Wulin snorted. The spear in his hands turned the color of platinum. A surge of extremely dense blood essence suddenly exploded from his body. The spear in his hands maintained its position steadfastly and blocked his opponent's shield stubbornly.

Was this a contest of strength?

"Boom!"

The shadow on the standard shield shattered and rebounded to its owner. On the other hand, Tang Wulin's spear did not budge an inch. The spear's glow, that was a few feet long, suddenly exploded and countless phantom spears burst forth in front of him. They also appeared to be like stacked shadows, but Tang Wulin's spear's energy resembled a forest of shadows. He wielded it like long pole and swung it directly at his opponent.

Mecha Number 161 clearly froze for a moment. He obviously did not expect Tang Wulin's mecha to be so formidable in terms of strength. He forcefully retracted his pair of shields and protected himself with them as he attempted to block Tang Wulin's phantom spears.

However, this time, Tang Wulin had infused his bloodline power into his mecha. His entire mecha shone with a platinum luster. Although his shields had displayed ingenious defenses, it was still steadily losing ground under the sheer difference in strength.

Suddenly, Mecha Number 161 started contracting. With a strange howl, the tortoise shell patterns on his dark golden shield's surface burst out as an energy field and engulfed his mecha. They formed a ball of light and were knocked away after colliding with Tang Wulin's phantom spears, instantly increasing the distance between them.

What a clever application!

Just when Tang Wulin had prepared himself to follow up with more attacks, his vision suddenly blurred. Everything in his field of view suddenly changed, and he felt dizzy. 'This is...a spatial shockwave?'

He barely had the time to react when a powerful suction force came at him, pulling so strongly that his mecha staggered forward.

The spectators saw Number 161's body flash with light, and then he and Tang Wulin had swapped positions. Mecha Number 161 swung his shield toward Tang Wulin, and a giant black hand seemed to have appeared in the air. Making a single gesture toward Tang Wulin's mecha, he staggered toward him in a forward charge.

This was melee master stroke Spatial Displacement?

Number 161 immediately flung out his pair of shields and a mass of shield shadows was formed, blotting out the sky.

Behind him, the shadow of a giant tortoise appeared and gave off a powerful aura.

The Black Tortoise Shield!

During their collision a few moments ago, Number 161 had already observed that this Number 66 before him was not an opponent that could be dealt with easily. It was his first time meeting someone with strength as powerful as his. They were both using melee mechas, therefore, strength would be a key factor which could tip the match in either direction. If his opponent was able to enhance his own strength so much that he was unable to block his attacks with his shield, then his chances of winning through reckless struggle would be slim. The battle skills displayed by Tang Wulin just now rivaled his own!

Number 161 had a rich experience in mecha battles. He had made his decision, at the first moment, to burst out with explosive strength and fight for his own victory!

That was why he had unleashed two of his trademark soul skills. Firstly, he swapped places with Tang Wulin to disrupt his momentum. Then, he used the skill Pull. This was spatial law's Pull, and strength alone would not be able to stop it. That was why Tang Wulin's mecha was flying toward him and his series of all-out attacks.

He would accomplish his task in one stroke!

As Tang Wulin experienced a brief moment of shock, the spear in his hands was already held out horizontally before him. His opponent's soul skills had taken effect too quickly. They were so quick that by the time he had registered what happened, the shield shadow was already in front of his nose. This meant that he did not even have the time to brandish his spear while his opponent was striking him at full strength.

The ability to remain calm in the face of disaster was definitely an outstanding characteristic, and Tang Wulin was a person who had such qualities.

When he was faced with his opponent's overwhelming attack, a hint of idea crossed his mind and his fifth golden soul ring shone silently. His fifth bloodline ring soul skill which he had used against Ma Shan before was finally unleashed again. He did not fuse it with a soul skill. It was purely a bloodline soul ring skill.

Instantly, in Number 161's eyes, Number 66's body seemed to have phantom-like shadows. Then, his shield landed on Tang Wulin's spear and mecha.

The instant his attack hit, he felt that something was off. The strength from his own attack seemed to have vanished like a rock plummeting into the sea. The impact of his attack was dispersed by a series of slight vibrations. Shortly after, the vibrations suddenly intensified explosively. The feeling was terrifying.

"Boom!" All could see that Number 66 was the one who had been attacked, but it was Number 161 that was sent flying.

Tang Wulin's mecha had returned to normal after manifesting ghostlike afterimages for a brief moment. It was as if it had done nothing. At that moment, he had ridden the momentum and stabbed out with his spear. His spear's light converged into one as he dove straight for his enemy!

The intense vibrations made Mecha Number 161 and its mecha master stiffen momentarily. He felt a surge of terrifying strength continuously erupting within his body.

Even with Ma Shan's Soul Douluo-ranked cultivation base, he was still sent reeling after being hit with this skill of Tang Wulin's. This time, Tang Wulin had restrained himself somewhat, choosing not to blast out in all directions to conserve some energy. However, it was no less terrifying.

His spear passed between the two shields. The spear's light shone brightly and swiftly stabbed through Number 161's body. Shortly after, the waves of vibrations appeared again.

The intense sound of the explosion came from within Number 161's body this time. Under the gaze of the shocked spectators, Mecha Number 161 was blasted into countless shards which sprayed across the skies and scattered all over.

Number 66 floated slowly to the ground, looking like a pillar that held up the skies!

This…

The audience members were all dumbfounded. This competition was not broadcast live throughout the network, but the spectators could still look this match up and watch it. At the same time, there were many who had a Star Dou Cabin and had entered the Battle Network to watch this match.

Without a doubt, this was definitely a battle that was filled with astonishing occurrences. From the start of the match until the end, almost every second was a clash between brains and brawn. The explosion of strength Tang Wulin displayed in the end had shocked the masses greatly.
