Chapter 1467 - Gu Yuena’s Lightning Triangular Shift
Tang Wulin said, “Theoretically, it should be doable, but the operating speed must be quick. Moreover, the lightning outburst must be controlled properly and the mecha must be sufficiently durable. Otherwise, the technique can’t be completed.”
The panel judge nodded. “I think so too. However, your shifting maneuver was incredible. You’ve made a breakthrough in the movements of high-ranking mechas! I’m truly honored to have witnessed this today. If possible, may I please contact you later so you can demonstrate it for us again with the mecha provided by our Mecha Master’s Association?”
Tang Wulin considered and said, “We can discuss further after the Joust For A Spouse Festival is over. I can’t promise you anything yet.”
Sounding a little disappointed, the panel judge replied, “Then, I shall contact you by that point for sure. May I please inquire if you have named that shifting maneuver of yours earlier?”
Tang Wulin thought and said, “We can call it the ‘Lightning Triangular Shift’. It’s easy to remember.”
The panel judge said, “You see, the creator of a major game-changing mecha-operated technique can give it their own name according to the rules of our Mecha Master’s Association. You can add a prefix to the Lightning Triangular Shift.”
Tang Wulin had an idea. He said, “Then we shall name it ‘Gu Yuena’s Lightning Triangular Shift’. Consider it my gift to her.”
The panel judge smiled at once. He was about to reply when he was interrupted by Lan Fozi by his side. “Hey, hey, you’re breaking the rules! How is that allowed? If this competition is supposed to be fair for everyone, how can you present a gift as soon as you come here? That’s not right! That’s definitely not right!”
Tang Wulin spoke disdainfully, “You should present a gift too if you can! Can you?”
Lan Fozi was furious! However, he realized that he was definitely incapable of doing so upon consideration. He gave out an indignant snort and left in anger.
An attendant called out to Lan Fozi from behind, “Your Excellency, you have yet to engage in the mecha operating test.”
Lan Fozi did not even bother to turn around. “That’s just a petty test. I can’t be bothered to take it, so count my score as zero.”
Tang Wulin could not help laughing at his words. That boy was obviously incapable of operating a mecha, yet he made it sound like it was beneath him. It was rather amusing to see Lan Fozi behaving in this way.
The panel judge asked, “Are you sure about the name?”
Tang Wulin nodded and said, “That’s the one. Gu Yuena’s Lightning Triangular Shift it is.”
“Alright. We will be putting that on record. However, we will genuinely need you to perform the technique once again after naming it, seeing how the mecha from earlier exploded. Sorry to trouble you, but please come around to our Mecha Master’s Association later.”
That was a trap! No wonder the panel judge was so eager to allow Tang Wulin to name his technique. The main reason was to make sure that he would come and demonstrate it for them.
“Alright. We shall discuss more later.”
He left the panel judge with his contact number. Even though he had completed a technique as sophisticated as Gu Yuena’s Lightning Triangular Shift, according to the rules, he would not receive any points because he damaged the mecha. Moreover, the panel judge told him that he would still need to compensate them for the loss of the mecha.
Judging from the seventh round of testing, the process was much simpler compared to what the entry exam for Shrek Academy had been. The tests were mainly an opportunity to express oneself, unlike Shrek Academy, which wanted comprehensive analyses of all its students’ qualities. Not only were they testing their abilities, but also their moral character, which could be considered even more important.
The rebuilt Shrek Academy would certainly preserve its tradition of entry examination and there would even be an upgrade. Actually, some of the teaching methods from the Demon Island could be applied in Shrek Academy to a certain degree. It was the best training for one’s temperament. Of course, it should only be applied after the students had reached a certain set age.
A few batches of Shrek Academy’s students had already gone over to the Demon Island in succession. Tang Wulin could clearly tell that they had metamorphosed judging by how Wu Siduo looked at them…
“Why are you smiling? What’s there to be happy about? Don’t think that you can win over the girl just by creating your so-called Gu Yuena’s Lightning Triangular Shift.” Lan Fozi’s ferocious voice rang in his ears, breaking Tang Wulin’s train of thoughts.
He took a glance at Lan Fozi with a humorous expression. “Don’t overthink this. Anyhow, you don’t stand a chance, and your biggest competitor is there on the opposite side.”
Lan Fozi frowned. “So you’re saying that they will be doing something underhanded? If that is the case, then the decision must have been made at a higher level. What are we going to do when Miss Gu Yuena doesn’t choose us in the end?”
Tang Wulin spoke indifferently, “Stay calm. Even if the decision has already been made at the top, we still have to go through the process. If you can best Qiangu Zhangting in all areas and Gu Yuena still chooses him in the end, it’ll be very hard to justify. At the very least, the organization will be questioned as to the fairness of the completion. Therefore, I suggest you give it your all.”
Lan Fozi nodded. “I can’t just give it my all. I have to succeed. This is the first time I have ever fallen for a person. This is what I’m living for.”
Tang Wulin shrugged. “She’s also the only girl I’ve ever loved.” He took the lead and walked forward upon saying that.
Meanwhile, on the main platform, Qiangu Dongfeng was being told of the test results.
“Pagoda Master, the explosion earlier was caused by a test mecha’s failure to withstand the user’s powerful operating skill in the mecha test. It has already been handled and no one was injured.”
Qiangu Dongfeng nodded ever so slightly. “Alright then. Take care.” The Joust For A Spouse Festival had put the Spirit Pagoda’s reputation in the spotlight. Moreover, they had also received the full support of the Federation. If there was any kind of unfortunate occurrence, they would be in deep trouble. Hence, they had to pay close attention to the security of the event.
“Pagoda Master, there’s something else. Even though the participant’s operating skill had failed earlier, but his operating skill was creative. It had already been listed as a creative movement. He will be performing a full demonstration with a high-end mecha after the festival has ended in order to confirm it as an original mecha movement.
Qiangu Dongfeng smiled and took a glance at Gu Yuena by his side. He spoke smilingly, “Nana, it seems like your ability to attract is truly extraordinary! Even an outstanding mecha master is here for you, showing off his original ability.”
The attendant hesitated for a moment before he decided to speak, “Pagoda Master, the participant named the brand-new maneuver ‘Gu Yuena’s Lightning Triangular Shift’.”
This time, even Gu Yuena was stunned for a moment. Qiangu Dongfeng could not help laughing and said, “That’s quite a bold move. However, sometimes a man must do what he’s got to do to pursue a woman. What’s his identity?”
“The participant comes from the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan and his name is Yu Longyue. He has very powerful abilities and he has achieved brilliant results in the earlier tests.”
Yu Longyue? Gu Yuena’s gaze changed involuntarily upon hearing the name. ‘He has used the word ‘Longyue’ before too! Dragon Moon…Didn’t he name his battle armor Dragon Moon Song?’
It was the eighth round!
According to the staff, the eighth, ninth and tenth rounds would test their overall ability, making them more difficult than the previous tests.
A massive soul device had been placed at the eighth round’s testing ground. It was the most conspicuous device in the entire coliseum because it was extremely tall. It appeared to be over eighty meters in height and in the shape of a miniature Spirit Pagoda, making it very apparent who the sole owners were. Tang Wulin had never seen this before.
The Spirit Pagoda had gone through an awful lot of trouble in order to organize this Joust For A Spouse Festival!
Under the staff’s guidance, Tang Wulin and Lan Fozi walked side by side into the pagoda-shaped soul device.
“Next, you’ll be transported to a place similar to the spirit ascension platform. The machine transports randomly, so no two people will be placed at the same location. After entering, you are required to stay alive for as long as you can. You’ll be attacked by powerful soul beasts in there. The longer you live, the higher your score is.”
A place similar to the spirit ascension platform?
