Chapter 997: Blood Soul Fusion Skill

These were true black mecha weapons, and they were leaving arcs of lightning flashing in their wake. They were drawing upon the power of lightning, and all of Tang Wulin's Bluesilver Emperor vines that came into contact with them were instantly paralyzed and fell limp to the ground. Even though the vines weren't being destroyed, the two boomerangs were still hurtling directly toward Tang Wulin with unstoppable force.

"Nice!"

Under normal circumstances, a black mecha's combat prowess should be comparable to that of a seven-ring Soul Sage, and that was also the case for Tang Wulin in his suit of two-word battle armor.

However, such simple blanket rules couldn't be applied to the likes of Ling Wuyue and Tang Wulin as both of them possessed far greater combat prowess than other beings of the same caliber.

The Golden Dragon Spear shuddered slightly before being thrust forward once again, and on this occasion, several dozens of spear projections erupted forth, encompassing both of the oncoming boomerangs. At the same time, Tang Wulin unleashed his Golden Dragon Body.

His golden dragon scales fused as one with his Dragon Moon battle armor, making the suit of battle armor appear even thicker and heavier than before. At the same time, his aura instantly erupted toward the direction that his spear projections had been aimed.

"Clang, clang!" Both of the boomerangs were struck and instantly flung into the air. However, much to his surprise, the boomerangs that had just been sent flying by him were rotating at an even faster speed than before. At the same time, they flew past him on either side, and it appeared that the crisis had been averted, but Tang Wulin could immediately sense an even greater threat approaching him from behind.

At the same time, the black mecha rushed directly toward him from the front, wielding the martial soul boomerang in its hand.

In contrast with before, the boomerang had turned into a scorching white color again, and its aura had been elevated significantly as it radiated dazzling white light.

Was this battle armor enhancement? Had she released her suit of battle armor as well?

Tang Wulin could sense that there had been a qualitative increase in the power of the boomerang, and only battle armor could provide such a significant enhancement. However, he could sense that Ling Wuyue most likely only possessed a suit of one-word battle armor. Otherwise, the enhancements would've only been even more fearsome.

The black mecha was over eight meters tall, yet it was extremely fast and agile. It closed down the distance between itself and Tang Wulin in a flash, and a streak of scintillating light came crashing down directly toward his head.

She was using her boomerang like a scimitar, and she had found a chink in the defenses of the Golden Dragon Spear in a flash before exploiting it to her advantage.

Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Spear swung around, and it tremored slightly as a vast expanse of spear projections appeared before him.

The spear projections came into contact with the black mecha's protective barrier, and a piercing screeching sound rang out as a gash was torn into the protective barrier. Meanwhile, Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Spear had finally also withstood the attack from the boomerang.

However, right at this moment, the two mecha boomerangs that had just flown past him both arrived at the same time. They were targeting Tang Wulin's neck and lower back, both of which were vital regions that he had no choice but to defend. The timing and coordination of her attacks were simply perfect.

It appeared that the three boomerangs had reached him at the same time, but they had actually arrived in a slightly staggered sequential order, and that was making them even more troublesome for Tang Wulin to deal with.

"Clang!" The first one to make contact was the martial soul boomerang.

The powers of Tang Wulin and the black mecha clashed through their respective weapons, and right at this moment, Ling Wuyue suddenly discovered that the surface of Tang Wulin's Dragon Moon battle armor had taken on a mirror-like appearance. 

The two mecha boomerangs that were flashing with lightning had already arrived, yet Tang Wulin's wings abruptly rose up, striking the two boomerangs like a pair of powerful guillotines.

"Boom, boom!" Two thunderous explosions erupted as both of the boomerangs were sent flying. Meanwhile, Ling Wuyue could only look on in astonishment as light began to flash at a rapid rate from Tang Wulin's Dragon Moon battle armor. Immediately thereafter, a lightning dragon erupted from Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Spear before striking the martial soul boomerang in a violent manner. 

"Boom!" Ling Wuyue's black mecha was sent flying backward like a cannonball. Tang Wulin pointed his Golden Dragon Spear forward, and a loud dragon's roar immediately rang out. All of the Bluesilver Emperor vines that he'd released sprang up almost in complete synchronicity, and a dazzling golden color encompassed all of the Bluesilver Emperor vines, making them resemble giant dragons that were radiating golden light. A golden dragon erupted from his Golden Dragon Spear, and with the injections of energy from the surrounding Bluesilver Emperor vines, it abruptly expanded, instantly reaching a massive size that exceeded the stature of the black mecha before reaching Ling Wuyue in a flash.

What kind of soul skill was this?

An astonished look appeared on Ling Wuyue's face as the fifth soul ring on her martial soul boomerang instantly lit up. The boomerang was then hurled through the air and crashed into the golden dragon before self-detonating into a ball of scorching white light.

However, as soon as the golden dragon clashed with the explosion, it merely brandished one of its dragon claws before slamming it into the ball of light, and the latter was immediately shattered. In the next instant, the golden dragon arrived right in front of the black mecha, and Ling Wuyue felt as if her breathing had completely stopped.

It was as if her black mecha had been plunged into an extremely viscous swamp, and the terrifying pressure in the surrounding area was quickly crushing the protective barrier of her black mecha. She injected her soul power into her mecha with all her might, but that was only delaying its inevitable destruction.

Was he this powerful? No wonder Jiang Wuyue was willing to readily admit that he was no match for Tang Wulin. Throughout his entire battle, this was the only real attack that he'd unleashed, yet just this attack alone was already far too powerful for her to withstand.

Ling Wuyue had been unwilling to accept her defeat in the aftermath of their mecha battle, yet in this instant, she was truly made aware of just how massive the gulf between her and her opponent was. Even an eight-ring Soul Douluo may not be able to escape completely unscathed in the face of such a devastating attack.

Tang Wulin looked at the Golden Dragon Spear in his hand, then turned his gaze toward his golden Bluesilver Emperor vines, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

This was the first time that he'd used a fusion skill between his martial soul and bloodline.

This could be considered to be a self-martial soul fusion skill, but it wasn't purely a martial soul fusion skill. As such, Tang Wulin coined the term blood soul fusion skill for it as it was a fusion between his bloodline and martial soul.

This technique was going to be known as Blue Emperor Dragon Shocks the Heavens!

The golden dragon circled around in the air, and the black mecha's protective barrier was finally completely destroyed, laying it bare like a vulnerable little lamb in the face of the giant golden dragon. The golden dragon finally stopped before turning around and revolving around Tang Wulin's body for a few seconds before gradually vanishing into nothingness.

Tang Wulin was also internally quite stunned as this Blue Emperor Dragon Shocks the Heavens had expended around 10% of his bloodline power. Due to the fact that there was a mismatch between his soul power and bloodline power, as much as 30% of the former had been expended.

In other words, even if he were to give everything he had, he would only be able to use this blood soul fusion skill for a maximum of three times.

Of course, Blue Emperor Dragon Shocks the Heavens was most definitely not his most powerful blood soul fusion skill. The most extraordinary element of his blood soul fusion skills lay in their diversity and variations. All of his martial soul and bloodline skills could be fused in any combination, and that included his self-invented soul skills as well.

As such, this was only the beginning for him. He would only become truly powerful after he elevated both his bloodline power and soul power to the Titled Douluo level.

The black mecha landed on the ground with a resounding boom, and Tang Wulin also spread his wings before slowly descending onto the ground. He withdrew his dragon wings and held his Golden Dragon Spear by his side while giving his opponent a nod of acknowledgment.

Light flashed, and Ling Wuyue emerged out of her mecha with a very pale complexion. Her black mecha hadn't really been harmed at all, but she knew that if Tang Wulin had intended to do so, he could've completely demolished her black mecha.

Tang Wulin had done that as this was only a sparring match, after all, but his massive golden dragon had left a very deep impression on her.

She now understood that Tang Wulin could've beaten her during the mecha battle in the Star Battle Net even without releasing his Tyrant Dragon soul spirit. Instead, he could've easily crushed her with that terrifying soul skill of his. However, he had refrained from doing so, and that was most likely a choice that had been in an effort to conceal his powers in preparation for his upcoming matches.

As such, she had lost fair and square.

"You win." Ling Wuyue pursed her lips tightly and immediately turned to leave.

"Senior!" Tang Wulin withdrew his Dragon Moon battle armor before quickly catching up to her.

Ling Wuyue stopped in her tracks, and she didn't even turn around as she said, "What do you want? If you want to insult me, then go right ahead; that's a right that you're entitled to as the victor."

Tang Wulin scratched his head. "Why would I do that? We're comrades, not enemies! I was just wondering if you could teach me some mecha piloting skills."

Ling Wuyue faltered slightly, and she finally turned around to appraise Tang Wulin with a puzzled look in her eyes. "You want to learn mecha piloting skills from me?"

Tang Wulin nodded with a wry smile, and said, "I'm sure that you can tell that in terms of pure skills and technique, I'm completely no match for you, and I was only able to defeat you through brute strength. My mecha piloting skills are lagging significantly behind all of my other abilities, so I would like to learn mecha piloting skills from you." He extended a deep bow toward Ling Wuyue as he spoke.

He saw no shame in doing this as he was serious about learning from her.
