1293 Waste Of Time?

After making some small talk, Dai Yueyan spoke a little irritated, "I truly didn't expect our encounter to be under such circumstances. Frankly, I'd prefer to fight you on the competition stage. If that were the case, perhaps I'll still stand a chance to redeem myself." He could not help himself but burst out laughing. 

Tang Wulin smiled. "We can spar any time you wish. I missed our time competing on the Star Luo Continent. We were young then."

Dai Yueyan immediately chuckled. "You're still young now! Except for the fact that you're now the Tang Sect's Sect Master." There was sarcasm in his words. 

Tang Wulin smiled calmly. "I'm very grateful for the kindness and generosity of our Tang Sect's seniors for giving me the opportunity. I only hope that I'd be able to repay them. Your Highness, I wonder what Star Luo Empire's opinion is on our collaboration this time?"

Dai Yueyan spoke, "I think we'll have a meeting tomorrow where you'll meet my father. My main purpose here is to socialize."

Tang Wulin raised his brows. "It seems like the Star Luo Empire is not that concerned about the war then?"

Dai Yueyan smiled calmly. "So, how concerned should we be in your opinion?"

Tang Wulin said, "I understand now. If that's the case, is it necessary for me to still meet His Majesty?"

Dai Yueyan was stunned for a moment. He did not expect Tang Wulin to respond in such a candid manner. He was hoping to discourage Tang Wulin a little so that he would not be dominating tomorrow's negotiation. He had not expected Tang Wulin to reject the negotiation instead. 

"You seem to be a changed person." Dai Yueyan was back to his normal self after his momentary change of countenance. 

Tang Wulin said, "I'm still the same. We're concerned whether the Star Luo Empire is capable of defending itself against the Federation when the time comes. Since the crown prince has expressed that the empire is capable, then we need not concern ourselves over it. As the Tang Sect has collaborated with the Star Luo Empire for many years, naturally, we regard ourselves responsible toward its well-being. So long as the Star Luo Empire is not greatly affected by the war, there's no need for us to worry. In that case, there's no need to waste His Majesty's precious time then."

Dai Yueyan spoke, "I said you've changed and you still won't admit it. You were never that brazen in the past."

Tang Wulin shook his head. "You've misunderstood. I'm more concerned about your people's outlook. How about this, Your Highness? Let me show you something. We can have a discussion later."

As he was speaking,Tang Wulin stood up. It was apparent that he was displaying his impatience. 

Dai Yueyan stood up as well. He said, "So, are you saying that we're wasting your time?"

"Yes," said Tang Wulin without the slightest hesitation. 

"Perhaps, your people may think that your army force is already sufficiently prepared. If that's the case, then, we'll continue the discussion after I've shown you this thing."

Upon saying that, he walked out through the main entrance of the meeting room. 

The Smiley Face Douluo did not say a word during the entire journey. Since Tang Wulin managed the situation at the Dou Spirit Empire so well, he believed that Tang Wulin would have devised a strategy for his negotiation with the Star Luo Empire too.

Dai Yueyan and Tang Wulin were both acquaintances. It was Dai Tianling's objective to send Dai Yueyan to the Tang Sect. Both Dai Yueyan and the Smiley Face Douluo did not expect Tang Wulin to handle the negotiation with such impertinence. One should realize that the Tang Sect was only a sect, while Dai Yueyan represented the whole empire. 

Whether it was appropriate or not, one would have to see if the item Tang Wulin was about to show Dai Yueyan in a while was sufficient to convince him. 

Along the way to the gymnasium, Dai Yueyan kept mum without uttering another word to Tang Wulin. He was in a rather foul mood at present. 

'Even if you're one of the Shrek Seven Monsters and Tang Sect's Sect Master, I'm still the crown prince of the Star Luo Empire. Moreover, I'm on good terms with the Tang Sect.' Playing hardball was sometimes required during a negotiation. Yet, Tang Wulin turned hostile right away and even threatened to stop the negotiation.

Even though the Star Luo Empire compromised in the end, Dai Yueyan would bear a grudge in his heart. 

There was someone in the gymnasium when they arrived. To be exact, it was a black mecha standing still.

Dai Yueyan looked at the mecha that was approximately eight meters in height with a gigantic firearm on its back. He asked Tang Wulin, "Is this what you wished to show me?"Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

Tang Wulin nodded, then he waved his hand at the black mecha. 

The mecha removed the firearm on its back. At the moment it removed the firearm, the powerhouses from the royal Worship Hall immediately positioned themselves in front of Dai Yueyan. 

Dai Yueyan waved his hand. "It's okay. We're at the Tang Sect."

Tang Wulin glanced admiringly at Dai Yueyan. "Ready."

A group of people surged into the gymnasium from the other side. They pushed in some hardware rapidly. 

The first piece of hardware was a massive metal ball which was placed on the other side of the gymnasium. Next, came a few thick metal plates. A total of ten metal plates were stacked at a spot about thirty meters within the periphery of the black mecha. 

Dai Yueyan realized it was going to be a weapons trial. He turned his head and looked toward Tang Wulin. Tang Wulin was expressionless at present. In fact, he appeared solemn. 

Soon, those people completed the setup. The leader of the group, Jiang Wuyue made a gesture at Tang Wulin. 

Tang Wulin nodded toward him before he spoke, "Activate the competition stage's protective shield."

A faint yellow radiance arose, and the protective shield appeared soon after. A gentle radiance enshrouded the competition stage. Earlier, a metal ball about three meters in diameter was placed outside the protective shield. 

Tang Wulin spoke to Dai Yueyan on his side, "Your Highness, please send your men to examine the alloy plates and the ball in the distance. Each layer of these alloy plates is the equivalent of a yellow mecha's defense. Their combination is comparable to an ordinary black mecha."

Dai Yueyan waved his hand once and someone immediately went over to inspect the ball and the plates. He spoke in a low voice, "What do you wish to show me actually? A weapons trial? It's not surprising if a powerful soul cannon can blast through a black mecha's defense."

Tang Wulin said, "Please be patient, Your Highness. You'll know a short while later."

Soon, the royal staff returned and nodded toward Dai Yueyan, to signal that it was exactly as Tang Wulin had said. 

Tang Wulin raised his hand toward the black mecha. "Ready."

The black mecha walked in huge strides. The mecha gave out a forceful, sonorous sound as its heavy feet stomped the ground. 

It raised its gigantic firearm in its hand and pushed it against the front-most piece of metal plate, while it seemingly carried out some adjustments at the same time. 

"Buzz!" A soft hum was heard coming from the gigantic firearm. Dark blue light shadows circulated as the black mecha made a hand gesture at Tang Wulin. 

Tang Wulin waved his right hand. The black mecha immediately fired. The gigantic firearm shook slightly as a stream of purple electric current flashed once in the sky before vanishing immediately. 

The entire process happened so swiftly that the majority of the people barely caught a glimpse of the action. Yet, the shot had already ended. 

There was no loud boom as in the case of soul cannons. Only a hum was heard by the group of people. Later, they discovered that there was no change where the gigantic gun barrel pushed against the metal plate. 

Dai Yueyan was stunned for a moment. The palace's soul masters and mecha masters standing by his side were at first astonished. In a short while, they looked perplexed. 

'Calling over His Highness, the crown prince just to witness this? It's not even showing any effect!'

"Is this a mistake?" Dai Yueyan turned his head to the side and looked at Tang Wulin. He had no intention of mocking Tang Wulin because he was well aware that Tang Wulin's reputation was at stake. Yet, it truly seemed like he made a huge mistake!
