Douluo: Not enough blood? Use your brain

“Continue fighting.”

From within the mech, Xu Yuan only uttered these words.

Looking up at Xu Yuan's mech, Jiang Wuyue didn't hesitate either. His previously shrunken form expanded again, surpassing the previous seven meters, quickly becoming eight meters, and eventually settling at nine meters.

Even so, Jiang Wuyue in his Tyrannosaurus Rex form was still shorter than Xu Yuan's mech.

Xu Yuan controlled the mech to throw a punch.

The fist blasted out, causing the space to tremble.

Jiang Wuyue didn't dare to be careless, and the first four soul rings flashed simultaneously as he swung his dragon claws.

Boom!

Jiang Wuyue retreated again and again.

Xu Yuan controlled the mech without any sense of lag, quickly advancing and throwing another punch.

Jiang Wuyue crossed a pair of dragon claws in front of his body.

Bang!

Xu Yuan continued to press forward, and the Tianyuan Five Elements Spear materialized in his hands. The ten-meter-tall giant wielded the fifteen-meter-long spear and slashed down fiercely.

Jiang Wuyue's eyes twitched, not daring to be hit by this spear, and he rolled to the side.

Bang!

The floor of the combat room shook.

Xu Yuan's attack didn't stop at all. The spear landed, and then swept out horizontally.

Bang!

Jiang Wuyue had nowhere to hide and was sent flying by the spear.

“Stop! I'm not fighting anymore!”

Jiang Wuyue finally couldn't help but speak.

Xu Yuan retracted his spear, and seeing that Jiang Wuyue did indeed look like he was admitting defeat, the spear in his hand dissipated. Then, with a flash of light, he reintegrated the mech back into his body.

Jiang Wuyue exited the state of Martial Soul Body Possession, and the battle armor also reintegrated back into his body.

The way he bared his teeth showed that his whole body was in pain.

He hadn't felt it during the battle, but now that he was out of the battle state, his whole body really ached.

“Xu Yuan, was that a mech just now?”

Jiang Qiyue stepped forward and asked in great surprise.

Clearly, such a luxurious mech shocked her heart.

“That's right, that's my mech, forged with full spirit forging. It's currently a Purple-tier mech, but its amplification won't be weaker than any two-word battle armor.”

The amplification Xu Yuan was talking about wasn't the deterrent force that could be achieved by relying on soul-guided shells.

He was referring to the mech's amplification of true combat power.

His mech didn't use a conventional control system. Instead of sitting in the cockpit and manipulating buttons to fight, it was completely controlled by him personally. It conformed to his body and used soul power as a medium to achieve a perfect fusion of the mech and the soul master.

In fact, Xu Yuan was being a bit conservative.

The amplification of his mech was more than just two-word battle armor.

The amplification of some inferior three-word battle armor was about the same as his mech.

Full spirit forging was just the average level and the material was the same as two-word battle armor.

But don't forget how huge the number of spirit-forged metals used in the mech was.

The spirituality of so many spirit-forged metals combined was normally not as good as the soul-forged metal spirituality of three-word battle armor, but Xu Yuan's mech used Godly Alloy!

“That's too extravagant of you.”

Although Jiang Qiyue said it was extravagant, the envy and longing in her eyes couldn't fool anyone.

Such a mech was obviously very appealing.

The Blood God Legion was more obsessed with mechs than with battle armor.

Battle armor was difficult to exert its full effect in the abyss passage, but mechs could achieve the best results.

Of course, with the improvement of new mech technology, new battle armor technology was also being improved.

From soul-guided weapons to mechs using the same principles, it would naturally extend to battle armor, which would have the ability to convert the abyss energy in the abyss passage to operate.

However, battle armor was, after all, sophisticated. The core magic array was not only more complex, but the space itself was also very small. For the time being, it was impossible to maintain its amplification effect on the Douluo Continent, but it had the ability to fight in the abyss passage.

Based on this level, the soldiers of the Blood God Legion still used mechs more in the passage.

Not only was it more convenient for mechs to add functional modules, but also because mechs were more tool-like. Unlike battle armor, which was unique and bound to soul masters, mechs could be replaced and freely DIYed.

“Your strength is enough, but I suggest you don't rush to the abyss passage.” Jiang Wuyue suggested, “I can see that your mech can provide you with a great improvement, so you should upgrade the mech and design the energy conversion technology into it, so that you can use it more smoothly in the environment of the abyss passage.”

“That's right, I also suggest you complete the mech upgrade first.” Long Yuxue also stepped forward and agreed with Jiang Wuyue's proposal: “We don't know what kind of crisis we will face when we go to the abyss passage, so we must not give up if we can arm ourselves to the strongest state.”

Xu Yuan nodded.

“I understand what you mean.”

But he didn't agree with the two's suggestions.

“I will upgrade the mech. After the upgrade, I will invite you to go to the deeper part of the abyss passage with me.” Xu Yuan said: “My purpose this time is very simple, just to feel the environment of the abyss and conduct some basic attempts. There is no need to go too deep, even just enter the range of the abyss passage, be able to contact the abyss energy, and at most just be in a place where you can just encounter abyss creatures, and kill abyss creatures for me to conduct basic research.”

Xu Yuan's needs were not great.

He was not an adventurous person.

This time it was purely for some basic attempts and research.

Only after these basic attempts and research were carried out could many of his cultivation practices continue normally.

“Okay, even if you don't have a mech, with the strength of the two of us, we can solve even Ba'an if we join forces in the abyss passage.” Jiang Wuyue patted his chest and was not angry because of Xu Yuan's answer.

Having made great progress just now, he was also a little inflated at this moment.

Long Yuxue felt a little strange when she heard Jiang Wuyue's words.

This counts as an extra update; what was owed has long been paid off.

Also, it's still ten thousand words a day, just combined into two larger chapters.

The content is the same.

Chapter 440: Entering the Abyss Passage

Jiang Wuyue, ah, Jiang Wuyue, haven't you noticed?

Long Yuxue was truly helpless at this moment.

The previous battle might have been because Jiang Wuyue was too engrossed, completely unaware that Xu Yuan hadn't even used his soul skills.

For a Soul Master, the importance of soul skills is self-evident.

And Xu Yuan, without using his soul skills, had already suppressed him severely.

If he had used his soul skills as well, he wouldn't be weaker than you, even without revealing that mech.

That's the key.

Long Yuxue had a lot to say about this; Xu Yuan only used one thing during the assessment—

Thinking of this, Long Yuxue's mind also froze.

She felt that she had also overlooked many details.

From the assessment to the previous battle, many of the abilities Xu Yuan displayed seemed to be stackable, but he never showed them stacked together.

For example, during the assessment, Xu Yuan purely used his blood energy and the many soul skills of that spear to forcefully contend with Ba An, which also showed that Xu Yuan had the power to fight against Jiang Wuyue, who had just fused with his Battle Armor.

And on this basis, Xu Yuan also had a method of controlling the world that was even more brilliant than a domain. He only used this method at the beginning of the previous battle, and then he deliberately canceled it as he started holding back.

Besides this, Xu Yuan's Battle Armor hasn't been displayed yet.

Being able to build a mech made entirely of Spirit Forged Metal, would Xu Yuan lack Spirit Forged Metal to make a Two-Word Battle Armor?

Battle Armor can comprehensively enhance these abilities.

Moreover, Long Yuxue always felt that Xu Yuan's mech was different from ordinary mechs. If it could also be stacked, it would be too amazing.

In fact, Long Yuxue could tell that the mech abilities Xu Yuan displayed in the previous battle were completely an expanded version of the Battle Armor's amplification effect. It didn't rely on soul-guided shells as the main form of attack like traditional mechs, nor did it focus on unique soul-guided weapons. It purely used the mech's body to amplify the Soul Master's own abilities.

Such a mech might really be able to stack with a Battle Armor?

Calculating it this way, how terrifying would his full strength be?

"Enough, you can't even beat Xu Yuan. Don't drag Xu Yuan down in the Abyss Passage."

Jiang Qiyue didn't give her brother any face at this moment.

Brother?

Own brother?

Where can you find someone as handsome and strong as Xu Yuan, who is also good at wielding a spear?

The corners of Jiang Wuyue's mouth twitched.

He felt like he had received ten thousand points of critical damage.

But he was still unwilling to admit that he was inferior to Xu Yuan, this newcomer.

There was no way around it; Xu Yuan wasn't just a newcomer to the Blood God Legion, but most importantly, he was only seventeen years old.

Being inferior to a seventeen-year-old child was something Jiang Wuyue couldn't accept.

Of course, he couldn't accept it on the surface at least.

"The Abyss Passage is completely different from the outside world. Within the Abyss Passage, martial soul abilities are greatly weakened, and even completely unusable after going deeper. You can only rely on tactics and the use of soul-guided weapons. Won't you still have to rely on me then?"

"Are you afraid you've forgotten about blood energy?" Long Yuxue said, "Blood energy is completely condensed from the body's energy, and it won't be affected by entering the Abyss Passage."

Jiang Wuyue also just realized this and immediately said, "Then, in that case, I can exert more abilities when I enter the Abyss Passage?"

Then his face collapsed.

In that case, Xu Yuan was the same.

Moreover, Xu Yuan's martial soul seemed to be able to be driven purely by blood energy.

Thinking back, this guy didn't seem to use any soul skills in the previous battle, and he could still display such a level of spear skills with pure blood energy.

"Good heavens, Xu Yuan's limitations in the Abyss Passage might even allow him to unleash my peak level in the outside world?" Jiang Wuyue's heart trembled.

"You've finally realized this?" Long Yuxue added another stab.

Jiang Wuyue could only helplessly accept the reality.

Recalling the details of the previous battle, he had already realized many things.

"By the way, you mentioned the Body Sect just now."

Jiang Wuyue remembered Xu Yuan's invitation to him to join the Body Sect.

Condensing blood energy and not condensing blood energy are purely two different concepts.

Even if their physical qualities are at the same level, their use and explosion of power are completely different.

This was Jiang Wuyue's personal experience.

Precisely because of this, he was now even more curious about the many blood energy secret methods of the Body Sect in the rumors. Those were all secret techniques for cultivating and using blood energy. If he could master them, it would be no less than the amplification brought by a martial soul possessing soul skills.

Jiang Wuyue was slightly apprehensive.

Even though Xu Yuan had already helped him condense blood energy in advance, he was still worried.

After all, the Tyrannosaurus Dragon Martial Soul was a conventional martial soul and not considered a Body Martial Soul.

Even if he could condense blood energy, he didn't actually conform to the tenets of the Body Sect.

"I know what you're worried about. In the past, making an exception to accept you into the sect would have been necessary, but now it's completely unnecessary. You have talent in blood energy, so that's a Quasi-Body Martial Soul," Xu Yuan said with a smile.

Hearing the first half of Xu Yuan's sentence, Jiang Wuyue relaxed.

The meaning was very clear: even in the past, with your talent, you would have been qualified to be accepted with an exception, but you might not have been able to perfectly exert the Body Sect's various secret methods, such as the Body Martial Soul's Second Awakening.
