Soul Land 3: Legend Of The Dragon King

The difficulty in triangular circuit lay in the fact that extremely precise control was required. An equilateral triangular circuit had to be created, which required taking 60 degree turns that had an extremely heavy physical impact on both the mecha and its pilot.

This could easily result in damage being incurred by the mecha and the pilot, but if the maneuver were performed too slowly, that would completely defeat the purpose.

As such, the triangular circuit was very easy to execute, but to execute it both quickly and accurately was a very difficult task, which was why triangular circuit was a foundational skill for mecha pilots when it came to directional change.

Tang Wulin had already climbed into another generic yellow mecha, and even in the mecha pilot room, he could still see Lan Fuozi looking up at him.

He closed his eyes as he recalled the important technical points involved in triangular circuit, and a possibility suddenly sprang into his mind.

I've already accumulated a lot of points, so maybe I should give it a try. 

With that in mind, a faint smile appeared on Tang Wulin's face.

"Begin!"

Tang Wulin controlled his yellow mecha to take flight following the prompt from the electronic voice.

Instead of flying up at a high speed like Qiangu Zhangting had, his mecha ascended to the test altitude at a very even speed.

There were other mechas not far away that were executing their respective designated skills.

Tang Wulin had already reopened his eyes, and sparks of electricity were flashing deep within his pupils.

There was nothing faster than light in this world.

Lan Fuozi stood down below, and pursed his lips with disdain at the sight of how slowly Tang Wulin's mecha had risen up into the air. He had proclaimed himself to be a master mecha pilot, but he didn't even seem to be as proficient as that Qiangu Zhangting!

Right at this moment, arcs of electricity began to run along the surface of Tang Wulin's yellow mecha, as if it were beginning to malfunction. The unstable electrical currents were making the entire mecha tremor slightly, and even the propellers beneath the mecha's feet and on its back were flashing with electricity.

The workers overseeing the examination had also noticed this, yet just as they were about to extend an inquiry toward Tang Wulin through their communicator, the yellow mecha suddenly sprang into action.

A resounding thunderclap rang out, and the yellow mecha shot forth like a bolt of lightning without any acceleration process.

Three thunderclaps rang out almost in complete unison, making it sound as if the first thunderclap had echoed twice.

The yellow mecha looked as if it hadn't moved even a single inch from its original spot, but there was a triangle of electricity left in mid-air that was slowly fading away.

Before the workers and Lan Fuozi had a chance to figure out what had happened, the yellow mecha suddenly exploded, and its parts came raining down from above.

Thankfully, the judges and workers were all Soul Masters themselves, and they instantly scattered to avoid being crushed by the falling parts.

"Holy sh*t!" Lan Fuozi exclaimed as a blue halo was released from his body. All of the falling mecha parts that reached within three meters of his body would immediately be diverted away by a burst of strange rotational force.

The mecha had exploded, and Tang Wulin was revealed, standing in mid-air with a slightly numb sensation coursing through his body. 

If a normal person had been in his place, they would've definitely been killed during that explosion, but with his dragon's repulse to protect him, he had remained completely unscathed.

After descending onto the ground, a pleased smile appeared on Tang Wulin's face.

He had succeeded!

The lightning triangular circuit he had envisioned really was plausible. However, it had been achieved through his own power, rather than that of the mecha. Of course, if he had been using his own mecha, which had far greater tolerance than this generic yellow mecha, it definitely wouldn't have exploded.

Lightning triangular circuit could be counted as an application of the lightning provided by his Infernal Lightning Vine. Not only did lightning possess incredible offensive power, it also represented phenomenal speed.

Tang Wulin was very pleased with this initial experiment, and it was something that he could continue to refine in the future.

The Infernal Lightning Vine was currently extremely fond of him. Not only had it broken through the 100,000-year bottleneck, it had devoured so much delicious lightning, and Tang Wulin could even provide it with elemental tribulation lightning, which was something that could not be found in nature.

This type of lightning was imbued with the power of laws of this plane, and to put it in simpler terms, not only was Tang Wulin refining metals during his heavenly refinements, he was also baptizing the Infernal Lightning Vine using the power of laws. He was the Son of Nature, so he was naturally able to protect the Infernal Lightning Vine, and the power of laws imbued within the elemental tribulation lightning was limited, so it wouldn't immediately cause the Infernal Lightning Vine to self-detonate.

As such, elemental tribulation lightning had become an incredible delicacy for the Infernal Lightning Vine, and as a result, the Infernal Lightning Vine was willing to immediately follow whatever order was issued to it by Tang Wulin.

As long as Tang Wulin took the Infernal Lightning Vine's tolerance range into account while completing heavenly refinements, he could regulate the vine's intake of lightning to prevent it from harming itself.

The Infernal Lightning Vine's powers had also provided him with the ideal guise for his supposed identity as a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and in Lan Fuozi's eyes, this was simply an application of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul.

"How'd you like that?" Tang Wulin strutted over to Lan Fuozi with a proud expression.

"Are you even going to get a score for this?" Lan Fuozi asked with a speechless look on his face.

Tang Wulin smiled, and countered, "So what if I don't get a score? Was that badass or what?"

Lan Fuozi rolled his eyes before skirting around Tang Wulin and making his way over to the mecha examination area as he yelled, "Hey, doesn't he need to pay for destroying public property? What are the rest of us supposed to use now?"

Tang Wulin's expression immediately stiffened upon hearing this. "Oi, do you have to be so annoying?"

The surrounding workers were also completely speechless.

The information contained within Tang Wulin's electronic identification badge indicated that he was a Titled Douluo from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and he had received perfect scores for all of the examinations thus far aside from his forging examination.

As for the person behind him, he was a Titled Douluo with Spirit Domain realm spiritual power!

It was undoubtedly the case that both of them were going to be heavy favorites.

One of the judges made his way over to Tang Wulin with excitement in his eyes. "Your Majesty, may I ask you a question?"

Tang Wulin replied, "Go ahead."

The judge continued, "If you had been using a more powerful mecha to execute that skill, would it have been able to survive without exploding? In other words, what caliber of mecha would be required to withstand the triangular circuit you just executed?"

Tang Wulin shrugged in response. "I'm not sure, but a black mecha should be able to withstand the maneuver."

The judge praised in a heartfelt voice, "That was absolutely spectacular! Your martial soul must've contributed to the execution of that maneuver, right? Theoretically, if we were to fit a device in a mecha that could convert soul power into lightning power, would it also be able to execute the same maneuver?"
