Soul Land 3: Legend Of The Dragon King

There were over 1,600 participants who reached the elimination stage. They were going to undergo four rounds of elimination matches, following which around 100 participants would progress to the round-robin stage.

Tang Wulin strolled along the streets of Bright City with his hands in his pockets, and he had to admit that it was truly a lively and bustling city.

There were tall skyscrapers lining the streets, and many massive flyers advertising the joust for a spouse event. The name of Silver Dragon Princess Gu Yuena was becoming known to more and more people, but even as recently as five years ago, both he and Gu Yuena were completely unknown to the general public. How the times had changed.

Tang Wulin was currently widely renowned due to his exploits in the Trial of Five Gods, and Gu Yuena was receiving widespread attention due to this joust for a spouse event.

Neither of them wanted to be famous, but they had no choice in these current circumstances.

Never did Tang Wulin think that all of this would happen to him back when he first entered Shrek Academy over 10 years ago.

All of a sudden, a large screen attracted Tang Wulin's attention. Many people were gathered under the screen, watching the examinations that had just concluded unfold. There were even some snippets of footage from the Myriad Beast Plane, which confirmed Tang Wulin's assumption that the Spirit Pagoda could monitor everything within the plane.

However, judging from the images, this type of surveillance wasn't very clear.

Come to think of it, they were most likely unable to see into the restricted area. Otherwise, the workers would've reacted differently following his ejection from the plane.

Right at this moment, Tang Wulin's soul communicator began to ring. 

He accepted the call, and was greeted by an extremely polite voice. "Greetings, Your Majesty, I am the secretary-general of the mecha pilot association; may I ask how much longer it'll take for you to reach our trial venue?"

"Around 10 more minutes," Tang Wulin replied after glancing at the time displayed on his soul communicator.

The elimination matches had already begun, but they were split up into several days due to the massive number of participants, and Tang Wulin's match was scheduled for the next day. On this day, the mecha pilot association had invited him to demonstrate his Gu Yuena Lightning Triangular Circuit so he could officially assign the name to the skill.

"Alright, we'll be waiting for you at the trial venue."

After ending the call, Tang Wulin immediately picked up the pace. He wasn't traveling by car as he wanted to observe Bright City.

He had anticipated the Spirit Pagoda's retaliation, and it didn't affect their overall plan. In reality, the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy's plans were progressing simultaneously.

As expected of one of the largest associations in the federation, the mecha pilot association was far more grandiose than the blacksmith association, and the building was even larger than that of the Soul Master association. After all, Soul Masters were limited, yet there were a vast number of mecha pilots.

The trial venue was situated to the west of the city center in a building that resembled a sports stadium.

The building was very large, and considering the land prices in Bright City, such a massive trial venue was a testament to just how wealthy the mecha pilot association was.

Tang Wulin had only just arrived at the entrance when he was immediately greeted by a worker, who then led him into the venue.

The entire venue was constructed from metal, and Tang Wulin immediately sensed a forcefield as soon as he entered it.

The worker introduced, "The trial venue is situated in a very busy part of the city, so in order to ensure safety, this trial venue of ours has the highest grade of protective equipment in all of the federation; the federation has even tested many of its high-grade weapons here. The trial venue is split up into three areas, one for mecha weapons, one for general mecha testing, and one for high-tech weapons; I'll be taking you to the general mecha testing area."

This was a female worker who appeared to be in her twenties, and her white uniform accentuated her alluring figure. She wore a bright smile, and her short brown hair was very clean and professional-looking, but also rather alluring. Her eyes were very large and blue, indicating that she was a Bright City local. 

The federation had been formed when the Douluo Continent had crashed into the Sun Moon Continent due to continental drift. Aside from the portion developed by the Tang Sect, the majority of the pieces of most advanced soul technology originated from the Sun Moon Continent. It was exactly due to the advanced soul technology of the Sun Moon Continent that the situation on the entire Douluo Continent had taken a turn, and this was already over 10,000 years ago.

The eye and hair color of the female worker both suggested that she had descended from a local of the Sun Moon Continent.

While she was making her introduction, she was also appraising Tang Wulin in a surreptitious manner.

Tang Wulin was dressed in a very casual manner. He was wearing a pair of black pants and a tight-fitting black shirt with the top two buttons undone, revealing the silver dragon scale pendant around his neck. Aside from that, the rainbow bracelet was the only other thing that he was wearing.

Even though this wasn't his true appearance, he had molded his Yu Longyue character to be very handsome as well.

However, what was far more alluring to the female worker than his looks was the fact that he was a Titled Douluo, and an exceptional mecha pilot.

Judging from his appearance, he seemed to only be around 27 to 28 years of age, so he had a truly immeasurable future ahead of him. She was certainly not opposed to entering a relationship with such an outstanding man. Even if it didn't lead to anything, it would still be a fantastic memory, and if it did amount to something, then she would most likely be able to benefit from him.

She had been very high-achieving and hard-working all her life, and she knew how important it was to take opportunities when they arose.

Of course, she was very measured in her approach and was displaying a very good image to Tang Wulin.

As Tang Wulin listened to her explanation, he was also inspecting his surroundings.

In doing so, he discovered that the entire area was constructed from alloys that were comprised of many types of metals, and this was another display of the mecha pilot association's enormous wealth.

As they made their way into an open area, around a dozen mecha pilot association members immediately approached them. "Welcome!"

They were led by a thin and tall man who appeared to be in his forties. There were some silver patterns on the uniform that he was wearing, indicating that he was different from the normal workers here.

This was an oval-shaped area that was over 200 meters tall and spanned over a kilometer at its widest point. What was very remarkable was the fact that this massive space was completely isolated, and Tang Wulin could clearly sense very powerful energy fluctuations here.

"Greetings, Your Majesty; I am the secretary-general of the mecha pilot association, Li Zheping, and I was the one speaking to you earlier. It's an honor for me to be able to witness your demonstration."

Tang Wulin shook his hand with an indifferent nod. "Let's begin then."

Seeing as Tang Wulin had no intention of exchanging any further pleasantries, Li Zheping smiled, and said, "Alright, I'll get everything set up right away. Would you like to use your own mecha or one that's provided by us?"

Tang Wulin replied in a nonchalant manner, "I'll use one provided by you to make things easier."
