Douluo: Legend of the Dragon King - The Voice of the Purple Emperor

Chapter 190 Mechs

"Ordinary law enforcement officers are generally around the fourth ring level in strength and are equipped with mechs. Patrols are usually conducted in groups of three."

Xie Xie was horrified. "You're even trying to scheme against your own people?"

Gu Yue put her hands behind her back, tossed her head slightly to let her hair flutter, and said, "I've never fought a mecha before."

Gu You's lips twitched; he regretted choosing to go with them.

"Who dares to cause trouble at the Heavenly Battle Spirit Pagoda?" Just as he was speaking, an electronic voice rang out, and then, not far away, three huge black shadows roared over.

One purple, two yellow, three mechs.

Gu Yue's judgment was absolutely correct; it was indeed an enforcement team composed of three mechs. However, she didn't mention any purple mechs.

The purple mech flying at the front appeared to be about eight meters tall, with very smooth lines and a petite figure. There were no soul-guided cannons or similar devices in sight, and a pair of large swords were strapped to its back.

Generally speaking, mechs are divided into five categories, just like the soul rings of a soul master, which are also distinguished by color to indicate their strength.

The white soul-guided mech is a basic mech, generally used for teaching. It can perform basic maneuvers and has basic energy storage. It is suitable for short-duration combat, but cannot be integrated with soul power control or coordinated with soul spirits. It is purely manually controlled.

Yellow soul-guided mechs are standard military mechs at this level. They offer greater controllability, are equipped with standard energy sources, and can be powered by both physical energy and soul power. They can easily coordinate with soul spirits. They are purely manually controlled.

Purple Soul-Guided Mechs are advanced mechs, also known as exclusive mechs. Designed, custom-made, or personal mechs are tailored to the individual's martial soul characteristics, offering superior control and a closer connection to their martial soul. They are typically exclusive mechs that work in perfect harmony with their soul spirit. They are purely manually controlled.

The Black Soul-Guided Mech is a top-tier mech made with special materials, a unique design, and special manufacturing. Its spirit is integrated to a certain extent, making it feel like an extension of the body. Each top-tier mech can only have one master; a mech without a master cannot be used by anyone. To control a top-tier mech, one needs at least a Soul Emperor cultivation level and a Spirit Sea Realm or higher mental strength. To a certain extent, mental strength can assist in controlling the mech, allowing for the execution of more difficult maneuvers.

The Red Soul-Guided Mech, a god-level mech, must be forged by hand to have any chance of completion. It requires the finest materials and the most exquisite forging techniques, demanding the complete integration of one's own essence and martial spirit into it, forming an existence akin to a life-or-death bond. It is a true part of one's life, a genuine god-level mech, where the soul and the mech may even merge into one in a special way.

Generally, the military officially uses yellow soul-guided mechs. Once it reaches purple, the mech must belong to an individual because the cost is too high. Unless it is an extremely wealthy organization like the Spirit Pagoda, no one will build such a mech for their staff to use.

The purple mecha was designed entirely based on the Soul Master's own abilities, greatly enhancing their combat power and survivability.

If the Soul Master piloting the purple mecha is at the fourth ring level, then with the mecha he has at least the combat power of a fifth-ring Soul King, and his defense is even stronger than that of a fifth-ring Soul King.

The three mechs landed, and the mech pilots were somewhat taken aback when they saw the young men and women in front of them.

They had sensed fluctuations in soul power here through their surveillance. According to the rules of the Spirit Pagoda, soul power and any soul-guided weapons are not allowed to be used within a kilometer radius of the Spirit Pagoda, which is why they were here. However, they did not expect to find several children in front of them.

"What's wrong with you kids? Who recklessly triggered the alarm using their soul power?" A reprimanding voice came from the lead purple mech.

"It's him!" Ye Xinglan suddenly raised her hand and pointed at Gu You.

Aminos...

Gu You was utterly speechless.

"Then you come with us. The rest of you go and inform your commander to come and pick you up." The purple mecha extended its mechanical hand and pointed at Gu You.

Gu You gave a wry smile, lowered his eyes, and said meekly, "I'm sorry, Uncle Enforcer, I was wrong. Could you please not take me away?"

The enforcer snorted coldly, "The Spirit Pagoda's dignity cannot be violated. Rules are inviolable. Come with me. Don't worry, as long as you tell the truth, your master will come to take you away, and you won't face too much blame."

Gu You looked up, his face completely innocent. "How much is too much?"

The law enforcement officer was getting impatient. "At most, it's a few hundred dollars."

"A fine?" Gu You's voice suddenly rose a few decibels. "I have no money, but you can take my life. Money is my life. Come and arrest me if you dare."

He still owes hundreds of billions, let alone a hundred, not even a penny.

A pair of dragon wings rose from behind Gu You and flew towards Ye Xinglan.

This time it was Ye Xinglan's turn to take the blame, this guy...

"Huh?" The enforcer inside the purple mecha was stunned. Shouldn't such a small child be filled with awe and obedience when seeing a mecha? What's going on?

But it was his duty, and he couldn't let Gu You get away like that! A flash of light appeared on the back of the mecha, and a large hand reached out to grab Gu You.

He made a mistake in his pursuit of ancient travels: he separated from his two companions.

Ye Xinglan moved instantly, her lithe body leaping up with lightning speed, rushing straight towards a yellow mech. Gu Yue made a circle and a gesture in the air, sending a huge fireball flying towards another yellow mech. Xie Xie, taking advantage of the moment, quietly vanished into thin air.

Xu Xiaoyan raised her ice staff, and an ice spear quickly materialized.

They moved quickly and suddenly, while the law enforcement officers inside the yellow mechs were still watching Gu You's purple mech.

The fastest was Ye Xinglan, whose Star God Sword shone brilliantly as she became one with the sword. Her first Soul Skill aimed directly at the cockpit.

By the time the yellow mech reacted, she was already in front of it.

All the mech could do was raise its right hand and use its armor to block her attack.

"Ding!" A blinding light flashed, as if a star had exploded, and sparks erupted from the mecha's right arm. A powerful surge of soul power had forcefully damaged the mecha's right arm. Immediately afterward, Ye Xinglan's body used the momentum to soar into the sky, transforming into a golden star as he ascended, his third soul ring shining brightly.

This is the strongest soul skill she can currently unleash. The terrifying sword intent carries an incomparably sharp aura. When her soul power erupts, a series of alarms immediately sounded from the Spirit Pagoda not far away.

On the other side, Gu Yue's fireball had also arrived. The yellow mech reacted slightly faster, raising its mechanical right arm in front of it, and a light shield lit up to block the fireball.

The fireball exploded, and a halo of light scattered in all directions...
