Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 326 Na'er and Gu Yue

After suffering heavy casualties and leaving behind dozens of wrecked mechs, the Green Skull organization's mechs finally managed to withdraw safely.

However, Kato Taka did not leave. He stayed where he was, looking fiercely at Ao Hongchen. Eight spirit rings appeared on his body, two yellow, two purple and four black, and at the same time, a three-word battle armor also appeared from his body.

As his seventh spirit ring lit up, a giant war eagle appeared on the spot the next moment. This was his martial spirit: Hurricane War Eagle.

With his god-level mech captured by Ao Hongchen, Kato Taka has no way of leaving; he must rescue his mech. Because it is his partner, or rather, his companion.

Even if he is a terrorist, he still has his own feelings. Who says bad people can't have emotions and righteousness?

"Screech".

The Hurricane Warhawk let out a roar and then charged toward Ao Hongchen.

"He's quite the guy who's obsessed with mechs."

Ao Hongchen calmly watched Kato Taka rush towards him. He was not surprised by Kato Taka's actions.

Almost every god-level mecha pilot is a fanatic obsessed with mechas. Only they would devote all their energy to mechas, even to the point of neglecting their own training.

Take Mu Ye as an example. Because he is too obsessed with mecha, his cultivation level is still stuck at level 94.

Almost every god-level mecha pilot Ao Hongchen knew displayed a terrifying obsession with mechas, and only in this way could they upgrade their mechas to the level of red mechas.

"Rest in peace."

Ao Hongchen extended his right hand, and dazzling golden light emerged from it, condensing into a longsword about three meters long. Then, with a flash of golden light, the longsword flew towards Kato Taka and stabbed forward.

"call out!"

The longsword flashed past, piercing directly between the brows of the Hurricane Warhawk. The Hurricane Warhawk's eyes froze, then became vacant, and its Martial Soul True Form dissipated. Kato Taka's body reappeared, falling towards the ground.

A Contra fighting a Limit Douluo? Kato Taka isn't a main character, nor does he have any special power-up abilities, so he was instantly killed by Ao Hongchen in one move.

"Buzz—" After Kato Taka died, the red mecha that was bound by Ao Hongchen began to tremble incessantly, and finally gradually returned to calm.

"This time, the harvest was quite substantial."

After completely sealing the red mecha, Ao Hongchen's lips curled into a rare smile. He ignored the escaped members of the Green Skull organization. That was the Star Luo Empire's mess, and he had no interest in cleaning up their mess.

As long as the biggest gain is that the red mech doesn't run away, that's fine. A high-level mech is a treasure trove; not to mention anything else, just the amount of alloy it contains makes its value immeasurable.

Furthermore, while high-level mechs are difficult for others to use because they are incompatible with one's martial soul, modifying them into a suitable mech is always much easier than building a new one.

Of course, Ao Hongchen had no interest in building a red mecha, because the cost would be enormous, and to achieve a spiritual connection with the mecha, a Soul Master would even need to offer a blood sacrifice.

He's an old man with one foot in the grave; he can't afford such a drain. But it's alright, his granddaughter might need his help someday.

He didn't even spare Kato Taka's corpse; the three-word battle armor was quite valuable, and if he didn't take it, wouldn't that be letting the Star Luo Empire benefit?

Just then, a loud shriek suddenly came from afar, and a large number of black dots flew rapidly toward them.

The reinforcements have finally arrived.

Although their presence was negligible, the Green Skull organization's terrorist attack was like a joke because of Ao Hongchen's presence; they were routed before they could even inflict any damage.

"You reacted quickly, but you arrived a little late." Ao Hongchen casually waved his hand and put away the red mecha that he had sealed away; it was his trophy.

Wu Changkong then carried Tang Wulin back down into the carriage. Because Ao Hongchen's attack speed was too fast, he basically had no chance to make a move.

"We really owe a debt of gratitude to Dean Hongchen for his help this time."

Cai Yue'er appeared in the center of the carriage at some point, said something to Ao Hongchen in a calm tone, and then said nothing more.

She had originally intended to intervene, but after seeing Ao Hongchen make his move, she stopped and instead focused on protecting the other people in the carriage.

"Dean Cai, you're too kind. It's precisely because I knew you were in the carriage that I was able to act without hesitation," Ao Hongchen said to Cai Yue'er in a formulaic manner.

Then, both of them simultaneously turned their gaze towards the distant reinforcements. After all, they were members of the Douluo Federation, yet they had been attacked by a terrorist organization during an exchange activity.

No matter how you look at it, this is the fault of the Star Luo Empire.

The reinforcements from the Star Luo Empire in the distance were clearly military forces, consisting entirely of standard-issue mechs, numbering as many as three hundred.

One half of them guarded the group below, while the other half chased after the Green Skull mech group. They clearly wanted to see if they could catch up with them.

The Soul Guidance Train was forced to a stop, and hundreds of mechs guarded its perimeter. Medical mechs had already arrived to check for any wounded.

Because Wu Changkong had blown off the roof of the carriage, the carriage where Nan Fusheng and the others were located was obviously no longer safe to ride in.

Fortunately, perhaps to prevent them from being attacked again, and also as compensation, the Star Luo Empire sent luxurious soul-guided buses to pick them up. Furthermore, hundreds of mechs were left behind as their escort.

The attack came suddenly, but thanks to Ao Hongchen's intervention, there were no casualties. However, it involved issues between two continents, making this a serious diplomatic incident.

But none of this has anything to do with Nan Fusheng and the others. I believe that both Cai Yue'er and Ao Hongchen will communicate well with the Star Luo Empire.

……

"The situation has been summarized. The organization that attacked us is called the Green Skull, a resistance group of the Star Luo Empire. They are very powerful and occupy two strategically important provinces in the Star Luo Empire."

The authorities have engaged in numerous major battles with them, but have failed due to the presence of many powerful members within the Green Skull organization. Their only recourse has been to reduce their living space.

Their attack was clearly intended to provoke conflict between the Federation and the Star Luo Empire, thereby buying themselves more time.

On the Soul Guidance Bus, Wu Changkong began explaining the details of the terrorist attack to the Shrek Academy students.

Although Ao Hongchen's intervention prevented him from taking action, it didn't stop him from explaining the situation to the students. He wanted everyone at Shrek Academy to understand that the Star Luo Continent was not peaceful and was by no means a safe place.

Wu Changkong said calmly, "So, don't assume that things are peaceful on the Star Luo Continent. After all, we are outsiders, unfamiliar with this place, and the people here may not necessarily welcome us. Everyone, be on your guard and don't let the people of the Star Luo Continent look down on you."

"Yes."

"Hmm." Wu Changkong nodded, then sat back down in his seat.

"Fusheng, how could you be so calm just now? This is a terrorist attack!" Xu Xiaoyan asked curiously from the back seat of the soul-guided bus.

Upon hearing this, Nan Fusheng patted Xu Xiaoyan's head and said, "Are you stupid? There's a Limit Douluo in the car, and Elder Cai is here too. It's just an attack by a group of terrorists. How could it threaten our safety?"

"Is that so?" Xu Xiaoyan felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

……

With the protection of the mecha squadron, the rest of the journey became smooth and uneventful. Two days later, they finally arrived at the capital of the Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City, located in the heart of the Star Luo Continent.

Star Luo City is vast, but it has city walls that are extremely rare in the Douluo Continent, making it look more like an ancient city.

The city walls are also equipped with various soul-guided weapons as a defensive system, which further demonstrates the unrest within the Star Luo Empire.

However, once inside the city, a sense of familiarity immediately arose.

The streets were bustling with people. Apart from the architectural style and people's clothing being slightly different from those on Douluo Continent, there was nothing particularly different.

After such a long sea voyage and the arduous journey, the people of the Douluo Federation finally arrived in a large city, and they all felt a sense of relief.

They were accommodated in the luxurious Xingluo Hotel. Perhaps to compensate the delegation for the fright they had suffered, even the students like Nan Fusheng were given very luxurious suites.

The Xingluo Hotel has a very luxurious architectural style, with gold and white as the main colors, giving it a magnificent feel everywhere.

After announcing to everyone that they could rest for three days to recuperate, Wu Changkong dismissed the group.

It was already evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun was gradually fading, with night about to fall. Nan Fusheng and his companions had no interest in sightseeing for the time being, so they decided to finish their meal and go to their rooms to rest.

However, when Fors invited Na'er to sleep in her room, she refused. They had slept together quite a few times on the ship. Fors didn't think much of it, assuming Na'er just wanted some peace and quiet.

As a result, Xu Xiaoyan suffered a setback, being threatened by Fors: either sleep with her or she would go and sleep with Nan Fusheng.

Xu Xiaoyan: "In order to protect my boyfriend's virginity, I have no choice but to do it myself."

At the same time, in Tang Wulin's room, who was fast asleep.

"Knock knock knock." A knocking sound rang out on the door.

"Who is it?" Tang Wulin asked indistinctly.

"It's me," came Gu Yue's voice.

Tang Wulin reluctantly got up, walked over and opened the door. Outside the door was Gu Yueyao.

Looking at his sleepy eyes, Gu Yue asked, "Are you tired?"

"Hmm, I'm so sleepy." Tang Wulin walked back to the bedside and plopped down on it.

Gu Yue stood there, looking at Tang Wulin lying on the bed, her expression becoming complicated.

Tang Wulin's consciousness began to blur again, but Gu Yue had already slowly walked to his bedside. A faint silver glint flashed in her eyes. But her expression seemed to suggest she was struggling with something.

"Wu Lin, has your martial soul evolved?" Gu Yue asked in a low voice.

"Hmm, hmm," Tang Wulin mumbled sleepily.

Gu Yue's hand gently landed on his shoulder. If Tang Wulin could see it at this moment, he would notice that round silver scales had appeared on the back of Gu Yue's hand.

"Your bloodline should have strengthened as well, right? Did the Tyrannosaurus Rex we encountered last time become your spirit?" Gu Yue continued to ask softly.

"Mmm, mmm." Tang Wulin continued to nod. He was extremely tired. He had been tormented by Mu Ye at sea for two and a half months. After arriving in the Star Luo Continent, he had traveled a long and arduous journey to this capital city. Now, all he wanted was to get a good night's sleep.

Gu Yue's eyes suddenly changed, her pupils instantly turning into vertical slits. The hand that had been resting on Tang Wulin's shoulder slowly rose, the scales on the back of her hand shimmering with silver light.

"Snapped!"

A clear sound rang out, and Gu Yue's hand was grabbed.

Gu Yue looked at the figure beside her, frowned, her expression seemingly somewhat dissatisfied, yet also showing a hint of relaxation.

Gu Yue stared at the figure for a while, the scales on her hand faded, and the figure released Gu Yue's hand at the opportune moment.

The moonlight streamed in through the window at that moment, illuminating the figure. The silver hair, reflected in the moonlight, appeared dreamlike and ethereal, and paired with the delicate features, made the person seem like a moonlit elf.

The only person with such rare hair color who would stop Gu Yue from attacking Tang Wulin is clearly Na'er.

Na'er and Gu Yue stared at each other for a long time, neither of them speaking, as if afraid of disturbing Tang Wulin.

After a while, Gu Yue was the first to retreat and slowly walked out of Tang Wulin's room.

Na'er glanced at Tang Wulin with a complicated expression, slowly pulled the blanket next to her over him, and gently covered him with it. Then she drew the curtains and quietly left his room.

Tang Wulin's breathing became even, and he fell into a deep sleep.

Na'er entered Gu Yue's room, where Gu Yue was already waiting for her. Gu Yue closed the door, and with a gentle wave of her right hand, a faint silver light enveloped the entire room.

After doing all this, Gu Yue looked at Na'er and said with a hint of sarcasm, "I thought you no longer cared whether he lived or died?"

Na'er looked at Gu Yue and said calmly, "You broke our agreement."

"The agreement?" Gu Yue looked at Na'er's calm expression and couldn't help but feel a surge of anger. "You still care about that agreement? I haven't seen you do anything about it. If this continues, do you think you can win against me?"

Na'er's expression remained unchanged as she looked at Gu Yue, who seemed somewhat vulnerable, and sneered, "Who can say for sure until the very end? But your attitude seems to have changed quite a bit since you first proposed the bet."
