Before Ai Fei had a chance to consider anything else, Tang Wulin's hand had already clashed with the Northern Light Saber.

The power released in the instant the clash occurred struck everyone with an indescribable sensation. The first thing that all of the spectators saw was the blackness on the Northern Light Saber being shattered. As Tang Wulin's right hand grabbed onto the blade of the saber, it was as if the air had transformed into a massive cobweb as traces of blackness began to crumble away, and only then did the hand and blade come into contact with one another.

Purple light flashed within Tang Wulin's eyes, and bluish-purple lightning suddenly exploded in the palm of his right hand amid an explosive thunderclap.

Mu Tian also reacted very quickly to the situation, instantly withdrawing his martial soul, causing it to disappear from within Tang Wulin's grasp to evade the bombardment of lightning. At the same time, he instantly swiveled around, and as he did so, countless saber projections erupted out of his body, slashing directly toward Tang Wulin in a frenzy.

Right at this moment, the thunderclap rang out, eradicating all of the oncoming saber projections. Instead of descending onto the ground, Tang Wulin rushed forward diagonally, then performed a peculiar maneuver in mid-air.

In the blink of an eye, three Tang Wulins suddenly appeared, forming a triangular circuit in the air. Each Tang Wulin was situated at one corner of the triangle with their right hands thrust forward, releasing countless bolts of lightning to form a massive net. There was no way to predict the direction that the winding bolts of lightning were crashing toward, but Mu Tian was situated right at the very center of the triangle.

"Gu Yuena Lightning Triangular Circuit!

" Ai Fei exclaimed. He was naturally aware of the mecha maneuver Tang Wulin had invented during the examination phase of the event. The maneuver had been officially recognized by the mecha pilot association, which had conducted in-depth analysis on just how difficult it would be for a mecha pilot to execute the maneuver. The most difficult part was that the mecha pilot had to withstand an enormous amount of instantaneous force, and under such tremendous strain, it was certainly no easy task to maintain such an exceptional level of accuracy.

However, Tang Wulin had performed the maneuver with his own body, even without having to rely on a mecha. It was difficult to say whether this was more difficult than performing the same maneuver with a mecha, but it was truly astonishing that he was able to attack while moving at such an incredible speed.

Mu Tian abruptly landed on the ground while a saber projection erupted into the heavens, and it was as if he had completely disappeared into the saber projection.

The scent of blood and steel on a battlefield wafted through the air, and the saber projection abruptly expanded just as the lightning struck, and the two intertwined as one bolt of lightning after another was slashed apart.

The three Tang Wulins only coexisted for an instant before combining as one, following which he charged directly toward the saber projection.

Ai Fei was feeling very frustrated and confused. Why did it always seem like Yu Longyue was battling like a man with a death wish, but he always came out on top?

It was clear that Yu Longyue had gained the upper hand in the previous clash.

"Boom!

"

The saber managed to keep Tang Wulin's body at bay, but Tang Wulin instantly exploded like a bomb upon impact.

"Rumble!

" Bluish-purple lightning exploded in the air, Mu Tian was hurled far away by the force of the explosion.

At this moment, his entire body was slightly charred, and there was lightning flashing all over him, clearly indicating that he hadn't remained unaffected by the lightning.

Instead of pressing his advantage, Tang Wulin descended onto the ground and appraised Mu Tian calmly from afar.

Mu Tian's soul power was renowned for its sharpness and explosiveness, and he was trying to use it to force out the lightning that had entered his body, but the lightning was simply too powerful, and both his muscles and soul core were spasming uncontrollably.

It was clear that if Tang Wulin had followed up his attacks, he would've most likely already lost.

Prior to this battle, he was already regarding Tang Wulin as an extremely powerful opponent, but only when the match truly began did he realize that he had still underestimated Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin was superior to him in all aspects, including power, speed, and martial soul, and his seemingly reckless way of battle was a reflection of his absolute confidence.

Tang Wulin was also very pleased with himself. After developing the Dragon Emperor Restriction Techniques, he had gained a deeper understanding of all of his abilities, particularly the usage of his soul spirits.

He had once asked the Amorous Douluo why almost no high-grade Soul Masters released their soul spirits in direct battle, and the answer was that regardless of how powerful a soul spirit was, the enhancements they provided to a Soul Master was more beneficial than directly using them in battle.

During that last clash, Tang Wulin had borrowed some of the Tyrant Dragon's power, and the lightning of the Infernal Lightning Vine had constantly been revolving around his body, perfectly disguising his martial soul.

His opponent was indeed very powerful, but they simply weren't on the same level. Even a Hyper Douluo would find it very difficult to pose a threat to the current Tang Wulin, let alone a Soul Douluo.

One had to realize that Tang Wulin had stunned the entire Star Luo Empire in the Trial of Five Gods; Mu Tian simply couldn't compare with someone of his staggering power.

If it weren't for his respect for soldiers, Tang Wulin wouldn’t have employed this style of battle.

Mu Tian was panting heavily as he cast a meaningful gaze toward Tang Wulin.

"Here I come!

"

Black light flashed from his hand as he spoke, and a streak of light was quickly projected before rapidly expanding, following which an inky-black mecha that was around seven meters tall soon appeared behind him. His body was instantly drawn into the mecha, and the entrance to the mecha pilot room was quickly shut.

Only then did Tang Wulin recall that the usage of mechas wasn't prohibited in the joust for a spouse event.

Following Mu Tian's entry, the black mecha immediately sprang to life, crouching down before rushing directly toward Tang Wulin. It was wielding a giant saber as a weapon, and the saber instantly turned a scorching white color reminiscent of the Northern Light Saber. However, due to the combination of Soul Master and mecha, its power was significantly elevated.

Tang Wulin stomped his left foot onto the ground, propelling himself up into the air. Scales instantly covered his entire body as he unleashed his Golden Dragon Body; of course, this was the lightning version.

"He's still as aggressive as ever!

" Ai Fei was struck by the urge to cover his own eyes at the sight of the ascending Tang Wulin. He was clearly relying solely on his overwhelming power to bully his opponent! It was quite apparent now that there was a massive gulf between Mu Tian and Yu Longyue, but just a few days ago, the latter had turned up to his match looking as if he were in extremely bad condition; who was it that had been able to inflict such severe injuries upon him? Had a fully fit Yu Longyue always been this powerful?

The answer to that was, of course, yes.

As Tang Wulin rose to the apex of his ascent, he arched back to resemble a bow, then swung his arms through the air toward the oncoming giant saber.

"Boom!

"

The air dimmed slightly, following which a piercing streak of bluish-purple light flashed through the air, as if lightning had struck the competition platform.

Everyone was then stunned by the sight of a massive black mecha crashing into the protective barrier with electricity flashing all over its huge frame.

The spectator stands fell completely silent.

At this moment, Tang Wulin's entire arm had turned an almost transparent bluish-purple color, and he was hovering in mid-air like an invincible Lightning God.

The match was over!

Ai Fei took a moment to collect himself, then announced,

"The match is over, and Yu Longyue has secured victory once again. With all due respect to Mu Tian, there's no other way to describe this match than as a crushing victory for Yu Longyue.

"

Indeed, from the beginning till the very end, Mu Tian didn't have any chances, and he was completely overwhelmed regardless of whether it was in terms of speed, power, or martial soul. Even after he released his mecha, it had made no difference at all.

Tang Wulin slowly descended onto the ground with his right index finger pointed directly upward, as if he were challenging the very heavens.

Gu Yuena's heart stirred slightly as she looked on from the rostrum, and Qiangu Zhangting's calm facade had also been torn away.
