Li Zheping nodded. “If that saves you time then it’s fine as well. Otherwise, we would have had to compare your mecha’s parameters after the test. We’ve already keyed in our mechas’ parameters. Your Excellency Yu Longyue, I welcome you on behalf of the Mecha Master’s Association. The deputy president was in charge of this and should have been here as well, but he has some urgent matters to attend. He’s a busy person. Our president is also tied up with regular meetings in the parliament and he couldn’t clear his schedule. They very much wanted to meet a young talented person like you.”

“The president especially reminded me to invite you to join our Mecha Master’s Association. A powerful mecha master such as yourself is exactly what the Mecha Master’s Association needs. May I know your thoughts on this?”

Tang Wulin glanced at him. “Invite me into the association? What’s in it for me?”

His direct question caught chief secretary Li Zheping off guard. He could not help but be stunned. Then, he gruntled in his heart. ‘These youngsters from the great clans know nothing about politeness.’

However, he still maintained a smile on the surface as he nodded. “Of course it’ll be of some help to you. With your cultivation base, if you’re able to successfully pass today’s test, we can immediately present you with a mecha master rank certificate. I believe that you’ve not completed the documentation on this, am I right? With the certificate given by our Mecha Master’s Association, it’ll be of great help to you in the future. Regardless of your future plans, our certificate is recognized all over the continent.”

“If you’re willing, our Mecha Master’s Association will also assign some missions at the same time. These are tasks with extremely high payments. Our Mecha Master’s Association will also organize some activities at fixed intervals to facilitate communication between mecha masters. Mecha masters of different ranks will have different communication platforms. I’m sure that this will be of some help to you as well.”

“Also, as a high-ranking mecha master, you’ll also receive the support from the association.”

Tang Wulin asked, “Then what rank as a mecha master can I get?”

“If you manage to complete the Gu Yuena Lightning Triangular Maneuver, we can evaluate you to a rank-8 mecha master right away. Logically speaking, this skill can already enable you to make it to a rank-9 mecha master. However, according to the association’s rules, there are many prerequisite conditions for a person to be evaluated as a rank-9 mecha master. For example, a rank-9 mecha master must have participated in a number of popular competitions and have scored certain ranks in them. A rank-9 mecha master must also have a certain number of collaborations within the association and so on. After you become a rank-8 mecha master, we’ll keep a close eye on these details. As long as you complete three missions for the association, we can make an exception and promote you to a rank-9 mecha master.”

Li Zheping spoke politely. However, his tone clearly implied that he hoped Tang Wulin would cooperate with the Mecha Master’s Association on a deeper level. An expert with the cultivation base of a Title Douluo’s rank was a candidate whom the Mecha Master’s Association would accept with open arms. Although the concept of mechas was so that ordinary persons could also become experts, everyone knew that a truly powerful mecha master was a powerful soul master as well. This was because only a powerful soul master could strengthen his own endurance as a mecha master. This would enable the mecha master to operate more powerful mechas and unleash more powerful combat skills. Only then would the combination of soul skills and mecha be perfect.

“Then let’s start with the evaluation.” Tang Wulin made a nonchalant face, but he was calculating in his heart. Currently, his character Yu Longyue was starting to reveal his strength. If he gave this character a richer image, it would undoubtedly make it seem more believable. Possessing a Mecha Master’s Association’s rank was not a bad thing. As for becoming a rank-9 mecha master, he was not as interested. He also had no intention of completing any missions for the Mecha Master’s Association.

The mechas were already prepared. There were three black mechas for Tang Wulin to choose from. The three mechas were humanoid since one had to use a humanoid mecha to complete the Gu Yuena Lightning Triangular Maneuver. Their only differences were their characteristics which were decided during their manufacturing process. Because they were built for evaluation purposes, these black mechas were not custom-made and were equipped with standard equipment.

Naturally, Tang Wulin did not care much about these things. He randomly picked one of the mechas and hopped in.

He closed the cockpit and instinctively flexed his arms. Tang Wulin made simple observations of the mecha’s interior. As expected of the Mecha Master’s Association’s mecha, although it was not custom-made, its equipment was of top quality. He familiarized himself with it and had a basic understanding of its endurance. Some of the more advanced equipment on this mecha impressed him.

After all, the Mecha Master’s Associations would be the first to implement any latest technological advancement in their products.

“Your Excellency Yu Longyue, are you ready?” Li Zheping’s voice came from the communicator.

“I’m ready,” Tang Wulin replied.

“The coast is clear. You may begin at any time.”

Li Zheping placed the communicator down. He stood in the isolation room and kept an eye on the black mecha in the testing field. Various types of equipment were readied for testing. As long as Tang Wulin’s test started, he would receive reports from the various data sensors.

He had seen the recording of Tang Wulin executing the Gu Yuena Lightning Triangular Maneuver in the Mingdu Coliseum and was already impressed then. If he could really make the maneuver a reality, it would truly be a milestone for the field of mecha operation.

Regardless of the type and rank of battle, speed was one of the most important components. A controllable super speed was definitely a powerful force that could alter the tides of the battle. What Tang Wulin displayed was precisely that.

At this moment, the black mecha within the testing field started moving. With a flash of light, the black mecha under Tang Wulin’s control leaped. The thrusters on its back and under its feet shone as they pushed the heavy black mecha into the skies.

The data showed that everything was normal. The mecha was flying stably. There was nothing out of the ordinary.

Just when Li Zheping frowned and had some puzzlement in his heart, the black mecha shook violently. A strange buzz came from within the mecha. Shortly after, the eight-meter tall black mecha had already shot forward like a black lightning bolt. All its thrusters were engaged to the maximum and it seemed to leave thunderclaps in its wake.

A perfect triangle of black lightning was carved out in the skies. Everything was accomplished in an instant. If the black afterimage did not clearly show itself within the testing field, the black mecha appeared as if it had not budged.

“Bzzt! Bzzt! Bzzt!”

“Bam!” The final sound created a sound wave from breaking the sonic barrier. This sound wave had only reached the sensors after the black mecha stopped moving.

The buzzing sounds from the black mecha grew louder. However, it did not explode like the mecha in the Mingdu Coliseum back then.

Everything returned to normal as if nothing had ever happened and the black mecha slowly descended from the skies.

Li Zheping gulped.

‘He did it? Just like that?’

‘He didn’t even make any preparations. He didn’t even allow the mecha’s gears to warm up sufficiently nor did he get familiar with the mecha, and he did that?’

‘He endured the impact from this sudden acceleration?’

When Tang Wulin completed Gu Yuena Lightning Triangular Maneuver in the Mingdu Coliseum, they had analyzed the data after that. They opined that the impact that the mecha master had to endure to complete this maneuver would be of a terrifying level. There was no guarantee that an ordinary expert of Title Douluo rank would be able to endure it.

However, Tang Wulinhad endured it without any problem and without warming up. This meant that his body’s endurance was already at a terrifying level.

“Quick, gather the data.”

The data stream flickered across the screens like raindrops. They documented the various changes in the data when Tang Wulin executed the maneuver.

Naturally, the results were very terrifying. The data showed that when Tang Wulin was executing the Gu Yuena Lightning Triangular Maneuver, his highest speed reached was three times the speed of sound. It was a true supersonic speed. It was two times faster than what he had managed in the Mingdu City.

If the only difference was in speed, it was understandable. After all, black mechas could not be compared to yellow mechas.

However, his high speed was no ordinary high speed. He was traveling at a speed two times greater than supersonic speed. This meant that his body had to endure the pressure that was at least three times stronger.

‘Is he still human? Where are his limits?’

The Blue Electric Overlord Dragon martial soul lived up to its reputation of being a super martial soul passed down from ancient times. This was not as simple as striking awe in the observers.

The mecha’s cockpit opened and Tang Wulin leapt out of it. He acted as if nothing had happened. He sniffed at the air, which was clearly filled with the smell of something burning. This was created when the black mecha passed through the air at high speed.
