Douluo Continent: Not enough bloodline? Make up for it with brains!

Page 226

This has long been a drawback in the training of martial soul masters who fight against dragon-type martial souls.

Even if he couldn't beat Xu Yuan, Wu Siduo and other peers, or Yuanen Yehui and other acquaintances, it wouldn't affect him much.

After all, none of them had dragon blood.

His Golden Dragon King bloodline power could suppress other soul masters of the same age, and even those who were not of the same age but whose soul power was within two ranks of each other, and the suppression effect was extremely obvious.

This dragon leap is also of dragon blood, and is suppressed by his Golden Dragon King bloodline.

Tang Wulin was certain of this.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't have thought that under such superior pressure, Long Yue could unleash a will that truly threaten his life.

Because of Xu Yuan's reminder, as soon as the battle began, he realized that although Long Yue's bloodline was suppressed by him, it was not that strong.

Resistance is still an option.

It's similar to how a Soul Master can still unleash their full power even when pressured by the Soul Sect's soul power.

Having discovered this, Tang Wulin did not let his guard down during the battle, nor did he relax his guard because his bloodline suppressed his opponent or because of his noble bloodline.

That's why he dodged that attack.

At this moment, looking at the figure that exuded a heavy aura and was as solemn as a mountain, Tang Wulin felt a trace of lingering fear.

If he hadn't dodged, even if the combined force of the giant hammer could barely withstand the initial impact, the recoil and the subsequent terrifying pressure would have been enough to severely injure Tang Wulin, shattering his internal organs.

Similarly, without the exoskeleton, Tang Wulin was certain that even if he wanted to dodge immediately, it would be too late.

Once again experiencing the exoskeleton mecha that had become one with his body, Tang Wulin truly appreciated how practical it was.

Unlike real mecha, it is not cumbersome. Instead, it can assist Soul Masters in performing various skill-based power transfers. The design of this power transfer structure can be regarded as a major advancement in mecha technology.

"Brother Xu was able to come up with such a technology. I wonder if there are any other technologies for mechas." Tang Wulin was increasingly impressed by Xu Yuan's terrifying abilities.

He cultivates four secondary professions simultaneously, as well as essence, energy, and spirit. He even persists in both mecha and battle armor at the same time. Although he is lagging behind in battle armor, that is due to pursuing too high a goal. However, he is also making breakthroughs in mecha.

It seems that Xu Yuan's choice to cultivate both mecha and battle armor simultaneously is not the kind where mecha drags down battle armor, nor is mecha merely a supplement to battle armor; rather, he genuinely intends to advance both mecha and battle armor on an equal footing.

He's perfecting the mecha's technology!

Tang Wulin was certain that Xu Yuan would further refine the technology of this exoskeleton mecha and then equip it into real mechas.

The metal used in this exoskeleton was all crafted by Tang Wulin himself. The design blueprints were designed with the help of Xu Yuan, and the manufacturing was rushed out by him through the Tang Sect's connections.

Tang Wulin also admired Xu Yuan for this.

They actually allowed him to take the design drawings to the Tang Clan to have them make such a technology.

"Perhaps, Brother Xu is trying to promote the development of the mecha industry?"

It's not just about one person's progress.

It is not a matter of individual progress, but rather the rise of a collective.

Thinking of this, Tang Wulin felt even more admiration for Xu Yuan.

A fleeting thought crossed Tang Wulin's mind as he felt the whistling wind and saw a fist as big as a boulder approaching. Tang Wulin suddenly unleashed the Ghost Shadow Illusion technique.

There was no effort or preparation required to get started!

This is an exoskeleton mecha.

Like a spring, when squeezed hard, the spring stores that force, and when the valve is no longer blocking it, it releases the force again.

The joints of the exoskeleton are like springs, capable of storing energy. The cooperation between multiple different springs allows for the transfer of energy, thus effectively preserving and converting it.

Even the springs inside the exoskeleton mech in its normal state are in a semi-compressed state, which ensures that the operator can open the so-called valve at any time to obtain this initial force.

To sprint, there's no need for an initial, forceful push off the ground; the exoskeleton's launch mechanism solves this problem.

Of course, one must circulate soul power through the legs to withstand the force and accept the speed change brought about by this power in order to achieve the entire launch start process.

This was already considered a skill for Tang Wulin.

The Ghostly Shadow has no pre-cast animation!

At this moment, Tang Wulin once again gathered his strength to unleash the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique.

He quickly retreated, constantly increasing the distance between himself and Long Yue, avoiding a direct confrontation.

For a full five minutes, Long Yue wreaked havoc everywhere, leaving the entire arena riddled with holes, while Tang Wulin finally stacked the power of the Chaotic Cloak to twenty layers.

The reason it's only twenty layers is because he had to use the power he had accumulated to convert speed to dodge some of Long Yue's attacks, and that power was lost. The power at sixteen layers might be less, so he started accumulating from fourteen layers again.

Thus, being able to stack up to twenty layers in five minutes is already quite terrifying.

After stacking up to twenty layers of power, Tang Wulin did not continue to stack it.

Beyond that, the power cannot be controlled at will.

This is not the limit of exoskeleton mechs, but the limit of human soul masters.

Human Soul Masters are ultimately only one unit of power. Even if they can distribute this power with the help of exoskeletons, it is still only twenty units of power. How can they truly do whatever they want?

Even using minimal force to move a great weight requires some effort to achieve the desired result.

In particular, the advantage of this use of exoskeleton mechs lies in their instantaneous activation. If one were to truly achieve a great effect with minimal effort, the required conversion and pre-cast animation would actually increase.

The twentieth floor was the limit of Tang Wulin's physical endurance.

With the power of twenty layers used for dodging, Long Yue couldn't keep up with Tang Wulin's speed at all.

However, Long Yue always has his weaknesses.

At that moment, with the power of the twentieth floor, the giant hammer slammed down.

There was no direct confrontation.

Because the force of the recoil was something Tang Wulin was unwilling to bear.

He waged guerrilla warfare in this way, striking Long Yue when he was unable to exert his strength, and dodging when Long Yue attacked.

The audience booed loudly.

This grasshopper's fighting style is really unpleasant to watch.

However, it must be admitted that this was also a tactic for Tang Wulin, simply utilizing his own advantages.

On the contrary, many true Soul Masters, especially the contestants, are now focused on the root of Tang Wulin's tactical approach.

Anyone with eyes can see that Tang Wulin was able to do this entirely thanks to this exoskeleton mecha.

Exoskeleton mecha.

In fact, this branch exists in the history of mecha development.

The mecha was designed to fit snugly against the human body, eliminating the need for cumbersome levers or other auxiliary controls. Instead, the Soul Master operated the mecha as if it were their own body, which was highly sought after by many mecha pilots at the time.

However, while the concept of exoskeleton mechs is easy to understand, the actual construction is extremely difficult.

Such a large mecha, moving completely in sync with the human body, is essentially powered entirely by energy circulation. Simply having the Soul Master's limbs move to drive the mecha's actions involves too much power conversion, and simply conforming to the Soul Master's body would be inconvenient. Later, various buttons and levers similar to game controls were introduced to simplify all the actions required for mecha combat as much as possible, and then various mecha combat techniques were replicated through operation.

Of course, the control systems for mechs are also quite diverse.

Standard mechs are all controllable.

Personally crafted mechs, especially those reaching the red-level, often see pilots attempting to revert to control procedures similar to exoskeletons. However, in these cases, the pilot must simultaneously use powerful mental strength to control the flow of soul power and the mech's energy within the mech, thereby propelling its movements.

To truly integrate the mecha into one's body.

Just as raising one's hand is the result of the coordination of various muscles in the arm within a Soul Master's body, going a little deeper, it involves the supply of energy to the corresponding muscle contractions, and going even deeper, it involves the transmission of signals in nerve cells, which then issue commands to ultimately achieve the action of raising the arm.

The same applies to mechs. Mental power is the neural network, and soul power or the energy of a mech is the bio-energy within a soul master's body. Soul guidance arrays are devices that can convert energy into power.

This requires a high degree of integration between the mech pilot and the mech. Spirit forging is the foundation, and it is best to use spirit-forged spirit alloys to achieve almost zero-latency operation.

Some mechs employ two driving methods: one uses mental energy to control the energy flow, and the other uses manual control.

In short, in the history of mecha development, the theoretically optimal mecha is one that is driven by a mechanism that fits snugly against the human body. However, due to technological limitations, only a few Red-level mecha pilots are moving in this direction, while the rest of the mecha are driven by methods such as buttons.

The idea that Soul Masters and Mechas are compatible is really just about being able to adapt to this sense of disharmony.

Becoming an excellent mech pilot comes with this additional limitation.

The exoskeleton mecha is quite simple and can hardly be called a real mecha anymore. After all, the exoskeleton mecha that Tang Wulin is wearing has too limited effects and does not meet the current standards for judging mecha.

However, it cannot be denied that this is a model of a powerful mecha structure.

If this exoskeleton mech were expanded and its power conversion system were integrated into a normal mech, it would greatly enhance the potential of mech pilots.

No, it's not about integrating the power conversion system of this exoskeleton into a normal mecha, but rather integrating other parts of the normal mecha into the framework of this exoskeleton.

In this way, the exoskeleton mecha becomes a true mecha.

However, by then, the exoskeleton will inevitably become more 'bulky', and if it were not made of spirit alloy, it would be virtually impossible for Tang Wulin to control it as freely as he does.

The audience brainstormed, pondering the applications of exoskeleton technology.

At first, I was shocked and astonished.

However, after analyzing each point, it was eventually discovered that the impact on the entire mecha industry seemed to be negligible.

The barrier to entry is still high.
