Chapter 1465

Tang Wulin replied, "Theoretically, it should work, but the mecha pilot will need to control the speed and timing of the lightning explosions. On top of that, the mecha itself would also need to have sufficient physical tolerance for this to work."

The judge nodded in response. "I thought so, but even so, the triangular circuit you just executed was extremely spectacular and has opened up a new field of possibilities in the realm of high-grade mecha movement! I'm truly honored to have witnessed something like that. If possible, would we be able to get you to demonstrate the maneuver again in a mecha provided by our mecha pilot association?"

Tang Wulin considered this for a moment before replying, "I'll have to get back to you after this joust for a spouse event."

A hint of disappointment appeared in the judge's eyes upon hearing this. "I'll be sure to contact you then. May I ask if you've named this maneuver already?"

Tang Wulin replied, "I'll call it Lightning Triangular Circuit; it's simple and easy to remember."

The judge said, "According to the rules of our mecha pilot association, the creator of a monumental mecha piloting maneuver has the right to name it, so you can add a prefix to the Lightning Triangular Circuit."

Tang Wulin's heart stirred slightly upon hearing this, and he said, "Alright, then I'll call it Gu Yuena Lightning Triangular Circuit as a present for her."

The judge was just about to agree to this when Lan Fuozi suddenly interjected, "Oi, that's cheating! You can't do that! This has to be a fair competition; you can't just go around giving her presents like this!"

Tang Wulin countered, "If you have what it takes, why don't you give her a present as well?"

Lan Fuozi immediately flared up with rage upon hearing this, but he had to admit that he was indeed incapable of matching Tang Wulin, so he could only storm away in a fit of rage.

A worker hurriedly followed along behind him. "Your Majesty, you haven't undergone your mecha examination yet!"

Lan Fuozi didn't even turn his head as he replied, "Such a farcical examination is completely beneath me; just give me a zero!"

Tang Wulin couldn't help but burst into laughter upon hearing this. Lan Fuozi was placing himself on a high pedestal when the reality was that he simply didn't know the first thing about mecha piloting!

The judge asked, "Are you sure that's what you'd like to name the maneuver?"

Tang Wulin nodded in response.

"Alright, we'll keep that on our records, but due to the fact that the mecha you just used has exploded, you'll need to come to our association to execute the maneuver in full before we can officially assign it a name."

Tang Wulin was immediately enlightened upon hearing this. It was no wonder that the judge had been so enthusiastic about getting him to name the maneuver; he was doing this so Tang Wulin would have to demonstrate the maneuver for them again!

"Alright, we'll see if I can make some time to pay your association a visit."

Thus, he exchanged contact details with that judge. Even though the Gu Yuena Lightning Triangular Circuit he had just executed was a high-end skill, he had destroyed the mecha, so there was no way for a score to be assigned, and he had to pay for the mecha as well.

Tang Wulin gave a nonchalant reaction to this, completely in character with his adopted identity as the proud young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Thus, Lan Fuozi still led Tang Wulin by one point in the total score.

The first seven examinations had been very simple, and they were far easier than Shrek Academy's enrollment examination. Unlike Shrek Academy's examinations, which tested the skills and character of its students, these examinations were more so an opportunity for one to display their talents.

The enrollment examinations had to be preserved in the reconstructed Shrek Academy, and it was perhaps even necessary to further improve them. Perhaps reference could be drawn from some of the educational methods employed by the old demons on the demonic island. Those examinations would definitely be extremely effective for honing one's willpower and mental state, but of course, students would only be able to undertake them after reaching a certain age.

Many of Shrek Academy's students had already been to the demonic island, and they had clearly all undergone evolutions.

"What are you smiling about? Don't think that you've won just because you've invented that Gu Yuena Lightning Triangular Circuit!"

Lan Fuozi's critical voice jerked Tang Wulin out of his train of thought, and an amused look appeared on his face. "You shouldn't be seeing me as the enemy; your greatest enemy is up ahead."

Lan Fuozi's brows furrowed slightly upon hearing this. "You're saying that the event is rigged? What if the outcome has already been predetermined, and Gu Yuena doesn't choose any of us in the end?"

Tang Wulin replied, "Even if the event is rigged, it still must run its course. If you display to everyone that you're more exceptional than him in all areas, yet Gu Yuena still chooses him in the end, then everyone will begin to doubt the fairness of the event, so just focus on doing your best."

Lan Fuozi nodded in response. "I have to succeed! This is the first time my heart has ever been swayed like this by any woman."

Tang Wulin shrugged in response. "She's also the only woman for me."

On the rostrum.

"Chairman, the explosion that just took place was a result of one of the test mechas being pushed beyond its maximal tolerance capacity. Everything has already been taken care of, and no one was hurt."

Qiangu Dongfeng nodded in response. "Good, make sure to prioritize safety above all else." The reputation of the Spirit Pagoda was attached to this event, and it had also received strong support from the federation, so it would be very troublesome if something were to go wrong.

"Also, the participant piloting the mecha received no score due to the destruction of the mecha, but the people of the mecha pilot association have deemed the skill that he executed to be a monumental maneuver. As long as he can replicate the same maneuver in a high-end mecha, it'll be confirmed as an original maneuver invented by him."

Qiangu Dongfeng turned to Gu Yuena with a smile, and said, "Looks like you really do possess extraordinary allure, Nana; there are even mecha pilots inventing new maneuvers for you now!"

The worker hesitated momentarily before continuing, "Chairman, the participant assigned the name 'Gu Yuena Lightning Triangular Circuit' to the new maneuver."

Even Gu Yuena herself faltered slightly upon hearing this, and Qiangu Dongfeng couldn't help but burst into laughter. "What a bold young man! Having said that, this is the attitude that's required when pursuing a woman. Who is this participant?"

"He is Yu Longyue of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and he's displayed an exceptional performance thus far in the examinations."

Yu Longyue? Gu Yuena's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. Wasn't his battle armor named Dragon Moon Song?  [1]

According to the workers, the eighth, ninth, and tenth examinations were all going to be tests of one's overall skills and abilities.

At the eighth examination was a massive soul tool. It was the most eye-catching fixture in the entire sports stadium as it was over 80 meters tall, and was shaped like a small Spirit Pagoda. It was clear that this was a soul tool unique to the Spirit Pagoda, and Tang Wulin had never seen it before.

It was clear that the Spirit Pagoda really had poured a lot of effort into this event.

Under the guidance of a worker, Tang Wulin and Lan Fuozi strode into the giant pagoda-shaped soul tool together.

"You're going to be teleported into a place similar to the Spirit Ascension Plane, and it'll be filled with powerful soul beasts, but the teleportation locations will be randomized, so the two of you won't end up together. Once inside, your goal will be to survive for as long as possible. The longer you survive, the higher the score you'll receive."

[1] [1. The direct translation of Long(?) Yue(?) is Dragon Moon. As another sidenote, as pointed out by Slayer Kh in the comments, the Yu (?) in Yu Longyue is a different Yu (?) from the one in Tang Wulin's three-word battle armor, which is pronounced in Chinese as Long Yue Yu (???). If Tang Wulin had used the same Yu in his new pseudonym, then it would've been a direct anagram of the name of his three-word battle armor, thereby making his identity a lot more obvious.]
