In the end, more than a thousand six hundred people entered the elimination stage of the match. There were four rounds of elimination matches from which about a hundred people would be selected to participate in the following round-robin match.

Tang Wulin walked leisurely on the streets of Mingdu City. Mingdu City was flourishing. As a prime city of the continent currently, its streets were bustling with an incessant flow of traffic and throngs of people scurrying about.

The skyscrapers stood tall on both sides of the streets. Huge posters of the Joust For A Spouse Festival were hung throughout the city. The Silver Dragon Princess Gu Yuena was a familiar face which was becoming well known among the public.

It was not so long ago when no one knew about Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena. At present, they were the two figures that stood on the centerstage of the world.

Tang Wulin was well-known among the people because of the Battle of Five Gods in the Star Luo Empire, while Gu Yuena became famous from the Joust For A Spouse Festival.

Both of them became famous not by choice but under unplanned circumstances.

When they entered Shrek Academy more than a decade ago, they could never have imagined their present situation today.

Tang Wulin walked to a place not too far away where a large screen attracted his attention. There were many people who stood surrounding the large screen which was currently screening the scenes of the tests. The soul masters were shown displaying their abilities. There were even some scenes from the Ten Thousand Beast Platform. It was just as Tang Wulin had predicted. The Spirit Pagoda was capable of observing the situation inside the Ten Thousand Beast Platform. However, the images of the scenes were not focused and distinct.

Tang Wulin thought of the time he entered the forbidden zone which went undetected by the Spirit Pagoda. Otherwise, the staff would have responded differently when he came out from the place.

Tang Wulin’s soul communicator rang, so he picked it up. “Who’s there?”

“Your Excellency Yu Longyue. I’m the chief secretary of the Mecha Association. May I know how long it will be before you arrive at the test arena?” A courteous voice was heard at the other end of the communicator.

“I’ll be there in about ten minutes, I guess.” Tang Wulin looked at the time displayed on his soul communicator.

The elimination match began officially today. However, Tang Wulin’s competition was not set for today but tomorrow due to the large number of participants. As a result, the organizer had to schedule many sessions. The Mecha Association had extended an invitation to Tang Wulin so he could demonstrate Gu Yuena’s Triangular Shift today. At the same time, they wanted to confirm the name of the high-end mecha maneuver created by Tang Wulin.

“Alright. We’ll await your arrival in the test arena then.”

Tang Wulin quickened his steps upon hanging up the communicator. He did not use a ride because he wished to observe the situation in Mingdu City closely.

He had anticipated the propaganda attack from the Spirit Pagoda. It would not affect their overall plan this time. In reality, the Tang Sect’s plan ran concurrently with Shrek Academy’s plan.

The Mecha Association truly deserved its reputation as one of the biggest associations in the Federation. The Blacksmith Association could not keep up to its progress anymore. It was the most outstanding association. It was even larger than the Soul Master Association. After all, there were limited soul masters, but a rather large number of mecha masters. The mecha masters were the main force in the Federation.

The test arena was located not far from the west side of the downtown area. It was in a building similar to the coliseum.

The building was enormous. The Mecha Association was obviously wealthy to be able to own such a large piece of land in Mingdu where the land costs as much as a gold bar per square inch!

Tang Wulin had just arrived at the entrance where the staff was waiting for him. He was guided to the test arena.

The test arena was a metal structure. Tang Wulin could immediately feel the presence of a force field as soon as he entered the place.

One of the staff then said, “This is so because the test arena is located in the downtown area. The test arena has the top defense capability in the Federation to ensure Mingdu City’s safety and its own. Many of the high-end weapons in the Federation are tested in our facility. The test arena is divided into three regions: the mecha’s weapon test, the mecha’s comprehensive test, and the high-tech weapon’s test. We’re leading you to the mecha’s comprehensive test region now.”

The person who led the way was a female personnel over twenty years old. She was dressed in a white uniform which accentuated her figure. She had a sweet smile whenever she spoke. She had short, reddish brown hair which was neat and made her look attractive.

Her eyes were huge with blue irises that revealed her local Mingdu’s bloodline. The current Federation was formed after a collision between the tectonic plate movements of the two continents. The collision was between the original Douluo Continent and the Sun Moon Continent.

A large portion of today’s most advanced soul technology originated from the Sun Moon Continent back in the beginning. It was also because of the advanced soul technology brought by the Sun Moon Continent which resulted in the expansion in the Douluo Continent. The event took place over ten thousand years ago.

The female personnel’s eyes and hair color revealed that she belonged to a race which originated from the Sun Moon Continent.

As she went about introducing the place, she would sneak a peek at Tang Wulin occasionally.

Tang Wulin was dressed casually today. He wore a pair of black pants with a black tunic shirt. Two of the buttons were undone to reveal the silver dragon scale hanging around his neck. There was also the seven-colored bracelet on his wrist.

He did not retain his initial facial features. Instead, he wore Yu Longyue’s image which had been sculpted until he was extremely good-looking.

It was apparent that the high-ranking female officer on duty at the Mecha Association was not only ogling Tang Wulin, but more importantly, she was aware that this person was a Title Douluo skilled in operating mechas.

From appearances, Yu Longyue was but a twenty-seven or twenty-eight year-old man who was at the best years of his life. His bright future was simply limitless. Naturally, she did not mind having a relationship with such an outstanding powerhouse. It would be a memorable relationship even if it held no future for her. Besides, if something happened between them, she would stand to gain from the relationship.

Any person from a high-level academy who was as hard-working as her would be skilled in seizing the opportunity.

In reality, she was behaving appropriately and displayed a prim and proper image in front of Tang Wulin all this while.

As he listened to her expositions, Tang Wulin was also observing his surroundings.

She was right. The defense here was rather tight. The alloy used in the building was forged from the combination of many metals casted specially. As a blacksmith, Tang Wulin was familiar with metals. It was evident that the Mecha Association was wealthy!

“Welcome.” There were a dozen people from the Mecha Association who welcomed him as soon as he walked into the spacious arena. The leader was a tall, slim man over forty years of age. He was dressed in uniform too. His uniform was adorned with a silver pattern that made him appear different from the other staff.

It was an oval-shaped building two hundred meters in height that spanned over a thousand meters in diameter. The entire space was extremely spacious. Such an enormous enclosed space was hard to come by. Tang Wulin obviously felt an intense energy fluctuation in the place.

“Your Excellency Yu Longyue. I’m the Mecha Association’s chief secretary Li Zheping who communicated with you earlier. I’m pleased to be able to witness the test.”

Tang Wulin shook Li Zheping’s hand. He spoke indifferently, “We shall begin as soon as possible then.”

Li Zheping saw that Tang Wulin was not interested in making small talk. So, he spoke smilingly, “Alright, I’ll immediately send someone to get it ready for you. Are you going to use your own mecha or our mecha?”

Tang Wulin casually replied, “It’s better that your association provide the mecha so there won’t be any queries about my mecha after I complete the maneuver.”
