Douluo Continent II: You're an evil spirit master, but also a philanthropist?

Xu Cheng was deeply shocked; he hadn't expected his teacher to incorporate artificial intelligence into the design.

He truly deserves to be called a leading figure in the scientific research community.

Characters in the textbooks of the Sun and Moon Empire.

In just three years, through only some of Xu Cheng's ideas and suggestions, he has brought these things to life. His scientific talent is beyond freakish. Compared to him, even Xuan Ziwen, who was praised to the skies in the original work, would be far inferior...

While it was pondering, the mecha was not idle. Its body bent slightly, and the smooth metal lines shimmered with the light reflected from inside the cabin. It stretched out its right hand and slowly placed it in front of Xu Cheng.

The latter didn't hesitate and jumped onto the mechanical hand.

Then the arm retracts and is placed at the energy core, next to the driver's cab.

A spiritual connection.

The command was issued in my mind to close the hatch.

The discussion continued with the basics of artificial intelligence.

"Optical information reception in progress... 100%, debugging complete."

"Tortoise connection normal, balance system normal, intelligent identification system normal, fire control system detection normal, energy transmission system normal..."

"Mech, activate!"

"Boom!"

The Soul Power Engine roared loudly.

The echoes reverberated within this cabin.

The air surges.

The giant black and white mecha also lit up...

……

A small town on the border of the Sun and Moon Empire.

Following the carriage.

A stunningly beautiful young woman carefully opened the carriage curtain to admire the surrounding scenery.

"Don't worry, young lady, once we enter the Sun Moon Empire, that kind of thing won't happen again," the coachman said with a smile, reassuring the young lady.

The convoy moved forward slowly.

Jiang Nannan's tense nerves gradually relaxed.

The sheer scale of the search demonstrated the immense power of the Xuanming Sect. However, the young woman also understood who the city defense troops, dressed in Xuanming Sect uniforms, were targeting, as they were carrying portraits and blueprints and conducting the search everywhere.

It was her!

With normal intelligence, they can guess some deeper things.

Why would her leaving with her mother attract such a large-scale search from the other side, even with a hint of exasperation?

Maybe that housekeeper came for her!

Even his mother's sudden serious illness was inextricably linked to him.

"thank you……"

Jiang Nannan expressed her gratitude.

If it weren't for the coachman's painstaking efforts and the large amount of gold soul coins he spent to smooth things over, the mother and daughter might have been captured by the Xuanming Sect members halfway there.

"Hey, we're all just ordinary people. When we're out and about, we should help each other out. I can tell what kind of nonsense those bastards are spouting the moment I see them."

The driver waved his hand dismissively.

“But this time when you go back, you’ve spent a huge amount of money to grease palms. I’m afraid when you go back to your employer…” The girl took out her money bag and said sincerely, “Uncle, I’m actually a student at Shrek Academy. This is all my savings. I will repay you after my mother’s illness is treated.”

"A student from Shrek Academy?!"

The uncle's eyes widened.

"No wonder those bastards were in such a hurry; it turns out they didn't manage to snag that top student."

Looking at Jiang Nannan's pleading eyes.

The uncle also laughed.

"Don't worry, little girl. Since I'm taking you to see the Holy Spirit Cult, I'll naturally go all the way, especially since you're a top student at Shrek Academy, which makes things even easier."

"..."

Jiang Nannan was taken aback.

"You'll find out when the time comes."

The uncle gave a mysterious smile.

Chapter 63 A Gift Before the End of Life (First Update)

"Buzz!"

A gust of air was heard.

Xu Cheng also piloted the giant mecha and slowly landed on the control panel.

The surrounding sophisticated robotic arms automatically locked into the empty space, the hatch opened, and Xu Cheng jumped down from above, walking to Cheng Lao's side.

"The mental energy consumption... is indeed enormous, something that ordinary people cannot afford." Xu Cheng shook his dazed head and let out a long breath.

I just borrowed a trace of Tianmeng's spiritual power, but it's still difficult to continue.

According to his estimation, if the firepower is fully unleashed, coupled with the mecha's [Soul Power Core Cannon] [Superconducting Laser Beam] and other weapons, and with the current Tianmeng assistance, it can only maintain a normal state for about two or three hours.

No matter how long it goes on, even a dreamlike existence will eventually be overdrawn.

If he were alone, ten minutes would probably be the limit.

"Not bad, you actually lasted for an hour. Even a Soul Saint with only a spiritual focus would find it difficult to do this..." Old Cheng said with a smile.

He was clearly very satisfied with this apprentice.

After all, in his eyes, showing his apprentice around this time was just a surprise. As for real combat, it would probably need to be optimized several more times, probably several months later.

I didn't expect my apprentice to be able to operate it so quickly.

"It's a pity that mental power can't be replaced by a baby bottle..." Xu Cheng shook his head with some regret.

"What are you thinking about!" Old Cheng said helplessly. "Dual drive of soul power and mental power. It's already quite good that you can store soul power now. Otherwise, only mental-type soul masters above the Soul Douluo level can barely control this mecha."

"Hehe..." Xu Cheng chuckled awkwardly.

Indeed, some people are taking their blessings for granted.

"Currently, the entire Sun Moon Empire—no, the entire Douluo Continent—only has this one giant mech," Elder Cheng said proudly, his hands behind his back. "But even after several rounds of optimization, in about six months, only a very small number of people will be able to pilot it..."

"You mean the limitation of mental strength?" Xu Cheng asked thoughtfully.

After all, in this world, there are countless people with strong soul power, but very few who cultivate spiritual power.

Moreover, based on his trial just now, this mecha is extremely difficult to master. If it weren't for Tianmeng's support, even he wouldn't have been able to unleash its full potential.

If it can't be used, it means that this mech is useless.

Perhaps it would be better to develop lower-tier mechs to reduce the difficulty of operation...

"Is there any possibility of further optimization for this type of giant mech?" Xu Cheng asked hesitantly.

“There’s very little space left. All I can do is optimize it three times. After that, it can at most reduce the mental strength requirement to your level, but that level is roughly equivalent to a specialized Soul Saint-level mental-type Soul Master…” Old Cheng shook his head slightly.

"..."

Xu Cheng nodded slightly.

In reality, a Soul Saint-level Spiritual Soul Master can only utilize 30-40% of this mecha's power, roughly equivalent to a Title Douluo level.

However, to reach a normal level and unleash power beyond that of a Super Douluo, one must at least be a Soul Douluo.

To be honest, in the Sun Moon Empire, a Spirit-type Soul Douluo is probably even rarer than a Level 9 Soul Master...

"By the way, teacher, can the limits of this mecha be increased?" Xu Cheng pondered.

"When I was making it, I used the best materials possible. The cost alone was over a hundred million, and that's with the Sun Moon Empire having abundant metal resources and relatively low prices..." Old Cheng stroked his beard. "But I haven't piloted it yet. It's powered by mental energy, and mental energy is its limit. In other words, even at the level of a Limit Douluo, its materials can definitely support it, but it all depends on whether your mental energy strength can reach that level..."

"So powerful!"

Xu Cheng's eyes narrowed.

The most precious materials are probably all aimed at creating so-called "level 10 soul tools".

This kind of "growth-type" mecha was an incredible surprise for him.

I originally thought its ceiling was Super Douluo, but unexpectedly, this turned out to be its "floor"...

As for himself, with the gradual unsealing of Tianmeng and the Blood Eye Martial Soul, his mental strength would inevitably be far stronger than his soul strength. This mecha would be useless to others, but for him, it was a lucky accident!

"Given the size of this mecha, it would probably require a space-type soul tool of level eight or above to carry it. The key point is not its size, but its soul power fluctuations. Even during the silent period, it will occasionally unleash powerful soul tool fluctuations..." Old Cheng muttered.

"Remember to prepare one before you go out. I will complete the final round of optimization before you go to the All-Continent Soul Master Competition. Bring it with you then, so that you will have some self-protection in case of any accidents."

"Hmm..." Xu Cheng pursed his lips and nodded solemnly.
