Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting-Novel

662 – The Sky Wings Soar

“Alright,” Qian Lei said helplessly.

The main reason they didn’t bring him along was because his Sky Wing was slightly slower. Due to his height, his Sky Wing mecha was larger than others, and its larger size affected his speed.

Lan Xuanyu brought his five teammates to an empty space at the side. Silver light flickered on his hands and six mechas appeared before them with spatial fluctuations.

Their dark purple paint was darker than ordinary purple mechas. These mechas were about six meters tall and had almost perfectly streamlined bodies. They didn’t look too different from ordinary mechas.

The mechas’ chest area split open as they leaped up and entered their own mechas. Silver light flickered on their bodies as their One-Word Battle Armor was released and perfectly fitted with the mecha. Using Battle Armor to amplify their soul power and combine it with a mecha was the foundation of Duo Mecha Master.

Lan Xuanyu’s team’s One-Word Battle Armors looked similar and were all made out of mithril. One-Word Battle Armors were the most basic Battle Armors without any extravagant decorations, just a layer of close-fitting armor. Mithril had an extremely great amplification effect on their soul power and could allow them to fight longer. The overall effect was enhanced.

The chest of the mechas closed and a faint purple light appeared.

“Let’s go!” Lan Xuanyu ordered. His mecha was the first to soar into the sky. As it rose, the back of the mecha split open, two wings extended, and the awl head closed in. The area beneath his feet turned into a jet, and a series of metallic clangs resounded. The Sky Wing mecha had completed its transformation and became a slender space fighter.

The Sky Wing mechas that had transformed into space fighters increased their speed and shot into the sky like cannonballs. The six Sky Wing mechas disappeared from everyone’s sight in an instant.

The other students of the Star War Experiment class looked at the Sky Wing fighters with envy.

What all-terrain vehicles and mechas were compared to the Sky Wings ? These Shapeshifting Sky Wings were so cool!

The speed of a space fighter was incomparable to a mecha. Switching between two modes for engaging into different battles—this was true strength. One had to know that their Sky Wings could even break through the atmosphere and enter space directly.

This was the result of Tang Zhenhua’s 20-year research.

The six Sky Wings continued to accelerate and Lan Xuanyu activated the radar on the Sky Wings to scan the ground below.

Their wings were powered by the Positive Circulation Source Soul Circuit unit, but the only problem was that they didn’t have a furnace. They couldn’t directly convert rare metals into power. After all, the size of a mecha couldn’t be compared to a warship. According to Tang Zhenhua’s design, as long as there was a warship with a furnace for supply, the space fighters would be able to replenish themselves and continue fighting.

“Di di, di di, di di.” An unfamiliar signal came in from the communication system.

Lan Xuanyu picked up the call and a voice came from the other side. “This is the Douluo Federation’s Dragon Source Planet base. Please confirm your identity immediately.”

Lan Xuanyu understood that they were discovered by the base’s radar.

“Please confirm my identity, reserve Sky Fighter, Lan Xuanyu. Sky Fighter id : 56435. From Shrek Academy.” Lan Xuanyu attached his soul communication device to the mecha’s communication device and typed his identity as a Sky Fighter.

After a moment of silence, the voice came again. “Sky Fighter identity confirmed. Please be careful.”

The communication ended.

Dragon Source Planet’s radar center.

A staff member with the rank of a second lieutenant mumbled to himself, “Even reserve Sky Fighters have space fighters ? They can even bring them here. Shrek Academy is truly amazing! Six space fighters. Incredible !”

***

Lan Xuanyu naturally didn’t know what the staff member was thinking. After his identity was confirmed, his flight was authorized.

He led the team and flew. He wasn’t in a rush to explore deeper and instead, he searched horizontally where they were previously.

Occasionally, some Proto Dragons would appear within his range of detection, but there weren’t many of them. They were all spread sporadically over a wide area.

Lan Xuanyu didn’t give the order to attack. Their mission this time was mainly to scout.

He had been out for quite some time and hoped to find a large number of Proto Dragons. This way, after hunting one more time with the whole class, they would be able to return today. After all, it was still the first day.

With the search in vain, Lan Xuanyu led the team and flew deeper. The speed of the Sky Wing fighters was extremely fast, and in a short while, they had gone over a hundred kilometers.

“Xuanyu, I think I found something.” Tang Yuge’s voice came through the communication device.

“What did you find?” Lan Xuanyu asked.

Tang Yuge said, “My spiritual power is amplified through my Sky Wing, so my range of detection is larger. At the same time, I can also sense the ground more clearly in the air. There is an extremely strong metal element fluctuation at two o’clock in front of us. There should be quite a number of Proto Dragons. Do you want to take a look?”

Lan Xuanyu replied, “Alright. Head to the right diagonally, two o’clock direction. Change to Yuge leading the team and reconnaissance at high speed.”

The six warships quickly changed their formation. Tang Yuge’s space fighter flew to the front and suddenly accelerated, forming a triangular formation with one fighter in the first row, two in the second, and three in the third row as it flew in the direction Tang Yuge said.

The so-called high-speed reconnaissance was to perform reconnaissance at an extremely fast speed. Once they discovered a problem, they would immediately retreat at high speed.

Very soon, Lan Xuanyu also sensed that there was a very strong energy fluctuation in front of him on his radar. He enlarged his vision and in the next moment, the six people couldn’t help but gasp.

In front of them, countless Proto Dragons were gathered there for god knows what. There was no end to them. There were at least hundreds or thousands of them.

Among these Proto Dragons, there were some that were especially large. The furthest away was a 100-meter tall Proto Dragon. It turned its head and looked coldly in their direction.

That Proto Dragon was also a Star Tyrant Proto Dragon, but it was more than 10 times larger than the one they killed previously.

“Roar!” The 100-meter tall Star Tyrant Proto Dragon roared towards the sky and its eyes burst forth with a strong golden light.

Lan Xuanyu immediately felt that their Sky Wing mechas had lost control. A huge suction force came from afar.

One had to know that they were still a few kilometers away from that Star Tyrant Proto Dragon! The magnetic field was undoubtedly from his innate skill.

Lan Xuanyu shouted, “Retreat.” Their space fighter jet spewed out a strong light as he quickly released Elemental Stripping.

A four-colored halo spread out from his Sky Wing fighter and enveloped the six of them.

All of a sudden, the space fighters became light and they quickly drew an arc in the air before turning around and running in the direction they came from.

They didn’t even have to think to know how terrifying that 100-meter tall Proto Dragon was. Even if it wasn’t a rank 9, it was still a rank 8 Proto Dragon. Furthermore, this huge group of 10,000 Proto Dragons was simply too terrifying. They wanted to find more Proto Dragons, but there were simply too many of them.

The Proto Dragons below had also discovered them. Hundreds of them took off and chased after them.

Lan Xuanyu felt his scalp go numb at this moment and quickly turned on his soul communication device. “Old Bing, retreat. We found a large number of Proto Dragons, a huge number. Bring everyone back to the base immediately, quick!”

His first thought was to inform his teammates to run. Who knew how many Proto Dragons would chase after them.

In the next moment, he felt that Dragon Source Planet was trembling. That’s right, it was trembling.

Lan Xuanyu’s hair stood on end when he looked through the radar. The Proto Dragon horde had moved. The gigantic Proto Dragon horde was like a tsunami as it charged towards them, or rather, towards the base.
