Chapter 989: Successful Application for Leave (2/2)

The Star Battle Net provided a platform to facilitate battles in their purest form, and he didn't have to worry about excessively harming his opponent, so this was a greatly beneficial experience for him. In particular, a whole new world had been opened up to him when it came to mecha piloting skills.

The overall power of the western competition region was definitely the most lackl.u.s.ter in the entire federation, but don't forget that the Blood God Legion was part of this region. Tang Wulin would often face opponents from the Blood God Legion, and they were the most powerful opponents that one could face on the entire continent during the regional competitions.

Even in the same competition region, the likelihood of being paired up increased when two people were in close proximity with one another.

After Tang Wulin defeated his eighth mecha opponent, the dialogue of the electronic voice finally changed.

”The elimination stage of the western competition region has concluded, and you have progressed to the round-robin stage. There will be a total of 64 participants in the round-robin stage. The participants will be split up into eight groups, and the top four of each group will comprise the top 32 that will progress to the finals.”

This was quite a simple and efficient process; it meant that he would have to participate in seven round-robin matches, and if he notched up enough wins, then he'd progress to the finals as one of the top 32 of the western competition region.

Tang Wulin had secured eight consecutive victories in both the mecha and Soul Master battle segments, and he hadn't encountered any particularly powerful opponents during this process. The most powerful opponent that he'd encountered had only been a Soul Emperor.

During these past few days of battle and cultivation, his martial soul and bloodline had completely integrated with one another, and the crystalline core within the soul power vortex was becoming more and more pronounced. He was only one step away from materializing a soul core.

”There will be three days of rest before the round-robin stage begins.”

Tang Wulin's heart was immediately filled with excitement upon hearing this. Would he be able to apply for leave during those three days?

Thus, Tang Wulin immediately paid Blood One a visit.

”You want a break?” Blood One asked as he glanced at Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin was looking at him with a hopeful expression as he said, ”I've been here for so long already, and you won't give me a promotion. Now that the elimination battles have ended and I've progressed in both segments, I've completed the assigned mission with extra credit, so can I just get a couple of days off? I want to go and visit the Scorching Basin and give myself some time to relax.”

After a brief moment of contemplation, Blood One said, ”Alright, but don't go for too long.”

”Thank you, Superior!” Tang Wulin was ecstatic. After staying here for close to two months, he would finally be able to see Gu Yuena again! Was there anything more blissful than this?

He departed from Blood One's office in an elated manner before immediately dialing Gu Yuena's number.

”Gu Yue, wait for me; I can go and visit you now! I'll set off right away, and it should take me around three hours to get to where you are.” He didn't have to scale all of the snowy mountains again as he could fly using his suit of two-word battle armor.

”That's great! I'll wait for you, Father.” Gu Yuena's voice was trembling slightly from excitement.

Tang Wulin immediately departed from the legion base before releasing his suit of two-word battle armor. He spread open his wings and rose up into the air, flying as quickly as he could toward the Scorching Basin's direction.

The biting chill in the frosty winds cut into his body like knives, but it was immediately nullified by Tang Wulin's immense blood essence power. With his golden wings completely spread open, he looked like a massive golden bird gliding through the air. One mountain peak after another flashed past beneath him, and he was flying at an extraordinary speed.

Being able to fly was truly the best! This was conserving him a massive amount of time. Tang Wulin flapped his wings vigorously to accelerate once again. This was one of the main benefits of having a suit of two-word battle armor, and a suit of one-word battle armor was completely incomparable.

Finally, the Scorching Basin appeared in the distance, and the surrounding air temperature was clearly elevating. Tang Wulin withdrew his wings before landing onto the ground.

He didn't plan to just fly over to the Scorching Basin as there were soldiers guarding the basin, and it would be bad if he were mistaken for an intruder.

He pulled out some normal clothes from his storage ring and changed out of his military uniform before rushing toward the basin like a madman. All he wanted was to get to Gu Yue as quickly as possible.
