Douluo Dalu 4: Ultimate Fighting

TL: BluVerse

Lan Xuanyu exclaimed in surprise, "So, these thirty-six God’s Wrath devices were created 7,600 years ago?"

"Yes, and as long as they’re not triggered, they remain stable. The method of using them is also quite unique, perfected through countless experiments by our scientists. Aren’t these god-level source cores known to have emotions? Emotions like reluctance and anger. Once they transform into source cores, these emotions become the autonomous emotions of God’s Wrath. We can't let the energy vent out, as that would cause God’s Wrath to explode, but we found a way to release the emotions. So, if the user’s spiritual power reaches at least the Spirit Abyss level, and uses god-level metal to guide the emotions within God’s Wrath, these emotions will be released. The guiding god-level metal must be pre-connected to calm the emotions released by God’s Wrath and promise to reforge the god-level body in the future, allowing it to be reborn. This way, God’s Wrath will completely obey the guide and can be detonated at any time."

Lan Xuanyu was stunned. "Is it really that complicated?"

"No, not at all. In fact, all you have to do is hold the god-level metal we provide, touch it to the surface of God’s Wrath, and use your spiritual power to tell it when to explode. The god-level metal only needs to be in contact for thirty seconds. The metal we provide will persuade it."

At this moment, Lan Xuanyu felt like his eyes were opened to a new world. God’s Wrath was clearly a super bomb, yet its detonation method was so peculiar.

"God’s Wrath is the purest form of explosive power. Its blast radius covers a diameter of 10,000 meters, and the explosion’s intensity generates a terrifying shockwave. Essentially, within this range, it’s equivalent to the full force of a god-level expert between level one hundred and one hundred ten. Every corner within this range will experience the same force. Not even a battleship’s shield can withstand it; it would be torn apart. Its power is about a hundred times that of the original God-Slaying soul-guided fixed ammunition."

Lan Xuanyu gasped, "So, isn’t it more powerful than an antimatter missile?"

"They’re not in the same league. Antimatter missiles can’t break through a battleship’s defenses. Plus, antimatter missiles are much larger. Most importantly, God’s Wrath has a special feature we call Divine Radiance. When God’s Wrath explodes, there’s an absolute safe zone with a three-meter diameter at the center of the blast. This means that when God’s Wrath explodes outward, the very center is safe. So, if you encounter an unbeatable enemy, detonate it—even if you're holding it in your hand, you won’t be harmed. Only those outside the three-meter radius, within the ten-kilometer blast zone, will be affected."

"Is that even possible?" Lan Xuanyu was utterly shocked. Truly, this was the crowning achievement of the Tang Sect’s scientists! This thing could even protect its wielder?

"God’s Wrath is a conscious forbidden weapon. It protects the center because it needs to ensure the holder survives to help it be reborn. This isn’t something any technology can achieve. Therefore, after using God’s Wrath, you must immediately return the god-level metal so we can handle the re-forging of God’s Wrath’s body. Of course, the safest way is to set a timed explosion and move out of the blast range of ten kilometers, just in case. This thing hasn’t been used in thousands of years. If that absolute safe three-meter zone doesn’t work, you’ll be in serious trouble."

"Uh-huh." Lan Xuanyu nodded repeatedly. Both Meng Fei and Tang Miao noticed that, at this moment, the boy was staring at the thirty-six God’s Wrath devices in front of him with a look of utter fascination. His already beautiful big eyes seemed to be glowing, and his face was filled with infatuation.

“Cough, cough, is it really right to give this to him? I don’t think the boss knows how daring this kid is,” Tang Miao whispered to Meng Fei.

Meng Fei coughed, “I understand the boss’s intentions. Having this child carry a forbidden weapon is partly to ensure his safety. But it’s also to let the military and the Federation know that he’s one of us at Tang Sect, and that he has our full support. Anyone who wants to mess with him has to think twice about the combined strength of Tang Sect and Shrek Academy. Let him use it, as long as he keeps himself safe.”

“Ding, ding, ding.” Just then, they noticed Lan Xuanyu tapping on the protective shield.

The sound startled both of them. Meng Fei said, “What are you doing?”

Lan Xuanyu asked, “Hall Master, how do you open this? I want to pack up these God’s Wrath devices! Don’t worry, the space inside my Ring of Fate is very safe.”

“Pack them up? You’re planning to take them all?” Tang Miao looked at him in shock.

“Huh? Aren’t they all for me?” Lan Xuanyu was also confused.

Meng Fei’s mouth twitched, resisting the urge to smack the boy. “You’ve got some nerve, thinking they’re all for you. Do you even know the value of these things? Are you planning to blow up the home planet? Take them all, indeed. You’re allowed to take one God’s Wrath.”

“Only one? That’s too little. What if I run into several strong enemies in a row?” Lan Xuanyu blinked. “How about giving me ten? I promise I won’t misuse them.”

“Don’t even think about it.” Tang Miao couldn't hold back and slapped Lan Xuanyu’s hand away from the shield.

Lan Xuanyu furrowed his brows and said, “But if I use it up, I won’t have anywhere to get more. Five, how about five? I think that might barely be enough for the time we’re with the military.”

Meng Fei suddenly felt that Tang Miao’s earlier concern was spot on, and he quickly said, “Xuanyu, there’s something you need to understand first. We brought you to the forbidden arsenal and allowed you to use these not for you to go around killing enemies, but for self-protection—as a safeguard.”

“Yes, I understand, Hall Master. But at least give me three. I’ll need at least three, right? I don’t even know how long this mission will take.” Lan Xuanyu blinked his big eyes. “This time, Teacher Nana won’t be with me to protect me. I have to rely on myself for everything. I brought back such important information last time, and if the Heavenly Dragon from the Dragon Horse Galaxy finds out I’m still alive, they might come to kill me. One device would only allow me to escape once, which definitely won’t be enough!”

Meng Fei closed his eyes for a moment and, after hesitating, said, “Alright, three it is.”

“Thank you, Hall Master!” Lan Xuanyu was overjoyed, and under the watchful eyes of Meng Fei and Tang Miao, he moved toward another metal platform nearby. "So, what’s next? What’s this one?"

Tang Miao and Meng Fei exchanged glances, and Tang Miao said, “What do you mean, ‘what’s next’? Isn’t God’s Wrath enough?”

Lan Xuanyu looked innocent as he replied, “Just now, the Hall Master said that God’s Wrath was developed by our Tang Sect 7,600 years ago. So it must be the weakest one here, right? God’s Wrath doesn’t truly showcase the real power of our Tang Sect’s weapons. There are so many other forbidden weapons here, dozens of them. It’s such a rare opportunity; won’t you introduce them to me, Hall Master? At worst, I’ll just ask for a little of each one. What do you think?”

“Get out!” Meng Fei and Tang Miao said almost in unison.

Half an hour later, Lan Xuanyu stood outside the main gate of Tang Sect’s headquarters, looking a bit dejected as he rubbed his nose. “So stingy, I was just a little greedy. They actually kicked me out.”

Yes, he had been kicked out. Meng Fei and Tang Miao, who hadn’t lost their temper in who knows how many years, still ended up throwing him out. In fact, from Lan Xuanyu, they felt a sense of danger.

Since learning about Lan Xuanyu’s identity, Meng Fei had even discussed with Tang Miao the possibility of, once Lan Xuanyu grew up and became truly powerful, considering him as a future candidate to inherit the position of Hall Master of the Battle Hall, as a way to compete with Shrek Academy for talent.
