Capítulo 21: Chapter 21
"Due to the current conditions of some of your bodies, we will put off cultivation for a while. Instead, we will begin with theory classes."
Huang Yu raised an eyebrow when he heard this. What type of theory classes would they be having?
"Today, we'll start off with mechas."
Wut?
C'mon man, don't joke around. Which self-respecting cultivator uses mechas in a cultivation world?
His 'retainer', Guang Biao was the captain of the mecha brigade of Eastsea City, but he wouldn't necessarily call him a 'self-respecting' cultivator after Guang Biao had bragged to him about his feats in the city.
"Teacher Wu, aren't mechas a topic for the advanced division? We're still in first grade! Isn't this too early?" Zhou Yangzi suddenly asked.
"The topics in this mecha class won't be taught in detail, so the course load won't be too much. Among you, who wants to become a Mecha Master in the future."
There was silence for a while in the classroom. When Huang Yu looked at his classmates, he realised their lines of thought very quickly.
'Is being a Mecha Master that good?' Huang Yu asked himself in his head.
When he had transmigrated, although he knew some more things like the Spirit Ascension Platform, he didn't know much about mechas.
His opinion of mechas was that they were a gimmick. It might have been because he had read to many Xianxias, but he had a pretty biased opinion about technological weapons in Xianxia.
Good during the weak stages, trash in the higher ones.
Wu Zhangkong continued after a short period of silence. "If you do, then listen to this class."
"Modern day mechas... "
To cut it short, mechas were researched for a long time. Mechas were important and are pretty strong.
However, just as Huang Yu thought that Wu Zhangkong was about to finish with the lecture, he dropped a bomb.
"However, these are not the mechas I want to talk with you about."
'...'
If that was the case, then why did you talk so much about them? You spent half an hour talking about something that wasn't even relevant to our course.
Wu Zhangkong didn't notice Huang Yu's thoughts as he indifferently continued. "Didn't you all think that as technology developed, ordinary people could control soul devices better and better? Then let me tell you, that's only what ordinary people think. In the tens of thousands of years of history the Douluo Continent has witnessed, one fact has never changed: Soul Masters are the most powerful existence!"
Xie Xie said, "Then what if they use a super-weapon? There are some super-weapons that ordinary people can use."
Wu Zhangkong nodded. "What you speak of is a possibility. But let me ask you, what if both sides had super-weapons? Who will be stronger? Let me tell you this first though, currently, the strongest super-weapon cannot defeat the strongest person."
When Huang Yu heard this, he wanted to cry. Nuclear bombs existed in this world, and they weren't even considered top-tier weapons.
If something that can dwarf them existed, and the strongest person in this world is stronger than that…
Oh God, and the strongest person in this world is only Rank 99 too. What the hell will Rank 100 and above be like then?
"So let's discuss what the actual topic of today will be about. We'll be talking about battle armour."
"Mechas are large, being five to eight metres in height. The truly powerful would not allow their body to become even larger. The reason mechas exist is to amplify power. Hence, purple mechas and onwards are all small in size, where they are almost like armour! Due to this, they are called battle armour."
After listening for a bit more, Huang Yu began to tune out what Wu Zhangkong was saying.
He didn't really want battle armour. It was something that supplemented his martial spirit. But here was the thing, his strength wasn't reliant on his martial spirit at the moment.
For the sake of passing the academy, he would reluctantly take up mecha designing but he wasn't planning on getting battle armour.
If he had to wear armour, he would prefer something like a robe.
When Wu Zhangkong finished talking about battle armours, he moved to another topic.
"From here on out, your curriculum will place an emphasis on combat practise. Right here. All of you, move the desks to the side and clear out a space in the centre.
A sense of doubt arose within the hearts of the students, but even so, they followed Wu Zhangkong's instructions.
"Huang Yu, come over here."
Huang Yu had a bad premonition about this, but he did as he was told.
"Other than Huang Yu, all of you have a problem in common. You don't have enough combat experience and techniques! What I'm talking about isn't related to your martial spirit and spirit skills since you're all somewhat decent at that. No, I'm talking about your basic combat techniques!"
Looks of skepticism flashed across the faces of everyone other than Tang Wulin and Huang Yu.
"Do you actually think there is no meaning to having basic combat techniques?"
Gu Yue said, "I understand, but Teacher Wu, my ability is based solely on controlling the elements. As long as I can control them properly in battle, I will be able to defeat any opponent. What use do I have for basic combat techniques then? Shouldn't I focus on increasing my soul power and spiritual power?"
Wu Zhangkong nodded.
"Since you think like that, then let's have a little test. Gu Yue, you and Tang Wulin go attack Huang Yu. He isn't allowed to summon his martial spirit. Let's see if you can beat him."
Huang Yu sighed when he heard this. "Don't I get a say in this?" He didn't really want to fight them again. He couldn't test his true limits against them so it was more bothersome to fight than productive.
"Nope."
Gu Yue and Tang Wulin seemed a bit hesitant when they heard that they would be fighting Huang Yu.
They naturally knew how perverted his physique was. Even Tang Wulin's mysterious golden dragon claw was weak when compared to Huang Yu's strength.
However, they believed they stood quite a good chance at victory. When Huang Yu decimated the two of them together with Xie Xie in combat, he had been using his martial spirit.
To their knowledge, a martial spirit represented a great deal of a spirit master's strength, so they should have a good chance at winning here.
They had to be careful about that strange poke, though.
As both sides were about to spring into action, Wu Zhangkong suddenly stopped the battle.
"Wait, I don't think it's fair if it's like this."
Everyone in the classroom looked at Wu Zhangkong with a confused expression on their face.
"I think it's better if all of you go up and fight Huang Yu."
All the students in Class Zero felt like spitting blood.

[Hwechook]
Both Zhou Yangzi and Wang Jinxi had been taken out in a flash. They hadn't even been able to summon their martial spirits before they were incapacitated. They weren't expecting Huang Yu to blitz right off the bat with such speed, so they had been caught unaware.
"Sorry!" Huang Yu chuckled a bit when he saw the expressions on their face.
He tilted his head as a small fireball instantly flew past where his head had been.
"It's Gu Yue…"
Huang Yu abruptly disappeared from his spot before reappearing near Gu Yue.
[Ara—
The move was interrupted as he was forced to step back to avoid a Light Dragon Blade.
Blades of Bluesilver Grass appeared as they tried to coil around him. He didn't care for it as he tried to attack Gu Yue again.
She was the most troublesome opponent in this fight. Beat her, and the battle was more or less won.
Huang Yu threw a quick jab at her, but she teleported away before he could hit her. She clearly didn't dare to fight in close quarters with Huang Yu.
The blades of Bluesilver Grass had wrapped around him at this point. However, it was merely a mild inconvenience for him as he broke through his bindings with a flex of his muscles.
Xie Xie and Tang Wulin came to assault him together. Xie Xie's twin daggers and Tang Wulin's great strength would prove to be a powerful combination against most people, however, Huang Yu, wasn't 'most' people.
He sidestepped the two of them before kicking Tang Wulin behind his left knee. As Tang Wulin was forced to kneel on one knee, another kick hit the back of his head.
Tang Wulin was sent flying for a few metres before stopping..
That last kick wasn't a normal one. Through sheer technique, Huang Yu sent a wave of air pressure with that kick, rattling Tang Wulin's brain.
With that, Tang Wulin should be out of the battle.
"Wulin!" Both Xie Xie and Gu Yue shouted at the same time.
Huang Yu took advantage of Xie Xie's momentary lapse of concentration.
[Baek Du]
A sharp knee blow found itself buried in Xie Xie's gut. That strike instantly knocked the breath out of Xie Xie.
Before Xie Xie could be launched off due to the momentum behind the knee, he was pulled back by both arms before he felt fingers poking at several points in his body.
[Acupuncture Artery Block]
With that, he merely dropped to the floor unable to move his body.
"You shouldn't lose concentration in a fight, Xie Xie."
"And so shouldn't you." A female voice came out from behind Huang Yu immediately after he had said that. A palm was sent at Huang Yu's back as an iridescent flash of energy appeared in it.
It was a whirlpool of water and fire.
Huang Yu's eyes widened in surprise. Gu Yue had actually kept an attack of this power under her sleeves.
If that attack hit him, although it wouldn't knock him out, it would still hurt him quite badly.
Just as Gu Yue thought she had the win in the bag, her arm was suddenly redirected.
[Hoe Grab]
Huang Yu had ducked down before hooking her arm down with his legs. Gu Yue wanted to teleport away, but before she could muster any energy, Huang Yu gently poked her beneath her collarbone.
With a smirk, Huang Yu said, "This is my win."
However, Gu Yue didn't answer. Her gaze shifted to the finger poking her as her ears began glowing red.
Huang Yu was confused at this reaction for a moment before he followed her gaze to his finger…
Oh.
Well fuck. Wasn't this awkward.
With nary an expression on Huang Yu's face, he removed his finger from below her collarbone.
Awkward silence predominated the area for a few moments.
"."
"."
Eventually, Huang Yu tried to dispel the silence. However, unlike his usual brilliant choice of words, he goofed up this time.
"Don't worry. I didn't feel anything."
If it was possible, Gu Yue's face seemed to glow even redder. However, it was unknown whether it was from anger or from embarrassment.
Gu Yue finally gritted out, "HUANG YU!"
