Chapter 211 First Encounter with Electrolux.
This was a gigantic humanoid metal body, standing a full fifteen meters tall. Its massive form was entirely cast from metal, appearing somewhat rudimentary, but the overall structure was complete.
Besides visually inspecting it, Wu Xuan also scanned the mecha with his mental energy. This scan had a profound impact; the next instant, a vast amount of information flooded his mind, leaving Wu Xuan slightly disoriented.
He discovered thousands of core magic arrays on this gigantic metal figure. Moreover, the precision of these core arrays was something he had never heard of in his Shrek Academy Soul Instructor courses. Even more terrifying was the seemingly terrifying energy contained within this gigantic metal figure.
This… how was this made?
Overjoyed, Wu Xuan quickly took a few steps to the massive mecha. He touched it here, looked at it there, and only then did he truly grasp the sheer size of this metal figure.
He glanced up at the open section of the mecha's chest; that must be the control room. If he could pilot this mecha around Shrek Academy, he couldn't even imagine how cool he would look.
A cyan blade materialized at Wu Xuan's fingertips. Pointing at the mecha's lower leg, Wu Xuan slashed forcefully, sparks flying, and a shallow crack appeared on the surface. Considering how strong Wu Xuan's wind elemental annihilation attribute was—even his defensive Martial Soul True Body couldn't stop it—it was clear how strong the alloy used to create this metal man was.
"This must be the highest level of research from Mingde Hall. A mecha, quite an advanced idea." Wu Xuan nodded slightly. Just as Wu Xuan was about to use Endless Weathering to steal the mecha, his spiritual power detected something extraordinary.
Around the mecha were platforms at varying heights, clearly forged for its construction. Wu Xuan stood not far away on the lowest metal platform. This was the only platform still connected to the mecha.
With a flash, Wu Xuan appeared before the platform, and something that had just appeared in his mental energy came into view.
It was a piece larger than a palm, resembling a breastplate. Surrounded by silver-white decorations, it was beautifully engraved with the core magic array, but at its very center was a huge, convex lens-shaped gem. The gem itself was pale blue, with six shimmering star lines. Its strange brilliance was mesmerizing.
"A star sapphire? So big?" Wu Xuan was overjoyed.
A star sapphire is a magical gem containing immense energy. This gem contains mysterious spatial power. It is the best medium for creating spatial soul tools. If a piece the size of a fingernail were added to a storage soul tool, the storage capacity of that soul tool would immediately increase by more than one cubic meter. Wu Xuan's storage soul tool had a volume of nearly twenty cubic meters, making it a high-grade storage soul tool.
Starlight sapphires are inherently precious, mainly due to their limited production. However, because there aren't many particularly large pieces, their value is also limited.
A starlight sapphire as enormous as the one before him was something he had never even heard of, let alone seen! The moment Wu Xuan held the massive starlight sapphire, he immediately realized its potential use.
Holding the inlaid, enormous starlight sapphire, Wu Xuan lifted it along with the surrounding metal array. He circulated his soul power.
A siphon-like sensation instantly emanated from the enormous starlight sapphire in his hand. At the same time, a blue light seemed to ignite above the mecha's head, reflecting the dazzling light shimmering on the starlight sapphire.
A beam of blue light shot out from the starlight sapphire's brilliant surface, radiating outwards in mid-air. A corresponding light also emanated from the forehead of the giant metal figure. The two blue lights collided in the air, and the brilliant blue light instantly illuminated the entire massive laboratory.
As the light faded, Wu Xuan discovered that the giant metal figure had vanished.
"Quite a haul this time! Time to get out of here!" Wu Xuan hummed a tune as he put away the Starlight Sapphire and turned to leave.
Glancing at the unconscious Huo Yuhao, Wu Xuan coldly snorted and ignored him. He couldn't be bothered with the other man; he hadn't even settled accounts with the one who had just frightened him by imitating the aura of a powerful figure!
Just as Wu Xuan was about to leave Gate Number Two, a sudden, aged voice rang out from behind him. "Young friend, please wait!"
"Who!" Wu Xuan rolled away on the spot, scanning his surroundings warily. Their aura perception hadn't detected this person. At that moment, Wu Xuan felt his scalp tingle, and six terrifying soul rings—five black and one red—instantly appeared around him.
"Young friend, don't be nervous. This old man means no harm." Under Wu Xuan's incredulous gaze, Huo Yuhao, who had been unconscious on the ground, slowly stood up. However, to Wu Xuan's astonishment, Huo Yuhao's eyes were now filled with a deathly gray light!
"Such powerful strength!" Sensing the overwhelming aura of death, Wu Xuan's expression changed drastically.
Electrolux's figure slowly emerged before Wu Xuan. His golden robe was adorned with intricate patterns; his white hair and beard exuded a weathered, ancient, and profound aura.
"My name is Electrolux. You may call me Elder Electrolux. Young friend, you sense my power because our levels are different. Although I only have a fragment of divine consciousness in this world, it is still divine consciousness. Your realm, while not low, remains at the level of spiritual consciousness. Spirit and god are not the same realm," Electrolux said slowly.
"Are you Huo Yuhao's secret teacher?" Wu Xuan asked in surprise.
Electrolux smiled slightly, his aged face etched with wrinkles. "Right now, I am merely a fragment of a broken soul. Because of a small favor from this young man, I was given a chance to awaken from my slumber. Therefore, I have taken care of him a little. I am not yet worthy of the title of teacher."
"I see!" Wu Xuan's brows relaxed slightly.
"Haha, young friend, although you've changed your appearance, I still recognized you at first glance," Electrox said with a smile, looking at Wu Xuan.
"Senior's eyes are sharp," Wu Xuan chuckled, removing the level-seven soul tool from his face.
"To make a long story short, young friend, how about we make a deal? As a token of sincerity, I'll use my abilities to temporarily put the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo in your possession into a state of suspended animation, allowing you to successfully smuggle it out. What do you say?" Electrox looked at Wu Xuan with a hint of appreciation; the young man's talent truly impressed him.
