The Legend of the Dragon King

“Then what?” asked Tang Wulin curiously.

Wu Zhangkong spoke, “I can only tell you that you were lucky compared to Wu Siduo and the rest. The seniors expressed that the academy ended up like this because we didn’t do enough and we weren’t powerful enough. Thus, they’ll be even stricter with them during the special training.”

Even stricter? Tang Wulin shivered. This made him feel especially grateful to the Atlas Douluo. He was fortunate that the Atlas Douluo had already sent them to the Demon Island to receive military training. Otherwise, would it not be more terrifying now?

“Teacher Wu, I’m going to meet Elder Long now.”

“Hmm, go ahead. Do be careful when you’re heading to Star Luo and Dou Spirit.” Wu Zhangkong’s cold eyes had a faint hint of affection.

He was not only showing warm solitude to Tang Wulin as his disciple, but there was also the care of an elder brother. He watched as Tang Wulin grew step by step. The young man’s ability had already caught up to his own, so Wu Zhangkong was feeling very gratified in his heart.

In reality, he had not exerted his full strength when he had sparred with Tang Wulin. He intended his loss to boost Tang Wulin’s confidence. In turn, Tang Wulin did not disappoint, as his cultivation base had elevated rapidly after that. At this point, Wu Zhangkong was no longer certain that he could defeat Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin went deeper underground and used his special access card to enter the place where Elder Long was engaging in closed-door cultivation. He had just arrived when he heard a low and deep dragon’s roar.

Tang Wulin immediately felt like the Golden Dragon King Bloodline in his body was eager to take action.

Elder Long’s cultivation base was genuinely unfathomably deep!

“Wulin, is that you? Come in.” Tang Wulin heard Long Yeyue’s voice.

“Yes!”

Long Yeyue sat cross-legged on the rush cushion. When Tang Wulin arrived before he, he was astonished to see that Elder Long was only at the age of double digits. Her long black hair draped over her shoulders while the waves of dragon’s roars complemented her exceedingly beautiful face. It made him feel marvellous.

“Strange, isn’t it?” Long Yeyue looked at Tang Wulin with a smile on her face. She heaved a sigh softly. “In reality, I’ve already arrived at the stage where I can’t maintain my youth anymore because that would consume even more of my life force. Thus, you only see the Long Yeyue with wrinkled skin and white hair. It is only when I’m cultivating that my physical functions can be restored to my younger days because my soul power is triggered.”

Her voice carried faint sorrow but was also filled with reminiscence and longing for youth.

“Elder Long, you’re still young. There’s something at the Tang Sect’s Icefire Polarized Eyes that can be consumed to elevate life force. Why don’t we…” Tang Wulin began to suggest.

Long Yeyue shook her head. “I’ve visited the Icefire Polarized Eyes once when I was young. One must be content with one’s lot. Moreover, this is the arrangement between the academy and the Tang Sect. Even for those selected by the academy, they’re only allowed to visit the Icefire Polarized Eyes once in their lifetimes. No one is exempted, including me. This is the rule and rules must be abided by. Otherwise, the treasured land of the Icefire Polarized Eyes will pass out of existence because it had to support people from our Shrek Academy.”

Tang Wulin felt ashamed of himself. Speaking of which, he had taken almost all of the essence in the Icefire Polarized Eyes! The numerous beasts were all by his side.

One of the reasons that he had never panicked when he was fighting the Darkness Bell was that he still had the protection of those beasts in his body. He would unleash them if he really had no other choice. Every one of them was bestowed with a Title Douluo’s abilities, so the combination of all of them was at least enough to protect himself even if it was not enough to defeat Darkness Bell.

The problem would have been that their identities would be exposed in that case. Tang Wulin was afraid that he would immediately become the Holy Spirit Cult’s main target. Fortunately, Gu Yuena was there.

“Is there a reason you returned to see me? Have you encountered any difficulties? You’re not a person who shrinks in the face of difficulty. Thus, I’m curious as to why you have come back.” Long Yeyue looked at Tang Wulin calmly as she awaited his explanation.

Tang Wulin smiled bitterly. The Amorous Douluo had really left him with a huge burden!

“Elder Long, it’s this. We’ve encountered a little bit of trouble in Skysea City…” Thus, he elaborated on the rank-9 fixed soul ammunition’s explosion case on Skysea City’s joint fleet in simple terms.

Long Yeyue had been engaging in closed door cultivation all along to reduce the consumption of her life force so she could extend her longevity. She was largely unaware of the events in the outside world. On the other hand, people from the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy that stayed behind here were unaware that Tang Wulin and his group of comrades had left for Skysea City, so naturally, no one came forward to tell Long Yeyue about these events.

Tang Wulin intentionally observed Elder Long’s expression for a moment when he mentioned the Boundless Universe Chen Xinjie. As expected, there was a wisp of a change to Elder Long’s young visage. Even though it was very minute, but Tang Wulin still managed to capture it. As expected, the Amorous Douluo had not done this at random!

“Chen Xinjie! Humph! That stubborn old man.” The dragon’s roars in the room suddenly grew louder. Unseen dominance rippled with golden light over the surface of Tang Wulin’s body. It was the pride expressed by Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon King Bloodline aura on its own accord from sensing another Dragon Might.

Long Yeyue took a glance at Tang Wulin. “That blabbermouth Zang Xin must have said something, right?!”

Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment, but he still nodded with a bitter smile. There was nothing much he could do to cover up for the Amorous Douluo at this moment.

Long Yeyue gave out a cold grunt. “We truly should be tearing that tongue of his into shreds. You’ve returned to see me for this matter apparently because you know that I’m acquainted with that stubborn, old Chen Xinjie. Other than Zang Xin, none of the others that accompanied you is aware of the event that took place back then anymore. Is Zang Xin too cowardly to come over? I’ll never forgive him for raking up this stale matter of mine. Let’s go to Skysea City. Come.”

As she spoke, the Light Dark Douluo Long Yeyue stood up and walked toward the exit.

Tang Wulin had not expected that Elder Long would consent to this in such a forthright manner, so he was immediately feeling quite astonished. His gaze naturally followed Long Yeyue’s steps as she walked outward. As he followed, he saw the Light Dark Douluo’s head full of black hair gradually turn gray, then pure white like snow the further she walked.

Her back hunched and her aura felt worn. Tang Wulin could not help feeling a lump in his throat as he watched the scene.

Elder Long was still bustling about for Shrek at her age because his generation was still not powerful enough! Without realizing, he clenched his fists tightly as his heart was burning with a raging will to fight.

He would certainly prop up Shrek and the Tang Sect as soon as possible, so the seniors from the older generation would need not go through hardship anymore!

As Tang Wulin boarded the soul train once again, his heart had already completely lost the gloominess he felt when he was coming over. With Elder Long’s presence, there was nothing he had to fear even if the most awesome powerhouse showed up.

Both he and Elder Long put on simple makeup. Long Yeyue helped to examine his body and found traces of the Darkness Bell’s soundwave imprint on his body as expected. Long Yeyue taught him a trick to his spiritual power so he could remove the imprint by himself. He could also use this technique to remedy such matters if he were to encounter them again in the future.

Long Yeyue spent the entire journey resting her spirit with closed eyes. Her aura appeared to be extremely calm yet Tang Wulin could clearly sense that her aura was too steady.

In order to meet the Boundless Sea Douluo, he was afraid that Elder Long was also feeling…

Tang Wulin had not recounted the love story between these two Limit Douluos that the Amorous Douluo had narrated to him. It was still better for him not to talk too much at this moment. On the other hand, he believed that Elder Long certainly had her own feelings about this situation as well.

Since Elder Long chose to head toward Skysea City with him, it showed that she was certainly feeling quite confident. It was also the situation that Tang Wulin wished to see happen too.

At this point, he was expecting only a good result. There was no doubt that Elder Long did not wish to see Chen Xinjie, but she was doing so because of the current situation on the continent. She did what she had to because she did not wish to see the war break out, and for the future of Shrek, she compromised out of consideration for the greater good and headed to the Eastsea Fleet personally.
