The Legend of the Dragon King

In Shrek Academy, everyone had been cultivating on their own. Xu Mi’er had her own research interests and rarely had contact with the others. Over here, she was a teacher. Naturally, she had to interact with many people in her job. Her beauty, strict teaching style, and powerful combat strength endeared her to the faculty and students. Within a short time, she had adapted to the lifestyle at the Monster Academy.

When it was a fight with mechas of the same rank, virtually no one could defeat this female teacher known as the Guns. She was a tough fighter. Also, she was skilled in building her own mecha and various mecha weapons. She helped just about anyone who came to seek her assistance. Her friendly and cheerful personality was the opposite of Long Yue’s taciturn nature. In a sense, she made up for what Long Yue lacked.

Long Yue had the best reputation in the academy. However, in terms of popularity among the faculty members and students, Xu Mi’er was not far behind.

Because of Xu Mi’er’s selflessness and benevolence, Long Yue revered and loved his wife. Although they were not legally married, they respected each other as spouses.

Xu Mi’er’s charm lay in her candid demeanor which made Long Yue fall for her. When she suddenly turned gentle at the table, although he was unaccustomed to it, it excited him terribly. He felt an itch in his heart.

“I’ll drink them for you,” he agreed to it without hesitating.

Xu Mi’er went to the toilet with a smile on her face.

Long Yue drank the three cups in one go. Even though he could not negate the effects of alcohol with his soul power, the amount of rice wine which he consumed hardly had any effect on him.

“Brother Teng Teng.” At this moment, a playful voice was heard.

Teng Teng was laughing at the Dragon King just moments before. He suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body. He looked at the little witch nearby with fear.

Dai Yun’er ogled him. “Brother Teng Teng, I want to go to the toilet as well.”

“Go on then. We’re not on the same side!” Teng Teng did not give in that easily.

Dai Yun’er looked at him. Her beautiful eyes were moist with tears. “Brother Teng Teng, I always thought you were fond of me. Could you bear to see me drink three big cups of wine? With my tummy bulging from all this drinking, I look hideous. You, on the other hand, are handsome, elegant, admirable, and unconventional. Even when you pushed me over to Shrek Academy, I didn’t even complain…”

“I’ll drink.” Teng Teng decided to cut Dai Yun’er short. If he had allowed her to go on, he might even be charged for treason.

“Hahahaha!” The others broke out in laughter. The antics of Xu Mi’er and Dai Yun’er brought them closer together. For a time, they drank without restraint. The awkwardness was gone. The more they drank, the closer their relationship became. Drinking certainly had a magical effect on people.

Xie Xie nudged Yuanen Yehui who was beside him lightly. “My dear, if you pleaded with me, I’ll drink on your behalf as many times as you wish to use the toilet.”

Yuanen Yehui turned to look at him. Perhaps it was the wine’s effect, but she seemed even more beautiful now. An alluring smile appeared on her face. Xie Xie felt warm all over and his throat turned dry.

“Scram!”

“Hahahaha!” Another round of laughter broke out.

Under these circumstances, no one remembered their initial bets. They drank like there was no tomorrow. No one kept tabs on the wine drunk. Cups and trays were scattered all over the table.

Xie Xie and Teng Teng, the two Agility System Battle soul masters who did not see eye-to-eye earlier were now hugging and acknowledging each other as brothers. Xu Mi’er and Xu Xiaoyan were sobbing at the side as they reminisced about Shrek Academy over some wine.

There were moments when one needed to vent one’s frustrations when one was under great stress. It was equally true for the Shrek Seven Monsters and the members of the Heavenly Kings Clan.

Even Yuanen Yehui and Ye Xinglan who were usually sober felt tipsy today.

Despite their conditions, they made it back safely to the Tang Sect’s headquarters.

If a winner were to be declared, the Shrek Seven Monsters would be favored. It turned out the person who drank the most was not the Dragon King who had the biggest body, but Xu Lizhi who drank non-stop but managed to keep a low profile.

Xu Lizhi’s stomach was like a bottomless pit. Even when Long Yue was stumbling toward the end, Xu Lizhi was still sober.

Before they parted ways, the intoxicated Teng Teng was mumbling about never to compete with a food type soul master in drinking.

The most outstanding personalities of the Tang Sect’s new generation had spent a night getting drunk .

The publicity for the Battle of Five Gods had grown to the point where every household on the Star Luo Continent knew about it. This time around, the matches would be different from the matches in other competitions.

Most competitions had a limit. Some had age limits, while others had limits on the participants’ cultivation bases. This was to ensure that the competition was fair. In this way, the experts would be better trained.

On the other hand, the Battle of Five Gods was different. It was a match without limits. It would be a public match where the participants would be the most highly skilled experts.

Details of Tang Wulin was getting known by increasing numbers of the public. The more they learned, the more startled they were. How could a powerful sect such as the Tang Sect pick a young man in his twenties to be the Sect Master? How would such a young man fare in the Battle of Five Gods?

Was it really necessary for the empire to raise a furore to publicize such a competition? If the empire brought out their true experts, then it would be a match in which the outcome was already decided. Why would the empire put in so much effort for this event?

Could it be that the Tang Sect’s Sect Master was inciting the public? Was he overconfident?

For a time, rumors circulated the streets. Undoubtedly, the public’s anticipation of the competition was on the rise.

Tang Wulin was oblivious to the happenings outside. He was instead immersed in some bizarre surroundings.

Each time the pressure in the world outside intensified, he entered into a self-regulating state. In this instance, he improved the most.

Naturally, the assumption was that the pressure did not originate from his spirit.

Although he lost some affection for his foster parents when they were taken away by his biological father, he gained something else instead. At the very least, a worrisome knot in his heart was undone. With Na’er’s explanation, he finally understood why Gu Yue and Na’er acted weirdly around each other. He also understood the appearance of Gu Yuena.

Although Na’er did not mention how they were able to split to become two persons, still it seemed peculiar whenever he thought about it. Nevertheless, he had gotten an explanation. The pressure on his spirit lessened. On the other hand, Tang Wulin, who functioned well under pressure ever since he was a kid, was motivated by the pressure from other aspects.

At the beginning of his cultivation, he chose to continue cultivating the Body Sect’s Innate Secret Technique. Soon, he entered into a deep meditation state. Naturally, the Body Sect’s Innate Secret Technique’s cultivation stopped. Nonetheless, he was unsure of his current meditative state.

He felt like a sphere. The sphere’s surface was coarse and was made up of many components which were his various abilities.

When he commenced his deep meditation, the sphere began to rotate. During its rotation, the surface which was initially coarse slowly began to change. It soon turned into a smooth sphere.

It felt as if everything was becoming one.
