The Legend of the Dragon King

Qiangu Zhangting’s breathing was heavy and rapid. He did not know about the relationship between Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena as described by Tang Wulin. However, he could see tears streaming down Gu Yuena’s face earlier. Why would she cry if there was no love between them? At this moment, he felt as if there was a monster tearing apart his internal organs. It was a burning pain which pierced his heart.

Qiangu Dongfeng had one hand on Qiangu Zhangting while he dispatched his orders one after another. Half of the high-ranking officers from the Federation on the main platform had already left unbeknownst to the people.

Undoubtedly, this was no longer a Joust For A Spouse Festival but a collision between the Tang Sect and the Spirit Pagoda!

Tang Wulin looked at the person before him who he had been yearning for day and night. He felt like he was in a trance. ‘Do I have to defeat her?’

He could not help recollecting how he became acquainted with her back in the beginning. He and she had been studying together in Shrek Academy for many years. In fact, they had never really fought against one another. She had always been on his side whether they were engaged in a spar or some other activity. They had always fought against the others together. Most of the time, it was the same for the internal spars too.

Tang Wulin imagined the different outcomes in today’s situation. He had given much thought to coercing Gu Yuena into returning to his side and also expressing her heartfelt feelings.

He had considered the possibility of being rejected by Gu Yuena. In fact, he thought about taking her away even if it meant that he had to kidnap her. Of all things, he never expected Gu Yuena to challenge him at this moment.

Gu Yuena did not look at Tang Wulin. Instead, her gaze swept past the Shrek Six Monsters, Lan Fozi, A Ruheng, and Sima Jinchi. “Can you please wait below the stage? Thank you.”

Lan Fozi looked at Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena with a complicated gaze. For reasons unknown, she was suddenly struck with a feeling that they would be a true match if they were to be together.

The Shrek Six Monsters and the rest of the people fixed their gaze upon Tang Wulin and waited for his order.

Tang Wulin took a deep breath and nodded toward them.

The group descended the stage leaving behind the expansive competition stage for them both.

Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena gazed into each other’s eyes. Both of them could see the complicated look in the eyes of the other. They had never truly fought against one another. Tang Wulin had always known Gu Yuena’s power, yet he had not heard from her since she left Shrek Academy back in the beginning. He realized that he had no idea of the level she was at now. He had undergone many experiences in life which allowed him to grow. How about her? What sort of encounters did she have under the Spirit Pagoda’s cultivation?

“Are you really going to fight against me?” Tang Wulin looked at Gu Yuena. His heart was filled with incredulity until this very moment.

Gu Yuena had regained her usual calmness. There was barely any change to her expression. “This is bound by the rules. Could it be that my future lover is not supposed to be more powerful than I am?”

Tang Wulin took a deep breath. “Are you going to leave with me if I can defeat you? Are you going to be my wife then?”

When he asked the question, his voice was filled with profound love and emotion that could only be felt by Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena paused for a moment, then she took a deep breath. “Yes.”

“Alright!” Tang Wulin clenched his fists tightly. “I’ve made up my mind before I came to participate in the final round of today’s festival that I’ll take you with me even if I’ve to abduct you. I’ll never allow you to leave me anymore. I’ll surely win.”

Gu Yuena shook her head. “You won’t win.”

Tang Wulin spoke in rage, “So, you really don’t want to leave with me, huh?”

Gu Yuena looked at him but she did not speak. Her golden dress fluttered although the wind was not blowing. In Tang Wulin’s spiritual world, all the energy elements in the air suddenly turned dense. It was so dense that it was almost sticky.

Subsequently, the protective shield arose. The audience had calmed down a little at present. Who would have thought that the festival would end up with such a convoluted outcome? No one expected the final result to be such after the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy made their presentation.

Yu Longyue was actually the Tang Sect’s Sect Master Tang Wulin who shocked the entire Star Luo Empire. He was the Sect Master who was so young while Gu Yuena was the Spirit Pagoda’s spiriter.

Apparently, they had known each other since earlier. Hence, Tang Wulin came here with the sole purpose of taking Gu Yuena with him. Yet, it turned out that Gu Yuena was not willing to leave judging from the present situation.

The current scenario was more sensational than a drama’s story plot. While the two remained the protagonists of the festival, the Joust For A Spouse Festival was nearing its end. They truly deserved the honor, yet were they going to let the competition decide the victor and the loser?

Tang Wulin’s eyes gradually turned a golden color. There was no need for him to conceal his identity anymore. The shackles which bound his body vanished soon after. In this fight against Gu Yuena, he was allowed to express his most powerful abilities.

Nevertheless, he was reluctant to fight in this battle. How could he bear to fight against her? Had it not been because she consented to leave with him if he won, Tang Wulin would never lay a hand on Gu Yuena.

Both of them stood gazing at each other at a close distance. Neither one launched an attack.

“We shall begin,” said Gu Yuena.

Tang Wulin nodded.

It was Mingdu City after all. The Tang Sect was declared as a treasonous organization. It was apparent that the more he procrastinated, the more unfavorable it would be for him as the Sect Master.

Gu Yuena raised her right hand slowly toward Tang Wulin. Tang Wulin confronted her calmly as he looked at her with a deep gaze.

Meanwhile, a blue, red, yellow, and green-colored radiance surged in abruptly from all directions to surround Gu Yuena. The radiance gathered to form a vortex in front of her right hand.

It was a combination of the four elements: water, fire, earth, and wind!

When he saw her elemental control once again, Tang Wulin felt an intense familiarity in his heart. In fact, there were even some Thought Concretization light shadows of him meeting Gu Yuena for the first time which emerged spontaneously around him.

Soon after, an immense repulsive force blasted forth from the four-colored radiance. It transformed into a four-colored light orb which reached Tang Wulin in an instant.

Tang Wulin raised his head ever so slightly and looked at Gu Yuena with a calm gaze. At this very moment, his gaze suddenly turned gentle. He felt his heart skip a beat upon seeing Gu Yuena. He almost lost control of his mind.

In the next moment, the four-colored light orb crashed ferociously into Tang Wulin’s chest. The radiance which was dazzling and mesmerizing possessed a terrifying explosive force. Tang Wulin’s body was blasted away akin to a cannonball whose speed was faster than the audience could change their gaze. He slammed into the protective shield in the distance with a loud booming noise.

Such was the power of the Silver Dragon Princess’ strike.

The audience screamed out in surprise immediately.

Gu Yuena was herself stunned. She sensed that Tang Wulin had not only refused to launch a counterattack but did not even resist. He did not raise his arms but used his chest to withstand her strike instead.

When the intense impact gradually dissipated, Tang Wulin slid down the protective shield and landed on the ground.

He appeared to be slightly pale. The clothes on his upper body had all vanished in the energy storm to reveal his perfectly toned upper body.

He walked toward Gu Yuena a step at a time as if it was not him who had just endured the crushing blow. “If it were left to me, I’ll not return the attack for eternity. I’ll allow you to keep attacking me until you’re satisfied, until you can’t bear it anymore, until you’re willing to leave with me. Otherwise, you can strike me till I’m dead.”

“However, I’ve to retaliate. I’m the Tang Sect’s Sect Master, and my comrades and Shrek are waiting for my return. Thus, I’ve no choice but to defeat you. I’ll then leave with you. Gu Yue, be careful.”

As he was speaking, pieces of dazzling golden scales emerged on the surface of his skin to cover his entire body. His arms became thicker and tougher too. His whole body had grown larger. With the unleashing of the Golden Dragon Body, a tyrannical blood essence fluctuation burst forth from his body.

It was the Golden Dragon King’s bloodline aura and also the expulsion of the Body Sect’s Innate Secret Technique. No other person in the soul masters’ world could compare to the exuberance of Tang Wulin’s blood essence.

This was precisely Tang Wulin, the truly powerful Tang Wulin.

He advanced step by step as his aura elevated gradually. His right hand grabbed at thin air to conjure the Golden Dragon Spear in his palm. He had a peaceful expression on his face as he seemingly entered into combat mode.

Gu Yuena took a deep breath and nodded toward Tang Wulin. Her charming figure began to turn long and slim. A silver staff appeared in her grasp. The four-colored radiance which surrounded her body began to turn into seven colors. Apart from water, fire, earth, and wind, the other three great elements of light, darkness, and space were condensed as well.

A silver radiance bloomed from the core of the seven-colored radiance. A pair of enormous silver dragon wings spread out behind Gu Yuena’s back. Her pair of bright eyes was akin to the stars. Her long hair fluttered in the wind while her gaze was deep.
