The Legend of the Dragon King

“The reason I underestimated Lizhi was because I knew that even if he had newfound abilities, it would be related to some kind of destructive power. I, on the other hand, have the ability to resist the destructive power. I’d intentionally revealed the flaw to incite your outbursts. In reality, all of you can’t possibly win from the very beginning. However, I never expected any of you to be capable of compelling me to do this.”

When he collaborated with the Gale Saber Demon Sima Jinchi, the Shrek Six Monsters could not possibly win. Sima Jinchi’s ninth soul skill allowed him to transform into the real Dragon Clan’s power saber to reveal his strength.

Even though he was only capable of displaying a small portion of the effect produced by the Dragon Clan’s power saber, it was more than enough to deal with the six monsters.

Tang Wulin’s trump card was truly powerful such that he could immediately end the battle regardless of when he chose to play the trump card.

This was the disparity between the two sides. The Shrek Six Monsters never stood a chance from the very beginning.

Yue Zhengyu spoke with a furious expression, “This is truly a case of ‘when someone reaches a certain level of success, he or she will face even greater challenges’. We refuse to accept this as the final result! Why don’t you fight alone against the six of us if you can?”

“Where’s your shame?” Tang Wulin darted him a look of contempt, but his smiling eyes gave him away.

His comrades’ growth was faster than he had ever imagined. Moreover, he believed everyone was still holding back slightly during the battle earlier.

The six monsters were reserving their energies to fight A Ruheng and Sima Jinchi later. Just like how Yue Zhengyu had yet to launch his Holy Fusion Skill, Tang Wulin believed that Ye Xinglan and Yuanen Yehui had their hidden techniques too.

Anyway, Tang Wulin was most surprised at Xu Xiaoyan’s growth. She displayed her control ability to perfection.

If not for his defense that comprised of the Dragon Air, the Domineering Golden Dragon Body, and the Golden Dragon Body, A Ruheng and Sima Jinchi who were both Title Douluos would have difficulty holding back the six monsters. In spite of A Ruheng’s shocking defense, one outburst from the six monsters under Xiaoyan’s control could possibly finish off one or even two of Tang Wulin’s team members.

After all, it was just a sparring session. No one would possibly hurt the others for real. As it was, the result of the competition would have been difficult to predict. Unless Tang Wulin used an indomitable technique like the Dragon Clan’s power saber as soon as he made the first move, it would have been difficult for the three of them to defeat the six monsters.

No one was happier than Tang Wulin who learned about the exceptional growth of his comrades. There was only excitement in his heart at present.

Long Yeyue looked toward Tang Wulin with a peculiar gaze before she nodded in secret.

Initially, she had planned to join Tang Wulin on the trip to the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Spirit Empire. Now, however, she decided to allow these eyes to spread their wings and soar in the skies after witnessing the battle earlier.

When would their wings harden if they remained in the protection of her feathered wings?

On the other hand, it was still difficult to tell the extent of their abilities after they became three-word battle armor masters with their elevated cultivation bases.

Just like today, Tang Wulin’s fight against the six monsters would have been easier if he was cladded in his two-word battle armor.

Just as Yue Zhengyu said, “When someone reaches a certain level of success, he or she will face even greater challenges.” In the end, the victory belonged to Tang Wulin judging by his abilities and state of mind. His reputation as the leader of the Shrek Seven Monsters was not without its merits.

She would like to see how long it would take him to catch up to the ranks of the previous generations of the Sea God’s Pavilion Masters. By then, she would finally be able to take a breather.

Long Yeyue was actually surprised to detect a wisp of aura vaguely when Tang Wulin used the Dragon Clan’s power weapon. It seemed helpful in triggering her advancement to the rank of Godhood.

As a demigod, although she could not detect the Divine Realm at present, any minor elevation would allow her to live much longer beyond her present life.

Both A Ruheng and Sima Jinchi arrived at Tang Wulin’s side. As they looked at Tang Wulin’s comrades, they were in awe of these youths.

They could not help gasping in admiration for the younger generation had surpassed the older! They did a self-assessment and concluded that they did not have such abilities when they were at the age of the current Shrek Seven Monsters.

Both of them were especially interested in Xu Xiaoyan because they were scurrying around to avoid being controlled by Xu Xiaoyan. Even with her battle armor’s amplification, Xu Xiaoyan was still a Soul Sage after all and had not acquired her eighth and ninth soul skill. They had felt incapable of withstanding her control. The Shrek Seven Monsters had a fighting capacity that defied the heavens with such a core control-type soul master on their side. Any Title Douluo would need to seriously consider the consequences before engaging them in a fight.

Their battle armors had managed to reduce the disparity between themselves and the high-ranking soul masters. A Ruheng and Sima Jinchi could not imagine the extent of the outbursts of these seven people when they achieved the rank of a Title Douluo.

The Shrek Academy that seemed impossible to rebuild initially now stood a chance with the existence of this group especially with Elder Long assuming command in person!

“I’m going back to cultivate,” said Ye Xinglan who was in a morose mood before she turned around and left.

Xu Lizhi remained smiling in a good-natured manner. Yet, he turned around to follow Ye Xinglan without the slightest hesitation.

Xie Xie spoke with a sad and angered look, “Actually, I’ve yet to display my full abilities today. Big brother, I don’t mean to tell you this. If not because we were worried that we might accidentally hurt you, it’s possible that you may not have won! My Time-space Dragon is very impressive, you see.”

Tang Wulin could not help laughing. “So, shall we have a one-on-one then?”

“No! Yuanen, let’s go cultivate.” He took Yuanen Yehui’s hand as he spoke.

Yuanen Yehui glared at him but did not attempt to struggle free.

Xu Xiaoyan was helped up from the ground by Yue Zhengyu. “Big brother, we’re leaving too. We shall work hard to catch up to you. So, you better work hard too. Oh right, when are you going to forge my three-word battle armor? Why don’t we fight three against six the next time? All six of us will wear battle armors but not the three of you. How about it?”

“Let’s go quick!”

Tang Wulin watched as his comrades left in succession to contemplate on today’s battle. At the same time he felt warm and fuzzy in his heart, he felt a little lost too.

All of them had their lovers. What about himself? Where was his lover?

Today’s battle carried immense significance for the Shrek Seven Monsters. Most importantly, they understood clearly their comrades’ level of elevation after the battle.

If not for his terrifying martial soul fusion skill known as the Dragon Clan’s Power Saber, Tang Wulin’s team might not have been able to defeat the Shrek Six Monsters.

Furthermore, the Shrek Six Monsters’ cooperation was lacking as a result of the compatibility in their newfound skills.

The critical issue with poor cooperation was reflected in the assault-type soul masters. Yuanen Yehui, Ye Xinglan, and Yue Zhengyu’s attacking abilities and ranges were raised correspondingly with the elevation of their cultivation bases. Consequently, mutual interference was inevitable during the attacks. Tang Wulin stood to gain when his comrades’ attacks interfered with one another.

In order to prevent the occurrence of this problem, they had no choice but to take turns in launching their attacks during the battle. Although their attacks were still powerful akin to a gale and storm, they could not take advantage of their overlapping dominance.

Otherwise, Tang Wulin would not be able to withstand for such a long time in the battle of one against three.

On the other hand, Tang Wulin was amazed at Xu Xiaoyan and Xu Lizhi too.

Xu Xiaoyan’s control ability was exemplary such that A Ruheng and Sima Jinchi were scuttling to avoid being controlled by her. She had not displayed her true fighting capacity during the second round of the battle. Otherwise, Tang Wulin’s group of three would not be in such advantageous positions.

Xu Lizhi surprised Tang Wulin as well. The utilization of his destructive power with the bamboo steamer martial soul avatar was rather comedic but was, in reality, filled with power. The food-type soul master actually managed to stop two great powerhouses in a short time to create opportunities for his fellow comrades.

Those purple-black Explosive Destruction Buns of his could be described as innovative. They were just like bombs but with extraordinary effects.

Had Tang Wulin been without his Life Seed’s support, he would have lost his fighting capacity after being slapped by Xu Lizhi.

Fortunately, they were comrades. Xu Lizhi did not exert his full force when he struck Tang Wulin.

Afterward, Tang Wulin pondered over the changes in Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi. He came to realize they had consumed the Star Luo Holy Pearl and the Origin Energy Immortal Grass when they were in the Icefire Polarized Eyes. Those were top-grade heaven and earth treasures. It was not only effective at elevating their soul powers but also caused major transformations to their foundations and martial souls!

While Tang Wulin was startled at his comrades’ abilities, his comrades were equally overwhelmed by his current abilities.

His Blood Soul Fusion Skill enabled him to resist everyone’s attacks without being cladded in battle armor. It also enhanced his control over the battle situation together with his powerful attack and defense abilities, the Dragon Might and the Dragon Air. He was fighting against six people by himself most of the time. It truly shocked the six monsters so much so they referred to him as a monster.
