The Legend of the Dragon King

At the thought of this, Qiangu Dongfeng could not help lamenting that his son was not around to see it. That would have been wonderful, but Qiangu Zhangting’s father died during an expedition into a small plane. The entire plane collapsed at the time, and no matter how powerful Qiangu Dongfeng was, he could not save his son from that. Qiangu Dongfeng’s mother committed suicide after his father’s death, leaving behind their only child, Qiangu Zhangting.

This had always been Qiangu Dongfeng’s biggest regret, and it had strengthened his determination in searching for that world. It was only by climbing the ranks that he would be able to take control of his destiny and never have to watch helplessly as his family walked toward their own doom. For this, he would stop at nothing, regardless of how high the stakes were or the things and people he had to sacrifice.

Gu Yuena walked out of the main platform. Just as she was about to head back to her quarters, she sensed something. She frowned ever so slightly and raised her hand subconsciously to her chest.

She could clearly feel the Two Great Powerhouses.

‘He is in danger!’

…

The massive form floated in the air and slowly landed by the shore. Green-blue phantom shrank and its massive hundred-meter-long silhouette transformed into a grown man.

He was tall, burly and vigilant with a head full of long green-blue hair. He exuded a solemn aura, but his brows were furrowed. He held Tang Wulin and Lan Fozi in each of his hands.

The hundred-meter-tall Titan Giant Ape was also shrinking rapidly and transformed into a man with an iron pagoda-like countenance. He was frowning ever so slightly. “I can’t be mistaken, can I? Why is the golden trident on this boy?”

The man with the long green-blue hair was also frowning. “I don’t know. The aura on this boy here is extremely chaotic. He has a Dragon Clan aura of the highest order, and it has a certain suppressive effect on our bloodline. I’m not considered a member of the Dragon Clan, so the effect isn’t as strong on me. Even so, his class is extraordinary.” As he spoke, he placed Tang Wulin and Lan Fozi on the ground. He then squatted down and began patting Tang Wulin’s body, infusing him with green-blue radiance in order to feel the corresponding feedback.”

“The boy’s physical capabilities are definitely superhuman. He acted as if nothing happened to him and continued to fight even after being lashed by your tail. Just by judging his physical body, he is at least on par with us. He is truly a little monster,” said the iron pagoda-like man while chuckling.

“That golden trident has a very weak aura. It is clearly inferior to the one used by Tang San back in those days, but it is genuinely the aura of the Sea God’s Trident.” The long-haired man spoke in a deep voice, “Judging by his physical condition, he has exceedingly vigorous blood essence, beyond that of a human. On the contrary, it is quite similar to us soul beasts. His dragon-type aura is extremely strong and pure. Moreover, there seems to be an extremely wild aura fluctuation inside his body. It even made me feel a little fearful. Strange. It’s truly very strange!”

“Ever since the Divine Realm vanished mysteriously, we lost contact with Tang San. Do you think that this is the seed he left behind in man’s world? What a coincidence that we’ve encountered him. ” The iron pagoda-like man sighed.

The long-haired man spoke, “We shall find out by questioning the boy after waking him up.” As he spoke, he raised his hand and patted on Tang Wulin’s cheek. A gush of green-blue radiance surged into the top of Tang Wulin’s head.

Tang Wulin’s body shook and he began to regain consciousness.

He struggled free from the darkness and came to. When Tang Wulin opened his eyes, he saw the two tall and burly middle-aged men standing before him. He would have instinctively leapt to his feet, but he discovered that his entire body seemed to be frozen and there was no way he could move even slightly.

“Who are you?” Tang Wulin glaring at the two men boldly.

The iron pagoda-like man chuckled. “Boy, haven’t you had enough fighting already? If you wish to live, behave yourself and answer our questions properly.”

Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment. Words escaped his mouth, “Are you the Azure Oxpython and the Titan Giant Ape?”

He was already accustomed to seeing powerful soul beasts that could transform into humans in the Great Star Dou Forest’s core region. Moreover, the Damask Tulip could do it as well.

He discovered that he had not died! This signified that he still had a chance to escape, but he could not figure out why the force left inside his body by his father had not been triggered when he was obviously in danger.

However, he tossed away those thoughts as soon as they emerged in his mind. Since when did he rely on others to save him? It was because he was still not powerful enough!

After his encounter with the Underworld King Ha Luosa, he then encountered the Beast God Di Tian and these two creatures before himself. It could be said that he had been defeated continuously. Had it not been for the training on the Demon Island that gave him unstoppable willpower all those years ago, Tang Wulin was afraid that he would have already become dispirited.

“Heh-heh, impressive that you could tell! However, you realise that you won’t be leaving this place alive after recognizing us,” said the iron pagoda-like man while sniggering.

Tang Wulin had already calmed down by this point. “If you wished to kill me, I’d already be dead by now. You woke me up, so there must be something you want me to tell you. Please ask it then.”

The green-blue Oxpython spoke in astonishment, “You’re rather cooperative, aren’t you, boy?!”

Tang Wulin spoke indifferently, “Why shouldn’t I be cooperative? Being cooperative means that I still have a chance to live. Won’t I get myself killed if I try to forcefully resist? Moreover, there’s nothing about me that’s worth keeping secret from the likes of you. You’re soul beasts and I’m a human being. Our secrets have never been significant to all of you.”

The Azure Oxpython chuckled. “Very well. I enjoy chatting with intelligent people the most. I can save my strength this way. Then we shall start with you telling us your name and origin.”

Tang Wulin spoke, “My name is Tang Wulin. I come from Shrek Academy, but I belong to the Tang Sect too.”

“Tang Wulin?” The Azure Oxpython and the Titan Giant Ape exchanged glances upon hearing the name.

“What are the three words that make up your name?” asked the Titan Giant Ape slightly anxiously.

Tang Wulin felt an idea arose in his mind. He answered instinctively, “The word ‘Tang’ comes from Tang San, the word ‘Wu’ is translated to dance and the word ‘lin’ comes from Qilin.”

Titan Giant Ape spoke, “Do you know about Tang San and Xiaowu?”

Tang Wulin spoke plainly without any change in expression, “Who doesn’t know about Tang San and Xiaowu on this continent? Moreover, Tang San is also our Tang Sect’s founder. He founded the Tang Sect and he is a legend for humanity.”

The Azure Oxpython spoke, “What is your relationship to him?”

Tang Wulin hesitated for a moment. He did not speak frankly this time, but instead, he relied on his judgement to make some bold predictions regarding the identity of these two people before him. If his guesses were correct, then, he was not in any danger.

Just as he was about to speak, the entire space warped suddenly ever so slightly as if there was an earthquake.

In unison, the Azure Oxpython and the Titan Giant Ape raised their heads to look toward the sky.

A stream of warped radiance descended from the sky. A deep, thunderous voice filled the entire space. “I’m going to take this man away.”

At the sound of the voice, a rift rippled through the sky. A gigantic silver claw appeared out of thin air and grabbed at the ground below.

In a split second, streams of silver light appeared around Tang Wulin’s body and enshrouded him.

“No!” The Azure Oxpython shouted. His body swayed and he was midair almost instantly. A giant green-blue claw appeared out of thin air and collided with the silver claw.

The entire area shook violently. A seven-colored radiance rippled away from the surface of the silver claw. Even though the green-blue claw was equipped with a penetrating force, it was still overwhelmed by the silver claw to the point that there was nothing it could do. The green-blue radiance was gradually shattered.

“Hey!” A muffled grunt was heard. The Titan Giant Ape swelled up in the wind and transformed into its original body once again. It threw a punch at the air. It was the same attack that rendered Tang Wulin completely helpless earlier.
