The Legend of the Dragon King

Even though the Titan Giant Ape Clan was extremely powerful, they were not rich. They did not have any special methods that could be used to bring in a regular income, so they could only rely on continuous accumulation.

In modern society, the status and influence of the soul masters were no longer as great as they had been in ancient times. Soul technology had solved the vast majority of problems while mechas were not exclusive to soul masters anymore. Ordinary people could also become mecha masters with the proper training.

Moreover, the Titan Giant Ape’s lineage firmly stood by their honor and refused to be used by others. As a result, the clan was not wealthy.

Even though the clan had cultivated clansmen with various sub-professions, the thought of cultivating a Saint Craftsman had not occurred to them.

Even the current head of the clan, the Limit Douluo Yuanen Zhentian, only had a suit of three-word battle armor. Moreover, he was too embarrassed to unleash his armor because its domain only had a diameter of ten meters. It was very much inferior to those of the two young people before him.

As for the rest of the clan, only the brothers Yuanen Tiandang and Yuane Tianshang possessed suits of three-word battle armor, both of which were of lower quality than their father’s. No other clan members possessed even three-word battle armor.

“Cough, cough. Tang Sect Master, if what you said is true then I’m willing to accept the offer and head to the academy. After all, there’s nothing much for me to do in the clan. It’s a great endeavor to teach and educate students!”

An old man that was both tall and very muscular came walking over. Judging by his appearance, he was of the same age as Yuanen Zhentian. However, he appeared to be in good health and active.

He walked to Yuanen Zhentian’s side. “Eldest brother, I don’t have much to do in our clan either. Please let me go. I would really like to find out how it feels to have three-word battle armor. Moreover, there’s no shame in becoming a teacher at Shrek, right?”

“Third brother,” Yuanen Zhentian spoke with a bitter smile, “It’s my fault for being an incompetent clan elder!”

Yuanen Tianshang was about to speak after hearing his third uncle’s words, but Yuanen Zhentian kept him quiet with a raise of his hand.

Yuanen Zhentian looked toward Tang Wulin with a burning gaze. “I believe that Shrek Academy holds the secret to creating three-word battle armor, but in regards to four-word armor, how are you going to explain that, Tang Sect Master?”

In his perception earlier, he was seeing Tang Wulin as a junior even more. However, he realized that he could not continue treating him that way after listening to his words. This young man was the Tang Sect’s Sect Master and the leader of Shrek Academy!

Tang Wulin said, “I’ll surely be able to do what I promise. You don’t need to worry about that, Senior.”

Yuanen Zhentian spoke with uncertainty, “I don’t doubt the relationship between Shrek Academy and the Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua. It’s only that we heard that the Divine Craftsman has recently taken ill. Will he still be able to forge a complete suit of four-word battle armor? Moreover, we will certainly not be the only ones looking to make four-word armor. Frankly, we don’t even qualify to be in line given our lack of resources.”

He had made his intentions very clear. Put simply, they did not have the requirements for making such armor, but even if they did, how would it be possible?

Xie Xie scratched his head and smiled in an attempt to make himself appear cool to the best of his abilities. “There’s more than just one Divine Craftsman on the Douluo Continent.”

Yuanen Yehui was not used to seeing him being so pretentious, so she hastily pinched him. However, Xie Xie’s words had managed to give quite a shock to the group from the Titan Giant Ape Clan.

Without waiting for Yuanen Zhentian to inquire further, Tang Wulin said, “The Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua is my uncle master. After learning from my teacher, uncle master and another teacher from Shrek Academy known as His Excellency the Blazing Dragon Douluo for many years, I’m also capable of performing Heavenly Refinement with some effort.”

He did not feign anything as Xie Xie had done and he spoke in a calm manner. However, everyone on the scene was greatly astonished as soon as they heard what he had said.

Yuanen Tianshang could not help saying, “Could it be that the four-word battle armor model that you the gifted Silver Dragon Princess during the Joust For A Spouse Festival didn’t come from the Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua, but…”

Tang Wulin nodded.

The group stood gazing at one another. They shock of it had instantly left them slightly dumbfounded.

What was the significance of a Divine Craftsman? Those that had been waiting patiently for battle armors understood the significance more than anybody else. The existence of a Divine Craftsman was enough to change the overall ability of a clan and gain the respect of the entire world of the soul masters.

A Divine Craftsman was a person capable of creating four-word battle armor! Additionally, every four-word battle armor would be considered one of the continents greatest creations. The power of a four-word battle armor was not something that other battle armors could compare to.

There was a saying that every four-word battle armor master was a powerhouse capable of fighting against a plane. This was because four-word battle armor was already equipped with its own law.

Was this an exaggeration? Not really. Four-word battle armor would instantly enable a powerhouse that had just entered Limit Douluo-rank to fight against a demigod-ranked master. Four-word armor was not simply a soul master’s second life, but it was utterly the sublimation of life.

The man standing before them was so young, yet he was telling the group of people that he was already a Divine Craftsman capable of completing Heavenly Refinement. How could these people believe his words?

Nevertheless, the young man also had extraordinary identities. He was the Tang Sect’s Sect Master and the Sea God’s Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy. All these identities of his made it impossible for him to tell lies. It was precisely due to these two conflicting entities that the group of Titan Giant Ape Clan’s powerhouses led by Yuanen Zhentian was shocked beyond comparison.

Tang Wulin did not try to convince them any further. It was actually his first time acknowledging that he was a Divine Craftsman to outsiders. During the Joust For A Spouse Festival, everyone’s attention was fixated on something else. He had said some words to Gu Yuena at the time, but he had not been heard by anyone else. As a result, even though someone had suspected that he was a Divine Craftsman, their suspicions remained unconfirmed.

Yuanen Zhentian took a deep breath and said, “Tang Sect Master, I don’t know how to say this, but if you are truly a Divine Craftsman, I think that there’s no way we can reject your request.”

Yes, there was no way for him to refuse. It was truly too important for the Titan Giant Ape Clan to be able to have a four-word battle armor master.

In the past, other than Shrek Academy, the Spirit Pagoda had the most four-word battle armors and that was only three to four sets. The War God Hall’s four-word battle armors did not exceed three sets either.

On the entire Douluo Continent, there were no more than ten four-word battle armor masters. Other than reclusive powerhouses, few four-word battle armor masters existed.

After the great catastrophe that resulted in the destruction of Shrek Academy, the number of four-word battle armor masters had reduced even more. No one knew exactly how many powerhouses out there really had four-word battle armor.

Titan Giant Ape Clan was at its peak with two Limit Douluos including Yuanen Zhentian and Yuane Tiandang. If they had a four-word battle armor master, the clan would immediately ascend to the highest rank on the continent. It would have an unpredictable effect on the clan’s future developments.

Moreover, Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect had a Divine Craftsman on their side. This led Yuanen Zhentian to hold these two great forces in high regard. They had four Limit Douluos, a Divine Craftsman as the Sect Master and Shrek Academy had also displayed their immense influence during the Joust For A Spouse Festival. One would be able to count the days until the academy’s resurgence, eagerly anticipating its rebirth.

A good relationship with Shrek and the Tang Sect was definitely a good thing for the Titan Giant Ape Clan. Moreover, Yuanen Yehui was one of the Shrek Seven Monsters, so it was highly possible that she would also become a Limit Douluo in the future.

It was at this moment that Yuanen Zhentian’s heart made the decision.

“Thank you, senior. I can guarantee that I’ll be completing the foundation Heavenly Refinement for senior Tiandang’s four-word battle armor first. Then, we shall have the mecha maker from Tang Sect help him customize his four-word battle armor.”

“There’s no need for that. I can do it myself because I’m a mecha maker.” Yuanen Tiandang’s eyes were clearly glowing brighter.

His cultivation base had recovered and his daughter had returned to his side. Many of the shadows that had haunted him for many years were gone. As a soul master with extraordinary natural endowments, his biggest dream as a child was to become a four-word battle armor master one day! The opportunity had finally presented itself to him. How could he allow himself to miss it?

“Father, the decision has been made then. I’m willing to go to Shrek Academy and be of service to the academy,” said Yuanen Tiandang.

He would never miss such an opportunity to become a four-word battle armor master no matter what.

Yuanen Zhentian nodded. “Alright. Thank you for going through the trouble, Tang Sect Master.”

Tang Wulin was overjoyed. He had not thought of this idea before he came here. The idea came to him after Yuanen Yehui had reunited with her father and Yuanen Tiandang ascended to Limit Douluo rank. This would give Yuanen Yehui more time with her father, and an additional powerhouse of such a rank was definitely a boon for Shrek Academy. The academy’s teaching strength would be enhanced by one step further too.
