The Legend of the Dragon King

Su Mu dared not let his guard down. He could already feel the harrowing powers of this blue fireball from the explosive force behind him. He immediately unleashed his Reversal Halo. The fireball reversed its direction and flew toward Gu Yue.

However, Gu Yue just stood there without any sign of moving. Just when the fireball was about to hit her, it surprisingly floated upward. It hovered for a while then accelerated toward Long Yue instead.

It looked as if Gu Yue had deflected Su Mu’s counterattack, using the blue fireball to attack Long Yue.

Such powerful spiritual powers!

Everyone had a vivid view. Su Mu discovered with fright the power of the young girl before him. It was more startling than what Dai Yun’er had described. With her spiritual powers, she could regain control over her attack even after it was reversed by his own Reversal Halo. Moreover, from her calm composure, she knew that she had full control over it. This is definitely strong self-confidence!

Hua Lantang and Dai Yueyan had resolved the threat of the wind blades and continued forward at lightning speed. Su Mu held back no more. His fifth soul ring shone brightly. He unleashed his Destruction Halo which shot straight toward Gu Yue.

This opponent whom they had not given much attention before this was more powerful than they had thought. The most pressing matter now was to deal with her first, before anything else.

Silver light flashed, Gu Yue vanished into thin air. When she reappeared, she was in midair.

She was seen standing on a mass of green fireball as she floated in midair. She waved her right arm in the air and the four soul rings on her body shone consecutively. It was unknown which soul ring had been unleashed when the Elemental Staff appeared in her grasp. On the tip of the staff, a seven-colored light orb flickered.

“Boom!” The blue fireball which had shot toward Long Yue just now exploded on his back. Long Yue’s body went stiff for a moment.

Currently, he was fighting Tang Wulin head-on. Tang Wulin leaped in the air, but he did not utilize his two giant hammers. Instead, he pounced directly toward Long Yue.

Two beams of silver light flickered in turn. Suddenly, there were two others who appeared beside Gu Yue. They were Yuanen Yehui and Ye Xinglan.

Gu Yue tapped Ye Xinglan’s body with the Elemental Staff. Ye Xinglan’s back shone brightly with green light. In the next instant, she flew outward at lightning speed given the boost from the tapping. Yuanen Yehui, on the other hand, descended from the skies and landed where Gu Yue stood a few moments ago.

Centering control, was she their master-control soul master? She had such powerful attacks as well.

Xie Xie had collided with Teng Teng. The two figures interacted with lightning speed, and their collisions gave off a series of booming sounds.

On the other side of the stage, Lin San had closed in on Xu Xiaoyan. Currently, the battle was in full progress. Relatively speaking, Monster Academy still kept to their formation. Although there was some distance between their team members, they were still within range of helping each other in defense.

Meanwhile, Shrek Academy’s formation was noticeably scattered. Yue Zhengyu was currently behind Tang Wulin. He flapped his wings and leaped into the skies as he prepared to leap over Long Yue’s head. Xu Xiaoyan was alone at the rear, and she had to face the strongest agility system soul master of their opponents, Wind King Lin San.

Overall, it seemed that Shrek Academy had a slight advantage at the moment. However, once Xu Xiaoyan was defeated by Wind King Lin San, the situation could change in an instant turning the tide in the battle.

As she faced the breeze that shot toward her, Xu Xiaoyan smiled faintly. In her right hand, the Starwheel Ice Staff flickered.

It was at this moment when Gu Yue who was in the air far away mumbled under her breath. Her Elemental Staff drew a circular arc in the air, then, a fireball nearly twice the size of the previous ones shot out. However, this blue fireball seemed to have misfired, because it was falling toward an empty spot on the competition stage behind them.

Xu Xiaoyan squinted her eyes slightly. She pointed her Starwheel Ice Staff toward her front. A beam of starlight rose silently before her.

Wind King Lin San was currently near her. He was prepared to release his Wind Blade to defeat this control system soul master whose strength was not fully understood by his teammates.

At this very moment, a golden light suddenly flashed before him. A golden light circle appeared on the ground. There was a heightened sense of danger. Lin San instinctively moved away swiftly changing the direction of his forward charge to evade the halo. He now ended being further away from Xu Xiaoyan.

Xu Xiaoyan had no intention of moving. The Starwheel Ice Staff in her hands flickered again. This time, the second soul ring on her body lit up as well.

A beam of starlight burst forth instantly. Lin San felt his vision blurred. Shortly after, a dazzled feeling arose within his spirit. Subsequently, his footwork was affected and fell into disarray.

Simultaneously, there was a heavy sense of danger from the bottom of his heart. He unleashed his battle armor which covered his whole body immediately.

“Boom!”

What the audience saw was a different scene altogether.

In their view, Lin San was very near to Xu Xiaoyan. However, the instant he got closer, a golden halo appeared on the ground. Lin San dodged it with ease. There was nothing extraordinary up to this point.

However, shortly after, Lin San appeared insane all of a sudden. He turned around and ran. The Wind Blade which he had in his grasp was released at an empty spot. He ran hurriedly to a vacant spot of the stage. That spot happened to be where the giant blue fireball was falling toward.

At that critical moment, Lin San unleashed his battle armor in the nick of time. In the next instant, his body was swallowed by the blue fireball.

An intense explosion was heard. It erupted with a horrifying impact. The sound of the explosion lasted for a full three seconds before it gradually faded.

Xu Xiaoyan was quite a distance away when the blue fireball landed. Then, she headed in the direction of the main battle. She did not even spare Lin San a glance.

This…

What was the situation? Could it be that the blue fireball had not misfired at all, and was aimed at that spot all along? What kind of coordination was this?

In a situation where their formation was so scattered, how could they carry out such precise coordination? Was this Shrek Academy’s way?

The scene did not escape Long Yue’s eyes. In his heart, he felt astounded. He sensed that Shrek Academy was more powerful in a team battle than it was in solo battles.

The collision between Long Yue and Tang Wulin had finally commenced as well. He raised his double pointed lance and thrust it toward Tang Wulin. Tang Wulin did not dodge. Instead, he retaliated with his pair of Golden Dragon Claws hitting on the lance, the collision bursting forth into two masses of golden light, while he leaped up using the force from the collision. He surprisingly did not choose to have a clash of strengths. When his body was in midair, a beam of golden light suddenly shone brightly. Shortly after, Long Yue saw a golden spear in Tang Wulin’s hands.

It was also double pointed, with a length of about five meters. The entire spear was a brilliant gold and dragon-shaped patterns were flickering faintly on the spear. The sharp tips at both ends of the spear were translucent.

For unknown reasons, the instant the spear appeared, Long Yue felt his heart shrink intensely. It was as if he had seen some extremely terrifying object. His heartbeat had quickened as well which weakened his strength.

Tang Wulin’s bloodline power had become more powerful. All this because of a spear?

…

“Huff… huff…” Tang Wulin panted ceaselessly.

He felt like he was dead. When the extreme pain became excruciating, he saw a pitch dark world. That world was filled with serenity and silence. It was as if he would not have to worry anymore once he reached that world.

He walked slowly toward that world getting nearer to the dark void.

At this moment, he heard a yell.

“Get back!”

Shortly after, a beam of golden light appeared out of the blue. A moment later, an intense pain appeared all over his body again. Miraculously, Tang Wulin could see the insides of his body.

His broken bones and meridians were all healed. Compared to before, his faint golden insides had another layer of sparkle. It was as if a crystal-like substance had been smothered onto the surfaces of his bones, meridians, and internal organs. It looked surreal.

His bloodline power had become clearer, and it was tinted with a sparkling luster. Two of his Eight Extraordinary Meridians which had been connected had become more resilient, and the flow was smoother.

A power which he had never experienced before filled his body. The pain was receding like the tides.

‘Did I do it? I did it!’

The dignified voice resounded in Tang Wulin’s mind. It sounded like Old Tang, but he could not be entirely sure. He did not know what kind of feeling this was, but that voice made him feel at ease with a strong sense of security.

“Ah…” He heaved a long sigh of relief. The stamina and blood essence power within him was gradually put into motion.

At this moment, Tang Wulin suddenly felt there was something more to his body. He opened his eyes instinctively.

Shortly after, he felt that his front was completely covered by a gold patch. He could vaguely make out that he was in a shower room. An empty shower room.

Then, a spot of golden light emanated from between his brows, and it hung in the air.
