The Legend of the Dragon King (Web Novel)
chapter-1352

“However, he did not give up. He worked as hard as he had always. He believed that if he could persevere and work hard to pursue his dream, to pursue her, he would eventually succeed. When that day came…”

He paused all of a sudden when he said this. Even when his body was fatally wounded, he could still stand with his back straight. However, he was trembling at this moment.

The scene changed again. The beautiful little girl now looked to be around eighteen or nineteen years old. She was walking arm in arm with a big and tall handsome guy. A wizened old married woman stood before them. They were having a conversation, but their voices were barely audible. The little boy was also as old as she was. He was looking at them from an insignificant corner.

“At that time, the little boy’s mother had known just how much her son loved the little girl. She was also approving of them. She had tried to persuade her son saying they were not a match, but the little boy was unwilling to listen.”

“This day, the little boy’s mother couldn’t find the little boy. She met the little girl on the streets. She only told the little girl that if she didn’t have any feelings for the little boy, she asked her to directly tell him and reject him. However, she had also asked her to not hurt him. As a mother, that was her greatest hope. She only wished for her son to grow up healthily and happily.”

“However, maybe it was because she had just found a boy she loved, the little girl back then wanted to show him that she had nothing to do with the little boy. She told the little boy’s mother that she had always treated the little boy as a follower, a dog. It was the little boy who’d stuck to her like plaster in his overconfident manner. She couldn’t ask for anything better than for the little boy to leave her alone. She walked away after she said this, holding her head high with her boyfriend. The little boy’s mother stood there and wept.”

The scene changed as he narrated. It spurred everyone’s emotions as well. His story did not sound like a Limit Douluo’s story. His story was simple and pure, but it was filled with desolation at the same time.

“The little boy ran wildly. Later that day, heavy rain fell upon that place. The rain was so heavy that he could not see where he was going. However, he continued to run. In the little girl’s heart, he really was just a dog. Something precious in his heart seemed to have shattered, his young self shattered as well. At his young age, he was filled with impulse. He felt that he was a loser who had brought shame to his family. He lost all hope of living in this world.”

“He bought some poison and drank it under the impulse.” The Qilin Douluo’s face was wet with tears. Even though it had been a long time since all that happened, he would still be filled with immense pain when he thought back about it.

Tang Wulin was intently looking at him nearby. As he listened to his story, Tang Wulin could feel what he felt. In terms of relationships, his experience was not as rugged as his. However, all those years ago, the martial soul which he awakened was also a useless one. Even his spirit soul was a defective one. He naturally understood that when a person who was not gifted wanted to grow into an expert, they would have to put in more effort than the others. Now, it seemed like Tong Yu had put in even more effort than he had.

“The little guy didn’t die, but he became a monster. Scales grew on his body. He was not handsome to begin with, and his new look disgusted the others even more. Even his family members fainted at the sight of him. Back then, his attitude started changing. He started to detest the world and its ways. On that day, he met the little girl for one last time.”

The scene changed. When the little girl saw the little boy, her facial expression was clearly one of fright. She was frightened by his scale-covered appearance.

“The little boy asked her if she had ever liked him, even just a little. Although the little girl was slightly afraid of his looks, she quickly remembered that she was the stronger one between them and she had nothing to fear. Hence, she proudly told him that she had never liked him. She also asked him to never bother her again. She told him that she was disgusted by his looks.”

“The little boy gave up on his unrequited love. At that moment, he truly gave up. For a person who’d died once before, his attitude transformed after he experienced that pain. He dejectedly bid her farewell as he said goodbye to everything in his youth as well. However, he had this stubborn notion in his heart. One day, he would return. He would stand before her and prove to her that he could become an expert and that her choice was wrong.”

“With this attitude, the little boy went on to receive an education. He didn’t say goodbye to his family, he just left without saying anything. He only hoped that he would return when he’s able to prove his own strength and that the others will finally view him with different eyes.”

He went away with a firm resolve. He vowed never to return until he made his mark. It was also at that moment that he noticed that his own martial soul had undergone some gradual changes without him noticing. It’d come to be known as his martial soul’s mutation.”

“Finally, he came to the place of his dreams. In order to enter Monster Academy, he had put in immense efforts. Eventually, one of the teachers noticed him and took him in. From that moment on, his fate seemed to have changed. With his mutated martial soul, his cultivation speed could be described as lightning fast. Before this, no matter how much hard work he had put into it he could not even increase his cultivation base by half a rank, but now it felt as if he was able to achieve it without much effort. He was improving at a visible pace every day. He was especially happy. He believed that when he returned to the little girl’s side after becoming powerful enough, he’d be able to see her expression of regret. Hence, even though his natural talents were good enough back then, he still worked extremely hard. He learned from everyone around him and learned their virtues. He kept training himself so that he’d become more powerful.”

“His cultivation base increased day by day. In ten years, he gradually cultivated from his less than three rings Soul Grandmaster rank to a strength that was close to a Title Douluo’s rank. His martial soul had also turned into a divine beast after countless transformations. When that happened, he chose to cultivate in seclusion. He had made up his mind to return and look for the little girl after he concluded his cultivation. He’d stand before her and tell her that he’d become an expert and will surely become the man who stands at the pinnacle of the world in the future.”

“At that time, the little boy wasn’t filled with much hope. Instead, he merely hoped to retrieve his honor.”

“Maybe his hard work had earned the favor of the heavens, he managed to enter deep meditation during his secluded meditation. His deep meditation continued for a long time, like a long slumber. When he awoke from his sleep, he noticed with shock that he didn’t merely attain a Title Douluo’s rank, he had accumulated much richer strength than that. When he obtained his ninth soul skill, his cultivation base instantly shot through the roof. He had broken through to a Hyper Douluo’s rank in one go.”

“He seemed to have become a Hyper Douluo. At that time, he was already the most powerful person among the Monster Academy’s younger generation. There was no one as powerful as him.”

Currently, the Qilin Douluo’s eyes were filled with pride. This pride belonged to him. He had obtained the results after countless years of hard work. He was proud of himself.

“He bid farewell to his teacher excitedly and decided to go home. He wanted to meet the little girl and visit his family as well. Although his appearance was still hideous, he was already appointed as a Monster Academy’s teacher at that time. He had a high and revered social standing. He had an income with which he’d never have to worry about money.”
