The Legend of the Dragon King (Web Novel)
chapter-1625

It was an attack on two fronts, to his body and spirit. He should not be trying to simply endure the blow! If he was struck once more and his exposed soul was severely injured by the impact, he was afraid he would be damaging more than his origin power.

Qiangu Qingfeng was also astonished by Tang Wulin’s strength!

Although his Hell Cut skill was from his second soul ring, it was his core soul skill just like Lan Muzi’s Sun Spring Snow. When the opponent’s soul was stripped away from their body, any subsequent attacks would cause twice the damage to the opponent. At the same time, the force of the Hell Cut was a result of producing a ferocious attack after condensing all of his strength and soul power. He had confronted countless opponents that were incapable of blocking this attack.

Tang Wulin had not only managed to block the attack, but he had also channeled a mighty tremor through that spear, despite it being much thinner than his Purgatory Ji. Although Qiangu Qingfeng had a Limit Douluo-ranked cultivation base, he did not have any kind of advantage when they fought with brute strength. This was not a result of Tang Wulin’s soul power. Qiangu Qingfeng had yet to reach the quasigod realm, but he had a demigod cultivation base in addition to his Purgatory Ji’s ability to torture people’s souls. Qiangu Dongfeng was still one level below him.

He was incapable of suppressing Tang Wulin’s strength, despite his demigod-ranked soul power so one could imagine how formidable Tang Wulin’s physical capabilities were!

Qiangu Qingfeng could not help getting more interested in Tang Wulin.

The young Tang Sect’s Sect Master and the Sea God’s Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy was extraordinary as expected.

Meanwhile, the Golden Dragon Spear that shook the Purgatory Ji away moved and shot out dazzling golden spear tips. It was still unleashing the Thousand Accusing Fingers, but it also let out a fearsome dragon’s roar.

A gigantic golden dragon’s head charged out near the center of Tang Wulin’s body. The deafening dragon’s roar echoed through the sky and ground. It forcefully suppressed the Cold Rhyme Guzheng’s rapid melody echoing from the opposite side.

It was still Thousand Accusing Fingers, but this time, it was complemented by the Golden Dragon Roar.

“Clang!” The Purgatory Ji was blocked horizontally across Qiangu Qingfeng’s body, just as gush of incredible, penetrating strength shot through the ji.

The Purgatory Douluo Qiangu Qingfeng could not help feeling startled. How had Tang Wulin’s strength increased so much?

Of course, he was unaware that the strength was channeled from the Golden Dragon Domineering Body. Qiangu Qingfeng was equal to enduring the attack from himself and Tang Wulin simultaneously.

They engaged in a hand-to-hand fight. They moved with superhuman speed, and every clash was a head-to-head battle of raw strength.

The majority of the media personnel and people watching the battle from afar were unaware of Qiangu Qingfeng’s identity, but then the media used their numerous resources!

Some of the television channels were rapidly searching for information. Soon enough, Qiangu Qingfeng’s name and background were appearing in the introduction given by the media.

Qiangu Qingfeng was the half-brother of the current Spirit Pagoda’s Pagoda Master and he could very possibly be a Limit Douluo.

The Qiangu Clan was capable of outshining others in the Spirit Pagoda, so one could imagine how profound their inner secrets were. In addition to Qiangu Dieting, who had reached quasigod-rank, there were three great Limit Douluos in the Qiangu Clan. If the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu was added to the pack, the Spirit Pagoda possessed four great Limit Douluos. Such might was enough to send shockwaves through Heaven. Moreover, there was no telling if there were other Limit Douluos within the organization. The soul masters’ world assumed that the Silver Princess Gu Yuena would certainly ascend to Limit Douluo in the future as well.

Qiangu Dongfeng had been raising his head to watch the battle the whole time. Just as Tang Wulin had been confident during A Ruheng and Sima Jinchi’s battle, Qiangu Dongfeng was feeling very sure about this round of the two-on-two battles.

The act of challenging Shrek this time had been a part of his plan all along. He wanted to take this chance to display the Spirit Pagoda’s inner secrets and true abilities to the outside world as well.

In the previous Joust For A Spouse Festival, some of the military forces had begun to waver after Shrek Academy’s official resurgence including the War God Hall. Various factions were maintaining an ambiguous attitude toward the Spirit Pagoda. Besides Shrek Academy’s charisma, another cause was that the Spirit Pagoda had grown too dominant.

All the great forces in the Federation would not willingly favor the monopoly of a single organization. The Spirit Pagoda had relied on their invention of ten-thousand-year spirit souls and the external use of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform to accumulate an astronomical amount of wealth in a short period of time. In addition to their influence in the parliament, Spirit Pagoda wielded power like the sun at high noon.

There was a saying of ‘the tallest tree in the forest will be blown away by the gale first’. All the factions were concerned by the Spirit Pagoda’s leaping development. As a result, the great forces, such as the War God Hall, had begun to keep their distance, including at the parliamentary level.

The Spirit Pagoda made the decision to go forward with this plan after discussing it in an internal meeting.

This was because the situation before their eyes could not be changed by adopting a conciliatory policy. No matter how much the Spirit Pagoda bribed or tried to win hearts over with kindness, the Spirit Pagoda’s constant increase in power would stay the same. As a result, the Spirit Pagoda voted to make their reputation even more fearsome. That being the case, fear would turn into terror at some point. Terror would hamper people’s ability to make rational judgements, so the Spirit Pagoda would have to take this into consideration.

On the other hand, only the Spirit Pagoda was aware of the speed of its development. The Ten Thousand Beast Platform and the ten-thousand-year spirit souls had helped them to gather a large batch of powerful soul masters.

At the moment, the Spirit Pagoda might have had the most power it had held in ten thousand years. If they continued growing at this rate, it would produce a quantitative change sooner or later.

As a result, they were here this time not only to create chaos for Shrek’s enrollment program, but display of their prowess to the outside world. They would like to use their formidable abilities to shock the people that treated them ambivalently.

Qiangu Qiangfeng had been pesonally invited by Qiangu Dieting. In the entire Spirit Pagoda, only Qiangu Dieting could persuade his eldest son.

Qiangu Qingfeng was one of the thirty-six elders of the Spirit Pagoda, just as the Pagoda Master and Deputy Pagoda Master were members. The true heart of the organization remained to be these members, rather than the spiriters and the numerous people in the Spirit Pagoda’s staff.

At the time, only one person had been nominated to be the newest member, which was the Silver Dragon Princess Gu Yuena! Gu Yuena used her incredible abilities to prove herself. On the other hand, Qiangu Zhangting had not even been nominated due to his poor performance in the Joust For A Spouse Festival. He would only be qualified to become a member of the Spirit Pagoda if he could pick up after the operation of Spirit Academy.

Because of the tremendous confidence he had in his brother, Qiangu Dongfeng was paying close attention to the clash between Qiangu Qingfeng and Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin’s growth rate was as fast as he had imagined and worried about. He watched in awe as Tang Wulin relied on his strength to resist Qiangu Dongfeng’s Purgatory Ji.

He was defeated by Qiangu Qingfeng in the past, so he was well aware of how powerful the Purgatory Ji was. He could confirm that Tang Wulin had certainly had another breakthrough recently. Moreover, it had been a massive leap. Yes, Tang Wulin has become a Hyper Douluo. He was a young man in his twenties, yet he had already elevated himself to Hyper Douluo-tank.

Were Shrek’s inner secrets truly that impressive? Qiangu Dongfeng was finding Tang Wulin’s growth rate quite baffling, especially after Tang Wulin had proven his identity as a Divine Craftsman and produced a few pieces of four-word battle armor for the Shrek Academy. It was impossible for the Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua to produce so much four-word battle armor in such a short period of time.

This young man was simply richly endowed by nature. In fact, it would not even be an exaggeration if Qiangu Dongfeng were to say he was blessed by Heaven. He could never allow someone like this to fulfill their potential. Qiangu Dongfeng could see Yun Ming’s reflection in Tang Wulin.

He could still clearly remember the first time he met Yun Ming and the battle between Yun Ming and his father.

At the time, Yun Ming and his father’s realms were not that different. Nevertheless, Qiangu Dieting did not stand a chance during the match as he was completely suppressed from the beginning to the end. The fight had had such an effect on Qiangu Dieting’s mind that he only reached quasigod-rank thirty years later than what had been estimated.
