The Legend of the Dragon King (Web Novel)
chapter-1667

Tang Wulin was gasping for breath loudly. He had no idea if he was even truly breathing there, but he still felt like he was suffocating. Intense fear gripped his heart. Despite the fact that he had only managed to see the scene for a moment earlier, yet it left behind an impression that was too profound in his heart.

His father’s aura and those of his three opponents on the opposite side had all left behind a profound impression on him, especially at the last moment when his father wielded the Sea God’s Trident. It was during that very moment that Tang Wulin felt that something in his mind seemed to have reached a breakthrough.

It was an amazing sensation that could not be described in words, but he could confirm that this feeling was certainly real.

After a long while, Tang Wulin spoke with a slightly hoarse voice, “Return.”

There was a golden flash, and in the next moment, his body was drenched in lake water. The refreshingly cold water surrounded him and awakened his spirit a little.

‘I’m back.’ The feeling of being brought back to reality was unusually pleasing. Tang Wulin stretched and let out a long breath. Whatever else, he was finally back!

The events that had just transpired lingered in his mind for a long time, especially his father’s final words. It was only for a moment, but it was engraved deep inside his memory. He could feel his father’s intense love for him. It was this love that made his father so determined.

Why was his father fighting against such powerful opponents? His father was already a God King so what sort of people could his opponents be? They were capable of coercing his father to that extent. It was simply unimaginable.

‘Father, you must win!’

Tang Wulin could tell from the scratches left on the Sea God’s Trident that the battle was horrifying.

There was another flash of light as Tang Wulin summoned the Sea God’s Trident and took a look at it. He was astonished to see that the scratches on the tridents earlier had already vanished completely. Everything had returned to normal.

As he held the heavy trident, the feeling of perfect harmony radiated once again as if the weapon had gotten closer to him. He could instantly sense that the relationship between him and the super divine weapon was even more intimate now. He could wield and utilize it better.

Tang Wulin had confidence in himself and his father as well. Had it not been that he was soon going to carry out the plan to seize the Eternal Heaven, he would have wanted to complete the Sea God’s Nine Examinations at one go. Once they were all complete, he could utilize the super divine weapon to its fullest extent.

Furthermore, he felt that this divine weapon was the bond between himself and his father. It was as if he could see the situation on his father’s side through it, but he still had no idea what happened on that side.

“Father, I will certainly work hard as well. I will definitely become powerful as soon as possible. I will make sure that I’m strong enough so that I can look for you, mother and sister. I’ll bring all of you here!”

“Hum!” A gush of rich life force surged out and wrapped around Tang Wulin, enshrouded him in warmth. The life force surged into his body and delivered a pleasant sensation.

“Thank you.” Tang Wulin looked toward the Ancient Life Tree before him.

Perhaps because the energy collected earlier had already been digested, the Ancient Life Tree was no longer growing. Despite just standing there quietly, it still gave Tang Wulin an especially calming feeling.

Tang Wulin floated to its side. The green light barrier protected and isolated the water ripples from the outside. Tang Wulin took a seat and entered a meditative state.

The act was completely subconscious. He wanted to digest and absorb everything that he had seen in the Sea God’s Third Examination for a moment.

though he had only seen their auras, those four auras had imprinted into the depths of his mind, just like the trident’s imprint.

The third examination was “imprint”. Compared to the two prior examinations, this examination did not last long. However, Tang Wulin could clearly tell that he would need the longest time to absorb and digest the experience. He wanted to understand their auras. Perhaps it would become the most important key to reaching Limit Douluo rank in the near future.

In Shrek Academy, the Holy Spirit Douluo Yali frowned ever so slightly upon listening to Ling Zichen’s explanation. “Ha Luosa has made a surprise appearance. As expected, they couldn’t stand the loneliness and came. It’s fine. Wulin will be fine.”

She was well aware of the relationship between Tang Wulin and the Ancient Life Tree. Ever since the Ancient Life Tree was resurrected, the Life Seed Tang Wulin had already transformed into an immortal in a sense. As long as the Ancient Life Tree still existed, it would be hard to kill him. This was because he could return to the Ancient Life Tree’s side at any time through the spiritual connection between him and the Ancient Life Tree. The connection was built on the foundation of the plane’s blessing. In other words, the connection could not be broken unless it was disrupted by something superior to the planar power.

No matter how powerful Ha Luosa was, he was just a quasigod and had not reached Godhood.

As for why Tang Wulin had been transported away, Yali had some ideas. There were many secrets to Tang Wulin’s body. Some of these secrets came from Shrek while some belonged to the Tang Sect. In any case, one thing they could all confirm was that none of this would affect Tang Wulin’s disposition. All of the Limit Douluos from Shrek and the Tang Sect, including herself, believed this in a manner that was nearly religious. One of the main reasons for such faith was Tang Wulin’s identity as the Nature Child blessed by the plane. They believed deeply that the plane and the Ancient Life Tree would not choose wrongly. It was precisely because of this that the Amorous Douluo and the Heartless Douluo promptly chose Tang Wulin as the Tang Sect’s Sect Master back then.

Moreover, the Ancient Life Tree at the Sea God Lake protected him. There was no need to worry about Tang Wulin’s safety at all.

“It’s alright if he’s fine. The enemy today was very powerful.” Ling Zichen frowned deeply.

“Hmm, it’s fine. They can’t make our Shrek waver so easily now. You must be tired. Please have a good rest.”

Ling Zichen nodded and left the Holy Spirit Douluo’s room. She did not take her rest. In her mind, the act of resting was wasteful. In fact, all scientists felt the same.

Especially after just witnessing the might of Tang Wulin and the Underworld King Douluo Ha Luosa, her desire to research grew stronger. The day’s events had triggered new ideas for a few projects that had entered a critical juncture.

She had always been under the assumption that her divine mecha was already very capable and could even rival a Limit Douluo. However, judging by the situation, it seemed like it was not enough and the mecha was not sufficiently powerful. She still needed even greater offensive capabilities. As for the side effects? She had no regards for that. The power was most important!

Tang Wulin had no idea that the great battle between himself and Ha Luosa had triggered Ling Zichen’s madness.

One week later, the soul train stopped in Mingdu Soul Train Station stably, and the passengers disembarked. The crowd pushed toward the exit.

A few people walked out from the different cars after the rest of the travelers alighted.

Though each car was not that close, they stood gazing at one another at a distance. They could still exchange glances easily.

Two people got out of the last car. It was a man and a woman. The young man appeared to be about the age of twenty with a handsome face. His head of short, blue hair looked elegant and graceful. The young woman that followed by his side had a sultry figure. She was dressed in a leather suit that complemented her voluptuous curves perfectly. She walked hand-in-hand with the young man with a faint smile on her face.

If anyone that was acquainted with her saw this, they would certainly be surprised. This was because this young woman was none other than the Tang Sect’s soul technology research center’s Director Ling Zichen. She was the embodiment of raging violence and madness.

Yet, here she was, looking like a timid and affectionate woman. Where was her madness?
