Soul Land 3: Legend Of The Dragon King

Chapter 1555

"Brother Chen!" Qiangu Dieting yelled in an urgent manner.

"Let them go," Chen Xinjie said in an authoritative voice as he waved a hand through the air, and all of the people from the Battle God Hall put away their weapons before rising higher up into the air.

Thus, Long Yeyue, Yali, Cao Dezhi, and Zang Xin departed with their heads held high right before everyone's eyes. They were followed closely by everyone else from the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy.

"Brother Chen, this is Bright City, and the Tang Sect is a treasonous organization; are you not afraid of punishment for this?" Qiangu Dieting said in an enraged manner.

Chen Xinjie turned to him with a cold expression. "Over a third of the members of our Battle God Hall are Shrek Academy graduates, and over half of them have ties with Shrek Academy; do you want to force them to turn on us?"

Qiangu Dieting faltered slightly upon hearing this.

Chen Xinjie continued, "If Shrek Academy is that easy to bring down, do you think Shrek City would've stood for 20,000 years? From now on, stay far away from our Battle God Hall; we're not tools for you to use. As for whether your Spirit Pagoda has ties with the Holy Spirit Cult, I'm sure you're well aware of that."

After that, he rose up into the air and quickly vanished.

"Bastards!" Qiangu Dieting roared, and the entire competition platform instantly caved in significantly, but even with his quasigod level powers, there was nothing that he could do.

Qiangu Dongfeng was even more enraged. Even though the live broadcast had been cut off, there were still over 100,000 spectators who had witnessed everything, so there was no way that this could be kept secret. However, if news of this were to spread, then the Spirit Pagoda's reputation would be swept to the ground.

Thus, the joust for a spouse drew to a conclusion, and much to everyone's surprise, the Silver Dragon Princess chose Lan Fuozi in the end.

Furthermore, the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy had openly displayed their animosity toward the Spirit Pagoda. This was an event that could shake the entire continent!

As Tang Wulin awakened, he found himself lying on a bed. This was no longer the blacksmith association as it was no longer appropriate for him to return there after such a groundbreaking event. Currently, everyone had their attention focused on the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, so it wasn't going to be an easy task for so many of them to leave the city.

As soon as Tang Wulin woke up, Xie Xie rushed over to his bedside with a concerned expression.

"Don't be sad, Boss. I'm sure everything was just..." He didn't know how to comfort Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin had just been impaled through the chest by the woman of his dreams in front of the entire continent; anyone would be shattered after such an experience.

Tang Wulin sat up and rolled his eyes at Xie Xie. "You don't need to comfort me."

"Huh?" Xie Xie faltered slightly upon hearing this before reflexively laying a hand on Tang Wulin's forehead, "Have you gone mad from grief, Boss?"

Tang Wulin slapped his hand away in an exasperated manner. "Can you stop trying to curse me?"

Xie Xie's eyes widened as he asked, "Aren't you sad at all after how Gu Yue treated you? Could it be that your romantic interest has changed? Who is it? Dai Yun'er?"

Tang Wulin rolled his eyes in response. "Save your imagination for your cultivation. I'm fine, where's everyone else?"

Xie Xie replied, "We're still all in Bright City; Elder Long said that we'll leave after you wake up. Are you really alright?"

Tang Wulin nodded in response. "I'm fine. Tell me what happened after I fell unconscious."

Xie Xie was rather skeptical, but he still did as he was told and gave Tang Wulin a brief recount of events.

"My blood was boiling in my veins at the time! That was what our Shrek Academy is all about! You should've seen Qiangu Dieting and Qiangu Dongfeng's faces, haha, just thinking about it makes me want to laugh!"

Tang Wulin gave a slight nod upon hearing this. Everything had progressed much the same as he had anticipated; the only disappointing thing was that he had been unable to take Gu Yuena with him.

Was he not sad about this at all? Of course he was, but it was nothing that he couldn't handle.

In the end, he was unable to convince her to come with him, and as for his injuries, they were completely non-existent.

It appeared that he had been dealt extremely heavy blows, but both of Gu Yuena's final attacks had actually only been directed at his suit of battle armor. Only the power of laws within the rainbow elements had surged into his body, creating a special reaction with the tribulation lightning that he had withstood in the past.

As soon as he had awakened, his understanding of elemental laws had been significantly deepened. Furthermore, Gu Yuena had worn a golden dress, and even though she hadn't said anything intimate to him at all, her actions proved many things.

In particular, in the instant that her final palm strike had made contact with Tang Wulin's chest, she had shown him that he was the only man in her heart.

Her intent had been transmitted to him on a spiritual level, and even though it was only for an instant, it was an unforgettable experience.

What Tang Wulin had mixed feelings about was that he had realized that Gu Yuena was refusing to come with him not because he wasn't powerful enough, but instead because she had her own motives. She was clearly targeting the Spirit Pagoda in some way, but what he was most concerned about was her safety.

The Spirit Pagoda had stood on the continent for over 10,000 years and had built up an extremely powerful foundation. Qiangu Dieting was a quasigod who was most likely no less powerful than Chen Xinjie, and Qiangu Dongfeng was also a Limit Douluo at the demigod level.

Surrounded by so many powerful beings, she could easily bring about her own demise if she weren't careful. On top of that, there was also Qiangu Zhangting.

Just the mere thought of this love rival placed Tang Wulin in a bad mood. Even if it were only for show, he still didn't want Gu Yuena to be anywhere near him.

The other thing that he was concerned about was that Gu Yuena's enemies may not be limited to only the Spirit Pagoda. After all, she had once told him that being with her would require him to face the entire world as his enemy.

As such, Tang Wulin was currently grappling with a series of complex emotions. Gu Yuena was too wilful, and it definitely wouldn't be an easy task to convince her to come with him. Even though she had shown him her true feelings, she had also expressed her determination through her actions, and that was the main issue for Tang Wulin.

At the same time, he was astonished by Gu Yuena's power.

During these past few years, he had been constantly evolving at a rapid rate, particularly in the last two years, where he had become a Titled Douluo, participated in the Trial of Five Gods, experienced a baptizing by lightning while out at sea, and become a Divine Blacksmith.

Each of those events had significantly enhanced his overall powers, and it was no exaggeration to say that he now deserved the titles of Tang Sect Master and Sea God's Pavilion Master.

However, in the face of Gu Yuena, Tang Wulin felt like he had been completely dominated. Not only was she extremely powerful, her elemental control had even managed to strip him of the plane's blessings. As a result, he had been firmly on the back foot the entire battle.

Even though this could partially be attributed to his reservations about hurting Gu Yuena, the main factor behind this was still Gu Yuena's overwhelming power. In particular, those last two attacks displayed not just Gu Yuena's formidable powers, but also her exceptional control.
