Chapter 1473: It’s Him?

Tang Wulin stared with his mouth agape. There was no description of this trait in all the historical records in Shrek Academy about the Golden Fur Lion Mastiff. Hence, Tang Wulin was not sure what had just happened to it. He simply concluded that he had successfully beaten the Golden Fur Lion Mastiff.

‘I thought the Golden Fur Lion Mastiff should be ferocious and not fear death. Isn’t it described as never retreating unto death? Why did it run away then?’

Also, Tang Wulin vaguely noticed that the Golden Fur Lion Mastiff’s body seemed to be shrinking as it ran away. The aura it exuded weakened gradually as well.

When he looked at his surroundings, the condition of the land within a five hundred-meter radius could be described as a world being turned upside down. If it were not so, he would have difficulty believing that the beast, which had just escaped with its tail between its legs and even threatened his safety, was the cause of all this mess.

After the attack, Tang Wulin was more confident in his Thunder God’s Whip. It was definitely his most powerful single-target attack. Not only was it powerful in offense, it also had the ability to control his target. If only he could combine it with his other attacks...

Tang Wulin began to fiddle with the different combinations of his skills in his mind. If he could put them to good use, it would undoubtedly raise his combat strength to a higher level.

When his cultivation base was at nine rings, it seemed that the entire world had changed. There was also a huge difference among the Title Douluos. Although one would be regarded as a Title Douluo once one’s cultivation base was at that rank, there were still huge differences in the combat strengths of the Title Douluos.

Simply put, if his uncle master did not use his four-word battle armor, he would definitely be his match. His uncle master might even lose within a short period. A soul master’s strength was the combination of his qualities. The soul skills were the most important of all. Unlike the days of old, soul masters today were equipped with battle armors. In a certain sense, battle armors had closed the gap between soul masters of the same rank. Of course, it was all relative.

After he recovered from his last battle, Tang Wulin’s alertness was clearly raised. He decided that he could not let his guard down just because he sensed that his opponent was not powerful. If he did not have his Thunder God’s Whip just now, or had the Golden Fur Lion Mastiff’s attacks been wilder, he might very well not have the opportunity to fight back.

‘Note to self, don’t be careless!’ At the same time, a thought began to take root in Tang Wulin’s mind.

He realized that he actually possessed many abilities. He had his Bluesilver Grass’s nine soul rings and a dozen soul skills. He also had his spiritual domain, the Golden Dragon King’s six soul rings and six soul skills: Golden Dragon Body, Golden Dragon Inferno Kill, Golden Dragon Nine Moves, Blood Soul Fusion Skills, and many more.

He had many abilities. Although he had utilized them before this, actual combat rarely gave him the opportunity to unleash all his skills. Often, he would not even have the time to unleash the most suitable soul skill. He wondered if he could simplify this complex array of skills, gather all his abilities, and incorporate them into his battles. He also wondered if he should combine his soul skills and blood essence soul rings or capitalize on his Blood Soul Fusion Skill to consolidate all his abilities.

Clearly, it was no simple matter. It was not easy for him to create the Blood Soul Fusion Skills. If he wanted to merge them all into one, the difficulty would undoubtedly increase.

It seemed that he had to give it more thought. Also, he could not rush it, rather, he had to take it one step at a time.

Tang Wulin heaved a long sigh and dropped down to the ground. His soul core and Dragon Core worked within him. The two great circulations allowed him to quickly replenish the energy he had spent during the recent battle.

At this very moment, he suddenly felt a peculiar surge of energy far away.

‘What’s this? Spiritual power?’

Tang Wulin’s heart skipped a beat.

The spiritual shockwave rippled out in rings. He only picked it up since it was spreading out.

It was evident that the spiritual power did not belong to a soul beast. ‘Is a soul master unleashing his or her spiritual energy? Could it be a Domain?’

‘A spiritual domain?’

With his heart racing, Tang Wulin twisted his body in the air. Soul power gushed forth and he shot toward the origin of the spiritual shockwave.

The closer Tang Wulin was to the spiritual shockwave’s aura, the more shocked he got. It was because the spiritual power was awesome. It even seemed to have the ability to devour everything.

There seemed to be a vortex at the core of the spiritual power. The vortex was a black hole. It devoured not the soul power nor the heaven and earth elements, but the spiritual power instead.

Tang Wulin’s own spiritual power was drawn in. He felt as if it wanted to break out from his body. Fortunately, his spiritual cultivation base was also at the Spirit Domain realm. With his spiritual soul core guarding his spiritual power, he stayed unaffected.

He got closer to the source. Tang Wulin could see a patch of darkness from the air. No, it was not a pure mass of darkness, but a shade of dark blue. At the core of the dark blue mass, he could faintly make out the black hole which he sensed earlier. The closer he got, the greater his spiritual power was affected. He was forced to stop in his tracks.

‘Incredible! This spiritual domain’s might is truly terrifying!’

There seemed to be no changes in the plants around him. Tang Wulin could not even feel an ounce of life in them. The black hole had devoured the spiritual wave created by their weak life force. Hence, their vitality was gone. On the surface, everything still appeared normal. However, being deprived of their vitality was equivalent to their life being taken away. The only certain outcome was death.

A moment later, Tang Wulin saw someone standing at the center of the black hole.

He was looking up at the skies, but his eyes were completely black. The dark blue radiance was unleashed from his eyes. Around him, there were a dozen large-sized soul beasts sprawled on the ground. They were devoid of aura. Clearly, their sea of spirits were torn to shreds and their souls scattered. There was still some traces of life energy in them. Nonetheless, they showed no signs of life.

‘Is it him?’

Lan Fozi! The spiritual energy which was like a black hole had been unleashed by him!

Tang Wulin did not attempt to get closer. With the lesson learned from his encounter with the Golden Fur Lion Mastiff, he was now extremely careful when he faced similar situations. This was a small, independent plane. Death was a possibility here. If Lan Fozi’s spiritual domain attack had surpassed his endurance, he reckoned that Lan Fozi would end up being destroyed just like the soul beasts.

‘This fellow’s spiritual domain is truly amazing! It’s not just a devouring black hole, but a destructive black hole. Can my body endure this kind of spiritual domain?’

Tang Wulin just finished the thought when Lan Fozi’s body shook greatly. He coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood and the black coloration faded from his eyes. His body collapsed to the ground. The black hole with a terrifying aura also dissipated. In the aftermath, there was no sign of life within a distance of a hundred meters.

Tang Wulin was at Lan Fozi’s side in a jiffy. Lan Fozi’s aura was quite faint. However, Tang Wulin sensed a hint of wildness in his body.

He had a similar feeling when he transformed into the Blood Dragon. Although it was slightly different, the madness had left a deep impression on Tang Wulin. In other words, did Lan Fozi go berserk just now?

He had only met Lan Fozi recently. Hence, they were not that close. However, he would not leave him to die. He placed a hand on Lan Fozi’s chest to sense his body’s condition.

The moment his palm touched Lan Fozi, he was shocked.

Lan Fozi’s meridian vessels’ chaotic state exceeded his expectations. Simply put, Lan Fozi’s soul power coursed in a way starkly different from his. Seemingly, it defied logic. However, his soul power flowed naturally on its own.

Tang Wulin could simultaneously sense that Lan Fozi’s life energy was vigorous. Although Lan Fozi’s spirit was withering, his body was quickly repairing itself. His spiritual power was also fast recovering.

He retracted his soul power. Currently, Lan Fozi was no longer the greatest source of danger, but the soul beasts that might appear at any moment.

‘He’s already unconscious and this place is crawling with soul beasts. Why hasn’t the Ten Thousand Beast Platform transport him out yet? Is it because of my presence here? If that’s the case, it only proves that this Ten Thousand Beast Platform is under constant supervision.’

He sat cross-legged beside Lan Fozi. Tang Wulin was in no hurry to leave. After all, the eighth round’s test was to see who could stay here the longest. At the same time, he was highly interested in these soul beasts, especially those powerful soul beasts which were supposedly extinct. He had learned a lot from his scuffles with them.

Perhaps the spiritual power outburst released by Lan Fozi was too powerful that, even after an hour, no other soul beast made its appearance.

Tang Wulin observed the soul beasts which were killed by Lan Fozi. There were a few that he could not recognize, but those that he could were not weaklings.

He probed Lan Fozi’s aura again. From the feel of his aura, he should have been awake by now! What was happening?
