The Legend of the Dragon King

“The teacher came to his aid. Subsequently, he lived under his teacher’s protection. He was stripped off his three-word battle armor, and he returned to the academy. He was imprisoned although he did not wish to continue living. He found it meaningless to live. However, he realized he had two more wishes he had yet to fulfill when he gradually regained his composure. He remembered the girl once said that her future lover would be a man who stood at the pinnacle of the world. He wished to be the one on the pinnacle despite the fact she was no longer around. He wanted to prove to her that she made the wrong choice back in the beginning. He was confident of fulfilling his wish. Thus, he began cultivating painstakingly from that day onward. Twenty years passed and he finally achieved it. He had broken through to that realm.”

“Today, he stood here. Initially, he hoped that he could do something for his country. Unfortunately, what a waste it was that he didn’t fulfill his wish in the end. However, it was because he had an even more important wish today, which is, to atone for his crime.”

“Child, I wonder if you’re watching the Battle of Five Gods now. You should be over thirty years old by now. I was the one who killed your mother. It’s my fault and I’m here to atone for my crime before you. Today, your mother’s murderer will die. I hope that you’ll let go of all the enmity in your heart. To redeem my wrongdoing toward you, I’ll leave the most quintessential item from my lifetime of cultivation for you. I hope it’ll be the remedy for your pain all these years. I don’t hope for you to forgive me as our relationship is irreconcilable. However, my only wish is for you to live free from enmity. Go seek your happiness.”

As he spoke, Tong Yu opened his mouth and spat out a ball of five-colored radiance. It was a five-colored pearl which transformed into a stream of red light before flying toward En Ci.

En Ci raised his hand to catch it. His face was immediately enriched, yet his complexion was exceedingly unpleasant. It was the Five Elements Qilin Pearl with the concentrated essence of this Title Douluo who had cultivated to the level of a Limit Douluo.

It was precisely because he had refined the Five Elements Qilin Pearl that he did not appear to have achieved the Hyper Douluo rank in today’s battle. It was for this reason he failed to block Tang Wulin’s attack. He was utterly exhausted at this juncture.

“Teacher, I’m sorry. I needed today’s opportunity to tell everyone in the empire that the academy hasn’t granted me any favoritism. I want everyone to know the truth of the matter. The academy’s reputation shouldn’t be tarnished because of me. It has been twenty-seven years since the incident, and my heart’s desire has been fulfilled. I’ve atoned for the crimes that I’ve committed and cleansed the academy’s name in the process. Tong Yu has no other regret in his life anymore.”

He sat cross-legged when he was done speaking. The destructive radiance on his body suddenly weakened as his aura vanished completely.

It was the third round in the Battle of Five Gods, and Tang Wulin emerged the victor. The opponent, Qilin Douluo Tong Yu had died. The whole empire was stunned.

Since he had won three rounds out of five, Tang Wulin would be considered to have achieved the final victory in the Battle of Five Gods. He had defeated the entire Star Luo Empire and put everyone in shock.

However, the rule dictated that he must win all five rounds. In the Tang Sect’s disciples’ views, their Sect Master had established himself as invincible at present. What could be the worst thing to happen if the Star Luo Empire won the last two rounds?

No one cheered aloud after the third round of the competition ended as everyone was overwhelmed.

No one had expected a Limit Douluo would choose to leave this world in such a way. It was simply unbelievable. Every life in this world seemed to conform to the will of the heavens.

The heavens bestowed the Qilin Douluo with a variant martial soul, yet he faced such a tragic end to his life.

He had suffered from too much emotional burden during his physical and mental growth which resulted in him becoming an extremist. It turned out to be a social problem as well.

Dai Tianling promulgated a series of decrees on the same night to improve the empire’s legal system so that cases similar to Tong Yu’s would be handled fairly in the future.

Tong Yu was conferred as the Hall Master of the empire’s Worship Hall. His conviction was dismissed and his reputation restored.

After all, he died atoning for his crimes. He was once the empire’s Limit Douluo, and he had not disgraced the Monster Academy.

The whole empire mourned the passing of a Limit Douluo. The fervor of the Battle of Five Gods waned a little for the three days.

The Tang Sect’s headquarters located in the Star Luo Empire.

Tang Wulin pushed the door open and exited to the corridor.

There were many people waiting along the corridor. The most conspicuous person was the number one man on the Star Luo Continent, the Holy Dragon Douluo. He was also known as the Monster Academy’s President, the Limit Douluo En Ci.

“How’s the situation?” asked En Ci eagerly as he took two steps forward when he saw Tang Wulin coming out.

“It’s under control. His life energy is extremely powerful. Similarly, my bloodline belongs to the divine beast. I’ve managed to cleanse all the destructive energy by removing it from his bloodline. We’ll need to wait and see if he can recover with his life energy. If not because he’s a Limit Douluo, I’m afraid even the presence of a true God won’t save his life.”

En Ci exhaled a long breath of relief. His gaze appeared complicated as he looked at Tang Wulin. “Thank you. I truly didn’t expect this to happen. I didn’t know that he would take such an extreme measure.”

Tang Wulin spoke, “He would still need to overcome his worries. I think we need to look for the child left behind by his lover. We can only relieve him of his worries by doing so. Otherwise, I’m afraid that he might condense the Qilin Pearl once again. Her Excellency, the Holy Spirit Douluo said that she won’t be able to help the next time this happens. The Qilin Pearl will extract his body’s essence. Actually, it’s useless when given to an ordinary person. The person will die immediately if he or she were to absorb it.”

En Ci spoke with a bitter smile. “He is overly stubborn. I’ve sent someone to look for the boy. However, their entire family moved to the Douluo Continent after the incident. It’s not easy to obtain information on them. I may be the cause of it. Since I was aware of the truth behind the incident, I was afraid that he would do something silly, so I compelled the family to leave. Subsequently, they moved to the Douluo Continent to be away from the Star Luo. I lost contact with them afterward. Many weird events happened thereafter. Actually, I found out from my investigation that the girl committed the heinous act because she was emotionally unstable at the time. Her newly-wedded husband had died in an accident. Tong Yu’s mother met her at the wrong time when she happened to be under much emotional stress. The person who saved Tong Yu’s mother was actually sent by the girl. She still had some kindness in her. It was genuinely a terrible mistake for her to break the legs of Tong Yu’s mother. Nonetheless, she did not deserve to die either.”

Tang Wulin spoke with a bitter smile, “The affairs of the world are not certain and revenge breeds more revenge. However, I believe the Qilin Douluo would have gained some insight after this horrendous experience. Most likely, he wouldn’t be obsessed anymore. You should advise him on these matters. I believe, with his cultivation base and experience, he would be receptive to your advice.”

En Ci nodded. “If he can pull through this time, I’ll certainly tell him that. Tang Sect Master, I’m so thankful for your kindness. Frankly, the empire has gone a little too far in organizing the Battle of Five Gods. Why don’t we postpone tomorrow’s fourth battle one more day? You must be exhausted today.”

Tang Wulin shook his head and said smilingly, “It’s fine. Besides, it’s good training for me. I anticipate meeting you in the final battle. It’s my honor to be able to spar against a Limit Douluo. I’m not afraid of losing the competition, but I hope to gain some experience from my engagement in the battle.
