The Legend of the Dragon King

Tang Wulin took two steps forward and placed himself before Yuanen Yehui and Xie Xie. “Dear seniors, I believe that there’s some kind of misunderstanding between all of you. I’m Yuanen’s friend. There’s a saying that a gentleman doesn’t resort to force. Since all of you are from the same clan, is there any need for us to use violence?”

The middle-aged man spoke in rage, “This is none of your business. She must come with us. Otherwise…”

The old man spoke in a deep voice, “Alright, don’t say anything else. Yuanen Yehui must go with us. There’s no room for further discussion. Yuanen, could it be that you’re planning to make your grandfather lay hands on you? Or do you think that just the few of you are capable of stopping me?”

Tang Wulin turned his head and looked toward her. He saw a dash of determination in her eyes.

This was definitely not the expression of a child throwing a tantrum and running away from her family. It was obviously the gaze of a person looking death calmly in the face!

“No. No one is allowed to take you away when I’m here.”

The middle-aged man that launched the first attack spoke with a deep voice, “Boy, you have a big mouth on you, huh?! I would actually like to have a taste of your abilities.”

“You’re truly a troublesome person.” A silhouette had already arrived in a flash diagonally without waiting for Tang Wulin’s reaction. The silhouette’s palm slapped the middle-aged man in a smooth and gentle manner.

Radiance shimmered on the middle-aged man’s body. His entire person became exceedingly still at once as he swung his fist in a seemingly slow manner and collided into the slapping palm.

“Poof.” There was a soft thud. The middle-aged man had a change of countenance all of a sudden. His body was pushed so hard to the side that he stumbled for two steps. Soon after, he felt as if the boundless ocean had appeared right in front of him. Overlapping layers of phantom palms transformed into mighty waves that crashed in his direction.

If those were just waves, he would have nothing to fear, but every phantom palm was spinning in a different direction. Some were spinning clockwise or anticlockwise while others were spinning sideways. This spiralling energy linked with one another and gave off a feeling that his entire body would explode at the slightest touch.

Even the old man had a shocked expression on his face upon witnessing such a method. He had already sensed Tang Wulin and Lan Fozi’s Title Douluo-ranked cultivation base earlier and he could also tell that the tremendous spiritual power they had unleashed had reached the Spirit Domain realm as well. Nevertheless, there was still some distance between a Title Douluo and a Limit Douluo, so he did not give it too much thought.

However, at that exact moment, everything happening before his eyes was completely different from what he had expected. Cultivation base was one thing, while actual fighting capacity was something else. This was not to say that no Title Douluo was ever capable of challenging a Limit Douluo. There was no doubt that the young man before his eyes was a prodigy.

The middle-aged man roared in rage. The first, third, and fifth soul rings on his body illuminated simultaneously. His average-looking physique suddenly swelled up, instantly transforming into a giant ape. The terrifying ape grew tall and muscular in a split second. It was the Titan Giant Ape martial soul.

Just by relying on his strong and ferocious physique, he had also thrown out dozens of punches instantaneously in an attempt to break the opponent’s attack by force.

However, the overlapping layers of phantom palms continued their unending spiral. His attack that landed into the vortex was rapidly digested and dissolved akin to a clay ox going into the sea. On the other hand, he could obviously sense that the soul power he used to protect himself was about to be torn apart when the vortex approached his body.

The middle-aged man could not care about everything else now. Golden radiance flickered once on his body as his human form transformed into a giant ape. A layer of golden radiance was added to his entire body. A sharp howl that sounded as if something was being torn apart was heard from his body continuously. He crossed his arms before his chest to protect himself, only then did he manage to block Lan Fozi’s strike.

This was the Titan Giant Ape’s martial soul avatar!

It had only taken one slap for Lan Fozi to cause such a ruckus. Everyone including Tang Wulin was shocked by her amazingly powerful attack earlier.

Yuanen Yehui’s Cloud Vortex Divine Punch was formidable, but judging purely from its spinning, it could not compare to Lan Fozi’s attack.

As she watched Lan Fozi’s overlapping layers phantom palms, Yuanen Yehui could not help thinking to herself, ‘If I were the one being targeted by that attack, what would I do?’

The middle-aged man fell back a few steps. The raging fire in his eyes had already turned to shock. Since when had the youths of today become so impressive? He was still a rank-93 Title Douluo after all, yet he was forced to retreat by the opponent’s strikes.

“Nothing much,” said Lan Fozi in disdain, but she did not pursue and attack anymore.

The old man had a change of expression. “Little boy, don’t you be having such a big mouth there. If my eldest son were here, you wouldn’t possibly stand a chance like this.”

Lan Fozi spoke in an unpleasant tone, “Alright, don’t be so full of yourself. You can have a go if you’re going to be so pigheaded. I hate big clans like yours the most, so full of rules and doctrines.”

The old man frowned and nodded slightly. “Alright, I can see clearly now.”

When he was uttering those words, he looked toward Yuanen Yehui. Then, he raised his hand and pointed at Lan Fozi’s direction.

The entire motion was simple and there was nothing fancy about it.

Lan Fozi scoffed coldly. The overlapping layers of vortex palm’s shadows bloomed once again. Additionally, it was obviously more powerful this time compared to before, to the point that even Tang Wulin could feel the terrifying energy contained in the vortexes despite standing behind Lan Fozi.

The most powerful part of Lan Fozi’s vortexes were their myriad of changes and their ability to complement one another. The act required great spiritual power to control it, and powerful abilities were used within it as well.

The old man seemed to be oblivious to all of it. Lan Fozi could see the finger that was pointing kept growing.

The vortexes enshrouded, spun and cut through everything in all directions to produce a powerful repulsive force through the collisions.

Lan Fozi was arrogant, but she was well aware that she was fighting a Limit Douluo-ranked powerhouse. Thus, she was putting everything into her attack without being reckless. As a result, she was especially cautious whenever she unleashed her attack, strategizing so that every vortex was detonated at the most suitable time.

Golden light shimmered faintly on the finger. The rings of vortexes spun upward to drag, cut, pull, lash and explode. All sorts of transformations were trying to force themselves on the finger.

However, Tang Wulin and Lan Fozi could see that the finger remained moving forward slowly just as such without any change of speed or direction. It remained unbudged despite the impact from the incoming vortexes.

“Bang!” The vortexes shattered in a split second. Lan Fozi stumbled back for seven or eight steps. She lost control of her body for a split second and sat on the ground.

The old man remained standing on the same spot and retracted the finger he had extended earlier.

“Evilness and wickedness shalt not move the Mainstay! Can you understand that?” said the old man indifferently.

Tang Wulin took a deep breath. At that exact moment, he had an intense thirst in his heart all a sudden. It was the thirst to battle against the old man before him.

The finger pointing earlier appeared to be such a simple movement, yet it shocked Tang Wulin so much.

There were no frills, tricks or soul skills whatsoever behind that finger of his. There were only his indomitable willpower and aura, pure strength and also incomparable conviction.

This was the most terrifying part of a true strength-type powerhouse’s direct hit! This was true vigilance.

There was no doubt that the Titan Giant Ape was a strength-type beast soul. The fact that this man before him could cultivate the Titan Giant Ape martial soul to Limit Douluo-rank signified that he had taken his strength to its limits. It was Tang Wulin’s first encounter with a strength-type Limit Douluo. Tang Wulin was also most skilled in strength, so how could he not be eager to have a try?

Lan Fozi was slightly stunned as she sat on the ground. She was uninjured, yet the feeling of losing control of herself had left her distraught.

Such terrifying strength. Lan Fozi would have no effect against such a force!

The so-called Mainstay seemed to be a different approach that achieved the same goal as the One with the Spin technique handed down in the family. Only that there was still a huge disparity between her current situation and that realm. On the other hand, the old man before her was already capable of doing so. He was truly very powerful!

Yuanen Yehui looked at the old man. She was well aware that every word he spoke and every strike he made earlier was done with her in mind. ‘Is…is he trying to teach me?’

“Let’s go. Leave with me.” The old man nodded at Yuanen Yehui. He then turned around and walked toward the darkness.

“Big Brother,” called out Xie Xie in desperation.

The old man was truly too powerful. Xie Xie could only count on Tang Wulin at this point.

“Please hold on a moment, Senior,” said Tang Wulin respectfully.

The old man had already won Tang Wulin’s respect just by displaying his exceedingly powerful abilities. Moreover, he was Yuanen Yehui’s grandfather after all.

The old man turned around. “You’re very impressive as well. You’re just too young. All of you from this generation are truly quite impressive. Yuanen is the continuation of my bloodline. She’s going to be fine leaving with me, but she must come along when I depart.”
