The Legend of the Dragon King

Ling Zichen rolled her eyes at Tang Wulin. She walked to his front in long strides and scoffed coldly before going into the room.

Tang Wulin through a helpless expression at Zang Xin who replied with a look of comfort.

By the time Tang Wulin and Ling Zichen walked out from the Tang Sect’s headquarters, it was dark outside. However, they were not planning to spend the night in Heaven Dou City. They would return to Shrek Academy the same night and began the preliminary stage of the preparation work.

They say ‘time and tide wait for no man’. There was no time for them to procrastinate anymore.

Liu Jingyun drove the soul car, but he had a constant feeling that something about the atmosphere was off. Compared to the situation when they were heading to Heaven Dou City, Ling Zichen seemed to be acting colder. On the other hand, Tang Wulin looked to be deep in thoughts. He had no idea what was on Tang Wulin’s mind, but there seemed to be an additional wisp of estrangement in the relationship between Tang Wulin and Ling Zichen.

Were they quarrelling? Liu Jingyun dared not inquire in any case.

The soul car gradually accelerated as it drove on the highway. Liu Jingyun focused all of his attention on driving and did not look at the situation in the backseat anymore. He did not want to overthink the relationship between Tang Wulin and Ling Zichen. Deep inside, he was hoping that they would be able to form some sort of deeper connection. That way, he could be more relaxed around Ling Zichen in the future.

All of a sudden, Liu Jingyun felt as if he was in a trance. The soul car was at a constant temperature, but the piercing cold sensation seemed to radiate from his bones.

Could it be that this was triggered by some sort of emotional fluctuation from the people behind him? This was the first thought he had on his mind. However, he soon felt that no, that was not the case.

Just as he was about to warn his passengers, a blazing hot sensation suddenly radiated from his back. The soul car shook abruptly, and a gust of wind blew into the car through the roof, forcefully decelerating the vehicle at once. However, he managed to swerve without causing losing control.

The night was lit by golden radiance. With that golden glow illuminating the path ahead, Liu Jingyun could finally see that the area in front of them had turned gray.

A figure walked slowly toward them from the large stretch of gray. Meanwhile, Tang Wulin’s entire body was covered with golden scales as he floated through the sky. He gazed into the distant colorless region where the man was coming out from.

It was not his first time encountering this person. Tang Wulin had been jolted awake long before Liu Jingyun noticed that something was off. He had used his Golden Dragon Claw to tear open the car’s roof and charged into the sky. He did not attempt to escape because he would never leave Liu Jingyun and Ling Zichen behind. Moreover, since the opponent was here, he must have been well-prepared.

Tang Wulin had been careless because the opponent had disappeared for such a long time. In addition, the distance between Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect was the same distance as the original Shrek City and Heaven Dou City. Tang Wulin did not expect that the opponent would choose to make a move at this place with so many Limit Douluos overseeing both locations.

Nevertheless, the opponent was here, and there was no doubt that he was here for him.

“Underworld King Douluo Ha Luosa!” shouted Tang Wulin in a deep voice.

Yes, the man walking out from the colorless world, with his entire body covered in crystal-like gray battle armor, was the Underworld King Douluo Ha Luosa. He was a genuine quasigod-ranked Limit Douluo.

With every step he took, the surrounding gray hue turned clearer. Clad in his armor, he looked just like he was taking a stroll out from the world of the dead. The Underworld King Sword in his hand emitted a faint ghastly glow. It was as if the crystal-clear sword was carved out of a gray crystal.

The last time Tang Wulin encountered the Underworld King Douluo, he was but a Soul Douluo. He did not even manage to struggle when this person confronted him back then. On the other hand, it felt completely different this time.

That being the case, because Tang Wulin’s cultivation base had reached a certain level, he was able to perceive the power of Ha Luosa even more clearly.

It felt exactly like the first time he fought against the abyss in the Blood God Army’s abyssal passage. Tang Wulin was a Hyper Douluo and was even capable of challenging an ordinary Limit Douluo. Nevertheless, he still felt incomparably weak when he was confronted by the Underworld King Douluo Ha Luosa.

He was well aware that this was a man that was close to ascending to Godhood.

Tang Wulin was not that concerned about his own safety because he had the fail-safe which would allow him to escape. As a result, he appeared unusually calm.

In fact, he was actually rather excited to be encountering the Underworld King Douluo Ha Luosa. He was constantly feeling like he had hit a bottleneck in his cultivation recently. Under such circumstances, there was no other matter that would be more beneficial to his elevation than facing the pressure of a life and death situation. Thus, the first thought he had when he saw the Underworld King Douluo Ha Luosa was ‘It’s about time’.

Ha Luosa walked forward step by step. His gait appeared to be slow, but his Undeworld Hell seemed to be rising under the silent influence of his footsteps. When the Underworld Hell had fully manifested, he was like a God.

Just as Tang Wulin was sizing him up and down, he was also looking at Tang Wulin.

He finally understood the reason behind Spirit Pagoda’s numerous messages practically, beseeching him to intervene. The organization was paying a high price in exchange for him taking action once again.

Already the Tang Sect’s Sect Master and the Sea God’s Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy, this young man was growing at far too rapid a pace.

Ha Luosa was a Limit Douluo-ranked evil soul master, but he was also a legend in the world of soul masters. He was able to elevate to his current cultivation base in a short period of time. It was definitely not something that could be achieved by depending just on his natural talent. There was also his level of perception, hard work and many other attributes that led to this achievement.

It had not been a long time since he last saw this young man. To his surprise, the opponent had gone from a Soul Douluo to a Hyper Douluo.

Floating in midair, Tang Wulin felt like the blazing hot sun. He was enticing a scorching blood essence fluctuation that suppressed his Underworld Hell slightly.

It was even more terrifying that he could see potential in Tang Wulin. He could not estimate how far this young man could go in the future.

On the Douluo Continent, it was a given that a quasigod had reached perfection, but he predicted that Tang Wulin would be able to go beyond such perfection. He could not help feeling an uncontrollable bloodlust building inside him.

Every message relayed from the Spirit Pagoda had expressed the organization’s fear of Tang Wulin over and over again. Furthermore, they repeatedly mentioned that if this young man was not finished off as soon as possible, he could possibly become the next Atlas Douluo. By then, it would result in a tremendous effect on the Spirit Pagoda as well as the Holy Spirit Cult.

Upon analysis, the Underworld King Douluo still came over personally, despite the Holy Spirit Cult being busy with important operations. He had come to specifically settle this issue before it could be troublesome in the future.

They would never allow another Atlas Douluo to exist.

At last, Ha Luosa stopped walking when he was about one hundred meters away from Tang Wulin’s soul car. He raised the Underworld King Sword in his hand slowly.

“Today is not your lucky day, it seems,” said Ha Luosa indifferently.

Tang Wulin smiled. He used his Golden Dragon King Bloodline to resist the bone-piercingly bitter cold as he was confronted by the Underworld King Douluo’s exceedingly terrifying aura.

“No, I don’t think so. It’s my luck to be able to meet you at this moment.”

For some reason, Ha Luosa felt rather uneasy as he looked at Tang Wulin’s friendly smile.

At his rank, his instinctual sense for danger was extremely. As soon as he had an ominous feeling, he immediately made a move without the slightest hesitation.

He lifted his hands simultaneously and used the middle finger of his right hand to flick the Underworld King Sword. There was a crisp ‘ding’, and all the gray color in their surroundings suddenly surged and rolled outward like an enormous flower in bloom.
