The Weeping Blood Douluo shook his head. “I’m the one who should apologize. His Majesty asked me time and again, so I had no choice. If there is a chance, I hope to learn about spear techniques from you. I should consider it an honor to have been defeated by the Atlas Divine Spear today. In the past, I wished to cultivate myself to the extent that I could challenge the Divine Spear one day. Yet, when the Atlas Douluo eventually became the greatest in the world, I understood that I wouldn’t have the chance in this lifetime. Little did I know that I would see his Atlas Divine Spear today, so my efforts were not wasted after all. It should be me thanking you for the opportunity.”
Tang Wulin spoke with a smile, “You’re being too courteous. I’ll certainly seek guidance from you if I have the chance.” It would definitely be beneficial for him to learn from a Sword God. Tang Wulin really hoped that he could spar against prospects like the Weeping Blood Douluo and Huang Zhengyang as it would be extremely helpful for his elevation.
‘I’ve won. I’ve won once again. A winning streak through all four battles. I wonder what His Majesty is thinking about this now.’
‘Tomorrow will be my final battle. I’m about to fight against the absolute best the Star Luo Empire has to offer. He is the most powerful warrior here.’
‘The winner and loser of this battle no longer matter. I’ve already brought honor to the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy as I was supposed to. It’s more important for me to enjoy the process of the battle right now.’
Tang Wulin’s lips cracked into a faint smile at the thought of this. He was filled with anticipation for tomorrow’s battle.
“Thank you.”
The Weeping Douluo left and the Holy Spirit Douluo walked in from the side. She arrived before Tang Wulin and gave him a gentle hug.
Tang Wulin heaved a sigh softly. “I should thank you. If not for the Pavilion Master, none of us would be here right now.”
Yali dried her tears and shook her head gently. “He would make the same choice if he were given another chance, and I wouldn’t stop him either. I was well aware that, if I were to dissuade him at the time, I might have been able to influence his decision, but I couldn’t do so.”
“In Shrek, we can lose our teachers, but we won’t lose our students. This is the academy’s rule. The teachers will always give their lives to protect every single disciple. This is because all of you are the future of Shrek and the future of the continent.”
Tang Wulin’s eyes reddened immediately upon hearing the Holy Spirit Douluo’s words.
That was true! Whether from the outer or inner court, not a single one of the Shrek Academy students died despite the terrifying destruction brought by the Godkiller-rank fixed soul ammunition. It was the teachers that had fallen rapidly, with only a few survivors remaining.
The Holy Spirit Douluo’s words were not just a motto as he could see the truth of them right before his eyes!
Tang Wulin inhaled a deep breath and spoke with deep gratitude, “Your Excellency, Shrek’s honor and legacy will never end. We will also give our lives to protect every student in the future. We will ensure that the glory of Shrek will never die.”
Yali raised his hand and caressed Tang Wulin’s face. “You can address me as ‘Aunty’. Yun Ming and I didn’t have any children, and we were supposed to take Na’er as our own daughter. Yet, she left without a trace. When you picked up the Atlas Divine Spear and shined its glory upon the world once again, I already took you as my child.”
Tang Wulin felt warm in his chest. “No, I don’t wish to address you as ‘Aunty’. My parents are already not around anymore. I wonder if I can acknowledge you as my adopted mother?”
The Holy Spirit Douluo was stunned for a moment, and soon, her tears that had just stopped began to stream down her face once again.
It was not that she was feeble, but because she found it difficult to control her emotions after seeing the Atlas Divine Spear on this day. Moreover, Tang Wulin’s words touched her heart at its core.
Both she and Yun Ming loved Na’er very much all those years ago. Due to her infertility, she once made a few attempts to find out if Na’er was willing to become their adopted daughter. However, Na’er used all sorts of methods to decline every time. Naturally, she and Yun Ming did not wish to impose anything else on Na’er.
Not being able to bear children had always been one of the greatest regrets in Yali’s heart. For so long, she had been in agony that she could not bear children for Yun Ming. How could she not be moved by Tang Wulin’s words?
Tang Wulin took two steps back and knelt before the Holy Spirit Douluo like he was worshipping a deity. He gave her three kowtows respectfully.
“Mother.”
In that fleeting moment, Yali was overcome by her emotions. She took one step forward and hugged Tang Wulin tightly while sobbing loudly.
Ever since Yun Ming’s passing, she felt like she had lost her soul. If not for Shrek’s revival, she would have already tried to join him.
She did not need to suppress her emotions because there were none for her to hide. Her heart had died with Yun Ming.
It was not that she did not want to cry in the past but that she found herself utterly incapable of doing so. Even though she was still alive, she felt dead inside like a walking corpse.
It was as if Tang Wulin’s call pulled her back to this world from another one. It was as if the colors were restored to her life, and she had hope once again. How could she possibly control her emotions in this situation?
As they embraced, there was another person besides the Holy Spirit Douluo covered in tears. A charming figure stood quietly outside the door, struggling to hold her feelings back.
‘Mother, I wish to call you ‘Mother’ too! But I can’t.”
With great effort, Gu Yuena kept herself from crying aloud. She swiftly turned around and ran away. She did not have the courage to stay, and she was worried that she would lose control of her emotions. The pain she felt in the depths of her heart was no less than Yali’s.
Tang Wulin did not stop Yali from holding him. Listening to her heavy sobs, he could not keep the tears from his eyes.
For quite some time, he sensed that Yali was in a deathly state of stillness, and he had been trying to figure out a way to awaken her vitality.
It was at that very moment, when he was overwhelmed with emotion, he spoke of his innermost thoughts and feelings without realizing. He was filled with gratitude. Her ability to cry signified that she had finally returned to the human world! Was there a greater gift than this?
Yali’s loud sobs transformed her aura. The pent-up emotional knots in her heart were finally loosening, while her emotions, soul power, and spirit were all fluctuating intensely.
Images began to appear around her. There were scenes of the two of them holding hands when they were young and of them touring the entire planet. There were also visions of him holding her hand as they soared through the sky over the sea.
The light surrounding them suddenly dimmed. Tang Wulin was astonished to discover that he had arrived in a holy world that was completely white in color.
Countless hymns resonated around him. He found that even his very soul was cleansed by the sound.
The images that had manifested grew larger while all Tang Wulin’s lethargy and negative emotions had vanished without a trace within the baptism of the holy fluctuation.
The hymn sounded clearer and clearer while the white world continued to expand. Tang Wulin felt as if he was standing in the sky looking down at the common people while they stared up at him in the heavens above them.
It was the arrival of a pure and holy angel. Was that not Yali precisely? Eight pairs of feathered wings spread out from her back and flapped gently. A holy halo surrounded her body before spreading outward into the surroundings.
Everything was being purified. The feeling exuded by the holy fluctuation was indescribable.
It was as if a door of shining gold had appeared in the sky. Though it was tightly closed, it felt as if one could head into another world by pushing the door open.
The eight pairs of wings flapped gently at her back, and Yali’s face was filled with tenderness. Her wings retracted and wrapped around Tang Wulin. Tang Wulin heard her voice as he was surrounded by holy energy. “I’ll use what remains of my life to protect you, my child. Brother Ming, we have a child now.”
She raised her hand slowly and used her right index finger to gently touch Tang Wulin’s forehead. In that split second, Tang Wulin felt as if his entire sea of spirit was boiling. He felt as if his massive sea of spirit was cleansed in just one moment. Instantly, the residual effect from the Blood Dragon Transformation vanished without a trace.
It was even more peculiar that his bones, meridians, dragon core and soul core all felt cleansed. It felt incredible.
His soul power had not elevated, but he could tell that he was different. His body had a feeling of crystal-clear purity.
It was God’s Blessing!
Tang Wulin was unaware that this was God’s Blessing bestowed upon him by Yali. The most powerful part of God’s Blessing was its ability to enlighten the user, making it nurture Tang Wulin’s ability to comprehend. Additionally, God’s Blessing was also effective in keeping one safe. This was almost as though she granted Tang Wulin with an extra life.
Holy Spirit Douluo could only use God’s Blessing once in her lifetime. Moreover, she could only use it when she was in this particular state.
