At this very moment, a big and strong-arm caught him. En Ci raised his head to look as he saw his disciple’s determined eyes.
“Teacher.”
En Ci tapped Long Yue’s palm and displayed a forlorn smile on his face. “After wearing the halo for so long, I’m sometimes restricted by it as well. It’s true that this is painful for me, but at this moment I think I feel more relaxed as well. I’ve lost this match. There are no objective reasons, losing is losing. The future belongs to you young people. Follow his footsteps closely, he’ll be your lifelong target.”
After he said this, En Ci’s steps regained their firmness and he strode away.
He was a Limit Douluo after all. He was the jade pillar that supported the empire’s skies, and the purplish-golden column that fortified the empire’s seas.
Long Yue looked at his teacher’s receding back and turned around. He looked towards the center of the competition stage, at the young man who was holding two spears high. He suddenly drew a deep breath. He had to work harder.
The Battle of Five Gods had ended.
The Star Luo Empire did not suppress any reports of Tang Wulin’s victory in the Battle of Five Gods this time.
Before the final match, practically every report said that Tang Wulin was a proud son of the heavens.
For a time, Tang Sect’s fame peaked in the entire Star Luo Empire.
When Tang Wulin returned to the resting area, he received a soul call from the Holy Spirit Douluo. Yali only said one sentence. “I’m proud of you.”
Even when she was in seclusion to stabilize her realm, she had watched this final match. She had also seen how Tang Wulin raised Tang Sect’s and Shrek’s glory to its highest.
This was not a mere victory. More importantly, this was the succession of the next generation. Just as the Holy Dragon Douluo En Ci had said, the future world belonged to the rising generation of young people.
Tang Sect’s headquarters was decorated with lanterns and streamers. It had been transformed into a sea of cheers.
When Tang Wulin returned to Tang Sect’s headquarters, he was received by a surge of cheers that sounded like howling mountains and roaring seas. The Smiley Face Douluo waved his big arm. There would be a celebratory feast tonight, and they would not adjourn until everyone was drunk.
They had forgotten the last time when Tang Sect’s Star Luo Empire headquarters was this lively. The current headquarters was also occupied, many disciples were from other cities and they were an exceptionally large group. The Smiley Face Douluo had still chosen the highest-priced package for their celebratory dinner and booked the classiest hotel in the entire Star Luo City.
That amount of money meant nothing. Tang Wulin had won. This meant that they did not have to reduce the selling price of military goods. In fact, it would be increased by ten percent. When they added everything together, that would be an increase of twenty percent! That was an astronomical figure.
Money did not mean much. The important part of the deal was that they could exchange huge amounts of resources with the Star Luo Empire.
Night came. Tang Wulin was sitting silently inside his room.
As the most important person of the night, he had drunk a lot of wine. They were all tributes from the Tang Sect disciples. He practically entertained all of them.
However, he did not let the alcohol affect him. He discharged the alcohol with his soul power.
He was glorious today and he was filled with pride in that instant. However, he still gradually calmed down as the feeling of pride subsided.
Today’s battle had opened his eyes to the difference between himself and a Limit Douluo-ranked expert. If his opponent was not the Holy Dragon Douluo En Ci today and was another Limit Douluo who did not possess a dragon-type martial soul, he would not stand a chance.
It appeared as if he had won, but he clearly knew how great the difference between them was.
However, he was especially delighted about the awakening of his Blood Golden Dragon Domain.
After his three-word battle armor’s domain had awakened, it could be said that his battle armor was finally completed. It was a process that must be carried out. With Tang Wulin’s insightful activation of it, there was no doubt that he could amplify his battle armor domain’s effects to the greatest level. Also, only a battle armor that was forged in the way he forged it could be activated in such a way. Otherwise, any other ordinary three-word battle armor could not possibly withstand the terrifying energy impact. Once the battle armor was damaged, the pain would be too deep for tears.
‘Did you see the match too?’ In Tang Wulin’s mind, Gu Yuena’s silhouette surfaced.
Whenever he thought that she was nearby, he could not help but have a faint smile on his face.
Tang Wulin sat cross-legged on the bed. He closed his eyes and summarized the gains and losses he experienced throughout the Battle of Five Gods. When he defeated En Ci in the final moments during today’s match, his blood essence had suddenly surged. It had undergone sublimation and a substantial change.
This was a phenomenon brought about by his five consecutive victories and the people cheering him as a legend in the Battle of the Five Gods. With the powerful momentum, Tang Wulin’s soul power had directly increased by two ranks. More importantly, his Body Sect’s Innate Secret Technique was completed!
Throughout this trip, his breakthroughs came quicker than he had expected. Tang Wulin’s initial goal was to be at the edges of eight rings when he returned. However, his soul power was now at rank-83. Also, the improvement in his strength was not as simple as an increase in his soul power.
Tang Wulin had a plan in his heart. After they returned to the federation, if the situation there was stable he would go into seclusion for some time. He wanted to learn Heaven Refinement from Zhen Hua.
With the improvement in his cultivation base and the formation of his spiritual domain, he had mastered Soul Forging to perfection. It was time he attempted Heaven Refinement. He had to make preparations for the crafting of four-word battle armors for himself and his companions.
Tang Wulin clearly knew that it was too difficult for him to rebuild Shrek with his own strength alone. However, things would be different if all the Seven Shrek Monsters could become four-word battle armor masters.
Currently, there was only one Divine Craftsman in the entire world. Also, crafting a four-word battle armor greatly damages the Divine Craftsman’s blood essence. Hence, Zhen Hua could not keep crafting them. Tang Wulin’s blood essence was practically ten times the volume of Zhen Hua’s. If he could become a Divine Craftsman, he could naturally produce more four-word battle armors. When that time came, Tang Sect and Shrek Academy would truly benefit from it.
He had grown a lot throughout these trips to Dou Spirit and Star Luo Empires. His thoughts had become more orderly as well. The goal he set for himself was simple. He wanted to break through to a higher rank in the near future. He wanted to make his companions into four-word battle armor masters.
Once all seven of the Shrek Seven Monsters were four-word battle armor masters, they would possess the power to fight with anyone.
At this time, he gave himself a timeframe for his plan, five to ten years. He must get it done within five to ten years.
Based on their current cultivation speed, everyone should be at the rank of a Title Douluo in five years’ time. Ordinary Title Douluos would not be able to master a four-word battle armor. The basic was for one to be a Hyper Douluo. However, the requirement for them would be lower. The other problem they had to solve was some technical issues in crafting the four-word battle armors.
When they return from their current trip, everyone would surely be able to become three-word battle armor masters. Next, they would strive towards possessing four-word battle armors.
Tang Wulin had won the Battle of Five Gods. This victory had a far-reaching implication. Not only did it influence their situation in the Star Luo Empire, but the news of this would also surely impact the situation in the federation and the Dou Spirit Empire as well.
Now that he had won the Battle of Five Gods, many who still had doubts will now have to consider what changes would he bring in the future if he truly becomes a Limit Douluo.
Tang Wulin understood that he was also in danger at times like this. This was because his enemies would also see this point and consider the same question. What would they do once he matures?
However, he felt no fear in his heart right now. He was focused on moving forward. The responsibilities that he shouldered were never meant to be carried across smooth seas.
Star Luo Empire’s palace.
Dai Tianling sat alone in his study. His eyes were shut tight.
Of course, he was not asleep. He was pondering.
Things had happened too suddenly. When they lost the final match, he was slightly dumbfounded. That was an outcome that he had never expected.
In his original imaginations, he had intended to tie Tang Wulin to this warship with this opportunity. However, he never thought that Tang Wulin would unexpectedly win the Battle of Five Gods.
After the competition ended, sounds of dissent could be heard among the imperial officials. There were already some who were starting to question the need to have a Battle of Five Gods with Tang Sect in the first place. They questioned why did the empire set itself against Tang Sect through this platform. They questioned why did the empire not work together with the Tang Sect in secret.
The current royal family was different from the one ten thousand years ago. The emperor was no longer a dictator. The voices of the officials mattered just as much. If he was deemed fatuous and incompetent, he might even be impeached.
Naturally, this would not actually happen. However, the impact of this incident was too negative. Tang Wulin had raised Tang Sect’s name to an all-time high whereas the empire had taken on the role of the loser.
Now, Tang Wulin was the legend of a generation and the people’s idol. Hence, as the perpetrator of the Battle of Five Gods, as the emperor, he had to bear all the consequences.
