Chapter 1514: You’ve Got Bad Breath…
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Tang Wulin named the seven-colored radiance as the ‘Seven-colored Law’.
Tang Wulin noted that his cultivation method was correct. His biggest issue was that he had no idea how to absorb the Law energy. Now that he discovered the Forbid All Laws, Dragon Emperor Break, he could exercise control over the Law energy, utilize and absorb it when his soul core, Dragon Core, and sea of spirit were fused as one.
Apart from the elevation of his sea of spirit, there was also the tiny soul core which appeared in his sea of spirit. It was only an illusory presence earlier, but it had a solid form now. Although it was just the size of a bean, it was still better than nothing. Tang Wulin felt his soul power remained the same but it had become purer than before.
‘I needed the stress after all. I must set myself an even higher goal now! I need to look ahead to continue my elevation.’
Consciousness returned to Tang Wulin as he gradually awakened from his meditation.
The sense of heaviness all over his body earlier was swept away. Apart from feeling hungry, he felt an indescribable comfort all over his body.
He had a stronger belief which was the biggest advantage brought about by the elevation of his abilities. It also strengthened his confidence into cultivating with more effort.
‘Gu Yue, wait for me. I’ll surprise you with my abilities one day. I’ll be by your side in all your future endeavors.”
In the meditation room.
Gu Yuena opened her eyes slowly. The corners of her lips cracked into a faint bitter smile, “Wulin, I really don’t want you to become more powerful anymore. You should know that when you’re powerful enough, your final opponent is going to be…”
The round-robin match continued. Just like how Tang Wulin completed his first round without a hitch, Qiangu Zhangting defeated his opponent with ease as well. So did Lan Fozi from the fourth group.
The scenario of an unexpected winner rarely appeared in the round-robin match stage. The first round took five days. A ranking sequence was added to every group’s name list. The contestants who lost in the first round would be ranked last, while those who won would have top rankings.
Many analyses of the battle between Tang Wulin and Li Weisi were published after the competition. Many people thought that it was a lucky victory for Tang Wulin. At the same time, there were also specially-appointed people who interviewed Li Weisi after the competition. Li Weisi remained silent and refused to disclose the true situation of the battle, but he mentioned that he had lost in a justified manner.
However, Tang Wulin’s overall forecast rank was not elevated despite his victory in the first round of the Joust For A Spouse Festival. On the contrary, his rank dropped. After all, he vomited blood that day. Moreover, he displayed a weak physical condition. Who could say whether he was capable of recovering within just a few short days?
Tang Wulin meditated for three days. After his body healed, he continued to practise his Heavenly Refinement. The best cultivation method for him was the Heavenly Refinement. At the same time, he also engaged in the elemental law to get a deeper understanding of the Dragon Emperor Forbidden Law which he had improved upon.
The first move of the Forbidden Law was the Dragon Emperor Break but it was definitely not the only move. Tang Wulin did not know when he would be able to comprehend the second move.
It was competition day for group number three. Tang Wulin arrived at the Mingdu Coliseum on the dot. He was neither early nor late.
He waited at the rest area. According to the schedule today, he would be the second contestant in the competition today so he need not rush.
In the rest area, all the ten contestants of group number three were present. Group number three was scheduled to be in the morning while the afternoon competition would be taken by group number four.
Qiangu Zhangting sat boldly on one side of the room with his eyes closed while the rest were seated at different locations of the room. There were more than ten people in the rest area at present. In fact, there were eleven. There was a contestant who belonged to group number four. It was none other than Lan Fozi.
Tang Wulin was the last contestant from group number three to enter the area. As soon as he entered the rest area, he caught everyone’s attention. Even Qiangu Zhangting opened his eyes.
Tang Wulin’s appearance had returned to normal at present. He looked to be no different from before. He raised his chin with a slight arrogance. He then calmly looked for a place to take a seat.
He saw Lan Fozi, no doubt. However, he pretended not to notice her as he recalled Yali’s words. He imitated Qiangu Zhangting instead, by having a shut-eye to rest his spirit.
Lan Fozi gnashed her teeth and was infuriated upon seeing Tang Wulin’s behavior. Yet, she did not approach him either. ‘B*st*rd, don’t you even know how to acknowledge someone?’
How could she know that it was Tang Wulin’s intention to avoid her? In his lifetime, he had met other girls apart from Gu Yuena. For example, there were Wu Siduo and Dai Yun’er. Dai Yun’er had also sacrificed a lot for him. There was utterly nothing else he could give her because there was already Gu Yue in his heart since earlier. Tang Wulin preferred to remain passive and refused to give Lan Fozi any chance at all for a misunderstanding. He had even stopped himself from thinking about Lan Fozi’s true identity.
“The contestants for the first round may enter the arena now,” reminded a staff.
Two contestants from group number three stood up simultaneously. They glanced at one another before they walked outside. There was no point in them greeting each other since the competition was the top priority. They were competitors after all.
Meanwhile, Qiangu Zhangting stood up and walked to the sofa opposite Tang Wulin. He then took a seat without Tang Wulin noticing.
“You’re Yu Longuye, right? Hello, I’m Qiangu Zhangting.”
Tang Wulin opened his eyes. Even Tang Wulin had to admit that his love rival was outstanding in his appearance.
Qiangu Zhangting was dressed in a white casual outfit. There were no accessories on him and his sleeves were rolled up to his elbows. He looked refreshed and neat, and appeared to be in his twenties.
A stream of faint radiance flashed once in his eyes before vanishing completely. Qiangu Zhangting spoke, “It must be fate that we are grouped together. What’s your assessment of our group?”
Tang Wulin spoke indifferently, “It’s not going to stop me from winning.”
Qiangu Zhangting was stunned for a moment. ‘What do you mean by not going to stop you from winning?’ Tang Wulin was obviously saying that no one in his group was capable of defeating him.
Qiangu Zhangting’s lips cracked into a faint cold smile. “Oh? Is that so? Let’s wait and see then. I only hope that you won’t be weak and sickly. If I were to defeat you, I hope you’d be in your best condition, so it wouldn’t be taken as an excuse. I don’t wish for you to have any regrets in the future.”
“Oh.” answered Tang Wulin in just a word.
Qiangu Zhangting was not affected by his opponent’s arrogance. The smile on his face grew wider. He stood up and walked to Tang Wulin’s side. He bent over and spoke in a soft whisper, “Do you know that Na Na is my woman supposedly? No one is allowed to take her away from me. No one, not even you!”
“You have bad breath.” Tang Wulin tilted his head back in disgust. He deliberately spoke aloud to catch everyone’s attention.
“Hehe!” Lan Fozi could not refrain herself from giggling. Tang Wulin was truly a detestable person. More accurately, both of them were despicable. It would be a rather interesting event if these two abominable boys were to fight each other.
At present, Qiangu Zhangting burned with rage. He suddenly stood up and looked toward Tang Wulin with a burning gaze. Then, he pointed his index finger at Tang Wulin before he turned around and left. He refused to even wait in the rest area.
As he gazed at Qiangu Zhangting’s departing figure, Tang Wulin spoke indifferently, “Could it be that his parents never taught him not to point his index finger at others? It’s very rude and it reflects a family’s negligence.”
The rest of the people in group number three gazed at one another, but no one spoke.
Every young powerhouse had some arrogance. A few displayed their arrogance while there were a few who kept it inside. However, arrogance did not equal foolishness! How could anyone on the scene not be aware of Qiangu Zhangting’s family background? To call him a product of family negligence was equivalent to reprimanding the current Spirit Pagoda’s Pagoda Master, no?
Yu Longyue was either a bold or foolish person!
Tang Wulin did this intentionally. For some unknown reason, he became enraged as soon as he saw Qiangu Zhangting. He felt as if his heart was burning, especially when he thought of how Qiangu Zhangting and Gu Yuena were together in the Spirit Pagoda.
Even Tang Wulin did not realize this was actually how it felt to be jealous.
Lan Fozi also stood up and left. This was because the competition had already begun. Tang Wulin was about to appear in the arena for the next round.
Lan Fozi could see that Tang Wulin’s injuries were already healed when she saw Tang Wulin today. Using her spiritual power, she sensed vaguely that Tang Wulin appeared different. It felt as if there was a faint jewel-like radiance on his entire body. It was very weak, and only those with a Spirit Domain spiritual cultivation base would be able to notice the difference.
The first round took longer than he expected. It was thirty minutes before Tang Wulin was called upon to prepare for his match.
A tall and burly youth walked to face Tang Wulin, and he uttered a few words solemnly.
It was impossible for anyone not to have a solemn expression upon encountering a Title Douluo-ranked powerhouse like Tang Wulin!
