The Legend of the Dragon King

Tang Wulin felt just like he did after completing the Dragon God Transformation with Gu Yuena. However, unlike the last time, this was not a temporary enhancement. Instead, his cultivation base actually improved.

Gu Yuena got up and said softly, “Let’s leave this place first.” As she said this, silver light flickered around her body as the spatial elements surged. At the same time, she lifted a hand and pressed on the bed. With a flash of silver light, they vanished from the bed at the same time.

A muffled grunt came from under the bed. After a long while, Dai Yun’er crawled out from it.

As this was her sleeping chamber, even when she crawled out from under her bed, there was no trace of dust on her. However, she had two great black circles on her eyes. The expression on her face was extremely strange as well. There was even a slight hint of terror.

She mumbled to herself, “Not human. They’re not human.” She could not help but shiver as if she was cold. She looked at her frail and beautiful body. No matter how she thought about it, she did not think that she could withstand it.

Was the man truly human?

She looked at the aftermath on her bed. At that moment, Dai Yun’er felt like weeping, but she had no tears.

She had racked her brains to come up with her ingenious plan, but she ended up being another woman’s wedding dress. At that moment, she would have loved to ram herself into a wall and die. However, she was also filled with a deep-seated fear of what would have come afterward. If she had been the woman that night, would she still be alive?

‘No wonder. It’s no wonder that he likes her and no other. They’re not human. Either of them!’

…

Silver light flickered. When they reappeared, Tang Wulin noticed with shock that he had arrived in a forest with Gu Yuena.

Their bodies were both completely covered in scales.

This was his first time seeing Gu Yuena covered in silver dragon scales. However, the attractive contours of her body were still perfectly visible.

Although they had a night of fun, Tang Wulin instantly felt as if his blood was set on fire again. He instinctively hugged her slender waist.

“Gu Yue…”

When Gu Yue felt his scorching hot breath, she immediately jumped in shock. She blushed and said, “Haven’t you had enough?”

“No, I won’t have enough even for a lifetime.” As a first-timer, after he had just recently tasted the wonders of their union, there was no way that he would not be tempted.

Gu Yuena gave him a soft punch. “Why were you with Dai Yun’er?”

Tang Wulin was slightly stunned. He was suddenly reminded of his situation last night. Frowning, he replied, “I have no idea! I clearly remember that I’d returned to the Tang Sect’s headquarters last night. Oh yeah, we were attacked by the Holy Spirit Cult last night. Our attackers were…”

He recounted the incident from the night before. When he reached the part where he returned to the Tang Sect’s headquarters to cultivate, he could not remember how he ended up in Dai Yun’er’s sleeping chambers. He even lost control of his emotions for a brief moment.

“She must’ve given you something to eat that made you that way. This Dai Yun’er is really…” When she thought about the fact that someone had deliberately planned to do something evil with this man whom she missed, Gu Yue could not help but roll her eyes at Tang Wulin.

However, this action of hers tingled Tang Wulin’s heart. His arm around her was beginning to misbehave again.

“Don’t move.” Gu Yuena grabbed his hand. She placed her head on his chest and felt his warmth.

“I can hear everything that Na’er has told you.” She sighed softly

Tang Wulin responded, “Have you awakened because of last night? Where’s Na’er?” Tang Wulin was just reminded of Na’er.

Gu Yuena raised her head, looking slightly lost as she stared at him. “Sometimes, even I don’t know if I’m Gu Yue or Na’er. Although I’m trying hard not to merge with her because I want her to continue to exist, we’re of one body after all. With the improvement in my cultivation base, we’ll still end up merging together. Last night, it seemed that we’ve merged large portions of ourselves already.”

“At first, I thought that if something happened to one of us, the other person would disappear completely. However, I don’t think that that’s the case now. After the merge last night, we seem to be co-existing. It’s only our memories that were merged.”

This stunned Tang Wulin. He was at a loss for words.

Gu Yuena continued, “She really likes you. I started liking you because of her influence in the beginning. Otherwise, everything that happened after that wouldn’t have taken place. However, she didn’t know that she really shouldn’t wake me up. I should’ve restrained my own envy as well. If I stay asleep, she might be able to make some decisions of her own. Maybe, you two can end up together.”

“What do you mean?” Tang Wulin looked at her with shock.

Gu Yuena lowered her head and did not look Tang Wulin in the eye. “If we become enemies one day, will you kill me?”

Without hesitation, Tang Wulin replied, “Of course not. How can we be enemies?”

A wry smile appeared at the edge of Gu Yuena’s lips. She hugged Tang Wulin tighter. “You don’t understand. What if, one day, I decide to destroy the entire world? Will you stay your hand against me even then?”

Tang Wulin said with a lost expression, “I don’t know. That day won’t come. You’re a kind person. Why would you destroy the world? You’re not with the Holy Spirit Cult.”

Gu Yuena took a deep breath and pushed Tang Wulin away gently. “There are some things that must be done even if we don’t want to. There are also some tasks that must be done no matter what. Wulin, one day, you’ll understand why I’m in so much pain. Since I’m awake, I still have to carry the responsibility that is mine. This is one of the parks within Star Luo City. Leave Star Luo as soon as you can. I can feel that the war is near.”

A silver radiance rippled softly on her beautiful body. Only the Golden Dragon King’s reverse scale suspended before her neck was flickering with golden brilliance.

“Don’t go!” Tang Wulin took a step forward and wanted to grab her. However, Gu Yue shook her head mournfully toward him. Her body started to fade. “With what we had last night, I have no more regrets. Wulin, I love you.”

The silver radiance collapsed into itself. The space warped, and in the blink of an eye, Gu Yuena vanished without a trace.

Looking at the empty space before himself, the hands that once hugged her body was now only hugging air. A great sense of loss replaced the feelings of happiness he felt just moments ago.

‘Why are she and Na’er being so secretive? What burden are they carrying upon their shoulders? It must be related to the Spirit Pagoda somehow, but I’m now the Tang Sect’s Sect Master. I’m Shrek Academy’s Sea God Pavilion’s Pavilion Master. Can’t I protect them?’

‘Why must they leave me?’

An intense pain invaded his heart. Tang Wulin could not help but throw a punch into the air.

“Boom!” a deep sonic boom was heard. His punch had created a black hole with a diameter more than a meter wide in mid-air. The incredible suction force pulled on Tang Wulin so strongly that he stumbled forward.

‘My power?’ Tang Wulin quickly stabilized his own body and looked at his own fist with shock.

This was not something that he was able to do before this! He hastily focused his spirits and looked into himself. He observed his own Golden Dragon King’s seals.

The remaining six seals after the twelfth were still intact. However, his body had experienced some strange changes again. His golden meridians, bones, and internal organs were covered with a faint nine-colored radiance. What shocked him more was his soul core.

His soul core had enlarged to twice its original size. His dense soul power liquified completely, but the stranger thing was that his soul core was flowing upward like a reversed waterfall. It connected with his sea of spirit. Upon closer inspection, he could feel that there seemed to be another soul core within his sea of spirit. It was much smaller than his original soul core, but it was still capable of communicating with him.

He knew what a second soul core meant. This was the mark of a Hyper Douluo! It was also a path that must be taken if he wanted to become a Limit Douluo.
