The Legend of the Dragon King

Although Tang Wulin kept his eyes shut, he kept sensing the changes in Lan Fozi. When she started cultivating, Tang Wulin could not help but be filled with awe. Her emotions were unstable before this, but once she entered her cultivation state, she quickly returned to normal as she calmed down. This was just as expected of a person who was capable of cultivating her spiritual power to the Spirit Domain realm.

Also, because he had checked Lan Fozi’s body before this, he could sense that Lan Fozi’s cultivation base’s course was completely different from his when she cultivated. It was as if she was traversing on another path. When she started cultivating, Tang Wulin could clearly feel the water element in the air swarming toward her. Waves of her spiritual power also appeared, although they were still weak because of her recent injuries. Nevertheless, they had a unique rhythm about them. It seemed like a special spiritual power cultivation method.

As she cultivated her spiritual power and soul power at the same time, Lan Fozi gave the feeling that her body and heart had returned to their purest forms. She used her unique method and was also displaying her powerful inner strength.

She appeared to be only slightly older than he was. Hence, she must have gone through many hardships to reach the stage at which she was at. From the might of Lan Fozi’s explosive force when she fainted from the poison, Tang Wulin was not completely confident that he would defeat her if they went at it one-on-one. However, it seemed that she lacked combat experience and that must have been her shortcoming.

Tang Wulin spread his spiritual power out as he focused his spirits to look inward. As he cultivated, he kept an eye on the changes around him.

Perhaps due to how powerful the explosion had been, he could not sense any soul beasts within the range of his spiritual power senses.

Six uneventful hours passed peacefully.

When Lan Fozi opened her eyes again, Tang Wulin sensed the change and opened his eyes to look at her.

Lan Fozi’s eyes were clear now, her aura restored. Her soul power cultivation base must have been largely replenished. However, her spiritual waves were not as powerful as the time when she went through the spiritual power test.

Lan Fozi sprang to her feet. She felt as if she was a new person. She looked at Tang Wulin, who was also getting up on his feet, and after a little hesitation, she said, “Thank you.”

Tang Wulin waved his arm, “There’s no need for thanks. Goodbye.” With swift movements, he dashed away into the forest, vanishing from her sight within seconds.

As she watched him leave, Lan Fozi instinctively placed a hand on her chest. She seemed to feel some faint and strange feeling. She could not help but mumble to herself, “Why am I feeling less disgusted by him? Shouldn’t all men be disgusting? That’s what mother used to tell me!”

Naturally, Tang Wulin did not know that Lan Fozi’s appraisal of him was “not disgusting”. Otherwise, he would have felt gloomier.

As he made his way through the vast forest and felt the dense life aura in the air, his mood perked up.

He encountered some other soul beasts along the way, but he felt like a traveler. When he met the soul beasts, he spent more time observing them. Even when he was attacked, he faced them calmly, not actually harming them.

The opportunity to encounter this many rare soul beasts, which only existed in legend, made him feel that this trip was not wasted.

He quickly put Lan Fozi out of his mind and continued onward. It was not long before Tang Wulin finally ran into trouble.

He had made his way through a huge patch of forest when he faintly felt the presence of a powerful aura. If it felt ominous to him, it meant that the aura’s owner was a creature that had the strength to threaten him.

Also, judging from the aura, it was clearly not a human being.

A thick mist hung in the air. There seemed to be deep mooing sounds in the mist. “Moo! Moo!”

What soul beast was this?

Feeling slightly curious, Tang Wulin slowly made his way into the mist. As the saying went, the skilled are often bold, although he felt threatened, he was still confident in his own strength. He knew that it would not be a problem for him to protect himself.

He quickly found the source of the mist. Not far in front of him was a lake. It wasn’t that big, only having a diameter of roughly a hundred meters. The lake’s water was a vivid, half-transparent green. Maybe the moisture level in the forest was too high and caused the mist to form here.

The mooing stopped, and faint ripples spread out across the lake’s surface. The sound seemed to have originated from the core of the lake.

Tang Wulin spread his spiritual power outward and put himself on alert. Bluish-purple electric light lingered on his body and he gathered his own aura as best he could. He hid behind a giant boulder and silently observed his surroundings.

‘What’s happening?’ Feeling some sudden changes in the surrounding air, Tang Wulin focused his eyes. The mist thickened, but the wind grew stronger.

‘But if there’s wind, wouldn’t the mist scatter?’

Just when this thought surfaced in his mind, a strong gale suddenly blew across the forest, accompanied by a deep mooing sound.

The gale started blowing toward him like a giant cage.

Tang Wulin felt a wall of wind pressing against him. The suffocating feeling made his gaze freeze. More frightful was that force of the wind within this mist was stronger than he expected. It felt more like a spatial force than mere wind.

He dared not dawdle, so he moved swiftly with his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track. He scouted his surroundings with his spiritual power to search for a gap in the gale, hoping to charge out of its range. At the same time, his Dragon Core beat vigorously and the scales on skin became clearer. He raised both arms and protected himself with his dragon claws.

“Bam!”After finally finding the gap after so much trouble, a surge of wind came at him again, colliding with his body as he charged forward.

Tang Wulin did not hesitate. He stomped on the ground with his right foot, and a deep explosion sound erupted with a dragon’s roar. It was the Golden Dragon Shakes the Earth!

To conceal his identity, he did not unleash the complete version of the Golden Dragon Shakes the Earth. Perhaps it was more aptly described as he restricted the effects of his Golden Dragon Shakes the Earth’s might under the ground. With his body as the center, a huge patch of soil shot upward. The intense shockwave and the gale collided with each other.

This reduced the pressure he felt greatly. He raised his arms and pushed out with his feet. His entire body shot forward like a cannonball.

Tang Wulin was extremely powerful, so the strength which he erupted with enabled him to break through pressure of the wind wall. It appeared as though he was about to make it.

However, at that very moment, a foul wind hit him. What Tang Wulin saw was a giant, blue-green shadow coming straight at him on a collision course.

“Boom!”

The instant Tang Wulin’s body was sent flying like a cannonball, there was only a single thought in his mind. ‘Why am I running into so many powerful beings after I entered this Ten Thousand Beast Platform?’

This was the case with the Golden Fur Lion Mastiff before this and with this unknown beast. Their strength gave Tang Wulin the feeling that they were unparalleled.

With this collision, his body was sent flying across the entire surface of the lake. The blow had catapulted him to the other end of the lake in the blink of an eye.

With the protection of his Dragon Air and his own body’s powerful physique, this collision did not cause any harm to him. However, it was not a pleasant experience. His arms were slightly numb, and he only managed to stabilize himself when his blood essence coursed within him.

As expected, not being able to utilize the abilities that he was most familiar with was a becoming troublesome. If he had unleashed Golden Dragon Soars to the Heavens when he was sent flying just now, he would not have been in such a sorry state.

The identity of the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan’s young master was a good cover story, it was also a hindrance. He could not use many of his skills, for example, his Bluesilver Emperor’s soul skills, or a divine weapon such as his Golden Dragon Spear.

His momentum diminished and he landed on the lake’s bank. At that point, a sudden intense feeling of danger filled his heart, so Tang Wulin did not hesitate. His wings spread out behind him, and with a great flap, he flew sideways.
