The Legend of the Dragon King

However, Tang Wulin did not resent her when he thought about how Lan Fozi was brave enough to save him during the crucial moments. At least, she was a maiden who showed her gratitude. So, her character was still impressive. ‘Hmm, if I were to describe her behavior simply, ‘naive’ and ‘adorable’ would be most suitable. However, I can’t tell if she is a sweet person though.’

Tang Wulin’s electronic card was scanned to confirm that his total score exceeded sixty points to be eligible for a number. He then waited for the results of the draw. After the test, which had been ongoing for a few days ended, Tang Wulin participated in the elimination match next.

The first round of the Joust For A Spouse Festival was considered completed.

Tang Wulin returned to the Blacksmith’s Association upon leaving the Mingdu Coliseum.

He had not expected to encounter so many tests which were mere formalities in his eyes. His encounter with Qiangu Zhanging made sense, but it was an unforeseen event for him to encounter Lan Fozi. She had the spiritual cultivation base of Spirit Domain. Although she was not much older than he was, she was similarly a Title Douluo. He had not heard of her in spite of her genius. Naturally, it made him curious.

On the other hand, his discovery of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform was more important.

If it was true that the Ten Thousand Beast had such a powerful effect, then it would be immensely shocking to the soul masters’ world. All the queries about the Spirit Pagoda earlier would soon stop after the Ten Thousand Beast Platform was made known to the public. On the other hand, it was something that Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect found it difficult to accept.

Tang Wulin could already prove that the destruction of Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect were directly related to the Spirit Pagoda. There was a bloody feud between them. Many people from Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect had perished in the great catastrophe and the Spirit Pagoda was responsible for it.

The more powerful the Spirit Pagoda was, the more difficult it would be to deal with them! Since their influence in the Federation had grown with the support from the government and military, their status in the Federation had grown stronger and was almost like fortified iron.

While Tang Wulin was in the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, he discovered the Azure Oxpython and the Titan Giant Ape. Tang Wulin had keen observation skills. He clearly heard the Spirit Pagoda’s staff mention the ‘forbidden zone’ when he was coming out from the Ten Thousand Beast Platform. Coincidentally, the place where he encountered the Azure Oxpython and the Titan Giant Ape was in the forbidden zone. If this was the case, then the Ten Thousand Beast Platform was not completely under the Spirit Pagoda’s control. The plane was not created by the Spirit Pagoda, albeit it was discovered by them.

Tang Wulin’s speculation of the Azure Oxpython and the Titan Giant Ape’s identities was most probably correct. It would be a great thing for him if it was indeed the case.

Tang Wulin’s emotions changed. After he gathered his thoughts, he immediately used his soul communicator’s encoded channel to explain the matter to the Heartless Douluo and the Amorous Douluo. Without a doubt, the Ten Thousand Beast Platform would be the investigation target for the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy.

Tang Wulin condensed his spirit to focus on the experiences gathered and lessons learned from the battle in the Ten Thousand Beast Platform. The Azure Oxpython and the Titan Giant Ape were truly powerful! If it were a battle of one-on-one, Tang Wulin could probably retreat to safety. However, in the battle of two-on-one, he did not stand a chance at all.

It mattered not whether it was the green-blue giant claw of the Titan Giant Ape, Tang Wulin felt completely incapable before the enemies.

In any case, who had the silver giant claw and was behind the powerful voice? Why did he help Tang Wulin and his comrades over and over again?

All sorts of questions lingered in his confused mind. It seemed like the Joust For A Spouse Festival was getting more interesting.

The tests for the Joust For A Spouse were carried out smoothly. According to the statistics, the participants spent the longest time at the eighth round out of all the tests. On the other hand, the soul masters who walked out from the Ten Thousand Beast Platform in the eighth round soon discovered that they had undergone changes.

Each soul master’s spirit soul underwent different levels of advancement depending on the length of time the soul master had spent in the Ten Thousand Beast Platform. The weaker the spirit soul’s initial ability, the more obvious the effect.

A few days later, more than a hundred soul masters’ yellow spirit souls had evolved into purple spirit souls. The entire soul masters’ world was in a clamor. The Spirit Pagoda seized the opportunity to promote the Ten Thousand Beast Platform to the soul masters.

The Ten Thousand Beast Platform was a plane of spirit soul’s law!

The Spirit Pagoda explained to the public why the Ten Thousand Beast Platform was built. It was to increase the population of the soul beasts within the Ten Thousand Beast Platform such that the soul masters could acquire better spirit souls. The creation of man-made hundred-thousand year spirit souls had depended on the foundation of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform. The second phase of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform had already been completed and the enhancing effect of the plane was extremely obvious. The longer the time a person spent inside the place, the more evolved the person’s spirit soul would become. More importantly, there was no limit!

In other words, if a soul master could spend an arbitrarily long time in the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, the soul master could then elevate his or her spirit soul to the rank of a hundred-thousand years!

Of course, the process required a fairly long time. It gave hope to all the soul masters, especially those were stagnant at the bottleneck of cultivation! If the soul master’s spirit soul could evolve, it meant that the soul master’s ability could be elevated continuously such that the soul master had the opportunity to breakthrough the bottleneck.

The Ten Thousand Beast Platform was instantly the focus of the world’s attention.

At the same time, the Spirit Pagoda gave a series of explanations on the massive resources required to maintain the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, which included the supply of heaven and earth treasures and energy needed. As a result, the number of soul masters who could be accepted would be limited. The Spirit Pagoda had used the Joust For A Spouse Festival as a venue to set up the Ten Thousand Beast Platform for the first time to benefit the soul masters. The Spirit Pagoda had used up vast resources in the process. It was done in the hope that the soul masters would not query the Spirit Pagoda’s effort in the future nor think that the Spirit Pagoda would collude with some evil soul masters’ organization. There were some people who had ill intentions and were out to damage the Spirit Pagoda’s reputation.

As to when the Ten Thousand Beast Platform would be open to the public and what the fees charged would be, the Spirit Pagoda had yet to decide and make an announcement. For the time being, the organization would focus on the Joust For A Spouse Festival.

All related articles and reports were well-prepared and released simultaneously. As a result, the Spirit Pagoda’s reputation grew. There were fewer queries regarding their malfeasance. The Ten Thousand Beast Platform had become the center of attraction yearned by all the soul masters, especially those soul masters who could not participate in the Joust For A Spouse Festival. They were highly disappointed.

However, the Spirit Pagoda mentioned that there would be a limited number of openings for the Ten Thousand Beast Platform available to the public afterward. As of now, the Ten Thousand Beast Platform would continue with its operation and development. Hence, even more resources were required. Meanwhile, the Star Luo and Dou Spirit empires had imposed sanctions on the Spirit Pagoda for the supply of resources and continuous development of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform.

The Spirit Pagoda’s propaganda was directed at the Tang Sect. The Tang Sect was portrayed as a treasonous organization. The conflict between the Tang Sect and the Spirit Pagoda earlier had attracted much attention. Now that the Spirit Pagoda had a weapon of mass destruction like the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, it would seize the opportunity to spread its propaganda to suppress the Tang Sect a step further. They wanted to shut out the Tang Sect’s authority to speak.

The Joust For A Spouse Festival was considered a great success. Those who were discerning could tell that the so-called Joust For A Spouse Festival had ulterior motives. Nevertheless, most people saw the benefits of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform and the numerous rewards provided by the Spirit Pagoda. At present, no one questioned the Spirit Pagoda’s status in the soul masters’ world anymore.

Naturally, the members of the parliament who supported the Spirit Pagoda began to suppress their political opponents wantonly such that the Dove Faction’s voice was weakened further.

The Joust For A Spouse Festival continued precisely under such circumstances. The elimination match was about to begin next.

After the preliminary contest, fewer than half of the participants acquired more than sixty points. The majority of them were eliminated during the test. After all, the test was to examine the overall quality of those people. As for those who depended on just one ability, they were not qualified to compete in the festival
