Soul Land 3: Legend Of The Dragon King

Chapter 1460

He had scored 30 points from 10 examinations, but this was nothing to be proud of. After all, there was only a single Tang Sect Master and Sea God's Pavilion Master on this entire planet.

Lan Fuozi was standing behind the soul tool, but he could still sense that the entire device had jumped slightly. On top of that, Tang Wulin had completed his examination faster than everyone else, and his expression had already changed as he watched Tang Wulin step down from the platform.

He was beginning to believe that Tang Wulin had received a perfect score for the first examination now.

He had received perfect scores for all three examinations thus far; what did this entail? It entailed that he was truly a formidable rival! Receiving a perfect score in one examination could be passed off as luck, but what about three in a row?

"Not bad, Brother!" He gave Tang Wulin a thumbs-up, but his expression had clearly become less enthusiastic.

All of the participants were potential rivals in love, and he had originally thought that he would be able to show off to Tang Wulin, but now, he could see that Tang Wulin was a serious rival.

Tang Wulin naturally wasn't going to pay any heed to Lan Fuozi's newfound animosity. However, he had also developed an interest in Lan Fuozi. Tang Wulin had never seen anyone enhance their own soul power as Lan Fuozi had done during the second examination. He couldn't describe what type of feeling that was, but such an explosive yet sustained boost in soul power was something that he had definitely never witnessed before. There weren't even any records of this in Shrek Academy.

This was not just a simple matter of disguising one's cultivation rank. Instead, it was a very peculiar change in Lan Fuozi's soul power.

"What was that soul power boost you received earlier? It seems to be very rapid yet also sustainable; is that a secret technique you've cultivated?" Tang Wulin asked.

A smug look appeared on Lan Fuozi's face. "That's not a secret technique; it's an innate talent that only those from my family possess."

However, a hint of wariness then appeared in his eyes. "Why are you asking about something like this?"

Tang Wulin smiled, and replied, "I'm just curious."

Lan Fuozi contemplated the situation for a moment before proposing, "You tell me how you cheated during the second examination, and I'll tell you about my ability."

Tang Wulin couldn't help but burst into laughter. "You have yourself a deal."

Tang Wulin continued, "My martial soul possesses the power of lightning, which can heavily impact space. As a result, I was able to warp space and distort the projections."

Lan Fuozi was instantly enlightened upon hearing this. "You can do that? But lightning is very difficult to manipulate; wouldn't it require exceptional control to do this? That's very impressive!"

This Lan Fuozi appeared to be rather straightforward and bullish, but Tang Wulin discovered that he was actually very intelligent. Indeed, without sufficient spiritual power, how would he have been able to control lightning to such a brilliant extent? The explanation he had provided was very simple, but Lan Fuozi had still been able to immediately identify the key underlying point, which was quite impressive in itself.

Lan Fuozi hesitated momentarily before continuing, "My ability also stems from my martial soul. I have a special martial soul that allows me to enhance my own soul power using a special method. This is a family secret, so that's all I can disclose to you."

Tang Wulin sighed, "So you've basically told me nothing."

Lan Fuozi gritted his teeth, and said, "The only thing I can tell you is turbocharge. You'll know what I mean if we encounter one another in battle during the competition."

Turbocharge? A string of thoughts instantly surfaced in Tang Wulin's mind upon hearing this. Did this mean that Lan Fuozi was compressing his own soul power to a certain extent in order to produce more power? What kind of martial soul would allow him to do this?

Lan Fuozi shrugged, and said, "Let's move on to the fourth examination. I'm definitely going to catch up to you!"

Tang Wulin merely smiled, and replied, "We'll see about that."

The fourth examination was taking place in a spacious area. Following the soul power, agility, and strength examinations, Tang Wulin and Lan Fuozi had both realized that these were all examinations of one's general skill and abilities. Only those who reached a certain standard would be able to move on to the rest of the competition.

The fourth examination seemed to be progressing rather slowly, as indicated by the long line in front of them. Lan Fuozi sought out someone who had completed the examination to find that this was a martial soul examination.

"Looks like you won't be able to hide your martial soul for much longer," Tang Wulin chuckled.

Lan Fuozi harrumphed in response, "So what? It's not like they'll know..."

His voice suddenly trailed off here before he abruptly changed the subject, "What's your martial soul? Does it have something to do with lightning?"

Tang Wulin nodded in response. "That's right."

Lan Fuozi smiled, and asked, "How many points do you think your martial soul will receive?"

"10," Tang Wulin replied in a nonchalant manner.

"You seem really confident!" Lan Fuozi harrumphed, clearly rather displeased by Tang Wulin's show of confidence.

A proud look appeared on Tang Wulin's face. "My martial soul has already stood at the pinnacle of the continent since as far back as 20,000 years ago."

Lan Fuozi countered, "My martial soul is definitely better than yours!"

"Oh?" It was Tang Wulin's turn to be surprised now. He could hear a great deal of confidence in Lan Fuozi's voice, and the determined look in his eyes was a further indication of this immense confidence.

The martial soul examination process was quite complex as there were 10 judges evaluating the participants' martial souls, and the average score given would be the final score.

Only after waiting for around 20 minutes did Lan Fuozi's turn arrive.

Tang Wulin was standing right behind him, so he was able to see him walking onto the platform.

There were many soul tools situated around the platform, and they had clearly been set up to examine multiple aspects of one's martial soul. Tang Wulin had seen similar setups back in Shrek Academy.

"Please release your martial soul, and we'll give you an overall score. Are you ready?" one of the judges asked.

Lan Fuozi nodded in response.

"Please begin."

Lan Fuozi took a deep breath as his eyes suddenly turned blue. This was a very clear and pure blue that resembled that of the ocean.

Tang Wulin was standing behind him, so he couldn't see Lan Fuozi's eyes, but in that instant, he could sense that Lan Fuozi's aura had undergone a change, giving him a sense of unfathomable depth.

Immediately thereafter, a series of blue halos was released from his body before revolving around him. The blue halos then began to rotate at a high speed, and Tang Wulin heard the same buzzing sound once again.

Lan Fuozi's aura was escalating at an astonishing speed, and his soul power was also being drastically enhanced. The rapidly rotating blue halos had already completely concealed his body.

The aura that Lan Fuozi was currently giving off was comparable to that of a Titled Douluo, and the figures on the surrounding soul tools were flashing violently. From the rate at which the soul tools were pulsating, it was clear that they had been pushed beyond their normal work capacity.

"That's enough!" one of the judges announced.
