Soul Land 3: Legend Of The Dragon King

Chapter 1556

Those two attacks really could've killed him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to fool Qiangu Dieting and Qiangu Dongfeng. Even Elder Long and the others had thought that Tang Wulin had been severely injured, let alone everyone else.

Tang Wulin knew that he still couldn't control his own power to such a fine and accurate degree, and this was an indication of the gap between them. This meant that Gu Yuena's spiritual power had to be superior to his, perhaps even by a huge margin.

She had also constantly been improving, and following that battle, Tang Wulin had no doubt in his mind that she was now no less powerful than a rookie Limit Douluo.

With her insane aptitude, Qiangu Zhangting wasn't even worthy to lick the bottom of her boots.

Tang Wulin's spiritual power had already reached the mental manifestation level, but he could sense that Gu Yuena's spiritual power was like a boundless abyss that had no end in sight. That was most likely the pinnacle of the Spirit Domain realm. Even a quasigod may not possess such immense spiritual power.

She was already this powerful, yet he had foolishly declared that he would protect her. He had even become quite pleased with his own development, but it was now painfully apparent to him that he still had a very long way to go.

Having already experienced so many setbacks in his life, Tang Wulin was quickly able to repress his own negative emotions and direct his attention toward self-improvement.

Power was the basis of everything, and at the very least, he had to become more powerful than Gu Yuena. Only then would he be able to help her or perhaps...

Having regained his clarity of mind, Tang Wulin got down from his bed and looked around at the room that he was staying in.

This seemed to be a residential home that was very ordinary, but also very tidy. The blanket and sheets all had a unique scent of sunlight, and after parting the curtains, a tranquil scene was presented to him outside.

It was as if nothing had ever happened, but to Tang Wulin, this felt like the calm before the storm.

The outcome of this joust for a spouse event was most definitely going to shake the entire continent, and the first bold move made by the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy had undoubtedly created a rousing spectacle to behold.

Xie Xie hadn't gone into detail in his recount, but it was easy to imagine just how much of an impact that event would've had. Essentially, Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect had joined forces to oppose the Spirit Pagoda and even the federation.

What was most shocking of all was the influence displayed by Shrek Academy; even the Battle God Hall hadn't sided with the Spirit Pagoda.

The Tang Sect and Shrek Academy had displayed four Limit Douluos, and they definitely had countless more powerful beings lurking in the shadows.

This was the first time that the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy had made a public appearance since the destruction of Shrek City, and the power that they displayed was enough to strike fear into the hearts of any of their enemies.

The joust for a spouse event had been completely ruined, and the only highlight was that Silver Dragon Princess Gu Yuena had defeated Tang Sect Master Tang Wulin.

However, no matter how one looked at it, that battle seemed more like a lover's quarrel than anything else. It was clear that the Tang Sect Master had feelings for the Silver Dragon Princess, and her reaction to him suggested that those feelings were mutual.

In the aftermath of these shocking events, the entire Douluo Continent had been plunged into various heated debates, and even those living in extremely rural areas were discussing these contentious topics.

"How are you?" Zang Xin asked as he strode into the room.

"I'm fine now," Tang Wulin replied in a respectful manner.

Zang Xin gave a meaningful look, and asked, "Are you really?"

Tang Wulin nodded without any hesitation.

Zang Xin smiled before heaving a faint sigh. "The amorous one is always left to rue what could've been!"

An amused smile appeared on Tang Wulin's face. "You're not going to use your domain on me, are you?"

Zang Xin chuckled, "Looks like you really are alright. Did you establish some type of tacit understanding with that girl?"

A peculiar look immediately appeared on Tang Wulin's face. With Zang Xin's vast wealth of life experience, he was able to immediately sense something through Tang Wulin's attitude alone.

"Perhaps so, but also perhaps not." Tang Wulin didn't know how to answer that question.

Zang Xin's brows furrowed slightly as he said, "The power displayed by that girl really has shocked all of us. We had thought you were already enough of a monster, but she's certainly no less monstrous than you are. Elder Long says that her spiritual power is superior to all of ours."

Tang Wulin's heart jolted upon hearing this. "Even Elder Long's?"

Zang Xin nodded in response without any hesitation.

Long Yeyue was currently the most powerful of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy's four Limit Douluos; even Cao Dezhi's powers were most likely inferior to hers.

As such, the fact that even Elder Long was conceding her own spiritual power to be inferior to Gu Yuena's was a shocking revelation.

Zang Xin asked, "Is she an ambitious girl?"

Tang Wulin shook his head in response. "I don't think she's that type of person."

A meaningful look appeared in Zang Xin's eyes. "Looks like you already know some things about her."

Tang Wulin sighed, "I can only make assumptions in many areas, but what I can be sure of is that she's definitely not an ally to the Spirit Pagoda."

Zang Xin said, "You have to mentally prepare yourself for all potential scenarios. That girl possesses immeasurable potential, and it's hard to say where her limits lie. If you can bring her back to your side through your relationship, then that would be best, but if not, then you'll have to be prepared for the possibility that you two could be enemies in the future."

Tang Wulin nodded in response. "I understand."

Zang Xin continued, "Alright, let's not talk about her for now. In the aftermath of the joust for a spouse event, the current situation has become very complicated. The Dove Faction has once again proposed to the parliament to vindicate our Tang Sect as a treasonous organization, but they've received stern opposition from the Eagle Faction, led by the Spirit Pagoda. However, the situation has already become a lot more positive; many members of the neutral faction have already chosen to stand with the Dove Faction, and some powers have declared support for the Shrek Academy rebuild."

Tang Wulin's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Which ones?"

Zang Xin smiled, and said, "Almost all of the neutral parliamentary members and the entire Dove Faction have expressed support, and there are even some powerhouses of the Eagle Faction that have come around."

"The Eagle Faction?" Tang Wulin was quite taken aback by this. There was no surprise about the neutral parties and Dove Faction as Shrek Academy had always been the leader of the neutral faction. Now that Shrek Academy was being rebuilt, the neutral faction naturally had to express its support.

However, it was truly a surprise to Tang Wulin that the academy had even earned Eagle Faction supporters.

"The first to express their support was the Southern Legion," Zang Xin said with a smile.

The Southern Legion? Wasn't that the legion being overseen by the Holy Angel clan? This meant that they had received the support of the Holy Angel clan and the Southern Legion.

The Southern Legion had the greatest level of autonomy among all of the legions of the federation, and the roots of the Holy Angel clan had been planted deep into the legion over the past several thousand years.

With Angel Douluo Yue Zhengen's power and status, he definitely wouldn't support Shrek Academy just because of Yue Zhengyu; it had to be because Shrek Academy really did possess sufficient sway and influence.

The Southern Legion commanded around a seventh of all of the federation's troops! This was definitely an extremely important ally.

"There's also the Blood God Legion." Zang Xin's smile became even more pronounced as he spoke.

Mirror Douluo Zhang Huanyun was already a Limit Douluo, and even though the Blood God Legion wasn't officially listed as part of the military, no other legion could compare with its power. However, it still had to guard the abyssal passageway, so this expression of support was made more so on a moral basis.

Both of these legions were led by Limit Douluos, so they were definitely nothing to be scoffed at.

"Most importantly..." A mysterious smile appeared on Zang Xin's face as he paused here.

Tang Wulin was stunned to hear that there was support coming from an entity more important than the Southern Legion and Blood God Legion.

"The Battle God Hall has also expressed its support."
