Naturally, even though Tang Wulin could not fully command the power of the sea, as the Sea God Child with the blessing of the ocean, he would be under its protection. It could be said that it was almost impossible for him to be killed while at sea even if he was faced with a demigod-ranked Limit Douluo powerhouse.

Tang Wulin could not help feeling sentimental as he sensed the energy fluctuation inside his body change. He had only truly felt like he deserved to be the Tang Sect’s Sect Master and Shrek Academy Sea God’s Pavilion Master after becoming a Title Douluo-rank powerhouse.

Looking back and thinking about how everything had happened so quickly left him feeling slightly incredulous. His bitter and laborious work for many years had finally granted the abilities that let him take his place among the continent’s powerhouses. He felt confident that he could become a Limit Douluo in the near future. He would have to reach for that goal and then push forward in the direction of Godhood. That was the only way he would be able to find his family!

As a soul master, motivation was needed to fuel his assiduous cultivation. Fame, fortune and desire were not compelling enough for Tang Wulin. Family, friendship and love were the things that truly mattered to him.

In order to ensure that he could protect Gu Yuena, he was willing to sacrifice his time and advance continuously, hoping that he could be together with her one day with nothing else standing in their way.

As for finding his birth parents, he was even more motivated. This was the first time he had ever set ascension to Godhood as his target. Even though the goal seemed to be far away, so what? If his father could do it back then, why couldn’t he?

At this point, Tang Wulin felt a burst of exuberant energy fill his chest, and he gave a long, mighty howl toward the sky.

In the vast expanse of water that stretched as far as the eye could see, his cry spread out into the distance. The calm sea water lapped soundlessly while thick water element surrounded Tang Wulin affectionately.

Bluesilver Emperor vines surged out with Tang Wulin’s body as its center point. Every vine was as thick as an arm. They appeared to be slightly thinner than before, but under close inspection, one would discover that they were slightly different.

The surface of every Bluesilver Emperor vine was covered with densely arranged dragon scales. They were blue-gold in color with light circulating on the inside and enshrouded by purple-gold radiance. They did not seem to have any electric energy, but when those vines appeared around Tang Wulin, the air surrounding his body warped as if he was about to fill the space to its bursting point.

Purple-gold light flashed in Tang Wulin’s eyes as he pointed his right hand. At once, thousands of Bluesilver Emperor vines shot in that direction at lightning speed. The vines wove together in the sky and formed the shape of a giant spear. It was the Bluesilver Emperor’s version of the Thousand Accusing Fingers.

The spear’s consciousness appeared out of thin air. There was a sudden flash, illuminating everything within a thousand meters, followed by a loud booming noise like thunder. A purple-gold black hole suddenly appeared out of thin air one thousand meters away. Even though it had only appeared for a moment before vanishing, the space had obviously exploded during that split second. There was no leakage of energy and it did not seem to be that powerful, but it was the result of Tang Wulin condensing all the energy he possessed altogether to the best of his abilities.

He waved his hand. His Bluesilver Emperor transformed into a spear for a moment, then a hammer, before spinning into a gigantic vortex and appearing out of thin air in the form of a rod.

The Bluesilver Emperor vines had rapidly undergone a multitude of transformations before finally transforming into countless giant blue-gold dragons pulsating with purple-gold light all around him.

The ninth soul ring on Tang Wulin’s body suddenly glowed brightly. The purple-gold brilliance on the surface of the red soul ring flashed once before vanishing completely. The Bluesilver Emperor vines that surrounded his body faded to nothing in that instant, and the sky darkened within a thousand-meter range. With his body as the center point, countless streams of purple-gold lightning struck explosively before transforming into a sea of purple and gold. The terrifying energy fluctuation unleashed seemed to be able to penetrate even space itself.

This was the first soul skill granted to Tang Wulin by the Thunderclap Nether Vine. It was known as the Blue Emperor Forest Lightning Hell!

Tang Wulin had been under the assumption that the Thunderclap Nether Vine would bestow two out of three of its original soul skills, but there was some variation produced after the Thunderclap Nether Vine’s evolved and fused with the Bluesilver Emperor. The Blue Emperor Forest Lightning Hell was precisely the result. The formation of power before everyone’s eyes was the perfect fusion of the Lightning Forest and the Lightning Hell in addition to the tenacity of Bluesilver Emperor.

In the Blue Emperor Forest Lightning Hell, every vine of the Bluesilver Emperor was transformed into a bolt of lightning. As the thunder exploded loudly, it pierced through thin air and became a truly lethal. This would doubtlessly become a large-scale attack-type soul skill. Its destructive power had inherited the Nether Vine’s fearsome attributes to the point that it was much more terrifying than the original Thunderclap Nether Vine.

Xie Xie watched everything from afar. He turned pale with fear but secretly rejoiced that he had not made the mad decision to spar with Tang Wulin.

After his martial soul evolved into Space-time Dragon, his senses were extremely attuned to space and time, so he could clearly feel that even time and space would be completely destroyed by the Blue Emperor Forest Lightning Hell’s terrifying lightning. As it happened, it actually contained dignified and righteous energy.

An evil soul master would really be in trouble upon encountering this attack.

Yue Zhengyu watched everything before his eyes with a resolute glance. He chanted to himself in his heart, ‘I’ll never spar with him. For all eternity, I won’t ever spar with him. He’s not human!’

On the other hand, Xu Xiaoyan had a shocked expression on her face. Tang Wulin looked just like the Lightning God descending from heaven as he stood right in the center of the thunderstorm. His entire body was emitting explosive purple-gold radiance, making everyone feel like they could not approach him at all.

“It’s too powerful. The destructive force can even rival a rank-9 fixed soul ammunition!”

“I thought the captain hadn’t taken a title yet? Why doesn’t he name himself Exploding Bomb Douluo? What do you guys think about the title? Exploding Bomb Douluo Tang Wulin,” said Xie Xie softly with a chuckle.

Yue Zhengyu pouted his lips. He was about to speak when his pupils suddenly constricted. His feathered wings appeared behind his back at lightning speed. With a flap of his wings, he took Xu Xiaoyan and fell back instantly.

Xie Xie immediately realized that something was off as soon as he saw Yue Zhengyu’s change of countenance. Light warped around his body abruptly. His silhouette flashed as he was about to escape into the void.

A crystal-clear figure of purple-gold light emerged out of nothing. “Pap!” It slapped the empty air.

“Argh!” Xie Xie screamed out in agony. Purple lightning encircled him as he was forcefully slapped out of the void. His entire body shivered intensely while every strand of the long hair on his head stood upright. His eyes rolled into the back of his head as he convulsed. His martial soul was slapped so ferociously that it had dispersed. Let alone running away, he could not even exercise control over his own body.

“Who’s the Exploding Bomb Douluo?” Tang Wulin appeared by Xie Xie’s side with a smile. He grabbed Xie Xie’s shoulder in order to stop Xie Xie from falling off the sky, despite the lightning shimmering on his body.

Xie Xie was feeling numb all over and his mind had gone blank. There was utterly no way he could answer Tang Wulin’s question.

He was not only feeling pain all over his body, his martial soul had been dispersed by the slap, so even his soul was shaken violently.

A suction force radiated from Tang Wulin’s hand to absorb the lightning energy from Xie Xie’s body. He muttered to himself, “Hmm, the strength of the Thunder God’s Whip is as extraordinary as expected. I’ve only used one-tenth of its power and Xie Xie was so incapable of withstanding the sudden attack that he didn’t even manage to unleash his battle armor in time. Impressive, impressive.”

It was the second soul skill bestowed by the Thunderclap Nether Vine, known as the Thunder God’s Whip.

The Thunder God’s Whip was undoubtedly a single-target attack that could be used in conjunction with the Blue Emperor Forest Lightning Hell. However, Tang Wulin had yet to achieve complete mastery of this ability and that was the reason why he dared not go all out when launching the attack.

Both of these soul skills consumed his soul power at an extreme rate. A single attack from either the Blue Emperor Forest Lightning Hell or the Thunder God’s Whip would consume thirty percent of Tang Wulin’s soul power. Tang Wulin had the vague sense that the Thunder God’s Whip had a special type of ability related to space. Perhaps, it was because of the reinforcement from the Indefinite Storm during the final moments of the fusion. Most likely, it was because Tang Wulin had begun comprehending spatial law in a more profound manner at the time.

In order to exercise control over Thunder God’s Whip, he would still need to learn from experience and understand it even more. However, the offensive power of this ability was so fearsome that he dared not launch it at full force yet.

It took a few minutes before Xie Xie gradually recovered from the numbness, but his body was still convulsing every once in a while.

“Big Brother, your...your trick is a little too ruthless. My entire body still feels numb all over. Why can’t I escape your attack despite fleeing into space?” Xie Xie had a shocked expression.

During that one slap earlier, he actually felt as if his soul was about to be shattered. The Space-time Dragon was rendered completely helpless in that situation. Even though he had not been prepared, Xie Xie felt that he could not escape the terrifying power of Tang Wulin’s single strike even if he had been forewarned.
