The Legend of the Dragon King (Web Novel)

Number Forty-Seven floated up and flew in Tang Wulin's direction with just her silhouette flashing past at lightning speed. She was an agility-type soul master with seven soul rings, a seven-ring Soul Sage!

There was no doubt that only the best from the soul masters' world was capable of entering the finals of the round-robin tournament. In fact, they were the best of the battle armor masters' world. It was utterly impossible that they could sustain until this stage of the competition without their two-word battle armors.

The opponent's speed was incomparably and unusually swift. Even the weakest agility-type soul master with a seven-ring rank could break through the speed of sound. Consequently, the distance between the two shortened in just a moment. A whiff of faint coldness swept across his entire body, yet he could not see his opponent's true bearings.

'Truly, she's so quick!'

'So what?'

Tang Wulin's eyes glowed abruptly. His initially round pupils constricted into a vertical line within a split second, while a gush of savage energy burst forth from his body instantly.

He moved the tip of his toes ever so slightly when a deep boom burst forth from underneath his feet. The ground within an area of thirty meters in diameter, with his body as the center, collapsed instantaneously. Eight giant dragons bored out simultaneously from the ground at the sound of a valiant dragon's roar. At the same time, space within was warped.

The lightning-like silhouette which was at Tang Wulin's side had nowhere to hide within the warped space as she was immediately revealed.

Number Forty-Seven was obviously a female. She held a pair of green short daggers in her hands which emitted a faint cold radiance on its surfaces.

Number Forty-Seven reacted quickly when she sensed the violent change in the space. The double daggers in her hands made a slash to cut out a rift before herself.

The tremors of the Golden Dragon Shakes the Earth did not manage to stop her, much to Tang Wulin's surprise, it only slowed her down.

She took a step forward and bored into the rift as she vanished from Tang Wulin's vision.

The subtleties of a soul master battle were relatively different from a mecha battle. Tang Wulin had already become a top contender at winning the soul master battle. He displayed an exceedingly terrifying fighting capability during the first two rounds of the elimination tournament and had managed to rid of his opponents in just a few seconds. How could they not take note of such a contestant?

Thus, Number Forty-Seven had watched the battle recordings of Tang Wulin. She could not help complaining when she learned that she would be fighting against him in the first match of the round-robin tournament.

Fortunately, two winner slots were allocated for each small group in the round-robin competition. She was going to put in all her effort and rely on her pair of Emerald Demon Daggers to fight for even the slightest chance of winning.

'Is she trying to flee through the dimensional rift?'

Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment but his right fist had already smashed straight into the air.

Another dragon's roar was heard as space collapsed. A black hole immediately appeared in midair.

Number Forty-Seven screamed out in agony. One of her legs that had just stepped into the rift earlier was shredded into pieces by the ruthless void. Nonetheless, she reacted quickly as she gave up the idea of fleeing through the void. The seventh soul ring on her body glowed brightly as her body suddenly shrank and transformed into a green shadow that rushed to the front of Tang Wulin in a split second.

Martial soul: Emerald Demon Daggers. Martial soul avatar: Emerald Demon Bird.

There was no doubt that the Emerald Demon Bird was an extremely terrifying and ruthless soul beast. If this had been in the past, Tang Wulin would be in deep trouble had he encountered one. Ever since his confrontation with a real Emerald Demon Bird which was now Gu Yuena's pet, he had a deep understanding of this creature.

Furthermore, he was already a changed person now.

The attack was Number Forty-Seven's desperate, final effort. Her martial soul avatar and two-word battle armor were unleashed simultaneously as the stream of green radiance pierced through heaven and earth.

Tang Wulin did not move but the eight golden dragons unleashed from the Golden Dragon Shakes the Earth had already positioned themselves in front of Tang Wulin to block the Emerald Demon Bird's path.

The Emerald Demon Bird was ferocious and powerful. As her martial soul avatar was amplified by her two-word battle armor, she possessed the attacking ability close to that of a Title Douluo's. Anyway, it was her last-ditch effort.

The golden dragons were pierced through by the bird as she got closer to Tang Wulin. She could see the icy coldness in Tang Wulin's eyes and also the savagery in his vertical pupils.

"Roar…" The gigantic Golden Dragon's head appeared within the valiant dragon's roar in front of Tang Wulin. The audience witnessed the Emerald Demon Bird being engulfed in an instant.

The green silhouette vanished silently. She did not reappear.

"Number Thirty-Three, victory!"

The fight ended just like how it was during the elimination stage of the competition. It only lasted a very short period of time.

The vicious energy was retracted as Tang Wulin was transferred out from the competition arena while he was caught in deep thought.

'Hmm, the tremors produced from the complementation of the Golden Dragon Roar with the Golden Dragon Tremor Blast is truly terrifying. It shook the opponent so violently that the opponent shattered.'

However, that single attack consumed fifty percent of his soul power and bloodline power as well.

Tang Wulin realized the horrors of the Golden Dragon Tremor Blast as he exercised more control over his soul skill. The opponent earlier was the best of the two-word battle armor masters with a Soul Sage cultivation base. Yet, she could not withstand the overlapping attack which was the combination of a few of Tang Wulin's soul skills.

The Golden Dragon Shakes the Earth weakened the opponent while the combination of the Golden Dragon Tremor Blast and the Golden Dragon Roar devastated the opponent. Also, there was the punch that broke through the dimensions.

"What an outstanding figure!" The commentator's voice was filled with emotion. "Who else is capable of stopping Number Thirty-Three's advance? Obviously, he only has a six-ring cultivation base, yet his fighting capabilities are truly terrifying. Not even a martial soul avatar can resist his hyper-explosive force!"

The other commentator said, "He's definitely not an ordinary six-ring soul master. Otherwise, how can he possibly possess such fighting capabilities? I think he has, at least, a twin martial soul. Moreover, it's highly possible that the other martial soul is even more powerful. The abilities displayed by him show that he's quite different from other soul masters. In my opinion, he has the fighting capability of an eight-ring and above soul master even without his battle armor. Moreover, his fighting skills are top grade. I have high hopes that he will be the final champion."

"You can't say that yet. The contestant from Group Six and the other from Group Three are also extremely powerful. The abilities displayed by them are definitely no weaker than his. We'll get to witness something exciting later on. I'm anticipating a brilliant, great battle when they confront each other."

"Hmm, then we shall wait and see!"

The commentators were all full of praises while the audience was shocked. Number Thirty-Three was getting more dominant as he advanced in the competition.

The Golden Dragon King was the nickname given to him by the audience.

Tang Wulin logged out from the Star Dou Battle Network. As usual, he sat cross-legged on the bed and meditated to recall every detail of the competition earlier, focusing on areas which involved his strength control.

The breakthrough of the tenth layer seal doubled his strength that was already powerful initially. The cooperation of his Dragon Core and soul core contributed the most. His Dragon Core, at present, towered over his soul core. He had even lost track of how fast his blood essence power could heal as compared to before.

He did not need a long time to recover despite unleashing the Golden Dragon Tremor Blast which consumed a lot of power. It was also the skill which Tang Wulin valued the most.

When he was cladded with his battle armor, his actual combat ability was on par with a Title Douluo without a battle armor. Even his soul skill did not pale by much.

Within a few short months, his practice of the Golden Dragon Tremor Blast together with his gradual familiarity of the Thousand Accusing Fingers enabled him to make a massive qualitative leap in his abilities. At least, he felt much more confident to confront Blood Nine once again.

His communicator rang.

"Yuxue, what's going on?" Tang Wulin heard Yuxue's voice at the other end of the communicator.

"Congratulations on your win again in the round-robin tournament." Long Yuxue sounded like she had mixed emotions. Others may not know who the Golden Dragon King was, but how could she not? Actually, the people acquainted with Tang Wulin in the army were all aware of Number Thirty-Three's identity. However, it was precisely because of this knowledge which made them even more shocked.

"Thank you," said Tang Wulin with a smile. He could tell Long Yuxue had a favorable impression of him. Due to that, he rarely met up with her except during the forging process.

He had Gu Yuena already, so he did not wish to hurt Long Yuxue's feelings nor for her to have any misunderstanding. He had to come up with excuses to distance themselves.

"Are you in your room? Can you come out for a meetup, I have something to tell you," said Long Yuxue indifferently.

"What is it? Can we talk over the communicator?" Tang Wulin felt his chest tighten.

"No, we can only talk about it face to face." Long Yuxue insisted.

"Alright. Wait for me at the rest area, I'll head over there now."

Tang Wulin hanged up the communicator, changed his clothes and walked out from his room.

He had just arrived at the Blood God Battalion's hall when he ran into the former Blood Nine.

Blood Nine looked at him with a slightly peculiar expression on his face. "Wulin, I've watched your fights."

At present, his colonel commandant epaulets, with two stripes and four stars, were pinned to his shoulders, while the stars of a general adorned the epaulets on Tang Wulin's shoulders.

Tang Wulin smiled and said, "Are you scared of me?"
