The Legend of the Dragon King

Chapter 1462: The Fourth Round

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Tang Wulin achieved thirty points in three rounds!

‘There’s nothing much to be proud of here! After all, there is only one Tang Sect’s Sect Master and only one Sea God’s Pavilion Master on the Douluo Continent. Trying to test the strength of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline’s lineage? Hehe!’

Although Lan Fozi was backstage, he could still see the tester’s movement clearly. Moreover, Tang Wulin performed the test faster than anyone else.

His expression had already changed when he watched Tang Wulin walk down from the platform.

He began to believe that Tang Wulin would acquire a full score in the first stage of the competition.

What was the significance of Tang Wulin passing the first three tests with a full score? It showed that he had powerful abilities! One could say that he was lucky to pass one test with a full score, but three? It definitely could not be considered luck anymore.

“Impressive! Brother.” Lan Fozi gave Tang Wulin a big thumbs up but his expression was obviously not as charitable as before.

In a sense, everyone participating in the Joust For A Spouse Festival was a potential love rival. He had wanted to show off in front of Tang Wulin initially. As it turned out, Tang Wulin was no pushover. So, Lan Fozi turned hostile instead.

However, Tang Wulin did not mind his hostility. He was quite impressed with the boy after witnessing his participation in the tests earlier. During the second round, it was Tang Wulin’s first encounter with Lan Fozi’s method of elevating his soul power. Tang Wulin had never come across Lan Fozi’s explosive, yet sustainable method of elevating his soul power. As far as he knew, even Shrek Academy did not have a record of this capability.

It was more than a simple method of concealing his cultivation base. In fact, it was a special form of soul power transformation.

“Your soul power transformation earlier is intriguing. It seems like you elevated yourself through many ranks simultaneously. Yet, you continue to elevate. Is that your secret technique that you’ve cultivated?” asked Tang Wulin.

Lan Fozi had a proud expression as he said, “That’s not some secret technique but a natural endowment. Only the people from my clan are blessed with such a natural endowment.”

He became more vigilant as he spoke those words, “Why are you asking about it?”

Tang Wulin replied with a smile, “Just out of curiosity.”

Lan Fozi then said, “If you tell me how you cheated in the second test, then I’ll tell you about my ability.”

Tang Wulin could not help laughing as he said, “Alright! It’s a deal.”

Lan Fozi patted his chest. “Don’t worry. My words always count.”

Tang Wulin said, “That’s the power of my martial soul. Lightning has a powerful effect on space. I used the lightning to warp the space such that the light shadows are refracted away. That’s how I conjured the effect earlier.”

Lan Fozi was suddenly enlightened. “You can do that, huh? Does it mean that you have total control over the ability? Lightning can’t be controlled easily, right? Impressive, brother!”

Although Lan Fozi appeared to be rather simple-minded, Tang Wulin found out that he was, in fact, extremely intelligent. His explanation was brief, yet Lan Fozi managed to grasp the key point in an instant.

How could one possibly exercise control over lightning with ease without a potent spiritual power?

Tang Wulin made an inviting hand gesture at Lan Fozi. As both of them were walking ahead, Lan Fozi hesitated for a moment before he said, “My aura is also my martial soul. My martial soul is slightly more special because I’m capable of using a special technique to elevate the strength of my soul power. It’s my clan’s secret, so I can only tell you so much.”

Tang Wulin heaved a sigh and said, “Isn’t that the same as not telling me anything?”

Lan Fozi clenched his teeth and spoke, “It’s called Turbocharge! I can only tell you so much. If we get to fight later in the competition, then you’ll know.”

Turbocharge? The word immediately resulted in countless associations populating his mind. Suddenly, an idea arose. ‘Is he exerting a certain level of stress on his soul power to squeeze out an even more powerful force?”

What sort of martial soul would produce such power? Lan Fozi’s ability to conceal his martial soul was extremely powerful such that Tang Wulin’s Spirit Domain spiritual cultivation base was incapable of detecting it.

Lan Fozi shrugged. “Let’s go, it’s the fourth round now. I’ll certainly catch up to you in the following tests!”

Tang Wulin smiled but he did not inquire any further. “Then, we shall wait and see.”

The fourth round was set in a spacious arena. Tang Wulin and Lan Fozi could tell that the fourth round test covered the more fundamental qualities. Only those whose qualities were well established would achieve good results in the latter part of the competition.

Apparently, the fourth round was conducted at a slower rate. Many people were ahead of them in the line. Lan Fozi met someone who was in front, and he made some inquiries about this round.

The fourth round was meant to test one’s martial soul!

Yes, that was right. A score would be given after one’s martial soul was tested.

“It seems like you can’t hide your martial soul anymore!” said Tang Wulin to Lan Fozi at his side.

Lan Fozi scoffed. “If I can’t hide it anymore, it’s fine. Anyhow, they won’t find out about my...” At this point, he suddenly stopped short and did not continue talking.

“Now that you mentioned it, I’m also very curious about your martial soul. What’s yours? Electric lightning-type soul beast?”

Tang Wulin nodded. “Yes.”

Lan Fozi smiled and said, “How many points do you think your martial soul will score?”

“Full score,” said Tang Wulin casually.

“So confident, huh?” Lan Fozi scoffed showing some dissatisfaction with Tang Wulin’s confidence.

An arrogant expression appeared on Tang Wulin’s face. “My martial soul has existed since twenty thousand years ago. Moreover, it’s a top grade martial soul. Why do you think I bothered to come?”

A radiance flickered in Lan Fozi’s eyes. “Whatever. Your martial soul is certainly not as good as mine!”

“Oh?” This time, it was Tang Wulin’s turn to be surprised. Tang Wulin could tell from Lan Fozi’s tone that he felt extremely confident in his martial soul. When Lan Fozi said those words, his gaze was resolute. Only those who were extremely confident would behave as such.

The martial soul test was more complicated. A total of ten panel judges would give their individual scores for the martial soul. The total score would be accumulated from all the tests to give the final score.

Lan Fozi waited for about twenty minutes before his turn.

Tang Wulin who stood behind him watched him walk onto the platform.

There were many medium-sized soul devices which were used to test a person’s martial soul in all areas. Shrek Academy possessed similar soul devices in the past as well.

“Hello, please unleash your martial soul next. We will judge all the tests and then give you the total score. Are you ready?” asked the panel judge seated at the center.

Lan Fozi nodded. “Yes, I am.”

“Begin.”

Lan Fozi’s gaze changed. As he took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly turned blue. It was as blue as the mighty ocean.

Tang Wulin who was behind Lan Fozi could not see his eyes, but he could obviously sense the change in Lan Fozi’s aura at this very moment.

He had appeared simple-minded and innocent initially. Yet, there was a sense of profundity at the moment. Soon after, blue halos were unleashed from his body. The halos which surrounded his body spun outward. The rings of blue halos began spinning at high speeds. Tang Wulin heard the hum which he had heard once before.

Lan Fozi’s aura elevated at a shocking speed. His soul power’s aura burst forth. The blue halos spinning at high speeds around his body had completely concealed his body.

Good heavens! He was so powerful!

The aura unleashed from Lan Fozi’s body at present was sufficient to rival a Title Douluo. The numbers displayed on the surrounding testers were pulsating wildly, but Tang Wulin could tell from the frequencies of the pulses that the devices had exceeded their normal operating range.

“That’s enough!” said a panel judge.
