Chapter 259: Another Continent

After a few more days, they finally reached their destination.

When his feet stepped onto this land, Tang Wulin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xuanzi's full-speed flight was really too fast; even he felt uncomfortable, and now he could finally end this nauseating journey, feeling relieved from the bottom of his heart.

Xuanzi pulled out a chicken leg from somewhere, took a bite, and said:

"I didn't expect what you said to be true; there really is an undiscovered continent here."

As the master of the earth element, when his feet stepped on this land, his perception could spread along the land outward.

In his perception, this land's area was indeed large, at least far beyond his perception limit, not comparable to those small islands he could see across at a glance.

Tang Wulin did not respond.

According to the knowledge he brought back from ten thousand years in the future, this continent is very likely the location of the Star Net Empire ten thousand years from now.

He never expected the two dragon kings guiding him would actually bring him here.

Xuanzi urged, "Hey, kid, where is the thing you said strongly attracts you? Do you still feel it?"

"Hmm."

Tang Wulin used his mental power to communicate briefly with the two dragon kings residing in his soul bones, nodded, and said, "Xuan Lao, follow me."

After saying that, he led Xuanzi forward.

Soon they arrived at a forest, where they also encountered some soul beasts; but with their cultivation, they wouldn't fear even ten-thousand-year soul beasts, let alone these small soul beasts whose cultivation was at most ten thousand years.

What surprised them was that most of the soul beast types here differed from what they knew; even the names of soul beasts Xuanzi could name were less than one-third.

Xuanzi clicked his tongue in amazement, "No wonder it's a new continent so far from the Douluo Continent; even the soul beast types differ—I really want to know what they taste like."

Tang Wulin felt several black lines drooping above his head.

He really didn't know whether to say Xuanzi was big-hearted or what, but upon seeing a new soul beast, the first thing that came to mind was eating.

Although Tang Wulin also liked eating, his eating was more to meet his own energy needs, which was obviously not the same as Xuanzi constantly gnawing on a chicken leg.

And soon, Xuanzi got to taste the soul beasts here as he wished.

Watching the flames rising from Tang Wulin's right palm, Xuanzi's eyes widened.

"When did you learn to control fire, kid?"

In my impression, Tang Wulin shouldn't be a pure martial artist; he should be on the same path as Dai Yaoheng.

"This is the ability granted by my fourth soul skill."

Tang Wulin answered casually, handing the grilled meat in his hand to Xuanzi.

After absorbing the Water Fire Dragon King, he found that his vital energy and blood, besides the azure from the Wind Dragon King, also gained red and blue representing the other two dragon kings.

After experimenting in private, he as expected discovered that his vital energy and blood also gained the characteristics of fire and water elements.

As for his current fire control ability, it actually comes from the Fire Dragon King's right arm bone; controlling and releasing the flames relies on the power of that right arm bone.

Conversely, his left arm also gained water control ability; if trapped in a place without water, this ability would be helpful, but now it's obviously not needed.

Xuanzi bit into the grilled meat, tasted it, and commented:

"The taste is good; among chefs it's already top-notch, but it's still far from your girlfriend's."

"Naturally, it can't compare to hers."

Tang Wulin didn't get angry either, because what Xuanzi said was indeed true.

During the Ultimate Soldier Project, Huo Yutong specially sought out Lu Xiao Xiao to learn cooking.

When Tang Wulin asked her why, she just smiled at him and didn't answer.

Inspired by her, he also went to Lu Xiao Xiao to learn cooking.

Although he couldn't compare to the master-disciple pair of Lu Xiao Xiao and Huo Yutong, he now counts as a cook, and the habit of carrying seasonings around also developed from that time.

The two quickly finished their meal and set out again.

The two followed the Water Fire Dragon King's guidance forward, arriving before a tall mountain; Xuanzi looked at Tang Wulin.

"At the mountain's summit?"

"Hmm." Tang Wulin nodded, staring fixedly toward the summit, "I can feel that something there exerts a strong attraction on me."

This time he wasn't lying; upon reaching the mountain's base, all three of his dragon king soul bones faintly heated up, causing his entire body's blood and energy to boil.

"What could produce an attraction for all three dragon king soul bones? 'Understood.'"

Xuanzi revealed a smile.

"Well, I want to see what's up there that could make you, kid, feel such a strong attraction."

After saying that, he grabbed Tang Wulin, pointed his toes to the ground, and shot upward at terrifying speed.

Tang Wulin felt the scenery around him change at an astonishing speed; in less than ten seconds he was brought to the summit.

Xuanzi set him down on the ground and asked the slightly staggering him:

"How is it? Can you still feel it? I don't see anything here."

Tang Wulin didn't have time to answer; at that moment he felt his three soul bones heating up to the point of being hot.

Especially his left and right arm bones, which continuously emitted a feeling of joy.

Tang Wulin instinctively stretched out both hands, and a red and a blue dragon flew from his hands, beginning to dance continuously in the air.

"What is this——"

Xuanzi widened his eyes in surprise, instinctively stepping back a step, not even noticing the chicken leg falling from his hand.

This was the genuine Water Fire Dragon King; even as a remnant soul, its quality would crush his Taotie Divine Ox, and he now felt a urge to kneel.

However, at this moment the Water Fire Dragon King's thoughts were not on him; they kept flying and dancing in the air, and beneath the intertwining red and blue light, the sky gradually split open, a spatial rift gradually appearing.

"Kid, be careful!"

Xuanzi said in a deep voice, reaching out to grab Tang Wulin.

However, he grasped at air, stunned, looking toward Tang Wulin's direction, only then realizing Tang Wulin had somehow been sucked into the air, flying toward the rift.

"Bastard!"

Xuanzi cursed, sprang to his feet, and tried to stop Tang Wulin from being sucked in.

At that moment, the two Dragon Kings circling in the sky suddenly roared at him; Xuanzi's body froze instantly, and when he moved again, Tang Wulin had already been drawn into the fissure.

"Damned beast!"

Xuanzi's eyes bulged with rage, his form suddenly swelled, and terrifying earth elements rose skyward, attacking the souls of the two Dragon Kings.

Seeing this, the Water Fire Dragon King let out a resonant dragon roar, and then countless dragon‑shaped phantoms surged from the fissure, blocking Xuanzi's strike.

With a disdainful glance at Xuanzi, the two Dragon Kings turned and flew into the fissure.

Xuanzi went berserk, lunging toward the fissure, intending to yank the two dragons out and rescue Tang Wulin at the same time.

However, as soon as he entered the fissure, a strong repulsive force struck him, and he was violently spat out.

He fell to the ground in a mess, and Xuanzi was left dumbfounded.

"What is going on?"

He, who had not attained the Ultimate Douluo realm, did not know that this space actually repels any existence beyond the Fifth Ring; he was already at the ninety‑eighth level, so he naturally lacked the qualification to enter.

As for how Tang Wulin could still enter with only the Fifth Ring, the two Dragon Kings had specially invited him as a guest, so he naturally had that privilege.

After reading the off‑topic nonsense, I suddenly thought that a normal test of emotion should prove that a person can disregard their own life for love, whereas in that certain Defense Valley the test is used as an excuse to torture people to prove that they can disregard their life for love. So, does Tang San in the Qian Kun Ask Love Valley also invert cause and effect, confusing people's hearts? Moreover, can the human heart truly be tested? What right does he have to sit above and test people's hearts?

In short, he should just be a horse officer first.

The remaining five chapters will be updated at dawn.
