Chapter 400: The Beginning of Cooperation

On the other side, as the city walls collapsed with a boom, the soul engineer garrison stationed outside Riseup City also began to move.

Their mission was to stop the enemy from fleeing if any accident occurred; as long as they unleashed full firepower coverage, these soul masters stood no chance against them on the plain.

However, just as they were preparing to urgently gather their forces and commence firepower coverage, a person suddenly appeared at the center of the soul engineer position.

If anyone had witnessed his entire appearance, they would surely be shocked, for he was actually formed from a condensed mass of water.

He was an extraordinarily handsome young man; he appeared right beside the commander of one of the soul engineer regiments, and after showing up he gave the commander a slight smile, then a golden light flashed—before the commander could react, he pierced the commander's head with the Golden Dragon Spear.

With the position's center breached and the commander slain, the entire soul engineer garrison fell into instant chaos; the vice‑commander, just about to assume authority, ordered his subordinates to forcibly kill the young man before him, but was suddenly entangled by blue‑colored plants, after which a huge fire dragon lunged to bite him.

He instinctively deployed a soul engineer shield to block it, but at that moment the young man exerted force with his hand, and the Golden Dragon Spear shot toward him, instantly piercing the newly formed shield and then his chest.

Almost simultaneously with being pierced, the Fire Dragon King's massive jaws snapped shut, turning him into a headless corpse that flew far away.

The young man sprouted a pair of huge golden dragon wings on his back, and in an instant caught up with the fleeing vice‑commander, withdrawing the Golden Dragon Spear; as he landed, a domain of red, blue, and gold immediately enveloped the entire soul engineer position.

Obviously, this young man was Tang Wulin.

In this rescue operation, everyone has their own assignment; currently Xu San Shi and his group are escorting the hostages to flee, Song Lao and Jin Peng are battling the enemy's strongest combatants, Huo Yutong has just blown up the city wall and is hurrying here with Jing Feng and Zhuang Lao, while his task is to completely disrupt the soul engineer position before they arrive, and at the same time ensure his own safety as much as possible.

The fact proves that soul engineer regiments are strong because they act as a unified whole on the battlefield; but once they are broken from within, these soul engineers become utterly fragile.

Faced with Tang Wulin's all‑out Water‑Fire Frenzy Dragon Banquet, many soul engineers with poorer constitutions died directly under the crushing water pressure and scorching heat.

While performing the Water‑Fire Frenzy Dragon Banquet, Tang Wulin also raised his long spear high; a resounding dragon roar rang through the clouds, and his surging qi‑blood power transformed into a huge golden dragon silhouette that swiftly swirled his body, smashing vast quantities of soul engineer devices and soul engineers within the position into fragments.

The average soul master rank of these soul engineers present was only thirty or forty, and even before Tang Wulin, whose strength rivals that of a Titled Douluo, they appeared excessively fragile—like paper that tears at a touch.

At that moment, countless huge ice spikes suddenly erupted from the ground, making the already chaotic situation even worse.

It was Huo Yutong who arrived with two Titled Douluo.

After arriving here, she wasted no time; with the aid of her mental detection, she aimed a single eight‑fold omnidirectional spike at the key facilities of the soul engineer position.

Having lost those soul engineer devices that bound the entire regiment into a unity, even if the soul engineer regiment later regrouped, it would have no power to resist before experts of the Titled Douluo level.

Zhuang Lao followed behind Huo Yutong, his hands extended forward, as a soft green light began to emanate from his palms.

As this green light flowed into Tang Wulin's body, the soul power he had previously consumed—about thirty percent—was instantly fully restored.

Although our side currently has no casualties, as a Titled Douluo‑level healing soul master, Zhuang Lao naturally does more than just treat wounds; he can also replenish soul power consumption and provide a certain degree of assistance.

The Mighty Strength Douluo Jing Feng leapt from his spot, instantly jumping to the center of the soul engineer position, arriving beside Tang Wulin; with a reach of his hand, he helped block a soul engineer projectile.

"Not bad, Sea God Pavilion Master; I heard Old Jin say you were strong, but I didn't believe it—now I do." Tang Wulin said helplessly:

"I have a name."

"Hahaha, sorry." Jing Feng laughed heartily and said enthusiastically: "After this incident ends, would you be interested in coming to our Body Sect for a visit? This would be a good opportunity for us to discuss future cooperation."

Tang Wulin widened his eyes in surprise.

"Sure, sure, but is there no problem?"

According to what he knew, the elder brother of the Body Sect's sect master, Du Bu Si, had been killed by Mu En; this was a fratricidal grudge, and logically the animosity between the two sides should be deep.

Jing Feng sighed helplessly.

"Ah, actually the sect master himself is also quite torn; the pressure brought by the two Extreme Douluo is truly too great, he knows he can't keep dwelling on the past, but he just can't bring himself to speak up; I believe this incident could become the opportunity for us to formally begin cooperation—if you can come, he will surely be delighted—ah, by the way, you must absolutely not say this to the sect master."

Jing Feng raised a thumb in front of his own mouth and winked at Tang Wulin.

Upon hearing these words, Tang Wulin's expression instantly became excited.

He undoubtedly supports cooperation with the Body Sect; matters of the Sea God Pavilion can be settled, but he has never been able to gauge the attitude of the Body Sect side.

But now it seems the Body Sect as a whole leans toward cooperation, so the prospects for collaboration look promising!

He nodded heavily.

"Mighty Strength Sir, with such an invitation, I naturally won't refuse; after the rescue succeeds I will certainly come to pay a visit."

"Hahaha, then I'll eagerly await that day."

Jing Feng laughed loudly toward the sky twice, then revealed a fierce smile.

"By the way, I see your strength is great but you don't know how to use it; as a token of thanks, I'll teach you some small tricks for power application here—just observe carefully and grasp it well!"

Having said that, he suddenly kicked off the ground, his whole body shooting forward low to the ground, arriving before a seventh‑level soul engineer who had been continuously attacking them.

Before the seventh‑level soul engineer could react, he threw a fierce punch that struck the engineer's chest, shattering his entire body.

Tang Wulin's pupils involuntarily contracted.

From the moment Jing Feng told him to observe carefully, Huo Yutong's mental detection began focusing on helping him monitor Jing Feng's movements.

He discovered that after Jing Feng struck an enemy, his power leaked not a trace; it all acted upon the enemy's body.
