Chapter 420: Return to Tian Dou City

Inside the Sea God Pavilion, Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong slowly opened their eyes at the same time.

Given their current physical strength, absorbing the soul core was naturally no problem; the whole process encountered no difficulty and was accomplished with ease.

Song Lao asked tentatively:

"How do you two feel now?"

Tang Wulin felt his soul core inside him and couldn't help but break into a delighted smile.

"It's quite good; my soul power has undergone a qualitative change."

In his perception, unlike the original white, his soul power inside now turned completely green‑gold; aside from the gray aura surrounding it, saying that his soul power is now wholly composed of life force is no problem at all.

His mind shifted, and he suddenly raised his left hand, shaping it into a dragon claw, clawed his right arm, and bright red blood instantly spurted out.

"Wulin?!"

Huo Yutong let out a startled cry, but halfway through, her voice choked in her throat.

The wound on Tang Wulin's right arm instantly healed, leaving no scab; had she not seen the fresh blood he just shed, she might have doubted he was injured at all.

Song Lao snapped back to reality.

"Super‑fast regeneration, huh?"

"Yes, I think so."

Tang Wulin nodded heavily and explained, "I feel that now both my body and soul power are completely different from before; not only minor wounds, even massive injuries that pierce the body can almost instantly mend."

Song Lao was left speechless.

During this period, she had sparred with Tang Wulin many times and knew his strength well.

She now clearly understood what Tang Wulin's words meant; the kid already had strong defense, and now possesses this non‑human level regeneration, leaving her with no way to deal with him.

She took a deep breath, turned to Huo Yutong, and asked, "And you, Yutong? How are you?"

Huo Yutong slightly frowned and said uncertainly:

"My body and soul power haven't changed much, but my spiritual power seems to have undergone a qualitative change."

Now her Sea of Spirit has turned completely rose‑gold, and moreover its size has suddenly more than tripled.

It should be noted that Huo Yutong's spiritual power was already terrifying; tripling it leaves only a handful in the world who could surpass her.

She knew well that this wasn't solely due to the soul core condensation; the contribution of the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was even more crucial.

No one has an exact answer to how terrifying a million‑year‑level spiritual origin is; the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm may not match Huo Yutong in quality, but in sheer quantity it surely far exceeds hers.

Moreover, Huo Yutong could feel that her Spirit Eye martial soul itself seemed to have undergone a terrifying transformation; if before only the Eye of Fate wielded fate power, now all three of her eyes command it.

In a sense, her martial soul is no longer a Spirit Eye and should be renamed Eye of Fate.

Her current Eye of Fate martial soul's soul rings are arranged gold‑red‑red‑red‑red‑red, with the sixth and seventh rings each bearing three rose‑gold filigrees, and all rings emit a gentle rose‑gold halo.

Furthermore, from her perception, her second, third, fourth, and fifth soul rings each gained an additional fate‑attribute soul skill.

Although the exact strength is unclear, it can't be too weak.

She has no doubt that she could instantly kill her former self before the soul core condensation.

Song Lao let out a long sigh. "Very well, that's also good; at least your journey this time will be absolutely trouble‑free."

As for what happened to Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong, she chose to stop thinking about it.

She now has reason to believe these two children are already stronger than she was at level 98.

They are now the strongest in Shilake Academy, arguably the strongest among the three original Douluo nations, and given they possess a Soul Fusion Technique, even against a top‑tier Douluo they likely can contend.

For two such youngsters to have this power, the world truly is about to change.

【7】 The next day, Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong leapt toward Tian Dou City.

【8】 They brought no extra companions; the two of them alone could represent Shilake Academy.

【9】 Upon arriving at Tian Dou City, they first went to the palace, showed the gate guards their Sea God Pavilion membership, and asked them to report it.

【10】 Soon, the guards scampered out and invited them inside.

【11】 Before long, they saw Princess Wei Na coming to greet them.

【12】 The moment she saw the two, her eyes lit up instantly.

【13】 "Tang Wulin, Huo Yutong, you're here."

【14】 After scanning them from head to toe, she couldn't help but give a wry smile and say:

【15】 "Truly worthy of the current Sea God Pavilion Master, I can no longer see through you at all."

【16】 Her martial soul is a top‑tier mental‑type body martial soul—essentially a brain; she had always been confident in her spiritual power, but now facing Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong, she for the first time feels her spiritual power falls short.

【17】 Even though the two stood right before her, she could not sense any soul power fluctuations within them; this sensation had only occurred before when facing a Super Douluo.

【18】 Tang Wulin gave a gentle smile.

【19】 "You flatter me, Princess Wei Na, may I ask where the Body Sect's headquarters are?"

【20】 Princess Wei Na bowed slightly to the two, then rose and said, "Follow me; the sect has already sent someone to wait here."

【21】 After speaking, she led them deeper into the palace.

【22】 Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong exchanged glances and followed together.

【23】 Within minutes, Wei Na led them to a doorway, extended her hand, and lightly knocked.

【24】 "Under the Mighty Strength Douluo, the Shilake Academy envoy has arrived."

【25】 Soon, the door opened, and Jing Feng's face appeared from behind it.

【26】 Seeing Tang Wulin, his eyes lit up.

【27】 "Tang Wulin, you finally came; I've been waiting for you for a long time."

【28】 Tang Wulin only learned after the Sunrise City incident that Mighty Strength Douluo Jing Feng leads the faction within the Body Sect that advocates cooperation with Shilake Academy; for over a year, he has been the top responsible person on the Body Sect side for virtually every joint project.

【29】 It was also thanks to his persistent strong support that the relationship between Shilake Academy and the Body Sect could improve rapidly, eventually reaching this point.

【30】 Thus, it was only natural that the Body Sect's representative to welcome the two this time was the one most familiar with them.

The next day, Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong leapt to Tiandou City.

They didn't bring any extra people; the two of them alone could already represent Shilake Academy.

After arriving in Tiandou City, they first went to the imperial palace, showed their Sea God Pavilion Master identities to the gate guard, and asked him to announce them.

Soon, the gate guard hurriedly ran out and invited them inside.

Soon, they saw Princess Weina coming to greet them.

As soon as she saw the two, her eyes lit up instantly.

"Tang Wulin, Huo Yutong, you've come."

After sizing them up from head to toe, she couldn't help but wryly smile and say:

"As expected of the current Sea God Pavilion Master, I can't see through you at all now."

Her martial soul is a top-tier mental-system innate martial soul, the Brain; originally she had great confidence in her mental power, but facing Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong, she for the first time felt her mental power was far lacking.

Even though the two stood right before her, she could feel no soul power fluctuations from within them—a sensation she had only experienced before when facing a Titled Douluo.

Tang Wulin gave a light laugh.

"You flatter me, Princess Weina; may I ask where the main sect of the Body Sect is located?"

Weina slightly bowed to the two, then rose and said, "Follow me; the sect has already sent people to wait here."

Having said that, she led the two deeper into the imperial palace.

Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong exchanged a glance and then followed together.

Within a few minutes, Weina led them to a room's door, reached out, and lightly knocked.

"Your Excellency Mighty Strength, the envoys from Shilake Academy have arrived."

Soon, the room door opened, and Jing Feng's face appeared from behind it.

Upon seeing Tang Wulin, his eyes involuntarily brightened.

"Tang Wulin, you've finally come; I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Only after the Rising Sun City incident did Tang Wulin learn that Mighty Strength Douluo Jing Feng was the leader of the Body Sect faction advocating cooperation with Shilake Academy; over the past year, for nearly every joint project between the Body Sect and Shilake Academy, he had been the highest responsible person on the Body Sect side.

Thanks also to his steadfast strong support, the relationship between Shilake Academy and the Body Sect could quickly improve, ultimately reaching this point today.

Naturally, this time the Body Sect's envoy to welcome the two was still him, whom they knew best.
