Chapter 450

After saying the last sentence, Tang Wulin and the several Senior Elders flashed and flew into the Sea God Pavilion again.

Bei Bei smiled and went up to meet him.

"Don't you want to communicate more with those people outside?"

Tang Wulin shook his head without hesitation.

"No way, Senior Brother, do you know how many people are out there? If I really went outside to interact with them, I wouldn't be able to get away tonight; I still have important matters to handle this week."

Bei Bei asked curiously, "I knew you deliberately kept a week free for a reason; what matter is so important to you?"

Tang Wulin took a deep breath and said:

"I and Yutong are preparing to obtain the eighth soul ring."

"I see, this is indeed very important."

Bei Bei suddenly realized.

"Outsiders are unaware; don't they still not understand? Of the achievements Tang Wulin just mentioned, ninety-nine percent of the credit belongs to Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong alone."

"The two of them are now the strongest in the academy, even the strongest of the three countries originally belonging to Douluo; their strength increase is crucial for those three countries."

"During this period, they were mainly too pressed for time, one thing after another, to the point they couldn't even find time to look for a suitable eighth soul ring."

"But now war is imminent; they can no longer delay and must exert every means to boost their strength."

"Once they break through the Soul Douluo realm, they could likely reach a level where, even without martial soul fusion, they could fight a Limit Douluo; this significance is enormous."

Bei Bei asked concernedly, "Have you already found a suitable target?"

Tang Wulin nodded heavily.

"Don't worry, we have our own plans."

"Then that's good."

Seeing his firm attitude, Bei Bei stopped asking further, patted his shoulder, and said, "Junior Disciple, keep going; we'll wait for your return—you are now the mainstay of all of us."

"Mm."

Tang Wulin bade farewell to Bei Bei, opened the window, and flew toward the direction of the Tang Sect in Shilake City.

Upon arriving at the Tang Sect, he unsurprisingly saw at the gate Huo Yutong waiting for him, along with Nan Qiuqiu and her mother Nan ShuiShui.

During this period, he was responsible for receiving important guests in the Sea God Pavilion, while Huo Yutong handled Tang Sect affairs in his stead; both were extremely busy, hardly having time to meet each day.

Fortunately, this busy period has finally ended; in the coming week he can finally be affectionate with her, which makes him greatly look forward to the time ahead.

"Stare—"

"... Of course, after parting with the mother and daughter of Earth Dragon Gate."

Tang Wulin smiled warmly, ignored Nan Qiuqiu's gaze, and greeted Nan ShuiShui.

"Long time no see, Senior Nan ShuiShui; in a blink almost ten years have passed, time really flies."

Nan ShuiShui looked at him wistfully and gave a slight nod.

"Yeah, time really flies; the last time we met, you were just a ten-year-old child, and now you've become the Sea God Pavilion Master, destined to lead the Soul Master Alliance to the front lines to fight the Ri Yue Di Guo—it feels like another world." According to Nan ShuiShui's knowledge, Tang Wulin is now only a month away from eighteen, not yet an adult; at his age she would still be acting cute and throwing tantrums with her parents, yet he has already achieved such accomplishments.

"Indeed, people cannot be compared."

After a surge of emotion in her heart, Nan ShuiShui said, "I know you're in a hurry, so I won't waste words—let's go."

After speaking, she took out a flight soul tool, preparing to put it on.

Tang Wulin hurried to stop her.

"Senior Nan ShuiShui, no need."

"?"

Upon hearing this, Nan ShuiShui stopped her movements and looked at him puzzled.

Only seeing Tang Wulin lightly snap his fingers, a earth-yellow light shot from his torso, enveloping all four people present, forming a huge closed shield.

Subsequently, he took off from the spot; the shield formed by Mountain Dragon Imperial also rose with him, lifting the other three inside the shield up into the sky.

Looking at the dumbfounded Nan ShuiShui, Tang Wulin smiled and explained: 'This counts as one way I use my soul bone skill, allowing people to fly; it's faster, and you don't have to worry about discomfort.'

If we were to follow Nan ShuiShui's idea, letting them wear flying soul tools and fly themselves, just getting to Longmen would probably take half a day.

Tang Wulin didn't have that much time to waste, so he directly chose to settle things quickly, flying with them.

At his speed, from Shilake Academy to Longmen, it would take less than two hours.

Moreover, this method saves effort and is comfortable for Nan ShuiShui and Nan Qiuqiu mother and daughter.

Under the effect of the Mountain Dragon Dominion, those inside the shield are completely unaffected by external wind pressure, making it far more comfortable than when Xuanzi previously carried people while flying.

After finishing his explanation, Tang Wulin unfurled the dragon wings on his back and began flying north at extreme speed.

Watching the rapidly changing scenery below, Nan ShuiShui couldn't help but stare dumbfounded.

She actually lacked understanding of Tang Wulin's strength, and still thought he had risen to his position for other reasons.

But now it seems this young man might truly have become Sea God Pavilion Master through his own strength.

Thinking this, Nan ShuiShui felt a numbness in her heart.

This talent is already beyond human, right? Indeed her choice was correct.

The reason Tang Wulin brought her along this time is that after Nan ShuiShui learned of the Shilake Summons, she asked Nan Qiuqiu to tell Tang Wulin that their sect has a secret realm they are willing to entrust to Shilake Academy to contribute to this war.

It is said that inside that secret realm are entirely ice-blue crystals, with a terrifyingly low temperature; even an Honored Douluo cannot stay there for long.

Because Nan ShuiShui's cultivation is insufficient, she has not yet officially entered; but even the outer temperature is said to be already unbearable for her.

Upon hearing her description, the Snow Emperor in Huo Yutong's Sea of Spirit showed great interest.

According to her, this is very likely a ten-thousand-year mystic ice cavern, a place that produces Eternal Mystic Ice Marrow.

Eternal Mystic Ice Marrow is the ultimate treasure among treasures for Ice Attribute soul masters and soul beasts; even a tiny fragment, if it appears at an auction, will surely fetch a sky‑high price. If that place truly is a ten‑thousand‑year mystic ice cavern, then after Huo Yutong absorbs it, her strength will at least increase by a major level.

Originally, the destination for giving Huo Yutong an additional soul ring was the Extreme North, and Longmen's base, Dragon City, is close to the Extreme North, so it's just a detour; gaining something would be best, but gaining nothing doesn't matter.
