Chapter 466

On the other side, that Shuangling Bian was already so surprised it could hardly speak.

"You, you are the Light Dragon King?"

"Hmm."

The blond-haired man chuckled and pointed at the Water and Fire Dragon Kings.

"Besides, Xiao Hong and Xiao Lan are also here; won't you greet them, Xiao Bing?"

Shuangling Bian hurriedly lowered its head.

"I accidentally involved several Highnesses; I am truly deserving of death! But forgive my boldness, why are several Highnesses on this human?"

", the Light Dragon King chuckled and said: 'Ah, this is a bit troublesome to explain; I'll talk to you later, let me first have a chat with this kid.'"

Having said that, he didn't wait for Shuangling Bian to respond, and floated over to Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin saw him approaching, quickly released Huo Yutong, intending to thank him, but the Light Dragon King suddenly reached out, grabbed both sides of Tang Wulin's cheeks, and yanked them sideways.

"I say you, why have you encountered two divine-level crises in such a short time?! My avatar doesn't have much energy; with you messing around like this, I can't hold out long, do you know that?! Ah?!"

"Wuuuuu..."

Tang Wulin wanted to say something, but his cheeks were pulled apart, making it impossible to speak.

He also didn't dare to resist, after all it was obvious that the Light Dragon King had just saved him, so letting this eccentric Dragon King vent was perfectly reasonable.

Finally, it seemed the venting was over; the Light Dragon King finally released Tang Wulin's cheeks, clapped his hands, and let out a long sigh.

"Sigh, truly a trouble-maker, just like the father king back then."

Tang Wulin rubbed his still slightly aching cheeks; as a Natural Son, with his regenerative ability, these injuries should have healed long ago, yet for some reason they miraculously persisted.

He asked a question he had long wanted to ask.

"Light Dragon King, you mean that back in the Qiankun Asking Love Valley, you also saved me, right?"

Two years ago, at the final stage of the third trial in the Qiankun Asking Love Valley, Tang Wulin suddenly burst forth with five-colored light, joining forces to help him break through Ning Rongrong's spiritual seal.

In retrospect, it should have been the power of the five Dragon Kings within him; they autonomously helped him break through the obstacle.

However, among those dragon bones, the Water Fire Dragon King and the Mountain Dragon King lacked such strong self-awareness, the Wind Dragon King had already lost its soul and scattered, and the only one Tang Wulin could think of who would help him was the Light Dragon King.

However, no matter how he called in the Sea of Spirit, the Light Dragon King never responded to his calls, and in the end it just fizzled out.

Unexpectedly, now he suddenly appeared again.

The Light Dragon King clicked his tongue in displeasure.

"Nonsense, of course it's me; I came out to watch over you, to prevent you from truly going berserk, but I didn't expect you to be so trouble-prone— in a plane with planar shackles, you've encountered two divine-level enemies in just three years; are you a jinx? Have you considered what you'd do without me?"

He is in a very bad mood now.

Although several of his younger siblings chose this human boy, and Tang Wulin's deeds in Dragon Valley that year earned his approval, giving rise to the idea of cultivating him into a Dragon God, the flaw inherent in the Gold Dragon King makes it clear things won't be simple. This wisp of his remnant soul's avatar is meant to, at critical moments, invoke the power within the soul bone, thereby helping Tang Wulin's consciousness regain clarity.

But who would have thought that before his main duties could even be carried out, he consecutively helped Tang Wulin handle two divine-level crises?

Tang Wulin smiled embarrassedly.

"Well... this isn't what I wanted to encounter either, but senior, just who is this Shuangling Bian senior?"

The Light Dragon King glanced at him and asked coldly, "How much do you know about the Dragon's Nine Sons?"

"Um, the dragon begets nine sons, each different, namely..."

"Alright, that's enough, don't say more."

The Light Dragon King interrupted Tang Wulin's train of thought and said:

"Actually, just that one sentence of yours basically explains the truth of the Dragon's Nine Sons."

"Originally, the Dragon God actually had many children; among them, nine each inherited his authority, and these nine children are what later generations call the Nine Great Dragon Kings, whose appearance is also the most similar to his own."

"And those children who did not inherit his authority, due to differences in maternal lineage, have varying talents and appearances."

"The Dragon God, based on differences in outward appearance and talent, divided them into nine categories, which are what you know as the Dragon's Nine Sons; in fact, in ancient times, most dragon clans could trace their blood relations within the scope of the Dragon's Nine Sons, but over time the bloodlines have become diluted."

"Let me give you two simple examples: that old thing called Xuanzi in your Sea God Pavilion, whose martial soul is the Taotie Divine Ox, is classified under the Taotie lineage; and the current imperial auspicious beast of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Three-Eyed Golden Ji, whose lineage is classified under the Suan Ni lineage; they are both considered direct bloodlines of the Dragon God, not something ordinary dragon clans can compare to."

Tang Wulin recalled the figures of Xuanzi and Di Yun'er, and suddenly understood.

Indeed, their talents are not to be underestimated, far surpassing those of ordinary dragon clans.

As a Three-Eyed Golden Ji, Di Yun'er is said to possess in her true form ultimate fire, ultimate light, formidable spiritual attributes, and mastery over the power of fate; moreover, by awakening the trace of golden dragon blood within the Suan Ni bloodline, she can obtain a golden dragon martial soul of ultimate power, making her the strongest talent among soul beasts Tang Wulin has seen so far.

Although Xuanzi's impure bloodline means he isn't as aberrant as a Three-Eyed Golden Ji, he also possesses a domineering devouring attribute; furthermore, as long as he wishes, he can cultivate simply by eating, and even someone as lazy as Xuanzi can easily reach the ninety-eighth level thanks to this talent, showing how formidable this ability is.

Moreover, after becoming Sea God Pavilion Master, Tang Wulin also heard from Song Lao that if Xuanzi were still around, with the aid of the Golden Ancient Tree, he could awaken his Taotie bloodline within and even forcibly seal Di Tian for several days at the ninety-eighth level, which is terrifying to the extreme.

Their racial talents are clearly far superior to those of other dragon clans.

The Light Dragon King continued to say:

"And this one before you is a Shuangling Bian who once worked under Xiao Lan in the past; his name is Shuangling Bian, he's quite strong, possessing the strength of a first-level god—I never expected to meet him here after so many years, nor did I expect him to have recovered to such a level."

Having said that, the Light Dragon King looked toward Shuangling Bian.

"Come, Xiao Bing, explain why you're here and what you intend to do."

By the way, it's well known that the Dragon's Nine Sons in Douluo II are actually the original setting of the Nine Great Dragon Kings in Douluo III, just that Zhang Wei habitually consumes books.

But we can't completely ignore this setting; I tried to integrate it myself, and if I think the integration is poor, I apologize here.
