Chapter 477
Because they brought many people with relatively weak cultivation, Tang Wulin and company's speed on this journey was not particularly fast.
Even with all-out marching, it still took a full two days to reach the border between the Tian Hun Empire and the Ri Yue Di Guo.
As soon as they arrived here, they received a warm welcome.
Unlike the Star Net Empire, the border between the Tian Hun Empire and the Ri Yue Di Guo is a huge canyon that ordinary soul masters cannot cross; only flight can get across.
Therefore, during this time they have indeed been beaten pretty badly here.
After all, one area where soul engineers surpass soul masters is attack range; even an Honored Douluo-level powerhouse would find it no easy feat to cross such a vast canyon and strike the opposite side, whereas even an eighth-level soul tool with a longer range can reach across.
Since the war officially began, the Ri Yue Di Guo, despite internal conflicts preventing them from dispatching truly powerful soul engineer corps, has continually maintained small-scale harassment and aggression, making these Tian Hun Empire soul masters suffer immensely.
If it weren't for the Tian Hun Empire's strongest, the Body Sect Sect Master Du Bu Si holding the fort here, their front line would have collapsed long ago.
At this moment, the Shilake allied forces were, to them, like rain after a long drought; they finally had their day to rise.
The ones receiving Tang Wulin and company were the Three Nations allied forces, with the foremost in the line being precisely the Body Sect Honored Douluo Du Bu Si.
To his left and right stood two elderly men, each emanating a remarkably formidable aura.
"Hello, young man. It's been a few months since we last met, and you truly kept your promise, bringing us a generous gift."
"Well, after all, I can't let you fight alone on the front lines."
Tang Wulin smiled and reached out to grasp the hand Du Bu Si extended.
Immediately thereafter, he felt a force surge forth from Du Bu Si's hand.
Tang Wulin gave a slight smile, ignored it, and kept his hand perfectly still.
Du Bu Si's eyes instantly flashed with a hint of surprise.
"You kid have become much stronger."
His power, when transmitted to Tang Wulin's hand, felt like sinking into an endless abyss, with no feedback whatsoever.
Such a sensation usually arises only when the opponent's power far exceeds one's own.
In their previous match, although Tang Wulin ultimately prevailed over him, it was merely a narrow victory; clearly after defeating him, Tang Wulin himself had little combat strength left.
But judging by the current power gap, Tang Wulin's strength has completely surpassed his.
If it were merely a simple surpassing, that would be normal, after all, the progress speed of this young genius Tang Wulin is certainly much faster than that of this old man.
However, the problem is that Du Bu Si's own progress during this period has not been small either; it can even be said to exceed his gains over the past several decades.
The help that the Universe Creation Pill provided by Tang Wulin gave him was truly enormous.
Tang Wulin smiled, released his hand, and said:
"Not at all; you, Senior of the Body Sect, are also much stronger than when we last met, and I'm gratified to be able to help you."
Through Huo Yutong's Mental Detection Sharing, he could clearly sense that Du Bu Si's cultivation had already entered the realm of the Limit Douluo.
The Douluo continent's Three Nations finally possess a genuine Limit Douluo of their own, and its positive effect on maintaining the front line is immeasurable.
And in Huo Yutong's detection, the elderly man to Du Bu Si's left rear is at ninety-seven level Soul Power, while the one to his right rear possesses a profound cultivation of ninety-eight level Soul Power.
They are clearly not members of the Body Sect; if I'm not mistaken, they should be reinforcements from the Star Net Empire and the Dou Ling Empire. Noticing Tang Wulin's gaze, Du Bu Si hastily introduced:
"Oh right, Tang Wulin, you haven't met these two yet, come, let me introduce them."
"The one on my left is the strongest of the Dou Ling Empire, Honored Tian Yang, the leader of the reinforcements sent by the Dou Ling Empire, a ninety-seven level Super Douluo; during my recent seclusion seeking a breakthrough, it was he who guarded our Tian Hun Empire's gate, preventing the Ri Yue Di Guo rabble from even stepping half a foot beyond the thunder pool."
"The one on my right is the Star Net Empire's Hall of Worship Chief Ye Yu, Honored Profound Ice, the strongest of the Star Net Empire, just like me before, only one step away from becoming a Limit Douluo; he arrived from the Star Net Empire just these past two days, bringing two Super Douluo-level worshippers to alleviate much of our pressure."
Upon hearing his introduction, Tang Wulin nodded respectively to the two elders.
He is the current Sea God Pavilion Master; although in seniority he is junior, he cannot perform a salute toward them in public.
Looking at him, the two empire's strongest also showed curious expressions.
These past days they have already heard from Du Bu Si too much praise for Tang Wulin, and moreover the recent situation's changes clearly revolve around this young man, so they are now all full of interest in Tang Wulin.
However, this is obviously not the place for talk; Du Bu Si waved his hand and said:
"Come, let's talk inside the commander's tent; we can't have you sitting all the time."
"Body Sect senior, don't forget to provide lodging for the volunteer army; they too are fighters striving for the nation, and we must not dishearten their hearts."
Rather, it is precisely because they are volunteers fighting for the nation that they are all the more precious.
"Hahaha, rest assured, I understand; shortly, dedicated personnel will naturally arrange everything properly, so you can put your minds at ease."
As early as several months ago, Tang Wulin had already told him about the Shilake Summons at the meeting; certainly within these months the Tian Hun Empire will of course have made preparations in advance.
The military tents and such have long been ready; we are merely waiting for Tang Wulin to bring people here.
Only then did Tang Wulin feel relieved, and everyone proceeded together, chatting and laughing, toward the commander's tent.
Unlike the others, however, the Star Net Empire's Grand Worshipper Ye Yu's gaze constantly subconsciously drifts toward Huo Yutong.
He came under the orders of Xu Jiawei; besides assisting everyone in resisting the Ri Yue Di Guo, probing the background of Tang Wulin, the newly appointed Sea God Pavilion Master, is also an extremely important task.
As far as can be seen, Tang Wulin has no issues; he gives a very good impression, undoubtedly an admirably worthy youngster.
But Huo Yutong, standing beside him, is somewhat strange.
For some reason, Ye Yu feels unable to see through her at all, and occasionally even senses from her a chilling aura that makes the heart go cold.
And just as Ye Yu looked toward Huo Yutong again, he discovered that Huo Yutong was also looking right at him, a clump of white qi flashed in their eyes.
Instantly, his body stiffened abruptly, his expression filled with disbelief.
When he broke through to become a Honored Douluo and condensed his soul core, the Star Net Empire's imperial family had once provided him with a small piece of priceless Eternal Mystic Ice Marrow; that process of condensing his soul core caused his martial soul to undergo a qualitative change, laying the foundation for his current status as the strongest of the Star Net Empire, and thus his impression of it is extremely profound.
What he just saw in Huo Yutong's eyes was clearly the unique white cold current of the Eternal Mystic Ice Marrow.
It was just that the speed at which the cold current flashed by was too fast, so that when he wanted to take another good look, he could no longer see it.
The only thing visible was a cute girl smiling sweetly at him.
