Chapter 534

The calendar flipped rapidly, and in the blink of an eye several months passed.

Two young people arrived at the Spirit Ice Plaza in Shrek City.

The two held hands, clearly a very loving couple.

The male young man said emotionally:

I never expected the final location to be chosen here; in such a short time, it has changed so much.

His girlfriend laughed and said:

Yeah, they even specially made a new statue; honestly, I think it's fine without making a better one.

No way, my wife's fame is so great that all kinds of forces are rushing to curry favor.

Ugh, stop teasing me.

The two were Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong.

It's strange, though; given their fame, if they walked onto the Spirit Ice Plaza like this without any disguise, they should have been surrounded by crowds.

However, at this moment passersby acted as if they didn't see them, walking past with ordinary expressions.

This is because they were both wearing the same model of bracelet at this time.

Recently, it just happened to be this era's Valentine's Day; after Huo Yutong learned of this day from Lan Yue a few months earlier, she had been secretly preparing, and then successfully, when this day arrived, she gave this couples' gift to Tang Wulin.

Don't look at this bracelet's plain appearance; it is actually a soul conductor that is almost rank ten, and its effect is simple: it shields the perception of those around them.

As long as the surrounding people's mental power does not reach the peak of the Lingyuan Realm, which is close to the Lingyu Realm level, they cannot perceive the two's true identities.

One must know that the Lingyu Realm is usually a mental state only attainable by Limit Douluo; although the peak of the Lingyuan Realm is still far from the true Lingyu Realm, it is also not something an ordinary Honored Douluo can easily reach.

In other words, at this moment only those of Super Douluo level or above can see through their disguise.

And such experts are few in the whole world; under normal circumstances one would not encounter them.

Therefore, after obtaining this bracelet, Tang Wulin's travels became much more convenient.

If they ever want to actively reveal their identities, they just need to use mental power to turn off this soul conductor.

Thanks to this, the two can appear so leisurely and contentedly at the place where their wedding is about to be held, even though they are now public figures.

The technology for making this bracelet did not exist either ten thousand years ago or today ten thousand years later; it is entirely a new technology that Huo Yutong innovated after studying the latest soul conductor theory these past few months.

After learning of this new invention's existence, Zang Xin was greatly shocked and hurriedly asked Huo Yutong for the method of making this soul conductor.

Although this soul conductor is of high rank, its manufacturing difficulty and material requirements are not low, but its significance is truly immense; with it, someone like Zhen Hua, who has low cultivation but high status, would have greatly increased safety.

Originally, Zang Xin arranged for people to teach her soul conductor technology just to satisfy her needs; he never expected she could bring such an unexpected delight.

According to Huo Yutong, although soul conductor technology ten thousand years later is overall much more advanced than ten thousand years ago and has many new theories, some miraculous technologies from ten thousand years ago have mysteriously disappeared.

For example, the Linked Soul Conductor that once caused great trouble for the three countries originally belonging to the Douluo has completely vanished.

Similarly disappeared is the legendary trump card of the Ri Yue Di Guo, the high-energy compression array soul conductor technology.

If Huo Yutong is not mistaken, it is likely that when the Ri Yue Federation replaced the Ri Yue Di Guo, these technologies were made to disappear, so they leave no trace in this era.

Fortunately, she had already researched these two key technologies ten thousand years ago, and together with the Tang Sect's researchers, recreating these two soul conductor technologies is not that difficult.

As for why she gave this technology to the Tang Sect for free, besides the fact that she could make this soul conductor relying on the Tang Sect's taught technology, more importantly she wanted to repay the Tang Sect for all they have done for them during this time.

A few months ago, Tang Wulin, with the help of the Tang Sect, announced to the world that they would marry in a few months.

As expected, everyone in the world was shocked by this earth-shattering news.

For a while, all kinds of rumors began to fly all over the internet.

Some said Tang Wulin was a pretty boy kept by Huo Yutong and would be discarded after a while.

Some said Tang Wulin actually had gotten hold of Huo Yutong's weakness and forced her to marry him.

Some said this matter was false from the start; as for why they would act out such a play, that gave rise to countless versions.

In short, almost no one is willing to believe that Huo Yutong is voluntarily together with Tang Wulin, nor do they think Tang Wulin deserves to be with the legendary Spirit Ice Douluo.

Perhaps because in this era people's eyes, the creator of spirit souls and the Spirit Pagoda, who led the Tang Sect to its revival, the Spirit Ice Douluo is almost like a deity; while Tang Wulin, this poor kid who suddenly appeared midway, in their eyes has hardly any merits besides his face.

Of course, it's not that no one cites Tang Wulin's single-handed repelling of the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest as evidence, but this is also claimed by some troublemakers to be because Huo Yutong secretly assisted from behind. In short, online public opinion has never cared about truth; more people care about whether it's interesting and whether the news is explosive.

Tang Wulin is fine; he had anticipated this mentally, but Huo Yutong was angered to the point of being snappy.

To her, this is spreading rumors worldwide about her beloved, so how could she not be angry?

This is also the first time Tang Wulin has seen her this angry.

After learning of this matter, Ya Li once proposed a suggestion: why not let Tang Wulin, like Yun Ming back then, gather all the world's most outstanding young people together and give them a beating?

According to her, back then she too was pursued by all the world's male geniuses; Yun Ming finally invited all forty-year-olds who had intentions of pursuing Ya Li to one place, then defeated them with the force of breaking bamboo, thus making them shut up.

As a result, this proposal was rejected by Huo Yutong.

In her view, she and Tang Wulin had already settled their marriage; why should Tang Wulin have to fight these do-gooders as if proving his innocence?

Even if they were to fight, they should fight her; what right do those wastes who lack even the courage to fight her have to point fingers at Tang Wulin?

Seeing Huo Yutong's appearance of rising anger, Ya Li quickly pressed her down.

Come on, are there really young people in this world who dare to fight Huo Yutong?

Probably aside from masochists, no one would have such a thought.

If she really did that, it would only make things worse.

Finally, it was Yun Ming, who emerged early from seclusion, who put an end to these farces.

After Yun Ming emerged from seclusion and learned of this matter, he directly announced to the world the news that Tang Wulin had defeated him in a frontal battle, thereby confirming the value of Tang Wulin's strength.

When this news came out, the whole world instantly erupted in an uproar.

Yun Ming has sat on the seat of the world's strongest for several decades; the notion that the Sky Douluo is humanity's strongest today has long been deeply rooted, and no one would deny that.

But in recent days, this notion has been greatly shaken.

The reason lies in the exposure of Huo Yutong's identity.

The Sky Douluo is indeed the strongest of the present age, but how would he compare to the legendary strongest Limit Douluo, the Spirit Ice Douluo? As the saying goes, Guan Yu fighting Qin Qiong; for people, cross-era debates have always been a favorite topic, after all the two never appeared in the same era, so saying who is stronger is perfectly normal and reasonable.

Therefore, after Huo Yutong appeared, although people didn't say anything on the surface, the online debate about who was stronger between the two had already become a huge uproar.

Before it was even decided who was stronger between Huo Yutong and the Heaven-Supporting Douluo, the news that Tang Wulin had defeated Yun Ming had already broken out.

Now no one dares to say anything anymore.

During the days when Yun Ming was number one in the world, his reputation was also impeccable, and almost no one thought he would lie about such a matter.

Only a tiny minority inwardly refused to accept it, and could only mutter sourly online, unable to stir any waves.

As for the fact that Huo Yutong also defeated Yun Ming, it was deliberately concealed.

On one hand, she doesn't need this honor.

More importantly, it's really not a good time to release this information now; if it were released, some meddlesome people might start arguing that Tang Wulin isn't worthy of Huo Yutong, and although their words wouldn't change anything, to her they are simply an eyesore.

Meanwhile, while the public debated whether Tang Wulin was worthy of Huo Yutong, the high-level leaders of the major powers also began a fierce debate.

They were competing for the right to host the wedding venue.

Unlike those ordinary people with shallow views, they never doubted Tang Wulin's strength, and even if his strength were truly weak, they would not be foolish enough to go against Huo Yutong's wishes.

Therefore, their focus was entirely on the wedding venue.

It can be said that the several greatest powers in this world are, to varying degrees, connected to Huo Yutong; for them, being able to set the wedding venue on their own territory would carry great political significance.

Putting it even bigger, it could even allow them to define themselves as the orthodox.

And the final result of the contest was this Spirit Ice Plaza.

With the official announcement of the wedding venue, the world's attention began to converge on Spirit Ice Plaza; from the moment this news was released, the rooms at the Spirit Ice Plaza Hotel were snatched up at an unprecedented speed.

It is said that the prices of beds in Shrek City's hotels online have already increased several-fold, and the trend shows no sign of stopping.

This shows how much the world cares about this matter.
