Chapter 114: My Name is Tang Wutong [4000]
Star Dou Great Forest, outskirts.
"Wulin, we've arrived."
Ling Luochen looked at Ziji and Tang Wulin before her, her face filled with anticipation, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
Wulin's Ultimate Ice could bring her too great an amplification. In the academy, he had never demonstrated it in a concrete way, but now, she finally had the chance to try it! "Applying the amplification of Ultimate Ice to my Ice martial soul—isn't that just ice within Ultimate Ice!"
A look of joy appeared on Ling Luochen's cold face as she muttered to herself. In an instant, a fiery look couldn't help but flash in her eyes.
"No rush."
"The outskirts don't pose much difficulty for us. Let's go straight to the inner circle. We shouldn't kill ordinary soul beasts."
Tang Wulin smiled slightly and said calmly.
Beside him, Ziji followed silently. According to what Wulin had said, unless they encountered a dangerous situation, she would absolutely not make a move.
Not long after, when the group arrived at the inner circle, Ling Luochen and Tang Wulin made their move.
"Ultimate Ice."
"Attach."
Tang Wulin had a faint smile on his face. The next moment, as he slightly utilized the elemental power within his body, a trace of pale blue energy transferred from his body and attached itself to the person before him, Ling Luochen.
"Ah."
Instantly, feeling the vast energy surging into her body, Ling Luochen couldn't help but cry out. It felt... no, this feeling of gaining powerful energy was truly too wonderful.
"I'm sorry, Wulin, I lost my composure."
Realizing her strangeness, Ling Luochen's face instantly flushed red. Looking at Tang Wulin before her, she said somewhat cautiously, her face filled with embarrassment.
Was her reaction just now really that shameful? Especially in front of a boy like Tang Wulin, her sense of shame was naturally magnified infinitely.
"Let's start the battle."
"There's a 20,000-year Red Armor Beetle over there. Sister Luochen, you can go and try it out."
Hearing this, Tang Wulin just chuckled and shook his head. Not to mention, Ling Luochen's soft moan just now was actually quite pleasant to hear. No...
He meant that the 10,000-year soul beast, the Red Armor Beetle, nearby was not to be underestimated.
However, this bright red appearance made him think of a certain knight from his past life. It must be an illusion.
"Ice Spirit, rise!"
Having received the energy injected by Tang Wulin, Ling Luochen was instantly filled with passion. Looking at that red beetle, she charged forward immediately, looking quite like she was about to duel the other party.
But the next moment, Ling Luochen, suddenly remembering that she was a mage, froze in place. Her face flushed red, and she paused, taking a few steps back.
"First Soul Skill, Ice Staff."
In an instant, a staff appeared in her hand. Compared to the original, the size of this staff hadn't changed much, but its aura was completely different.
If her energy now could be considered normal, then her staff before this could only be considered a small wooden stick that had barely scratched the surface; there was absolutely no comparison.
"Compared to the ice elements I practiced before."
"This is the ice I truly wanted..."
Ling Luochen's face was full of excitement. She looked at the staff in her hand, unable to put it down, and couldn't help but mutter to herself.
At this moment, even though she was in the forest and not in a snowy place, she felt that her body was full of a refreshing sensation, and she had endless energy.
And what followed was clearly her home field.
"Second Soul Skill."
"Ice Condensation."
A trace of determination flashed across Ling Luochen's face. The next second, as her second yellow soul ring shone brightly, a powerful aura surged toward the red beetle...
Facing this sudden long-range damage, the Red Armor Beetle was caught off guard and was instantly frozen in place, as if it had been glued to the ground by the insect itself, making it impossible to move.
"Ziji."
"I'll leave the watching to you."
Tang Wulin smiled slightly, sat on the ground with nothing to do, looked at Ziji beside him, and spoke.
The next moment, he closed his eyes and began a new round of meditation.
After all, he didn't need to fight. He had come out this time just to let her experience the true strength of Ultimate Ice and to know what kind of power she could possess.
Since he was able to free up his hands and feet, why not cultivate during this gap? "Yes, Master."
Ziji looked at him with tender eyes, responded softly, and silently squatted in place.
If one doesn't know, one should ask: in this situation, if Ling Luochen really encountered an accident, could Ziji help?
Ziji: Master Wulin is so good-looking... What, you say that human girl is gone? There's such a good thing... No! "..."
At the same time, on the other end.
"Uncle Tie, can I really not absorb a 10,000-year soul ring for my third soul ring?"
Wang Dong looked at the crippled 6,000-year Unicorn soul beast on the ground, a hint of dissatisfaction on her face as she looked at the middle-aged man beside her and couldn't help but speak.
"Oh my little ancestor."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's face was full of helplessness. His name was Tang Tie, a descendant of the Clear Sky Sect, an 87th-level Soul Douluo with hopes of becoming an elder in the future, responsible for guarding the Young Sect Master before him.
He had been super happy to bring the Young Sect Master out to hunt for her third soul ring this time, but for some reason, this Young Sect Master kept thinking about absorbing a 10,000-year soul ring for her third...
Third soul ring? 10,000 years? What an obscure concept. Even the ancestor Tang San from ten thousand years ago probably wouldn't have dared to attempt such a soul ring.
Although the Young Sect Master before him was a genius who could absorb a thousand-year level soul ring for her second, the Sect Master had emphasized to him repeatedly that the third soul ring absolutely could not exceed 6,200 years. How could 10,000 years be possible!
"Young Sect Master."
"This is truly impossible. Although your talent and constitution are much stronger than ordinary people, to the extent that you could absorb a thousand-year level for your second soul ring, a 10,000-year third soul ring is truly something that cannot be achieved."
Tang Tie said with a helpless face.
"What do you mean? Clearly, someone can..."
Wang Dong shook her head in disagreement upon hearing this. A figure had already appeared in her heart—it was Tang Wulin. His third soul ring was indeed at the 10,000-year level.
And wasn't her constant desire to rapidly improve her strength just to catch up with his footsteps?
But thinking about it carefully, that person really didn't belong to the category of ordinary humans. To be honest, she even thought he wasn't human.
"Then I will."
"Absorb this third soul ring."
Wang Dong shook her head, looked at the fallen Unicorn before her, and had no choice but to nod in agreement.
A 6,000-year third soul ring—except for that guy Wulin who couldn't be considered normal, no one could compare to her! "Fourth soul ring."
"I can definitely go for 10,000 years then, right?"
Wang Dong muttered to herself. For a moment, she inadvertently looked at her right hand, toward the hammer mark, not knowing what she was thinking.
She couldn't have a 10,000-year third soul ring for her first martial soul, but for her second, she was absolutely determined!
"..."
"Wulin, I'm done."
Just then, a gentle voice came. Ling Luochen was full of smiles, looking at Tang Wulin's direction with satisfaction, and spoke.
Refreshing. Today's battle was truly too comfortable.
By now, she had frozen countless soul beasts into ice blocks. Like the first 10,000-year Red Armor Beetle she had bullied, they had long since become naked ice sculptures. After that, other giant insects besides the steel beetle appeared, and there was even a Jedi Lion over 30,000 years old, which made her battle very enjoyable.
If she wanted to battle this comfortably at Shrek Academy, it was absolutely impossible. First of all, she had to be careful not to freeze her classmates to death, and as for other things, she couldn't go all out.
But in the Star Dou Great Forest, she clearly didn't need to worry about these things. Most soul beasts had thick skin and flesh, so she didn't need to worry about killing them.
And most of the time, she was testing her freezing techniques and effects, and on that basis, researching more long-range control skills, without the intention of killing the other party after freezing them into ice sculptures.
Until...
Until she shattered a 38,000-year Earth King after freezing it into an ice sculpture, she truly realized how terrifying her damage was.
"Did you have a good experience?"
Hearing this, Tang Wulin, who was sitting on the side, came back to his senses, gently opened his eyes, and smiled.
Regarding Ling Luochen's actions all along, he had also felt them. The reason was simple: the Ultimate Ice attached to her came from him. If he couldn't feel that, it would be too strange.
Seeing that she had enjoyed the battle, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. As long as she was happy.
"I had a great experience!"
"With Wulin's help, my strength can probably reach the level of a quasi-Soul Sage! That's at the very least."
Ling Luochen said with a thick smile, looking at Tang Wulin before her, very seriously.
Under the blessing of Ultimate Ice, her strength could increase by at least one major realm. That is to say, as a Soul King now, she could reach the level of a 70th-level Soul Emperor, roughly equivalent to a Soul King who hadn't released their Martial Soul Avatar.
As for why she said quasi-Soul Sage, the reason was even simpler: she wasn't a Soul Sage and didn't know what the amplification of a Martial Soul Avatar was specifically, so naturally, she couldn't judge whether she could truly reach the level of a Soul Sage.
"Quasi-Soul Sage, huh."
"That's quite a good improvement. Very strong."
Hearing this, Tang Wulin responded gently, looking at the happy girl before him, and said cooperatively.
The power of Ultimate Ice, presumably after reaching Soul Sage and possessing a Martial Soul Avatar, would be able to reach another level.
According to his judgment, the possessors of ultimate attributes were roughly divided into three levels: before Soul Elder, before Soul Sage, and before Titled Douluo.
Titled Douluo was the biggest qualitative change, which naturally went without saying. The first, Soul Elder, was also when the cultivation of an ultimate martial soul truly slowed down. As for after Soul Sage, this slowing effect would expire.
"Then let's go."
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Tang Wulin smiled gently and spoke. Bringing her here, he couldn't exactly go to the core and say hello to Di Tian.
However, the distance back and forth wasn't much. With Ziji bringing him, they could get there in a few minutes, so there wasn't much of a problem.
"Okay."
Listening to Tang Wulin's words, Ling Luochen readily agreed, and soon the two of them set off on the return route.
And as luck would have it, just as they arrived at the outskirts, a young girl sitting cross-legged and absorbing a soul ring quietly opened her eyes.
"Level 31, yay!"
Wang Dong felt the soul power increasing in her body and the bottleneck she had broken through, and couldn't help but sigh.
From now on, she was also a Soul Elder! "Hmm?"
"This is..."
However, when she saw the figure that suddenly appeared before her, Wang Dong's eyes were somewhat confused. This person looked so much like Wulin! "I must be having hallucinations from cultivating."
"Even Wulin has appeared."
Wang Dong chuckled instantly and couldn't help but shake her head, thinking to herself. How could Wulin possibly appear here? She must really be lovesick.
"This person."
"Looks so familiar."
At the same time, Tang Wulin looked at the girl he had bumped into, a hint of surprise on his face, and for a moment, he couldn't help but be attracted to her.
This girl was truly very beautiful—that was his first reaction. But... what was with this familiar feeling coming from her?
"No."
"Is this Wang Dong!?"
Soon, Tang Wulin suddenly noticed the source of the familiarity. The other party now possessed three soul rings—one yellow and two purple—clearly looking like someone who had just finished absorbing a soul ring.
That wasn't important; what was important was...
The pair of wings growing behind her—wasn't that the Light Goddess Butterfly that only Wang Dong possessed!
"Holy crap."
"You are a bit..."
"Excessively beautiful, my good brother."
For a moment, Tang Wulin was also taken aback, a trace of shock on his calm face, and he couldn't help but think to himself.
He had thought Wang Dong was very beautiful—after all, she was the daughter of Tang San and Xiao Wu—but he hadn't expected her to be this beautiful.
It was truly worthy of being the Light Goddess Butterfly, a martial soul that only the most beautiful girls on the entire continent could possess.
"Hmm?"
"Something's not right."
At this time, Wang Dong looked at Tang Wulin before her, her expression gradually becoming silent.
If she had thought it was an illusion at first, then now, seeing Ziji walking out behind him, she was completely silent.
Illusion my foot! The other party had already appeared truly and realistically before her eyes; how could it be fake? "So."
"Wulin has appeared before me?"
Wang Dong stood up completely, her face filled with uncontrollable confusion, and she couldn't help but mutter in her heart.
"This young lady."
"May I ask, is there something on my face?"
Tang Wulin looked at the girl-version of his good brother before him, a smile on his face, and spoke.
"This isn't..."
Beside them, Ziji saw through Wang Dong's identity at a glance and was about to say something, but noticing Tang Wulin's expression, she still didn't say it.
"Young Sect Master?"
Tang Tie looked at Wang Dong's appearance, and for a moment, a surge of confusion arose in his heart, and he spoke.
"No, no..."
"It's just that you look a, a little like a friend of mine!"
Wang Dong shook her head hurriedly and spoke.
"My name is Tang Wutong."
"Nice to meet you."
The next moment, she revealed a faint smile, said the name deep in her heart, and spoke.
PS: Dong'er won't use the name Tang Wutong later. I'm just using it here; otherwise, it would be very strange for someone surnamed Wang to be the Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect...
