Naturally, to be so valued by his wise and righteous father and become the crown prince, Dai Yueyan had to be very intelligent. His gaze changed ever so slightly. “So you’re saying it’s the Tang Sect?”
Dai Tianling did not answer, but there was a pondering glow in his eyes.
“That’s impossible, isn’t it?” The pitch of Dai Yueyan’s voice was a little higher than usual. “The Tang Sect is capable of controlling natural phenomena? The strength of that storm may not have been comparable to the explosive force of a Godkiller-ranked fixed soul ammunition, but according to our data estimation, the energy fluctuation in the overall coverage area is already sufficient to rival the simultaneous explosion of a few Godkiller-rank fixed soul ammunitions. If the Tang Sect has control over nature to this extent, how did its headquarters still get destroyed?”
Dai Tianling took a glance at his son. He was slightly dissatisfied at his son’s lack of calm. “This matter is rather unusual. If it is manmade, this is the only possibility. Even if the Federation had such power, they wouldn’t have put themselves in danger. Or perhaps, there is a powerful group of oceanic soul beasts that could create such a thing. However, there have never been any records of such an oceanic soul beast for the many years we have controlled this maritime region. Thus, logically, this can only be due to the Tang Sect.”
Dai Yueyan took a deep breath. “Fortunately, the Tang Sect is on our side.”
Dai Tianling scoffed coldly. “It’s not that the Tang Sect is on our side, but that they’ll take the weaker side. Their only goal is to prevent the war from taking place. If our overall ability trumps the Federation’s, they will certainly stand with them without hesitation.”
Dai Yueyan frowned. “Father, why do you think they engage in the business of producing weapons when they don’t seem to like war?”
Dai Tianling heaved a sigh. “This is an organization that is highly intelligent! The Tang Sect places more priority not on weapons but on the development of soul technology. I believe that the Tang Sect’s scientific research standards can rival the entire Federation’s. Their biggest mistake was trying to persecute the Tang Sect.”
“Father, I’m going to continue supervising them during the preparations. We will complete the entire setup as fast as possible.”
…
Tang Wulin lost track of how long he had been sleeping deeply. When he woke up, he felt that his entire body had gone numb. The sensation was not pleasurable, but his sense of weakness had reduced at last.
He condensed his spirit to activate his inner sight. He discovered that the meridians and bones inside his body had taken on a purple-gold hue, and he realized that he seemed to be slightly skinnier than before. The total soul power inside his body had reduced by at least one-third as well. Even so, this did not result in a decrease in his cultivation base. On the contrary, he felt a sense of heaviness that was difficult to describe.
The lightning refinement allowed his successfully cultivated Innate Secret Technique to advance by one step further. It felt like something was different about him now. Tang Wulin could not help smiling bitterly and remarking to himself that he was growing less and less human.
The swelling soul power inside his body had clearly condensed. Soul power cultivated through the use of the Mysterious Heaven Technique was supposed to be extremely pure. It was not easy to compress soul power to two-thirds of its original size!
Doubtlessly, the Thunderclap Nether Vine benefited greatly from the baptism of lightning. However, Tang Wulin’s gains from this experience could not be gauged simply from his cultivation base.
The total amount of his soul power had reduced, but he remained a Title Douluo. He could sense that even his perfect physique had improved a little more.
Even though he had yet to learn of the soul skills bestowed by the Thunderclap Nether Vine, all three of the fantastic soul skills it had displayed before were powerful. A one-hundred-thousand-year soul ring would allow him to possess at least two out of three abilities at the very least, so it was a tremendous elevation for Tang Wulin.
His thoughts wandered back to the journey. It was beyond exciting. There were so many events that had taken place. Meanwhile, his cultivation base had elevated all the way from Soul Sage to Title Douluo. He had managed to achieve that leap in less than a year. Such a short period was simply unimaginable.
However, he had also received complete support from two great organizations, Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect, since he became the Tang Sect’s Sect Master and the Sea God’s Pavilion Master and also his father’s strength.
Even though it had been for just a brief moment, the graceful posture of his father’s image launching the Indefinite Storm was deeply seared into his mind. Even though he had never met his father in real life, he could feel his father’s profound love through everything that he had received from him.
‘Father, Mother, I’ll certainly find both of you. I’m going to find both of you one day!’
It was about time for him to give himself a title.
Tang Wulin was not considered a true Title Douluo given his lack of a ninth soul ring. He was not in a rush, but he was well and truly qualified to do so at this point.
Generally, a person’s title would be related to his martial soul. For example, Elder Long’s title was the Light Dark Douluo because of her Light Dark Holy Dragon martial soul. She was also known as the Light Dark Dragon Empress.
It could also be a combination of one’s martial soul and lover’s name. For example, Teacher Wu’s title was Sky Ice, with the word Sky representing his Skyfrost Sword and the word Ice derived from Long Bing’s name.
Tang Wulin’s martial soul was the Bluesilver Emperor, but the Golden Dragon King’s strength had helped to elevate him. He also had the Sea God power left behind by his father, but he also had her, his one true love.
Should it be the Dragon Emperor Douluo? It was the combination of the Golden Dragon King and the Bluesilver Emperor, but that meant she was not included in the name anymore. There could only be two words in a title. Tang Wulin had a peculiar feeling in his heart. It felt like two words were not enough for him.
He was already a three-word battle armor master. His three-word battle armor was named Dragon Moon Song and he had already figured out that he would use the name Golden Dragon Moon Song when his armor was elevated to four-words.
Since the two words ‘Golden Dragon’ were already in his battle armor’s name, he should remove Golden Dragon from his title. He inherited the Bluesilver Emperor from his father and the word ‘silver’ was included. On the other hand, Gu Yuena’s martial soul was the Silver Dragon King which also contained the word ‘silver’. Thus, he planned to keep the word. It seemed rather inappropriate for him to adopt the word ‘Moon’ from Gu Yuena’s name, considering that the title of the Silver Moon Douluo had already been already taken. Elder Cai was the Silver Moon Douluo in the past.
He could not refrain himself from reaching for and caressing the Silver Dragon King’s scale hanging on a pendant around his neck. It was a truly difficult task to choose a title!
He could not name himself the Silver Ancient Douluo as it did not sound like a good name! As the Tang Sect’s Sect Master, his title had to make him sound like a broad-minded person.
‘What should I take for my title then? Gu Yue, will you please tell me?’ Tang Wulin muttered to himself in his heart.
He wondered if she heard his call. The scale on his neck shuddered gently, and a faint spiritual fluctuation emerged in his mind.
“My title is going to be the Silver Qilin. My four-word battle armor is going to be named the Silver Dragon Dance Qilin.”
‘Is that Gu Yue? Can she truly communicate with me through the scale?’
Tang Wulin channeled his spiritual power into it hastily in an attempt to contact Gu Yuena, but he discovered that he could not sense any spiritual fluctuation from the other end.
This was truly unfair! She was capable of sensing his thoughts, but he could not sense hers.
Tang Wulin could not help feeling a little frustrated, but Gu Yuena’s message truly inspired him.
The Silver Dragon Dance Qilin, huh?
It sounded rather well-matched to his Golden Dragon Moon Song.
The Golden Dragon Moon Song Tang Wulin and the Silver Dragon Dance Qilin Gu Yuena.
‘Her title is the Silver Qilin, which is the combination of the Silver Dragon King and my name. Why don’t I name myself…’
At this point, Tang Wulin had already made up his mind.
…
The enormous metal pillars retracted slowly. After five days of recuperation, the Federal Fleet had already recovered from the event.
The soldiers that had gone through long-term cultivation could recover extremely quickly. Other than some items that were damaged beyond repair, the fleet was still ninety-percent back to normal.
Advance!
That was the Boundless Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie’s order.
He was well aware that the Federal Fleet had certainly been discovered by the Star Luo Empire. Even so, what would that matter? What could the empire do even if they had discovered the fleet?
Could it be that they were capable of stopping the fleet upon the discovery?
The three great fleets, with three motherships at their core formed into a massive triangle formation. The fleet advanced swiftly toward the Star Luo Empire’s shoreline with an array of soul weapons readied for battle.
“Commander-in-chief, there are at least four divisions worth of military defenses on the Star Luo Empire’s shoreline equipped with numerous large-scale defense soul weapons.”
“Reporting, Commander-in-chief. According to our estimation, the defense on the Star Luo Empire’s shoreline has exceeded us by thirty percent.”
“Reporting, Commander-in-chief. The Star Luo Empire hasn’t sent out any battleships to the sea. The scanning range is five hundred nautical miles.”
“Report. According to our heat sensor, there are more than three thousand mechas from the Star Luo Empire on the shoreline. The specific rank of the mechas is unknown.”
All intelligence obtained was continuously relayed to the command post. Chen Xinjie listened with a calm expression without indicating giving any orders. The lack of instructions signified that everything was to be carried out according to plan.
‘So, you’re ready? Nothing but a momentary hindrance. As for how troublesome it will be, we shall see the abilities of Star Luo Empire when the time comes.’
