Chapter 1590: The Excited Qiangu Zhangting
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Wu Zhangkong was already a Hyper Douluo, so it would not be an issue for him to don four-word battle armor. After Wu Zhangkong reached Title Douluo-rank, the speed of his cultivation base had not slowed, but actually sped up instead. As a result, he was able to of break through to Hyper Douluo-rank in a short period of time.
Yali told Tang Wulin that Wu Zhangkong seemed to have been awakened by something during the great explosion. The heart that had been suppressed was freed by hatred. Moreover, the burden that he carried on his shoulders was exceedingly heavy.
Other than the two Limit Douluos in Shrek Academy, only he could be considered a genuine teacher that was still alive.
The rest of the teachers had all sacrificed themselves for the students. They gave him the opportunity to survive at the final moment. What excuse could he give if he let himself drown in sorrow?
After the great catastrophe had ended, Wu Zhangkong felt like his life no longer belonged to him but to the entire Shrek Academy. He was a person with extraordinary natural endowments too. After he had sorted out his mental state, his cultivation base advanced at a tremendous speed.
Tang Wulin would like to complete these three sets of Heavenly-refined material as soon as possible for one very important reason. It was related to the ‘good news’ brought back by Wu Zhangkong.
When Tang Wulin was forging battle armors for two Limit Douluos in addition to Wu Zhangkong, he would not use only one type of metal, of course. Tang Wulin set down a goal for himself, which was to use alloy forged from four types of metals. It was also the highest level he could achieve at the moment.
Going by his current success rate, he would only need three months’ time to complete forging the Heavenly-refined metals for these three sets of battle armor.
The issue with the Titan Giant Ape Clan’s lodging was solved. It was located on a plot of land about one kilometer away from Shrek Academy’s main academic building. A brand-new building would be constructed to be fully utilized by the Titan Giant Ape Clan.
When Tang Wulin brought back the good news regarding the Titan Giant Ape, the entire Shrek Academy was in an excited mood. Those were two Limit Douluos! Moreover, they were two Limit Douluos that could be trusted absolutely. In addition, there were two Hyper Douluos and five Title Douluos in the Titan Giant Ape Clan. A clan with such ability was definitely considered a force to be reckoned with on the continent.
More importantly, the clan had chosen to join Shrek Academy. This was fantastic news.
At the same time, the Titan Giant Ape Clan’s potential was exceedingly high. If these powerhouses at Title Douluo-rank and above could be assisted with three-word battle armor, it would result in a massive leap in their overall ability. On the other hand, Shrek could finally gain a firm foothold with the Titan Giant Ape Clan joining them.
Even the Spirit Pagoda did not have so many Limit Douluos on their side!
Of course, only Yuanen Tiandang, Yuanen Tianshang and three other Title Douluos could become the academy’s teachers. The rest of them, including Yuanen Zhentian, were not suitable to give lessons directly due to their age.
The renovation for the building allocated to the Titan Giant Ape Clan had already begun. It was dubbed the Titan Building. At the rate they were progressing, the clan could immediately move into the building by the time they had relocated there.
Tang Wulin walked out of his forging room and stretched his body strenuously.
His forging room was built on the top floor of Shrek Academy’s new main academic building. It was arranged this way to simulate the Heavenly Ascension Platform at the Blacksmith’s Association. It was genuinely much better for Tang Wulin to come into contact with the elemental molecules in the air when he was at a higher altitude. At the same time, he would not affect the outside world if he were to undergo the elemental calamity here.
The soul defense system here was specially designed and made by the experts in the Tang Sect. Its defense level had even surpassed the Heavenly Ascension Platform in that it could even conceal light. As a result, only soul masters with sufficiently powerful cultivation bases could feel the energy fluctuation when Tang Wulin was forging there. There was no one that could tell that a Divine Craftsman was forging there every day.
Tang Wulin called his forging workshop the Heavenly Refinement Platform and spent most of his daily routine there.
He stood on the edge of the Heavenly Refinement Platform and gazed into the distance. The Sea God Lake rippling with soft waves had already begun to emit vitality. Even though this could be his heartfelt feeling perhaps, but Tang Wulin was well aware that the Ancient Life Tree was right under this vast expanse of water that stretched as far as the eyes could see.
Upon his return, the first thing he did was to visit and communicate with the Ancient Life Tree.
The Ancient Life Tree was very excited upon being replenished with such thick life force. After that, it told Tang Wulin that it was capable of cleansing the entire Sea God Lake. Had it not been for the continuous infusion of life force, it would have needed about ten years to do so. It was also capable of restoring the entire ecosystem in the lake. With that, the Sea God Lake could gradually begin to produce life force of its own.
However, there was no telling how long it would take for the tree to reach the state of the Ancient Gold Tree from years ago.
The best part about the life force acquired from the demon legion was that it was from an external source. It had originated from another plane, so it was not drained from elsewhere on their own plane.
However, the Ancient Life Tree had also told Tang Wulin that due to the depleting life force across the entire Douluo Continent, it would require an even larger amount of life force in order to grow properly. The amount needed was astronomical compared to the amount of life force supplied by the demon legion.
Naturally, Tang Wulin would need to work hard on that.
Tang Wulin had already thought this over. An external source of life force was the best for the Ancient Life Tree. He was planning to head to the Blood God Army when Shrek Academy had stabilized. He would like to see if he could take a stroll on the abyssal plane by entering through the passage. His cultivation base was not like before. With his abilities, he was quite confident that he could protect himself during the process. The only problem was that his presence could possibly invite another attack by the abyssal plane.
After a simple word with Tang Wulin, the Ancient Life Tree sank into a deep sleep to digest and absorb the life force. It had also improved the water quality of Sea God Lake.
‘Everything is going in the right direction! Only that I wonder if you are still doing well, Gu Yue? When will we meet each other again? When will you be with me and not part anymore?’
Tang Wulin raised his head and looked toward the direction of the Spirit Pagoda. In the distance, the pagoda that soared high into the clouds came into his view.
The Sea God Lake was located not far away from the Spirit Pagoda. The Spirit Pagoda could not see this side, but they could see them clearly.
He was obviously well aware that his lover was there, but there was nothing he could do.
…
Qiangu Zhangting had never been as joyous as he was at this moment. It felt as if it was the happiest day in his life.
He could not stop himself from violating her in the end. In fact, he had even used some forceful means.
Even though she cried, at no point did she utilize her powerful abilities to struggle free from him.
The memory of the deed was a little blurry due to the warm blood pulsing through his brain. He had actually forgotten about the entire process. He could only remember that he had conquered her with great effort. Thought he could not remember how, he knew he had taken her over and over again.
It was her first time. The sight of the fresh blood gave a sense of fulfillment to his ego. The wisp of suspicion he had had earlier was already gone entirely.
She had been pulled into her room by him. She had not rejected him after all!
He turned over and sat up. There was a wonderful pleasantness in his body. He looked toward the other side of the mattress and saw a few strands of silver hair on the pillow. Her faint scent lingered in the air.
Qiangu Dongfeng inhaled a deep breath and stood up. He felt that his spirit was refreshed and his mind was clear. The wish he had held for so long had finally come true after just one attempt. It was simply fantastic.
Nevertheless, why did she leave? It would certainly be amazing if he could shower her with affection once again in the early morning.
He grabbed the soul communicator placed on the bedside and dialed her number.
The call had connected, but she did not pick up on her side.
‘What is she doing? Why isn’t she picking up my call?”
He felt as though his heart had skipped a beat. Could it be that she was furious with him? At the thought of this, Qiangu Zhangting’s body shook abruptly. Yes! He had violated her by using somewhat forceful means. She would be quite unhappy for sure. He had once promised her that he would only do this after marriage. Even though it felt so incredible for him, what was he going to do if she was angry?
