Yes! It had been too long since he had met such opponents. Even though he had yet to regard Tang Wulin and his comrades as worthy opponents, they were at least closest to being his opponents.
The match proceedings of Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhis team was plain sailing. Xu Lizhi stood by the side of the arena awkwardly as Ye Xinglan fought the two enemies by herself.
Her swordsmanship was impeccable. The brilliance that was displayed by the Stargod Sword ended this match faster than Yue Zhengyus earlier team match.
Xie Xie and Yuanen Yehuis match was similarly straightforward. They defeated their opponents without much of a fight. All four teams from Shrek Academy won the first round of the small group matches.
Shrek Academy became more widely known following that.
All sorts of news reports regarding them were on successive headlines.
The phrase the wolf is here appeared on all Star Luo Citys print media.
Dai Tianling looked at his children who were seated on his right smilingly. He was in a good mood.
The national affairs were taxing which kept him busy so he rarely had time for leisure and entertainment. However, he was a man with strong family values who treasured having meals together with his children. Now and then, he would lament about getting old but his heart was filled with gratitude and warmth from his family as he watched them grow every day.
It was the fourth prince Dai Yueyan and his daughter Dai Yuner who accompanied him while he had his meal today.
Dai Yueyan was calm and full of admiration and respect for his father. On the other hand, Dai Yuner could not conceal her emotions and was frequently seen pouting her dainty red lips.
Who infuriated our little princess? Dai Tianling could not help laughing.
Dai Yuner did not utter a word as she was poking intensely at the food in her bowl with a pair of chopsticks.
Dai Tianling laughed and spoke, Youre busy with the competition recently. Theres no one to create trouble in the palace, so everyone is wondering about the abnormally serene ambiance in the palace. Everyone is feeling uneasy due to your absence and missing your playful tricks. Youre the one whos habituating us with this. What are we going to do when youre married in the future?
Father... Dai Yuner pouted even more, her face filled with dissatisfaction. Dai Tianling could not help laughing aloud at the sight of her.
Dai Yueyan too could not help smiling. Yuner was a wild princess. She had created so much trouble that the palace was never at peace. Yet, everyone pampered her. Even Dai Tianling rarely reprimanded her.
Dai Tianling smiled and said, Judging by your appearance, is the competition not going smoothly?
Dai Yuner shook her head. Its going rather smoothly. Only that everything is going too smoothly for those Shrek Academys students. Humph! Well let them have a taste of our powers sooner or later.
Dai Tianling had paid attention to Shrek Academy all along. He turned and looked towards Dai Yueyan upon hearing that. Yueyan, what do you think of Shrek Academys battle troop?
Dai Yueyan was not as unbridled as his sister. He spoke with much respect, Father, Shrek Academy has a rather strong team. Their students have their own specialties in their battle techniques and martial souls. If were to compare our powers to theirs, theres still a gap between Shrek Academy and Monster Academy. Dont worry, well certainly spare no effort to win and eliminate them in the competition.
Dai Tianer was more serious when he spoke to his son. Not only do we need to defeat them, we must also find the problem with all of you. Dont forget that Shrek Academys team members have an average age of only fifteen years which is younger than your teams average age by five years and theyre able to achieve such excellent results. Are any of you capable of achieving what they have at their age?
Dai Yueyan frowned. He looked dejected and did not speak.
Father, youre biased. I am also fifteen years old. Their average strength is not as powerful as ours. Just you wait and see. Ill make that Tang Wulin pay. Moreover, Brother Long Yue alone is capable of destroying all of them, Dai Yuner spoke recalcitrantly.
It was apparent that Dai Tianling felt helpless when he faced his daughter. He gave a forced laugh as he spoke, Youre such a silly little girl! Dont be too arrogant. But, Im actually more at ease with Long Yues presence. Only that, Yueyan, you must remind him. That child is good at everything except for his self-control when he enters a battle. He mustnt harm the other party. After all, theyre representing the Douluo Continent Federation.
Yes, Father. Ill remind Brother Long about that, Dai Yueyan hastily answered.
Dai Tianling smiled as he said, I have someone to assess Tang Wulins ability today. It so happens I can explain it to you.
Dai Yuner was immediately high spirited upon hearing her fathers words. She looked at her father with full attention.
Dai Tianling explained, Tang Wulins soul power should be at about forty-third rank which is everyones view. However, his soul power is quite different from ordinary peoples. His soul powers level of saturation far exceeds any other ordinary soul masters. At the same time, his strength is blessed with unusual natural endowments which makes him extremely strong. He has a strong defense and relies on his strength to achieve victory in almost every match.
His golden soul ring should be something similar to a soul ring, yet it is not a true soul rings ability. According to the assessment, its highly possible that it originates from the bloodlines strength. He should have a particular form of a powerful bloodline. Its also precisely the form of this bloodline that gave Hua Lantang great difficulty today which resulted in his failure.
At the same time, you must pay attention to his martial soul too. Tang Wulins martial soul is very special as it appears to be a form of a vine. Nonetheless, theres no other martial soul thats similar to the vines hes able to conjure. No other form of vine power is comparable to his. Thus, our analysts think that this is a variant of the martial soul. The reason for its variance is probably related to his bloodline.
So far, his variant martial soul hasnt unleashed any soul skill. Thats his secret weapon. Moreover, since he comes from Shrek Academy, its impossible for him to own a complete set of One-word Battle Armor due to his cultivation base and age, but it may be possible for him to own a few pieces of battle armor. You need to pay attention to this as well. Even Long Yue should not be allowed to dismiss him. Anyone whos capable of becoming a student representative and captain like Tang Wulin is not as simple as he appears.
Dai Yueyan nodded. Father, youre right. Even Brother Long has mentioned that Tang Wulin may be his equal if hes of the same age. However, Tang Wulins cultivation base can be considered the upper middle level for his age. Theres quite a gap still between him and the peerless genius Long Yue.
Dai Tianling nodded gently. The relationship between you and Long Yue is very important so do your best to maintain that. Everyone looks highly upon him. I wish for him not only to become a Four-word Battle Armor Master in the future but to be Monster Academys first demigod in history.
Dai Yueyan and Dai Yuner expressions turned solemn upon hearing the word demigod. There was a sense of yearning despite their solemnness.
Dai Tianling glanced at his daughter. How did it go with you and Long Yue as a team?
Dai Yuner pouted. Boring. Some opponents accepted their defeat straightaway. Even those who had the courage to fight us, Brother Long fought them alone. I had nothing else to do, so it was boring.
Dai Yueyan could not help speaking, You dont know how to appreciate the good things in life. There are many people who wish to be in Brother Longs team. You, on the other hand...
Dai Yuner stuck her tongue out at him. Humph. I dont care. Anyhow, all of youre going to beat up Tang Wulin for me, or else I wont like all of you anymore.
Dai Yueyan shook his head helplessly, while Dai Tianling laughed.
The Shrek Academys group of people were in a jovial mood returning from their victory. The best way to celebrate was to eat and drink as much as one could.
Captain, dont eat too much. Youve finished all the dishes.
Lizhi, can you please stop squabbling with the captain when it comes to food?
Tang Wulin was turning into a glutton. He had his appetite under control for a long while until his breakthrough to the fifth layer seal which brought on his ravenous appetite. This was a bittersweet incident.
Tang Wulin suddenly felt the absence of Teacher Mu Ye. When Teacher Mu Ye was around, he had no need for much food because Mu Ye could always provide him with some super nutritious food. Not only was the food good nourishment for his body, but he did not need to eat much.
He advanced the most in his physical ability during his time on the ship.
Even though the diplomatic corps received the best meals and rations, it was incomparable to those heaven and earth treasures ingredients!
He did not know where Teacher Mu Ye was, but it would be great if he would return soon. It was tough training under Mu Ye but the results were instantaneous. In addition, there was always scrumptious food available.
Hey, do you realize that Teacher Wu is nowhere to be seen recently? Sos Elder Cai. We havent seen both of them for quite a while, Xu Xiaoyan suddenly asked.
