Tang Wulin took a deep breath. Senior, Id like to seek guidance from you. Why dont we place a bet?
The old man looked toward Tang Wulin with interest. A bet?
Who are you to do so? The middle-aged man from earlier had already regained his strength, and he shouted in rage.
Tang Wulin disregarded the middle-aged man and only spoke with the old man, The bet will be that I can withstand three attacks from you. If Im capable of withstanding the three attacks, then youll not take Yuanen. If I fail to do so, then I wont stop you anymore. What do you think?
The old man was frowning when the middle-aged man spoke, How dare you challenge our grand old man with what you have?
Tang Wulin turned his head to the side and looked toward him before speaking, Or should we switch places? If youre capable of taking my three attacks, then Ill allow you to take her. How about that?
The middle-aged man was infuriated. Tang Wulin was inciting a confrontation. The middle-aged man was about to consent to the bet when he sensed a gush of pressure emanating from his surroundings. He could not utter even a word.
Young man, I sense your confidence, but I wont accept your wager. Yuanen must leave with me and theres no room for discussion, said the old man indifferently.
Tang Wulin had a slight change of countenance. This old man here was truly stubborn. The situation had become a little troublesome.
Tang Wulin took another deep breath. His expression turned solemn. Just as he was about to speak, a voice was heard from the distance, Why dont we bet on that? Otherwise, you wont be able to take her.
A stream of radiance arrived in a flash. It appeared to be a sword without the usual sharpness, and it carried a peculiar form of emotional fluctuation. When it appeared, everyones emotion was affected to a certain degree.
A radiance shimmered. A silhouette appeared by Tang Wulins side. There was a faint smile on the sihouettes face. His appearance was refined, with a cultured elegance about him. He was none other than the Amorous Douluo Zang Xin.
Tang Wulin was not surprised at all at Zang Xins presence. In fact, he was the one who had requested his presence.
One could only imagine how powerful the opponents were such that Yuanen Yehui and Xie Xie had to seek help despite their strong cultivation bases. Tang Wulin would never risk his comrades lives, so he immediately informed the Amorous Douluo. There were more than just the younger generation of the Tang Sects disciples who came to participate in the Joust For A Spouse Festival.
The old mans expression turned solemn for the first time upon seeing Zang Xins appearance.
Both of them were Limit Douluos. Even if there was a disparity between their cultivation bases and a possibility of defeat for either of them, it would be tough to go against Zang Xin. It would certainly be a terrifying situation when a Limit Douluo spared no effort in fighting a battle. They were in Mingdu City, the capital of the Federation, where there were more Limit Douluos than just the two of them currently.
Sure! The old man did not question Zang Xin further nor utter another word. He immediately consented to Zang Xins suggestion.
Zang Xin patted Tang Wulins shoulder. All the best. As he spoke, he had already retreated to the side.
The dozen people who came with the old man retreated slowly. On Tang Wulins side, the group of people including Lan Fozi retreated in a similar manner in distancing themselves.
Xie Xie swung his fist strenuously toward Tang Wulin. The anxiety he felt in his heart surpassed Yuanen Yehuis. He did not wish to see Yuanen Yehui being taken away regardless.
A look of desolation flashed past the old mans eyes. He walked forward slowly and shook his head gently.
Are you ready? A person of his rank would never use a surprise assault technique naturally.
Tang Wulin took a deep breath. The soul core and dragon core inside his body resonated with his spiritual power which was on guard at the center. He tuned his physical state to the optimum level.
Im ready. Please begin!
The old man did not elaborate much either. He just raised his right hand and pointed his finger toward Tang Wulin.
Tang Wulin had the same experience that Lan Fozi underwent earlier, as he faced the old mans pointing finger.
The finger appeared to be moving slowly. Everything in front of the finger seemed to be under its influence.
It was just a simple finger-pointing gesture, yet there was nowhere a person could hide to evade it. It felt as if every available skill of a person became ineffective before the finger.
Tang Wulin did not bother to dodge the finger since it was not his battle style.
After taking a deep breath, he slowly took a step forward. His right hand was clenched into a fist, and he positioned himself in a half-squat stance. He proceeded to execute a simple uppercut movement with his fist.
When he threw the punch, a deep dragons roar was heard. Everyone at the scene immediately felt shock in their bloodlines.
It felt as if a giant dragon was hidden inside Tang Wulin. The giant dragon appeared to be waking up slowly as he threw the punch.
The giant dragons roar sounded deep and overbearing. Tang Wulins eyes had already turned golden completely.
His right fist was covered with golden scales. Each scale was shimmering with a mirror-like gloss immersed in his dense consciousness. At the moment, he was in a peculiar state of mind as he confronted the immense pressure radiating from the opposing Mainstay.
In his mind, it felt as if there were thousands of skills fusing into one at this instant.
At present, the Kings Path, Final Stake, Thousand Accusing Fingers, and all the various Golden Dragon Kings skills seemed to be fused into his single punch.
His essence, energy, and spirit condensed. He visualized the elemental calamitys baptism during the final moment of the Heavenly Refinement process together with the removal of impurities and the storage of essence brought by the lightning.
Ha!
Boom!
The fist and the finger collided into one another. It felt like the entire space was frozen in that instant.
Everyone watched the collision intensely. To them, it was not just a matter of who won or lost the wager between Tang Wulin and the old man. They could certainly learn a thing or two from the spar between the two powerhouses.
At the moment of contact, it felt as if time had stopped while the surrounding space had frozen instantaneously. Shockingly, a deep booming noise sounded in the next moment. Although it was confined to a small area, a blackhole over three meters in diameter appeared in the sky. A tremendous pulling force spread out in all directions uprooting all the plants within a radius of a hundred meters. They were absorbed into the blackhole in a flash.
Fortunately, everyone on the scene was a powerhouse. They hastily utilized the soul power in their bodies to stabilize themselves. Otherwise, they would have been sucked into the blackhole too.
Meanwhile, Tang Wulin was blasted away akin to a cannonball being launched. A golden radiance shimmered all over his body as he was being thrown hundreds of meters away.
Even the middle-aged man who was easily agitated could not help revealing an expression of mockery at this moment.
It might seem that Lan Fozi only stumbled a few steps back before toppling over after withstanding the Mainstay. In Tang Wulins case, he was blasted away to such a great distance. It should be Tang Wulin who suffered a huge loss.
However, everyone on the scene had discerning eyes. They could tell that the old man had used his finger to push Lan Fozi over because he could control his energy well. On the other hand, the final outburst from the old mans finger against Tang Wulin happened because of the old mans loss of control. The old man had spared no effort in launching the Mainstay which resulted in the current situation.
In other words, it was Tang Wulins punch which had triggered the Mainstay such that the old man had no choice but to unleash an all-out attack against Tang Wulin.
Lan Fozis expression changed. There was a complicated look in her gaze. On the other hand, the old mans gaze was filled with astonishment.
The old man finally understood why Tang Wulin was so confident earlier. Tang Wulins punch was controlled and precise. Could it be that the boy had learned from the first Mainstay he launched by analogy?
Only a handful Hyper Douluos could comprehend the process. It was an ability which could only be possessed by Limit Douluos.
The Amorous Douluo Zang Xin had a surprised and joyous look in his eyes. Of course, he did not fear that the old man would kill Tang Wulin in his presence. Thus, Zang Xin had been paying close attention to the proceedings of the event. On the other hand, the experience gained from sparring against a Limit Douluo would be beneficial for Tang Wulin. Since they have no relations with this Limit Douluo, they did not have to worry over the situation. Otherwise, the stress would have been even greater.
