Chapter 1327: Stay, Tang Sect’s Sect Master
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When the Tang Sect’s vehicles entered the main street and headed toward the coliseum, Tang Wulin noticed the traffic congestion was worse today than the day before.
The streets were jam-packed with people. As soon as the Tang Sect’s vehicles appeared, the crowd gathered around them hoping to catch a glimpse of the Tang Sect’s Sect Master.
Obviously, the ratio of females amongst them was higher. As a matter of fact, some of them were holding banners and streamers with his name printed on it.
Tang Wulin even saw a few banners on which were written ‘The Tang Sect belongs to Star Luo. Stay, Tang Sect’s Sect Master’.
He felt warm and fuzzy all over upon seeing the banner. He found the people of the Star Luo Empire endearing. Compared to the discriminatory attitude toward the Tang Sect experienced in the Federation, it felt more like home here.
If such a similar situation occurred in the Federation, then the Tang Sect would be considered to have regained its glorious days. Nonetheless, the day would come for sure.
The Smiley Face Douluo sitting beside Tang Wulin spoke with a smile, “Sect Master, it seems like you’re very popular here! You were wearing the mecha during yesterday’s battle. Today, you’re going to be even better received.
Tang Wulin could not help smiling bitterly. “I don’t have the slightest confidence in today’s battle. I wonder if their attitude will change if I lose today.”
The Smiley Face Douluo spoke smilingly, “Don’t stress yourself. It was a shock to most people that you were capable of winning yesterday’s battle. I’m afraid His Majesty won’t be able to contain himself if you keep winning. Using yesterday’s battle as a reference, it has been proven that your mecha skills are powerful at the very least. Is that not good enough for a person your age? You’ve held the honor of our Tang Sect well. Just relax and enjoy the fight. From now on, you should have a good time in the Battle of Five Gods.”
“I understand your situation now. You’re just hoping to elevate yourself from the experience gained. I think you made the correct choice. If that were the case, there’s no need to worry over whether you win or lose. Just express yourself freely while you continue to elevate yourself. That’s enough.”
“Hmm.” Tang Wulin nodded. The Smiley Face Douluo’s advice had a calming effect on him. He should just enjoy himself in the Battle of Five Gods. Perhaps, he might even undergo another transformation by the end of the competition.
With the government’s vehicles leading the way, they finally arrived at the empire’s coliseum. The moment Tang Wulin got down from the car, the crowd went crazy with their shrieks and cheers. Amidst the cacophony, scornful curses could be heard. Finally, he was faced with some dissenting voices.
Tang Wulin did not walk straight into the coliseum but turned around to face the surrounding crowd. He was not sure if they had come for the competition or were just there to catch a glimpse of him. He bowed slightly to express his gratitude. “Thank you for your interest.”
It was a simple and calm phrase, but that was all it took to quieten the clamor on the scene during that moment. Almost everyone present felt the voice echo through their minds. The feeling was peculiar in that they could feel their souls calming down and being cleansed with lukewarm water. It was a pleasant feeling that was difficult to put into words.
Despite the feelings of excitement, their minds were calm and quiet at this very moment. The sense of ease which had never been felt before radiated throughout their entire bodies.
Their gazes were fixated on Tang Wulin. They gawked at his handsome face and hearkened to his voice echoing in their minds. All at once, everyone’s gaze underwent some kind of transformation under his silent influence.
It was a minor application of his spiritual power. It was effective in cleansing the ordinary people’s souls such that they would be both physically and mentally healthier, especially for those who had mental disorders.
Tang Wulin spoke in a manner, combining his spiritual power with the soundwaves, which had a sublime effect on the people at the scene. Whether they liked or hated him, everyone had their own viewpoint. As for Tang Wulin, he was inclined to believe that man’s nature was good at heart.
He bowed again to express his gratitude before he walked toward the coliseum.
It was not until then that the crowd which had quietened down earlier suddenly reacted to the situation.
“What happened? I recall hearing the Tang Sect’s Sect Master speaking to me. He sounded so pleasant, he made my heart melt. He’s so handsome! He looks even more handsome than he is on television. His voice is so mellifluous. I think I’m in love.”
“Where’s the ticket scalper? Where’s the man selling tickets earlier? I’ll take a ticket. Give me the ticket, quick.”
“I’m not selling anymore. I’m going to watch the competition. Just listening to his voice puts me at ease. How can I miss such an awesome competition to make a profit instead? I’m sorry everyone. I believe I’ll regret it for the rest of my life if I were to miss today’s competition.”
“I shouldn’t have been so harsh earlier. The Tang Sect’s Sect Master is here because he wishes to show his goodwill to the Star Luo Empire. The Battle of Five Gods is only a sparring session. We’ll get to watch an exciting competition regardless of who the winner will be.”
“Old Zhang, that’s not what you said before. You were extremely angry when we were having a drink yesterday. You said that the Star Luo empire is a great and impressive country. How can we lose to a sect?”
“Did I say that? I don’t remember. For some unknown reason, my dislike for the Tang Sect’s Sect Master earlier seems to have vanished after meeting him. My heart is now at ease.”
“Huh, you heard his voice too? How did we hear his voice so distinctly when we were standing so far away? It felt as if his voice was echoing in my ears earlier. It’s truly a remarkable feeling!”
“It’s his ability, I guess. Only those with powerful abilities can do that.”
Soon after, word spread about the drastic change in the crowd behavior after Tang Wulin greeted them. Following that, the people who managed to catch a glimpse of him began to exaggerate the effects of his greetings afterward. Some even claimed that he could heal severe illnesses. Before long, the news provoked long discussions on the matter.
Tang Wulin calmed down soon after he walked into the resting lounge. His mind was running through the plan for today’s battle once again. He was fully prepared for today. Yesterday’s mecha battle hardly exhausted his strong physique. He was in his best condition today.
Inside the coliseum, the seats were already filled to the brim thirty minutes before the competition commenced. The bustling scene even startled the emperor Dai Tianling who was sitting on the platform. Most times, he would only see such a grand scene when the empire held the finals of an important competition.
It seemed like yesterday’s exciting battle had a profound impression on the audience!
The Monster Academy’s president En Ci followed Dai Tianling onto the platform. The president appeared calm. Besides, no one could tell if his emotions had changed.
“Teacher, what do you think of Tang Wulin’s odds of winning today’s competition?” asked Dai Tianling of En Ci.
He had asked the same question yesterday. En Ci’s answer was thirty percent at the time. However, the victor was Tang Wulin. It was a slap to this Limit Douluo’s face.
En Ci smiled calmly. “Today? In my opinion, he has only a twenty percent chance at best. A spirit soul battle is different from a mecha battle. On the surface, all mechas appear equal. He had the upper hand in his mecha yesterday. His mecha is made from soul-forged metal, so its material actually surpassed the Despair Reaper’s in the battle.”
