Chapter 1398: The Federal Fleet

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The victory in the Battle of Five Gods had given Tang Wulin’s reputation a boost throughout the continents. He had become a household name in the three great continents, namely, the Douluo, the Star Luo, and the Dou Spirit.

His return this time would bring new challenges which he had to face. He would have more responsibilities too, but he had grown more powerful as well.

The Holy Spirit Cult understood the danger and troubles he could possibly bring to them. For this reason, they sent out a super powerful powerhouse like the Underworld King Douluo to deal with him as a preemptive move. One could tell how concerned they were of Tang Wulin’s growth and progress.

In the eyes of Hu Jie, this Sect Master would certainly ascend to be a Limit Douluo in the future. In fact, he would be more than just an ordinary Limit Douluo.

The submarines were docked. After waving goodbye to the Smiley Face Douluo standing by the shore, Tang Wulin and his comrades boarded the submarine in succession.

The hatch door was closed, and the submarine submerged slowly into the sea akin to a giant whale.

After being on a diplomatic mission to the Dou Spirit Empire and the Star Luo Empire for quite some time, Tang Wulin finally completed his mission. One could even describe the completion of the mission as an overachievement.

At present, he could finally be considered the Tang Sect’s Sect Master who was accepted by the entire Tang Sect.

“Tang Wulin, you must make good use of your time to cultivate during this return trip. Seize the opportunity and don’t allow any disruption during the journey so you can stabilize your rank in preparation to fuse your ninth soul ring. You will be a true Title Douluo then,” said Yali to Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin nodded. He went from being a Soul Sage to a Title Douluo within a short period of six months during his trip to visit the two empires. At the same time, he had completed the fusion of his three-word battle armor so the change was drastic. Even though he had always been cultivating with great effort, the progress he made in the elevation of his cultivation base was truly exceptional.

The return trip would take up over two months. So, it was the ideal time for him to engage in some closed-door cultivation. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to engage in closed-door cultivation after his return. Due to his reputation, he now had to handle even more duties for Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect.

The Holy Spirit Douluo needed closed-door cultivation similarly. She wished to ascend to the quasi-demigod rank as soon as possible. Only then could she be considered a true Limit Douluo.

Ever since having Tang Wulin as her son and ascending to become a Limit Douluo, she felt like she was born anew.

In the Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City.

Dai Yun’er gazed into the distance as she stood in the observatory on top of the highest building in the palace. Tears rippled in her bright eyes.

‘We are not fated to be together after all! Brother Wulin, I wish you well.’

…

The submarine advanced rapidly in the sea. Even though the submarine was enormous, it was like a kernel of corn in the vast sea.

Everyone including Tang Wulin was cultivating painstakingly in their cabins.

Yuanen Yehui and Ye Xinglan were working hard to help the rest of their comrades complete their remaining three-word battle armors. According to their estimates, all the three-word battle armors of the Seven Monsters would be completed by the time they arrived at the Douluo Continent. By then, the entire squadron would be revived once again.

They were cultivating with more effort now than before. Tang Wulin’s performance in the Battle of Five Gods had not only aroused the outsiders but had also motivated his own people greatly too!

His growth was truly rapid such that his soul power had surpassed the rest. Yuanen Yehui and Ye Xinglan were on the verge of achieving eight rings. They were about to achieve breakthrough soon. When the breakthrough was completed, they would be fused with their immortal grass spirit souls. Using their hundred-thousand-year old soul rings, they could then elevate their cultivation bases a step further.

On the other hand, Long Yuxue and the members of the Blood God Unit were elevating themselves at a rather impressive rate during this period too. Long Yuxue and Jiang Wuyue were especially good. They made amazing progress after receiving guidance from the Holy Spirit Douluo.

Following in Tang Wulin’s footsteps, one would remain modest in spite of the progress one made. It was because the target seemed to be always a step ahead.

“Hum…” A deep hum was heard abruptly. It awakened Tang Wulin from his meditation.

What was that? A siren?

Tang Wulin opened his eyes slowly and stood up slightly puzzled.

No one dared disturb him since he was engaged in closed-door cultivation. However, his keen hearing detected the siren. It was not only him but the rest of the Shrek Seven Monsters were also awakened from their cultivation in their cabins.

“What happened?” Tang Wulin raised the communicator located in the passageway leading to the cabins. He then inquired about the submarine’s control room.

“Reporting to the Sect Master. Our long-range sonar navigator has detected a large fleet of ships. We are currently surveying for more information.”

The soul sonar was an important device used to detect any threats in advance. It then relayed the information via sound waves under the sea. When it was first developed, it mainly targeted the detection of soul beasts in the sea.

All the important naval crafts were equipped with it. The Tang Sect’s soul sonar was the most advanced in development, and its function was to be the eyes of the submarine. In the depths of the sea, the sonar was required for reconnaissance so as to evade the enemy if necessary.

“I’m heading to the control room immediately.” Tang Wulin waved his hand once at his companions who were walking out of their cabins. He led them as they walked toward the control room.

Xie Xie was at Tang Wulin’s side. He asked softly, “That can’t be, no?”

Tang Wulin frowned deeply, “It’s hard to tell. If it’s a large fleet of naval ships, then I’m afraid that there’s no other possibility. I truly didn’t expect it to happen so soon.”

Yue Zhengyu was walking on the opposite side. “If that’s the case, then we’ll be in big trouble. We’ve just left the Star Luo Continent. Their main target is certainly the Star Luo Empire. I’m afraid that Star Luo has yet to complete their preparations. The main issue here is that they don’t have the slightest idea of the Federal Fleet’s arrival.”

Tang Wulin nodded. “According to the surveillance techniques available now, only the Federation is capable of performing long-range monitoring using their space satellites. The Star Luo and Dou Spirit empires aren’t equipped with such technology yet. They can only rely on the radar but their coverage is rather limited. Moreover, the Federal Fleet has anti-radar systems, so they can get real close to the enemy without them noticing.”

“What should we do then?”

If the Federal Fleet’s surprise attack was a success and the war went into full swing, then the mission which they had just completed would be pointless.

Once the Star Luo Empire was destroyed, the Dou Spirit Empire alone would not be able to resist the Federal Fleet’s attack even with the high-end weapons supplied by the Tang Sect.

Tang Wulin spoke, “We’ll discuss further at the control room after we’ve learned more about the situation. There’s no need to panic. As it is, we’re fortunate to have discovered the Federal Fleet by mere coincidence.”

Soon, the group arrived in the main control room.

The captain had a solemn expression on his face. He hastily came forward as soon as he saw Tang Wulin. “Sect Master.”

Tang Wulin asked, “Can we confirm the fleet’s origin and its size?”

The captain spoke with a deep voice, “We’re unable to do so currently because the distance is too far. However, using our sonar, we’ve determined that it’s a massive object traveling on the sea’s surface. Moreover, there’s more than one. The only possibility is it’s a naval fleet. Based on my experience, only the Federation possibly owns a naval fleet of this scale. Thus…”

Tang Wulin nodded ever so slightly. “Noted. Is there any way we can contact the Star Luo Empire and the Dou Spirit Empire?”

The captain shook his head. “No. We can’t send out any signals when we’re under the sea. Although we’re not too far away from the Star Luo Empire, we can only make contact on the surface. However, our presence will certainly be discovered given the Federation’s advanced radar and sonar system. We’ll then be in danger. The Federal Fleet is equipped with special anti-submarine gunboats that have an attack range of a thousand meters. Once they locked onto us as their target, it’ll be impossible for us to escape. According to the sonar’s detection at present, there are over a hundred ships in the Federal Fleet. In addition, there are many super large-scale naval ships with a destructive force that we definitely can’t rival.”

Tang Wulin frowned deeply. The situation had suddenly changed for the worst. He truly never expected the matter to turn into such urgency.
