Chapter 1488: Tang Wulin’s Opponent

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The investigation on Yuan Hui’s past was being conducted by the Spirit Pagoda. Their investigation on this three-word battle armor master with an unknown history had been immediate.

According to the investigation, Yuanen Yehui came from a military background. Even an organization as powerful as the Spirit Pagoda could not possibly gain access to the information on all the forces on the continent, in particular the military. They dared not investigate any further.

How did the soul beasts become extinct? It was because of the rapid development in modern technology. Even the Atlas Douluo who was the number one soul master on the continent had fallen to a rank-12 fixed soul ammunition.

As a result, the Spirit Pagoda realized that the military could only be coaxed but not opposed.

The elimination match was brutal without a doubt. Dozens of participants were eliminated after just a day. Undoubtedly, an actual battle was the best method to test a soul master’s comprehensive abilities. It was also the embodiment of the word ‘joust’ in the Joust For A Spouse Festival.

The elimination match was absolutely intense especially for the opponents who were well-matched in strength. The encounter brought out their strong points. It was an opportunity to express oneself fully. Thus, the soul masters enjoyed themselves in the match. Although there were injuries inflicted, with the referee’s intervention and the soul masters’ self-control, no deaths occurred during the matches.

The media giants were broadcasting the important recordings of the Joust For A Spouse Festival. There were quite a few well-matched battles, in particular, the confrontation between Chi Shanming and Yuanen Yehui. The Joust For A Spouse Festival’s fame rose sharply after the official jousting session began.

A few of the participants in the limelight had begun appearing too. The most unexpected winner was the winner of the battle in which Chi Shanming was eliminated in the first round. It also proved that many talented men remained unknown in the soul masters’ world.

It was the third day of the competition’s first round when Tang Wulin appeared in the arena.

Tang Wulin’s battle today was followed closely by all due to his outstanding performance during the pre-selection test, his Title Douluo-ranked cultivation base, as well as his family background of the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan.

It was of interest to note that his opponent was an eight-ring Soul Douluo.

Thus, the arena was abuzz with information of the two opponents since the first day. Most were saying that this eight-ring Soul Douluo could be the unexpected winner like Yuan Hui on the first day. He might even defeat his famed opponent, Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin ascended the competition stage and saw his opponent who was a soul master about thirty years of age.

The opponent had an uninspiring figure with broad shoulders. He stood there like a block of stone. His eyes were small but shimmering with an essence. He stared at Tang Wulin with a burning gaze but an expressionless face. It was hard to read his emotions.

The audience shifted their attention to the competition. After the earlier matches, the audience learned that a match could end sooner when the more talented soul masters were involved. The wide disparity between the opponents resulted in powerful outbursts which ended the match prematurely.

On the other hand, the matches which were deadlocked frequently involved a six-ring soul master fighting against another six-ring soul master. So far, there were no mechas in the competition. Apparently, the mechas were too bulky.

On the main platform, Gu Yuena was there with Qiangu Zhangting. The Spirit Pagoda’s Pagoda Master Qiangu Dongfeng did not attend the event as it was just the beginning of the elimination rounds.

“Na Na, who do you think will win and lose in this match?” asked Qiangu Zhangting smilingly toward Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena was expressionless. She spoke indifferently, “The disparity between their cultivation bases is obvious. There won’t be much suspense, I guess.”

Qiangu Zhangting spoke, “Do you feel optimistic about Yu Longyue? Chi Shanming failed miserably on the first day. He’s actually from the War God Hall, and he’s the most powerful reserve there. Yet, he was defeated by a Soul Douluo. I think that nothing is impossible. I thought the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon controls lightning, right?”

Gu Yuena darted him a look and said, “Are you trying to test me deliberately? How can control of the fire element possibly be compared to the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon martial soul? It’s an extremely powerful creature in the Dragon Clan that’s not only skilled in controlling lightning, but more importantly, in passing down the legacy of the Dragon Clan’s abilities. It is the embodiment of strength, speed and the attributes. Twenty thousand years ago, the ancient clan possessed extremely powerful abilities, and it is one of the six great clans that founded the Martial Soul Hall. Afterward, the clan lived in seclusion and was once the Sea God’s Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy. There is also a record of the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon martial soul evolving into the Light Holy Dragon. Yu Longyue was already a Title Douluo despite his young age. Who’s to say he can’t have a second martial soul awakening?”

Qiangu Zhanting gave Gu Yuena a big thumbs up and said, “You’ve truly proven yourself to be the top student of Shrek Academy. You speak of the subject with such familiarity. You’re right, and I feel optimistic about Yu Longyue too. However, I enquired about his opponent too, who is also quite extraordinary. Although he has a Soul Douluo’s cultivation base, in my opinion, he may not necessarily be weaker than Yuan Hui.”

“Oh?” Gu Yuena looked toward Qiangu Zhangting with interest. “Are you acquainted with him?”

“Hmm. He’s from the Spirit Pagoda too. He’s also the person-in-charge of our advanced spirit ascension platform. He’s taking part in this competition to train himself. He isn’t really here for the Joust For A Spouse Festival. His name is Ao Wuchang. He has a very peculiar martial soul, and his moniker is ‘Summoning Door’. It’s a very interesting form of martial soul which you’ll see in a while. Yu Longyue may possibly lose the competition if he’s not careful.”

“The Summoning Door?” said Gu Yuena in slight astonishment.

Qiangu Zhangting nodded and spoke in a mysterious manner, “You’ll see in awhile. I won’t give anymore spoilers which may affect your view. As for Yu Longyue, it’s nothing even if he can win this round. If we happen to meet later on, I’ll coil him up even if he is a dragon. My martial soul is the Coiling Dragon Staff, you see! Hahaha.”

“How about me then?” Gu Yuena rolled her eyes at him.

Qiangu Zhangting smiled apologetically and said, “You’re different, of course. You’ll be coiled too, but you’ll be coiling around me. I’ll follow whatever you say!”

“That’s better.” Gu Yuena smiled. The purple radiance in the depth of her eyes shimmered ever so slightly. Qiangu Zhangting was in a trance upon looking at her. A dash of dim purple radiance flashed past the depth of his eyes similarly.

“Three, two, one, begin!”

Following the announcement of the electronic voice, Tang Wulin’s match commenced.

It was the Summoning Door Ao Wuchang!

Tang Wulin had received information about his opponent beforehand. This opponent was very interesting without a doubt. He was not in a rush to defeat the opponent as he was interested in the opponent’s martial soul.

Ao Wuchang did not behave recklessly in the slightest bit. He unleashed his martial soul and battle armor at once.

Speckles of radiance illuminated on his body. The radiance emitting from his battle armor was exceedingly interesting. It spread out horizontally from the his two clavicles near his neck all the way to his arms. The radiance also spread out from his hips and continued downward to his legs.

It seemed as if two doors had appeared on his body.

Something was exceedingly peculiar when his battle armor appeared. His entire battle armor appeared flat which was completely different from most soul masters’ three-dimensional body-fitting battle armors.

The flat-patterned battle armor was very peculiar. It seemed a dense mist was diffusing from every piece of the battle armor. There was a pair of mechanical wings folded on his back, and on the wings were jet thrusters. His soul power gushed through the jet thrusters which carried him backward. At the same time, eight soul rings had appeared on his body.

It surprised Tang Wulin that his opponent’s soul rings were all black without exception. It was not the color combination of an ordinary soul master.
