The Legend of the Dragon King

Panda Novel

Tang Wulin caught the metal as he exhaled. Four-colored lightning was indistinctly shimmering around his body. However, he appeared to be rather similar to before except that sweat was seen perfusing out of his forehead.

He had completed a round of Heavenly Refinement! It was already exceedingly tough for one to be able to perform a Heavenly Refinement to this extent.

Tang Wulin took a step forward as he arrived before Yuanen Zhentian and passed over the boxing glove-shaped metal in his hands. “I’m fortunate not to have dishonored your commission.”

Yuanen Zhentian subconsciously received the piece of metal. At the very moment he took it in his hand, he could only feel as if his entire body was shuddering. It felt as if this piece of metal was a part of his body. There was utterly no sense of unfamiliarity.

A layer of four-colored radiance immersed on the surface of the pitch-black metal as soon as he infused a little soul power into it. The law changed and the soul power started conducting at once. It felt as if the metal could burst forth with its strength enhanced by countless times in a split second.

One should know that this was just a piece of metal and not a battle armor! A piece of metal that could achieve this extent! Was this how Heavenly Refined Metal is supposed to be?

It was truly a product of Heavenly Refinement and was also terrifyingly impressive!

Yuanen Zhentian inhaled a deep breath. The aura of his entire person turned a little rushed. “This old man truly didn’t expect to stand a chance at witnessing Heavenly Refinement in his lifetime. Moreover, I have witnessed a successful completion of Heavenly Refinement. Tang Sect Master, I admire you!”

He had lost all his intention to despise a young Sect Master like Tang Wulin and admired from the bottom of his heart.

Tang Wulin smiled. “This is for the entertainment of everyone after a feast of wine. Fortunately, I’m rather lucky today to have succeeded in one attempt. We’ve been free-loading at your clan for these few days, so please take this Heavenly-refined metal as a token of our appreciation.”

Yuanen Zhentian hastily said, “How is that okay? This is truly too precious.” One could figure out the preciousness of a piece of Heavenly-refined metal. Even though it could not compare to a divine weapon, any piece of Heavenly-refined metal could possibly result in the rebirth of a high-ranking soul master’s battle armor!

Even though Yuanen Zhentian was speaking in this manner, he did not have the slightest intention to return the piece of metal to Tang Wulin. The words ‘unable to tear himself away from the object’ were perfect to describe his current feelings.

Tang Wulin chuckled. “Senior, please don’t be so courteous. I’m going to take away senior Tiandang so the small gift is necessary after all.”

Yuanen Zhentian took a glance at Tang Wulin with a meaningful look in his eyes. He suddenly smiled. “No, Tiandang will not be leaving with you.”

Tang Wulin was stunned. Yuanen Tiandang standing by his side was the first person to panic. He hastily called out, “Father, you…” He had almost accused his father of violating his promise.

After witnessing Tang Wulin’s genuine ability to perform Heavenly Refinement, he even more anticipated becoming a four-word battle armor master! He had just ascended to Limit Douluo. If he could possess a set of four-word battle armor that belonged to himself, he would be immediately elevated to a demigod-ranked powerhouse. It was the realm that every soul master sought after!

Yuanen Zhentian waved his hand to signal for his son to stay calm. He could tell that not only Yuanen Tiandang but the rest of the clansmen including Yuanen Tianshang were also all looking at Tang Wulin with a gaze as if they were looking at a precious treasure.

Yuanen Zhentian wanted to grumble badly that it would be difficult to lead a clan when the will of the people was broken up! The clansmen were all itching for a try after being convinced by the boy Tang Wulin. On the other hand, not only his clansmen were affected in reality. How could he not be itching for a try as the head of the current Titan Giant Ape Clan?

He was still holding a piece of Heavenly-refined metal in his hand. As he felt the perfect harmony rate that seemed to result in the metal trying to bore into his skin, he had finally made up his mind.

“Sect Master Tang, there’s something that I wish to inquire.”

Tang Wulin frowned ever so slightly. He was feeling a little displeased by Yuanen Zhentian’s act of violation. However, there was nothing much he could say. The other person was a senior after all.

“Please go on, senior.”

Yuanen Zhentian chuckled. “I wonder what is the scale of the reconstructed Shrek Academy?”

Tang Wulin spoke without the slightest hesitation, “Shrek was blasted into a flat ground earlier and resulted in the underground water forming into the Sea God Lake that we have now. The academy will include all the area around Sea God Lake into its construction. The preliminary project will be focused on building a portion of academic buildings but the entire Sea God Lake has been covered by our isolation soul devices now. There’s no way the outside world can detect our progress. In the future, we will certainly be building on a large scale in this area including Tang Sect. As for the final construction scale, we hope that we can build around the entire area surrounding Sea God Lake into a part of Shrek Academy in the far future and form a brand new Shrek City.”

“Of course, this is a massive project. The surface area of Sea God Lake now is even larger than the entire Shrek City earlier. It will take a very, very long time to build the new Shrek City around the lake. Perhaps, our generation is capable of completing the project but we believe that the reconstruction will certainly succeed in the near future. Moreover, we will certainly be even better than the previous Shrek City.”

Yuanen Zhentian nodded. “Since it is such a huge place, I wonder if you can sell us a plot of land? Of course, it will be even better if you can help us to build free of charge.”

His words sounded casual but everyone on the scene including Er Ming standing behind him could not help feeling stunned after listening to his words.

“Father, what do you mean?” Yuanen Tiandang turned toward his father in puzzlement.

Yuanen Zhentian calmly looked toward his son. “Son, you are not the only one who wants to become a four-word battle armor master! The clan has been content to remain in seclusion for many years and our people have already become narrow-minded. It’s a vast world that we’re living in and it’s about time for us to go outside too. Perhaps I didn’t have the courage to do so in the past, but there’s nothing that is stopping me with our elder Er Ming’s presence here. As long as Elder Er Ming agrees, I plan to move our clan. I believe that there’s no place more suitable for us than the brand new Shrek City in construction.

He once again looked toward Tang Wulin. “Sect Master Tang, we will not be a freeloader and take your place for no reason. Even though our clan is not wealthy, our lineage of people is the most skilled in controlling the earth element. Our speed in digging earth is absolutely faster than ordinary people. Even soul machines cannot compare to us. I believe that we will be rather helpful in the process of rebuilding Shrek Academy.”

Tang Wulin had just considered the situation subconsciously swallowed a gulp of saliva at this point. “Senior, are you serious?”

He was supposed to take one or two teachers with him yet little did he know that he was about to take along the entire clan! Could anything be more amazing than this?

Even though Titan Giant Ape Clan was a reclusive clan, there was a total of eight powerhouses of Title Douluo-rank and above in his clan! There were also two Limit Douluos. Their inclusion to Shrek Academy could not just be described as a ‘ good thing’ but it was also an act of establishing a firm foundation!

Moreover, the identities of Yuanen Zhentian, his sons, and the clansmen remained unknown to the outside world. They were even more suitable to be regarded as a force in concealment and could be treated as the academy’s backup!

Er Ming’s voice suddenly turned unpleasant. “How can I say no to that? How can I make any decision! It’s up to all of you. I don’t qualify to disagree.” He was feeling guilty toward his clansmen. Even though they were his descendants, he had never done anything for them.

As a result, he did not mind consuming two drops of blood essence the other day in order to help out Yuanen Zhentian and Yuanen Tiandang.

Yuanen Zhentian chuckled. “So the decision has been made. I’ll arrange for some clansmen to stay behind to guard our ancestral house while the rest of the people shall follow me to move. All of you are satisfied now, right? I know that every single one of you has already made up your mind. Even if I keep your physical body, what’s the use if I can’t keep your mind here? This old man might as well leave with you.” The clan leader that had always been extremely stern revealed his humor on a rare occasion.

“Long live grandfather!” Yuanen Yehui abruptly pounced into Yuanen Zhentian’s arms and called out loud in excitement.

Yuanen Zhentian was stunned for a moment. He could not help being in a trance. The last time his granddaughter hugged him in such excitement seemed to be from when she was still very young.

As he recalled his granddaughter’s tragic encounter when she was young, he could not help hugging her tightly. “Don’t worry, grandfather will always be by your side in the future. Whoever dares to bully you, grandfather will beat him for you.”

He unintentionally took a glance at Xie Xie as he was speaking. Xie Xie felt chills run down his spine after noticing Yuanen Zhentian’s glance.

Xie Xie had made peace with the idea of his future father-in-law coming along with them yet now there was the father of his father-in-law. Those were two great Limit Douluos! How was he going to live out the rest of his life in the future? It was obvious that there was not much difference in Yuanen Zhentian’s gaze as compared to Yuanen Tiandang. He was in trouble!

Tang Wulin smiled as he watched the situation play out by the side. The result was simply amazing. It was his first time experiencing the advantage of being a Divine Craftsman. Even though it would certainly be laborious for him in the future, it was all worth it! It was considered as timely assistance for him to be able to take along so many powerhouses to help out in the reconstruction of Shrek Academy.
