“What else did she say? Tell me quickly!” The Boundless Sea Douluo shook Tang Wulin’s shoulders forcefully.
Tang Wulin spoke, “Elder Long said that she would never see you again unless Shrek is rebuilt.”
“Shrek is rebuilt?”
The violent rage Tang Wulin had predicted did l not appear. On the contrary, it seemed like the Boundless Sea Douluo was a little confused. Chen Xinjie loosened his grip on Tang Wulin and the expression on his face was filled with bitterness.
“Rebuild Shrek? Easier said than done. I’m willing to help you, but why can’t we be together? Why can’t we work hand in hand to accomplish that? Our lives are already growing shorter and shorter. Why aren’t you willing to let me spend a little time with you?”
At this very moment, Tang Wulin could clearly sense dreariness from this man’s body.
Tang Wulin dared not speak as he listened to Chen Xinjie’s heartfelt thoughts. He felt as his heart was filled with a strange sensation. Chen Xinjie was incomparably hardheaded and indomitable when he was facing Tang Wulin. Yet, he still remained uncertain in the face of love which was no different from Tang Wulin.
“Are you from Shrek Academy as well?” Chen Xinjie calmed his emotions. After all, he would only allow himself to forget who he was when before Long Yeyue.
Tang Wulin nodded. Since Elder Long had already allowed Tang Wulin to seek Chen Xinjie’s help by himself, it seemed like the Boundless Sea Douluo would be acting quite differently now.
Chen Xinjie squinted his eyes and glanced up and down at Tang Wulin a few times, sizing him up. “Your aim is to prevent war from happening, right?”
Tang Wulin nodded once again.
Chen Xinjie raised his head and looked up to the sky before heaving a sigh. “Understood. Perhaps only by taking real action will you forgive me in time. Please tell her on my behalf that I can only live for another ten years at most. I’ll spend every day of whatever time I have left helping to fulfill her wish. You have my communicator number, so do keep in touch. I can only hope that she can give me just one day when I’m about to reach the end of my life and then I’ll be content. I don’t know if Shrek Academy can be successfully rebuilt by then, but I pray that she will allow me to love her wholeheartedly even just for one day.”
Upon saying that, Chen Xinjie’s body suddenly turned into brilliant, glowing water-like ripples and vanished without a trace into thin air.
Even just for a day?
Tang Wulin was shocked by his words. What sort of love was that?! Love that remained as good as new despite the passing of time. He suddenly felt that Elder Long was a little cruel for doing this, but he quickly pushed that thought away. After all, he did not understand what actually happened between these two Limit Douluos.
“The effect seems to be rather impressive, huh?” Zang Xin appeared unnoticed behind Tang Wulin.
Feeling slightly helpless, Tang Wulin turned around and looked at him. He genuinely did not feel that good getting caught between three Limit Douluos.
“Your excellency, it seems like there’s no need for us to do anything much after this, right?” said Tang Wulin.
“Hmm, you can prepare to embark on your voyage with your companions. There’s no need to worry about the rest anymore.”
One day later, the Holy Spirit Cult suddenly seized control of a federal soul television station and claimed responsibility for the attack on the Eastsea Fleet. A great dispute broke out in the media.
The Dove Faction seized the opportunity to whip up the public opinion as to how to repel foreign invasion without proper internal security. The massive threat of the Holy Spirit Cult was already a pressing issue. They called for the Federation to prescribe a decree to suppress the Holy Spirit Cult as soon as possible.
In reality, the Holy Spirit Cult’s secrecy made suppressing them easier said than done, but at least the public’s attention was distracted to a certain degree.
Their concerns shifted from supporting war to the Holy Spirit Cult. The change in the direction of public opinion had some impact on the military. The Dove Faction launched a series of attacks on the Hawk Faction, such as mocking their inability to fight against the Holy Spirit Cult. How could the military carry out expeditions when the Holy Spirit Cult was seizing the opportunity to destroy the Federation from the inside?
The Dove Faction’s view could be described as saving the nation by a template. They did not oppose war anymore but they were telling common people how Holy Spirit Cult hidden within the federation was terrifying.
The people were whipped up into a frenzy immediately. The Dove Faction finally managed to gain the upper hand this time.
The federal general, the Sea God Army’s regimental commander, the War God Hall’s Hall Master, the Boundless Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie officially declared war on the Holy Spirit Cult. Moreover, they began sweeping Holy Spirit Cult on a large scale with Skysea City as the starting point.
It was apparent that war could not possibly happen within a short period of time under such circumstances.
On the other hand, an enormous-sized submarine as large as an enlarged whale cruised toward the distance soundlessly under the surface of Eastsea sea.
Tang Wulin sat cross-legged in his cabin as he meditated. When he first saw this submarine that was docked in a secret port, his entire person was stunned from astonishment.
Even though he had already learned of Tang Sect’s potential abilities yet he had never expected that Tang Sect would own such a war-rank terrifying submarine as powerful as this extent.
The federal government was just on the starting point in the research of submarine right now. The submarine formation did not exist in the federal fleet truly but there were only some experimental submarines enlisted in the service. On the other hand, Tang Sect owned such an enormous submarine.
The submarine was three hundred and sixty meters in length with its shape akin to a whale. Its thickest part was a full seventy-eight meters while its highest point was sixty-two meters. It was sufficient to carry five thousand people in combat.
There were specialized mecha cabin, soul cannon warehouse with obvious distribution of divisions. According to Amorous Douluo, the Thousand Holy-class submarine named with Thousand Hands Douluo and Holy Ice Douluo’s names possessed the newest technology that the federation had yet to possess. Its traveling speed was one third faster than the federation’s submarine while it was also much larger as compared to the federation’s submarine simultaneously.
It was driven with the most advanced soul circuit so it was capable of relying on absorption of water element before converting it into adequate propelling force. A five-ringed and above soul master would need to urge the soul circuit after every certain period of time and cleansed the impurities before it could continue its voyage theoretically.
It was equipped with thirty-six missile launchers and it was capable of launching fixed soul ammunitions below rank-6. Moreover, it was also equipped with specialized soul cannons targeted at underwater battle. According to the federal military’s antisubmarine ability, there was nothing the federation could do about this. It was capable of navigating long distance three thousand meters below sea level.
Tang Wulin had only truly understood the extent of Tang Sect’s technology standards after seeing the submarine. The ownership of such a submarine was Tang Sect’s true performance. It allowed them to have the ability to head to Dou Spirit and Star Luo Empires without fear of being discovered.
Tang Wulin and his team entered the submarine through a secret tunnel underground. The submarine itself was docked in the deep sea and it was linked to the underground level of ground through a special passage for supplies.
The federal naval had very weak underwater detection equipment so there was utterly no way their presence could be discovered.
They had finally departed. Thousand Holy-class bored deep into the sea and gradually moved away from Douluo Continent. It was already not Tang Wulin’s first time leaving Douluo Continent but it felt completely different this time.
The last time he headed to Star Luo Empire was for the purpose of a diplomatic mission. Moreover, he was but a student at the time. There was not much of responsibility on him but he was there mostly for participation. Even though he spent a total of a few years on Star Luo Continent after his encounter at Dragon Valley, yet he knew that he had still completely belonged to Douluo Continent at least in the depth of his heart at the time.
On the other hand, his doing now could even be described as giving supplies to the enemy judging from the Douluo Federation’s point of view. In a sense, he was already standing on the opposing side of the federation. Even though he had no qualms about this, how could he feel just the same as his previous occurrence?
The only thing Tang Wulin could do now was to use all the time he could to cultivate. Ye Xinglan and Yuanen Yehui continued to devote all their efforts to helping everyone to make three-word battle armor, hoping that they could make a few more before they arrived at the Dou Spirit Empire.
Tang Wulin’s encounter with the Darkness Bell was a warning to himself, as he learned that their current abilities were still inadequate when up against true powerhouses.
