Tang Wulin stared at him in bewilderment. He never thought that Zang Xin would come up with such tricks. The older generation of powerhouses was extraordinary and impressive indeed just as expected!
The Amorous Douluo spoke, “I noticed that the Darkness Phoenix’s emotion was rather peculiar when we were fighting. She had completely changed compared to the person we knew back in those days. She was eccentric so I figured that her character was a little twisted because she mentioned that she loved Yun Ming during the conversation. I can confirm that she took part in the battle that destroyed Shrek Academy. She revealed that she had captured Yun Ming’s soul. It was truly a demented idea.”
Tang Wulin spoke, “Your Excellency, can a person’s soul still exist when the person has lost his body?”
Zang Xin answered, “Not for an ordinary person, but it’s not impossible for a Limit Douluo who has already achieved demigod rank. Perhaps, you’re not aware of how powerful Yun Ming is. It’s because you weren’t born in the same generation like us. Speaking of which, you’re quite similar to Yun Ming when he was younger. At the time, he was unparalleled among his peers. In addition to his background from Shrek Academy, he was the dream lover of almost all the outstanding female soul masters. He was also a romantic youth, so he flirted with many female soul masters which resulted in the neverending love trysts later on. The sisters, the Dark Phoenix Douluo Leng Yulai and the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu both loved him once. You should have met the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo before. She’s the deputy Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda.”
“Huh?” Tang Wulin was greatly astonished. When he met the Dark Phoenix Douluo, she had already transformed into her martial soul avatar the Darkness Phoenix, but he had not seen her true appearance. He never expected this person to be Leng Yaozhu’s sister.
“Both of them fell in love with Yun Ming back in the beginning. I think Yun Ming made a favorable impression on them too. In any case, they were siblings. It was precisely because of Yun Ming that the sisters had a fallout in their relationship. Who would have known that Yun Ming didn’t choose either of them but ended up together with the Holy Spirit Douluo? The Heavenly Phoenix Douluo gloomily left while the Dark Phoenix Douluo stirred up trouble. Anyway, I don’t know much about what happened afterward. Judging from the current situation, I think that the Dark Phoenix Douluo was badly hurt then.”
“Yun Ming was genuinely a female magnet at the time. He became the Sea God’s Pavilion Master by completely relying on his ability. He became a Title Douluo when he was twenty-three years old, a Hyper Douluo at twenty-six, then a Limit Douluo at thirty-one. He created miracles and was being compared to both His Excellency, the Tang Sect’s earliest ancestor, the Thousand Hands Douluo Tang San, and the Spirit Pagoda’s founder who is also the Tang Sect’s ancestor, the Holy Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao. It was thought that he could rely on his cultivation base to enter the Divine Realm at the time had the Divine Realm not vanished. Yun Ming thought so too.”
“You’ll notice this if you pay close attention. Yun Ming was always youthful. There were not many people from the same generation of Limit Douluos who were comparable to him. Cao Dezhi and I consumed some heaven and earth treasures from the Icefire Polarized Eyes in order to retain our youthful looks. On the other hand, he only relied on his cultivation base. We’re all Limit Douluos and four-word battle armor masters. Cao Dezhi and I together can barely suppress him even with our greatest efforts. For sure, we can’t defeat him.”
“The power of a Godkiller-rank fixed soul ammunition is more terrifying than you can imagine. If not for Yun Ming’s solo effort in fending off the majority of the attack force, your classmates couldn’t possibly flee underground. Even the underground would have been destroyed by the explosion. He was the main reason for your survival. If not for protecting all of you, a Godkiller-rank fixed soul ammunition may not necessarily have killed Yun Ming. Furthermore, what I gathered from the Dark Phoenix Douluo was that the two emperors from the Holy Spirit Cult were present on the day of the attack. Yun Ming was fighting against them when he had to ward off the power of the explosion. Otherwise, there would have been more survivors from Shrek.”
It was Tang Wulin’s first time listening to someone recounting the Atlas Douluo Yun Ming’s abilities. He was capable of rivaling the Amorous Douluo and Heartless Douluo with his solo effort. One could only imagine how formidable the Atlas Douluo was.
“He was the universally acknowledged number one man regardless of his abilities. It’s quite normal for his soul to remain due to his spiritual cultivation base. Moreover, I believe he has a way that will stop the Holy Spirit Cult from using his soul. If we can exchange for his soul, although he can’t possibly be the Atlas Douluo anymore, it will still be meaningful for Shrek Academy. At least, the Holy Spirit Douluo will be in a much better mood.”
Tang Wulin took a deep breath. “So, the Holy Spirit Cult has agreed to this?”
“Hmm.” The Amorous Douluo nodded. “They have no choice but to consent. The Darkness Phoenix is one of the four great heavenly kings, so she is very important to the Holy Spirit Cult. She stands a chance to become a Limit Douluo with her natural endowment. As compared to the other souls, it’s apparently more important to the Dark Phoenix Douluo Leng Yulai. Moreover, there’s a divine weapon on Leng Yulai’s body that the Holy Spirit Cult can’t bear to part. Thus, they propose for us to return both the person and the item.”
“Are you talking about the spatial-type divine weapon?” Tang Wulin had sensed the power of the Almighty Space-time Shuttle at the time. It was a powerful spatial-type divine weapon that could engulf a large delivery truck directly!
Zang Xin smiled and nodded. “Precisely. However, we won’t return it to them so easily. We’ve already reached an agreement with them, that is to return the Dark Phoenix Douluo first while they acknowledge their responsibility for the attacks. At the same time, they must pledge not to start a war within a year. It’s only when there’s no war for a whole year that we’ll return them the spatial-type divine weapon. They’ll also have to return Yun Ming’s soul to us simultaneously.”
Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment. “Your Excellency, the Atlas Douluo’s soul is very important!” Although it was only a soul and no longer a Limit Douluo-rank powerhouse, the Atlas Douluo served as a very important spiritual symbol of Shrek Academy. No other item could measure up to that, not even a divine weapon.
Zang Xin spoke with all apparent seriousness, “I’ve considered this matter closely and discussed it with the Holy Spirit Douluo. It’s the most proper approach for this matter. Despite the fact that Yun Ming’s soul will only be returned later, the spatial-type divine weapon is equally important for your trip to the two great empires. With it, you’ll be able to use it to enhance both your offense and defense.”
“Yun Ming’s soul? What’s going on?” Meanwhile, a peculiar voice was heard. A radiance flashed once and the Light Dark Douluo Long Yeyue appeared at their side. She had regained her senile appearance. On the surface, she did not appear to have any emotional changes.
Zang Xin’s expression was frozen for a moment as he coughed once upon seeing her sudden arrival. “Elder Long.”
“Humph!” Long Yeyue struck the dragon-headed cane in her hand against the ground once as she looked at Zang Xin with a burning gaze.
Zang Xin spoke helplessly, “I had no choice but to carry out a few tasks at the same time. Moreover, it’s about time to let Chen Xinjie know that you’re still alive. Otherwise, his presence will pose a big problem for us to evade the war.”
Long Yeyue did not speak, but she looked at him coldly.
Zang Xin’s expression appeared slightly stiff. “Er… Elder Long. I still have many tasks to handle regarding the exchange with the Holy Spirit Cult. Let’s discuss this later.” His body swayed once and transformed into a stream of radiance before vanishing completely.
Long Yeyue did not bother to chase after Zang Xin. The raging aura from her body dissipated soon after Zang Xin left. Her gaze landed upon Tang Wulin who appeared a little anxious by her side.
“Elder Long.” Tang Wulin dared not ask. Judging by Long Yeyue’s expression, he had a hard time figuring out the outcome of her discussion with the Boundless Sea Douluo.
Long Yeyue spoke indifferently, “I’m going back to the Tang Sect. If you need to seek Chen Xinjie’s help in the future, tell him that you’re my disciple. Tell him what you wish to divulge. If he asks about my location, then please tell him that I’ll not see him until Shrek is rebuilt.”
Her body swayed once before she, too, vanished without a trace.
Tang Wulin did not manage to reply in time. He had learned about the Atlas Douluo’s personal entanglements today. So, he felt that the older generation had their issues too!
Gu Yuena’s charming silhouette emerged in his mind once again. He grabbed the pendant hanging around his neck subconsciously.
‘Gu Yue, we won’t be like our seniors loving each other, yet can’t be together, right?’
‘Is the Spirit Pagoda making things difficult for you? Perhaps, I’m not powerful enough in the final analysis! I’ll work hard and put in extra effort to become a Title Douluo as soon as possible. Then, I’ll look for you.’
Meanwhile, the surrounding air suddenly tightened. A light shadow flashed once. The Boundless Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie appeared out of thin air, obviously in an emotionally-charged state. He could not help being stunned upon seeing Tang Wulin. He grabbed Tang Wulin’s arm at once.
“Have you seen her?” He could sense Long Yeyue’s aura. He had come looking for her at his swiftest. How could he remain calm when he still could not see her?
Tang Wulin nodded.
“Where’s she?” asked Chen Xinjie in exasperation. Long Yeyue had used an unknown method such that he could not sense her presence anymore.
Tang Wulin spoke, “I’m Elder Long’s disciple. The grand old woman tells me that I can request anything from you. Then…” Tang Wulin paused for a moment at this juncture because he felt unsure about the Boundless Sea Douluo’s emotional stability. He was wondering if he should tell Chen Xinjie about Elder Long’s latter utterance.
