The Legend of the Dragon King

Chapter 1460: The Test Begins

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The contestants were feeling extremely pleased with the method used for protecting a soul master’s privacy. No one wished to reveal their cultivation base so early before the start of the elimination rounds.

Tang Wulin was arranged in the middle of the front row. He followed the person in front of him as he walked forward. The image of Gu Yuena’s charming silhouette in the sky was still reverberating in his mind.

‘I’m sure that she knows that I’m here, just like how I can feel her presence.’

A faint smile emerged on Tang Wulin’s face. Their plan for this mission was very simple.

‘You’re organizing a Joust For A Spouse event, right? If I can only use marriage-seeking as my intention and also carry out a large amount of propaganda work to take away the Silver Dragon Princess in a perfectly justifiable manner, then Spirit Pagoda’s Joust For A Spouse event is going to fail.’

Moreover, Tang Wulin was going to reveal his identity at that time to promulgate to the world that Silver Dragon Princess was taken away by Tang Sect’s Sect Master.

This would certainly impact Spirit Pagoda’s efforts while Tang Wulin could return with a beauty by his side. He had yet to figure out Gu Yuena’s reason for always refusing to get together with him. If this was because of Spirit Pagoda’s threat, then he would make it clear to her that he already possessed the ability to protect her this time.

He was not only the Sect Master of Tang Sect and Shrek Academy’s Sea God’s Pavilion Master now, but he was also a Divine Craftsman!

He went from being a child to a person that had already walked to this point in less than twenty years. He was destined to step onto the pinnacle of life in the future.

He received unanimous approval from the academy and Tang Sect’s seniors upon discussing his thoughts. Shrek Academy had already made a public announcement. So the Tang Sect that was declared to be a treasonous organization would similarly need to make a public announcement.

‘Spirit Pagoda’s propaganda for Joust For A Spouse event has already been carried out with perfection. Then our Tang Sect will be in charge of the tasks that followed. All the attention is now focused on this Joust For A Spouse Festival and all the soul television channels are live streaming the event. The propaganda was targeted at Spirit Pagoda at present, but it’s still hard to tell which side will benefit the most from it.’

While he was engaged in deep thoughts, the line in front was already getting close to Tang Wulin’s turn. The youth standing in front of Tang Wulin turned around and asked Tang Wulin, “Brother, what’s your soul power rank? Why are they testing our soul power? I thought it was already tested during the registration? You’re allowed to take part if your soul power is rank-60 and above. Could it be that they’re going to adjust it?”

Tang Wulin shook his head and said, “I don’t know either! We shall put off until we’ve seen more. Perhaps it is due to the high number of registrations and it’s also normal for adjustment.”

The youth in front of him had a mediocre figure but a rather handsome face. His aura felt slightly obscure and it was apparent that the youth was using some method to conceal his cultivation base. Tang Wulin could only sense that he was a six-ringed soul master at most.

The youth chuckled. “Brother, let’s get to know each other! My name is Lan Fozi. What’s your name?”

Tang Wulin calmly smiled. “My name is Yu Longyue. Nice to meet you.”

The youth inquired closely, “Brother, you’ve yet to tell me about your cultivation base.”

Tang Wulin slightly frowned. “That’s a secret.”

Lan Fozi saw that Tang Wulin had an unapproachable look so he shrugged and turned around. Meanwhile, it was already Lan Fozi’s turn to take the test.

He walked onto the platform. The radiance from the large-scale soul power tester shone down soon after and completely enshrouded his body.

The radiance rose up a few seconds later. Lan Fozi turned his head to the side and smiled at Tang Wulin before walking down from the other side. He walked to the next test zone under the staff’s guidance.

The staff stationed in front of the soul power tester made an invitatory hand gesture at Tang Wulin. So Tang Wulin walked up to the platform.

The gentle radiance enshrouded and covered his body. Tang Wulin had no expression on his face but he was sensing the energy change of the soul power tester in minute details.

He could sense that soul power was stimulating his body gently from all directions. On the other hand, his soul power produced a certain level of reaction corresponding to the stimulation. There was no doubt that the soul power tester gathered the corresponding reaction in order to verify the soul master’s cultivation base.

Tang Wulin was not attempting to conceal his soul power so he naturally allowed it to complete the test.

A few seconds later, the electronic chip located in the bracelet on his wrist vibrated. Tang Wulin lowered his head and took a look at the tiny display on the outside of the chip. It revealed a ten point score on the display.

There were ten tests in this round and a total of sixty was considered as pass. Also, ten was the highest score achievable in a single test. The grading system was rather similar to Shrek Academy’s intake examination back then!

Tang Wulin walked down from the soul power tester and discovered that Lan Fozi was still waiting in the nearby area. Lan Fozi hastily waved his hand at Tang Wulin upon seeing him coming down from the platform.

Tang Wulin walked over as Lan Fozi softly asked, “Brother, what’s your score? You can tell me, right?”

Tang Wulin frowned. “Ten points.”

Lan Fozi was stunned for a moment. “Ten? That’s the same as me. Great! Brother, it seems like we’re competitors.” As he was speaking, he raised the electronic chip on his hand and waved it in front of Tang Wulin.

As expected, the display recorded ten points too.

Tang Wulin felt as his chest tightened. He could not help paying a little attention to this boy that was overly enthusiastic. If a Title Douluo could achieve ten points in a score, then could it be that the boy that appeared not older than Tang Wulin by a few years was also a Title Douluo? But his aura did not seem to be as powerful!

Lan Fozi was obviously feeling quite arrogant. “Heh-heh. Brother, I can’t tell you my secret when you won’t tell me yours. Let’s head to the second round.”

Tang Wulin smiled and made an invitatory hand gesture at him.

Another large-scale soul device was similarly waiting for them in the second round but it was sealed. There was no telling about its appearance from the outside. Its overall size was much larger than the soul power tester used earlier and it was also the largest out of all the soul devices on the scene.

Lan Fozi had an eager look on his face. He said, “I wonder what we will be tested here for.”

Tang Wulin paid attention and noticed that two people entered the device together for this round. He could sense that the participants were supposed to exit from the other end for the third round.

Even though there were many people participating in this festival, the event’s pacing was still rather swift due to proper arrangements. Soon, it was Tang Wulin and Lan Fozi’s turn. They were to enter the device together.

They walked into the large-scale soul device and an electronic voice reminder was heard at once.

“This is a speed test. Later on, you’ll be passing through a pathway. Please try to avoid the attacks from the light shadows that appear in your surroundings to the best of your abilities. The more you get touched by the light shadows, the lower your score will be and vice versa. There are no rules to the light shadow’s attacks.”

There was a pathway in the center of the large-scale soul device as expected. It appeared to be about thirty meters long. The contestant before them was about to begin the test so Tang Wulin and Lan Fozi could not help but look at him.

“Begin!” Soon after the electronic voice was heard, the contestant in front of them pushed himself with his toes against the ground. Six soul rings arose on his body in a split second. There were two yellow, three purple and one black soul rings. It was a rather impressive combination of colors for his soul rings. He swayed his body once before he dashed over.

However, it was apparent that this person was a strength-type soul master. His speed was not as swift as expected. On the other hand, a stretch of light shadows surged out in succession from the walls on the two sides of the pathway at once.

These light shadows were in human form and they were poised in human form attacking method. The light shadows dashed out from the sides and even from the top of the pathway. They did not cause any substantial attacking effect but the electronic voice earlier had already explained clearly that one’s score would be reduced upon coming in contact with the light shadows.

The soul master dodged left and right but it was apparent that he had been touched by a dozen light shadows at the very least. By the time he dashed past the passage and turned around to look at the position that he had just passed through before, his expression was all dejected.

There was a total of over thirty light shadows. His result would not be too optimistic after coming in contact with a dozen light shadows.

The next person was naturally Lan Fozi. He turned around and cracked into a smile towards Tang Wulin. “Brother, watch me.”
