Douluo: When Tang Wulin Met Little Huo Niang

Chapter 76 Security

It was not until ten minutes after Tang Wulin was thawed that the coldness in his body completely dissipated.

He now completely understood why Moon said he would suffer if he was careless.

He dared to say that he was not careless at all in this battle, but he was still suppressed by Huo Yutong from beginning to end.

Both the ice-blue sword and the soul shock were extremely terrifying, far beyond his ability to handle.

Of course, the most terrifying thing was the last light palm that seemed to have no lethality. After being hit by that palm, Tang Wulin only felt that all the energy and blood in his body were frozen, and no matter how he mobilized it, there was no movement.

Is this really an attack that a three-ringed Soul Master can launch? Tang Wulin has faced many Soul Master-level opponents before, but none of them has ever been able to defeat him, let alone someone who has completely crushed him like Huo Yutong.

As if seeing through his inner thoughts, Moon said gently:
"You don't have to be surprised. Yu Tong's martial soul is of the same species as the Snow Emperor, which ranks third among the ten fierce beasts. Snow Emperor's strength is considered the best among the Ultimate Douluo. Even if I hadn't been seriously injured that year, I would not have been able to defeat her. It can be said that this martial soul represents the limit of ice and snow martial souls."

"That's it..."

After Moon's explanation, Tang Wulin finally had a more accurate understanding of the strength of the Ice and Snow Girl's martial spirit.

His expression was a little complicated.

After acquiring this martial spirit, Huo Yutong's frontal combat capability has completely surpassed him.

Thinking that the girl who used to stand behind him every day and trust him wholeheartedly was now stronger than him, he felt happy for her but also a little lost.

Moon smiled and said:
"Anyway, you guys chat first. I'm going to tell the other elders of Poseidon Pavilion about Yu Tong. Now they shouldn't say anything nonsense like Yu Tong doesn't deserve to live in Poseidon Pavilion."

After saying this, he turned his wheelchair and entered the Poseidon Pavilion.

He was very satisfied with Huo Yutong's performance. Although the origin of her power was unknown, the same was true for Tang Wulin. If he could trust Tang Wulin, he could also trust Huo Yutong.

Besides, after this year, he has already figured out Huo Yutong's character. As long as Tang Wulin doesn't abandon her, she will never leave Tang Wulin. At the same time, she is grateful and will remember all the good things that happen to her. Obviously, she is not a bad girl, and he is very confident in her.

Of course, just because he was confident in her character didn't mean he wouldn't investigate the truth about her second martial soul. He still had to go to the Far North again after a while. He believed that Xue Di would have some idea about her affairs.

After Moon left, the atmosphere between Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong suddenly became a little awkward.

Huo Yutong asked cautiously:

"Wulin, are you angry?"

Because her martial soul is spiritual, she is very sensitive to emotions. Tang Wulin's current emotions are too complicated for her to understand, but he is definitely not very happy.

She couldn't help but wonder if she had been too harsh just now and made Tang Wulin unhappy.

Tang Wulin shook his head and said in a depressed tone:
"No, it's just that you've changed so much that I don't know how to face you for a moment."

Huo Yutong tilted his head in confusion.

"I've changed a lot?"

"Well, you've become so much stronger all of a sudden, stronger than me, and become someone I need to look up to. I always feel that the distance between you and me has become farther, and I can't accept it for a while... Am I ugly?"

As Tang Wulin said this, he felt a little ugly. It was undoubtedly a good thing that his friend became stronger, but he couldn't even honestly feel happy for him.

As a person like this, he deserves to be hated by Huo Yutong.

However, after hearing what he said, Huo Yutong's expression softened suddenly.

She gently held Tang Wulin's hand.

"No, Wulin, the fact that you're worried about the distance between us getting further away shows that you value me very much. I'm so happy, how could I not be happy?"

As she spoke, she mobilized her soul power and merged it with Tang Wulin's soul power. Facing Tang Wulin's surprised gaze, she showed a warm smile.

“You see, there is a deeper connection between us. Maybe I have indeed changed a lot, but no matter how much I have changed, I am still your Huo Yutong, and I will never leave you.”

Her tone was very gentle, like a mother coaxing her child, full of maternal kindness.

"Yutong..."

Tang Wulin stared blankly at Huo Yutong, whose face was filled with a happy smile, and couldn't help but feel his eyes getting a little red.

He couldn't help but hug her.

“Hey, Wu, Wu Lin?!”

Huo Yutong screamed, her face flushed with shyness, but she did not push him away.

Tang Wulin felt the soft touch in his arms and whispered:
"Thank you, Yutong, and I'm sorry."

He has actually been in a very unstable state during this period.

During the time when Huo Yutong was missing, he suddenly realized that the relationship between him and her was not as close as he had previously imagined.

In the past year, Huo Yutong had always been by his side, and the distance between him and her was so close that he had forgotten that she did not actually belong to him.

When she disappeared, he regretted his decision more than once. He was obviously worried about Huo Yutong, so why didn't he force her to stay or follow her? Why didn't he think that she might really be in danger?

Perhaps he had unknowingly taken her company for granted, believing that days like this could last forever.

It was because he realized his mistake that he was so uneasy about her growth.

Because he realized that Huo Yutong did not belong to him. She had her own things, her own secrets, and her own life. She could not stay by his side forever.

Just like what happened to Na'er in the past, the relationship between the two was so close, but she disappeared without a trace overnight.

It was just like his parents, who were once a harmonious family, but suddenly left.

This feeling is really bad. Tang Wulin's life so far has been a constant process of gaining and losing. He has already lost enough and really doesn't want to lose Huo Yutong again.

Although Huo Yutong's gentle words could not completely dispel his anxiety, they made him feel much more at ease.

The string that had been taut for a long time finally loosened, so much so that he could not control his emotions for a moment.

Huo Yutong felt Tang Wulin's body trembling slightly and her eyes softened.

She imitated her mother's behavior in her memory and patted Tang Wulin's back gently to soothe him.

Time seemed to slow down at this moment.

Digression
In a sense, Lao Huo and Wu Lin are actually the same.

I won't explain why Lao Huo lacked love, otherwise he wouldn't have been PUA so badly. Even though he was treated like that in the early days of the academy, he still regarded Shrek as his home.

Wu Lin is actually very fragile. Compared to Lao Huo’s lack of love, he is more like someone who lacks security. After all, Na’er and his parents left for unknown reasons. He is very afraid that the people around him will leave him. In Chapter 159 of the original novel, Gu Yue personally commented on his fragility.

But it’s good this way. When two people get close to each other, it’s either because they dislike each other due to their similar personalities, or because they both desire warmth and get closer to each other.

Yutong and Wulin are obviously the latter.
