Douluo Dragon King: Nine Dragons Break the Abyss

Chapter 341 Tang Wulin: Huh? Me?

"Teacher Wu, has our academy... moved to Soto City?"

On the Soul Guidance Train, Tang Wulin asked Wu Changkong, who was standing to the side with a serious expression.

Just as he was buying the ticket, Tang Wulin had this question in his mind.

In fact, Tang Wulin had made some mental preparations after the accident at the academy.

Wu Changkong remained silent for a moment, not directly answering Tang Wulin's question, but instead asking in return:
"Wu Lin, you've been a member of the Tang Sect for five years now, haven't you?"

The sudden question startled Tang Wulin at first, then he subconsciously nodded in response:
"It's been almost five years."

Wu Changkong nodded: "As members of the Tang Sect, we are certainly familiar with the sect's history. More than ten thousand years ago, the once-prosperous Tang Sect was reduced to a second-rate sect. We even lost our ancestral home in Tiandou City. You know what happened after that. Under the leadership of Huo Yuhao, the Spirit Ice Douluo and the restorer of the Tang Sect, the Tang Sect became great again!"

At this point, Wu Changkong looked intently at Tang Wulin, placing his large hand on Tang Wulin's shoulder, making the latter feel a sense of solidity.

"Wu Lin, I have to break my promise..."

"You now have to take on more responsibility."

Originally, Wu Changkong did not want to put so much pressure on Tang Wulin.

Cola Jung-woo's departure forced him to change his previous mindset.

If Yue Zhengyu hadn't left, as the young master of the Holy Angel Family, he would have been able to secure the family's support for Shrek Academy. In fact, under the influence of the Angel Family, most of the southern aristocratic families would have leaned towards Shrek Academy.

With the support of this force, it would be incredibly easy for Shrek Academy to make a comeback.

The fact that Yue Zhengyu was taken away is undoubtedly a signal released by the Holy Angels family.

No one wanted to offend the now-powerful Spirit Pagoda for the sake of Shrek Academy.

Moreover, the Spirit Pagoda currently houses the most powerful individual combat force on the Douluo Continent! The youngest Divine Craftsman!
Each of the superlative suffixes is enough to make Wu Changkong feel breathless.

What truly pained him was that his former comrades had also joined the Spirit Pagoda due to ideological differences...

After listening to Wu Changkong's words, Tang Wulin nodded solemnly in response:
"Teacher Wu, I understand."

"I made a vow on the ship. In this life, I will fight for the greatness of Shrek Academy and Tang Sect once again! To become a hero like the Spirit Ice Douluo!"

Tang Wulin was filled with excitement; he could feel an epic aura emanating from him.

It was as if he had come here just for this moment.

Wu Changkong shook his head and said, "Wu Lin, you are you, you don't have to be like Lingbing Douluo."

"Your life is destined to be extraordinary."

Tang Wulin: ???

Faced with Tang Wulin's question, Wu Changkong simply smiled and remained silent.

The mystery of Tang Wulin's identity will have to wait until they arrive at Shrek Academy to discuss it with the Pavilion Master and the others...

only……

Inside a simple office at Shrek Academy.

Cai Yue'er was like an angry female leopard, her face showing displeasure and her eyes bloodshot.

She grabbed Cao Dezhi by the collar, her whole body trembling slightly.

"Cao Dezhi, you...you say it again, what happened to Yun...Yun Ming?"

Just now, Cai Yue'er learned from Cao Dezhi that Yun Ming, Long Yeyue, and Zang Xin had died at the hands of Qian Gu Qi Tian.

This news came like a bolt from the blue, shocking Cai Yue'er even more than the attack on Shrek Academy!
In Cai Yue'er's heart, Yun Ming was undoubtedly number one, and his position was unshakeable.

Even Shrek Academy, which ranked second, owes a great deal to Yun Ming.

She couldn't accept this fact!
Cao Dezhi's face was ashen and lifeless, his eyes empty and vacant.

Clearly, he has not yet recovered from the grief of Zang Xin's departure.

That was the person he deeply loved!
Their forbidden love was not accepted by the world, but they still loved each other, which shows how deep their feelings were.

If the Tang Sect didn't need a Limit Douluo to manage the situation, Cao Dezhi would have already followed Zang Xin.

"I said... Yunming, His Majesty Guang'an, and Duoqing were all murdered by Qian Gu Qitian's scheme."

Cao Dezhi mechanically repeated what he had said earlier.

The last glimmer of hope in Cai Yue'er's heart vanished, and her heart sank to the bottom.

Despite losing her chastity, she still lives on strongly, sustained by the belief in the name "Yunming".

Now that the pillar has collapsed, Cai Yue'er feels dizzy and disoriented.

The immense psychological shock caused her vision to go black, and her entire body was in a state of near collapse.

My...Yunming...is dead...

Cao Dezhi continued:

"Please accept my condolences. Shrek Academy and Tang Sect are now suffering from a shortage of talent. If we fall, Shrek Academy and Tang Sect will truly be finished."

"At that time, how will we face the ancestors of Shrek Academy and Tang Sect?"

In the end, Cai Yue'er remained standing, however,

Two lines of clear tears slid down Cai Yue'er's cheeks.

“I understand what you mean. Reviving Shrek Academy and Tang Sect must also be Yun Ming’s long-cherished wish, and I will help him achieve this goal.”

Cao Dezhi nodded:
"It's good that you've thought it through."

"Our only hope for turning things around now lies in that kid Wu Lin. He carries the noble bloodline of the great ancestor Tang San."

Mentioning Tang Wulin, Cai Yue'er, her heart in turmoil, couldn't help but recall that somewhat unbearable night.

That feeling wasn't disgust...

“I understand.” Cai Yue’er’s tone returned to calm, but the moisture in her eyes and the sadness in her eyes still spoke of her grief. “When Tang Wulin returns, I will make him the new head of the Sea God Pavilion. He will bear the responsibility of reviving Shrek Academy. And… take revenge on the Spirit Pagoda.”

Cai Yue'er spoke the last six words very calmly, but they sent a chill down Cao Dezhi's spine.

Cao Dezhi opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't say anything to persuade him.

Actually... Cai Yue'er is right.

The Spirit Pagoda is undoubtedly the biggest obstacle to the revival of Shrek Academy and Tang Sect.

Once the Spirit Pagoda is destroyed, there really isn't any force on the entire Douluo Continent that can stop the revival of Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect.

"Very well... When Wu Lin returns, I will hand over the position of Tang Clan leader to him. The two organizations are now essentially one entity, so there's no need to keep such a clear distinction."

"Are you willing?"

Cai Yue'er raised an eyebrow.

The Tang Sect is not like Shrek Academy.

Although the Tang Sect headquarters was basically wiped out, the Tang Sect still had many branches. Compared to organizations like Shrek Academy that were tied to cities, the losses were relatively small.

At least on the other two continents, the Tang Clan has retained a relatively intact portion of its power.

"What's there to be reluctant about? The Tang Clan was founded by Wu Lin's father. What's wrong with a son inheriting his father's legacy?"

Cao Dezhi takes it all in stride.

He was never someone who craved power.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed in the Blood God Legion for sixty years.

Moreover, given the current situation, he really had no other options...

……

My home in the eastern suburbs of Mingdu.

Qian Gu Qi Tian met Ling Zi Chen, who was travel-worn.

The passionate Ling Zichen and Qian Gu Qitian hit it off immediately and had an in-depth conversation.

Ling Zichen nestled against Qian Gu Qitian's chest like a kitten, her face flushed with a captivating blush, her red lips slightly parted. "Husband~"

A charming, coquettish voice rang out, sending chills down Qian Gu Qi Tian's spine.

He gently stroked Ling Zichen's smooth back, saying with a hint of helplessness:

"Sister Pear, the God-Slaying Soul-Guided Cannonball is too dangerous. Not to mention, you're going to disassemble it..."

Although Qian Gu Qi Tian knew that Ling Zichen from the original timeline had not only dismantled the Eternal Heaven, but had even integrated it into his body, nothing unexpected happened in the end.

But he still didn't want Ling Zichen to do that.

Having studied soul-guided technology, he knew all too well how dangerous it was to do this.

Who knows if the outcome will change after he sets the gears of fate in motion?

If anything were to happen to Ling Zichen, Qian Gu Qi Tian would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.

"But that's exactly what I want!"

Ling Zichen extended a slender finger and drew a circle on Qian Gu Qitian's chest.

"As you know, this is my job. I am not a Soul Master, just an ordinary person. My whole life has been deeply bound to Soul Guidance Projectiles. My father and mother were also researchers of Soul Guidance Projectiles, and even the God-Slaying Soul Guidance Projectile in your hand has the involvement of my ancestors."

"I just want to see the ultimate crystallization of the soul-guided cannon shell; it's my lifelong dream."

Ling Zichen looked at Qian Gu Qitian with teary eyes, her face full of grievance, and said:

"Husband, I don't have much time left. Do you want to see me die with regrets?"

The eternal Qitian remained unmoved.

"No."

At that moment, he was like a heartless scumbag who would pull out a gun without hesitation.

Seeing that gentle persuasion was ineffective, Ling Zichen angrily revealed her little tiger teeth and bit Qian Gu Qitian's broad shoulder.

"I'm so angry! That wretched brat!!!"

Ling Zichen didn't bite hard; she was just blaming Qian Gu Qitian.

Throughout history, the emperor has been indifferent to the Dao.

"Lies don't hurt people, but the truth is the sharpest knife."

"Sister Pear, I'm not evil, nor am I a ghost. Most importantly, I'm not a child. You know that last point."

Ling Zichen blushed and glared fiercely at Qian Gu Qitian.

A thousand-year-old emperor smiled slightly:
"Alright, alright, Sister Pear, don't be angry."

Qian Gu Qi Tian whispered in Ling Zi Chen's ear:
"How about this, if you can make me beg for mercy, Sister Pear, I'll grant your request..."

"real?!"

Ling Zichen blushed and asked with some suspicion.

The Eternal Heavenly King laughed and said:
"Of course, I always keep my word."

"it is good!"

This gamble, whose outcome was predetermined, ended with Ling Zichen crying and calling out "good brother" several times.

Looking at the sleeping Ling Zichen, Qian Gu Qitian, after some deliberation, decided to let Ling Zichen research the God-Slaying Soul Guidance Cannon.

The two god-slaying soul-guided cannon shells are just sitting there anyway, so we might as well make use of them.

That is the culmination of the highest level of soul guidance technology in the Sun Moon Federation today!
Although it is a masterpiece from two thousand years ago, it is still the most advanced technology in terms of offense, bar none.

Soul guidance technology has not made much progress in the past thousand years. The depletion of resources and the birth of god-slaying soul guidance shells, among other factors, have restricted the development of soul guidance technology.

Today's Soul Guidance Technology focuses more on the energy sector in order to improve energy conversion efficiency.

In response, there are now more and stronger defensive soul tools.

With top scientist Ling Zichen leading the way, it might actually be possible to put the stagnant soul guidance technology back on the road to progress.

Of course, it's impossible for Ling Zichen to conduct research on his own.

The Emperor Qian Gu Qi Tian has this power, but he will not abuse it.

Moreover, if it's obviously more convenient to play within the rules, why break them?
Moreover, even the mighty Qitian wouldn't trust Ling Zichen to conduct the research alone...

The following day, Ling Zichen joined the Strategic Weapons Committee as a specially appointed scientist of Qian Gu Qitian, the chairman of the Sun and Moon Federation Strategic Weapons Committee.

Having "achieved his goal," Ling Zichen completely abandoned the task of studying the ancient classics and devoted himself to scientific research.

The notorious young master, corrupted by evil capitalism, spends almost all his time with his young female slave, and occasionally goes home to keep company with his sisters, mother and daughter, and master and apprentice...

……

On the other side, Tang Wulin and his group, carrying the hopes of Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect's revival, finally arrived at the Soto City Soul Guidance Train Station, where his loyal Shrek Academy was located.

After getting off the Soul Guidance Train, the group boarded a Soul Guidance Bus and, after a bumpy ride, finally arrived at Shrek Academy.

Along the way, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Xu Lizhi's expressions had already completely collapsed.

Because the area the bus passed through was almost entirely farmland.

Everyone was certain that the academy had opened a branch in the village.

Xie Xie, sitting in the car, said with a mix of laughter and tears:

"The academy has really returned to its original starting point."

Knowing more, Tang Wulin said helplessly:
"The academy's assets have been frozen, so we can only come to this original school building."

Back then, Shrek Academy moved out of Heaven Dou City and inherited the Spirit City established by the Spirit Hall, renaming it Shrek City. Then, it sold the Heaven Dou City campus at a low price.

However, the current headmaster of Shrek Academy spent a large sum of money to buy the permanent property rights to the original school site in Soto City.

The purpose was to leave Shrek Academy a place where the seeds of revival could take root and sprout.

The vast majority of Shrek Academy's assets were "reasonably" acquired by the Spirit Pagoda in various ways, but this "asset" not registered under Shrek Academy's name was preserved.

Of course, a large part of the reason is that this place is too dilapidated and too small. The Spirit Pagoda has just swallowed up the entire city and has no time to care about this tiny sesame seed.

As soon as Tang Wulin got out of the car, Cai Yue'er pulled him away alone.

Throughout the journey, Tang Wulin was filled with unease, the enchanting memories of that night still lingering in his mind.

In the end, Tang Wulin was pulled into Cai Yue'er's office.

Cai Yue'er looked at Tang Wulin and said very seriously:
"Wu Lin, do you still want me?"

"what?"

Tang Wulin was startled by this blunt question.

"I……"

He didn't know how to answer.

If he were to say he wanted to, he'd be afraid Cai Yue'er would slap him to death.

But to say you don't want to... that's a lie. How could a boy who has tasted meat not crave it?

Seeing Tang Wulin at a loss, Cai Yue'er secretly shook her head in her heart.

Tang Wulin is still not decisive enough.

Those who aspire to great things must avoid hesitation and indecisiveness.

Cai Yue'er took Tang Wulin's hand and placed it on her soft spot.

Tang Wulin's eyes widened, and he froze completely.

"Wu Lin, promise me, from now on, once you kill Qian Gu Qi Tian, ​​I will be yours."

Tang Wulin: Huh? Me?
