Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 56 Gu Yue: There’s my saliva on it Nan Liujing: It’s okay, I don’t mind!
"Advanced assessment passed, perfect evaluation."

"What's coming up next is the top-level assessment. Please be prepared."

Nan Liujing was panting and looking into the distance.

The white light condensed and turned into a figure again.

It was still Tang San, his appearance had not changed at all, with the Blue Silver Emperor emerging from his right hand and the Clear Sky Hammer on his left shoulder. He still had three ten-thousand-year spirit rings on his body, but they were a little red in color.

“…” Nan Liujing was silent.

Actually, it was not so bad. In the top-level assessment, he thought Tang San would take the Trident of Poseidon. It was considered that the people of Tang Sect had a conscience.

But not much.

hum~
At this moment, the entire battlefield suddenly twisted, as if the calm surface of the water was stirred.

Nan Liujing's body was enveloped by a beam of light and he quickly left the area.

"Out."

As soon as Nan Liujing returned to the room, several figures came up to him, and the one who spoke was Xie Xie.

Nan Liujing noticed that their faces looked unhappy and their breathing was rather disordered. It seemed that they were being suppressed and beaten the whole time, just like in the original time and space.

Tang Wulin asked curiously, "Brother Nan, how many levels have you passed?"

"Three levels." Nan Liujing paused, uttering the two words. Without the aid of battle armor, the final test would be impossible to pass.

Xie Xie's face was bruised and swollen, and he smiled bitterly, "Brother Nan, you're so strong! I was defeated in the first round. The most painful thing is that I couldn't leave that battlefield even after I lost. If it weren't for the light protecting me, I would probably have been beaten to death."

"I'm still the same."

Tang Wulin listened and gave a bitter smile. Thinking of the loli figure holding the flute and swinging the giant tripod, his body trembled. It was too terrifying. She suppressed him the whole time and he had almost no chance to fight back.

They are all one link, why is there such a big difference?
Even his most confident power was almost defeated. What kind of monster is this?
"What about you?" Nan Liujing asked Gu Yue with concern.

Gu Yue's pretty face turned pale as she said, "I have one less level than you."

"Awesome." Nan Liujing didn't know what to say, so he just gave a thumbs up.

It’s mainly because Na’er and Xinglan are not here, otherwise I would have rubbed their heads.

"Come over to me," Wu Zhangkong, who was standing on the side, said.

Xie Xie and Tang Wulin looked at each other, thinking that they were going to be criticized.

However, the imagined cold reprimand from Wu Changkong did not appear. After everyone came to his side, light rose from the ground. The next moment, strong spatial fluctuations emerged. When everything returned to calm, they had already arrived at another large office.

There are sofas, coffee tables and fruit plates on them.

"Everyone, please sit down." Wu Zhangkong tried his best to suppress his emotions. "Help yourselves with the fruit. It can replenish your depleted soul power and blood. Once you have some time to relax, I will explain the reason why I brought you here."

Tang Wulin's eyes lit up. Ever since he had Old Tang, he had reviewed countless top-quality ingredients. The fruits in this fruit plate might seem insignificant, but in fact, the cheapest one cost several thousand federal coins. They were definitely top-quality fruits.

He aimed at a banana-shaped, crystal-clear fruit that emitted the most energy.

But there was a hand faster than his, it was Nan Liujing.

Tang Wulin scratched his head after failing to grab the fruit, and immediately competed with Xie Xie for other fruits.

"Here." Nan Liujing handed it to Gu Yue casually and said in a gentle voice, "This is called Bai Ling Fruit. It can speed up the recovery of mental strength."

Gu Yue raised her eyes and met Nan Liujing's gentle gaze. Her mind was in a state of confusion, but when she thought that this guy was just after her beauty, she snorted inwardly and said with a gentle smile, "Thank you."

She reached out to take it, but when she grabbed the fruit, she suddenly felt a slight touch on her palm, as if someone was stroking her palm with fingertips.

After a moment of hesitation, Gu Yue immediately became alert, but when he looked over, he didn't get any response.

Nan Liujing, on the other hand, looked confused: "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

"No."

Gu Yue lowered his head and pursed his lips.

Nan Liujing's lips curled up silently.

It seemed that her mental energy was really depleted. Gu Yue quickly peeled off the skin of the white jade fruit with her slender white fingers, opened her red lips slightly, and took a small bite.

The flesh is soft and glutinous, and tastes sweet but not cloying.

Strands of cool energy flowed into the body, and the originally exhausted mental strength was indeed relieved a little.

A satisfied smile flashed in those silver eyes that contained a clear light.

"Teacher Wu, do you have any more Bai Ling Fruit?"

While eating, she heard Nan Liujing asking questions to Wu Changkong, who was gesturing with a tablet computer.

"No more." Wu Zhangkong looked up at Nan Liujing, then glanced at Gu Yue. "Your mental energy has been greatly depleted. You can meditate to recover. We have plenty of time, so there's no rush to leave."

"Okay." Nan Liujing rubbed his temples, his face full of fatigue. Anyone could see that his mental strength was weak.

Gu Yue was stunned and looked at the Bai Ling Fruit, one third of which was left. There was still a bit of moisture on the translucent flesh, and she couldn't tell whether it was the juice of the flesh itself or her trace.

So... he gave me the only fruit in the fruit bowl that could restore my mental strength?
When Gu Yue lowered her head, Nan Liujing leaned over to her, bringing with him a pleasant and fresh scent.

This scene seemed to replicate the scene in the food stall, and Gu Yue's fair earlobes suddenly turned an unnatural red.

"Wasting food is not allowed." Nan Liujing said with a serious face.

"I just..." Gu Yue wanted to explain that he was just eating slowly and didn't want to waste food.

But the next second her eyes widened.

"It's okay. I'll help you if you can't finish it." Nan Liujing didn't wait for her to finish, he took it away and drank it in one gulp.

Gu Yue was stunned and said subconsciously: "That's what I ate."

"Mmm, so sweet." Nan Liujing chewed and pretended not to hear clearly: "What?"

"Nothing... nothing." Gu Yue tilted her head slightly, her pretty face flushed.

"All right."

Wu Changkong turned off the tablet and looked up.

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie quickly swallowed the fruit in their mouths and sat upright, waiting for the teacher to speak.

Ok?
Why is Gu Yue blushing?
This room isn't hot.

Wu Zhangkong glanced at Nan Liujing, whose mouth was puffed out, and Gu Yue, whose blush had not yet faded, and said calmly, "You should have a clear understanding of the Hall of Heroes. How do you feel about it?"

Tang Wulin was the first to speak: "Very powerful. When I faced him, I couldn't even use 70% of my abilities. I was led around by the nose the entire time."

Xie Xie said in a serious tone, "I have similar opinions to Wu Lin, but this Hall of Heroes has also broadened my horizons. When fighting against similar Agility Attack Spirit Masters, even though I can only take beatings, I can quickly accumulate combat experience, which is invaluable."

Wu Changkong glanced towards the ancient moon.

Gu Yue's fair cheeks were no longer hot, and she said in a deep voice, "The Hall of Heroes seems to be targeting me. I have strong mental power, and the opponent I met also happens to be good at mental power."

Without asking Nan Liujing, Wu Zhangkong spoke directly, "This is the unique feature of the Hall of Heroes. The training you receive here will be tailored to the characteristics of your own martial spirits. And the opponents you encounter are also powerful figures who have existed in the real world. Wu Lin met Xiao Ding Douluo Xiao Xiao, Xie Xie met Demon Rabbit Douluo Jiang Nannan, and Gu Yue, you met the first-generation Spirit Pagoda Master, Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao."

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie's expressions suddenly changed. Gu Yue's eyes, however, were filled with an inexplicable light. Ten thousand years ago, she had witnessed the final battle between Di Tian and Huo Yuhao. She had never expected that after so many years, she would encounter such a scene again.

Tang Wulin was surprised and said, "It's Xiao Ding Douluo. No wonder he's so strong."

Xie Xie reacted quickly and asked curiously, "Teacher Wu, who did Brother Nan meet?" Everyone was a little curious.

Wu Zhangkong said in a deep voice: "The person Liu Jing met was Thousand-Handed Douluo Tang San, one of the original Shrek Seven Devils."

"hiss."

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie took a deep breath.

They thought it was amazing that they could meet the Seven Devils of Lake from ancient times, but they didn't expect that Nan Liujing could even fight against the Thousand-Handed Douluo Tang San from ancient times, who was recorded in history as a god.

Nan Liujing glanced at Tang Wulin, not knowing whether Tang San's consciousness in Tang Wulin heard what Wu Changkong said.

Suppressing the Earth, Supporting the Sky, and Breaking the Void are actually some of the killer moves prepared for Tang San. It started with him in the Hall of Heroes, and Nan Liujing also hopes to reach the peak ten thousand years later by riding on Tang San's corpse.

Wu Zhangkong slowed down and said, "You have experienced the benefits of the Hall of Heroes, but whether you can come at any time is not decided by me. It depends on your own choice."

As he spoke, he glanced at Nan Liujing and Gu Yue, and seeing that their expressions were calm, his heart inexplicably tightened.

Tang Wulin said, "What choice?"

Wu Zhangkong asked, "Have you heard of the Tang Sect?"

Hearing these two words, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie felt as if they had been electrocuted. They subconsciously stood up with surprised looks in their eyes.

Don't get me wrong, this isn't excitement. With the unification of the Sun-Moon Federation, the Tang Sect, once hostile to the Federation's predecessor, the Sun-Moon Empire, has been largely ignored, with textbooks barely mentioning it. But like Shrek Academy, its strength is truly formidable, and the Federation is unable to impose sanctions, leaving it to fizzle out.

Knowledge of the Tang Sect is generally only widely spread among the soul master circle of Douluo Continent. Ordinary people basically have no impression of it, and the Tang Sect has reduced its presence for thousands of years.

That's why they were so surprised when they suddenly heard Wu Changkong mention Tang Sect.

Xie Xie asked nervously, "Teacher Wu, could it be that this Hall of Heroes was invented by the Tang Sect?"

"That's right." Wu Zhangkong nodded slightly, "Where we are sitting now is the Tang Sect's Donghai City branch."

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie looked at each other. They understood something from the word "choose" and their breathing quickened.

Nan Liujing and Gu Yue remained calm, but Wu Zhangkong was now getting restless.

Gu Yue was able to break into the top level of the regular assessment on his first attempt, and his result was already outstanding in the history of the Tang Sect.

Nan Liujing was able to pass the advanced level of the assessment for candidates for the sect leader. Such talent would be a huge loss for the Tang Sect if they could not accept him, especially in recent years when the land soul beasts became extinct and there were fewer and fewer people with outstanding talents.

Yes, what Na'er learned from Yun Ming wasn't complete. Nan Liujing had actually been through the Tang Sect's assessment for candidate leader. Once he passed, he would be immediately marked by the Tang Sect, and they would do everything they could to win him over, even offering him immortal herbs to help him grow.

Suppressing his inner uneasiness, Wu Zhangkong said, "Now I want to seriously ask you if you are willing to join the Tang Sect and become a part of it."

"willing."

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie didn't hesitate at all.

Although the Tang Sect has been hiding its name and location, for soul masters, it is a golden signboard and is very attractive.

Tang Wulin was already alone, his parents missing. As for Xie Xie, his family wasn't even considered top-tier in East Sea City, so he naturally wanted to seize the opportunity to improve himself and his family.

The cold dishes were ready, but the hot dishes were still unclear. Wu Zhangkong looked at Nan Liujing and Gu Yue expectantly.

Gu Yue shook her head: "Sorry, Teacher Wu, I already have an organization I want to join."

As expected, Wu Zhangkong was rejected. He felt a little regretful, but he had no intention of forcing the other party to stay. "Okay, teacher respects your choice."

Nan Liujing at this moment is like the braised pork at a banquet, the top priority, and if it is overturned, it can become a topic of conversation for many years.

"Liu Jing, tell me your choice. Although we've only known each other for a short time," Wu Zhangkong's tone grew graver. "But I can assure you that if you agree to join the Tang Sect, you'll immediately gain access to the world's finest cultivation resources, enough to propel you to the Ultimate Douluo stage."

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie, who were the cold side, were stunned. Was the gap so huge? A guaranteed promotion to Extreme Douluo?
Gu Yue's eyes were always on Nan Liujing.

Nan Liujing smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Teacher Wu, my teacher won't allow me to join another organization."

Wu Zhangkong was stunned. "Your teacher? Can you tell me who it is?"

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie were curious. To be able to train a disciple who could kill a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear instantly, he must be quite extraordinary.

Nan Liujing didn't say anything, but took out an ID.

It was a silver-white badge of exquisite quality, with a white background and six purple stars embedded within, emitting a suffocating sense of oppression. This was more than just a badge; it also contained the core magic array forged by the divine craftsman for his disciple, capable of even saving his life in critical moments.

"Six-Star Forging Badge!" Tang Wulin's expression suddenly changed, and his voice almost broke. "Brother Nan, are you a level six blacksmith?"

Xie Xie’s eyes widened. He didn’t understand blacksmiths, but he understood levels.

Gu Yue's eyes flashed with surprise. Tian Feng Douluo could forge iron? Did he have to forge iron too?

Wu Zhangkong, who was used to being indifferent to others, also had a look of surprise in his eyes.

The blacksmith is definitely the one with the highest status among the four major professions. The difficulty lies in the fact that the metal forged is too important to the soul masters of this era.

"Is this your blacksmith badge?" he couldn't help but ask.

"Yes." Nan Liujing nodded.

Wu Zhangkong breathed heavily. A ten-year-old sixth-level blacksmith was simply appalling. In the Tang Sect, the youngest seventh-level Saint Craftsman was thirty-eight years old. The two of them were only one level apart in profession, but over twenty years apart in age.

There is no need to ask the other party's teacher's name. The only master craftsman in the continent who can train such a monstrous disciple is Zhenhua!

At this point, Wu Zhangkong actually breathed a sigh of relief. He had originally thought Nan Liujing was a member of the Spirit Pagoda, but he hadn't expected it to be the Divine Craftsman Zhenhua. This made contacting him much easier. Zhenhua, while high-ranking, wasn't a top-tier Spirit Master after all. With some persuasion, perhaps he could get the green light and allow his disciple to join the Tang Sect.

After all, there are many transactions between the Tang Clan and Zhenhua.

"Okay. I understand." Wu Zhangkong said nothing more, intending to report to his superiors. He was not responsible for matters of winning over others. "Wulin, you and Xie Xie come over here to sign the application form."

Xie Xie glanced at Nan Liujing, with a strange light in his eyes. He had never been so greedy to cling to someone.

Jinxi, Yangzi, you left too early.

As for Tang Wulin, as a blacksmith himself, he knew very well how big the threshold was between level four and level five. This not only spanned level five, but also level six.

Like Xie Xie, he was also excited because he had a peer with whom he could hone his forging skills.

In the sea of ​​spirit, Tang San could only helplessly sense his son's emotional changes. He couldn't beat him, and he couldn't persuade him. What should he do?

If this continues, the Golden Dragon King's bloodline will really be gone.

Looking at the three people leaving, Nan Liujing's eyes were deep.

The reason why Zhenhua was exposed instead of Leng Yaozhu was that he was seeking the magical herb of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire. Unless someone from the Tang Sect was determined to investigate thoroughly, they would not discover that he was also a disciple of the deputy tower master of the Spirit Transmission Tower.

As early as when he was in seclusion, he had discussed this matter with Zhenhua.

Upon learning of his disciple's idea, Zhenhua unconditionally supported it. After all, he had accepted the Tang Sect's Tianduan Metal order, and the relationship between the two parties was in the honeymoon stage.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Nan Liujing wants to join the Tang Sect, but with the help of Zhenhua, he got the reward for the assessment he just completed. He is particularly interested in the treasure land. If it is the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, wouldn't it be wonderful if he could go there and cause the Heavenly Tribulation Pearl to move unusually?
Unfortunately, the assessment was too abnormal, and he only passed the advanced assessment. He had no hope of passing the final top-level assessment, and he didn't know whether his reward would be reduced because of this.

"When the holiday comes, you come with me."

Nan Liujing moved his lips slightly and transmitted a message to Gu Yue.

Gu Yue hummed, closed his eyes, and meditated to recover.

In Douluo Continent, some people may not know about the Spirit Pagoda, but if you mention the Tang Sect, it should be a household name.

This is the original text. It’s too outrageous. It feels like it’s praising the Tang Sect, so I changed the setting.

Since the Tang Sect had been publicly extinct for thousands of years, how could ordinary people possibly know about it? Especially would the Federation allow the Tang Sect to become famous?
