Douluo Continent: I, Tang Wulin, a Kamen Rider

Chapter 110: A Battlefield Atmosphere

Early the next morning, Wu Changkong led the four students from Class Zero out of the academy and headed straight for Donghai Square in the center of Donghai City.

Tang Wulin and his three companions were all wearing the school uniforms of Donghai Academy. This time, the team was led not only by Wu Changkong, but also by the Dean of Students, Long Hengxu.

Their group wasn't the only one representing the college; the senior students also participated.

The senior division is participating in the youth group competition for those aged 15 to 20.

Among them, Tang Wulin saw familiar figures. One of them was Xu Xiaoyan's brother, Xu Xiaoyu.

"Xiaoyan, if they bully you, tell me." Xu Xiaoyu said to her younger sister in a somewhat threatening manner as she passed by Tang Wulin and his group of four.

Xu Xiaoyan rolled her eyes.

"Even if I told you, you still couldn't beat them. You should worry about yourself instead, or you might not even make it past the preliminaries this time."

Xu Xiaoyu's face stiffened upon hearing this, but considering that he had been instantly killed by Tang Wulin with a single sword strike, he did not stubbornly utter any harsh words, but instead changed the subject.

"Impossible. All of our competitors this time are at least level three; we're sure to achieve great results."

They were also participating in the team competition, and it was the most important seven-person team competition.

Xu Xiaoyan curled her lips.

From the conversation between the siblings, Tang Wulin could tell that Donghai Academy's performance in past competitions had not been ideal.

And it seems to be more than just unsatisfactory.

Given that Donghai City is the second largest city on the East Coast, it's no wonder the academy is worried about its performance.

But it doesn't matter, with him, Gu Yue, Xie Xie, and Xiao Yan around.

Then the outcome of victory was already predetermined!

Soon,
A large crowd had already gathered at Donghai Square, along with rows of very luxurious soul-guided buses. They were moving as a unified force, setting off as one.

"Hey, Tang Wulin, why didn't you reply to the message my dad sent you?"

At this moment, Mu Xi saw Tang Wulin appear and immediately ran over, asking angrily.

But as she spoke, she suddenly started to stutter.

She hadn't seen him in so long, and she had no idea that Tang Wulin had become so handsome and stunning!
Even the aloof teacher Wu Changkong paled in comparison to Tang Wulin at this moment!
The number one beauty of Donghai Academy truly deserves the title!

You should know that Tang Wulin was already extremely handsome and beautiful, which made her feel favorably towards him.

And now.
Before Tang Wulin could react, Gu Yue was already standing in front of him, speaking coldly to Mu Xi.

"Whether he wants to go back or not is his prerogative. Who are you? By what right are you questioning him?"

Mu Xi was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but find it a little funny, and then said in a somewhat inexplicable tone.

"Wow! Tang Wulin, you're so young and already behaving badly, even having a girlfriend?"

Mu Xi's voice was loud, and many eyes were already turning towards them, which gave Tang Wulin a bit of a headache.

"Hey senior, we're not that close, are we? And don't talk nonsense, Gu Yue is just my partner."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan, who had been somewhat disappointed because Gu Yue had stood in front of Tang Wulin first, suddenly brightened up again.

Gu Yue's expression suddenly changed, and her aloofness became even more pronounced.

The jade fingers gripping the Seven Swordsmen's Manual tightened unconsciously.

Mu Xi ignored Gu Yue and spoke directly to Tang Wulin.

“We’re not close, but my dad, as the president of the forging association, sees your potential and kindly helped you register. Why aren’t you replying to his messages?”

Tang Wulin said somewhat strangely, "I've already gone back. It's just a competition, right? I'll just participate later."

Upon hearing this, Mu Xi's face instantly turned red.

"Is that what I meant? I meant, why don't you go and visit him? What kind of response is it to just keep responding online!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin was also taken aback.

"Does it make a difference?"

To him, Mu Chen was just a familiar stranger, not as close as Cen Yue.

After all, Cen Yue was an old acquaintance of Mang Tian, ​​but Mu Chen was someone he really didn't know well!
He neither needs Mu Chen's guidance nor Mu Chen's protection.

It seems there's no need for him to make a special visit to Mu Chen, right?
Seeing Tang Wulin's bewildered expression, Mu Xi stomped her feet in anger.

"I don't care, you have to pay your respects to my father from now on!" Mu Xi said angrily.

At this moment, Xu Xiaoyan stepped forward and walked alongside Gu Yue, protecting Tang Wulin behind her.

"Hmph, I think Sister Gu Yue is right. I'm also curious, what exactly is your role in pointing fingers at Wu Lin?"

"Since Wu Lin doesn't want to go, what right do you have to force him to do something he doesn't want to do!"

As she spoke, Xu Xiaoyan raised her voice, and her aura instantly intensified.

Xie Xie, watching this scene from behind, fell silent as well.

"No, is that right, family? She was using all my words!"

Xie Xie mentally complained with a frustrated expression.

You know, he should have been the one saying these things in the past!

But now, ever since Xu Xiaoyan arrived, and after learning that she and Tang Wulin possess a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Xie Xie's position in the team has clearly dropped by more than half!

At this moment, Tang Wulin, who was involved, pondered for a moment.

He glanced at the countless onlookers who were gradually gathering around him and immediately spoke up.

"Alright then, I'll visit the Forging Association when I have time after the competition."

Hmm. I'll just consider it an upgrade to my blacksmithing standards.

Anyway, he didn't say he was going to visit Mu Chen in person, he just said he was going to the Forging Association!

Seeing this, Mu Xi, unaware of the situation, assumed that Tang Wulin would do as she expected and left satisfied.

At this time.

"Teachers and students of Donghai College, get on the bus."

Seeing this, everyone got into the car.

Inside the car, Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan naturally kicked Xie Xie aside and each took over Tang Wulin's left and right hands.

Xie Xie had no choice but to settle for second best and walked alone to the back.

At that moment, Xu Xiaoyu suddenly grabbed him and lifted him up.

"Hey there, I have some questions about my sister that I'd like to ask you. You wouldn't mind answering a brother who cares about his sister, would you?"

Heh heh, I can't beat Tang Wulin and Gu Yue, those two guys who can kill me in an instant.

As a three-ring Soul Master, how could I possibly lose to you, Xie Xie?
Just a mere Grand Soul Master, huh?

"you……"

Faced with Xu Xiaoyu's threat, Xie Xie became furious and acted impulsively.

There's nothing I can do; I'm simply not as good as others. Who can I blame?

Given the current situation, even if Tang Wulin wanted to save him, he would have to ask Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan for their consent first!
Even so, Xie Xie still wanted to put up a fight.

After all, I can't just go with you because you say so.

I, Xie Xie, still have my pride!

Did you really think I, Xie Xie, couldn't lift a sword? I'm a genius with twin martial souls! You bastard!

Xie Xie spoke to Xu Xiaoyu with a righteous and indignant expression.

"I refuse, damn it, who do you think I am?"

"Let me tell you, at the pinnacle of the soul, where I reign supreme, lies Xie Xie."

Before Xie Xie could finish speaking, Xu Xiaoyu stepped forward, grabbed him, and shouted.

"Soul? What soul? What are you thanking me for? Enough nonsense, come with me!"

"Wu Lin, save me! Waaaaah!"

Xie Xie, who still wanted to make one last struggle, didn't even finish his sentence before he died in a fit of grief and indignation.

Xu Xiaoyu covered his mouth and forcibly pulled him to the back of the bus for a private conversation between the two of them.

At this moment, Tang Wulin, sitting between the two women, was indeed as Xie Xie had said: willing but powerless!
Looking out the window at this moment, even though it was a bright sunny day, he felt a strange chill enveloping his entire body.

But the problem is, he's a man who carries the bloodline of the Tree of Life!
Although it can only be considered a sapling of the tree of life at this time.

But while he wouldn't say he's immune to all attacks, at least he wouldn't get a minor illness like a cold, right?
Moreover, he not only has the blessing of the Tree of Life, but also the bloodline of an ancient dragon!

So why would something as absurd as catching a cold happen to him?

Wasn't it supposed to be that the ancient dragon was invincible in terms of physical strength and power?
It looks fake!

That's not scientific at all!

Could his book of fantasy omnipotence be a trap, giving him false information?

But as time passed and Tang Wulin felt the chill around him seeping into his bones, even the most naive Tang Wulin realized it.

The chill emanating from him did not seem to come from a change in temperature, but rather from his two companions!
Although he didn't know why Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan had bodies that could affect his dual blessing from the Tree of Life and the Ancient Dragon.

But if he remained silent like this, he would truly feel like he was suffocating to death!
He couldn't fight, and he couldn't talk. This strange atmosphere made Tang Wulin feel uneasy, but he didn't know why.

Thinking of this, Tang Wulin wanted to speak to break the strange atmosphere.

But looking at Gu Yue's icy expression and Xu Xiaoyan's angry face, Tang Wulin couldn't bring himself to say the words he was about to utter.

At that moment, even though he had the courage to face the typhoon head-on, he dared not utter a sound.

At this moment, courage seemed like a joke. Looking at the two women with their icy expressions, he didn't dare to step forward at all.

Oh, damn it.

What about the Dragon of Courage?
Why are you just watching?

Have you really betrayed your courage?
Why don't you come out and say something?

Come out and help!

Without courage, how could I dare to speak up?

Tang Wulin mentally complained.

Just as Tang Wulin was complaining about his own Courageous Dragon, he heard Xie Xie's cry for help.

Upon seeing this, Tang Wulin's eyes lit up!
There's a reason now!

At this moment, Tang Wulin was filled with courage and bravely faced the two women.

"Hey, Gu Yue, Xiao Yan, I think I heard Xie Xie calling for help. Should I go help him? After all, he's one of our comrades."

Just as he got up, preparing to help Xie Xie escape, two small hands pulled him back from the left and right sides.

"No need, Wu Lin, I think you must have misheard."

Xu Xiaoyan said with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Sit down," Gu Yue said in a cold tone, leaving no room for argument.

Hearing their conversation, and watching Xie Xie being dragged away by Xu Xiaoyu in a forceful, locked-up position in front of him, Gu Yue, and Xu Xiaoyan, Tang Wulin fell silent instantly.

"I must have misheard. Yes, I misheard!"

Seeing this, Tang Wulin gave Xie Xie a helpless look and sat down dejectedly.

After he sat down, the two women, who had been talking, fell silent again.

Seeing this, Tang Wulin could hardly contain himself and asked in a slightly uneasy tone.

"Hey, Gu Yue, Xiao Yan, why have you two become so quiet ever since you got in the car? Why aren't you saying a word?"

As soon as Tang Wulin spoke, the previously cold and quiet atmosphere instantly changed.

Gu Yue asked indifferently, "Then why did you agree to her just now?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin looked at Gu Yue with a surprised expression.

"what?"

Seeing this, Xu Xiaoyan gave another hint.

"Wu Lin, what Sister Gu Yue means is, why did you agree with that woman just now!"

"We both refused on your behalf, and now you're suddenly agreeing. Doesn't that mean you're siding with her, betraying us, and abandoning us?"

After saying that, Xu Xiaoyan glared angrily at Tang Wulin.

Upon hearing Xu Xiaoyan's explanation, Tang Wulin suddenly realized that the problem lay there!

"No, you're overthinking it. I never agreed to her request."

"She asked me to make a special visit to her father, but I only said that I would make time to go to the Forging Association."

"These are clearly two different things, please don't misunderstand."

"Besides, I only said that because there were too many people watching around and I didn't want to waste our time."

"How could I possibly betray you and abandon you? Don't overthink it!"

"You are the most important people to me. She is just a senior student whose face I recognize."

As he spoke, Tang Wulin smiled slightly and then gently rubbed Xu Xiaoyan's head.

Looking at Tang Wulin's smile, feeling the warmth coming from above, and listening to his earnest explanation.

Xu Xiaoyan's slight resentment vanished instantly.

"Oh... I see. Why didn't you say so earlier? You almost made me and Sister Guyue misunderstand you."

Hearing Xu Xiaoyan's stammering words, Tang Wulin sighed helplessly, then said with a wronged expression.

"I'd like to say something, but you all fell silent like angry little hedgehogs the moment you arrived. How could I dare to speak?"

Seeing Tang Wulin compare himself to this, Xu Xiaoyan burst into laughter through her tears.

"You're the one with the prickly side! Who praises a girl like that?"

"So what should I praise you for? Let me think, the angry little kitten, or..."

As he spoke, Tang Wulin reached out his other hand toward Gu Yue's head.

"A lone, proud little crane?"

At this moment, Gu Yue slightly tilted her head, dodging Tang Wulin's hand, and snorted lightly, saying indifferently, "You just know how to talk nonsense."

Tang Wulin chuckled, realizing he had finally overcome this hurdle.

Finally, I don't have to be stuck in that strange atmosphere anymore.

It was terrifying! His Courage Dragon was so scared that it didn't dare to show its face!
