Douluo Continent: I, Tang Wulin, a Kamen Rider

Chapter 113 Battle Between Girls

Most importantly, Gu Yue, Ye Xinglan, and Xu Xiaoyan didn't have a match this morning!
So they're still catching up on their sleep, while he actually has to come to the competition early in the morning!

I wish he hadn't signed up!
Meanwhile, after listening to Tang Wulin's explanation, Mu Xi suddenly felt relaxed for some reason.

But before she could say anything, Zheng Tianlin, who was walking in front of them, turned around and smiled at Mu Xi.

"Little sister Mu Xi, why bring such a little one out like this? Is it to broaden his horizons?"

"Looking at how sleepy he looks, I suggest you let him go back and rest more. After all, with his delicate skin, he probably can't handle swinging a forging hammer, can he?"

Tang Wulin was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

Delicate skin and tender flesh?

He hadn't heard anyone address him like that in a long time.

After recalling Ye Xinglan's complaint last night that he was a very handsome effeminate man, Tang Wulin couldn't help but start to doubt his image in the eyes of others.

After all, when he was the Blue Silver Emperor, he was often described as a pretty little girl, and now he is the Tree of Life.
"Could it be that I really look like a girl now?" Tang Wulin fell into deep thought.

But at this moment, Mu Xi, who was standing to the side, was a little unhappy. Despite her frequent trouble-making with Tang Wulin, she was still a little upset.

But she had personally witnessed Tang Wulin's forging skills!

That was a blacksmith who already possessed level four blacksmithing skills just half a year ago!
Moreover, Tang Wulin is so thin
cough cough.

So beautiful!
Mu Xi immediately snorted coldly.

"Senior brother, are you questioning my father's judgment? Wu Lin was a disciple my father wanted to take on but was rejected. How come he can't even swing a forging hammer when it comes to you?"

Zheng Tianlin was stunned for a moment. He really didn't know that Tang Wulin was someone Mu Chen favored. In his surprise, a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes.

President Mu Chen is a top-level figure in the entire blacksmithing community across the continent.

There are only a dozen or so Saint-level blacksmiths in the entire continent. Some of them live in seclusion. There are only four Level 8 Saint-level blacksmiths.

But even someone like him was rejected when he tried to take on a disciple!
"I didn't realize you were so precocious. But you're ungrateful for your age, actually rejecting the offer from the Master Craftsman. I'll have to see how you perform in the junior group later."

Zheng Tianlin's lips curled slightly. He appeared to be smiling, but his gaze towards Tang Wulin was clearly hostile.

Tang Wulin paid no attention to Zheng Tianlin's gaze and hostility.

Soon, the group arrived at the blacksmith competition venue.

"Attention, junior group participants! Your goal is to complete the Hundred Refinements Purification. Failure to do so will result in immediate elimination. Among those who complete it, the best will be selected to advance to the next round."

"Game start!"

With an announcement from the podium, the young blacksmiths participating in the junior group took out their forging hammers and began forging.

After a while, Tang Wulin, having successfully completed the task, handed in his work, said goodbye to Mu Xi, and then left, completely ignoring the shocked gazes of the crowd behind him.

However, what Tang Wulin didn't see was that Mu Xi's gaze towards him was somewhat complicated.

"You damned Tang Wulin, you blockhead! You really don't want to be with me?!"

In the afternoon, Tang Wulin and his companions looked at their opponents' passionate expressions and felt rather helpless.

"Five, four, three, two, one, the game begins!"

With the referee's announcement, Class Zero's first team match officially began.

Gu Yue didn't say anything, just waved her hand and a gust of wind blew.

Tang Wulin swung his sword, unleashing sword energy and wind blades simultaneously.

The next second, the tornado destroyed the parking lot, and the game ended.

"Huh? That's it? I haven't even made a move yet!" Xie Xie said, speechless.

Gu Yue ignored Xie Xie's complaints and simply dragged Tang Wulin away.

Just then, two people walked towards them.

Ye Xinglan was walking in front, while Xu Lizhi followed behind her like a doormat.

Upon seeing this, Tang Wulin vaguely sensed that something was amiss.

The atmosphere immediately became tense. Even the usually carefree Xie Xie subconsciously swallowed and took a step back behind Tang Wulin.

You know, he was in the same dormitory as Tang Wulin yesterday, so he knows the inside story.

Women are too scary, so he chose men... cough cough, he chose to hide behind Tang Wulin.

Just then, seeing Ye Xinglan approaching, Gu Yue released Tang Wulin and fearlessly went straight to meet him.

As the two locked eyes, Xie Xie could even feel sparks seemingly bursting forth from the void.

At this moment, Ye Xinglan walked up to Gu Yue and said with a hint of arrogance in her eyes.

"Heh, so you're Gu Yue, the one who always gets in the way of my conversations with Wu Lin."

"It's me, so what?"

Gu Yue's expression was calm and composed, but the proud and aloof air in her eyes was in no way inferior to that of Ye Xinglan.

"Oh, that makes things easier. You've signed up for the competition too, right? Coincidentally, I've signed up as well."

"You probably won't mind, right? Oh, by the way, I remember you once said that I could come to you anytime I wanted to fight, right?"

As she spoke, a provocative smile appeared on Ye Xinglan's face.

"Since you're so eager to be beaten up, I don't mind spending a little time to satisfy you."

Gu Yue responded calmly, as if it were in her own eyes.

Ye Xinglan is like a naughty child; he can be easily taught a lesson with just a little effort.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xinglan's gaze sharpened, her beautiful eyes fixed intently on Gu Yue before her.

He exuded a fierce aura, which startled Xu Lizhi behind him, causing his fat to tremble violently.

Gu Yue seemed not to hear this at all, treating it as if it were air, her beautiful eyes calmly returning Ye Xinglan's gaze.

Of course, a strange and terrifying aura also quietly emanated from her.

The two women's eyes met in mid-air, sparking a dazzling exchange.

This scene terrified Xie Xie, who was standing behind Tang Wulin, so much that his legs trembled uncontrollably.

As expected, Xu Xiaoyan, that little girl who had a Martial Soul fusion with Wu Lin, was just doing it for fun.

The real big shots are these two women with explosive fighting power, who could take action at any moment!
Just as Gu Yue and Ye Xinglan seemed to be preparing to fight.

At this moment, Tang Wulin suddenly stepped forward and blocked their way.

"Um... Xing... Xinglan. This should be considered our first real meeting, right? Let's not talk about this yet, let's go eat first?"

"By the way, I know a restaurant that has really good seafood. How about I treat you, and we can sit down and have a good chat?"

Seeing Tang Wulin awkwardly trying to smooth things over while standing in front of Gu Yue, Ye Xinglan's face instantly darkened, and a strange emotion suddenly rose within her.

Because she remembered that Tang Wulin had once seriously responded that if she wanted to cause trouble for Gu Yue in the future, she would have to get past him first.

Now, as she and Gu Yue are at odds, Tang Wulin seems to be trying to smooth things over, but he actually chooses to stand in front of Gu Yue!
An unnamed fire was frantically stimulating Ye Xinglan's already tense heartstrings.

damn it!
She and Tang Wulin were the first to meet, so why is Tang Wulin siding with Gu Yue?
Seeing Tang Wulin blocking Gu Yue's way, an annoyed Ye Xinglan directly questioned him.

"You, Tang Wulin, should remember how she insulted me last night and during our chats before, right?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin immediately recalled the verbal sparring between Gu Yue and Ye Xinglan during their voice call yesterday, as well as their past interactions, and he suddenly felt a headache coming on.

God knows what those two were thinking; they're clearly not in the same place, yet they still managed to argue online.

Now it has escalated to the point where people are arranging fights offline.

Tang Wulin could only offer helpless advice.

"Well, we're all friends, and you also insulted Gu Yue, so we can sit down and have a peaceful meal together and have a good talk."

Seeing this, Ye Xinglan became even more irritated. In her opinion, Tang Wulin was clearly making excuses for Gu Yue!
Just as she was about to say something more, Xu Xiaoyan, who had come down from the viewing platform, arrived at the scene.

Although she admitted that her current strength was insufficient and she could not defeat Gu Yue and this Shrek Academy girl who looked like she was not easy to mess with.

but.
Haven't you read history books and information about Soul Masters?

Do you even understand what it means that spirit fusion is the only official pairing?

They just stole my crystal while I, Xu Xiaoyan, was away?
This is too much!

Xu Xiaoyan put her hands on her hips, took a step forward angrily, and shouted at Ye Xinglan.

"Hmph, so you're the guy from yesterday. If you want to fight, I'm all for it!"

"Oh right, I forgot to tell you, although I only have one ring for now, I am also Wu Lin and Sister Gu Yue's teammate, and I also have a martial soul fusion skill with Wu Lin!"

Upon hearing Xu Xiaoyan's words, Ye Xinglan was immediately taken aback.

Another girl has arrived?
Judging from the voice, it sounded like the female voice that had joined her and Gu Yue's argument yesterday.

And a Martial Soul Fusion Technique?

At that moment, Ye Xinglan, who was well-versed in Soul Master information, instantly understood the meaning behind Xu Xiaoyan's words.

The next second, an inexplicable emotion welled up inside her.

Beneath this emotional state lies hostility and irritation towards Xu Xiaoyan, as well as panic over the impending loss of her time with Tang Wulin.

Because she knew best what the fusion skill between a man and a woman would ultimately result in.

That was a match made in heaven!

She originally thought Gu Yue was the one who affected her relationship with Tang Wulin, but now...
She finally understood why this little girl had joined her and Gu Yue's fight yesterday!
Upon thinking of this, Ye Xinglan's coldness and imposing aura instantly shifted to Xu Xiaoyan.

When Xu Xiaoyan faced Ye Xinglan's imposing aura head-on, her long-held belief in Shrek Academy was shattered.

Considering the difference in their strength, she subconsciously took a step back.

Seeing this, Tang Wulin took a small step forward and shielded her behind him.

Seeing this, Ye Xinglan felt no sense of victory over Xu Xiaoyan, but instead felt increasingly angry.

Seeing Tang Wulin standing in front of the two of them, looking like he was determined to protect the person behind him to the end, Ye Xinglan gritted her teeth.

"Good, very good, but I want to see just how good you two are on the field!"

In the end, Ye Xinglan did not choose to unleash her power and confront Tang Wulin directly. Instead, she turned and left after finishing her speech.

Hearing Ye Xinglan's words and looking at Ye Xinglan's aloof figure, Tang Wulin also sighed.

He didn't understand; they were all friends, and even his readers.

But why did Ye Xinglan, Gu Yue, and even Xu Xiaoyan get along so badly at this first offline reader meet-up?
Meanwhile, Xie Xie, hiding behind the crowd, had already seen through everything.

Wu Changkong, who was standing further behind, also gave this scene a complicated look.

But he shook his head and didn't say anything more.

"Next match, East Sea Academy versus West Sea Academy. Please enter the arena."

Seeing this, Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan also went directly to the arena. Tang Wulin sighed, but still followed.

At this moment, three people from Xihai Academy also stepped onto the field, two of whom were Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi.

"Three, two, one, start!"

As soon as the referee announced the news, before Tang Wulin could say anything, Ye Xinglan raised his right hand, and two yellow soul rings rippled out from under his feet.

Then, a long sword appeared in Ye Xinglan's hand. The sword was bright yellow, and countless stars seemed to shimmer on its blade.

The dazzling starlight was exceptionally conspicuous even in daylight, yet no powerful soul force was present.

However, the moment the sword appeared, Ye Xinglan herself seemed to vanish, her aura completely merging with the sword.

Man and sword unite?

Tang Wulin was stunned by this scene. He had never expected that there would be someone in this world with such outstanding talent in swordsmanship.

It's important to understand that even he reached this level only after experiencing life-or-death crises and awakening his desire to protect others.

But how could Ye Xinglan, at such a young age, have reached such a level?

No, wait!

Tang Wulin's eyes flickered slightly.

But soon, he learned the truth about Ye Xinglan.

Simply put, although Ye Xinglan has already reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship, and in terms of understanding of the sword, he is already at the same level as him.

It can be said that even if Ye Xinglan were to have a one-on-one swordsmanship duel with Wu Changkong, she would not be much inferior.

Unfortunately, although Ye Xinglan has a high talent for swordsmanship, she does not have her own sword intent.

In other words, it merely has the form but lacks the essence.

Therefore, it shouldn't be called "man and sword as one," but rather "body and sword as one."

That makes sense, after all, no matter how high Ye Xinglan's talent is.

But she's just a ten-year-old girl who hasn't experienced much yet.

Thinking of this, Tang Wulin smiled with relief and said to Ye Xinglan.

"Star God Sword, is this your martial soul? What a beautiful sword, just like you today, Xinglan."
