Douluo Continent: I, Tang Wulin, a Kamen Rider

Chapter 133 To survive in this world, you need power and connections!
However, this time...

Tang Wulin did not choose to take the initiative as usual, but instead used his exquisite swordsmanship to defend.

He stood steadily, his fiery sword dancing like a nimble dragon, creating a dense curtain of swords in front of him.

After all, he had just gone through that fierce battle with Xie Xie.

In addition, with the valuable experience he has accumulated in battles over the years, Tang Wulin has a deep understanding of the principles involved.

He knew very well that when competing with his peers...

He cannot simply display overwhelming strength; he also needs to give his opponent a duel experience, which is also a sign of respect for his opponent.

Otherwise, if Wu Siduo's Dao Heart were to collapse due to his all-out attack...

Surely we can't follow the example of how he slapped Xie Xie to bring him to his senses three years ago when they had just met.

It should be noted that Wu Siduo had just shown mercy to his companion during the battle, sparing Shui.

For this reason alone, how could Tang Wulin possibly use the Slap Descent technique on Wu Siduo?

As time slowly passed, the battle situation gradually took on a peculiar form.

Wu Siduo was like an enraged Siberian tigress, launching a fierce attack like a storm.

As her claws danced, the wind howled, and each strike carried a deadly danger.

Moreover, she switched between the Netherworld Cat and the White Tiger Martial Soul with great skill, and her agile movements and powerful explosive force were astonishing.

Surprisingly, despite her fierce attacks, she was unable to break through Tang Wulin's defenses.

Each of her claw strikes was either precisely blocked by Tang Wulin's Flame Sword, accompanied by a crisp metallic clang and sparks flying everywhere.

Or, at the very last moment before the attack, Tang Wulin would dodge it with his incredibly skillful footwork.

As a result, the situation has reached a stalemate.

Their hair fluttered in the wind during the fierce battle, like two white ribbons dancing in the wind.

They chased each other across the field, their figures intertwined.

When one side attacks, the other side retreats steadily; when one side retreats, the other side advances at the opportune moment; when one side launches a strong attack, the other side defends tightly.

The two sides fought back and forth, and for a time they were evenly matched, which made the classmates watching from the sidelines look on with amazement.

Xie Xie, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, couldn't help but twitch his eyes violently at the sight of this scene.

"Wait a minute, this isn't right. Is Wu Siduo, oh no, is a mere Soul Master really that powerful?"

"Shouldn't someone with that kind of strength have been killed by Wu Lin in just a few moves?"

"And why does this scene look so familiar?"

"Wait, isn't this... this is exactly what I usually see when I'm fighting Wu Lin?!"

"It looks like they're evenly matched, but actually Wu Lin is holding back! He's not using any strength at all!"

"Damn it, after all this time, I, Xie Xie, am the only victim who made Wu Lin use his full strength back then, right!"

Xie Xie mentally ranted.

Recalling the conversation between Tang Wulin and Wu Siduo, Xie Xie originally thought he was going to watch Wu Siduo repeat his mistakes.

Then, after his Dao Heart collapses, he'll be hit with another blow—the Friendship-Breaking Palm, a special treat from Wu Lin!

It turns out the Joker was himself!

Meanwhile, Wu Siduo, who had been unable to break through the defenses for a long time, seemed to realize something and immediately hardened her heart.

The next second, she stopped attacking, and then a black, ghostly aura suddenly emerged from her body.

The aura of the underworld merged and blended with the white light on her body, and a strange dark gold color suddenly burst forth from her body.

Not only that, her white hair seemed to have become crystal clear, like strands of crystal.

"How dare you to mock me like this, Tang Wulin! Don't blame me for not warning you, I'm about to get serious!"

As she spoke, her human form vanished, and Wu Siduo transformed into a strange white tiger five or six meters long.

"Now I am the true Netherworld Dancer!"

The three people, including Xu Xiaoyan, were all surprised when they saw this.

"Netherworld... This is the Netherworld White Tiger! Could it be that she can perform single-person self-fusion of martial souls?"

The Martial Soul Fusion Skill requires two Soul Masters to have a very high degree of compatibility in their Martial Souls. When they come into contact, their Martial Souls merge together to generate a powerful burst of force.

Just like the spirit fusion skills of Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi, and Tang Wulin and Xu Xiaoyan.

Possesses strength far exceeding that of people of the same level.

Leaving aside Xu Xiaoyan and Tang Wulin, the posture that Wu Siduo is displaying at this moment is extremely similar to the martial soul fusion skill of Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi!

They are all combinations of beast-form martial souls.

When Gu Yue saw this, his eyes turned slightly cold.

Then, she glanced at Xu Xiaoyan beside her and said coldly to Tang Wulin.

"Wulin!"

Seeing this, Tang Wulin knew that Gu Yue didn't want to wait any longer.

"There's really nothing we can do about it, since that's how it is."

As he spoke, Tang Wulin took a deep breath, then sheathed his Flame Sword and snapped his fingers.

In an instant, the earth began to tremble, as if responding to Tang Wulin's summons.

A rich natural energy surrounded Tang Wulin, making him seem like a deity of this area.

"boom!"

As the ground cracked, the next second, a huge wooden figure rose from Tang Wulin's feet and quickly climbed upwards!
A few seconds later, the wooden figure soared into the clouds, reaching a height of fifty or sixty meters above the ground!

Its body is made of a thick tree trunk with clear textures, as if it contains endless vitality.

Its limbs are like towering pillars, and each sway can bring up a gust of wind.

The wooden figure's face is carved with lifelike detail, its eyes conveying both majesty and coldness.

Behind it was a wooden dragon about thirty or forty meters long coiled up.

When the wooden figure was fully revealed, the atmosphere on the field instantly became solemn.

Wu Siduo raised her head and looked at the giant, whose size was more than ten times her own.

Her chubby face was etched with a human-like bewilderment.

Tang Wulin sighed as he looked at the bewildered white cat on the ground, then manipulated the wooden figure to reach down and grab.

When Wu Siduo saw the giant bend down, she trembled all over.

The white tiger's body trembled as if its fur had been bristled.

Big!
too big!
Just when she thought she was about to be slapped to death by the giant.

The giant simply placed her in his hands and then held her in his arms like he was petting a cat.

"Are you alright, Wu?"

Hearing a slightly familiar yet caring voice beside her, Wu Siduo opened her eyes in a daze. There she saw Tang Wulin, who had somehow appeared beside her, standing on the head of a wooden dragon.

Seeing him holding the back of his head with his right hand, his face showing a mixture of concern and shy embarrassment, Wu Siduo was slightly taken aback.

At this moment, in her eyes, Tang Wulin, standing on a wooden dragon with his white hair flowing, was so powerful and gentle.

After a while, Wu Siduo returned to her original form and then looked at Tang Wulin with a complicated expression.

She simply couldn't believe she had lost.

Moreover, he lost even after using his trump card, the Netherworld White Tiger.

This filled Wu Siduo's heart with frustration.

It should be noted that from a young age, she was invincible among her family and all her peers, making her virtually unbeatable among her peers.

She was always as proud as a snow lotus blooming on a high cliff, looking down on everyone, and no one her age could catch her eye.

Just like before, when she wanted to go easy on Tang Wulin in the duel, this was her pride as Wu Siduo.

But this time, this man named Tang Wulin was like a fierce storm, instantly shattering her proud defenses.

In this battle, she used all her skills, making full use of the advantages of her twin martial souls, but all of them were blocked by the sword in her hand.

Even her trump card, the Netherworld White Tiger, was completely crushed by it.

Looking at the huge, towering wooden figure beneath her and Tang Wulin standing atop the wooden dragon beside her, Wu Siduo couldn't quite comprehend what she was thinking.

But seeing Tang Wulin's caring attitude and handsome appearance, a subtle feeling quietly grew in her heart.

She stared blankly at the man in front of her, her expression complex beyond words.

"I'm fine, I just lost this time."

After saying that, Wu Siduo seemed to realize something and gave a soft hum.

"However, I will still challenge you in the future! I will definitely be the winner then!"

Seeing this, Tang Wulin was relieved and smiled, "Yes, I believe you can do it."

Seeing that Tang Wulin, who had just defeated her with overwhelming force, now believed in her boastful words, even Wu Siduo was a little unsettled.

"you"

But then, before she could say anything more...

The sky and earth in this area suddenly distorted, and beams of light and shadow flickered.

The light shone on the five people.

The light distorted, and everything went black. When their consciousness returned, everything was clear. The hatch opened, and they were back where they had entered.

When Tang Wulin and his three companions emerged from their respective cabins, nearly a hundred pairs of eyes were fixed on them.

Many of these perspectives are complex.

Because after they returned here, they all watched the rest of the match on the screen.

So everyone saw how Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, Xu Xiaoyan, and Xie Xie's team crushed their opponents in the competition.

Therefore, at this moment, gazes of admiration, respect, friendliness, jealousy, contempt, hostility, and so on all converged on Tang Wulin and the others.

Of course, the admiration, respect and friendliness were mostly directed at Tang Wulin, Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan, or rather, more concentrated on Tang Wulin.

After all, they could clearly see the giant wooden figure that was fifty or sixty meters tall at the end.

This is an absolute display of strength; no one would think they could handle such an exaggerated giant.

Have you not seen the famous Martial Soul Fusion Skill - Netherworld White Tiger?

In their hands, she's nothing more than a little kitten that they can easily manipulate.
Therefore, it is natural that no one would be willing to be crushed by someone who could easily defeat them in terms of strength.

Furthermore, he harbors hostility towards his classmate, a genius who has consistently excelled in his side profession.

Unless he has something wrong with his head.

But it's clear that everyone here is a normal person with a sound mind.

Jealousy, contempt, and hostility were mostly directed at Xie Xie, since in their eyes, he was someone who knew everything.

Now they understand why Xie Xie, an assassin, dared to be in the front row of the team.

Isn't it because they have Tang Wulin and the others behind them that they can attack them so fiercely?

Damn it, why does this guy have Tang Wulin and others as his backers?

In an instant, feelings of envy and jealousy fell upon Xie Xie one after another.

Xie Xie, however, glared back defiantly.

Although he was initially stunned by Tang Wulin's height of fifty or sixty meters.

But when Xie Xie thought about how the competition had just taken place in a forest, he naturally understood.

After all, Tang Wulin, who was only a level 10-something, could pilot a Gundam that was over 10 meters tall by relying on the Blue Silver Emperor and the advantage of the terrain.

Now that Tang Wulin is level 35 and his martial soul is the Tree of Life, isn't it normal for him to fly a 50-60 meter tall Gundam in this kind of environment?
So, why are you looking at me?

This is the strength and bond of our three-person team. What good is it for you to be envious?
In this world, you need power and connections.

"If you're bad at cooking, practice more, understand, guys in jail?" —by Xie Xie.

At this moment, Shen Yi coughed lightly and stepped forward.

"Ahem, as everyone has clearly seen in the previous match, since Wu Siduo has already conceded defeat, the four of them will form another team."

"So there's no need to continue the competition. Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, Xu Xiaoyan, and Xie Xie, you can now decide who will be the class monitor and who will be the vice class monitor."

Seeing this, Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan also glanced at Xie Xie in unison.

It's as if it's saying, "What are you still standing there for?"

Seeing this, Xie Xie's lips twitched slightly.

Good grief, a three-person team, are they really going to ostracize me like this?

I, Xie Xie, am not the kind of person who is oblivious to his own actions!
That's easy to say. Who wouldn't want to give the spotlight to their closest friend?
After mentally ranting, Xie Xie consciously stepped back and handed the stage over to the other three.

Seeing this, Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan nodded in satisfaction.

Strictly speaking, they didn't care about the position of vice class monitor; that's why they ostracized Xie Xie.

It was only because Tang Wulin was the class monitor that they all wanted to be his deputy, out of a sense of not being inferior to him.

Xie Xie was aware of this, which is why he wasn't angry.

Seeing this, Shen Yi responded, "In that case, I hereby announce that Tang Wulin will be the class monitor, and Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan will be the vice class monitors."

Seeing this, no one resisted.

After all, although they hadn't seen it, they had heard it on the screen: Xu Xiaoyan and Tang Wulin possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Although Gu Yue does not have a martial soul fusion skill, she is a genius girl who can easily kill Luo Guixing.

With two such women, plus Tang Wulin, a character with an unparalleled talent, serving as class monitor, they had no objections whatsoever.

"Next, we will select the remaining three class officers: mecha design, mecha manufacturing, and mecha repair. Tang Wulin will continue to serve as the forging committee member. Now, we will begin the application process for the three sub-profession committee members. All students with a sub-profession at level two or above are eligible to apply."
