Douluo Continent: I, Tang Wulin, a Kamen Rider

Chapter 140 The Snow-White Back

How long does it take!
Tang Wulin actually managed to handle the entire process of forging metal, embedding magic arrays, and making battle armor all by himself!

Even Mu Xi only assisted and listened from the sidelines.

She, Xu Xiaoyan, and even Wu Siduo simply sat on the sidelines reading storybooks and chatting with Tang Wulin, offering only minor assistance such as handing over parts.

It can be said that Tang Wulin will be able to reach the level of at least a level six battle armor maker in a short time!
This blacksmith's potential has clearly exceeded her expectations.

The problem is that the soul beast faction declined completely because of the existence of human soul tools and battle armor, or rather, because of those advanced human blacksmiths.

The bonus from the four-word battle armor is just too high!

As the leader of the soul beasts, she transformed into a human to learn human knowledge in order to spread it among the soul beasts.

However, the truth is that, according to the information she has, soul tool technology may still be usable by the soul beasts, but battle armor is somewhat unsuitable for their soul beast race.

Furthermore, the completion of battle armor requires not only the blacksmith but also the cooperation of the battle armor's owner.

And their identities, unfortunately, cannot be known to humans.

Therefore, Gu Yue had originally planned to abandon the plan to popularize Soul Beast Battle Armor.

But because of Tang Wulin, Gu Yue felt that this plan could be brought up again.
Recalling Tang Wulin's explanation of martial souls, and her own exploration of Tang Wulin's Courageous Dragon and the Seven Heroes Legend over the past three years, a glimmer of light flashed in Gu Yue's eyes.

It seems that because of Dragon of Courage and The Seven Swordsmen, she almost forgot about another book by Tang Wulin!

Recalling the last time Tang Wulin wore armor and rode the typhoon, Gu Yue thought to herself, "The storybook at his waist, alongside Dragon of Courage and The Seven Heroes."

Flames Hidden in the Mountains

Looking at Tang Wulin, who was being entangled by Xu Xiaoyan in the last part of his body, and the hammer in his hand that was exactly the same as the one in Na'er's memory, the one in the storybook.

Gu Yue already had some plans in mind.

"Is this a book that tells the story of the orcish god of forging?"

Soon, as time passes.

A few days later, inside the room.

Tang Wulin, who was writing and discussing the plot with Tianfeng editor, suddenly heard an excited voice behind him.

"Wu Lin! I've finally broken through!"

But before he could turn around, a soft, fragrant, petite figure pounced on him.

Seeing Xu Xiaoyan's excited and joyful smile, Tang Wulin was also happy for her.

"Not bad, Xiao Yan, congratulations on becoming a quasi-Soul Master. But Xiao Yan, have you chosen your Soul Spirit yet? I remember your teacher is a high-ranking member of the Spirit Pagoda, right?"

"Yes, my teacher already chose it for me, but she set a test for me, asking me to climb the tower." Xu Xiaoyan nodded.

"Charge the tower?" Tang Wulin asked curiously.

"Yes, the Spirit Pagoda has a rule: if you want to obtain a soul that is over a thousand years old, you can do it by climbing the tower. Climbing the tower is done in a team, with a maximum of seven people per team."

"The first eighteen levels are filled with thousand-year-old souls. The higher you go, the higher the level and quality of the souls."

"From the 18th to the 36th floor, there are ten-thousand-year-old soul spirits. Above the 36th floor, there are beings with more than ten thousand years of cultivation. The top nine floors are all ferocious beasts, which are soul beasts with more than one hundred thousand years of cultivation collected by the Spirit Pagoda organization over the past ten thousand years."

"Of course, my teacher had already chosen the partners for me in advance, but she wanted to treat this as a training opportunity for me and also to see my partners."

"Wu Lin, you'll come to help me, won't you?"

As Xu Xiaoyan spoke, she looked at Tang Wulin with anticipation.

After listening to Xu Xiaoyan's words, Tang Wulin nodded without hesitation.

"Of course, when are we going?"

"The teacher said that we can go tomorrow, which is the weekend, but we might not be able to get enough people. She told me that I have to get at least six people to make a team of seven."

At this point, Xu Xiaoyan couldn't help but recall the words of her beautiful teacher.

"Xiao Yan'er, you need to bring all your best friends for this assessment, at least seven people, so the teacher can see if my Xiao Yan'er is the little darling of the group."

"Of course, if any of your companions happens to need a Soul Spirit, then the teacher will grant them the qualification to challenge the tower, as a gift from the teacher to your companion."

Recalling her teacher's words, Xu Xiaoyan knew that it was her teacher's good intention, but she still felt a strange sense of being interfered with.

You see, she originally intended to treat this challenge as a date between herself and Tang Wulin!

After all, in her opinion, Tang Wulin alone was enough for her.

Everyone else was just a third wheel!
Meanwhile, after listening to Xu Xiaoyan's words, Tang Wulin thought for a moment and said...

"I see. It seems your teacher is a nice person. In that case, let's invite Gu Yue and Xie Xie to come along."

"okay."

Xu Xiaoyan pinched her nose and said with a frustrated expression.

"However, it seems we're still short a few people. In that case, I'll ask Wu Siduo and Senior Sister Mu if they're available."

"Oh right, it seems like Xinglan is about to transfer out of the inner courtyard soon. Also, when we were eating earlier, Yuanen seemed to say that he was almost level 40. Let me ask him about that too."

Tang Wulin thought for a moment and then said.

What could Xu Xiaoyan, who was already mentally prepared, say? She could only grit her teeth and agree in her heart.

However, as if she had thought of something, she quickly said, "Wu Lin, it's fine if you pull Ye Xinglan and Yuan En, but not Senior Mu and Wu Siduo!"

"Huh? Why?" Tang Wulin looked at her in surprise.

Xu Xiaoyan explained, "The rules at Shrek Academy are very strict. In the first year, ten percent of the students are eliminated."

"So strictly speaking, apart from a few of us, everyone else is a competitor."

"Although they already know about our Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they don't know about my own Soul Skill and Soul Spirit yet. So I don't want my acquired Soul Spirit to be exposed so early, as it wouldn't be good for my final exams."

"So, if possible, try not to choose other people in the class. As for Ye Xinglan and Yuan En, one is in the inner courtyard and the other is in the second year, so it doesn't matter if they find out."

"As for Senior Sister Mu, did you forget that she said yesterday that because she saw your previous forging, she made a breakthrough in metal forging, so she was going into seclusion to try to forge her own battle armor?"

That's right, it's one thing for Ye Xinglan and Tang Wulin to have a three-year agreement.

But Wu Siduo, you newcomer philanderer, and Mu Xi, you shameless wicked woman, I'm on guard against you! —by Xu Xiaoyan

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin nodded slightly, understanding Xu Xiaoyan's thoughts.

After all, Wu Siduo had only been in their team for a few days at most.

Therefore, it's normal that Xu Xiaoyan doesn't consider Wu Siduo as one of her own yet.

And then there's Senior Sister Mu. After his guidance and on-site observation over the past few days, she really wants to try forging her own battle armor.

Seeing this, Tang Wulin thought for a moment and then said, "In that case, I'll refrain from contacting Wu Siduo and Senior Sister Mu for now, but there's still one vacancy left."

As they were talking, Tang Wulin suddenly saw a handsome young man with blond hair passing by outside the window.

"I've got it, Xiaoyan, what do you think of him?"

Xu Xiaoyan looked in the direction of the sound and saw Le Zhengyu humming an unknown song, his hands behind his back, walking briskly towards the dormitory. Xu Xiaoyan's eyes lit up at the sight!
Isn't this a coincidence?

He's a boy, he won't develop feelings for Tang Wulin, he's a second-year student, he's quite strong, and he doesn't have much time to interact with Tang Wulin.

What a perfect tool!

"Sure! But will Le Zhengyu agree?" Xu Xiaoyan nodded, then asked with some worry.

In response, Tang Wulin patted his chest and said that everything was up to him.

Seeing this, Tang Wulin said to Tianfeng editor on the other end, "Sister Leng, you heard that too. I have some things to do here. Let's talk next time."

"Okay, little Linlin."

As a languid female voice rang out, the voice call on the screen was disconnected.

Xu Xiaoyan, who was standing to the side, was also taken aback.

Because she sensed a strange familiarity in that woman's voice.

It seemed as if she had heard that woman's voice somewhere before.

Moreover, why does the way of addressing Xiao Linlin sound so familiar?

Involuntarily, a noble and beautiful figure appeared in Xu Xiaoyan's mind.

Meanwhile, Tang Wulin was unaware of Xu Xiaoyan's thoughts. After disconnecting, he sent messages to Ye Xinglan and Yuanen one by one.

Soon after learning about it, Yuanen immediately replied, "Since it's what you want, then I can come."

On the other hand, compared to Yuan En's concise reply, Ye Xinglan responded in a somewhat sarcastic tone.

"Tsk, she needs to call for help just to charge a tower. It seems she's been stuck in the same place for the past three years."

"Well, fine, I'll move out of the inner courtyard soon anyway, so I'll agree this time for your sake."

"However, after we finish climbing the tower, I want you to show me around properly."

Seeing the messages from the two people on the screen, Xu Xiaoyan's face immediately darkened, and she instantly forgot about the familiar female voice she had just heard.

"Ugh, that wretched Ye Xinglan! How dare she talk to me like that, and she even dares to make demands? No way, Wu Lin, I won't allow you to go with her!"

Ye Xinglan said angrily to Tang Wulin.

"Uh, Xiaoyan, but I already made plans with Xinglan." Tang Wulin rubbed the back of his head with a hint of embarrassment.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan was taken aback, recalling the three-year agreement between Tang Wulin and Ye Xinglan three years ago. Seeing this, her face darkened even more.

"Humph!"

Xu Xiaoyan stormed out of the door.

Gu Yue and Xie Xie, who had already noticed the commotion, also took the opportunity to enter the room.

"Wu Lin, what's wrong with her? Why is she so easily startled?" Xie Xie asked curiously.

Seeing this, Tang Wulin explained the situation and then asked the two of them.

"That's it. So, Gu Yue, Xie Xie, are you free tomorrow?"

“Of course! We’re a three-person team!” Xie Xie immediately agreed upon hearing this.

You know, recently, because of Wu Changkong's group assignments, he has had much less time to spend with Tang Wulin and the others.

It was clearly his position, but that guy Wu Siduo took it away.

And this time, he finally had the chance to prove himself!
He, Xie Xie, is the true East China Sea F4, the true member of Tang Wulin's trio!
Gu Yue, who was standing to the side, had a glint in her eyes after hearing this, but she didn't say anything more and just nodded.

Seeing that the two of them already knew the whole story, Tang Wulin greeted them and then prepared to go find Le Zhengyu.

Soon, they arrived at Le Zhengyu's dormitory. Tang Wulin seemed to hear faint sounds of water and soft singing coming from inside.

But he didn't think much of it and immediately pushed the door open and went inside.

"Yue Zhengyu, I have it."

Tang Wulin was instantly frozen before he could finish speaking.

Because, before him was a completely naked, milky-white figure with golden hair cascading down her back.

Water droplets flowed down her hair, her fair skin glistening and translucent, creating a sacred and alluring image of an angel bathing.

But before Tang Wulin could continue watching...

"Ah—" A sharp scream suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterwards, the white in front of Tang Wulin turned into a dazzling ball of light.

A pair of enormous angelic wings suddenly unfurled, followed by an intense surge of soul power, and these holy and radiant wings began to flap with tremendous force.

The intense whirlwind and blinding light made it impossible for Tang Wulin to see what was ahead for a moment.

But soon, the golden light subsided, and Yue Zhengyu was already wearing Shrek Academy's uniform. At this moment, his pretty face was flushed, and his eyes were full of shock and anger.

Looking at Tang Wulin's figure in front of him, he roared, "Bastard!"

Immediately, he made a sweeping motion with his right hand in front of him, and the spirit rings beneath his feet flashed with light.

A sacred sword suddenly appeared in his hand and then shot towards Tang Wulin.

Upon seeing this, Tang Wulin instinctively drew his Flame Sword to block it.

"boom!"

Sparks flew, light shone, and sword energy crisscrossed.

The door to the room, and everything inside, was instantly consumed by flames and holy light.

Looking at the surrounding environment and at the angry-looking Le Zhengyu in front of him, Tang Wulin quickly shouted.

"Calm down, it's me. Let's talk this out. Don't draw your sword! Look around, your house is on fire!"

Le Zhengyu, already caught up in the moment, ignored Tang Wulin's words and instead increased his soul power output, questioning him angrily.

"It's you? What are you doing? Why didn't you knock? Didn't you hear me taking a shower?! What did you see?!"

"I had something I wanted to discuss with you. It was my fault for not knocking. I'm sorry."

"But I swear I didn't see anything, at most I only saw your back," Tang Wulin quickly explained.

But when Yue Zhengyu heard this, he became even more furious, and the sacred sword in his hand erupted once again.

Seeing this, Tang Wulin's eyelids twitched, and he quickly shouted.

"No, Yue Zhengyu, calm down. We're all men. Even if I saw you taking a shower, so what? At worst, I'll just let you see me back."

Upon hearing this, Le Zhengyu's soul power, which he was just about to unleash, was caught in a throttle.
