Douluo Continent: I, Tang Wulin, a Kamen Rider

Chapter 162 The dragon slayer finally becomes an evil dragon

However, fate took a sharp turn for the worse after that.

Because of that bloody massacre, he was ruthlessly arrested, and because of his martial soul attribute and innate soul power, he was once again plunged into a dark vortex of being bullied and oppressed.

In that dark and hopeless prison, the humiliation and torture he suffered were like sharp thorns, deeply piercing his soul and filling his heart with hatred and despair.

Then one day, when the evil spirit master came out to harvest blood food, he was seen as one of their own because of his martial spirit attribute, and was thus saved.

Finally, with the teacher's help, he once again retaliated against all those who had bullied him.

Since then, he has been like a trapped beast lost in a dark labyrinth, each step arranged by his teacher, sinking deeper and deeper into the darkness, going further and further away.

Even now, as his thoughts drift back, his gaze travels through the long tunnel of time, looking back at the mottled and colorful past years.

It was as if a blinding lightning bolt had suddenly struck his heart, instantly revealing a cruel and helpless truth.

At this moment, he has experienced countless trials and tribulations and ups and downs in his life.

He had unknowingly transformed into the adult he once loathed, the one who trampled on his dignity and hope.

He was once so weak and helpless under the oppression of those adults.

But now, he treats the world with the same cruelty and ruthlessness.

To harm innocent people is like fate playing a cruel joke, turning him into the very kind of person he once despised.

However, when his gaze finally settled on the little girl who had appeared out of nowhere, it was a different story.

His lips trembled slightly, his eyes filled with endless confusion and pain, and the warmth and sorrow of the past surged into his heart like a tide.

During those difficult years in the orphanage, the girl before him was like a beacon in the darkness, and also like Number 18, whom he had ruthlessly tormented.

With her seemingly frail yet incredibly resilient body, she steadfastly protected him.

Whenever malice and harm from the outside world come like a storm, she always steps forward without hesitation, using her not-so-broad shoulders to create a small but warm and peaceful haven for him.

She was his only solace in that cold world, and the most precious treasure in his heart.

In the end, however, the only light that illuminated his dark world was cruelly extinguished by those cold-hearted, hard-hearted adults.

In that instant, his world completely collapsed, and all his hopes and dreams vanished.

And it was precisely for her that he, at the very first moment after awakening his martial soul and mastering extraordinary power, did so.

Then, disregarding everything and acting like a madman, he launched a bloody revenge against those damned adults.

"Sister, was I really wrong?"

His lips trembled slightly, his voice filled with endless confusion.

Two lines of bloody tears had been flowing from his eyes for some time now, sliding down his cheeks and dripping onto the ground beneath his feet.

But the next second, he could no longer suppress the surging energy within him that was about to erupt like volcanic lava.

"boom!"

A deafening roar, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing, followed by another explosion on the blood-soaked battlefield.

The blood dragon's body, which was still in place, suddenly exploded, bursting into blinding and raging flames.

The flames were like a primordial beast that had been imprisoned for a long time, breaking free of its shackles and raging wildly.

Like a raging torrent of fire, it swept across all directions with overwhelming force, turning everything around it a fiery red.

Amidst the interplay of light and shadow, a shape resembling a mushroom appears.

A magnificent yet terrifying sunset cloud slowly rose from the area where the Blood Dragon was located, becoming the most chilling and spectacular sight on this bloody battlefield.

This is the countless sword energy and flames that Tang Wulin left in the Blood Dragon's body when he attacked it, in order to consume as much of the essence blood of others as possible.

At this moment, the two intertwined and collided, like two extreme destructive forces.

It was like a thrilling life-or-death battle unfolding inside the Blood Dragon's body, ultimately triggering this incredibly powerful chain explosion.

Illuminated by the flames of the exploding blood dragon, Tang Wulin stood proudly in the center of the battlefield.

It was as if it were the last king who had emerged from the smoke and fire of war, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

Everyone around involuntarily held their breath, unable to look directly at him.

This breathtaking scene made everyone feel as if they were in a newly released popcorn blockbuster with amazing special effects.

After all, how could an ordinary, legitimate Soul Master possess such astonishing strength to so easily kill an evil Soul Master who had clearly just used his ultimate ability?
What's more, that evil soul master is a Soul Douluo wearing two-word battle armor!

Leaving aside its own formidable and terrifying strength, its renowned Ring-Exploding Secret Technique, which is famous throughout the entire Douluo Continent, is enough to strike fear into people's hearts.

Others may not know the power of the exploding rings, but how could those of them who have heard of the Sea God Tang San saving the world since childhood not know it?
This was Tang San's trump card back when he was still a god!
Therefore, when all of this actually happened before their eyes, people couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity and disbelief.

He couldn't help but secretly wonder if this was a dream or a cruel joke played by some peerless expert.
"So handsome! You're absolutely so handsome, Wu Lin! You're practically my own Emperor Yan, or rather, the male lead in a novel!"

Unlike others who were not yet familiar with Tang Wulin, Xie Xie's eyes were shining with a burning light at this moment.

He stared intently at Tang Wulin, who stood in the center of the battlefield like a god of war descending upon the world.

The excitement in his heart was like a surging, roaring tide, crashing against his heart wave after wave, almost uncontrollable.

In his view, Tang Wulin at this moment perfectly overlapped with the invincible, overpowered male protagonist he had described in his previous novels, without the slightest difference.

A mere Soul Master could unleash such heaven-defying power, utterly overwhelming a Soul Douluo clad in battle armor and wielding the Ring-Exploding Technique. Such a feat is something even the most extravagant Soul Guide blockbusters, known for their exaggerated special effects and fantastical plots, would never dare to depict!
But if the protagonist, Soul Master, is Tang Wulin, then Xie Xie can only say, "That's fine then."

My brother is so handsome!
Of course, Xie Xie's thoughts at this moment were also the shared sentiments of the other women standing to the side.

Their bright eyes were fixed on Tang Wulin's figure, their gazes filled with longing and pride.

Even Liu An, Mo Lan, and the others, upon witnessing Tang Wulin remove his awe-inspiring battle armor, rushed to the side to carefully treat the guards.

The doubts and deep shock that had been lingering in my heart vanished quietly, like wisps of smoke blown by a spring breeze.

Instead, a sense of relief and pride arose spontaneously and naturally.

Soon, night fell like a giant black ribbon, slowly spreading down from the sky and enveloping the entire world. Time quietly passed and night began.

The sirens wailed as Tang Wulin stood quietly, watching the deeply moving scenes unfolding outside.

The family members were reunited with their long-lost children and relatives. They hugged each other tightly, and tears streamed down their faces uncontrollably.

The scene of tears of joy was like the most touching painting in the world, filled with endless longing and the joy of regaining what was lost.

Witnessing all this, Tang Wulin's tense mind finally had a chance to relax, like a taut bowstring finally finding its resting place.

Then, as if drawn by some invisible force, he slowly turned around and turned his gaze to the little girl Xiaoyu sitting in the center of Xu Xiaoyan and the others.

A hint of confusion and unease flickered in her eyes, yet she tried her best to remain calm under the care of everyone.

"Don't worry, Wu Lin. Although this child's family is no longer alive, I have successfully completed the adoption procedures for her."

"She will be my child from now on, and she will take my surname, Mo. I will treat her like my own daughter and take good care of her."

The dark blue figure beside him seemed to possess a magical power that could penetrate souls and see into the most subtle and hidden corners of others' hearts, as if it could see through the deep concern in the boy's heart for the girl's future fate at a glance.

Her luscious red lips parted slightly, and the voice that escaped her lips was as gentle as a breeze rustling willow branches, yet it carried an unwavering strength, flowing softly like a gentle stream.

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin's brows, which had been slightly furrowed like gently gathered mountain peaks, began to relax, as if ice and snow were melting under the warm sun.

He leaned slightly forward and nodded gently to Mo Lan, his movements slow and natural, conveying a restrained sincerity and respect.

"Thank you very much, Sister Mo Lan." Tang Wulin's words were very sincere and grateful.

In response, Mo Lan gently shook her head, her long, ink-black hair swaying slightly, like black silk dancing in the wind.

Then, she took a step forward with light, graceful steps, and gently took Tang Wulin's hand with her slender, jade-like hand.

"No, Wu Lin, it should be me who is grateful to you. If it weren't for you standing up for me, I can't even imagine how many innocent passengers would have been injured or killed in that afternoon's train incident."

As he spoke, Mo Lan's eyes were filled with solemnity and lingering fear, as if the tragic scene was right before his eyes.

"Moreover, without your bravery and fearlessness, we would have been powerless to rescue Xiaoyu and these poor children, as well as the many victims."

"Moreover, if it weren't for you, we would probably still be kept in the dark, completely unaware that such a terrifying den of demons was hidden within Tiandou City."

Mo Lan's voice trembled slightly, her emotions growing increasingly agitated, each word filled with respect and gratitude for Tang Wulin.

"All of this is because of you, Wu Lin. Therefore, it is the people of our Tian Dou City who should express their sincerest and deepest gratitude to you."

Mo Lan held Tang Wulin's hand tightly, gazing at him with a firm and ardent look, as if she wanted to imprint the young man in front of her deeply in her heart.

Liu An chimed in, "That's right, Wu Lin, thanks to you, we were able to discover such a huge hidden danger beneath our guard's patrol. It's also thanks to you that my brothers and I survived. You have no idea how critical the situation was. If you hadn't appeared in time, we would probably all have perished at the hands of the evil soul master."

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin shook his head.

“I was simply following my heart and doing what I felt was the right thing to do. How could I stand idly by when people were put in danger because of my request?”

"Of course, this is also the result of everyone working together. If it weren't for the brave resistance of the guards who bought me time, I would not have been able to deal with it successfully."

Seeing this, Mo Wu cleared his throat slightly, coughed lightly, and then slowly stepped forward, extending his broad palm to gently pat Tang Wulin's shoulder, his eyes full of praise and satisfaction.

"Child, stop being so modest. Your strength and courage are evident to everyone present."

"After this incident, I can assure you, as a councilor of Tiandou, that we will definitely launch a comprehensive and sweeping overhaul within Tiandou City with swift and decisive action."

"Those audacious criminals who dare to provide fixed-installation soul tools to evil soul masters, no matter how complex the forces behind them are, or who they are, none of them will escape the punishment they deserve!"

"Of course, you will undoubtedly become a hero and role model in Tiandou City. I will apply to bestow upon you the highest honor in Tiandou City to recognize your great achievements."

"You will become a young hero whose name resounds throughout the continent!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin lowered his head slightly, fell into deep thought for a moment, and then slowly spoke.

“I appreciate your kindness, but I don’t want to be a so-called young hero. I think I’m just an ordinary person who writes novels.”

"All I have done is follow my own sense of justice and conscience."

"Furthermore, I have made agreements with other people, so I cannot appear in public."

"Moreover, as I said before, this was not something that could be achieved by my own meager efforts alone. It is the result of our joint efforts and hard work together."

"The bravery and fearlessness of the uncles in the Tiandou Guard when facing danger are deeply imprinted in my mind."

"Each of them is an indispensable source of strength for this victory."

"Therefore, if possible, I hope that you can grant the honors that those soldiers who died in this incident deserve."

"They are the true heroes!"
