"Big brother, are you alright?" Xie Xie was asking for the umpteenth time . He asked yet again when he saw Tang Wulin gobble down his fifteenth bowl of noodles .
Tang Wulin threw him a side glance . "When will Hall Master Li be arriving?"
"I think he should be here soon . I contacted him already . " No matter how Xie Xie looked at him, Tang Wulin did not appear to be the same . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
He had been awake for a few hours now . What surprised everyone was that he was exceptionally calm . He did not break down in a serious bout of grief because of his parents' deaths . He just sat there blankly . Half an hour later, he would deal with other matters . For instance, he contacted Li Yunzhe and prepared for the negotiations with the Dou Spirit Empire .
The calmer he was, the more worried the others became . They knew Tang Wulin too well . He was such an emotional person . The sight of his father on the brink of death had caused him to transform into the Blood Dragon and destroy a Spirit Pagoda Branch . Now that both his parents were 'dead', how could he be so calm? Could this be the calm before the storm?
Tang Wulin remained calm, but he would space out occasionally . His mind would wander off at times . However, the odd thing was that it did not affect his appetite .
"Let's go . " Finally, after having his fill, Tang Wulin stood up and walked out . Xie Xie, Yue Zhengyu, Xu Xiaoyan, Yuanen Yehui, Ye Xinglan, and Xu Lizhi stood up as well .
Although he was only having his meal, the others followed him nonetheless . They were worried that a mishap might happen or he would lose control of his emotions .
However, Tang Wulin seemed as normal as he could be during the past few hours . However, the more normal he acted, the more it seemed abnormal to the others .
In truth, Tang Wulin's thoughts were a mess right now . In the short span of three days, he had received too much information which he could not process . The immense information load had a huge impact on his spirit . This was especially true since his adopted parents died, and he learned that his biological parents were two legendary personas . At this very moment, Tang Wulin felt as if he was in a dream .
Everything felt unreal . Now, whether it was his adopted parents or his biological father who might have been real, they were like wild geese which had flown away to an unseen world . They did not leave any trace of their existence behind . He could not even meet Old Tang anymore in the future .
The pain he felt due to his adopted parents' death had eased greatly . However, a sense of loneliness came upon him in place of the pain .
Although he was an emotional mess, he was surprisingly calm . He needed time to manage his emotions and accept the facts which seemed surreal .
Nevertheless, he could at least be sure of one thing . Within his sea of spirit, there was another new spearing technique . There seemed to be something else as well . His sea of spirit seemed unusually grim, but he did not feel weak nor unstable like he was after his Blood Dragon Transformation .
The Ice God Pearl seemed to have fallen silent . Whether it was his state of mind or the change in his spirits which had become more stable, Tang Wulin faintly felt the thing his father had infused into his spiritual world . It seemed to have improved his spiritual power . It was not a quantitative improvement . Instead, it was a vague kind of qualitative change which he could not seem to fathom .
However, Tang Wulin was currently not interested in improving his own strength . His mind was filled with the voices he heard while his adopted parents were on the verge of death . There was also the voice of his God King father who appeared after that .
The Shrek Six Monsters formed a semi-circle as they stood before Tang Wulin who was sitting on a chair .
"Big brother is spacing out again . Is he really alright?" Xu Xiaoyan whispered .
Yue Zhengyu spoke to Tang Wulin, "Captain, if you feel sad, you should just let it out . We'll be with you every step of the way . "
Yuanen Yehui sighed . "Nothing is more pathetic than a dead heart . His condition is really bad . I'd prefer him going on a wild rampage . At least, he can let out all those emotions inside him . "
Xu Lizhi's eyes reddened . "I feel so sorry for big brother, and we aren't able to help him . Those wicked evil soul masters! Don't let me see them!"
Tang Wulin sat there blankly . He showed no reaction since the beginning . If the Holy Spirit Douluo had not checked his body to confirm there was nothing wrong, they would have been more worried .
Xie Xie squatted down beside Tang Wulin and waved a hand before his eyes .
Tang Wulin's brows furrowed slightly . He smacked his hand away . Then, he raised his head . When he saw his companions standing before him, he was surprised and asked, "What're you guys doing?"
Xu Xiaoyan said with a wry smile, "Captain, I think you should just let it all out . It'll be better that way . Why don't we find a place, so we can fight it all out?"
Tang Wulin shook his head . "I'm alright, don't worry guys . There are just some things that don't make sense . It's highly probable that my parents aren't dead . They've just gone to another place . I'm not sure of the details myself . That's why I'm at a loss . I just need some time to think . So really, don't worry about me, guys . "
Were they not dead?
When they heard this and put together what the Holy Spirit Douluo had told them, that Tang Wulin's parents had mysteriously disappeared, they exchanged looks .
Xu Lizhi ventured, "Big brother, they were initially fine . What happened to them?"
Tang Wulin paused momentarily . Soon after, his eyes were filled with vigor! A cold gleam flickered in his bright eyes . Yes! His parents had undergone a sudden change back then . It was evident that it had been induced on purpose . They also heard the Holy Spirit Douluo's words back then . She should know the enemy's identity .
No matter where his parents were taken to, even if they survived, he must avenge them, if nothing else .
When he thought of this, Tang Wulin suddenly stood up . "I'll go meet Her Excellency . She probably knows who did it to my parents . I think I heard her mentioning that it was the Blood Demon's Killing Curse!"
"Let's go together . We'll avenge your parents with you," Yue Zhengyu declared .
At this very moment, the Holy Spirit Douluo's voice came within earshot of everyone, "That person is the Blood Demon . He was already a rank-97 Hyper Douluo forty years ago . He's especially evil among the evil soul masters . He cultivated his demonic powers with the blood and essence of others . He'll take as many as a hundred lives each time he cultivates . His cultivation base is very peculiar . Back then, Brother Ming and I fought against him . Brother Ming had him killed . I don't know why he's still alive . I don't think he was ever dead . "
"The Blood Demon's Killing Curse is a power he's skilled at . He uses it to control his blood servants . He'll harvest a drop of essence and blood each from the person he wants to control, leaving a mark on the person . Regardless of the distance between them, he can instantly control the person's life . They may even be more than ten thousand miles apart . It's peculiar and evil . It seems that he's one of the higher-ranking officials of the Holy Spirit Cult . After all these years, he most probably has the strength close to or even that of a Limit Douluo . "
"Wulin, your parent's situation is very strange . If you know that they're not dead, then you shouldn't worry . No matter what, we'll share the burden with you . You've very heavy responsibilities, having to carry the weight of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy on your shoulders . You mustn't break down . If there's anything that you don't understand or you need our help to analyze, just say it . If it's related to your own secrets, then it's fine if you don't tell us . Since Brother Ming had chosen you as his successor, I believe in him . Do your best, and we'll support you no matter what . "
After listening to the Holy Spirit Douluo, Tang Wulin felt a surge of warmth welling up within him . Back then, the Holy Spirit Douluo's hair had turned white overnight . Her heart was as dead as a doornail, but she persevered to fulfill Yun Ming's wishes . She did it for those who were alive as well . If she could be that strong, he should strive to be stronger .
