The Legend of the Dragon King - Chapter 1305

Chapter 1305: 1305

“Battle of Five Gods? His Majesty is really… Wow!” Teng Teng looked at Dai Yueyan with an expression full of praise as he spoke .

In the Flourishing Pavilion, one of the high-end restaurants in Star Luo City, sat a group of people around a table inside a private room reserved for the emperor .

Seven of the former Monster Academy’s Eight Heavenly Kings were present . The only person absent was the Spirit King Dai Yun’er .

Long Yue sat at the main seat like a lofty mountain . He was silent .

Teng Teng who sat beside him spoke his mind .

The Wind King Lin San nodded and said, “His Majesty is far-sighted . According to the public news report, once the Tang Sect is engaged with the empire, it won’t be easy for them to pull out . I’m worried over how the Tang Sect will react to this . With the war breaking out anytime soon, the Tang Sect’s Sect Master’s visit to the Star Luo Empire will certainly be detrimental to the Tang Sect . Will the empire be blacklisted by the Tang Sect?”

Dai Yueyan replied, “They’ll certainly be disgruntled . However, they have no other choice currently . We haven’t exactly been noble in our actions lately . The Tang Sect came to help us, but we’ve put them in a spot . However, we’ve been compelled to do this . One of the weapons Tang Wulin brought is called a heavy ion beam . It can pierce through a mecha’s protective barrier to annihilate its interior but leaving the outer shell intact . Even a black mecha can’t stop such an attack . That weapon is truly terrifying . ”

“It made us realize that the empire is currently way behind in soul technology as compared to the Federation . It’s impossible for us to catch up by relying on our own research institute . Initially, the Tang Sect’s requests seemed harsh . However, considering the Tang Sect didn’t increase the prices of these crucial weapons at this critical juncture, it’ll be prudent to accept their proposal . Father made up his mind after the Tang Sect showed us the deficiency of our soul technologies . The empire can only be on par with the Federation if the Tang Sect sides us . ”

Hua Lantang looked at Dai Yueyan with a peculiar gaze, “Your Highness, I’m sure you realize we’re all members of the Tang Sect . You were once a member . Since you’ve told us the truth, we’ve no choice but to report it to our superiors . ”

Dai Yueyan smiled revealing his white teeth . “It’s a done deal . We must own up to what we’ve done . Besides, the empire does not wish to have any conflict with the Tang Sect . The empire had no choice but to take this course of action . Moreover, it’s Tang Wulin’s own doing . ”

Ye Zhi could not restrain herself from saying, “Just how much do you hate our Sect Master?”

Dai Yueyan snorted . “Hate him? I would love to kill him! He didn’t even take my father’s pride into consideration . He rejected our proposal for marriage in public . If he had agreed to the proposal, there would’ve been no need for all this . Yun’er is the most beloved princess of the royal family . The cumulative love received by all the princes was nothing compared to the love the princess alone received . Of all things, Tang Wulin had the gall to reject her which upset my father terribly . He shouldn’t blame us for going against him . ”

“Tang Wulin is not a simple man . ” Long Yue, who had been keeping silent, suddenly spoke up .

The others focused their gazes on Long Yue .

Even though each of them had different identities now, they were all high-ranking officials of the organizations they were affiliated with . Dai Yueyan was the crown prince, the future ruler of the Star Luo Empire . On the other hand, Long Yue was still the leader of the Eight Heavenly Kings . He remained as the Dragon King who had awed the entire nation .

When he spoke, the others quietened down naturally .

“Big brother, do you know him better?” Dai Yueyan asked Long Yue .

Long Yue nodded his head, “Although Tang Wulin is younger than all of us, he has a confidence that’s well beyond his age . If the empire plotted against him, I don’t think he’ll take it lying down . Also, we better not underestimate him . The Battle of Five Gods might not be a defeat for him . He has at least one attribute which I don’t have . He’s not afraid of failing . His tenacity can exceed even your wildest imagination . His natural talents are better than mine . We haven’t seen him for a few years now . I wonder just how powerful he is . Even our teacher can’t tell . ”

“No way?” Shadow King Teng Teng said with incredulity, “Big brother, you’re telling me that he’s currently more powerful than you? But, you’re already a Title Douluo!”

Long Yue replied, “I’m not sure how much he has improved over the years . However, when I met him back then in Shrek Academy, he was already stronger than me . The overall progress of the Shrek Seven Monsters is greater than ours . If we ever face them again, I reckon that we’ll surely lose . ”

The others fell silent . If anyone else had said the same, they would have retorted . Everyone kept quiet as it was Long Yue who made the comments .

Long Yue’s desire to win was the strongest among them . He never accepted defeat . He had stood at the pinnacle of the younger generation . He was a Title Douluo at the age of twenty-five . He possessed the Mountain Dragon King martial soul . It had been somewhat decided that he would be the next principal of the Monster Academy . He was already the Vice Hall Master of the empire’s Worship Hall . He had the highest potential in the entire continent to be a Limit Douluo in the near future .

For such a person to say that he might not be as strong as Tang Wulin meant that the power of Tang Wulin’s natural gifts were unimaginable .

“I don’t care if I win or lose, I really wish to fight them again,” Wind King Lin San said calmly .

The Wolf King Su Mu who was seated on the left nodded . “Yeah, I wish that too . Since they’re here, we shouldn’t let this opportunity go . Big brother, can we organize a seven against seven with them before the Battle of Five Gods?”

A bright radiance suddenly burst forth from Long Yue’s eyes . He turned to look at Dai Yueyan . “Your Highness, what do you think?”

Dai Yueyan clenched his fists in response . “I’ve wanted to beat that Tang Wulin brat for a long time . I really do . Fourth Brother, go tell the Smiley Face Douluo it’ll be a warm-up battle for the Tang Sect’s Sect Master . See if they agree . We can do this discreetly . We’ll have it in the Tang Sect’s gymnasium . ”

Hua Lantang took a deep breath . “Alright, I’ll go ask His Excellency, the Smiley Face Douluo for his opinion . However, I’d like to remind everyone that the Sect Master had sparred with the Smiley Face Douluo on the first day of his arrival . Only the people who came with the Sect Master and the Tang Sect’s Title Douluos or above had the chance to observe the duel . We didn’t get to witness the match . However, we heard the comments of the Title Douluos who had watched the match . They remarked that they understood how Tang Wulin became the Sect Master . At the very least, we can be sure that he survived the fight with the Smiley Face Douluo . ”

Teng Teng pouted . “What does that prove? Did the Smiley Face Douluo use his full force against him?”

Hua Lantang said, “I’m not sure about that, but we should all be careful . Tang Wulin and the Shrek Seven Monsters are no longer the same as they were before . ”

Long Yue had a dry smile . “I’m not qualified to enter the Battle of Five Gods yet . This is our only chance . So what if we lose? If Tang Wulin can lose, we can lose as well . After all, don’t you guys have any faith in yourselves? Sure, they’ve been working hard the past few years . Aren’t we doing the same?”

His voice was firm and forceful . In this moment, the other six Heavenly Kings felt their blood boil .

All these years, had we not been working hard as well? We had also been constantly improving ourselves . Everyone had made substantial progress . Even the crown prince Dai Yueyan had not given up on his cultivation . They had lived routine lives day after day for a single purpose which was to redeem themselves when the opportunity arose .

Now, the opportunity had come . They could not let it slip no matter what .
