Chapter 1716: 1716
The numerous War Gods stood in a line behind the Skycrosser Douluo Guan Yue . Guan Yue looked at Tang Wulin and his comrades with mixed emotions . He heaved a soft sigh . “From this day forth, your generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters is considered matured . ”
Tang Wulin smiled and nodded in salutation to the numerous War Gods before him . He would not mention Guan Yue’s guidance nor thank Guan Yue in front of all the people .
“The spar has ended . You’ve the authority to venture deeper now . Later on, I’ll be bringing you all to enter the deeper levels of the War God Hall . Your capabilities have been tested, but there are still other tests awaiting you . ” Guan Yue said to Tang Wulin with a meaningful glance . Then, he made an inviting gesture toward the crowd .
At present, the crowd from Shrek were excited .
They had won and they knew it .
Even though the outcomes of the many rounds of battles were ties toward the latter parts of the test, they were confident enough to take on the battles for real .
Apart from Tang Wulin, no one had any idea of Guan Yue’s capabilities . Hence, they thought that they had won .
It signified the uprising of Shrek . It was a real uprising to boot .
The War Gods were all suppressed by them including the few high-ranking War Gods at the front .
Whether it was A Ruheng’s Golden Body Arhat or the Leakproof Golden Body, or even Xu Xiaoyan’s number one control skills under the starry sky, the War God Hall was truly shocked .
From this moment onward, this generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters had achieved the top tier of the soul masters’ world . They had truly matured just as mentioned by the Skycrosser Douluo .
One could imagine that in the near future when everyone of them was cladded in a four-word battle armor, Shrek would certainly be at the advent of a prosperous era .
The wall cracked open to reveal a path . Under Guan Yue’s guidance, the people followed the War Gods to another place .
The numerous War Gods in the War God Hall had yet to recover from the shock . Despite feeling recalcitrant in their hearts, they had no choice but to admit everything that had happened was real and the people from Shrek were truly powerful .
Ling Zichen had woken up from her previous state . She appeared rather quiet now . Tang Wulin transmitted his voice to ask how she was doing and she replied that she was doing fine .
It was not the right time for Tang Wulin to talk to her . He realized that it was a crushing blow for her when she failed to fight the Demon Guqin Douluo . The arrogant Director Ling was certainly feeling bitter now .
It was a good thing because one could only improve after suffering a setback . Thus, Tang Wulin did not try to talk to her anymore . He decided that they would discuss it further after leaving this place . Moreover, they had other important tasks at hand .
The Skycrosser Douluo Guan Yue came to a halt while the rest of the War Gods stood by his side . Guan Yue looked at the Asiatic Apple Douluo and asked, “Mengshan, are you going to stay with us for the time being or join them?”
Shi Mengshan took a glance at A Ruheng by her side and replied, “I’m joining them . ”
As soon as she gave her reply, the other War Gods exhibited rather unpleasant expressions on their faces . It signified that the Asiatic Apple Douluo’s heart was with the others .
The War God Hall had never been strict with its regulations because it was an organization under the jurisdiction of the parliament . The decision to leave was never an issue . As long as the person obeyed the enlistment order, the organization would never control a War God’s marriage .
A number of the War Gods understood Shi Mengshan’s situation . After all, it was not an easy task for the Asiatic Apple Douluo to find a life partner . Now that she had finally found someone, they were happy for her .
“Alright . ” Guan Yue nodded .
“Be prepared . This will take you straight to the sixteenth level of hell . We’ve completed the adjustments beforehand . You’ll be considered as having passed all eighteen levels of hell once you pass the next three levels . ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Guan Yue pressed an unidentified button . Soon after, Tang Wulin and the rest felt the ground beneath their feet vanish and their bodies drop instantly .
The group had the ability to fly . However, there was a strong suction force from below . It forcefully pulled their bodies into free fall .
Xu Xiaoyan was still in an excited state from the battle earlier . She quickly unleashed her Star Chain at once to link up everyone . Naturally, Ling Zichen was the exception because she was not a soul master . Her mecha did not have the ability to exploit the Star Chain’s sharing ability .
Simultaneously, Tang Wulin also reacted to the situation . His Mountain Dragon King’s Torso Bone was unleashed to control the gravitational field in the surroundings . Yuanen Yehui assisted by throwing a few punches downward to stabilize their freefall .
The entrance overhead which was opened a while ago was now closed . Everything in the surroundings darkened .
Yue Zhengyu spread out his wings and summoned the Holy Light . It illuminated the surroundings akin to a small sun .
It seemed like they were in a cavern . It reminded Tang Wulin of the abyssal passage in the past because the walls were engraved with all kinds of soul circuit striations . The only difference was that there was a very strong suction force coming from below that pulled at them constantly into a freefall .
They dropped for nearly two minutes before the suction force weakened . At last, the people could see the ground below them illuminated by Yue Zhengyu’s body .
To be more precise, the ground appeared to be the surface of water because they could hear the sound of water lapping as they approached the bottom . The water was rippling energetically which meant that it was a pool of flowing water .
Tang Wulin looked toward his comrades .
Xie Xie took it upon himself . “I’ll go since I can swim . ” As he was speaking, a radiance bloomed on his body which made him alternate between illusion and reality . He dived straight into the water .
A Star Chain was connected to his back to ensure his safety . The others were hovering above the water .
The suction force had disappeared completely by then . It looked like they would need to cross the underground river to get to the War God Hall’s sixteenth level .
“According to the speed and duration of our fall, we should have arrived at the bottom of the mountain instead of being at its center . The underground river should be connected to the river outside judging by the velocity of the groundwater flow . If I’m not mistaken, the West Mountain area of Mingdu has a river formed from the glacial waters, and it is known as the Ming River . It flows in the southwest direction all the way to the sea . ” Ling Zichen who had been quiet earlier finally spoke .
As a scientist, she was used to making judgments based on the data gathered .
It did not take long before a ‘plop’ was heard . Xie Xie got out from the water and shook his body to dry himself .
“There’s a river under the water . It’s very long . I swam ahead for about a thousand meters, but I didn’t see the end . That was the limit of the Star Chain . I was afraid that all of you would be worried, so I came back . Based on the current situation, it’s not dangerous in the river, and I didn’t see any sign of a soul beast . The only thing is I don’t know how long it’ll take before we can reach the exit . ”
Tang Wulin asked, “Is there a branch under the water?”
Xie Xie shook his head and said, “Not as far as I can tell . The underground river runs in a straight line all the way into the distance . Our only issue is air . Although we’re all capable of recycling the air, there’s still a limit to our abilities . I don’t think we can last more than half an hour . ”
A Ruheng said, “Why don’t I give it a try? I can withhold my breath underwater for about two to three hours . ”
Shi Mengshan who had been silent by his side suddenly tugged at him .
A Ruheng turned his head to the side and looked toward her . Everyone including A Ruheng did not think of asking Shi Mengshan about this place .
After all, the Asiatic Apple Douluo was from the War God Hall . On the other hand, they were about to face a test of the War God Hall . Undoubtedly, it would make things difficult for Shi Mengsan if they were to ask her now . Hence, everyone understood the reason for not asking her . Instead, they decided to rely on their own judgements .
A Ruheng looked at her with a questioning gaze .
