The Legend of the Dragon King - Chapter 713

Chapter 713: A Small World

"Hold hands!" Black One's figure sped by reaching both Tang Wulin and White Seven who were second in line .

Tang Wulin turned to look at White Seven and extended his right arm . White Seven was reluctant, but she eventually reached out to hold his hand . Both of them leapt as if they were treading on clouds and floating on mist . They headed straight toward the breach .

The instant they took flight, Tang Wulin felt White Seven's tightening grip on his hand revealing her anxiety .

'Is she afraid? She's a fighter, but she's so timid . '

The thought occupied his mind when Tang Wulin felt his vision go dark . Soon, he felt the sky and earth twirling and whirling . Everything started to blur, and he felt as if space itself was warped .

Acting on reflex, he clutched White Seven's hand tightly .

The tugging persisted for a while in the darkness . Suddenly, light reappeared . Then, a weightless feeling .

Tang Wulin realized then that they were free-falling . He quickly drew a deep breath to activate the soul power within him .

However, he did not notice that a special energy had channeled into him . His soul power was suppressed until he could hardly unleash an ounce of it .

Black One had mentioned that they would be unable to utilize their martial souls in Dragon Valley . 'Is this what he meant?'

As expected, Tang Wulin could not activate his Bluesilver Grass . Meanwhile, they were plummeting at a blinding speed .

"Ah! My martial soul!" White Seven screamed . She was obviously flustered, and she struggled with all her might .

Tang Wulin looked down . The ground was coming up fast toward them . With his quick wit, he yanked White Seven toward him and hugged her tightly . As soon as he touched the ground, he rolled sideways with White Seven still in his embrace .

He was blessed with the Golden Dragon King bloodline which gave him formidable strength . He had broken much of the fall with his powerful legs . Rolling upon impact, he managed to disperse the remaining energy .

White Seven's arms were tightly wrapped around his neck . Her body shivered as she was obviously in shock .

Tang Wulin had wrapped his arms around her waist . His arms acted as supports to cushion their fall .

By the time they stopped moving, White Seven was prostrated on Wulin's chest, and her petite frame shaking . Her body was soft and supple with a sweet scent . Wulin felt awkward with her body pressing on his chest .

"Ugh!" White Seven had also noticed the impropriety of their situation . She quickly shoved him away, putting some distance between their bodies .

Tang Wulin gently nudged her and sat up .

White Seven's breathing was a little labored . Simultaneously, they looked up at the cloudless, azure sky .

"We seem to have been sent to another dimension," Tang Wulin said amazed .

White Seven appeared to have calmed down . She stood up abruptly and executed a few jumps on the spot .

"What other dimension? This is a small world in a dimensional rift . "

"A small world?" Tang Wulin looked at her in surprise .

White Seven said, "Don't you know, on Star Luo Continent, there are many similar small dimensional rifts? A majority of them are highly unstable and may be destroyed at any time . But, there are also a few dimensional rifts that are stable with their interiors connected to various unique places . These places are like fragmented continents . They have their own ecosystems but aren't planets . They are a world unto its own . If the dimensional rift becomes unstable, these small worlds could be destroyed . Moreover, all the small worlds are attached to the big worlds . For example, Douluo Star is a big world . When the small world is forming, it represents a segment of the big world . How did you become a white fighter? Haven't you taken the small world space theory class?"

Of course, Tang Wulin had not . This was knowledge that was exclusive to Star Luo Continent . After White Seven's exposition, which he did not fully comprehend, he got the impression that Star Luo Continent was indeed unique and amazing .

"I can't activate my soul power, and my martial soul too," remarked Tang Wulin to White Seven .

"I can't as well, but my physique is still intact," murmured White Seven .

Tang Wulin nodded . He was not flustered because he was not your typical Soul Master . Even without his soul power, he had his bloodline power and his inborn superhuman strength . His bloodline ring was not affected by soul power, thus, his strength remained .

However, Tang Wulin had no intention of using his bloodline ring on a whim, because it would be too conspicuous .

News of Shrek Academy's victory over Monster Academy had spread throughout Star Luo Continent . He was reluctant to reveal his identity as he did not want to be discriminated, like a mouse in a crowded street, in Star Luo Continent's circle of Soul Masters .

If White Seven knew his identity, he was afraid that they would not be able to cooperate further . After all, in her eyes, he was still an outsider .

Since the other Soul Masters accomplished their missions in Dragon Valley without revealing their identities, he should be able to do it too . He would expose his bloodline ring only as a last resort .

Tang Wulin got up . His spiritual powers stirred as he instinctively connected to his storage space . Fortunately, although his soul power was suppressed, he managed to use his storage soul tool . He blended it with his spiritual power and soul power . His spiritual power consumption was higher than usual .

A light flashed . Two small hammers appeared in Tang Wulin's hands .

Concurrently, two daggers appeared in White Seven's hands . Obviously, she was also prepared .

When she glanced at the two Thousand Refined Heavy Silver Hammers unleashed by Tang Wulin, White Seven asked incredulously, "You're also a blacksmith?"

Tang Wulin nodded . "Of course! In Dragon Valley, it would be better if we had a mecha . Too bad . "

White Seven snorted, "Don't you wish? In this small world, you can't use a mecha even if you had one . The power source for a mecha is still soul power . Even the soul power batteries would be suppressed here . There seems to be a mechanism suppressing soul power in this small world . I've heard that whoever fully understands the dynamics of the small worlds will be able to alter the structure of the Continents' Soul Masters' realm . "

"Oh?" Tang Wulin queried, "Has anyone understood it then?"

White Seven shook her head . "Not yet . Soul Masters with five rings and above can't enter this space . It may be possible that these Soul Masters won't be suppressed in here, but will be rejected by the space instead, making them unable to enter this small world . It's not easy to study and understand the dynamics of a small world . Stop thinking and let's explore the area . It has been said that the fighters who stayed in Dragon Valley for a certain duration would feel as though they were born anew when they got out . "

Tang Wulin nodded . He wielded his Thousand Refined Heavy Silver Hammers in his hands and took the lead .

He had, only now, begun paying attention to his surroundings . They seemed to be in a hilly area . There was vegetation around them, but it was not lush . They stood atop a hill and gazed into the distance . However, they could not see far due to the mist .

In the unseen world, Tang Wulin was suddenly overcome with sadness . Even he himself was uncertain why such a feeling would arise, but he had the emotion nonetheless .

No animals were seen . The entire small world appeared tranquil . Tang Wulin surveyed his location before he commenced walking .

White Seven clasped her daggers as she followed behind him . They traversed several hills, finally, reaching an open space in the distance .

After they started their journey, Tang Wulin noticed a subtle difference in this world .

The gravity of this small world was slightly stronger than Star Luo Continent's . It was not much stronger, only about 0 . 5 times . That was why they did not feel it initially . However, as time went by, it became apparent .

After walking for about two hours, White Seven was gasping . With her four-ring Soul Master's physique, she would not be in such a state normally . On the other hand, Tang Wulin, with his gritty physique, was hardly affected .

"Shall we rest a while?" Tang Wulin turned to look at White Seven .

White Seven nodded .
