The Legend of the Dragon King - Chapter 772

Chapter 772: Wait For Me, Gu Yue!

'Gu Yue's departure was compelled by circumstances, otherwise, she would not be in so much pain . Senior Xu Mi'er was right, my inability to keep her was because I'm not powerful enough . '

He instinctively clenched the silver scale in his palm and felt its sharp edges . Tang Wulin took a deep breath . He would first set his mind on being more powerful .

'Gu Yue, wait for me . I'll surely accompany you as we go through whatever difficulty that lies before us . Wait for me to become powerful!'

At this point, Tang Wulin picked up his soul communicator and dialed a number .

"Xinglan, do you mind coming over to my place? At the same time, please tell everyone that there's no need to look for her anymore . We've searched wherever we could for the past few days . We'll never find her if she's avoiding us intentionally . "

…

She gazed into the distance where the white mist was vast and hazy .

Gu Yue stood over there quietly . She was on a platform suspended at a high altitude . Behind her was the Spirit Pagoda towering above all else .

This was the highest point of the Spirit Pagoda headquarters . It was known as the Cloudrise Platform .

She had been standing here for a very long time . Her right hand was placed before her chest all along with something in her palm .

"Even though it's very painful, why do I like this pain? Is this love?"

She had already regained her initial appearance with black hair and ebony eyes . She was wearing a long white dress . One could tell from the golden striations along the seams of her dress and the badge on her chest that she had been promoted to a very high rank within the Spirit Pagoda .

She slowly opened her palm . A shimmering golden piece of a diamond-shaped scale was in the middle of her palm . It was threaded with a fine golden chain . The pattern on the scale was striking with four overlapping layers . One side of the scale was concave making it appear like a tiny shield .

She hung it around her neck carefully, then pushed it along her collar into the spot that was closest to her body .

The direction that she was gazing at was the location of Shrek Academy .

"Why? Can't bear to part with it?" a gentle voice echoed behind her back .

Gu Yue turned around swiftly . Without even taking a look at the person, she saluted respectfully . "Teacher . "

Heavenly Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu walked slowly to her side . "Shrek is truly an attractive place . Since you've already chosen to leave, don't regret it . You're finding it hard to part with the academy, or is it someone?"

Gu Yue's body shuddered . "You know?"

Heavenly Phoenix Douluo smiled . "How can I not know? That was the Sea God Lake Date Festival! I was once…"

At this point, she paused . There was disappointment reflected on her charming face .

"I don't understand why chose to leave . He should be outstanding to be fancied by you . I've seen him before . He is truly an exceptional talent . You should try to talk him into joining us . "

Gu Yue smiled bitterly as she shook her head . "I don't wish to make things difficult for him . He's already with Tang Sect . If I had not left, I think the possibility of me joining Tang Sect because of him would be greater than the possibility of him joining us . You know my ambition . I won't be bogged down by love . "

There was a sense of approval in Heavenly Phoenix Douluo's eyes, but also sadness at the same time . "Child, you're shouldering a burden that's too heavy even for you . Although I'm gratified to witness all this, but you may never get a second chance when it comes to love . Moreover, your path has already been paved according to our plan . When you're standing at the continent's peak one day, perhaps you'll realize that there's a gap between you and him . By then, it'll be impossible for both of you to be together again . You're still young, Teacher will not reproach you if you choose to spend some time with him now . "

Gu Yue suddenly shook her head rapidly . "It's okay . Teacher, my heart is not as determined as you imagine . I'm afraid that it's going to be very difficult for me to make up my mind if I were to continue our relationship . "

Leng Yaozhu sighed . "Alright . Then, please carry out our plan . There are four opponents which you'll be facing . Each of them is a Spirit Pagoda genius . Defeat them and you'll become the number one successor in line for Spirit Pagoda's future Pagoda Master . Each time you lose, you'll drop a position in the succession line . In the weeks to follow, Teacher will put more pressure on you to elevate your potential . However, I believe that you're the best . After all, in the history of Spirit Pagoda, you're the only person whose spiritual power has reached the peak of spirit abyss before you're even twenty years old . Once you've achieved your breakthrough, your world will be boundless like the sea and heaven . You'll become a Title Douluo before you turn thirty for sure . "

…

"Thank you . " Tang Wulin stared at the pieces of battle armor shimmering with faint golden radiance on the console table before him as he expressed his heartfelt appreciation to Ye Xinglan .

His comrades were all by his side at present .

Not only Tang Wulin but the rest of his comrades had been dedicated to searching for Gu Yue in the past few days .

Xie Xie grabbed Tang Wulin's shoulder . "Big brother, don't be sad . There must be something very important Gu Yue had to attend to . She'll come back for sure . "

"Hmm . I know that she'll be back for sure . Thus, I'm going to make myself more powerful . Otherwise, how can I walk by her side if I'm far behind?" Tang Wulin's mouth cracked into a faint smile . At least in the eyes of his comrades, he appeared the same as before .

Yuanen Yehui was relieved . "You're always so strong and courageous as the battle progresses . This is where you're better than me . "

Ye Xinglan spoke, "I think that you'll need to condition yourself first before you perform the fusion . "

Tang Wulin shook his head . "There's no need . I'm not that fragile . If even the fusion of the one-word Battle Armor is difficult for me, then how am I still worthy to be your captain?"

The items that were placed on the console table was the entire set of one-word Battle Armor . These were all forged by Ye Xinglan personally over the years . All his battle armors had already been prepared and only lacked only in the fusion process .

When the battle armor was fused, he could finally become a one-word Battle Armor Master . This was once his long cherished goal . However, there was only a faint smile on his face and not excitement at this moment .

Tang Wulin first picked up his cuirass as he was speaking . The cuirass was the largest piece of battle armor and was the core battle armor . The cuirass was compact covered with a rectangular plate on each of its two sides . It was a one-piece design,and it felt extremely heavy in his hands .

Tang Wulin announced, "Please take a few steps back . "

The group of people hastily backed away so he could have some space .

In the next moment, they could see Tang Wulin's eyes brightened as intense golden radiance shot out of his eyes . Strong blood essence fluctuation flared up in a split second in a solid-like manner .

Xie Xie reacted most strongly to what was happening . He gave out a muffled snort while taking a step back subconsciously . His face turned pale as he fell to the ground . The battle armor inside his body was unleashed and covered his entire body swiftly . Only then did he regain his composure, but he could not help gasping in astonishment .

It was not only him, but the rest of the people reacted differently as well . They could only feel a gush of incomparably powerful force bursting forth from Tang Wulin's body abruptly . It had that incredible imposing force of a superior on an inferior . The sensation became more intense as the thick golden mist surged out from his body .

Yuanen Yehui and Ye Xinglan were in the best condition among them . They had only backed away a step while the others back-pedaled at least two steps .

The expression on everyone's face was one of shock .

After all, everyone on the scene had a cultivation base higher than Tang Wulin . They were all five-ring Soul King powerhouses and one-word Battle Armor Masters!

In spite of the disparity between their powers, the bloodline aura of Tang Wulin was capable of making them feel a strong and irresistible presence much to their surprise .
