The Legend of the Dragon King - Chapter 846

Chapter 846: Love In My Heart

Tang Wulin was thoroughly confused when he said, "I didn't do anything! I was only meditating . I don't know what happened either . " He was genuinely unaware of the events . He did not even plan to inform them about what he had seen earlier either .

"Tell us about the process," Old Demon Blight spoke .

Tang Wulin's lips cracked into a cold smile . "Release me and my companions, and then maybe I'll consider telling you a little . "

The old demons were stunned for a moment . The fat elder spoke in a rage, "Brat, have you lost your mind?! Do you not know how to respect your seniors?"

Tang Wulin chuckled . "Respect my seniors? Correct me if I'm wrong, but you must be Old Demon Sloth, right?"

The group of old demons wwastaken aback by his words . The looks on their faces as they stared at Tang Wulin changed as well .

Old Demon Sloth spoke incredulously, "How did you know?"

Tang Wulin smiled triumphantly . "I made a guess . It seems like my guess is correct, huh?"

Tang Wulin spoke, "How can I not figure things out after I was under your influence for so many days? Please allow me to explain it for all of you . Ever since I was tormented in the beginning, especially by Old Demon Lust, I should have already passed the worst hardships . You told me before that all of you had once been the Shrek Seven Monsters . I didn't completely believe it, but I did take note of the number . Seven Monsters so, of course, there must be seven people . Five had already turned into Old Demons, so the other two should be no exception . "

Tang Wulin continued to speak as he stared at the fat old man, "Five Old Demons tormented us, while you're the sixth to appear . There's no doubt that you're an Old Demon too, yet you refused to reveal your title . Naturally, I had some suspicions . On the other hand, your story was logical, so I judged that the whole thing must have been true . You were all genuinely testing us while cultivating us at the same time . My guess was confirmed in the following months when all of you began to teach me so many new things, and I genuinely learned a lot . However, I never let my guard down .

"The first five Old Demons were joyously testing us with torture . Could it be that the sixth Demon would go easy on us? I couldn't confirm everything before I meditated . After all, you were each so good to me during those few months that I no longer felt hostile anymore . It wasn't until just now when I opened my eyes and saw all seven of you, seven Old Demons, that I abandoned all doubts that my guess was correct . There are genuinely seven of you . Given that, there had to be a reason for everything that Old Demon Sloth was doing before .

"The reason was that all of you were trying to numb me . The knowledge passed down to me was real, the story was real, so the only question was your identity . You're Old Demon Sloth, and everything that all of you were doing before was to make me complacent . In the end, when I finished learning and had gotten used to being lethargic, I would be completely at ease and, naturally, I'd be less vigilant . With that in mind, all of you provided me with the most comfortable living environment, the best food and an excuse to wait for my companions . All of this were meant to make me lazy . Perhaps all of you are hoping to see if I can still maintain my focus and continue to cultivate persistently under such circumstances . Am I right, Senior Old Demon Sloth?"

The group of old demons' expressions were rather peculiar as they listened to Tang Wulin's detailed analysis . Of course, Old Demon Sloth's expression was the most unpleasant of all .

"That's impossible . I had already sensed that your spirit was completely relaxed at the time, so was your entire person . Even the most diligent person can't stay focused after a year of torment and learning," Old Demon Sloth said in exasperation .

Tang Wulin shrugged . "You're right . I was genuinely relaxed at the time, because, I'm afraid, my spirit couldn't handle much more if I didn't let off some steam . However, I wasn't worried about becoming lazy no matter how easy I was taking it . That's because in my heart, there's always something guiding me so that I dare not slacken . "

Old Demon Sloth was stunned . "What's that?"

Tang Wulin looked toward Old Demon Lust . "Senior Lust should know that . There's love in my heart! I must grow more powerful for the one I love, so I'll be able to protect her . Thus, I can rest but only because I want to cultivate even better . As a result, I began to meditate . It seems like my guess was pretty accurate judging by the situation now . Many thanks for all the cultivation you've given me throughout this time . I wonder how I am going to be tested by the final senior Old Demon?"

His gaze fell upon the old demon standing before him which he had never met before with a faint smile on his face .

The old man smiled as he clapped his hands gently for Tang Wulin . "Very good . The academy made the right choice . A hero is nothing but a product of his time . Our Shrek produces great talents, as expected, right when the continent is about to go through some difficult moments . I'm highly gratified . I'm Greed . You can call me Old Demon Greed . "

Old Demon Greed! There were seven Old Demons as predicted . Moreover, these seven demons were more or less related to the seven deadly sins .

"So what are you going to test me on?" Tang Wulin asked .

Old Demon Greed smiled . "There's no need for that anymore . You've passed . You have a positive attitude, vigilance and an intelligent mind . Everything else that follows is already meaningless to you . Your Demon Island's special training has ended . Congratulations, your results put you at the top of the list . In the past five centuries, you're the most outstanding . "

Tang Wulin did not bother to ask about the person more outstanding than him five centuries ago . He became less tense after that .

Old Demon Greed spoke in all apparent seriousness, "However, we need you to tell us about the change in your body earlier that triggered the life and destruction tides simultaneously . We were baffled enough when the life tide began earlier, but it was utterly astonishing when the destruction tide appeared at the same time . The change can very possibly affect all the islands on Demon Archipelago . Thus, we need to know the truth . "

Tang Wulin sighed . "I'm sorry, seniors . Thanks to all your 'positive' training, I've learned not to trust anyone too soon . Because of this, I'm not sure if you're speaking the truth right now, so I can't tell you anything . "

Old Demon Greed was rendered speechless, along with the entire group of old demons . They felt like they had lifted a rock only to drop it on their feet .

Old Demon Blight spoke, "So how can we convince you to tell us?"

Tang Wulin spoke, "I'll tell you the moment my companions and I leave this place safely . Frankly, I don't know if I'm in a dream or reality now, because there have been too many experiences here that felt unreal . "

Old Demon Nightmare raised his brows . "Not bad . You're actually capable of observing that . So, alright, you'll be awakened from your dream first . "

He waved his hand at Tang Wulin as he spoke . All of a sudden, dizziness overwhelmed Tang Wulin, and he watched as his surroundings changed rapidly . The house had vanished, and the comfortable environment disappeared . After recovering from the nausea, he discovered that he was on firm ground . He was standing right at the same place in the mountain valley where he had arrived at the beginning . He saw his companions nearby .

Ye Xinglan, Yuanen Yehui, Xu Lizhi, Yue Zhengu, Xu Xiaoyan and Xie Xie were all there, but they were each doing different actions . Some of them were leaping about while some of them were sitting cross legged with different expressions on their faces .

"Are they immersed in an illusion?" Tang Wulin asked in surprise .

Old Demon Nightmare spoke, "It can be real and it can be an illusion . What is reality and what isn't?"
