Douluo: When Tang Wulin Met Little Huo Niang

Chapter 536 Xingluo Continent (6k)

Just like ten thousand years ago, the capital of the Xingluo Empire is still called Xingluo City.

Star Luo City is vast in area, but it has city walls that are very rare in Douluo Continent. It looks more like a city from ancient times.

There are also various soul-guided weapons on the city wall as a defense system, which further shows the unrest in the Star Luo Empire.

However, once you enter the city, a familiar feeling emerges.

The streets were filled with bustling crowds of people. Apart from the architectural style and people's clothing being slightly different from those on the Douluo Continent, there was no major difference.

At this time, three guests arrived at the imperial palace of Xingluo City.

Dai Tianling looked at Tang Wulin and the woman beside Huo Yutong with some doubt, and asked Tang Wulin:
"Who is this lady?"

Tang Wulin looked at Ling Zichen helplessly and found that she looked aloof and obviously did not intend to explain, so he said to Dai Tianling:

"Her name is Ling Zichen, and she is a top talent in the field of Tang Sect's soul guidance technology. Hmm... just understand her as the second-in-command of Tang Sect's research-type soul guidance teacher."

Tang Wulin himself was actually not very willing to bring Ling Zichen here, but she insisted on doing so. Finally, after asking Zang Xin's opinion, Tang Wulin agreed to bring her to Xingluo Continent.

However, he also made an agreement with her that after arriving at Xingluo Continent, she must obey his command in everything. If she dared to mess around, Huo Yutong would quit the project team she was in charge of.

As far as Tang Wulin knew, although Ling Zichen's personality was weird and crazy, she could at least be trusted to keep her word, so there was no need to worry too much about her getting into trouble.

As for her safety... you must be kidding. Even Enci, the strongest man in the Xingluo Empire, is only a level 98 Super Douluo. There is almost no one on this continent who can threaten her life. Even if she really encounters an invincible enemy, she can hold on until Tang Wulin arrives.

After hearing Tang Wulin's introduction, Dai Tianling's eyes suddenly lit up.

He immediately revealed an earnest smile and said to Ling Zichen:
"I am mistaken. May I ask what brings Ms. Ling to our Xing Luo Empire this time?"

Logically, he should have only asked Li Lie to notify Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong to come, but there was an extra person, Ling Zichen, among the people who came. Based on his understanding of Tang Wulin, he should not have brought her here, so it should be the wish of the second-in-command of the Tang Clan's Soul Guidance Department.

After listening to Tang Wulin's introduction, Dai Tianling no longer looked down on Ling Zichen.

This is the second in command of the Tang Clan's Soul Guidance Department. The Tang Clan's research in the field of soul guidance is almost the strongest in the world. Even the Sun-Moon Federation may not dare to say that they can definitely surpass the Tang Clan in the field of soul guidance devices.

Who is the second strongest force of the Tang Sect? Anyone who has some knowledge knows that it is the Amorous Douluo Zang Xin. However, Zang Xin is only a demigod-level Extreme Douluo. Although there are not many strong people of this level in the current continent, it is difficult for them to enter the top ten in the world.

But research talents of Ling Zichen's level are different. Her level may even be among the top three or five in the world. From this perspective, talents of her level are even rarer than Zang Xin, the deputy leader of the Tang Sect.

Not to mention that with the development of soul guide technology, the power of soul masters is now unable to suppress soul guide devices. If Ling Zichen fully exerts her talents in the field of soul guide, the destructive power she generates will far exceed that of an ordinary Extreme Douluo.

Ling Zichen said coldly:

"Don't think about it. I have nothing to do here. It's just that Tang Wulin took our director of soul guidance research away. Without her, our research can't continue, so I just followed him."

"So this is ah."

Dai Tianling ignored Ling Zichen's impatient and disrespectful tone and nodded with interest.

"Do you need me to provide you with a place to conduct research?"

Dai Tianling had long known that Lingbing Douluo in history was a genius soul guide, but he did not expect that without Huo Yutong, the research could not proceed.

It seems that his evaluation of Huo Yutong in the field of soul guidance needs to be raised further.

Ling Zichen shrugged and shook his head:

"No need. Soul guide facilities are different. If I use your research equipment casually, problems may arise. It's only a few days anyway. I can just focus on theoretical research these days."

"Ok."

After this round of conversation, Dai Tianling had a preliminary understanding of Ling Zichen's personality.

I'm afraid this person is a typical fanatical researcher.

As the emperor of the Xingluo Empire, Dai Tianling has seen this type of talent many times, not necessarily in the field of soul guides, but in all walks of life.

Perhaps no matter what field, people who regard their hobbies as a lifelong pursuit are the easiest to stand out.

For this reason, Dai Tianling only exchanged a few words with Ling Zichen and basically gave up the idea of ​​poaching her from the Tang Sect.

The reason is simple. If you want to hire such talents, you basically need to offer conditions that will attract the other party.

As for the hardware conditions of the Xingluo Empire in the field of soul guides... it can only be said that it is quite powerful compared with other major forces, but it is still not as good as the Tang Sect, which is the best in the world in soul guides.

Judging from Ling Zichen's expression, she didn't seem like someone who would be interested in the Xing Luo Empire's technology.

So after finishing his greetings to Ling Zichen, Dai Tianling turned his attention back to Tang Wulin.

"You should have heard the general situation from Li Lie, right?"

"Ah."

Tang Wulin nodded and asked curiously:
"But why did you ask me to bring Yutong with me this time? I alone can be enough."

As the current strongest man on the continent, he has the confidence to defeat any enemy.

In response to his question, Dai Tianling's expression suddenly became much more serious.

"Because when we explored the specific location of the Green Skeleton's lair, we also found some traces. Through these traces, we have reason to suspect that there are evil soul masters in their lair, and their strength is at least at the Super Douluo level. It is not completely impossible that they are even Ultimate Douluo."

"...An evil soul master at the Super Douluo or even Ultimate Douluo level?"

Hearing his words, Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong's expressions suddenly became serious. Only Ling Zichen still had an indifferent expression. It was unknown whether she realized the seriousness of the matter.

Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong still have a say in this level of evil soul masters.

After all, ten thousand years ago, they personally killed an evil soul master of the Extreme Douluo level, and that was Ye Xishui.

Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong were both impressed by the Death Douluo Ye Xishui.

As a veteran Extreme Douluo, and also someone who is extremely close to a level 10 Soul Master, Ye Xishui's combat power is probably one of the most powerful even among quasi-gods.

But her strength seemed to be nothing compared to her outrageous ability to save her life.

With the blessing of the Blood Soul Technique, she almost has twelve chances to resurrect. Coupled with the nirvana talent that comes with the Bright Phoenix Martial Soul, Ye Xishui can even be said to have a full fourteen lives.

Even when Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong joined forces, they were unable to get rid of her in one go. Even if Huo Yutong had not decisively used the Divine Descent Technique during the second battle, using the ability of the Death Descent, which had an absolute restraining effect on Ye Xishui, to suppress her, she might have been able to escape again.

Most other evil soul masters also have the ability to save their lives that she possesses, but their abilities are not as strong as hers.

For example, the messenger of death in the past almost escaped from Xuanzi by relying on his corpse explosion and mist-transforming abilities.

For example, Zhongli Wu. It is said that it took a lot of effort for those Titled Douluo to capture him.

As for the evil soul masters of this era, although Tang Wulin had not encountered many of them head-on, he had heard many related rumors in the past three years.

There were no less than five powerful evil soul masters who were defeated and killed by Yun Ming but reappeared again, which shows how strong their ability to preserve their lives is.

However, if we think about it from another perspective, it can actually be understood that if these evil soul masters did not have such a strong ability to protect their lives, they might not be able to live to fully grow up.

In any case, if the Green Skull Headquarters really had an evil soul master of this level, then it would be understandable why Dai Tianling asked Tang Wulin to bring Huo Yutong with him.

Although Dai Tianling is also a powerful soul master, the gap between him and the Ultimate Douluo level is still too big, and he has no clear idea of ​​how strong Tang Wulin is.

In his opinion, Yun Ming, the strongest man in the continent, had been defeated by evil soul masters many times and escaped, so the new strongest man, Tang Wulin, might make the same mistake.

To be on the safe side, it would be better to have two people come together.

After understanding why Dai Tianling asked two people to come together, Tang Wulin understood and asked:

"Is there any information about the type of abilities that evil soul master has?"

In fact, when dealing with evil soul masters, Huo Yutong's Undead Mage spirit is very effective most of the time, especially when dealing with beings like Ye Xishui or Zhongli Wu who play with souls.

But there are times when it doesn't work well. The simplest example is the holder of the brain-eating beast spirit at the Second Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition.

To deal with the holder of this martial soul, undead magic and sacred attributes are of little use, and he must be crushed by strength.

Tang Wulin hoped that the evil soul master he faced this time would be the type of Ye Xishui, which would make things much easier.

Dai Tianling's face turned heavy.

"At present, we have speculated through various clues that the evil soul master's ability is most likely related to the curse. In the worst case scenario, we may face the dark blood demon this time."

"I see."

Tang Wulin finally understood why Dai Tianling said that the evil soul master might have the cultivation level of Extreme Douluo.

Currently, the only ones in the Holy Spirit Church who are clearly known to have the cultivation level of Ultimate Douluo are the highest-ranking Emperor and Two Emperors. As for the cultivation levels of the Four Heavenly Kings below them, that is still debatable.

The four heavenly kings are the Dark Blood Demon, Dark Hummingbird, Dark Bell, and Dark Phoenix. The last three are all Super Douluo-level evil soul masters. Only the Dark Blood Demon's whereabouts are elusive and he rarely appears in front of people, so his cultivation level cannot be clearly judged.

The Dark Blood Demon was nicknamed Blood Curse, and his name was the Blood Demon. About forty years ago, he was already a Super Douluo of level 97. He was a particularly evil existence among the evil soul masters. He used the blood essence of others to cultivate his own magic skills. Every time he cultivated, he needed hundreds of lives. His cultivation was very strange.

His most famous ability is called Blood Demon Curse, which is used to control blood servants. For every person he wants to control, he will absorb a drop of their blood, leaving a mark on them. Even if they are thousands of miles apart, he can control their life and death in an instant as long as he wants. It is weird and evil.

After so many years, he is most likely now a Limit Douluo or close to the Limit Douluo's strength.

However, after hearing that the opponent might be him, Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong's expressions became much calmer.

It’s hard to say about others, but if it were him, Huo Yutong would have ten thousand ways to kill him completely.

As a being who calls himself the Holy God of the Dead, Alex's expertise is actually biased, and what he is best at in necromancy is commanding the undead and casting curses.

Even now, Huo Yutong did not dare to say that he had fully mastered the mysteries of these two realms, but at least he would have no problem dealing with the Dark Blood Demon, a guy who might not even be a Limit Douluo. Seeing their confident expressions, Dai Tianling raised his eyebrows and said playfully:

"It seems like you are very confident. Do you have a way to deal with him?"

"Well, leave it to us."

"That's good. Wait a moment."

Dai Tianling laughed cheerfully, took out the soul guide communicator, and pressed a few buttons on it at random.

Then, less than three minutes later, several people came into the room.

Tang Wulin glanced at them and saw through their cultivation levels at a glance.

Among the six people, four are Titled Douluo and two are Super Douluo. Considering the situation of the Star Luo Empire, this is already considered to be top-notch combat power.

Moreover, Tang Wulin knew four of them. In the past three years, Tang Wulin had forged four-character battle armor for them at the invitation of the Xing Luo Empire.

If they put on the four-character battle armor forged by Tang Wulin, even if they were only Titled Douluo and the Dark Blood Demon was an Ultimate Douluo, they would be able to defeat the Dark Blood Demon by leaps and bounds if they joined forces.

Dai Tianling introduced:

"These are the protectors of our Xing Luo Empire. Most of the work of this operation will be carried out by them. Your Excellencies will just be responsible for the bottom line."

"What do you mean?"

Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Dai Tianling meant.

Dai Tianling smiled and said:

"What this means is that you two Excellencies only need to deal with the powerful enemies that they cannot defeat. As for other matters, please do not worry about them."

Tang Wulin narrowed his eyes slightly and realized what Dai Tianling meant.

He nodded slowly.

"Okay, I see."

To put Dai Tianling's words into plain language, it means that Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong should just be thugs and not get involved in anything other than fighting.

After all, this is not an ordinary competition or contest, but a war of redress, which is strictly speaking an internal affair of the Star Luo Empire.

No matter which country it is, internal affairs are not allowed to be interfered with. If Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong would interfere in their internal affairs, Dai Tianling might be willing to let them not participate in this operation.

After getting a positive answer, Dai Tianling's expression suddenly relaxed a lot. He took out the remote control and pressed the projector hanging on the wall. Suddenly, a map was projected on it.

On this map, there is a small red dot.

Dai Tianling said:
"According to the intelligence we have obtained, the Green Skull Organization got an ownerless small world from somewhere and successfully occupied it, turning it into their lair. Their most elite members are all in it. As long as they take over this small world, they will never be able to turn the tables."

Having said that, Dai Tianling looked at Tang Wulin.

"Your Excellency Dragon King, do you have a way to seal off the space of this small world so that they cannot escape after the war begins?"

For the Xingluo Empire, which has many small world resources, it doesn’t matter what happens to this small world, but if the Green Skeleton’s top combat force escapes, that would be a real headache.

Tang Wulin smiled slightly.

"a piece of cake."

The space blockade he set up was so huge that not even Emperor Tian could break through it, let alone the rebels who didn't even have the Ultimate Douluo.

"That's good."

Dai Tianling breathed a sigh of relief again.

Now that these rebels have no way to escape, things will be much easier.

He cast a gentle gaze towards Ling Zichen, who had been silent, and asked:

"Ms. Ling, please wait for a while. Do you need me to arrange a room for you?"

The result was beyond his expectations. Ling Zichen said disdainfully:
"No need, I'll go too."

"This……"

Not only was Dai Tianling in trouble, but even several of the Xingluo Empire's national guardians were frowning secretly.

One of the old men said in a deep voice:
"Madam, please understand that we are not going to play around. We are going to participate in a real war. His Majesty is also concerned about your safety."

They were all unable to sense the presence of soul power from Ling Zichen. There were only two possibilities for this situation. Either she was really an ordinary person, or her cultivation was so high that they could not see through it at all.

With just a little thought, you can understand that the latter is almost impossible.

With their cultivation level, even an ordinary Extreme Douluo would not be able to easily hide his cultivation level in front of them. Only a quasi-god-level strongman could do it.

But how could a quasi-god level person be born so easily? Even the chief and deputy chiefs of the Tang Sect were only demigod level Limit Douluo. As their subordinate, Ling Zichen could not possibly have the strength of a quasi-god level.

In other words, she is really just an ordinary person.

Wouldn't it be a complete disruption for ordinary people to participate in a war of this magnitude?

Ling Zichen glanced at the offerings, sneered, opened his mouth slightly, and was about to say something, but was suddenly covered by a hand.

"Ohh Ohh ohh!"

Several priests looked at Ling Zichen, who was whimpering and yelling with his mouth covered by Tang Wulin, in confusion, not understanding what the two of them were doing.

Tang Wulin said viciously through voice transmission:

"Just be quiet! Don't forget what we agreed on before we set off!"

"!"

Ling Zichen's body shook, and he immediately calmed down and stopped struggling.

Tang Wulin then breathed a sigh of relief and released his hand that was blocking her mouth.

Huo Yutong watched this scene with a wry smile. To be honest, if Tang Wulin had not taken action first, she would have also tried to stop Ling Zichen.

They both knew Ling Zichen's character very well, so they could guess what she wanted to say just now.

She probably meant to say something like "None of you here can beat me."

Regardless of whether this statement is right or wrong, this statement itself is very problematic and can easily lead to disputes and may even turn into a competition.

It would be fine if Ling Zichen lost, as it would just make her seem ignorant of her own limitations.

But if she wins, these patriots will really be embarrassed.

I can't even beat an ordinary person without soul power. It's so embarrassing to tell others about it.

They didn't want to make their companions unhappy before the action began.

Tang Wulin said to Dai Tianling:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Yutong and I are watching her. She is absolutely safe."

He had no objection to letting Ling Zichen join the operation, not because he was worried about Ling Zichen's safety, but because he was worried about the safety of the residents of Xingluo City.

It would be bad if he wasn't watching Ling Zichen, and this guy got into trouble.

Anyway, as a god-level mecha master, she will have no problem protecting herself, so just follow her.

"OK then."

Dai Tianling was still a little worried, but since Tang Wulin said so, he couldn't refuse.

He said:
"In short, please deal with all the powerful people above the Title Douluo level, and the rest will be left to the priests. Let's set off now."

"it is good."

After receiving the order to set off, Tang Wulin did not delay. He waved his hand, and the scenery in front of everyone's eyes suddenly changed, and they arrived at the location marked on the map.

Before the Titled Douluo could be surprised, Tang Wulin suddenly spread his golden and silver wings. Following a burst of explosions, a vortex appeared in front of everyone.

He gestured to the stunned worshippers and said with a smile:

"Let's go. As long as we enter this vortex, we can enter the target's small world."

After coming to this place, he felt the small world that existed here through the ability of the Space Dragon King.

I just didn't expect it to be so easy to open. It seems that the Green Skull's people often come here.

The priests of the Xing Luo Empire looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

When they were planning this operation, Dai Tianling told them that they didn't need to worry about how to enter the small world. They thought at the time that he had some new technology.

I didn’t expect that it was actually relying on Tang Wulin’s own strength.

Impressed at Tang Wulin's power, they all entered the space vortex.

Tang Wulin, Huo Yutong and Ling Zichen followed behind them.
