The Legend of the Dragon King
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Aided by his Golden Dragon King bloodline, the speed at which Dai Yunâer absorbed the dragon soul was greatly increased, as Tang Wulin unintentionally discovered. With the help of his bloodline aura, the low-level dragon souls disintegrated obediently and fused with Dai Yunâer after being purified.
With her body strengthened, Dai Yunâerâs entire petite frame seemed to be much livelier. She was not so easily exhausted anymore, nor did she have any need to eat.
After half an hour, Dai Yunâer leaped from the ground. She had reached a full four or five meters up before slowly floating down like a falling leaf.
Even though she did not have the support of her soul power, she could still leap that high. It was purely physical prowess!
âAmazing, amazing! Brother Three, youâre amazing!â Dai Yunâer suddenly pounced on Tang Wulin and landed a kiss on his mask. He was so frightened that he took a few steps back.
âLetâs go,â said Tang Wulin with slight helplessness.
Dai Yunâer pulled on his arm and said with a face full of smiles, âBrother Three, youâre too good to me. My teacher once told me that if I wanted to cultivate to the rank of Title Douluo in the future, I must focus on improving my bodyâs physical strength. Because only with a tough body could I bear the immense soul power and the subsequent compressed soul power. I have a twin martial soul, but they are of the agility system and the spirit system. They do not do much to improve my body. My teacher had also told me that if I relied solely on heaven-and-earth treasures to improve my body, it would render my foundation unstable. I wasnât willing to give up, which is why I trained so hard. Iâve been working diligently for all these years, yet my progress wasnât as great compared to the gains of these past few days! I was truly wrong about you before this. If I knew that you were such a nice person earlier, I would have most certainly allowed you to sleep inside the room.â
Tang Wulin coughed. He pulled his arm from her embrace and left no trace. âYunâer, itâs improper for a man and a woman to touch in passing. You must be mindful of this!â
Dai Yunâer smiled. âWhat are you afraid of? Iâm not married yet anyway. Speaking of that, itâs all so troublesome. My participation in this Battle Soul Hall operation was forced upon me by my father, the emperor. He insisted that I find him a son-in-law after this yearâs Continental Young High-Ranking Soul Masters Elite Competition ended. He initially intended to matchmake me with big brother Long. Do you know big brother Long?â
Tang Wulinâs heart skipped. âYouâre referring to the one from Monster Academy right? The Dragon King?â
Dai Yunâer giggled. âThatâs right! Everyone calls him Madman Long. Even my fourth brother said that big brother Long has always been fond of me.â
âWhat about you? Do you like him?â asked Tang Wulin.
Dai Yunâer said pointedly, âIdiot. If I liked him, would I run away?â
When she said this, her expression suddenly turned gloomy. âI know that big brother Long is very good to me. Heâs so powerful. Heâs known as the greatest genius of the younger generation, and heâs already a six-ringed Soul Emperor at only twenty years old! Thereâs no one among the younger generation that can best him. Heâs especially good to me, and I can also feel the affection he has for me. But Iâm a little afraid of him.â
âHeâs always giving off a mad aura without noticing, and it scares me. If I somehow really ended up being with him, he might kill me with a single slap. Itâs because of this fear I have that I cannot seem to bring myself to like him. Thatâs why Iâve always looked at him as a big brother in my heart.â
âYou donât have to marry him if you donât like him. In our Federation, we completely advocate the freedom to love. Nobody can interfere with anyone in this matter,â said Tang Wulin.
Dai Yunâer said, âBut we canât! Iâm a princess. According to the rules of the royal family, a princess must be engaged when she turns fifteen and get married when sheâs eighteen. This is the rule of the royal family. So even though Iâve run away this time, once I get back, I reckon that father emperor will still be forcing this on me. Still, I am lucky, at least I have the right to choose. Father emperor said that as long as itâs a person that I like, he wouldnât mind who that person was. But I must stick to the royal familyâs rules. He wonât compromise on my age.â
Tang Wulin said, âThat sounds great! Donât you have anyone that you like?â
Dai Yunâer was instantly stunned. A figure flashed across her mind. She suddenly said angrily, âNo, no.â
Tang Wulin was astonished. âIs it normal for girls to have such a huge change in mood when their relationships are brought up? Gu Yue was like this and so is Dai Yunâer.â
Dai Yunâer shook her head. She tried very hard to purge that figure from her mind, âLetâs not talk about this. Brother Three, youâre such a wonderful man, you must have a girlfriend already, no?â
Tang Wulin shook his head, âI donât. I think I had one originally, but she seems to think that Iâm no longer good enough now. Besides, I feel that she had an ulterior motive for getting close to me before this.â
Dai Yunâer had the looks of a gossip. âTell me, tell me. What happened?â
Tang Wulin sighed softly and said, âBack then, we entered the academy to study together and cultivate together. Naturally, weâve always been close. Over time, Iâd gotten used to having her around. If she was around, Iâd always feel happy. During that time we were both still young, and I wasnât sure what that kind of feeling was. But as time goes by, gradually, this feeling seemed to have changed. Her temper started becoming peculiar, and she maintained a lukewarm relationship with me. Recently, she seemed to deeply dislike me. She even made me feel that she had an ulterior for getting close to me back then. I think it has something to do with our martial souls.â
Dai Yunâer frowned. âThatâs complicated! Actually, I think that youâre thinking too much. You only have to tell me if you like her or not.â
Tang Wulin was slightly stunned. After a while, he nodded.
Dai Yunâer smiled, âIsnât that all that matters? If you like her, then go pursue her. Why do you care what she thinks? Have you ever told her how you feel? I think that everything can be changed. Isnât love all about flinging caution to the wind?â
Tang Wulin laughed hysterically. âYou seem to know a lot about these matters.â
Dai Yunâer said triumphantly, âIâm sure I know more than you. Letâs go. I hope I can encounter some powerful dragon souls. Brother Three, do you really not want to absorb any dragon souls?â
âItâs alright. They donât seem to do much for me,â Tang Wulin replied.
The two of them continued to walk toward the depths of the forest. It was strange when they thought about it. Nowhere along the way did they meet a fighter who had entered into this dimension at the same time as them. There seemed to be a profound mystery of the small world at work here. As for the specifics, even Tang Wulin did not know about them.
âBoom!â Tang Wulinâs hammers slammed fiercely onto the skull of the red Armored Land Dragon in front of him and smashed it into the ground. With the stunning effect of his bloodline aura, he forcibly shook it until it turned into energy, which he directed toward Dai Yunâer.
âWow, what a thick and strong dragon soul.â After Dai Yunâer absorbed it, she immediately felt as if her entire body was stuffed.
âBrother Three, weâve been walking for so long. Are you sure weâre on the right path?â Dai Yunâer asked Tang Wulin.
Tang Wulin nodded without hesitation and said, âAt first I wasnât, but now I can be certain. Did you notice that along the way, the strength of the dragon souls we encountered was increasing? Based on my logical deduction, the dragon soul which guards the dragon graveyard must be the strongest. Then, the weak little dragon souls which we had encountered at first mustâve been from the periphery of Dragon Valley. And the stronger the dragon souls get, the closer we are to the central region of Dragon Valley.â
âYou sound like you have a point.â Dai Yunâerâs eyes beamed. âBut itâs becoming more and more difficult for us to fight these dragon souls. Brother Three, if we encounter any powerful dragon souls, we donât have to push ourselves too hard. Iâve already absorbed so many dragon souls. I daresay that among the fighters who have entered here in the past, there arenât many who can be compared to me. Iâm already satisfied. In the case that weâre faced with danger, weâll use the dragonballs to run away.â
Tang Wulin grunted in reply, but in his heart, he was longing to go and have a look at the dragon graveyard. He did not display his bloodline soul ring before Dai Yunâer before this, because he feared that he would be found out by her. Hence, he was well within his limits while he fought the dragon souls which they had encountered up until now.
