"You're talking about the sisters, Heavenly Phoenix Douluo and Darkness Phoenix Douluo?" said Hu Jie with shock.
"Yeah! Remember how proud they were back then? They were known as the Legendary Twins. Those who admire them could form a queue all the way from the Spirit Pagoda to the Shrek Academy's gates in our days. However, both of them had fallen for Yun Ming, of all people. It became a tragedy in the end. The Heavenly Phoenix Douluo ended up becoming the Spirit Pagoda's deputy Pagoda Master while the Darkness Phoenix Douluo had become the Holy Spirit Cult's Darkness Phoenix. When Shrek Academy was destroyed, she was the one who took away Yun Ming's soul."
Hu Jie tightly knit his brows together."Affairs of the heart are always so troublesome. That's why it's better to stay single and unattached, like me. That'll save you a lot of trouble."
The Amorous Douluo could not help teasing him."Old Hu, if you don't manage your weight any time soon, I'm afraid that you'll have to stay single forever."
"Just go eat you food!"
...
Tang Wulin returned to his own room and peacefully sat on his bed. His eyes sparkled with energy as he blinked.
Battle of Five Gods! Regardless of who his opponent would be, he would be facing one hell of a battle.
He had been improving at too fast a pace these days. Under some lucky circumstances, he had broken through the Golden Dragon King's twelfth seal. He formed his Spirit Domain and had broken through to an eight-ringed Soul Douluo. These breakthroughs were something ordinary soul masters could only dream of. However, he had accomplished all of this in the span of a few months.
This had without a doubt greatly increased his own strength. However, this had also shaken his initial perfectly stable foundations. Also, he was not able to merge all these powers of his into one just yet.
Later, he had cultivated in the Body Sect's Innate Secret Technique. He slowly took note of all these improvements and changes through the tempering of his own body. He felt that he had somewhat gotten the hang of it. However, if this went on, he had no idea how long he had to take before he could organize himself.
The fight with the Smiley Face Douluo had given Tang Wulin many benefits. His understanding of the Millennium Cloud and time backtrack Domain had also deepened greatly. However, that was just a sparring session after all. It was not a fight to the death. Relatively speaking, the stimulation it provided him was not enough.
The Battle of Five Gods would consist of five matches. Tang Wulin naturally had no confidence in himself. However, these five matches would mean a great deal to him in a very positive way. In addition to that, Tang Sect had internally agreed, that their bottom line was actually far lower than what the Star Luo Empire had in mind for their current diplomatic mission. Hence, they could not let this opportunity slip.
After he decided to enter the Battle of Five Gods, Tang Wulin's spiritual will had been in an excited state. He could not recall when he last felt this level of excitement.
The modern Battle of Five Gods was different from the ones in ancient times. The Battle of Five Gods had been categorized by His Majesty Star Luo Empire's Emperor into mecha battle, battle armor battle, soul skill battle, weapon battle, and soul spirit battle.
Without a doubt, the most exciting battle would be the battle armor masters' battle. The other battles would also be different. Tang Wulin believed that the Star Luo Empire would have established rules for the battles. He had to understand the rules before planning any countermeasures.
When he thought about this, Tang Wulin quickly dialed Smiley Face Douluo's number.
"Hall Master Hu, can you ask for the timings of the battles from the Star Luo Empire's officials? Also, I'll need detailed rules of every battle in the Battle of Five Gods. It'll be helpful when I make my preparations. At the same time, I have a request for you to convey to the royal family."
"Just say it, Sect Master." Hu Jie could not help but felt his emotions boil when he heard Tang Wulin's steady voice. He too was once young and hot-blooded. The Battle of Five Gods, this was a battle that had not appeared for ten thousand years. He never expected to see it happen in Star Luo Empire.
"What I want to request is that no matter the outcome of the individual battles, I wish that all five battles would be carried on, " Tang Wulin said with a deep voice.
This match had more importance in tempering his body. Naturally, he did not wish that he could not participate in the other four battles after losing the first one. It would be far from his plans in that case. This request was not too big either. After all, the Battle of Five Gods was clearly the Star Luo Empire's way of bullying them. They would win by not doing anything.
"Alright, I'll tell them our request. There shouldn't be any problem with this condition."
Tang Wulin ended the call and sat cross-legged on his bed. He had to utilize every second he had to cultivate. Even a slight increase in his strength would be greatly beneficial for the Battle of Five Gods.
...
"What? Battle of Five Gods?" Dai Yun'er had been sprawled on her bed, crying hysterically. Even her tears stopped flowing when she heard those words. She abruptly sat up and looked at the crown prince. Her voice cracked as she asked, "How can they do this? It's the Battle of Five Gods! Isn't that something that should have only existed in the legends? How can one single person from another country best five experts in five different aspects of strength?"
"He had to undergo the Battle of Five Gods' test. That's what father has decided. The only thing that father had wanted was to limit the ages of the people from our side. However, father was angered when Tang Wulin rejected you today. He didn't mention anything about the limit." Dai Yueyan's rage had somewhat died down. Now, he was filled with more regret. This was because if his father had stuck to the initial limit of fifty years old and below, he might have had a chance to go up against Tang Wulin. The way things were, that did not seem to be a possibility anymore.
"How can he do this? This is clearly bullying! It's no help to the empire. How will people see us? We're going up against such a young Sect Master with such bullying methods. Will we be filled with glory even if we win?" Dai Yun'er said this as she was filled with righteous indignation.
Dai Yueyan's jaw dropped as he was left bug-eyed."Father is trying to stand up for you! Who's side are you on anyway? He just rejected you. My dear sister, you should wake up. He's not your husband."
"I'm only trying to be fair!" Dai Yun'er retorted. However, her beautiful face was already blushing.
Dai Yueyan smiled bitterly."It's too late to say anything now. Father's words are precious. Spoken words are like sprinkled water, there's nothing we can do to change them. Also, Tang Wulin's side has agreed to the terms. I'm really dumbfounded by his way of thinking. He clearly knows that he'll lose. Isn't he afraid of humiliating himself? He's representing the Tang Sect after all. As for the influence this issue might have, the royal family has already planned something. We only need to put some effort into our publicity so that the truth isn't announced to the outside world."
Dai Yun'er's breathing was slightly ragged. Her chest slightly rose and fell. However, her eyes implied that she was lost in thought.
"Brother, do you think that Tang Wulin can win a match or two?" she suddenly asked.
Dai Yueyan replied, "You really want him to win?"
Dai Yun'er lightly bit her lower lip and softly said, "Actually, I know that he has someone he loves. That's not the first time he's rejected me. I'm only thinking that if he can manage to win a match or two in the Battle of Five Gods, then it means that he really is a proud son of the heavens. If that's the case, do you think father will agree to me marrying him as his concubine?"
"What're talking about!?" Dai Yueyan looked at his younger sister with shock. He had never expected his eccentric little sister to say something like that.
"I think you're out of your mind!" A furious voice came from behind them. Dai Tianling strode in with a majestic gait.
Dai Yueyan respectfully addressed his father. Then, he stood at the side resembling a silent cicada in winter.
Dai Tianling furiously glared at Dai Yun'er."You little girl, have you no self-respect? Is becoming a concubine a thought that a princess like you should have? Also, whether it's in the empire or the Douluo Federation, monogamy is practiced. There's no place for a concubine.
