novelThe Opponent For The First Round
| ← Ch.1968 | Ch.1970 → |
The Light Dark Douluo Long Yeyue said in a deep voice, "This is a normal situation. The soul beasts have absolute superiority now, so the terms proposed can't be easily agreed upon naturally."Chen Xinjie said, "She's not sincere at all when she proposed the terms. It's still possible to fulfill the first two terms, but the rest of the terms are hardly acceptable. It seems like the battle is inevitable. Let's prepare to fight the battle then."
His status in the military was unparalleled. The supreme commander of the three current armies was the Boundless Sea Douluo. Fortunately, he was around to take command of the armies.
However, there was a saying: 'one can't make bricks without straw'. He did not have the powerhouses from the War God Hall with him. In fact, he did not even have a single high-ranking military officer. Hence, it would be rather difficult to command the troops.
Mo Lan asked with a forced smile, "Do we really stand a chance if the battle were to take place? I don't think we stand a chance for the time being. Wulin, you should leave. You're the only person who can bring hope for the future, " Mo Lan suddenly told Tang Wulin.
When Gu Yuena proposed those terms earlier, Mo Lan knew that even the Parliament could not possibly agree to the terms if she had discussed it with the Parliament using the soul communicator. Those terms were utterly aimed at letting the soul beasts slaughter mankind!
Tang Wulin shook his head."How can I leave? The opportunity is right before our eyes. I've figured it out. Sister, please promise me one thing."
Mo Lan was stunned for a moment."What is it?"
Tang Wulin said, "Whether I succeed by luck or die in battle, let's try to fulfill the first two terms which she proposed earlier. The Douluo Continent has sufficient life force now. If the soul beasts' world can be revived, it'll be a good thing for the continent too. Rebuilding the Great Star Dou Forest is a better way to recover the Douluo Continent's life force. We can rely on the regeneration of the life force on the continent. I believe we can rebuild the Great Star Dou Forest. After all, the Great Star Dou Forest is very close to Shrek City. So long as the Spirit Pagoda's headquarters can be removed, I believe that the Great Star Dou Forest will regain its former scale in less than a century based on the growth rate of the plants now."
"Brother, what are you going to do?" Mo Lan did not listen closely to Tang Wulin's request, but she could tell from his choice of words that he was resolute.
Tang Wulin smiled calmly."I'm the only person who can possibly solve the situation. Sister, you're the federal parliament's speaker. I believe that you can do it."
Upon saying that, a golden radiance shimmered on Tang Wulin. He leaped up and flew toward the soul beasts.
The four great Limit Douluos gazed into the eyes of one another. They could see the solemness in each other's eyes. Four of them flew in pursuit of Tang Wulin.
Mo Lan frowned deeply. She felt restless in her heart. Although she had no idea what Tang Wulin was about to do, Tang Wulin's words earlier were uttered with determination. The calmer he sounded, the more it revealed the determination in his heart.
The numerous beasts assumed battle formation immediately upon seeing the arrival of the five people, Tang Wulin included. At the same time, Da Ming and Er Ming's gazes turned complicated as well.
Da Ming turned his head to the side to look toward Gu Yuena and said in a deep voice, "If it's down to Wulin, we won't help out."
Gu Yuena did not even bother to look at him. She only nodded."Alright."
The two parties approached one another. Gu Yuena found it rather surprising that Tang Wulin was still dressed in the ceremonial suit that he wore to propose to her the other day. He looked just as handsome and graceful as before.
She lowered her head subconsciously and took a glance at her left hand. The dark blue ring was wrapped around her ring finger. She had not removed it ever since he put it on for her the other day.
"Stop!" Di Tian shouted aloud at Tang Wulin to tell him to stop advancing.
Tang Wulin stopped moving when he was about a hundred meters away from the soul beasts. Even though there were only five of them, Di Tian felt the intense pressure exerted by Tang Wulin's presence despite his cultivation base.
Tang Wulin's gaze swept past the soul masters with blank stares, then the numerous beasts before finally stopping at Gu Yuena's face.
"Your Excellency Silver Dragon King, you and I are the most powerful fighting forces. Even if war is initiated, the final result will still be decided based on the collision between you and I. Since that'll be the case, why forsake the others to cause them misery and suffering? Let's engage in a decisive battle. I challenge you to a fight."
Gu Yuena's body shook once in a manner that was barely discernible. She looked at Tang Wulin with an icy cold expression."You want to challenge me? Why should I accept your challenge despite my side having absolute superiority?"
Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment. He did not expect Gu Yuena to speak in such a manner.
His gaze surveyed the beasts around Gu Yuena. He said coldly."I believe that no one here is capable of stopping me if I were to challenge you."
Gu Yuena grunted once."Really? If that's the case, let's have a wager."
"A bet?" Tang Wulin looked astonished. It was his first time hearing Gu Yuena uttering the word. For as long as he could remember, Gu Yuena was not a person who gambled. In fact, she even detested it.
Gu Yuena said indifferently, "You, too, heard the five terms I proposed earlier. I'm going to give you a chance. You shall fight alone while my side will send out three rounds of powerhouses to fight against you. With each round that you win, we'll remove one term."
Tang Wulin's eyes lit up. Even if Gu Yuena were to take her place in the final round, he would stand a chance to achieve victory in the first two rounds, at the very least. From his view, no one from the opposing side was capable of stopping him other than Gu Yuena.
"Don't, Your Highness. This..."
"Clap!"
Di Tian had just spoken when he was immediately blasted out of sight by a silver dragon claw's slap.
The Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena's eyes were glowing with overbearingness. She said coldly, "Does anybody wish to question my decision still?"
A terrifying divine consciousness bloomed instantly. Almost every living being on the scene felt their body sink except Tang Wulin. Their bodies sank ten meters deep. Da Ming and Er Ming were no exception.
Da Ming and Er Ming gazed into the eyes of one another. They could not help expressing their astonishment. They were well aware that Gu Yuena was very powerful and had, perhaps, achieved the original God rank. Yet, they did not expect her to be powerful to this extent.
Her divine consciousness obviously surpassed the power of the abyssal Sage King in the past! Apparently, her Silver Dragon King had awakened fully. She might still be suppressed by the plane to a certain extent, but the suppression could not overpower her. Perhaps, she could even struggle free from the plane's suppression.
Gu Yuena was different from Mo Lan. Although Mo Lan was a leader of mankind, she could not make all the decisions. On the other hand, Gu Yuena was the true god of all the beasts. Her decision was akin to a decree for the soul beasts.
Di Tian had queried her on multiple occasions. Finally, Gu Yuena had an emotional outburst. He could not dodge Gu Yuena's slap despite his cultivation base which was close to a million-year soul beast that could surpass Chen Xinjie even. He was blasted away by the impact.
If this was the case with Di Tian, who else had the courage to question the Silver Dragon Princess?
All the beasts lowered their heads in fear. They did not think that Gu Yuena would show them mercy, since that was how Her Highness had behaved upon her return!
Tang Wulin's expression did not change at all."I agree to the challenge of three rounds. Shall we begin now?"
Gu Yuena said calmly, "Let's do it now then. Your opponent for the first round will be..."
At this point, she paused for a moment. Her gaze did not shift to the beasts on her side. Instead, she looked toward mankind's soul masters on her side whose divine consciousness were being controlled by her.
"Ye Xinglan, Yuanen Yehui, Xie Xie, Xu Lizhi, Yue Zhengyu, Xu Xiaoyan, A Ruheng, and Sima Jinchi. Take part in the first round."
As soon as those words were spoken, Tang Wulin's expression changed drastically. The way he looked at Gu Yuena changed as well.
"Gu Yue, you..."
Gu Yuena raised her chin ever so slightly and said in an arrogant manner, "Why? Are you scared?"
