Hu Jie deeply frowned. “Are you really going to accept the bet? The Star Luo Empire will certainly propagate this event such that everyone will find out about this competition. It’s not bad to lose this competition at your age, but I’m afraid losing this competition might leave behind a psychological wound on you and it may affect you in the future. It’s not worth it anymore to risk that.”
Tang Wulin looked at Smiley Face Douluo in apparent seriousness. “When I was ten years old, I saved enough money to buy my first spirit soul with great effort and finally cultivated to rank-10 soul power. I was definitely not some genius at that time and I only had the most ordinary Bluesilver Grass as martial soul. However, I still had hope.”
“When I went to Spirit Pagoda to purchase my spirit soul, I was told that my money was enough for only one draw. I didn’t have any heaven-defying luck or rather my luck was bad to the extreme. I drew a defective spirit soul that could not even possibly give me a soul skill. Despite such circumstances, I completed the fusion with the spirit soul and persisted in continuing my cultivation. My cultivation speed was slower than anyone else at the time so I could only advance one step at a time. In order to get into Shrek Academy, I put in efforts that no one else could imagine and took the path all the way until today.”
“So failure will never become a setback for me for it will only become the motivate me into continuing forward. The words ‘Battle of Five Gods’ made my blood boil so I’ll certainly attempt the bet. Even if I lose, I’ll try to complete it. I believe that this will be an important stepping stone in my path towards the future.”
Everyone quieted down upon listening to Tang Wulin’s narration. Hu Jie looked at Tang Wulin with burning gaze and was met with Tang Wulin’s calm gaze. There was only blazing heat in the depth of Tang Wulin’s eyes. There was only the yearning for battle!”
“Alright. I’ll be reporting about this matter to his excellency Amorous Douluo for sure. Sect Master, please remember that you’re representing Tang Sect too,” Smiley Face Douluo said with a solemn expression.
Tang Wulin said, “it is my pride to represent the Tang Sect. Don’t worry, I’ll do everything I can to guard its honor.”
His birth father was the founder of the Tang Sect. His goal was to catch up to his footsteps and find the Divine Realm in the future. Although there was almost no possibility of winning this competition, Tang Wulin believed that he could certainly achieve many things from this competition that he could not in his usual cultivation.
When they left the palace, the scene appeared slightly desolate as compared to the grandness they witnessed upon arrival. Even the crown prince did not come to send them away. It was apparent that they were still filled with rage at Tang Wulin’s rejection of their princess.
Shrek Seven Monsters and the rest proceeded to rest after returning to the headquarters. Hu Jie came to the information transmission center of Tang Sect’s headquarters before he made an overseas soul communication.
“Old Hu? What’s going on?” The communication was patched through. Amorous Douluo’s relaxed voice was heard on the other end of the communicator.
“Deputy Hall Master, there has been a situation at the Star Luo Empire.” Hu Jie elaborated about all sorts of events that took place after Tang Wulin’s arrival.
Zang Xin did not interrupt and waited until Hu Jie was done elaborating. “What a waste…”
“What a waste? We can’t actually blame the Sect Master on this matter for no one could’ve expected such a situation to happen. We can’t force anyone into loving someone. Moreover, Sect Master is still young, buoyant, and impetuous. It’s very hard for him to change his firm beliefs and we can’t dodge the issue for fear of disrespecting the Star Luo’s empire’s royal household.” Hu Jie sighed.
Amorous Douluo on the other end of the communication could not help laughing. “Old Hu, are you trying to defend the Sect Master? That’s not like you at all. I originally thought that you won’t approve of the Sect Master’s leadership that easily.”
Hu Jie said, “that’s because of his abilities and his performance at the Dou Spirit Empire. I wished that I could give a ferocious kick to the Spirit Pagoda’s buttocks since earlier and the Sect Master managed to do it. He had even destroyed their branch in Dou Spirit Empire. That’s truly delightful to hear. However, things are going to be more troublesome on the Star Luo Empire’s side this time. Hall Master, do you have any backup plan for this?”
Amorous Douluo spoke, “with the Sect Master’s presence, he should be making the decision for any contingency plans. Why bother asking me about it?”
“Huh?!” Hu Jie was stunned for a moment. Both he and Li Yunzhe had rigid thinking. They thought that the real authority still lied in the hands of the two Douluo Hall’s Hall Masters in reality when Tang Wulin was promoted to the position of Sect Master at such a young age. They thought that Tang Wulin was only promoted to such a high rank in order to cultivate him earlier.”
Zang Xin spoke with a deep voice, “remember this Old Hu. We must maintain the necessary respect for the Sect Master at all times. His words are Tang Sect’s will and this is the mutual decision of me and Cao Dezhi. We won’t go against his orders either. He isn’t chosen by us but he is the Sect Master chosen by the heavens. The heights that he can go to in the future is something that we can’t possibly imagine. As for the Sect Master’s decision to participate in the Battle of Five Gods, he shall participate. I mentioned ‘what a waste’ earlier because I won’t be able to witness the competition with my own eyes. I believe in our Sect Master. So what if he loses the competition? Has anyone of us not lose a battle before? Could it be that you don’t think that we should be feeling proud for the leader of our Tang Sect to have the courage to participate in the Battle of Five Gods against an empire? You should know that this is the pinnacle of a duel that’s only used between two empires to decide the fate of an empire since ancient times. The Star Luo proposed the Battle of Five Gods as a sign of approval to our Tang Sect. They’re treating us as almost of the same status as them. Looking from this angle, it seems like a good thing.”
Amorous Douluo paused for a moment before he continued. “Moreover, our bottom line is that we can renounce those terms in reality. It’s possible that these weapons can reverse the war situation at this stage, but this is only war and these weapons are consumables that aren’t enough for the Star Luo Empire to counterattack the federation. The reason why we’re imposing the restrictions is to display our attitude. The Sect Master is aware of this too. So just let go and let him make his own decisions. The Battle of Five Gods! Hah-hah. Even our Atlas Douluo had never pursued such a heroic undertaking back in his days. It’s normal to lose but in case he does win one or two rounds out of the five rounds, it will be our Tang Sect’s honor.”
Smiley Face Douluo felt clear-minded upon listening to Amorous Douluo’s words. “I see what you mean now. I’m at ease if that’s the case. On the other hand, I think that it is highly possible that our Sect Master can achieve victory in one or two rounds. That attack of his that combines his Time Backtrack spiritual domain and time-type divine skills is so impressive that even En Ci will be dreading it. After all, En Ci is so old now. I reckon that he will be unwilling to shorten his lifespan by a few years. Hah-hah.”
“Wait, what’s Time Backtrack spiritual domain?” Amorous Douluo asked in astonishment.
“Huh? You don’t know about that yet?” Smiley Face Douluo was surprised. “It’s the Sect Master’s spiritual domain! I truly didn’t expect him to have successfully cultivated his spiritual domain at such a young age. I’ve truly wasted so many years of my life for I have yet to successfully condense my spiritual domain until now. It’s because of this that I still haven’t taken that one last step after all.”
Amorous Douluo was quiet.
“What’s going on, Hall Master? Is everything alright?” asked Hu Jie.
It was only now that Amorous Douluo voice sounded leisurely. “Let me tell you something that might possibly waver your confidence. It has only been over a year since the Sect Master entered the Spirit Domain realm. On the other hand, he had yet to successfully cultivate his spiritual domain before he left the Douluo Continent and headed to Dou Spirit Continent. Time Backtrack huh? Hah-hah, what an impressive name.”
Smiley Face Douluo could not smile anymore as his lips twitched. “Where did the both of you pick up such a freak! How are the other soul masters going to survive in his presence?”
Amorous Douluo burst out laughing. “This is known as having discerning eyes for talented people. You should understand why we upheld the decision for him to take over the Tang Sect right now against the majority’s opinion, right? You should know that the Atlas Douluo had already confirmed the decision to pass down Sea God Pavilion Master’s position to Tang Wulin as he was dying. If we hadn’t acted fast, truly nothing much would have remained for us anymore. If not because of the fact that Tang Sect’s strength is needed to rebuild Shrek Academy, I’m afraid that Light Dark Douluo wouldn’t have agreed. Actually, it should be our pleasure to have a Sect Master like him.”
Hu Jie blinked his eyes as a smile once again returned to his face. “Alright. I understand now. Don’t worry, I’ll protect our Sect Master well and safely send him back for sure. The Sect Master’s future is truly limitless! According to his current development, he will certainly become a man of Atlas Douluo’s level in the future. However, his level of popularity with the girls is certainly by no means less than Atlas Douluo back then.”
Amorous Douluo spoke with helplessness, “that’s what happens to a man when he is too outstanding. There’s nothing much that can be done about it. Don’t talk about Atlas Douluo anymore. One of the four heavenly kings of darkness in the Holy Spirit Cult now is darkened after developing hatred and envy for his love back then. Do you still remember about the Phoenix sisters from those days?
