The Legend of the Dragon King - Chapter 1008

Chapter 1008: 1008




Jiang Wuyue had his brows in a tight furrow . "Is that so? But I feel perfectly fine! The way I felt it, my defenses were clearly up . How could it be weakened?"

Tang Wulin shrugged .  "I don't know about that . Nevertheless, it's a grave problem . It's insignificant in the Battle Network, but if something in your body goes wrong while you're fighting an abyssal creature, then that would be disastrous . It's a matter of life and death! Why don't we go in again so that you can feel the changes in your defenses carefully?"

Jiang Wuyue nodded immediately . He said with slight nervousness, "Okay, let's try again . This time, go slow, don't be in a rush to attack me . "

They both re-entered the competition stage .

When Jiang Wuyue hammered his own chest with his giant hammer, he felt his defenses and his battle armor's defensive powers were in place . The anxiety in his eyes immediately vanished .

"There's nothing wrong! My defenses are normal! See, the force of that strike just now was at least thousands of kilograms . I don't feel anything wrong with my defenses . Haha, I told you I'm fine . Then again, I don't trust…"

A minute later .

"Tang! Wu! Lin!" An exasperated Jiang Wuyue looked at Tang Wulin who emerged from behind him . "No, no, it's your spear that's acting strange . Your strength is odd as well . This time my hammer clearly hit your Golden Dragon Spear, why did it bounce off immediately? It also left a deep mark on my hammer . My defensive powers mean nothing against your Golden Dragon Spear . It's like cutting through butter with a hot knife . What's the matter?"

Tang Wulin blinked . He was just about to say something when Jiang Wuyue continued, "Don't tell me that you've no idea as well . I won't believe you even if you said so . You're a devious man . You must've known what happened from the very beginning . It's not a problem with the Battle Network, right? It's your abilities that have evolved . "

Although Jiang Wuyue was honest and frank, he was not dumb to be able to reach his current status . After a few tries, especially when he had focused his attention, he realized that he had been duped by Tang Wulin . This man had known what was happening from the beginning all along, but he had tricked him into being the target practice time and again .



However, he was also greatly shocked . With his defensive powers which were already at its peak among the ranks of Soul Emperors . Tang Wulin's attacking powers had rendered his defenses utterly useless . Even Soul Saints or ordinary Soul Douluos could not do that! It was especially true for the sudden kill in their first match . Even if he had underestimated him, his attacking powers would have had to be highly potent for him to pull that off .


Jiang Wuyue was unable to comprehend all this, but the truth was laid in front of his very eyes .

Tang Wulin said with a helpless expression, "I didn't! I really have no idea what happened . I did have some breakthrough, but I don't understand why it made that much of a difference . You must've weakened, right?"

"Don't give me that crap . My soul power vortex has already formed, and it'll most certainly turn into a soul core in the future . How could I possibly have grown weaker?" said Jiang Wuyue angrily .

Tang Wulin's expression changed immediately as he said smugly, "Then it's me who's become stronger . You don't have to maintain that tough façade . You can just admit that you're afraid of me . There's no shame in that . It's alright . I won't discriminate against you . We can still be friends . "

"Who says I'm afraid? I wasn't afraid . I was merely unfamiliar with your abilities after your transformation . " Jiang Wuyue retorted angrily .

"Huh! You don't even dare to fight me, and still, you say that you aren't scared? We've fought a few times now . You must be used to me by now, right? Are you still brave enough to come at me again?" Tang Wulin's nose was high in the air .

"Bring it on! Let's see who's afraid after this . You're paying!"

"Okay . " Tang Wulin agreed without hesitation . They re-entered the competition stage again .



Two minutes later .

A light flashed, and Jiang Wuyue staggered out of it . An expression of fright flashed across his face .

Tang Wulin walked out after him and declared smugly . "Told you that you can't . This, my friend, is the difference between us!" As he scoffed at Jiang Wuyue, he pointed at the muscles on his arms .

"Impossible! I refuse to believe this . Again!"

Another two minutes later…

"Again!"

Yet another two minutes later…

"Enough!"

A defeated Jiang Wuyue looked at Tang Wulin before him . If the first time had been a mistake, and the second had been carelessness, what would three times or five times be? Would that still be considered a mistake?

This fellow was simply a monster . Whether it was his strength, agility, attacks or defenses, everything about him was in the superlative . His Golden Dragon Spear did not look like a heavy weapon no matter how one looked at it . Still, Tang Wulin managed to parry his giant hammers even in a head-on collision . The defenses which Jiang Wuyue took pride in did not pose a problem to Tang Wulin . The moment Tang Wulin had an opportunity, Jiang Wuyue's body would be immediately impaled .

What was even more terrifying was Tang Wulin's Spear's Consciousness . When his Spear's Consciousness was unleashed, Jiang Wuyue would immediately feel a chill running down his spine, as if the chilly air flowed through his body which was being hollowed by the spear .

When faced with such an opponent, despite Jiang Wuyue's high battle spirits, the feeling of defeat remained! If they continued battling, Jiang Wuyue's confidence would be completely shattered . He did not want to continue fighting Tang Wulin .

"Wuyue, are you alright?" Tang Wulin came to his side with a face full of concern .

"Go away!" Jiang Wuyue panted . It was not easy for him to recover from the pain he felt .

Tang Wulin sighed, "I didn't know that it'll turn out like this . Have I grown so strong? Wuyue, I'm sorry . I know that an overly huge difference between our skills will make you feel inferior, but I didn't plan for it that way . It's alright, don't feel inferior . Continue to put in more effort . "

"Who's feeling inferior? You're the one who's feeling inferior!" Jiang Wuyue's short temper could not be restrained .

Tang Wulin shrugged . "You don't even have the guts to continue . If that's not feeling inferior, what is?"

"Who says I don't have the guts?" Jiang Wuyue's eyes bulged . In the next instant, his gaze turned calm suddenly . He scoffed and said, "I know what you're doing . I won't take the bait again . You're a sly one . You're trying to prod me into fighting you again with your snide remarks . I won't be a fool this time . "

Tang Wulin shrugged . "Whatever you say . I want to give you a chance to redeem your self-esteem by not using my battle armor in the next match . Since you're reluctant to continue, forget it then . Let's go out . "

"Wait! Do you mean it? About you not using your battle armor?" Jiang Wuyue pulled at Tang Wulin .

"Of course!" said Tang Wulin earnestly . "I've to give you a chance to redeem your self-esteem . Forget it . Seems like you aren't interested at all . I should save myself the pain of being clobbered by you . "

"Don't! Wulin, you're a good person . Come, come . Let's have another match . This time, I'll pay!"

They re-entered the competition stage and stood opposite each other . Tang Wulin had a faint smile on his face .

Jiang Wuyue looked at him with keen sparkling eyes, "You gave your word . You can't use your battle armor!"

"Of course!" Tang Wulin nodded toward him .

"Three, two, one, begin!"

With the prompt from the electronic voice, Jiang Wuyue unleashed his martial soul and battle armor once more and raised his strength to the maximum .

As Tang Wulin looked at him, he could not help but muse inwardly . If it had been any other opponent, he would definitely not have prodded them into continuing the fight although he needed powerful opponents to have a measure of his current strength .

However, Jiang Wuyue was different . He had the most formidable battle spirit among all the people Tang Wulin had met . Besides, he was simple-minded . He had a better psyche than most people . He truly fought braver the more he lost .

As expected, Tang Wulin did not unleash his battle armor . He held his Golden Dragon Spear by his side . Four golden soul rings arose from beneath his feet which circled around him .

The first golden soul ring shone . It was his impressive Golden Dragon Body . Golden scales covered his entire body . Although it did not enhance him as much as his battle armor, the scales on his body emanated a faint whitish glow .
