Chapter 462: 462

Chapter 462 - Crisis of the Fourth Seal

“Your fourth seal will only last three more months . You have to find the necessary spirit items and break the seal before then,” Old Tang said grimly .  

“Huh?” Tang Wulin gaped . “Isn’t that too soon? Didn’t I have plenty of time?” 

“At first, things were fine . Your strength was growing fast enough to handle the later seals and you were eating food that bolstered your blood essence . However, you did something that  loosened the Golden Dragon King seals . Cracks have appeared in the fourth sea and the suppressed Golden Dragon King power within is beginning to stir . If you don’t break the seal and take the power for yourself soon, the seal will collapse and the energies will run rampant in your body . At that moment, you might die . Tell me what you have been doing that may have caused this . ” 

Tang Wulin’s heart thumped . The first thing that came to his mind was his soul fusion skill with Gu Yue .

“A soul fusion skill?” he blurted out .

“Soul fusion skill?” Old Tang asked in astonishment . “There’s someone you can use a soul fusion skill with? Impossible!” 

“Yeah! Gu Yue told me our soul fusion skill is called the Dragon God’s Nine Transformations . I didn’t get a chance to ask her about its specifics though . ” Tang Wulin proceeded to recount all that had happened to him recently .  

Old Tang listened quietly, knitting his brows from time to time, and pressing his lips tightly together as his shimmering figure hovered there .  

“I can’t make any sense of it either . No one should be able to use a soul fusion skill with you . The Golden Dragon King’s bloodline has transformed your body into something that is is nothing like an ordinary human anymore . According to your story, that soul fusion skill consumed your soul power, blood essence, and spiritual power . All of these are the markers of a one hundred percent fusion rate for a fusion skill, meaning  that Gu Yue girl’s martial soul is compatible with yours . Except, you said her martial soul is the Elementalist . That can’t be . I can’t think of any other martial soul that could be compatible with you either . ” 

Tang Wulin didn’t expect that even Old Tang was baffled by this . “If even you don’t know, then should I go ask my teachers?” 

Old Tang shook his head . “They don’t understand your situation, let alone your soul fusion skill . I’ll think about this carefully and see if I can find any clues . In the meantime, you have two urgent matters to attend to . First, you need to find the four spirit items within three months . With your current body strength, absorbing the power of the fourth seal should be easy . Second, absolutely do not use that soul fusion skill in the future unless you absolutely have to . It provokes the Golden Dragon King’s energy within you and weakens the seals . If you use it again, you might have to break two seals at the same time and you’ll be doomed to death . Understood?” 

Tang Wulin’s heart tightened and he quickly nodded . “Got it . I won’t use it unless I have to . ” 

“Good . Also, since the fourth seal has been weakened, the timeline for the other seals have shifted as well . I’ll tell you how long you have as we go . Even I can’t evaluate them properly right now . Just do your best to prepare . ” 

Tang Wulin smiled bitterly . “Just be direct with me . I need to go make more money to buy spirit items . ” 

Old Tang gave a warm smile . “Yes, that’s pretty much it . You don’t need to be too anxious about it though . With your body as strong as it is now, you should be able to handle the next three seals . Your constitution will also continue to improve as you absorb the power of the Golden Dragon King . The effects will become far more apparent once you have four soul rings . ” 

The Golden Dragon King bloodline was like a double-edged sword for Tang Wulin . Although it offered immense power, it came at a high price . Tang Wulin’s head started to ache as his thoughts reached to how he would acquire the four spirit items needed for the seal . Fortunately, he lived in Shrek City now, the greatest city on the continent . Spirit items were in abundance there . He wasn’t too worried about money either . As long as he could smith, earning money wouldn’t be too hard .  

I’ll go visit the Tang Sect when we get back . I need to earn some contribution points . The prices for spirit items are a bit cheaper there .  

Light and darkness swirled before his eyes . A moment later, Old Tang and the golden hall disappeared and he was back in darkness . As his consciousness faded away, a question appeared in his mind .  If I gain a blood essence soul ring every two seals, then what kind of soul skill will i get from my second gold ring? 

☀ 

When Tang Wulin woke up, he was lying on a bed . He raised a sore arm to rub his aching head, letting out a long groan as he opened his eyes .  

A chubby face popped out above him . “Wulin, you’re awake!” Xu Lizhi flashed his usual silly smile .  

“Ugh . My head hurts . Where are we?” Tang Wulin asked .  

“We’re already back at Shrek . Don’t you recognize our dorm room?” 

“Huh? We’re back?” Tang Wulin’s eyes went wide . Before he lost consciousness, they were still in Bright City! The distance between Shrek City and Bright City was by no means small .  Just how long was I asleep? 

“Teacher Wu’s flying car is really fast, much faster than a soul train! It only took us five hours to get back,” Xu Lizhi explained .  

“That fast? Wow! Flying cars are so convenient! We should buy one next time!” Tang Wulin was amazed but also disappointed that he hadn’t been conscious for the ride . He had missed out on an amazing experience! 

On the other hand, Xu Lizhi broke out into a cold sweat . “It’s nowhere near as amazing as you think . I feel sick just remembering the ride . Xiaoyan puked from the shaking, and I almost did too . Only Xie Xie and Xinglan seemed unfazed . You and Gu Yue were shaking in your seats too! Lucky for you, you weren’t awake . Anyway, that soul fusion skill is so awesome! You’ve gotta be hungry after that . You want something to eat?”

“Yeah, I’m starving! I’ll eat until you’re out of soul power,” Tang Wulin said happily .  

Tang Wulin hadn’t been exaggerating . For the next hour, he shoved pork buns into his mouth so fast it was like a raging waterfall . The only reason he hadn’t eaten for longer was that Xu Lizhi’s soul power ran out, so he had to meditate .  

After Tang Wulin filled his belly with pork buns, a comfortable warmth spread throughout his body . His energy was quickly replenishing .  

Tang Wulin’s body was far stronger than the last time he had used soul fusion skill, so the side effects weren’t as serious this time . In fact, they were relatively minor .  

After examining his condition for a bit, Tang Wulin decided to test it in the future . First though, he had some matters to attend to . After the end-of-semester exam was a month of vacation . He needed to get his affairs in order before then, and find out whether his entire class passed or not .  

Tang Wulin had to meditate for a bit before he had the strength to walk . When he got out of his bed, he found that all of his confiscated possessions were arranged neatly on his desk . He picked up his soul communicator and called Wu Zhangkong .  

The moment Wu Zhangkong picked up, he told Tang Wulin he would come right over and to wait in his own room .  

Minutes later, the handsome Ice Prince, Wu Zhangkong, entered .

“Teacher Wu, how did we do on our exam?” Tang Wulin asked .

“Full marks and bonus points . ”
