The Legend of the Dragon King - Chapter 616

Chapter 616: Battle Soul Hall’s Mission

"Okay, we have a quorum . " The black fighter stretched out his right arm and revealed a black-ranked badge in his palm . He pressed on his badge and stopped transmitting the signal .

This distress signal was sent by him? Tang Wulin suddenly understood . That was not a distress signal, but a call to gather .

So it could be used in such a way . He had rushed over, but he still could not make anything of the situation .

He was on the Star Luo Continent, but he was about to take part in his first ever Tang Sect Battle Soul Hall group activity . He was feeling slightly strange, but he still looked forward to it . What was the purpose of gathering all these people?

In truth, Tang Wulin had never been called to gather when he was in Shrek City . Because he was still a student of Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect's soul system in Shrek City had given him special treatment and blocked the signal of his badge . At the same time, his potential was immense . Before he graduated from Shrek Academy's outer court and rose to the ranks of a one-word Battle Armor Master, Tang Sect would not prepare itself to allow him to participate in any dangerous missions .

However, the Tang Sect Battle Soul Hall's system in Star Luo City was independent . Once there was a gathering, Tang Wulin had immediately received the signal . That was why he saw the scene before him .

He decided to take things as they came . He would just take part in the activity . After all, everyone was wearing the same attire . Nobody could recognize anyone else .

The black fighter said with a deep voice, "We've received reliable information that the Green Skeleton Rebellion will launch another terror attack tonight in Star Luo City when there's a large crowd . We've obtained intel about their targeted venue for now, but we still have no idea as to where their base is located . We can only go to their targeted venue in advance and make our preparations there . I'll personally lead the team . Make ready for battle . "

"The Green Skeleton Rebellion is cruel and ruthless . To prevent more civilians from getting hurt, we've been granted special permission to shoot our targets on sight . Before I relay the mission, we must confirm our identities . "

Confirm identities? How would they go about confirming identities? Tang Wulin was slightly stunned, but then he saw that the other fighters had stretched out their right hands . Their fighter badges were on their palms .

He quickly stretched out his right hand and revealed his white fighter badge .

The black fighter badge was much larger than his and seemed to have different functions as well . A beam of shadow shot toward the sky and quickly expanded into a large patch of darkness . As if they were drawn by some force, beams of wispy light rose from the fighters' badges on their palms and blended into the darkness . Immediately, the lights lit up like stars in the night sky .

Tang Wulin could see clearly now . Other than the black fighter, the badges of the others had lit up with different colors . There were four clumps of lights that were purplish and were noticeably brighter than the other lights . There were twelve yellow lights, and the others were all white .

Other than the black fighter, there were thirty fighters in total . Naturally, it meant there were four purple fighters, twelve yellow fighters, and fourteen white fighters .

According to the Battle Soul Hall's rules, a black fighter must at least be a three-word battle armor master, purple fighters must at least be a two-word battle armor master, and white fighters must have a cultivation base of at least four rings, and possess at least one piece of battle armor . At the same time, the prospective fighter must at least have the potential to become a two-word battle armor master before they could join Battle Soul Hall .

This also meant that among the Tang Sect disciples who had gathered in this hall, there were as many as one three-word battle armor master, four two-word battle armor masters, and twelve one-word battle armor masters .

From when the badges lit up until now, this many experts had gathered in such a short period of time . The unseen strength of Tang Sect in the Star Luo Empire made Tang Wulin feel an unwitting shock in his heart .

"We'll depart now . I'll arrange our plan of action along the way . " The black fighter waved his hand, pushed a side door open and went out first . The others did not make any sound as they filed out of the hall and followed behind him .

They took the elevator and went down to an unknown place . Tang Wulin only followed the others, then they split into three soul cars .

These soul cars had been custom made with specially tempered windscreens . The happenings on the inside could not be viewed from the exterior, but those within could see whatever was happening outside .

In the car Tang Wulin and the others were in, there was a purple fighter, and the rest were white fighters like him .

After they got in the car, the purple fighter gave everyone a small pouch . He said with a deep voice, "Place the communicator inside your ears and maintain a connection at all times . Your temporary numbers are inside the pouches . Your mission is to guard the perimeter and prevent Green Skeleton Rebellion members from escaping . At the same time, you are to stand-by and wait for orders . The coordinates for your respective positions can be found on the electronic map . If you need backup, immediately report your number and the situation you're facing . "

"The ambush initiated by the Green Skeleton Rebellion this time will almost certainly employ fixed soul bombs . So, there'll be a certain degree of danger here . Everyone must be careful . If you find a bomb, report it first . We have a few members who are experts in disarming bombs . Unless you are absolutely certain, do not try to disarm the bomb yourselves, understood?"

"Yes!" answered the few white fighters in unison . As this was Tang Wulin's first time taking part in such a mission, his reply lagged behind the others slightly .

The purple fighter's gaze instantly fell on him . "White Three, you have a question?"

The temporary number Tang Wulin had received was White Three .

"No," replied Tang Wulin immediately .

His voice was obviously younger than the others, but the purple fighter did not seem to mind . This was because white fighters were people who had enormous potential to develop their actual combat abilities selected by the Tang Sect . It was common for them to be slightly younger .

"Is this your first time participating in missions like this?" asked the purple fighter . His number was Purple One .

"Yes . " Although Tang Wulin felt awkward and embarrassed, he still admitted it .

"Just relax . The inside missions are basically carried out by yellow fighters and above . You lot are mainly responsible for the outer perimeter . Just do your own duties, be careful and cautious at all times, and you'll be fine . If you encounter something that you can't control, request for backup immediately . Your companion closest to you will go over to help you . "

"Yes, sir," Tang Wulin replied hastily . He was not really that nervous . In fact, he was actually somewhat excited .

He had an undying hatred for the Green Skeleton Rebellion . They had just arrived on the Star Luo Continent when they were ambushed by them . The mission this time was directed against them . Naturally, Tang Wulin was eager to have a go at it .

The car traveled smoothly . Purple One gave another series of orders . Tang Wulin looked at the electronic map on his wrist which was shaped like a watch, and then he familiarized himself with the simple soul tool devices which were distributed to them . He wore the communicator and adjusted the volume .

"We're here . " The three cars parked on a small, dark lane . The car doors slid open silently, and the fighters disembarked .

With the arrangements made before they got in the car, everyone started carrying out the mission immediately . Including the black fighter, all thirty members quickly melted into the surrounding environments .

It was only the afternoon whereas the Green Skeleton Rebellion would be carrying out their mission at night .

Tang Wulin followed his own electronic map to the specified spot . He observed his surroundings, found a dark corner and hid there .

Through his own observation just now and the introduction of Purple One, he knew that the target of Green Skeleton Rebellion's assault this time was a grand theatre . There would be a performance in the theatre tonight, and it could accommodate an audience of thousands . If they created an assault in a place with such a dense crowd, the results would naturally be catastrophic .

The spot where Tang Wulin guarded was a side wall . Purple One had intentionally assigned him a relatively safe spot because this was his first time participating in a mission . If everything went well, he might not even meet an enemy at his spot .

"White One, in position!" A voice came from the communicator in his ear . Tang Wulin also quickly reported his own situation . "White Three, in position . "

He could see through the electronic map, that the Tang Sect Battle Soul Hall fighters had all taken their positions in a short amount of time . What came next would be waiting patiently .
