Alright, I’ll keep that in mind.
The life force needed by the Life Seed was truly a difficult matter. Tang Wulin had not found any dense life force up until now. On the other hand, the ordinary life force was too weak for the Life Seed.
Tang Wulin gave it some thought and said,
Is the Thunderclap Nether Vine alright? Does it need my help?


It’s alright. Being within your body is the greatest help for it. Now that I’ve brought it in, all we’ve to do is to let it recuperate within your body. When your cultivation base is finally at the rank of a Title Douluo, you’ll then need to sign a contract with it. Actually, Zhang Geyang’s body quality is still not satisfactory yet. If it stays with you, it’ll be able to unleash far greater power. Also, your martial soul is the Bluesilver Emperor. The Thunderclap Nether Vine is the spirit soul most suited for you. When it merges with your Bluesilver Emperor, your Bluesilver Emperor will undergo some changes. Being Nature’s Child with an immense life force, you’ll surely be able to help the Thunderclap Nether Vine achieve a hundred-thousand year cultivation base. More importantly, we see an increased opportunity for eternal life in your body. I didn’t tell the others for fear that they won’t leave you. However, your body won’t be able to withhold so many soul beasts. Sigh…

The Thunderclap Nether Vine looked like a vine as it name suggests. Although it was different from the Bluesilver Grass, they were still plant-type soul beasts. They also had common traits. When he thought about the three superb skills displayed by the Thunderclap Nether Vine today, he felt his heartbeat quicken. If its cultivation base was raised to a hundred thousand years, and it acted recklessly in its attacks, what would become of the world?
His Golden Dragon King bloodline was a violent attack in itself. If he had another violent attribute, then his explosive energy would definitely shock the entire soul masters’ realm.


He reckoned that the Hell Flame Douluo must be deep in regret so much so that his intestines turned green. He really did throw the helve after the hatchet. Not only was he defeated, he had lost his important spirit soul too. It was a real blow to his cultivation base. He was certain that without the Thunderclap Nether Vine, he could no longer be a Title Douluo. The Thunderclap Nether Vine had given him results without any extra effort on his part.
It had been a long time since Tang Wulin used spirit souls to help him fight. With his current cultivation base, he preferred to use his own strength. If he used his spirit souls’ powers too much, he would end up being dependent on them. That was why he seldom unleashed them. For his spirit souls, staying within his body was also good for their own cultivation since they were being constantly nourished.
When the Overlord Dragon appeared today, even Tang Wulin was shocked. Its hundred-meter height made it look like an actual mountain. Its destructive power increased day by day. Tang Wulin could feel the Overlord Dragon was only a step away from becoming a real dragon. A breakthrough would bring some substantial changes.
It might be the hundred thousand year cultivation base the Thunderclap Nether Vine was looking for. After being nourished by the life force within his body, the Overlord Dragon had already gained the potential to breakthrough to a hundred thousand year-rank. If it accomplished the breakthrough, everything would be different. He wondered how it would turn out when the time came. It was already a hundred meters tall now. Would it not be more terrifying? He felt all tingly just thinking about it.
After letting his thoughts run wild for a brief moment, Tang Wulin calmed his mind and gradually entered into a meditative state.
The Battle of Five Gods did not consume much of his energy. Instead, it tired his spirits. He was going up against extremely powerful opponents in each battle, and his strength was not at the level where he was evenly matched against his opponents. He won because he relied on his combined abilities, and his opponents did not understand him. He had racked his brains for sure.
He had three more matches to go. The following matches would be progressively more difficult. Tomorrow’s match would be the third match of the Battle of Five Gods, a soul skill battle. The soul skill battle was actually the most traditional of all the soul master battles. No battle armor nor weapons were allowed apart from the use of martial souls. Otherwise, there were no other restrictions.
Without a doubt, it would be the most difficult match Tang Wulin would have to face since the Battle of Five Gods commenced. In terms of difficulty, it was second only to the final battle, the armor battle.
His opponent would be a Hyper Douluo, whose strength would most probably be as powerful as today’s Zhang Geyang. It would not be easy for Tang Wulin to win in the face of absolute strength.
However, the more experience he had with such battles, the more he would improve. Hence, he had to face them seriously. Even if he lost, it would be with honor.


…

Boom!
The solid wood table immediately turned into fine powder. Under the burning of the dark blue flames, not a trace of the table was left.
Zhang Geyang’s facial features appeared distorted. The Hell Flame Douluo had not been as furious as he was today for a long time.
When he received En Ci’s invitation, he immediately agreed to it without hesitation. He was given the opportunity to defeat the Tang Sect’s newly appointed Sect Master while representing the Spirit Pagoda. Was there anything more satisfying than this?
However, he never expected to lose today, and to lose so completely. Even his spirit soul was taken away by his opponent.
He could still accept the fact that he lost the competition. At most, it was a matter of pride. At his age and cultivation base, he no longer regarded such things as important.
What he cared more about was his own cultivation base. He had already attained to rank-98 for a long time now. Becoming a Limit Douluo was his life’s goal. Only by becoming a Limit Douluo could he be free of his physical limitations and live forever.
Recently, he had begun to feel that way. If he kept it up, he might just be able to rely on his Sapphire Phoenix’s enhancement to reach that threshold.
However, at the moment, the Thunderclap Nether Vine had defected and completely robbed him of his aspiration. Without his spirit soul, his three other soul skills and overall strength had weakened. He could never make up for that!
It was no longer possible for him to become a Limit Douluo. When he ruminated over it, Zhang Geyang felt as though there were thousands of ants gnawing away at his heart. It was painful.


A goal that he had chased after his whole life. Just when it was within reach, it was suddenly snatched away. It was a burning shame, an irreconcilable grudge.

Tang Wulin!
he practically squeezed out the words from between his teeth. Zhang Geyang gritted his teeth. The hatred in his eyes turned into a fiery inferno in hell.

Pagoda Master, the venerable spiriter is here,
a trembling Spirit Pagoda subordinate reported to Zhang Geyang from outside the room.

Spiriter?
When he heard the word, Zhang Geyang mellowed down. He drew a deep breath to calm his emotions.
The spiriter had special status. Before she arrived, Zhang Geyang had received a soul call from Qiangu Dongfeng. He had been instructed to treat her well.
It was said that the spiriter had contributed a lot to the Spirit Pagoda. Zhang Geyang was not entirely sure what those contributions were. It was top secret in the Spirit Pagoda.
However, Zhang Geyang knew that the spiriter was Qiangu Dongfeng’s potential granddaughter-in-law. She would hold great power in the Qiangu Clan. He knew that she would be coming to Star Luo City in the days ahead. However, he did not expect her to come so soon.

Take her to the meeting room,
Zhang Geyang said with a gloomy expression.

Yes, Pagoda Master.

When Zhang Geyang met the famous spiriter from the Spirit Pagoda, he was more than a little surprised.


No wonder Qiangu Dongfeng preferred her to be his granddaughter-in-law. This girl was really pretty! If he were a few decades younger, he would be attracted to her as well. Also, Zhang Geyang distinctly felt a faint magnetism around this silver-haired, purple-eyed young girl. It was certainly caused by some dense elemental shockwaves.
