Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Feeling helpless, she could only follow her little sister’s wishes. After all, Shen Xing did not have any problems in other aspects. After her experience in the Northsea Navy Corps, she became more outstanding with each passing day. She had even attained the rank of a five-ringed Soul King. With her cultivation base, even if she was drunk, it would be difficult to threaten her.

Naturally, she strongly believed what Mo Lan said over the phone. Could it be that her little sister’s serious insomnia was because of that guy?

The handsome face appeared in Shen Yue’s mind. He was a bright-eyed, young man. He appeared calm even when he faced the forces of the Northsea Navy Corps,

Shen Xing did not know his identity. However, Shen Yue had carried out some investigations after the affair. Although Mo Lan did not mention it just now, his name surfaced in Shen Yue’s mind.

‘Tang Wulin, I think his name was Tang Wulin, the leader of Shrek Academy’s current Shrek Seven Monsters. He’s not dead? Didn’t he die in that great explosion? According to the information we got, he should’ve been inside Shrek Academy at the time!’

Mo Lan was unaware that she had unintentionally exposed the fact that Tang Wulin was still alive to her best friend.

It was precisely because she knew Tang Wulin’s identity that Shen Yue’s expression turned sour. That little sister of hers had fancied a difficult man.

‘What’s Tang Wulin doing in Mingdu City then? What’s he planning to do next? Judging by his importance in Shrek Academy, his objectives are as clear as day. I can’t let my little sister involve herself in this. She can’t be led astray by him.’

“Men, bring me lieutenant colonel Shen Xing. No matter where she is, I want to see her within the hour.” She definitely could not allow her sister to do as she wished. This matter was important. She must nip the problem in the bud before anything happened.

...

The soul express train was the most convenient means of transportation. Tang Wulin brought his comrades to Heaven Dou City safely by train.

They only made it as far as Heaven Dou City. The former Shrek City transportation hub had been destroyed alongside Shrek City. Nobody thought to rebuild it.

Heaven Dou City appeared to have regained its charm. It still had its vintage look and atmosphere. It displayed the varied characteristics of the Douluo Continent in ancient times.

The Blood God Army warriors were curious about this place. Most of them had never set foot on the mainland, nor have they seen such a vintage-looking city. They kept their curious gazes, Long Yuxue included.

As they moved forward, Tang Wulin made everyone fan out while keeping a certain distance between themselves lest they attracted attention.

He was quite familiar with Heaven Dou City. Moreover, the Blacksmith’s Association’s headquarters was here.

“Let’s find a place to stay first. Yuxue, I’ll leave that to you. Big brother, are you familiar with Heaven Dou City?” Tang Wulin asked A Ruheng.

A Ruheng caressed his bald head. “I think so. I’ve some recollection of it.”

Tang Wulin said, “You go help Yuxue then. She’s never been here before. I’ve something else to do. We’ll keep in touch with our soul communicators.” He immediately turned around and left.

Jiang Wuyue could not help but complained, “This fellow is becoming highly irresponsible these days. You don’t even get to see much of him lately.”

“Shut up.” Long Yuxue shot him a glare.

Jiang Wuyue shrugged and sighed. “This is unfair!”

Long Yuxue ignored him. After she had discussed with A Ruheng, she led the others into Heaven Dou City.

Tang Wulin got in a rented car and drove to a familiar place.

He dialed a number on his soul communicator. Very quickly, the call was connected.

“Wulin?” came Zhen Hua’s voice.

“Master uncle, it’s me. I’m back. Are you in the headquarters?” Tang Wulin briefly explained his current condition.

Zhen Hua was silent for a moment. “Come up then. I’m here. Come through the back door.”

Five minutes later, Tang Wulin appeared in Zhen Hua’s office. Once he entered the office, he saw familiar faces. Zhen Hua was not alone. His teacher, Mu Chen was present as well.

“Teacher, master uncle” Tang Wulin took two steps forward and had wanted to salute them. However, Mu Chen stood up and stopped him.

“Good man. Is it you, the Golden Dragon King who entered the Federal Star Dou Battle Network Challenge?” Mu Chen said with a smile.

Tang Wulin nodded.

Mu Chen said, “Not bad, you didn’t embarrass me. With your cultivation base, I think I won’t be able to compete with you anymore soon. However, have you slacked in your forging?”

Zhen Hua chuckled, “I’ll answer this question for him. He hasn’t. Also, he’ll surpass you very soon.”

“Oh? How’d you know?” asked Mu Chen curiously.

Zhen Hua said with a smile, “That old man, Yao Ling called me yesterday. He lamented that I didn’t tell him about having such an outstanding closed-door disciple. This closed-door disciple of mine is called Gu Yue. He displayed a forging skill level that was almost on par with a rank-8 Saint Craftsman. You tell me, isn’t he going to surpass his teacher now?”

“Rank-8? You’re almost at rank-8?” Mu Chen was shocked.

He was a rank-8 Saint Craftsman. He knew how difficult it was to become a rank-8 Saint Craftsman. When he heard that Tang Wulin was almost at this level, how could he not be shocked?

Tang Wulin said, “I think I’ve just gotten some feel for it recently. I’ve achieved some breakthrough in my spiritual power. That’s why my senses toward metals have become more acute.”

He had a few regrets. In truth, he had not spent much time in forging during the time he spent in the Blood God Army.

His forging skills had improved together with his spiritual power which had been raised to the Spirit Domain Realm. It was because he had the support from the entire Douluo Continent plane. He had some inkling of the theories of heaven and earth which he applied in his forging. That was how he improved by leaps and bounds. If he wanted to truly reach the level of rank-8, he would need to put in more effort and practice in his forging.

“No matter what, it’s still good news. I picked the right guy. A Saint Craftsman in his twenties. Hahaha! Mr. President, can you believe this?” Even in his calmness, Mu Chen could not help but display a satisfied look at the moment.

Zhen Hua said pointedly, “Do you think you’re the only one who’s contributed to Tang Wulin’s improvement? Didn’t you hear what he told Yao Ling? He’s my disciple! He didn’t even mention you.”

Tang Wulin was speechless. Back then, he had said that he was Zhen Hua’s disciple so that it would sound more acceptable to Yao Ling.

“Don’t you try to cast a bone between us. It’s useless. My disciple is mine. You can drool all you want.” Mu Chen did not take the bait.

Zhen Hua snorted. He looked at Tang Wulin and said, “Wulin, what brings you here? Don’t be contented just because you’ve obtained some results. You should know what you’ll have to face in the future. It’s definitely not something that you can handle with your current cultivation base.”

Tang Wulin nodded. “I understand that, master uncle. However, I really have to start making preparations. I never thought that I can begin rebuilding Shrek Academy now, but I’ve to do some preparatory work first. I want to understand more about the continent, including the conditions of the great forces. I’d also like to know how much manpower we can mobilize from Shrek. Above all, I’ve to be familiar with the Tang Sect conditions. All these take time. That’s why I came back first. I’m planning to visit the remains of Shrek City later to survey the grounds.”

When he said this, his expression darkened. The scene of the Atlas Douluo protecting them from the ultimate explosion in the final moments surfaced in his mind.

Zhen Hua nodded. “Times have changed. You’ll have to be extremely cautious. Even our association is not completely safe. What about after your visit to Shrek City? I’d like to hear about your plans.”

Tang Wulin said, “After that, I’ll focus my efforts on improving myself and hook up with every form of strength that I can use. Not to worry, I won’t act rashly. If I’m going to pull off something big, I’ll inform you beforehand.”
