Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The intense excitement and ambiance surrounding the Battle of Five Gods continued to gather momentum under such circumstances. Even the emperor Dai Tianling did not expect such fervor from the public despite being the organizer for the event.

Initially, only sixty percent of the tickets were sold for the second round of the competition. However, the remaining tickets were sold out after the first round of the competition ended. The tickets sold like hot cakes such that the better seats commanded a higher price.

Apart from the empire’s government which received the most gains, the Tang Sect stood to benefit as well.

The Tang Sect had vast business interests in the Star Luo Empire which included the construction of infrastructures, research, and development of soul devices, and consumer sales of soul devices.

Within a day, the Tang Sect’s orders increased by ten percent. It amounted to astronomical profits due to its tremendous sales. Even a large organization like the Spirit Pagoda was envious of the Tang Sect.

Just about everyone was engaged in some form of discussion about the Battle of Five Gods around the street corners and in the alleys. The young maidens in the Star Luo empire, on the other hand, had a different interest in the matter.

When the competition ended, Tang Wulin and Huang Zhengyang got off their mechas, so their true physical appearance was naturally revealed. Tang Wulin had no need for any makeup upon attaining his spiritual domain. Thus, he appeared with his incomparable handsome face before the young maidens of the Star Luo Empire.

With his gentle, crystal clear eyes on his handsome face, and a tall, slim figure, Tang Wulin immediately became a hot topic of discussion amongst the world of young maidens. In addition, he was barely twenty years old but had already acquired exceedingly powerful abilities beyond his age.

Conversations abound on how handsome the Tang Sect’s Sect Master was while the posters featuring Tang Wulin in the Battle of Five Gods were stolen from the streets.

It was interesting to note that the number of females interviewing for positions in the Tang Sect was on the increase.

It was an unexpected phenomenon that took the influential forces in the Star Luo Empire by surprise. At the very least, the newly-appointed Tang Sect’s Sect Master, Tang Wulin was now well known.

He was just over twenty years old! The age factor made it more shocking. How did this newly-appointed Tang Sect’s Sect Master cultivate to such an extent at such a young age?

Almost all the Tang Sect’s previous rulers were Hyper Douluos. It was the foundation to its existence for thousands of years and the secret which contributed to the Tang Sect being the number one sect on the continent. However, there were only a handful of Tang Sect’s Sect Masters who could attain Tang Wulin’s achievement at his age in the history of the Tang Sect.

The two people with the most detailed recordings in the history of the Tang Sect were the founder and its resurgence leader. Would the presence of such a young and powerful Sect Master in the Tang Sect signify that the Tang Sect was about to regain its glory once again?

There was a lot of hearsay about the Tang Sect’s suppression by the Douluo Federation in the Star Luo Empire which had a negative impact on the Tang Sect. Hence, quite a number of influencers in the empire, particularly in the business sector, underestimated the Tang Sect’s Sect Master upon learning that he was only twenty years old. Yet, after Tang Wulin won the Battle of Five Gods, they reevaluated their views of him.

It was like a silent fermentation process.

“Father.” Dai Yun’er was standing smilingly behind Dai Tianling and massaging his shoulders.

“Wipe that smirk off your face. What are you hiding?” Dai Tianling gave a humph. Even though he had been angry over Dai Yun’er’s suggestion of becoming a concubine the other day, his anger was gone upon seeing his daughter.

Dai Yun’er giggled. “I was just kidding the other day. Don’t be angry. How could your daughter be willing to be someone else’s concubine?”

Dai Tianling calmed down at once upon hearing her. “That’s better. Tell me, what were you trying to do when you said those words the other day?”

Dai Yun’er spoke, “Father, tell me then, is Tang Wulin truly an outstanding man? I bet you didn’t expect today’s result, right?”

Dai Tianling’s expression changed a little for, as the emperor, he could not lie. He nodded and spoke, “He’s truly capable. Otherwise, how could I accept him as my son-in-law? The only thing is the scoundrel doesn’t know how to appreciate a favor. Humph!”

Dai Yun’er chuckled softly. She said, “Father, don’t be angry. I’ve been acquainted with Tang Wulin for quite some time. Actually, I understand him pretty well. I know the person whom he loves. There seems to be some conflict between them. It’s not appropriate to be separated no matter how profound their love is! Thus, I still stand a chance. I don’t believe in the saying that it’s wrong for a woman to pursue a man. Father, if I manage to keep him here, do you think that the entire Tang Sect will favor us? Besides, his performance today has gained the approval of our people.”

“How are you going to make him stay?” Dai Tianling turned his head to take a quick glance of his daughter.

Dai Yun’er spoke softly, “I’ll need your help to create that opportunity for me then. A person will be more relaxed and less vigilant when he is most proud of himself.”

“What are you planning to do, little girl? Don’t you be doing something that embarrasses you.” Dai Tianling had a bad feeling about this.

Dai Yun’er’s charming face blushed scarlet. “Father, if one is unwilling to part with the shoes on his feet, how can one trap a wolf? If one is unwilling to part with one’s daughter, how can one trap a...”

“Quiet! You’re talking nonsense. Dai Yun’er, I’m warning you that you’re the princess of the Star Luo Empire. The reputation of the royal household is of utmost importance at all times. There’s no need to talk about anything else. Leave.” Dai Tianling was truly infuriated. Dai Tianling could tell that his precious daughter had the intention to take the crooked path!

Dai Yun’er pouted her lips in grief. “Father doesn’t love Yun’er anymore.”

Dai Tianling spoke in rage, “It’s precisely because I’ve pampered you too much that you’re now behaving as such. Leave, I don’t want to see you anymore. I’m warning you. If you do anything shameful, don’t blame me for not taking our father-daughter relationship into consideration.”

Dai Yun’er was stunned for a moment. Large drops of tears streamed down her face. Her father had never disciplined her with such brusqueness before.

Dai Tianling’s heart immediately softened upon seeing her cry. He was about to say something when Dai Yun’er who was sobbing profusely rushed outside. She had only one thought on her mind at the moment. ‘Father doesn’t love me anymore, so Yun’er can only depend on herself now.’

Out of anger, Dai Tianling grabbed the writing brush washer on the table. He was about to toss it but stopped short upon seeing the delicate and beautiful pattern on it. Instead, he gave a humph in rage and muttered to himself, “It’s all the fault of that rogue, Tang Wulin. Hmm. I’ll make sure the following competitions will be unpleasant for him. Otherwise, it won’t do justice to my anger.”

‘Tomorrow will be the day to make him pay!”

The Battle of Five Gods, second round, a spirit soul battle.

Early in the morning, Tang Wulin felt his essence, energy, and spirit had already reached their peaks when he awakened from his meditation. He felt refreshed and alive as if there had been a major breakthrough in his cultivation base.

How could Tang Wulin not feel pride from his victory in the mecha battle yesterday? He had racked his brain to fight against Huang Zhengyang, all the while thinking strenuously for an opportunity to attack.

He dared not miss any minute detail while looking to express his dominance simultaneously.

He had requested the Smiley Face Douluo to seek the pillar of the empire, Huang Zhengyang. He would like to fight Huang Zhengyang again to assess his true fighting capacity when he was cladded in the divine mecha. Being able to withstand and experience a more stressful situation would certainly benefit him.

After having groomed himself, Tang Wulin walked out of his room and headed to the canteen. Along the way, the Tang Sect’s disciples would greet him with a respectful smile on their faces.

Initially, there were not that many people who were acquainted with the Tang Sect. Moreover, he was not that popular. At present, the situation was different. Yesterday’s victory did not only belong to him but to the Tang Sect as well! All the Tang Sect’s disciples felt immense honor after the victory.

In the Battle of Five Gods, one must fight alone in the enemy’s land!

How could the people not idolize him for such a heroic undertaking?
