Chapter 410 - Unconcious (1/2)

Since they couldn't separate Gu Yue from Tang Wulin, Feng Wuyu, Zhuo s.h.i.+, and Holy Spirit Douluo Yali ended up bringing them back to the working student dormitory in one bundle.

“Yali, are their bodies okay?” Zhuo s.h.i.+ asked.

The Holy Spirit Douluo shook her head. “There's no real problem with their bodies. They're just exhausted. That transformation was too much for them to bear, so they'll need time to recover. Truth be told... their soul fusion skill is quite strange. Generally speaking, a soul fusion skill can be used when both soul masters have at least three rings. But it looks like the soul fusion skill of these two is far more demanding. Or maybe it would be more accurate to say that it's exceedingly powerful. It simply consumed too much of their energy. Fortunately, they have good foundations, so they just need time to rest and recover now. They'll need a full month of rest.”

“One month?” Hearing this from Shrek Academy's most powerful healer left Feng Wuyu and Zhuo s.h.i.+ flabbergasted. The value of a soul fusion skill that required a month's rest after using it was dubious. However, this also served as proof to just how overbearing Tang Wulin and Gu Yue's soul fusion skill was.

“They didn't actually complete their soul fusion skill either,” Yali said. “Yet I felt my heart race when they used it. The more compatible two people are, the more powerful their soul fusion skill is. Even if we searched all of history, it would be hard to find more than a handful of people whose fusion rate exceeded eighty percent. The highest fusion rate ever recorded is that of Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao and his wife, Dragon b.u.t.terfly Douluo Tang Wutong. They both had twin martial souls that enabled them to use a total of four soul fusion skills. They are praised as the strongest duo in all of history. It's been said that their fusion rate even approached one hundred percent compatibility!

“Some historians whose research focused on Huo Yuhao and his wife stated that any soul fusion skill capable of reaching one hundred percent fusion rate would be considered a divine fusion. If both soul masters were at a sufficiently high enough level, using such a soul fusion skill would allow them to exhibit power on par with a G.o.d! Although I only have an inkling of a suspicion, the soul fusion skill of these two children might be on par with a divine fusion soul skill. I can't imagine any other reason why their soul fusion skill would be so powerful. We'll need to keep a close eye on them. If my suspicion turns out to be correct, then Shrek Academy will have picked up a pair of real treasures.”

Feng Wuyu and Zhuo s.h.i.+ looked at each other in dismay, both sharing a bitter smile.

It was impossible to examine Tang Wulin and Gu Yue's soul fusion skill at the moment. One use alone left them bedridden for a month. This was too high a price to ask the two children to pay. They were in the spring of their youth. The amount they could grow in a month was enormous.

☀

Blood essence bubbled, surging forth like a raging river. Tang Wulin opened his eyes to find himself within his spiritual world. It stretched out before him like a sea of stars. Countless specks of gold floated, suspended in s.p.a.ce. The golden hall from before was nowhere to be seen.

Then he looked up. To his astonishment, an enormous golden dragon floated above him. It was too large for him to even fathom. Its body seemed to stretch on forever. There were eighteen rings of light around the dragon's body. Three glowed a soft blue, while the rest were a blazing red.

Is this the Golden Dragon King sealed within my body? Those rings of light must be the seals then, right?

Tang Wulin began to collect his thoughts, but he couldn't quite recall what happened before he woke up in this spiritual world. All he remembered was the warmth of Gu Yue's body when she hugged him, his blood essence surging with power, and himself subconsciously unleas.h.i.+ng a punch. His mind had already been a haze by then. The last thing he could recall was the moment when the translucent scales began covering his body.

Everything after that was blank.

“Old Tang, are you here?” Tang Wulin shouted. Maybe Old Tang can explain what happened.

However, only silence answered him. Old Tang was nowhere to be found.

The golden dragon floating above Tang Wulin suddenly stirred. It raised its head and unleashed a heaven-rending roar. A wave of dizziness struck Tang Wulin, stars dancing in his vision. Then the scene before him blurred and changed. He saw an enormous dragon with a seven-colored aura floating in midair. Countless beasts on the ground below it and in the air around it roared in respect, shaking Tang Wulin down to his very core. The horde of beasts then began rus.h.i.+ng in one direction like a giant wave.

A thundering voice boomed in Tang Wulin's head, so loud that it felt like a spiritual attack.

“My fate is mine to decide! Not the heavens!”

Then he lost consciousness again.

Some time later, Tang Wulin woke up, the scene of the dragon and the horde of beasts still fresh in his mind. Simply recalling that scene made his heart race.

He groaned in pain. His eyes shot open. A familiar ceiling told him he was back in the working student dormitory. He tried to sit up but didn't have the strength. His head immediately fell back onto his pillow.

Then he noticed a warmth pressing against his body. He heard the gentle sound of breathing. Looking down, he was stunned to find a pair of arms wrapped around him.

Huh? Is that… Gu Yue?

“Ow! My head hurts…” Tang Wulin leaned back and finally noticed that Gu Yue was embracing him from behind. Both of them were still wearing the clothes they had battled in. He tried to pry her arms from him gently. There's no other way!

“Don't move...” A dissatisfied voice grumbled into his ear. An instant later, he felt the arms around him tighten their hold. He felt like he was being constricted by a pair of snakes. Throwing caution to the wind, he hastily separated himself from her. That was when Gu Yue finally woke up.
