Chapter 646 - Ye Xinglans Decision (2/2)

All news media were rus.h.i.+ng to report on the match; all the negative comments about the Monster Eight Kings were gone. The Monster Academy was being placed on a pedestal again.

Every expert in the soul master community on the Star Luo Continent hailed Long Yue as the most talented soul master this millennium had ever seen. They even believed there was a real possibility that he might become a G.o.d someday, since he was now only 20 years old and all.

…

Tang Wulin was meditating in his room when the knock came at his door. He frowned and stood up to answer it.

“Xinglan?” He looked at her, surprised.

Ye Xinglan stepped inside without waiting for him to invite her in.

“I need to discuss something with you, Captain.”

“What is it?” asked Tang Wulin.

“Lizhi and I have decided to back out of the two-on-two compet.i.tion, and I also want to withdraw from the one-on-ones.”

Tang Wulin didn't understand. “What?! Why?”

“I want to focus all my time and energy on making battle armor for you. I'll try to make as many pieces as I can.”

“No,” Tang Wulin said, “I can't let you give up your chance of winning for my sake.”

Ye Xinglan shook her head. “You have seen Long Yue's power today. He's obviously much stronger than us. I don't want to admit it, but we can't beat him, not with our current battle armor. I know I have the most pieces of battle armor and I'm as strong as you are, but you have something I don't – your bloodline. Although I don't know if it will work on Long Yue as well, you're our only chance. You power is growing fast, and your martial soul has evolved into the Bluesilver Emperor. You never cease to amaze us. If anyone can beat him, it's you.” She paused a moment. “With Li Zhi helping me, I should be able to make several more pieces of battle armor for you.”

Tang Wulin fell silent. He didn't like the idea of his friends sacrificing so much so he could get a slim chance of defeating Long Yue, but in his heart he knew there was no two ways about it. Desperate times call for desperate measures, Tang Wulin thought. Long Yue didn't show his true power while fighting Zhengyu. I'm not sure I'd be able to beat him even if I were a six-ringed Soul Emperor like him.

“Xinglan is right,” Gu Yue said, and walked in and closed the door which Tang Wulin had left open negligently. She walked over to them. “You asked me about the legend of the Golden Dragon King earlier today,” she said to Tang Wulin. “I think now is a good time to tell you.”

“You are wondering if your bloodline can suppress that of Long Yue,” Gu Yue continued, “and if it can't, Xinglan's sacrifice will be all for nothing.”

Tang Wulin nodded. If my bloodline won't work on Long Yue, then I won't let Xinglan back out of her compet.i.tion.

“The Mountain Dragon King was one of the Dragon G.o.d's nine children, but the Golden Dragon King wasn't,” Gu Yue said. “However, it was still closely related to the Dragon G.o.d.”
