Chapter 654 - Shush! (1/2)
Tang Wulin turned back into the spirited handsome boy that he was as his claws and scales disappeared. He looked up at the stands and put a finger to his lips. “Shhhh!”
Then he smiled and got off the stage. You can insult me all you want; I'll shut you up with the results.
The audience burst into an uproar.
“Who the fu*k do you think you are?!”
“This is the Star Luo Empire! Go back to your s.h.i.+thole country where you belong!”
“Did n.o.body teach you any manners?!”
They had thought their boos had intimidated Tang Wulin when he first entered the stage, as he had made no response. They had never expected him to strike back in this way.
Dai Tianling's face darkened.
En Ci was not here today; the emperor was being accompanied by several well-renowned old soul masters in the Star Luo Empire. “Talk about arrogance,” one of them snorted.
He was right; Tang Wulin's behavior had been arrogant. But it was them who had left him no choice. What had the Shreak Academy team done to deserve all this verbal abuse? The people here had taken to hating them just because they were outsiders.
It was not appropriate for a delegate to have behaved like that, and he had set a cla.s.sic example of how not to promote peace between the two continents, but no one from the delegation – including the leader – considered Tang Wulin's behavior wrong, because he had defended the honor of the Douluo Continent.
With a faint smile on his face, Tang Wulin strutted back to the waiting area, deaf to the insults being fired at him. I made it to the next round! He looked to Long Yue, lips curving up in a smirk.
Long Yue smirked back, giving Tang Wulin a thumbs-up before turning it into a thumbs-down.
Tang Wulin grinned, revealing his white teeth, and sat down.
“That kid is too c.o.c.ky, Boss,” said a young man sitting beside Long Yue. “I never thought Sima Xian would lose so easily,”
Long Yue snorted. “Tang Wulin's bloodline suppressed his, most likely. But he is strong, that's for sure. Anyone who says otherwise is a fool.”
Dai Yun'er turned to gaze at Tang Wulin. Can I beat him? Was that his full power? Although he's just a four-ringed soul master like me, he's unmistakably a formidable opponent. The more she knew about him, the more she wanted to know; the princess was curious by nature.
Dai Yueyan nudged his sister. “Never let your guard down when you fight him. Go all out from the very beginning and take him down. Don't give him any opportunity.”
“I won't. Don't worry, Fourth Brother. I'll beat him!” Dai Yun'er said, shaking her little fist.
Dai Yueyan smiled. She is even more talented than I am, and Tang Wulin's strength won't do him any good against her.
They had to put the compet.i.tion on hold while having the stage fixed.
