Chapter 935: Astonishment (1/2)

The burly major general burst into laughter. ”Great! He must be quite a bright young talent to receive such high praise from Little Xue. Let's skip this and watch the footage of his trial instead.”

Long Yuxue stepped forward and brought up another image on the screen.

Light flashed, and the scenes depicted now were of her and Tang Wulin in that simulated world.

Long Tianwu turned to glance at his daughter with a slightly peculiar look on his face. He'd heard from his wife that their daughter had overseen this newbie's trial in person, and had given him the highest praise. Only the newbies that were given such glowing praise were worthy of having so many high-ranking military officials assess their trial footage to determine their grade.

The image began to change, and Long Yuxue and Tang Wulin jumped into the abyss one after another.

Tang Wulin walked up ahead with purple light occasionally flashing through his eyes.

”He was recommended here by the Tang Sect, but he comes from Shrek Academy? Looks like there were survivors from Shrek Academy after all,” Long Tianwu mused as his eyes narrowed slightly.

”That does appear to be so,” Major General Xu Weitao nodded, and said, ”Who would've thought that such a major disaster would befall Shrek City? After we received the news, it took a lot of convincing to prevent the Shrek Academy alumni among our ranks from storming back to Shrek City. Looks like the continent is going to be plunged into turmoil soon.”

Long Tianwu nodded in response. ”Things definitely aren't as simple as they seem, and in my opinion, the military isn't entirely innocent. Our legion commander has already gone to the military headquarters; he should bring back some more specific details for us. I hope the military wasn't actively involved in this. Otherwise, I would be severely disappointed. How could they weaken the continent like this by targeting Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect?”

Xu Weitao sighed, ”There must be some people of the opinion that our Douluo Continent is already powerful enough for global conquest. Shrek Academy has always been a neutral entity, so it'll always be a thorn in the side for the overly ambitious figures on the continent. No matter what happens, this can't just be allowed to pass. We'll wait for a verdict from the legion commander.”

”Hmm?” Just as the two major generals were speaking, a startling turn of events had already unfolded within the image on the screen.

Long Tianwu was the one who had uttered that faint cry of surprise as Long Yuxue was suddenly running toward the center of the cave. Wasn't she artificially increasing the difficulty of this trail?

They were then greeted by the sight of Tang Wulin following close on her heels, waving his staff through the air and killing one four-clawed bat after another.

”He has brilliant melee combat skills that are enhanced by the Tang Sect's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, and he's very calm and steadfast. It's quite remarkable that a 21-year-old like him is able to do all of this. On top of that, he possesses immense strength. He's only using a metal staff, but he's killing those four-clawed bats with ease. With the skills that he's currently displaying, he's at least good enough to become a second-rank soldier.”

Long Yuxue didn't say anything, and the image changed again as the six-clawed bat emerged before pouncing directly toward Tang Wulin.

Serious expressions appeared on the faces of Long Tianwu and Xu Weitao in response. Six-clawed bats were more than 10 times more powerful than their four-clawed counterparts, and they also possessed soundwave attacks that had caused a lot of trouble for the Blood God Legion in the past. Wide-range attacks like those were very annoying under many circumstances.

In the next instant, Long Tianwu's expression stiffened slightly as he witnessed Tang Wulin catching Long Yuxue in a tight embrace before destroying the six-clawed bat.

Long Yuxue blushed slightly as she explained, ”He possessed immense spiritual power, and he used that to protect me from the soundwave attacks.”

Long Tianwu didn't say anything. For him to be able to kill a six-clawed bat with just his strength alone definitely placed him among the best newbies that he'd ever seen.

However, the events that unfolded next gradually cast them into a higher and higher degree of astonishment.

After the three six-clawed bats fell by Tang Wulin's hands, the military officials sitting behind the two major generals were beginning to rise to their feet, and loud conversations quickly rang out.

Immediately thereafter, Tang Wulin fell backward along with Long Yuxue before lashing out with a kick that could only be described as the perfect culmination of exemplary technique and terrifying power. The giant snake was sent flying as a result, and two of the senior colonels present also couldn't help but rise to their feet.

”Nicely done!”

”Is that a Ba'an? Why would a Ba'an appear in a trial like this? The difficulty is way too high! What a shame, I wanted to see more of what the little guy was capable of.”

Even Long Tianwu and Xu Weitao's brows had furrowed slightly at the sight of the gigantic paw that had just appeared.

”It's not over yet, Superiors,” Long Yuxue couldn't help but interject.

It still wasn't over? But this was a Ba'an!

They were then greeted by the sight of Tang Wulin besting Ba'an in melee combat. This was the purest clash of strength, but what were those golden rings of light?

After the Ba'an was pinned to the rock face by the Golden Dragon Spear, the entire battle room had fallen completely silent.

He had no access to his martial soul or soul power, but he'd managed to kill a Ba'an in a one-on-one battle. He didn't even have access to his battle armor or a mecha! Had he achieved all of this with just his strength and bloodline power?

It would be a severe understatement to refer to him as a prodigy at this point!

There were very few people present, even among the senior colonels, who could accomplish the same feat.
