Chapter 607 - Second Piece of Battle Armor (2/2)

Ye Xinglan stood to the side, watching as Tang Wulin equipped his right arm fully with battle armor. She nodded in satisfaction. The process proved successful and now Tang Wulin’s aura was even stronger.

When Ye Xinglan had first met Tang Wulin, she regarded him as beneath her, not even worth sparing a glance. Having come from Shrek Academy, she had held the mind set that only the greatest of geniuses were worthy of her attention. However, when they met again later, his tenacity and tireless efforts left a deep impression on her. The scene of him recklessly sacrificing himself to protect his comrades was seared into her memory most of all. A comrade, no, a friend like this was absolutely worthy of trust.

He was someone she could trust her back to.

The golden light around Tang Wulin gradually dimmed. He flexed his arm and moved it around a bit, a huge grin on his face. He could feel explosive power bursting within his arms. He opened his hand and transformed it into a claw. The claw perfectly fit into the armor and transformed into a weapon of slaughter. Without Tang Wulin even urging his soul power, a faint golden edge stretched out three inches from his claw.

It was due to the keen edge of his golden dragon claw that Tang Wulin had been able to defeat Ling Wuxie. Without it, he wouldn’t have been able to create such deep gashes in Ling Wuxie’s battle armor. The dragon claw’s crushing effect was growing stronger along with him.

He shifted his gaze to his left hand. Pondered. With the current number of Golden Dragon King seals he had broken, his right arm, shoulders, and chest would be covered in golden scales. If he broke more seals, then the transformation would likely extend to his left arm as well. When that happened, his left hand would probably be able to transform into a claw like his right. Once he gained a second claw, his strength would increase by leaps and bounds.

If he desired, he could break the fifth seal right now. But he wanted to delay doing that and buy himself more time for the later seals.

However, now that he had gained another piece of battle armor, Tang Wulin’s thirst for power reappeared. He couldn’t help but feel tempted to break the fifth seal immediately.

“How do you feel?” Ye Xinglan asked.

Tang Wulin smiled. “Amazing! It’s perfect!”

The starlight faded from the room as the battle armor melted into Tang Wulin’s body, settling into his right shoulder. The greatest benefit of using spirit alloys to craft one-word battle armor was that, as long as its foundation was strong, it could be upgraded into two-word battle armor in the future. Furthermore, he wouldn’t have to store it in a storage soul device. With it fused into his body, he could equip it and unequip it in an instant.

“Xinglan, thank you. I’m going to go then,” Tang Wulin said.

“Wulin, is Gu Yue alright?”

Tang Wulin was taken aback by her words, staring blankly at Ye Xinglan for a moment. “Huh? Do you know something I don’t?”

Ye Xinglan furrowed her brow. “It looks to me that she’s been in a bad mood lately. I often see her staring blankly into the air. I have no idea what’s going on in her mind. Maybe she’s having regrets about joining the Spirit Pagoda since she can’t become one of the Shrek Seven Monsters now? When you’re not busy, spend some time with her. We can all tell she treats you specially.”

“Okay.” Tang Wulin nodded. A soft sigh escaped his lips. “I don’t know what she’s thinking either. But she promised me that she’ll at least enter the inner court with us. Really though, so what if she’s part of the Spirit Pagoda? We still need to graduate together. Afterward, no matter where we end up, as long as we remember our bonds of friendship, the years we spent growing up together, then nothing else matters! Soul technology is so advanced nowadays anyway. We’ll easily be able to call and visit each other. Don’t worry. I’ll talk with her and straighten her out.”

“That’s good then.” Ye Xinglan nodded. “What about you then? What are your plans for the future? Are you going to stay at Shrek forever?”
