Chapter 1113: Progression to Soul Sage! (1/2)

He had always thought that she was unwilling to be with her due to some kind of threat that she was facing, but during that recent battle against the abyssal plane, he wasn't the one who had saved everyone; it was her!

With her powers and aptitude, what could possibly pose a threat to her? Even though Tang Wulin had only been awake for a very short time, it had already dawned on him that Gu Yuena's situation was far more complex than he had imagined. All he wanted to do now was to find her and ascertain the situation.

Hence, he had to go and search for her. Only after receiving an answer from her in person could he lay these feelings to rest.

Zhang Huanyun yelled in an enraged voice, ”Tang Wulin, do you even know what you're saying? You are now Blood Dragon and a vice-legion commander. Your reputation and influence are virtually equal to ours, and the entire legion will be yours in the future! All of our troops look up to you, and the seal on the abyssal plane has been strengthened, so the threat has been temporarily eradicated; this is the perfect opportunity for you to cultivate and develop, yet you're telling me that you want to quit?”

Tang Wulin remained silent with his head lowered.

The more Zhang Huanyun ranted, the angrier he became. He pointed at Cao Dezhi, and continued, ”For your sake, Blood One requested me to lend you the Blood God Legion's assistance in reviving Shrek Academy if we can completely eradicate the threat of the abyssal plane someday. What are you doing quitting on us now? Are you going to revive the academy? On your own? Don't think that you can accomplish such a feat just because you managed to kill a few abyssal emperors. You were relying heavily on the planar power of the Blood God Array; without it, you're just a Soul Emperor.”

”Soul Sage, now,” Cao Dezhi corrected in an indifferent voice.

Soul Sage? Zhang Huanyun faltered slightly upon hearing this, and Tang Wulin also raised his head again.

Soul Sage? Me?

Before he had a chance to say anything, Zhang Huanyun continued in his furious rant. ”So what? You think a Soul Sage is going to be enough to take down all of those bastards who destroyed Shrek Academy? What do you expect to be able to do on your own? Go on then, tell us why you're quitting!”

Zhang Huanyun wore an expression that was a combination of rage and disappointment.

In contrast, Tang Wulin had a rather peculiar look on his face. He couldn't just tell them that he was going to search for his girlfriend!

”Does it have something to do with the woman that appeared at the end?” Cao Dezhi immediately spotted the crux of the issue.

Tang Wulin hesitated momentarily, but still nodded in the end.

Cao Dezhi's brows furrowed slightly. ”Who is she?”

A wry smile appeared on Tang Wulin's face. ”She's my lover, but even I didn't know that she possessed such abilities. She's a disciple of the Spirit Pagoda, and I want to find her so I can ask her what's going on.”

”She's from the Spirit Pagoda?” Both Zhang Huanyun and Cao Dezhi's expressions changed slightly upon hearing this.

At the time, Tang Wulin was clearly about to be overpowered, and it was that woman who had saved the day. She had even taken over control of the Blood God Array from Blood One, and that couldn't just be accomplished through power alone; one had to be able to draw upon the laws of heaven and earth to accomplish that. They had analyzed what had happened after the event, and their conclusion was that no human could've been able to achieve that! The only explanation was that she was a god, but how could there possibly be gods on the Douluo Continent?

Zhang Huanyun's brows furrowed tightly. ”What are you going to ask her when you find her? Do you know that the Spirit Pagoda...” His voice suddenly trailed off here.

Tang Wulin nodded in response. ”I know that the Spirit Pagoda most likely played a hand in the destruction of the academy.”

”And you're still going to go there?”

Tang Wulin insisted, ”I can't get over something like this unless I find out the truth. Rest assured, I'll be careful and make sure I don't expose my identity to anyone.”

”Rest assured my arse! You're our only answer to the abyssal plane, and you expect us just to not worry about you? You didn't get killed by those bastards from the abyssal plane, but you could easily end up being killed by us humans if you rush off to the Spirit Pagoda! No! I won't allow it! You're not leaving no matter what, and that's an order!” Zhang Huanyun said in a vicious manner.

A wry smile appeared on Tang Wulin's face. Did that mean that he could only sneak out of the legion base? In that case, he would be a deserter.

Right at this moment, Cao Dezhi suddenly interjected, ”Let him go.”

Tang Wulin's eyes lit up as he raised his head to look at him.
