Tang Wulin said, “I’ll leave in a few days. Before I leave, I wish to be able to spar with the seniors in the Star Luo Empire. I’ve already invited senior Huang Zhengyang to spar with mechas. I’ve also invited Senior Chu Tiange to spar with weapons. If Brother Long is interested, why don’t we have a sparring session as well before I leave?”

Long Yue’s eyes beamed. “Sure. That’s just what I’d hoped.”

The Battle of Five Gods had been greatly beneficial to Tang Wulin. He himself had not expected that he would improve this quickly under heavy pressure.

In his battles with the pillar of the empire Huang Zhengyang and the Weeping Blood Douluo Chu Tiange, he felt as if they had not fought to their hearts’ content. He wanted to spar with them again before he left to solidify his gains and to experience his own improvements at a deeper level.

If he did not have the platform of the Battle of Five Gods, it would be difficult for him to find experts like them to challenge. However, now that he had this opportunity and he could directly contact them, it was only natural that he did not let it go.

With the addition of Long Yue, the effects would be greater. Long Yue was already at the rank of a Title Douluo. In terms of martial soul, his Mountain Dragon King martial soul was superior to En Ci’s Light Holy Dragon martial soul. In the Star Luo Empire’s new generation, he was the one that had the greatest chance of becoming a Limit Douluo.

When he fought with Long Yue back then, Tang Wulin had been under immense pressure. He only managed to defeat him with Gu Yuena’s help in the end.

Although he was already different from back then, the same was also true for Long Yue.

Before he left, he would have these three sparring sessions. That way, he could be in secluded cultivation all the way back to the Federation. He believed that he would have something more to gain.

At the moment, Tang Wulin’s Body Sect Innate Secret Technique was complete and his soul power cultivation base had also improved. He even received the Holy Spirit Douluo’s holy blessing and activated his three-word battle armor’s Blood Golden Dragon Domain.

Compared to when he first came there, he seemed like a different person altogether.

Before this, he had only managed to fight against a Title Douluo by relying on his various abilities. Now, he was already capable of dominating many Hyper Douluo-ranked experts. At the very least, he stood a chance against them.

More importantly, his cultivation base was still at the rank of eight rings. When he was at the rank of a Title Douluo, he would have another chance to improve substantially.

Tang Wulin had already made plans for the return trip. He would busy himself with a series of sparring sessions while at sea. He improved himself by enduring pressure. Hence, the same method could be applied to his companions, and he would be the pressure that they would have to endure. The return trip would take two to three months. That would be enough.

Naturally, he had not told his companions about this “good news”. He did not want to affect their current mood.

Long Yue and Tang Wulin emptied their cups and set a time for their sparring session.

Everyone had three drinks and just when Tang Wulin thought the night’s feast would end, Dai Yun’er stood up. She had been sitting opposite his seat and her eyes had never left him.

Tang Wulin had actually felt her staring the whole time. Her gaze was scorching hot, as if there was an actual flame burning his body. It gave Tang Wulin a sensation that was difficult to describe. Hence, when Dai Yun’er moved, he had felt it immediately. He instinctively cast his gaze on her.

“Brother Three, I’ll give you a toast as well. Congratulations on winning the Battle of Five Gods.” Dai Yun’er walked over with two cups in her hands. She gave one cup to Tang Wulin while she kept the other.

Today, she was wearing palace clothes. Her long hair was combed neatly, not a strand of hair out of place. Her slender neck was supple and fair. Her dignified and beautiful appearance made her look like a different person.

Tang Wulin managed a smile. “Thank you, Princess.”

Dai Yun’er looked at him with hidden bitterness. “I called you Brother Three, but you insist on calling me Princess. Do you dislike me that much? Even if you don’t like me that way, can’t we at least be friends?”

“I’m sorry, Yun’er. That’s not what I meant. I’m just…” Tang Wulin was not frightened when he had to face a great army or the Battle of Five Gods, but he was slightly flustered at this moment.

He felt slightly guilty for what had happened to Dai Yun’er. She had always been good to him and had made her love clear from the beginning. A highborn girl who was also the emperor’s most beloved princess, she definitely had her pride. However, she had already been rejected by Tang Wulin twice. The second time even happened inside this very palace. He could only imagine the impact this had on her.

Tang Wulin looked at Dai Yun’er’s big and beautiful eyes and was truly at a loss.

“Mmm, as long as you’re still willing to call me Yun’er. Brother Three, maybe we won’t meet each other again after today’s farewell. I’ll toast to you, for smooth sailing and good fortune.” As she said this, she raised her cup.

When Tang Wulin saw that she did not intend to talk much, he was immediately relaxed. At the same time, he could feel the burning gaze of Crown Prince Dai Yueyan nearby. His eyes were not friendly at all.

He completely understood Dai Yueyan’s feelings. If his own younger sister was rejected by someone else like that, he would have clobbered the person a long time ago. Also, it was not as if Dai Yueyan did not want to hit him, but just that he would not be able to beat him.

They downed the wine in their cups in one go. Dai Yun’er did not say much. She only bowed slightly toward Tang Wulin. After completing the standard palace curtsies, she went back to her seat delicately and gracefully.

From that moment on, her gaze did not fall onto Tang Wulin again. It seemed that the cup of wine had finalized everything between them and put an end to all that was in the past.

Tang Wulin felt slightly upset, but he was also relaxed. In his heart, he wished the princess well.

Dai Tianling seemed to be in high spirits tonight. Toward the end of the feast, the emperor was having difficulty standing up straight.

“Sect Master Tang, let’s end the feast with this. I’m sorry for the poor hospitality.” He sighed. “How I wish that you’d really stay in Star Luo! Sect Master Tang, hah…”

After a few consecutive sighs, Crown Prince Dai Yueyan hastily brought his obviously drunk father out. The feast had ended on a wonderful note.

The Smiley Face Douluo came to Tang Wulin’s side. He said with a grin, “Sect Master, it seems that you can return to the Federation with your success. Let’s take our leave as well.”

Tang Wulin nodded. They stood up, tipsy from all the drinking.

They went out of the palace doors. A chilly breeze caressed their faces blissfully. A faint smile surfaced on Tang Wulin’s face. He looked up to the starry skies and his eyes sparkled like the stars reflected in them.

The Tang Sect’s designated cars were already waiting for them outside. Tang Wulin and Hu Jie went into one car while his companions divided themselves into two others. The three elongated Tang Sect soul cars drove out of the palace slowly and headed toward the Tang Sect’s headquarters.

It was already dark outside, and many shops on the streets were closed.

There was some distance between the palace and the Tang Sect’s headquarters. With few vehicles and just a small number of pedestrians on the road, they slowly gained speed as the cars travelled.

Tang Wulin and the Smiley Face Douluo closed their eyes and rested their spirits in their car. Given their physical conditions, alcohol would not affect them very much.

Tang Wulin’s car was at the front. As it passed a junction, the traffic light suddenly changed colors, and the two cars following behind had no choice but to stop.

Tang Wulin’s car at the front managed to speed past the traffic light and drove farther away from the two cars behind it.

Just when the first car was more than three hundred meters from the two cars at the back, it suddenly began vibrating. Without warning there was a loud explosion.

A powerful red light instantly enveloped the first car. With the sound of an explosion, the red sphere of light shot toward the skies.

After the cacophony, many of the large buildings in the area started crumbling. The terrifying shockwave had seemingly shattered all the glass within a few hundred meters.

The sound of the explosion had acted as a wake-up call for the entire city. A deafening siren rang out immediately.

Before anyone could notice, the skies had turned gray, and red light was cast upon it. The gray color spread across the land. It seemed as if all sound had been silenced by the blanket of gray.

The intense sound of the explosion could not travel farther, blocked by the gray color. As it spread, the entire world turned gray.

The earth shook and the soil was turned. Crooked figures started sprouting out from the ground and staggered in all directions.

Those were countless skeletons, zombies, and some strange-looking creatures. They were entirely covered in gray. Within a short minute, the flourishing Star Luo City seemed to have turned into a city of the dead.

Even the ball of fire that erupted from the explosion was dyed the same color after it came into contact with the gray hue. The sounds of the explosions died completely in the next instant.
