Chapter 1049: Chapter 1049: Back then, it was here that your grandfather taught me
Tree Elder raised his hand, and Elder Yi was somewhat bewildered, having not fully recovered from his emotions yet. His gaze, however, turned to Tang Wulin.
When he saw Tang Wulin raise his hand, he almost blindly followed suit.
The decision was made.
“Next, we’ll devise a detailed plan. Just like that,” decreed the Sea God Pavilion Master.
The Sea God’s Pavilion meeting concluded, and Tang Wulin stood up, nodded towards everyone present as a gesture, then walked toward the stairs. Passing by Lan Xuanyu, he lifted his hand to clasp Xuanyu’s shoulder, taking him upstairs along with him.
Watching them leave, the middle-aged man sitting next to the Pavilion Master smiled and said, “I can feel it, a new era is about to dawn.”
“Hmm, I hope so. I can finally lay down this responsibility,” the Pavilion Master said somewhat absently.
For so many years, she had maintained her composure until that guy returned, shattering the tranquility of her heart. She vividly remembered the feeling, akin to seeing a ghost, when she first saw him. Looking back now, it indeed seemed quite extraordinary!
Lan Xuanyu followed Tang Wulin back to the room. After closing the door, Tang Wulin said to him, “How much longer can you stay at the academy?”
Xuanyu replied, “Not too long. To maintain Xiuxiu’s identity, the sooner we return the better. However, Sky Dragon City will certainly be in disarray due to the Sky Domination Clan’s affair, so it shouldn’t be a problem for a short while. I plan to set off after three to five days.”
Tang Wulin nodded and said, “Time is a bit tight. I’ll make sure to help you adapt to the changes in your body during this period. Come on.”
As he spoke, he swung his right hand and Lan Xuanyu felt the space around him shimmer with a golden light. In the next instant, the scene before his eyes had changed.
This was a pitch-black hall surrounded by towering pillars faintly radiating a golden glow. At the far end was a throne, standing empty. The entire space exuded an intangible sense of oppression.
Tang Wulin stood not far in front of him, also looking at the space, and he sighed lightly. “Back then, it was through the projection of divine consciousness that your grandfather left behind a clone, Old Tang, to teach me his skills. Now, I will use my divine consciousness to simulate this place for your cultivation. This is my divine consciousness space; you can act freely here. Attack me. Use all the abilities you have. Feel the changes within yourself.”
“Okay,” Xuanyu nodded.
He didn’t immediately attack Tang Wulin but stood there, calming himself down.
Adjusting his Soul Power, his Spiritual Power, and fusing his spirit, essence, and energy into one, he silently sensed the changes in the Dragon Core and the transformation of his body due to the influence of his bloodline and Soul Power.
During an earlier power confrontation with Qian Lei, he had already realized he had become completely different. Breaking through to the Sixth Ring had lifted his strength to an unprecedented state.
His gaze gradually solidified, and he lifted his left hand. One by one, silver scales rapidly emerged, covering his left arm. A faint rainbow glow also began to twine around his body.
From beneath his feet, rings of Soul Rings rose. If any Soul Master could see the Soul Rings on his body at that moment, they would undoubtedly exclaim in shock. Because those were unmistakably orange-gold Soul Rings.
Orange-gold represents Soul Rings of ferocious beasts over two hundred thousand years old. Bai Xiuxiu and Lan Mengqin both possess such Soul Rings. Ever since they merged with the Jade Swan and the Abyssal Demon Dragon, all their subsequent Soul Rings have been gifted by these two once peerless ferocious beasts, hence they are all of orange-gold existence. The abilities of these two ferocious beasts were far more than ten. Each orange-gold Soul Ring could even carry three soul skills.
For Lan Xuanyu, although the colors of his Soul Rings had always been changing, the number of soul skills hadn’t changed, including no alterations to the soul skills themselves. The only change was the potency of the soul skills.
Various element controls had grown from the original 10 year Soul Ring level to now surpassing the two hundred thousand year level, which was a transformation akin to shedding the old and taking on a new capability.
And his right hand wielded an almost crazily powerful strength.
With his left hand clenched into a fist, the air around suddenly grew scorching hot. Centered around Lan Xuanyu’s body, the surroundings instantly turned fiery red. The intense heat burst forth, transforming into magma plumes that charged directly towards Tang Wulin.
Lan Xuanyu’s body then turned a fiery red, and his entire body’s surface appeared as if it were covered with a layer of ruby-like crystal. The surrounding temperature soared to an extremely terrifying level in an instant.
As the magma plume struck Tang Wulin, he merely drew circles with his right hand, and those scorching magma vanished before they could reach him.
Lan Xuanyu was not discouraged. As the magma spewing ceased, it switched to water. Huge water dragons surged up into the sky, lunging straight at Tang Wulin, and where Tang Wulin stood, a column of water burst forth as well. But it simply sprayed outward around his body, failing to shake his form.
Lan Xuanyu’s attacks became unstoppable. Massive meteorites appeared in the sky, hurtling towards Tang Wulin. At the same time, countless green cyclones emerged in the air, wrapping around those meteorites, with fierce flames added to the meteorites.
Wind, fire, earth. The integration of three attributes into a soul skill: Meteor Rain!
Loud booming sounds exploded, making the whole hall tremble slightly. When these three elements fused together, Lan Xuanyu himself felt an exhilarating sensation.
His control over elements had reached the point where it was as easy as moving his own limbs—as if all elements were part of his body. He stood high above, commanding his subjects to attack. These elements naturally matched and fused to form the most suitable attack, launching an offensive towards Tang Wulin.
He had no soul core, only a Dragon Core, but the Dragon Core constantly supplied bloodline energy, translating into Soul Power, transforming into the most pure and massive energy, controlling and attracting elements. He engulfed Tang Wulin in an elemental storm.
Just then, in the midst of that elemental storm, a golden halo quietly surfaced; all roaring stopped in that instant. Lan Xuanyu felt as though a black hole had appeared in that direction, swallowing all the elements he emitted, giving him the sensation of being instantaneously devoured. His body was even drawn forward, staggering a few steps.
Tang Wulin still stood there, still wearing a smile, with everything around him remaining unchanged, as if nothing had happened at all.
“The biggest difference between your element control and Nana’s is that yours is not pure enough. When the intensity of an element reaches a certain level, it’s not about forming it into any shape. You only need the pure element to create the most powerful lethal force. And the purer the element, the easier it is to control and merge,” said Tang Wulin to Lan Xuanyu.
A thought struck Lan Xuanyu, and in the palm of his left hand, a small vortex formed by four basic elements appeared, “Like this?”
Four Elements Storm, the great move that he had used inside the Spirit Pagoda’s spirit ascension platform, which allowed it to grow on its own, almost blew up the platform.
But now, using it again, he felt different. He discovered that he could now control the growth speed and strength of this elemental storm rather than just letting it grow on its own uncontrollably.
The vortex grew larger, quickly expanding beyond a diameter of ten meters. Within the four colors, flickers of lightning appeared.
Tang Wulin nodded with a smile, “Yes, this is a good application of the basic elements. It’s somewhat similar to the lightning tribulation one would face during God Forging. Now it seems that when you reach the rank of a God Rank Blacksmith, you should handle the lightning tribulation better than I did back then. However, the Four Elements Thunder Tribulation is not the strongest. There is also the Seven Elements Thunder Tribulation. On top of the four basic elements, it includes space, light, and darkness.”
