Soul Land 3: Legend Of The Dragon King Chapter 1458– Commencement Of The Examinations

The partic.i.p.ants were quite pleased with these privacy measures as no one wanted to expose their soul power ranks prior to the commencement of the elimination matches.

Tang Wulin was situated slightly ahead of the center of the line, and as he made his way forward, the breathtaking image of Gu Yuena still lingered in his mind.

He could sense her, so she definitely also knew that he was here.

A faint smile appeared on Tang Wulin's face.

His objective here was very simple: he was going to use this event set up by the Spirit PaG.o.da against them to officially win the heart of the Silver Dragon Princess. On top of that, he was going to reveal his ident.i.ty once he won the event and announce to the world that the Silver Dragon Princess had been taken by the Tang Sect Master.

That would undoubtedly deal the Spirit PaG.o.da an extremely heavy blow, and he would also be able to officially win the affection of the woman of his dreams. He still didn't know why Gu Yuena refused to be with him, but if it were due to the threat posed by the Spirit PaG.o.da, then he was going to show her that he already possessed the power to protect her.

Not only was he the Tang Sect Master and Sea G.o.d's Pavilion Master, he was a Divine Blacksmith!

From his starting point as a child, he had reached this point in less than 20 years, and he was destined to stand at the pinnacle of the entire continent someday.

After discussing this plan with his seniors of the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, he had received unanimous support. Shrek Academy had already announced its rebuild, and now, it was time for the Tang Sect to also make itself heard.

The extensive promotional efforts made by the Spirit PaG.o.da had created the ideal platform, and it was up to the Tang Sect to take advantage of it. The attention of the entire federation was focused on this event, and it was being broadcasted live by all television stations, but it was yet to be seen who would be benefiting from this widespread attention.

Just as these thoughts were running through Tang Wulin's mind, the young man in front of him suddenly turned around, and asked, "What's your soul power rank, Brother? Why are they even testing our soul power? Didn't they already test this when we registered? Could it be that they're going to raise the minimum threshold to beyond rank 60?"

Tang Wulin shook his head in response. "I'm not sure. It wouldn't be a surprise if they made an adjustment considering the large number of partic.i.p.ants."

The young man standing before him was of a medium build and was quite handsome. However, his aura was rather indistinct, clearly indicating that he had somehow disguised his own cultivation rank. Tang Wulin could only just barely sense that he was at around rank 60 in soul power at most.

The young man smiled, and said, "Nice to meet you, Brother! My name is Lan Fuozi; what's your name?"

Tang Wulin also replied with a smile, "My name is Yu Longyue."

The young man continued, "You still haven't told me what your cultivation rank is, Brother."

Tang Wulin's brows furrowed slightly. "That's a secret."

Seeing as Tang Wulin wasn't going to answer his question, Lan Fuozi merely shrugged and turned back around. Soon, it was his turn to step onto the device.

As he did so, light shone down upon him and enveloped his entire body.

Several seconds later, the light faded, and Lan Fuozi turned around to give Tang Wulin a faint smile before being directed to the next area by a worker.

The worker situated in front of the device then made an inviting hand gesture toward Tang Wulin, who also stepped onto the device.

Gentle light enveloped his body, and he could sense the minute changes in energy taking place within the device.

He could feel soul power gently stimulating his body from all sides, causing his own soul power to react in a certain way. This device clearly took into account all of these reactions to ascertain a Soul Master's cultivation.

Tang Wulin didn't disguise his own soul power rank and allowed the device to conduct the examination as normal.

Several seconds later, the electronic chip being worn on his wrist gently vibrated, and he looked down to discover that the number "10" had appeared on the small screen outside the chip.

10 was a perfect score for a single examination, and a minimum of 60 points had to be scored out of 10 examinations for a pa.s.s; this system was quite similar to Shrek Academy's enrollment examination!

After stepping off the device, Tang Wulin discovered that Lan Fuozi was waiting for him not far away, and the latter quickly waved at him.

Tang Wulin made his way over to him, and Lan Fuozi said in a low voice, "How many points did you get?"

Tang Wulin's brows furrowed slightly, but he still replied, "10."

Lan Fuozi faltered slightly upon hearing this. "10? That's the same as me! Not bad, Brother! Looks like we'll be rivals."

He raised the electronic chip on his wrist for Tang Wulin to see as he spoke, and sure enough, it was displaying the number "10".

Tang Wulin's heart stirred slightly upon seeing this, and he couldn't help but pay more attention to this Lan Fuozi character. If one had to be a t.i.tled Douluo to receive a perfect score, then did this mean that Lan Fuozi was also a t.i.tled Douluo? But his aura didn't seem to be that powerful!

A smug look appeared on Lan Fuozi's face. "You've got some secrets, and so do I. Come on, let's move on to the next examination."

Tang Wulin smiled in response and made an inviting hand gesture.

The second examination also involved a large soul tool, but it was sealed off, so no one could see what was happening inside it from the outside. This soul tool was far larger than the first one, and was the largest among all of the soul tools in the entire venue.

Lan Fuozi looked on with a hint of eagerness in his eyes. "I wonder what this examination is."

Tang Wulin had noticed that two people were tested at a time during this examination, and through the use of his spiritual power, he could sense that they were emerging on the other side before moving on to the third examination.

Even though there was a huge number of partic.i.p.ants, the examinations were very well run, so everything was progressing quite quickly. Soon, it was his and Lan Fuozi's turn, and they just so happened to be a.s.signed as a duo.

As soon as they made their way into the large soul tool, an electronic voice instantly sounded. "This is the speed examination. You'll be pa.s.sing through the pa.s.sageway; try to avoid the attacks from the projections that appear around you as much as possible. There are no patterns to the attacks unleashed by the projections; the less of them you come into the contact with, the higher your score, and vice versa."

Sure enough, there was a pa.s.sageway at the center of the soul tool that was around 30 meters long. There was a partic.i.p.ant up ahead that was just about to undergo the examination, and both Tang Wulin and Lan Fuozi immediately turned their attention toward him.

"Begin!" Following the announcement from the electronic voice, six soul rings instantly rose up from beneath the partic.i.p.ant's feet, consisting of two yellows, three purples, and one black. This was a very good soul ring configuration, and he immediately launched himself forward.

However, he was clearly a strength-type Soul Master whose speed was rather lackl.u.s.ter, and as soon as he entered the pa.s.sageway, a series of projections emerged from the walls on either side of him.

These were all humanoid projections of light, and they were attacking the partic.i.p.ant from all directions and angles. The attacks weren't substantial, but just as the electronic voice had explained, being struck by them would result in score deductions.

The Soul Master did his best to evade the projections, but he was struck by at least a dozen projections in the end. By the time he arrived at the end of the pa.s.sageway, his expression was already filled with grief.

There were only a total of just over 30 projections, so being struck by close to half of them clearly wouldn't yield a very good result.

It was naturally Lan Fuozi's turn next, and he turned to Tang Wulin with a smile as he said, "Check this out!"
