Chapter 1419: Collective Cultivation

This was the disparity in their cultivation bases. Tang Wulin’s spiritual power had been at Spirit Domain for a long time. With such a spiritual cultivation base, he could always identify the trajectories of Xie Xie’s and Yue Zhengyu’s attacks. Under the Bluesilver Emperor avatar’s enhancement, his Bluesilver Emperor vines were extremely strong, in addition to having the Golden Dragon King’s power and the Thunderclap Nether Vine’s electric paralysis. Hence, with every clash, he could weaken Yue Zhengyu’s and Xie Xie’s attacks to a great extent. No matter how fiercely the two of them went at Tang Wulin, he was able to resolve their attacks in the blink of an eye.

Their battle seemed to encompass the entire sky. There were flashes of light everywhere. It was a majestic sight to behold.

Xie Xie had never unleashed his powers as freely as he was doing at that moment. He continuously shuttled back and forth between time and space. Each time he moved between them, his Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger became fainter and fainter, which meant that they were becoming deadlier. Every blade of Bluesilver Grass was like his enemy, and every clash with them would give him a deeper understanding.

Throughout the battle, he learnt how to prevent himself from being entangled by the Bluesilver Emperor, how to deal with the electric paralysis from above, and how to look out for a chance to breach Tang Wulin’s defenses.

This was not the only time he got close to Tang Wulin. With his Space-time Dragon’s abilities, he had already found opportunities to land an attack. However, Tang Wulin’s Time Backtrack Domain had a powerful suppression effect on him. Every time his attack almost hit Tang Wulin, it would be transported back to where it was a second ago. Then, the Bluesilver Emperor would precisely make up for the lack in defense and take his opportunity away.

Frankly speaking, this was not a good feeling. However, it was precisely because of this that he had to wrack his brains to look for an opening, a chance to strike.

Similar to how Tang Wulin improved himself during the Battle of Five Gods, the best way for a soul master to improve himself was to experience actual combat under pressure. At the moment, Xie Xie was experiencing just such a situation.

This was also the case for Yue Zhengyu.

After he assimilated the Blazing Apricot Cabbage, his own cultivation base had improved by leaps and bounds. His Holy Angel martial soul experienced an overall improvement under the hundred-thousand-year soul ring’s enhancement.

The combination of Light Fire and Scorching Fire had opened up a path for him that was somewhat different from his origin’s Holy Angel martial soul. Compared to his original Holy Angel martial soul, this was more penetrating.

His fiery invasion and Xie Xie’s shuttling between illusion and reality was a great threat for Tang Wulin. Without his battle armor and being able to fight ack, Tang Wulin could only deal with the two of them with his Time Backtrack Domain.

Since they did not have to worry about Tang Wulin’s counterattacks, their attacks were uninhibited. They put the fruits of their recent improvements on full display. They connected all the dots of their powers in their ceaseless attacks.

For them, this was a wonderful sensation. Their abilities were improving slowly but surely.

Tang Wulin was also a benefactor. As the person who was most skilled in offense, he had been relying a lot on the Golden Dragon King’s powers in his actual battles. For example, in the Battle of Five Gods, he had not even used his Bluesilver Emperor’s eighth soul skill. He was so used to attacking that he had overlooked the many advantages his Bluesilver Emperor possessed.

At that moment, he was completely on the defense. His body’s tenacity was important, but he was relying more on his Bluesilver Emperor to block his opponents’ attacks. This way, his understanding of the Bluesilver Emperor would deepen.

He divided his concentration to control two of his abilities. His Time Backtrack Domain was incorporated into his Bluesilver Emperor’s defense. His understanding of his main martial soul deepened as well.

The three of them had cultivation bases of more than seven rings. Xie Xie and Yue Zhengyu had already cultivated their soul cores. Their soul power came in endless supply and their battle on the sea’s surface continued. After an hour, Yue Zhengyu was the first one to be exhausted.

He flapped his four wings, turned into a ball of fire and left the fight. Yue Zhengyu’s clothes were already drenched with sweat. “I’m beat. I’m beat. That was nice!” He panted heavily. Although his body was tired, his eyes were exceptionally bright.

An illusory shadow flickered and Xie Xie appeared beside him. With his hands on his waist, he was also panting continuously. “That was awesome, Big Brother. We should do this more often, with you only defending and not attacking. We’ll be willing to spar with you every day if this was the case.”

Tang Wulin retracted his Bluesilver Emperor, exposing his actual body. He looked as normal as ever, and his breathing did not seem labored. Only his gaze seemed slightly dimmed. This was the aftereffect of consuming huge amounts of his spiritual power.

“You wish! I’m exhausted as well!” In truth, Yue Zhengyu’s head-on clashes were not much of a threat to him, as his body’s physique was already at an extreme level. Simply put, even a quasigod-ranked expert such as the Underworld King Douluo Ha Luosa might not even be able to compare with Tang Wulin in terms of their body’s durability.

Xie Xie was the one who gave him a headache. His attacks were everywhere. When he used his power over time and space, it gave him attacks an unpredictable quality. Since Tang Wulin could not attack, he had to constantly use his Time Backtrack Domain to correct his own mistakes while defending against Xie Xie’s attacks.

Although Xie Xie’s cultivation base was not at the eight-rings yet, he had given him a fair amount of trouble.

However, the more trouble he had, the happier Tang Wulin felt. His companions’ strengthening was good news for the entire Tang Sect and Shrek.

After all, he was only a single person. No matter how powerful he was on his own, the disadvantageous situation on the continent for the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy would still greatly affect the development of the Tang Sect.

With his companions’ strength growing, once all the Shrek Seven Monsters became Title Douluo-ranked experts, Tang Wulin believed that Shrek could definitely be rebuilt with their hard work.

Xie Xie chuckled. “Big Brother, don’t say that. Look, it’s really helpful for us if you let us attack to our hearts’ content. If you attack as well, we’ll be unable to fight you after you launch an attack from all sides. Wouldn’t that be meaningless? If you only defended without attacking, everyone can last longer. Isn’t that great?”

Yue Zhengyu kept nodding his head. This was one of the rare occasions where he agreed with Xie Xie. “He’s right. Big Brother, why don’t we do this from now on? I think that this is great as well. Before this, there were some points where I felt that my assimilation with the Blazing Apricot Cabbage wasn’t exactly perfect yet, but now, it all seems to be connected. If we do this a few more times, I’m sure that it’ll greatly aid me in assimilating my spirit soul.”

Tang Wulin nodded. He spoke as if he had something on his mind, “I do think that we can continue with this method, but we must make some changes to it to make it more beneficial to our overall improvement. After Yuanen and the others complete their battle armor, they should join in as well. Why don’t we do this? I’ll only defend without attacking three times, and then we’ll have a true all-out battle. That’ll give you guys some motivation as well. It won’t do for you to unleash your strengths alone. It’s just as important to see how you use your abilities under pressure.”

Xie Xie and Yue Zhengyu exchanged glances. “Big Brother, you’re not thinking about exacting revenge, are you?”

Tang Wulin replied with a straight face, “Am I that sort of person? I’m doing this for everyone’s benefit.”

Xie Xie coughed and scratched his head. “You know, sometimes I think that you’re quite sly.”

Tang Wulin suddenly smiled. His smile gave Xie Xie the chills when he looked at it. Without waiting for Tang Wulin to say something, Xie Xie had already blurted out hastily, “Alright, let’s do that. I also think that we need a certain amount of pressure in this period of time.”

In the days that followed, their lives became richer. They had no inhibitions on the sea’s surface. It became their best training ground. The submarine would surface almost every day to let them out for their cultivation through combat.

Xie Xie and Yue Zhengyu were not the only participants. The others slowly joined in the fray. Tang Wulin continued to defend himself without fighting back, and sometimes he was surrounded. Everyone’s combat strength was subtly but surely improving at a continuous pace. Tang Wulin himself was also stabilizing his own rank through the constant combat sessions and his own cultivation.

Throughout this process, time flew. They were getting closer to the Douluo Continent.

“Sect Master, we’ve made contact with the sect.”

On this day, the captain had met Tang Wulin right after he returned from his session with his companions.

Making contact with the Tang Sect meant that they were already very close to the Douluo Continent.

Tang Wulin said with a smile, “How long until we reach the shore?”

The captain replied, “We have about three days. The Deputy Hall Master asked you to contact him immediately after you returned. It seems that he has something urgent to discuss with you.”

Tang Wulin’s chest tightened. ‘Something urgent? Was the Star Luo Empire unable to fight the Federal Fleet back after all?’

He hastily went to the communications room beside the main control room.

The captain sent the others away. After he had personally established the connection for Tang Wulin, he left the room as well.

The call connected. From the other end came the Amorous Douluo Zang Xin’s voice, “Wulin.”

When Tang Wulin heard his voice, he suddenly felt that this voice seemed to be filled with exhaustion.

“Your Excellency, what’s wrong? What happened?” Tang Wulin asked hastily. However, he did not let his emotions get the better of him. After experiencing so much, he had learned to calm himself. Regardless of what the situation was, feeling anxious was not going to help.
