Chapter 1342 - Qilin Douluo
What could be more delightful than the addition of an extreme treasure to Tang Sect?
“Fatso, tell your Sect Master Tang after this that I’ll still want the opportunity to enter that treasured land of yours. You guys can propose any conditions you want. I’ll do anything as long as it is within my power,” En Ci said with a deep voice.
Hu Jie glanced at him. “I’ll tell him. As for the approval, it’ll be up to the Sect Master. By the way, who’s he fighting today?”
En Ci took a look at him and displayed a mysterious expression. “Seeing that you’ve won a Bright Sacred Dragon Crystal from me yesterday, what kind of opponent do you think I’ll arrange for your Sect Master? Simply put, he wouldn’t stand a chance from this day onwards. Not even ten percent in the final three matches.”
“Oh?” Hu Jie cracked his knuckles. “How much of a chance did you say our Sect Master had yesterday? Was it twenty or ten? Our Sect Master still won. If you’re saying that our Sect Master doesn’t even have a ten percent chance, then may I imagine that our Sect Master has an eighty percent chance? I actually really want to thank you, Mr. Principal. In your divine premonitions, everything is fake. Your predictions will definitely come true. Hahahaha!”
En Ci’s facial muscles twitched when he heard Hu Jie’s snide remarks. He hated Zhang Geyang to the very core in his heart. Although Zhang Geyang had lost a spirit soul, his loss was not lesser than Zhang Geyang’s.
If he was not extremely confident, there was no way he would gamble with Tang Wulin yesterday. There was no way he would wager the Bright Sacred Dragon Crystal. He only made the gamble when he knew that Zhang Geyang would show no mercy. However, who would have thought that the final outcome would be a sudden reversal.
Without a doubt, there must have been some secret existence within Tang Wulin. It was precisely this secret that caused him to lose completely. However, he did not know what this secret even now.
However, En Ci believed that everything was insignificant in the face of absolute strength. Today would be the soul master battle. It was the most direct clash between soul masters. They would be relying on pure strength. He did not believe that Tang Wulin could still create a miracle under such circumstances.
“Next, let us welcome the contestants from both sides in the Battle of Five Gods. Tang Sect’s Sect Master Tang Wulin, and our empire’s representative…” The commentator made a deliberate pause. He created suspense on purpose.
Everyone’s attention was focused on the other entrance.
“His Excellency the Qilin Douluo Tong Yu!”
The spectators’ stands rose in an uproar.
The Smiley Face Douluo was still smiling cheerfully before it, but the smile on his face suddenly froze over. He turned to look at En Ci. “Tong Yu? He’s back?”
It was the Holy Dragon Douluo’s turn to smile this time. “That’s right! He’s back. There’s nobody else who’s more suited in today’s match, don’t you think so fatso?”
The Smiley Face Douluo did not even care about En CI calling him fatso anymore. His expression was clearly sour at this moment.
He would not have such an expression even if it was En Ci who was personally fighting. The worst they could do was lose.
However, the Qilin Douluo was different.
A man slowly strolled into the coliseum from the entrance. His appearance was actually quite scary. His height was around two meters and he had an extremely tough build. His arms were especially noticeable as they were thicker in firth than ordinary adults’ thighs. There were scales on his bare arms and face. The scales were of five colors, it was a riot of colors.
He had just made his appearance, but he immediately gave the feeling of being ferocious. The color of his eyes was also peculiar. One of them was blue while the other was red. His blue eyes seemed capable of freezing another person’s soul while there seemed to be a flame burning within the red eye.
Compared to the handsome and slender Tang Wulin, this was practically a stark comparison between the hero and the demon.
The Qilin Douluo Tong Yu.
When this person was mentioned, even the most ordinary citizen had heard of him.
This person was also a Monster Academy alumni. However, unlike the ordinary students of Monster Academy, this person had truly turned into a monster.
Tong Yu’s innate martial soul was a dog-type martial soul. His own soul power was roughly at only rank-2. It was not the best suited for cultivation. However, his soul power had still awakened. His family suggested that he should become a mecha master in the future.
However, Tong Yu disagreed. He was very passionate about the heroic legends about soul masters since he was a child. He was determined to become a powerful soul master.
Later, the first half of his life was a touching and empowering story.
With his steadfast belief and tireless pursuit, he bore many hardships as he cultivated and continuously improved himself. He finally managed to pass the entrance examination and entered a primary soul master academy and received formal soul master education.
He had put in twice the effort than anyone else just to keep up with everyone’s footsteps.
He was working hard in his cultivation every day. However, due to his meager natural talent, the results of his cultivation were not satisfactory. When he graduated from the primary soul academy, he did not even manage to pass the graduation examination. He could not even attain a two-ringed cultivation base.
This had impacted Tong Yu a lot. In addition to that, a girl he loved at that time had rejected him and hooked up with another student who made it into the intermediate soul master academy. In a fit of rage, Tong Yu went to the extremes.
What followed after was a scenario that nobody had ever imagined before.
The extreme Tong Yu chose was to commit suicide by consuming poison. He consumed the insecticide in his house and had taken a great dose while he was at it.
When his family discovered him, he was already unconscious with foam in his mouth. They managed to send him to the hospital, but the doctors told them that he was beyond help.
However, A peculiar scene appeared just when his family started arranging his funeral affairs.
Scales started growing on Tong Yu’s body. His aura was also changing. Then, he woke up.
Tong Yu became a silent person after he woke up. However, his strength had tremendously increased in an instant. He directly improved from a cultivation base below two rings to a three-ringed cultivation base.
This was already an incredible result at his age back then. However, his outer appearance had greatly altered. He appeared muscular and scales covered his skin. The scales were of a variety of colors. It made him appear extremely hideous. The ordinary person would think that he was a monster at first sight. Even his family thought so.
In the next few years, he secluded himself in his room and cultivated. The rejection from the outside world had slowly given rise to his lonesome and willful personality. This continued for many years until he was discovered and brought away by the Monster Academy.
According to Monster Academy’s investigations, his martial soul had mutated after he attempted to kill himself by consuming poison. A proportionately smaller bloodline in his martial soul had awakened. It could be regarded as his martial soul’s second awakening.
After ranking, the martial soul was deemed to be of a primordial divine beast, the qilin. Although it had awakened, it was not pure due to its extremely weak representation in his original bloodline. The mixing of his bloodlines was what caused the changes in his outer appearance. This was something that could not be changed.
He stayed on in Monster Academy after the incident and cultivated there. Such an opportunity did not come easily for him. He put in a lot of effort in his cultivation. His improvement went rapidly under the aid of Monster Academy’s incredible resources. He was starting to show up prominently within a few years. He gradually became one of the distinguished members of Monster Academy’s younger generation.
At that very moment, the shortcomings in his personality started to show as well. He almost beat his classmate to death in a certain sparring session. He was sternly punished by the academy.
After that, he became even more silent. He kept to himself and cultivated all day long. When he was twenty-four years old, he became a Title Douluo. He became a Hyper Douluo at the age of thirty-two.
If the story ended here, it would have been a touching and empowering story about growth. However, a great even occurred to this Qilin Douluo later on.
Hatred was a deeply rooted vice within his memories. He could never forget the incident that made him kill himself all those years ago. When he became a Hyper Douluo, he found the girl who had left him back then. The girl was already married and had a child. However, the Qilin Douluo tortured and eventually killed her and he even made her child watch.
Moreover, he had no intention of covering up for his actions. After he committed these acts, he went to the authorities and turned himself in.
Turning himself in was a commendable course of action, but the truth was too abominable. He had killed someone, a mother, in front of her own child. This was too cruel. The child was also traumatized by the incident and lost his sanity. There was no dramatic progression of a child vowing to avenge his mother.
However, Tong Yu was already a Hyper Douluo-ranked expert at that time. At this rank, the ordinary authorities were slightly powerless to do anything, In truth, nobody in the world could have stopped him if he wanted to run away.
The matter was handed over to Monster Academy in the end. The academy’s duty was not just about educating a person, it had to play a part in a person’s formation as well. Without a doubt, Tong Yu’s action was a great blot for Monster Academy.
