Dragon King of Apocalypse

Chapter 10: Moving On

Aside from the letter, Na'er had left behind a few other things. She had left a small silver pendant necklace with an inlaid silver gem.

The gemstone was perfectly round, with a silver thread around its edges.

Seven rays of light could be faintly distinguished as they twinkled within the gem. One look and it were easy to tell it held considerable value.

Red Mountain Academy.

"Tang Wulin," Lin Ximeng called out from the lectern.

Tang Wulin walk up to accept the recommendation letter for intermediate Soul Master Academy.

Every single student in the elementary academy who successfully became Soul Masters could be recommended to continue their studies at an intermediate academy.

No matter what one's martial soul was, they would meet the requirements if they possessed a soul ring.

Tang Wulin already adapted to the disappearance of Na'er. Today was the end of his stay at the elementary academy.

Wan Yunchao glared at Tang Wulin from the seat beside him. "We're graduating now. Let fight again."

Tang Wulin disregards him as usual and didn't care when he was called a coward by him. Throughout the whole day, Wan Yunchao has been bothering him to fight him one more time.

Having enough had his constant talking, he used Leviathan's skill "Pressure" causing Wang Yunchao to pass out.

That was something he recently learned during the past week. His Leviathan first skilled allows him to overwhelm a person with his spiritual power, similar to how one did with magic power.

It was an effective mental attack but sadly, it only works on people around his strength.

Disregarding the helpless idiot, Tang Wulin makes his way to the Mang Tien workshop. Mang Tien said he wanted to give him something before he goes to the eastern academy.

On the way his thought went back to Na'er, knowing to wonder what he should do.

'She wasn't kidnapped, considering her letter and I didn't see any lies in it. Also if she was forced to go, she would have never hidden her scent or power so I couldn't find her.' Thought Tang Wulin as he slightly narrowed his eyes.

Tang Wulin, had to accept the reality that Na'er left on her accord. As no one but her knew how special and terrifying his nose was.

That was somewhat fine for him but he doesn't understand the reason why she left.

She didn't really explain it to him in the letter at all, all she said was she had things to do. If those things are something she can't even tell him, then it must be dangerous.

'But why not tell me? Or at least tell me she was leaving.' Thought Tang Wulin with a sigh.

After a bit, he saw Mang Tien workshop. He walks inside to see the Mang Tian sitting at the table waiting for him with a package in his hand.

"Here, this my congratulate gift to you." Siad Mang Tien as he outstretches his hand.

Tang Wulin receives the package, opening it and saw two silver bracelets. Before he could question what these were, Mang Tian brought out the heavy silver that he refined a year ago.

"I want you to make two pairs of hammers out of that Heavy Silver." Said Mang Tien.

Tang Wulin blinks before staring at Mang Tien for a while. From he understands, with these Heavy Silver, he could make hammers that could withstand his overwhelming strength.

Since he been constantly breaking the hammers in Mang Tien shop even when he controls and limits his strength.

He was going asking why he's giving them to him since their so valuable. Then he saw the same look from Mang Tien that he typically sees in his parents and sister.

Sighing he nodded his head but not before saying he isn't going to take blacksmith seriously, causing Mang Tien and him to do their usual bickering.

Three days later, he had two pairs of the hammer in both of his hands.

While looking the same as his old hammer and it felt way heavier with the weight being about several times more.

He remembered that Mang Tien said to put the hammer in the bracelet, as it's able to store items. After doing everything he needed, Tang Wulin said his goodbye and left while Mang Tien said some words.

"Good then. Go home now and pack up your things. Come visit me one more time before you leave for Eastsea City." Said Mang Tien with a smile.

Mang Tien stares as Tang Wulin walks down the street. He wonders how can there be a kid that his so talented in refinement but has no interest in it.

He turns back to the station where Tang Wulin was remembering how earlier in the day that kid was able to do Stacked Hammer Effect.

"Honey, are you really sure?" Lang Yue said as she looked at her husband with eyes full of distress.

Tang Ziran let out a sigh. "I have been so useless to this family for the past years. Our son had to pay money out of his pocket to help out with the living expense. This can't go on, for once I want to be proud of doing something for our son.."

Lang Yue said with eyes on the verge of tears.

"But if it's like that, then who knows how long it'll be before we can see our son again" Muttered Lang Yue causing Tang Ziran to pull her into an embrace.

"Before I thought it would be better if that boy was ordinary so he wouldn't have to deal with the pressure of the world. I didn't even think my thinking could be suppressing our son."Said Tang Ziran with a sigh.

"I am sure you already notice. He doesn't fit the image of a normal child and life. Even when we found him, it was already signed he was meant for great things. Seeing how hard he tries, how could his father be scared or do any less for him."Said Tang Ziran as he clenches his fist while holding Lang Yue.

Tang Ziran looks up to heaven and mutters.

"But even with all these conclusions, I wish for my baby boy to live a safe, normal and ordinary life. Even if it is selfish, even if he would hate me. I had hoped all these years he could live without the pressure of the world."

Eastsea City.

This was the second-largest seaside city in the Sun-Moon Federation. Its main feature was its port, which served as a nexus for traveling the seas and exploiting the resources of the ocean.

The city had a population of over three million people. By exploiting the natural resources in the ocean, the city was able to prosper.

Eastsea City soul train station.

A dark blue soul train slowly entered the station and came to a stop.

In Eastsea City, nearly all of the soul trains were blue in color. After coming to a stop, the train's doors opened up, letting the people onboard off.

Tang Wulin walks out, clutching his stomach as the stupid dragon slayer motion sickness kick in. It didn't suck that much since he wasn't that strong now, so it worked on a more reasonable level.

'But it's still hateful.' Thought Tang Wulin.

He walks towards the exit with people surrounding and the wall around him. He escaped the train station and follows the map his mother gave him, ignoring random strangers that tried to talk to him.

The commotion, the car splitting up the crowd and arrive at the Eastsea Academy entrance was also ignored by him.

He saw the sign: Eastsea Academy. Under the sign, he saw a black-haired girl. She had a pair of red phoenix eyes, a moderate build, and a sweet appearance.

"Little brother, are you here to report?" Asked the black hair girl asked when she the boy approaching their table.

The boy nodded while the black hair girl looked at the boy's appearance which was too pretty, especially those large eyes and long eyelashes.

"Hello, my name is Liu Yuxin. I'm a first-grader at the Eastsea Advanced Academy and am in charge of receiving new students this year. I'm your senior sister here. Come and fill out this form and afterward, show me your recommendation letter from your elementary academy." Said Liu Yuxin with a faint smile.

Tang Wulin nodded his head, grabbing the paper and begin filling out all the information.

Liu Yuxin took the time to marvel at all composed the boy in front of her is, most kids his age would be panicking, nervous, happy or prideful.

She looks over his shoulder and couldn't stop herself from blurting out some of the info.

"Tang Wulin. Nine years old. Graduated from Glorybound City's Red Mountain Elementary Academy. Rank 11 plant system Soul Master. martial soul: Bluesilver Grass. Ah! Your martial soul is Bluesilver Grass." Mutter Liu Yuxin in surprise.

Tang Wulin nodded.

Liu Yuxin smiled sweetly, "To be able to reach rank 11 at your age with a martial soul like Bluesilver Grass, it truly isn't easy at all."

"Sure." Said Tang Wulin before he presented her the paper and started to walk towards the bus. This had caught Li Yuxin off guard before she quickly went over to him,

"Wa...Wait!" Shouted Li Yuxin.

Tang Wulin turn around as he saw the receptionist girl coming towards and quirk an eyebrow as if asking "what."

"I wasn't done explaining." Said Liu Yuxin with a smile.

Tang Wulin nodded his head before motioning with his hand for her to continue.

'This guy' Thought Liu Yuxin as her lips began to twitch.

"Wear this metal placard around your neck as it's proof that you've been admitted to the academy when you get to the gates. You still need to go check-in and receive your supplies. Get on the bus behind me, and we'll take off for the academy once a few more students arrive." Said Liu Yuxin.

Liu Yuxin's mouth twitches even more as she saw the boy grab the placard and went on the bus without even a farewell.

Tang Wulin walk towards the bus, ignoring all the others even the ones who greeted him.

An upper-grade student from Eastsea Academy who stood beside Liu Yuxin gave Tang Wulin a glance as his mouth sneered.

"Why is he acting so arrogant with that trash spirit soul Bluesilver Grass. The country bumpkin should go back to his village."

Liu Yuxin stared at him with a deadpan look. "You can't discriminate against our junior brother. He's only nine years old and was able to cultivate his Bluesilver Grass to the realm of Soul Master. His age already gives a sign he a genius and add in the fact, his temperament, his composed even here mean he not that simple."

Tang Wulin heard the conversation with his enhanced hearing but didn't care.

Staring at the bus, he could only lament the fact that he has to go on those "Monster."

'Damn! I miss it when I could just fly anywhere!' Thought Tang Wulin.

Knowing he didn't want to be awake when this contraption moves, he knocks himself out into blissful, ignorant unconsciousness.

"Wakey, wakey little brother. We already have arrived." A familiar voice came in front of him, drawing Tang Wulin's awake.

It was Senior Sister Liu Yuxin who was standing in front of him with a smile on her face.

"Aren't you just adorable, already sleeps like this was a field trip." Said Liu Yuxin with a faint smile as she saw Tang Wulin display a surprisingly cute side.

Tang Wulin look around and observe no one but he was there.

"Everyone else left, you're the only one that still here but that fine. Come with me for a moment."Liu Yuxin begins walking to leave the bus.

Tang Wulin staring at her, decided it better to listen to her for now.

The wall in front of them was precisely a part of Eastsea Academy. Not too far off were the large stone academy gates which gave off an imposing feeling.

Eastsea Academy was a large academy which was actually comprised of both an intermediate academy and an advanced academy.

Liu Yuxin smiled. "For the sake of everyone's safety, the academy doesn't allow the use of vehicles within its grounds. If any vehicles enter campus grounds, they will have to immediately head off to the side and enter the underground parking lot. The advanced academy division is on the west side, while the rest of the campus is part of the intermediate academy."

Tang Wulin nodded as he followed Liu Yuxin through the gates of the academy.

She then directs him to where the administrative office was, telling him what to do and coming to her if he ever needed anything.

Seeing him not responded, Liu Yuxin could only smile wryly wondering if she was ever going get a thank you from this boy.

Thanks to the recommendation as well as the metal placard Liu Yuxin had given him, the enrollment procedures were completed without a hitch.

Two sets of the school uniform were provided free of charge, as well as a dormitory key. He wouldn't receive any learning materials until his first class.

He had been assigned to class five of the first graders. From now on, he was a new student at Eastsea Academy.

He arrived at the dormitory where his dorm room was on the second floor, number 205.

The corridor was noisy and in disarray as countless new students were reporting in during these last few days. After a while, he was able to find his room and in there he already saw people in there.

Not really caring for who they were, he walks straight to one of the beds, unoccupied to put his stuff down.

"Hey! The newcomer did you wholly overlook me."Yelled the boy with a thick build, short hair, and bulging eyes.

He narrowed his eyes at Tang Wulin and went towards him trying to use intimidation tactics.

Tang Wulin not in the mood to deal with these insects, he turns around and focuses his martial skill on both boys.

'DEATH!'

Yun Xiao and Zhou Zhangxi felt like they couldn't move, breath or think as a bizarre pressure started to dominate them.

The surroundings turn black as an enormous black silhouette appeared.

They were able to force their eyes to look up.

They saw a 'monster' with red eyes. It had blue markings on its scales, it shapes pans out to be that of a bipedal dragon with razor-sharp teeth, chin shaped like an arrowhead and two massive wings.

"You and step out of line die." A cold voice rang out.

"Do you understand?

The boys couldn't do anything. They started bleeding from their eyes, nose, and ears. The 'monster' stared at them for a while after saying that and let up on the pressure.

"Do.. you understand?"Asked the monster once again.

The boys rapidly nodded with teary bloody eyes and then the darkness vanishes. The boys blinking, looked around and notice they are back in their room.

They turn to the boy and witness him laying down on his head.

They were still too horrified, to notice a cold faced youth walking inside wearing black sportswear.

"Move." The two still scared boys jump and fell in fright, too scared to function properly.

The youth conveniently ignores those two and walks towards the bed until he was stopped by a voice.

"Hey, you. Get off the bed; I am taking that spot." Said the arrogant youth.

But to his surprise, he saw the boy in front of him ignoring him.

"Hey! Did you not hear me?" Asked the arrogant youth.

"Sigh" The youth heard the boy in front of him.

"I said-". The youth couldn't complete his sentence before he was backhanded by Tang Wulin.

He was sent through the decorated wall and onto the front yard of the dormitory, before turning unconsciousness.

Yun Xiao and Zhou Zhangxi stared in shock at how easily the boy sent the arrogant youth flying.

They realize how lucky they were to not have got into a fight with him.
