Dragon King of Apocalypse

Chapter 25: Alliance Tournament

Tang Wulin was walking leisurely through the lively streets contentedly eating some dried fish. He wonders if they're going to be any strong opponents in this tournament.

"I am sure there will be. I sincerely doubt just anyone can be a representative or enter."

'You never know Zeref.'

He has been walking through the streets for a while, and he saw almost everyone flocking towards the stadium. Knowing his class, they are proly going to be in the area and so that where he was going.

"Excuse me! Can I have some of your dried fish?"

Tang turns to see a little fatty boy staring at his dried fish with drool in his mouth. He raised a brow and ignores the boy, as he continues to walk.

"Wait! About you give me some now and I buy you a meal!"

Tang Wulin stop and turn back to the little fatty. A free meal is a free meal and so he willingly gave the little fatty some of his dried fish.

"Is there any guarantee he will buy you a meal?"

'It doesn't matter, I will naturally force him to promptly take me out to eat and if he doesn't have the money to pay. I will obviously dine and dash.'

Zeref stared wistfully at Tang Wulin blankly, who gazes at the little fatty like he was a free meal ticket. The little fatty turns to Tang Wulin to sincerely thank him and ask eagerly his age since he looks maturer than him.

"10."

"Wow, I am 10 too. Heehe older brother my name is Xu Lizhi, but everyone just calls me Little Glutton."

"I see. Well, about we go grab some lunch now."

"Uh. I sorry big brother but I have a match to attend to now."

"Your fighting in a match now?"

"Yes!"

"Hmm alright. Here my communicator number. I hope you don't forget about the meal you owe me."

Xu Lizhi shivered as he saw Tang Wulin staring at him.

'This person feels very dangerous, but he did give me food'

"Don't Worry big brother, I won't go back on my word."

"Little Glutton, how did you run all the way over here? All you know is how to eat. Hurry up and come back."

Tang Wulin and the Little Glutton, Xu Lizhi, turned toward the voice. The speaker was a girl around Xu Lizhi's age, dressed in the same green exercise clothes as him. In comparison to Xu Lizhi's fat-filled form, her clean-cut silhouette brought out the best in the clothes.

Her golden hair was combed up into a ponytail, accentuating her large, bright, blue eyes properly framed by long eyelashes. They were nearly on par with Tang Wulin's. Her flawless skin glistened under the light, tender, and white.

"Remember your promise, little fatty."

Tang Wulin turned as he started back on his pleasant journey to the arena. He conveniently ignores the girl scolding Xu Lizhi, content that he was able to gain a free meal ticket so quick. There was a line as everyone was scurrying to get into the arena, causing him to take a while to get in.

Tang Wulin used his enhance smell to find Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyang, who was sitting down, for the match. They were talking about the match between Shrek and representatives of Skysea alliance.

"Oh, that little fatty and girl is fighting in this match."

"You!"

Xie Xie quickly turned around when heard Tang Wulin voice. Tang Wulin threw a questioning glance at Xu Xiaoyang since Xie Xie was glaring fiercely at him.

"Hehehe. He has been suffering under Gu Yue when we found out you weren't traveling with us."

"If you're going to travel alone, at least take me with you."

Tang Wulin ignores him as he turns back to the match. The match itself didn't last long, but he was able to see what martial soul that little fatty had.

"So he a food soul master."

Tang Wulin nodded to Zeref, as Xie Xie and Xu Xiaoyang were genuinely shocked at the massacre. The match didn't even last that long, the whole audience themselves were silent as well.

"I would be more shock if we didn't have something more terrifying than them."

Tang Wulin raised a brow at Xie Xie, while Xu Xiaoyang also nodded with a bitter expression on her lovely face.

"Of course, besides their nothing much."

They all turn to see Gu Yue walking to them but Tang Wulin raised a brow when he saw her intentionally ignoring him.

"While it true you guys have something more terrifying than them. They are only the outer disciples and not inner."

Everyone but Tang Wulin was shocked at the astonishing revelation. Wu Zhangkong turned up behind them and told them he plans to have them become an inner disciple of Shrek Academy. This also means the youngest one in the arena is their greatest rival in becoming an inner disciple.

#

The city bustled with activity now that the Skysea Alliance Tournament was in full swing. Tournaments attracted people, so visitors from all over the east coast had traveled to Skysea City.

Tang Wulin was sitting down next to Xu Lizihi who naturally came to fulfill his promise to buy him lunch. Strangely enough, he was in a disguise but Tang Wulin didn't care much, too busy stuffing himself.

Xu Lizihi himself shock at the speed and how much Tang Wulin could eat.

'I thought I was the glutton.'

Not really caring much, he felt like competing fiercely with Tang Wulin. Leading to the scene of two gluttons piling up a mountain of empty dishes. Tang Wulin was enjoying himself, even when Xu Lizihi kept on talking with food in his mouth, happy from finally finding someone who could eat like him.

"Ah hah! So you're here!"At that moment, a familiar voice cut through their sweet atmosphere like a knife.

Tang Wulin was able to see an entertaining spectacle of little fatty eagerly seeking forgiveness to the girl in front of him. It was then the shop keeper came out with the Salt-crusted baked bluefin tuna and Tang Wulin begin to ignore the duo.

After a while, the fish was done, and everyone but Tang Wulin was full. He started getting up to leave. He had to go get started on Xu Xiaoyang training.

"Where do think you're going."

Ye Xinglan called out to the boy, who got up. She wanted to ask him some questions but he then shocks her by ignoring her and turning to the fatty.

"Good Meal fatty. I leave the bill to you."

Tang Wulin then walk out of the shop without paying any more attention to Ye Xinglan. He was never one to care for people who didn't garner his interest no matter who they were.

The Next day, he headed to the register for the competition.

"You don't want to compete for the blacksmith competition and gain the prize money?"

'Nope. Mu Xi should be able to win and give me the money. After all, she should be able to break through and become the 4th rank blacksmith soon."

"I'm surprised Mu Chen and they are allowing you to skip it."

'You know as well, it because of Mu Xi. By her telling them that I been helping her out with his blacksmith and became too tired to participate. After all, I can't do the blacksmith, individual competition and team competition.'

Zeref shook his head, already understanding Tang Wulin reluctance to do blacksmith. It stills one of the big reasons he even decided to help Mu Xi since with her he can gain the items he needs and the prize money from the blacksmith events.

"You!"

Tang Wulin saw Ye Xinglan directing a murderous glare at him and Xu Lizhi stood beside her. He didn't even give her the chance to continue as he moves her aside and went to sign up for the competition.

The event grounds were buzzing with activity. Since junior division competitors in the individual competition wielded three soul rings at most, the space provided wasn't much. Each arena spanned about thirty meters in diameter. Arranged next to each other, the rings of battle showcased dazzling duels between all sorts of martial souls and soul skills.

Nothing much happened, other than Tang Wulin and the class winning their individual competition match and team match easily. Considering they all been fighting Wu Zhangkong who isn't one to hold back, it came as no surprise.

The tournament schedule was packed, with matches conducted every day. Tang Wulin walking toward the tournament ground, with Mu Xi telling him about her blacksmith match.

"So you were able to break through?"

"Not exactly, Dad said he was going to test me later, but I was able to gain comprehension. I should be able to make the first-grade metal easily now."

Tang Wulin nodded his head, not surprised in her advancement. It has been months since Mang Tian told him about Mu Xi progress and he been helping her increase her strength. With this, it wouldn't be a shock for her to advance, although he was surprised she did that in the tournament.

"Remember to buy me lunch later."

"Hmph. Of course, that the only thing you care about."

Tang Wulin hangs up after she said that and continues walking to the competition ground. He saw he still some matches to go before his turn and then turn to see Gu Yue and Xie Xie watching over the match.

Gu Yue is still not willing to talk to him, which Xu Xiaoyang and Mu Xi keep laughing about. Xie Xie told him there still waiting for their match and they were busy scoping out the fierce competition.

"Better prepare for your match."

Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi saw Tang Wulin and approach like enemies meeting on a narrow road. The former led the way while the latter followed like a servant.

Tang Wulin arches a brow at her, while Xu Lizhi had a miserable expression on the face.

"The opponent you drew for today is unable to make it, so another opponent has been arranged for youme"

Tang Wulin was impressed at how to determine this girl was to lose. Xie Xie, on the other hand, started to laugh.

"What so funny."

"It nothing, I just never met a person who was so eager to lose in front of everyone."

"Weren't you the same when you wanted to compete with him."

Xie Xie was stun by Gu Yue words and started to argue with her. Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi were stunned at his word because this was the first time anyone believed Shrek victory wasn't certain.

"Remember those words."

Ye Xinglan snorted and begin walking away with Xu Lizhi bowing his head, then following her.

"Still thought boss, this may not be a very easy win."

"The harder the better."

Xie Xie lips twitch but then he instantly remembers he was talking to a heaven-defying monster. While Shrek academy can be considered strong but compare to this monster, he has doubts if anyone could properly match his talents.

Tang Wulin begins walking to the arena, as a smile started to form on his face.

"You seem to be in a happy mood."

'Zeref I am sure you notice too. She strong but not only that, she seems like the type to not admit defeat unless you knock her out.'

Zeref kept quiet as he watches Tang Wulin continue to walk to the arena, his eyes for a split second flash into slits. He knew what would happen to Ye Xinlang.

'He is going to break her.'

#

Today's referee was the same as yesterday's. After unceremoniously announcing the rules for the match, he let the two starts preparing.

"Three, two, one, begin!"

A long sword materialized in Ye Xinlang's hand. Sparks of light twinkled along with the slender brilliance of its yellow blade like the stars in the night sky, showcasing a splendor that was attention-grabbing even in daylight.

Ye Xinlang's like a meteor dash forward at Tang Wulin as he stood there with a grin waiting for her. She swung her sword at Tang Wulin who aim to counter it. But then at the last minute change her attack to aim for his ribs.

Tang Wulin simply twisted his body to strike out with his other fist. Ye Xinglang's not being deterred from this bend back as the fist flew over her and then swung her sword at his open side.

Tang Wulin jump over the swing and then slam down his foot but Ye Xinglang's quickly back off as his foot caused the arena to shake.

'So he has a lot of strength.'

Even she was surprised about his foot being able to shake the arena. She shifts her head to the side as a rock sped past her. She then started slashing the rest of the rocks coming her way.

She then trusted her sword at Tang Wulin, as her footwork changed into mysterious erratic steps. Tang Wulin activates his golden scales and simply defends himself against the sword strikes.

CLANG! CLANG!

Ye Xinglang was surprised she wasn't able to find any opening in Tang Wulin defense. Also from the fact, her stargod energy couldn't invade his body.

'Just what are those scales.'

Tang Wulin getting bored of this, did something that shocked her. He grabs her sword, the stargod energy being nullified and before she could react kick her in the stomach, causing her to reel with blood sprouting out of her mouth.

Ye Xinglang still tried to swing her sword but Tang Wulin redirect the sword to the ground. Then stagger her with a punch to the temple and then swings his fist at her but she was able to activate her second soul skill at the last minute.

BANG!

Ye Xinglang eyes widen when saw her shield shattering but was able to evade the punch by an inch. Then disappear from his view for a back attack but was met with a backhand from him.

She was stagger, allowing him to send her fist at her face but then she twisted her body for a sword spin.

Tang Wulin smash the sword downwards with his fist.

He then kicks up towards her but Ye Xinglang was able to quickly bring her sword in front to block and use the momentum to gain room to breathe. Inwardly she was surprised at how well he could predict and see through her movements.

Not counting his centuries of battle experience, Tang Wulin spiritual power was over 4,000 and his enhance sense made it easy for him to predict her attacks.

Ye Xinglang's glared at him and sped off towards at him even faster than before. Her Stargod Sword seemed to become the manifestation of the myriad stars in the skies as it she charges at Tang Wulin.

Her glittering sword moved so fast, that it turned into multiple swords stabs but even then it was being blocked.

Tang Wulin hands black the stab to his chest, kidney, arm, shoulder and etc. He was able to accurately pinpoint all of her intended targets, even when she changed it at the last minute.

Even when she tried valiantly attacking him from behind, he kept on deflecting and worst of all he hasn't moved an inch. Tang Wulin hand moved to the point where it looks as if he hands multiple hands.

CLANG!

'How! He isn't even looking behind him but yet he is able to block my attack from behind.'

'Magic Dragon Explosion.'

Tang Wulin caused an explosion around him forcibly sending her tumbling back but she was able to catch herself.

'Welp, that enough fun.'

Tang Wulin launch himself toward Ye Xinglang, who waited for his attack. Tang Wulin begins to throw out dozens of punches at her. She was inevitably forced to stay on the defensive, deflecting his punches and dodging them.

'I can't get hit by any of those.'

She could feel the oppressive air coming of from those fists and knew she could get hit. Her eyes widen in shock when she saw his fist getting sharper and quicker.

'This isn't a skill but pure technique. How did he get so skill, dammit!'

Ye Xinglang was aggressively defending against Tang Wulin punches that kept on growing.

'5, 10, 20 no shit it 30.'

Tang Wulin was able to break Ye Xinglang guard and then strike her in the face. Not letting her escape, he begins to rain down coordinated attacks on her.

BANG! BANG!

Ye Xinglang body was turned into a punching back, as Tang Wulin didn't allow her to recover. He moved his flexible arm to grab her wrist and then broke it.

CRACK!

Even with her broken wrist, she refuses to let go of the sword, but that didn't stop him from continuing to hit her. Then after his last punch while she was bloody and dazed. He twisted his body to hit with a direct kick, sending her flying but then grab her feet.

BANG!

He started promptly slamming her down on the ground, creating dents on the arena ground. Then with one mighty slam, she was indented into the ground and he instantly raised a foot, to slam it down on her.

BOOM!

Tang Wulin was impressed at her pain tolerance, even as his foot was crushing her ribs. Yet even with all this he raised his foot again with his grin and slams it down hard.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

Ye Xingland body was fully planted into the arena ground and Tang Wulin turn around, to walk off the stage. Not caring for the announcer or the audience silence.
