The Legend of the Dragon King (Web Novel)

Chapter 1825: What Clansmen?

“Alright! Let’s depart now. Shall we head to meet up with your clansmen? Then, I shall join all of you to fight against the evil devil killer whale clan.”

“Clansmen? What clansmen?” asked the devil soul great white shark in astonishment.

Tang Wulin could not help feeling stunned. “I thought I am supposed to assist the devil soul great white shark clan to defeat the evil devil killer whale king’s clan? Since it is a clan, there must be the rest of your clansmen too, right?”

The devil soul great white shark said in confusion, “No, of course. The divine general that guards the sea told us that we just need to lead you to the location and you will settle everything else for us. Our clansmen still have other matters to attend to, you see.”

The corners of Tang Wulin’s lips twitched involuntarily upon hearing this. ‘There is a term frequently used to refer to the act of swindling known as a “lying father”. It seems like my father is addicted to deceiving his son!’

‘How is this considered a clan? This is no different from fighting against the entire clan singlehandedly, right?’

Tang Wulin had no fear if he was doing this on the land, but it was not as easy to defeat a clan in the sea that he was not attuned to.

However, he relaxed when he thought about it. It should not be a huge demand since he was already a Limit Douluo-ranked soul master. The examination would be too easy if he had the help of a large number of devil soul great white sharks.

“Alright. In that case, I shall lead the way for you. Let’s pay a visit to the evil devil killer whale king!” Tang Wulin said to the devil soul great white shark.

“Mmm-hmm. Let’s go. You must protect me. The divine general said that if you don’t guard me properly, he said something about failing your examination.”

Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment and was not sure whether to laugh or cry. Not only did he have to fight, he also had to act as a babysitter too! The difficulty of his task seemed to be a little high.

“Let’s go!” Tang Wulin gave a forced smile. Dragon Air spurted out from his body and circulated the soul power inside him. Although he was in the sea, he could still walk under water as if he was walking on flat ground.

Fortunately, there were no limitations imposed on his abilities in this examination.

The devil soul great white sharks swung its tail once and caught up to Tang Wulin rapidly. It said in a coquettish voice, “I’m counting on you.”

Tang Wulin said, “I’ll try my best. Oh right, you said you have a one-hundred-thousand-year cultivation base, so how are your combat skills? What are your skills? We can work together when the time comes.”

A one-hundred-thousand-year soul beast’s fighting abilities would be equal to a Title Douluo’s. Since he needed to protect the soul beast, he would need to familiarize himself with the devil soul great white shark’s capabilities.

“Hmm, hmm. If you were to describe me with a word from the human language, I’m what is known as a good-for-nothing. Other than swimming, I’m not good at anything else. I’m the princess of the devil soul great white shark clan and I’m still a baby. I’m not trained in fighting or anything else.”

The Dragon Air surrounding Tang Wulin’s body fluctuated such that sea water almost flooded into his body.

‘A baby devil soul great white shark with a one-hundred-thousand-year cultivation base?’

Even calling herself a good-for-nothing? It is quite knowledgeable, huh? However, it is obviously a useless fool! Not only is it not helpful, perhaps it is going to be a huge burden on me.’

Tang Wulin wished that he could send this soul beast flying away with a tight slap. It seemed like the difficulty of this examination was growing with each passing minute!

“Why aren’t you speaking? You don’t like me, huh?” The devil soul great white shark said in a coquettish voice, “Do you know that I look really beautiful in my human form? Shall I transform myself to show you? However, I don’t have your human clothing. It’s not good if I’m naked, right?”

“Stop it.” Tang Wulin felt speechless. He shook his head helplessly and said, “Don’t do anything. Just do as I instruct you when we arrive.”

“What’s wrong with you? Are all humans as bad as you? What do you mean by just do as you instruct me? What if you have bad intentions for me?” The devil soul great white shark’s noisy chattering was incessant.

“I…” Tang Wulin glared at it and said, “How about this? Take me to the evil devil killer whale clan, just turn around and flee. Flee as far as you can. I thought you’re most skilled in swimming? This is okay for you, right?”

“How is that okay? We share the same enemy and hatred. That is my enemy too, so I can’t abandon you just like that, right? I’m going to fight side by side with you and witness the moment where the miracle is created!”

“Shut up!” Tang Wulin could not refrain anymore! How dare a good-for-nothing like her have the audacity to even say those words!

He discovered that the difficulty of the sixth examination included verbal harassment.

Fortunately, it did not take long before Tang Wulin sensed a strong oppressive force coming from the distance ahead. When it appeared, he felt as if the seawater around them had filled with ill-intent. Mighty auras could be felt coming from the dimmed, dark corners of the sea.

‘I think I’m here!’

Tang Wulin squinted and purple radiance could be seen flickering in the depths of his eyes. It was the Purple Demon Eyes!

Everything in front of him turned crystal clear at once. In the distance, the silhouettes of the evil devil killer whales emerged in his visual field.

Those evil devil killer whales appeared to be larger than the devil soul great white sharks. There were blue-black stripes on their bodies that acted as highly effective camouflage in the sea. What was more terrifying were the powerful auras that they were emitting. He could sense over a hundred such whales. Moreover, none of their cultivation bases were lower than ten thousand years. There were seven to eight killer whales with cultivation bases of over one hundred thousand years and auras as deep as the abyss. The aura of the evil devil killer whale king meant that it had to have been a Beast-ranked creature at the very least.

Of course, these were not considered huge threats for Tang Wulin due to his cultivation base. So what if the creature was a Beast?

The devil soul great white shark was floating in the sea water. It turned its head to the side as if it was glancing at Tang Wulin to signal him that they had reached their destination!

Then, the devil soul great white shark clan’s princess made a gesture that Tang Wulin had never expected.

The devil soul great white shark positioned itself vertically in the water with its tail fin bent forward and made a gesture akin to a human being’s beckoning hand. Then, an incredible spiritual aura burst forth into the distance instantaneously!

The spiritual aura could be explained using the human language as ‘Come at me!’

Tang Wulin watched the princess make such a provocation in bewilderment. Then, he watched as it widened its mouth, exposing its sharp teeth to him. In the next moment, it swiftly turned around and flapped its tail fin before vanishing into the distance instantaneously.

What…

Before Tang Wulin realized what was happening, raging auras burst forth from the other end at once. It felt as if the seawater had abruptly frozen and placed an formidable oppressive force on Tang Wulin from all directions. The large evil devil killer whales were already charged toward him wildly.

Tang Wulin wanted to tell them that it was not his fault, but would it make any difference for him to say so at this point?

He really wished that he could beat up the devil soul great white shark ferociously!

He heaved a sigh in his heart and began to transform. Golden scales were unleashed from inside of him. It was the Golden Dragon Body. At the same time, his body began to swell under his guidance. His body swayed and transformed into the dragon form in the sea.

Yes, he wanted to transform into the Golden Dragon King and fight those evil devil killer whales in the sea!

An incomparably thick and heavy blood essence fluctuation burst forth from Tang Wulin’s body. It turned into an almost solid halo that illuminated a large area of the sea with a golden hue.

His enormous body, over a hundred meters in length, was covered in thick, heavy scales, displaying its magnificence.

The evil devil killer whales charging toward him immediately slowed down upon sensing his fearsome aura. They watched his body transform from a short distance away.

The wings on his back remained closed as they were not that useful in the sea. Tang Wulin swayed the body of the Golden Dragon King he transformed into so he could familiarize himself with his new form.

He seldom engaged in a battle in his dragon form normally. It felt like the last time he did this was when he transformed into the Blood Golden Dragon in the Star Luo Empire during the attack on the Spirit Pagoda.
