In the upcoming competitions, Tang Wulin was about to face even more powerful opponents. There were other factors that were beyond mankind’s control, such as luck.

When Tang Wulin stood on the Federal Star Dou Battle Network Challenge’s finals competition stage once again to meet his opponent, he was speechless.

Although the Battle Network blurred the opponent’s face and there was nothing unusual on the opponent’s body, he still recognized her at a glance. It was just like how Yuanen Yehui would not fail to recognize him as well.

The round of the final eight contestants. Tang Wulin versus Yuanen Yehui.

Out of the Shrek Seven Monsters, Ye Xinglan was eliminated after losing to the Gale Demon Saber Sima Jinchi during an earlier round. They were the only two remaining with one destined to be eliminated in this round of eight-into-four competition.

Thus, their comrades could not help widening their eyes in surprise when they saw Tang Wulin and Yuanen Yehui were going to fight against each other in this round. Luck was not on their side.

Yuanen Yehui looked at Tang Wulin standing opposite her. It had been a while since they parted ways. Now, their next encounter was going to be on a battlefield.

In less than half a year, he seemed to have changed a lot. Although it would be impossible for his body to develop any further, she felt as if she was confronting Dragon King Long Yue in Star Luo Empire back at the beginning. When she now looked at Tang Wulin standing hundreds of meters away from her, she had the same feeling of him – invincible.

Had his aura grown so powerful? What sort of transformation did he undergo within the past few months? Her own cultivation base was already rank-70, and she could even break through to the Soul Sage rank anytime. Yet, why did she feel such intense stress facing him as he was just a Soul Emperor? She was quite certain that he had already made a breakthrough to the Soul Emperor realm by now.

Tang Wulin looked at Yuanen Yehui as he similarly felt shocked. It had only been a few months, but Yuanen Yehui’s aura, which was stable as the mountain previously, was now barely discernible. Her presence was hardly perceptible as if her entire person had blended into the surrounding space. However, there was a curious form of thought fluctuation that existed naturally on her body. She exuded a feeling that seemed able to shatter the void at any moment.

She was different now. Tang Wulin came to the conclusion in his heart.

If this had been another place, Tang Wulin would refuse to spar with Yuanen Yehui in such a condition. He was afraid that he could not restrain himself. He felt there was no way he could defeat Yuanen Yehui in her current state without devoting all his effort.

Fortunately, this was the Star Dou Battle Network where everyone was allowed to express their abilities without restraint. Everyone was allowed to engage in battle without any qualms.

It was an ideal situation for Tang Wulin to assess his comrade’s improvement after enlisting in the army.

It was not just Tang Wulin shouldering the burden alone. There were all the other members of the Shrek Seven Monsters. They carried the heavy responsibility of reviving Shrek Academy. Such heavy stress drove them into improving themselves rapidly so they could become even more powerful.

Each of them was blessed with outstanding natural endowments. They had their own individual paths. Tang Wulin was improving with such great leaps, but so were his comrades.

Tang Wulin felt the heroic spirit spreading out from his chest. ‘Yuanen, show me what kind of abilities you have now.’

“Five, four, three, two, one. Begin the competition!”

The highly anticipated competition began following the referee’s announcement.

Yuanen Yehui charged forward without the slightest hesitation. She was different from her usual calm self when she confronted the other opponents because she understood Tang Wulin too well. If she were to allow Tang Wulin to suppress her with his imposing strength as soon as the competition began, she was afraid that she would not even stand a chance to counterattack. Tang Wulin’s aura was already growing stronger, so she must strike first.

Yuanen Yehui’s body swelled up as she advanced a step at a time. Without any hesitation, she unleashed her three great soul skills: the Titan Strength, the Diamond Titan, and the Devil Titan. Her burly body, which was over six meters tall with huge bulging muscles, was full of strength and exceedingly powerful. If Tang Wulin had not known her, he could not detect even a wisp of femininity from her body.

The distance between both parties was closed in a split second. Tang Wulin did not move this time, but his battle armor emerged and covered his entire body rapidly. It was his Dragon Moon battle armor!

Yuanen Yehui’s battle armor covered her strong and powerful body in a similar manner. Her battle armor was the weakest amongst the Shrek Seven Monsters because of the huge difference between her twin martial souls.

There was no way a human body could store two battle armors at the same time. Hence, Yuanen Yehui had to consider between her two martial souls under the amplification effect of the battle armor. Such a decision naturally resulted in her choice in which the main focus was to amplify her soul power and strength.

The ground shook violently with every step Yuanen Yehui took. She left behind one deep footprint after another on the competition stage while her aura was increasing wildly. Just as she was about to reach Tang Wulin, she shouted aloud abruptly as she threw a punch at Tang Wulin.

The punch was swift as a meteor chasing after the moon. Her large fist was upon Tang Wulin in a split second.

Tang Wulin moved at this exact moment. He raised his right hand suddenly and clenched his fist just before he did a fist bump with Yuanen Yehui. He wanted to find out how much Yuanen’s strength had grown.

Almost the whole audience was aware that the Dragon King was skilled in strength as he had relied on his super strength to defeat the countless powerful opponents previously. Undoubtedly, Yuanen Yehui was equally skilled in strength. So, which of them had a more powerful strength?

Both fists came into contact silently.

Yuanen Yehui’s fist which looked terrifying turned illusory upon making contact with Tang Wulin’s fist. Even Tang Wulin was not expecting such a transformation.

The super swift fist suddenly enshrouded his fist in a vortex. She relied on Tang Wulin’s powerful strength to draw in an enormous suction force which pulled his body forward.

It was equal to both Yuanen Yehui and Tang Wulin combining forces to pull at Tang Wulin’s body.

‘Awesome!’ Tang Wulin called out in his heart. Losing control, his body stumbled forward. Simultaneously, Yuanen Yehui’s knee with its irresistible force was bearing down on him.

One could only imagine how masculine Yuanen Yehui’s body was after her transformation, in addition to her battle armor. The battle armor on her knee was thick and heavy with hard rock-like protrusions. If this attack had been used against a mecha, it would be enough to turn the mecha into scrap iron.

It seemed like Tang Wulin had nowhere to dodge!

Tang Wulin took a step forward with his left leg. He did not evade nor raise his other hand to defend himself. On the contrary, he used his chest to block Yuenen Yeuhui’s knee strike.

“Boom...”

A violent boom exploded with the audience holding their breath at present. Could such a powerful Golden Dragon King lose the competition in one strike?

Yet, the collision resulted in them widening their eyes in astonishment.

Tang Wulin’s body slid backward just as Yuanen Yehui’s body stumbled behind a few steps after the collision.

Tang Wulin slid for about twenty meters before he managed to stabilize himself. His battle armor was shimmering with a golden radiance as he patted his chest gently. He cracked into a beaming smile at Yuanen Yehui nearby. “Not bad. Strong enough.”

What...

Did a two-word battle armor master’s best strike with her knee come to an end just like this?

Was her strike just blocked as such?

That was precisely what happened.

Yuanen Yehui was staring in bewilderment similarly. She was well aware of Tang Wulin’s powerful defense as they had been comrades for so many years. No one else understood Tang Wulin better. Yet, she did not expect Tang Wulin’s defense ability to be powerful to this extent.

She was unaware that after the formation of the Dragon Core, Tang Wulin’s Mountain Dragon King Torso Bone together with his Dragon Core had completely fused into his body. Tang Wulin’s torso was the strongest defense of his entire body.

Tang Wulin took a deep breath. She had foreseen that today’s competition would be extremely tough after watching Tang Wulin’s earlier battles. However, Tang Wulin’s improvement had exceeded her expectations. She obviously had the upper hand by relying on her Cloud Vortex Divine Punch, yet it felt like Tang Wulin was invincible now.

Meanwhile, Tang Wulin moved. He touched the tip of his toes against the ground and his body shot forward. With a valiant dragon’s roar, he was before Yuanen Yehui in a split second. Subsequently, he threw a punch.

Yuanen Yehui could only feel the strength radiating in all directions and squeezing her body when he threw the punch. At the same time, the golden fist before her was enlarging continuously akin to a giant dragon rushing in from the front.

She strenuously inhaled a deep breath and rocked her spine while retracting her body ever so slightly. At the same time, her palms came together closing in on Tang Wulin’s fist.
