Seeing the two soul bones, which seemed to belong to lightning leopards, Tang was overjoyed. He quickly sat down to integrate with them.
He decided to do it together, after all, his mentality and physical strength is already high enough to do it. He sat down to do so.
It was a smooth process, other than the fact that there was a sudden spike in energy while he was integrating. But old Tang, the split soul of Tang San, interfered and eased it out, so that Tang Wulin can integrate with the soul bones smoothly.
But when Tang Wulin opened his eyes, he found himself lying in a black box. 'Did I get forcefully logged out?', Tang Wulin thought. 'What the hell? I was planning on getting back the Tyrant dragon! But why did they have to pull me out like that?!', he internally cursed his luck.
When he got out, he saw everyone, Leng Yaozhu staring at his with a strange expression, as if he was some kind of alien.
"Tang Wulin, do you accompanying us for some tests. It won't take long. Just a simple examination ", Leng Yaozhu said, as she walked up to him.
Tang Wulin didn't know what was going on, but decided to follow them. Strangely enough, all the procedures were same as he underwent in his previous life, when he got the Tyrant dragon. And just like last time, he had to make an incision on his skin so that the examiner could collect his blood sample. After all, none of the equipments could penatrate Tang Wulin's skin.
After everything, he entered Leng Yaozhu's cabin, where his friends were waiting for him.
"Wulin, what happened? Why did you have to go through those tests?", Gu Yue asked, a little worried. She then glanced at her teacher, who looked helplessly at her disciple.
"I have no idea. All I know was, I integrated with the two soul bones, and suddenly I was out of the Spirit ascension platform. Then I was asked to undergo some tests ", Tang Wulin said. But he was able to get some idea of what might have happened.
"You got yourself two soul bones?!", Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan, Xu Lizhi and Yue Zenghyu blurted out.
"Since when did soul bones became so easy to find?", Yuanen Yehui asked.
"But that can't be why you had to act this seriously was it?", Gu Yue asked.
"I'll tell you what happened ", Leng Yaozhu said,as she sat down on the couch. The others also did the same. She then began, "when you integrating with those soul bones, the Tyrant dragon and the thorn dragon, that were the 90,000 year old and 40,0000 year old Guardians of the high level, completely dissappeared from the Spirit ascension platform".
"They what?!", hearing this, everyone, Tang Wulin included, was stunned. Although he figured out the Tyrant dragon would enter inside him as spirit soul, like in his previous life, but he never imagined that even the thorn dragon would come along.
"How is that possible? Does that mean the spirit beast in the spirit ascension platform are real? ", Yue Zenghyu asked.
"In a way yes. They are actually failed spirit soul, who are put into a different space. They may not be able to become spirit souls of soul masters, but they can be used to strengthen the spirit rings. But there are exceptions. And the thorn dragon and Tyrant dragon are the best examples. We already had the Tyrant dragon put into the spirit ascension platform because even a titled Douluo died trying to absorb it as spirit soul. As for the thorn dragon, we wanted to see its performance and ended up making it a gaurdian along with the Tyrant dragon ", Leng Yaozhu explained.
Others were shocked beyond belief, but Tang Wulin and Gu Yue still had their indifferent expression. 'Can nothing in this world, faze them', Leng Yaozhu was speechless at this sight.
"Are you alright with telling us something so important ", Ye Xinglan spoke up. "It's fine. All the higher ups already know this. So it doesn't matter ", Leng Yaozhu said.
"What about the two dragon?", Gu Yue enquired.
"The Tyrant dragon isn't a trouble. After all, it was taking up a lot of our resources. We would have already terminated it, if it wasn't for its lost leaniage. But the thorn dragon... ", Leng Yaozhu paused as she looked at Tang Wulin.
The importance of the thorn dragon was even higher than the Tyrant dragon, despite the difference in strength. Although the appearance of Guardians in the middle level of the forest was a mistake on the the spirit Pagoda's side, it was obvious that their arrival was related to Tang Wulin. After all, Tang Wulin didn't seem to be fazed by the appearance of the Tyrant dragon at all. It was as if he was expecting it. But the thorn dragon seem to have surprised him as well.
"Tang Wulin, why were you unfazed at the appearance of the Tyrant dragon? Were you expecting this?", Leng Yaozhu asked.
"How ridiculous?! Your highness, how can you say something so absurd?! Are trying to put the blame on Boss?", Xie Xie exclaimed. Leng Yaozhu was a little surprised seeing Xie Xie was ready to argue with her for Tang Wulin.
"Xie Xie get back. She is right ", Tang Wulin said calmly, surprising everyone. Xie Xie quickly obeyed Tang Wulin and sat down as well.
"Your highness, you are right. But not completely. I was able to sense the Tyrant dragon because of my bloodline. My bloodline seem to be familiar with the Tyrant dragon and that's why it felt an intimacy with me", Tang Wulin said. He wasn't lying, after all, he sensed the Tyrant as well, and the Tyrant dragon inherited the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, which is why it possess Golden scales on its forehead.
"But even I couldn't sense them within my spiritual sea. So how can you say it dissappeared because of me ", Tang Wulin was right. And even the spirit devices couldn't detect their presence within him. So their was no conclusive evidence. And even if they did find out, they couldn't do anything to Tang Wulin, after all, Shrek wasn't something they could compete against.
"Your highness, the Holy Spirit Douluo has requested to see you ".
Leng Yaozhu was taken aback by the what her staff just said.
.
.
.
In the end, Ya Li had a nice short 'chat', with Leng Yaozhu and she left with the kids. Gu Yue said she would be staying back for a bit. Although the Holy Spirit doulou and the Heavenly Pheonix doulou didn't have any argument, their enimosity was clearly evident.
"Your highness, why were you different from usual ", Xu Lizhi asked innocently. Being an inner court disciple, he had seen Ya Li countless times before and knew her temperament. But today she was a bit overbearing compared to her usual calm and peaceful temperament.
"Was I?", Ya Li asked, and others nodded.
"It's nothing. But I have a piece of advice for you boys. In the future, you may fall for someone, and many may fall for you. But don't go around being a playboy like a certain someone", Ya Li said.
Back in Sea God island, a certain someone sneezed.
"Master, did you catch a cold?", Na'er asked concerned.
"No, I'm pretty sure someone is talking behind my back ", Yun Ming said thoughtfully.
"There's only one person who would have the guts to do that ", Na'er giggled.
Back with Tang Wulin. Yuanen, Xie Xie, Xu Lizhi, and Xu Xiaoyan glanced at Yue Zenghyu after hearing Ya Li's words, causing him sweatdrop. Ye Xinglan didn't bother too much about it, after all, she never thought of these.
But the one who was sweating buckets hearing these words was Tang Wulin. Ya Li said the exact thing to him in his previous life. Back then, he never understood what she meant.
But now, two different incidents in his previous life resurfaced in his memory.
Number 1, at the Sea God Fated Date Festival. Tang Wulin took part in it, so that he could confess to Gu Yue. There, something he never expected happened. His adopted sister, known as the most beautiful student at the academy, Na'er, one of the strongest in his Class, Wu Siduo and the princess of the whole Star Luo continent Dai Yun'er confessed to him. Three exceptional beauties fell for him, without him even trying. Heck, he wasn't even aware of it.
Number 2, was even more ridiculous. Dai Yun'er, the princess of Star Luo empire gave him an aphrodisiac just so she could have him take responsibility for her. Even the emperor was supporting her! If it wasn't for Gu Yuena's timely arrival, Tang Wulin may have done it with her!
In the end, other than Na'er, who merged with Gu Yue, the other two lived without marrying anyone.
That was the moment he understood what his God mother meant. But the problem was,he wasn't even trying to be a playboy.
'Looks like I found myself a new objective added', Tang Wulin thought.
'Stay away from Yun'er!'
