The Class Tournament between Classes one and two ended with Class 1 victory. Tang Wulin's improved Dragon Blood line suppressed Yuanen Yehui's Titan Giant Ape a lot, preventing her from excerting all her strength in a head on collision while the Blue Silver emperor suppressed Bai Hanyin's Cherry Blossom. It was the same with Ye Xingmo and Yue Zenghyu, who also faced the same problem when facing Ye Xinglan and Gu Yue/Xu Xiaoyan combo.
With Xu Lizhi and his meatbuns, they could easily go for prolonged battle. Although Yuanen Yehui planned to take out Xu Lizhi first, along with Tang Wulin, but Xu Lizhi was too nimble on his feet for anyone to land a hit on him, especially when he was behind Gu Yue. And Tang Wulin's ability was nothing as she had predicted, after all, she did not see him in action since he got his third ring!
Gu Yue was also able to show her great control over the elements. She was able to support Xu Xiaoyan with her fog, support Wulin in keeping others from attacking him, and also Gaurd Xu Xiaoyan and Xu Lizhi all at the same time.
But the real Trump card turned out to be Xie Xie and his stealth attacks. Unlike his usual sudden attacks, Xie Xie was completely hidden for half of the match. His very presence was erased. But when Tang Wulin was able to tie down Bai Hanyin, Xie Xie took the opportunity to take her out, in a second. His killing intent was so sharp, it completely froze whoever he targeted for a second. That one second was enough to take the other party down.
The finale was a stand off between Tang Wulin, Xie Xie and Gu Yue, against Yue Zenghyu and Yuanen Yehui, which resulted in a victory for Tang Wulin.
Two months since then, and the semester exams are finally here.
The exam details were also the same as Tang Wulins previous life. The students must travel to Mingdu and back within 15 days, passing at least 10 cities. In each city, they must find and beat an opponent 5 levels higher. They cannot rely on any external force. Moreover, the students cannot bring along any possessions: money, spirit devices... Teachers will stealthily monitor and judge but won't interfere. If they cannot make it within 15 days, they fail and their points will be cut in half. Finally, teaming is not allowed.
Shrek city train station, a train was departing for Mingdu city. Due to recent terrorist attacks, the security and inspections has been enforced. But all this did not stop Tang Wulin, who had already teleported himself to the Food Compartment and hid himself.
With a meatbun, from God knows where, in his mouth and his eyes closed, Tang Wulin had already released his mental seal. Although he couldn't completely release his mentality to inspect the train, since it could get detected, with purple demonic eyes- boundless, it was achievable.
The train moved halfway without any trouble, but then, a series a scream and explosions where heard.
"So it wasn't avoidable huh?", Tang Wulin sighed, "am I really cursed when it comes to trains?!"
Tang Wulin already knew something like this would happen. A terrorist attack, just like in his previous life. He already figured it was only one person, most likely a dark soul master.
A dark soul master are soul masters who are able to strengthen themselves from the death, pain, sorrow and suffering of the people around them. They spread terror as a means to improve themselves. As hideous as it may be, it was extremely effective. So much so, that the strength a dark soul master is much higher than an ordinary soul master of the same rank, and the speed of their cultivation is also faster.
Tang Wulin had planned to take action before the dark soul master could, but his current mentality was still at a critical state. While it had stabilized, it was still difficult to fully control it. And the speed at with the Dark Soul master took action was faster his anticipation. The dark soul master was able cause a great deal of casuality in a matter of seconds. And just like than, an aura of death loomed throughout the train, that reached all the way to the back.
Just as Tang Wulin was about to take action, something happened causing his whole body to go limp. He felt pain, as if, his heart's gonna burst, his veins' gonna pop. The pain was different from what he would feel from the Seals of the Golden Dragon King.
If Golden Dragon King seals were as if his body was plunged into a pit of lava, this sensation was bone chilling. The Golden Dragon King Seal was tyrannical and destructive but this type of pain was as if he was drowning in a endless Sea of death. He felt as if everywhere around him were swords ready to pierce through him.
"What.. is ..this?", Tang Wulin muttered in pain. 'I had dealt with a fair share of death aura and killer intent myself, but this is just unbearable. What is going on. The Dark soul masters I've faced so far, none could give me this much dread and pain'. Tang Wulin clenched his chest. It was getting hard for him to breathe. He couldn't move. He fell on the ground, curling into a ball.
At the second Compartment after the engine room, a man in black cloak stood with a grin. His face was covered but it didnot hide the vicious grin plastered on his face. With Green flames revolving around him, a pool of blood beneath his feet, dead corpses that surrounded him and screams of the terrified passengers ringing in his ears, the man seemed like he was having the best time of his life!
The most gruesome thing was that, none of the people on floor were dead yet. But they were surely wishing for one. Their insides were burning slowly, and the pain they felt was unbearable. That man didnot want anyone to die soon, he wanted to torture them.
"Yes, scream, scream more", he said as he raised his hands in the air. "I can feel it, your pain, it's giving me strength"
"Although I wasn't planning on taking actions myself, your precious federation suddenly increased the security. So in a way, it's the Federation and Tang Sect's fault that your are suffering right now. If they just stayed still, you all could have died a painless death by my underlings ", the man went on his monolog.
"Well, it's a good thing for me. With this much of your pain, I could achieve the rank of spirit doulou in a year ", the man waved his hand, and another wisps of green flame swooped into the bodies of the passengers, causing them to scream in agony, as the man laughed hysterically.
Although his attack was only for the first two Compartments, every single passenger in the train were being tortured by the death aura that he was emanating. After all, ordinary people could hardly breathe in such an aura. All this occured in a matter of five minutes.
"I think that's enough..", a cold voice rung in his mind. The owner of the voice was nowhere to be seen, but the sound was still extremely clear.
"Who is it?", the man screamed, but he did not panic. His eyes were scanning for the any intruder, but he couldn't find any.
The space infront of the dark soul master distorted and a figure appeared in a flash of silver light. The person who appeared was only a thirteen year old, who's long black hair was fluttering in the air.
"You're just a brat. You dare come to face me?!", he make yelled as his death aura and killer intent amplified. The surrounding air was thick, so thick for any of the passengers to even remain conscious, throughout the train.
"And you dare to flaunt your death aura around me?", the boy uttered coldly.
Just like that, the dark soul master felt as his entire world was turned upside down. The death aura that was torturing every passenger seemed to have started haunting him. He could feel like he was loosing control over his flames and his soul power was draining like crazy.
"What are you doing brat?!", the man suddenly panicked. He had no idea what was going on. All he could feel was that the ominous death aura was revolving around the boy who just appeared.
The surrounding started to change and restore itself. The dark soul master could feel it, the time was moving backwards. The inside of the train was completely restored, and so was the passengers. All the pain they felt seemed like a dream. As if it never happened.
"A time based domain?! Impossible! How could a kid like you have such an advanced domain?!", the dark soul masters yelled. For the first time in a very long time, he felt an emotion...
Fear!
That's right. Something he only saw in the eyes of his prey. Right at the moment he felt it himself.
He couldn't move, because each time he did, he found himself back in his original position. Also, his own soul power was drained away by the death aura surrounding the boy.
"How is this happening?!"
"Who knows?", the boy shrugged his shoulders. His black hair turned pure white. His fair skin turned pale. His black eyes turned blood red. "But you shouldn't have flaunted your death aura infront of me so arrogantly "
"Why is that? Don't tell me you are a dark soul master like us too?", the man asked. His eyes widened.
"Don't.. "
In an instance, he felt a jolt of pain from his legs. He slowing looked down, and found two lances, that appeared out of nowhere, pierced through his legs. The eyes of the dark soul master was filled with pain and disbelief as he looked up. He wanted to scream from the pain, but the fear made him swallow his sound.
"...you dare lump me in with scum like you "
Tang Wulin stood in front of him, with the third Lance in his arm, pointed at the neck of the dark soul master. He cold, murderous red eyes gazed down upon the dark soul master in disdain.
Tang Wulin drew a loop in the air, and the loop sealed the movement of the dark soul master completely.
It was Indefinite Storm!
"Since I am using your soul power anyway, let me experiment a bit", Tang Wulin stepped back a bit.
The dark soul master felt a large drop in his soul power reserves. He then saw the surrounding go still. Every passenger was still. Even the moving train was still. Only thing moving was the him, the boy in front of him, and the death aura surrounding them.
"It really worked", Tang Wulin spoke, overjoyed, confusing the dark soul master.
"What are you?! How did you achieve spirit domain at such a young age?! How can you emit such death aura, that is even draining my soul power?!", the dark soul master yelled. Fear was evident in his every word. He couldn't circulate his soul power. He couldn't feel his green soul burning flames. He was utterly helpless infront of a thirteen year old boy!
"I am not emitting any death aura. I am simply draining the aura you are emitting. The soul power is also getting drained for some reason", Tang Wulin said, he sounded as if he was just as confused. "Although, it could only be used to power my domain and nothing else"
"You are lying! How can a brat who doesn't look like he's 15, able to drain my death aura? We dark soul masters are the true emissaries of death, slaughter and destruction! We pray for chaos. We are the true rulers of death! How could you possibly do so, without being one of us?!"
"Impudence! ", Tang Wulin roared. "You dare say you are the true ruler of slaughter in front of me? ", Tang Wulin took a step forward again. The death aura weighing down on the dark soul master became heavier, even the Indefinite Storm got released due to the pressure.
"You dare say you insects stand above my bloodline?!", Tang wulin took another step, and pressure increased exponentially.
"Your... blood...line?", the dark soul master struggled to speak. But he understood everything when an emblem was seem in the forehead of Tang Wulin. It was a blood red sword that was shining brightly.
"The Asura God?!", he knew that symbol. It was the symbol of God who rules over death and slaughter. He was ruler of the Devine realm, who enforced the laws. He was the God King who had the authority to judge the other gods.
"How are you able to possess such a bloodline?", the dark soul master coughed blood as he spoke.
"You are not worthy of knowing", Tang Wulin said indifferently. "Now, be judged by the very flames that burns on the souls of your victims"
Just as Tang Wulin finished speaking, all the death aura rushed into Dark soul master. His soul burning flames went haywire and started burning him.
Screams of agony reverberated throughout timeless void. But no one heard or had any knowledge of this happening, as a lifeless corpse fell on the ground.
