Tang Wulin's expression was grave as he stared at Nanali. "Nanali, don't you dare lay a finger on Gu Yue!"
Having said that, he immediately activated the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, and several blood-red Soul Rings began to hover at his feet…
Then, glancing sideways at Gu Yue, he said, "Gu Yue, I'll hold her off, you take the chance to get out of here!"
The target was himself, and with Gu Yue's capability of Spatial Teleportation, she should be able to escape!
Hearing his words, Gu Yue immediately shook her head and said, "No way, that's one of the Holy Spirit Cult's four great Kings; you can't stop her by yourself!"
If she left, Tang Wulin would be facing the Dark Bell, an Ultimate Douluo, alone – and that would be a certain death for him!!
As they talked, a deep malevolence flashed in Nanali's eyes, "You're about to die and still showing off your love, I'm really getting angry now!"
The next second, her figure vanished like a phantom…
With his Purple Demon Eyes open, Tang Wulin immediately spotted Nanali's trace and exclaimed, "Gu Yue, behind you!"
With a "buzz" sound, Gu Yue didn't hesitate and used teleporting, barely avoiding Nanali's attack…
At that moment, Tang Wulin instantly used his Duskgold Dreadclaw's right bone and faced her head-on. "Nanali, if you have a problem, come at me!!"
Nanali, who was obstructed by him, frowned, "I don't want to kill you right now, get out of my way!!"
She infused a great amount of Soul Power and with a push forward, forcibly shattered the sharp Duskgold Dreadclaw's right bone…
"Pfft!"
Tang Wulin spat out a mouthful of blood as the backlash from shattering his soul bone caused him to stagger back more than ten steps…
His gaze fixed firmly on Nanali, "Truly an Ultimate Douluo, I'm not even in the same league with my strength!"
He might be able fight back and forth with an Ordinary Titled Douluo, but he was no match for an Ultimate Douluo!
Seeing her most important person getting injured, Gu Yue shouted coldly, "You're courting death!!"
A Magic Wand began to condense in her hand, barely visible…
With a swing, elements such as ice, earth, light, dark, and space surged overwhelmingly, but they didn't cause any real harm!
Nanali nonchalantly wiped out the incoming Fireball and scorned, "Just with you, who've just broken through to Titled Douluo? Killing you would be as simple as killing him."
With that, her foot stamped down on the young man's head, pressing it forcefully into the ground…
Gu Yue clenched her Magic Wand and whispered determinedly, "Seventh soul skill, Silver Dragon King True Body!"
The strength of the Dark Bell had completely surpassed any opponent she faced before; she could no longer hold back!
As the seventh Soul Ring lit up, a massive phantom appeared behind Gu Yue. Upon closer inspection, it was a coiled silver-white dragon, its body radiating a powerful force not characteristic of a Soul Master…
And surrounding its form were elements elevated to their utmost extents…
Under this formidable presence, even the mighty Nanali felt a dread originating from the depths of her soul…
"This dragon gives me the sensation of facing the legendary Dragon God; how is this possible!"
Her soul had begun to tremble uncontrollably, as if on the verge of fracturing…
…
Only after a long while did the disciples of Tang Sect regain their senses, still shaken as they said, "I am not mistaken, am I? A Soul Sage got shook to the point of spitting blood and even fainted from a Divine Artifact!"
"One can imagine just how terrifying the power released just now was!!"
"Damn it, I was thinking of trying it myself, but now it seems this Divine Artifact is extremely dangerous!!"
Sima Jinchi was also stunned and rubbed his eyes as he said, "My goodness; has this Divine Artifact become sentient?"
Long Yuxue's beautiful eyes hardened, "According to historical records, Divine Artifacts generally recognize their owner. Once successful, no one else can use it unless the host dies. That's also the biggest difference from ordinary weapons!"
This was also her first time seeing a legendary Divine Artifact!
Jiang Wuyue said enviously, "Indeed, how could it be called a Divine Artifact if it weren't something special!"
Tang Wulin chuckled lightly, then walked in front of the Sea God's Trident under the gaze of the Tang Sect disciples and reached out to pick it up...
The entire process... met with no resistance...
After caressing it slowly, he said, "Sorry for making you wait."
The Sea God's Trident seemed to sense his emotions and emitted a resonating "buzz" sound...
This scene immediately incited a high cry from everyone...
"Who is this person? Why can he pick up this Divine Artifact so easily with no resistance at all?"
"Do we even need to think about it? That Divine Artifact must belong to him! Otherwise, he would have been knocked out just like the previous guy!"
"Look at his age; he's about the same as us. Why does he get to have a Divine Artifact? Damn it!!!"
Seeing that the situation was off, Zhao Chong, who had always been paying attention to this place, immediately scolded, "Silence! All Tang Sect disciples, disperse immediately!!!"
In an instant, the Tang Sect disciples scattered because of his authority...
Only then did Zhao Chong walk up to Tang Wulin's side and asked with concern, "Kid, how's your recovery going?"
His tone was more than twice as friendly as when they first met!
Tang Wulin nodded slightly, "Hall Master Zhao, my recovery is almost complete. It's just that I don't know where Tang Sect's forging table is? I feel it's time to complete the second assessment!"
Zhao Chong frowned slightly and reminded, "Your second assessment is to complete a piece of Three-Word Battle Armor within two weeks, and you only get one chance. Are you... confident?"
The corners of Tang Wulin's mouth curled up slightly, "Hall Master Zhao, don't underestimate me!"
After speaking, he took out a badge that glinted with silver light from the storage soul tool—an Eighth Grade Blacksmith's Badge!
Seeing this, Zhao Chong's eyes widened in shock, "Eigh... Eighth Grade Blacksmith's Badge, kid... you actually have such strong talent in forging as well!"
Seeing his reaction, Jiang Wuyue said proudly, "That's right, when Wulin first joined the Blood God Army, he lived by forging for others!"
Ling Wuyue also chimed in, "That's correct. The Three-Word Battle Armor I'm wearing was personally forged by Wulin, and its defensive capabilities are much stronger than ordinary Three-Word Battle Armor!"
Aruheng said jealously, "I didn't even know about this. Disciple Brother, you've been hiding it from me!"
Tang Wulin gave an awkward laugh, "Brother, you never asked me!"
He wasn't the type to show off just because he was an Eighth Grade Blacksmith.
Zhao Chong sighed, feeling a bit relieved as well, "It seems that the position of the next Sect Leader of the Tang Sect has been decided!"
Even if Tang Wulin failed the assessment, the Sect Leader wouldn't give up on striving for him, right? After all, his talent could overturn the entire human world!!
Shaking his head to dismiss these thoughts, he said, "Come on, I'll take you to a quieter forging room. Since it's an assessment, it must be personally supervised by a Tang Sect disciple!"
