Xie Xie's mouth hung open wide, staring intently at Tang Wulin's Sea God's Trident in his hand, "Is this the Sea God's Trident that Wulin has always been hiding? Truly worthy of being a Divine Artifact, it can even cause extraordinary phenomena between heaven and earth!"
Ye Xinglan furrowed her brows, "Divine Artifacts, things that many Limit Douluo level powerhouses have never possessed. Wulin using it in such a crowded place now, I'm afraid it will attract unnecessary trouble!"
Yuanen Yehui agreed, "That's right, if someone harbors malicious intent, Wulin's situation could become dangerous!"
Yue Zhengyu said indignantly, "This guy Wulin is really too reckless. He could have defeated Chi Shanming without even using the Sea God's Trident!"
Xu Xiaoyan sighed, "What's done is done, there's no use talking about it now. We can only hope that this martial competition for soulmate selection can end peacefully."
As for the fact that Tang Wulin possessed a Divine Artifact, unless they could silence every Soul Master present, it was impossible to keep it hidden!
Chi Shanming, looking at the Sea God's Trident that gave him a strong sense of crisis, said with a complex expression, "A Divine Artifact... I didn't expect you to actually have a Divine Artifact. So it seems, from the moment you exchanged blows with me, you never used your true strength?"
"However, I don't think I will necessarily lose!!"
As he said that, his eighth soul ring began to flicker...
Eighth soul skill, Fire Spirit Seraphim!!
The fire spirit behind him expanded at a visible speed, and in the blink of an eye, it had turned into a hundred-meter-tall creature, a massive being filled with immense oppressive force...
Its gaze looked down upon the tiny Tang Wulin, as if it wanted to devour him...
But Tang Wulin was not cowardly. He channeled his Soul Power into the Sea God's Trident, and said coldly, "First form, Thousand Men's Point!!"
And with that, he thrust toward the creature that was hundreds of times larger than himself...
And with that, the two collided, unleashing a terrifying explosion, generating fierce winds and blinding light...
...
Meanwhile!
One of the Spirit Pagoda members respectfully said to Leng Yaozhu, "Pagoda Master, the Young Pavilion Master seeks an audience with you!"
The latter seemed to have guessed something and nodded slightly, "Hmm, let her come over!"
A few seconds later, Gu Yue stepped before her and respectfully said, "Pagoda Master!"
Leng Yaozhu gazed at Gu Yue's cheeks and said indifferently, "Gu Yue, if I'm not mistaken, you're here because of the Sea God's Trident, aren't you?"
Without denying, Gu Yue seriously said, "Yes, Pagoda Master. If the matter of Wulin possessing the Sea God's Trident is exposed, I'm afraid it will attract unnecessary trouble!"
"So, I would like to ask for your help to cover it up!"
Leng Yaozhu sighed, "Gu Yue, as you know, the number of Soul Masters watching the martial competition reaches ten thousand. We can't just silence them all, can we?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yue fell silent...
Indeed, to prevent the news from spreading, all the Soul Masters including those from the Spirit Transmission Tower would have to be silenced!
That was clearly an impossibility!
Leng Yaozhu spoke again to reassure her, "Gu Yue, I understand your worries, but think about it carefully. This kid dares to use a Divine Artifact in front of everyone. If it's not because he has absolute confidence, then he must be out of his mind!"
"What do you think, is he that kind of person?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yue's mind cleared up considerably. Right, she had forgotten one thing!
That was that Divine Artifacts acknowledge their masters. Apart from the recognized Tang Wulin, it was impossible for others to use it!
"Thank you for the reminder, Pagoda Master. I was overthinking it!"
Leng Yaozhu waved her hand dismissively, then asked curiously, "Setting aside those concerns, looking at the situation, it won't be long before Tang Wulin wins. Have you thought about what you'll do after that?"
Gu Yue's cheeks flushed slightly, and she whispered softly, "That... I'll follow the Pagoda Master's orders!"
Hearing these words, the former couldn't help but lament inwardly, "This child can remain composed in the face of any difficulty, but if it has anything to do with Tang Wulin, his mood is affected!"
"I just don't know whether their being together is good or bad!"
…
Looking at Chi Shanming who had only received minor injuries, Tang Wulin expressed his surprise, "You actually withstood my Thousand Men's Point!"
This was after all unleashed by the Sea God's Trident, whose power was countless times stronger than the Golden Dragon Spear!
Chi Shanming wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with great satisfaction, "Tang Wulin, don't underestimate others. Even if you possess a Divine Artifact, there is still a gap between our Soul Power!"
Tang Wulin pursed his thin lips, "Oh... can you still catch this next move?"
The third move, Disorderly Storm!
This move, even he had not used before, for it would consume a vast amount of Soul Power and physical strength. Now was the perfect time to test its might!
He gripped the long spear tightly, rapidly swinging it, throwing out hundreds of mirror-like transparent ripples within a few seconds...
Seeing this scene, Chi Shanming asked with doubt, "Is this level of attack meant to provoke me?"
For after all, these ripples seemed to possess not the slightest bit of power!
But when these ripples hit the various parts of his body, something unexpected happened!!
The ripples quickly spread to his other limbs, forcibly suppressing both his Soul Power and movement...
Chi Shanming finally panicked, "What... what kind of move is this that makes me unable to move?"
Tang Wulin approached him calmly, and placed the Sea God's Trident against his neck...
He spoke indifferently, "This move is called Disorderly Storm. Anyone touched by the ripples will be restrained for eight seconds, Chi Shanming, you were too careless!"
Chi Shanming opened his mouth and presented a bitter smile, "I... I lost!"
If this had not been a competition to select a spouse but rather actual combat, eight seconds of control would have been more than enough to make him dead beyond dead!!
Seeing this, the person in charge of the competition excitedly announced, "Congratulations to Tang Wulin, for becoming the winner of this marriage recruiting contest! According to the rules, he will receive an Immortal Herb and the support of the Spirit Pagoda!"
"And he also has the chance to become the Young Pavilion Master's companion!!"
Hearing these words, Tang Wulin finally showed a dispirited smile on his face. "Gu Yue, did you see that? I won!"
With that said, a strong sense of dizziness overcame him, and he involuntarily fell backwards...
With a flash of silver light, Gu Yue, who had appeared abruptly, reached out to steady him...
She softly spoke, "Yes, I saw everything."
It was then that the spectators realized that the marriage recruiting contest had come to an end, and they began to exclaim, "Too powerful, this Tang Wulin is definitely the number one in his class!"
"Indeed, Titled Douluos are almost powerless in front of him, which Soul Douluo could achieve this feat!"
"This Tang Wulin seems to be the captain of the Shrek Seven Monsters, no wonder he has such terrifying strength!"
Even some inner court students shouted, "Long live Shrek Academy!! Long live Shrek Academy!!"
"Our senior did not let us down, seizing the final victory."
"Even though we didn't help much was, just witnessing this scene is satisfying enough."
