Chapter 2128: Gu Yue's Lifelong Event (Seeking Subscriptions)_1

Tang Wulin gave a sheepish laugh, "Hehe... Although that's the case, since Hall Master Liang has brought food, I can't let it go to waste!"

Having said that, he picked up the food from the forging table and began tucking in...

Liang Xiaoyu chuckled softly, "Wulin, you really are straightforward, which must be one of the reasons why Hall Master Guo recommended you to be the Tang Sect Master!"

Guo Xiaoxu lifted her chin proudly, "That's right. Ever since Tang Wulin joined the Tang Sect, I've taken a liking to this kid. Plus, he has met the previous sect leader and received his praise, making him the perfect candidate!"

She then sighed, "What a pity, Sea God's Pavilion scooped him up first!"

However, Tang Wulin, who had been burying his head in his food, noticed Liang Xiaoyu's gaze still on him and asked in confusion, "Hall Master Liang, you've been staring at me; is there something else you want to say?"

Liang Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment before finally speaking up, "Well, I've actually been wanting to ask you about your divine artifact, the Sea God's Trident, right? How strong is its suppression against evil Soul Masters!"

"And what about the golden long spear you used that day? After being hit, I felt a significant amount of my life force being absorbed!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin explained, "The Sea God's Light doesn't have much of an effect in suppressing Ultimate Douluo and Super Douluo level evil Soul Masters, but for evil Soul Masters below the Titled Douluo level, it can completely crush their fighting spirit..."

"As for the golden long spear you mentioned, I call it the Golden Dragon Spear. It draws life force from any creature it hits! It's a weapon derived from my bloodline!!"

Liang Xiaoyu had a sudden realization, "I see, so the life force that was devoured from me was very slight because you held back, right?"

Tang Wulin didn't deny it, "Yes, after all, although the Golden Dragon Spear can draw life force, it can't be returned!"

Life force isn't something that can be replenished by rest alone!

Guo Xiaoxu smacked her lips, "That truly is a terrifying weapon, Hall Master Liang. You are lucky that Wulin here didn't go all out, otherwise, you would have lost quite a few years of your life!"

Liang Xiaoyu looked up at the sky outside the forging room, full of emotion, "Indeed, I'm now even more excited to see what sort of changes this young man will bring to the Tang Sect after he inherits it!"

Will the Tang Sect, because of his arrival, once again stand at the pinnacle of the Continent?

...

Spirit Pagoda! Within the Pagoda Master's rest chamber!

Gu Yue stared in astonishment at the smiling Leng Yaozhu seated before her, "A martial contest for marriage?? Pagoda Master, are you joking?"

She even suspected she was hallucinating!

Leng Yaozhu shook her head, "Gu Yue, I'm certainly not joking. You're not getting any younger; it's time to find a powerful and suitable partner for yourself!"

As her "daughter", Gu Yue's partner couldn't possibly be an ordinary person. For this reason, a martial contest for marriage was an excellent idea!

Gu Yue showed her resistance, "It won't do, a martial contest for marriage means there's no emotional foundation between the two parties, it will not lead to happiness!"

Leng Yaozhu patiently explained, "Gu Yue, matters of affection can grow over time. Besides, the martial contest for marriage I'll hold for you will be open to the young elites of the three great empires!"

"This means that the winner is bound to be the strongest among the young generation of the three great empires! Only such a person is worthy of becoming your partner!"

After hearing all this, Gu Yue's expression was still very dissatisfied, "No, I absolutely disagree with this matter!"

Seeing her reaction, Leng Yaozhu sensed something was afoot and asked in puzzlement, "Gu Yue, why are you so resistant to a martial contest for marriage? Is it possible... you already have someone you like?"

Gu Yue's face instantly flushed with a hint of red, and she softly acknowledged with a "hm"...

Leng Yaozhu propped up her chin, pondering, "Let me guess, it must be that boy named Tang Wulin from last time, right..."

Gu Yue exclaimed in surprise, "Pagoda Master, how do you know?"

She had never mentioned Tang Wulin in front of the other party!

Leng Yaozhu cast a glance at the former, "It's quite simple, the way you two looked at each other at that time was clearly different from the other Shrek Seven Monsters!"

Gu Yue pursed her thin lips and tacitly acknowledged this...

Seeing this, Leng Yaozhu continued to patiently guide her, "If it's him, then we should definitely hold the martial arts contest for seeking a spouse!"

"As long as this child can defeat all his rivals, he can then rightfully be with you!"

"I believe the council members should have no objections either!"

Gu Yue seemed intrigued but still hesitant, "But..."

Leng Yaozhu pressed her again, "Or is it that you, Gu Yue, have no confidence in Tang Wulin, thinking he's weaker than the others?"

Gu Yue's beautiful eyes sparkled with a hint of light, "No... That won't happen. Among those of the same level, Wulin's strength is undoubtedly the strongest!"

Initially, she had dared not claim such a thing, but after Tang Wulin obtained the Sea God's Trident, his strength had taken a qualitative leap!

Even Yuanen Yehui might not necessarily be his match!

After taking a deep breath, Gu Yue seriously said to Leng Yaozhu, "Pagoda Master, although I know you are using reverse psychology, I still think that Wulin will be the final victor!"

The corners of Leng Yaozhu's mouth curved upward, "Then let's joyfully decide on that! The date for the martial arts contest for seeking a spouse will be set three weeks from now!"

"The winner will not only get an Immortal Herb but will also receive resources from the Spirit Pagoda!"

Gu Yue nodded, "Just as the Pagoda Master says!"

In her heart, she silently thought, "Wulin, I have so much faith in you, don't let me down!"

...

After this matter was settled, Gu Yue immediately notified her teacher, Zhen Hua!

After listening, Zhen Hua's eyes became increasingly dangerous, "A martial arts contest for seeking a spouse? Child, did the Spirit Pagoda's master coerce you? If so, tell your teacher. I'll definitely seek justice for you!"

Gu Yue, fearing he had misunderstood, quickly denied, "No, Teacher, this is my own wish!"

Hearing this, Zhen Hua's brows furrowed slightly, "But if you do this, that kid Wulin... wait, don't tell me this is your purpose?"

Gu Yue earnestly replied, "Yes, I believe Wulin won't lose to anyone! So, please also attend, Teacher!"

Zhen Hua pledged solemnly, "Child, this is a major event in your life. Of course, I will attend. Not just that, Sect Master Mu will join me. We'll make sure you don't lose face!"

The nearby Mu Ye wore a displeased face, "Hey, hey, old man, when did I say I was going with you? She's your disciple, not mine!"

Zhen Hua glared at him, "What if that kid Tang Wulin is also going?"

Mu Ye paused, then contemplated, "Then I'll consider it!"

Zhen Hua put on a heartbroken expression, "Mu Ye, after so many years of friendship, you actually need to consider? We must sever ties, absolutely sever ties!"

Mu Ye's mouth twitched a few times, "Stop, stop, I'll go, okay? Really!"

Zhen Hua immediately brightened up and spoke into the communicator to Gu Yue on the other end, "Child, Sect Master Mu has just agreed. Even if that kid Tang Wulin doesn't win, no one will dare force you to be with someone you dislike!"
