Tang Wulin vs Wu Zhangkong

Wu Zhangkong sword and Tang Wulin fist both generated a fierce gust of wind as their direct attacks connected.

Tang Wulin other mighty fist flew straight towards Wu Zhangkong head, as the latter gently twisted his body to dodge and then thrust his mighty sword.

Tang Wulin kick up his leg to instantly knock Wu Zhangkong sword up as it thurst past his head.

They both back away from each other as Wu Zhangkong naturally begin to observe Tang Wulin next action. Accepting the alluring invitation, Tang Wulin charge at him with them going back to engaging in the close combat.

BAAM!

BAAAM!

Tang Wulin was deflecting and dodging Wu Zhangkong sword strikes as he progressively gets closer to him. Wu Zhangkong already predicting this backs off but Tang Wulin genuinely surprise him by gripping the sword.

"Not so fast."

'Magic Dragon Fist'

Wu Zhangkong eyes widen when he saw Tang Wulin fist glowing brilliantly bluely with fierce energy. He quickly let go of the sword and tries to back off.

Tang Wulin smirk as his fist extended out into a straight line, like a lance.

'Magic Dragon Lance.'

BANG!

Wu Zhangkong instantly lifts up his arm to block the attack that was aiming for his chest.

'What!'

Wu Zhangkong was genuinely shocked at the abnormal strength of the attack.

'What is that power? Is that his bloodline?'

Wu Zhangkong wasn't given much time to think as he saw Tang Wulin flick his hands up, a blue light shown at his feet.

'Dammit.'

'Magic Dragon Eruption.'

A deafening blast of raw energy erupts underneath Wu Zhangkong feet.

BOOM!

Tang Wulin saw the surge of raw energy sprouted from the ground. He then instantly thrust out his fist to meet the incoming punches.

'Left, Right, Up, Down and Front!.'

BANG!

BANG!

Tang Wulin was shifting his body to receive every fierce attack from countless numerous phantom images that look like Wu Zhangkong.

They were instantly striking Tang Wulin everywhere but he resolutely kept on deflecting, meeting and indeed taking some hits.

Tang Wulin had to instantly drop the sword to adequately defend against all of them.

Wu Zhangkong appeared behind Tang Wulin with the sword and thrust behind him.

'Magic Dragon Explosion."

Before the sword could reach Tang Wulin, he exerts his soul power in all possible directions, intentionally causing a massive explosion.

The mighty explosion caught Wu Zhangkong by mild surprise as he quickly moves away from Tang Wulin but not before the sword was destroyed in the blast.

'Magic Dragon Flare.'

Countless specks of energy race through the dust of cloud towards Wu Zhankong. He begins dodging the energy blasts while maintaining continuous track of Tang Wulin, his eyes lightening up.

BOOM!

Wu Zhangkong sped away from the original spot, as an eruption happened. This kept on happening as he was moving gracefully. He then quickly twists his body as an energy lance pass through the air.

BOOM!

He sidesteps the stealthy foot that came down like a mighty spear and then deflects an Incoming punch.

BAAM!

BOOM!

Tang Wulin and Wu Zhangkong exchange over a thirty punches in the second that passed by.

Wu Zhangkong notices a discernible golden ray of light coming from Tang Wulin right hand. A layer of golden scales began covering his right arm with five claws forming at the tips.

Wu Zhangkong felt that hand was too dangerous, so he quickly employs his abilities.

'Mystic Hands.'

'Dark Jade Hands.'

BOOM!

PSSST!

Wu Zhangkong mystic hands and Tang Wulin dragon claws both clashes against each other with neither willing to give up the advantage.

Their spiritual power instantly started to come out and clash against each other. Wu Zhangkong started to be pushed back, by Tang Wulin overwhelming strength.

'Did the claw double his strength!'

Wu Zhangkong disappeared like a phantom to dodge the eruption coming from his feet. Multiple eruptions were appearing everywhere Wu Zhangkong tried to land at, forcing him to keep dodging.

Wu Zhangkong eyes widen as he saw that the boy attacks were keeping up with his superior speed.

'He isn't exactly keeping up with them but predicting where I would go.'

Wu Zhangkong stops instantly and backflips away from a pair of continuous chains appearing out of the floor he was going to.

'This kid…'

'He can create weapon variations too.'

Wu Zhangkong cursed as he saw a chain of energy sprouting out of the ground again. His figure dance through the gaps in the chain, while dodging the energy lances that aim for his head.

Suddenly he jumps up as he saw the chains trying to bind him but then.

'Magic Dragon Tornado.'

Wu Zhangkong felt his body abruptly stop and then being pulled towards a swirling of energy. He realizes he couldn't escape without using his soul skills or martial soul.

He saw the swirl of radiant energy shaped like the center of a tornado.

SHWOOO!

Wu Zhangkong saw as the below him was being pulled to the center of the tornado. Knowing this couldn't go on for any longer, he quickly took out his belt and thrust toward the energy tornado.

When the belt made contact with the tornado, cleaving it apart.

'Magic Dragon Roar.'

Wu Zhangkong saw a beam of pure energy racing towards him from up in the air. He tried to move out of the way but found his leg being cover with Bluesilver grass.

'When did he!'

He quickly aims the belt to disrupt the parts where the soul power was coming from, but it exploded.

Bang!

Taking the blast he tried twisting his body to dodge the beam but found the beam expanded at the last min.

BOOM!

A large explosion took place, as it shook the building and destroyed the arena ring.

Tang Wulin observes the explosion with a smirk on his face as his body was falling to the ground.

'Magic Dragon Bluesliver bind.'

It was something he thought up in the fight. As he is fighting Wu Zhangkong, he secretly tried to see if he could conduct his Dragon Slayer power through his martial soul and surprisingly he could.

all that was left was to set up a trap where Wu Zhankong could get bind by it.

'After all, Wu Zhangkong believes I would never use my martial soul because of how useless it is.'

He knew that attack wouldn't have done too much damage to Wu Zhangkong. With the explosion from the binding and the beam, he should be at least injured.

"Enough. The fight is done."

The Dust was blown apart with a graceful swing of his stable belt. Tang Wulin was surprised Wu Zhangkong wasn't hurt. Wu Zhangkong used Controlling Crane Catching Dragon to redirect the beam to his side.

'This kid really planned out his attacks.'

Wu Zhangkong look around the arena and saw how destroyed it was, with the wall being blown apart by the excessive attacks. He examines his body, noting how only his arm and leg were only parts that sustain damage throughout the whole fight.

'The fusion of the Bluesilver grass and that other power was ingenious. Then being able to transform it into a bomb on contact.'

He saw Gu Yue and Xie Xie back away with a shock expression on their faces. Not like he could blame them, as the abilities shocked him of Tang Wulin.

'Just what kind of monster did I pick up.'

#

Gu Yue was shocked, which was an understatement. She knew first hand how strong teacher Wu Zhangkong was. He was skilled enough to instantly crush her and Xie Xie in a matter of seconds.

She never in her dreams would expect that a kid her age would be able to keep up with teacher Wu Zhangkong. Then he constantly put him on the defensive.

Not only that but her body was still recovering from the fear of those attacks she witnessed. She wasn't scared of the damage or the strange power.

She was anxious about the overwhelming feelings she got from them, it was honestly horrifying. It as if her instinct was screaming hysterically at her to run and never turn back.

Then there was in contrast that golden dragon claw that caused her to experience an overwhelming sense of personal familiarity.

She turns to Xie Xie who was shivering too but not as bad as her. His face while shock at first, turn to anger and then relentless determination. She heard about how Xie Xie declared he was going to beat Tang Wulin.

After she saw him, fight Wu Zhangkong she had her doubts, if Xie Xie grasped what he was getting himself into. She could tell that Tang Wulin plan out his attacks and improvise as the battle went on.

Zeref was merely sitting on top beams holding up the yellow lights, as he witnesses the fight. He knew Acnologia was having fun when he sparred with Wu Zhangkong.

Even if the later wasn't going out, to Acnologia the fact, he could use his Dragon Slayer Magic against someone must have been bliss for him.

Acnologia ability to actually pinpoint his enemy quirks, strengths, habits, and weakness were very terrifying. He was able to that in a matter of seconds when the battle started.

Wu Zhangkong had him beat in speed, defense, reaction, and stamina but Acnologia close those gap with his vast experience. He used his Dragon Slayer power to distract and attack Wu Zhangkong from all sides.

'To Wu Zhangkong, Acnologia Dragon Slayer Powers must have rattled him. Him dodging was the right answer.'

'It was too bad for him that Magic, in general, is all about a person imagination. So the only real limit was Aconologia imagination and his soul power.'

Zeref already could tell Wu Zhangkong was a shock at how versatile Acnologia attacks were.

'The ability to constantly adapt and plan ahead.'

'It was no wonder he dominated the dragon festival and killed all dragons on both sides.'

Zeref knew Acnologia had fought or experienced every magic power back in Fiore except for a few. While this world possessed some fascinating power, at the core it was about the same as magic.

'Then again, that teacher Wu Zhangkong is absolutely extraordinary. He was able to keep up with Aconologia constant barrage of attacks and quickly escape some nasty predicament.'

'But then again, Acnologia soul power was running out.'

Zeref smiled knowingly as he saw the grin on Acnologia starting to fade away. He knew he had a huge battle lust for challenging people he believes are strong.

'What a strange entity. I wonder, which of you is the real Acnologia.'

Tang Wulin could only sigh, at how to outclass he was toward Wu Zhangkong. He wasn't naive enough to believe he would have won, had the battle kept on going. Wu Zhangkong was holding back a lot on him.

His soul power was running on low, the more he utilized his Dragon Slayer abilities. Wu Zhangkong wasn't using any soul power so he couldn't absorb any to refill is reservoirs.

It has been a remarkably long time since Acnologia perceive how weak he was. He subsequently turned towards Xie Xie and Gu Yue. Speaking of Gu Yue, that girl was strange to him.

'Strangely enough, she smells just like Na'er.'

'Not only that but they have the same dragon scent.'

He asks Xie Xie what her martial soul was before they come to the building. He told him it was called Elementalist, not a dragon martial soul. Which begs the question where is the dragon scent coming from.

The door to the building opens up and Long Henxu came inside with a furious expression on his face.

"What the hell is with the noise here!"

Long Henxu could perceive the sounds of battle from his office. He wouldn't mind as much if it was only a few but it kept on happening. He hastily vacated his office to track the noise, with other students and teacher following behind him.

Wu Zhangkong went to go talk to Long Henxu, somehow persuading him to calm down and go back to his office. He then turned towards the trio and started talking.

"I am sure in this battle you already understand your weakness."

Tang Wulin nodded his head. He realizes how much his skills drain his soul power. While this wouldn't be too horrible fighting 1v1, it would hurt him if he didn't take a break to recover.

Wu Zhangkong nodded his head. He then asks Tang Wulin what was the ability he used in their battle.

Tang Wulin told them it was a technique he developed called Dragon Slayer and the golden arm comes from his bloodline.

Gu Yue unconsciously flinch from the name, while Xie Xie shiver from it. They both felt the name was too dominating and wonder how true the name is. Wu Zhangkong nodded his head and begin to speak agian.

"There will a class promotion tournament coming up in three months. At the moment I have Xie Xie and you included in the match. Originally I would be training you all in gaining combat experience, which will still be the same. But you Tang Wulin would be training in how to work as a team with Gu Yue and Xie Xie."

Wu Zhangkong told them, this competition undoubtedly requires them to work together as a successful team or he will disqualify their class. He turns to Xie Xie and Gu Yue while stating it been a week yet their essential teamwork hasn't gotten any better.

"If you guys, can't work together as a team. In that case, there will be no class five participation in the tournament."

"Tang Wulin, I will check your spiritual power now. I already check Gu Yue and Xie Xie ones."

Tang Wulin went through the spiritual power test, and the result was ridiculous. Wu Zhangkong was struggling to comprehend the absurd number.

"Tang Wulin spiritual power... 3,000."

Xie Xie spiritual power was 29, which stunned him somewhat and Gu Yue 119 was something already amazing. But Tang Wulin spiritual power compels him to question whether the machine was broken or if this kid was broken.

'What the hell, overwhelming strength and now spiritual power.'

Xie Xie himself while shock felt it was in nature considering how many outrageous thing Tang Wulin has done already. Gu Yue was blanking out, wondering if the boy in front of her was really the same age.

The spiritual power of 3,000 is already the spirit sea realm. At this level, one would be able to support five yellow spirit souls or three purple spirit souls. In fact, one could even support a single black spirit soul!

Apart from the effects on spiritual power, the Spirit Sea realm could also help a Soul Master cultivate to six or seven rings. This caused Wu Zhangkong to really want Tang Wulin to focus on becoming closer to his teammates.

'His talent is too heaven-defying, and he really doesn't need anyone.'

'But how sad would it be if he reaches the top alone.'

Wu Zhangkong still regards Tang Wulin as one of his precious students, even if he only been with him for 2 days. He refuses to allow one of his student to experience the path of the lonely.

'Even if you reach the top, what the point if you're alone.'

He then turned around and promptly dismisses everyone. The trio was walking away, none saying anything even as they parted ways.

Tang Wulin thinking carefully about the premise of working together with someone else, Xie Xie thoughts on the gap between him and Tang Wulin. Gu Yue thoughts on Tang Wulin himself.

"Teamwork? That going being a tough wall for you."

Tang Wulin disregards Zeref comment as he continues to his dorm. Zeref look at Xie Xie who had his head down, with hands balling into a fist.

'Yep, with no possible interference, Acnologia won't be interested in working together with any of them. Espiouly since he doesn't understand the value or benefit of it.'
