Chapter 18: They're clearly brothers!
Since his brief encounter with Tang Wulin, Yan Feng's wariness of Tang Wulin has deepened.
Feeling that he was in a difficult position, he decided to temporarily avoid Tang Wulin's limelight.
So he decided to take a stroll through the Soul Guidance Battle Zone to observe the general level of the Shrek Academy students.
In the audience, Yan Feng sat on the stands with his arms tightly crossed and his face expressionless, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay.
Amidst the noise, Yan Feng caught a glimpse of a figure reflected on the back of the seat in front of him.
The next moment, a cold voice rang out from behind him.
I didn't know who my collaborator was until now. Oh, it's you, Yan Feng.
Yan Feng glanced back and saw a dark-skinned, thin boy with black hair that reached his shoulders standing quietly behind him.
Gu Yu, Martial Soul: Ghost Sparrow, Agility-based Evil Soul Master.
Yan Feng quietly moved one seat inside.
Gu Yu didn't say anything and sat down without hesitation.
Looking at the smile on Gu Yu's face, Yan Feng calmly said:
"Don't think you can rest easy just because I'm your partner. Do you know who you're supposed to be monitoring?"
Gu Yu crossed his legs and laughed, "Among all my peers in the sect, the only one I can't really beat is you. To be honest, at first I thought you were the one being monitored, but now that you're here, what do I have to be afraid of?"
Yan Feng didn't speak, but just stared quietly at another spot in the stands.
Tang Ya, Bei Bei, Huo Yuhao.
Yan Feng recognized them. When he first arrived at the academy, he used all his speed to search for information about Tang Sect disciples from various channels and eventually identified these three people.
"What are the Tang Clan people doing here? Team building? That guy called Thunderbolt Baby is really strong, even he came specifically to watch the match. Could it be that I've run into some really impressive people?"
Just as he was thinking this, Yan Feng suddenly caught a glimpse of another figure.
Upon seeing her, Yan Feng's pupils contracted.
Not far away, Wang Dong pulled the hood of his clothes over his head and cautiously peered toward the arena.
"It's His Highness's roommate. This combination... could it be..."
Upon realizing this, Yan Feng suddenly understood something, and his brows furrowed deeply.
Beside him, Gu Yu asked, "Hey, are you keeping us in suspense? Who exactly is that person?"
Yan Feng withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "I'll give you a chance. Look with your own eyes, and I guarantee you won't be disappointed."
Soon, the crowd began to stir, and two figures slowly emerged from the arena below.
After examining it carefully for a moment, Gu Yu asked in confusion:
"What's wrong with these two? Nothing special, except one of them is a little bit more handsome than me. Are you talking about him? Do I know him? What's his name?"
Yan Feng calmly replied, "Tang Wulin."
"What?!" Upon hearing this, Gu Yu slammed his hand on his seat, almost standing up. His pupils dilated in shock as he exclaimed:
"How is that possible? He's His Highness the Holy Son?"
"Silence!"
Yan Feng immediately roared in anger. Gu Yu also realized the problem and quickly asked in a low voice:
"Holy Son, I mean, Tang Wulin, why is he here? Are we monitoring him? Why?"
Yan Feng sneered, "So you do know him?"
Gu Yu said helplessly, "Stop teasing me. I am a core disciple of the sect. Speaking of which, this guy is really mysterious. There are only rumors that he is powerful, outstanding, and ruthless. He has executed many sect members and treated them like enemies."
But he has always been the most trusted person of the Supreme Leader, so why was he sent to such a dangerous place to be monitored by us?
Yan Feng said, "Let's watch the match first. This cause and effect is a long story, and I will tell you everything in detail."
At this moment, on the arena, Xu Sanshi looked at Tang Wulin with a somewhat ferocious expression and said:
"Kid, since you're so cunning, don't expect me to show you any mercy with my fists. After you've learned your lesson, don't forget to tell me how to break the Dragon Whisker Needle."
Tang Wulin merely glanced at Huo Yuhao in the stands with a hint of surprise in his eyes, without replying. As the referee announced the start of the match, amidst cheers from almost unanimously Xu Sanshi's fans, the competition officially commenced.
Xu Sanshi quickly closed in, and after getting close to Tang Wulin, he suddenly activated Xuanming Displacement, appearing behind Tang Wulin. Then, amplified by the power of Xuanming, he activated Xuanming Shock, preparing a combo to take down Tang Wulin.
But just as Xu Sanshi was full of confidence, his expression suddenly changed, and he realized something was wrong.
After being hit by such a solid soul-enhancing skill, Tang Wulin simply drifted away to dissipate the force, showing no signs of being stunned.
Xu Sanshi looked closely and saw that Tang Wulin was surrounded by a layer of golden light.
The second soul skill of the Qi and Blood Soul Ring: Golden Dragon Overlord Body!
Seeing Tang Wulin's relaxed demeanor, Xu Sanshi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, thinking to himself:
"Damn it, isn't this guy a Blue Silver Grass martial soul? How come he's so durable?"
Moreover, this guy's reaction speed is astonishingly fast. He didn't seem to feel any urgency at all when faced with my sudden change of tactics, as if he had anticipated it.
Thinking of this, Xu Sanshi couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He had just used too many soul skills at once, which had consumed a lot of energy. However, seeing how powerful Tang Wulin's soul skills were, he must have consumed a lot of energy as well.
With this in mind, Xu Sanshi regained his confidence and charged towards Tang Wulin once again.
In the stands, Tang Ya was vigorously waving her fists, cheering for Tang Wulin.
Meanwhile, Bei Bei silently placed her hand on Huo Yuhao's shoulder, transferring soul power to him to help him continue using the Spirit Detection Sharing technique.
Just then, Tang Ya suddenly caught sight of a figure to the side. She was startled and asked:
"Hey? What are you doing here?"
Wang Dong, who was standing to the side, was also taken aback. He looked at Tang Ya and asked in confusion:
"Huh? Have we met before?"
Tang Ya then realized that this wasn't Tang Wulin. Looking at Wang Dong's pinkish-blue hair, she exclaimed in surprise:
"Huh? That's strange. Do you know Tang Wulin?"
Wang Dong nodded blankly and said, "Yes, I know him. We're in the same dorm."
Tang Ya stroked her chin and said, "That's really strange, Bei Bei, come and take a look."
Beibei turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Tang Ya said, "Come on, junior, cover your hair up."
Although Wang Dong was a little confused, it sounded like they knew Tang Wulin, so she subconsciously pulled her hood down to cover her distinctive hair.
Bebe, standing nearby, was also taken aback, frowning as she said, "Is it really such a coincidence?"
Wang Dong asked nervously, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Tang Ya asked, "Are you the older brother or the younger brother?"
Recalling their previous conversation about birthdates, Wang Dong subconsciously said, "I remember you're the older brother, right?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Wang Dong realized something was wrong and frantically waved his hands, saying:
"No, no, no! My name is Wang Dong, he is not my brother."
Tang Ya said, "Who would believe that? Look at yourself in the mirror! Cover your hair, you two look exactly alike!"
Wang Dong was shocked and quickly rubbed his hair, saying:
"How could that be? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Tang Ya said speechlessly, "I've been staring at you for so long, and the more I look, the more certain I am! You're telling me I'm wrong?"
If you two weren't close, why would you have come all the way here to watch the game?
Wasn't it you who blocked Tang Wulin's way at the grilled fish stall before?
"It's only been a few days since school started? You're already willing to stand up for a new friend and fight with an upperclassman? I don't believe it."
Wang Dong was speechless. Not long ago, she was alone and felt increasingly embarrassed. Now she was caught in a vortex of conflicting emotions.
Firstly, she felt that Tang Wulin had wronged her terribly, and she was filled with resentment towards this guy.
On the other hand, Wang Dong also felt a strange protectiveness and desire to control Tang Wulin, wanting to get close to him, but also wanting to get close to him.
Wang Dong was afraid that Tang Wulin would retaliate against her because of what happened to her. She thought that only a sincere apology could solve the problem. However, while the issue of saving face was one thing, Wang Dong couldn't bear to part with that photo.
But if she didn't apologize, an overwhelming sense of guilt would surge within Wang Dong, making her unable to feel at ease.
In short, after a series of internal struggles, Wang Dong decided to watch the match first, since watching the match wouldn't mean facing Tang Wulin directly.
