It was actually possible to kill him with those two attacks. If they had not been deadly, Qiangu Dieting and Qiangu Dongfeng would have been able to tell. In fact, even Elder Long and the others thought that Tang Wulin was severely injured, let alone everybody else.
She was capable of controlling her strength to such a minute extent. Tang Wulin examined his conscience and acknowledged that he was unable to do that. This was a real disparity. Gu Yuena’s spiritual cultivation base was definitely superior to his. In fact, she could possibly be far beyond him.
She had always been improving herself too. Moreover, her abilities were far more powerful than he had imagined. Judging from the battle, Tang Wulin could almost confirm that Gu Yuena was on the same level as a powerhouse that had just reached Limit Douluo-rank.
It had only been a few years! Her growth rate was very impressive. Frankly, Qiangu Zhangting was not even worthy of carrying Gu Yuena’s shoes.
Those were her genuine abilities. Tang Wulin’s spiritual cultivation base had already reached the Spirit Domain realm to the point of Thought Concretization, but as he saw it, Gu Yuena’s spiritual cultivation base was as deep as the abyss. He found that he could not see the edge at all. What sort of realm was that? Perhaps, it was already the peak of the Spirit Domain realm. Not even a quasigod-ranked powerhouse would necessarily possess such a powerful spiritual cultivation base.
She was already so powerful, yet Tang Wulin was still ranting about wanting to protect her. In fact, he had even been complacent about his abilities. There was much more that he could improve upon so he could become even more powerful.
He tidied up his train of thought gradually. His willpower had been tested after experiencing countless confrontations. Soon enough, he suppressed the negative emotions and shifted his attention to his elevation.
His abilities were the foundation of everything else. He would need to possess sufficiently powerful abilities no matter what. At least, he would need to surpass Gu Yuena’s abilities. He could only help her if he had sufficient abilities or…
His mind became focused once again. Tang Wulin got up from the bed and took a glance at his room.
It seemed to be some kind of hostel that appeared extremely ordinary, but also very clean. The blanket had a faint sundried scent that smelled dried and pleasant.
He walked to the front of the window and pulled open the curtains to take a look outside. Everything he could see seemed to be calm, as if nothing had happened. However, Tang Wulin had a feeling that this was the calm before the storm.
The Joust For A Spouse Festival’s finale had truly shocked the entire continent. It was the first time the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy had ever joined hands to make such a brazen display in public. The effect had grabbed everyone’s attention and left them all astonished.
Even though Xie Xie had not explained in detail earlier, Tang Wulin could figure out how huge the effect of this incident was. It was equal to Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect partnering up to go against the Spirit Pagoda. Moreover, they did not show the slightest respect for the Federation.
The most terrifying part was the influence displayed by Shrek Academy, because of which even the War God Hall refused to stand on the Spirit Pagoda’s side.
There were four Limit Douluos combined from the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy and also an unknown number of powerhouses that came in secret.
Ever since Shrek City was destroyed, this was the first time the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy had made a public appearance together. It was quite apparent that the reconstructed Shrek still had an abundance of inner secrets and the support of four great Limit Douluos. It was enough to terrorize any great force out there.
The Spirit Pagoda’s Joust For A Spouse Festival this time could be described as being reduced to a chaotic mess. The only bright point was that the Silver Dragon Princess Gu Yuena had managed to defeat the Tang Sect’s Sect Master Tang Wulin.
Even so, no matter how one looked at it, the battle appeared to show that they were in love but forced to engage in a fight. The Tang Sect’s Sect Master was in love with the Silver Dragon Princess. Moreover, one could tell from their exchange that these two were definitely a couple in the past. Otherwise, they would not have said the words that they had.
All at once, these topics spread across the entire Douluo Continent like wildfire. Everyone, including people staying in remote areas, would gather and discuss the complicated relationship between these great forces.
“How are you?” The Amorous Douluo pushed the door open and entered the room.
“Your Excellency,” Tang Wulin turned around and said respectfully, “I’m fine.”
Zang Xin took a deep look at him. “Are you really alright?”
Tang Wulin nodded without the slightest hesitation.
Zang Xin smiled and heaved a soft sigh. He said, “Amorous love loathes itself for wrongly devoting love for the heartless, huh?”
Tang Wulin could not help laughing. “Your Excellency, you’re not going to launch your domain at me, right?”

Zang Xin said, “It seems like you are really doing alright there. Could it be that you’ve formed some sort of agreement with that girl?”
Tang Wulin immediately had a strange look on his face. There was a saying that ‘old ginger is spicier than new’ – experience counts. Zang Xin was already capable of figuring something out just by looking at Tang Wulin’s mannerisms.
“I suppose you can consider there is, or perhaps not.” Tang Wulin had no idea how to answer the Amorous Douluo’s question.
Zang Xin frowned and said, “The little girl is quite impressive. The abilities she displayed the other day surprised all of us. We thought that you were a monster, but we didn’t expect that your Shrek Academy had even cultivated another little monster that was no weaker than you. Elder Long said that her spiritual power has surpassed us all.”
Tang Wulin was astonished. “Even Elder Long?”
Zang Xin nodded without the slightest hesitation.
The Light Dark Douluo Long Yeyue could be described as the most powerful person of the four Limit Douluos from the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy. Possibly, she was even slightly more powerful than the Heartless Douluo.
If even Elder Long had acknowledged that her spiritual cultivation base was inferior to Gu Yuena’s, one could imagine how powerful Gu Yuena’s spiritual power had become.
Zang Xin spoke in a deep voice, “Is the young lady hungry for power?”
Tang Wulin shook his head. “No, I believe that she is not that kind of person.”
Zang Xin gazed deeply at Tang Wulin. “It seems like you know something about her.”
Tang Wulin heaved a sigh. “Much of it is just conjectures and I can’t tell for sure. However, I can at least confirm that her ties with the Spirit Pagoda are certainly not harmonious. In fact, it’s highly possible that it’s a hostile relationship.”
Zang Xin spoke, “You’ll still need to manage the issues with her delicately. The girl’s potential is limitless and it’s hard to tell what she will be capable of in the future. All of you are still young. If you can get her return to your side one day, that would be for the best. Otherwise, you must be mentally prepared for the very likely possibility that she will end up as your opponent in a direct collision one day.”
Tang Wulin nodded. “I understand.”
Zang Xin said, “Alright, let’s not talk about her first. After the Joust For A Spouse Festival ended, the situation became a little chaotic. The parliament’s Dove Faction had proposed to that our Tang Sect’s officially treasonous organization once again, but this has had some major opposition from the Hawk Faction which is mostly led by the Spirit Pagoda. However, the situation is much better this time. At least, many people from the Independent Faction have already stood on Dove Faction’s side. Even though it remains to be the weaker party, but it is still much better than previously. At the same time, there are already some forces that announced their support in the reconstruction of Shrek Academy now.”
Tang Wulin’s eyes glowed brightly. “What are those forces?”
Zang Xin smiled. “Shrek’s influence is certainly capable of stirring the entire continent. Almost all the members of the Independent Faction and the Dove Faction have declared their support. We had already formed strong ties with these members. Moreover, there are some big brothers in the Hawk Faction that have also expressed their support for the reconstruction of the academy.”
“Hawk Faction?” Tang Wulin had an astonished expression. The support from the Independent Faction and the Dove Faction was not a surprise at all. The original Shrek Academy was headed by the leaders of the Independent Faction. Immediately after the academy was destroyed, the Independent Faction had begun on a downward trend which had continued over the past few years. Now that Shrek Academy was remade, the faction would need to express their support, of course, especially after Shrek Academy had built such huge momentum during the Joust For A Spouse Festival the other day.
However, Tang Wulin had genuinely never expected that support would come from the Hawk Faction as well.
“The first party that expressed its support for Shrek Academy’s reconstruction was the Southern Army Corps.” Zang Xin’s lips cracked into a faint smile.
The regimental commander of the Southern Army Corps was Yue Zhengyu’s grandfather. He was the head of the Holy Angel Clan. His support represented all of the Holy Angel Clan and the entire Southern Army Corps.
The Southern Army Corps could be described as the corps with the most concentrated authority out of the great army corps in the Federation. The Holy Angel Clan operated the army for thousands of years so they were so deeply seated that even the Federation dared not change the commissions assigned to the Southern Army Corps easily.
Due to the Holy Angel Douluo Yue Zhengen’s cultivation base and position, he would never show support to Shrek just because of Yue Zhengyu. It was due to Shrek’s influence and also for the future alliance between the academy and the Holy Angel Clan.
On the other hand, Southern Army Corps made up about one-seventh of the fighting forces in the entire federal army! The support of this army corps would mean a lot to them.
“We have the support of the Blood God Army too.” The smile on Zang Xin’s face grew thicker.
The Bright Mirror Douluo Zhang Huanyun was a Limit Douluo-ranked powerhouse. Even though the Blood God Army was not in the military’s listing, could any other army corps ever compare to the Blood God Army’s fighting capacity? The Blood God Army was guarding the abyssal plane’s passage, so their support was more of the moral kind.
The support of two Limit Douluo-ranked military big brothers was certainly vital.
“Most importantly…” There was a hint of playfulness to Zang Xin’s smile now.
What else could be more important than the support from the Southern Army Corps and the Blood God Army? Tang Wulin looked at Zang Xin in astonishment.
“The War God Hall has declared its support.”
