Chapter 1330: Spirit Soul Battle

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Geyang had been in contact with Qiangu Dongfeng. Aside from leading the public opinion in the federation, Qiangu Dongfeng had also ordered Zhang Geyang to discern the newly appointed Sect Master of the Tang Sect and his objective behind his journey to the Star Luo Empire. He was also tasked to get in their way and foil their plans.

Hence when En Ci contacted Zhang Geyang, he had agreed to be the empire’s representative in today’s Battle of Five Gods without any hesitation. At the same time, En Xi had also comforted him. He told him that the empire still trusted the Spirit Pagoda.

Zhang Geyang could feel from his words that the empire seemed to be intending to attack Tang Sect and suppress it to some extent. This made him feel at ease. He had been well-prepared for today’s battle. If he could defeat Tang Wulin, Spirit Pagoda would surely grow in might. Their situation in the Star Luo Empire would also be stabilized.

“Sect Master Tang, Pagoda Master Zhang, please get ready. You may unleash your spirit souls after ten seconds.”

The entire coliseum quietened down as the commentator’s voice sounded.

When the commentator mentioned the name of Star Luo Empire’s representative for this match, the first thought of the ordinary citizens was that this would be an amusing battle. Tang Sect against Spirit Pagoda!

This would be really interesting. The collision of two great organizations. Who would be the final victor? Everyone looked forward to this match with anticipation. If Tang Sect could obtain the final victory, then without a doubt this newly appointed Sect Master would be like the sun in high noon. If Tang Wulin lost, everything Tang Sect had gained including the momentum from yesterday’s match, would all be for naught.

Hence, the second round of the Battle of Five Gods was clearly more important than the first round. It would also be more interesting. This was because the two opponents were like a pin against an awn. Today’s match would surely be more intense than the battle yesterday.

The countdown started and Tang Wulin’s eyes brightened up as well.

‘Hell Flame Douluo Zhang Geyang, bring it on!’

“Ten, nine, .., three, two, one.”

Both contestants seemed to flicker with radiance as the end of the countdown. Soul rings rose on their respective bodies.

Eight soul rings consecutively rose from underneath Tang Wulin’s feet. And naturally, his opponent Zhang Geyang had nine soul rings.

Tang Wulin’s soul rings could definitely be described as peculiar. His four black soul rings appeared one after another. Then, it was the greenish-gold soul ring followed by the orange-gold soul ring.

Zhang Geyang was startled when he saw the appearance of the orange-gold soul ring. As Spirit Pagoda’s deputy Pagoda Master, he knew what an orange-gold soul rings meant. The very first time an orange-gold soul ring made an appearance was on Spirit Pagoda’s founder, the Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao.

A soul ring of such color was of a soul spirit rank which Spirit Pagoda could not create. This meant that there was at least one great beast-ranked spirit soul on Tang Wulin’s body.

This discovery slightly changed Zhang Geyang’s expression.

The number of great beasts could be counted on one hand in today’s world. Without anyone knowing, this Sect Master of Tang Sect had actually already obtained one. This was incredible.

This was also En Ci’s and Dai Tianling’s first time seeing the soul rings on Tang Wulin’s body. They displayed expressions of shock when they saw the greenish-gold and orange-gold soul rings.

“Great beast spirit soul?” En Ci glanced at Hu Jie as he inwardly thought, ‘As expected, Tang Sect’s Sect Master had something up his own sleeve. No wonder he’s brave enough to accept the gamble. I never thought that he’d possess an orange-gold soul ring already.’

An orange-gold soul ring represented a great beast. There were three orange-gold soul rings on Tang Wulin’s body. This enhanced his body greatly. It was no wonder that he was able to fight against a nine-ringed Title Douluo-ranked expert with his eight-ringed cultivation base. This was largely related to the spirit soul on his body.

However, what caught the attention of experts such as En Ci and Zhang Geyang was Tang Wulin’s fifth soul ring. The greenish-gold color was too unique.

The basic colors of soul rings were white for ten years, yellow for a hundred years, purple for thousand years, black for ten thousand years, and red for a hundred thousand years.

Other than those colors, there were the orange-gold color and the legendary platinum color.

The orange-gold soul ring was something that could only be given to a soul master by a great beast with two hundred thousand years of cultivation base and the legendary platinum color could only be obtained from a million years spirit soul that only existed in the legends.

An orange-gold soul ring could occasionally be encountered in ten thousand years while the platinum soul ring was fabled to only have appeared on the Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao. It seemed as if Tang Sect’s founder Tang San had such a soul ring as well, but this information had yet to be confirmed. There were also some who said that a million-year soul ring was golden instead of platinum.

However, nobody could determine the truths about these things as the frequency of their appearances was too low. They could only be studied through the records.

However, the greenish-gold color soul ring such as the one on Tang Wulin’s body had never been seen before. There had never been any soul master with a greenish-gold soul ring.

It might not have been that shocking if it only were a single green soul ring. However, it had a golden tinge to it as well. This signified the rarity of this soul ring.

On Douluo Continent, whether it was a soul beast, martial soul, soul ring, or a soul bone, any powerful entity would have some element of gold to it.

So when Tang Wulin’s soul ring presented itself as greenish-gold, it greatly shocked everyone.

What kind of cultivation base gave rise to a greenish-gold soul ring?

Also, what did this greenish-gold soul ring mean?

Opposite to Tang Wulin, Zhang Geyang’s soul rings were much more normal. Five blacks and four reds, a total of nine soul rings. Yes, he had one more red hundred thousand year soul ring than the experts Tang Wulin had faced before. He also had one more red soul ring than the Smiley Face Douluo Hu Jie.

Red represented a hundred thousand years. Hundred thousand-year soul rings were already the limit for ordinary soul masters. Even experts of Zhang Geyang’s rank and his position in Spirit Pagoda did not have an orange-gold soul ring.

Hence, the first feeling he had was envy when he saw Tang Wulin’s orange-gold soul ring.

How could such a young fellow possess an orange-gold soul ring? Would he not become another great enemy of Spirit Pagoda if he was allowed to grow in the future? Take the Atlas Douluo Yun Ming as an example, he had suppressed Spirit Pagoda for nearly a hundred years!

Tang Wulin raised his right arm and pointed forward. A beam of golden light separated itself from his body as it shot towards Zhang Geyang in front of him.

The audience could immediately see a golden dragon as the golden light touched the ground.

That was right. It was a dragon and not a snake.

It had special Dragon Clan features. It did not have a pair of wings, but it had horns on its forehead. There were five claws underneath it and its entire body was covered in densely packed golden scales. It slithered and took off into midair. Its body’s length exceeded fifteen meters and it flickered with a golden radiance. The others could tell that it was unique from its appearance alone. It was Goldsong.

With the improvement in Tang Wulin’s cultivation base, he seldom used his spirit soul in actual combat. He was more willing to cultivate his own cultivation base. Every spirit soul he possessed grew with him. Among his spirit souls, the one that changed the most was Goldsong.

Even Tang Wulin could not understand why Goldsong had become the way it was now. It was different from a conventional giant dragon with a pair of wings. Goldsong looked like a five-clawed golden dragon. Albeit thicker, its scales were similar in shape with Tang Wulin’s. After it grew two horns on its forehead, it had experienced a transformation with deep slumber. It had only reawakened while Tang Wulin was on his way to the Star Luo Empire.

Goldsong’s eyes were completely golden in color. Anybody who looked at it now could never have thought that it was once a defective spirit soul.

Goldsong’s aura descended from the same roots as Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon King bloodline. It had released a heaven-shocking dragon’s roar when it appeared. It shook its head and flicked its tail as it charged towards Zhang Geyang.

Zhang Geyang unleashed his own spirit soul as well.

He was not shocked when he saw Tang Wulin’s spirit soul. In his eyes, this was only an elemental dragon that did not even have wings.

A giant beast materialized and shielded Zhang Geyang.

This huge beast was about ten meters in length and four meters in height. Its body was extremely tough and was covered in greenish-blue hair. It had a lion’s head, a baboon’s body, and a fierce tiger’s sharp claws. It seemed to possess various features of different fierce beasts. At the same time, its body burned with a dark blue flame. Its ice-cold gaze was locked onto Goldsong.

“Rawr!” This giant beast pounced forward with a furious roar. Its speed was incredible. The instant it pounced, its body suddenly became transparent. However, the dark blue flames on its body just burned brighter.

When a soul master picked a spirit soul, the most suitable spirit soul was surely one that resembled his own martial soul.

Simply put, if Tang Wulin’s spirit soul was the Bluesilver Emperor, it would be most suited to his Bluesilver Emperor martial soul. The only thing was that there was no place for him to find a Bluesilver Emperor martial soul. This was the case for Zhang Geyang’s spirit soul.
