--If hateful setbacks make you taste bitter fruit, friend, rise up and you will taste the joy of life.
Dragon Emperor Douluo, Tang Lingluo
————————————————————————————————————————
"Let's go over and take a look." Xie Xie could not be bothered to bicker with Tang Lingluo. He hurriedly ran over. Tang Lingluo, Tang Wulin, and Gu Yue followed behind.
"You can't do this, you can't do this! This is the guy I eat." Before they even got close, the four of them heard a sad cry. It was Uncle Li's voice.
Xie Xie was at the very front as he squeezed into the crowd.
The stove in front of the restaurant had been overturned. The earthen jars fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. The beef soup flowed on the ground, and the thick fragrance of the meat carried heat. The ground was in a mess.
Uncle Li collapsed at the entrance of the shop. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth and one of his eyes was swollen. His face was filled with grief and anger.
At the entrance of the shop stood three burly men. One of them was bald, but his arms were bare on a cold day. There was a dragon tattoo on them.
The other two were also tall, and they did not look like good people at all.
"Surnamed Li, a wise man understands the times. There's no one on this street who dares to not pay protection fees, yet you keep making excuses. Do you think I, Guang Long, am a beggar? Why would he come to you every day to ask for money? If it wasn't for the fact that your stewed beef was really not bad, I would have crippled you long ago. Don't talk nonsense. If you can't take out the money today, don't open this shop in the future.”The bald man said with a cold gaze. Although there were many people surrounding him, no one dared to make a sound.
"Big Brother Guang Long, it's not that I don't want to pay the protection fee, but it's really because my woman is very sick. I wake up early every day and work until it's dark to earn some money to treat her. You can't ruin my business! In that case, my woman won't be able to live, and I won't be able to live either.”
Guang Long laughed. Are you threatening me with your life? Do you think I care about your cheap life? Without you, if it was another family here, they would still pay me protection fees. If you can't pay up, get lost. Don't take up space.”As he spoke, he stepped forward and kicked the stove at the door to the ground. In an instant, the entire pot of beef was in a mess.
Uncle Li cried out in grief," Guang Long, I'm going to kill you.”He struggled to get up, lowered his head, and crashed into Guang Long.
Guang Long laughed sinisterly and lifted his leg, sending him tumbling. In front of me, you don't even have the qualifications to fight with your life. Don't forget, I'm a Spirit Master."
"Can Spirit Masters bully people?" An angry shout came from the side. Tang Lingluo and the other three had just squeezed into the crowd when they saw this scene. Xie Xie rushed to Uncle Li and helped him up while Tang Lingluo glared at Guang Long.
Guang Long was stunned for a moment. When he saw that it was a child, he immediately laughed arrogantly again." There's really no one on this street! A child dares to come out and meddle in my affairs. He's really not afraid of the tiger. Hurry up and get lost. I don't hit children.”
Tang Wulin was born into a commoner's family. He hated bullying the weak the most. He walked in front of Guang Long with large strides." How could you do this to Uncle Li?" Do you still have humanity?"
Guang Long snorted coldly." Can human nature be eaten? He had to support his wife, but did he not have to support his mother? The underworld has its rules. Little bastard, get lost. Don't delay my work.”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pushed Tang Wulin's shoulder.
Tang Lingluo's golden eyes flashed as she threw a punch at Tang Wulin's palm.
Bang! Guang Long was sent flying ten meters away and staggered."This guy can still control his body when he's caught off guard. His strength is not weak either! However, it's still a little inexperienced."
"Good kid, you have some strength.”He opened his arms wide and pounced at Tang Lingluo. His bare arms were muscular and his face was fierce.
Tang Lingluo's forte was not his martial soul, but strength, speech, elemental control, and alchemy. He raised his hand and punched.
Another dull thud. This time, it was Guang Long who retreated. He felt as if Tang Lingluo's palm was made of iron and copper. The strength was so great that he was actually at a disadvantage. He was forced to take a step back. If he had known that Tang Lingluo's punches were casual, he would have turned around and run away.
Guang Long was also shocked. He had already used quite a bit of strength in this grab, but the power coming from the youth's fist had also caused him to tremble, and he had failed to grab it.
"Good kid, you have some strength!”Guang Long charged forward again and tried to grab Tang Lingluo.
"Why can't you remember? The opponent is obviously stronger than you, yet you chose to use such a head-on method. I'm starting to wonder if you're a pig. Besides, I'm not alone.”Tang Lingluo said helplessly as he looked at Guang Long.
At this moment, strands of Bluesilver Grass swarmed out from Tang Wulin's right hand. In almost an instant, they wrapped around Guang Long. Guang Long's legs went limp as he felt his feet sinking into the ground. He was powerless. Immediately after, a figure had already soared into the air. His legs were directly hung on his shoulders, and a dagger was directly aimed at his neck.
Tang Lingluo, Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie had been training together for three months, so they were already very well-coordinated. Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and Xie Xie, who was helping Uncle Li up, coordinated with Tang Lingluo's attack when they saw that he had the upper hand.
Caught off guard, Guang Long's throat was immediately pressed against by the Light Dragon Dagger.
Tang Wulin was still very confident in Xie Xie.
"Apologize to Uncle Li and compensate for the loss. Otherwise, I will kill you!" Xie Xie's voice was extremely cold. He was furious when he saw the kind Uncle Li being bullied.
"Don't be rash, little brother.”The two burly men beside him only reacted at this moment. These hooligans were very good at judging the situation. If the person who attacked was an adult, they would not be too afraid. After all, there were not many people who dared to kill on the street. However, children were more troublesome because they were young and easily impulsive without considering the consequences.
"I have nothing to say to people like you.”Xie Xie said coldly," Compensate Uncle Li for his losses and pay for his medical expenses. Otherwise, I'll kill this baldy."”
Guang Long suddenly laughed,"Little fellow, Spirit Master, right? Only one ring." I, Guang Long, have been on this street for so many years. If I don't have any skills, do you think I can continue to collect protection fees here? Make your move. I want to see how you're going to kill me.”
Xie Xie was stunned for a moment. At his age, he still couldn't understand the concept of not being afraid of death. When he had threatened Mu Xi, Mu Xi had also quickly compromised!
He pressed down with the Light Dragon Dagger. He really didn't dare to kill anyone, but his hatred for the Light Dragon had already made his brain a little hot.
However, as the Light Dragon Dagger pressed down, he suddenly felt that the bald man's neck was extremely hard. The Light Dragon Dagger actually couldn't press down.
"Be careful!" Tang Lingluo reminded Gu Yue in time. Gu Yue also released a fireball towards Guang Long's chest.
Guang Long's right fist had already brazenly struck upwards, blasting towards Xie Xie.
At the same time, two rings of light rose from under his feet. They were two soul rings, one white and one yellow. Color. The exposed skin on his body had turned iron-gray, and his neck was bulging. Iron gray scales appeared.
Xie Xie's body flipped backward to avoid Guang Long's fist. A powerful aura burst forth from Guang Long's body.`
A two-ring Soul Grandmaster! This guy was actually a Soul Grandmaster with over rank-20 soul power and two soul rings!
On Guang Long's shoulder, two small spirit souls appeared. They looked a little similar. One was earthen yellow. The other was an iron-gray lizard. The iron-gray lizard was obviously bigger.
A soul master's strength would differ greatly with each ring. Whether it was spirit power or spirit rings, it was the same.
Along with the appearance of the Soul Ring, Guang Long's body clearly expanded by a size, his muscles becoming even more exaggerated. Coupled with the scales and iron-gray skin on his body, it gave people an extremely fierce feeling.
"I didn't expect that you little fellows were actually Spirit Masters. No wonder you dared to be nosy. I'll let you see how powerful I am.”As he said that, he stomped his right foot on the ground and charged at Tang Lingluo.
"Ling Luo, be careful! Brother, be careful!" Gu Yue and Tang Wulin cried out in surprise. Gu Yue's hand shot out beams of light while Tang Wulin's Bluesilver Grass attempted to control Guang Long's feet.
However, after Guang Long unleashed his martial soul, his physical fitness seemed to have reached an extremely terrifying level. He easily broke free from the swamps that appeared on the ground, and when Gu Yue's elemental attacks landed on his body, they were all blocked by his tough skin. Even the tough Bluesilver Grass was torn apart.
This guy's martial soul was actually a rather powerful existence? Moreover, he shouldn't be as simple as a Spirit Grandmaster. His spirit power cultivation base was probably above rank-25.
Guang Long's martial soul was the steel armored dragon, a subspecies of earth dragon. He was most skilled in strength and defense. Moreover, he was also born with divine strength.
He was relying on his first soul skill, Armor Possession, to withstand Gu Yue's attack. Even Xie Xie's Light Dragon Dagger could not break through his defense.
One against four, yet their strength and aura completely surpassed Tang Wulin's trio (only Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue).）。
At this moment, Tang Lingluo displayed a calmness that surpassed his age. He knew that he could not retreat, because if he did, he would expose Gu Yue. According to Wu Zhangkong's position, Tang Lingluo's most important task in this three-man team was to block the front.
Tang Lingluo suddenly closed his eyes. This action frightened the audience, and they all thought that Tang Lingluo did not want to live anymore. However, would Tang Lingluo not care about his life? No! The following scene left a deep impression on the audience.
When Guang Long was eight meters away from him, Tang Lingluo suddenly opened his eyes. His pupils suddenly straightened and turned into cold vertical pupils. An indescribable feeling spread throughout Guang Long's body, making him feel as if his entire body was going limp. His bright golden eyes were lit up, and his Y exploded with a sharp aura. It was as if a sleeping king was waking up inside Tang Lingluo's body.
"You're quite bold. Who gave you the right to attack Uncle Li?”Tang Lingluo looked at Guang Long, who was lying on the ground under the dragon's pressure.
Guang Long remained silent, but his eyes were filled with fear as he looked at Tang Lingluo.
"A mere alternative dragon dares to behave atrociously in front of a true dragon? Let me teach you a lesson!" Under everyone's shocked gaze, golden scales covered Tang Lingluo's right arm. The bone spikes pierced through the skin of his right arm, and his right palm suddenly enlarged. His fingers grew longer, and golden fingernails that looked like sharp blades quickly drilled out and transformed into dragon claws.
The ferocious blood-gold dragon arm swung up and smashed towards Guang Long.
"Bang!" The collision between the blood-gold dragon arm and the light dragon's huge body caused the surrounding crowd to cry out in alarm. Many people covered their ears and retreated.
"Bang!" Guang Long's huge body was sent flying by Tang Lingluo's slap. The people around him could even hear the sound of Guang Long's bones breaking.
Guang Long's two subordinates tried to catch him, but just like Guang Long, both of them rolled on the ground like gourds."Pu!" Guang Long spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale. Clearly, he had suffered some serious injuries.
However, Tang Ling and the others were not paying attention to them. Right now, he was looking at Tang Wulin's palm that was completely covered in golden scales.
Tang Wulin looked at his right hand in shock. The golden scales had completely covered his palm and his claw had appeared. His entire arm gave him a strange burning sensation.
Compared to last time, he felt it much clearer this time. He could clearly feel that the soul power in his body was disappearing at an astonishing rate.
Quickly remove it! He chanted in his heart.
A strange scene appeared. The golden scales that had just grown out quickly dimmed, then turned into specks of light that silently fused into the arm and disappeared. The burning sensation in his body also began to calm down.
It had only been a dozen seconds since the golden scales had appeared and he had used his mind to remove them. However, Tang Wulin's soul power had already been depleted. The only thing that was better than the last time was that he did not faint because of the consumption.
His arm was sore and swollen, and he felt like he couldn't lift it. Tang Wulin felt that his brain was in a mess. If the appearance of the golden scales the last time could have been an illusion, then how could such a vivid feeling be explained by an illusion?
"That power appeared again? And what was going on with Wulin? Could it be that your entire family knows this trick?”Xie Xie had caught up to Tang Lingluo after he sent Guang Long flying. He had witnessed Tang Lingluo sending Guang Long flying with a single slap from a close distance. He also saw the blood-golden scales on his hand. However, Xie Xie was currently staring at the golden scales on Tang Wulin's right arm.
Guang Long wasn't the only one who felt fear. Even he felt it as well. The scales that appeared on Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin's bodies seemed to have a special kind of magic power that was awe-inspiring.
"I don't know what's going on either." Tang Wulin smiled bitterly. Eh, where are they?"
When he looked for Guang Long again, he and his two subordinates had already disappeared without a trace. At this moment, the surrounding crowd rushed over. Some people who also opened shops in the food street helped Uncle Li lift the stove and clean up the chaotic scene.
"This bastard ran away without compensation.”Xie Xie said hatefully.
" Your hands…" Gu Yue looked at Tang Lingluo and Tang Wulin hesitantly.
"It's fine. It's just a Dragonform ability. You can take it back at any time." After Tang Lingluo finished speaking, the blood-gold scales on his right arm disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye. A few seconds later, his entire arm returned to normal.
"I don't know what's going on either. This is already the second time it's appeared." Tang Wulin smiled wryly. That scale will quickly drain my physical strength and soul power, but it can give me very strong strength for a short period of time. I heard from my brother that it seems to be the bloodline of the dragon race. That's all I know."
"Let's go back first." Tang Lingluo said.
The four of them bid farewell to Uncle Li. Xie Xie secretly stuffed some money into Uncle Li's pocket before he quickly ran toward the academy.
"Will that guy take revenge on Uncle Li?”Gu Yue asked.
" He probably doesn't have that ability for the time being," Tang Lingluo said." All the bones in his body were broken by me." Moreover, that was a food street after all. Even if he wanted to collect protection fees, he could not go too far.”
"I'll get my family to take care of them. They should be fine."”
