Douluo Dalu 3: The Legend of the Dragon King

Chapter 3: Little Wulin's Family

Even as he exited the gates of Red Mountain Academy, Tang Wulin was flummoxed.

Like every year, those who awakened soul power along with their martial soul were invited to join the Soul Master class of Red Mountain Academy as new students. No matter which elementary academy it was, the Soul Master class was undoubtedly the most important.

Tang Wulins previous agitation hadnt completely dissipated; his head felt swollen, and his body was heating up. He dizzily continued walking.

Son, you really are one in a million! Tang Zirans gentle voice awakened Tang Wulin from his dazed state.

Tang Wulin raised his head and faced his fathers gentle and loving expression. Dad, is Bluesilver Grass a trash martial soul?

Tang Ziran solemnly replied, How could it be a trash martial soul? You  need to know only one in a thousand people have soul power! You have both a trash martial soul and soul power, doesnt that mean youre one in a million? Therefore, my son is unique and by definition unmatched. Havent I told you the story of the founding ancestor of the Tang Sect, Tang San? It was with his Bluesilver Grass.

Tang Wulins family lived in the commoners district of Glorybound City. His father was a machine repairman specializing in soul machines. However, his skill was only ordinary so he could only earn a meager wage to support his family.

His mother, Lan Yue, was a housewife and had single handedly taken care of Tang Wulin. She was exceptionally skilled at cooking delicious dishes.

The entirety of their home was comprised of a living room about a dozen square meters large, a small kitchen, a washroom and two rooms with less than ten square meters in space.

Son, youre home! You must be hungry. Mom will cook up something delicious for you. Lang Yue couldnt be regarded as a beauty, but she was definitely charming. She crouched down and hugged little Wulin.

Im not hungry mom, just a bit sleepy. I want to go take a nap. Tang Wulin hugged her neck in response before scurrying off towards his own room.

Lang Yue watched the little figure retreat into his room before gently sighing. This child has wanted to become a Soul Master since childhood, but becoming a Soul Master isnt that easy! We need to go comfort him.

Tang Ziran entered the small living room and sat down beside the dinner table. For lunch, there was sauted vegetables, stewed pork ribs, some salad and a bowl of three vegetable soup. This was already considered luxurious for the Tang family.

He has soul power, but I wish he didnt. Tang Ziran sighed.

Astonished, Lang Yue sat down beside her husband. What did you say? Wulin possesses soul power? Doesnt that mean he can become a Soul Master?

Tang Ziran forced out a bitter laugh. How could it be that easy? His martial soul is Bluesilver Grass, and his innate soul power is only rank 3. Becoming a Soul Master is easier said than done. Although he is able to enter the Soul Master class, I fear that the pressure will be too much for him.

Lang Yue was confused for a moment, but quickly understood the meaning of her husbands words. Then Wulin, he.

Tang Ziran replied, He seems to be in shock. He didnt say anything on the way back. In the process of growing up, our familys little man will definitely encounter some setbacks. Its best to just leave him be for now.

Lang Yue glanced at her sons room with worried eyes. Sighing loudly, she refilled her husbands bowl of rice. Lets eat first then, we wont disturb him either. Wulin has always been obedient. So well transfer him to the normal class if it doesnt work out.

En.

Tang Ziran and his wife both didnt know that it wasnt because he encountered this setback that Tang Wulin didnt eat lunch. He truly was too exhausted to eat.

As soon as he returned to his room, he fell headfirst onto his bed and entered the land of dreams.

Soon after, Tang Wulins body began twisting and turning atop the bed, his skin flushed crimson. If Tang Ziran or Lang Yue were there, they would discover that Tang Wulins body temperature was increasing at an astonishing rate.

The deep red pigmentation of his skin began to gradually penetrate deeper and deeper until his meridian channels were becoming faintly visible. Even with this faintness, his blood flow could be seen. His heartbeat began increasing rapidly; it had become at least three times his normal heartbeat.

The gold lines that had appeared in the awakening chamber, once again re-emerged on his forehead. The line pattern began to extend from his head to his toes, before returning upwards once again.

After three cycles of traveling the length of his body, the gold line pattern quietly receded back into the depths his body once again. Tang Wulins whole body began making slight creaking noises, but after a moment, the undisturbed silence returned, and his body returned to its normal temperature. He then entered an even deeper slumber.

In his dreams, Tang Wulin found himself in a prairie completely covered in Bluesilver Grass with a golden sky overhead. In front of him stood a gigantic colossus possessing a large golden mouth that seemed to have dropped from the golden sky. In the next moment, he was swallowed by the golden mouth and entered a borderless golden realm.

Ah~ He cried out in surprise and abruptly sat up. Tang Wulin found himself covered in oily and sticky sweat. He couldnt even find the words to describe the discomfort he was in.

Having been raised in an impoverished family, Tang Wulin was significantly more sensible and mature than others of his age. He didnt go disturb his mother and father. Rather, he peeled off his clothes and went to the washroom to wash himself off. He was amazed to discover that the odorous sweat immediately disappeared after he washed himself.

Ah, wheres Lin Lin? Just then, Lang Yues voice called out from outside.

Im in here mom. Im taking a bath. Tang Wulin hurriedly dashed out in nothing but his underwear, trying to respond to his mothers calls.

Rebukingly, Lang Yue said, Hurry up and put on some clothes. Youre going to freeze. She pinched her sons tender little pink face before pushing him into his room.

After closing the door, Lang Yue muttered to herself, That little guys skin is even more tender and elastic now. Mom is so jealous!

It was only after Tang Wulin dressed himself and left his small room that he realized the sky had already turned dark. He had actually slept away the whole afternoon.

Tang Ziran had taken a leave of absence today, so he would be at home the entire time. He beckoned to Tang Wulin, Come over here son.

Tang Wulin sat down beside his father. Right when Tang Ziran was about to speak, Tang Wulins belly cried out. Gugu. After hearing it Tang Ziran immediately broke out into laughter with Lang Yue.

Tang Wulin happily smiled, at their good-natured laughter. Mom, can I go eat? Im really hungry.

Go eat. Lang Yue served him a bowl of rice. She shot her husband a glance, indicating that they should speak after he finished eating.

When Tang Wulin raised his rice bowl a fourth time, Tang Ziran and Lang Yue were already extremely shocked. Even if he hadnt eaten lunch, it was impossible for him to be able to eat this much!

Mom, its delicious. I still want more
