Chapter 56: Battle of Dragons
The entire crowd was buzzing with curiosity on what happened in the arena. One moment they saw Fox King Su Mu sending his white halo towards his opponent Tang Wulin. Then the next moment he fell on his but.
Most people thought he made a mistake and would get back up, but he never did. They all watch as Tang Wulin summon his dragon spear and begin walking towards Su Mu who wouldn't get up.
Then the most unbelievable thing happens Su Mu surrender to Tang Wulin without even fighting him. It must be known that Su Mu was ranked third on the Eighth Heavenly Kings and a representative of the Monster Academy.
Then there the fact he was the number one control-master in Master Academy and yet he lost without any will to fight.
It was no wonder some people were enraged, others were pissed and the rest felt like it was staged. Su Mu was walking through the waiting room, as he tried his best to regain his calm and dispell the lingering fear.
Dai Yueyan walked in quick strides toward him. "Su Mu are you alright? What happened in there? Why did you quit without even fighting?"
Dai Yueyan had no idea what happened but the act of Su Mu quitting without even putting up a fight was an insult to the Eighth Heavenly Kings ranking.
Su Mu didn't know what to say as he wore a bitter smile and regret on his face. It wasn't until after a while that his mind was able to dispell the lasting effects.
But what was the point when he already had a spear pointed to his throat and his opponent in front of him.
Long Yue walked in front of Su Mu and lifted him up from the scruff of his shirt.
"Brother Long!"
"Be quiet! Do not defend this trash brother Yueyan. It was bad enough you lost to someone that bullied our little Yun'er but you lost without even putting up a fight." Long Yue roared as his killing intent was rising.
Su Mu couldn't refute anything, as he everything Long Yue said was true and it's not like he could thoroughly explain to them what happened.
"From this moment, you are not apart of the Heavenly King. Leave my sight!" Said Long Yue as he threw Su Mu to the ground and begins walking away.
Dai Yueyan was about to go check on Su Mu but he shook his head and told him to follow Long Yue. Once Su Mu saw Dai Yueyan leaving, he got up and begins walking outside, with many things on his mind.
Tang Wulin was walking back into the waiting area when he saw everyone looking at him in confusion. He rose a brow and asks what was wrong with them.
"Boss, what just happened in there?" Asked Xie Xie as he was still puzzled on why Su Mu fell on his butt.
"Oh that, well after he used his first spirit skill and was about to use his second one. I counter it with my ability bloodline suppression but other than that, I don't know anything else." Said Tang Wulin.

Everyone was surprised at that and didn't think Tang Wulin was lying. After all, there was no reason for him to lie but became shocked at how tyrannical his suppression powers were.
"Let's go quick. It's quite chaotic since Tang Wulin defeated Monster Academy's people," Yuanen Yehui reminded everyone.
Everyone who signed up for the individual matches passed the second round and that wasn't all. The new of Fox King Su Mu, third on the Eighth Heavenly King lost and not just any lost but a forfeit without even fighting back.
This created a considerable uproar in the Star Luo City and visible embarrassment for Monster Academy. When everyone found who 'defeated' him, their reaction varied.
Especially considering he was from Shrek a distance academy on the Douluo Continent and their initial confrontation wasn't even a fight. Some people cursed both Su Mu and Shrek Academy believing they set everything up.
Other felt Shrek Academy blackmailed Su Mu and others attack the Grand Star Luo Hotel. Not even Fang'er the commentator of the Continental Young High-Ranking Soul Masters Elite Competition could explain what happened.
Fang'er has been studying soul master most of her life, being able to publish books and plans that have been read by the whole world soul master world. The fact she couldn't say anything speaks volumes of what really happened.
Some people thought he won through his spiritual power, but that was easily dismiss considering the elders and masters would have been able to sense a fluctuation.
The active discussion broke out and continued for a while. Everyone in Shrek went back to cultivating except for Ye Xinglan, who was busy crafting her battle armor.
Nonetheless, the tournament still continued with it taking two days to complete. Once again half of the competitors were knock out with a few knockout rounds to get the number down to a hundred and twenty-eight fighters.
Group matches were long and tedious but were still somewhat manageable since the lower number of teams. During the next ten days, Tang Wulin as has been easily winning his matches with his Blue Silver Genesis.
This made it hard for people to try and figure out what happens in his match with Su Mu since he never used his dragon abilities. His other teammates were able to easily win their match in the individual match.
Same thing with the two and two, with all of them passing with flying colors. This allowed them to enter the round-robin tournament.
It was time for the team, and two-on-two's round-robin tournaments had begun. As everyone was entering in the waiting area and getting ready for their match.
"This morning, everyone will be participating in the first round of the round-robin for the two-on-two. In the afternoon, we'll have the first round of the team competition. Everyone must try maintaining their stamina. In the round-robin tournaments, we don't have any weak contenders. Take care not to injure yourselves."
Tang Wulin was leaning on the wall in the waiting room with Wu Sidou next to him. Ever since his match with Su Mu, every time he goes out, he could hear the crowd calling him a cheater and scum.
He didn't care about their comments but his teammates on the other hand.
His teammates would be extra brutal to their opponent, especially those from Star Luo Academy. With the robin-tournament, only two of their teams could enter them in the top sixteen.
The other monster students were in any of the other Shrek groups. The first match was Yue Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan vs Hua Lantang and Ye Zhi.
The duo had trouble with them for a while with Ye Zhi being able to use her Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda.
But with Xu Xiaoyan fourth spirit skill Ice Queen Dance, she was able to overwhelm them and allow Yue Zhengyu to finish them off with his Light of Judgement.
Tang Wulin and Wu Sidou was plain sailing for them, as their opponent weren't that strong. Xie Xie and Yuenan Yehui faced against another of monster academy representatives.
They were able to overcome them through Yuanen Yehui forcing them into a corner and Xie Xie assassinating them from behind.
Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi match was predictable to Shrek students. With her just soloing her two opponents, while Xu Lizhi just watches on the side.
Shrek Academy became more widely known following that. All sorts of news reports regarding them were on successive headlines.
The Shrek squad managed to pass through the first round of the two-on-two and seven-on-seven matches. The individual matches' group competition was about to begin.
But the most unexpected thing happened, Long Yue was in Tang Wulin group.
"That poor bastard Long Yue." Said Xie Xie with a huge smile.
"Oh hush you." Said Yuanen Yehui but she didn't refute him.
Tang Wulin teammates almost felt sorry for Long Yue for the brutal beatdown their boss was going to give him and it wasn't like they were being arrogant.
Wulin track record of crushing all of his opponents no matter how strong they were was something they came to known.
In a way, it's not wrong to say that Tang Wulin strength is the pride of their group.
While everyone knew Long Yue was strong but so what? Wulin was able to blow off Elder Cai who was a Titel Douluo Arm when he was just at soul rank 32. He was able to overpower a soul fusion all by himself and dominate the strongest.
In the waiting area, Yun'er was shaking in excitement because the next match was Brother Long vs Tang Wulin.
'Don't blame me for being cruel. It was your fault for ignoring me for no reason.' Thought Dai Yun'er as she stood beside Brother Long and Brother Yueyan, who was talking.
"Be careful brother Long. He might do something to you like he did Su Mu." Said Dai Yueyan as the announcer was getting ready to call the next match.
Long Yue sniggered" Don't worry. This Tang Wulin will be a crush, just like the rest of his Shrek Academy."
The competition began.
"Tang Wulin versus Long Yue!" The sounds of digital audio echoed in the waiting area.
Everyone who was in the waiting area looked toward Tang Wulin heading up the arena and was surprised that his teammates weren't giving him any support.
The people in the waiting room were curious about who will win in this match. The most captain of Shrek or the Strongest Heavenly King? Shrek or Monster Academy?
The crowd was quiet as Tang Wulin walk on the stage and waited for Long Yue to come on.
This was the match which drew the most attention. The audience in the entire Star Luo Coliseum was anxious at this moment. Everyone in the audience knew Monster Academy could not afford to lose. If they lost this match, then Monster Academy would completely be suppressed.
This match was so important that the Star Luo Empire's emperor Dai Tianling himself decided to show up and watch the match between these duos. Everyone in Star Luo was placing their hope on Long Yue to win this match and overcome the humiliation against the academy.
Long Yue was glaring hatefully at Tang Wulin, as he did promise to beat Tang Wulin into the ground for his action against his little sister.
"Three, two, one. Begin!"
Long Yue raised a brow when he saw Tang Wulin waiting for him but nonetheless didn't care. Long Yue took a stride, a simple stride with nothing extra but that single step caused the stage to shake uncontrollably.
Tang Wulin didn't blink or bat an eye when the stage shook as he waited for Long Ye to come towards him. The pressure of Long Yue aura didn't even cause him to flinch as if he didn't even acknowledge it.
Long Yue furrows his brows and was astonished that his aura wasn't affecting Tang Wulin at all. Yet he didn't worry as his body swayed and then he dashed across the arena towards Tang Wulin.
Long Yue struck out with a palm toward Tang Wulin who raise his guard but it broke through.
Bang!
Tang Wulin was sent flying but Long Yue didn't let him go as he instantly chases after him and begins to knock him around the arena.
"Weren't you arrogant before? Not willing to summon your martial soul?" Said Long Yue in a mocking tone as he begins to hammer Tang Wulin around the arena.
Long Yue smash Tang Wulin down to the ground.
Bang!
Long Yue then slowly pick him up with a vicious grin on his face.
"Well? Do you have anything to say trash?" Asked Long Yue.
It was then Long Yue heard a sigh come out of Tang Wulin.
"Don't tell me this is all?" Said Tang Wulin out loud while Long Yue held Tang Wulin up.
"What." Said Long Yue.
Tang Wulin shook his head as moved his hands toward Long Yue arm and press down on it.
Long Yue eyes widen when he felt his whole body being pushed down to the ground. He quickly tried to resist, but he realizes that the pressure wasn't stopping.
"What the hell! How are you doing this!" Said Long Yue in shock.
Tang Wulin didn't feel like giving Long Yue a response as he smashes his fist into Long Yue face sending him into the ground.
"A soon to be broken dragon deserves no explanation."
