The Legend of the Dragon King

Chapter 1822: Break Through The Ring Seal

At that very moment, he could clearly identify the destination in front of him. The land was about three thousand meters away from his current position. He figured that it should be his destination. The land was arc-shaped and the seawater in front of him formed a ring naturally. It was probably the so-called break through the ring seal.

Upon assessing the situation, he pondered on how to break through the seal next.

The first two examinations left a profound impression in his mind. On the other hand, during the third examination, he got to observe the auras of his father’s three opponents which, however, did not leave a good impression on him.

A faint smile emerged on Tang Wulin’s face and a wisp of icy cold divine glow could be seen. In the next moment, his body was already swallowed by the seawater.

Tang Wulin immediately felt the difference the moment he was swallowed by the seawater.

In the past, he always felt a high sense of affinity toward the sea. Each time he was in the sea, he felt at home instantly, while the whole sea would seemingly protect him.

Yet, he felt the sea was now hostile toward him. Any other ordinary soul master in his place would have been blasted away by the incomparably powerful waves slamming against him currently. The immense water pressure pushed against him. At the same time, there were also the gigantic crabs which were charging toward him.

The giant crabs seemed to be unaffected by the seawater. They kept on advancing toward him. Their gigantic claws were aiming for Tang Wulin’s head.

Tang Wulin felt rather helpless, but, in a split second, he figured out a countermeasure to assail his present situation.

His body sank down abruptly when he unleashed the Mountain Dragon King’s Gravitational Control. He was akin to a steel-forged statue which burrowed to the deep instantly. Simultaneously, his arms were raised to shield his head from the attacks.

“Clang!” A muffled sound was heard underwater. Tang Wulin’s sinking speed increased while the giant crabs’ front claws were blasted away.

How could these creatures hurt Tang Wulin when he had already entered the Leakproof Golden Body realm?

In the next moment, he was standing on the firm seabed in the depths of the sea.

The seabed was made up of sand and mud. Upon his landing, he immediately felt his entire body sinking into the mud. However, it did not pose any problem for Tang Wulin. He stood on the seabed with ease by the agile maneuver of the Mountain Dragon King’s Gravitational Control.

At the very least, he did not have to worry about an attack from below by his enemies. In any case, he was not anxious about this examination either.

Tang Wulin’s soul power was unleashed and his Dragon Air spurted outward. The rule of not being allowed to use any soul skill did not apply to his mobilization of the Dragon Air at all. Moreover, Tang Wulin discovered that the seal was only imposed on his soul skills, but he could still utilize his Golden Dragon King skill.

He stamped his right foot on the seabed. At once, a loud boom was heard underwater. Under Tang Wulin’s intentional control, the surrounding seawater was pushed outward in all directions. In fact, a vacuum was formed in the vicinity surrounding his body.

The sea soul beasts which were charging toward him were immediately blocked on the outside.

The Dragon Air formed a layer of protective shield safeguarding the body up to five meters away. Even without the Boundless Universe Shield to protect his body, Tang Wulin could stroll leisurely as if he was walking in his room. He slowly approached his destination.

Soon after, the densely packed soul beasts had appeared in the area surrounding the Dragon Air. They used various forms of attack against him. There was no shortage of powerful soul beasts amongst them. Tang Wulin’s Dragon Air was much more powerful than before. The soul beasts kept attacking recklessly, but his shield remained strong as ever.

A soul beast with a hundred-thousand year cultivation base would appear occasionally. Tang Wulin only needed to consume some of his spiritual power to rattle the creature and his Dragon Air would hold it off completely.

Even though he could not fly the distance of three thousand meters, it was but a short walk. It only took him a few minutes to break through the ring seal and ascend the land opposite.

He emerged from the water with the Dragon Air blasting away the few sea soul beasts pursuing him from behind. When the radiant sunlight illuminated his body and he was on firm ground once again, a deep voice was heard.

“The Sea God’s Fourth Examination – Break Through The Ring Seal is completed. Would you like to continue the examination?”

‘It’s different when my abilities are stronger now!’ exclaimed Tang Wulin in his mind. When he took the first examination in the past, he was tormented beyond his endurance.

At present, the fourth examination was completed in such a short time. It was way easier this time.

“Continue the examination!” said Tang Wulin without the slightest hesitation. With the influence of the two soul cores inside his body in addition to the Dragon Core, he could replenish the consumption earlier just by taking a few breaths. Of course, he would continue the examination!

“The Sea God’s Fifth Examination – Tidal Body Forging. Resist the non-stop tidal cleansing for forty-nine days.”

Before Tang Wulin could react, he realized that the scenery in his surroundings had changed drastically in the next moment. Not only that, his entire body felt tight. He was astonished that he was already tied up.

He found it even more terrifying that he could not struggle free from the binding in spite of his cultivation base.

There was a stone pillar to which his body was tied and all around him was the sea. It was a place where heaven and earth would not respond to you even if you were to call out loud.

Forty-nine days…

Tang Wulin wanted to ask if this was how his biological father was going to treat him! This was an examination set by his biological father!

He really felt like crying.

A giant wave suddenly lashed onto him. The impact blasted his body furiously. It was not just an ordinary wave but one with a powerful crashing force. When it lashed his body, Tang Wulin felt like he was being crushed!

It felt as if a soul train had rolled over his body!

‘Is this seawater? It’s more like the spurting of a Title Douluo’s all-out soul power, right?’

Before he even finished pondering, another wave came crashing ferociously onto his body from the front.

The saying, ‘one wave is higher than the other’ applied in this case where the huge waves continuously lashed his body wildly. Meanwhile, Tang Wulin felt rather helpless.

He found that he could not mobilize his soul power when he was trapped here. In other words, he could not utilize his soul power to resist the lashings. Although he was not allowed the use of his soul power, there was no restriction imposed on his Golden Dragon King’s abilities. Under such circumstances, how could the waves possibly hurt him?

In fact, Tang Wulin did not even bother to unleash the Golden Dragon Body. He did nothing but allowed the waves to wash his body. He relied on the strength of his Leakproof Golden Body to withstand the process. Even though it was stressful, it was far from being a threat to his body.

In fact, he was rather bored. It seemed a little excessive for him to have to withstand such an environment for forty-nine days.

He closed his eyes and pondered about the moment he comprehended the maxim of heaven and earth when he made the Limit Breakthrough. He thought about whether he could create more powerful abilities for his Dragon Emperor Forbidden Law.

He was soon lost in thought. Even though the situation here was not conducive for meditation, the contemplation was helpful for him.

A soul master would need to consolidate his learnings and skills when his cultivation base achieved a certain level. It was only with adequate accumulation of these consolidation processes that would help the soul master to breakthrough to the next level.

Tang Wulin made himself sink into a deeper meditative state since he was bored. He took the opportunity to assess his abilities.

Even though he already possessed the Limit Douluo-ranked fighting capacity, it was quite different from fully entering the Limit Douluo rank. He could feel a wisp of the connection to a higher level at his current rank.
