The Legend of the Dragon King

“Little Black, move aside!” Tang Wulin felt the heat on his face as another figure flashed past. The Blazing Apricot Cabbage whose beauty was unrivaled appeared before him. “Choose me. My fighting capacity is the strongest amongst everyone. I can provide you with the purest flames to amplify your abilities and even add control to the fire element of your natural attributes.”

“What are you all doing? Where’s your dignity?” the Damask Tulip roared in rage as he stopped the remaining three beasts that were about to rush over. He then walked over to Tang Wulin in big strides, and with both his hands, he pulled the Little Black and the Blazing Apricot Cabbage away.

The arrogance on his face vanished as he stood before Tang Wulin. “I agree to do so.”

The rest of the five beasts immediately burst into an uproar as soon as he said that.

“What do you mean by ‘you agree to do so’?” The Little Black immediately pulled the Damask Tulip away.

The Blazing Apricot Cabbage was even angrier as she spoke, “Little Tulip, you’re despicable. How could you do that? I have no qualms with those queries you proposed.”

The Damask Tulip sneered. “I wonder who mentioned earlier that she still has three thousand years of life, so she will never become a human’s spirit soul.”

The Blazing Apricot Cabbage replied in a rage, “How is that the same? He’s the Nature Child. If we follow him, we can always cultivate with him as the root whenever. We don’t need to face God’s punishment under his protection. Even if faced with a downfall, he’ll naturally transform into the Nature Ancient Tree. As his companion, I’ll naturally be reborn under the protection of the Nature Ancient Tree. Who cares about three thousand years of life when you can have immortality?”

The Blazing Apricot Cabbage’s words did not convince the Damask Tulip, but it enlightened Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin did not expect his Nature Child to have such an overpowering influence on these heaven and earth spirit items.

Ye Xinglan, Xie Xie, Yuanen Yehui, and Yue Zhengyu were stunned from witnessing this scenario at present.

These beasts were quirky in that they went from wanting to kill the Shrek Seven Monsters to fighting among themselves in order to be Tang Wulin’s spirit soul. How quickly their attitudes changed had made some people flabbergasted. However, it seemed like this turn of events was a good thing.

The Damask Tulip spoke to Tang Wulin, “Nature Child, I can allow all of you to acquire one more spirit item each. Furthermore, I can tell you which type is the most precious.”

“That’s betraying your own friends for personal gain! Little Tulip, have you no shame?” Another beast dashed over furiously.

The Damask Tulip gave a cold humph. “All of you don’t know a thing. Have you not discovered what his martial soul is? It’s the Bluesilver Emperor, the same Bluesilver Emperor of Tang Sect’s progenitor, Tang San. Tang San’s first choice was me back in the beginning. As his descendant, the Nature Child should choose me. All of you better stop vying because you can’t possibly triumph over me!”

As he was saying that, the Damask Tulip flashed once as a misty, purple halo was unleashed from his body instantly. The aura from the rest of the five beasts weakened tremendously. This ought to be the Damask Tulip’s ability to suppress the other plants which he mentioned previously.

Tang Wulin did not utter a word. As a wily person himself, he was well aware that remaining silent would be most beneficial under such circumstances.

“Little Tulip, you can’t act this way. The Nature Child is discovered by all of us together. This is an opportunity for us to gain our immortality. Aren’t you a little selfish for wanting this all to yourself?” The Blazing Apricot Cabbage was outraged.

“Precisely. I can’t stand this anymore,” said the youth dressed in a blue robe who was the youngest amongst the six.

“Little Frozen, your predecessor had followed the Holy Ice Douluo into ascending as Gods. You have no right to say bad things about me,” said the upset Damask Tulip.

Tang Wulin just realized that the youngest person was surprisingly the Eight-pointed Frozen Grass. His predecessor was one of the few Great Soul Spirits of the Holy Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao.

However, the Damask Tulip gave it a thought when he was challenged on his self-indulgence. A moment later, he heaved a sigh and retracted his purple aura before returning to his companions.

“Little Blazing is right. This is an opportunity for everyone and we’re all acting impulsively. The Nature Child is definitely alluring to all of us. To be fair to everyone, why don’t we explain our abilities and allow the Nature Child to make his choice?”

As the king of immortal grass, he chose to make it a fair opportunity for everyone.

The Six Great Immortal Grasses were all looking toward Tang Wulin. The Blazing Apricot Cabbage spoke eagerly, “I’m the Blazing Apricot Cabbage. I was born in the Middle Yang Lake of the Icefire Polarized Eyes. I’m of the highest rank for a fire-type plant. I’ve told you about the acquired effect after fusing with me. Although I’m not so compatible with your attributes, I must tell you that Tang San once used my predecessor and also the Little Frozen’s predecessor to perform the Fire-Ice Body Refining to strengthen his body back at the beginning of time. Although we didn’t manage to become his soul ring, our predecessors were very helpful to his cultivation.”

Fire-Ice Body Refining? It was Tang Wulin’s first time to learn of this as well.

The Eight-pointed Frozen Grass continued, “Yes, that’s right! I’m the exact opposite of the Little Blazing. I was born in the Polar Ice Spring that is the opposite of the Blazing Yang Spring. I’m the ultimate cold immortal grass.”

The beast known as the Little Black continued to speak, “I’m the Little Black and I’m the Black Jade Divine Bamboo that has been cultivating for a hundred and sixty thousand years. I’m perfectly compatible with you. Your martial soul will be vastly strengthened and enhanced upon absorbing me. I’ll increase the firmness of your soft side. All your Bluesilver Emperor vines can be converted into Black Jade Bluesilver Spears with unparalleled power. I’ll strengthen your martial soul’s combat capability on a large scale.”

The other two beasts walked forward separately. The person on the left spoke, “I’m the Piercing Gaze Dew that cultivated into human form. The Holy Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao chose my predecessor and received remarkable abilities to cultivate his spirit eyes and the Purple Demon Eyes. Although I’ve only been cultivating for a hundred and ten thousand years, I’ve already crossed the first hurdle of God’s punishment, so I can be considered a beast. I’ll be of great advantage to your Purple Demon Eyes if you choose to fuse with me.”

The final person was also the one with the bulkiest body amongst the beasts. “I’m the Earthworm Pumpkin. I’ve been cultivating for a hundred and ninety thousand years. You’ll acquire an orange soul ring after absorbing me. Although we’re all beasts, only two-hundred-thousand-year beasts with a cultivation base that is close to the second great punishment will enable you to possess the orange spirit soul. This is the difference in the ranking. I possess the ability of the Earthworm’s Turn, so I’m of the earth attribute. I can sense a piece of extremely powerful earth attribute soul bone in your body. Fusing with me will allow you to have extraordinary elevation in your ability to control the earth and even increase your soul bone’s skill on a large scale.”

The five great beasts each introduced themselves individually.

The Damask Tulip spoke finally, “They’re all correct. Moreover, we’re all beasts with intelligence. Choosing any of us to become your spirit soul will provide you with a piece of soul bone when you fuse with us during your next breakthrough to a higher rank. In comparison, I think that I, the Little Pumpkin and the Little Black are most suitable for you. This judgment is completely based on your needs and suitability.”

Tang Wulin was quiet. He was feeling overwhelmed with the numerous choices at present.

A hundred-thousand-year soul ring and bone were absolutely the ultimate goals for a soul master. At the moment, there were six such creatures willing to become his spirit soul and waiting in a row for him to make his choice. It was unprecedented, but it also gave him a tough decision.

“Before I make the choice, will the Senior kindly tell me the reason in your high appreciation of the Nature Child? What’s the profound meaning of the Nature Child anyway?” Tang Wulin asked.

Even Atlas Douluo Yun Ming was incapable of answering him back at the beginning. At present, this seemed the best opportunity for him to get the answer as he was facing these plant-type beasts.

The Damask Tulip was quiet for a moment before he spoke, “The Nature Child is the seed that is recognized by the great Nature.”

“Seed?” Tang Wulin asked in astonishment.

The Damask Tulip nodded. “Yes, the seed. The seed that is also known as the Nature Seed. Such a seed has only appeared a few times in history. The Nature Seed is only born when the Nature Heart is destroyed on the continent. In other words, the plant which is at its peak in the world cultivates such a seed and entrusts the Nature Child with it when Nature is devastated. The Nature Child will look for an opportunity to germinate such that Nature can breed and populate once again. The Nature Seed can be found on any plant or animal, but it’s the first time we’ve learned that it appears in a human.”
