THE LEGEND OF THE DRAGON KING
bab47.the battle of eastsea park

Eastsea Park is not far from Eastsea Academy. One can reach the park after a 10-minute walk by following the path beside the academy exit. The park is accessible to the public at no cost at all. As it was still early morning, the park was filled with many citizens doing their morning exercises.

When someone walks into the garden, their senses will be greeted with the natural perfume fragrance – a blend of crispy plant scents and the sweetness of flowers, which refreshes their mind. Tang Wulin felt himself gradually relaxing. His Bluesilver Grass was a martial soul plant, and he was currently surrounded by the fields of Bluesilver Grass. This is the neighborhood he loves the most.

He had the faint thought that if he meditated here, the result would be much better than if he meditated back in the dormitory. He had already proven this when he returned home in Glorybound City. But it is impossible to compare a small garden in a house with this garden with its endless boundaries; the difference in size is incomparable.

Xie Xie was not surprised that he was not the first to come. He walked leisurely and very familiarly to the deepest part of the park.

Following the pebbled path towards the garden, one would realize the difference in the size of the tree. The deeper into the park, the bigger it becomes. Eastsea Park has a history of over a thousand years, long before the Eastsea Academy was founded. With its rich history, the park contains many varieties of rare trees.

As he moved deeper into the garden, Tang Wulin gradually felt better. The feeling of returning to this realm revived the martial soul within him.

“Good place! I'll be back again. ‘ Thought Tang Wulin.

When they reached the deepest part of the garden, where they were well hidden from the others, Xie Xie stopped in the middle of the open area.

“This is it.” He turned to face Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin stopped at the same time, returning a wary look at Xie Xie.

“I'll be fair to you. Since I am a Soul Battle Agility System Master, I will retreat by 50 meters. When I say start, you can move. ”When he spoke, Xie Xie started moving backwards. He refused to take advantage of Tang Wulin. Especially not with his pride so high.

Tang Wulin did not make a sound. Instead, his mind was filled with images from their previous matches. The yellow color of Xie Xie's martial soul when he released it during the match the other day was still clear in his mind. Although he had yet to successfully capture Xie Xie's spirit soul, it was clear to him that the color meant Xie Xie had a hundred-year-old spirit soul.

A hundred year spirit soul would naturally possess a hundred year soul skill. Tang Wulin was unsure about the strength of that power.

“Are you ready?” Xie Xie's voice came to him from afar.

Tang Wulin took a deep breath and focused his gaze. “Come start.”

Xie Xie replied back coldly, “I will show you the difference between our skills. I'll make you pay for the shame you've done for me. Get started! ”Once he ended his words, he flew towards Tang Wulin like a released arrow.

As Xie Xie prepared for his swift run, he had positioned himself low, giving others a picture of himself hugging the ground. A yellow ring of light appeared under his feet. As the day before, Tang Wulin noticed that when he released this hundred-year-old spirit beast, a 35-centimeter long blade that seemed to be made of yellow-colored crystal appeared in his right hand. As Xie Xie darted forward, the dagger accompanying him produced a faint dragon growl.

Tang Wulin also released his Bluesilver Grass in a short period of time. A small golden glowing grass snake appeared on his arm and spun around on his wrist. Bluesilver Grass strands like wine flew out.

While Tang Wulin had little or no practical experience, the Bluesilver Grass flourished with its ability to cover a variety of spaces. As these little blades of grass expanded, its surface area increased rapidly and it wrapped around Xie Xie easily.

“Still using the same trick?” Traces of humiliation flashed across Xie Xies face, he increased his speed quickly.

Xie Xie, who had previously stormed in a straight line towards him, turned into an illusion. At once, Tang Wulin lost sight of Xie Xie and his ability to pinpoint the exact location due to the dizzying blur in front of him.

‘This is bad!’

“If Bind fails to trap my opponent, then this variant of Bluesilver Grass is no longer useful in combat,” Tang Wulin thought of this when he pulled the grass vines and pointed them before himself. The denser these vines were, the higher the defensive capabilities they possessed. It was an idea that came to him during his meditation the night before.

At this moment, Xie Xie was already within 10 meters of Tang Wulin.

Xie Xies speed did not change. Instead, his arms moved faster.

The Light Dragon Dagger in his hand turned into an exploding ball of light that released endless golden rays aimed right at the Bluesilver Grass below him.

It was then that Tang Wulin realized the huge difference between Xie Xie and himself. Every blade of his Bluesilver Grass had been cut by the light coming from the Xie Xie Light Dragon Dagger. Although the blades of the grass were still intact, they could easily be swung. With the sharp blade of the Light Dragon Dagger cutting through his Bluesilver Grass, Tang Wulin felt the soul force within him diminish rapidly. In a short period of time, Tang Wulin's soul power had been reduced by over 10%.

If Xie Xie had discovered the characteristics of Tang Wulin's soul strength, he wouldn't have needed to use an attack as forcefully against Tang Wulin. This technique would easily empty out all of Tang Wulin's soul power.

As the Bluesilver Grass shield parted ways, Tang Wulin no longer had any defense against Xie Xie's oncoming attacks. Xie Xie was already right before him back then.

As Bluesilver Grass was no longer useful, Tang Wulin shot both of his fists forward, blasting them at Xie Xie. At the same time, he controlled and pulled out all of his Bluesilver Grass. He hoped that by doing so, he could successfully pull off Bind as he tried to protect his opponent's attack. This is his only chance to win the game.

From a typical point of view, the Bluesilver Grass belonging to the control system would ideally make it easier to defeat martial souls belonging to the Agility system category.

However, the difference between Tang Wulin and Xie Xie was simply too great in terms of their skills or experience.

Xie Xie simply tilted slightly to avoid Tang Wulin's clenched pair of fists that had produced a light explosive sound. With a sharp turn, like lightning, he was already at Tang Wulin's side. At this point, Tang Wulin was helpless.

If this was a battlefield, and Xie Xie had the intention to kill, he could put his sword easily on Tang Wulin's neck.

However, Xie Xie was silent for a moment. He only had the thought of defeating Tang Wulin in mind, and had no other intentions.

He changed the direction of the dagger, swung the knife into his handle, and locked his target – cheeks of Tang Wulin. “I'll pay you for the swelling you did on my face.”

While many decisions were made in Xie Xie's mind during this split second, Tang Wulin suddenly flinched and tilted his head down, tilting his head downward, using the back of his skull to tap on Xie Xie's grip during this short time.

However, Xie Xies response was quick. What makes a person a Martial Soul Master Agility System Master? At the highest level of mastery, masters would be able to avoid direct battles for as long as they wanted. When the opponent was finally chosen, they were already helpless.

Although Xie Xie was proud, his analysis of Tang Wulin was not influenced by that pride and was accurate. He knew clearly that Tang Wulin's strength was not something he could withstand.

He twisted his nimble wrist in a split second and submerged the Light Dragon Dagger into Tang Wulin's shoulders.
