Training! Golden Crocodile Douluo as Escort [3000]

"With an elder like Golden Crocodile Douluo there..."

"It'll be hard for Tang Hao not to die."

As Tang Wulin headed toward the Pope's Palace, he couldn't help chuckling inwardly. He had met Golden Crocodile Douluo only a few days after taking his teacher as his master.

Though they didn't have a master-disciple relationship, they were more than just a senior and a junior. They got along very well, and over the past six years, Golden Crocodile Douluo had helped him a great deal.

He was the best choice to accompany Tang Wulin to Suotuo City.

"..."

"Your Highness the Holy Son."

As Tang Wulin was about to enter the Pope's Palace, the guards in front of the hall spotted him from afar and greeted him respectfully.

"Mm."

Tang Wulin nodded slightly, then stepped inside.

Spirit Hall Holy Son.

Six years after joining Spirit Hall, he was no longer merely Pope Bibi Dong's disciple. He had lived up to everyone's expectations and become the Son of the Spirit Hall.

Two years ago, he had appeared at a gathering of the major factions. His talent had astounded the experts of an entire era, and he had been hailed as the strongest genius in history.

To others, this might have seemed somewhat high-profile.

But as the Pope of Spirit Hall's favorite disciple and the most talented person of his generation, he had every right to be high-profile.

"Wulin, you're here too. What is it?"

Before long, when Tang Wulin arrived inside the Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong's voice reached him before he could approach.

"Hm?"

Tang Wulin was startled. Wondering why she had said "too," he noticed that Hu Liena had appeared at her side at some unknown time. She was standing there, saying something he couldn't make out.

"Teacher."

"I'm planning to go away for a while."

He paid little attention to his senior sister's presence and spoke frankly, a smile on his face.

"Go away?"

"Are you going out to train?"

Bibi Dong was taken aback and asked thoughtfully.

"Yes. My strength has improved quite a bit over the years, so it's time I went out. Besides..."

"There are things I want to do myself."

Tang Wulin nodded and smiled.

"All right, then I'll arrange for Elder Ju to go with you."

"Elder Ju, is that all right?"

Bibi Dong didn't refuse and agreed at once. She knew how steady her disciple was. Going out for a while, he wouldn't do anything too excessive.

Even if he did, what of it? He had her as his teacher!

"Teacher, I want to go with Junior Brother too..."

At that moment, Hu Liena's eyes filled with hope. Going out to have fun sounded great, not to mention going with her junior brother.

"You can't."

But upon hearing her, Bibi Dong glanced at her and immediately shook her head, refusing without hesitation.

"Why not, Teacher?"

Hu Liena looked at her teacher curiously. Why could Wulin go when she couldn't?

Or was she not allowed to go with Wulin?

"You're asking me why?"

"Look at Wulin. He's already level 45, while you, his senior sister, are only level 48. He even has a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, just like you. At this rate, I'm afraid he'll surpass you in another two years."

"You'd better think about going into seclusion."

Bibi Dong spoke frankly, her face full of helplessness.

It wasn't that she wanted to put pressure on her eldest disciple, but Hu Liena really did need some pressure. If Bibi Dong didn't give her any now, Wulin would be the one to turn up the heat on her later.

Both had top-tier talent, but Wulin, with his Innate Full Soul Power, had shown far greater potential than Nana. The gap between them hadn't been that large in previous years, but now he was drawing closer and closer to her.

Even though Nana's fourth Soul Ring had reached ten thousand years thanks to the Ten-Thousand-Year Whale Glue Wulin had provided, it still hadn't helped.

The frightening thing wasn't that there was a genius more formidable than you in your era, but that they not only had greater talent and were younger, they also studied under the same master.

"I understand, Teacher."

Hu Liena was rendered speechless. She silently lowered her head, understanding exactly what her teacher meant. All sorts of feelings welled up inside her, and she clenched her fists.

She hoped her junior brother wouldn't surpass her too soon.

She was the senior sister!

"Elder Ju, you'll accompany Wulin when he goes out. You have no objections, do you?"

Bibi Dong looked down at Chrysanthemum Douluo.

"Yes, Your Holiness."

Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded without a second thought. Being able to accompany His Highness the Holy Son was a first-rate opportunity.

"Teacher, I don't intend to have Elder Ju come with me."

Tang Wulin shook his head, looking pensive. No, it really couldn't be Chrysanthemum Douluo!

Twelve years ago, Qian Xunji had taken Ghost and Chrysanthemum to deal with a level 89 Tang Hao, yet they had failed to stop him after he broke through to Titled Douluo. If Chrysanthemum Douluo came with him, they'd be handing Tang Hao a double kill.

Tang Hao would probably wake up laughing from his dreams.

"Hm?"

"Wulin, you can't go without an elder at your side. Over the years, the other factions on the continent have been keeping a close eye on you."

"Your cultivation is only at the Soul Ancestor level. Even if your Soul Ring configuration is different from most people's, you're still weak."

Hearing this, Bibi Dong thought he wanted to imitate those foolish clan disciples, and her expression turned serious.

Wulin couldn't start thinking like that just because his cultivation was getting stronger and stronger!

"That's right, Your Highness the Holy Son."

Yue Guan was also taken aback. With him there, he could at least guarantee that Tang Wulin wouldn't face any danger.

He could guarantee it with his life. If anyone wanted to hurt His Highness the Holy Son, they would have to step over his body first!

"Teacher, that's not what I mean. I have someone else in mind."

Tang Wulin smiled and shook his head. He certainly wasn't that foolish. Since Spirit Hall had the ability, why wouldn't he bring someone along?

"Someone else? You want to take Ghost Elder? That works too."

Bibi Dong ventured a guess. If it was Ghost Douluo, his strength was about on par with Yue Guan's, and he was fast too. He was a good choice.

"No."

Tang Wulin quickly shook his head. Naturally, he couldn't take the other half of that bumbling duo either.

"Then could it be the Titled Douluo you recruited before, the one who's still a long way from level 95? He's too weak. He won't do."

Bibi Dong thought of a rather weak Titled Douluo whose Martial Soul was the Jade Phosphorous Serpent.

Two years ago, after he rejected Spirit Hall's attempt to recruit him, Wulin had used special means to win his loyalty. Although he was still in Heaven Dou City, they had long since established friendly ties in secret...

"Of course not."

"His strength is far inferior to Elder Ju's."

Tang Wulin shook his head. Old Dugu Bo was indeed an expert in group battles, but he probably couldn't even tickle Tang Hao.

"Then who?"

Bibi Dong was startled. A bad feeling welled up in her heart. Could it be...

"Teacher, I'm planning to ask Senior Golden Crocodile to accompany me."

Tang Wulin revealed his plan.

But to Bibi Dong, the words "Golden Crocodile Douluo" were particularly jarring.

"Why does it have to be him? Give me a reason."

A strange look appeared in Bibi Dong's eyes.

Many years ago, that old thing Golden Crocodile had wanted to snatch her disciple. Could it be that now, years later...

Wulin had actually chosen him?

She was Wulin's master!

"Teacher, I have a feeling that Elder Ju and Ghost Elder's cultivation won't be enough to support me on my training journey. After all, any faction hostile to Spirit Hall could send experts after me, or even form an alliance..."

"And among the experts I know, aside from you, Senior Golden Crocodile has the strongest cultivation. I can only ask him, since it isn't suitable for you to leave the Pope's Palace, Teacher."

Tang Wulin had long since prepared what he would say. Bibi Dong fell silent for a moment as she listened. Her mood improved, and she also had a suspicion.

"The Upper Three Sects haven't been quiet lately."

"If Wulin encounters either Sword or Bone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, it might really be troublesome."

Bibi Dong thought of the situation in recent days. Her face turned cold again, and her eyes darkened. The Upper Three Sects...

If they continued to be so ungrateful and even dared to dream of harming her Wulin, they couldn't blame her for being ruthless.

For the moment, she no longer cared much about the Second Worship going out with him. Compared with Wulin's safety, it was a small matter.

"I understand. We'll do as you say."

"Also, where do you want to go?"

At last, Bibi Dong asked.

"My first stop will be the Heaven Dou Empire."

Tang Wulin didn't hide it and answered with a smile.

"The Heaven Dou Empire? If you get the chance to visit Heaven Dou City, you can also help me see... Mm, you can have a look around there. It's quite nice."

Bibi Dong had been about to say something, but when the image of an angel flashed through her mind, her eyes couldn't help filling with annoyance.

"I will."

Tang Wulin nodded. He could see the conflict in her eyes, but he was determined to meet that person in Heaven Dou City as well.

But before that, he wouldn't be able to eat or sleep in peace unless he arranged a way for Tang Hao to court death!

With that thought, he withdrew from the Pope's Palace and headed toward Golden Crocodile Douluo's residence on Martial Soul Sacred Mountain.

"Hm?"

"You want this old man to protect you on your training journey!"

Before long, on the Holy Mountain, Golden Crocodile Douluo stared at the young man before him as if in shock and couldn't help exclaiming.

"That's right."

"Teacher can't leave her duties at Spirit Hall, and I might encounter danger on this trip, so I'm sorry for troubling you, Senior."

Seeing his expression, Tang Wulin's heart sank. It seemed he wasn't very willing. After all, he was a worship of the Worship Hall. Tang Wulin had been presumptuous...

But before Tang Wulin could react, Golden Crocodile Douluo had already begun circulating his Soul Power, looking vaguely impatient to set off.

"Trouble? What trouble?"

"What are we waiting for? Tell me, where are we going?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at him with a genial smile and spoke kindly.

Trouble? What trouble was there in this?

Wulin had invited him. Even a moment's hesitation would be disrespectful to Wulin!

"..."

Golden Crocodile Douluo: Angel escort. Me. Got it?
