Eye to Eye with the Silver Dragon King

Tang Wulin looked at Xie Xie and said helplessly, "Didn't I tell you before? I have an older brother. He used to be at the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters, and now he's come to Eastsea Academy to see me."

By this point, Xie Xie had recovered from his shock at Mu Tianchen.

Inside the dormitory, Xie Xie looked at Tang Wulin and complained bitterly, "Come on, Wulin, you should've told us sooner! If you'd told us earlier that your big brother was coming to our academy, we should've taken him out for a meal!"

As they spoke, Mu Tianchen and Xie Xie quickly let go of each other's hands.

Hearing Xie Xie's words, Mu Tianchen could not help but find them amusing. Looking at Xie Xie, he said with a smile, "There's no need to eat out. This place is perfectly fine."

At that moment, Mu Tianchen began sizing Xie Xie up. In the original story, Xie Xie possessed the Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger as his martial souls, making him a Soul Master with both the Light Attribute and Space Attribute.

Among the new generation of the Shrek Seven Devils, Xie Xie's strength was not particularly outstanding. He could only overpower Xu Xiaoyan and Xu Lizhi, who were Auxiliary-type Soul Masters.

As for the others—whether it was Ye Xinglan, who possessed the Stargod Sword martial soul; Yuanen Yehui, who possessed the Twin Martial Souls of the Titan Giant Ape and Fallen Angel; or Yue Zhengyu, the Holy Angel—Xie Xie seemed somewhat outmatched.

However, later on, Xie Xie fused the Light Dragon Dagger martial soul with the Shadow Dragon Dagger martial soul, forming the Space-Time Dragon martial soul. His combat strength then underwent a tremendous increase. By then, it was impossible to say whose combat strength was greater.

Of course, Xie Xie and his younger brother Wulin had not yet entered Shrek Academy, and the new generation of the Shrek Seven Devils had not begun to form.

The moment Xie Xie heard Mu Tianchen say there was no need to eat out, he immediately objected. "How can we receive Big Brother Mu here? I've long heard Wulin talk about you, and now that I've seen you, you truly look like a divine being!"

"Cough, cough. A divine person like you, Big Brother Mu, should be taken to the most luxurious hotel in East Sea City. Only a hotel like that can match your status. Come on, Wulin, let's go!"

After Mu Tianchen fused with ten drops of True Dragon Essence Blood from ancient times, his entire body had gradually changed. He had increasingly come to possess a sacred aura.

This sacred aura seemed natural and innate. In Xie Xie's eyes, the holy presence surrounding Wulin's older brother was simply incomparably powerful.

Of course, he was eager to take Wulin's older brother to a hotel not merely so that he could experience VIP treatment. He also wanted to avoid that crazy girl, Gu Yue!

"Hehe, go?"

"You brat, where do you think you're going?"

Just then, Gu Yue strode into the dormitory from outside, radiating killing intent. She narrowed her eyes and immediately spotted Xie Xie. The killing intent in her eyes seemed almost tangible, capable of killing without a trace.

Yet when she saw Mu Tianchen, she froze completely.

Mu Tianchen was now one meter eighty-five tall, with a lean figure and a strong physique. At a glance, it was obvious that he was not an eleven- or twelve-year-old boy.

At that moment, Gu Yue could not help recalling what Wulin had told her years ago. Wulin had said that besides himself, he also had an older brother.

His older brother was three years older than him. He had awakened his martial soul at a very young age before going to the Spirit Pagoda.

She remembered Wulin telling her that his older brother's awakened martial soul was the Holy Dragon of Light, a Light Attribute giant dragon. He possessed Innate Full Soul Power and had been accepted as a disciple by the Sky Phoenix Douluo.

Could this young man before her be the older brother Wulin had spoken of?

The instant Mu Tianchen saw Gu Yue, his mind suffered an enormous impact. It was an indescribably mysterious force, but his spiritual power had already reached the peak of the Spirit Abyss Realm, stronger than Gu Yue's current level.

Thus, he only lost focus for a brief moment before recovering.

He smiled at Gu Yue and said, "I heard Wulin mention that Eastsea Academy has a Zero Class, and that the strongest student in it is a girl named Gu Yue. You must be the Gu Yue Wulin told me about, right?"

"Hello. I'm Wulin's older brother, Mu Tianchen. I've spent these past years cultivating at the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters and rarely come to Eastsea Academy."

"Oh, hello." Gu Yue quickly came back to her senses and nodded at Mu Tianchen.

Gu Yue herself was the Silver Dragon King, one of the Dragon God's two great incarnations. Left with no other choice, she had assumed human form and entered human society.

As the noble Silver Dragon King, she had always been cold toward others, except Tang Wulin, who possessed the Golden Dragon King bloodline. Even if the other person was Wulin's older brother, it should have been no different.

Yet at this moment, as she looked at Mu Tianchen, she was utterly shocked.

She remembered Wulin saying that his older brother was only three years older than him. Wulin was twelve years old now, which meant his older brother could be no more than fifteen.

But how was that possible?! How could a fifteen-year-old possess such powerful spiritual power?

Just now, she had sensed an aura seemingly probing her. In her urgency, she had directly unleashed her spiritual power and attacked that probing presence.

Yet the moment her spiritual attack came into contact with the other party, it dissipated into nothingness.

She knew that probing sensation had come from Wulin's older brother, Mu Tianchen. But how could Wulin's older brother possess such formidable spiritual power?

According to humanity's classification of spiritual power realms, Wulin's older brother's spiritual power had to be at least at the Spirit Abyss Realm, right?

Fifteen years old, with spiritual power at the Spirit Abyss Realm?

What a terrifying spiritual power realm was that?

However, besides his spiritual power realm, there was something else that shocked her just as much: Wulin's older brother's Soul Power Level!

In her eyes, Wulin's older brother was only three years older than Wulin. Wulin himself was currently only a two-ringed Soul Grandmaster, so as Wulin's older brother, he should at most have been in his thirties or forties.

Yet she had just sensed from Wulin's older brother an aura similar to Wu Zhangkong's.

Wu Zhangkong was a sixty-ninth-rank Soul Emperor! He was also a Two-Word Battle Armor master. Could Wulin's older brother also be a Soul Emperor in his sixties?

If that were true, then Wulin's older brother was truly far too formidable.

Gu Yue could not help narrowing her eyes. She was the Silver Dragon King, and she had entered human society in human form to completely destroy humanity and restore the Soul Beasts' age of prosperity.

The emergence of such a peerless genius with such immense potential among humans was not something she wanted to see. Once he grew up, he would undoubtedly deal a tremendous blow to their Soul Beast race.

Because of Mu Tianchen's arrival, Gu Yue could no longer do anything to Xie Xie.

At that moment, Tang Wulin said to Xie Xie and Gu Yue, "Xie Xie, Gu Yue, let me formally introduce you. The person beside me is my older brother, Mu Tianchen."

"Due to certain special reasons, he doesn't share my surname. But we grew up together as brothers, and the bond between us is unbreakable."

At that moment, Xie Xie hid behind Mu Tianchen and laughed. "All right, all right, Wulin, we get it. Big Brother Mu, since you're Wulin's older brother, you're my older brother from now on too."

"Uh... Big Brother Mu, since you're the big brother, could you protect me and stop Gu Yue from beating me up? She really hits way too hard!"

As Xie Xie spoke, he looked toward Gu Yue. Ever since meeting Gu Yue, he had been utterly terrified of her.

This Gu Yue was kind only to Wulin. Toward him, she punched and kicked without restraint. Of course, he did not really mind, but getting beaten too much was not good either. If he could avoid it, it was best not to get beaten.

Mu Tianchen smiled softly at this and said, "That's between you two. As an outsider, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to interfere."

"Heavens! Earth!! When will someone come save me?!"

Hearing this, Xie Xie instantly broke down. Half-kneeling on the floor with both hands raised to the sky, he nearly burst into tears.

"Enough, stop howling! If you keep howling, I'll beat you to death!"

Gu Yue walked directly to Xie Xie's side and fiercely slapped his shoulder. The immense force instantly made Xie Xie suck in a cold breath. He felt as though Gu Yue had nearly broken his back.

At that moment, Mu Tianchen asked, "Wulin, didn't you say you had another teammate? Her name was Xu Xiaoyan, I think. Where is she?"

Tang Wulin scratched his head and said awkwardly, "Well, it's the weekend. Xiaoyan said she was going home to see her parents, so she isn't at the academy today."

"I see." Mu Tianchen nodded. Upon hearing that Xu Xiaoyan was not at Eastsea Academy, he decided to wait for another opportunity.

He actually rather wanted to meet the legendary Xu Xiaoyan, the number one controller beneath the stars. According to the original story's description, Xu Xiaoyan's control skills had absolute certainty of success.

In the early battles, Xu Xiaoyan, a mere two-ringed Soul Grandmaster, had actually been able to use this ability to control Wu Zhangkong, a sixty-ninth-rank Soul Emperor. That alone showed how powerful the skill was.

Suddenly, just then, a small figure burst through the door.

The newcomer was Xu Xiaoyan. She really had intended to go home, but just as she was preparing to leave, she ran into Teacher Wu Zhangkong.

Teacher Wu Zhangkong said that the few of them had been slacking off lately and had not been cultivating properly. Therefore, they were to undergo extra training that weekend, and he had told her to come back and summon Tang Wulin and the others.

The moment Xu Xiaoyan entered, she panted as she said to Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yue, "Captain, Xie Xie, Sister Gu Yue, Teacher Wu Zhangkong told me to find you right away."

"Teacher Wu said he'll personally fight the four of us later. He said he wants to use this battle to assess the results of our cultivation over this period."

"Huh? No way, he wants the four of us to fight Teacher Wu?"

Upon hearing Xu Xiaoyan's words, Xie Xie looked as though he had been struck by lightning, and his expression immediately collapsed.

In truth, this was not their first time fighting Teacher Wu. Before this, they had fought him several times.

But every time they fought Teacher Wu, they were beaten terribly.

In order to improve their actual combat ability, Teacher Wu always went all out and gave them no chance whatsoever.

Other than their first battle with Teacher Wu three years ago, when they had possessed a slight chance of winning, every other time, without exception, they had been beaten terribly by Teacher Wu.

As a result, whenever he heard Teacher Wu mention a battle, he instinctively felt afraid.

However, Mu Tianchen, standing nearby, asked curiously, "Um... are you saying that your teacher wants the four of you students to fight him alone?"

Upon hearing Mu Tianchen's words, Xie Xie's eyes instantly lit up.

That's right, he could bring Wulin's older brother along to fight Teacher Wu with them!

From the very first time he saw Wulin's older brother, he had felt that Wulin's older brother was extraordinary.

Wulin's older brother gave him an extremely powerful, invincible feeling. With such a powerful ally, perhaps they could defeat Teacher Wu!
