Chapter 190
"Alright, now that everyone's here," Wu Changkong swallowed the last steamed bun in his hand, cleared his throat, and said, "The Youth Soul Master Tournament held by the Star Luo Continent is scheduled to open in three days. I won't force you to train intensively during these three days; you can choose to relax or even stroll around Star Luo City. However, your current identity is to represent Shrek Academy and Douluo Continent in this competition. Even if you can't win first place, at least don't lose too badly."
"Don't worry, Teacher Wu. As long as we all work together, we'll definitely achieve good results," Tang Wulin said confidently, patting his chest.
"There's one more thing. Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan, Zhang Yangzi, Wang Jinxi, Luo Ye Xinglan, Luo Guixing, Xu Lizhi, and Yang Nianxia, you Tang Sect members, come with me. I'll take you to the Tang Sect branch in Star Luo City to report for duty. You're free to do whatever you want this morning. My only advice is not to be too conspicuous. Star Luo City full of hidden talents. We're here to exchange ideas in a friendly and polite manner, not to cause trouble."
As he spoke, Wu Changkong picked up his plate and got up to leave. But then he noticed a hint of unease on Tang Wulin's face.
"What's wrong? Tang Wulin, you can tell me what's wrong."
Jiang Mingyuan gave him a wink, signaling him to speak quickly.
"Um, Teacher Wu, actually, this morning my Soul Power Level officially reached level 40. I've already arranged with Jiang Mingyuan that we'll go to the Spirit Pagoda to choose Soul Spirit later."
Tang Wulin officially reached level 40 this morning. In fact, during the ocean voyage, his Soul Power was just a Sisi away from level 40. Mu Ye even suggested an extreme training session to help Tang Wulin break through this last barrier.
However, Jiang Mingyuan still felt sorry for Tang Wulin and said that it was okay to take it slow. He would naturally break through in no time.
This morning, Tang Wulin couldn't resist breaking through the almost invisible membrane between levels 39 and 40, successfully achieving a breakthrough.
Wu Changkong stared at Tang Wulin for a while, then nodded. Although Tang Wulin's Soul Power cultivation was relatively low among the children he had brought from Eastsea City, his true strength could not be simply judged by his Soul Power cultivation. Since the two of them had reached an agreement, he would grant their wish.
"Alright, you guys go to the Spirit Pagoda first. I'll notify the Tang Sect branch in Star Luo City. At the latest, it shouldn't be later than tomorrow. You can take the Tang Sect's token and report to the branch."
"Thank you, Teacher Wu. Jiang Mingyuan and I will be leaving now." Tang Wulin bowed to Wu Changkong, then took Jiang Mingyuan's hand and left.
Xie Xie couldn't help but show an envious expression.
"Tang Wulin is truly blessed, and his strength is indeed extraordinary. Perhaps he can become a figure like Spirit Ice Douluo Tang Wulin the future."
But who can know what the future holds?
Xie Xie turned his head and looked at Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi, who were sitting to his right and inseparable from each other all day long.
As everyone knows, five out of the seven members of the Eastsea City group have formed two couples. So, which two are single?
Xie Xie glanced at Xu Xiaoyan on his right.
"Xu Xiaoyan, don't you think we're a bit out of place? How about we become a couple?"
"You devil!" Xu Xiaoyan glared at him irritably, stood up, picked up her plate, and left.
Xie Xie felt his self-esteem had been severely damaged. He collapsed to the ground, writhing like a salted fish, and let out a wail of lament against the injustice of fate.
"Heavens above! Earth below! I, Xie Xie, am so handsome, why is it that no girl likes me?!"
Xie Xie's commotion attracted the attention of many people in the cafeteria. Fortunately, the hotel had been booked by their Douluo Continent delegation, so they didn't lose face on other continents.
"Get up right now. Don't make me kick you." Wu Changkong covered his face, too ashamed to show his face. From now on, when he went out, he wouldn't dare say that Xie Xie was someone he had taught.
The wide street was bustling with pedestrians, and various shops lined both sides. This was the famous pedestrian street in Star Luo City, named Spirit Ice Avenue. The shops on both sides of the street were all built in the style of ancient architecture, full of ancient and elegant charm.
Tang Wulin walked down the street with his hands behind his head, a faint smile on his face.
As they walked, a mobile stall ahead caught their attention.
It was a small wooden cart, and in front of the stall was a kind-looking middle-aged man in his forties or fifties who was making sugar figurines.
A crowd of parents and children had gathered around the stall, and the children's faces were full of joy.
"Wulin, I want to eat that." Jiang Mingyuan pointed ahead.
"Boss, how much are your sugar figurines? What kinds of designs can you make?"
The middle-aged man looked up, revealing a kind expression.
"Young man, ten Star Luo Coin each. Whatever design you want, I can draw it for you. Don't underestimate me; I've been doing this for over ten years. My skills are among the best on this street."
Because the Douluo Continent Federation reformed and adopted the Federation Coin, the other two continents followed suit, abolishing the old and inconvenient Silver Soul Coin and adopting paper money.
Even before they boarded the cruise ship, Foreign Minister Sima Lanxiao had already sent a special envoy to exchange currency for all the passengers and members of the delegation.
The approximate exchange rate between the two continents is 1 Federation Coin to Star Luo Coin.
Tang Wulin quickly calculated in his mind. It really wasn't expensive.
"Boss, give me two, could you draw a dragon and a Phoenix?" With that, Tang Wulin directly used his Soul Power to Simulation and construct his own Golden Dragon King phantom and Jiang Mingyuan's Phoenix phantom.
The middle-aged boss, upon seeing this, couldn't help but feel like crying inside.
Damn it, you really have no manners at all.
However, it's impossible to ruin one's reputation in front of everyone.
The shopkeeper used his life's work to hand Tang Wulin two sugar figurines that, while not exactly beautiful, were somewhat similar in appearance.
"Brother Yuan, this is for you."
Tang Wulin handed the Golden Dragon King's sugar figurine to Jiang Mingyuan. Jiang Mingyuan had been looking at it for a while and thought the Phoenix sugar figurine was for him.
Ultimately, they're all made of syrup, so they taste pretty much the same. Jiang Mingyuan stuck out his tongue and licked the dragon head in small bites.
Seeing this, Tang Wulin leaned close to Jiang Mingyuan's ear and whispered something.
"Brother Yuan, how are you?"
