Five-Element Qilin Pearl

"Wulin! You're finally awake!"

Jiang Mingyuan opened his arms and gave Tang Wulin a big hug.

Tong Yu, the Qilin Douluo, watched all of this silently from the side.

He felt as if he had returned to his younger days. How he longed to be such an innocent and carefree couple with that girl when he was young.

To be honest, Tang Wulin was actually confused.

He was still undergoing an assessment called the provincial exam in that strange space when he was suddenly pulled out.

Tang Wulin quietly calmed the agitated Jiang Mingyuan. The room was a mess, and Tang Wulin was unaware that he was the culprit. He turned his gaze to the man leaning against the wall, silently watching them.

"Who are you?"

Tang Wulin didn't recognize Tong Yu. He had spent two months adrift at sea and then stayed in the Star Luo Empire for quite some time. He might not be able to name all the Douluo Continent delegations, but he was at least somewhat familiar with them.

This person is definitely not from the Douluo delegation, so why is he here?

At this moment, Jiang Mingyuan released his grip and silently took a step back.

He had just learned from Tong Yu about the grudges and entanglements between him and Tang Wulin. In his vague memories from his previous life, there seemed to be such a story, but it was ultimately Tang Wulin's family matter. What he needed to do now was to make room for him.

"Hello, Tang Wulin. My name is Tong Yu. I know your father... no... I know your grandmother."

grandmother?

Tang Wulin had never met his grandmother, and he rarely even heard his father mention his grandparents.

For some reason, Tong Yu's guilty look and Brother Yuan's quiet departure made Tang Wulin feel that something bad was about to happen.

"It's probably impossible to explain this clearly."

Tong Yu channeled his powerful mental energy, creating a three-dimensional image in front of the two of them.

The scenery changed rapidly.

It's a story about a little boy, a poor and weak boy who is unwilling to accept his fate and vows to become stronger.

However, this boy's story ultimately ended in tragedy.

The boy lost his childhood love and his only family member.

The image freezes on a little boy hiding under a table, sobbing uncontrollably.

A very bad feeling arose in Tang Wulin's mind at this moment. He subconsciously reached out to grab something beside him, but he grabbed nothing.

Brother Yuan wasn't by his side.

Tong Yu spoke, stating his points in a slow, calm tone.

"This little boy is your father. I killed your grandmother with my own hands."

Jiang Mingyuan didn't go far. He was actually holding the two little ones, hiding in the Restroom, pressed tightly against the door, and listening intently to the sounds coming from the bedroom.

They were afraid that Tang Wulin wouldn't be able to handle the blow.

What was Tang Wulin's reaction?

Tang Wulin's mind went blank. He had experienced too much these past few days: first, the defeat in the competition, then participating in a God's Trial, and then Old Tang disappeared. Now someone was telling him that his grandmother's killer was right in front of him.

At this moment, Tang Wulin desperately wished someone could be by his side so he could lean on them.

Tong Yu noticed Tang Wulin's confusion. Tang Wulin's expression was so similar to his own when he learned of his mother's death.

"I'm not here to ask you to forgive me on behalf of your father. I'm here simply to try and make amends for the mistakes I made back then in my own way."

Suddenly, Tong Yu unleashed his Martial Soul, and the majestic and domineering image of a Qilin appeared on his somewhat thin body.

A domain composed of five Halo formed from the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth expanded out from beneath the feet, enveloping the entire room.

The Qilin Martial Soul is born with control over the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

The five fundamental principles circulated and surged within his body.

However, this power was not released outwards; instead, it gradually receded inwards, gathering within Tong Yu's chest.

Tong Yu was extracting his own Martial Soul Origin, life essence, and cultivation accumulated over a lifetime.

Five colors continuously seeped from the pores of his entire body. The five-colored light gathered and swirled at his chest, gradually compressing into a five-colored sphere of light.

Tang Wulin didn't stop him; he didn't even have time to. He just watched as the powerful Titled Douluo before him weakened in an instant.

The Five-Element Domain completely dissipated, and the last trace of Soul Power was injected into the five-colored light sphere.

The sphere of light solidified completely.

Tong Yu opened his mouth and spat out a multicolored bead that exuded a rich aura.

Five-Element Qilin Pearl.

This was Tong Yu's own choice.

He has let his teacher down.

"Tang Wulin, I'm entrusting this Five-Element Qilin Pearl, which contains the essence of my life, to you. I heard that your father hasn't awakened his Soul Power. Giving him this pearl will improve his aptitude. If he doesn't need it, you can absorb it yourself. I've heard that you have Dragon Race blood within you; perhaps with the blessing of my Qilin bloodline, you can become even stronger."

Tang Wulin did not accept the Five-Element Qilin Pearl with delight. Tang Wulin was a kind person, and he immediately rushed over to support the weak Tong Yu; what he had to do was save lives.

"Brother Yuan! Where are you! Please come and help me!"

Jiang Mingyuan, who had been secretly observing the area from behind the toilet door, was now completely numb from watching.

Wonderful.

However, Tang Wulin is still the same as always; he gets flustered as soon as he's not around.

"Hmph! Wulin, step aside, let me do it."

As his life force gradually depleted, his soul began to show signs of dissipating. His vision gradually blurred.

Looking at the flustered boy before him, Tong Yu's lips trembled. He wanted to speak, but no words came out; he could only silently repeat himself in his heart.

"Mother, I've come to find you."

Just as Tong Yu was about to return to the heavens, a fiery red figure filled with divine radiance entered his field of vision.

He felt his gradually cooling limbs begin to warm up, and the flame of life within his chest reignited.

"What's this?"

By this time, the fighting below the hotel had long since ceased.

Cai Yue'er and Zhuo Shi were beaten to the ground and couldn't get up. Mu Ye had already put on his Four-Word Battle Armor. His red Mecha transformed into a large cleaver, which he held tightly in his hand, always on guard against En Ci's movements.

Back when Tang Wulin was possessed by the Golden Dragon King, Mu Ye had considered going up to help. However, he trusted Jiang Mingyuan to handle it. The two people below needed his help more.

Next, with the burst of Tong Yu's aura and the sudden decline of his life force, En Ci lost the mood to continue playing with the two of them.

But in an instant, another realm brimming with vibrant life force unfolded.

En Ci glared fiercely at Mu Ye, then left the battlefield and flew towards the outskirts of Jiang Mingyuan's room.

"My apprentice! Where is my apprentice?!"

Mu Ye also flew up, closely following En Ci. He would immediately intervene should Enci intend to do anything bad to Tang Wulin or Jiang Mingyuan.

Mu Ye had already sensed the decline of En Ci's aura; he was far less powerful than when he fought Jiang Mingyuan.

Furthermore, having had some of his power depleted by Cai Yue'er and Zhuo Shi, Mu Ye felt that if he activated the Martial Soul Second Awakening, he should be able to suppress him for a short period of time.

"Apprentice!"

En Ci's eyes widened in fury when she saw Tong Yu's current state. She rushed over and nearly knocked Jiang Mingyuan flying.

In fact, En Ci had already anticipated that Tong Yu might do something irrational given his personality.

He hadn't originally planned to tell Tong Yu about this. En Ci intended to wait until everything was over before tricking Tong Yu into revealing himself, but some idiot somehow leaked Tang Wulin's information to Tong Yu.

There was no other way. En Ci could only bring Tong Yu along to give it a try.
