Tang Wulin and Long Yue attacked simultaneously.
On one side, Tang Wulin's body erupted with crimson-gold Qi and Blood Power. Two golden halos shimmered outside his body, and an aura of brutal and crazy spread across the arena, unconsciously affecting everyone present.
Having just fused a new Golden Dragon King seal, Tang Wulin couldn't fully restrain the brutal nature deep within his Golden Dragon King bloodline.
On the other side, Long Yue released his Martial Spirit.
Around him, the arena floor began to flow as if turning into a river. The river surged, eventually breaking through the ground, forming towering mountains.
An aura as immense as mountains and peaks resisted the pressure from Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King bloodline.
"Although his control is poor, it's indeed the pure bloodline of the Mountain Dragon King. This isn't something that can be inherited genetically, nor is it a typical manifestation of atavism. This is external grafting."
Gu Yue stared at Long Yue, confirming her conjecture.
The source of Long Yue's bloodline was definitely related to the Dragon Tomb.
Beside her, Su Ming's focus was on Tang Wulin.
"Tang Wulin, who awakened the Blue Silver Emperor early, finds it easier to fuse with his bloodline power. At the very least, he's fusing these initial seals quite quickly."
Before coming to the Star Luo Continent, Tang Wulin hadn't fused the fifth seal.
He completed the fusion during the intervals of the Spirit Master competition.
Meaning, he fused the fifth seal in just one night.
While this was also due to his significant improvements and ample preparation, it was still a signal that couldn't be ignored.
"Without the power of the sixth seal, without obtaining the Golden Dragon Spear, Tang Wulin only has a chance to be beaten by Long Yue."
Su Ming watched as Tang Wulin was quickly suppressed by Long Yue below and mused to himself.
Monster Academy was built entirely in imitation of Shrek Academy. Their excavation of powerful individuals was very thorough, and they were not lacking in combat experience.
Some said Long Yue was purely bullying Tang Wulin with his age advantage.
That was correct.
But Tang Wulin's external advantages were too great; who could defeat him without an age advantage?
His existence was an accident for this era. A true horizontal comparison shouldn't be against the accidental Tang Wulin, but against Shrek's normal students.
The requirement for this Spirit Master competition was under twenty years old.
That meant Long Yue, at an age not exceeding twenty, had broken through to Spirit Emperor and possessed a full set of Two-Word Battle Armor.
Converting this to Shrek Academy, his peers were still pursuing becoming One-Word Battle Armor Masters, which corresponds to the current third grade.
Of course, Mo Jue and the others were still two or three years away from twenty and would definitely become One-Word Battle Armor Masters before twenty. But Monster Academy also had the Eight Great Kings like the Tiger King, Tower King, and Fox King. Except for Dai Yun'er, they were all One-Word Battle Armor Masters.
As Su Ming pondered, Tang Wulin was forced into a desperate situation.
In this desperate situation, he roared instinctively.
A dragon's roar issued from his mouth.
The bloodline pressure of the Golden Dragon King descended upon Long Yue.
However, Long Yue, already excited from the battle, became even more frenzied under this pressure. His eyes began to turn blood-red.
The more he was pressured, the more crazy he became.
"He's lost control."
Su Ming thought to himself.
He watched this scene, anticipating Lao Tang's intervention.
Lao Tang did intervene.
This battle could not be lost.
Lao Tang had seen how Tang Wulin had been struck too many times by Su Ming, and how Gu Yue subtly pressured him. He knew Tang Wulin's spirit was stretched to the breaking point.
Losing another match might cause his entire belief system to collapse.
"Wu Lin, watch carefully. My understanding of the Golden Dragon King's power isn't deep, but what I can teach you is the power of the Blue Silver Emperor."
"Third Spirit Skill, Blue Silver Golden Light Array!"
The golden halos outside Tang Wulin's body vanished, replaced surprisingly by the Spirit Rings of his Blue Silver Emperor.
Seeing this, Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
It's stable.
Lao Tang had intervened.
"He didn't intervene in the original story, but he does now. So, in Lao Tang's view, there's a reason Tang Wulin cannot lose this battle."
But it was useless.
Simple intervention couldn't reverse the battle situation.
Just like during the Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition, an absolute difference in strength cannot be compensated for by skill alone.
On the arena, countless golden vines shot out, enveloping Long Yue.
The Blue Silver Golden Light Array possessed an element stripping effect.
Around these Blue Silver Emperor vines, dense clusters of golden light points gathered, condensing into a single, brilliantly golden Blue Silver vine that tied up Long Yue.
"Unfixed Wind and Waves?"
Su Ming felt a slight doubt.
That can't be right. Could Tang San have practiced Unfixed Wind and Waves to such a level of mastery?
The next second, Su Ming relaxed.
The function of this golden vine was indeed restraint, but it wasn't the perfect, absolute control of Unfixed Wind and Waves.
Long Yue simply roared and broke free from the vine's bindings.
However, 'Tang Wulin' had used that brief interval, stepping with Phantom Demonic Trace, to escape Long Yue's attack range.
The battle continued.
Using the Blue Silver Emperor and Tang Sect secret techniques, 'Tang Wulin' managed to hold out against Long Yue for over thirty exchanges.
"To defeat Long Yue, hard power is still essential. Wu Lin, prepare to fuse the sixth seal."
"Ah? I haven't made any preparations."
"No preparation needed. I will intervene to help guide your bloodline power. But doing so will permanently consume one-third of the power I left within you."
While Tang Wulin was still hesitating, Lao Tang directly opened the sixth seal within Tang Wulin's body.
On the arena, 'Tang Wulin''s eyes also turned blood-red, his entire person resembling a brutal giant dragon.
An inexplicably vast amount of Qi and Blood Power surged from his body, causing his skin to even crack.
His Blue Silver Emperor Spirit Rings were once again replaced by the golden Qi and Blood Spirit Rings. Outside the two existing golden Qi and Blood Spirit Rings, a third one was visibly condensing.
Lao Tang still controlled Tang Wulin's body.
He manipulated the power from the sixth Golden Dragon King seal, expending it lavishly as he fought enjoyably with Long Yue.
They traded blows back and forth.
With the power disadvantage compensated, they finally had a foundation for a real fight.
While expending this power, Lao Tang also allocated some energy to maintain Tang Wulin's vitality.
Tang Wulin's consciousness was struggling under the impact of the Golden Dragon King's power.
Fortunately, he didn't need to control his body and forcibly endured it, gradually merging with this power.
Both sides in the conflict slowly shifted from Lao Tang vs. Long Yue to Tang Wulin vs. Long Yue.
By now, Tang Wulin had lost his clear consciousness.
Just like Long Yue, he was influenced by his own bloodline power, descending into his most primitive and crazy state.
The metal-made arena was pitted with holes from their strikes, and countless metal fragments flew in all directions.
If not for the Spirit Tool barrier surrounding the arena blocking these fragments, countless spectators might have been injured.
"This should count as one intervention."
If it was just possession and fighting, it probably wouldn't consume one of Lao Tang's limited intervention opportunities.
However, if fully helping Tang Wulin absorb the sixth seal is included, that definitely counts as using an intervention opportunity.
Watching this, Su Ming felt that Tang Wulin was simply too reliant on external help.
Although the Golden Dragon King had a full eighteen seals, and each absorption was said to be life-threatening, Tang San had actually left him two safety nets.
