Douluo Dalu - The Story of Sheng Feilong

Gu Yue, Ye Xinglan and Xu Lizhi had arrived at the train station only to see Tang Wulin louly curse at the leaving Soul Train while he was being held down by two security guards. They were stunned but quickly headed over to help Tang Wulin. After a while, the situation had calmed down and the four of them were allowed to leave without consequences as no one was hurt.

Outside the security office, Tang Wulin still had a dark expression, but he remained silent. Xu Lizhi couldn't help but ask what happened as Tang Wulin gnashed his teeth.

"It was Sheng Feilong! That guy tricked me! When I came to the station, I thought a mosquito stung me, but it was him throwing me into an illusion. He disguised himself as a ticket seller and took my money! He even gave me some random torn brochure and held me off by having his illusion strike a conversation about food with me! I was talking to the air in the middle of the station for five minutes! I'll get back at him for this!"

After that he walked off, out of the station, still with the same dark expression on his face. Gu Yue frowned lightly.

"Where are you going, Wulin?" Tang Wulin didn't even stop, but just waved her off and sighed.

"I'm going back to making money... You guys take the next train and do your best; We're not allowed to help each other after all."

A long distance away from them, Sheng Feilong had found his way to a comfortable seat for himself and enjoyed the train ride to Heaven Dou City. He's been riding the same route when he visited his father and Master, so he knew that the ride would take about three hours. His growling stomach pulled him out of his thoughts, causing the man who sat across him to giggle. Apologetically smiling to the man, Sheng Feilong made his way to the dining wagon; Thanks to the change he got when he bought his ticket, he still had enough for a small breakfast.

When they set off from Shrek Academy, it was still so early that none of the students had breakfast yet, so he was really hungry now. He couldn't get too much with what little money he had, but it was still enough to fill his stomach. Staying a while in the dining wagon, he enjoyed the view outside the window, but ultimately made his way back to his seat. The man from before was still there, reading some newspapers when he returned.

Sheng Feilong silently sat down, enjoying the scenery for a while. The man opposite of him was still busy with his newspapers, so Sheng Feilong didn't want to disturb him and decided to just silently cultivate in the mean time. Soul Power cultivation required the Soul Master to remain calm and to not be disturbed by outside influences, so a train wasn't a good spot to train, but Sheng Feilong could still train his Spirit Power.

By now, three months after Song Weihan lifted the ban on his Spirit Power training, Sheng Feilong's Spirit Power had already passed 4.800 points and he got closer and closer to the Spirit Abyss realm. If is speed remained at this pace, he could possible break through in a few months.

Another while later, a voice was heard from the train's speaker, broadcasting a message through the whole train.

"Attention all train attendants! Attention all train attendants! This is your conductor speaking. We have an emergency. Anyone with a weapon should head to the fifth wagon. All passengers are asked to please remain calm for the time being; Everything is under control."

Sheng Feilong looked at the distressed attendants rushing through the wagon, silently cursing in his head. 'What 'everything is under control'? Would they have to broadcast an announcement to the whole train if that were the case? And what's with the 'anyone with a weapon' part?!'

Standing up from his seat, Sheng Feilong decided to go and see if he could be of help. Although he didn't have a weapon on him as the Academy took all of his belongings, he was still a rank 41 Soul Ancestor. That alone was more than enough reason for him to go there! He run towards one of the attendants, telling the man that he was a Soul Master and asked if he could be of help. The attendants eyes lit up and he hastily brought Sheng Feilong to the fifth wagon.

Currently, everyone in the sixth wagon was being evacuated to the seventh, making it harder for Sheng Feilong to get through, but they eventually stepped into the fifth wagon and found a lot of armed personnel standing there and cautiously eyeing the door to the fifth wagon. Sheng Feilong remained behind the bulk of armed men and knelt next to another man, quickly asking about the situation, while the attendant who came with him walked closer to the front.

The man was a bit surprised to see a kid here, but he didn't think much off it before answering. Apparently, a group of armed people had taken over the fifth wagon by force and had already killed the staff that was inside the wagon, taking the passengers hostage. They were currently in a stand off against the aggressors, but under the threats of having the hostages implicated, they couldn't really act and were currently waiting for the train's conductor to take charge of the situation. He also didn't know more as he had only responded to the announcement, arriving just shortly before Sheng Feilong.

About half a minute later, the conductor arrived at the fifth carriage; a woman of about 30 years of age in a formal uniform. She wore a solemn expression and made her way to one of the attendants who seemed to be the security captain. After talking a few sentences in hushed voices, the conductors expression changed. Sheng Feilong couldn't hear everything, but thanks to his strong Spirit Power, he could get a few more pieces of information at least; There were currently 6 armed terrorists and hey hadn't only taken passengers hostage, they had even planted bombs all over the first through fifth wagons! Sheng Feilong swallowed dryly. They were currently on a high-speed train with no other stop before Heaven Dou City. If those bombs explode, the whole train will be destroyed, including the wagons behind them. The conductor made her way to the front, a man with a big shield by her side to protect her.

The conductor took a deep breath before beginning to speak to the terrorists.

"Please don't act impulsively; We can negotiate! If you have any demands, we'll do our best to fulfil them, but please don't hurt the hostages!"

One of the terrorists at the front pointed his gun at the conductor.

"Quit your bullshit! You're the conductor? Inform the Federal government to release the people they arrested 20 days ago. I know you can disconnect the wagons, but if you do that, all the passengers in the first five wagons will die! The bombs will detonate in 30 minutes, if you can't fulfil our demands by then, they'll be blown to pieces!"

The conductor immediately turned to the security captain next to her, telling him to wire their demands to the headquarters. Quickly answering the conductor, the security captain spoke in a hurried voice.

"We've already informed them, they're forwarding it to the federal government." Leaning in a bit closer, he spoke in a quiet voice. "I've also called for backup, they'll be here in 20 minutes and board the train in the ninth wagon."

The conductor nodded before addressing the terrorists again.

"We're fulfilling your demands as we speak, but we need more time; Thirty minutes is too short! Please extend the timer on the bombs! Headquarters has already forwarded your demands to the Federal government, but I don't know how long they will take. Please trust me!"

Sheng Feilong noticed the man in the front glancing at another terrorist closer to the back. Sheng Feilong's view was obstructed by the passenger seats, so he didn't know if that one had a weapon as well, but he saw the man nodding at the one at the front. Only after that did the frontman answer while pointing at the hostages.

"We'll extend the timer by one hour. If you try anything, they will die!"

Sheng Feilong eyed the one in the back, from the other's demeanor, he seemed to be their leader. Stealthily activating his Radiant Emperor's Phantasmagoric Eyes and used his first Soul Skill, Toad Prison, again; The same way he used it against Tang Wulin prior this day. None of them seemed to notice, only the one in the back was warily looking around, releasing his Soul Power to oppose Sheng Feilong Spirit Power.

Sheng Feilong felt his Spirit Power being shaken off, but having five of them under his control already, he waited for a while, not doing anything, but the terrorist's leader also didn't do anything, just warily looking around, trying to spot the one who attacked him. By now, the conductor beckoned all of her staff to leave the wagon and backing off to the sixth while she herself offered to become a hostage instead of the passengers. Just when everyone was trying to convince her to stop, Sheng Feilong stealthily made his way over to the terrorists, making sure the leader didn't see him.

He was already at the front row of their people, but hadn't expected the conductor to notice him, much less suddenly speak to him in shock.

"Boy, what are you doing, get to the back!"

Sheng Feilong cursed his luck, while the terrorist's leader instantly focused on Sheng Feilong, releasing his Soul Power. Sheng Feilong hastily activated his third Soul Skill, Mental Aplification, instantly boosting his Spirit Power to the max before he sent a pure spiritual attack at all of the terrorists!
