Dragon King of Apocalypse

"I didn't expect him to be so brutal."

Xu Xiaoyang had a sullen expression on her lovely face, after hearing Xie Xie words. She already expects him to be brutal and ruthless, consider how he trains her and big sis Mu Xi.

'Ye Xinglang should be lucky it was only a one-time thing and not every day.'

Still, she looks around and saw the audience still recovering from the brutal beat down Tang Wulin gave her. She could only sigh at that fact and hope there isn't too much of a fierce backlash.

'Well, the goods news is this may cause his opponents to forfeit or even drop out.'

"Well good luck vice-leader."

"What you mean good luck. Do you have no fate in me!"

"Did you not see that beatdown?"

Xie Xie face twitches from hearing Xu Xiaoyang comment. He turns to Gu Yue who was staring down hard the match with a smile.

'Sheesh, this girl doesn't want to talk to him when she's mad but still can be happy for him.'

"Your student is pretty brutal…"

Wu Zhangkong lips twitch as he heard Shen Yi comment. In all honesty, this was the first time ever saw Tang Wulin fight against a human opponent 1v1 other than him.

Wu Zhankong was confident he would win but he didn't expect him to completely crush her without his Dragon Slayer Powers and his Dragon Claw.

"I didn't expect him to be that brutal."

"You never saw him fight?"

"In a one on one match with someone other than me, no. It would routinely be a team battle, where he tends to limit his activities and work with the team."

Shen Yi nodded, while still recovering from the match. To say it was fight would be laughable at best.

Ye Xingland was no amateur, she was a person who was able to achieve one with the sword at her age and been training at Shrek so she could become an inner disciple.

But even with that, she was crush and it wasn't through superior martial soul, skill or spirit ring. It was all through vast superior technique and combat experience.

She felt like she is watching her master when she kept seeing Tang Wulin dismantling and destroying Ye Xinglang.

'But how! He just a ten-year-old boy. Even if he knew Wu Zhangkong all his life, he shouldn't be this good at combat.'

"I forewarned you to tell her about Tang Wulin."

"...Just who his he?"

"Our heaven-defying monster."

Shen Yi looks in shock as Wu Zhangkong showed a rarely seen smiles.

#

"Wow, your disciple sure his brutal."

"Uh. I didn't even know he could fight like that Teacher."

Mu Xi listen to her father, as he was talking to his teacher Duan Xuan. She would say she was shocked, but that would be lying.

'Yes! That how it feels.'

So what if she was being petty, she has been suffering months and months of abuse by that little demon. To finally see it done to someone else was truly a bliss feeling.

'Still, I am impressed by her, though.'

Mu Xi would find it hard to not let even a scream if she wasn't used to Tang Wulin beating. Yet Ye Xingland was not only able to take the beating but still refuse to drop her weapon.

'I guess that why he had a smile on his face.'

Mu Xi faces twitch as her father started hugging her while bragging about her to his teacher.

"Still my Mu Xi still the best! Already a fourth rank blacksmith at her age!"

"Keep hugging me, and I won't talk to you for the whole Skysea Alliance stay."

"Ugh!"

Duan Xuan himself laugh at the doting father and daughter scene. Shaking his head, he been trying to poach Tang Wulin, but his stubborn student refuses to give him and Mu Xi up.

'Damg brats!'

Ye Xinglang blinks her eyes, as she struggles to get up. It was solely after trying to sit up that she realizes how much her body hurt.

'What… happened.'

"Big sister Xinglang your up!"

"Shut up fatty!"

Xu Lizihi flinches at his big sister tone, but then she turns to him and asks what happened. He begins to relay the fight between her and Tang Wulin, while she stayed silent.

'So I lost huh.'

"Big sis, don't be mad at big brother Tang Wulin for the beating he gave you!"

Ye Xinglang faces twitch as Xu Lizihi kept on talking. But he sadly wouldn't stop causing her to smack him in the head.

"Help me fatty."

"Huh. But you're injured!"

"Aren't you the food master here, just feed me some and I should be good to move."

"Um ok, but where are you going?"

Ye Xingland didn't say anything as she started eating one of fatty meat bun.

#

"Well, you had fun."

'Whatever do you mean Zeref.'

"Don't give me that. You were smiling that whole match."

'Hm, I guess you're right about that.'

"Aren't you worried you may have broken her will?"

Tang Wulin smiled at Zeref words, not saying anything for a while. He was traversing the arena to go find a place to eat.

'Zeref, people like her are the types to get stronger from a beating like that.'

"You mean she gets a power boost?"

'Not exactly. Their just sore losers.'

"Wait!"

Tang Wulin turns his head to see Xu Lizihi and Ye Xinglang trailing behind. Before Xu Lizihi could say anything, he was shoved out the way by Ye Xinglang who glared at him.

"Don't think this victory means it over."

"I will not take this lying down. I will come back stronger to beat you!"

"So don't you dare to lose anyone until then."

Ye Xingland stared at Tang Wulin with her eyes shining and then turn around to walk around. Xu Lizihi said goodbye and started to chase after her.

"Big sis, what was that about?"

"Big sis please answer-"

"Big sis why is their a red spec on your face? Are you sick or something?"

"Shut up fatty!"

"Big sister so mean!"

Tang Wulin didn't see Ye Xingland face specifically her cheeks that were bright red.

'Even though I lost. I am not mad but why…'

The tournament continues for the next few days, with Tang Wulin opponent forfeiting for the individual match and all of them wisely avoiding him in the team match. This reaches the point where he didn't even have to come on the day of his match.

The people who forfeit couldn't even be judged, considering the brutality they saw done to a pretty girl.

'Just imagine what he would do with me.'

All their thoughts were carefully aligned with this thinking and so the little monster of Eastsea academy was born. Tang Wulin didn't care much and felt this gave him more relax time.

The individual competition Tang Wulin was able to win without a hitch. Xie Xie and Gu Yue forfeit when they had to fight him because they needed conserving their strength for the team competition.

He was able to gain the last item he needed for his 4th dragon seal from the award. All he needs to now is for his body to fully recover and then he can break it.

It was now time for the next team match, where their opponent was a team of all girls. Standing on the opposing side was Wang Dongqi, Zhou Hanyou, and Zhou Tian'er.

"Little brother, are you the famed little demon we have been hearing about?"

Zhou Tian'er was genuinely shocked as she only saw 10-year-old kids in front of her. Tang Wulin didn't care for idle talk, causing Zhou Tian'er to mobile lips to twitch at his lack of response.

Zhou Hanyou glared at her younger sister before turning to Tang Wulin and nodding.

"Three, two, one, begin!"

Thus, the match between the two strongest teams in group three began.

Gu Yue created a storm of ice, to send it towards the opposing team.

At that moment, the students of Sealand Academy revealed the brilliance of their soul rings.

Zhou Hanyou and Wang Dongqi had three soul rings; the former had two yellow rings and one purple, while the latter's were all yellow As for Zhou Tian'er, she only had two yellow soul rings.

Zhou Hanyou launches a rippling wave of mist to mask the opposing team vision and then her teammates dodge away from the mighty storm coming their way. Xie Xie exploited the ice storm as a smokescreen and was able to sneak behind the girls.

He aims his daggers at the Zhou Hanyou while she wasn't looking but then she disappeared from his sight. He suddenly tries to locate her and found her a dozen feet away from her.

'How did she notice me and move so fast!'

Xie Xie still chases after her, using the Tang Sect Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to narrow the gap between them. Zhou Hanyou was surprised at his footwork but was able to create an Ice Wall the moment he got close.

Thankfully through Xie Xie fast reflexes and combat experience, he was able to evade it.

He then saw Wang Dongqi coming towards him with her Thunder Flash Sword. She thought he would have retreated but to her surprise, he dashes toward her. She slashes at him sending a bolt of silver lighting but he easily evades it.

Wang Dongqi went to go use her second soul skill but then tremble, as she felt dizziness hit her. He then came in for the strike. Wang Dongqi was too late to react as Xie Xie struck her.

Slash!

Wang Dongqi operated her silver lightning to halt him from making a second strike. While she was able to stop him, she knew she was injured and was at the disadvantage.

'Just what was that skill and why are his eyes purple… Don't tell me!'

While that was happening Gu Yue was taking on both Zhou Hanyu and Zhou Tian'er, she was surprisingly able to fight them both without losing ground. She was able to sneak attack them when they were confused on Xie Xie switching his opponent.

'Do they really not want me to join?'

"Of course, they already know you would destroy the competition. To them, there would be no point in the tournament if only you fought."

'I guess you're right.'

Tang Wulin still impressed at the progress of Xie Xie and Gu Yue.

'It seems she becomes even more motivated than before.'

Zeref only shook his head, he knew Gu Yue was feeling that pressure of Acnologia basically being able to nullify and eat her elements.

'But why, though?'

That the only part that confuses Zeref, is she worried he may leave her behind or is there something more.

Gu Yue was using her vast mastery over the element to keep Zhou Hanyu and Zhou Tian'er from helping each other. She would use her light elements to blind one side and then her fireballs with the wind to suppress the other one.

Even while she was doing this, inwardly she was conflicted.

'Damg him. Why did he have to have the ability to eat the elements and resistance to them.'

'Why didn't he tell he wasn't going to ride the bus.'

'Dang it.'

Gu Yue combine both her fire and wind to create a giant tornado. Then she did the same with her Ice and the wind to create another one, sending each one to the sisters.

"She comprehends the element's heart!" The always smiling Zhou Tian'er finally lost her composure as she cried out in alarm.

This element's heart was only significant to elemental-type soul masters. If they wanted to gain true power, then they had to understand the heart of the element they controlled.

An element's heart was its essence and as long as one grasped it, not only could one draw upon the power within themselves, they could also tap into the elemental power found in the atmosphere. It was an ability that allowed one's strength to reach beyond their soul power.

Tang Wulin blink when he saw embrace each other and then in that instant, their aura of power soared to astonishing heights.

"It another soul-fusion, you have to move fast. Gu Yue in trouble."

On the stage Zhou Hanyou and Zhou Tian'er began to sparkle as if the two were spirits blossoming with radiance, plunging their surroundings into a world of cold.

Blue and green lights interweaved together to form a blanket of ice-cold mist that spread across the arena, overwhelming the fire and wind element in air and slowing the firestorm's growth.

Gu Yue's expression darkened. A soul fusion skill was beyond her expectations.

In the next instant, a white radiance appeared in front of her before revealing a giant tree, its icy-blue body seemingly condensed of ice yet bursting with vitality.

A heavy restraining power pressed down on Gue Yue as the chill gathered around her surroundings. The ground trembled, then split apart as a multitude of glacial-blue trees sprouted from the earth.

Soul fusion skill: Forest of Ice!

Gu Yue was gritting her teeth as she saw the attack coming her way. But then her eyes widen in shock when she saw Tang Wulin rubbing her head and with a smile, picking her up.

Icicles started coming towards him but he then grins and opens his mouth to inhale. She knew he had the ability to eat all elements and that it depends on the difference between his strength to theirs.

'Are you telling me a soul fusion skill, isn't strong enough.'

The Forest of Ice started to lose its power, as it was all being absorbed by Tang Wulin. The icicles themselves were being melted in water, the ice forming on the floor was and the air was all being suck into his mouth.

The glacial blue tress was being broken down and absorb. Zhou Hanyu and Zhou Tian'er watch in absolute shock as their soul fusion skill was instantly broken and instantly absorbed.

Then they felt an overwhelming sense of dread hitting them. Tang Wulin wipes his mouth and then look around the arena before he turns to them. He then started to slowly raise one of his gentle hands.

"Well, I Hope you both had fun using that skill."

"But now, let me return the favor little girls."

Both girls experienced an unimaginable pressure hit them, as the ground started to shake uncontrollably. Tang Wulin moved one hand up, as an intense light started to instantly surround his fist. His pupils were nowhere to be seen, as a fierce wind started to form.

'Zeref.'

"I know."

The girls look, an saw the shadow of Tang Wulin growing bigger.

"Now, time for your punishment."

"Magic Dragon"

"LAW!"

BOOOOOOOM!

Tang Wulin swung down his fist, the dull clouds and sky parted as if heaven was dealing out harsh judgment. The audience and spectators watch in shock, as a mighty pillar of harsh light struck the arena. It envelops the ground where the girls were and brighten up the whole arena.

SWOOOOOSH!

After a while, the brilliant light dissipated and the dust cleared, allowing everyone to see the hole in the arena.

"Be glad, your attacks didn't hit them. Or else your body wouldn't exist."

Tang Wulin stared stoically at the hole in front of him, where he could see the damaged and burned body of Zhou Tian'er and Zhou Hanyu. He knew they were still alive but very injured.

#

The spectators in the box were standing in silence and shock at the match. Whether it was from Gu Yue comprehension of the element's heart, dual-element soul fusion skill! or Tang Wulin himself.

Wu Zhangkong and Zhang Zhenpeng both headed to the arena, as soon as the dual-element soul fusion skill was used. But then were soon stop dead in their track after seeing Tang Wulin stopping the fusion skill and then using an attack to end them.

No one expected the Skysea Alliance Tournament's junior division's three-man event to be this exciting and spectacular.
