Douluo: When Tang Wulin Met Little Huo Niang

Chapter 497 Farewell to Companions (6k)

Tang Wulin chatted with Mang Tian for a while and then went back, only to run into Huo Yutong who had just returned to the room.

Tang Wulin told Huo Yutong, who had just returned from shopping, about his recent breakthrough, and Huo Yutong's face was immediately filled with surprise.

"That means we only need to go to the west of the continent next, right?"

"Yeah, that's right."

As long as he reaches the west of the continent, Huo Yutong can activate the mental detection sharing and find Tang Ziran and his wife.

Tang Wulin smiled and said:

"According to my father, they still have about a week before they leave for the Douling Continent. Yutong, aren't you very interested in the soul guide train? How about we take the soul guide train?"

With the current soul guide train technology, even if it crosses the continent, it only takes a few days.

At least there is still enough time to catch up with Tang Ziran and the others.

"Ok!"

Huo Yutong naturally had no objection. She had been craving for that strange soul guide train for a while.

If Tang Wulin hadn't been in a bad mood, she might have insisted on sitting with Tang Wulin on the day she got her identity certificate.

Tang Wulin touched his chin, as if he suddenly remembered something, and asked:

"Yutong, you should buy the food according to my appetite, right?"

"Uh-huh."

Huo Yutong asked back subconsciously and nodded slightly.

Ever since Tang Wulin's cultivation level improved, he no longer needed to replenish his energy consumption by eating.

But after all, he is a foodie and loves to eat delicious food, so in order to soothe his anxious mood, Huo Yutong has been cooking meals according to his previous appetite over the past two days.

But why is he asking this question?
Tang Wulin smiled and said:

"Yutong, can we have two more people at our dinner table tonight?"

It turned out to be the case.

Huo Yutong suddenly realized.

With Tang Wulin's appetite, having two more people at the table wouldn't have much of a impact.

Anyway, most of them are going into his stomach.
She asked curiously:

"Of course, but who is it?"

Tang Wulin showed a friendly smile, with a hint of nostalgia in his smile.

"Two of the best friends I ever had."

……

"hateful!"

In the evening on the playground, Xie Xie suddenly kicked the stone at his feet away and said indignantly:
"Those people are really blind!"

Gu Yue on the side snorted.

"If you can't even eliminate irrelevant voices, you will never become a truly strong person."

"You...oh, forget it."

Xie Xie got a little angry for a moment, but in the end he didn’t really get angry with Gu Yue.

He murmured dejectedly:
"Where on earth did Wulin go?"

After the competition was cancelled a few days ago, the school quickly issued a notice: the promotion competition was cancelled, and the three freshmen from Class 1 and the two students from Class 5 were combined to form a brand new Class Zero to study together.

This sudden news made many people feel very dissatisfied, especially the three people in Class 1. In their eyes, the two people in Class 5 were not qualified to be compared with them. Why should they form a class with them?
In addition, those who were defeated by Xie Xie and his team were also very unhappy. They originally wanted to see Xie Xie and Gu Yue being beaten up by the three people from Class 1, but who would have thought that not only were they not beaten up, but they were also included in Class Zero.

In this situation where everyone was unhappy with them, all kinds of rumors arose throughout the school. Anyway, to sum it up, Xie Xie and Gu Yue were able to get such a result because they bribed the principal with inferior means, otherwise they would never have been able to win.

Xie Xie had been a little nervous about these rumors for a while, but he couldn't come up with any effective rebuttal.

Because after Class Zero competed with several great soul masters from Class One, even he had to admit that his and Gu Yue's success rate in defeating Class One was indeed not high.

At this time, he began to miss the days when he fought side by side with Tang Wulin. Although that boy's fighting ability was the lowest among the three of them, at least he had a good temper, much better than Gu Yue, who would always challenge him.

At this moment, he heard a somewhat joking voice.

"Why, do you miss me that much?"

He looked up suddenly and saw a young man standing in front of him and Gu Yue.

The young man's face looked extremely familiar to him.

"Um...are you Tang Wulin's brother?"

The young man's face twitched violently, and a fist hit him on the top of the head.

"No! I am Tang Wulin himself!"

The power of this punch was well controlled, just enough to make Xie Xie feel a little painful but not unbearable.

Tang Wulin sighed, and ignored Xie Xie. He turned around and waved to the dumbfounded Gu Yue:
"Hello, long time no see, Gu Yue."

Gu Yue seemed to have just come back to her senses. She frowned and looked at Tang Wulin suspiciously.

"You said you are Wulin?"

"Ah."

"Where's the evidence?"

"Evidence..."

Tang Wulin suddenly felt a headache.

It seemed that he really had no evidence to prove that he was the boy from that year.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of a good idea.

"Ah, yes!"

Then he turned and faced Xie Xie.

"Xie Xie."

"Do, do what?"

Xie Xie had just recovered from the pain, and when he saw Tang Wulin's expectant eyes, he suddenly felt a little scared.

Tang Wulin smiled and said:

"Don't be afraid. What happens next will only be good for you, not bad."

"But all I have is a bad feeling!"

Xie Xie subconsciously wanted to escape, but was grabbed by Tang Wulin, whose iron-like grip made him unable to move.

"Okay, I told you it's a good thing, don't panic."

As he spoke, a small stream of nine-colored energy surged into Xie Xie's body.

In an instant, Gu Yue's expression changed drastically, as if she saw something that made her doubt her life.

Xie Xie still wanted to resist, but at this moment, with the influx of nine-colored energy, his whole body couldn't help but tremble violently, and he almost shouted out because of the intense feeling of comfort.

He just felt that his whole body was filled with strength all of a sudden, and now he seemed to be omnipotent.

Tang Wulin knew it was enough, he let go of her hand and looked at Xie Xie with a smile.

"How is it? Is it very similar to the amplification you received when we fought the Light Dragon together before?"

“…It does look a bit like that.”

Although the extent of the increase varies greatly.

At that time, Xie Xie thought that Tang Wulin had a second martial soul, or that there was a martial soul fusion technique between him and him.

He had only felt a similar feeling from Tang Wulin in his life. Could it be that this young man was really Tang Wulin?

Tang Wulin patted his shoulder gently.

"Okay, come on, sit in my room and I'll explain the situation to you."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the dormitory building.

Xie Xie and Gu Yue looked at each other. There was still some hesitation in Xie Xie's eyes, while Gu Yue was like an inorganic object with no emotion visible.

Xie Xie asked anxiously:
"What should I do? Follow him?"

Gu Yue said lightly:
“Don’t you really want to know about Tang Wulin? Regardless of whether this person is really Tang Wulin, he must have clues about Tang Wulin. Are you just going to give up like that? You are so stupid.”

"Yeah! That makes sense!"

Xie Xie was rarely not angered by Gu Yue’s words. His eyes lit up and he quickly caught up with Tang Wulin.

Looking at the backs of the two people, Gu Yue stood there expressionlessly for a while, and finally snorted and followed them.

Led by Tang Wulin, they arrived at the door of the room where he lived.

As soon as you open the door, the rich aroma of food hits you in the face.

Xie Xie and Gu Yue both sniffed subconsciously, with shock in their eyes.

"smell good!"

Xie Xie was a child from a wealthy family and had eaten all kinds of upper-class delicacies since he was a child, but just by smelling this smell, he dared to bet that no food he had eaten in the past could match it.

Did this young man hire a top chef for them?
He now suddenly felt that it was worth coming here with Tang Wulin. Such delicious food was not something you could have whenever you wanted.

Noticing the looks of the two, Tang Wulin had a smug expression.

"How about it? Doesn't it smell good? This is made by my wife."

Huo Yutong's cooking skills have become more and more advanced. Even if you look around the whole world, probably no one can surpass her.

However, the two little ones' attention was elsewhere.

"Wife?!"

Xie Xie and Gu Yue exclaimed at the same time.

Gu Yue's reaction was particularly intense. She approached Tang Wulin fiercely and asked in a tone that left no room for escape:

"you are married?"

"Haha, actually no."

Tang Wulin smiled gently.

"But it's probably just what happened during this period."

"..."

A terrifying light seemed to flash in Gu Yue's eyes for a moment.

But the next moment, her expression returned to calm, and she took two steps back, putting some distance between herself and Tang Wulin.

"I understand."

At this time, the kitchen door opened and Huo Yutong, wearing an apron, poked her head out.

"Wulin, is this Xie Xie and Gu Yue?"

"Ah."

After receiving a positive answer, Huo Yutong immediately showed a friendly smile and said to the two:

"Wait a moment, you two. The meal will be ready soon."

After saying that, he went back into the kitchen.

Xie Xie put his mouth close to Tang Wulin’s ear.

"Wulin, is this beautiful girl your match?"

Regardless of whether this young man is the real Tang Wulin or not, since he insists on calling himself that, let’s just call him that for now.

Tang Wulin nodded calmly. "Yes, she is my beloved fiancée."

"It's actually her..."

Xie Xie had an expression of disbelief.

His behavior actually aroused Tang Wulin's curiosity.

"Why, do you know her?"

"Well, it's better to say that she is considered a semi-celebrity in our college."

Xie Xie hesitated for a moment and said:

"Do you think she has been going to the school kitchen to cook a lot recently? She is so cute, so she will naturally attract a lot of attention."

Although there was a small kitchen in the room where Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong lived, it could not compare with the public kitchen in the school. Therefore, in order to appease Tang Wulin's emotions, Huo Yutong went to the public kitchen in the school to cook for the past two days.

Although Huo Yutong is actually 21 years old, she actually looks like she is only 15 or 16 years old at most, which is the age of youth. Coupled with her extremely cute looks, she directly attracted the attention of a large number of people from the senior class.

Just ask yourself, who doesn’t like a cute little cook who cooks delicious meals and is polite to others?

Therefore, in just a few days, Huo Yutong became famous in the academy, and she kept rising rapidly in the ranking of "most desired girls", and now she has entered the top three.

It is said that some seniors who are confident in their own qualifications have already begun to make moves and want to pursue her.

If Huo Yutong's origins were not mysterious and she didn't look like a student of this school, students wouldn't normally see her anywhere other than in the kitchen. Perhaps her popularity would be even higher, allowing her to top the list of "most desired girls".

After listening to Xie Xie's explanation, Tang Wulin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

“So this kind of thing actually happened.”

Seeing that he didn't care, Xie Xie was a little confused.

"Aren't you worried? There are so many people who care about her."

Tang Wulin shrugged, looking indifferent.

"Why should I worry? I like her and she likes me, isn't that enough?"

He has confidence in Huo Yutong, and he also has confidence in himself.

A bunch of little brats who aren't even Soul Sect members yet want to compete with him for Huo Yutong?

Ah.

At this time, the kitchen door was opened again, and Huo Yutong came out pushing a dining cart.

That’s right, the dining car.

Seeing the entire dining car filled with food, Xie Xie couldn't help but fall into a daze.

"This, so much?"

Tang Wulin chuckled.

"It's okay, just eat. I'll take care of the food you can't finish."

Xie Xie’s mouth twitched.

"I now really believe that you are Tang Wulin..."

Apart from Tang Wulin, he had never seen a foodie of this level.

Tang Wulin suddenly noticed that Gu Yue seemed to have stopped talking since Huo Yutong showed his face. He looked at Gu Yue and asked:

"Gu Yue, what's wrong?"

Gu Yue had a cold face and shook his head with numb eyes.

"No, it's nothing."

She looked at Huo Yutong's face and said lifelessly:
"I think before we eat, you should explain what happened to you."

For some reason, Tang Wulin heard a sense of doubt about life in her tone.

She always felt that the fact that his girlfriend was Huo Yutong had given her a great shock.

Could it be that she also knew Huo Yutong?

This was normal. According to Xie Xie, Huo Yutong was now famous in the academy. Even for a weirdo like Gu Yue, it was not surprising to hear about things related to her.

Tang Wulin suppressed the doubts in his heart, nodded and smiled.

"Well, let's talk about this while we eat."

Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong helped to serve the rice and handed the bowls and chopsticks to the two.

Then, during the meal, Tang Wulin told his two childhood playmates his own story after making various edits.

The time to explain to them will be obviously much shorter.

After all, they still didn't understand anything, and Tang Wulin didn't let them know too much about his plans. He just let them know the general course of events.

However, even so, Xie Xie was still shocked by him and couldn't close his mouth.

"You mean to say that you are already a Titled Douluo now?!"

Titled Douluo, this is the highest realm of soul masters. No matter where they are, the status of Titled Douluo is absolutely incomparably high.

"Yes, but I just broke through to the Title Douluo level. In this regard, Yu Tong is much better than me."

Tang Wulin said as he devoured the food on the table in big mouthfuls.

Gu Yue asked in a deep voice:

"So you're leaving now, right? Are you here to say goodbye to us?"

Xie Xie was startled when he heard her words, and Tang Wulin nodded slightly.

"Well, you are quite perceptive."

"this is nothing."

Gu Yue said lightly:
"Given your situation, it's impossible for you to continue studying in this academy, and you probably won't even stay in this small city any longer. It's only natural for me to come to this conclusion."

"That's true, but it's not easy for a nine-year-old girl to think so clearly. Gu Yue, you are really smart."

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. As soon as Tang Wulin said this, Gu Yue clenched her hands nervously.

Fortunately, Tang Wulin didn't seem to notice anything wrong, so she continued to ask calmly:

"Where are you going next?"

"Well... I want to go look for my parents. They are probably in the West Sea now."

"How are you going to get there?"

"Let's take the soul guide train. Yutong wants to give it a try."

"Which bus?"

Facing Gu Yue's relentless pursuit, Tang Wulin frowned.

"Why are you asking so much detail?"

"Nothing, just curious. If you don't want to tell me, you don't have to."

Gu Yue said without changing his expression.

Tang Wulin shrugged.

"It's nothing to tell you. We'll leave tomorrow morning and take the 8 a.m. train to Baiyun City."

"understood."

Gu Yue seemed to have gotten the answer he wanted. He nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Xie Xie asked reluctantly:
"Wulin, can we meet again later?"

“It’s hard to say whether we can meet, but if you work hard and get admitted to Shrek Academy, it may still be possible.”

"Are you going to Shrek Academy?"

"Well, after all, there is some connection between them from the era ten thousand years ago."

Xie Xie said somewhat disappointedly:
"That's it. I guess I won't see you again in this life."

Tang Wulin said helplessly:

“Don’t be so unconfident about yourself. After all, you are a person with twin martial spirits and full innate spirit power, and you also have the resources of Class Zero. If you work hard, I think you will have no problem entering Shrek Academy.”

"You know Class Zero?"

"of course."

Tang Wulin smiled proudly and said:

"After all, I asked the principal to set up this class. We are friends, so I should give you some benefits before I leave, right?"

Xie Xie suddenly realized.

"So that's it..."

Now the truth is revealed.

He explained why the principal suddenly stopped the upcoming competition between Class 1 and Class 5 and instead integrated the participants from both sides to form a new class.

After all this time, it turns out that he and Gu Yue really have someone behind them and relied on connections to get to the top.

So, those private discussions are really not wrong?
He suddenly felt like crying.

Seeing that Xie Xie seemed very depressed, Tang Wulin sighed and said seriously:
"Xie Xie."

"What, what's wrong?"

Xie Xie's body trembled subconsciously.

It was fine when Tang Wulin was playing with him just now, but now that Tang Wulin got serious, he suddenly felt the space around him solidify, making it hard for him to breathe and making him subconsciously nervous.

Tang Wulin has been the head of the Sea God Pavilion for several years. Although he himself is not aware of it, he actually has some of the temperament of a superior. Once he gets serious, he will give people a strong sense of oppression.

Coupled with his bloodline that had begun to evolve towards the level of a dragon god, Xie Xie felt that the person sitting in front of him was no longer Tang Wulin, but an emperor who stood tall and proud.

Tang Wulin said earnestly:

"I know that you are in a period where your self-esteem is very strong. It is a good thing to have self-esteem at any time, but you can't miss out on the truly important things because of it."

"So what if others laugh at you? Let them say whatever they want. They are just jealous of you. If you ruin your career because of what they say, then you have truly fallen into their trap."

"If you really hate them, you should take advantage of the resources of Class Zero to practice hard, make a big splash, and become someone they can't reach and need to look up to. This is the best revenge on them."

"Besides, in this world, strength is the most important thing. I am not asking you to do evil things in order to improve your strength, but if you don't have strength, once an accident happens, you won't be able to protect the people you cherish. That feeling is really painful. I don't want you to experience it."

"..."

Xie Xie was speechless for a moment.

What Tang Wulin said was actually pretty much the same as what Gu Yue had said before, both of which were telling him not to care about those rumors and to focus on improving himself.

But unlike Gu Yue, what Tang Wulin said was not only much more detailed, but also much more emotional, making it impossible for him to refute.

Finally he could only say weakly:
"I understand……"

Seeing that he was thinking, Tang Wulin smiled helplessly and returned to his normal expression.

No matter what, he had said everything he needed to say. As for whether Xie Xie could listen to him or not, that was Xie Xie's business.

After all, he and Xie Xie were just childhood playmates. If Xie Xie still couldn't figure it out, then there was nothing he could do.

After that, they spent several hours together chatting and laughing before adjourning. As the dormitory door was locked, Tang Wulin and Huo Yutong escorted them in separately.

Late at night, a figure flew out from the window of Gu Yue's dormitory.

Soon, she landed in an empty space, took out her soul communicator, and dialed the number on it.

"Hello, Di Tian? I have a task for you..."

The night was dark and the moon was hidden behind dark clouds.

The girl's cold voice seemed to be telling of the tremendous changes that would take place on Douluo Continent next.
