Douluo Continent: I, Tang Wulin, a Kamen Rider

Chapter 116 It's a promise, a three-person team!
That's right, although some onlookers still want to see the love-hate relationship between the female students of Shrek Academy and this male student from the small city.

But the news of Shrek Academy's defeat, which was considered invincible and high above them, was even more astonishing to them!
After all, the one who was defeated this time came from Shrek Academy, which is known as the cradle of monsters, an undefeated legend, and the representative of being invincible among its peers!

He actually lost a one-on-one match against a girl from a small city who was in the same grade!

Moreover, it seems that the proud girl from Shrek Academy fell in love with a boy from their small city during this battle!

This match was absolutely thrilling!
These tickets were definitely worth buying!

Looking at the boisterous crowd around her, chanting the names of Gu Yue and the others, Ye Xinglan felt a surge of indignation, but it quickly dissipated.

Because if this defeat had happened to her in the past, she would definitely have cared about it a lot.

After all, her status as a disciple of Shrek Academy was her proudest achievement, so she couldn't tolerate any failure!
But now she has a treasure that she cares about more than her status as a Shrek disciple, and everything else!
Thinking of this, Ye Xinglan unconsciously turned around and glanced at Tang Wulin, who was being cheered for in the arena.

"Hmph, I, Ye Xinglan, clearly knew him first. Just you wait and see!"

And here.

Looking at Tang Wulin, Gu Yue, and Xu Xiaoyan under the spotlight, being praised and amazed by everyone.

Xie Xie, standing on the viewing platform, wore an extremely complex expression.

He was the one who arrived first.
He was the one who met Tang Wulin first.
It was clearly a three-person team consisting of him, Tang Wulin, and Gu Yue.
Even just yesterday, he fought alongside Gu Yue and Tang Wulin.

but now
"Why were I excluded from the three-person team?!"

Xie Xie scratched his head in frustration, then looked at Wu Changkong, who was also watching the battle from the side.

"Teacher Wu, why are you just standing there? Have you really forgotten that I was the first one here?! Aren't you going to do anything about it?!"

As for Xie Xie's outburst, Wu Changkong simply said indifferently.

"Gu Yue and Tang Wulin have a combined sword technique, do you have that?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Xie was immediately taken aback, and then his face flushed red as he spoke.

"I do not have."

Seeing this, Wu Changkong continued calmly.

"Xu Xiaoyan and Tang Wulin have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, do you have one?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Xie's face flushed even more, and he said with a frustrated expression.

"No."

Wu Changkong continued to deliver the final blow.

"Gu Yue can easily win in a one-on-one fight against the monsters from Shrek Academy using only her own strength. Can you do that?"

After recalling Ye Xinglan's swordsmanship, Xie Xie fell silent.

After a long pause, having gone through the simulated battle in his mind's eye, Xie Xie said with a frustrated expression once again.

"I can not."

Seeing this, Wu Changkong glanced at him and continued speaking.

"Although Xu Xiaoyan only has one ring now, she can assist Tang Wulin from the side, and even after the martial soul is fused, she can strongly control anyone. Can you do that?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Xie fell completely silent. After a long while, he finally spoke, reluctantly.

"No."

Seeing this, Wu Changkong said calmly, "No, still no, no, still no."

"Then tell me, besides knowing Tang Wulin first, what other advantages do you have over Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan?"

Hearing Wu Changkong's blunt words, Xie Xie immediately fell into a state of self-isolation.

At this moment, Tang Wulin returned here with Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan.

Seeing Xie Xie squatting on the ground, drawing circles with a disappointed look on his face, Tang Wulin couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder out of curiosity.

"Xie Xie, what are you doing squatting on the ground like that?"

Xie Xie slapped Tang Wulin's arm away and said stubbornly.

"Don't touch me! I'm not your teammate! I'm not part of your three-person squad!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin immediately understood why Xie Xie was angry and chuckled.

"Oh, well, that's just the commentator making things up based on the lineup for this match."

"Don't worry, you'll always be a member of our three-person team."

Upon hearing this, Xie Xie's ears twitched slightly, and then he asked in a low voice.

"you sure?"

Seeing this, Tang Wulin nodded seriously.

"I'm sure, Xie Xie, didn't we make a promise?"

"The three of us will always trust and help each other, and remain the best of partners. This will become our own unique story, won't it?"

Seeing how sincere Tang Wulin was, Xie Xie felt as if Tang Wulin's figure was radiating some kind of saintly halo, looking at him.

Gu Yue, standing to the side, didn't say much, but simply watched everything calmly.

But at this moment, Xu Xiaoyan, who was beside Tang Wulin, objected, saying that she had arrived late and missed the opportunity.

But now, Xu Xiaoyan is Tang Wulin's destined female friend!

Seeing this, she grabbed Tang Wulin's shoulder and coughed lightly.

"Wu Lin, what about me? Aren't I your friend?"

Tang Wulin slapped his forehead and quickly apologized, "Oh, sorry, Xiao Yan, I almost forgot about you. Of course, you are also my best friend."

"So, since there are four of us, perhaps we should now be called the East Sea F4?"

Tang Wulin pondered for a moment before saying the name of the new team.

"Hehe, sure, but I still prefer the original three-person team. Anyway, in your novels, there's always a fifth person among the Four Heavenly Kings."

Xu Xiaoyan blinked and teased with a mischievous grin.

"So, it's quite normal for a three-person team to have a fourth person, right?"

Upon seeing this, Tang Wulin was also taken aback, and then smiled tactfully.

“You’re right. In a three-person team, having a fourth person doesn’t seem to be a problem.”

"Then, let's make one more promise for the formation of the new three-person team!"

As he spoke, Tang Wulin summoned the Flame Sword and extended it towards Xu Xiaoyan.

Seeing that Tang Wulin had adopted her suggestion, Xu Xiaoyan was overjoyed and summoned her ice staff, then placed it on the ice.

Seeing this, Tang Wulin looked at Xie Xie who was standing to the side.

"So, Xie Xie, what do you mean?"

Seeing this, Xie Xie wiped his slightly moist eyes and then revealed a healthy smile.

"Of course, Wu Lin!"

"Ding!"

Xie Xie then placed his own Light Dragon Dagger on the spot.

Finally, the three of them looked at Gu Yue, as if to ask, "What do you think?"

Seeing this, Gu Yue silently stepped forward, but she did not choose to draw her weapon.

Instead, he grabbed Tang Wulin's other hand that wasn't holding the sword and placed it on his arm.

Seeing the three people's surprised expressions, Gu Yue simply said...

"Don't you guys think my martial soul is also a weapon martial soul?" Seeing this, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie understood. All three of them had weapon martial souls, so they could do that.

But Gu Yue's elementalist is not some kind of weapon spirit.

Seeing this, Xu Xiaoyan appeared to understand on the surface, but in her heart she was cursing Gu Yue for cheating!

He was wielding Wu Lin's Ice Soul Sword with the air of a mistress when he was fighting with that wicked woman Ye Xinglan!
How come you're empty-handed now?
He actually thought he could force himself to take the lead over her by relying on the characteristics of his martial soul?
How could Xu Xiaoyan possibly tolerate this?

Seeing this, Xu Xiaoyan's eyes darted around, and then she pretended to have insufficient soul power and dissipated her martial soul ice staff.

"Ouch, I lost all my soul power from fighting that fat guy."

As she spoke, Xu Xiaoyan imitated Gu Yue, stretching out her little hand and placing it under Tang Wulin's hand.

Tang Wulin, upon seeing this, felt that this seemed somewhat inappropriate.

But considering the reasons behind Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan's martial souls, I didn't think much of it.

Seeing this, Gu Yue's eyes turned slightly cold.

Xu Xiaoyan looked at Gu Yue with a smile.

"Sister Gu Yue, you won't blame me for not trying hard enough just now, will you?"

Seeing Tang Wulin's concerned expression towards Xu Xiaoyan, Gu Yue took a deep breath and then said calmly.

"No, even with Wu Lin's help, it's already quite impressive that you were able to defeat that fat guy who was a second-ring cultivator while only having one ring."

Clearly, Gu Yue's words implied that without Tang Wulin's help, Xu Xiaoyan, a first-level cultivator, would have no chance against that second-level fat man.

But Xu Xiaoyan seemed not to understand, and instead smiled as she looked at Tang Wulin.

"That's right, Sister Gu Yue is right. Luckily, Wu Lin helped me, otherwise I would have been in real trouble."

At this point, Xu Xiaoyan paused for a moment, then held Tang Wulin's hand tightly with her palm facing up, and said gently.

"Thank you, Wu Lin."

Tang Wulin smiled upon seeing this.

"It's alright. Protecting my companions is what I should do. I believe that if Gu Yue had been available at the time, she would have done the same as me."

As he spoke, Tang Wulin looked at Gu Yue with anticipation.

Seeing this, Gu Yue felt a chill run down her spine.

Help Xu Xiaoyan?

The fact that she didn't retaliate against Xu Xiaoyan with a Fiery Whirlwind attack from behind is already a favor to Tang Wulin!

But seeing Tang Wulin's expectant look, Gu Yue sighed inwardly.

Because she knew Tang Wulin's gentle and kind nature all too well—his tendency to protect his companions and even strangers.

Seeing this, Gu Yue pretended nothing had happened and said calmly.

"Yes, Wu Lin is right. If I have time, I will also take action."

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin's expectant expression instantly transformed into a gentle smile and a look of satisfaction.

"Yes, it's a promise. The three of us will help each other, trust each other, and always fight side by side to become the best three-person team!"

Seeing this, Xu Xiaoyan also revealed a "I've successfully overtaken you" expression and happily shouted to Tang Wulin.

"Yes, it's a date, Wu Lin!"

As she spoke, Xu Xiaoyan turned her palm upward and then tightly locked Tang Wulin's palm.

Even her fingertips touched Gu Yue's fingers.

Seeing this, Gu Yue's eyes instantly turned cold, but Tang Wulin looked happy at the moment.

She didn't say much, but silently clenched her fist and firmly grasped Tang Wulin's hand below.

"Yes, it's a date, Wu Lin."

At this point, Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan's small hands separated Tang Wulin's palm in two, firmly trapping it between them.

Tang Wulin, who was being fought over, didn't seem to find anything unusual about it.

He just felt that Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan were just as excited as he was right now.

Meanwhile, Xie Xie was holding his Dark Dragon Dagger, excitedly pressing it against the Flame Sword.

"That's right, it's a promise, Wu Lin, we'll always be the best trio!"

At this moment, the relationship between the four of them has undoubtedly taken a step further than before.

Of course, Xie Xie was the happiest of them all.

He could clearly sense just how powerful Tang Wulin and the others' talents were.

Those are disciples of Shrek Academy!

They actually won!

Even so, Tang Wulin's heart remained warm.

Xie Xie remains Tang Wulin's friend and a member of the three-person team!
However, soon, seeing Tang Wulin sandwiched between the two women, Xie Xie from Juwairen suddenly realized that something was wrong.

No, there are definitely four of them!

Then why a three-person team?
Isn't Xie Xie human?!
Even if you're just making a meme, you shouldn't do it at this important time!
Moreover, even if we follow the content of Tang Wulin's novel, the joke is that a three-person team usually consists of four people.

but.
Why was he the only one who didn't hold Tang Wulin's hand?
Is it just because Xie Xie is a man?

I'm so angry and cold. When will this world achieve gender equality?
Why can't Xie Xie hold Tang Wulin's hand?
Didn't we agree that we'd all be partners who help each other?
Thinking of this, Xie Xie threw the two daggers in his hand aside and said, "Wu Lin, I want one too."

As soon as he spoke, Xie Xie suddenly felt two inexplicable malice surging around him.

Upon closer inspection, he saw Gu Yue staring at him with a cold expression.

Even Xu Xiaoyan, who was standing next to him, glared at him with a dissatisfied look on her face, as if to say something.

It's like saying, "If you dare come any closer, you're dead!"

Upon seeing this, Xie Xie immediately realized that while they were indeed partners, these two had even bigger ambitions than being Tang Wulin's partners!
And Xie Xie actually overestimated himself and wanted to join them?

What else could this be but courting death?
Tang Wulin looked at Xie Xie, who was about to speak but was now standing there blankly with a constipated expression, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

"Xie Xie, what's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything? What did you want again?"

Over here, seeing Tang Wulin's somewhat puzzled gaze and Gu Yue, Xu Xiaoyan's face gradually revealed murderous intent.

At this moment, Xie Xie's mind displayed a sharpness he had never shown before.

Super Intelligence Activated!

"Ahem, it's nothing, Wu Lin. I was just saying that I figured you guys must be hungry since you just finished a match."

"So to celebrate your victory today, I'm treating you to a welcome-back feast!"

"Let's go have a big meal, the three of us, no, the four of us!"

"Hey, by the way, I know a restaurant called Tie Niu Beef Noodles! I'll call and make a reservation right now!"

After saying that, Xie Xie immediately turned and ran away.

Just kidding, if he stayed any longer, he was afraid he would be turned to dust by the glares from Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan!

Watching Xie Xie's hasty retreat, Tang Wulin chuckled and said to the two women.

"Let's go. Xie Xie is right, I am indeed a little hungry."

Upon seeing this, the two women nodded, then exchanged a glance, and streaks of lightning burst forth from the void.
