Douluo Continent: I, Tang Wulin, a Kamen Rider

Chapter 192 Yun Ming Issues a Challenge to You
The newcomer was tall and upright, with broad shoulders that gave him a sense of composure and reliability.

His face was sharply defined, like a sculpture, with strong lines and a masculine air.

He wore a long black robe that fluttered in the wind, seemingly carrying an invisible aura that made people feel his power and charisma.

Beside him was a stunningly beautiful woman with exquisite and captivating features, her skin as smooth and delicate as mutton fat jade, radiating a subtle glow.

Her long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, exuding a faint fragrance as it was gently swayed in the breeze.

She was tall and elegant, and her every move exuded a unique and sacred aura, possessing both feminine grace and an inexplicable compassion.

Behind the two of them were several other figures, all of whom were old acquaintances of Tang Wulin.

For example, Feng Wuyu and Zhu Shi, who are known as the "Shrek Twin Dragons", and Wu Changkong, who is known as the "Little Changkong of the East Sea".

Meanwhile, looking at the young man in front of them who had definitely defeated a god, they sensed the unmistakable aura of a Soul Master emanating from him.

Even Yun Ming, who was known as the "Number One Fighting Force on the Continent," couldn't help but waver at this moment, but in the end he still asked with a serious expression.

"I'd also like to know what your choice is."

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin looked at Wu Changkong, who was standing at the end.

Seeing this, Wu Changkong knew Tang Wulin's doubts, so he spoke up to explain.

"Wu Lin, this is our current dean of Shrek Academy, the Sky-Supporting Douluo Yun Ming! And his wife, the Holy Spirit Douluo Ya Li."

"Therefore, Principal Yunming's words represent Shrek Academy's intentions. You may speak your mind freely, and Shrek Academy will certainly respect your wishes."

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin looked at Zhenhua beside him, and Zhenhua nodded, confirming the truthfulness of Wu Changkong's words.

Seeing this, Tang Wulin turned to look at his companions.

Xu Xiaoyan, Ye Xinglan, and the others looked at him with trust, as if to say, "Whether you stay or leave is up to you."

Seeing this, Tang Wulin pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked.

"Principal Yunming, how much do you know about the Golden Tree at your Shrek Academy?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Ming seemed slightly taken aback, as if he hadn't expected Tang Wulin to bring this up at this moment.

But considering the sudden riot at the Sea God Pavilion last night, and now that Tang Yin'er is no longer by Tang Wulin's side, he felt relieved.

"I don't know much about this either. Although I am the principal, I am primarily a forceful person."

"So you can find the specific details about the Golden Tree yourself in the inner library of Shrek Academy. I will grant you the right to enter there at any time."

"However, I can tell you about the secret of the Golden Tree that the deans of Shrek Academy have known throughout history."

"For example, the Golden Tree, after being worshipped by generations of Shrek Academy, has actually developed consciousness, which is what is known as the Tree Spirit."

"We call him Elder Jin, but that's just what we call the tree spirit. We don't know his real name or even his real appearance."

"Because even I, and even my predecessor and the one before me, have never seen the Golden Tree Spirit in person."

At this point, Yun Ming paused, then looked at Tang Wulin with a slightly strange tone and continued.

"Strangely enough, the Golden Tree, which had always been peaceful and sat calmly in Shrek Academy like a pillar of stability, suddenly started to show some abnormalities a few years ago."

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked.

What is the anomaly?

In response to Tang Wulin's question, Yun Ming did not speak this time, but instead looked at Ya Li beside him.

Yali nodded upon seeing this, then parted her lips slightly: "A few years ago, the golden tree, which should have been the same as usual, suddenly began to shine brightly."

"Then your teacher, Tang Yin'er, appeared out of thin air before our eyes."

"And her aura and martial spirit are not only exactly the same as the Golden Tree's, but she also seems to know us very well, as if she has watched us grow up, and she can answer all our questions."

"After that, she followed me and learned to become a teacher at Shrek Academy until you appeared on Seagod Island, at which point she officially became the homeroom teacher of your class."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan, Xie Xie, and the others behind Tang Wulin were also immediately startled.

"What?! Sister Yin'er, she's actually the spirit of the Golden Tree!"

"No wonder Sister Yin'er's martial soul is so similar to the Golden Tree."

For a moment, Xu Xiaoyan, Ye Xinglan, Wu Siduo and the others were completely bewildered.

Because to them, Tang Yin'er's previous identity was always Tang Wulin's older sister, and also their future eldest sister.

But now, how did the perfectly good older sister turn into a tree?!
However, the group quickly realized what was happening and immediately looked at Tang Wulin standing to the side.

Since they were all so shocked, one can only imagine the turmoil in Tang Wulin's heart.

However, to their surprise, Tang Wulin was not too excited at this moment, but instead showed a relieved expression.

Yes, Tang Wulin wasn't stupid. He had long ago made guesses about the identities of Tang Yin'er and even Na'er, the two women who had left his side when he was a child.

As for Na'er, her speculation has hit a bottleneck because they haven't met again yet.

But Tang Yin'er, he truly saw her emerge from the golden tree on Seagod Island.

Adding to his memories of the past and the spirit fusion skill from last night, he had already guessed most of Tang Yin'er's identity, and was just one step away from confirming it.

Now, with the official confirmation from Yun Ming and Ya Li, two true high-ranking members of Shrek Academy, he has confirmed his conjecture.

Meanwhile, seeing Tang Wulin's slightly shifting expression, Yun Ming spoke again.

“Last night, the Golden Tree generated extremely powerful fluctuations again. Of course, I think you should have sensed them as well, since that golden road that spans the continent should be quite conspicuous.”

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin nodded and said, "Sister Yin'er was indeed absorbed by that golden light."

Seeing this, Feng Wuyu grinned and patted Tang Wulin on the shoulder.

"Sure enough, I knew the moment I saw you that you were born to be a member of Shrek Academy."

"Don't worry, the Golden Tree is the pillar of Shrek Academy, and it has stood firm for tens of thousands of years."

"And your sister returned to her original form last night, so it can't be anything bad."

"And since you are a talent valued by your sister, you are naturally a direct descendant of our Shrek Academy."

"From now on, Shrek Academy will nurture you as a prodigy, and your companions will also enjoy the highest level of treatment."

Zhu Shi, standing behind him, echoed his agreement.

"Yes, Wu Lin, all you need to do is come back to the academy with us and wait quietly for your sister to reappear."

"Until then, Shrek Academy will protect you until you truly become a god."

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin remained silent for a moment, but thinking of his past memories with Tang Yin'er, he agreed. Seeing this, the Shrek Academy executives also secretly felt a surge of excitement.

Tang Wulin agreed, which meant that Shrek Academy was about to enjoy glory for another ten thousand years!

After all, Tang Wulin is a monster genius who can defy the gods even at the Soul Master level!

With someone like that around, imagine how glorious Shrek Academy's future will be once he truly rises to prominence!
Just as everyone was feeling relieved and happy, Yun Ming suddenly stepped forward, his eyes shining like two bolts of lightning directly at Tang Wulin.

"In that case, regarding the Dark Blood Demon's sudden ascension to godhood last night, I have another question and a favor to ask. Would you be willing to answer and accept it?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan, and the others who were standing next to Tang Wulin also changed their expressions.

Because they remembered that last night, the Dark Blood Demon stole Tang Wulin's storybook and eventually became a god.

Could it be that the person in front of me is Yun Ming, the former number one person on the continent, the strongest quasi-god of level ninety-nine, the Sky-Supporting Douluo?

Now, in order to become a god, they're trying to steal Tang Wulin's storybook too!
Realizing this, the crowd immediately stepped in front of Tang Wulin.

So what about Yun Ming?
So what if he's Dean Shrek?

They want to steal Tang Wulin's things?

Let's step over their corpses first!

In an instant, the happy atmosphere suddenly turned tense and urgent.

Even Feng Wuyu and Zhu Shi were stunned for a moment, but after glancing at Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan and the others standing in front of Tang Wulin, they realized that...

Without further hesitation, they stood directly in front of Yun Ming, demonstrating their support for him through their actions.

Yes, they were certainly happy that a genius like Tang Wulin, who was destined to become a god in the future, could stay at Shrek Academy.

On the contrary, if this god-turner could be their elder brother Yun Ming, they would be even happier!
Anyway, they had already confirmed it from the body cameras carried by those Heavenly Dou City warriors.

That is, Tang Wulin's martial soul was stolen by the Dark Blood Demon!

This means that Tang Wulin's martial soul can be used by others!
What's the difference between letting Tang Wulin use it and letting Yun Ming use it?
Aren't they all Shrek?

Besides, Tang Wulin has several storybooks, so isn't it normal for him to take out one or two for these Shrek Academy executives to browse through?

Meanwhile, as the two sides faced off, the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

Zhenhua had been standing silently behind Tang Wulin without anyone noticing.

Wu Changkong also silently followed beside his master, Zhu Shi.

Seeing this, Yali wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't speak. She just gently stepped forward and took Yunming's hand.

In response, Tang Wulin, who was the focus of everyone's attention, calmly pushed away Xie Xie, who was protecting him, and then stood in front of everyone, facing Yun Ming and the others.

"Sky-Supporting Douluo, please speak."

Upon hearing this, Yun Ming suddenly clapped his hands a few times, his imposing aura gradually dissipating, and then revealed a smile.

"Excellent, excellent, excellent! As expected of a genius who defeated a god with the body of a mortal. Truly, heroes emerge from among the young."

"But don't worry, I'm not like the Dark Blood Demon. I, Yun Ming, would never stoop to stealing a child's things."

"I just want to ask, why was the Dark Blood Demon able to break through the level 99 bottleneck back then? Did he make contact with the God Realm?"

"Or is it really just because he came across your book that he broke through?"

As he spoke, Yun Ming looked at Tang Wulin with a serious expression.

Tang Wulin paused for a moment, carefully choosing his words before finally speaking, "It is indeed because of my book."

But before Yun Ming and the others could say anything more, Tang Wulin spoke up to explain.

"Of course, it's true that it's because of my book."

"But strictly speaking, it was because he obtained the Blood Demon God storybook that was very suitable for him that he was able to break through the bottleneck."

Upon hearing this, Yun Ming was slightly taken aback, but being a smart man, he quickly understood what Tang Wulin meant.

"You mean, the Dark Blood Demon was able to become a god not just because he obtained your book."

"It's because when he got the book, it was also a perfect fit for him, that's what you mean, right?"

After taking a moment to think, Yun Ming asked again.

Seeing that Yun Ming understood the lie he had just made up, Tang Wulin nodded.

"Yes, Teacher Wu has already told you about the effects, uses, and limitations of my martial spirit."

"The Blood Demon God Storybook was born in my extreme anger, and its birth is inextricably linked to the Dark Blood Demon."

"Because when I was writing this storybook, in a state of out of control, all I wanted to do was write a story that could completely crush the Dark Blood Demon in the Blood Path and kill him completely."

"After all, as someone who has experienced it firsthand, you should know just how resilient the Dark Blood Demon is."

Upon hearing this, Yun Ming nodded in agreement.

Indeed, before becoming a god, the Dark Blood Demon was just a dog on the roadside to him, someone he could beat however he wanted.

However, this thing's ability to survive is just too strong!
So much so that he once personally took action, chasing the Dark Blood Demon for three days and three nights, but still couldn't kill him.

Therefore, Yun Ming could completely understand what Tang Wulin was saying.

And it was because of this that Yun Ming roughly understood what Tang Wulin meant.

However, since it concerned his own path to godhood, he cautiously inquired again.

"So, the Dark Blood Demon was able to become a god because the storybook of the Hell Blood Demon God that you wrote was an advanced version of a god based on him, which is why he was able to become one?"

Seeing that Yun Ming had almost truly believed his words, Tang Wulin nodded.

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Yun Ming suppressed some of his inner thoughts and then casually replied.

"In that case, I understand. I have one last request left, and I hope you can grant it."

"You said."

Upon hearing Tang Wulin's words, Yun Ming also revealed a smile.

"Fight me!"
