Legend of the Dragon King: I really didn't mean to provoke them!

Liu Yuxin had already run some distance when she turned back to wave at the two of them, smiling brightly: "Of course it's true, bye-bye!"

Xie Xie, seeing a soul-guided camera for the first time, was very interested. He snatched the camera from Tang Wulin's hand and fiddled with it, asking, "Hey, how do you use this thing?"

Xie Xie frowned, his fingertips randomly poking at the camera screen.

A moment later, he gestured with his chin toward Tang Wulin: "Tang Wulin, come and take a look. I've been trying to figure this out for ages, but I still can't understand it. Could this soul-guided camera be broken?"

Tang Wulin had no doubts. Upon hearing this, he immediately moved closer, lowered his head slightly, stared at the camera, and carefully studied the buttons on it.

"Let me see... I think it should be pressed here?"

Just as Tang Wulin approached, Xie Xie wrapped his arm around him and pulled him close, while quickly pressing the shutter button with his other hand.

"Snap—"

A crisp sound rang out, and a group photo full of youthful energy was captured.

Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and looked helplessly at Xie Xie: "Xie Xie, you..."

Xie Xie proudly waved his camera, a sly and boastful smile on his face: "That's called outsmarting him, baby~"

Upon hearing the word "baby," Tang Wulin's cheeks flushed instantly. He subconsciously overreacted and dared not look at Xie Xie again.

Seeing the light pink tinge on Tang Wulin's ear tips, Xie Xie's smile grew even more mischievous. He deliberately moved closer, his warm breath almost brushing against Tang Wulin's cheek.

"Oh dear, is someone shy? Shy just for taking a picture?"

Tang Wulin hurriedly shrank back, unsure of what to do with his hands, and stammered, "Who...who's shy! Give me the camera quickly, what if you break it..."

He reached out to grab it, but Xie Xie nimbly dodged backward.

Xie Xie held up his camera, flipping through the photos he had just taken, and clicked his tongue twice: "I'll pay for them if you mess them up. They're really good-looking, the two of us are absolutely gorgeous!"

As Tang Wulin listened to his serious words, his heart beat even faster for no reason. He could only turn his face away and pretend to look at the scenery, but his ears turned even redder and he didn't dare to say another word.

Chapter 5 Battle? Unexpected Changes Abound!

Xie Xie chose Donghai Park as the location for the battle.

Guided by his memory, Xie Xie arrived at a clearing in the woods deep within the park. He looked around and nodded in satisfaction: "This is fine."

Tang Wulin also stopped and stood opposite Xie Xie.

Just as the fight was about to begin, Xie Xie suddenly got stuck.

Martial Soul... how do you summon it again?

After a moment's thought, he spread his hands and tentatively uttered a low shout: "Martial Soul Possession?"

The next second, two daggers, one gold and one silver, appeared in his palm. They were the Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger that Xie Xie had seen in his dream yesterday.

The moment the Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger appeared, Tang Wulin instantly tensed up and went into a state of alert. However—

"Holy crap, he's so handsome!!"

Xie Xie showed no intention of making a move, only playing with the two daggers with obvious delight, his eyes practically sparkling with starlight.

Tang Wulin didn't urge him, but stood there patiently waiting.

After playing with it for a while, Xie Xie inadvertently glanced at Tang Wulin standing next to him and suddenly remembered why he had invited him here.

He quickly composed himself, adopting a serious posture, and with a flick of his wrists, the Light Dragon Dagger and Shadow Dragon Dagger twirled beautifully between his fingertips.

"Ahem, um, Tang Wulin, come on!"

Tang Wulin nodded, and the Blue Silver Grass quietly spread from his palm, its leaves glowing faintly.

Xie Xie took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and slowly guided the soul power in his body to gather at his feet.

The moment Xie Xie opened his eyes again, he shot out, leaving a trail of golden Mach rings behind him, and the yellow hundred-year soul ring was already pulsating beneath his feet.

Tang Wulin was taken aback when he saw the yellow spirit ring.

However, Tang Wulin quickly realized what was happening, and thin, vine-like Blue Silver Grasses swarmed out.

Faced with the overwhelming Blue Silver Grass covering him, Xie Xie used his muscle memory to weave through the gaps between the blades of grass, constantly closing in on Tang Wulin.

After realizing that his resistance was ineffective, Tang Wulin quickly gathered the Blue Silver Grass, causing the thin vines to converge in front of him.

But in the blink of an eye, Xie Xie had already closed in.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xie Xie thrust the blade of the Light Dragon Dagger toward Tang Wulin's shoulder.

Seeing that the dagger was less than ten centimeters away from his shoulder, Tang Wulin's Blue Silver Grass suddenly shot out from his palm, like a green snake, and accurately wrapped around Xie Xie's arm holding the knife.

The flexible yet resilient grass stems intertwine and tighten layer by layer.

Xie Xie felt his arm tighten, the force instantly locked, his wrist and arm unable to move, and the dagger could no longer be pushed forward even an inch.

"I still have one hand!"

As he spoke, Xie Xie slashed down with his right hand, which held the Shadow Dragon Dagger.

"What a coincidence," Tang Wulin said with a smile. "I also have one hand."

Because his left arm was entangled by the Blue Silver Grass, Xie Xie's movement was completely blocked, causing this agility-type battle spirit master to lose his greatest advantage. Tang Wulin's Blue Silver Grass easily entangled Xie Xie's right hand holding the Shadow Dragon Dagger once again.

Normally, it would be impossible for Blue Silver Grass to entangle Xie Xie.

Because normal Blue Silver Grass is very fragile, Xie Xie only needs to tug it slightly or run a blade across it to break it easily.

Unfortunately, Tang Wulin was entangled with his own mother.

Noticing the faint golden light emanating from the veins of the Blue Silver Grass, Xie Xie knew that the Golden Dragon King had unleashed his power.

Xie Xie was so angry he laughed.

Damn it!

Golden Dragon King, you bastard (Douluo Continent profanity), couldn't you just obediently self-destruct? Why did you have to leave the Golden Dragon King Divine Core and all your essence blood to that blue-haired middle-parted monster!

Now look what's happened! It indirectly caused my partner to fall in love with my enemy's son!!

Damn it, couldn't it have been a little longer to go in?!

Xie Xie was furious, his hands already straining with all his might. But no matter how strong he was, could he be stronger than the Golden Dragon King? The Golden Dragon King could crush him with just a fingernail.

Just then, a strange scene unfolded.

The Light Dragon Dagger shimmered with light, and even a faint dragon's roar could be heard.

The gentle yet irresistible golden light suddenly surged, and the dagger extended on its own at that moment, its length suddenly increasing.

Xie Xie didn't even have time to react; his arm, which was locked by the Blue Silver Grass, didn't move an inch.

But the blade, aided by the power of the dragon's light, gently pierced Tang Wulin's shoulder.

A tiny drop of blood seeped out instantly.

This time, not only Tang Wulin was stunned, but Xie Xie himself was also stunned.

Before Xie Xie could figure out what was going on with his martial soul, a feeling of palpitation suddenly spread throughout his body.

As Tang Wulin's shoulder was pierced by the Light Dragon Dagger, beams of golden light spilled out from the window, surging and trying to push the Light Dragon Dagger out.

However, at this moment, the Light Dragon Dagger seemed to have been provoked.

The golden light on the Light Dragon Dagger surged, and a deep dragon roar reverberated from the blade.

The dagger, which had only pierced shallowly, seemed to come alive, trembled slightly, and became firmly locked in Tang Wulin's shoulder.

The more violent the golden light surging from Tang Wulin's body became, and the more it tried to push it out, the more intense the light of the Light Dragon Dagger became, like a young dragon that had been thoroughly enraged, biting its prey tightly and refusing to let go.

Xie Xie felt a warm force surge into his arm along the hilt of the dagger, and he himself could not control the state of the dagger at this moment.

Instead of being pushed out, the Light Dragon Dagger took root firmly in the wound thanks to the opposing golden light.

Golden light collided and intertwined wildly at Tang Wulin's shoulder, forming a dazzling ring of light.

Xie Xie stared in disbelief, "Holy crap, what the hell?!"

Looking again at Tang Wulin, whose eyes were tightly closed, it was clear that he had activated the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, but this...

Could something really have happened to this dad?!

Once the thought crossed his mind, Xie Xie disregarded everything else. He pushed off the ground with both legs and gripped the hilt of his sword, pulling back with all his might, wanting nothing more than to pull the Light Dragon Dagger out of Tang Wulin's shoulder.

"Come out! Come out now!"

"If that old schemer Tang San wakes up later, we're both doomed!"

Suddenly, as if it had truly understood his frantic words, the golden light on the Light Dragon Dagger trembled slightly, and the dragon's roar became much gentler.

The next moment, the dagger retracted slightly and obediently withdrew from Tang Wulin's shoulder.

The brilliance of the Light Dragon Dagger had subsided, and it no longer possessed any of its previous arrogance.

Before Xie Xie could even savor the joy of drawing the Light Dragon Dagger, Tang Wulin suddenly let out a roar that shook the entire area:

"Roar--!"

Fortunately, Xie Xie covered his ears in time at the critical moment, which saved his eardrums.

Immediately afterwards, a golden light, carrying an incredibly terrifying force, hurtled towards him.

In the nick of time, his body reacted faster than Xie Xie's mind, instinctively crouching down and covering his head.

The violent airflow barely grazed his scalp, instantly whipping the hair on his forehead, and a biting gust of wind made his scalp tingle.

After a moment, the violent air currents gradually dissipated, and the surroundings returned to deathly silence. Xie Xie stiffly and slowly straightened up.

When Xie Xie turned around and looked back, he was completely dumbfounded.

Behind him, a sturdy tree had already been blasted by the aftershocks, its bark cracked, its branches broken, and broken leaves and twigs scattered all over the ground.

Xie Xie's heart pounded wildly.

Holy crap, what if that punch landed on me...?

Even if it's just a piece here and a piece there, it's still considered good!

Directly in front, Tang Wulin lay on the ground, pale-faced, his eyes closed, unconscious. The wound on his shoulder still faintly emitted a lingering golden light.

Xie Xie slowly moved over, picked up a small twig from the ground, and poked Tang Wulin's face.

Hmm, no reaction, she must be dizzy.

Xie Xie breathed a sigh of relief, but then remembered how he had almost been scared to death by that golden light. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He lightly kicked Tang Wulin to vent his anger.

"Damn it! Not a single member of the Tang family is easy to deal with!"

But as soon as his foot touched someone, Xie Xie suddenly felt a tightness in his ankle.

Xie Xie froze on the spot, his hair standing on end.

He looked down and saw that Tang Wulin's eyes were still closed and his face was pale. He was not awake at all, but his hand seemed to be reacting instinctively.

"Holy crap—it's turned into a zombie!!"

Chapter 6 Xie Xie: Huh? I'm a genius?!

Donghai College

Zhou Changxi and Yun Xiao watched helplessly as Xie Xie dragged the unconscious Tang Wulin by the back of his collar into the dormitory.

Looking at the bloodstains on Tang Wulin's right shoulder, Yun Xiao couldn't help but swallow hard. "Xie Xie, did you really hit me this hard?"

Xie Xie tossed the person onto the bed and immediately rolled his eyes.

"I hit too hard? He almost punched me into pieces!"

"As for him," Xie Xie said, looking at Tang Wulin who was lying unconscious on the bed, with his arms crossed. "This guy overexerted himself and passed out. I didn't knock him out."

Seeing that Yun Xiao and Zhou Changxi's brains seemed to have crashed and they were practically steaming, Xie Xie simply changed the subject.

"By the way, what time is it now?"
