Douluo Dalu 3: The Legend of the Dragon King

What incredible power!

Gu Yuena lowered her gaze, and said, "I'm only telling you what I'm feeling; it's up to you whether you choose to believe me or not." After that, she turned and departed.

Compared with Qiangu Dongfeng, her style and demeanor were completely different.

Yu Guanzhi turned to Chen Xinjie with an inquisitive expression, to which Chen Xinjie said, "It's always better to be safe than sorry, so let's prepare for battle. If the enemies don't turn up, great! But if they do, we have to be ready."

Yu Guanzhi nodded in response. "Alright, I'll issue the relevant orders."

Right at this moment, an alarm suddenly rang out across the entire control center without any warning. All of the generals and admirals were already rather tightly wound, and their expressions immediately changed slightly upon hearing the alarm.

Had the enemies really returned?

...... 

Six hours flew by in a flash, and Tang Wulin's aura had undergone some further minute changes.

As he rose to his feet, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he murmured to himself, "The Evil Spirit Orca King's leg bones really are extremely evil and aggressive in nature. It's a pity that they came up against my Golden Dragon King bloodline; they stood no chance in the end."

He looked down at his own two legs, and a pleased look appeared on his face.

Right at this moment, the authoritative voice rang out once again.

"The eighth trial of the Sea God, Challenge to Inherit the Sea God's Godseat."

Challenge to inherit the Sea God's godseat? Tang Wulin faltered slightly upon hearing this.

What was that supposed to mean? How was he supposed to challenge for the godseat?

However, the voice offered no further explanation.

Immediately thereafter, the surrounding area began to transform, and the entire space warped blurred, following which Tang Wulin found himself in a spacious golden hall.

The hall wasn't particularly well-lit, but everything inside was glowing with golden light.

The ceiling was over 100 meters above his head, and it was an extremely majestic building that was surrounded by a series of massive pillars that looked as if they stood directly between heaven and earth.

As soon as Tang Wulin arrived in the hall, he was struck by a strong sense of nostalgia.

He recognized this hall; of course he did!

It seemed to have become larger than before, but its aura remained the same; this was the hall where he had learned from Old Tang!

It was Old Tang's teachings that had sped up his development, and at the time, he had been oblivious to the fact that Old Tang had been manifested from a wisp of his father's soul.

All of a sudden, Tang Wulin's eyes widened as something dawned on him.

Could it be that he was supposed to challenge...

Right as this thought began to appear in his mind, a figure slowly emerged up ahead not far away from him.

This was a tall and handsome figure with a head of long blue hair, and he seemed to be one with everything around him. He was wearing a set of tight-fitting robes that perfectly accentuated his figure, and even though his eyes were closed, he was giving off an ethereal aura, as if he were one with the very heavens.

Tang Wulin was rooted to the spot upon seeing this, and immediately thereafter, his skin began to crawl as if all of the pores all over his entire body had opened up at once. An indescribable sense of emotion welled up in his heart, and he couldn't help but yell, "Father!"

That's right, the man standing before him was none other than Sea God Tang San. To put it more accurately, this seemed to be Tang San before he ascended to godhood as he didn't possess a godly aura.

A warm smile appeared on Tang San's face, and he sighed, "My son, I've been looking forward to this meeting as the fact that you're here means that you've earned the right to undergo the eighth trial of the Sea God. I'm very glad to see that you've grown up so splendidly."

Tang Wulin's heart jolted slightly upon hearing this as he instantly realized that this was the voice that had been left in the Sea God's Trident back since his father had first left it to him.

"Prior to commencing the eighth trial, there's something that you need to know: I don't know when we'll be reunited, but I'm confident that that day will come. Perhaps it'll be very far away, but we will be reunited at some point."The look in Tang San's eyes became even gentler, and they seemed to be filled with countless emotions. Tears immediately began to well up in Tang Wulin's eyes upon hearing this.

He was somehow able to feel the deep emotions that were imbued in his father's words; there was intense yearning, crippling guilt, and even more intense anticipation.

He was separated from his parents from birth, but at the very least, he had foster parents to look after him during his childhood, and he had been oblivious to his true origins, but his parents had constantly been tormented by their separation.

In that instant, Tang Wulin wanted nothing better than to set off to search for his parents right away. Of course, if he wanted to do that, he would have to ascend to godhood first.

Tang San paused momentarily, seemingly to compose himself, and right at this moment, another figure appeared beside him.

This figure was slightly shorter than Tang San, and Tang Wulin's breath was immediately snatched away by the sight of her.

This was a fair and elegant figure in a pink dress, and her large and exuberant eyes were already brimming with tears.

Her long hair was arranged into a single braid that trailed almost down to the floor, and her entire body was trembling slightly.

She was so beautiful and full of vitality, but the pallor of her face was clearly slightly pale and unhealthy.

"Linlin!" She let loose a heartbroken cry and rushed toward him with her arms spread open. [If you hadn't figured it out, Linlin is a pet name for Wulin, derived from the last character of his name.]

Tang Wulin was unable to hold back the tears any longer as the floodgates sprang open, and he rushed toward the figure as quickly as he could. There was no need for any explanation or introduction; he immediately knew who she was at first sight.

"Mother!" He tried to embrace the figure, and even though he couldn't sense a physical body, he could feel a faint sense of warmth that seemed to be melting his entire body.

This was his birth mother, the wife of Tang San, one of the first generation of Shrek’s Seven Monsters, Soft Bone Douluo Xiao Wu.

As a 100,000-year-old soul beast who had reincarnated herself as a human, she had shared a legendary love story with his father, and they had both ascended to godhood together.

Upon learning that he was Tang San's son, Tang Wulin had envisioned his mother's appearance countless times.

Even though this Xiao Wu was different from what he had envisioned, in that instant, he could feel with unwavering conviction that this was his mother, his birth mother!

This was a sense of bloodline connection that was beyond doubt and question.

His mother was even more beautiful and gentle than he had imagined. She was so perfect, and her voice completely melted his heart.

Both of them were sobbing uncontrollably.

While recording this footage, she was unable to see her son, so she was even more emotional than he was.

This was her and Tang San's son! They had been separated as soon as he was born, and she didn't even get a chance to breastfeed him once.

How she wished that she could've been by her son's side and watched him grow day by day.
