The Legend of the Dragon King (Web Novel)
Chapter 1288: Time Backtrack!

The Smiley Face Douluo’s attack may have looked simple, but in reality, that attack of his was filled with tremendous power when it was launched. Even a Title Douluo was incapable of resisting it.

The first skill that he used against Tang Wulin earlier had actually defeated a Title Douluo once and resulted in that opponent’s entire body fracturing. That man rested for a year before he recovered.

Only a true fool would believe Hu Jie’s words when he said he had not fought a battle for a very long time. For a powerhouse of his level, his abilities would not reduce by much even if he stopped fighting for decades. He would only become even more experienced and vicious.

The grin on the Smiley Face Douluo’s face immediately became thicker when he saw Tang Wulin’s Blue Emperor Dragon Soars to the Heaven come flying back once again. However, in the next moment, his expression turned slightly confused because he suddenly sensed that Tang Wulin was slowing down as he flew toward him.

Oh no, that was his spiritual domain!

He had been speculating on the characteristics of Tang Wulin’s spiritual domain earlier, but he still found himself caught off guard when Tang Wulin actually launched it.

A person’s spiritual domain was actually capable of turning the tide of a battle if it was powerful enough! Tang Wulin already had formidable powers, but he became entirely unreal and illusory after his spiritual domain was unleashed.

“Hah!” Hu Jie called out with a deep voice. An enormous phantom image suddenly emerged behind his back. It was a smiley-faced fat man that appeared just like himself, only that the shadow was half naked and it was a sparkling gold. A mist of golden light appeared on Hu Jie’s entire body soon after, and the golden halo was at his back while his eyes were shooting out purple electricity. It was the Tang Sect Technique known as the Purple Demon Eyes.

The Blue Emperor Dragon Soars to the Heaven was already closing in when Hu Jie stuck out his fat belly once again. This time, his movements also seemed to turn slower. However, that condensed and thick aura of his was more countless times more powerful than what had been.

No loud collision was heard. At the very moment his belly stuck out, Tang Wulin, who had been charging head-on, suddenly vanished and appeared at a spot over ten meters away from Hu Jie. As a result, the most deadly attack launched when his fat belly was stuck out missed. Then, the Blue Emperor Soars to the Heaven came crashing over.

“Boom!”

Tang Wulin was thrown back by the impact, but the distance he bounced away was slightly shorter than previously. His body spun around once in midair as he swung his right hand, conjuring five streams of gigantic Duskgold light blades that descended from the sky and blasted straight at Hu Jie on the opposite side.

It was the Golden Dragon Dreadclaw!

The over fifteen meters in length Dreadclaw appeared to be shocking the very earth. Its incomparable sharpness cut through the air, leaving black streaks behind in space itself.

Smiley Face Douluo raised his brows ever so slightly. He agilely turned his body around in the air. His entire person swelled up at the sound of his voice and he grew ten meters taller in an instant. He turned into a giant and fused with the golden light specter at his back. He used his belly, proportionate to his massive size, to brace for those sharp claws. At the same time, he swung his hips abruptly to shake his chubby buttocks. A ball of silver light shot out violently. The silver orb had a diameter of over two meters and appeared a little like the enhanced version of an Air Cannon. It arrived before Tang Wulin in a split second.

He did not feel the sharp blades strike his body, for the Golden Dragon Dreadclaw returned to the spot a few meters away from him at the very moment he stuck out his belly. Only then did it strike him.

“That’s the Time Backtrack!” This time, the ever-smiling Hu Jie finally frowned.

The opponent must have had a certain amount of power if he had the ability to use his spiritual domain as an attack! Even a soul master like him, who had also achieved Spirit Domain spiritual power, found it troubling, nevermind ordinary soul masters.

He leaned his upper body back and stuck out his fat belly once again. There was a burst of crisp metallic clanking sounds as the Golden Dragon Dreadclaw struck his belly. It felt as if he was not a human of flesh and blood but a piece of rare metal that was incredibly tough.

With a sway of his body, Tang Wulin turned the six golden soul rings on his body into eight soul rings once again. His seventh soul ring shimmered with radiance and he turned into a golden giant dragon. His dragon’s tail swept across horizontally and collided into the glowing silver orb.

It was his Golden Dragon Avatar!

Under the amplification of his Golden Dragon Rage Domain, Tang Wulin unleashed his Dragon King avatar, over twenty meters in length. At the sound of his rising dragon’s roar, he pounced toward Hu Jie abruptly.

One after another, crashing sounds came from both sides. The Smiley Face Douluo descended from the sky and stood firmly on the ground. He relied on his Gold Belly Silver Buttocks to endure Tang Wulin’s fierce flurry of attacks over and over again.

Judging from the surface, he was in a disadvantageous position. There was nothing Hu Jie could do against Tang Wulin’s tremendously troublesome Time Backtrack as he could not determine when Tang Wulin’s attack would arrive at all. Hu Jie admitted that his defense was powerful, but Tang Wulin’s attacking ability was rather impressive too. Tang Wulin’s power and the force of his strength after summoning his martial soul avatar was already almost equal to that of the Smiley Face Douluo.

Of course, Hu Jie was still being somewhat reserved in order to not harm Tang Wulin. Even so, he found himself becoming more and more amazed as he fought.

In his point of view, Tang Wulin was capable of elevating his strength and attacking ability to such an incredible level, but he was definitely incapable of sustaining it due to his eight-ringed cultivation base. Hu Jie believed that the opportunity for him would come when Tang Wulin let up, even for just for a moment, and he could certainly defeat the young man with one strike.

Nevertheless, Tang Wulin’s attacks were akin to the endless Yangtze River, without the slightest sign of exhaustion. On the contrary, Hu Jie was becoming more and more fatigued as the attacks kept coming at him.

Could it be that Tang Wulin’s physical strength was boundless?

The Smiley Face Douluo was astonished.

It was obvious that both sides were still holding back somewhat for they had not utilized their battle armors. Moreover, Hu Jie had yet to unleash his martial soul avatar.

Whatever the case, Hu Jie was still a rank-98 Hyper Douluo! Even the slightest touch from such an elite powerhouse was not something an ordinary Soul Douluo was capable of resisting.

Tang Wulin used his Golden Dragon King soul skills perfectly and without hesitation. His attacks were growing increasingly violent without. He was getting more and more skilled in his usage of Time Backtrack such that he had completely suppressed Hu Jie spiritually.

At once, the entire arena was shimmering with golden radiance. It was already growing harder and harder for the audience to see both silhouettes. Tang Wulin’s martial soul avatar had never weakened from the beginning to the end and his attack was even exercised powerfully to perfection. The protective shield on the ground was already incapable of stopping his attacks as countless marks appeared on the floor.

“Alright! Sect Master, be careful there.” Smiley Face Douluo finally could not refrain himself anymore after his failure to sensing Tang Wulin’s limitation.

A layer of gold-silver radiance arose from his body. Then, such radiance began to mist and filled the entire gymnasium while everything else in the surroundings began to turn heavier. A massive light shadow appeared slowly.

Smiley Face Douluo’s body swelled up in an instant. He had already achieved fifty meters tall in a split second while the entire gymnasium’s height was only slightly over fifty meters.

The Dragon King avatar over twenty meters long paled in comparison before Smiley Face Douluo. More importantly, the almighty that was close to a Limit Douluo had an aura that was growing larger and larger following the size of his body.

There was no assault but he spun around on the same spot. His golden large tummy and silver chubby buttocks flung about and formed into a golden hurricane in the middle of the arena abruptly.

The scene shocked all the Shrek Seven Monsters. How could this happen?

Tang Wulin could only feel as a gush of terrifying immense force combined with exceedingly massive blood essence fluctuation swept over him. He was blasted away from the impact instantaneously before slamming onto the protective shield around the gymnasium.

Gold-silver double-colored vortex spread out continuously. It converted repulsive force into suction force that was pulling at Tang Wulin’s body suddenly.

It was difficult to tell what would happen if Tang Wulin was sucked into the gold-silver vortex. He might even be churned and pulverized directly.

This was the Smiley Douluo’s true abilities. Tang Wulin flapped Golden Dragon King’s double wings strenuously to resist the terrifying suction force.

In reality, it would be much easier for Tang Wulin to resist Hu Jie if he were to unleash his battle armor now. However, he would immediately lose the spar if that was the case.

He heaved a sigh secretly in his heart. ‘Am I finally going to test out that trick?’
