"I also bestowed a blessing upon Su Ming. Regardless of the strength of the blessing or the fact that my consciousness truly descended into your body, it all points to one result: your Godhood is higher than his."
A Yin spoke.
"Yali went to the Blood God Legion and probably said something. At that time, Yun Ming might have noticed something and told Yali, who then told Su Ming, leading to you being targeted by Su Ming."
Tang Wulin's expression was worried.
"So next, I can't show myself publicly."
"No, not only must you show yourself, you must also prove your legitimacy in an open and honest manner!"
A Yin denied Tang Wulin, her expression was quite solemn.
"Don't forget, you are the orthodox, he is not!"
A Yin's words made Tang Wulin was startled.
To be honest, even now he wasn't used to the fact that he had become the Son of Nature.
Also his origins; he still wasn't used to that either.
After Shrek Academy was destroyed, the various Pavilion Elders went to different parts of the Federation, contacting former students. At Old Tang's reminder, Tang Wulin took the initiative to assume the task of contacting the Clear Sky Clan.
Since arriving here, he hadn't done much practical work, focusing on retreat and digesting the Golden Ancient Tree's three-tenths origin.
With A Yin's help, the Golden Ancient Tree origin within him was well sorted. The part belonging to A Yin was all used to strengthen Tang Wulin's Blue Silver Emperor. The part not belonging to A Yin, which A Yin infused together, remained stored within Tang Wulin's body.
"Now it seems, this part of the power can't be kept anymore. We must use it quickly. Your lack of strength is the biggest shortcoming," Old Tangoooo said decisively.
"But didn't Grandma say she needed this part to reincarnate? The Seed of Life needs this power "To sprout and germinate quickly," Tang Wulin hesitated.
"The matter of the Tree of Life can be delayed. The key now is you. You need sufficient strength. Only with strength do you have a voice," Old Tang said.
A Yin also echoed.
"Su Ming is very strange. He has many faith constructs on him, and his Godhood is also enigmatic. It's unknown how he obtained the identities of Child of Fortune, Son of the Plane, and the secondary Child of Nature identity I gave him back then. These three major identities gathered in one person can't be coincidence. It's likely he has special means to usurp Godhood."
Speaking here, A Yin's expression became heavy, her voice also carrying a slight tremor.
"If, truly, he suppresses you in public opinion, the backup plan I left might be broken by him. Even if the Seed of the Plane on you is more advanced, it won't cultivate quickly. What he lacks is only Godhood, and he might plot it up." "Through special means."
Tang Wulin felt somewhat bewildered.
He had never encountered anything so advanced before.
So Su Ming had so many layers of identity.
No wonder he was so overpowered.
Tang Wulin understood now; he hadn't lost unjustly before.
However—
No matter how many identities Su Ming had, he still had the right to compete with him.
Tang Wulin made up his mind.
"Old Tang, please help me unlock the ninth seal."
"Grandma, after I absorb the ninth seal, could you help me absorb that portion of the Golden Ancient Tree's origin?"
"I want to absorb the ninth and tenth seals consecutively."
Old Tang nodded in satisfaction.
That's more like it.
By fusing with the tenth seal, Tang Wulin would possess his fifth Qi and Blood Spirit Ring, and his strength would also have a significant leap.
Given the Golden Dragon King's power, each seal basically corresponds to a Spirit Master's Rank, at least for the first six.
Starting from seventh, this improvement would be slightly weaker, as a cultivator's progress each rank becomes increasingly difficult, with greater strength gaps.
Fusing ten seals, Tang Wulin would at least have strength at the Titled Douluo level.
"You and Su Ming only differ in Spirit Power and Battle Armor," Old Tang comforted him. "As long as you fuse the tenth seal, you and he stand on the same starting point. Your strength can only be at the Titled Douluo level because you lack Battle Armor that can amplify bloodline power."
He gave a wry smile.
The Battle Armor of this era has a limited amplification for Tang Wulin's bloodline power.
It's not exactly limited. To be precise, Tang Wulin's production capacity can't keep up.
Tang Wulin after fusing ten seals can first be seen as having advanced to the Titled Douluo level himself. Purely looking at the bloodline domain, he should use the Three-Word Battle Armor.
But unfortunately, there exists... No mecha designer could tailor-make core formations and design concepts specifically for his Golden Dragon King bloodline.
No, there should be one.
It's just that the relationship between that one and Tang Wulin isn't good... Old Tang felt somewhat helpless.
If Gu Yue helped Tang Wulin design the blueprints, then Tang Wulin could create a Battle Armor that perfectly utilizes the Golden Dragon King bloodline, and then, combined with the Three-Word Battle Armor, unleash Super Douluo strength.
Moreover, as long as the Battle Armor material is excellent enough, he could even have Ninety-Eighth Level strength, close to the limit! With the help from himself and A Yin, Tang Wulin could even be considered halfway to the limit.
Unfortunately.
The current development of Battle Armors is insufficient.
The normal design concept simply cannot effectively utilize the Golden Dragon King's bloodline power.
Hearing Old Tang's analysis, Tang Wulin immediately became excited.
So the gap between him and Su Ming was only this... Little.
An immense surge of motivation welled up within him.
Before, the gap between him and Su Ming was vast.
Recently, he had caught up!
What did this mean?
"My progress has surpassed Su Ming's!"
Tang Wulin, filled with excitement, prepared to fuse with the ninth seal.
"The fusion of the ninth seal is the key. This seal is now entirely within your capacity. Perfectly digesting it is crucial, whether for Your physical attributes, your bloodline power, or even the fusion between the Blue Silver Emperor and this bloodline."
"Lay this foundation, with your grandmother helping you fuse that portion of the Golden Ancient Tree origin, and you will be qualified to fuse the tenth seal."
The fusion of the tenth seal isn't that easy.
"I know!"
Tang Wulin nodded earnestly, making preparations.
A Yin watched Tang Wulin fuse the seal, a strange urgency rising in her heart.
"I actually feel panicked. What's going on? Could Su Ming really..."
She thought of Tang Hao, who had been dormant for a long time.
Tang Hao had been without movement for too long.
"Elder Yue, I've said it. The Federation and the person behind this action will both be punished, but not by us!"
Yali gathered the Pavilion Elders, reiterating: "Don't help Tang Wulin anymore!"
Her tone was resolute, without a trace of regret or pity.
"Wulin is the..." "A true henchman of our Shrek. He also has a relationship with me—"
Yali glared at Zhuoshi.
"Shut up! Have you truly not seen what he did?"
Zhuoshi's face darkened.
That was his grand-disciple.
He couldn't ignore it.
Feng Wuyu also hesitated, but caught in the middle, unable to find a supporter between Tang Wulin and Su Ming, he didn't truly speak.
