Chapter 1886 - The Lineup
1886 The Lineup
Gu Yuena said, “Sure.”
Then, she turned toward the people from the Spirit Pagoda and said, “In order to ensure that we defeat the Demon Empress, I’ll need to collaborate with the Tang Sect Master. Thus, I’ll be in the same team as him. Our Spirit Pagoda will join the rest of the reclusive clans as the third team. Thank you for taking the trouble to lead the team, both of you.” The two people she was referring to at the end of her address were the father and son, Qiangu Dieting and Qiangu Dongfeng respectively.
Qiangu Dongfeng was about to speak when Qiangu Dieting held his shoulder and stopped him from opening his mouth. Without any hesitation, Qiangu Dieting nodded and said, “Sure, let’s form a team.”
Qiangu Dongfeng looked at his father in astonishment. He could not help transmitting his voice to ask, “Father, what are you doing? Gu Yuena is not with us and Leng Yaozhu is dead. Our team is not powerful enough! If we form a team, I’m afraid we might…”
Qiangu Dieting replied calmly, “Do you think that we’ll stand a chance to defeat the formidable enemy this time? For the legacy of our clan, we must abandon what needs to be abandoned. We need to sacrifice our lives for we can’t be the sinners of the clan.”
Qiangu Dongfeng’s body shook once. He looked toward his father in bewilderment. At this very moment, he came to realize many things. His lips moved as if he was going to speak, but he could not bring himself to say it. He knew that it was impossible for him to change anything now.
It did not take long before Yu Guanzhi came flying back swiftly. He said in a deep voice, “The Demon Empress has agreed. I represented our side in consenting to the agreement. The final battle shall begin in an hour as agreed upon before!”
As soon as those words were spoken, the people turned solemn.
Since it was already decided, everyone would devote all their efforts to fight.
Tang Wulin looked toward his companions standing behind him and said in a deep voice, “Let’s assign the candidates now.”
“Count us in.” Yuanen Zhentian walked forward slowly. The Titan Douluo was smiling without a care about entering a battle of life and death as if it was just a trifle matter.
Tang Wulin looked touched. “Senior Yuanen, both of you are actually not considered Shrek’s people. You can…”
Yuanen Zhentian said in rage, “Tang Sect Master, you must think this through first. How are we not considered Shrek’s people? We are a part of Shrek Academy through and through. I’m a teacher in Shrek Academy. I’ve heard the stories about Shrek Academy. I’m most respectful to learn that only the teachers died during the great catastrophe in the past. No student was killed in the calamity. It moved me very much. I’ve been deeply affected by the Shrek spirit despite not being with Shrek for long.”
Moreover, this is not only Shrek’s war as it involves all mankind. Can the eggs remain unbroken when the nest is totally ruined? We’re confident that we still have some skills up our sleeves. If we don’t utilize them now, when are we going to use it? Don’t tell me we’ve to wait until all mankind is annihilated. Furthermore, we’re at ease knowing that our Titan Clan is in Shrek Academy. The lineage of our clan is guarded by Shrek and the Tang Sect, so it’ll continue for sure. Let’s not discuss any further. Tang Sect Master, count us both, father and son, in.”
Yuanen Tiandang stood by his father’s side. He was smiling with a determined look in his eyes.
“Sure!” Tang Wulin did not have much to say.
“Me too.” The Qilin Douluo Tong Yu stepped forward too. His demeanor was so calm as if everything else was unimportant to him.
Tang Wulin took a long glance at him and said, “Senior Tong Yu, you probably heard what I said earlier. My birth father is the Sea God Tang San. I was left in this world before I was adopted by my adoptive father. I’m not the true son of my adoptive father. So, you…”
Tong Yu said, “So, does your adoptive father have other children?”
Tang Wulin shook his head subconsciously.
Tong Yu said, “That’s fine then. Since there are no other children, where am I to look for another spiritual entrustee? Moreover, this matter is not only a matter of your Douluo Continent. It concerns all mankind. I come from the Star Luo Empire, so just consider me as a representative of Star Luo.”
Upon saying that, he walked over to Yuanen Tiandang and his son’s side. It was apparent that he would not give Tang Wulin any opportunity to reject him.
The Holy Spirit Douluo Yali walked over and stood next to Tong Yu’s side naturally. There was nothing much for him to say about his godmother. They had a deep-seated hatred for the Holy Spirit Cult due to a bloody feud.
Together, the four great Limit Douluos from Shrek Academy chose to take part.
“You can’t go without us.” Lan Muzi, Tang Yingmeng, and Wu Zhangkong stepped forward in succession. On the other side, the Title Douluo-ranked powerhouses from the Tang Sect stepped forward in succession and organized themselves into a team.
Included among these people were the Body Douluo A Ruheng, and the Gale Saber Demon Sima Jinchi. Every single one of them was a powerhouse.
“Big brother, we’re one. Since when do the Shrek Seven Monsters need to be separated? Anyhow, I don’t care. You must count me in your team. This is the moment to be a hero of the entire continent. How can you not include me?” Xie Xie made his way next to Tang Wulin in a flash. He was indignant at being left out.
“Yes, the Shrek Seven Monsters are one.” Ye Xinglan walked over. The remaining five made their way over to stand next to Tang Wulin.
The Shrek Seven Monsters were led by Tang Wulin. Undoubtedly, their individual abilities made them some of the most powerful people here. In fact, none of them were a Limit Douluo other than Tang Wulin. Only Yuanen Yehui and Ye Xinglan were considered Hyper Douluos while the rest were only Title Douluos who had yet to achieve Hyper Douluo rank.
Nevertheless, it was Tang Wulin who helped them complete their four-word battle armors because they were the Shrek Seven Monsters. Despite being Title Douluos, their abilities could be compared to the Limit Douluo rank when they were cladded in their four-word battle armors.
The Divine Craftsman Tang Wulin played a decisive role in elevating the status of Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect. The most incredible part about him was that he never suffered from the backlash effect when he performed the Heavenly Refinement. He was peerless in the blacksmith profession from the beginning till now.
It only took one call. There were already more than thirty powerhouses from Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect who came forward with the utmost confidence to partake in the matches. No one had the slightest intention to pull back at the moment.
It was precisely then that the army, the Spirit Pagoda, and the numerous reclusive clans got to witness the extent of Shrek Academy’s and the Tang Sect’s power.
On the other hand, Tang Wulin was in a dilemma. Apparently, it was quite difficult for him to choose only nine people from all these people. Based on their abilities, he would need to prioritize the Limit Douluo-ranked powerhouses. However, the cooperation between the Shrek Seven Monsters was the best, especially in the presence of the number one master control soul master Xu Xiaoyan. He was at a loss when it came to classifying her based on her rank alone.
The battle was too important. How should he make the final decision then?
Just as Tang Wulin found himself in a difficult situation, the Holy Spirit Douluo Yali walked over slowly and arrived by his side. She spoke in a deep voice, “It’s one thing to have abilities, but all of you have received Shrek Academy’s guidance. A good team with superb teamwork is tough to come by. You can still achieve victory even if the individual abilities are weak. Think of Shrek Academy’s history. Which generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters did not elevate themselves after triumphing over more powerful opponents? Thus, I propose the Shrek Seven Monsters to join the match. All of you are already qualified and capable enough. Besides, there’s the Silver Dragon Princess Gu Yuena. I think you can even include Sima Jinchi whereby the nine of you can form a team.”
