Dragon King of Apocalypse

Chapter 41: Vacation

"Were pretty close to Bright City." Said Zeref, as he was walking beside Acnologia. It has been two days since they left the train and went into the city to figure out where Bright City was.

They're promptly making their way to challenge the soul master there.

"You're not going to try and fight Wu Zhankong when we get back to Shrek right?" Asked Zeref.

"Before maybe but now, he owes me one." Said Tang Wulin. He has been thinking lately on how to deal with Wu Zhankong and Shen Yi.

While it would be more straightforward to just beat them into the ground, Zeref did offer him an excellent suggestion.

'Blackmail huh.' Tang Wulin smirks, as he remembers it was that old man, Zhou Shi was the one that knocked him out.

He can blackmail him to do whatever he wants and with his help, he could skirt around some of Shrek annoying rules.

"When I gave you that suggestion. I was certain it would cause the least amount of destruction but now I'm not so sure."Said Zeref, as he saw the cruel smirk on Tang Wulin face.

"Meh, the destruction would have either been right away or delayed." Said Tang Wulin.

Although if he was, to be honest, he cared about Wu Zhankong enough to just blackmail him instead of beating him down.

'I guess spending all that time with that ice bastard has actuality caused me to care for him.' Tang Wulin thought.

After a few hours of walking, the duos saw Bright City showing up in front of them. Tang Wulin went inside the city but then he smelled a certain someone behind him.

"Come out you icy bastard." Said Tang Wulin, as Wu Zhankong appeared behind him with his arms folded behind him.

"So you have completed your task at Everglades?" Asked Wu Zhankong, while inward he was shocked at the speed it took Tang Wulin. It took his master over two months to reach the top of the mountain, and that was one of the fastest times.

"I ate the herbs." Said Tang Wulin as he gazes at Wu Zhankong stoically.

Wu Zhangkong rolled his eyes as he knew that wasn't an impossibility when it came to this boy.

"Good, it was for you anyway." Said Wu Zhankong, which Tang Wulin nodded to as he was doubting it was for that old man.

"So, I'm guessing the gravity on the mountain was meant as training for me?" Asked Tang Wulin.

"Yes, the gravity was supposed to improve your cultivation and the herb was to help your blood essence. All the proof we needed to pass you was the increase in your cultivation, so you eating the herb isn't much of a problem. Although it was dangerous of you to eat it without any supervision." Said Wu Zhankong.

"You couldn't have just told me that?"

"Would you have still gone if we did?" Asked Wu Zhankong.

"Nope. Although I do understand why you guys did it but." Said Tang Wulin.

"You, Shen Yi and that old man owe me." Said Tang Wulin. Wu Zhankong nodded, his head after realizing what Tang Wulin was after when he didn't assault him the moment he saw him.

"What do you want?" Asked Wu Zhankong, while he wouldn't normally bend to a student. He recognized it would be better than fighting Tang Wulin and end up destroying half of the city.

"Don't worry about it now." Said Tang Wulin. Wu Zhankong lips twitch as he knew he owed a trouble maker and he will most likely end up suffering later.

"You had a breakthrough when you reach the top?" Said Wu Zhankong as he notices Tang Wulin energy was different than before.

"Yes, I'm now a Spirit Ancestor." Said Tang Wulin. Wu Zhankong could imagine is master with a mocking smile as he brags about his grand-disciple who became a Spirit Ancestor at such a young age.

"And you're clothing being damage is from the spirit beast you fought?"

"Yep." Said Tang Wulin.

"Alright now can you tell me where the strong soul master is." Asked Tang Wulin.

"Your teammates have already made their way to the Imperial Sun Moon Soul Engineering Academy. They went to go challenge the strongest force at the school."Said Wu Zhankong.

Tang Wulin grin as he begins making his way over and Wu Zhankong started shadowing him again.

After running through the city for a while, he came upon a building with the sign saying 'Imperial Sun Moon Soul Engineering Academy'.

The building was allowed made entirely of metal, its base gradually sloping outward to join with three other buildings in a giant connected complex.

Tang Wulin could already see a crowd of people around the building and the noise of battle.

Tang Wulin moved through the crowd and was going to enter the building but an old man steps in front of him.

"No one is allowed in the building. Our school is having match-."

"With Shrek Academy, I know. I'm the leader of the team that challenges you guys, so let me in." Said Tang Wulin. The old man blinks but then he saw four spirit rings lit up behind Tang Wulin, three purple, and one black.

'Heavens! He is already a Spirit Anscetor at his age.' Thought the old man in fright as he quickly let Tang Wulin in.

He already knew only a monster school like Shrek could produce someone like him and so both of them head towards the elevator.

Wu Zhankong appeared inside the elevator shocking the old man but Tang Wulin said he is a teacher from Shrek. The old man calms down but was wary of both Tang Wulin and Wu Zhankong.

The old man led them through the building as they could hear the screams and cheers through the door in front of them.

The door was open as both Tang Wulin and Wu Zhankong entered time. They saw Wu Siduo 'Hell White Tiger' was clashing against a two-meter-tall woman wearing a long blue dress. In her hands, an icy blue sword.

"Oh! It's our Weng Daimin and Xue Liushuang fusion skill, Ice Goddess."The old man yelled as he saw the figures clashing.

Tang Wulin gaze at both of the fusions clashing and knew the Hell White Tiger will lose in time if nothing changes.

He saw Xie Xie appeared behind the Ice Goddess and implement on all-out attack behind it, while it was engaged with the Hell White Tiger.

The Ice Goddess ignore Xie Xie attack and was too busy pushing the Hell White Tiger to the ground.

Ye Xinglan, Gu Yue and Xu Xiaoyan went on to help Xie Xie as they started sending out attacks on the Ice Goddess.

The Ice Goddess roared as it swung its sword to eliminate everyone behind her. Gu Yue used her space element to transport, everyone away as the sword clash where they were.

This gave the Hell White Tiger a chance to go for the kill but the Ice Goddess knew what it was trying to do. But before it could turn to smack the tiger away, it felt its whole body freeze for a split second.

Xu Xiaoyan had a smirk on her face, as her martial soul change and caused shock to everyone watching her.

Even some elders screamed when they saw her finally revealing her other martial soul and this gave Wu Siduo the opening she needed.

The Hell White Tiger pounces toward the Ice Goddess neck and hitting it with all of its strength.

BANG!

Wu Siduo body fell down as she didn't have any more energy to keep the Hell White Tiger. It didn't matter as the Ice Goddess was wounded too severely.

"Now it's all up to Ye Xinglan, Xie Xie, Xu Xianyan and Gu Yue to beat the Ice Goddess." Said Tang Wulin, as he was watching over the battle. Wu Zhankong was on his soul communicator talking to someone.

"You think they can do it? While the Ice Goddess is wounded severely, it's still is dangerous for them. " Said Zeref as he appeared beside Tang Wulin.

'I have come to learn every single one of them is a sore loser. The thought of losing isn't even registered in their mind or thinking. So I'm sure they will pull off something.' Tang Wulin thought as he remembers the fierceness and unwillingness he came to knew from being with them.

Xie Xie used his footwork and clones to distract the wounded Ice Goddess who swings became too predictable. Gu Yue fired off her long-range elemental attack at the spot that the Hell White Tiger damages.

While Ye Xinglan and Xu Xiaoyan kept on sneak attacking the Ice Goddess because Xie Xie baiting its attack.

They were able to this all so perfectly because the Ice Goddes was in a hurry to defeat them before it ran out of soul power.

This wouldn't happen if it wasn't so injured but it was costing Weng Daimin and Xue Liushuang more soul power to keep fighting.

After a while, the Ice Goddess hold out as it defuses leaving Weng Daimin and Xue Liushuang too weak to fight back. Tang Wulin shook his head as he and Wu Zhankong started making their way to them.

"Do I still have to fight a soul master here?" Asked Tang Wulin. He felt strangely content to not overshadow is teammates hard work win today.

"No. I just heard about your incident with the Evil Soul Master." Said Wu Zhankong as he was just on the communicator with Shen Yi.

"Evil Soul Master?" Tang Wulin questioned.

"The person you killed on the train." Said Wu Zhankong.

"Oh, I didn't know he was one." Said Tang Wulin, causing Wu Zhankong lips to twitch. He was even more confident in Tang Wulin chances in the mecha competition.

Tang Wulin saw his team helping each other up, as most of them were extremely tired.

"As expected, you guys won." Wu Zhankong voice rang out loud and with soul power, it echoes throughout the whole stadium.

"Teacher!" They all shouted out but then they froze when they saw the person behind Wu Zhankong. It's has been over a week since they last saw Tang Wulin, as they look over him with his damaged clothing.

"Boss!"

"Captain!"

"Wulin!"

"Tang Wulin!"

"Yo." Said Tang Wulin as he heard everyone called out towards him. Then he arches a brow when he saw them all running toward him and then dog piling on him.

"Aren't you guys tired and injured?" Said Tang Wulin, under the piles of body. The people above him started complaining and saying he deserves this for not being with them.

The word captain was echo through the arena and the broadcast of Bright City. This shock everyone present because this meant, the team they fought didn't have their captain with them.

A team captain is a big part of the team strength and without them, how could the team possibly fight at their full strength. Another thing is that a captain is usually more terrifying than everyone else on his team.

So you can understand everyone shock when they heard the team that just beat Imperial Sun Moon Academy's team calling someone captain.

The Shrek team left the arena as they begin making their way out of the Academy. They saw a car park out in front of the building, Tang Wulin turned to Wu Zhankong and said.

"You know I'm not getting in." Causing Wu Zhankong to roll his eyes.

"Are you going to walk?" Asked Wu Zhankong, knowing how far Shrek Academy was from Bright City.

"No, I will just fly there." Said Tang Wulin as his Light Wings appeared behind him. Then four rings appeared under him, shocking everyone but Wu Zhankong.

Then his fourth one lit up as he disappeared instantly as massive clouds were formed and the sound of lightning crackle.

"Did he ditch us again!" Xie Xie screamed as he was too tired and injured to stop Tang Wulin. Wu Zhankong rolled his eyes, as he kicks everyone else inside and chases after Tang Wulin.

#

The end-of-semester exam soon concluded. It seems because of the action of the group in Bright City caused everyone to be awarded bonus points in the class. Leading everyone to stay in the academy and not get expelled.

Shen Yi gave a brief summary of the exam's outcomes then announced the end of the semester and the start of their vacation.

The news of the victory over Imperial Sun Moon Academy strongest force had already spread like wildfire in the outer court. The group started to become more famous and popular than before.

Tang Wulin was in his room with everyone that was on his team with Yue Zhangyu, Yuenan Yehui, and Mu Xi too.

"So why are you all in my room?" Asked Tang Wulin with an arched brow.

"Come now, captain. I'm sure you're curious about where everyone is going on vacation." Said Xie Xie with a smile. Tang Wulin rolled his eyes but motions for them to continue.

"I'm paying my home a visit first. Then I'm going training in the Spirit Pagoda for a bit. We only have one month off after all," Gu Yue said.

"I'm going home, I want to check up on family and cultivate there." Said Xie Xie.

"I'm staying here." Said Xu Xiaoyan.

"I'm going home, I need to get my fourth spirit ring. I can't lose to you." Yue Zhengyu said to Tang Wulin.

"I'm staying," Ye Xinglan said. "You owe me a rematch but before that, I'll be training my sword in seclusion until Gu Yue returns to help me get another spirit soul." Ye Xinglan gazes at Tang Wulin while knowing she needs to get stronger to put up a better fight.

"I'm going home, I want to see everyone at home. But big sis call me when you're going to the Spirit Pagoda, I want to come too." Said Xu Lizhi.

"I'm going with my Dad on a business trip to meet someone. I should be back after a week." Said Mu Xi.

"I'm going home. I miss those at home."Said Wu Siduo, surprising everyone there.

"I don't have any family to visit, so I'm going to stay and cultivate." Yuanen Yehui said to everyone. Tang Wulin nodded but then he saw everyone staring at him.

"I'm staying, a certain old man owes me big time." Said Tang Wulin. Xie Xie grins and then grab Tang Wulin hand to put it in the middle. Tang Wulin rolled his eyes as he felt everyone started to put their hand on top of each other.

"Let's do our best!" Everyone but Tang Wulin cheered.

"Why aren't you guys leaving now?" Said Tang Wulin as he saw everyone just stayed. Wu Siduo moves her eyes toward him and smiled.

"Walk me to the gate please." Said Wu Siduo, causing some people around them to twitch.

Tang Wulin arches a brow but shrugs his shoulder as he started getting up. Gu Yue put a hand down on his shoulder while glaring at Wu Siduo.

"I'm sure you can walk to the gate by yourself." Gu Yue said but Wu Siduo glared back her. Xie Xie is seeing the sparks flying before them quickly suggested they all walk together with the gates.

This caused both Gu Yue and Wu Siduo to glare at him with murderous intent. Xie Xie quickly moves behind Tang Wulin and use him as a shield. Tang Wulin shook his head while sighing as everyone was laughing at the situation.

"You want to do what?" Asked Tang Wulin as he stared at Xu Xiaoyan who was giving him a faint smile.

"Let's go out together and eat captain." Xu Xiaoyan said while giving Tang Wulin an innocent look. Tang Wulin gaze at her for a while before nodding.

It has bee a day since everyone else left. Now it's just him, Xu Xiaoyan and Yuanen Yehui in their group that was staying at Shrek.

Wu Zhankong told him the old man Zhou Shi won't be back for a while. So he has been training with Xu Xiaoyan as she was close to rank 40.

"Great! Meet me at the gate in an hour and remember to wear something nice captain!"Said Xu Xiaoyan as she started running toward her dorm.

"You know you just accepted her request to go on a date right?" Zeref said as he appeared beside Acnologia.

Tang Wulin didn't say anything back to Zeref as he begins walking back to his dorm to get change.
