Chapter 1411
Dai Yueyan had been selected by the shrewd Dai Tianling to become the heir to the throne, so he was naturally very intelligent himself, and he immediately realized what his father was implying. "Are you saying it was the Tang Sect?"
Dai Tianling didn\'t respond, but there was a contemplative look in his eyes.
"Surely that\'s impossible!" Dai Yueyan\'s voice spiked up a few octaves as he exclaimed, "The Tang Sect can alter the weather? That storm\'s focal destructive power can\'t compare with that of a Godslayer missile, but according to our statistics, if we were to take into account the area it had encompassed, the destructive power output would\'ve been comparable to multiple Godslayer missiles exploding at once! If the Tang Sect had such technology, how did their headquarters get destroyed?"
Dai Tianling seemed to be rather displeased by his son\'s lack of composure, and he turned to him before replying, "The circumstances surrounding this storm were very suspicious; if it really were a man-made storm, then there\'s only one possibility. Even if the federation had this technology, it wouldn\'t use it on itself. The only other alternative would be multiple ultra-powerful sea soul beasts coming together to create such a storm, but sea soul beasts of that caliber have never appeared on our records. Hence, the only reasonable explanation is the Tang Sect."
Dai Yueyan drew a sharp breath upon hearing this. "It\'s a good thing that the Tang Sect is on our side."
Dai Tianling harrumphed coldly, "They\'re not on our side; they\'re siding with the underdogs to try and prevent this war. If we were more powerful than the federation, they would definitely be standing against us."
Dai Yueyan\'s brows furrowed slightly upon hearing this. "Father, why is it that a weapon-producing sect doesn\'t like war?"
Dai Tianling sighed, "This is where the genius of the Tang Sect lies! They\'re not actually arms producers; they specialize in the research and development of soul technology. Only now do I truly believe that the level of technological advancement of the Tang Sect can compare with the entire federation. The federation\'s biggest mistake is trying to oppress the Tang Sect."
"Father, I have to go back to oversee the preparations now; I\'ll make sure that everything is set up as soon as possible."
......
After waking up from a long slumber, Tang Wulin\'s entire body was still feeling very numb. This was obviously not a very comfortable feeling, but at the very least, his feebleness had abated significantly.
He inspected his own internal condition to find that a purplish-golden color had appeared over his meridians and bones, and compared to in the past, he seemed to have become thinner. On top of that, the total amount of soul power within his body had also decreased by at least a third. However, this didn\'t mean that his powers had decreased. Instead, there was now an indescribable sense of density to his soul power.
Having had his body refined by that storm of lightning, he seemed to have progressed even further beyond his full mastery of the congenital secret method. A wry smile appeared on Tang Wulin\'s face. He was becoming less and less like a human being.
The soul power within his body had clearly been compressed. Soul power cultivated by the Mysterious Heaven Method was already highly compressed; to further compress it down to two-thirds of its original mass was certainly no simple feat.
Through this storm of lightning, the Infernal Lightning Vine had undoubtedly benefited immensely, and Tang Wulin had also reaped many fruits.
The total amount of soul power within his body had decreased, but he had become a true Titled Douluo, and he could clearly sense that his physical constitution had improved even further.
He didn\'t know what soul skills the Infernal Lightning Vine had bestowed upon him, but a 100,000-year-old soul ring would grant him at least two of the three insanely powerful abilities that the Infernal Lightning Vine had displayed in the past; this would definitely provide a massive enhancement in his overall power.
Thinking back, he had progressed all the way from a Soul Sage to a Titled Douluo during this journey, which had spanned less than a year; this was simply an unimaginable leap.
On top of that, he now had the full support of Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect, as well as from the power of his father.
Even though it was only for a very short time, Tang Wulin had ingrained the image of his father unleashing Unpredictable Storm firmly into his mind. He had never met his father before, but from everything that his father had left to him, he could sense just how much love his father had for him.
Father, Mother, I\'ll definitely find you someday!
It was time to give himself a Douluo Title. Before he had obtained his ninth soul ring, he hadn\'t been a true Titled Douluo, but now, he had the right to attain a title.
Generally speaking, Douluo Titles were all related to one\'s martial soul. For example, Elder Long\'s martial soul was the Light and Darkness Holy Dragon, so she was known as the Light Dark Douluo.
In other cases, there were also Douluo Titles that combined one\'s martial soul and the name of their lover, such as Teacher Wu\'s Sky Ice Douluo Title, which combined the Skyfrost Sword and the name of Long Bing. [1]
His martial soul was the Bluesilver Emperor, but a lot of his power was derived from his Golden Dragon King bloodline. Furthermore, he had the power of the Sea God left to him by his father, and there was also an extremely important woman in his life.
Dragon Emperor Douluo? That title would cut her out. A Douluo Title could only contain two words, and that didn\'t seem to be enough for him.
His suit of three-word battle armor had been named Dragon Moon Song, and he already decided that when he attained a suit of four-word battle armor in the future, he would name it Golden Dragon Moon Song.
Seeing as his battle armor was already going to contain the words "Golden Dragon", then he would remove it from his Douluo Title. The Bluesilver Emperor had been inherited from his father, and Gu Yuena\'s martial soul was the Silver Dragon Emperor, so "silver" was something that he had to retain. Gu Yuena\'s name had three characters; if he were to use the moon part of her name, that wouldn\'t be very appropriate as such a Douluo Title already existed in the form of the Silver Moon Douluo, who was Elder Cai.
He began to stroke the Silver Dragon King scale hanging in front of his chest in an absentminded manner. This name was not easy to come up with!
He couldn\'t go with Silver Ancient Douluo; that simply didn\'t sound good! As the Tang Sect Master, he had to have a more grand and spectacular Douluo Title.
Gu Yue, can you give me a sign?
All of a sudden, the scale he was stroking tremored slightly, and a burst of faint spiritual fluctuations entered his mind, as if to resonate with his thoughts.
"My Douluo Title is Silver Qilin, and my four-word battle armor will be named Silver Dragon Dancing Qilin."
It was Gu Yue! She really was able to contact him through the scale!
Tang Wulin hurriedly injected his spiritual power into the scale to try and contact Gu Yuena, only to completely fail to detect any spiritual fluctuations.
This was so unfair! She could sense his thoughts, but he couldn\'t sense her at all.
A wry smile appeared on Tang Wulin\'s face, but at the same time, the message transmitted to him by Gu Yuena had struck him with a sense of inspiration.
Silver Dragon Dancing Qilin? That matched very well with his Golden Dragon Moon Song.
Her Douluo Title was Silver Qilin, which was Silver Dragon King combined with his name, so how about...
Tang Wulin had made a decision.
......
The giant metal pillars were slowly withdrawn, and after five days of rest and recuperation, the federal fleet had fully recovered.
All of the soldiers had outstanding recovery ability, and aside from some damaged items that couldn\'t be repaired, the federal fleet had maintained at least 90% of its peak condition.
Advance!
That was the order issued by Chen Xinjie. He was naturally aware that the Star Luo Empire had to have discovered the federal fleet already but so what? That didn\'t mean that the empire would be able to stop them.
The three fleets formed an enormous triangle with the three aircraft carriers at its core, and they sped toward the Star Luo Empire shoreline with all of their soul tools ready for battle.
"Commander, there are at least four corps of troops stationed on the Star Luo Empire coastline, as well as all types of large defensive soul tools."
"Commander, according to our sensory devices, the defensive capability of the Star Luo Empire shoreline exceeds our projections by 30%."
"Commander, there are no Star Luo Empire ships within a radius of 500 nautical miles."
"Commander, according to our thermal imaging devices, there are over 3,000 Star Luo Empire mechas situated on the shoreline; the grades of the mechas are still unknown."
A series of reports were being made to the control center, and Chen Xinjie merely listened without giving instructions, which meant that everything was to proceed as planned.
Things were going to be more troublesome now that the enemy was prepared. As for how much more troublesome, that would depend on how much power the Star Luo Empire had been able to muster up.
