'Damn it.' Tang Wulin bit on his lower lip, with frustration and resentment on his face.
He had gotten away from Xian Long and was on his way back to Wu Zhangkong and report the information he had gotten from the undead personally because his earpiece had fallen off earlier in his fight against the former.
But what he was currently feeling, was because the fact that he ran. He ran away.
He wanted to kill that undead bastard, but not only is he in a disadvantage with his current soul power reserves, but he was vastly outmatched against him in experience, cultivation and overall power.
He didn't like this, this feeling of powerlessness and helplessness of not being able to avenge the innocent people...
'Hold it in. Control your emotions.' Tang Wulin took a deep and calm breath in to restrain the bubbling anger that was about to burst. 'As long as I am alive, I can take my revenge against the bastard later on when I'm ready.'
Tang Wulin's feet quickly stepped on and off the concrete street in a zig-zag movement, dashing forward with incredible speed. He was like a phantom, moving at a speed that most would think a ghost had pass them by.
Thankfully he managed to take both the Soul Replenishing Pill and Stamina Restoration Pill to quickly replenish his soul power and stamina so he can move faster.
He was utilizing one of Tang Sect's secret techniques called, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.
Thanks to Tang Wulin's Blacksmith status as a rank 4 Grandmaster Blacksmith, and other noteworthy stuff, was enough to give him enough contribution points to select four secret techniques in Tang Sect.
Tang Sect started using a contribution point system. Disciples can earn contribution points by completing tasks issued by the sect. These tasks can ranging from crafting and designing to scouting and battling. They can use the points to acquire Tang Sect techniques and many other items as well as increase their contribution level. They can also sell items to the Tang Sect and trade with other sect members to get points.
His chosen sect techniques were: Mysterious Heaven Skill, Purple Demon Eye, Controlling Crane Catching Dragon, and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track.
Additionally, due to the current situation of the city, Tang Sect had allowed its members to do a loan, that would have them pay it within twenty years, so they can boost themselves with the items and resources in the sect to help in their fight in the city.
At first Tang Wulin didn't want to do a loan in the sect, his inner miser and stinginess crying out, as he saw the total amount of contribution points needed to pay for the items and other stuff Xiu Ye had personally picked for him. Just seeing the amount of zeroes was enough to make his eyes bleed; he knew that he couldn't pay that loan within a century! Much less twenty years...
And that wasn't even adding up with his friends as well! He saw the others' loans as well and....well, he had shut himself down for half an hour before he was woken up by Xiu Ye to start his training.
Gods, he just knows that his debt and his friends were the most in Tang Sect's Skysea City branch.
The only reason why he did take a loan was because of Xiu Ye, the others as well and Gu Yue's resources for her training was from his since she wasn't a Tang Sect member.
He swore to any divine being still out there. If Xiu Ye doesn't help him out of the debt he racked up, although it did help him with his growth as a Soul Master, he was going skewer him with Atlanna and multiple Blue Silver Spears.
What Tang Wulin didn't know, was that he didn't have to worry about his and his friends' debts since he was going to become the very sect he owed as its Sect Master.
Xiu Ye knew that, which is why he was going to milk everything this sector of Tang Sect had and didn't have to worry about paying back any debt he had.
As Tang Wulin passed through a four street crossing, his ears perked and eyes widened as he heard something coming from behind him–and it was fast!
Without even thinking, he turned around in midair with his left elbow going back, he curled the fingers of his right hand and clenched it into a fist. Golden scales suddenly appeared all over his entire right arm.
His dragonified arm started to exude so much aura of dominance, destruction and Yang Qi that it completely bursted the entire right, upper part of his clothing apart. The golden scales that covered a part of his body was revealed. It first completely covered his right arm, then the entire right part of his torso, and it spread up to the right part of his neck to his chin in a vertical sharp line.
Time seem to slow down in Tang Wulin's eyesight.
There was a bright golden light, suddenly shining around his body. Two golden colored soul rings appeared around his body and one of them suddenly shone with a bright golden light akin to a sun.
It was at this moment, that Tang Wulin suddenly remembered some words that Xiu Ye had once said to him by passing when he was helping him tempering his body.
'Wulin, I know you've been holding back your strength when you use your Golden Dragon King arm. I saw it during our boxing spar. You're afraid. Afraid of when you're using your bloodline power, you'll lose control and do something regrettable.'
'Although control of your power is expected for someone like you, it is not what you currently need with what is going to happen after this training. You need to use all of your strength. Let loose, Wulin. Let your anger, rage, sadness, vengeance, and other emotions you've been bottling up and channel it... through your fist.'
Tang Wulin's pupils turned red slits, red lightning flickered in his eyes. His blood boiled in pure utter rage and bloodlust that it made his blood darker. For a moment, his entire body was enveloped in a dark red miasma that radiated pure unadulterated killing intent.
'Let your Golden Dragon King out...and roar!'
Golden Dragon Body!

'Die!'
"Haaaaaaa!" Tang Wulin roared out.
He threw a fist and an open palm met it.
It resulted in an explosion of dust to appear, with both Tang Wulin and his opponent appearing out of the dust in opposite sides.
Tang Wulin let out a shaky breath as he stared at the dark purple armored person in front of him, floating in midair, with narrowed eyes. He felt his right arm being numb for a moment before he clenched his hand and channeled both his blood essence and soul power into it to dispell the numbness.
A flash of pride and dark pleasure flashed through his eyes when he noticed the armored person missing his entire left forearm, blood dripping from the missing limb.
It was Xian Long. And it looked like in that single exchange of blows between them, Tang Wulin had managed to cause a critical injury to him!
"You..." Xian Long muttered out in shock. Although he did held back his hand from fully attacking the boy, in fear of squashing his body into a blood mist, it was still enough to restrain a Soul King!
Yet, a mere Soul Grandmaster had actually managed to destroy his right arm? Even though its covered with a Two-word Battle Armor?!
Even a Soul Sage couldn't do that!
But what Xian Long didn't know, was that Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King Right Arm had a 'crushing' ability capable of crushing any hard objects. With his first blood soul ring in effect as well, and that malicious killing intent that boosted his power and lowering Xian Long's, it was expected that the latter's right forearm and part of his Battle Armor on it would be crushed.
'I knew that he was physically strong, more than his soul power cultivation by two whole realms, but to deal this much damage is just insane! Also, what was with that killing intent of his?! It was too malicious!'
Xian Long then noticed something peculiar about Tang Wulin, making his eyes widened in disbelief.
'What the?! Are those two golden soul rings; one million year old soul rings?!'
It was widely known in this world that soul rings are divided into several colors and age.
A white colored soul ring equals to a ten year old soul ring; a yellow one equals to a hundred year old soul ring; purple equals to a thousand years old soul ring; black equals to a ten thousand year old soul ring; red equals to a hundred thousand year old soul ring; and orange equals to more than a hundred thousand year old soul ring.
And a golden colored soul ring, equals to a million year old soul ring from a one million year old soul beast.
It is a known fact that it was impossible for someone in the current era to have a golden colored soul ring. Why?
Because those soul beasts with a million year old cultivation, has the strength equalling a god.
And currently, no human in this era has the strength to go against one.
But in the past, there were two widely known individuals who has a golden colored soul ring.
Tang San and Huo Yuhao.
The strongest in their respective generation and both having ascended to godhood in their legends.
'Could, could this boy have the potential to reach godhood? Would he become the third human in history be immortalized as a legend?' Xian Long gulped. No wonder his leader wanted to kidnapped the boy than killing him. He must have known his potential and wanted to eat him to grow stronger....
He licked his lips, 'But, what if I ate him myself? Wouldn't I finally be free? Wouldn't I gain the strength to rebel against those bastards? Wouldn't I become....a god?' He smirked evilly under his helm as he rose his armless limb up and, in a split second; a brand new, pale skinned, perfect forearm burst out of the stump.
Tang Wulin felt a shiver run down his spine as he saw Xian Long easily regrow his armless limb back in perfect condition.
'Ah shit!'
