Golden Dragon Tang Wulin part2

Chapter 603 - Nine-ringed Silver Blade

“Fantastic!” Tang Wulin’s exclamation drew gazes from their surroundings.

Gu Yue’s smile grew into a full-fledged grin. It wouldn’t be a lie to say she loved that happy expression of his.

The streets surrounding the stadium were packed with people, with many streets sealed off due to necessity. Gu Yue and Tang Wulin barely managed to enter the competitors’ area after having their badges scanned.

The moment they stepped foot into the stadium, the electric atmosphere came at them from all directions. The heated shouts of the spectators crashed upon his ears like raging waves, drowning out anything less than yelling right beside him.

This was the cheering of three hundred thousand people!

Numerous stages were set up within the stadium, each equipped with a special soul barrier to prevent the battles from affecting one another.

When Tang Wulin first caught sight of these stages, his eyes shone with glee. The individual competition had no rules and competitors were free to use whatever they had at their disposal. The competition required signing a death waiver after all. Although fatalities were rare, it was impossible for the referees to always intervene in time. This would be Tang Wulin’s first time participating in such a competition.

Very few competitors used mechas for the preliminary rounds. Due to the fact that fifty arenas were set up in the stadium, each arena only amounted to about fifty meters in diameter. Maneuvering a mecha in such limited space would prove difficult.

However, Tang Wulin saw many people equipped with an assortment of soul devices. Those technological marvels were shiny gadgets in his eyes, utterly dazzling.

“Damn! I’m super pumped for this now! Gu Yue, are you sure you don’t wanna participate?” Tang Wulin asked. She had registered long ago, so she could still change her mind.

Gu Yue shook her head. “I’m not interested. I’m fine with just the duos with you.”

“Alright then.” Tang Wulin took out his electronic badge and looked up his information. He still had about half an hour before his first match. The only information he had about his opponent was their number: 631.

“I wonder what my opponent will be like,” Tang Wulin said, a smile on his lips.

“No matter who they are, they won’t be able to stop you,” said Gu Yue. “Good luck. I might not be able to become one of the Shrek Seven Monsters, but you definitely can. Don’t underestimate your opponent though. Remember what we heard from those Imperial Star Luo Academy people? The most powerful academy in the Star Luo Empire is Monster Academy, and they’re heavily influenced by Shrek. You’ll be in trouble too if you meet any battle armor masters.”

Tang Wulin nodded. “Don’t worry. I have a plan.”

Time passed quickly and Tang Wulin’s number was called up onto the stage. He waved to Gu Yue as he left for stage 33. As he climbed up, the coincidence of being competitor 333 on stage 33 made him feel lucky!

Once he stood on stage, he was floored by the immense pressure of hundreds of thousands of gazes, all converging on him. A completely different feeling from when he was still waiting for his turn. The spotlights dazzled him. The crowd shouted with enthusiasm, their voices reverberating like a roaring wave. Even the most steadfast competitor would be swept up in the mood of the crowd, blood racing.

Thousands of years ago, there was also a tournament like this on Douluo.

Amidst the shouts of the crowd, a person climbed onto the side of the stage opposite of Tang Wulin. This was undoubtedly his opponent, competitor number 631.
