Douluo Dalu - The Story Of Sheng Feilong

Sheng Feilong stood in front of Gu Yue and deactivated his third Soul Skill . Gu Yue had just been hit by his mental attack and was still out of it; She would probably need a few moments to regain her focus .

He waited patiently for her to return back to normal, observing her cautiously in the process . Sitting in a normal chair, Sheng Feilong then asked her a question as soon as she seemed to be back to normal . "Who are you really? What"s your connection with Netherworld Putrefaction Demons?"

Gu Yue gnashed her teeth . She hadn"t expected that Sheng Feilong would act like he did . For any normal Soul King, the deterrent effect of a peak Soul Douluo would have been enough to shut them up and get them to do your bidding .

She didn"t include the fact that he was connected to multiple t.i.tled Douluo"s into the equation and made a fatal mistake . Moreover, she had never expected that Sheng Feilong would be able to suppress her so easily with his Spirit Power; Although they were both at the Spirit Abyss Realm, he was much, much stronger than Gu Yue estimated .

Knowing that she wasn"t able to defeat him with her current strength, Gu Yue had no other choice but to remain here . Still, she didn"t answer Sheng Feilong"s question and only hatefully stared at him, hiding any change in expression from him .

Sheng Feilong stared down at her for a moment before he spoke up again . "Not talking? Who would"ve guessed . . . " Both of them remained quiet again . Sheng Feilong was silently thinking about everything he knew about Gu Yue, trying to remember anything he could use to make her speak .

His thoughts spun into all directions, but from what he remembered, Gu Yue was actually quite mysterious, even among their circle of friends . Some time ago, Tang Wulin and the others mentioned how they met each other at their Intermediate Academy . Tang Wulin and Xie Xie were cla.s.smates while Gu Yue suddenly appeared when they were training, seemingly from nowhere .

They didn"t know where she came from, but quickly became friends with her as she was the only one who"s talent was on par with theirs . Moreover, she seemed to really like Tang Wulin from the get go . However, she never mentioned where she came from .

Later, it turned out that Gu Yue is the personal disciple of the Spirit PaG.o.da"s Vice-PaG.o.da Master, Heavenly Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu . Again, something no one knew beforehand . The plan formulating in Sheng Feilong"s head slowly pieced itself together .

He stared into Gu Yue"s eyes, slowly speaking in a light tone . "You seem to have quite a few secrets yourself, don"t you? No one, not even your "friends", know where you are from . You just suddenly appeared and coincidentally became their friend . . . "

Gu Yue"s expression still didn"t change . She remained quiet, staring at Sheng Feilong with the same hateful gaze as before . He wasn"t bothered by this and continued talking in a light-hearted manner . "From the get go, you got surprisingly close to Tang Wulin . If one didn"t know you, one could even think that that was intentional . "

Gu Yue"s expression didn"t change, but her gaze was not only hateful but also had a certain cold touch to it . It seemed like that last sentence had an effect . Sheng Feilong internally smiled and made a mental note, then decided to try something similar . "Hm . . . The most interesting thing about Tang Wulin is by far his dragon type blood line . It"s incredibly strong and potent moreover, it seems to continuously grow and strengthen itself as he gets stronger . Surely, that"s something many people would covet . "

This time, Sheng Feilong"s words. .h.i.t home . Gu Yue"s expression finally changed, sinking considerably . Her eyes ever so slightly shook for a short moment; Something Sheng Feilong didn"t miss and he knew he was on the right track . "As you already know, I"m the descendant of a 100 . 000-years-old Three-Eyed Golden Lion . Evil Soul Master"s were really interested in that . Moreover, many of them practise ominous blood arts to strengthen themselves . Tang Wulin would be a perfect target for such people, don"t you think?"

Gu Yue furiously tried to calm herself in order to not give Sheng Feilong any information . Sheng Feilong, of course, noticed that . And he also noticed that something like this happened every time he mentioned Tang Wulin . "I have to think outside the box . . . What more can I say about Tang Wulin . . . "

Both of them stared at each other in silence for a while longer . Gu Yue gradually managed to calm down again, but that"s exactly what Sheng Feilong had been waiting for . He smiled lightly and continued his monologue in a light-hearted tone . "That old man who was with you, who was he? Certainly, he wasn"t from the Spirit PaG.o.da . His aura and Soul Power were surprisingly heavy; Something that you normally only see from soldiers who have gone through many life and death situations . In other words, people who have killed a lot . "

This time, Gu Yue"s expression didn"t change . She didn"t seem to be bothered by this partner of hers at all and remained perfectly calm . This, however, was within Sheng Feilong"s expectations . "If I had to make a bold guess, I"d say he isn"t a soldier; He seemed more likely to be an evil Soul Master . But . . . he called you "young Lady", didn"t he? I wonder what kind of relationship the two of you have? Though I guess you"re some kind of big shot?"

Again, no changes . Sheng Feilong sighed lightly and his relaxed expression turned into a serious one . "Let"s get serious . If he"s an evil Soul Master and calls you "young Lady", that means you"re one as well and you stand above him in status . I a.s.sume you"re after Tang Wulin"s blood; Something so powerful, you guys wouldn"t want to miss out on it, right?"

He paused for a moment, looking at Gu Yue"s expression only to see her stare at him with a grave face and dagger like stare . Sheng Feilong continued in the same serious tone . "The Netherworld Putrefaction Demon is able to suppress evil and dark Spirit Essences with ease as shown during the tournament . You were heavily affected by it . You fear it"s power . So, tell me; What is it that you know exactly? How much do you know about it"s origin and powers?"

Sheng Feilong had just finished when a familiar voice came from behind him . "So it was like that . . . Really a good theory, Feilong . " Sheng Feilong didn"t even have to turn around to know who it was . Gu Yue"s grave and lightly shaking expression were enough for him to know . He turned his head around, lightly smiling . "Welcome back, Master . Did you have a nice trip?"

Behind him, coming in through the window, was She Meixiao . Her expression was extremely cold when she stared at Gu Yue, but Sheng Feilong"s greeting made her smile lightly . "It was quite refreshing . Though it"s a shame that old man was able to flee . I actually lost him in the forest . His Spirit Essence seems to be quite peculiar . "

Her gaze wandered to Gu Yue, who was obviously distressed by She Meixiao"s appearance, and she smiled thoughtfully . "Hm . . . So this little rat doesn"t want to speak?" Sheng Feilong lightly shook his head in response and She Meixiao continued . "Rats ned to be treated right; You need to lay a trap and bait them with something nice . "

Gu Yue"s expression sank; She would"ve never expected to be treated like that by She Meixiao . However, the latter didn"t mind her at all and turned to Sheng Feilong with a light smile . "Feilong, call Tang Wulin and ask him to come over . Maybe he can elaborate on a thing or two . "

Sheng Feilong was a bit surprised . He didn"t do anything like that in the first place because he thought it would be better to keep this matter a secret, but She Meixiao seemed to have a plan . Moreover, judging from Gu Yue"s distressed expression and shaking body, involving Tang Wulin was the easiest way to make her talk .

Sheng Feilong went outside for a moment while She Meixiao created a sound isolating barrier inside the room and waited inside with Gu Yue . Luckily, Tang Wulin was still awake and Sheng Feilong"s call got through without problem . He asked Tang Wulin to come over because he had something important to speak about and waited in the hallway .

Half a minute pa.s.sed and Sheng Feilong saw Tang Wulin jog over to his room . Greeting him with a light wave, he turned towards the door and spoke with a light voice . "Keep calm about what you"ll see soon . Nothing bad"s gonna happen, so you don"t need to lose your cool . "

"What do you mean? Don"t tell me you stole something?" Tang Wulin made a light joke, but seeing Sheng Feilong serious expression, he quickly kept quiet and nodded meaningfully . Sheng Feilong then opened the door and went inside . Following closely behind him, Tang Wulin closed the door and soon saw She Meixiao standing in the room with a small smile on her face .

Tang Wulin was surprised to see her at first and was about to bow, when he suddenly froze . Sheng Feilong had moved to the side a bit and so Tang Wulin could see Gu Yue . She was kneeling on the ground, shaking lightly and bleeding from the nose, eyes and mouth . Tang Wulin instantly turned to ferociously glare at Sheng Feilong and She Meixiao . "What have you done to her? What"s the meaning of this?!"
