Lan Fuozi soul power fluctuations gradually subsided, and the blue halos around him were drawn back into his body. Everything quickly returned to normal, and his thin yet handsome face was revealed once again.
"Are you a Sea Soul Master, Your Majesty?"
In the world of Soul Masters, power was everything, so the judge was immediately speaking to Lan Fuozi in a more respectful manner after sensing his t.i.tled Douluo level aura.
Lan Fuozi nodded in response.
The judge continued, "Please forgive me, but I was unable to identify what your martial soul is; would you be able to enlighten us?"
Lan Fuozi hesitated momentarily before replying, "My martial soul is Vortex."
Vortex? Turbocharge? Tang Wulin"s brows furrowed slightly upon hearing this. It seemed that Lan Fuozi wasn"t telling the complete truth.
With his immense Spirit Domain realm spiritual power, he was able to sense many minute things that others couldn"t.
Right when Lan Fuozi had released his martial soul, a faint sense of ferocity had emanated from his body. This type of aura was something that only beast martial souls could possess, but a vortex would be an elemental tool martial soul, so where had that ferocious aura come from?
This meant that Lan Fuozi most likely possessed a beast martial soul, but he was able to hide it very well.
In any case, it was undoubtedly the case that he was astonis.h.i.+ngly powerful.
After a brief discussion, the judges gave him a perfect score.
Lan Fuozi"s reported age was only 25, so the fact that he was already a t.i.tled Douluo immediately made him one of the favorites for this joust for a spouse event.
Tang Wulin naturally came after Lan Fuozi, and after glancing at his registration form, the expressions of all of the judges had clearly changed slightly.
The judge that was sitting at the very center of the panel said, "Greetings, Your Majesty; please release your martial soul."
According to the registration form, Tang Wulin was Yu Longyue of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and he had recently become a t.i.tled Douluo. He was slightly younger than even Lan Fuozi, and most importantly, he was from one of the most ancient and most powerful Soul Master families!
If his martial soul really were the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, then he would definitely receive a perfect score.
t.i.tled Douluos were definitely going to be the favorites during this event, particularly when they were as young as the likes of Lan Fuozi and Tang Wulin.
Tang Wulin stood with his hands clasped behind his back with a proud look on his face. All of a sudden, scintillating lightning erupted from his body, following which a layer of bluish-purple scales appeared over his skin. At the same time, a bluish-purple giant dragon projection appeared behind him; it was none other than the legendary Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!
This was a product that Tang Wulin had created by combining his Golden Dragon King bloodline, Tyrant Dragon soul spirit, and Infernal Lightning Vine. Even a true member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan may not be able to identify that Tang Wulin"s martial soul was fake, let alone these judges.
On top of that, the aura that he had displayed was far more powerful than that of the average Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul, indicating that he was definitely a t.i.tled Douluo.
On this occasion, the judges didn"t even hold a discussion before giving him a perfect score.
Lan Fuozi was naturally waiting for him at the exit, and as soon as Tang Wulin emerged, he immediately asked, "Do you really like the Silver Dragon Princess?"
Tang Wulin asked, "Why do you ask?"
A wry smile appeared on Lan Fuozi"s face. "I was thinking that if you"re only here for the prizes, then perhaps I could somehow bribe you into dropping out of the event; I really don"t want to face an opponent like you. I"m not scared of you, of course; I"m just concerned that my chances of being selected by the Silver Dragon Princess in the end would be diminished with too much compet.i.tion."
Tang Wulin asked, "What about you? What did you come here for?"
Lan Fuozi replied without any hesitation, "I"m here for Gu Yuena, of course. I fell in love with her the first time I saw her; never has any woman enraptured me as much as she has. I"m taking her no matter what; if you become my opponent, I"m going to fight with all my power, so you better be prepared!"
Tang Wulin smiled, and replied, "Looks like we"re bound to be rivals then; my love for her runs far deeper than yours."
He was putting on a slightly arrogant display, but his words were nothing but the heartfelt truth.
Lan Fuozi harrumphed coldly, "You are indeed very powerful, but you"re no match for me! I hope we get matched up in the elimination matches so you won"t even get a chance to progress to the top 10."
Tang Wulin replied in an indifferent voice, "Let"s move on to the next examination. If you encounter me in the elimination matches, then I can only offer you my condolences in advance."
All of a sudden, the atmosphere between the two of them had become very tense, and Lan Fuozi completely ignored Tang Wulin as he walked on ahead.
There was no line at the fifth examination, perhaps due to how slowly the fourth examination was progressing.
The fifth examination was a very traditional test of spiritual power.
Spiritual power was one of the most important parameters for a Soul Master"s cultivation, and after arriving at the examination site, Tang Wulin and Lan Fuozi immediately figured out why there was no line outside.
There were a total of 20 metal helmets, so 20 people could be tested at the same time; it was no surprise that this examination was progressing far quicker than the previous one.
Tang Wulin and Lan Fuozi arrived in front of two empty helmets, and the helmets were fitted onto their heads by a pair of workers.
"Once you receive the signal, release your spiritual power, and the result will automatically be recorded."
"Alright," Lan Fuozi replied, while Tang Wulin remained silent.
Soon, the electronic voice rang out. "Please begin."
Tang Wulin had only just begun to release his spiritual power when he suddenly sensed a very different aura being released by Lan Fuozi.
He was at the Spirit Domain realm?
Tang Wulin was quite astonished by this discovery. Not only did Lan Fuozi possess a very lofty cultivation rank, even his spiritual power had also reached the Spirit Domain realm.
He had never heard of anyone so close to his own age that was also a t.i.tled Douluo at the Spirit Domain Realm.
One had to realize that attaining Spirit Domain realm spiritual power was even more difficult than becoming t.i.tled Douluo for the vast majority of Soul Masters, so this was very incredible to Tang Wulin.
After a brief moment of astonishment, Tang Wulin followed his original plan and only released his spiritual power to the above-average range of the Spirit Abyss realm before stopping.
It was far too astonis.h.i.+ng for someone of his age to possess Spirit Domain realm spiritual power, and he didn"t want to attract too much attention at this point.
However, Lan Fuozi was clearly very compet.i.tive and released his Spirit Domain realm spiritual power to its full extent.
Tang Wulin couldn"t help but wonder if Lan Fuozi had also attained a spiritual domain.
"Beep!"
The examination was complete, and the metal helmets were automatically lifted while a pair of workers made their way toward them with bewilderment in their eyes.
Exactly who were these two people? One of them was at the Spirit Abyss realm while the other was at the Spirit Domain realm! Even in the Spirit PaG.o.da, there weren"t that many people who had reached the Spirit Abyss realm, let alone the Spirit Domain realm.
Up to this point, there wasn"t even a single partic.i.p.ant who had displayed Spirit Abyss realm spiritual power, yet these two had both reached that standard.
Spirit Abyss realm spiritual was already enough for a perfect score, and no one had antic.i.p.ated that any of the partic.i.p.ants would be at the Spirit Domain realm, so that was also a perfect score of 10.
