Chapter 49

As the Light Dragon Dagger pierced through, Xie Xie had held back his strength. In his view, if he had attacked with full force, he could have directly severed Tang Wulin's arm. But since the two of them had no deep-seated grudge, giving him a lesson was enough.

However, to his surprise, Tang Wulin's shoulder muscles were extremely tough. Despite the sharpness of the Light Dragon Dagger, it only penetrated an inch. Although this was the result of him holding back, it was still enough to shock anyone.

Blood spurted out, and the intense pain made Tang Wulin lose control of the Blue Silver Grass he was retracting, causing it to fall to the ground.

The Light Dragon Dagger pressed down, and Tang Wulin almost knelt. He staggered but still managed to stand, trying to punch Xie Xie. Xie Xie suddenly circled around to his back, and the Light Dragon Dagger turned slightly on his shoulder, causing Tang Wulin to feel a wave of weakness throughout his body, especially the sharp energy from the dagger that ruthlessly oppressed his soul power.

"Do you admit defeat!" Xie Xie's voice was filled with a hint of satisfaction. He had finally avenged the punch from yesterday.

Tang Wulin gritted his teeth, his stubbornness preventing him from admitting defeat.

At that moment, the intense pain in his shoulder seemed to ignite his body, and a wave of heat surged from deep within him, spreading throughout his body. He wanted to say something but found himself unable to speak.

"I asked you, do you admit defeat!" Xie Xie pressed the dagger down, speaking fiercely.

"No!" Tang Wulin almost roared, but his voice was clearly strained.

Xie Xie was taken aback. He didn't think he had pierced too deeply, so why was his reaction so desperate? Instinctively, he wanted to pull the Light Dragon Dagger out.

But at that moment, something unexpected happened.

The Light Dragon Dagger, which had pierced into Tang Wulin's shoulder, suddenly emitted a somewhat shrill dragon cry. Xie Xie felt a sudden chill run through his body, as if he had encountered something particularly terrifying.

At the point where the Light Dragon Dagger had pierced, the blood suddenly stopped, and a golden light began to seep out. The Light Dragon Dagger was gradually pushed out by the golden light.

Faced with this unknown situation, Xie Xie's first thought was to pull back and retreat. But he was horrified to find that the Light Dragon Dagger was as if glued in place, and he couldn't pull it out even if he wanted to.

"Ahh—" A roar that shook the surroundings erupted from Tang Wulin's mouth, and the Light Dragon Dagger was instantly expelled from the wound.

The last thing Xie Xie saw was a golden glow. The next moment, he felt as if he had been hit head-on by a high-speed soul train. His vision went black, and he knew nothing more.

"Bang—" Xie Xie crashed into a tree far away and slid down slowly.

Tang Wulin knelt on the ground, his eyes still bloodshot, and his entire body was trembling violently. At that moment, he felt as if he were a metal being forged in a furnace, with the intense heat surging within him causing his body to tremble.

But his mind was still clear. At least when he threw that punch, he had held back at the last moment. Otherwise, he was quite sure that Xie Xie would have been incapacitated by that punch.

Looking down, he was surprised to see that his right hand was covered with fine scales.

They were golden scales. The scales were diamond-shaped, each slightly raised, giving them a distinct edge. The fingers were narrower at the tips, and the nails had grown longer and sharper, like claws.

The small grass snake spirit that had been wrapped around his wrist was now glowing with a faint golden light, and its body had swollen by a full circle. Its small eyes had turned red, like glowing rubies.

Is it you? You're not a useless spirit? What's going on?

Tang Wulin quickly took off his shirt and was shocked to see that not only his hand but his entire right arm, from the point where the Light Dragon Dagger had pierced to his hand, was covered with golden scales.

This arm gave him an indescribable sense of power.

He subconsciously swung his right arm, and "Boom!"

His right fist struck the air, and a golden light surged out, forming a vague dragon head shape in the air. The golden light extended for a meter, and the powerful aura left no doubt about the effect of this all-out punch if it hit someone.

"Golden light, is this the power you've given me?" Tang Wulin looked at the small grass snake on his wrist with a mix of surprise and joy.

But at that moment, the small grass snake's swollen body gradually shrank, and the scales on his arm and the changes in his hand quickly faded. In just a few breaths, everything returned to normal. A wave of indescribable fatigue followed, and Tang Wulin felt his vision go black as he fainted.

He hadn't had time to put his clothes back on, and the golden grid-like light pattern that had appeared before reappeared, especially the pattern on his spine, which was particularly prominent.

...

Xie Xie woke up in a daze, his mind still a bit fuzzy, and the surroundings were vaguely changing. He instinctively looked up and saw a familiar face.

When he looked up again, he saw the gate of Donghai Academy.

By now, it was already dark, and the characters "Donghai Academy" were clearly visible under the lights.

"Uru uru..." Xie Xie tried to speak but found himself making strange sounds.

Tang Wulin frowned and asked the Xie Xie he was carrying on his back, "What did you say?"

"What's wrong?" Xie Xie's voice was still muffled.

As his consciousness gradually cleared, he realized that he was being carried on Tang Wulin's back. He instinctively raised his hand to touch his face and felt it was swollen like bread, already numb and thick.

The events that had transpired gradually flooded his mind, and he remembered the words he had said to Tang Wulin when they left Donghai Academy.

"We'll go to Donghai Park; there are fewer people there. Don't worry, I'll find someone to treat you if I injure you."

But now...

Spending 24,000 to get a beating...

Xie Xie, I'm sorry... cough, cough.
