Chapter 79

Gu Yue's face turned slightly red, but Tang Wulin had already rushed forward. This time, he swung both of his heavy silver hammers, smashing them towards the Light Dragon.

The Light Dragon sneered and met the hammers with his fists, delivering a direct frontal blow.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Tang Wulin, using the momentum of his leap and the added power of the dual hammers, was still sent flying by the powerful impact. He let out a muffled groan, blood trickling from his nose and mouth.

Xie Xie reacted quickly this time, rushing to Tang Wulin's back to try and support him.

However, he underestimated the force of the impact. Under the powerful thrust, both of them tumbled to the ground like rolling tumbleweeds.

This was a sheer display of brute force.

The Light Dragon shook his arms but did not pursue. Instead, he looked around at the onlookers, "Did you see that? This is what happens to those who dare to resist. These little guys are soul masters, but they are far from my level. Anyone who dares to resist, be careful, or I'll tear you apart with my Ironclad Dragon Claws."

"Ouch, Xie Xie, your Light Dragon Dagger pierced me." Tang Wulin, lying on the ground, cried out in pain.

Xie Xie tried to catch him but was knocked away. He had no control over his body, and the Light Dragon Dagger in his hand cut a gash on Tang Wulin's back.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Xie Xie was also dazed from the collision.

Gu Yue ran to their side, ready to release some water elements to help Tang Wulin treat his external injuries. Suddenly, she felt a strange aura emanating from Tang Wulin.

It was hot! Tang Wulin's body trembled slightly, a burning sensation spreading from the wound on his back, almost instantly covering his entire body.

The long-forgotten burning sensation reappeared, traveling from his coccyx to his brain. His entire body felt like a bonfire that had been ignited, instantly releasing intense heat. The chest tightness he felt when he was hit by the Light Dragon disappeared completely.

The soul power within Tang Wulin's body also began to boil. He felt slightly dazed, but his strength was increasing at an astonishing rate, as if he were filled with boundless hatred for the sky and the earth.

He subconsciously looked at his right hand. Indeed, golden scales were emerging from the back of his hand, and his entire right arm was trembling slightly, as if electrified. The immense power came from his right hand.

The golden scales, they were the same as last time.

After several months, just when Tang Wulin was about to forget the golden scales, they appeared again, and at such a crucial moment.

With a low growl, Tang Wulin jumped up and charged straight at the Light Dragon.

Xie Xie, unable to hold him back, shouted, "Wulin, don't go."

Gu Yue, however, remained silent. She clearly saw the golden scales emerging on the side of Tang Wulin's neck. Her eyes were fixed, wondering what this was...

The Light Dragon was bellowing arrogantly when he suddenly saw Tang Wulin charging at him again, this time with only one hammer. He sneered, "Brat, you're pretty tough! If you weren't a kid, I'd crush you." He swung a palm directly at Tang Wulin's heavy silver hammer.

But at that moment, the Light Dragon's entire body trembled. He clearly saw a flash of gold in Tang Wulin's eyes. In that instant, Tang Wulin's pupils turned into cold, vertical slits. An indescribable feeling quickly spread through the Light Dragon's body, making him feel as if he were about to collapse.

"Bang!" The massive body of the Light Dragon was sent flying by Tang Wulin's hammer. The onlookers could clearly hear the sound of his arm bones breaking.

Two of the Light Dragon's subordinates tried to catch him but ended up tumbling to the ground like Xie Xie had earlier.

Tang Wulin looked at his right hand in surprise. The golden scales had completely covered his palm, and claws had appeared. His entire arm gave him a strange, burning sensation.

Compared to last time, this time he felt much more clearly. He could clearly sense that his soul power was disappearing at an astonishing rate.

Quickly dispel! He silently chanted in his mind.

A strange scene unfolded. The newly grown golden scales quickly dimmed, then turned into points of light and silently merged into his arm, disappearing. The burning sensation in his body also began to subside.

From the appearance of the golden scales to their disappearance, it took no more than ten seconds. But Tang Wulin's soul power was almost completely drained. The only improvement from last time was that he did not fall into a coma due to the depletion.

His arm felt sore and heavy, as if he couldn't lift it. Tang Wulin felt a bit confused. If the appearance of the golden scales last time could have been a hallucination, then this time, such a vivid sensation could not be explained by a hallucination.

"You, you used that power again?" Xie Xie, who had followed him out, saw Tang Wulin send the Light Dragon flying with one hammer and the golden scales on his hand.

Not only did the Light Dragon feel fear at that moment, but Xie Xie also felt it. The scales on Tang Wulin's body seemed to have a special magic, intimidating and terrifying.

Tang Wulin smiled bitterly, "I don't know what's happening. Hey, where are they?"

When he looked for the Light Dragon again, he and his two subordinates had vanished without a trace. At this moment, the crowd surged forward, and some of the people who ran shops on the snack street helped Uncle Li set up the stove and clean up the mess.

"That bastard, he ran without compensation." Xie Xie said angrily.

"Your hand..." Gu Yue looked at Tang Wulin hesitantly.

Tang Wulin smiled bitterly, "I don't know what's happening. This is the second time it's appeared. The scales rapidly drain my physical strength and soul power, but they give me immense power for a short time. That's all I know."

"Let's go back and talk about it."

The three of them said goodbye to Uncle Li. Xie Xie quietly slipped some money into Uncle Li's pocket before they quickly ran back towards the academy.

"Will that guy take revenge on Uncle Li?" Gu Yue asked Xie Xie.

Xie Xie replied, "He shouldn't have that ability for now. His arm was broken by Wulin. Besides, this is a snack street. Even if he collects protection money, he can't go too far. I'll have my family keep an eye on that area. It should be fine."
