Shock!
They were all stunned. Through their very eyes, they witness a terrifying scene that was extremely shocking.
How could this youth who wasn't even in his twenties and just a Soul Sage be so powerful? He forced back a Limit Douluo Spiritual Domain with his might!
One has to understand the difference between a Soul Sage, and a Limit Douluo is too vast to even comprehend. Even if thousands of Soul Sage were to team up, they would still be nothing more than ants toward a Limit Douluo.
Especially if that Limit Douluo was one of the few Quasi God who walks the world unrestrained and freely.
What did a Quasi God represent?
The Peak!
Strength!
Freedom!
And this wasn't just any Limit Douluo but the Hall Master of the War God Temple and The Regimental Commander the Sea God Army's. Chen Xinjie!
His statues were by no means any lower than even the Sea God Pavilion Master, Yun Ming. Yet not only could he not suppress a youth who was a Soul Sage but instead could only evenly clash with him.
With all of this, how could they all not be shocked and stunned into silence! The people inside the meeting room felt they might never see such a thing ever again!
While everyone was feeling this, Yun Ming could only sigh. At the same time didn't feel it was too much of a shock for Tang Wulin to be able to do this.
'If his plan is going to work, then he at least needs to be able to this much.' Thought Yun Ming while inwardly nodding his head.
Similarly, Xie Xie wasn't too shocked, as he recalled Wulin being able to resist the might of the Demon Monarch Alaba. Also with the Jade Dragon King telling him more about his boss and how terrifying he was.
Still, he was a bit surprised he was able to resist the Boundless Sea Douluo without breaking a sweat or without his expression changing.
'To think he could stop, Chen.' Thought Guan Yue who was a middle-aged man that was glancing at Tang Wulin and Chen Xinjie in amus_e_m_e_nt.
As Tang Wulin made it to the front of the table where Yun Ming was, they both glance at each other before nodding their heads.
"Alright, I have something to say." Said Yun Ming causing everyone to break out of their thoughts and focus on him.
Yet they still glance at Tang Wulin who was still staring forward with a blank expression. Most of them couldn't help but silently praise him.
If they didn't know any better, they would have thought this was Yun Ming's second disciple or even his real one. But of course, they have heard or gotten reports about Na'er and know how much of a monster she was.
When they all founded out that Yun Ming disciple was a Soul Douluo before the age of Seventeen, to say they were shock would be an understatement. One has to understand that no one, not even the legendary figures Huo Yuhao and Tang San was able to reach such a stage while that young.
They knew if nothing happened to Yun Ming Disciple, then she will likely join the ranks of the few Quasi Gods and may even take the Title of the Strongest. That had been their thinking before they met another monster here, who seems to be even more abnormal than her.
"This young man's name is Tang Wulin, I invited him here." Said Yun Ming causing the people inside of the room to inwardly roll their eyes.
'You couldn't tell us this before!'
"Why was he invited?" Questioned Chen Xinjie who already went back to his seat but was looking at Tang Wulin with a gleam in his eyes.
'This old man...' Thought Yun Ming as he could already guess what he might try later.
"None of your business." Said Long Yeyue without even glancing at Chen Xinjie.
"Yeyue..."
Long Yeyue didn't glance or respond to the Boundless Sea Douluo Chen Xinjie. Xie Xie began to slightly arch a brow as he felt things weren't simple between them.
Then he glances at the person sitting next to Chen Xinjie before his eyes widen in shock.
'Isn't that the Vice-Hall Master of the War God Temple! The Transcending Sky Douluo, Guan Yue.' Thought Xie Xie in shock and excitement as seeing such a legend.
Although his cultivation base may be weaker than the likes of Yun Ming and Chen Xinjie as Guan Yue hasn't broken through to become a Quasi-God. His strenght more than makes up for it, as with just spearmanship, he could easily contend with the others.
"His presence has to do with the whole Douluo Continent." Said Yali softly towards Long Yeyue and everyone in the room.
"What do you mean exactly?" Questioned Qiangu Dongfeng who was tapping the table softly since the beginning of the meeting.
"I'm here to use all of you to help kill the Calamities." Said Tang Wulin before Yun Ming or Yali could respond to Qiangu Dongfeng.
'Boss!' Thought Xie Xie as inwardly began to cry as he swore he could feel and see the shocked look of everyone but Yun Ming and Yali that were present.
But he couldn't blame them as if he didn't know Wulin as much he did now he would be as shocked or even more than them. Unlike the other people in the room, Xie Xie knew the history between Wulin and those calamities.
The whole room descended into silence after the shocking words of Tang Wulin before instantly before an unimaginable pressure descends upon Tang Wulin.
"Boy!"
"You dare speak such nonsense!"
"Just what-"
Multiple people began shouting and cursing as their aura began erupting outwards, with some of them being aimed at Tang Wulin. But before the pressure and suppression could touch Tang Wulin, an aura of green-gold erupted from next to him and shield him.
"You dare!" Shouted the Holy Spirit Douluo Yali as she coldly glared at the people in front of her. It wasn't just her but Long Yeyue and the other Sea God Pavilion members unleashing their own.
She recognizes their shock and points of view when it comes to Tang Wulin's words. After all, how could they accept the joking words of a Soul Sage who hasn't even fought or even seen the Calamities for himself?
Even then! Yali would never overlook them for trying to pressure him or using their cultivation on him.
'I need to beat up Chen Xinjie later.' Thought Yali before glaring at Chen Xinjie who slightly flinch at the Holy Spirit Douluo.
The only reason why she wasn't able to defend Tang Wulin from Chen Xinjie Spiritual Domain was because of Yun Ming stopping her and Chen Xinjie doing it so suddenly. After she was done with Chen Xinjie, she and Yun Ming are going to have some words.
As the aura began clashing with each other, cracks and fissures began forming all around the room that was shaking endlessly. If nothing was done soon, the whole room will explode and be destroyed from just these Soul Master intent.
"Alright, stop." Said Yun Ming as he unleashed his aura causing all of the other aura to be swept away and also slightly push back everyone.
'Amazing!' Thought Xie Xie in shock as he saw how easily the Atlas Douluo was able to sweep away everyone aura and bring the clash to the end.
Of course, he knew they weren't all serious but that still didn't take away from the fact that Yun Ming might be truly something to be feared.
"Before you all complain or be unreasonable. Listen to his explanation first." Said Yun Ming with a tired sigh as he sits down.
"Since you are so calm, I assume you already know of his plan and approve?" Questioned Qiangu Dongfeng who was one of the people who unleash his aura on Tang Wulin and Xie Xie.
"Yes." Said Yun Ming causing Qiangu Dongfeng to furrow his brow but nod his head.
It wasn't just him, but everyone also displayed respect to the words of the Atlas Douluo, while also being curious about the plan of Tang Wulin.
After all, it was able to get the approval of Yun Ming who they doubt would approve of anything that wouldn't work.
"Alright, the plan is completely straightforward." Said Tang Wulin without a care in the world as if the incident that happened to him moments before didn't even phase him.
'As expected of my boss!' Thought Xie Xie while looking at how Wulin's words and nonchalance caused everyone's lips to twitch.
The plan as follows was to lure the Calamity that was found the Dread Wolf Fafnir to a barren land where nature was thriving. This was to lower the damage that will be done to the Douluo continent and hopefully the plane aswell.
'This will be easy, as Fafnir from what he knew was a battle maniac like him.' Thought Tang Wulin as he planned to either just attack Fafnir from afar or just draw him out with his killing intent.
In this area, someone will be in charge of keeping its attention as the others will use their power to help create a barrier. This is to help not only keep the creature inside of it but to help channel the plane powers.
"Channel the plane powers?" Questioned of the Sea God Pavilion Elders.
"I'm sure some of you felt a type of power that has been stopping you from breaking through and becoming a god right?" Questioned Tang Wulin and receiving a nod from a few people around.
"That is the plane itself, that suppress and throws out any being that his a danger to the planet since it can't withstand the power of Gods." Said Tang Wulin causing most of the Soul Masters in the meeting eyes to widen.
How could they not be shocked? This was a question that has always plagued them, which was how or why couldn't Soul Masters except for two able to break through and become a god.
One has to understand there was no end of talents in this world and yet none of these talents but two were able to breakthrough. Even the Atlas Douluo Yun Ming, who has been a Quasi God for hundreds of years, still hasn't shown any sign of becoming a god.
And even these people believe he has the greatest chance of becoming a god, compared to everyone else.
Tang Wulin continues his explanation about how they will use the Gold Tree power to help channel the plane power into the barrier. It was Zeref idea from seeing the Great Formation that the Old Gods used back against Typhon.
But instead of using it to seal Fafnir, since there was no way such a thing would be possible with how to weaken the planet was. They plan to use it to empower the person that is combating Fafnir, allowing them to become a match for him.
Tang Wulin was at first surprised at how simple the plan was but then realized why. When faced with such an overwhelming being and strength like Fafnir, complex planning is usually tossed out the window.
How could he not understand?
He was in a similar position to Fafnir before, so he could more or less understand where Zeref was coming from.
"I see, with the empowerment and suppression of the planes. In theory, one could gain the power to fight the Calamities." Said, Zang Xin but then he shook his head before saying.
"But if what was told was true, then it's impossible to beat these Gods unless one can break past there godhood." Said Zang Xin as he recalls Yun Ming informing him and all of them about this.
This was one of the reasons that they were all reluctant to fight with the calamities. As there was no reasonable way to justify the causalities if they aren't even able to slay the damn beast.
Everyone here has no illusion that there wouldn't be causality, as this wasn't a simple Spirit Beast but one that became a living breathing God. Not even the Beast God Di Tian has been able to accomplish something like this before.
"We already thought about that." Said Yun Ming causing everyone but Tang Wulin and Yali to arch a brow.
"You have a way to get through their protection?" Questioned Qiangu Dongfeng with a hint of excitement.
"Not me but Tang Wulin."
"Him?" Questioned Leng Yaozhu in shock but she wasn't the only one as everyone else was also looking at Tang Wulin in surprise.
"Yes, he will be the one that will be fighting and killing the Calamities." Said Yun Ming causing the whole room to descend in silence.
Whether it be the people from the Spirit Pagoda, Federation, War God Temple, and even the Sea God Pavilion members themself. They all couldn't stop the unbelievable shock that ran through their bodies from the words of Yun Ming.
BANG!
The table that was in the center was smashed to pieces from the palm of Qiangu Dongfeng who already stood up and glare hatefully at Yun Ming.
"Is this a joke to you! To think you would be so reckless as to even suggest some crap like this."Shouted Qiangu Dongfeng as his Soul Power began to coil around his body from his anger.
This wasn't just him but most of the people in the room with even Long Yeyue and Zang Xin looking at Yun Ming as if he was crazy.
But Yun Ming surprisingly didn't get mad and still kept his calm as he swept a glance through everyone in the room before closing his eyes.
As he wasn't the one who needed to speak but the person next to him who was looking at the people in the room in amus_e_m_e_nt.
"Yes, I will be the one that will fight the Calamities." Said Tang Wulin with a small smirk on his face.
But of course, that and his words caused Qiangu Dongfeng to turn his glare towards him with him looking like he wanted to tear Tang Wulin apart.
Xie Xie himself was wondering if he should be here, as he could even feel Qiangu Dongfeng predatory eyes on him too. But of course, he wouldn't leave as he still needed to help out his boss and best friend.
"Boy...Do you even know what you are even saying-"
"I do." Said Tang Wulin as he interrupted Qiangu Dongfeng and causing his eyes to narrow even more.
"He says he does." Mutter Qiangu Dongfeng before letting out a hollow laugh.
"Tell me, boy! Have you ever seen them before! Have you felt their unrivaled power? Have you felt their terrifying might? Tell me, boy! What qualifications do you have!"Shouted Qiangu Dongfeng as his voice started become half craze.
Tang Wulin didn't say anything as his smirk turned into a full grin before he unleashed his aura that began to shine brilliantly. Yet to the shock of everyone including Yun Ming and Xie Xie, this wasn't his normal scarlet color one but golden-green energy.
The golden-green colored radiance was just too terrifying, brilliant to the point where one had to close there eyes as the light was too overflowing. As if it wanted to engulf the heavens above and earth below!
Countless streaks of light dashed through the room, they were endless, like the lights of rain as they dance through the room. They coiled around Tang Wulin figure like a snake before piercing forward towards Qiangu Dongfeng.
Qiangu Dongfeng's eyes widen as he felt it crashing down upon him!
He blinks his eyes before he saw he was no longer in the meeting room but in a land filled lush golden grass that spans across the horizon.
It was only after a second that he notices the massive, towering tree whose width was too wide and height tore through the sky itself.
Before he could say anything, the towering tree shook before erupting with a brilliant color that dazzling illuminated the world and shocking the past, present, and future.
Qiangu Dongfeng knew this existence was terrifying beyond compare, nothing could destroy it and there no obstacles it couldn't overcome. He understands this was an existence on the same level of the Calamities or close to them at least.
And then he found himself back in the same room, with everyone else furrowing their brow. Before anyone could say anything, Yun Ming's voice rang out.
"As you can see, he has the acknowledgment of the Gold Tree."
