Chapter 158: Summoned

At the sight of a streak of light coming towards it, the Bear Lord quickly reacts.

Instantly dusk-gold radiance bust forth from the Bear Lord body like a volcano erupting. Yet Tang Wulin refuse to give it a chance and began inhaling all of the energy around the Bear Lord.

The Bear Lord roared out in anger before it quickly swung its arm at the spear as it saw its blood essence being drained. This caused the Golden Dragon Spear to be sent away but not before its tip was able to pierce into the Bear Lord.

'Time Magic: Zone Age.'

With a roar, the Bear Lord launched itself back even further away from Tang Wulin in even more fright and panic.

"How! How can you control the laws of Time so well!" Roared the Bear Lord as it stared at Tang Wulin with raging eyes.

"Why shouldn't I be able to" Said Tang Wulin as he stared at the Bear Lord while outstretching his hand and resummoning his Golden Dragon Spear.

'How many tricks does this human have?' Thought the Bear Lord in annoyance and fright as just at the moment when the spear tip was able to piece through its fur. The Bear Lord felt a apart of its flesh being aged as if over fifty years had passed in the blink of an eye.

This was something terrifying to beings like the ferocious Beast as the more they age, the closer they are to the tribulations for their cultivation. Even Di Tian, himself was scared of his next Tribulation which was why he wanted their Lord to hurry up and become complete.

'Just what was that skill.' Thought the Bear Lord as his body began to slightly shiver from the previous sensation.

The time magic, Tang Wulin applied to his spear was called Zone Age. It was an ability that allowed him to his fist or spear with time magic, allowing him to age a person. It didn't matter whether if the attack lightly hit the opponent or grazes them, as it would still take effect.

Of course, this only affects the area, in which the target was hit. The Bear Lord, for example, would only feel its flesh at the side of its back being aged, instead of its whole body or soul.

An ability like this was truly terrifying, as even those with a long life span would still be very reluctant to face such an attack.

It had already forgotten how long it had been since it last fought such an annoying opponent. As ever since it started to fight this human in front of it, it has been through a roller coaster of emotion.

Whether it be from this human terrifying physical prowess that seemed to not even lose out to it or his ability to suppress even its own bloodline. Then there is the human ability to fight the Bear Lord as if he was predicting all of its moves.

And to top it all off, this human was even able to somehow manipulate the ocean that was filled with destruction energy. Meaning at the moment, this human had an almost perfect defense against the Bear Lord direct attacks.

'Di Tian was right! This kid is too dangerous!'Thought the Bear Lord as it tried to think and come up with a way to kill this monster in front of it.

As it knew, if an existence like this was left to fully grow up. Then it wasn't sure if even its Lords would be able to defeat this opponent, let alone kill him.

"Round two? Let's go."Said Tang Wulin with a smile as he readies his Golden Dragon Spear as he senses the determination of the Bear Lord.

'I must kill him!' Thought the Bear Lord, as its blood essence began to rumble with vigor and fury.

But it was then its body shook as it felt something calling or summoning it.

'Damn it! It's happening now!' Thought the Bear Lord in anger but then it only sighed as it knows it couldn't do anything about it.

The Bear Lord knew it would have to come with even more people to try and kill Tang Wulin. It doubts it could really kill this human by itself in such a small amount of time. While it was thinking this, specs of golden light started to form around it.

As if the specs of light were all fireflies that were dancing around the Bear Lord. This caused the Bear Lord the whole figure to look like the core of the sun itself.

'So it's here.' Thought the Bear Lord with a sigh.

"Fine human, consider you-"

The Bear Lord didn't get to finish its words as something shocking was happening in front of it. The same golden light that was shimming around it, was also around Tang Wulin.

"How! How are the lights also showing up for you!" Roared the Bear Lord in absolute shock.

This was something he never thought or could never imagine. An actual human was being summoned to the event known as the Spirit Beast Festival.

'Shouldn't there be a limit to how many tricks or mysterious one should have!' Thought the Bear Lord as its vision started to become blinded by the light.

The last thing it saw before it was fully blinded was the small grin on Tang Wulin face, growing even bigger.

"Damn it!"

A thunderous roar reverberates through the lush forest, which caused the leaves and grass to sway. The being who caused this was none other than, the Bear Lord Tang Wulin was fighting on the Demon Island.

The Bear Lord was clenching its paws with all of its might, as black veins started to appear around hits neck. Its eyes were shining with a grim light.

'How! How is it possible for him to be able to come here!' Thought the Bear Lord in frustration as he tries thinking of the reason.

Even if he had the Golden Dragon King bloodline, he still shouldn't be considered a true spirit beast at all. As to the Bear Lord knowledge, this was the first time in history that a human was also summoned to this event.

'No...It doesn't matter right now.' Thought the Bear Lord as it gradually began to narrows its eyes.

'No matter how much it pisses me off, I have to inform Di Tian.' Thought the Bear Lord with a sigh before a dusk-gold began to swirl around him.

Its blood essence started to cause the ground to tremble before it suddenly leaped into the sky like a cannonball. As it flew upward, a deafening boom was heard at ground level.

Tang Wulin blink his eyes once the light dyed down and found himself in a place that was not the Demon Island. He found himself surrounded by towering beautiful trees, plants and grass that were swaying.

He glances around to see some mountain or hill peaks that were down from where he was. They were overflowing with plants and were covered with trees. He hears the chatterings of the insects and bugs that were moving through the forest.

'I really did get summoning.' Thought Tang Wulin after inspecting the area around him and spreading out his spiritual sense.

He was able to sense and locate all of the wildlife around, whether they were buried underground, in the tree or high above the sky. While he was doing this, nature around him was trembling and fidgeting as if they felt something was amiss.

It was then, that all of the plants, wildlife, trees, and grass began moving toward Tang Wulin. It was a bizarre experience to Tang Wulin, as he could 'hear' and 'understand' all of their thoughts. Even though he didn't know their language or that they weren't able to speak like a human.

He could still understand all of them, along with their feelings towards him and their apparent love for him. He obviously chalks this up from gaining the bloodline of the Goddess of Life, as it was a similar feeling when he was in the Sea.

'Well, Yggdrasil did say, there would be a reaction like this.' Thought Tang Wulin as he listens in to nature around him.

From what Yggdrasil informed him on, it was not an exaggeration to say he was nature's most beloved person. It was to the point, that all of the plants, wildlife, and nature around, will do their utmost to help him.

Whether it be from giving him advice to stopping anyone from doing harm towards him. This means all those who have a plant-based or nature bases martial spirit would be useless against him. As their own marital spirit would suppress themselves from attacking and some might even attack the user themselves.

'Well anyway, it seems I'm in the center of the Star Dou Forest.' Thought Tang Wulin after hearing the explanation from the plants around him.

"I didn't think you would actually be summoned." Said Sleipnir as she appeared next to Tang Wulin while glancing around at the Star Dou forest.

"Well, his bloodline is basically barely human at this point." Said Yggdrasil as she appeared on top of Sleipnir back while glancing around the forest in child-like interests.

"Is it really that diluted?" Questioned Zeref as he also appeared too, along with Sleipnir also nodding her head in confusion.

"You tell me, hasn't his bloodline been changing since before he even gained the Life and Destruction bloodlines? Even then, it's not like he was a full human, to begin with."Said Yggdrasil as she lightly swung her legs back and forth.

"...That is true."Said Zeref with a sigh as he knew who Acnologia's birth parents were. Even if one ignored that they were gods, he knew they were both spirit beasts from the words of Old Tang.

Plus add on to the fact that, Tang Wulin was turning into a true dragon from the Golden Dragon King seals. And his body did turn into a literal dragon body in human form, after the Spirit Metamorphosis.

To call him a human or a full one at this point, would be laughable.

"So how are we going to do this?" Questioned Zeref as he glances at Tang Wulin who began to furrow his brows.

He already understands that Zeref wanted to know how he was going to tackle this place and the event that will be going on.

"I most likely won't be using anything but the Body Sect Cultivation and my two hands." Said Tang Wulin after a bit of thinking.

The thing he needed was to gain the body strength of a God Officer, just to even keep up with the Calamities. He still recalled the experience of being blitz by Fafnir and how the only reason he was able to barely defend, was because of his Asura Blood.

Not only that but he would need the improved physical prowess to fully damage it when he applies his God Slayer Art. Because of this, he needed to increase his strength. The fastest way with the best result he can think of was achieving the last level of the Body Forging.

To do this, he plans to fully delve straight into the harshness of battle after battle. What better way to do that, other than fighting the Spirit Beasts with body strength that most humans couldn't even come close to?

He knew he wouldn't be able to gain another chance, to fight Spirit Beast like Di Tian and the Bear Lord with their cultivation being restricted. From what Sleipnir told him, no Spirit Beast in this event can be over a fifty thousand year cultivation,

With only those who were over a hundred thousand years, being forced to stay at this appointed limit. This trial wasn't necessary about cultivation but more of bloodline and fighting prowess.

With this, he may be able to achieve a breakthrough in the next seal. Of course, this would be after he finishes the preparation for his body to fully draw out its potential.

"Well, I can see why you want to do this. Alright, let's do it." Said Zeref with a nod of his head and for a few minutes began making some plan with Tang Wulin.

It didn't take long for them to make some plans or safety measures just in case things go south. Yggdrasil also mentions to him, that he should tell nature around him to not interfere if he was going with his battle lust approach.

As they will really try their best to help him out if it gets too critical.

"Anyway, this is a good opportunity As with this trial, and it's possible for you to fight without much worry and push your body to the limit." Said Yggdrasil with a beaming smile.

"Let's go, Wulin." Said Sleipnir causing Tang Wulin to roll his eyes but nonetheless move on.

As nature around him was informing him about some places in the Star Dou Forest.
