1084 You Go, Xiong Jun.

Possibly, the only place that was calm and quiet in the Blood God Army at that moment was Tang Wulin's living quarters. 

His blood was racing with the sound of people cheering as well, but he still chose to log out from the Battle Network and return to his room. 

His gains from today's battle were much greater than when he fought against the Gale Saber Demon Sima Jinchi. He experienced firsthand just how powerful the Body Sect's Innate Secret Technique was. He could even confirm that if he was capable of successfully cultivating the Innate Secret Technique himself, he would not face many problems during the breakthrough of the next two layers of the Golden Dragon King's Seal. In any case, this Secret Technique was perhaps the most effective method of refining one's body in the world. He would need to give it a try regardless. 

At this point, he dialed Mu Ye's soul communicator. 

"Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo!" No one picked up after the communicator rang a few times. 

'What is Teacher doing? Why isn't he picking up the communicator?' Uncertainty crept into Tang Wulin's heart. 

Meanwhile, the communicator was finally answered. 

"What's up?" Mu Ye's weak voice was heard. 

"Teacher?" asked Tang Wulin, attempting to find out Mu Ye's intentions.

"Hmm, you've won. Congratulations," Mu Yu replied dully. 

'That doesn't sound like congratulations! It seems like Teacher is not too happy about this.' Tang Wulin had his doubts. Could it be that this was due to him defeating his senior disciple?

"Teacher, what are you doing?"

"Preparing dinner!" His weak voice turned into rage. 

Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment. "Teacher, are you alright?"

After that moment of venting, Mu Ye became more like his normal self. "I'm fine. I'm making dinner for two middle-aged b*stards and one good-for-nothing glutton. The glutton told me that it felt incredible fighting you and he would look for you later."

'Glutton? Looking for me? Incredible?"

"Is senior disciple brother with you?" said Tang Wulin in astonishment. 

"Hmm. If you're calling to tell me the good news, you can hang up now. I'm busy here," said Mu Ye in an unpleasant tone. 

Tang Wulin answered, "No, I didn't call to tell you the good news. I think that senior disciple brother's Innate Secret Technique is extremely powerful. Do you think that as your junior disciple, I can attempt to cultivate that as well?"

"Hmm. Hmm?" Upon hearing Tang Wulin's words, Mu Ye needed a moment, but he soon reacted to the situation. Astonished, he answered, "You wish to cultivate the Innate Secret Technique?"

Tang Wulin asked, "Can I?"

Mu Ye was taken aback before he had a change of mood. "So, do you understand how difficult it is to cultivate the Innate Secret Technique?"

Tang Wulin spoke, "I've heard about that from you before! Everything I know about it came from you. Look, my bloodline is exceptionally gifted and my physical strength is not bad. Even though I'm no match for senior disciple brother, I'm much stronger than ordinary soul masters. I think that perhaps I stand a chance of cultivating the Innate Secret Technique, right?"

Mu Ye raised his eyebrows ever so slightly and considered for a moment. He said, "This is actually a good decision. So you think that our Body Sect's Innate Secret Technique is very powerful as well, huh?"

"Of course. If I had not resorted to trickery, how could I possibly have triumphed over senior disciple brother? Our Body Sect's Innate Secret Technique is, without a doubt, the number one divine method to refine one's body in the world. Of course I wish to try it out if I have the opportunity."

"Well said. If you're able to successfully cultivate the Innate Secret Technique, everything else will be nothing to you. You're in the Blood God Army, right? That's great. I'll send your senior disciple brother to meet you and also pass on the cultivation method of the Innate Secret Technique to you. However, approach it with caution and don't try it recklessly. If you can't cultivate the first level successfully then don't force it. The damage of the blowback from failing the Innate Secret Technique is very troublesome. However, given your body's strength, you could genuinely give it a try. We'll talk about the rest when you're done with the first level."

"Sure. Thank you, teacher." Tang Wulin was overjoyed. He was surprised that Mu Ye had actually permitted him to cultivate the Innate Secret Technique as this was the fundamental skill for the Body Sect! In truth, he was actually more of a Tang Sect disciple. He had acknowledged having a teacher in the Body Sect but had not formally joined the sect. 

Mu Ye hung up the communicator. His gloomy expression had already turned into excitement. 

He muttered to himself, "That's great! The boy came to me on his own initiative seeking permission to cultivate the Innate Secret Technique. This is proof of its power. Even though it's a little late for cultivation, perhaps he still stands a chance with his physical capabilities. The problem is that the first level requires condensing the blood essence core, which is quite difficult. I'm afraid it's still too tasking even with a strong body. I'll have Ruheng bring over some heaven-and-earth treasures for him later. Give it a try then. If he succeeds, heh-heh, then my Body Sect will truly rocket to the top of the world in one shot. If he's cultivating the fundamental method, he can't deny that he's a disciple of my Body Sect, right? Heh-heh-heh-heh. Amorous and Heartless Douluo, wait and see. Let's see who this little monster leans to by then, shall we? Heh-heh."

"Mu Ye, what are you sniggering about? Are you done making dinner?"

"Fu…"

…

After getting his teacher's permission, Tang Wulin was in a great mood. 'According to Teacher's words, the Innate Secret Technique is divided into levels. The first level should be the most important. Was senior disciple brother coming over? That was awesome because Ma Shan and Jiang Wuyue were already no longer that suitable as his sparring partners anymore. His senior disciple brother had such powerful abilities, and he was also physically gifted like Tang Wulin, so it was just right for him!

His heart immediately filled with hope and anticipation thinking about A Ruheng's arrival. 

He believed that his cultivation speed could be further elevated with such an amazing person as his training partner, and he could express everything that he had learned to the best of his abilities. 

His thought process was almost exactly the same as A Ruheng's. 

A faint smile emerged on Tang Wulin's face. He interlocked his fingers in front of his chest. With every glimmer of light in his eyes, the air warped ever so slightly as he entered a meditative state. 

A Ruheng's intense heartbeat and the change of his blood essence fluctuation during the battle inspired Tang Wulin's cultivation. Under such immense stress, he could even feel that he had managed to pick up some tricks for his cultivation of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline. His Golden Dragon Nine Moves had really continued to improve, and he would still need to study and create the final techniques in order to create an ability that truly belonged to himself. 

…

He won. 

A faint smile emerged on Gu Yuena's face. She was in a good mood because he had truly become more powerful. Moreover, the speed of his improvement was even faster than she had imagined. 

She should be preparing to return now for he would come looking for her after participating in the final round of the competition. 

"Your Excellency." A deep voice suddenly spoke up. 

Gu Yuena frowned. "Why are you here?"

A black silhouette appeared near her without a sound. Everything else in the surrounding area turned dark as if all the light was being absorbed. 

"Your Excellency, the champion of the Star Dou Battle Network is him, right? Are you still indecisive about him? You should be able to see that he is growing very fast. If this continues, he's going to be very troublesome for us in the future. After all, he is capable of affecting you."

Gu Yuena's glared. "There's no need for you to teach me how to deal with him."

"I'm sorry, your Excellency. I only wish to remind you to do it as soon as possible for the thousands of our deceased comrades, for the continued multiplication of our lineage in the future, and to become the master of the continent once again."

Gu Yuena's gaze turned cold for a moment. "Understood. Now, go."

The black silhouette heaved a sigh softly. "Yes." 

Light was restored to the place once again. Gu Yuena's good mood was ruined. She frowned deeply and did not speak anymore for a long while. 

…

"Her Excellency has yet to make up her mind still? I think that the person should be in the west. Her excellency came back from the west earlier. The judgment made from spatial fluctuation is unmistakable."

"Xiong Jun, you go."

"Sure."

…

It had already been a full day when Tang Wulin awakened from his meditation. When he was fully awake, the first sound that he heard was his strong heartbeat. 

Even though the increase in his cultivation base he had during the competition could not be brought out of the Star Dou Battle Network, the sensation of the battle could still be felt in the outside world.

Tang Wulin could vaguely feel his Dragon Core producing something new. It was as if his heartbeat sounded somewhat similar to his senior disciple brother's. 

It seemed like his Dragon Core's power could still be compressed to a certain level. 

He glanced at the time as his expression stiffened. 

The finals of the soul master battles and those of the mecha battles were only a day apart. That was because even the organizer of the Federation had not expected that it would be the same person participating in both finals. 

In other words, Tang Wulin's final mecha battle was about to start. The opponent who he was about to face was undoubtedly even more powerful than the Bubble King. 

He stood up and flexed his limbs. He sensed that he was at his peak physical condition, so he turned around and walked toward his Star Dou Cabin. 

The final battle of this year's Federal Star Dou Battle Network Challenge was at long last about to begin.
