1301 Battle of Five Gods

Tang Wulin tried to sound humble in his words for he was rejecting a marriage proposal from the princess and a request of an emperor before so many people. His heart was genuinely filled with regret.

Dai Tianling remained green with rage. No matter how many ulterior goals he had plotted along with this union by marriage, the happiness he wanted for his daughter was still the most important part of it. He had hoped that his beloved daughter would find joy.

Yet he saw his daughter's tears in return.

The rage in his heart was already burning wildly. He wished he could turn this boy into ashes. As a father, he was filled with hostility at any man that attempted to get close to his daughter. For someone that had the audacity to reject his daughter… He wished that he could tear them into shreds.

Veins were already protruding out from the Emperor's hands while the aura emitted by his body was fluctuating unstably.

"Your Majesty." En Ci called out to Dai Tianling's which slightly relaxed the Emperor's aura. Dai Tianling turned his head to look at his teacher by the side.

En Ci gently shook his head while there was a visible wisp of disappointment in his gaze.

En Ci willingly consented when he learned from Long Yue that Dai Yun'er hoped that he could do this favor for her. This was because this would be a good thing for the Star Luo Empire. However, today's situation was beyond his expectations. Tang Wulin did not even bother considering further before he used his gaze to reject the princess. This signified that the agenda of a union by marriage could not have possibly succeeded.

However, the youth before En Ci represented Tang Sect after all. He could not take action to kill him on the spot.

No matter how angry he was, he could only suppress himself. This was for the empire after all.

Tang Wulin once again took a seat. He was frowning a little for he found himself to be at a loss of words.

An awkward silence once again occupied the entire rear courtroom. Tang Wulin could clearly sense that Dai Yueyan's eyes were spurting with raging fire as if he was going to burn Tang Wulin into ashes.

Tang Wulin raised his head with helplessness. He looked towards Dai Yueyan with an apologetic look.

Dai Yueyan gave a cold humph. He would have already pounced onto Tang Wulin for a fight in any other situation.

In the end, it was once again the Smiley Face Douluo that broke the awkward silence. He softly coughed and shifted everyone's gaze onto himself. "Your Majesty, I wonder what you mean by the bet you talked about earlier?"Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.

Dai Tianling coldly looked at him. "Since ancient times, there is a form of battle circulating in the Douluo Continent. It is known as the Battle of Five Gods. Any conflict between the two empires can be solved with this battle. If someone from the weaker side is capable of achieving victory in fighting against the stronger side for five challenges. Then the stronger side will have to withdraw the troops and not to wage another war for at least another year."

"Star Luo Empire advocates for combat force and even more so for individual heroism. If Sect Master of the Tang Sect can prove that he is a hero, then we shall consent to Tang Sect's terms."

The emperor chose to control himself in the end. He did not truly allow his emotions to burst forth. After all, the negotiation this time was crucial for the safety of the empire.

The Battle of Five Gods?

These words attracted Tang Wulin's attention.

They were being referred to as the weaker side.

In other words, he would have to engage in five battles all by himself and defeat the opponents in order to achieve victory in it.

Dai Tianling continued. "We are going to revive the Battle of the Five Gods. The Star Luo Empire will send out five separate individuals to spar with Sect Master Tang on five types of battles including mecha, battle armor, soul skill, weapon, and spirit. If he is victorious in all five battles, then we shall close the deal by paying the total price with a twenty percent increment, just as I mentioned earlier. Moreover, we shall accept all terms from Tang Sect."

Smiley Face Douluo deeply frowned. "Your majesty, isn't this bet a little too harsh? How can the Sect Master continuously fight five battles with the presence of a man like Brother En Ci?"

Even though En Ci was the only Limit Douluo that Star Luo Empire had, there were countless talents in such an enormous country. It was not that difficult to look for the most outstanding people in these five fields. On the other hand, Tang Wulin's probability of winning five rounds in a row was almost equal to zero!

Dai Tianling stood up and said with a deep voice, "that's how things stand and we won't be making any changes. If Sect Master Tang is incapable of doing so, then please abolish the restrictions and deal with us, or return to where you came from."

He immediately left with a flick of his sleeves upon saying that.

If this scenario was to happen before Tang Wulin rejected Dai Yun'er, the bet of the Battle of Five Gods would have still had its restrictions. The age of Tang Wulin's opponents would be limited to the level of fewer than fifty years old. However, Dai Tianling's daughter suffered from such a grievance. So Dai Tianling had to ferociously punish Tang Wulin even if his action were to offend the Tang Sect.

The Heavy Ion Beam was albeit terrifying but the Star Luo Empire also had inner secrets that belonged to them. Dai Tianling had never been afraid of the Douluo Federation.

"Big brother, do you consider yourself to not be subdued by force and not swerved by poverty?" Xu Lizhi walked to Tang Wulin's side and gave him a thumbs up.

Xie Xie sniggered. "It's obvious that he's impervious to the temptation of wealth and high positions. Actually, Dai Yun'er is pretty good. She's the princess you know."

"So if that was you, will you be coupling up with her?" Yue Zhengyu asked at the right time.

"That's… Of course not!" Xie Xie had just spoken those words when he could already feel the murderous intent behind his back. He instantly corrected his remarks.

"How come you all aren't even feeling a little anxious?" Smiley Face Douluo was already feeling a little difficult to smile at present.

How could Tang Wulin so easily complete the Battle of Five Gods without any restriction? The simplest point here was that Tang Wulin would be certainly fighting against En Ci in the battle. En Ci's martial soul was the Light Holy Dragon and he was a Limit Douluo. He was at an unsurpassed pinnacle.

"Hall Master Hu, we all have confidence in our big brother. I thought he has even managed to stand his ground against you? What's there to fear about the Battle of Five Gods." Xie Xie smiled.

"Are all of you feeling confident about him?" Smiley Face Douluo asked in astonishment.

"It's a competition that we are destined to lose. How can we not feel confident about it?" said Xie Xie.

Smiley Face Douluo was caught speechless.

Xu Xiaoyan gave out a humph. "They're bullying people. What's with the bet when there's utterly no aspect of a bet in it. It's a simple rejection."

Yuanen Yehui said. "It seems like we need to consider a contingency plan. The Star Luo Empire is so aggressive. Shall we come up with something else?"

Tang Wulin looked at her and then he looked at the others. "It seems like all of you stipulate that I won't be winning the Battle of Five Gods?"

The group of people immediately nodded without the slightest bit of hesitation.

Yue Zhengyu said, "The Star Luo Empire will certainly send out a Limit Douluo as the leader and four Hyper Douluos. What are we going to use to win! Unless they're all of our age. This is totally an unfair competition. Perhaps we can still stand a chance to fight in the battle of one against one without the Limit Douluo. The battle of one against five using the tactic of taking turns to tire the opponent. How is that possible?"

Smiley Face Douluo heaved a sigh. "I shall communicate with his excellency Amorous Douluo and see if we can reduce the terms. Our final goal is to prevent war."

Ye Xinglan said, "I suppose that's all we can do. I didn't expect the Star Luo Empire to make such a surprise move. We're truly caught off guard here."

A Ruheng rubbed his large bald head. "What a waste. If this was another ten years, no five years down the road, perhaps my little junior disciple brother can attempt to fight against these unknown opponents in the Battle of Five Gods and even defeat them directly."

"There's no need to wait for five years. I wish to give it a try," Tang Wulin suddenly said.

The group of people could not help being stunned upon hearing his words. It was obviously a match in which they cannot afford defeat.

"Captain, don't. You represent Tang Sect and also the Shrek Academy. You…" Ye Xinglan revealed an anxious expression.

Even though she did not finish her sentence her intention had already been expressed. Tang Wulin could not afford to lose. If Tang Wulin lost, this would signify that Tang Sect and Shrek Academy had lost too. No matter how extraordinary his natural endowments were, he could not possibly defeat a Limit Douluo-rank powerhouses at the age of twenty years! He was not on the same level as the other.

Tang Wulin spoke resolutely, "it's precisely because I represent the Tang Sect and the Shrek Academy that I can't retreat without fighting. Back then when I came to Star Luo Empire for the very first time, we didn't know that we would lose when we fought against the Eight Heavenly Kings from the Monster Academy. However, we still made strenuous efforts in competition and created a miracle at the final round to became the final champion."

"How is that the same as this? You're going to fight against the strength of an empire and not in a competition of youths!" Yuanen Yehui said.

Tang Wulin said. "I wish to give it a try. Even if I lose, I'm still going to engage in the Battle of Five Gods. At least, this will strive for five days' time for us. Perhaps, this will be one of the greatest challenges in my life. On the other hand, it's also an opportunity for me. An opportunity that can possibly only happen once in my lifetime."
