Chapter Forty-Eight: Golden Scales

ulin was feeling quite frustrated. If things couldn't get better, he'd have to go back and drink some water first to hold him over. He could turn in his forging assignments this afternoon, earn a thou...Gu Long’s dagger thrust, this time Xie Xie held back his strength. In his eyes, if he attacked with full force, he could directly sever Tang Wulin’s arm. But the two didn’t have any deep hatred, a lesson was enough.

However, to his surprise, Tang Wulin's shoulder muscles were extremely tough. Even with the sharpness of the Guanglong dagger, it only pierced in an inch. Although this was the result of him holding back, it was still shocking.

A flash of blood appeared, and the intense pain caused Tang Wulin's retreating Blue Silver Grass to lose control instantly, falling to the ground.

Guangling's dagger pressed down, Tang Wulin almost knelt. He staggered but still stood firm, wanting to strike Xie Xie with a punch. Xie Xie suddenly circled him and was already behind him. Guangling's dagger whirled on his shoulder for a moment, causing Tang Wulin to feel a wave of numbness throughout his body. The sharp energy transmitted from the dagger ruthlessly pressured his soul power.

"Do you admit defeat!" Xie Xun's voice held a hint of triumph. Finally, he had avenged yesterday's punch.

Tang Wulin gritted his teeth, the stubbornness in his heart refused to let him surrender.

At that moment, a sudden, sharp pain in his shoulder flared like a wildfire through his body. Waves of scorching heat surged from deep within him, spreading instantly throughout his entire being. He tried to speak, but found himself unable to utter a single word.

"I ask you, do you admit defeat!" Xie Xie pressed his dagger downwards, snarling.

"No!" Tang Wulin roared almost in a hoarse voice, but his voice was clearly changing.

Xie Xian was taken aback. He had not stabbed too deeply, so why was his reaction so extreme Instinctively, he wanted to pull out the Guanglong dagger.

But just at that moment, something unexpected happened to him.

The Guanglong Dagger, which had pierced Tang Wulin's shoulder, suddenly let out a shrill dragon roar. Xie Xie felt a jolt of fear run through his entire body, a feeling as if he had encountered something terribly frightening all of a sudden.

Where the Guanglong dagger had pierced, blood suddenly stopped flowing. A golden light flowed out from the window, and the Guanglong dagger was slowly pushed out by the surging gold.

Faced with this unknown situation, Xie Xian's first thought was to retreat. But he was horrified to discover that the Guanglong Dagger felt as if it were stuck, and even though he wanted to retract it, he couldn't.

"Ah—" A roar that shook the heavens erupted from Tang Wulin's mouth, and the Light Dragon Dagger shot out of his wound in an instant.

The last thing Xie Xian saw was a golden light, and the next moment, he felt as if he had been hit head-on by a Soul Guidance Train traveling at high speed. His vision went black, and he knew nothing more.

"Bang—" Xie Xian crashed into a big tree far away and slid down slowly.

Tang Wulin knelt on the ground, his eyes still bloodshot, his whole body trembling violently. At this moment, he felt like a metal being burned in a furnace, the intense heat constantly surging from within, causing his body to tremble violently.

But his consciousness was still clear, at least when he just threw that punch. At the last moment, he pulled back his strength, otherwise, he doubted Xie Xihe would be beaten by him to the point of being unable to live on his own.

He lowered his head and was shocked to see that his right hand was covered in fine scales at some point.

That was golden scales. The scales were rhomboid, each one slightly raised, giving them a sharp edge. The fingertips narrowed, nails lengthened and sharpened, like claws.

The grassy serpent spirit's golden light that was originally coiled around his wrist, now shimmered faintly all over his body. Moreover, his entire body had swollen by a whole circle, and his eyes turned red, like rubies twinkling with light.

Is that it Isn't it a ghost What on earth is going on

Tang Wulin quickly took off his shirt, and then he was shocked to see that it wasn't just his palm that had changed. His entire right arm, from the place where the Guanglong Dagger pierced him, all the way to his palm, was covered in golden scales.

This arm brought him a kind of power that was beyond description.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He instinctively swung his right arm wildly, "Boom!"

The right fist slammed into the air, a golden light surging out and vaguely taking shape as a dragon's head in mid-air. The golden light sprayed outwards for a full meter, its imposing aura left him in no doubt that a full-force punch landing on someone would have devastating consequences.

"Jīn guāng, this is the power you gave me" Tang Wulin looked at the grass snake on his wrist in amazement.

But just at this moment, the grass snake's bloated body gradually contracted, the scales covering its arms and the changes in its palms rapidly receded. In almost just a few breaths, everything returned to normal. Following closely was an indescribable feeling of fatigue. Tang Wulin only felt a darkness before his eyes and fainted.

He hadn't even had time to get dressed when the golden grid-like patterns reappeared, especially those on his spine, which were strikingly vivid.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

……

Xie Xian woke up in the jolting motion, his mind still fuzzy, with vague changes in his surroundings. He instinctively looked up, and saw a familiar face.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

When he looked up again, he happened to see the gate of Tokai University.

It was already dark, and the large characters of Tohoku University were particularly prominent under the light.

"Mumble mumble..." Xie Xian wanted to speak, but all that came out of his mouth were strange sounds.

Tang Wulin frowned slightly and said to Xie Xie, who was on his back, "What's up"

"Well" Xie Xian's voice was still muffled.

As his consciousness slowly returned, he realized that he was being carried on Tang Wulin's back. He instinctively reached out to touch his face, and what he felt was a swollen, numb, and thick cheek like bread.

Everything that had happened before gradually sparked a wave of memories in Xie Xie's mind. At the same time, his mind echoed with words he and Tang Wulin had spoken when they left the East Sea Academy.

"Let's go to East China Sea Park, it's less crowded there. Don't worry, if I hurt you, I'll find someone to treat you."
