Chapter 1359
On the competition platform, Weeping Blood Douluo Chu Tiange was appraising Tang Wulin with his brows furrowed, looking rather unhappy and deflated.
Is he trying to lure me into a false sense of security?
Even as this thought occurred to him, Tang Wulin was already charging forward.
He couldn\'t use his martial soul, but with the enhancements from his Body Sect congenital secret method and Golden Dragon King bloodline, he was still able to instantly break through the sound barrier as he stomped his left foot onto the ground to propel himself forward like a cannonball. Golden light flashed in his right hand, and his Golden Dragon Spear appeared.
A loud dragon\'s roar rang out as countless spear projections erupted forth before hurtling toward Chu Tiange with fearsome might.
Right at this moment, Chu Tiange suddenly raised his head and opened his mouth, seemingly to say something, but remained silent in the end.
He then raised a hand, and as opposed to a sword as Tang Wulin had expected, what appeared in his hand was a metal bracelet instead.
This was a white bracelet, and as soon as it was brought out, it began to emanate a radiant white light.
An indescribable peculiar feeling also welled up in Tang Wulin\'s heart in that instant, and the Golden Dragon Spear abruptly shuddered in his hand. It was then wrenched out of his grasp, and his Fury of the Masses was instantly cut off as well.
A crisp clang rang out, and the Golden Dragon Spear adhered itself to the white metal bracelet that Chu Tiange was holding.
Ever since Tang Wulin had awakened his Golden Dragon King bloodline and obtained this Golden Dragon Spear, it had virtually become a part of his body. He had suffered defeats in the past, but never had his Golden Dragon Spear left his grasp in battle on an involuntary basis.
Furthermore, it had left his grasp in such a perplexing manner; this was downright unimaginable to Tang Wulin!
After the Golden Dragon Spear was drawn to the metal bracelet, it began to slowly shrink before finally disappearing into the bracelet.
The entire stadium fell silent upon seeing this, and all of the cheering spectators were completely flabbergasted.
What was going on?
What had just happened?
The Smiling Douluo was also rooted to his seat. There was no way that he could\'ve anticipated something like this!
Tang Wulin had been disarmed even before the first clash had taken place; how was he supposed to fight now?
Tang Wulin had already reached his opponent at this point, but his weapon was gone.
Chu Tiange raised his right hand, and a peerlessly sharp sword projection swept toward Tang Wulin like lightning. Tang Wulin had been caught completely off guard, and he could only raise his arms to protect himself after losing his Golden Dragon Spear. He only had time to unleash his Mysterious Jade Hands to bolster his defenses before he was sent flying amid a loud boom.
The attack appeared to have been quite a simple one, but the power imbued within the sword projection exploded seven times in rapid succession after crashing into Tang Wulin, with each explosion more powerful than the last one. The devastating sword Qi threatened to tear his body into pieces, and if it weren\'t for his immensely powerful physical constitution, that attack alone would\'ve been enough to end the battle.
Golden light flashed over Tang Wulin\'s skin as he unleashed his dragon\'s repulse to nullify the attack, but he was still in a state of shock.
The Golden Dragon Spear was a divine weapon! It was something that was feared even by all abyssal creatures, yet it had been taken by his opponent just like that.
What exactly was that metal bracelet?
On the rostrum, the Smiling Douluo had just figured out the answer to that question. He turned to Dai Tianling, and exclaimed, "Isn\'t that the empire\'s premier divine weapon, the Vajra Bracelet? You\'re willing to go this far to win?"
This was... downright cheating!
The Vajra Bracelet wasn\'t something that the Star Luo Empire had brought over from the Douluo Continent. Instead, it had come from the current Star Luo Continent.
Back when the Star Luo Empire had mass migrated to this continent, they were naturally met by resistance from the natives here. All invasions incurred a cost; even though the Star Luo Empire wasn\'t powerful enough to face the Douluo Federation at the time, it was a simple matter for them to take care of those natives.
During the war between the two sides, one of the tribal leaders of the natives had used this Vajra Bracelet to cause the Star Luo Empire army a great deal of trouble. The Vajra Bracelet possessed the ability to devour all weapons, and it even worked on martial souls to a certain degree.
There was a small space within the Vajra Bracelet that was completely independent from the outside world, and at the time, the Star Luo Empire had seven Titled Douluos with tool martial souls, all of whom were severely weakened by this bracelet. In the end, the Star Luo Empire had defeated the natives through the power of their Soul Masters with beast martial souls, but they had still paid a heavy price during that war.
Ever since the empire obtained the Vajra Bracelet, it had been revered as a prized treasure, and only the emperor had the right to use it.
However, with the advancement of soul technology, this divine tool was made rather redundant. This was because the space within it was limited, and it could only store the weapons that it devoured; it didn\'t have the ability to make the weapons undergo evolution or anything like that. According to the information they had gathered from the natives, the Vajra Bracelet was an ancient treasure, and no one knew exactly where it had come from. The Smiling Douluo had only ever heard of its existence, but never seen it before this.
Never did he think that he would see this legendary divine tool on such an occasion.
Thus, Tang Wulin was stripped of his weapon and was unable to use his martial soul or soul skills, facing a master swordsman who was also a Hyper Douluo. How was he supposed to fight like this?
Dai Tianling merely sat in his chair in a calm and collected manner. Back when he had convinced Chu Tiange to agree to use the Vajra Bracelet, he had already anticipated that he would receive widespread criticism, but so what?
"This is the Trial of Five Gods; if we bring out anything short of the best that we have to offer, it would be a gesture of disrespect to your sect master. The Vajra Bracelet is a type of weapon, and there\'s no rule in the weapons battle stating that only a single weapon can be used!"
Hu Jie was suddenly struck by the revelation that Dai Tianling had a very punchable face!
All of the spectators were also completely flabbergasted. Virtually none of them were aware of the existence of the Vajra Bracelet, but it didn\'t take a genius to see that Tang Wulin was in a world of trouble.
Without his weapon, how was he supposed to fight in the weapons battle? How could the Star Luo Empire representative stoop to using such an underhanded tactic? Even if he were to win, there would be no glory to be earned!
Tang Wulin didn\'t know whether he should laugh or cry. It seemed that the Star Luo Empire really didn\'t want him to win any more matches; they were even stooping to such shady tactics!
What exactly was that thing?
However, just because he had been stripped of his Golden Dragon Spear didn\'t mean that he was going to concede this match. He was still oblivious to the fact that Dai Tianling had already agreed to all of the Tang Sect\'s conditions under a 10% price discount.
Ever since he arrived in the Star Luo Empire, he had constantly been targeted by the Star Luo Empire. The Trial of Five Gods had announced to the entire world that he was in the Star Luo Empire, thereby placing the Tang Sect under a lot of pressure in the federation. Tang Wulin was forced to accept all of this as he had to look at the bigger picture. Thus, he decided to participate in this Trial of Five Gods, but even in this completely unfair trial that was skewed heavily against his favor, they were still resorting to such underhanded tactics. At this point, even Tang Wulin couldn\'t help but feel enraged by the treatment he had received.
As the flames of fury were ignited in his heart, his expression only became calmer while his eyes became especially bright and piercing.
You want to take away my Golden Dragon Spear? Let\'s see what else you can take!
Tang Wulin took a deep breath as a cold light appeared in his eyes, and a spindle-shaped streak of light suddenly appeared in front of him.
