Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

The pressure was as turbulent as a surging sea and as heavy as a massive boulder, making it hard to breathe.

Faced with such pressure, Jin Tianming simply poured himself a cup of tea with a calm expression.

He picked up his teacup under pressure, took a small sip, and his gaze fell on Long Xiaoyao before him. With a hint of curiosity, he asked, "Is this your idea? Or someone else's? Or perhaps the Crown Prince's instruction?"

Under such pressure, an ordinary person would probably have trembled and could only obediently follow Long Xiaoyao away. However, Jin Tianming has resolutely given up cultivating soul power in the past few years and instead has been frantically training his physical body and mental strength.

The pressure exerted by Long Xiaoyao could make him feel stressed, but that was all.

If you really want him to submit, you'd have to bring his goddess along. Otherwise, what right does Long Xiaoyao have to command him on his own?

Long Xiaoyao's gaze was calm as he quietly observed the surging golden soul power around Jin Tianming, and he secretly admired him: "With such extraordinary talent, it's normal for him to be a little arrogant and haughty. No wonder that old guy Mu En specifically mentioned this to me before."

Which powerful Soul Master wouldn't yearn to take such a genius as a disciple? Who wouldn't want to emulate Master Yu from ten thousand years ago and teach someone to become a god? And Jin Tianming's reaction today made Long Xiaoyao feel even more that in this era, the young man before him was very likely to become the one who ascended to the top of the God Realm.

The streets were bustling with pedestrians, creating a lively atmosphere.

But at this moment, an old man and a young man sat facing each other in the room, the atmosphere so calm it was suffocating. Their eyes met, and they stood in silent confrontation.

Xiao Huo sat to the side, not daring to breathe.

The aura emanating from the two was terrifying. In his eyes, these two were no longer ordinary humans, but rather like two real dragons, fiercely clashing at an invisible negotiating table.

He couldn't help but try to call out to Tianmeng in the spiritual world through the mental link, hoping to find a solution, but after waiting for a long time, he still did not receive a response.

Huo Yuhao was full of doubts. He could connect smoothly a few days ago, so why was the connection lost now?
In the realm of the mind, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm huddled shivering in a corner.

It dared not look at the outside world from Huo Yuhao's perspective. The encounter with the dragon that day had completely terrified it. Now, it avoids anything or anyone related to the dragon.

Even though it has been refined by the Heavenly Dragon Soul, the psychological shadow left by that experience still lingers.

Long Xiaoyao picked up his chopsticks, slurped up a mouthful of noodles, and then asked, "Little guy, it seems you know quite a bit about me and the people behind me?" You should know that the Holy Spirit Sect had been dormant for a long time, and only began to show its traces after the Sun Moon Empire confirmed the true crown prince.

But the boy in front of me seemed to have already seen through all of this.

This matter was handled with extreme secrecy, and no one knew about it at all. Could it be that his family really has such extraordinary abilities?
“I know this all too well. When you come to this country to study, you must at least understand all the forces at play, both overt and covert.”

Jin Tianming poured himself another cup of tea, swirling the teacup in his hand, and said meaningfully, "I thought you rats would keep hiding, but I didn't expect you to show your faces so quickly. I heard that someone has found a godmother and has become a sycophant, busy fawning over her?"

"Hahahaha." Long Xiaoyao burst into laughter.

After hearing Jin Tianming's words, Long Xiaoyao not only wasn't angry, but burst into laughter, seemingly unfazed and completely unconcerned. Huo Yuhao looked at Long Xiaoyao with suspicion, thinking to himself, "This old man, could he be mentally unstable?"

Looking at Long Xiaoyao laughing loudly in front of him, Jin Tianming was full of confusion. He couldn't help but wonder if the old guy had really messed up his brain because of this.
After a long while, Long Xiaoyao's laughter gradually subsided, and with a hint of sadness in his eyes, he said, "Simp? If we hadn't met that genius from your family, Mu En and I might still have had a chance."

"Unfortunately, there are no ifs. In that era, we thought the three of us were the most outstanding geniuses, but we never expected to encounter someone with an ultimate space dragon martial soul. At that time, I wondered who this person was and which force he came from."

"Now I can confirm it's someone from your family, right?" Long Xiaoyao's expression was complicated, seemingly relieved yet also in unbearable pain.

The woman he and Mu En were so devoted to had become someone else's lapdog. In what way were they inferior to that scumbag? That guy only cared about profit; he had no affection for them whatsoever.

At this moment, Jin Tianming's mind went blank, but he quickly suppressed his shock and panic, and asked with curiosity in his eyes, "So you came to see me today for personal reasons?"

"I suppose so!" Long Xiaoyao nodded, then his expression suddenly turned extremely serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Little guy, is the person in your family who possesses the Time-Space Ancient Dragon Martial Soul still alive?"

Jin Tianming looked slightly troubled and slowly shook his head: "I don't know about that. The factional struggles within the family are becoming increasingly fierce, and internal conflicts are about to erupt."

Moreover, the one Senior Long Xiaoyao mentioned hasn't left the territory for a very long time.

He smiled bitterly to himself, never expecting that he would one day start making things up.

Long Xiaoyao's words nearly made Jin Tianming lose his composure. He wondered to himself what kind of clone his main body had created in the future that could tame that crazy woman so well.

"I see~" A hint of disappointment flashed in Long Xiaoyao's eyes, but he quickly cheered up. He finished the last bite of noodles in his bowl, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said, "I came to see you today purely for personal matters."

But the situation might change in a few days; you should consult with the elders in your family as soon as possible.

As soon as he finished speaking, Long Xiaoyao's figure slowly disappeared into the air. Jin Tianming silently stared in the direction he left. Just as he was about to get up and leave, the waiter hurriedly ran over.

"Sir, you haven't paid yet," the waiter said cautiously.

Jin Tianming glanced helplessly at the spot where Long Xiaoyao had just sat, then took out a gold soul coin and tossed it to the waiter: "Keep the change." With that, he left with Huo Yuhao.

Not long after they left, on a high point of a building, Long Xiaoyao stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on Jin Tianming's receding figure below. He couldn't help but sigh, "That guy is a genius just like you, but he's much more cold and ruthless than you."

I really have no idea what kind of family yours is.

He paused, then muttered to himself, "If I ever have the chance, I will definitely go and find out what's going on."
