Douluo: Martial Soul Nine-Tailed Fox, I am the White Fox Emperor

Inside the private room, Gu Yuena looked at Nuonuo with some dissatisfaction: "Why hasn't Nuonuo moved? She's too lazy."

Hu Bai laughed and said, "No, Na'er, look, just now, the moment Nuannuan drew her sword, Nuonuo used the laws of space to subtly adjust the trajectory of the sword energy, so that the attack that could have seriously injured the opponent avoided a fatal blow. This girl is very meticulous."

In the following matches, the Martial Arts Academy team swept through the competition.

Round of 16: Our opponent is the famous "Elemental Academy Joint Team".

The opponent tried to suppress them with an elemental array, but Nuonuo finally made her move.

She yawned, and the phantom of the Nine-Tailed Chaos Dragon God flashed past behind her.

Third Soul Skill: Elemental Absolute Control!

To the horror of the enemy, the water, fire, wind, and thunder they unleashed became uncontrollable, instead turning their weapons against them.

"Playing with elements? I'm your ancestor," she said softly.

The entire opposing team surrendered.

In the quarterfinals, the opponent was a "Ghost Team" composed entirely of agility-based Soul Masters, known for their speed and ambush tactics.

Nuan Nuan immediately activated her fifth soul skill: Blazing Sun - Divine Descent.

A twelve-winged seraph possessed him, and golden-red light illuminated the entire area, covering every corner.

Those invisible, high-speed opponents were exposed under the divine light, and their speed was reduced by 50%.

Then it became a one-sided "whack-a-mole" game.

And so, the Martial Arts Academy team stormed into the finals with no teammates even lifting a finger.

The opponent in the finals was someone no one expected.

It's a team I've never heard of before, the True Dragon Sect Team.

This team comes from a secluded island overseas and is said to possess a trace of the bloodline of an ancient dragon.

Their captain was a tall, slender boy with vertical pupils named Long Aotian.

Long Aotian is twenty years old this year, a level 64 Power Attack Soul Emperor!

Martial Soul: Golden Sacred Dragon.

"Martial Arts Academy? It's nothing more than hothouse flowers relying on the Holy Emperor's legacy."

In a pre-match interview, Long Aotian was incredibly arrogant, declaring, "Today, my True Dragon Sect will prove to the world who truly is the number one beast spirit in the world!"

In the box.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena's lips curled into a dangerous smile, and the teacup in her hand instantly turned to dust.

"True Dragon Sect? Golden Sacred Dragon? Mentioning dragon blood in front of me? Doesn't he know that the Golden Sacred Dragon is nothing more than Nuan Nuan and Nuo Nuo's mount?"

The golden holy dragon mentioned by Gu Yuena is naturally the one that Hu Bai separated from Yu Xiaogang.

It is now the guardian beast of the Martial Soul Empire, but most of the time, it is also Nuannuan and Nuonuo's mount.

Hu Bai quickly comforted her, "Na'er, don't be angry, don't be angry. They're just a bunch of country bumpkins who've never seen the world. Let Nuonuo teach them a lesson."

On the competition stage.

Long Aotian looked at the lazy Nuonuo in front of him and sneered, "Little sister, your martial soul is also a dragon? Hmph, that kind of mixed aura, does it deserve to be called a dragon? Today I'll show you what true dragon suppression is!"

Nuonuo finally opened all her eyes.

She looked at Long Aotian as if he were a fool.

"True Dragon Suppression? Are you kidding me?"

"Game start!"

boom!
Long Aotian unleashed his power instantly, and six spirit rings rose up.

A colossal golden phantom roared behind him, its terrifying dragon might sweeping across the entire arena.

"Kneel down!" Long Aotian roared, trying to suppress Nuonuo with his bloodline.

However, something shocking happened.

Faced with the oppressive aura of the Golden Holy Dragon, Nuonuo not only did not kneel, but instead slowly floated into the air.

The five spirit rings beneath her feet pulsed, signaling, "Fifth Spirit Skill: Dragon God - Bloodline Deprivation!"

hold head high--! ! !
A dragon's roar, infinitely more noble than that of the Golden Sacred Dragon and seemingly emanating from the ancient primordial era, burst forth from Nuonuo's small body.

The phantom of the Nine-Tailed Chaos Dragon God appears!

Although it was just a phantom, its nine-colored scales and its eyes that seemed to see through everything in the world instantly made all the beast spirit masters in the audience feel breathless.

Pfft!
The once arrogant Long Aotian had his golden holy dragon phantom on his body collapse the moment that dragon roar rang out!

He was struck dumb, his knees slammed to the ground, his whole body trembling, unable to even lift his head.

This is a fear from the depths of one's soul! It is the instinct of subjects upon seeing the emperor!
"A real... a real dragon? No... what kind of dragon is this?!" Long Aotian roared in terror.

Nuonuo looked down at me with indifferent eyes: "Playing with dragons in front of me? You dare to challenge me?"

"Also, you just said my martial soul is mixed? Then I'll show you what the ultimate mystery of the elements is."

"Self-created Soul Skill: Nine-Colored World-Destroying Lotus!"

She gently raised her tiny, chubby hand.

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Light, Darkness.

Nine ultimate elements converged in the air, transforming into a stunning nine-colored lotus flower, which slowly floated towards the True Dragon Sect's group.

The lotus flower looked beautiful, but the destructive energy it contained made even the titled Douluo referees outside the protective shield change their expressions.

"Quick! Strengthen the protective shield!" the referee shouted.

Rumble!
A lotus flower bloomed at the center of the True Dragon Sect's ranks.

There were no screams, only fireworks that were dazzling to the extreme.

When the smoke cleared, an entire layer of the arena had been removed.

All seven members of the True Dragon Sect were unconscious at the bottom of the pit, their clothes tattered. If Nuonuo hadn't held back at the last moment, they would be ashes by now.

Instant kill!

A complete and utter annihilation!

The entire stadium fell into a deathly silence, which was then followed by cheers that could have lifted the roof off!
"Champion! Martial Arts Academy!"

"Hu Nuannuan! Hu Nuonuo!"

The rules of the game prohibit killing.

And Daddy is watching, so she can't let him down.

Gu Yuena: You only think about your father, not your mother?
Hu Nuannuan shook her head helplessly to the side, "If you offend me, you might just get a little pranked."

But you messed with my sister, tsk tsk tsk.

Hu Nuannuan had to admit that her sister was indeed very abnormal.

However, there was nothing that could be done about it, as her younger sister's martial soul perfectly inherited the bloodlines of her father and mother, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox and the Dragon God.

You could say he's invincible in spirit!

Elemental power is invincible!

Physical strength is invincible!
As for her, although she also has the bloodline of the nine-tailed seraphim, it seems that she only inherited part of the spiritual talent and the charm talent.

She can also control other elements, but not as skillfully as Nuonuo.

Her most proficient element is still the holiness, light, and fire possessed by seraphim.

……

Just as the referee was about to announce the winner.

Sudden changes occur.

"How dare you, you brat! You injured my young master and destroyed the foundation of my sect! Prepare to die!"

An aged, murderous voice descended from the sky.

An old man dressed in a golden robe appeared, stepping through the void, with nine spirit rings flashing around him—a Title Douluo!

This is the captain of the True Dragon Sect, a level 92 Title Douluo.

Seeing his young master being beaten so badly, he was so protective of his young master that he disregarded the rules of the competition and attacked Nuonuo on the stage!
A gigantic golden dragon claw, carrying the terrifying pressure of a Title Douluo, fiercely grabbed at Nuonuo.

"Watch out!" the audience exclaimed.

Shui Bing'er, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling, who were below the stage, were about to make a move, but found it was too late.

However, Nuonuo and Nuannuan on the stage remained completely unfazed. Nuonuo even yawned, not even glancing at the old man in the sky.

Nuan Nuan, holding her sword, curled her lips into a mocking smile: "You beat up the little one, and now the old one comes? Daddy already told you about this plot."

Just as the dragon claw was about to touch Nuonuo.

"Certainly."

A single, understated word, yet it seemed to carry the weight of truth.

Time seemed to stand still in the entire Great Soul Arena at that moment.

The imposing elder of the True Dragon Sect remained frozen in mid-air, his expression contorted in a ferocious grimace, unable to even move his eyes.

Then, three figures appeared out of thin air on the arena.

The one in the center, dressed in white, with nine tails swaying, looked like a god descending to earth.

On the left, a stunning blonde, radiating angelic glory.

On the right, a man with silver hair exudes a cool and aloof aura, his dragon-like power unparalleled.

It was the Holy Emperor Hu Bai and his family.

Hu Bai didn't even glance at the elder, but gently walked up to his two daughters and patted their heads.

"You played well, you didn't embarrass your father."

After he finished speaking, he slowly turned around and looked at the elder who was frozen in the air. His eyes instantly turned cold and piercing, as if he were looking at a dead man.

"How dare a mere mixed-blood lizard attack my daughter?"

"Who gave you the courage?"

“I haven’t been involved in anything these past few years, but I’m not dead.”

boom!
Hu Bai's eyes narrowed slightly.

The level 92 titled Douluo didn't even have time to scream before his body instantly turned into dust and vanished into the world.

At this moment, all 500,000 audience members knelt down in unison, their cheers deafening.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Holy Emperor! Long live the Holy Emperor! Long live the Holy Emperor! Long live the Holy Emperor!"

Hu Bai stood with his hands behind his back, his voice resounding throughout the entire continent:
"Today, I'm putting my words here."

"When juniors compete, they should rely on their own abilities, and there should be no regrets regardless of victory or defeat."

"But if some old geezer tries to bully the younger ones and harm my daughter..."

Hu Bai's gaze swept across the entire scene, especially towards the sects and forces hidden in the shadows.

"The True Dragon Sect will suffer the same fate."

"Effective immediately, the True Dragon Sect is hereby expelled!"

Domineering! Protective! Invincible!

Nuannuan and Nuonuo hugged Hu Bai's legs on either side, their faces full of pride.

Look! This is our daddy! The strongest man on the entire continent!

……

On that day, the Martial Arts Academy once again lifted the championship trophy without any suspense.

The names Hu Nuannuan and Hu Nuonuo spread throughout the entire Douluo Continent overnight, becoming idols in the hearts of countless young men and women.

At the post-match celebration banquet.

Hu Bai personally cooked a feast for his two daughters, preparing their favorite dishes.

"Daddy, aren't we amazing?" Nuan Nuan asked, holding the trophy and looking for praise.

"Amazing! Absolutely amazing!" Hu Bai picked up a piece of braised pork for Nuan Nuan and ladled a bowl of soup for Nuo Nuo. "Even more amazing than Daddy was back then!"

Actually, he didn't participate in the Soul Master Competition at all back then.

There was no other way; the Soul Master Competition hadn't even started yet, and he had already become a god. It wouldn't be appropriate for him to bully those people.

Qian Renxue and Gu Yuena watched from the side, their eyes filled with happiness.

"What's next? What are your plans?" Gu Yuena asked.

Nuannuan swallowed the braised pork, her eyes sparkling with excitement: "The Dean said we can graduate early! I want to travel the mainland! To see the places Daddy went! To do chivalrous deeds!"

Nuonuo lay on the table and said, "I'll go with my sister. Sometimes I'm a little worried about what she does."

Hu Nuannuan blushed: "Nonsense! I'm very sensible in my actions, unlike you who only thinks about sleeping all day."

Looking at his two daughters, who were growing up and becoming more independent, Hu Bai felt reluctant to part with them, but he also knew that fledglings would eventually spread their wings and fly high.

"Okay! Go wherever you want!"

Hu Bai raised his glass and looked out at the starry sky.

"But this continent may still be too small for you."

"When you have finished traveling the continent and broken through to the Title Douluo level, Daddy will take you to the God Realm, to the stars and the sea, to see a wider world!"

……

Seventy-five years of the Holy Emperor's Calendar, the Spirit Hall.

Here stands a towering pagoda that reaches straight into the clouds—the Star Gazing Tower. It is where the Holy Emperor Hu Bai usually secludes himself to cultivate and comprehend the universe, and it is also the closest place in the entire Douluo Continent to the "Heavenly Dao."

At the top of the tower, the wind howled, but it couldn't even lift a single hair from Hu Bai's head.

At this moment, he sat cross-legged in the void, his eyes closed.

On that snow-white dress, a faint nine-colored halo seemed to flow.

Behind him, the nine enormous phantom fox tails did not dance wildly as they had during the battle, but instead spread out slowly like nine tranquil rivers, merging into the surrounding space.

For the past ten years or so, Hu Bai has lived a very comfortable life.

He stayed at home to take care of his wife and daughters, watching Nuannuan and Nuonuo grow from babbling to famous throughout the mainland.

He ruled with an air of nonchalance, watching his sister and teacher manage the Martial Soul Empire with great efficiency.

However, beneath this comfort, Hu Bai was constantly pondering a question.

"What is a god? What is a king?"

Back then, he relied on the seven elemental gods, Rong Nianbing, and the Asura God to become a god and obtain his current divine position.

Later, he devoured the abyss and assisted the God of Destruction in expanding the divine realm. His own cultivation had already reached the level of a first-level god.

But he always felt that something was missing.

The Asura God controls slaughter and order, the Destruction God King controls destruction, the Goddess of Life controls life, and evil and good control emotions.

The five great god-kings, each with their own duties, form the cornerstone of the divine realm.

"what about me?"

"My nine-tailed celestial fox is the master of charm, spirit, auspiciousness, and destiny."

"But... is this really the end?"

Hu Bai suddenly opened his eyes.

The left eye looks back to the past; the right eye sees into the future.

The Eyes of Destiny.

"destiny……"

Hu Bai murmured softly, reaching out a hand and gently grasping at the void.

In his view, the world is no longer a physical entity.

Mountains and rivers turned into green lines, and all living beings turned into white dots of light, with countless intricate threads connecting these dots of light.

That is cause and effect, that is the thread of fate.

"Asuras judge sin, destroy and corrupt matter, and life is created. But all of this is within the torrent of fate."

"If I could control destiny, I would be above the five great god-kings."

"I do not obey fate; I am fate!"

As the thin veil in Hu Bai's heart was pierced, an unprecedentedly terrifying aura erupted from the top of the Star Gazing Tower, instantly sweeping across the entire Douluo Plane and even reaching the God Realm!
