Wuhun Luo Sanpao? I am the Dragon Emperor!

Chapter 45: First meeting Liu Erlong, conflict as soon as they met

The sunlight shines through the dense leaves, dappling onto the ground in the forest. A breeze blows, bringing with it bursts of fresh scent of grass and trees.

Yu Xiaolie walked briskly, following the route he remembered, heading towards the Tiandou Empire's military camp.

As the sky gradually darkened and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed half of the sky red, the familiar outline of the military camp finally appeared in sight.

The soldier guarding the camp gate saw Yu Xiaolie, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he greeted him warmly:

"Xiao Lie! Where have you been all this time? I haven't seen you for a long time."

"I went out to take care of some things."

Yu Xiaolie smiled slightly, exchanged greetings with the man, and then walked straight into the depths of the camp, heading for his second uncle Yu Luomian's office.

Everything was going on as usual in the camp. Soldiers were busy training, and occasionally soul masters would compete with each other on the field. The air was filled with the smell of sweat and dirt, interweaving into a unique military camp atmosphere.

When Yu Xiaolie arrived in front of Yu Luomian's office, he knocked on the door gently, but received no response.

Out of politeness, he knocked a few more times, but still there was silence.

"Could it be that he went out for something?"

Yu Xiaolie muttered to himself, then pushed the door open and walked in.

The office was dimly lit, the windows were half-closed, and files were neatly stacked on the table.

Yu Xiaolie took out the carefully prepared jade box from his arms and placed it in the center of the table, ensuring that Yu Luomian could see it first when she came back.

After he put his things away, he turned and walked towards the door.

Just then, a familiar shout came from outside the door.

"Good for you, Yu Xiaolie. After all this time, you finally decided to come back!"

Yu Xiaolie saw a familiar face appear at the door. It was his best brother in the barracks, Zhu Si.

Zhu Si had short hair combed back neatly and a sunny smile on his face. At this moment, he was looking at him with his hands on his hips, smiling.

"Brother Jus!"

Yu Xiaolie's eyes lit up and he walked forward quickly.

The two smiled at each other at the door, stretched out their arms tacitly, shook hands, and bumped their shoulders together.

"You kid, I haven't seen you for such a long time, I thought you were poisoned to death by the snake king!"

Jus said jokingly, but his eyes sparkled with genuine concern.

Yu Xiaolie understood that Dugu Xin must have told Zhu Si that he was going out to carry out a mission for him, but he did not mention the existence of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire and Dugu Bo.

"Haha, I didn't die, but I learned a lot."

Yu Xiaolie smiled and patted Zhu Si's arm.

Zhu Si looked Yu Xiaolie up and down and was surprised to find that his temperament seemed to have subtly changed, becoming more calm and reserved.

"Let's go to the martial arts arena and spar with each other. I've been practicing a lot lately. Let's see how much your strength has improved after going out for training!"

Jus raised an eyebrow, a challenge in his tone.

Yu Xiaolie readily agreed, and the two walked side by side towards the military camp's martial arts field.

The martial arts field is a large flat area, surrounded by wooden fences on all sides and covered with loess in the center. After countless people trained on it, the land here has been trampled very hard.

It was evening at this time, and most of the soldiers had finished their training. The martial arts field was empty, appearing exceptionally spacious.

The two men walked to the center of the venue, stood ten steps apart, stared at each other, and the desire to fight was burning in their eyes.

"Don't let me down, Xiao Lie!"

Zhu Si said with a smile, and then his martial spirit possessed him. A holy lotus blossomed under his feet, and brilliant light enveloped his whole body.

Two yellow, two purple and one black, five soul rings rose from under his feet, appearing particularly bright under the reflection of the setting sun.

Yu Xiaolie also summoned his martial soul, and Luo Sanpao's figure appeared beside him.

Two soul rings, one yellow and one purple, surrounded him and moved rhythmically up and down.

"Brother Zhu Si, please teach me!"

Yu Xiaolie said with a smile, while assuming a fighting stance.

Zhu Si was obviously eager to test Yu Xiaolie's progress. He flashed and took the lead in attacking:

"First Soul Skill: Holy Lotus Shining Strike!"

A dazzling light shot out from Zhu Si's palm and went straight towards Yu Xiaolie.

The light contained powerful soul power, and the air seemed to be distorted wherever it passed.

Facing this fierce attack, Yu Xiaolie remained calm, and his first soul ring lit up with a dazzling yellow and purple light.

"First Soul Skill: Devouring Breath!"

Following Yu Xiaolie's light shout, Luo Sanpao rushed forward, and an invisible suction force burst out from its body. As soon as Zhu Si's Holy Lotus Brilliant Light Attack came into contact with this power, it instantly melted and was completely absorbed.

The air in the martial arts arena fluctuated slightly because of the collision, but soon returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

A hint of shock flashed in Zhu Si's eyes. In the past, even if his first soul skill was swallowed up, there would be more or less residual soul power that would hit Xiao Lie, making Xiao Lie suffer terribly. But now it was swallowed up completely.

Without time to think, he quickly adjusted his state, burst out again, and the second soul ring lit up.

"Second Soul Skill: Lotus Vine Stab!"

In an instant, dozens of emerald green vines emerged from the ground and coiled around Yu Xiaolie like snakes.

These vines are covered with sharp thorns and look very aggressive.

Yu Xiaolie's eyes narrowed, and he dodged flexibly, while at the same time activating the Devouring Breath again, sucking away all the soul power in the vines.

The lotus vine, having lost the support of soul power, suddenly became weak and limp, falling helplessly to the ground.

"How is this possible?"

Zhu Si opened his mouth in surprise and his eyes widened.

"Your devouring power is much stronger than before, and..." He paused, an expression of disbelief on his face: "How much has your soul power level increased?"

Yu Xiaolie smiled slightly, did not answer, but made a gesture of "please continue".

Zhu Si raised his eyebrows, and then the third soul ring suddenly lit up with purple light.

"Third Soul Skill: Purifying Light!"

A beam of light, even more dazzling than the previous one, burst out from Zhu Si's chest, shooting straight into the sky, and then swooped down like a rainbow piercing the sun, aiming directly at Yu Xiaolie.

Faced with this powerful attack, Yu Xiaolie no longer chose to swallow it, but his second soul ring lit up, and a faint halo appeared around his body.

"Second Soul Skill: Light Breaking Sky Strike."

He pushed his palms forward, and the light-attributed soul power in his body burst out.

Luo Sanpao rushed forward, a phantom rushed out, roared in the air, and the dazzling power of light broke through the air, forming a huge pillar of light.

Collided head-on with Zhu Si's purifying light.

In an instant, two rays of light intertwined in mid-air, and the powerful and dazzling light illuminated the entire martial arts field.

Even the soldiers in the distance were attracted by the unusual light and stopped to watch.

After a long time and a fierce struggle, the two rays of light dissipated at the same time, and the air was filled with the aftermath of the soul power surge.

Fine beads of sweat oozed from Zhu Si's forehead, but his eyes were full of disbelief.

"Why... your soul skill is of light attribute?"

"And this extreme degree is even worse than mine!"

Jus asked incredulously.

"How have you been practicing during this period?"

Yu Xiaolie put away his martial spirit and smiled mysteriously.

"It was just a fluke."

"I believe you ghost!"

After hearing this, Zhu Si started cursing.

The two of them found a spot on the edge of the martial arts field and sat down to rest.

The sunset glowed a fiery red, dyeing the entire sky and forest a brilliant red.

"By the way, do you know where my second uncle went? I didn't see him in the office just now."

Yu Xiaolie asked, looking into the distance.

Jus shook his head.

"I don't know exactly where they went, but the military camp has been quite busy recently. Many people are out on missions. They might be dealing with something."

Yu Xiaolie nodded, and suddenly remembered the pills he had placed on the table, and his heart tightened.

After all, it was a pill that he had carefully refined. If his second uncle was out and it was left on his desk for a long time, with people coming and going in the camp, it would be worrying. He had to go back and check on it quickly.

He stood up and greeted Jus.

"Come on, let's go to the office again."

Zhu Si nodded and followed Yu Xiaolie back to the office.

When they arrived at the office door, they found that it had been opened a crack and the sound of rummaging through things could be faintly heard from inside.

Yu Xiaolie and Zhu Si looked at each other, quietly pushed open the door, and saw a little girl about ten years old standing in the office.

The little girl has long, shiny black hair and is wearing a blue dress. She looks petite and cute from behind.

At this moment, she was standing in front of the desk, holding the pill left by Yu Xiaolie in her hand, rubbing it curiously.

Yu Xiaolie's heart sank. The pill was carefully refined by him using precious immortal herbs. It could not be rubbed casually, otherwise the efficacy would be greatly reduced.

Seeing that the little girl had deformed the pill, Yu Xiaolie could no longer control his anger and rushed forward.

"Who are you to touch my things?"

He shouted sharply, reaching out to take the pill back.

The little girl was startled by the sudden scolding, but her expression quickly turned to anger, with a hint of stubbornness in her eyes.

She quickly put her hands behind her back to prevent Yu Xiaolie from taking the pill.

"Bah! Where did this savage come from!"

The little girl shot back without showing any weakness, her voice sharp.

Yu Xiaolie became even angrier and reached out to grab the little girl's wrist, but unexpectedly the little girl was agile and dodged it deftly.

A chase breaks out in the office.

Zhu Si tried to dissuade him anxiously.

"Don't fight, don't fight, let's talk it out nicely!"

However, the situation was out of control. Yu Xiaolie grabbed the little girl's wrist and twisted it hard, causing the pill to fall from her hand.

Yu Xiaolie quickly reached out to catch it.

The little girl felt pain, and the anger in her eyes grew even stronger. Suddenly, a strong wave of soul power burst out from her body.

"Who are you to treat me like this? Do you know this is my father's office?"

the little girl roared, her voice thick with pride and anger.

dad?

Hearing this, Yu Xiaolie was stunned, and an incredible idea flashed through his mind.

Just then, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door, followed by a familiar figure rushing in.
