Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

While the Qian Gu family was secretly pushing forward their blasphemous plan in the shadows, a deathly silence and confusion permeated the power center of Mingdu, in the office of the Federal Speaker, which was completely out of step with the outside world’s clamor.

Xu Tiandi sat alone in a specially made wheelchair, his back to the mountain of documents piled on his large desk, facing the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

Outside the window, the magnificent view of Mingdu, the capital of the Sun and Moon Federation, unfolds: towering soul-guided buildings stand side by side, aerial railcars shuttle back and forth like streaks of light, and the entire city shines brightly under the illumination of soul-guided lights, full of vitality and order.

This is proof of his painstaking efforts in leading the Federation step by step to prosperity.

However, at this moment, his face showed no air of triumph or confidence, only a deep and unfathomable sense of bewilderment and emptiness.

Those eyes, once sharp as an eagle's and enough to terrify countless political enemies, were now unfocused, as if seeing a distant and broken past through the prosperity before them.

Ever since he returned from the battlefield where Shrek Academy was completely annihilated, dragging his broken body back, an unprecedented sense of emptiness has enveloped and swallowed him like a cold tide.

His only two obsessions in life, the goals that sustained him through countless difficult years—avenging Yunming and confronting Yali face to face—were suddenly and completely achieved in this way.

Yun Ming is dead, his body and soul annihilated, killed by the very assassination he himself orchestrated.

Yali died too, along with the last spark of Shrek, silently extinguished. He didn't even get to hear her final explanation or repentance before he died at his hands.

The revenge has been taken.

The goal has been achieved.

But why is there no joy or relief in my heart, but only this boundless emptiness and loss?

It was as if the two towering pillars that had supported his entire life had collapsed, leaving behind only a desolate wasteland.

His gaze gradually became unfocused, and his thoughts uncontrollably sank into the long river of memories.

From the moment he was born into the Xu family and given the high hopes of being named "Heavenly Emperor," his fate was sealed.

Inheriting the will of Emperor Xu Tianran from ten thousand years ago, destroying the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, unifying the continent, and leading the Sun Moon Federation to unprecedented glory—this is a mission etched into his very bones.

He lived up to expectations, awakening his twin martial souls at the age of six: the top-tier martial souls inherited by the Sun and Moon Royal Family, "Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon" and "Sun," possessing innate full soul power and exceptional talent.

Even though the Xu family and the Federation were hostile to Shrek Academy, they had to admit that Shrek Academy at that time possessed the best cultivation resources on the continent.

So he was sent to Shrek Academy, where he spent twenty years in a prestigious yet oppressive academic life.

Those twenty years are a mark he doesn't want to look back on, yet he can't erase.

He and Yun Ming were twin stars of the same era, but they were destined to be each other's shadows.

As the saying goes, wherever there is sun, there will always be shadows.

And he, Xu Tiandi, was destined to be the shadow under the sun's light.

Xu Tiandi, through his own efforts and talent, is able to crush 99% of his peers, making him a peerless genius. It seems that he has also been blessed by the entire Douluo Continent, which has made his life very smooth.

But unfortunately, there's always Yun Ming above him!
That man was gentle, sunny, and seemed to be blessed by heaven and earth, experiencing extraordinary encounters, sudden enlightenment, and the favor of the powerful...

What Xu Tiandi had to fight tooth and nail for even a sliver of, Yun Ming took for granted as naturally as breathing.

No matter how hard Xu Tiandi tried to catch up, Yun Ming was always a step ahead of him, like an insurmountable mountain, firmly suppressing his pride.

After graduation, he returned to his family and, with his impeccable strength and ability, naturally became the head of the Xu family and the successor to the Federal Speaker.

A bright future awaits, and power is within one's grasp.

Even his family had arranged a future partner for him, Yali.

The girl, nurtured by the Xu family with all their resources and hailed as the most beautiful woman of her time, was kind, pure, and breathtakingly beautiful.

He was instantly captivated, and his excellence won Yali's heart.

Everything seemed to be heading towards perfection. However, at that highly anticipated wedding, Yun Ming arrived.

Alone, with only a towering divine spear, he stopped numerous powerful figures from the Xu family and the Federation.

Dozens of titled Douluo rushed forward, but they were all defeated by his single spear thrust, including Xu Tiandi himself, who was already extremely powerful at the time.

He watched helplessly as Yun Ming took Ya Li away, his soon-to-be wife, amidst the astonished and humiliated gazes of all the guests.

Not to mention that at that time, the so-called Tang Sect and Shrek Academy were also there to help, which resulted in half of the Federation's and Xu family's top combat forces being taken away... They simply couldn't stop Yun Ming from taking Ya Li away unscathed.

From that moment on, his life became completely bleak.

All glory and power seem so pale and laughable in the face of that naked dignity, crushed in public.

He was still that genius, reaching an astonishing level 98 in his early twenties, infinitely close to the Limit Douluo, only one level away from Yun Ming.

But this level is like an insurmountable chasm.

Without any extraordinary encounters or cheat codes, relying solely on his own arduous cultivation, no matter how hard he tried, he could never truly surpass the man beloved by the world.

Now, Yun Ming is dead, killed by the Federation's strongest force, which he led.

He proved himself, proving that the wisdom and power of mortals can also slay gods.

But... why does my heart feel so empty?

Even Yali... he couldn't finish her off himself, couldn't ask the "why" that had been suppressed for countless years.

She was like a shooting star, suddenly entering his life, and then disappearing completely in a way he couldn't accept when he was least prepared.

Only the sword marks in the wound remained at the scene; there were no other clues.

What is the attribute of Soul Power?
do not know.

What type of soul power is it?

I'm still not sure...

"Ha ha……"

An unconscious chuckle echoed in the quiet office, filled with self-mockery and bitterness.

Sitting in his wheelchair, he appeared exceptionally lonely and dejected; the imposing presence of the former Federal Speaker was nowhere to be seen.

"Sir Speaker."

Outside the door, the voice of Yu Guanzhi, commander of the Central Army Corps, rang out, accompanied by a soft knock.

Xu Tiandi seemed not to hear, still immersed in his own thoughts.

"Mr. Speaker?"

The voice outside the door carried a hint of anxiety, and the knocking became more rapid.

Finally, with a loud "bang," Yu Guanzhi forcefully broke open the sturdy soul-guided door to the office.

He rushed into the room, his gaze immediately landing on the wheelchair by the window. Seeing that Xu Tiandi, though dejected, appeared normal, he let out a long, deep sigh of relief, his face showing lingering fear and a hint of resentment.
"Speaker, why are you silent? Your subordinates thought you... had a moment of despair... This really frightened us."

Almost simultaneously, a series of hurried and powerful footsteps sounded, and the figure of Le Zheng'en, the commander of the Southern Army Corps, appeared at the door. He had obviously received Yu Guanzhi's message and rushed over as quickly as possible.

When he saw Xu Tiandi, haggard and with vacant eyes, in his wheelchair, the iron-blooded legion commander's face was instantly filled with shock and disbelief. (End of Chapter)
