Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

Despite its massive exterior, Douluo Realm City is unlike any other city. They seemed to have entered the interior of a colossal building, with interconnected pathways, and the bright soul-guided lighting created a spacious and welcoming atmosphere.

Aside from the large number of people, which made Liu Erlong a little irritable, there was nothing else wrong.

Suddenly, a child appeared in Liu Erlong's arms, almost startling her so much that she used her soul power.

It was a little boy, quite well-behaved. He immediately apologized after bumping into someone, "Oops! I'm sorry, Auntie! I bumped into you!"

"What's wrong, little one?" Liu Erlong, who was at ease, didn't think anything of it.

The boy in front of me was holding the hand of a little girl, who seemed to be his sister. Apart from her somewhat indifferent expression, she was eating an ice pop and ignoring the situation.

Good looks are undoubtedly the most important factor in one's success. Purple Pearl immediately changed her demeanor, supporting herself on her knees, bending down and smiling, "What's wrong, little one? Why are you in such a hurry?"

The boy was indeed very well-behaved. "Oh! It's like this, my sheep might be lost. She's shy and ran away too fast! Aunties, have you seen a very cute little sheep?"

"No, but we can help you look for it~" Liu Erlong readily agreed.

She found it strange that one child could have the strength of a Soul King, while the other girl seemed completely ordinary, with no fluctuations in soul power at all.

Chapter 337 Opening Battle

"Little friends, what are your names?" Liu Erlong asked as gently as possible.

Accompanied by the music that has never stopped since the opening of Douluo Realm City, which floats throughout the city through the amplification of soul guidance, this little misunderstanding between the older sister and the little boy actually has a touch of heartwarming atmosphere.

Unfortunately, it would have been quite nice if the little girl next to them hadn't been watching them with deadpan eyes while they were happily munching on their popsicles.

"Oh, Auntie, my name is Qian Qingyu. This is my mother's... younger sister, named Qianqian." Regarding Qianqian's identity, Qian Qingyu said he believed it. He believed everything. There was nothing more terrifying than one's own mother.

"Oh~ Where are your parents?" Liu Erlong asked, trying to be as amiable as possible. Qian Qingyu didn't call him "Auntie," so he became even more amiable and continued to ask.

Thinking about her own father, whom she didn't know where, Qian Qingyu, who had sneaked out with the help of other elders, also learned her lesson and said, "My aunt is my elder!"

At this moment, Qianqian actually nodded as if it were a serious matter.

"Hey! Gan Gan, you're here!"

Before Liu Erlong could ask any further questions, Qian Qingyu pulled Qianqian along and ran towards a long tunnel.

When they saw Qian Qingyu rush to the outermost edge of the passageway, near the fence at the very edge of the main venue, and pick up an adorable little lamb, Liu Erlong and Zi Zhenzhu were stunned as they followed her out of the passageway.

They were so stunned by the sight before them that they overlooked the fact that the two children were running around and the adults were not paying attention.

"What on earth is this thing?!" Purple Pearl exclaimed in surprise.

Leaving aside the vast central arena, before them stretched thousands of tiered seating areas. From the outside, it appeared as a unified city, but inside lay a completely different world.

Liu Erlong was startled back to his senses by Zi Zhenzhu's shout. "I say, I feel like I've heard that before..."

"Hey, Erlong, who are those people in the seats in the center of the venue? The High Priest of the Sea God is here too. Are they all Title Douluos?" However, Purple Pearl seemed not to hear her, her attention drawn to something else.

At the same time, Liu Erlong also realized that although there were many people in such a large venue, at least hundreds of thousands, it was quite quiet.

Following Purple Pearl's gaze, on the huge battle arena in the center of the main venue, there was a floating staircase that circled around the center.

It seemed to be suspended directly above Douluo Realm City by a huge iron lock, so that the audience below would not have to worry about affecting their view of the game. The luxurious seats on these floating steps represented the super VIP seats, which were a symbol of status.

"The one with the most people should be... let him go!" Just then, Liu Erlong exploded, eight soul rings burst out of her body, and her soul power surged toward Qian Qingyu.

The reason that made Liu Erlong instantly furious was quite simple: Qian Qingyu, holding the lamb, was facing three men, all of whom Liu Erlong knew and remembered well.

The powerful soul energy of the eight-ring Soul Douluo, carrying boundless rage, resounded throughout the entire Douluo Realm City: "Dai Mubai! Ma Hongjun! You two beasts are still alive!"

Obviously, the entire audience was in an uproar. Who were Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun? They were the biggest war criminals in the entire Douluo Continent.

Strangely, none of the big shots made a move, as if nothing had happened, and instead started chatting casually.

For example, Bibi Dong, who was sitting behind him with Chrysanthemum Demon and dozens of Title Douluos, wearing a magnificent purple battle suit, said unhurriedly, "Fire Dragon Mutant Martial Soul? It seems to be her. Congratulations to Sect Master Yu."

The seven major sects had settled in Douluo Realm City long ago, and they were originally so close that they were almost like family. However, on the opening day, the Spirit Hall arrived.

The seven Grand Masters, including Qian Daoliu, and dozens of Title Douluo from the Elder Hall led by Bibi Dong were all present.

What's even more unsettling is that Poseidon, the legendary Sea God Douluo and a level 99 Peerless Douluo, arrived with her seven titled Douluos, and they came together with the Spirit Hall.

How many melons are there among the seven major sects?

Aside from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Clear Sky School lost two titled elders. The most, including the brothers Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, was five titled Douluo.

Secondly, there's Yu Luomian from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and Tuoba Xi from the Holy Dragon Clan.

The atmosphere became awkward, and no one even bothered to chat. The tension was so intense it was unsettling.

Instead, it was Bibi Dong who spoke up, breaking the silence in this otherwise interesting turn of events.

But this might not be a good thing for Yu Yuanzhen, since Liu Erlong is rumored to be dead, and she is not a pure-blooded Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul.

"I am honored by Your Holiness's request, but I dare not accept it." Yu Yuanzhen could only maintain a facade of propriety.

The situation offstage was even more volatile. Just as the entire audience was in an uproar over Dai Mubai's appearance in Douluo Realm City, six figures flew out of a passageway at the highest point and arrived at the center of the battle in an instant.

At this moment, Dai Mubai was suddenly charged by Liu Erlong, and the two flew towards the smaller fighting arena at the edge of the arena, where they faced off.

Ma Hongjun and Tang San, who were originally full of confidence, wanted to run away in the moment of being stunned, but unfortunately they had no chance at all, as the six figures came too fast.

"Chaos of the Golden Bell!" Ma Hongjun and Tang San only heard this soft shout before they were both sent flying towards the Soul Arena in the distance.

That's right, it was a flying attack. The silver-haired Na'er, wielding the Silver Dragon Spear, charged towards Tang San with imposing grandeur.

The swift's high speed carried the changes in the Qimen formation, and Bai Chenxiang, wearing sunglasses, was already standing on the Soul Fighting Platform waiting for Ma Hongjun to land.

Ning Rongrong appeared directly above the main arena, hovering between the VIP seats and the main arena, and announced to everyone, "The Empire's number one wanted criminal, Dai Mubai, has appeared in Douluo Continent! Excellent! The tournament will now begin, let's end him with a Soul Master battle!"

In an instant, the chaotic noise subsided. When everyone came to their senses, they realized that Dai Mubai had practically walked into a trap. After all, dozens of Title Douluos were not to be trifled with.

Seeing her teammates fighting so fiercely, Ning Rongrong added fuel to the fire. She took out the soul bone of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor and sent it into the transparent box in the center of the sky.

A murmur of surprise rippled through the hall once more, followed by Ning Rongrong's announcement: "The rewards are now in their places, to be claimed by the strongest in the entire continent! The tournament is officially open!"

At this point, some people finally couldn't hold back any longer, not only because of the appearance of the 100,000-year-old soul bone, but also because of the battle situation below the stage.

...

"Qingyu, what's wrong?" Xiaowu gently patted Qian Qingyu's head and smiled with her eyes narrowed.

Those who remained in the same spot were Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar, and Xiao Wu.

“Auntie Rabbit, I’m fine~” Qian Qingyu shook his head, then pointed to the trembling lamb in his arms, “Gan Gan said they were bad people, and when they ran over, she was so scared that her legs went weak and she didn’t dare to move.”

Objectively speaking, Tang San brought Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun to the first row of the audience seats. This was a good location, but it was also dark. However, by sheer coincidence, they ran into a person and a sheep.

Following the man and the sheep was Liu Erlong, which made things even more complicated, as enemies meeting each other were extremely hostile.

At this moment, Dai Mubai's evil eyes were bloodshot, and the black and gray aura emanating from his body was strange and inexplicable. What was even more surprising was that he actually possessed nine spirit rings, two yellow, two purple, and five black, making him practically a titled Douluo.

"Seventh Soul Skill, White Tiger True Form!"

"Seventh Soul Skill, Crimson Dragon True Form!"

The two top-tier offensive beast spirits began a brutal clash, but after several rounds of fighting, Dai Mubai was forced to retreat.

"A titled Douluo? Is that all the strength you have?!" Liu Erlong shattered Dai Mubai's White Tiger protective barrier with a single punch, her words dripping with sarcasm.

The difference between people can sometimes be greater than that between a person and a dog. Liu Erlong also realized that Dai Mubai's strength was simply rapidly increased using the methods of an evil soul master, and his overall strength was very superficial.

He only managed to fight on par with Liu Erlong, a Soul Douluo, after reaching the Title Douluo level, which shows how weak he was.

"Zhuqing, don't get agitated. Dean Erlong is just disciplining him." Oscar, who was originally concerned about the child, found the adults even more worrying.

After finally assembling a team of six, Ning Rongrong went to take charge, while the rest of them either fought or comforted the children. He, however, still had to keep Zhu Zhuqing by his side.

Staring intently at Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing declared her will, "I will end him with my own hands!"

Knowing he couldn't stop him, Oscar let go; there were many things he really couldn't control anymore.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Spirit Cat True Form!" Zhu Zhuqing activated her Martial Soul True Form, separating the two combatants.

Dai Mubai was overjoyed and instinctively called out, "Zhu Qing!"

Unfortunately, Zhu Zhuqing wasn't there to save him.

"Dean Erlong, how about handing him over to me?" With a flash, Zhu Zhuqing stood on the Soul Battle Platform.

However, Liu Erlong, this tigress, had already exploded, "Why?! This androgynous eunuch tried to rape me, and I crippled him! Now I'm going to kill him with my own hands!"

In an instant, Dai Mubai's secret, which he had kept hidden for many years, was exposed to the public.

Enraged by being completely exposed, Dai Mubai roared, "Liu Erlong! I'll kill you!"

Liu Erlong, who originally wanted to continue, discovered that Zhu Zhuqing, the Soul Saint girl, was too fast and had directly taken over her job. The giant Netherworld Cat was already fighting with the white tiger that Dai Mubai had transformed into.

In a daze, she also caught a glimpse of a black phoenix burning to the side.

...

"Hahaha, little girl, you think you can compete with a mere sixth-ring Soul Emperor like yourself?!"

Clearly, Ma Hongjun reacted the moment he was knocked away. Nine spirit rings appeared around him, and he activated his Martial Soul True Body without hesitation, "Seventh Spirit Skill, Phoenix True Body!"

Facing Ma Hongjun, Bai Chenxiang saw that he hadn't even taken off his sunglasses, and said, "Dui, Black Glass!"

Crystallizing his entire body, Bai Chenxiang reached out and brushed aside the flames, remaining as immovable as a mountain within the Qimen formation.

"What's going on? Is this a martial spirit?" Ma Hongjun had obviously never encountered a master who used Qimen Dunjia before.

Pushing up his sunglasses, Bai Chenxiang's clothes hadn't even caught fire. "It's just Qimen Dunjia. You should have studied it before you defected, right? Also, you're in the Kan position, the character Kan, a water tornado!"

Kan represents water, and the white agarwood, which fluctuates freely in all directions, can constantly place Ma Hongjun in the most unfavorable Kan position, weakening him to the extreme.

A massive waterspout shot into the sky, completely engulfing Ma Hongjun, who was caught off guard. Although he was disoriented and confused, he was trying to figure out what to do. Suddenly, his pupils turned completely black. "Eighth Soul Skill, Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens!"

Unlike Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun's Evil Fire Phoenix is ​​more suitable for the cultivation method of Evil Soul Masters. Although it is equally ethereal, the difference lies in the evil fire characteristic of his martial soul.

At the same time, the Evil Fire Phoenix in its Martial Soul True Form state turned completely black, suddenly let out a loud cry, and released ripple-like flames, bursting out of the water tornado.

This is an area-of-effect attack, an all-around, indiscriminate attack, and the evil fire cannot be extinguished.

However, Bai Chenxiang didn't give him a chance, "Gen character, Earth Dragon Swimming!"

The solid stone fighting platform beneath Bai Chenxiang's feet seemed to turn into liquid, and she instantly fell into it, disappearing from sight. The Phoenix Evil Flame didn't even manage to inflict any damage.

"Kun, Earth River Chariot! Zhen, Nine Heavens Divine Thunder!" Having dodged it, it didn't matter anymore. Riding the giant River Chariot, Bai Chenxiang launched a lightning strike towards Ma Hongjun in the water tornado.

"This is what they mean by arbitrarily fluctuating the four plates?!"

Tang San, who was frantically dodging the Silver Empty Gun, was terrified beyond measure.
