Douluo Continent: An Adventure Begins in Wuhun City

"Clang! Clang!"

The Dark Nether Armor struggled violently, causing the black armor on its body to collide. But soon, with a sudden stiffening of its body, it completely collapsed to the ground, losing its breath. The soul power within the armor began to dissipate, gathering around its body to form a deep yellow soul ring.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing quickly took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed her heart, which was pounding wildly with excitement.

She was well aware that absorbing a spirit ring was a dangerous process, and since she was absorbing one across age limits, she had to maintain a calm mindset to increase her chances of success.

After a while, once her mind had calmed down, Zhu Zhuqing sat cross-legged, communicated with her martial soul, released her soul power, and guided it toward the soul ring.

Meanwhile, Chen Yao and the others found a large rock to sit on and watched over Zhu Zhuqing to prevent any accidents from happening to her.

At first, Zhu Zhuqing's expression was calm, and her soul power circulated smoothly. However, as time went by, her face began to contort, she clenched her teeth, her whole body was soaked in sweat, and the energy surrounding her began to become chaotic and turbulent.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yao narrowed his eyes slightly and sighed inwardly.

It seems that without special abilities, absorbing a soul ring across age limits is indeed quite challenging.

At the same time, Chen Yao also became serious, staring intently at Zhu Zhuqing, hoping to save her in time if she really couldn't refine it.

Fortunately, after this period of special training by Chen Yao and Gu Yuena, Zhu Zhuqing's condition did not worsen, and her soul power gradually stabilized. It seemed that she had suppressed the violent energy in that soul ring.

The rest is much simpler. All that's needed is for Zhu Zhuqing to adapt to the power within the soul ring and to figure out the circulation path of the soul power. Once that's done, the refining will be considered a success.

Another period of time passed, and at this moment, the soul power surrounding Zhu Zhuqing began to slowly contract. After it completely entered her body, she slowly opened her eyes, and joy shone in her beautiful, obsidian-like eyes.

"It seems the new soul skill suits your taste perfectly."

Upon seeing Zhu Zhuqing's appearance, Chen Yao chuckled.

"Yes, it's the Netherworld Transformation you mentioned, teacher!"

Zhu Zhuqing said excitedly.

As she spoke, she was about to activate her soul power to conceal it for Chen Yao to see, but was impatiently interrupted by Qian Renxue beside her.

"Alright, didn't Chen Yao already explain your soul skill? We don't want to see it again. Just enjoy it to yourselves. Now it's time to help me absorb the soul ring!"

"you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's smile vanished, and she turned to look at Qian Renxue with resentment. This Qian Renxue always liked to sabotage things, which was so annoying!

"What are you looking at! Want to practice with me again? Haven't you had enough of being beaten up before?"

Qian Renxue glared back defiantly, raising her small fist as if eager to fight.

"Dead Bird Man, I will definitely defeat you someday!"

Zhu Zhuqing was so angry that her chest heaved violently, her chest heaving with a tremendous force, like rolling rocks.

After the crisis she felt stemming from her sister was resolved, she was still in a state of confusion, feeling like she had lost her goal. But now, her goal has become clear again. Qian Renxue's mouth is just too despicable. One day, she will personally shove her claws into her mouth and tear her mouth apart!

"No, no, no later, let's do it now! Let this gutter black cat experience what it means to be baptized by holy light!"

Qian Renxue looked disdainful and scoffed.

She's not a man, she doesn't have a broad mind, and she doesn't care about things going back and forth with you. If she has a grudge, she'll settle it on the spot.

At this moment, Gu Yuena sat upright, watching this scene with a smile on her face, her whole demeanor calm.

Influenced by the noblewomen in the neighborhood, she considered herself the principal wife and naturally did not participate in the struggles among the concubines, taking it all in stride.

Seeing the situation between the two becoming increasingly tense, Chen Yao finally had enough of the show and stepped in to interrupt.

"Alright, stop wasting time and hurry up and find the spirit ring."

Upon hearing the words "soul ring," Qian Renxue instantly calmed down, glared fiercely at Zhu Zhuqing, then moved closer to Chen Yao, reverting to her obedient demeanor, blinking her bright, innocent eyes.

"Tsk!"

Zhu Zhuqing watched Qian Renxue's pretentious act from the side and made a sarcastic sound. Then, ignoring the unfriendly look she was getting, she crossed her arms, supporting the heavy object, and turned her head to the side, too lazy to pay any more attention to the annoying Qian Renxue.

"Xue'er, I don't know anything about light-type soul beasts. You tell Na'er what kind of soul beast you need."

After hearing Chen Yao's words, Qian Renxue was too lazy to argue with Zhu Zhuqing anymore. She rested her fingers on her chin, her eyes flickered slightly, and after thinking for a moment, her eyes suddenly lit up as she looked at Gu Yuena.

"Sister Na, it's me."

Before Qian Renxue could finish speaking, Chen Yao suddenly turned around abruptly, his gaze fixed on a certain spot in the forest. The violent movement interrupted Qian Renxue's train of thought.

"what happened?"

At this moment, everyone was looking at Chen Yao, their eyes filled with doubt and curiosity.

Chen Yao remained silent, his eyes narrowed as he stared at a certain area ahead.

He could sense that a battle was taking place there, and he could feel the familiar soul power surging and churning.

He did not possess divine consciousness. Although his mental strength was higher than that of ordinary people, it was not at the level of projecting it outwards.

However, the soul force in front of him had been deeply connected with him before, which is why he was able to sense it from such a distance.

Within that faintly perceptible soul power lies the power of starlight!

Is it Tang Yuehua?

"I'll go take a look!"

With that, Chen Yao leaped into the air and sped toward the dense forest ahead!

For a moment, the girls who remained standing looked at each other, all seeing the doubt and confusion in each other's eyes.

"Let's follow them and see."

Gu Yuena was also curious about what could excite Chen Yao so much, so she led the two women to chase after Chen Yao in the direction he was going.

At this moment, in the dense forest, a dozen figures lined up, forming an encirclement, surrounding a group of extremely young-looking girls inside.

In front of them stood a young man dressed in fine clothes, with handsome features but a pale complexion, sunken eyes with a smoky hue, looking like he had indulged in excessive sexual activity.

The young man was holding a graceful girl in his arms. She had a beautiful face, but her expression showed a hint of panic and unease.

"Tang Yuehua, you never thought this day would come, did you? Surrender now!"

The young man's face was arrogant, his laughter was unrestrained, and his eyes were fixed on the voluptuous woman at the head of the group of girls.

His eyes were filled with longing and possessiveness.

This woman was none other than Tang Yuehua!

Tang Yuehua, now refined by time, possesses an even greater charm than before.

Her skin was as white as snow, and her graceful figure was perfectly accentuated by the cheongsam-style fitted instructor's dress.

Her chin was delicate and smooth, her eyebrows were arched and delicate, her nose was straight and upturned, and her hair was tied up and secured with a silver hairpin. Every move she made revealed a mature charm, just like a ripe peach, making people want to take a bite and enjoy the plump flesh and sweet juice!

However, at this moment, the charming Tang Yuehua had her delicate eyebrows furrowed, and her beautiful eyes held a hint of murderous intent as she stared at the dissolute young man in front of her without uttering a sound.

Over the years, for various reasons, Tang Yuehua and three other women settled down in Tiandou City and founded an academy called Willow Moon Grass Academy.

The students are mostly female.

The dean is Liu Erlong, who is the most powerful. Together with A Yin and Tang Yuehua, the teaching staff is not weak. Even though the city has only been established for a short time, it has already made a name for itself in the powerful Tiandou City.

This young man's background is not simple either. His name is Bai Xiang. He is the son of the leader of the White Tiger Sect, one of the three lower sects in Tiandou City. He is a genuine playboy. Even Chen Yao, who is known for his debauchery, would shake his head if he saw his life story.

Previously, the sect leader of the White Tiger Sect had attached great importance to the newly established Liu Yuecao Academy. Bai Xiang led a group of White Tiger Sect disciples to exchange and learn there. However, upon arrival, they were aroused by their instructor, the beautiful young woman Tang Yuehua. They tried to harass her, but Tang Yuehua kicked them all out of the academy gate along with the other White Tiger Sect disciples.

Originally, Tang Yuehua refrained from killing Bai Xiang due to the rules of Tiandou City, but she did not expect that Bai Xiang would hold a grudge.

This time, she led a group of students to the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for spirit rings, but unexpectedly, Bai Xiang found an opportunity and surrounded them with his men.

“Angelica, you were the one who leaked our whereabouts today, weren’t you? The academy has always treated you well, so why did you do this?”

At this moment, Tang Yuehua ignored Bai Xiang's clamor and instead focused her gaze on the woman in his arms, asking indifferently.

The girl named Angelie didn't dare to look at Tang Yuehua and buried her head in Bai Xiang's chest.

"Hahaha, Tang Yuehua, why ask so many questions? This is called 'discretion is the better part of valor.' To you, Angelie is just an ordinary student, but to me, she could become my concubine and receive my favor. Isn't it obvious which is more important?"

Bai Xiang's laughter was lewd. In front of everyone, he even picked up Angelie's small breasts in his arms and squeezed them hard, causing her to let out a soft cry of pain.

This audacious act made Tang Yuehua's expression even more gloomy. A trace of murderous aura began to rise from her body, and her slightly bloodshot eyes swept over the powerful figures around her. She subconsciously clenched her fists.

Although her strength has increased rapidly over the years, reaching the level of a Soul King of level 56, the people around her are a mix of Soul Masters and Soul Kings, and there are even some powerful figures at the Soul Emperor level. If they really start fighting, it might be a bit tricky.

Looks like I'll have to fight tooth and nail.

Tang Yuehua sighed inwardly. She hadn't expected that bringing just a few students with 1st and 2nd ring levels to the outskirts of the forest would lead to this kind of trouble. Traitors are truly hateful!

Meanwhile, Bai Xiang saw that Tang Yuehua was not speaking, and assumed that she was resigned to her fate. He was excited and his eyes burned with excitement, and he burst out laughing again.

"Well, Tang Yuehua, surrender now. Although you look like you've already been 'exploited', I don't care. I'll give you the title of a concubine and pamper you from now on. As for your students, I won't touch them. Otherwise, if I were to do it myself, their fate would be hard to predict!"

As soon as Bai Xiang said this, the powerful figures around him also released their soul power in a very cooperative manner. Soul rings lit up behind them, and for a moment the scene was magnificent and the aura was imposing.

Behind Tang Yuehua, the students had never seen anything like this before. Every single one of them started to tremble, their faces filled with terror. Some of them even looked at Tang Yuehua, as if hoping that she would surrender.

"Teacher, I...I'm scared! Maybe you could..."

At that moment, a young girl stepped out from behind, speaking to Tang Yuehua with a hint of timidity, while simultaneously giving Bai Xiang a bright smile.

Clearly, Bai Xiang's imposing appearance at this moment had greatly moved her, and she wanted to attract his attention and, like Angelina's female classmate, throw herself into his arms.

Tang Yuehua was taken aback when she heard this, then turned her head and looked at the female student who had spoken with a meaningful gaze.

"Haha! Interesting, beautiful lady, you're quite interesting. What's your name?"

Seeing this female student impulsively try to persuade Tang Yuehua, Bai Xiang couldn't stop smiling.

"Young Master Bai, my name is Ya Lan!"

The girl said excitedly, her gaze towards Bai Xiang filled with anticipation.

"Very well! Yalan, I'll remember you. You'll be my concubine too!"

"Thank you, Young Master Bai! I hope you will take pity on me!"

However, just as Yalan was overjoyed, another female student stood up, pointed at Yalan with a livid face, and reprimanded her.

"You bastard! Our teacher is always so good to us, how could you say something like that? Have you lost your conscience?"

Upon hearing this, Ya Lan's face immediately turned angry, and she wanted to retort, but Tang Yuehua suddenly reached out and gently stroked Ya Lan's head.

Yalan was taken aback, turned around and looked at Tang Yuehua, who had a warm and gentle smile on her face.

"Yalan, haven't I been good to you usually?"
