Douluo Continent: An Adventure Begins in Wuhun City

He valued his life so much, and now that he was in power, even when he was living a carefree life in Wuhun City, he still required a patrolling law enforcement officer to keep an eye on him at all times.

If he does anything unusual in the city, he will immediately summon the other law enforcement officers in the city.

This is why the law enforcement team arrived so quickly, after only a few words of conflict.

"Enough! Let go of Deacon Chen. What good are you except dumping all the trouble on me!"

However, just as the atmosphere between them became a little awkward, leaving Yu Xiaogang unsure whether to let go or continue, Liu Erlong's angry roar broke the silence.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's expression froze for a moment. He then released his grip on Chen Yao's collar, stiffly turned around, and explained.

"Erlong, I did this for you..."

"Stop talking about doing this for me! You got angry because of me, and then you went to Deacon Chen to vent your anger. And then what? You vented your anger, but in the end, it was me who suffered!"

Liu Erlong's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Yu Xiaogang, roaring at the top of his lungs.

"No...no! Erlong! Listen to me..."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang panicked and offered a somewhat flustered explanation.

"What did you say? You can't do anything to Deacon Chen because of your good relationship with the Holy Maiden, but I have no power or influence, and in the end, I can only pay the price for your momentary anger! Why should I!"

For the first time in six months, Liu Erlong revealed a different emotion in front of Yu Xiaogang and Flander, one that was beyond her usual indifference. But it was so violent that it left the two of them at a loss for what to do.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang was speechless, unsure of what to say.

"If you really care about me, either resolve this matter cleanly and thoroughly, or calm down and stop causing me more trouble because of your emotions!"

After coldly uttering this sentence, Liu Erlong abandoned the chaotic scene and left.

Yu Xiaogang and Flander were left dumbfounded.

Straightening his slightly wrinkled collar, Chen Yao looked at the dramatic ending and laughed with a playful expression.

"Master Yu, you should really be glad that the Holy Maiden is sentimental. Otherwise, today's matter would not have been resolved so easily. It's just a pity for Liu Erlong. I wonder how much more suffering she will have to endure because of your willfulness?"

After saying this, Chen Yao turned around and prepared to leave.

Upon hearing Chen Yao's words, Yu Xiaogang's veins bulged and he was furious.

"Besides relying on Dong'er's power, what else do you have? If you have the guts, come at me. Don't make things difficult for Erlong, a mere woman!"

However, Chen Yao didn't turn his head and said calmly.

"Come talk to me like this when you've completely severed ties with the Holy Maiden. I know that I am who I am today because of the Holy Maiden. I respect and admire the Holy Maiden."

Unlike some people who are unaware of their own influence despite being under the protection of the Holy Maiden, you have published quite a few articles over the years. Why do they look so similar to those recorded in the Spirit Hall's archives?

Do you know why no one has come knocking on our door?

If it weren't for the Holy Maiden, you would have been captured and torn to pieces by the powerful figures of the Spirit Hall for leaking its secrets. Even if your father were Yu Yuanzhen, he couldn't have saved you..."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's expression immediately turned ugly, and he stammered.

"Isn't it because the Spirit Hall is only concerned with its own interests? Over the years, how many spirit masters have gone astray because they haven't received proper guidance? I'm doing this for the sake of all spirit masters in the world!"

However, Chen Yao sneered upon hearing this.

"Heh, you speak so righteously, then why don't you publish the achievements of your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in the field of dragon-type beast spirits? So you don't care that they're not your own hard work?"

After uttering these last words, Chen Yao ignored Yu Xiaogang, whose face darkened as the surrounding people's gazes grew increasingly strange, and turned away.

Actually, Chen Yao didn't feel anything about Yu Xiaogang's actions. After all, he was a bad person too, and all he had to do was mind his own business.

However, since Yu Xiaogang brought it up today, he doesn't mind having a go at it with him. Standing on the moral high ground, he's a professional!

······

As night deepened, Liu Erlong lay on his tattered straw mat as usual, enduring hunger and tossing and turning.

Suddenly, from a distance, a faint sound of footsteps came from outside the drafty house.

Upon hearing those familiar footsteps, Liu Erlong was immediately jolted awake, a surge of joy rising in his heart, his eyes gleaming. He abruptly stood up, sat upright, and waited patiently.

"boom!"

Before long, a familiar sound of a door being kicked open rang out, and Chen Yao's slightly thin figure, shrouded in the dim light of the sky, slowly entered.

After he entered, Liu Erlong, using the sparse moonlight, was able to see Chen Yao's face clearly.

Unlike his usual wild and playful smile, his face was now calm and indifferent.

Looking at Chen Yao's unfamiliar expression.

Liu Erlong trembled. She dared not think that Chen Yao would blame her for the conflict with Yu Xiaogang today and make her suffer even more severe humiliation!

Chapter 48: Finally Making a Decision

Chen Yao walked into the room and looked at Liu Erlong, who was now lying on the floor, obediently.

Looking at that delicate and beautiful face, Chen Yao nodded to himself without making a sound.

It must be said that Liu Erlong was also extremely beautiful.

Her skin was like solidified cream, and her eyebrows were exquisite.

Her beautiful eyebrows were like a painting, her soft, full red lips and her delicate, pretty nose were set on her stunning face.

Add to that her beautifully shaped, smooth cheeks and delicate, rosy skin, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she was stunningly beautiful.

Apart from Bibi Dong, Chen Yao has not seen anyone in Wuhun City who can compare to her.

In his occasional moments of distraction, he would find himself tempted to take advantage of Liu Erlong.

However, although Chen Yao was tempted, he did not take any action.

He knew his own abilities perfectly well. Liu Erlong was his enemy, and he wished he could get rid of her as soon as possible. He was too busy torturing her to let Liu Erlong have her way.

In that case, is Chen Yao torturing her or rewarding her?

At that moment, as Liu Erlong stared at Chen Yao with expectant eyes, begging for food, Chen Yao did not throw the food in her face as usual, but instead uttered a cold voice.

"Summon your martial spirit."

Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong was taken aback, but instinctively complied and immediately summoned her martial soul, causing a scorching aura to rise in the room.

Then, a domineering and ferocious phantom of a fire dragon materialized behind him.

Sensing the soul power on the fire dragon, Chen Yao narrowed his eyes and thought to himself.

"Recovered so quickly, already level 28...?"

Liu Erlong's strength has declined, but her realm remains. Therefore, just like Chen Yao back then, as long as she absorbs enough soul power, she can recover quickly. Now, in half a year, she has recovered to level 8 soul power.

Chen Yao sighed regretfully. It seemed that his daily feeding hobby was about to come to an end.

Although Liu Erlong is not currently able to pose a threat to him.

Although his soul power is weak, his martial soul and soul skills are no joke.

Liu Erlong only had 6 more levels of soul power than him, yet he could still handle her with ease.

However, at this rate, it won't be long before Liu Erlong's strength recovers to a level that is beyond his reach.

If Liu Erlong endures humiliation and takes advantage of his carelessness to deliver a fatal blow and perish together with him, then he will suffer a great loss.

It's not impossible.

After all, he had a lot of fun during this time, and he knew all too well how much Liu Erlong hated him.

Therefore, in order to ensure everything went smoothly, Chen Yao had no choice but to end his joyful feeding journey ahead of schedule.

Moreover, he had recently made a major decision and could no longer care about Liu Erlong.

During this period, he said he was living a life of debauchery, but in reality, he was just struggling with inner turmoil.

According to his own calculations, even if he focused solely on cultivation and ignored worldly affairs, he estimated that he would need to be around 26 years old to break through to level 30.

By then, one's physical constitution will have already been established, and even if one absorbs the immortal herb, it probably won't have much effect.

Therefore, Chen Yao was struggling with whether or not to risk his life and try to absorb the immortal herb with his level 20 soul power.

With the improvement from whale glue and the enhancement from his first soul skill, his success rate in absorbing the immortal herb should theoretically be quite high.

But Chen Yao was afraid!

On one hand, he wanted to gain great power, but on the other hand, he was afraid that something might go wrong and cause him to explode and die, ending it all.

But finally, recently, he made his own decision.

These days are wonderful, but in my previous life I was a mortal who would not live past a hundred and was powerless to even kill a chicken, and I came to this world that seems like a miracle.

He was truly unwilling to give up until he climbed to a higher vantage point to take a look!

What if, what if it succeeds?

What if he really does improve his aptitude and has the potential to become a Title Douluo?

What if he even becomes a god?

It's just one life, after all. It's not like I haven't died before!

Chen Yao kept hypnotizing himself until he finally succeeded in convincing himself!

I'm planning to take that step that will determine my destiny and change the trajectory of my life!

Now that he had made up his mind, his hatred for Liu Erlong seemed insignificant.

After all, if this journey ends in failure, then everything will be over.

If he successfully improves his aptitude and increases his cultivation speed, Chen Yao is confident that he will not be afraid of anyone of the same level, no matter what kind of martial soul they possess!

Indeed, dealing with Liu Erlong would be a piece of cake, no matter how much hatred she harbors, it won't help!

However, even though he was leaving, Chen Yao still planned to take some insurance measures for her.

Thinking this, Chen Yao also summoned his martial spirit, and a cold aura swept out, dispelling the scorching heat around the fire dragon.

Then, three twisted and ferocious black tentacles appeared.

Upon seeing the jet-black tentacles, a flicker of fear crossed Liu Erlong's eyes.

Although Chen Yao did not use these tentacles to do anything strange to Liu Erlong.
