Douluo Continent: An Adventure Begins in Wuhun City

Instantly, a ferocious aura, like that of a primordial chaos, swept out from his body and raged wildly.

Behind him, six terrifying soul rings, black, dark red, hung, making his slightly thin figure appear even more frightening and imposing!

After a burst of energy, the terrifying soul ring slowly faded and dissipated, and the raging, violent soul power around it gradually subsided.

"Phew, what a pity. If only I had a 100,000-year-old soul bone."

Chen Yao slowly let out a long sigh, shook his head, shook off the unrealistic fantasies in his mind, and then began to feel his own soul power.

It was discovered that the soul power within his body was maintained at level 65, condensed and stable, without any sign of weakness.

During those five years, he was immersed in the Nine Nether Immortal Lotus, and all his energy was devoted to resisting the pain of body shaping, leaving him with no energy to cultivate.

However, while he was shaping his body, it could also be seen as the process of refining the Nine Nether Immortal Lotus. His dark martial soul unconsciously fused the Nine Nether Immortal Lotus into his body.

With the added blessing of those two divine-level soul bones, his soul power was directly stored at level 60. In addition, he absorbed several soul rings of terrifying quality, which allowed him to stabilize at level 65.

This was the result of the Nine Nether Immortal Lotus purifying and compressing the mottled soul power from outside for him before he absorbed and refined it.

Otherwise, his soul power would probably have broken through the 70 mark and was heading towards level 80!

However, his refined soul power is now extremely compatible with his dark martial soul, even without using his various trump cards.

Simply by unleashing soul power and using martial souls, he is far beyond what ordinary Soul Emperors can achieve.

After this ordeal, Chen Yao's ambitions were no longer limited to simply becoming a Title Douluo and living a little longer.

His ambitions also gradually grew.

Now that his soul power has been refined, it has greatly enhanced his foundation. Chen Yao naturally has no regrets about this; on the contrary, he is quite satisfied.

After reviewing his own soul power, Chen Yao turned his attention to the 100,000-year soul ring he had just acquired.

After immersing himself in the task and conducting a thorough examination, Chen Yao slowly opened his eyes again, a look of enlightenment flashing in them.

"This is truly an unconventional soul skill. It's not fully formed yet, is it? Then I'll use these two items to lend you a hand..."

As he silently chanted, the eerie black lotus pattern on Chen Yao's forehead flashed, and then two objects, one red and one blue, from which the incomplete divine core of the Ice and Fire Dragon King floated out.

Under Chen Yao's command, it disappeared into the dark red soul ring.

Then, the aura of the spirit ring froze, as if it had fallen into some kind of silence, seemingly brewing something, making it difficult to use.

"It's still missing a little something, Yu Xiaogang. I wonder how well you've been feeding my martial spirit?"

As he pondered, a strange and unpredictable smile appeared on Chen Yao's lips, looking somewhat sinister and eerie.

"Taka!"

But just as Chen Yao was pondering this, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the cave.

"who!"

Instantly, Chen Yao composed himself, abruptly turning his head to look outside the cave. His soul power was fully charged, and a dangerous glint flashed in his dark, deep eyes…

Chapter 72 A Yin

As soon as Chen Yao gave the shout, a figure walked in from outside the cave.

The newcomer was a woman, dressed very simply, like a peasant woman, and carrying a lot of pudding.

And his face looks a bit young, around 16 years old.

But she had a head of beautiful blue-gold hair that cascaded down to her waist, a delicate face, lips like rosy clouds, and white teeth.

Her every move exuded an elegant and noble air, giving people a stunning impression, which was completely incongruous with her sloppy attire.

Yet, between his brows, there was a naive and romantic air, completely different from his temperament, suggesting a lack of worldly experience.

As it slowly entered the cave, it was as if a ray of pure white moonlight had entered, illuminating the dark and gloomy cave.

Who are you? Why are you here?

Although the girl was beautiful, Chen Yao would not let his guard down because of that.

Only after fully realizing that the girl's soul power aura posed no threat did he slowly relax, raise an eyebrow, examine the girl in front of him, and ask a question.

The girl did not respond immediately. Looking at Chen Yao, a hint of doubt flashed in her clear, bright eyes.

If she remembered correctly, this cave should have been inhabited by the three-headed dragon brothers, so how could a human suddenly appear?

The girl felt a pang of frustration at the mention of humans. Her soul power had stalled, but today she finally mustered the courage to venture into a human city to cultivate.

Unexpectedly, before they even reached the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, they encountered two burly men, each wielding a large hammer and resembling a small mountain, who were besieging a 5-year-old Earthshaking Bear.

The hammer struck flesh, and the splattering of bright red blood startled the girl.

She then instinctively wanted to step forward to help the Earthshaker Bear, but just as she was about to take a step, she suddenly realized that she was no longer a powerful 100,000-year-old soul beast.

After she was reborn as a human, she only has a pitiful level 56 soul power. If she rashly steps forward to help, she will not only fail to save the Earthshaker Bear, but will also put herself in danger!

Although the girl felt guilty for not being able to help Earthshaker, there was nothing she could do.

However, just as she was about to leave quietly, the Earthshaker Bear could no longer hold on, and its massive body collapsed with a crash.

After the Earthshaker Bear died, the two Soul Masters, who had been distracted, immediately noticed the girl who was about to leave.

Upon seeing the girl's pure and innocent face, the two soul masters felt a tremor in their hearts.

The girl's gaze locked onto the Soul Masters who had seven and eight optimally configured Soul Rings floating behind them respectively.

Feeling the overwhelming soul power rushing towards her, the girl was so frightened that she momentarily forgot that she had become human and was no longer the soul beast that everyone coveted.

They fled in panic.

When the two Soul Masters saw the girl flee, they immediately realized that they had frightened her. They were immediately alarmed and hurriedly chased after her, wanting to explain.

The girl trembled even more when she saw the two chasing after her, but fortunately, thanks to her familiarity with the forest and her own special abilities, she managed to keep her distance from the two soul masters.

She found the cave where she had helped the three evil dragon brothers when she was a 100,000-year-old soul beast, and wanted them to take her to a safe place.

This led to the scene unfolding inside the cave.

Just as the girl was wondering why a human was appearing in the cave of the three evil dragon brothers, the person slowly walked into the cave.

As the scene inside the dim cave gradually became clearer, the girl was horrified to see the three lifeless corpses of evil dragons lying on the ground behind Chen Yao!

"You...you actually killed them?!"

The girl's eyes were filled with heartache and anger. She pointed at Chen Yao and spoke through gritted teeth.

What are you trying to say?

Chen Yao narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke softly.

"You humans are no good! How could you so indiscriminately kill innocent people!"

The girl was so angry that she started talking nonsense.

"So... you're not human?"

Chen Yao slowly stood up, a playful smile appearing on his lips as he looked at the girl jumping up and down in front of him with great interest.

With her signature long blue-gold hair and her indignation at the death of the soul beast, Chen Yao had already guessed who this girl was.

He never expected to run into her here.

"Uh...no...you misheard! I mean, this evil dragon has done all sorts of bad things, always attacking Soul Masters who come into the forest to hunt Soul Rings, it's really despicable!"

Upon hearing Chen Yao's words, the girl finally remembered her state of mind, her face stiffened instantly, her expression became serious, and she let out an awkward laugh.

She spoke to Chen Yao, whose soul power was spreading out continuously, so terrifying that it almost suffocated her.

"What's your name?"

Ignoring the girl's ridiculous words, Chen Yao went straight to the point and asked.

"Ah Yin."

This name was one she chose for herself after she transformed into human form, and she had never mentioned it to anyone. How could Ah Yin have imagined that anyone would know her? Subconsciously, she blurted out her name without any attempt at concealment.

“A-Yin…”

His suspicions were now confirmed, and Chen Yao grinned, a fiery glint flashing in his eyes as he looked at the girl.

It wasn't the wicked lust between men and women, but a terrifying glint of greed.

Chen Yao had no idea whether the heavens had heard his earlier complaints about not having a 100,000-year-old soul bone and had directly delivered Ah Yin, this treasure, to his doorstep.

Although Ah Yin's original Blue Silver Emperor soul ring is completely unsuitable for Chen Yao's attributes, it is practically useless.

However, the right leg bone produced by Ah Yin was something he coveted!

Within its soul bone are three abilities: flight and acceleration.

Chen Yao could disregard these two.

What he truly valued was the third one!

Soul Skill: Wildfire cannot burn it all, the spring breeze brings it back to life!

It possesses terrifying healing abilities; limb regeneration is a piece of cake for it.

If Chen Yao were to acquire this soul skill, it would be equivalent to gaining half an immortal body.

What skill could be more suitable for Chen Yao, who is extremely afraid of death, than this soul skill?

Compared to the soul skill that he regarded as a divine skill, what is Ah Yin's mere good looks?

Although Ah Yin was a human for the first time and was unfamiliar with human affairs, Chen Yao's gaze was far too blatant.

Under that intense gaze, Ah Yin felt a burning sensation on her skin, as if her eyes were about to pierce through her.

Even if she were stupid, she would know that the humans in front of her had ill intentions towards her!

"Whoosh!"

Without any hesitation, Ah Yin transformed into a streak of blue light and shot out of the cave!
