Douluo Continent: Protector Qian Renxue, Martial Soul: Dark Demon Dragon

Chapter 4 Geniuses are unreasonable

While he was playing with the evolved black dragon with great interest, he suddenly sensed several extremely large and powerful auras rushing towards him at an astonishing speed.

As if sensing danger, the black dragon instantly flew to Lin Xiao's head, its five claws gripping Lin Xiao's hair. It looked around, its copper bell-like eyes flashing with a cold, sharp light, like a bright star in a cold night.

Lin Xiao keenly sensed the black dragon's unusual behavior. Its slightly trembling body and its uneasy swaying tail conveyed his tense emotions.

Lin Xiao slowly raised his hand and gently stroked the black dragon standing on his head. His eyes were full of tenderness and reassurance, and he smiled slightly, saying, "Black Dragon, don't be nervous. These auras are Grandpa and the others. They're not dangerous. Have you forgotten Grandpa and the others?"

Upon hearing this, Heilong's tense nerves gradually relaxed, and he lowered his guard.

A thoughtful glint flashed in its jewel-like eyes, as if it were trying to recall the past. After a moment, the black dragon gently shook its head and then nodded solemnly, as if to say, "Is it Grandpa and the others? Since it's Grandpa and the others, then it's alright, there's no danger."

As the black dragon's emotions gradually calmed down, Lin Xiao's lips curled up slightly, and he smiled faintly, teasingly saying, "We've only been in seclusion for two years, although it's the longest seclusion we've ever had. But Black Dragon, you shouldn't have forgotten the aura of Grandpa and the others in just two short years, right?"

Since he successfully advanced to the title of Douluo two years ago, he has resolutely chosen to begin closed-door cultivation. In the past two years, he has been single-minded and devoted all his energy to cultivation.

This is the longest period of seclusion he has ever spent writing an inscription for. For two whole years, he seemed to be isolated from the world, detached from worldly affairs, and focused solely on cultivation.

But surely it's not like Black Dragon would have forgotten the presence of his grandfather and the others in just two short years.

Black Dragon shook its head, its eyes flashing with aggrieved light, as if it were crying out.

The low growl emanating from his throat seemed to say, "Their aura was so powerful; I thought it was dangerous, which is why I acted that way."

As Lin Xiao's martial soul, thanks to their special and close connection, Lin Xiao can easily sense the Dark Dragon's emotional changes.

He slowly raised his hand and gently stroked the dark dragon standing on his head, a warm smile on his face, and said softly, "Alright, alright, I know, I know you're worried about my safety, I don't blame you."

His martial soul is different from others' martial souls; it is alive and has its own consciousness. It can cry, get angry, feel wronged, and be happy, just like an innocent child. Of course, it is only in front of him that it is an innocent child.

In his presence, Black Dragon was like an innocent, childlike boy who would act spoiled and feel wronged by a single word he uttered.

However, when facing enemies, the black dragon will transform into a vicious dragon, exuding a chilling aura, becoming a majestic and awe-inspiring dragon!

Knowing there was no danger, the black dragon stood leisurely on Lin Xiao's head, its dark eyes deep and bright like the starry sky, a smile on its face as it gazed into the distance.

Lin Xiao waited quietly in place, and soon he noticed that seven figures suddenly appeared in the sky, rushing toward him with tremendous force.

In the blink of an eye, the seven elders had arrived in front of Lin Xiao.

"Oh my god!" Demon-Slaying Douluo's eyes widened as he sensed Lin Xiao's aura and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "This kid Lin Xiao is actually level 95? At the age of nineteen, he's already reached level 95 as a Title Douluo! Have we old fogies been wasting our lives?"

The Demon-Slaying Douluo looked on in disbelief and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Although he had prepared well in advance, he was still deeply shocked when he actually saw it. The shock in his heart was like a surging wave that was hard to calm down.

"Hahaha~" Qian Daoliu laughed heartily, his face beaming with pride and self-satisfaction. "My grandson, Lin Xiao, has the potential to become a god, a level ninety-five divine being! In my opinion, with his talent and hard work, in a few years, he might even surpass the strength of this old man!"

Qian Daoliu put his hands behind his back, smiled, and said with his eyes full of earnest expectations for Lin Xiao.

His son, Qian Xunji, did some absurd and even outrageous things, which were disappointing and infuriating.

However, Qian Daoliu believed that the best thing Qian Xunji did was to bring back the clever and talented Lin Xiao to become his godson, and to have a lovely, well-behaved granddaughter, Qian Renxue!

"The Grand Elder is right." Golden Crocodile Douluo crossed his arms, a faint smile on his face, and slowly said, "Lin Xiao has the aptitude to become a god. What is level ninety-five to him? Besides, Seventh Brother, you know Lin Xiao's cultivation speed. There's no need for you to be so surprised!"

The Demon-Slaying Douluo shook his head and said, "Of course, of course I know. But every time I think about this, I feel a lot of emotions. I spent my whole life cultivating diligently, experiencing countless hardships and dangers, before I finally became a Super Douluo. And look at this kid Lin Xiao, he's only nineteen years old! At nineteen, four of him combined wouldn't even be as big as me, yet he easily surpassed me. It's truly astonishing."

Perhaps geniuses are simply unreasonable; they seem to receive special favor from heaven on their path of cultivation.

The road ahead was clear and unobstructed, and the progress was astonishing. For them, cultivation was as easy and natural as drinking water, simple and casual.

"The word 'genius' itself is illogical." Qian Daoliu said calmly and composedly with a faint smile, "Geniuses are blessed by the heavens and have divine assistance on their cultivation path, making their journey smooth. Besides, this isn't the first time Lin Xiao has shown his amazing talent. Is it always like this when he emerges from seclusion? Old friends, we're used to it. There's no need to be disappointed."

Which of these seven people wasn't once hailed as a genius by the world?

She was once a stunning beauty, renowned throughout the world.

But now, when facing Lin Xiao, for some reason, they seemed like the most ordinary people, plain and unremarkable in every way, with nothing outstanding about them.

Lin Xiao looked at the seven grandfathers in front of him, a helpless yet amused expression on his face, and for a moment he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Looking at the grandfathers' surprised, sighing, or disappointed expressions, he didn't know what to say.

I was so amazing that the grandfathers seemed very ordinary.
