Douluo Continent II: The Dragon King Suppresses the World!

Chapter 51 The Tragedy of the Guardian Douluo

"You guys are really amazing!" Ma Xiaotao looked at Ye Qi'an, who was slumped on the sofa, her eyes full of amazement and admiration.

The match had just ended. Ye Qi'an and Gu Yuena, having used their Soul Fusion Skill, Dragon God Transformation, for the first time, and with Ye Qi'an himself as the vessel, nearly had all their soul power drained. Gu Yuena fared relatively well, given her physical strength, but Ye Qi'an wasn't so lucky. From the moment he stepped off the stage back to the hotel, Ye Qi'an struggled to walk with Gu Yuena's support.

Ye Qi'an waved his hand weakly, a bitter smile on his face, and said in a weak voice, "Don't even mention it, I'm completely exhausted right now, I don't have any soul power left."

Wang Yan slowly walked over and sat down next to Ye Qi'an, his face full of solemnity. "You two need to be more careful in the future. I've seen your Martial Soul Fusion Skill. It's very powerful, but it also has a great limitation: Ye Qi'an's own body can't withstand it."

Ye Qi'an said with a bitter face, "How was I supposed to know it would consume so much soul power? This is our first time using it, and we don't have much experience yet. It should be better when we use it again later."

Wang Yan nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Your performance this time was indeed amazing, but we cannot let our guard down. In future use of the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, you must focus on improving your physical fitness and soul power control. This will allow you to better unleash the power of the Martial Soul Fusion Technique while also reducing the risks."

Gu Yuena stood quietly to the side, her exquisite face now filled with deep thought. If she were to use herself as the vessel this time, there would be virtually no depletion, and she would certainly not be as weak as Ye Qi'an was now. She pondered in her heart how to better unleash the power of the Dragon God Transformation while also protecting Ye Qi'an.

"Don't worry, leave the rest to us. I'll let everyone know that no one can humiliate Shrek Academy." Ma Xiaotao looked at Ye Qi'an and the others, her eyes revealing unwavering determination. Deep within her eyes, a chilling intent lingered. She would use her strength to defend the honor of Shrek Academy.

After chatting for a while, everyone left, as Ye Qi'an also needed to recover his soul power. Ye Qi'an and Gu Yuena sat cross-legged on the sofa, their palms pressed together, slowly closing their eyes and trying to regulate their breathing. The power of the Dragon God flowed slowly through their bodies, nourishing them.

When Ye Qi'an woke up, it was already the next morning. He slowly opened his eyes, feeling the first rays of sunlight on his face, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

His physical condition underwent a dramatic transformation after Electrolux opened the breach in the fifth seal. After a day and a night of rest, his soul power had returned to its peak, even surpassing its former strength. His soul power level had also increased by one level after using the Dragon God Transformation, and he was now at level forty-six.

Ye Qi'an turned to look at Gu Yuena, who was still cultivating, his eyes full of tenderness. After a while, Gu Yuena also opened her eyes, her gaze clear and bright. The two looked at each other and smiled in unison.

"How are you feeling?" Gu Yuena asked softly, her voice sounding particularly pleasant in the quiet morning.

"My soul power has fully recovered, and it's even stronger than before, increasing by one level," Ye Qi'an replied.

Gu Yuena said softly, "That's good. However, our Martial Soul Fusion Technique does have many areas that need improvement. It's fine if I'm the carrier, but if you're the carrier, the Dragon God Transformation time will be greatly reduced."

"I currently face two problems: one is that my physical strength is not yet sufficient, and the other is that my soul power level is not high enough. Perhaps after the fifth seal is broken, the Dragon God Transformation will be able to stabilize," Ye Qi'an nodded and said.

Gu Yuena got off the sofa, stood up and said, "Let's wash up and go eat. I haven't eaten anything since yesterday's competition."

Ye Qi'an nodded and got off the sofa. He stretched his body, and his bones cracked all over as he felt a surge of soreness. He stretched his limbs and felt his body gradually regain its vitality.

"I really need to eat something, I'm starving. Hmm? Who is it?" As he was speaking, Ye Qi'an subconsciously looked towards the window.

With his Dragon Eyes of Spiritual Fortune, his spiritual perception has become increasingly acute, and the newcomer made no attempt to conceal his malice towards the two of them.

An elderly man arrived, not tall, but in excellent spirits. His short, dark brown hair gave him a remarkably capable appearance. His eyes were piercing, and his gaze fell directly on the two of them, releasing an invisible pressure. The old man didn't answer; with a flick of his right hand, Ye Qi'an and Gu Yuena felt a sudden darkness before their eyes, the surrounding light instantly dimming.

The old man snorted coldly and said indifferently, "Speak, which of the Ten Ferocious Beasts you are in human form? You may hide it well, but you can fool others, not me."

"That's ridiculous." Ye Qi'an looked at the person in front of him with a black line on his face, and then said it without any politeness.

"Stop pretending, it's useless. Don't even think about escaping. With your current cultivation level, you don't have the slightest chance against me. I have already sealed this place with my soul power. Neither sound nor you yourselves have any chance of escaping."

Ye Qi'an frowned deeply and said with disgust, "Get out of here if you don't want to die. This is my last warning to you, or you're not leaving."

The old man laughed heartily, seemingly quite pleased with himself: "Very well, since you won't admit it, then let this old man expose you. I'll make you die convinced of your guilt." As he spoke, the old man took a few steps forward, his aura suddenly surging.

"I am Cheng Gang, the Guardian Douluo of the Star Luo Empire. Well, you have no chance. I didn't expect my luck to be so good. No matter who you are, this harvest is enough for me to exchange for a complete set of super soul bones. Hahahaha." As he spoke, the old man raised his hand to grab the two of them. His eyes revealed greed and cruelty, as if Ye Qi'an and Gu Yuena were his prey.

"Alright, I've already warned you. Since you don't want to leave, then don't leave at all. Just go die." Ye Qi'an helplessly spread his hands, his eyes revealing a hint of indifference. He had lost patience with this old man.

"You're asking for death. Di Tian, ​​take good care of him for me. Don't let him die. It's best to leave him with a breath of life. Don't let him die so easily." Gu Yuena snorted coldly, and a dark halo appeared in front of Cheng Gang.

At this moment, in the Starry Sky Forest, the clear waters of the Lake of Life suddenly turned black. Immediately afterward, a resounding dragon roar echoed, and a gigantic dragon head, tens of meters in diameter, abruptly emerged from the lake's surface. The dragon head was as black as ink, but its eyes were a brilliant gold.

"Human, you're courting death!" Di Tian's voice suddenly rang out from the halo, directly confronting the Guardian Douluo Cheng Gang. His voice was filled with rage.

After transforming into human form, Di Tian emerged from the halo. At this moment, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King was tall and imposing, exuding a strong sense of oppression. He wore a long black robe, the hem of which fluttered slightly in the wind, displaying his majesty.

When Cheng Gang heard Di Tian's voice emanating from the halo, his heart skipped a beat, and a strong sense of crisis instantly surged into his heart. Di Tian's powerful aura seemed to freeze the air in the entire room. His face turned deathly pale, and his eyes were filled with terror.

Cheng Gang gritted his teeth, his voice trembling as he said, "You are the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian!"

Di Tian remained expressionless, his eyes revealing endless indifference: "Human, how dare you offend your master! Today is your death day." With that, Di Tian raised his hand and waved it, sending a powerful surge of soul energy towards Cheng Gang.

Cheng Gang hurriedly activated his defensive skills, attempting to withstand Di Tian's attack. However, Di Tian's strength was far too great; his defense was instantly shattered, and he was sent flying, crashing heavily into the wall. Cheng Gang coughed up blood, his face turning extremely pale. He realized the immense gap between himself and Di Tian.

"Di Tian, ​​take him to the Star Dou Great Forest and give him a good welcome," Gu Yuena said with a cold snort, her words filled with anger. She wanted to make this human who had offended them pay the price.

Di Tian nodded slightly, reached out and grabbed Cheng Gang, a powerful suction force firmly holding him in place. Cheng Gang struggled in terror, but his resistance seemed utterly futile in the face of Di Tian's power.

"Hmph, ignorant humans." Di Tian snorted coldly, and with Cheng Gang, they instantly disappeared from the room, leaving only silence behind.

Di Tian instantly brought Cheng Gang back to the Star Dou Great Forest. The terrifying aura silenced the surrounding soul beasts. By the Lake of Life, Di Tian threw Cheng Gang heavily to the ground.

Cheng Gang looked around in horror, his heart filled with despair. He never imagined that his momentary greed would bring such terrible consequences. The Star Luo Emperor had even asked him to test them, but now, forget about testing them; he was going to lose his life here.

Di Tian looked down at him, his eyes filled with rage: "Human, do you know your crime? How dare you offend your master! Today, I will let you taste the wrath of a soul beast."

At this moment, Gu Yuena's voice rang in Di Tian's mind: "Don't let him die easily. Make him pay a heavy price for his actions."

Di Tian nodded slightly, then waved his hand, and Xiong Jun, the Demon King, the Crimson King, and a group of ferocious beasts including Bi Ji and Zi Ji appeared before him. At this moment, except for Bi Ji, all the other ferocious beasts were filled with murderous intent. Their eyes revealed hatred and anger towards humans; they wanted to seek justice for their master.

Di Tian said coldly, "From this day forward, you will spend every moment in pain and fear. Don't worry, you won't die until the Lord has calmed down."

Cheng Gang trembled all over, wanting to beg for mercy but finding that he couldn't make a sound. His eyes were filled with despair and fear, and death had become a luxury for him.

In the sky, dark clouds covered the sky like a thick curtain, seemingly casting a gloomy shadow.

The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament is in full swing, its tense and fierce atmosphere seemingly igniting the very air. As of yesterday, the third round of matches has concluded.

In each group, only one or two teams managed to maintain a perfect record of three wins in the fierce competition. Among these many participating teams, Shrek Academy still generated the most discussion. Every time they appeared, they attracted a lot of attention. Today was Shrek Academy's fourth appearance in the round-robin tournament.

"They're here, they're here." At that moment, everyone turned their attention to the passageway through which the team members were entering.

Leading the way were Ye Qi'an and Gu Yuena, followed by the seven members of the reserve team, including Bei Bei, and a girl who appeared to be around twenty years old and had never competed before. This girl was beautiful, but her expression was extremely cold, making people hesitant to approach her. Behind her was their team leader, Wang Yan.

Even those familiar with the Shrek Academy team members from the previous competition might not recognize Ling Luochen. Upon seeing Ling Luochen, Ma Rulong frowned slightly and muttered to himself, "Is Shrek Academy finally sending out their main players? It seems this competition is going to be even more exciting."

Upon entering the rest area, Wang Yan didn't outline tactics but instead looked directly at Ye Qi'an. He knew that Ye Qi'an's leadership and decision-making abilities were crucial at this time.

Ye Qi'an didn't refuse and looked at everyone directly, saying, "Our opponents are Changning Academy from the Star Luo Empire. Their strength is inferior to Zheng Tian Academy. After the draw, I will arrange the order of appearance."

Soon, the referees arrived at the competition stage, and the draw began. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the referees' hands, filled with tension and anticipation. The draw results were for the team competition.

"It seems the task of defeating Shrek Academy will fall to us." Ye Qi'an had just finished drawing lots and was about to step down from the stage when the captain of the Changning Academy team opposite him suddenly shouted.

Ye Qi'an glanced at him and said in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, "The last person who dared to talk nonsense to me already had their fingers crushed by me. Do you want to be the second one?"

The captain of the Changning Academy team frowned, but quickly regained his composure. He sneered, "Hmph, don't think your Shrek Academy is invincible. Today, our Changning Academy will shatter your myth."

Ye Qi'an's lips curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful smile: "Then give it a try. Good luck, and you'd better not die. Be careful not to get wiped out in one go." As he spoke, he stepped down from the stage.

He Caitou said angrily, "Now it seems like everyone wants to bully Shrek Academy. We'll definitely teach them a lesson later."

Just then, Ling Luochen stood up, walked to Ye Qi'an's side, and said in a deep voice, "Qi'an, leave this team battle to me. Let Huo Yuhao go out with me alone."

Ye Qi'an shook his head, a rare occurrence, and said, "Don't rush, let me arrange it. The players playing in this match are Ling Luochen, Huo Yuhao, and Gu Yuena. Come here, let me give you a rundown."

Ye Qi'an gathered Ling Luochen, Huo Yuhao, and Gu Yuena aside, thought for a moment, and said, "Yuhao possesses the Ultimate Ice, which can amplify Senior Sister Ling's power. Then, Nana's task is to use the Devouring Heaven and Earth Domain to convert the elemental power in the area into ice attribute. After that, Senior Sister Ling, you know what to do, right?"

Ling Luochen nodded slightly and said, "I understand. With the amplification of ice attributes, the power of my ice-type martial soul will be greatly enhanced, which will definitely give Changning Academy a surprise."

Huo Yuhao clenched his fist and said, "I will fully cooperate with Senior Sister Ling and Gu Yuena to maximize the effect of the Ultimate Ice."

Gu Yuena remained calm and simply nodded slightly, indicating that she understood the mission.
