Douluo: The Holy Radiance of the Dragon King

"Stop, stop, stop! Father, please stop hitting me! Oh dear, the elders will laugh at us..."

Chaos erupted at the Spirit Pagoda. Long Chen, who aspired to become a Limit Douluo, was beaten by his father and fled in terror.

Han Tianyi used his mental power to separate the father and son, and said, "Give me some face, okay?"

"Okay." Long Zhan immediately stopped, helped his son up to heal his injuries, and he quickly recovered.

Long Chen scratched his head and muttered, "You want me to fight him, but how come you still don't know if he's the successor of that master? Aren't you ruining my future?"

In the world of Soul Masters, Zhenhua is the most well-known legend. He is not a top-tier expert, but all top-tier experts need his help. Only he can complete the Heaven Forging, and only with Heaven Forging metal can the Four-Word Battle Armor be forged.

If someone could become the successor of this legendary figure, Long Chen knew he had to befriend them.

Now look what's happened. He had a precious opportunity in front of him, but he missed it. Isn't that practically saying goodbye to the four-word battle armor?

"I only just found out myself. I just paid up and apologized. Hopefully, this won't end in discord." Long Zhan rubbed his forehead, looking somewhat troubled, and said:

"He plans to enter the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. You'll go there in a few years too; once you get back, I'll personally train your cultivation."

"Do you even need to tell me? Just you wait and see."

Long Chen's eyes lit up, and he made up his mind to enter the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy and become the number one genius after Feng Zaixing.

Long Zhan nodded slightly. "Your cousin is coming out soon. Prepare to comfort him."

Long Chen raised an eyebrow, and Feng Zaixing on the soul guide screen quietly lit up his first soul ring. He bent his leg and exerted force, condensing blood light and flames into his right fist. With a leap, he charged into the battlefield of the two geniuses.

"I truly deserve to lose," Long Chen sighed.

……

"Bang bang bang..."

Long Zhen's body was thrown into the air, crashing into three large trees in succession. He spat out a mouthful of blood with a "whoosh." Thick black water pierced through his body, and scorching fire burned his chest. He was in excruciating pain from both water and fire.

The sound of footsteps approached, and Long Zhen looked up at Feng Zaixing, who had appeared out of nowhere, with an incredulous expression.

"What kind of soul skill is this? Are you a power-attack type soul master or an agility-attack type soul master?"

He was sent flying without even a chance to react. Even though he was at a crucial moment in his fight with Xu Miao, this should not have happened.

When did a one-ring Soul Master become able to influence the course of a battle at a crucial moment when experts like them are vying for supremacy?

The intense burning pain in his body forced him to mobilize a large amount of soul power to dispel the flames that felt like nails piercing his bones. The heat waves burned his body, but his heart remained utterly cold.

Feng Zaixing walked up to him, found the button that sent the other person away from the Ascension Platform in the same manner, and replied:

"I am a power-attack type Soul Master, but agility-attack type is meaningless to me."

As he spoke, he pressed the button, and Long Zhen's body vanished into nothingness.

"If word gets out that you sent Long Zhen away like this, people will laugh themselves to death."

Xu Miao stepped forward, gave a thumbs-up, and exclaimed, "If you were a second-ring cultivator, you could make it onto the list with just this one battle."

"I'm not interested in fame; I just want to focus on my cultivation."

Feng Zaixing shook his head, then looked up and said, "Brother Xu, I'd like to find some even more powerful soul beasts."

"Then let's go!" Xu Miao readily agreed.

……

Longzhen's storage lid opened automatically, revealing a bewildered and lost face.

After being defeated by a Soul Master, how can he still have the face to be arrogant as a genius?

"Sigh." Long Chen sighed, his youthful face revealing the maturity of someone who had been through it all, and he comforted him:

"Cousin, at least he used his soul skill against you, but he only needed one palm strike to defeat me."

Long Zhen's face twitched. "You got instantly killed by him, and I got ambushed by him. Are we supposed to thank him?"

"Yes." Long Chen nodded seriously, "He is the successor of the Divine Craftsman, and is currently a Level One Blacksmith..."

"Whoosh"

Long Chen's vision blurred for a moment, and then Long Zhen stood before him, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, as if he had instantly become a different person: "You should have said so earlier!"

Long Chen's lips twitched. "Brother, how come your attitude changed even faster than mine?"

"You don't understand. Only when you start preparing your battle armor do you realize how important a top-tier blacksmith is. To be defeated by a future master craftsman is an honor..."

As Long Zhen spoke, he rummaged through his storage ring, pondering, "I only have fifty million Federal Credits left. I should be able to smooth things over, right? Should I treat everyone to the Spirit Ascension Platform this time?"

"Oh dear, Second Uncle, how could you accept the challenge for us without even checking? Maybe I should ask Illusion Brain Douluo if he could give that Brother Feng a yearly pass to the Spirit Ascension Platform?"

Long Chen was dumbfounded.

In the distance, Mu Ye's heart was churning. He fully utilized his basic skills as the sect master to control his body parts, forcibly suppressing the corners of his mouth to keep his expression unchanged.

Inside his body, a little person was laughing wildly:

"Haha, I can't take it anymore! Zhenhua's reputation is really useful. Just the title of successor of a master craftsman has changed the attitudes of these arrogant geniuses. It's so satisfying!"

Long Zhan felt a bitter taste in his mouth and sighed softly: "Ever since the birth of the Divine Craftsman, he has been destined to become the most untouchable person on the entire continent..."

The Xuanming Sect Master pondered, "A genius who appears only once every millennium has appeared in the Body Sect. This top-tier power, once on par with Shrek Academy, is destined for a revival. What can we do?"

Han Tianyi appeared the most relaxed, leisurely observing Feng Zaixing's movements, occasionally smiling and nodding, revealing an approving expression.

Half an hour later.

The expressions of everyone in the Spirit Pagoda changed as Feng Zaixing and his companion found a super soul beast even stronger than the Flame Lion King and his wife.

"The eight-hundred-year-old and the newly-entered-thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears, Martial Uncle, are they the guardians who suppress the passage from the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform to the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform?"

Mu Ye stared at the two dark gold giant bears on the soul guidance screen, his expression becoming serious for the first time.

The second bear is not as old as the Flame Lion King, but its combat power is far superior. Apart from being slow, it has no other weaknesses.

Even with Xu Miao watching over him, Feng Zaixing still risks being killed by such a being.

Han Tianyi nodded and said, "Yes, and they are two very strong guardians."

Long Zhan frowned and said, "The two bears are very powerful. Even a genius Soul Master would be in great danger fighting them. Should we bring the two children with us?"

Han Tianyi gave him a meaningful look and said, "Patriarch Long, there is no need to worry. I will make my own decision."

"Geniuses can only unleash their potential under the greatest pressure, and I am also very interested to see where his limits are; however, I ask Patriarch Long and your two virtuous nephews to keep what happened today a secret."

"No, no, I swear in the name of my martial spirit that I will never tell anyone what I saw today, or my martial spirit will shatter and my cultivation will never be able to improve."

Long Zhan made a clean and decisive oath, then looked at his nephews and nieces.

"We are too," Long Zhen and Long Chen swore eagerly.

"Yes, thank you very much."

Han Tianyi smiled and nodded. Soul masters of the Bright Dragon Clan have certain requirements for their character. They can be calculating, but they must never go against their conscience.

Han Tianyi used his mental power to tell Feng Zaixing in the Ascension Platform that he could proceed without restraint, and smiled, "I'm really looking forward to it..."

……

Inside the Ascension Platform, Xu Miao and Feng Zaixing stood guard, one on the left and one on the right.

"That's a tough idea, how so?" Xu Miao's forehead was covered in sweat, but he still held up his shield to protect the still small Feng Zaixing behind him.

"Roar~ Roar~"

Nearly 100 meters away, a male and a female golden dinosaur stood upright, their eyes fierce, their golden claws, sharp enough to cut through iron, reflecting a dazzling and chilling light in the sunlight.

Upon receiving Han Tianyi's telepathic message, Feng Zaixing's eyes lit up, and he whispered:

"Brother, could you hold them back for now? I'll take out the stronger male bear first, then we'll wear down the female bear."

Xu Miao's eyelids twitched, and he whispered, "Are you kidding? The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear has much stronger defense than the Flame Lion King, making it very difficult to kill."

Feng Zaixing flicked his storage rings, gripping four short swords in each hand, and stared at the thousand-year-old dark gold dinosaur claw bear, saying:

"I release my spirit, which gives me a chance to quickly break through its defenses and thrust my sword into its head."

"I have a method to enhance my strength through desperate measures, which I can use without any scruples here."

"I can't guarantee I'll kill them, but I'll fight to the death and not be a burden!"

Xu Miao gritted his teeth: "Fine! I'll risk my life to keep you company today, but I'll only give you five seconds at most."

"That's enough!"

The wind rises again, its voice fervent, calling for help from the sea of ​​spirits.

"Heavenly Saint, the top-tier soul beast you once coveted but could not possess is right before you. Do you dare to fight me?"
