Douluo Continent: God Descends

Chapter 137 Na'er: This underworld thing is cheating!

Early morning, in the villa area of ​​the Spirit Pagoda headquarters.

"It's about time to go back."

As Lu Xingchen stepped out of the villa, he looked at the scenery in the distance and couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

Last night, thanks to Li Mengjie's introduction, he finally met two high-level combatants of the Spirit Pagoda: Purgatory Douluo Qian Gu Qingfeng and Cold Rhyme Douluo Xia Zheng Leng.

Through a long, intimate conversation, Lu Xingchen successfully won over the two Title Douluos with his unique insights and candid attitude, winning them over to his side willingly.

From then on, in this intricately intertwined Spirit Pagoda, he finally had his first foothold of power and was no longer alone.

"It's about time we left."

Lu Xingchen muttered to himself, tapping his palm lightly with his fingertips: "But before I leave, I still need to go to Shrek Academy and say goodbye to Sister Yali."

Shrek Academy, Poseidon Island.

"Little Star, are you leaving already?"

-

Ya Li looked at the boy in front of her with reluctance, but she did not try to stop him. After all, Lu Xingchen had said before that he wanted to leave Shrek City and go to Tianhai Academy.

"Okay." Lu Xingchen nodded, her eyes clear. "Sister Yali, I promised my friends I'd go to school together, so I should head back now."

Although he had already become Ya Li's apprentice, he still called her "sister" on a daily basis and never changed his way of addressing her.

Ya-li was happy to accept this. Compared to the distant "Master," calling her "Sister" felt much more intimate, bringing the master and disciple very close.

Looking at the boy's tall and straight figure, Ya Li couldn't help but mutter to herself: It's all Yue Jie's fault for causing trouble. Otherwise, with Xiao Xingchen's talent, he could have stayed in Shrek Academy and personally taught her own disciple. Why did she have to send him to Tianhai Academy?

Despite all these events, the ancestor simply left behind the words "I have gained some insights" and then went into seclusion on the ancient golden tree, truly a hands-off manager!

The moment such a disrespectful thought crossed her mind, Ya Li quickly suppressed it. She raised her hand and ruffled Lu Xingchen's hair, the warmth of her palm seeping through his hair as she smiled and said, "Then you must cultivate diligently when you get back and pass the Shrek Academy entrance exam as soon as possible. Your master is waiting for you here. If you encounter any problems in your cultivation that you can't solve, feel free to send me a text message anytime, no matter how late it is, I'll reply."

"Okay." Lu Xingchen nodded obediently.

Ya Li took his hand and walked slowly toward the depths of Poseidon Island, laughing as she went, "By the way, Brother Ming recently took on a disciple named Na'er. She's a very pretty girl. Don't lose your composure when you see her later."

"disciple?"

Lu Xingchen already knew the answer, but feigned confusion on the surface, then nodded emphatically, "I understand."

Just as they approached the residence of Yunming and his wife on Seagod Island, a clear and crisp girlish voice rang out from the courtyard, brimming with youthful vigor: "Hey! Ha! Drink!"

Following the sound, one could see a silver-haired girl standing in the center of the courtyard, sunlight shining on her, making her silver hair shine like moonlight.

She gripped a silver spear over twelve feet long in her hand. The spear was slender, yet covered with fine, even dragon scales that gleamed with a cold, silvery light under the sun.

"drink!"

With a soft shout, the girl flicked her wrist, and the silver spear shot out like a snake emerging from its hole, instantly creating several afterimages. The spear tip cut through the wind, carrying a sharp force as it pierced the void, even creating tiny explosions in the air.

Every time she swung her spear, thrust, or spun around, it carried a unique and natural charm. If a seasoned weapon spirit master were here, they would recognize at a glance that it was the spear intent that only a master who had been immersed in spear techniques for many years could comprehend!

After completing a set of marksmanship demonstrations, the girl put away her gun and stood upright, leaning slightly forward and panting. Beads of sweat slid down her fair cheeks, which only accentuated her beautiful features and upright posture.

The sunlight outlined her features, and her silver hair fluttered in the wind, making her look like an elf who had fallen to earth, a stunning sight in the courtyard.

"Slap slap—"

A crisp clapping sound rang out. Yun Ming stood on one side of the courtyard, watching the girl's fluid movements with admiration in his eyes. He said, "Not bad, Na'er. Your understanding of spear techniques is even better than I expected. You are probably unmatched among your peers now."

To receive such high praise from the strongest person on the continent speaks volumes about Na'er's extraordinary talent.

Upon hearing this, the silver-haired girl stuck out her pink tongue, her eyes crinkling with a playful smile: "It's all thanks to the teacher's excellent teaching."

"You little rascal."

Yun Ming smiled indulgently, the joy in his eyes impossible to hide.

He was well aware that although he had taken Na'er as his disciple, he had only taught her a set of spear techniques yesterday. In just one night, the child had not only mastered the spear techniques to perfection, but had also managed to comprehend the essence of spear fighting. Such comprehension was truly extraordinary.

While pleased, Yun Ming didn't forget to give him a gentle reminder, his expression slightly serious: "Your comprehension is naturally top-notch, but in Soul Master combat, comprehension is never enough. Soul power cultivation and combat experience are both indispensable."

"You'll have plenty of opportunities to gain combat experience at Shrek Academy, but your soul power cultivation is your Achilles' heel. You must focus on your training from now on and not slack off."

"Okay, teacher." Na'er pouted and reluctantly agreed, but her eyes held a stubborn determination that refused to admit defeat.

Just then, Ya Li led Lu Xingchen into the courtyard and overheard Yun Ming's words. She couldn't help but chuckle, "I didn't expect Brother Ming to be so strict as a teacher. It seems that Xiao Na'er is in for a tough time from now on."

When Yunming saw his wife approaching, the stern look on his face instantly vanished, replaced by a gentle smile. He stepped forward and said, "No pain, no gain. You have to choose between the sweat of the strong and the tears of the weak."

He looked at Na'er, his tone filled with expectation, "Na'er has excellent talent, but due to family reasons, her martial soul awakened two years later, which wasted her time. Now, she naturally needs to make up for what she missed, so that she won't be defeated by her peers in the future due to this gap."

This is not an exaggeration. When Yun Ming took Na'er as his disciple, he also asked about her family and past.

After all, becoming an apprentice is a major event, and if there are elders still alive, one should always pay a visit to show respect.

Fortunately, Na'er was prepared for this. With slightly red eyes, she recounted her experience: she was actually the illegitimate daughter of the patriarch of a reclusive family and had always been disliked in the family.

When I was six years old, my parents passed away due to a family tragedy, which caused a major change in the family's power structure.

First, there is the issue of inheritance rights.

The clan chief has only two biological children: one is the legitimate daughter of the clan chief and his wife; the other is Na'er, the "illegitimate daughter".

The result was obvious: how could an illegitimate daughter possibly win against a legitimate daughter? As expected, everyone in the family sided with the legitimate daughter, and Na'er had no chance of winning.

If that were all, it would be fine, since Na'er wasn't interested in the clan chief's succession anyway.

But the legitimate daughter didn't think that way. She regarded Na'er, this illegitimate daughter, as a thorn in her side and had always tried to get rid of Na'er.

However, due to certain special reasons, the legitimate daughter could not directly attack Na'er, so she restricted her in other ways, such as preventing her from awakening her martial soul and restricting her freedom.

When she was eight years old, with the help of kind people, Na'er successfully awakened her martial soul and obtained her first soul ring, thus escaping from that family.

After escaping, Na'er grew angrier and angrier. She secretly resolved to cultivate her skills with all her might and one day return to her family to show that the legitimate daughter what it means to have fortunes change and never underestimate a young girl's potential.

Although these words sounded somewhat bizarre, Yunming and Yali had no doubts whatsoever.

When Na'er recounted her story, the emotional turmoil of resentment and grievance was so genuine that it couldn't be faked.

Moreover, such melodramatic acts of fratricide are commonplace on the Douluo Continent.

Just like a few years ago, a certain reclusive family experienced the Fallen Angel Incident, which allowed a demon from another dimension to invade the Douluo plane.

Fortunately, with Shrek's help, the matter was eventually resolved, but the relationship between the family members involved underwent a dramatic change, with the grandfather and grandson turning against each other.

When Yunming first learned of Na'er's ordeal, he wanted to personally seek justice for her, but Na'er politely declined. The girl's eyes were resolute as she declared that she would rely on her own strength to exact revenge.

This backbone greatly pleased Yun Ming, who became even more satisfied with this disciple.

Yali, being kind-hearted, took extra care of Na'er, treating her like her own daughter, seeing her pitiful background.

"what?"

The warm atmosphere in the courtyard was strong when Yun Ming's gaze subconsciously swept over Lu Xingchen beside Ya Li. His pupils suddenly contracted, and a clear look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Not long ago, in order to quell the unrest, he used the power of a demigod, and to this day he remains extremely sensitive to the aura of faith.

Now, the moment Yun Ming saw Lu Xingchen, he keenly sensed that the power of faith (the aura of the advancement anchor point) on the child was several times stronger than it had been a month ago. That warm yet mellow aura surrounded the boy, almost within reach.

"What happened?" Yun Ming wondered to himself.

"It's you!"

Two voices rang out simultaneously in the courtyard, one high and one low, intertwined, full of surprise.

Lu Xingchen and Na'er's eyes finally met, and the two exclaimed in surprise at the same moment.

However, the surprise in Lu Xingchen's eyes was fleeting, concealing a deliberate act of pretense.

Na'er was genuinely shocked, her silver eyes wide open. How could it be this guy?

Looking at the well-matched young couple before her, Ya Li's eyes were full of curiosity. She stepped forward and asked with a smile, "What, you two already know each other?"

"Um.

""

Lu Xingchen nodded, his face showing just the right amount of surprise, and turned to Ya Li to explain, "Sister Ya Li, she is the girl from the family I told you about a month ago, the one I accidentally hit when I was teleported to Shrek City."

Using the same rhetoric as before, and having already laid the groundwork, he explained the cause and effect in just a few words, speaking so naturally as if it were truly the case.

Na'er, who was standing to the side, did not contradict him. Instead, she nodded gently in agreement with his words, though a complex emotion that was not easily detected flashed in her eyes.

"So that's how it is!"

Ya Li covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her eyes full of interest. "What a wonderful coincidence! You crossed paths in the city a month ago, and now you've both become disciples of me and Brother Ming. In a way, you're like fellow disciples."

She and Yunming were husband and wife, and it was only natural that their respective disciples addressed each other as senior and junior brothers and sisters.

"etc!"

Na'er immediately frowned, her clear voice tinged with resentment: "Teacher, teacher's wife, why is he the senior brother and I can only be the junior sister?"

Ya Li tilted her head, thought seriously for a moment, and said while counting on her fingers, "In terms of age, Xiao Xingchen is a few months older than you; in terms of when he started his studies, he also started a month earlier than you. No matter how you look at it, it's only right that he's the senior brother."

Are you kidding me!

Na'er was practically about to explode with anger.

In terms of human age, she is indeed a little younger than Lu Xingchen, but in terms of the true accumulation of time, as the half-body of the Silver Dragon King, she has inherited memories of hundreds of thousands of years!

This pride, stemming from the depths of her bloodline, made her subconsciously unwilling to be subordinate to anyone, let alone acknowledge this guy with a faint silver dragon bloodline as her senior brother.

He's more like her junior brother; he'd rather be her senior brother. No way!

But she was destined never to say these words aloud.

Suppressing her resentment, Na'er looked up at Ya Li with an exceptionally serious expression: "Master's wife, the Soul Master world has always respected the strong! How about I have a match with him and Lu Xingchen? Whoever wins will become the senior brother or senior sister, what do you say?"

Fight?

Ya Li turned to look at Lu Xingchen and handed the decision over to him.

Shrek Academy has always valued martial arts, and sparring between disciples is commonplace. She doesn't object to this approach, but it depends on her own disciples' wishes.

"Can."

Lu Xingchen nodded without hesitation, his face still showing his calm and collected demeanor. He'd already defeated Gu Yue, so adding another Na'er wouldn't make much difference.

Yunming and Yali exchanged a smile, and tactfully stepped back a few paces, clearing out the spacious courtyard to serve as a temporary sparring ground.

It's just a simple competition, no need to make a big fuss, this place is just right.

"Alright, three, two, one, go!"

As soon as Yun Ming finished speaking, his arm suddenly fell down.

"Watch me defeat you in one move!"

A sly glint flashed in Na'er's eyes. Her soul power surged beneath her feet, and she lunged towards Lu Xingchen like an arrow. The silver dragon spear in her hand gleamed coldly, and a rich aura of the Silver Dragon King swirled around its shaft, carrying a pressure originating from her bloodline as it enveloped Lu Xingchen.

She had already sensed the silver dragon bloodline in Lu Xingchen's body. Although it was pure, it was far inferior to the foundation of her, the orthodox silver dragon king.

The bloodline suppression technique is absolutely foolproof against him!

Little brat, let's see how you compete with me for the position of senior brother (sister)!

As expected, as soon as the Silver Dragon King's aura spread, Lu Xingchen's body visibly paused, as if he were enveloped by an invisible pressure. A look of struggle appeared on his face, and his steps subconsciously slowed down by a fraction.

"I won!"

Na'er was overjoyed, and a smug smile immediately appeared on her face. The spear in her hand was already close to Lu Xingchen, and the outcome seemed to be decided.

However, the next second, the smile on her face suddenly froze, and the smugness in her eyes was instantly replaced by shock.

Lu Xingchen let out a deep shout, his tone unwavering: "I will not lose!"

"This is our friendship and bond!"

Before the words were finished, a deafening roar of a dragon echoed through the courtyard: "Roar!"

Countless illusory dragon figures emerged from behind Lu Xingchen, in gold, silver, and cyan—

Various dragon shadows swirled and intertwined, radiating a majestic dragon might, which actually broke through the bloodline suppression of the Silver Dragon King. The power of that might was so strong that even Na'er felt a slight tremor in her heart.

"Friendship-Breaking Fist!"

Lu Xingchen suddenly lunged forward, ignoring the approaching silver spear, and threw a punch with a whistling wind straight at Na'er's cheek.

Ah, 6

Na'er gasped in surprise, her composure instantly crumbling.

No way?! How can this guy have so many dragon shadows? And he even broke through her bloodline suppression? This is practically cheating!

Her reaction was a beat too slow, and she could only watch helplessly as the fist grew larger in front of her. The only thought in her mind was exactly the same as Gu Yue's back then—this guy is definitely cheating!
