Douluo Continent: Angels Descend, Glory Reborn

Su Chen stood on the boulder, calmly watching the two people below, understanding the situation perfectly.

Beibei, Tangya.

According to the original timeline, after helping Tang Ya obtain her third spirit ring—the Mandragora Snake spirit ring—Bei Bei should have returned directly to Shrek Academy. How did she end up here, and in such a disheveled state?

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm observed the two with interest from within its spiritual sea, its spiritual fluctuations carrying a hint of amusement: "Oh, these two little guys have quite a bit of talent. That Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus kid's soul power is probably around level thirty-four, his foundation is solid, and his lightning attribute is quite good, but he's far inferior to you."

"That little girl with purple hair must have just broken through to the Soul Master realm; her soul power is still a bit weak. It's just a pity her martial soul is so poor..."

At this moment, Beibei and Tangya also spotted Su Chen on the boulder.

Both of them were taken aback.

Deep within this remote Star Dou Great Forest, there are actually people? And...

Tang Ya was stunned when her gaze fell on Su Chen's face.

What a face it was!

His long, golden hair cascaded down to his waist, shimmering softly in the dappled sunlight filtering through the tree canopy. His face was almost unrealistically handsome—his sword-like eyebrows slanted sharply towards his temples, his nose was high and straight, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and his jawline was clean and sharp.

Especially those eyes, shimmering with golden starlight, made her heart race involuntarily just by looking at him calmly.

He stood quietly atop the boulder, his long golden hair and white wings fluttering gently in the breeze. Sunlight bathed him, gilding him with a faint golden edge, making him appear as if a god had descended to earth.

Tang Ya had considered herself to have seen many handsome young men—Bei Bei beside her was Shrek Academy's undisputed heartthrob, the holder of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex spirit, possessing both exceptional temperament and talent. But compared to the blond-haired boy before her... it was like the difference between a firefly and the bright moon.

"So handsome..." Tang Ya murmured subconsciously, then her pretty face flushed slightly, and she quickly shook her head to dispel the distracting thoughts. Now is not the time to be infatuated!

Beibei's shock stemmed more from vigilance. The sudden appearance of such a young yet extraordinary boy on the edge of the remote Starry Sky Forest was itself highly unusual.

Moreover, the other party showed no surprise or wariness upon seeing their disheveled appearance; they simply watched calmly. This reaction...

"Run, handsome boy!" Tang Ya suddenly snapped out of her daze and shouted urgently, her voice hoarse from exhaustion, "There's something behind us..."

[Ding! Important character detected - Tang Ya, Sect Leader of Tang Sect, check-in successful!]

[Reward: Immunity to All Poisons (Permanent Passive)]

[Immune to All Poisons: Ignores all poison damage and negative effects, including but not limited to poison-attribute soul skills, poisons, poisonous miasma, and poisonous soul beast toxins. The effect is unaffected by differences in soul power level; even if the opponent's soul power far exceeds that of the host, their toxins cannot harm the host.]

A system notification sounded in Su Chen's mind, and he thought to himself, "This reward is great. Although the six-winged angel's holy attribute is effective against most poisons, it's inevitable to encounter some special poisonous martial souls or soul skills. With this passive ability, I won't have to worry about facing poison masters anymore."

At that very moment—

"roar--!!!"

A deafening roar came from the direction Tang Ya Beibei had come from! The roar was filled with rage and murderous intent, causing the leaves around to fall in a rustling sound.

Immediately afterwards, a huge crimson figure burst out of the bushes at an astonishing speed, smashing down trees as thick as bowls and sending debris flying everywhere it passed!

It was a massive soul beast, over eight meters long and nearly four meters tall, covered in thick, dark red scales.

Most striking are its two pairs of enormous wings on its back—four crimson fleshy wings, each with a wingspan of over five meters, with sharp bone spurs growing along their edges.

Its head was ferocious, its eyes were blood red, its mouth was full of fangs, and saliva dripped from the corners of its mouth, corroding small pits in the ground.

As soon as the giant beast appeared, its gaze locked onto Su Chen on the boulder, as if it instinctively sensed that this seemingly calm young man was the greatest threat.

"Whoosh—!"

With a flap of its four wings, the Crimson Winged Dragon unleashed a terrifying speed completely disproportionate to its size, charging straight at Su Chen like a streak of crimson lightning! Its claws, covered in dark red scales, slashed down with a piercing shriek as they tore through the air!

"Watch out!" Bei Bei exclaimed, wanting to rush forward to help, but his soul power was greatly depleted at the moment, and his movements were a beat slower.

Tang Ya covered her mouth, her eyes filled with guilt and anxiety—it was she and Bei Bei who had attracted this terrifying soul beast, putting this innocent and handsome young man in danger.

Su Chen moved the instant the Crimson Winged Dragon pounced.

His figure shifted three zhang to the side like a golden phantom, precisely avoiding the claws that could tear steel apart.

"boom!"

The Crimson Wyvern's claws slammed into the boulder, instantly shattering the hard, dark blue rock and sending fragments flying. Su Chen, however, had already used the force to leap backward, landing lightly on the open ground three meters away, his long golden hair fluttering in the wind.

"Tsk, they really don't hold back at all." Su Chen steadied himself and made a light comment.

"Hahaha!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm laughed wildly in his mind. "I think it has good taste, choosing the most conspicuous one to deal with first!"

"But kid, don't let yourself get caught off guard. This guy is no ordinary person."

Su Chen ignored Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's teasing and calmly locked his gaze on the enormous creature in front of him.

At this moment, he also understood why Tang Ya and Bei Bei were in such a sorry state—it was already a miracle that they were able to escape with their lives in the face of such a terrifying soul beast.

"Su Chen, be careful!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's tone became more serious. "This guy is called Crimson Winged Dragon. Judging from its size and scale color, its cultivation level is probably around 5,600 years!"

"Don't underestimate it just because it's not the oldest. Its bloodline is one of the purest among sub-dragon species. It has an extremely strong physique, and its strength and defense are among the best of its kind. It can also control flames quite well."

"Even some ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts wouldn't dare to provoke him. Those two little guys were quite lucky and strong to escape so far from his claws."

Su Chen understood. No wonder. Tang Ya had just broken through to the Soul Venerable realm, and Bei Bei's soul power was around level thirty-four. The two of them working together to fight a five-thousand-year-old Crimson Winged Dragon known for its strength, it was already a stroke of luck that they escaped with their lives.

only……

"Why did it abandon those two and attack me instead?" Su Chen asked in his mind.

"Soul beasts often have a sharper intuition than humans," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm analyzed. "It might have subconsciously felt that you were more dangerous than the other two combined, so it prioritized eliminating you. It seems this guy has quite a high combat intelligence."
