Douluo Continent: The Purple Dragon's Roar, the End of the Dark Abyss

Long Xiaoyao nodded slightly, his soul power surging slightly, already ready to set off.

……

High in the air, Ye Linyi pondered for a moment and said, "Master, let's go back to my home first. I want to go back and see my parents."

Long Xiaoyao readily agreed, then paused slightly before turning to Ye Linyi with a probing tone: "Xiaoyi, are you really going to Shrek Academy not to cultivate diligently, but to become an undercover agent?"

Ye Linyi touched the tip of his nose and casually laughed, "Pretty much. After all, I have a Limit Douluo master backing me up. Why would I need to specially learn ordinary soul power techniques?"

Long Xiaoyao paused slightly upon hearing this, then shook his head helplessly and said earnestly, "Xiao Yi, the sea of ​​knowledge is boundless. Even with my protection, it's always good to learn more skills. It's never a bad thing to have more skills."

Ye Linyi nodded obediently: "I know, Master, I will."

Two figures soared through the air and landed above a peaceful village in less than half an incense stick's time.

Looking down at the familiar courtyard and crisscrossing fields, Ye Linyi felt a surge of belonging and couldn't help but shout, "I'm back!"

He quickly landed in front of his house and gently knocked on the door.

"Knock knock knock".

"Who is it? Coming, coming!"

Yang Liuqing's gentle voice came from inside the house, and then the wooden door was slowly pulled open.

When Yang Liuqing saw who was standing outside the door, she froze on the spot, her eyes instantly turning red.

Ye Linyi looked at his mother, who was a head shorter than him and had a gentle face, and smiled brightly, waving, "Mom, I'm back!"

Unable to contain her longing any longer, Yang Liuqing stepped forward and embraced Ye Linyi tightly, her voice choked with emotion: "Xiaoyi, my child, how have you been these past two years? Have you suffered any injustice?"

Ye Linyi gently patted his mother's back, scratched his head, and said with a smile, "Everything's fine, Mom, I'm okay. By the way, where's Dad? Where did he go?"

Yang Liuqing then released him and hurriedly shouted into the house, "Old Ye! Come out and see who's back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Zihao strode out of the inner room. When he saw the tall and handsome Ye Linyi standing at the door, the old man's eyes widened suddenly. He rubbed his eyes, his face full of disbelief: "You...you're Xiao Yi?"

Ye Linyi nodded emphatically and called out loudly, "Dad, it's me! I'm back!"

Ye Zihao was overjoyed and quickly pulled Ye Linyi's hand towards the house: "Wife, what are you waiting for? Quickly invite Xiaoyi in, it's windy outside, but warm inside!"

"Mmm-hmm!" Yang Liuqing nodded repeatedly, her eyes still glistening with tears.

Ye Zihao circled around Ye Linyi several times, exclaiming repeatedly, "Wow, Xiao Yi has grown so tall! He's really blossomed into a handsome young man; I almost didn't recognize him!"

Ye Linyi laughed heartily: "Even if I've changed my appearance, you still recognized me at a glance, didn't you?"

In the following days, Ye Linyi selectively recounted the safe and harmless experiences he had had over the past two years to his parents, omitting all the dangerous parts such as the Holy Spirit Cult, evil soul masters, and life-or-death battles. He only said that he had been diligently cultivating under his master and learning about soul tools.

Yang Liuqing listened with delight, nodding repeatedly: "Xiao Yi is amazing! In just two years, his soul power has already reached level 33, Soul Master! He's truly made his parents proud!"

"Mmm," Ye Linyi replied obediently.

Ye Zihao suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, you mentioned earlier that your incredibly powerful master is here. Why didn't he come back with you?"

Ye Linyi touched the tip of his nose and casually explained, "He was just passing by when he visited an old friend of many years."

And this old friend is none other than Moon, the master of Shrek Sea God Pavilion.

Ye Zihao suddenly realized what was going on, nodded, and didn't ask any more questions.

Ye Linyi looked at his parents, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes: "Dad, Mom, what's your current soul power level?"

Ye Zihao puffed out his chest, his tone tinged with pride: "I absorbed the soul bone you brought back before, and now my soul power has broken through to level 82, the Soul Douluo!"

Yang Liuqing also said with a smile, "I'm not bad either, I'm a level 81 Soul Douluo now."

Ye Linyi's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly, "Great, that's wonderful!"

As night deepened, moonlight streamed into the room through the window.

Just as Ye Linyi was about to rest, the space in the room suddenly rippled slightly, and Long Xiaoyao's figure appeared silently in front of him.

Ye Linyi was slightly startled: "Master, what brings you here?"

Long Xiaoyao flipped his hand, took out an exquisitely crafted document with gold lettering, and handed it over: "I've come to deliver something to you."

Ye Linyi reached out and took it, then looked down and his pupils contracted slightly—the words "Shrek Academy Admission Notice" were clearly written on it.

He was overjoyed. He had been wondering how he could obtain this item, and quickly looked up to thank him, "Thank you, Master!"

"Alright, the things have been delivered, I'll be going now. You get some rest." Long Xiaoyao said calmly, and with a flicker, he disappeared into the night again.

"Alright, goodbye Master!"

After spending more than a month at home, enjoying time with his parents, Ye Linyi knew it was time to get down to business.

At dawn, he bid farewell to his parents, his figure transforming into a streak of light as he swiftly traversed the dense jungle.

The trees beneath his feet rushed past, the wind whistling in his ears. Ye Linyi gazed at the open terrain ahead and murmured, "We should be approaching the territory of the Star Luo Empire soon."

After speeding for another half hour, the jungle in front of us completely disappeared, replaced by towering pavilions, bustling streets, and a constant stream of people. A magnificent and prosperous city came into view.

A flicker of excitement flashed in Ye Linyi's eyes: "We've arrived, the Star Luo Empire!"

"Gold of Life, here I come!"

He moved again, and in a few flashes, he landed on the main street of Xingluo City.

The sudden appearance of the figure naturally attracted the attention of passersby on the street. When everyone saw Ye Linyi's face clearly, they couldn't help but gasp and couldn't look away for a long time. The young man was tall and straight, with an extremely handsome face and an arrogant yet sharp temperament that made him unforgettable at first glance.

Ye Linyi paid no attention to the stares around him. He surveyed the bustling surroundings and made up his mind: first, find a nice hotel to settle down, and then go and inquire about the auction of the soul tool that carries the gold of life.

After some selection, Ye Linyi entered a hotel with exquisite decor and elegant surroundings.

"Waiter, please get me a room."

The moment the receptionist looked up, her gaze fell on Ye Linyi's face, and she froze on the spot, her cheeks flushing slightly, unable to recover for a long time.

Ye Linyi reached out and gently waved his hand in front of her: "Receptionist, are you alright?"

The receptionist, as if waking from a dream, blushed and quickly nodded, "Ah...you want a room, right?"

"Hmm." Ye Linyi nodded slightly.

"It costs one gold soul coin to book a room," the receptionist said shyly to Ye Linyi, stealing a few glances at him after she finished speaking.

Ye Linyi raised his hand and took out a golden soul coin from his storage soul tool, gently placing it on the counter.

The receptionist took the gold coin and quickly handed over a room key engraved with the number 520.

Ye Linyi reached out and took it, saying politely, "Thank you."

The receptionist blushed, lowered her head, and mustered her courage to ask in a low voice, "Handsome, what's your name? Can we get to know each other?"

But she waited for a long time without receiving a response. When she looked up, Ye Linyi was no longer there.

Ye Linyi had already pushed open the door to room 520, collapsed onto the soft, comfortable bed, and let out a long sigh of relief. After resting for a short while, he got up again and went to the hotel reception.

"Excuse me, do you know where there's a large-scale soul tool auction around here?"

When the receptionist saw Ye Linyi return, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, and she quickly told him everything she knew.

Ye Linyi carefully wrote it down and nodded his thanks, saying, "Thank you very much."

The receptionist quickly asked, "By the way, you haven't told me your name yet!"

"Ye Linyi".

The boy's voice faded as he walked out of the hotel.

The receptionist stood there, silently repeating the name "Ye Linyi" to herself, her cheeks still flushed.

Following the directions given by the receptionist, Ye Linyi quickly arrived at the location of the Soul Tool Auction.

To his dismay, upon arrival he learned that today was not the auction day and the auction had been temporarily cancelled.

Ye Linyi froze on the spot, and couldn't help but curse inwardly: "What? You're only telling me now that there's no auction today?!"

He rubbed his temples helplessly. Oh well, he hadn't expected to get the Gold of Life in a day anyway, and there was no point in rushing it.

"Alright, alright, since that's the case, let's go see Huo Yuhao, the protagonist of the second part of Douluo Continent, today."

Ye Linyi glanced down at his eye-catching attire, knowing that going out like this would draw too much attention, and immediately silently chanted in his mind: "Call the system."

[System: Host, what's wrong?]

"Recommend me an outfit that can conceal your presence," Ye Linyi said.

[Ding, OK!]

[Ding, Invisibility Cloak: Greatly enhances concealment, perfectly masking one's aura; only Limit Douluo and above can detect it.]

[Price: 100 system points]

[To purchase or not?]

Ye Linyi's lips twitched as he looked at the outrageous price: "Change it, this one's too expensive, it doesn't suit my style!"

[System: Hehehe, this system sees through things but won't say anything. Those who know, know~]

"Alright, enough talk, hurry up and pick one with a good price-performance ratio!" Ye Linyi said.

[Ding, Invisibility Cloak DJ: Can conceal one's aura and hide one's whereabouts; only Super Douluo and above powerhouses can detect it.]

[Price: 30 system points]

[To purchase or not?]

Ye Linyi pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, this is it. Buy it."

[Ding! You have successfully purchased the Invisibility Cloak DJ!]

[30 system points have been deducted]

[Current remaining system points: 240 million]

The item has been stored in the system space.

Ye Linyi nodded in satisfaction: "Alright, the timing, location, and people are all in place. Now we just have to wait for nightfall."

As the sun slowly sets in the sky and the silvery moon climbs onto the treetops, night completely envelops the entire Star City.

Ye Linyi found a secluded corner, took out the invisibility cloak DJ from the system space, and put it on.

Looking at the cloak that offered no invisibility whatsoever, Ye Linyi couldn't help but mutter, "Damn it, what kind of invisibility cloak is it if it doesn't actually make you invisible?!"

Despite his complaints, he could clearly feel that his aura was perfectly concealed. Even if he stood in front of people, unless their strength was above that of a Super Douluo, they would not be able to detect his presence at all.

Without further hesitation, Ye Linyi moved and stealthily headed towards Huo Yuhao's location.
