Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 14 Silver Moon Flood Dragon Emperor

It was only then that Zhang Lexuan came to her senses from the sudden turn of events; she had genuinely thought she was going to die.

"You are, Xiao Lin."

Zhang Lexuan recognized Ji Lin. Although three years had passed since their first meeting, Ji Lin hadn't changed much, except that he had grown a little taller.

Three years ago, Ji Lin left a deep impression on Zhang Lexuan, not only because of his extreme fire, but also because of his constant calling her "sister," his words were incredibly sweet.

"It's my sister Yuexuan. Come with me quickly. Leave this to Teacher Chiyuan."

Ji Lin grabbed Zhang Lexuan's hand and quickly left the scene. The battlefield between a 100,000-year-old soul beast and a titled Douluo was not a place for a level 30 noob like him. Although Zhang Lexuan was not seriously injured, his soul power was severely depleted, and he was also unable to protect himself in the battle between a titled Douluo and a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

After Ji Lin and Zhang Lexuan left, the dust settled on the field, and Chi Yuan and the Silver Moon Flood Dragon King faced off. The Silver Moon Flood Dragon King, who was already bloodthirsty, obviously did not want to retreat. Chi Yuan also had no intention of letting go of the 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone. The battle was about to break out.

Crimson Kite, imbued with a martial spirit, soared high, her fiery red feathers billowing in the air, leaving trails of raging flames, like a phoenix rising from the ashes. Her eyes gleamed with an intense light, as if she could see through all illusions.

The Silver Moon Dragon King is elegant and mysterious. Its body is covered with silver scales that shimmer with a cold luster as the moonlight falls. When it swims, the surrounding air vibrates, forming silver ripples.

Each of their battles was accompanied by deafening thunder and dazzling light. The flames of the Crimson Kite and the moonlight of the Silver Moon Dragon King intertwined, creating spectacular natural wonders.

However, it is clear that the Silver Moon Flood Dragon King is at a disadvantage. It is obviously no match for Chi Yuan. Chi Yuan is not using her full strength either, because she did not even use her soul skills. She simply used her fist techniques to fight the Silver Moon Flood Dragon King.

Just then, Chi Yuan's eighth spirit ring lit up.

"Eighth Soul Skill, Vermilion Bird Stepping on Clouds."

In an instant, Chi Yuan appeared above the Silver Moon Flood Dragon Emperor's head, kicking down with flames wrapped around her right foot. The flames then enveloped Chi Yuan, transforming her into a crimson Vermilion Bird that descended from the sky.

"Bang!"

"Woo-hoo."

Chi Yuan kicked the Silver Moon Flood Dragon King, who let out a miserable scream and crashed to the ground from the sky, its body wreathed in flames.

The Silver Moon Dragon King crashed into the ground, creating a crater tens of meters wide.

The Silver Moon Dragon King lay in the pit, its body covered in charred marks, barely breathing, clearly severely injured and on the verge of death.

Chi Yuan only used her eighth soul skill from beginning to end. If it weren't for the need for a quick victory, she wouldn't even need to use a soul skill to easily defeat the Silver Moon Flood Dragon Emperor.

Just then, a yellow light rapidly approached from the sky, but Chi Yuan only glanced at it before lowering her guard.

The one who arrived was none other than the gluttonous Douluo Xuanzi, who had arrived late.

Xuanzi landed and looked at the mess on the ground, the severed limbs, and Chi Yuan and the Silver Moon Dragon King under Chi Yuan's feet.

He stared blankly at the horrific scene.

"What's going on? What happened?"

Zhang Lexuan and Ji Lin helped the three seriously injured inner court disciples to Xuanzi's side.

Zhang Lexuan's face was filled with complex emotions and sadness.

"Elder Xuan, you've finally arrived."

Her tone was tinged with grief, a hint of questioning, and guilt.

She knew about Elder Xuan's martial soul flaw. Although she blamed Elder Xuan, she wouldn't put all the blame on him. No one could have predicted encountering a 100,000-year-old soul beast in the mixed zone. As the senior sister and team leader, it was her fault for failing to protect her junior brothers and sisters.

She felt extremely guilty and remorseful, and was also angry that Elder Xuan had failed her at the crucial moment, but she knew that she couldn't blame Elder Xuan entirely; it was just bad luck on their part.

"Le Xuan, what happened? Why did it turn out like this? Where is everyone else? Why are there only a few of you?"

Xuanzi asked tremblingly, his face blank and bewildered. He dared not connect the severed limbs and broken arms at the scene with those of other inner court disciples.

Zhang Lexuan bit her lip tightly with her pearly teeth, and scarlet blood flowed down the corner of her mouth. Tears flowed uncontrollably, revealing an unprecedentedly vulnerable state.

"After we got separated, we encountered the 100,000-year-old Silver Moon Flood Dragon King. All the other junior brothers and sisters died. If it weren't for Xiao Lin bringing His Majesty the Crimson Douluo to save me in time, I'm afraid I would have..."

"Bang! How could this happen? What am I doing?!"

Xuanzi knelt on both knees, swaying unsteadily, overwhelmed by guilt, pain, and sorrow.

He was dealt an unprecedented blow. They were just a group of children. They were disciples of Shrek Academy's inner court, the most outstanding young people on the entire continent, and they had an incredibly bright future ahead of them.

Because of his mistake, eight promising young people lost their lives forever.

"How am I going to explain this to their families? How am I going to explain this to Elder Mu? How am I going to explain this to the academy?"

Xuanzi clutched his head in anguish and murmured sadly.

"Senior Xuanzi, the most urgent task now is to bring the bodies of the three seriously injured senior students and the rest of the senior students back to Shrek Academy. Their injuries won't last much longer."

Ji Lin's voice awakened the group of people who were immersed in grief.

"Yes, yes, I have to take them back right now, yes, take them back."

Startled awake, Xuanzi stood up shakily, looking at the dismembered limbs around him with eyes full of pain.

He first took out his storage soul tool and retrieved the remains and belongings of the eight deceased inner court disciples, storing them in the soul tool. Then he took the three seriously injured and unconscious inner court disciples from Ji Lin. Finally, when he looked at Zhang Lexuan, his eyes darted away, and he dared not look Zhang Lexuan in the eye.

"Le Xuan, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ji Lin interrupted him.

"Sister Yuexuan must have come to the Star Dou Great Forest this time to obtain her eighth spirit ring. That Silver Moon Flood Dragon King is about to die. I can't absorb a 100,000-year spirit ring right now, and Teacher Chiyuan doesn't need one either. Rather than wasting it, why not let Sister Yuexuan absorb it? It just so happens that the Silver Moon Flood Dragon King's attributes are compatible with Sister Yuexuan's."

"Xiao Lin, this is too precious, I can't."

Zhang Lexuan was about to refuse when Ji Lin's words silenced her.

"Sister Yuexuan, by absorbing the soul ring of this Silver Moon Flood Dragon King, you can indirectly avenge those senior students."

"Can Cola Xuan absorb a 100,000-year soul ring? She'll burst from the strain."

Xuanzi asked with a worried expression. He was completely lost and had no idea what to do.

"Don't worry, Senior Xuanzi, I have a way to help Sister Lexuan absorb this soul ring safely. You should take the senior students back to heal their injuries as soon as possible. It would be bad if they were too late and suffered any aftereffects."

"Alright, I trust you. I'm leaving Yuexuan in your care."

Upon hearing this, Xuanzi nodded, glanced at Zhang Lexuan with a guilty look, and then, carrying several inner court disciples, transformed into a ball of yellow light and sped off towards Shrek City.
