Douluo Continent: Taking Tang San as a disciple, with a ten-thousand-fold return for teaching him.

Besides the names engraved on the stone wall in front of them, there were also many strange stones embedded in it. These strange stones were exactly the same as the strange stones on the platform that Chen Luo and the others had just seen, only there were far fewer of them, but they were still arranged in special positions.

Having already gained experience, Chen Luo immediately poured his soul power into these strange stones upon seeing them.

The next second, the stone burst into light, forming a light curtain passage.

Chen Luo said, "Let's go."

After saying that, Chen Luo was the first to step into the light curtain passage.

Passing through the light curtain, Chen Luo arrived in an ancient forest, where everything before him was incredibly real.

Fresh air mixed with the scent of earth filled the air, the soil beneath our feet was soft, and the tall tree in front of us was so large that it would take more than ten people to encircle it, reaching a height of over a hundred meters.

When Liu Erlong and the others arrived, they were all shocked by what they saw.

Having already experienced entering the Dragon's Secret Realm once, Liu Erlong and Flander quickly regained their composure.

Ma Hongjun and Yu Xiuyuan both opened their mouths involuntarily, with Ma Hongjun exclaiming, "Have we entered another world?"

Chen Luo's gaze remained fixed ahead, and he had already used his mental power to perceive the things around him.

Chen Luo has already made some gains; he sensed a familiar aura.

Chapter 299 The Lost

After sensing that familiar aura, Chen Luo was about to go to investigate when he discovered that the aura was rapidly approaching them, as if it had already noticed their presence.

Soon, not only Chen Luo sensed the presence of that special aura, but Liu Erlong and Flander also sensed it one after another.

Neither of them rushed to act. After exchanging a glance, they silently waited for the other to arrive.

The weaker Yu Xiuyuan and Ma Hongjun didn't notice anything unusual. Seeing that Chen Luo and the others hadn't made any move, they looked at the three of them with some confusion.

"Master, aren't we going to start our adventure yet?" Ma Hongjun asked, somewhat puzzled.

Before Chen Luo could answer, a sharp sword aura came from afar, easily severing even the thickest trees in its path, and instantly reaching Chen Luo and the others.

Chen Luo reached out with his right hand and easily dispersed the sword energy.

At the same time, Chen Luo's right sleeve burst open, revealing the dragon's hand covered in golden scales.

This Divine Dragon Hand is incredibly useful, allowing Chen Luo to better utilize his own power.

Upon seeing the sudden attack and Chen Luo's effortless response, Liu Erlong and Flander both frowned slightly, while Yu Xiuyuan and Ma Hongjun were both slightly startled, and more bewildered. However, they quickly entered battle mode.

It's no wonder that Yu Xiuyuan and Ma Hongjun lacked sensitivity and reaction speed; their strength was simply not on the same level as their opponents.

After breaking through the opponent's attack, Chen Luo raised his head slightly and looked at the treetop in front of him. There, a white figure quietly appeared, surrounded by nine soul rings.

The person was dressed in white, with a well-proportioned figure, silver-white hair hanging down his shoulders, and a delicate face that made it difficult to tell whether he was male or female. In his right hand, he held a silver longsword, the blade of which was surrounded by silver energy, like a silver dragon.

"Senior Yu Zongtian?"

Chen Luo recognized the other party's identity at a glance, but the other party seemed not to recognize him and immediately launched an attack with a silver longsword after appearing.

With a mere flick of the silver sword, an extremely powerful sword aura was unleashed, carving a deep trench in the ground and cleaving everything in its path in two.

Chen Luo simply reached forward with his right hand and easily broke the attack.

Based on the aura displayed by Yu Zongtian, his strength is at least at the peak of Douluo level, but there is still a considerable gap between him and Chen Luo. Therefore, Chen Luo was able to easily break through Yu Zongtian's sword energy attack.

Chen Luo had also noticed Yu Zongtian's abnormality at this time. His eyes were covered by a gray color, as if he had lost his self-awareness. He was more like a puppet at the moment.

"Senior must have gone through something. Let's get him under control for now."

Chen Luo's thinking was very clear, and he didn't do too many meaningless things.

With a surge of soul power, Chen Luo activated his martial soul, but did not summon the five-clawed golden dragon.

Purple, purple, purple, black, black, red, red, red, gold—nine spirit rings rose from beneath Chen Luo's feet. This incredibly exaggerated combination of spirit rings gave Chen Luo an extremely terrifying aura.

With just the activation of his Martial Soul, Chen Luo's aura already overwhelmed Yu Zongtian on the treetop.

After activating his Martial Soul, Chen Luo immediately headed straight for Yu Zongtian.

Yu Zongtian had already released his soul skill. His eighth soul ring lit up, and the silver longsword in his hand flew out and hovered in mid-air. It then flew towards Chen Luo and the others, transforming into a giant silver dragon in mid-air, which looked extremely destructive.

Chen Luo's ninth spirit ring lit up, the golden million-year spirit ring radiating golden light. Chen Luo pushed forward with his right hand, and a surge of boundless energy erupted, instantly destroying the silver dragon. Its main body, the silver longsword, was directly knocked away.

The powerful energy did not disappear after destroying the silver dragon, but instead rushed straight towards Yu Zongtian, eventually enveloping him completely and achieving absolute control.

Three million years of soul skill is really useful; it can defeat an enemy in one move.

Chen Luo had excellent control over his power; even if he exerted just a little force, Yu Zongtian would disappear on the spot under that immense energy.

Chen Luo's soul power level is only level 96, which is only at the peak Douluo level. However, his combat power cannot be measured by the peak Douluo level. With a set of "cheat codes", he is not afraid at all when facing Limit Douluo, and is even stronger than Limit Douluo.

Although Yu Zongtian lost consciousness, he still possessed the combat power of a peak Douluo. Yet, he was easily defeated by Chen Luo, which speaks volumes.

Yu Zongtian, who was controlled by the immense energy, still tried to struggle, but he was now completely unable to move.

Chen Luo went to Yu Zongtian's side. The closer he got, the more he could see the gray aura covering Yu Zongtian's eyes. It seemed that it was that gray aura that had taken away Yu Zongtian's consciousness.

Chen Luo tried to use his soul power to help Yu Zongtian get rid of this state, but he was unable to do so.

Suddenly, Chen Luo seemed to remember something and uttered something that sounded somewhat neurotic—

"Only by killing them can I live comfortably. Only by killing them can I live comfortably..."

Indeed, these slightly neurotic words were what Chen Luo overheard when he accidentally entered Yu Zongtian's residence during his training in the City of Slaughter. Yu Zongtian later mentioned that it was an obsession of his.

Because these words were so profound, Chen Luo was deeply impressed by them.

In Chen Luo's view, obsessions cannot be completely eliminated, and such deep obsessions are the best way to awaken a person's consciousness.

Upon hearing Chen Luo's words, Yu Zongtian immediately showed a look of pain. Then, a miraculous scene unfolded: the gray aura above Yu Zongtian's eyes gradually dissipated, and Yu Zongtian actually regained consciousness.

Things that cannot be solved by ordinary methods must be solved by extraordinary methods!

"It's you……"

After regaining consciousness, Yu Zongtian recognized Chen Luo immediately upon seeing him.

Chen Luo slowly opened his slightly clenched right hand, and the immense energy enveloping Yu Zongtian dissipated.

"It's me, senior. I didn't expect to run into you here!" Chen Luo said with a smile.

Even though Chen Luo's strength has increased significantly, Yu Zongtian is still a senior in his heart. He will always remember anyone who has helped him.

Yu Zongtian smiled slightly: "It hasn't been that long since we last met, and you've become so powerful?"

Chen Luo smiled slightly and said, "It was just a fluke."

"This is a senior I met during my training in the City of Slaughter, named Yu Zongtian."

"This is my wife Liu Erlong, my brother Flander, my disciples Yu Xiuyuan and Ma Hongjun."

Chen Luo introduced Yu Zongtian to his bewildered companions behind him, and also introduced Liu Erlong and others to Yu Zongtian.

When Liu Erlong heard Chen Luo introduce her as his wife to outsiders, he was stunned and speechless with excitement.

Flander greeted him with a smile, "Hello, senior! I'm Flander!"

Yu Zongtian nodded slightly.

After exchanging greetings, Chen Luo inquired about Yu Zongtian's situation.

Yu Zongtian said, "I have most likely become one of the Lost Ones."

Is Chapter 300 really that bad?

"The Lost Ones?" Chen Luo asked, puzzled.

Yu Zongtian nodded slightly: "That's right, they are the Lost Ones."

"This place is very peculiar. I came here a long time ago and gained even greater power here."

"My purpose in coming here was to become stronger, but because my desire to become stronger was too strong, I lost my way and became a puppet here."

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo felt somewhat confused and couldn't help but ask, "Could you explain in more detail?"

Yu Zongtian finally stopped saying anything strange and got to the point: "There are many strange and special creatures here. Unlike soul beasts, they don't drop soul rings when they die. As long as you kill them, you can get a certain amount of soul power from them. This soul power can not only restore your own consumption, but also enhance your strength."

"I killed countless of those special creatures and obtained the power I wanted. It was in this process that I unknowingly lost my way."

"Among those special beings, there are also some lost souls like me. The reason I know this is because I learned it from those lost souls. They were defeated by me, regained consciousness for a moment, told me about the situation, and then died."

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo immediately connected the situation with his own experience during his first encounter with the Dragon's Secret Realm.

When Chen Luo, Flander, and Liu Erlong explored the Dragon's Secret Realm - the Tomb of Ice and Fire, they also gained power by killing those special creatures, which was basically the same as what Yu Zongtian had just said.

The only difference is that gaining those powers may lead to getting lost.

Flander and Liu Erlong both showed slightly surprised expressions, clearly connecting the two events.

Chen Luo thought to himself, "Could it be that ordinary people can also enter the Dragon's Secret Realm? It's not necessary to use the Dragon Key?"

"Who cares? Now that we're here, we don't need to worry about these details. We just need to clear the Dragon's Secret Realm."

"I've also run into an acquaintance, and with his relevant experience, I'm much more confident in clearing the Dragon's Secret Realm."

Chen Luo was already very confident in his strength. With absolute strength as his capital, clearing the Dragon's Secret Realm was only a matter of time.

With Yu Zongtian's addition, clearing the Dragon's Secret Realm will only become easier.

"How did you get here?" Yu Zongtian asked.

Chen Luo said, "I have the same goal as you, senior."

"I wonder if you still have any plans to continue exploring, senior? Perhaps we can work together."

Yu Zongtian nodded: "Okay."

Chen Luo knew that Yu Zongtian would agree, so he asked about the Dragon's Secret Realm.

"Senior, what's the situation with the special monsters here?" Chen Luo asked.

Yu Zongtian said, "If we go a little further ahead, we will encounter a special kind of spider. Further on, there is a monster made of rocks, and then there is a strange bird. I only got to the strange bird, and I think that's where I got lost."

Chen Luo nodded slightly: "Okay, let's get started."

Yu Zongtian nodded, then looked at Yu Xiuyuan and Ma Hongjun behind him: "I don't recommend that these two little kids go on the adventure, because it's too dangerous. Even if you can gain soul power enhancement with your strength, there is a great chance that you will get lost."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiuyuan and Ma Hongjun both looked rather grim and immediately turned to Chen Luo.
