Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

Within the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, since Lin Wan turned the tide of the competition a few months ago, his popularity within the academy has skyrocketed to an astonishing level.

Walking on the stone-paved path of the academy, whenever he encountered his students, regardless of gender, their eyes would linger on him for a moment. The whispered discussions and the glances mixed with admiration, envy, and even a hint of love had almost become the background noise of his daily life.

Many of the bolder female students would blush and run up to him, handing him small, beautifully wrapped gifts or letters, and then run away as quickly as a startled deer before he could even respond.

Despite the sudden surge of attention, Lin Wan maintained her usual calm and even somewhat lazy demeanor on the surface, but her heart was not unmoved.

Of course, what he cared about was not the adulation and attention, but the more tangible things that came with it.

Back in his private dormitory, Lin Wan locked the door and carefully checked the windows and curtains to make sure there was no possibility of being spied on before slowly sitting down on the cushion in the center of the room and gently closing his eyes.

As consciousness sank into the depths of his mind, the system interface, emitting a faint glow, appeared.

His gaze fell directly on the reputation value at the top of the interface, a number that made him feel more at ease and grounded than the ethereal popularity.

At this moment, the number had increased several times compared to before the exchange competition, and the long string of numbers made Lin Wan feel quite pleased.

There's no time to lose; time waits for no one.

Lin Wan understood this principle well. Reputation points were just numbers in his hands; only when he spent them and transformed them into real power did they become true capital.

Without hesitation, he activated the system's lottery function. A virtual roulette wheel, shimmering with light, appeared in his mind and began to spin continuously, accompanied by vibrations that only he could perceive.

"Ten consecutive draws".

A flash of light appeared, and a series of notification messages quickly appeared.

【金币+10】【金币+10】【魔毯+1】【金币+10】【清洁卡（一次性）】【金币+10】【精力药剂（小）*3】【金币+10】……

After several ten-pulls, what he saw were mostly gold soul coins and some flashy-looking but actually useless items that didn't significantly improve his current strength.

The magic carpet is quite interesting; it could be a suitable mode of transportation.

After several ten-pulls, Lin Wan's initial anticipation gradually subsided, and she even became somewhat numb.

That's how lotteries are; most of the time it's just a guaranteed prize and fillers.

He patiently continued to invest reputation points, watching the wheel spin again and again.

Finally, as the glow of a ten-pull gradually faded, a unique radiance, different from that of gold coins and ordinary items, flashed briefly.

【Divine Dragon Xisu (from "Legend of the Dragon")】

The moment the notification sound ended, a card depicting a dragon egg covered in strange patterns and emitting a faint glow floated in his system space.

"Ooh!"

Even Lin Wan, who is usually calm and composed even in the face of a collapsing mountain, couldn't help but gasp at this moment, her eyes bursting with uncontrollable joy.

I drew another character card! Great! Great! Really great!

After drawing a series of items and gold coins, Lin Wan finally got a character card. His eyes welled up with tears. It had been a long time since he had drawn a new character card.

This feeling of rain after a long drought is enough to sweep away all the frustration of drawing junk items.

He eagerly focused his attention on the card, examining the detailed information about his new companion.

Character: Xisu

Race: Water Dragon

Source: The Legend of the Dragon

Status: Dragon egg (unhatched)

Background: Five hundred years ago, a kingdom called Dragon's Blessing Land was threatened by a dark force called "Black Demon".

This terrifying power stems from humanity's endless strife and suspicion, capable of devouring all life and turning it into cold stone.

To protect the humans who depend on them, the great dragons stepped forward and engaged in a fierce and tragic battle against the dark demons.

However, the power of the Black Demon was too terrifying, and the vast majority of the dragons were devoured in the battle and turned into stone statues.

In the final battle, the dragon Shisu and her brothers and sisters combined all their magical power to create the Dragon Balls, a precious treasure containing the last hope of the world. They successfully defeated the Dark Lord and saved the world.

But the price was heavy. His brothers and sisters all died from exhaustion, and Hissu himself also exhausted his strength and fell into a long slumber, becoming the last dragon in the world.

"The Legend of the Dragon... the last dragon..." Lin Wan murmured, digesting the information.

The backstory sounds quite tragic, about a dragon carrying the hopes of its entire race.

However, his excitement didn't last long before he discovered a crucial problem.

This character card is different from Ursula and Godot he drew before. Instead, like the Nine-Colored Deer and the Frog Prince, it is a character card that needs to be developed again.

Chapter 147 Dragon Realm

"Sigh, why isn't this a special character card!"

Lin Wan rubbed her temples helplessly, her excitement from earlier having cooled down considerably.

I finally managed to draw another character card, but it turns out to be a baby that needs to be raised from scratch.

Moreover, this dragon is still in the form of a dragon egg!

He looked at the quiet dragon egg in his system space and felt a headache coming on. What should he do? He couldn't just keep it warm like he was incubating a chick, could he? This was a dragon egg; the incubation conditions must be extraordinary.

He hesitated for a long time, his fingertips tapping unconsciously on the table, pondering how to help Xisu hatch. Should he nurture it with soul power? Place it in an extreme environment like the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well? Or would some special energy ritual be needed?

Time passed slowly, and Lin Wan went through all the methods she could think of in her mind, but in the end, she still couldn't come up with a solution.

He knew too little about the dragon race. If he acted rashly and messed things up, causing Xisu to be unable to emerge for a long time, the loss would be too great.

Lin Wan also considered having the fairy tale characters she had summoned find a way to hatch the dragon egg.

Queen Eva was knowledgeable and experienced, and perhaps knew some of the secrets.

The nine-colored deer is an auspicious beast with abundant life energy, and may be able to provide assistance.

Even Ursula, who lives far away in the deep sea, might possess some unorthodox contracts or incubation techniques as a witch.

But he suppressed the thought as soon as it popped into his head.

He gently shook his head. The summoned fairytale characters each had their own thoughts: Eva navigated the power dynamics at the heart of the Heavenly Dou realm, the Nine-Colored Deer maintained the balance of the Star Dou Great Forest, and Ursula managed her kingdom of faith in the deep sea…

Letting them incubate a dragon egg that requires an unknown amount of effort—putting aside whether they are skilled at it, would they really put in their best effort?

What if things don't go well? What if something goes wrong and the dragon eggs are damaged? Then all his investment would be wasted.

Lin Wan didn't want to take that risk.

Although as the system host, he could have easily forced them to do this, Lin Wan didn't want to.

He always felt that rather than using forceful orders to obtain possible compliance but insubordination, it was better to maintain the current relatively independent and mutually beneficial relationship.

Lin Wan still prefers to respect the subjectivity of fairy tale characters and give them a certain degree of autonomy, so that their subjective initiative can be better utilized and bring them greater surprises and help.

Of course, all of this is on the premise that it does not affect one's core interests and plans.

Now, how to safely and efficiently incubate and cultivate Xisu is clearly one of his core interests.

Therefore, after ruling out the options of doing it herself or asking her colleagues for help, Lin Wan made a decisive decision.

You're the one, dear system.

Lin Wan refocused his consciousness on the system interface. He remembered that in addition to the lottery, the system also had some basic functions that could be used by spending a small amount of reputation points.

For example, information retrieval and services are very useful in critical moments.

Lin Wan rarely uses this function, feeling it's unnecessary, but now is just the right time.

"Help me find the best places for Xisu to grow and hatch," Lin Wan silently recited in her mind, while confirming the payment of the corresponding reputation points.

With the influence of his reputation points, the system interface flashed slightly, and almost without delay, a clear and detailed list appeared before his eyes.

Based on the current life characteristics and energy requirements of the target "Divine Dragon Xisu", the following locations are recommended:

1. Dragon Realm (Dragon Valley): A special space created by the immense divine power and remaining will of the fallen Dragon God, mainly used for burying and resting the remains of dragons.

The Dragon God suffered severe injuries and ultimately perished in the ancient war of the gods. The divine power that burst forth in his dying moments blocked the world-destroying calamity that swept through the dragon race. He also forcibly tore open space, creating Dragon Valley, and moved the corpses of most of his powerful dragons and subjects into it, saving them from being left to rot in the wilderness or desecrated.

Within Dragon Valley, not only lies the colossal, mountain-like skeleton of the Dragon God, but also countless ancient dragon corpses and lingering souls. The intertwining of dragon energy and the aura of death creates a unique and vast energy field, a sacred ground for the dragon bloodline—both its ultimate resting place and a place for the inheritance and revival of power. Nourished by this dragon energy, it has also nurtured numerous rare and precious natural treasures, possessing extraordinary effects on dragons.

2. Core Area of ​​Star Dou Great Forest, Lake of Life: The core forbidden zone of Star Dou Great Forest, guarded by ferocious beasts such as the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian.

The lake water contains the oldest and purest life force on this continent, endlessly nourishing all things.

Its lakebed may be connected to the deeper earth veins, the source of life, possessing almost limitless vitality, and has immeasurable benefits for the growth, repair, and even transformation of any life form.

3. The Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire: Located deep in the Sunset Forest, it is a natural wonder formed by the fall of two dragon kings, the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King.

Two springs, one icy and one fiery, are distinct yet intertwined deep within the spring, giving rise to two extreme yet complementary energies: extreme cold and extreme heat.

This place is not only a paradise for plants, but also a place where the purest dragon power and soul of the two dragon kings are transformed. It is extremely attractive to those with dragon blood, who can use ice and fire to temper their bodies, refine their bloodlines, and accelerate their growth.

4. The core of the far north: The frigid land in the far north of the continent, covered in ice and snow all year round, with an extremely harsh environment.

Its core area contains the most yin and coldest ice-attribute energy in the world, pure yet domineering.

For certain types of dragons, such as ice dragons, snow dragons, or those that need extreme environments to stimulate their bloodline awakening, this is an excellent place for cultivation and transformation.

5.…

Several other locations were listed later, but they were clearly inferior to the first four in terms of both the level of detail in the descriptions and the energy levels revealed in the descriptions.

Lin Wan's gaze swept back and forth across the list, her fingers unconsciously tapping lightly on her knees as she weighed her options.

While the Lake of Life in the Starry Sky Forest is indeed teeming with life, it is Gu Yuena's territory, and the Nine-Colored Deer already lives there.

The Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire possesses unique energy, but it has already been occupied by the Gedo.

The environment in the far north is too extreme, and the Snow Queen is already there.

Lin Wan's gaze finally settled firmly on the number one option.

Dragon Realm.

As Lin Wan looked at the introduction about the Dragon Realm on the light screen, especially the words "Dragon God's Remains," countless ancient dragon corpses, dragon energy field, and rare and precious materials that have miraculous effects on dragons, his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

This place is practically a breeding ground and a cultivation cheat code tailor-made for dragons!

Moreover, judging from this description, there seem to be so many treasures in Dragon Valley!
