Douluo: Dragon King's Tai Chi Mystery

Ya Li hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping herself. After the Battle of the Peaks, who in the Douluo Continent didn't know Zhao Xuanzhen? He not only extorted a piece of Golden Water Essence from Shrek Academy, which was even rarer than a 100,000-year-old soul bone, but also swindled the Silver Dragon Pill, the national treasure of the Sun Moon Empire.

Gaining both fame and fortune in just one day, and you're telling me that's called kindness?!

And when I offered you advice, you suddenly became love-struck. Ya Li felt exhausted and didn't want to argue anymore. You two should just lock yourselves in!

The next second, a message popped up on the soul-guided communicator. Na'er jumped up, her clear voice drifting in the wind:

"Things are all settled with Zhao Xuanzhen. We'll be going back to the Spirit Pagoda this month. See you next semester, Senior Holy Spirit!"

While Na'er Yali was chatting, inside the Shrek Sea God Pavilion, Zhao Xuanzhen, with his tall and slender figure, admired the ancient and weathered wood grain of the golden trees on the four walls. Yun Ming's tall figure slowly emerged from the depths, and a piece of light blue metal floated to Zhao Xuanzhen's front.

"According to the terms we agreed upon, it belongs to you."

Zhao Xuanzhen took the light blue metal, his dark eyes falling on the golden patterns that resembled silk threads.

Golden silk and blue water, gold and water complementing each other.

Gold and water are not only the rarest metals, but also the most expensive. This small piece is worth as much as a god-level mech.

After carefully storing it in his storage soul tool, Zhao Xuanzhen finally felt a huge weight lifted from his heart.

The two-word battle armor Tai Chi is forged from four rare metals. In Zhao Xuanzhen's battle armor plan, when it is upgraded to the soul-forged three-word battle armor, three more metals will be added to Tai Chi, making it a top-grade battle armor forged from seven metals. Jin Shui Xiang Han is one of the three metals.

"The elders of the Sea God Pavilion are extremely satisfied with your performance in the battle broadcast live across the entire Federation." Yun Ming said with his hands behind his back, "From now on, the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy is not worthy of being ranked alongside Shrek Academy. In the eyes of the world, Shrek Academy will forever stand at the pinnacle of academies on the continent."

This piece of gold is perfectly balanced with water; it's worth it.

The outcome of the battle was like fire and ice. Zhao Xuanzhen lost, and from then on he became a clown in the eyes of the world. Shrek Academy couldn't hold their heads up because of him, and they also lost their precious treasure, the Vast Ocean Universe Crystal.

With Zhao Xuanzhen's victory, Shrek Academy's situation is looking very promising. Even the two Shrek Academy members are full of praise. The Light and Dark Douluo Long Yeyue's expression changes drastically, praising Sea God Pavilion Master Yun Ming for his boldness and meticulousness, saying that he is still the same daring and courageous Sky-Supporting Douluo!

Overjoyed, the elders of the Sea God Pavilion did not forget to give Tang Wulin and his six companions a disciplinary punishment for their dance performance.

Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, Xu Lizhi, Luo Guixing, Zheng Yiran, and Xu Yucheng were demoted to work-study students and no longer enjoyed the free benefits of Shrek Academy students. The standard for entering the Inner Academy was raised to a 20-year-old one-word battle armor master.

The dance director was demoted to a regular lecturer and will not be eligible for promotion for ten years.

Having received his due reward, Zhao Xuanzhen said no more, bowed and left the Sea God Pavilion, quietly waiting for Na'er by the Sea God Lake.

The long, slanted shadow stretched all the way into the Sea God Lake, where the water suddenly rippled slightly. Zhao Xuanzhen lowered his head, watching his shadow twist and swell.

Azure scales grew along the edges, the heart-protecting mirror revealed Bagua patterns, Zhao Xuanzhen's shadow transformed into a divine general holding a halberd, his cloak fluttering in the illusory air currents, and his two scarlet pupils flickering.

"The Eight Deceptive Gods have met the Master of Qimen."

The four-year period has come to an end!

The central land, return to its rightful place!

……

"Zhao Xuanzhen!"

A cheerful voice always arrives before the person; Zhao Xuanzhen's shadow instantly returned to normal, and the silver-haired girl called out cheerfully from afar:

"Have you finished accepting the bribes?!"

"What nonsense! What kind of talk is this!"

Seeing that Zhao Xuanzhen was stubborn and refused to admit it, Na'er raised an eyebrow and bluntly said, "If Shrek doesn't bribe you, would you be so kind as to help them get revenge?"

Zhao Xuanzhen poked Na'er's head in annoyance and said righteously, "If I don't want to do something, no one can force me to do it."

Just saying.

Shrek Academy's eternal glory—don't I have any obligations or responsibilities?

As an ordinary first-year student, Zhao Xuanzhen possessed a certain sense of collective honor. Moreover, Shrek Academy had a long history, excellent school spirit, friendly students, and kind teachers...

Today I am proud of my alma mater, tomorrow my alma mater will be proud of me... I can't make this up anymore!

Yes, I want the Golden Water Harmony and the Silver Dragon Elixir!

Na'er hugged Zhao Xuanzhen's arm, and the two went to the outer courtyard to meet up with Gu Yue and Yuanen Yehui. Together they returned to the Spirit Tower headquarters for a vacation.

Yuan Enhui was unable to return home. In addition to being unable to go back to the Titan family, Shrek Academy also did not let her off the hook, because the work-study dormitory required an extra accommodation fee during the holidays, and the food was an even bigger expense.

After only two and a half seconds of consideration, the thrifty and hardworking Yuan Enye Hui decisively decided to spend her vacation at the Spirit Tower and freeload off the rich boss.

In fact, since joining the Spirit Pagoda, Yuanen Yehui has received many preferential treatments, including the right to live on the ninety-eighth floor. Even dogs wouldn't stay in the drafty, dilapidated wooden huts of the work-study dormitory!

Ye Xinglan did not travel with the team members. She had already set off for the Star Saint Sword Clan, using the excuse that she hadn't visited her parents for several years, but in reality, she wanted to test the waters with the family. She wanted to see if they could change their plans to befriend Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect, and allow her to join the Spirit Pagoda.

"Here, boss, this is a local specialty that Yue Zhengyu gave you before he left. He specially asked the butler to bring it over when he picked him up."

Under the shocked gazes of everyone, Yuanen Yehui pulled out a huge gift bag weighing forty or fifty pounds and stuffed it into Zhao Xuanzhen's hands.

"Wow, so much! I'll have to thank him properly when we meet next semester..."

Zhao Xuanzhen sighed, "Next time I do an air combat training exercise, I'll go a little easier." However, seeing the slight disappointment mixed with regret on Zhao Xuanzhen's face, Yuan Enhui quickly offered words of comfort:

"Boss, you don't need to miss Le Zhengyu. The holiday is very short, and it will be over in the blink of an eye."

"I know," Zhao Xuanzhen said, puzzled. "The question is, why do I miss him?"

Yuan Enhui, with a knowing look on his face, took the lead and headed towards the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, leaving Zhao Xuanzhen bewildered in the wind.

No, don't try to answer my riddle! I really didn't understand!

Gu Yue and Na'er exchanged a silent glance. The Black and White Duo seemed to have grasped Yuanen Yehui's coded message, and a sense of foreboding crept into their hearts...

Tianfeng Douluo Leng Yaozhu arranged a sumptuous meal for Xuan Na Yueye. While Na'er was struggling to finish a roast suckling pig, Leng Yaozhu spoke up:

"I'm going to Xingluo City tomorrow. There's been an accident at the Ascension Platform there, and Qian Gu Dongfeng asked me to go there."

This morning, the Spirit Ascension Platform in Star Luo City suffered extremely strange damage, requiring almost complete reconstruction. Even the four Spirit Transmission Masters could not guarantee a perfect restoration, so the Deputy Tower Master had to personally oversee the repair work.

Gu Yue said softly, "Aunt Leng, I've discussed it with Xuanzhen. I'll take him to our house this holiday."

What?!

Na'er nearly choked to death on the roast suckling pig. Her eyes widened in anger as she declared, "I disagree! I want to go too!"

Gu Yue pulled out a tissue to wipe her hands and said casually, "We have serious business to attend to. What are you doing there?"

Our sect possesses a Yin-Yang attribute treasure that greatly benefits Xuanzhen's True Self Martial Soul. I'll take it home and introduce it to my family, since our futures are intertwined.

"You, on the other hand, will stay obediently in the Spirit Pagoda and wait for our good news."

"you!!!"

Na'er was furious, her full chest heaving several times. The two of them were holding each other back. Gu Yue was holding onto Na'er's half of the Silver Dragon King identity, while Na'er had the ability to self-destruct and expose Gu Yue's true face.

Neither of them dared to completely break off relations. At this moment, Gu Yue was overjoyed to see Na'er so angry that she was itching to fight back, but unable to do anything about it!

"Fine, fine, you just wait!"

Na'er angrily bit her pig nose. Gu Yue now needed to rely on Zhao Xuanzhen, and with their agreement in place, she wasn't worried about Gu Yue harming him. However, she seriously doubted whether Gu Yue would do anything strange!

Given Gu Yue's substantial wealth, the fact that she could openly explain this to Leng Yaozhu meant that there must be a Yin-Yang attribute treasure that Zhao Xuanzhen could benefit from. Na'er didn't want to cause trouble and could only swallow her bitterness.

While Queen Na'er was carrying a heavy burden, there was always that scoundrel Zhao Xuanzhen enjoying himself!

“Aunt Leng, my mother will accompany you the whole time, and her safety is guaranteed.”

"Purple Dragon Douluo, huh? You may go..."

Gu Yue's words put Leng Yaozhu at ease.

Leng Yaozhu encouraged Zhao Xuanzhen to make more contact with the hidden sect behind Gu Yue and make that sect an ally for him.

In fact, Qian Gu Dongfeng was right. Zhao Xuanzhen's momentum was growing stronger and stronger. The number of geniuses and forces gathered around him had reached a huge number, and it would only increase in the future. Leng Yaozhu gradually began to think about having Zhao Xuanzhen replace Qian Gu Zhangting as the tower master.

The next day, early in the morning.

A woman in a long purple dress descended from the sky, her long, dark purple hair cascading down her back. She had a beautiful, alluring face, a slender figure, long, straight, fair legs, and her snow-white shoulders and deep cleavage were exceptionally seductive.

"Mother/Senior Purple Dragon," Gu Yue and Zhao Xuanzhen said one after the other.

Purple Dragon Douluo nodded slightly, automatically ignoring the words "Gu Yue's mother".

"Zilong, I'm entrusting the two children to your care."

"Please rest assured, I will definitely ensure their safety."

Leng Yaozhu rose into the air, transforming into a streak of crimson light and flying towards Xingluo City. Meanwhile, Zhao Xuanzhen's hand swept across the storage soul tool, and the SUV that had accompanied the six of them throughout their final exam journey suddenly appeared.

The probability of the Soul Guidance Train hitting an evil Soul Master is 100%. He wouldn't take the train again, no matter what. He'd rather spend two more days driving there, since he had plenty of time. He could treat it as accompanying Gu Yue on a scenic tour.

"Guto City".

As the Purple Dragon Douluo's figure dissipated, Gu Yue naturally sat in the passenger seat, her red lips parted slightly as she named a city, and the steel behemoth roared as it set off.

"By the way, Gu Yue, after knowing you for so many years, I don't think I've ever asked you which reclusive sect you came from."

Zhao Xuanzhen was extremely curious about this. In both timelines, Gu Yue's apparent background had always been that of a successor to a reclusive sect. He hadn't asked because he didn't want to pry and cause unnecessary trouble, but now that he was about to pay a visit, it was time to get to the bottom of it.

Gu Yue was clearly prepared and calmly replied, "Our family has a long history, which can be traced back to the Spirit Hall era 20,000 years ago."

We are a sect that relies on soul beasts for existence. We have a secret method to resonate and communicate with soul beasts, and in doing so, we can obtain certain abilities from them.

As the number of soul beasts dwindled, the Star Dou Great Forest was placed under strict control. Sects could no longer have close contact with a large number of soul beasts as they had in the past, and were forced to relocate to a primeval forest to begin raising and protecting the soul beasts.

I joined the Spirit Pagoda for the sake of the sect's development. There are many forces in the Douluo Continent, but only the Spirit Pagoda can allow our sect's disciples to establish connections with all kinds of soul beasts.

Because the secret techniques are related to countless soul beasts, the sect is named...

The Sect of Ten Thousand Beasts.

Chapter 94 The Black Dragon Douluo Who Was Meeting Too Late, Soul Beast Seed, Ancient Spirit Beast Two-Element Crying Crane (4K)

Gutuo City, one of the eighteen pillars of the Spirit Pagoda, is a core city in the northern part of the Sun and Moon Federation. Twenty thousand years ago, it was the capital of a duchy under the Heavenly Dou Empire.

It took Zhao Xuanzhen two whole days to drive to Gutuo City. After leaving the protection of the Soul Guidance Train, he found that it wasn't raining at all outside!

The journey was smooth and unobstructed. The two ate and played along the way, and did not encounter any evil spirits or other dirty things!

The primeval forest where the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect is located is outside Gutuo City. The soul-guided car braked and stopped at the entrance of the forest. Zhao Xuanzhen and Gu Yue stepped into the ancient primeval forest side by side, as if they had entered another world.

As far as the eye can see, there are towering ancient trees, one next to another, with their branches intertwined.

A thin, emerald-colored mist hangs in the air, full of the rhythm of life. Each breath is like swallowing a mouthful of clear spring water, the coolness seeping into the lungs containing the sweet fragrance of herbs and trees.

Gu Yue said gently, "This used to be the Soul Hunting Forest of the Duchy, where some ten-year and hundred-year-old soul beasts were kept for noble children to come and obtain the first two soul rings."

With the rise of the Spirit Pagoda, the traditional method of hunting soul beasts to obtain soul rings was replaced by absorbing soul spirits. The Soul Hunting Forest gradually became deserted and eventually became the territory of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. The forest environment made it convenient for us to protect the few remaining soul beast seeds.

The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect's rule is to respect soul beasts, since soul beasts, like humans, are part of the Douluo Continent. The Spirit Pagoda's initial goal was also for humans and soul beasts to coexist harmoniously. The two sects share the same ideals, which is one of the reasons I'm willing to join the Spirit Pagoda.

"Initially... the Spirit Pagoda was indeed there."

Zhao Xuanzhen sighed softly. It is undeniable that the Spirit Pagoda was originally well-intentioned, but its creators overlooked the greed and cruelty inherent in human nature. Humans, whose wings were growing stronger, could not tolerate soul beasts, even though the extinction of soul beasts would be equivalent to the extinction of soul masters.

The moss underfoot was as thick as a velvet carpet, making no sound when stepped on. Several fluorescent blue butterfly-shaped soul beasts darted through the forest, their wings shimmering with multicolored light, fluttering and dancing with scattered specks of light, before disappearing in the blink of an eye into the depths of the vine-woven forest.

"Be careful of the root system of plant-type soul beasts."

Gu Yue whispered a reminder, condensing a ball of light-attribute soul power at her fingertips to illuminate the tangled, snake-like tree roots ahead.

Zhao Xuanzhen released his spiritual power from the Spirit Abyss Realm to probe the path ahead. The ripple-like spiritual network spread out and suddenly looked up when it touched a certain shadow.

A pair of fiery red beastly eyes lit up from the shadows, and a large, snow-white cat slowly emerged, its mane flowing like a snow-capped mountain. It let out a low growl, its eyes constantly shifting between Gu Yue and Zhao Xuanzhen.

"The Thousand-Year Crimson Flame Spirit Cat will not attack people unless provoked."

Gu Yue beckoned, and the Crimson Flame Cat immediately came running excitedly, its fluffy head rubbing against her slender, fair legs in a coquettish manner.

"Can I touch it?" Zhao Xuanzhen asked eagerly.

"Cat or leg?" Gu Yue asked, tilting her head.

"……cat."

"Disappointing, I'm not even as good as a cat."

The girl spoke with a hint of reproach as she bent down, picked up the Crimson Flame Cat, and placed it in Zhao Xuanzhen's arms.

Gu Yue had absolute control over the soul beasts. The kitten lowered its guard and let Zhao Xuanzhen stroke its silky white fur back and forth. It was obedient and cute, and occasionally purred happily.

You like cats?

"As we all know, humans can't resist petting cats," Zhao Xuanzhen said seriously.

The two people and the cat continued to venture deeper into the forest. The Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts was almost indistinguishable from the real Forest of Soul Beasts, with all sorts of soul beasts everywhere.

Dragon Blood Vines clung to the Demon Eye Ancient Tree, their trunks oozing crimson sap. A group of Azure Sea Squirrels perched on the branches, pine cones in hand, their tails glowing with eerie green phosphorescence as they curiously observed the intruders. The swamp bubbled and bubbled, when suddenly a giant claw covered in moss emerged, only to quickly sink back into the mud, leaving behind swirling vortexes of soul power.
