Douluo: Dragon King's Tai Chi Mystery

Zhao Xuanzhen agreed with Leng Yaozhu's approach, a flame igniting in his palm to burn the note. He glanced at the dusky sky outside the window. The sun was setting; according to Leng Yaozhu's habits, she should be handling official business at the Spirit Pagoda at this time.

Storage devices and other miscellaneous items are not allowed to be brought into the Spirit Ascension Platform, so Leng Yaozhu thoughtfully placed them by the bedside, where Zhao Xuanzhen could see them at a glance.

Zhao Xuanzhen took out his soul communication device, and messages immediately flooded in like a tidal wave. The excuse was that he was in seclusion for cultivation. Normal people would quietly wait to come out of seclusion, but the silver-haired girl still tirelessly sent messages every day.

get out of class is over, Xuanzhen giegie~

Good morning, my friend!

Goodnight, stranger.

It's been a month. Zhao is coming to my wedding tomorrow. (`皿)

It's been two months, and I'm so sorry I couldn't attend your funeral...

After reading through each message, Zhao Xuanzhen calmly typed five words: "Take you out to play."

The soul-guided communicator dinged, and Na'er instantly replied with a voice message, her voice hoarse and heart-wrenching:

"Resurrect! My! Xuan! Zhen!"

……

Shrek Academy, Poseidon Island.

Na'er stood by the Sea God Lake, the evening breeze ruffling her long, lustrous silver hair. Her exquisite face, unadorned, resembled a work of art meticulously sculpted by the Creator. Now, the girl was no longer the impoverished girl who drank three large bowls of papaya milk every day; her developed curves were simply perfect.

Poseidon Lake automatically split into two sides, and amidst the grand spectacle, a figure stepped onto the water, the clear lake water reflecting his handsome and outstanding face.

"To be fair, you should pay me for hearing what I said."

Zhao Xuanzhen sternly rebuked Na'er, his classic line coming out of nowhere. He had really lost his temper just now and almost crushed his soul communication device!

"Okay, I'll pay you back!"

Zhao Xuanzhen was just joking, but Na'er readily agreed. Her slender fingers brushed against the storage soul tool at her waist, and a giant shadow suddenly descended.

"Mecha?" Zhao Xuanzhen asked in surprise.

A mecha about five meters tall, its entire body as black as ink, with a smooth and understated elegance in its outline, the lines perfectly drawn, every inch of the armor as if it had been forged a thousand times, gleaming with a cold and hard luster.

Three pairs of metallic wings unfurl from its back, composed of countless layers of feather-like, jet-black armor plates. A lifelike relief is carved on the chest of the mecha, with dragon patterns coiled around it, the dragon scales clearly visible, and the dragon's head slightly raised, as if it were about to break free from the metal's restraints and take to the air at any moment.

The mecha gripped a massive sword almost as tall as itself in its right hand, its blade gleaming with a chilling sharpness. Seven uniquely shaped soul-guided cannons were cleverly embedded in the armor, each corresponding to an element, awaiting the pilot's command.

As Zhao Xuanzhen continued to appreciate the details of this black-class mecha, he saw many of the people around him reflected in it.

The metallic wings resemble the wings of a fallen angel, the dragon pattern on her chest is the same as when Na'er activated the Silver Dragon King's bloodline, the melee longsword is similar to the Star God Sword, and the seven long-range soul-guided cannons correspond to the seven elements controlled by Gu Yue.

Seeing Zhao Xuanzhen's face, which was a mixture of surprise and delight, Na'er said with a smile, "The metal for forging the mecha requires a 5% lower degree of fusion than that for the battle armor, which greatly increases the forging efficiency of Jiutian."

While you were in seclusion, the mecha metal was delivered one after another. Gu Yue, Xing Lan, Yuan En, and I worked together to build a black-level mecha. Aunt Leng also came to help!

This is a gift from everyone to you upon your departure from quarantine!

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuanzhen felt a warm glow in his heart. The invincible Emperor Xuanzhen felt a sense of family warmth. He suddenly felt very lucky to have such gentle girls gathered around him.

"Don't just stand there! Try out the mecha, then take me to Shrek City!"

Na'er put her hands on her hips and spoke in a domineering manner, like a female tyrant.

The dragon pattern on the mecha's chest shone brightly, and the cockpit slowly opened. Zhao Xuanzhen sat in the driver's seat, while Na'er sat in the passenger seat. She said leisurely, "We know that you actually wanted a vehicle mecha that is not limited by terrain, so in addition to the basic combat form, we designed three additional driving modes: sea, land, and air."

Zhao Xuanzhen nodded slightly and switched to flight mode. A rhythmic, deep metallic sound broke the silence, as if bones were being precisely reassembled, and powerful energy surged and activated.

Three pairs of jet-black wings fully unfurled, the metal wings stretched to their limit, the feathers adjusted their angles, and a layer of energy halo flowed across their edges. The overall posture of the mecha underwent a dramatic change. The limbs were tucked close to the streamlined torso, the head was slightly lowered, and the seven protruding soul-guided cannons on the shoulders and elbows did not detract from the aesthetics. They added unique armed feathers to the sky form.

In the blink of an eye, the sleek humanoid combat mechs disappeared, replaced by a metallic phoenix hovering low in the sky!

"Wow, the aerial formation is definitely the teacher's doing."

"Hehe, Aunt Leng likes phoenixes! Let's go!!!"

The phoenix tail feathers spewed out blazing flames, and the mecha soared into the sky.

The scenery flashed past beneath their feet, and the high-speed, jet-black phoenix was very conspicuous in the sky. The mech had a special navigation system inside, which used navigation and radar to avoid flying objects that might cause a collision.

When the mecha is flying, a line of small green text appears on the auxiliary control screen, showing the permissions that this mecha has, allowing it to travel in most parts of the Sun and Moon Federation.

Na'er looked down at the ant-like figures on the ground, then turned to look at Zhao Xuanzhen beside her, who was focused on piloting the mecha. Her big eyes darted around, and she said eagerly, "Zhao Xuanzhen, I want to pilot a mecha too!"

"Okay."

Zhao Xuanzhen didn't take it seriously, switched to the driver's seat, and handed control over to Na'er.

Na'er excitedly piloted the mecha through the clouds. At first, everything was normal, but as she continued, something went wrong, and the phoenix slowly plummeted to the ground!

"You...have you never learned how to operate a mecha?" Zhao Xuanzhen asked, his hair standing on end.

"Hey, watching you operate it just now, I think it's pretty simple. Don't worry, I have the potential to be a legendary captain!"

Na'er tried her best to control it, but to no avail. The mecha continued its relentless charge toward a crash!

Fortunately, before the crash, Zhao Xuanzhen activated the Xun character Taoist technique, and the howling wind dragged the mecha. Then, he impatiently switched back to control, and the phoenix transformed into a black sports car in land form, its engine roaring through the night sky.

The car transformed from the Black-level mecha was dozens of times cooler and more stylish than the SUV used for the final exam. After all, the mecha designer was Queen Guyue. The mecha car resembled a black dragon and was parked in front of a hot pot restaurant on Xuanlong Street.

Shrek City has never lacked discerning Soul Masters. Some of them recognized that the Soul Guidance Car was actually a Black-level Mecha. They were initially curious about who the owner of the mecha was, but when they saw the two people getting out of the car, they immediately understood.

Zhao Xuanzhen, the number one on the list of young geniuses, and Na'er, the number two on the list of young geniuses, have seen their fame rise to its peak ever since Zhao Xuanzhen defeated Xu Tianzhao, even surpassing some titled Douluo. Xuanlong Street is a place where the two of them often appear, and everyone is already used to it.

The spicy aroma carried on the night breeze was incredibly tempting. The two entered the hot pot restaurant, and Zhao Xuanzhen glanced at the fiery red hot pot in the middle of the other customers' tables, which looked like boiling lava, and immediately made a decision.

Na'er sniffed the aroma of the hot pot broth in the air and said happily, "I want a spicy broth, extra spicy!"

"A hot pot with two broths," Zhao Xuanzhen insisted.

"This restaurant is famous for its spicy hot pot, you should try it!" Na'er urged.

"No."

Zhao Xuanzhen shook his head, leaving afterimages. Convincing someone to eat spicy food is essentially no different from convincing someone to be gay, because both will result in a sore butt the next day.

He can fight an evil spirit master for three hundred rounds, but he can't eat spicy hot pot!

In the end, they served a hot pot with two broths, the water bubbling and bubbling. Na'er, true to her reputation as a heroine, ate the most spicy broth and drank refreshing sparkling water, while also mocking Zhao Xuanzhen as a health-conscious old man who ate mushroom hot pot and drank soy milk.

This hot pot restaurant is located on the bustling Xuanlong Street, and the taste is no joke. Na'er got hooked after just a few bites, sticking out her little tongue and stuffing more meat into her mouth, while calling out to the waiter for more meat.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Narshas asked in a hoarse voice.

Zhao Xuanzhen smiled serenely, "It's alright."

"Really? The spicy broth is so delicious! Is it because the mushroom broth isn't good?"

Na'er looked suspicious. Instead of taking the meat from the mushroom pot, she reached straight for the beef in Zhao Xuanzhen's plate with her chopsticks. Zhao Xuanzhen immediately became protective of his food, waving his chopsticks to prevent Na'er from taking it.

"Hey!"

The silver-haired girl's competitive spirit was ignited. She feinted past the blockade, snatched a piece of fatty beef, and stuffed it into her mouth. The next instant, Na'er's delicate features contorted in pain, because the piece of meat was stuffed with cilantro stems—something she hated most!

"Cilantro! It's cilantro, the root of all evil!" Na'er shrieked sharply.

"Zhao Xuanzhen, you schemed against me! I'll stab you a thousand times over!"

Chapter 106: Red String Brings Peace and Safety; A Photo More Couple-like Than Couples; Na'er, Who Plucks Champagne Early (4K)

When people do bad things, their intelligence and patience have no limits. If this carefully made beef wrapped with cilantro were given directly to Na'er, she would definitely be suspected. So Zhao Xuanzhen pretended to be protective of the food, and Na'er wrapped it up and snatched it.

Looking at the girl whose face had turned green, Zhao Xuanzhen smiled with a clear conscience. What's the point of childhood sweethearts if they don't sabotage each other?

Na'er gulped down a bottle of sparkling water, then took three large bites of meat to barely suppress the cilantro taste that Long loathed in her mouth. Her silvery-white eyes locked onto the composed Zhao Xuanzhen, and she said with a serious expression:

"I'll remember Zhao Xuanzhen. If you dare to scheme against me today, you'll dare to scheme against the world tomorrow. I firmly believe that following someone like you will definitely lead to a good future!"

After making her statement, Na'er continued to devour the delicious food bubbling in the spicy pot. A beautiful woman's revenge is never too late; Zhao Xuanzhen will have his comeuppance in the future!

The lingering flavor of the hot pot danced on the tip of the tongue, and the spicy warmth spread from the stomach to every cell in the body. The lights, like a boiling galaxy, cascaded down from both sides of the street, immersing Shrek City in a vibrant and bustling night.

Zhao Xuanzhen and Na'er walked side by side through the bustling Xuanlong Street, with stalls lining both sides and a surging sound, as if the liveliness of the entire city had gathered here.

Na'er had long forgotten about the hateful coriander, only remembering that Zhao Xuanzhen belonged to her alone tonight. Her beautiful face was beaming with a bright smile, and she had two strings of bright red candied hawthorns in her hands, one of which she gave to her little follower.

Xuanlong Street, which belonged to them, was bustling with activity. Na'er chewed on a candied hawthorn and mumbled indistinctly:

"Xuanlong Street is really lively, and it's not as chaotic as the outer city of Shrek."

Zhao Xuanzhen took a bite of hawthorn and affirmed, "The environment in Shrek City is much better than before. We have eliminated thugs like Hu Yanba, and those who escaped the net dare not come out to bully others anymore."

By the way, has anything major happened at Shrek Academy or the Spirit Pagoda in the past three months?

“Everything is normal.” Na’er shook her head gently. “Those who need to study should study diligently, and those who need to cultivate should cultivate diligently. The only thing that’s a little new is that all the participants for the inner and outer academy exchange competition have been decided.”

The outer academy consists of you, Gu Yue, Yuan En, Xing Lan, Tang Wulin, Le Zhengyu, and Xu Lizhi. The inner academy, aside from the four of your old acquaintances, selected three additional students of similar age and ability.

"Who is it?" Zhao Xuanzhen asked curiously.

"I won't tell you!" Na'er made a face. "The competition starts in a couple of days, then you'll find out."

Based on Zhao Xuanzhen's understanding of Na'er, there was definitely something fishy going on. There was probably someone in the Inner Court Avengers team who was someone he hadn't expected.

Mentioning the exchange battle between the two academies, Na'er couldn't help but sigh softly and mutter to herself, "After the competition, the Holy Spirit Douluo announced on the spot that you had qualified to go to the Star Luo Continent for the exchange."

You've all left, leaving me alone to guard Shrek City.

"You sound so pitiful, why don't you sneak off with us and go to the Star Luo Continent together?"

Upon hearing this, Na'er's heart skipped a beat, but then she quickly changed her mind, pouted, and said, "Holy Spirit Douluo and Sky Douluo will not agree. They have never given up on taking me as their disciple."

Actually, they weren't bad people; it's just that we met at the wrong time. I'm already a disciple of the Spirit Pagoda, and loyalty to one's master is my principle.

"Alright, you guys go ahead. I'll stay at Shrek Academy to gather information and keep Aunt Leng company. She'll be all alone without us around."

Zhao Xuanzhen nodded slightly. He had ulterior motives regarding this planet, Luo Continent, and so did Gu Yue. It wouldn't be convenient for Na'er to follow along.

"Once this Star Luo Continent exchange activity ends, our five-year agreement with Shrek Academy will also be up. We'll graduate from Shrek Academy and return to the Spirit Pagoda to live our own little lives." He casually drew a pie.

"A simple life..."

Na'er pursed her moist red lips, a blush creeping up her cheeks, and tilted her head to look at Zhao Xuanzhen. This guy seemed to be implying to her that she could be shameless once the Star Luo Journey was over!

"Suddenly, I feel like I can't get through this..."

Her mind automatically conjured up all sorts of images, from kissing and hugging to lifting each other up high, which were definitely not allowed to be shown online. The silver-haired girl usually didn't discriminate between the mundane and explicit content online, but after her imagination ran wild, her beautiful face instantly turned bright red.

Bolona desperately suppressed her agitated emotions and tried her best to keep a straight face as she said, "Zhao Xuanzhen, I can't protect you this time. You need to have self-control on the way to the Star Luo Continent. Don't travel under the stars and moon."

Zhao Xuanzhen's face darkened. What the hell is this "working from dawn till dusk"? Is this how you use idioms?!

"Tell Yuan En anything you need to do. She's been with you for four years. She's honest, hardworking, and reliable."

Na'er decided to entrust Zhao Xuanzhen to Yuan En, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes. Gu Yue and Ye Xinglan have almost openly betrayed him, and Yuan En and Ye Hui are the only loyal subjects!

“Yuan En... alright.” Zhao Xuanzhen agreed.

He had his own considerations for the Star Luo journey; the Monster Academy was just a small bonus. Although he didn't mind telling the Star Luo Empire and the Mountain Dragon King Long Yue who the number one monster in the world was, the main focus was still the Dragon Valley Plane, which buried countless dragon corpses.

First, the favorable timing, location, and human factors within Dragon Valley enabled one of the Eight Deceptive Gods to descend at his peak. Coupled with the Earth God of the Central Region, the Fire Serpent of the South, and the soon-to-arrive Wood God of the East, the combined power of the four peak Eight Deceptive Gods was terrifying. Some plans were then implemented without any scruples.

Meanwhile, the Thousand-Day Dragon Burial only allows the dragons to rest in peace for a short time; they will inevitably be dug up by outsiders and exploited to the fullest extent. Therefore, Zhao Xuanzhen could not waste three crucial years of cultivation time burying dragon bones. Instead, he chose to take a different approach and do something more meaningful.

"Alright, tonight is the last time we'll be out for a long time, I'm going to have as much fun as I can!"

Na'er was like a husky that had broken free of its reins, dragging Zhao Xuanzhen around Xuanlong Street. Zhao Xuanzhen smiled and went along with her. His childhood sweetheart was always full of energy, as if she had inexhaustible energy.

As streetlights swept by, light and shadow merged into a line, and the ubiquitous noise no longer seemed so jarring.

In the interplay of light and shadow, the girl resembled a silver flame, her bright and cheerful eyes shining through. Na'er possessed a unique magic that always brought joy to those around her.

Passersby noticed them, and their discussions were filled with admiration and envy; such vibrant human energy was truly rare.

In a daze, Zhao Xuanzhen suddenly realized that most of the scenes in his memory were of the silver-haired girl's face, running from one place to another, shouting his name loudly.

Some say it's a feeling of novelty, and that this enthusiasm will gradually fade after spending a long time together.

However, this does not include Na'er.

Always rushing from afar, always joining in his antics, never tiring, always devoted to one person.

Zhao Xuanzhen has always been an incredibly shining person in Na'er's eyes.

Their steps were drawn to a dazzling corner, where a small stall was filled with a dazzling array of trinkets, their lights scattering mesmerizing glitter. Na'er bent down, her gaze drawn to a necklace; a tiny star dangled from a delicate silver chain, its light shimmering, as if a tiny star had been plucked from the sky and gently held in the palm of her hand.

"Put it on for me!"

Na'er turned around, naturally gathering her long silver hair with both hands, revealing her slender, fair nape. Her slightly lowered posture was as elegant and serene as a white swan.
