Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 288 Long Xiaoyao's Test
Seeing that Long Xiaoyao said this without batting an eye, Zhou Sichen smiled.

It seems that not only is she a good actress, but the other person's acting skills are also quite good.

Zhou Sichen tried his best to calm himself down and asked in a tone of admiration yet restraint, "Uncle Long, how do you know me? Could it be that you are now working for the Sun Moon Empire?"

Long Xiaoyao shook his head: "Of course not, I'm just temporarily residing in the Sun Moon Empire. I have some things to take care of here."

Zhou Sichen nodded thoughtfully: "It's obvious that Uncle Long came to see me after he learned my identity, so he must remember my father."

Upon hearing this, Long Xiaoyao gave a smile that wasn't quite a smile: "Yes..."

"When does Uncle Long plan to go back to Shrek Academy?" Zhou Sichen asked.

Long Xiaoyao spent some time at Shrek Academy when he was young, so he was considered a half-student of Shrek Academy.

Long Xiaoyao knew Zhou Sichen would ask this question, but he hadn't really thought of how to answer it. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Finish what you're doing. You won't be able to leave for at least a short time."

Zhou Sichen nodded as if pondering, but in his heart he knew that Long Xiaoyao was only doing this to stay by Ye Xishui's side.

But Zhou Sichen suddenly felt a sense of crisis. Long Xiaoyao thought of their past relationship, but Ye Xishui was a madwoman.

Moreover, he both loved and hated Old Master Mu. If he knew that Old Master Mu, at his advanced age, still had a son, wouldn't he...?

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Sichen still mustered up the courage to ask, "Uncle Long, do you know where Aunt Ye is? Although Father doesn't say it, I can tell he's quite..."

Zhou Sichen said this on purpose, then stared intently at Long Xiaoyao.

Upon hearing the name "Aunt Ye," Long Xiaoyao's expression became somewhat unnatural.

Although Moon probably hadn't told the kid in front of him about their dramatic story, he still felt a little embarrassed in front of a teenager.

Ultimately, although the incident was caused by a series of coincidences, he was also the instigator.

Long Xiaoyao thought for a moment before saying, "Your Aunt Ye... has disappeared. One of the things I did in the Sun Moon Empire was to find your Aunt Ye."

Hearing Long Xiaoyao's lies, Zhou Sichen did not expose them, but silently played the role of a nephew.

As they chatted, the topic suddenly turned to Zhou Sichen's cultivation level.

According to the information Long Xiaoyao obtained, Zhou Sichen had already reached level 58 in cultivation at the age of only fourteen, a talent that could be described as exceptionally gifted.

However, it was far from surprising to Long Xiaoyao, because back then, he and Mu En had already reached level 70 in cultivation at the age of eighteen, and broke through to the seventh ring before they were even twenty.

Later, in his thirties, he became a Title Douluo and together they earned the reputation of the Black and White Double Holy Dragons.

So, although Zhou Sichen's talent at level 58 at age 14 was good, it didn't seem to be much different from theirs back then.

As for Zhou Sichen's expertise in soul tools, Long Xiaoyao was not familiar with soul tools. Although he thought Zhou Sichen had good talent in soul tools, in his eyes, the most important thing was the martial soul itself.

He wanted to see how much of Moon's strength this young dragon had inherited.

"Sichen, since you are also exceptionally talented, I wonder how much of your father's strength you have inherited?" Long Xiaoyao asked expectantly.

The two had been sitting in the teahouse for over an hour, and Long Xiaoyao's way of addressing Zhou Sichen had become more affectionate.

Although Zhou Sichen looked down on this super sycophant, the other party was not only exceptionally strong, but also had to be fed, making him far superior to a mere sycophant.

Zhou Sichen smiled slightly: "I naturally cannot refuse Uncle Long's test."

Long Xiaoyao took a sip of tea: "Alright, you've been sitting for so long, let me take you to stretch your muscles. If Uncle Long is satisfied, Uncle Long will prepare a big gift for you."

Upon hearing that there was a big gift package to be given away, Zhou Sichen's professional smile turned into a genuine smile.

A gift from a level 99 Peerless Douluo shouldn't be too bad, right?
I don't expect Long Xiaoyao to give me a soul bone that's nearly 300,000 years old like Elder Mu did, but a second one that's 100,000 years old would be fine too.

Having served as a Supreme Elder of the Holy Spirit Sect for over a hundred years, Zhou Sichen believed that Long Xiaoyao must possess many valuable treasures.

Zhou Sichen replied with a smile, "If that's what Uncle Long says, then I won't hold back."

Seeing Zhou Sichen's eager expression, Long Xiaoyao smiled and slowly stood up. He gently raised his hand, and a surge of dark soul power appeared. The two of them disappeared from the teahouse.

When they reappeared, the two were on a deserted mountaintop: "Si Chen, no one is watching here, so you can unleash your full potential without worrying about revealing your trump cards."

Long Xiaoyao's words were undoubtedly telling Zhou Sichen that he was a trustworthy person.

Zhou Sichen also expressed his emotional value to the fullest: "In front of Uncle Long, Sichen will naturally not hold back, after all, you are Father's best brother."

Upon hearing this, Long Xiaoyao indeed looked quite pleased, seemingly enjoying being flattered by a junior.

At the summit, Long Xiaoyao stretched out a hand: "Let me see how much of the Dragon God's true teachings you, young dragon, have inherited."

Zhou Sichen smiled slightly, and a golden light suddenly appeared. As the brilliant golden soul power surged, a layer of golden dragon scales covered his body, revealing a faint dragon's might and emitting a loud dragon roar.

As Zhou Sichen released his martial spirit, five spirit rings—two yellow, one purple, and two black—slowly rose and pulsed on his body.

Seeing Zhou Sichen's spirit ring configuration, Long Xiaoyao nodded slightly: "Not bad, the same spirit ring configuration as him."

After releasing his martial spirit, Zhou Sichen did not hesitate at all and directly extended his dragon claw towards Long Xiaoyao.

"Uncle Long, I'm afraid I'll make a fool of myself!"

The first and third amplification soul skills were released simultaneously, and the golden dragon claws, carrying a surging momentum, went straight for Long Xiaoyao's face.

Long Xiaoyao remained motionless, without even releasing his martial spirit. Facing Zhou Sichen's outstretched golden dragon claw, Long Xiaoyao delivered a whip kick.

To Long Xiaoyao's surprise, just as he was about to deliver the whip kick, Zhou Sichen performed a front flip and leaped high into the air, while his fourth spirit ring, black on his body, lit up.

Under the influence of the Holy Dragon Celestial Phenomenon's soul skill, Zhou Sichen's golden dragon claw suddenly grew to a massive three meters in size, slamming down from above Long Xiaoyao's head.

Long Xiaoyao merely raised an eyebrow, spun around on the spot, and suddenly raised his whip leg, using his right leg in a split position to block the dragon claw that was about to fall.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, Long Xiaoyao slammed his hands into claws, sending Zhou Sichen flying. He then stared at Zhou Sichen with a smile.

Long Xiaoyao commented indifferently: "Your combat awareness is good, but that's not enough to make me look at you with new respect."

After flipping twice and a half times in mid-air, Zhou Sichen's body was covered in a surge of golden soul power. Under the influence of the Sacred Dragon Celestial Phenomenon, he transformed into a golden dragon-man who was three meters tall, with a pair of ferocious dragon horns on his head and a domineering look in his golden pupils.

"Uncle Long, the best is yet to come," Zhou Sichen replied calmly as he landed.

The next moment, an invisible, terrifying pressure suddenly spread out from Zhou Sichen as the center, and then rapidly contracted. Long Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow: "This aura..."

Then, Zhou Sichen's right arm transformed into a golden dragon, as if a protective holy dragon was encircling his body, and his right hand's dragon claw transformed into a ferocious dragon head.

"Dragon King breaks the evil!"

One of Elder Mu's signature techniques is his strongest single-target attack, a powerful attack combining the power of light with the essence of the Holy Dragon of Light.

But Zhou Sichen's attack at this moment was not limited to that; the terrifying aura he had just exuded was his own unique power to rule the world.

This attack combined Zhou Sichen's soul power and spiritual power, making it even more domineering and powerful than the simple Dragon Emperor's Evil-Slaying Split.

"Roar!"

With a claw extended, the protective holy dragon on Zhou Sichen's body transformed into a brilliant golden pillar of light, heading straight for Long Xiaoyao with a deafening dragon roar.

Within that dragon's roar, its domineering and supremely powerful aura was amplified infinitely.

Even Long Xiaoyao was slightly stunned for a moment before looking at Zhou Sichen in surprise.

This child has mastered two of Mu En's signature skills at such a young age. As Mu En's close friend, he is extremely familiar with [Dragon Emperor's Evil-Slaying Rift] and [Reigning Supreme].

These two ultimate skills require a very high level of control over the Soul Master's Martial Soul, Soul Power, and Spiritual Power.

Zhou Sichen had actually mastered it, which surprised Long Xiaoyao.

Even when they were at the same level, they had renowned teachers to guide them, and their soul power level was not much worse than Zhou Sichen's. But their true strength was far superior, and this one strike was enough to show who was better.

After his initial surprise, a smile appeared on Long Xiaoyao's face, a smile of great satisfaction and appreciation for his junior.

As the golden holy dragon opened its ferocious maw and surged toward him, the powerful dragon might, though somewhat unfamiliar, was also incredibly familiar, making Long Xiaoyao feel as if he were seeing an old friend he hadn't seen for a hundred years.

"Moun, I never imagined that you would have such a gifted child in your later years. I truly envy you..."

As soon as he finished speaking, nine spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, three black, and two red—slowly rose from Long Xiaoyao's body. The moment the spirit rings rose, the terrifying aura of a level 99 peerless Douluo was suddenly released.

Faced with Zhou Sichen's attack, even someone as strong as Long Xiaoyao would not be able to withstand it if he relied solely on his physical strength, so he released his martial spirit.

The fact that a level 58 Soul King could force out the martial soul of a level 99 Peerless Douluo is enough to demonstrate the terrifying strength of Zhou Sichen.

Even a powerful Soul Master, or even a Soul Saint, could be defeated by Long Xiaoyao with a single hand without using his Martial Soul.

But Zhou Sichen is no ordinary soul master; he is a genius, a true genius.

Even if he copied Elder Mu's martial spirit and only used the power of a five-ring cultivation level, he could still fight against opponents of higher levels.

As the nine spirit rings rose and pulsed, a dark holy dragon quietly materialized before Long Xiaoyao. The dark holy dragon roared softly and then pounced on the surging golden holy dragon.

The two holy dragons, one dark and one golden, clashed and tore at each other. Even though Long Xiaoyao did not use any soul skills, he easily relieved Zhou Sichen's full-force attack with just the power of his martial soul.

Zhou Sichen was not surprised by this, after all, the other party was the strongest peerless Douluo in the world.

But his attack was not over yet. Since he would only give generous gifts to satisfy the other party, Zhou Sichen naturally had to satisfy Long Xiaoyao.

Just after the Dragon Emperor's Evil-Slaying Rift was blocked, Zhou Sichen's body surface surged with golden soul power, and even faintly trembled with thunder.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Sichen was lifted into the air and suspended in mid-air.

As the soul power surged, the space around Zhou Sichen was instantly distorted by a powerful force, and golden light surged and spread outwards like a tidal wave, forming a huge golden halo.

Within this halo, countless luminous dragons, seemingly real yet illusory, appeared out of thin air. They bared their fangs and claws, emitting deafening roars, each accompanied by violent thunderclaps.

These holy dragons of light were surrounded by golden lightning, which darted and weaved within the halo like nimble snakes. Wherever they went, space seemed to be torn apart, emitting a "sizzling" sound.

Golden lightning and thunderclaps intertwined, forming an energy storm filled with destructive power.

"The Dragon King shakes the realm!"

The next moment, countless holy dragons of light charged directly at Long Xiaoyao, carrying terrifying thunder and domineering aura.

Long Xiaoyao's pupils dilated once again when he saw that Zhou Sichen had even taken control of the Dragon Emperor's Domain.

These three special moves alone were enough for Long Xiaoyao to understand Zhou Sichen's strength.

Long Xiaoyao nodded with great satisfaction: "Not bad, you are even better than Mu En was back then."

As soon as he finished speaking, a materialized dark holy dragon suddenly flew out from Long Xiaoyao's body; it was his martial soul.

The Dark Holy Dragon was far larger than Zhou Sichen's Light Holy Dragon [Dragon Emperor's Domain], and it broke through Zhou Sichen's Dragon Emperor's Domain with a tearing and swaying motion.

Zhou Sichen landed slowly, withdrawing his martial spirit. The attack, which had been infused with all his soul power, left him somewhat weak.

Seeing how easily Long Xiaoyao broke through his two ultimate moves, Zhou Sichen once again gained a clear understanding of the strength of the Peerless Douluo.

But it doesn't matter, he'll soon have that power too.

Zhou Sichen took out a baby bottle from his soul tool to restore his soul power, and glanced helplessly at Long Xiaoyao:

"Uncle Long, you really don't give me any face at all. At least pretend to let me hit you once."

Long Xiaoyao also withdrew his martial spirit and smiled: "At the same time, I am no match for you. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

This single sentence is an affirmation of the strength that Zhou Sichen has demonstrated.

I wonder what Long Xiaoyao's expression would be if he knew Zhou Sichen's true strength.

However, judging from the current results, Long Xiaoyao has undoubtedly affirmed the strength shown by Zhou Sichen.

While recovering his soul power, Zhou Sichen said, "Uncle Long, your words are enough."

Long Xiaoyao chuckled: "Your strength has indeed exceeded my expectations. Once you recover your soul power, I will give you a big gift."

Zhou Sichen raised an eyebrow: "Uncle Long, don't joke with me. With your status and position, your grand gift wouldn't be a 100,000-year-old soul bone, would it?"

Upon hearing this, Long Xiaoyao's lips twitched. "You really dare to dream, kid. That's a 100,000-year-old soul bone, not some cabbage."

Do you know the value of a 100,000-year-old soul bone?
