Douluo: The Unrivaled Demon Lord

Chapter 27: The Treasure Dragon Crystal, Auction and Enlightenment

The evening breeze is getting cooler and it is getting late.

After what happened just now, Wu Ming's mood was more or less affected. He was no longer as lively as before and seemed much more depressed.

Han Ruoruo blinked at Shu Yan and told him in a voice transmission that she planned to accompany Wu Ming today and would not sit around at his place.

Shu Yan nodded slightly, without saying anything more, turned around and went back to his home.

Sitting on the soft sofa in the living room, Shu Yan first emptied his mind and closed his eyes to rest for a while. After his mind was completely clear and empty, he took out a strange-looking crystal from the storage soul guide.

This crystal was the gift that Han Ruoruo gave him when he was six years old. At that time, Han Ruoruo had asked professionals from Shrek Academy to conduct a detailed investigation and appraisal on it. The conclusion they came to was exactly the same as the conclusion Shu Yan got later when he asked his family elders to appraise it.

The things in here are indeed from a dark dragon with a very high bloodline level and extremely terrifying strength when it was alive.

Subsequent long-term research revealed that the rock-like outer shell of this thing is not real rock, but a crystal formed by the leakage of energy stored inside it under special conditions.

The hardness of this crystal is astonishing. Shu Yan's grandfather, Shu Hong, the previous patriarch of the Shu family, who is now the number one in the Douling Army, and a level 95 Super Douluo could not break it directly. In the end, he could only choose to slowly decompose it by using his soul power to nourish and melt it.

It took a full five years for the crystal shell, which had lost its translucency over the long years, to be decomposed by nearly 40%, and only the tip of the iceberg of the treasure contained within was revealed. But even this tip of the iceberg made Shu Hong, who was used to seeing many storms, tremble with fear.

Dragon Crystal! This is definitely the legendary ancient treasure Dragon Crystal that can rival the wonders of heaven and earth like the immortal grass!

Moreover, this is a complete dragon crystal condensed from the essence of a dark dragon after its death!
After receiving this news, Shu Yan couldn't help but feel shocked.

Dragon crystal is a special crystal formed by the essence of a giant dragon after its death. It contains the purest energy and original bloodline of a giant dragon, and has the same effect as the so-called dragon pill.

In ancient times, the dragon clan was the most powerful ruler of the entire continent. Later, as time passed, the dragon god fell, and the once powerful dragon clan quickly declined and perished.

In this day and age, there are only a few pure-blooded true dragons left in the entire dragon clan, and the number of other true dragons is also extremely rare. Most of the remaining ones that can maintain a stable inheritance are sub-dragon races.

The crystal in Shu Yan's hand came from a dark dragon whose bloodline level was at least equal to that of the Holy Dragon of Light. Its preciousness could not be described in words. In addition, Shu Yan himself possessed a dark-attributed True Dragon Martial Soul. In this case, the effect that this dragon crystal could play on him would be even more enormous and terrifying than expected.

Shu Hong and Shu Junyou had both asserted that if Shu Yan could completely refine and devour this Dragon Crystal in the future, he would definitely be able to reach the realm of Ultimate Douluo, or even go one step further...

Unfortunately, the dragon crystal involved was too high a level, and the energy contained within it was too vast and terrifying. In addition, the crystal covering the surface had the property of blocking energy transmission. Even though Shu Yan had now broken through to become a Soul Sect, he could only absorb the energy from the dragon crystal through meditation to assist his own cultivation. As for the original energy and bloodline power dormant in the deepest part of the dragon crystal, Shu Yan still had no way to touch it at all...

……

A steady stream of energy continued to flow into Shu Yan's body. After being washed by the energy, his limbs and bones became more resilient and crystal clear, emitting a faint glow like jade.

Today, Shu Yan's physical strength is almost as good as that of an average offensive Soul Emperor. This is the result of his years of painstaking training.

As the strength of the body and the toughness of the bones and meridians increased, the upper limit of the absorption of soul ring energy naturally increased. In addition, Shu Yan always insisted on using special methods to circulate and temper his mental power, which made his mental power more active and powerful than he could imagine.

Overall, he has no so-called shortcomings and can be said to be a perfect hexagonal warrior.

...The stars are turning, and the night passes quickly.

During breakfast, Wu Ming's mood was visibly better. The three of them chatted and laughed as usual, and the atmosphere was still very good.

However, after finishing breakfast, the three did not go to the simulated training grounds suitable for their respective martial spirits to practice, but flew straight towards the outer courtyard.

There was a reason why the three of them were on vacation at the same time. Just a few days ago, Han Ruoruo learned through her special channels that a very high-standard and extremely special top-level auction would be held in Shrek City. So she simply notified the person in charge there in advance and prepared to take Shu Yan and the other two to join in the fun, and by the way, see if they could find some treasures suitable for them at the auction.

……

After leaving Shrek Academy, the three of them changed from flying to walking, and headed towards the center of Shrek City under the leadership of Han Ruoruo.

The streets here are becoming increasingly busy and lively, with dense pedestrian traffic. The wide roads are lined with various shops with exquisite decorations, covering a very comprehensive range of categories, and there are even shops that look like the foot massage parlors in previous lives.

The billboard in front of the door depicts several seductive women in scantily clad clothes, and the slogans and notices posted there are exactly the same as those in the previous life. However, it is daytime now, and there are almost no pedestrians entering the store. Only occasionally can one see the colorful decorations inside through the huge floor-to-ceiling dark red glass windows.

Of course, Shu Yan just glanced at her and then looked away.

He noticed this store simply because its decoration was so unique, and at that moment he recalled his past life...

Speaking of which, he used to be no different from those rich kids in the upper class society. Apart from eating, drinking and having fun, he only cared about various beautiful women...

The only difference between him and those people at the time was probably that, influenced by his father, he was still relatively clear-headed and clear-headed, retaining the most basic conscience and judgment. He wasn't completely corrupted or assimilated, and he didn't do anything that was against the will of heaven...

After all, the transformation of one's mind is a truly painful process. After arriving in Douluo Continent, Shu Yan discovered that his soul was constantly transforming over time, and his mind was also slowly adapting, until he finally truly integrated into the essence of this world.

At first, he did regard himself as an outsider, but as his soul was completely accepted by this world, he gradually began to regard himself as a native of Douluo Continent, and those memories of his past lives were nothing more than the blessings and opportunities he was born with.

Only now did he understand a truth. His transmigration wasn't as easy and casual as it had been described in novels. Everything in his past life had already ended with the death of his body. Only by completely integrating his soul into this new world could he be considered a complete and genuine person. Only then could he slowly integrate and improve his mind, giving him the judgment and execution skills to avoid danger and stay one step ahead of others in the world of soul masters.

People are either changed by their environment due to their lack of ability, or they use their great strength to change the environment they are in. But in the final analysis, the survival of the fittest is the main theme here.

The weak will only adapt to the environment, while the strong will work hard to gain enough power to transform the environment into what they want.

Everyone will face the choice of being weak or strong, but when making the choice, they should also understand that the choice does not equal the result.

But since he has come to this world, Shu Yan’s choice and purpose are very simple.

He wanted to change the trajectory of this world. He wanted to become powerful, powerful enough to exist forever in this world, powerful enough to keep the people and things he cared about by his side forever, powerful enough to create a brand new world. This was his true purpose...
