Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 10: Adding some difficulty to Tang Hao and Ah Yin (two in one)

On the way back, the soul guide car drove steadily towards the Wu family manor.

Wu Siduo remained silent throughout the whole process, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Nan Liujing took everything in, and his left hand quietly lit up with a faint light of soul power, condensing a relatively transparent candy out of thin air, and then deliberately shook it beside the other party.

A familiar fragrance wafted over, and Wu Siduo twitched her delicate nose and looked sideways like a kitten looking for food.

At this moment, Nan Liujing quickly grabbed her white and tender little hand and forced it into her hand.

"My candy martial soul has not yet obtained a soul spirit, nor does it have any soul skills. This fake candy condensed from soul power simply has some fragrance. Please don't dislike it." Nan Liujing said with a smile.

Wu Siduo was startled. She looked at the candy in her palm, which had been specially shaped like a kitten. Her expression immediately softened, and the feeling of loss in her heart was greatly alleviated. She put the kitten candy in her mouth and chewed it, then started talking again: "Why didn't you give the second martial soul a soul?"

"No rush." ​​Nan Liujing said with a smile, "The fusion of souls must be done step by step."

"Eh~" Wu Siduo pursed her rosy lips and said in mock disgust, "It really has no taste at all. It's not delicious."

"I told you not to be disgusted." Nan Liujing said unhappily.

"I don't care." Wu Siduo grumbled, "It's your fault that your candy martial spirit can't fuse with souls."

"Then wait until I have a soul, then I will turn it into candy for you to eat?" Nan Liujing could see that this girl was pretending to be disgusted, so he was happy to play with her.

"You said that yourself." Wu Siduo smiled, with a hopeful glint in her strange eyes, "You owe me a candy."

Nan Liujing smiled happily: "Okay, I owe you a candy."

...

Xingluo Continent, Xingluo City.

The sky was dark and oppressive, with deep clouds pressing down, giving the impression of a storm approaching and threatening to destroy the city. A howling wind, mixed with a few raindrops, swept away the city's sweltering heat.

Rumble!
Lightning flashed in the dark clouds, like veins, leaving afterimages in the sky.

The streets are full of pedestrians walking with umbrellas, and the traffic is like light, flowing in the road.

Hundreds of meters above the ground, in front of a floor-to-ceiling window, Zhang Geyang, one of the deputy tower masters of the Spiritual Transmission Tower, held a glass of red wine. Through the glass, he could take in the entire city. With a gentle sway of his wrist, the amber-colored wine in the glass swirled, releasing a rich, fruity aroma.

Suddenly, Zhang Geyang frowned and whispered in his heart, "Do you want to absorb the heavenly thunder to restore your cultivation?"

In the spiritual sea of ​​this Phantom Flame Douluo, a mysterious plant gently swayed its vines, as if answering.

Zhang Geyang was silent for a moment. "Never mind. You've lost a portion of your original bloodline this time, so it's a big loss. It's okay to absorb some of the heavenly thunder to recover appropriately. But remember not to exceed the limit. Otherwise, if you show any signs of impacting the 50,000-year limit, I won't be able to protect you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand to tear open the space in front of him, then stepped out. When he reappeared, he had already arrived in the sky, facing the dark clouds with lightning and thunder.

Soul power surged, and a faint blue flame lingered around his body, appearing exceptionally brilliant. Immediately afterwards, a flicker of light quietly appeared behind his head; it was none other than the mysterious plant.

Looking at the thundering clouds, the flower bud of the plant shook slightly, as if saying something, but Zhang Geyang did not notice.

...

night.

A grand dinner was held in the brightly lit Dancer's Manor.

The brightness of the crystal chandelier was deliberately adjusted, and with the refraction, the entire first-floor hall was covered in a soft halo.

The elegant music, every beat is integrated into the lively air, immersing people like wine.

The elegant men and the graceful ladies showed off their style.

But most of these people are young people under the age of 35, and they are the most outstanding generation in their respective forces in Xingluo City.

A dinner party is not only a tool for the host to promote events, but also an important activity for people to connect with each other.

In the reception room on the second floor, the real rulers of Xingluo City, behind closed doors, were communicating as they should at their level.

The moon was like a silver plate, hanging in the sky, and the gauze-like clouds were caught by the wind and gradually drifted away.

Wu Siduo, who had already shown her face in front of the guests, brought Nan Liujing to the garden on the side of the manor. They looked up at the bright moon, and the lingering fragrance of the garden lingered on their noses.

"The dinner party is boring. This kind of quiet environment is more comfortable." Wu Siduo sat on the bench. Because her feet could not touch the ground, they were dangling in the air.

Nan Liujing admired the moon. He also didn't like crowded places.

Seeing that the guy next to her hadn't said anything for a while, Wu Siduo couldn't help but open up: "Are you guys leaving for Mingdu tomorrow?"

"Yes." Nan Liujing nodded.

"Oh." Wu Siduo responded and fell silent again. After a few seconds, her eyes lit up and she had an idea: "Nan Liujing, how about you dance with me?"

"Me?" Nan Liujing pointed at himself blankly and said helplessly, "Do you think I look like someone who can dance?"

"It's okay if you don't know how to do it. I'll teach you. Once you learn it, it might come in handy someday."

Wu Siduo became interested. After jumping off the bench, she held up her exquisite dress with one hand, bent down slightly, and made a 'please' gesture to Nan Liujing with the other hand. A smile appeared on her fair and delicate face. "This is my first time dancing with a boy. You won't refuse, right?"

The girl's stunning eyes, stained by the moonlight, held an irresistible expectation. Nan Liujing sighed and said, "Don't blame me if I step on you later."

"How could that be? I am definitely a good and patient teacher." Wu Siduo assured.

Half an hour later.

Wu Siduo looked at her shoes that were covered in dust and her slightly aching feet, and her fair and delicate face gradually turned red.

Nan Liujing suddenly understood.

It turns out that the girl's shyness looks just like Hong Wen's.

...

The next day, early in the morning.

After saying goodbye to his old brothers, Sun Kong took Nan Liujing away from the Wu family manor.

The suspended soul guide car was driving on the road, its destination being the Xingluo City Administrative Center. As the former Chief Executive, Sun Kong had some matters to discuss with the new Chief Executive who had attended the dinner last night.

"Do you want to go to the beach?" Sun Kong turned his head in surprise when he heard what his nephew suddenly said.

"Yes." Nan Liujing nodded.

"Give me a reason." Sun Kong did not refuse directly.

"I just suddenly wanted to go see the ocean." Nan Liujing was silent for a moment before saying, "I saw people online saying that the vastness of the ocean is the most relaxing thing."

Sun Kong was also silent for a moment. When the soul guide car was about to merge into the main lane of the city, he said to the driver, "Turn to the airport."

"Okay." The driver immediately turned the steering wheel, and the soul guide car drove smoothly into another lane.

"Pick a place." Sun Kong pressed some button in the car, and a 27-inch light screen was projected from the roof.

What was displayed was a map of Douluo Continent.

Nan Liujing glanced around, seemingly making a choice, but in fact, he already had an idea in mind. After a moment, he reached out and pointed at Donghai City, one of the coastal cities with a blue light, and said, "This is it."

Sun Kong glanced at it casually, took out his cell phone and dialed a number on the spot.

Under Nan Liujing's puzzled gaze, the call was quickly connected.

"Your Majesty, Tianlei." A rather respectful voice sounded. Sun Kong smiled faintly and said, "My nephew is coming to Donghai City. I'd appreciate your help, but please don't overdo it. You know my habits."

The person on the other end of the phone smiled and said, "No problem, leave everything to me. When will you arrive?"

"I'm not sure how long it will take. I'll ask him to call you when he gets there." Sun Kong said with a smile.

The two chatted briefly for a few more minutes before hanging up the phone.

After explaining the situation, Sun Kong handed Nan Liujing a bracelet that could be worn on his wrist and said, "This person is the master of the Spiritual Transmission Pagoda in Donghai City. When you arrive, just contact him directly. He will arrange food, clothing, housing and transportation for you."

"As for this bracelet, it will sense the damage you might suffer and automatically release a soul shield comparable to a seventh-ring defensive battle soul saint. As long as the internal energy source is not exhausted, the soul shield will not break."

Nan Liujing took the bracelet, with only one thought left in his mind.

He would hold his uncle's thigh tightly for the rest of his life, and it would be best if he used 502 glue to stick it on so that it couldn't be pulled off.

Suddenly, Nan Liujing realized something and asked hurriedly, "Uncle, that person called you His Majesty Tianlei?"

Sun Kong said: "In Douluo Continent, anyone who is a Nine-ringed Douluo is qualified to be addressed as Your Majesty. This rule has been in place since the ancient times 20,000 years ago."

"Coincidentally, I am a Titled Douluo."

Nan Liujing's mind moved: "Tian Lei, then your martial soul is also of thunder attribute?"

Sun Kong nodded and said, "My martial spirit is called the Sky Thunder Umbrella. It is precisely because of my attributes that your father and I became familiar with each other. Later, after we went through a lot, he worshipped me as his elder brother."

"So that's how it is." Nan Liujing understood.

Sun Kong glanced at Nan Liujing and said in an inexplicable tone: "In addition to the identity of Titled Douluo, I have another identity. I will tell you after you finish playing here."

As he spoke, his tone became more serious, "By then, you won't be as relaxed as you are now."

Nan Liujing said respectfully: "I won't let you down."

"Aren't you curious about what your uncle wants you to do?" Sun Kong asked.

A hint of a smile appeared on Nan Liujing's handsome face. "No matter what I do, it will definitely benefit me. To be honest, what I have now is something that countless people can only dream of."

"Next, I will use the foundation you helped me build to build up step by step, instead of indulging in wealth and glory and ending up with nothing but a mess."

Sun Kong's eyes lit up slightly, and he smiled and patted Nan Liujing's shoulder, "Have fun on this trip, and remember to be safe."

"Yes, sir." Nan Liujing raised a smile.

...

Donghai City.

Located in the eastern part of the Sun-Moon Federation, as the second largest city on the East China Sea coast, its permanent population has reached over three million.

It has several deep-water ports and an extremely developed marine transportation industry. It is a typical city for marine resource development.

Being close to the sea, the city's economy is very developed and it is considered a first-tier city in the entire federation, although it ranks at the bottom.

At that time, Donghai Airport was crowded with people.

In today's era where travel mainly relies on soul-guided high-speed rail and soul-guided cars, flying is definitely a luxury.

"Dear passengers..."

With the constant broadcasting sounds beside his ears and looking at the bustling crowd, Nan Liujing easily met the two people who came to pick him up. Just as Sun Kong had instructed in advance, the entire picking-up process was quite low-key.

Both were spirit masters, in their early forties, and unsmiling. Nan Liujing chatted politely for a few moments before falling silent. His visit to East Sea City was a cover; until his true goal was determined, he had no desire to cultivate relationships.

Like many other soul guide vehicles, it drove out of the airport and entered the city after a long time. Even though it was far away, Nan Liujing saw a building that looked similar to the Xingluo City Spirit Tower at a glance, but it was slightly lower.

This Spirit Transfer Pagoda, like the one in Xingluo City, was a Heavenly Pillar-class Spirit Transfer Pagoda. This should have been a fortunate thing, but compared to Xingluo City, the more embarrassing thing about Donghai City was that in recent years, the overall quality of the younger generation of Spirit Masters that had emerged from here had been declining year by year.

This resulted in the performance of the Soul Pagoda Master in Donghai City being somewhat disgraceful. After all, for the Soul Pagoda to be strong, it also needed to constantly absorb fresh blood. The quality of the soul masters in Donghai City was not good, and even the Soul Pagoda headquarters was not very willing to send powerful souls over.

There are even rumors that if it weren't for the developed economy of Donghai City, the industries established by the Spirit Pagoda in the local area would provide a huge amount of money every year, and it might have been downgraded.

When that time really comes, local soul masters will have to run to the Soul Pagoda in the next city to buy powerful souls. This is okay for ordinary soul masters, but for the powerful local soul master families, it is a bit embarrassing.

After taking a quick look at the scenery along the way, Nan Liujing took out his mobile phone and started surfing the Internet. Suddenly, a text message popped up on the screen.

He habitually wanted to swipe away, but accidentally his hand got crooked and he actually clicked in.

"Tsk." Nan Liujing spat inwardly, casually glanced at the content of the message, and his expression suddenly changed. Without any hesitation, he directly asked the driver and the other soul master:
"Excuse me, is today the first day of school at Donghai College?"

The two people who were picking him up were both stunned. Previously, seeing that Nan Liujing was not very keen on communication, they rarely spoke to interrupt him. Suddenly, they heard the boy who the tower master had specifically ordered them to pick up ask a question. The middle-aged spirit master in the co-pilot seat replied respectfully, "Yes."

Nan Liujing said, "I looked it up online. Isn't the first day of school at Donghai College still a few days away?"

The middle-aged spirit master in the co-pilot seat continued, "Originally, it was still a few days away, but there was news that something happened at sea, which led to the possibility of a typhoon. Therefore, the higher-ups decided to start school early in Donghai City, including its affiliated cities."

Nan Liujing's heart sank. He looked down at the time. It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Do you want to go to East Sea College?" said the middle-aged spirit master in the co-pilot seat. "The tower master said that everything is at your command."

Nan Liujing maintained a calm expression and denied it, "I came to Donghai City just to see the ocean, but I didn't expect a typhoon to hit. According to my plan, my first stop is a place called Aolai City. Do you have time to get there?"

"Yes." The driver turned on the turn signal and said, "Aolai City is more than an hour's drive from Donghai City, so it's not too far."

"That would be troublesome."

The driver smiled and said, “You’re welcome. But we need to report the situation to the tower master.”

"Of course."

The soul guide vehicle changed direction and after more than ten minutes, it drove into the coastal highway built along the seaside.

The weather was still clear at this time, the sky was like a bright blue mirror, and the sun's rays were scattered on the boundless sea, and along with the swaying waves, it left behind patches of scales of light.

There is absolutely no sign of an approaching typhoon, which is strange.

An hour later, after passing through a 300-meter-long tunnel, a small city that looked like a paradise came into view.

Nan Liujing looked at the obviously much shorter buildings, his eyes becoming much deeper.

Having met Wu Siduo in advance, he had basically confirmed the timeline for his arrival. Therefore, he had modified his plan. The purpose of this trip was to try to change the original development path, at least to prevent Na'er and Tang Wulin from coming into contact.

If the development line changes, what will happen in the future?

He was not sure how the Silver Dragon King would treat Tang Wulin if he missed this encounter, but there was no doubt that it would make things more difficult for Tang Hao and A Yin, who did not make their real appearance until the finale.

As for Tang Wulin himself, the danger may increase, but it will not be fatal, because Tang San's spiritual consciousness is always within his spiritual sea.

The only problem at the moment is that school starts at the wrong time, which is annoying and he can't arrange it in advance.

Take it one step at a time.

Some book friends asked whether they would go to Shrek, and I need to explain something here.

Douluo Dalu is unique. Aside from the East Sea City plot, the next several hundred chapters are set in Shrek Academy, before heading to the Star Luo Empire. If I didn't follow the Shrek path, I'd have to write hundreds of chapters of my own original story, constantly checking in with the original novel. I don't have that skill (if I had more, I'd definitely prefer to write original stories), so I'm definitely going with Shrek. But I've already figured out how to proceed once I'm there.

The protagonist’s actual background is the Spirit Pagoda, and this will not change.

I would like to make it clear in advance that for book friends who are willing to read Shrek, I thank you for your support. For book friends who are not willing, you can give up in advance so that you don’t have to scold me.
