Douluo Dragon King: I, the wielder of the Holy Sword, will vanquish all evil.

Chapter 41 Naer
Spirit Pagoda Headquarters.

Na'er sat on the carved railing, her toes swaying lightly.

Silver hair brushed against her shoulders in the cool breeze, and her purple eyes gazed eastward, her pupils seemingly reflecting the distant horizon where the sky met the sea.

"My lord, the special soul-guided train is ready at platform seven." The voice of the Spirit Pagoda attendant was respectful yet proper, carried through the morning mist.

Na'er immediately turned over and jumped down, her pink dress making her skin look even whiter.

A soft smile still lingered on her lips, like a little fox just waking up. "Okay, thank you for your help."

The sweet thank you reached the waiter's ears, and he trembled for a moment for no reason. He quickly bowed deeply in response, not daring to raise his head.

As Na'er walked through the headquarters lobby, her steps were light and quick, and the ends of her hair bounced along with her.

Several young spirit mediums secretly glanced at her stunning face and those purple eyes. But they only managed a fleeting look.

No one dared to approach and speak to them.

This seemingly sweet and cute girl is actually a notorious "little witch" who doesn't follow the rules in the Spirit Pagoda.

For example, there was a genius who wanted to challenge Na'er. Anyone with eyes could see that this was a test by a certain faction within the Spirit Pagoda.

There are too many geniuses in the Spirit Pagoda, and resources are limited. So some people want to use this opportunity to test Na'er's talent and ability so that they can respond accordingly.

According to the "rules," Na'er should have defeated her opponent to prove herself, but she didn't.

Na'er couldn't be bothered with him, so she went straight to tell her parents, dragging Leng Yaozhu down with her and using her power to intimidate others.

What probing, what questioning? If Na'er gets upset, she just acts cute and begs her master to ruin the scene.

In response, Na'er kept saying that connections should be used. Leng Yaozhu also doted on her, granting her every wish. Na'er's coquettishness was irresistible to her.

In recent years, Na'er has been completely lawless in the Spirit Pagoda, doing whatever she wants.

Upon arriving at the Soul Guidance Train station, Na'er immediately spotted a fiery red figure.

She stepped forward and said sweetly, "Teacher, what brings you here?"

"Hmph, and you're asking me what I'm doing here?" Leng Yaozhu's face darkened. "You're preparing to go on a long trip without a word. Do you even respect me as your teacher?"

"Oh dear, I forgot." Na'er hugged her teacher's arm and shook it from side to side. "Besides, you promised me you'd let me go back in three years."

"What do you mean by letting you go back?" The little cotton-padded jacket that had kept her warm for three years was now showing its true colors, causing Leng Yaozhu to break down. "Is this some kind of prison?"

"Hehe." Realizing she had misspoke, Na'er stuck out her tongue and started acting cute and silly.

"Alright, alright." Leng Yaozhu sighed. "I'm not here to stop you. After all, my apprentice is going on a long trip, and as her teacher, I should be there."

She wasn't too worried about Na'er's safety. She knew Na'er was going to see Su Qiu. So, she just needed to inform Su Wuyan to look after her.

Within the Federation, Dragon Sparrow Douluo is most famous for his ability to investigate and control the overall situation. Even if Leng Yaozhu's cultivation level is higher than his, she wouldn't dare say she's better than him in this aspect.

"Thank you, teacher!" she said, hearing that Leng Yaozhu hadn't come to stop her.

Na'er immediately let go and skipped into the Soul Guidance Train.

Goodbye, teacher!

Leng Yaozhu was left standing there, like an elderly person living alone.

The compartments of the Soul Guide Train are simply decorated, with only one window facing the scenery.

The train started almost silently, the buildings outside the window rushed past, and soon it left the inland and sped towards Donghai City.

Na'er leaned against the window, tapping her fingertips lightly on the glass, the image of Su Qiu flashing through her mind.

Then came the message from Gu Yue.

She had already integrated the power of the golden dragon within her, adjusting it to its most perfect and natural state. Everything was ready.

"Golden Dragon King"

Today's lesson begins with practical training.

Wu Changkong said coldly, “You all have a common problem: a severe lack of practical combat experience and skills. This will be the focus of the upcoming practical combat lessons. I’m not referring to combat experience using martial spirits or soul skills. While you have some deficiencies in that area, they are not fatal. What you really lack is basic combat ability without using martial spirits.”

“Su Qiu has done very well in this regard.” Wu Changkong changed the subject, his tone becoming complicated, “He has already surpassed me in this area.”

Upon hearing this, the group all looked at Su Qiu. They knew that Su Qiu was very strong in actual combat, having all experienced it firsthand.

You don't even need a martial spirit to deal with them; the battle ends in a single move. The suppressive power is terrifying.

Unexpectedly, Wu Changkong had such a high opinion of him, claiming that he was not as good as him.

"The practical training is very simple. I will suppress myself to the second ring and fight against you without using any martial spirit skills."

After saying that, Wu Changkong added, "Besides Su Qiu, after you finish training, Su Qiu will fight me alone."

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie were already used to it. Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi, however, were somewhat surprised.

"Teacher, since Su Qiu is so powerful, why don't we let him spar with me and teach me a thing or two?" Gu Yue thought of an idea and immediately said, "We can't just have him waiting on the sidelines before we finish."

After giving Gu Yue a deep look, Wu Changkong remained silent for a moment before replying, "Yes, as long as he agrees."

The next special training session began. Tang Wulin and his three companions engaged in a fierce battle with Wu Changkong.

Su Qiu and Gu Yue went to the other side, where they faced each other.

"I've recently done some special research on hand-to-hand combat, so I won't let you defeat me in one move this time."

Gu Yue was referring to the time when Su Qiu defeated him in one move.

After a moment's thought, Su Qiu didn't dwell on the previous battle. She wasn't even sure if she was acting.

Su Qiu was also unsure of Gu Yue's methods.

Setting aside elemental powers, does the Silver Dragon King possess human physical skills?
"It's coming."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Yue's figure darted out like an arrow. Instead of attacking head-on, she used a special footwork technique to circle around to Su Qiu's left blind spot.

With his right hand formed into a palm, he slapped it towards his waist with a sharp, gust of wind.

This is a weak point in the human body's power generation, which shows that she clearly has some understanding of the vital points in basic combat.

Unfortunately, Su Qiu has no blind spots; he can dodge even with his eyes closed.

With his left foot slightly stepping back half a step, Su Qiu turned his body at an incredible angle, just avoiding Gu Yue's palm strike.

At the same time, he bent his right elbow and precisely pressed it against the inside of Gu Yue's outstretched arm, the movement so fast that it left only a blur.

Gu Yue felt a strange force coming from her arm, which instantly dissipated most of her strength.

She felt a chill run down her spine and immediately changed her tactics, grabbing Su Qiu's elbow with her left hand and trying to use the force to pull him towards her.

The series of movements flowed naturally and smoothly.

But Su Qiu merely flicked her wrist, slipperily breaking free from her grip, and at the same time, hooked her right toe up and accurately kicked Gu Yue's ankle, the foot that was supporting her leg.

The force wasn't great, but it was enough to disrupt her balance.

Gu Yue staggered and fell to the ground. Su Qiu took the opportunity to press down on her, locking all the points of force in her body.
