Douluo Continent: Gretchen at the start, empowered by the Star God.

Chapter 47 The Lament of the Buried Dragon in Autumn, The Origin Begins to Emerge

After watching Soul Fighting for a while, Lang Lei found it mostly boring. If it weren't for Little Gresh eating snacks and watching with great interest, Lang Lei probably would have left long ago.

Perhaps sensing Lang Lei's boredom, little Gretchen sped up her snacking, and in no time, the snacks in the cart were all gone.

Looking at the vanished snacks and the unchanging little Gretchen, Lang Lei wore a strange expression.

"Did those snacks... just disappear into thin air?"

"Here it is," Little Grey pointed to her little belly.

"This must be magic..."

"What is Brother Lang Lei saying?"

"It's nothing, do you want more? I can go get you some more," Lang Lei said.

Lang Lei wasn't embarrassed at all. If he didn't accept those gold soul coins, he could get ten gold soul coins for every battle he won. If he bet on himself, he could easily earn tens of thousands of gold soul coins.

The deal with the Soto Arena was simply because he was too lazy to deal with the trouble. Little Gretsch ate some of their snacks, which didn't even amount to a fraction of what he earned, right?

If he's determined to keep fighting here, he'll eventually bring down the Soto Grand Arena. Of course, with the support of the eight great soul master families behind him, it might not necessarily go bankrupt.

However, the other party had no way to deal with him.

"No need, thank you, Brother Lang Lei." Little Gretchen shook her head.

"Shall we go then?"

"Okay, sure." Greta hugged Langley's neck.

Lang Lei got up and left the Soto Arena with little Gretchen.

The waiter behind him breathed a sigh of relief; finally, they had seen this gentleman off...

It's good that they didn't participate in the Soul Fighting Tournament; otherwise, their losses would have been far greater than what the other side gained.

-

"I always feel like I'm either on my way to the forest or preparing to go to the forest," Langley remarked as he returned to his little nest with Greta.

After absorbing the Dragon Burial Lament, the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, and the Qiluo Tulip, he prepared to wait outside the Star Dou Great Forest for Shrek Academy's group.

It's really difficult for him to handle the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python together, but if it's just a single soul beast like the Titan Giant Ape, he's confident he can keep it in place.

Furthermore, I'm about to shed a layer of constraints, which feels pretty good.

Once this matter is over, he can take care of other things.

For example, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Ah Yin's soul bone.

"Brother Lang Lei, can you draw with me?" As soon as she returned to her room, little Greta extended an invitation to Lang Lei.

"Of course!" Lang Lei agreed without hesitation.

As for absorbing the immortal herb...

It's not too late to wait.

After an unknown amount of time, Lang Lei finally sat cross-legged on the bed and began to absorb the three immortal herbs that he had been preparing to absorb.

This absorption was much more painful than Lang Lei had imagined, with countless chaotic thoughts constantly assaulting his mind.

The immense energy washed over Lang Lei's body again and again. Each time the energy flowed through a part of his body, Lang Lei could feel that part become even colder.

Whether it was due to the miraculous herb or not, a moment later, an overwhelming sadness welled up in Lang Lei's heart.

He seemed to see Wanlong's tragic death on the battlefield. Although it had nothing to do with him, he felt an overwhelming sense of desolation, as if he were actually there.

"Is this the memory of Xuanbing and Lihuo's past lives, the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King of Douluo Continent?" Lang Lei walked through it, experiencing the influence of the memories again and again.

In this emotional experience, his sadness was also drawn out.

The sorrow of living as a stranger in a foreign land, unable to return to one's roots.

The grief of witnessing the death of a friend and feeling powerless to help.

……

It was at this moment that a warm current rose from his heart, dispelling his sorrow and bringing Lang Lei a touch of warmth.

Outside, little Greta put down her paintbrush and looked at Langley, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed.

Little Gretchen was unaware of Langley's state of mind just now, but at this moment, she truly felt a familiar aura.

"Alice's little sister?"

……

Within the mental space, Lang Lei stared wide-eyed as pink crystal flower fragments dispelled the illusion and erased the surrounding chill.

Gradually, the reflection of the crystal flower revealed an illusory figure.

"I've been waiting for you for so long~"

"So, this is our first time meeting."

"Hi~ How are you feeling?"

Lang Lei was stunned, a look of surprise on his face. He had thought that the broken crystal flower fragments were useless before they could be combined!

"Oh dear~"

"Even I get angry if I ignore a cute, adorable girl's question~"

"I'm sorry, I was a little surprised. I didn't mean to ignore you, Alicia."

"Just kidding."

How could I be angry with you?

"Haha, thank you for your generosity, Miss Alicia," Lang Lei said sheepishly.

"Just call me Airi."

"Why did you make yourself so unhappy?"

"Seriously, you should always smile!"

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Ellie."

"Yes, I'm a little reluctant to leave, but time is running out."

"Well... see you next time~"

"Next time, be sure to answer the pretty girl's question properly!"

"Okay, see you next time."

Alicia's figure disappeared...

Lang Lei looked at the pink crystal flower fragments around him and smiled.

It seems that his spirit has always been protected by a lovely girl.

……

The subsequent absorption was very simple. After a series of dragon roars, a dragon shadow entered Lang Lei's body.

As a result, Lang Lei's mental strength began to soar. He himself was not sure of the exact level, but he was certain that at least his current weakness had been made up for.

With Ai Li protecting her inner world, she feels completely safe, and even the gods of Douluo Continent can't get close to her.

After a long while, Lang Lei opened his eyes.

at the same time--

"Ding, congratulations host, your martial soul Ice and Fire Earth Dragon has been promoted to Burial Autumn Earth Dragon King."

"Has acquired the following talent skills: [Autumn Burial], [Shared Sorrow]".

"Ding, the second spirit ring of the second spirit soul, Heavenly Fire Judgment, has accumulated 590000 years."

"So he really reached level 40?" Lang Lei clenched his fist.

Even though some of his energy was absorbed by his second martial soul, Heavenly Fire Judgment, the remaining energy was enough for Lang Lei to advance to the next stage of his soul power level.

If nothing unexpected happens, Lang Lei should be able to level up quite a bit after absorbing the soul ring. If he can trigger a quest, he might get another ten-pull.

And now, his first martial soul has probably surpassed that of the six-winged angel.

Burying the Dragon King of Autumn...

At least he won't be disliked by the second martial soul, Heavenly Fire Judgment.

Disappointingly, he didn't grow taller after absorbing the immortal herb this time...
