Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky

Chapter 249 The beautiful older sister who fell from the sky is not Mom but Grandma. Is there a mistake?

"You—you've already learned it?"

Yan Shaozhe's face was ashen, and he forced himself to lift his head to look at Kong Tianxu, whose imposing aura had vanished like smoke, not far away.

In the purple-gold radiance following Kong Tianxu's Holy Flame Dragon Explosion, he clearly sensed an essence remarkably similar to his own eighth soul skill, Golden Phoenix Roaring Strike—

Driven by self-created soul skills, with perfect fusion of essence, energy, and spirit, a single strike can be fatal.

"Yes." Kong Tianxu also walked in mid-air and arrived in front of Yan Shaozhe in a few steps.

He created his own soul skill, of course. If he relied solely on the power of the 100,000-year-old soul skill, Holy Flame Dragon Explosion, even if the attributes were incompatible, with Yan Shaozhe's foundation and experience as a Super Douluo, even if he was no match, he would never be forced to use his life-saving trump card and be on the verge of death in an instant.

Only after being integrated with the Heavenly Heart Sword could this strike, combining ultimate light and ultimate fire, become so domineering and unstoppable. Otherwise, with Yan Shaozhe's foundation as a Super Douluo, how could he have been defeated so quickly and completely?

If it were at the beginning, Yan Shaozhe would definitely have praised Kong Tianxu's ability to traverse the air a few more times, but now he no longer had that feeling.

Golden flames surged uncontrollably from his wounds and pores all over his body, completely engulfing his mangled form. These flames were incredibly hot, yet they did not bring destructive pain. Instead, they had a strange sense of purification, as if he were burning his own soul and body, trying to erase all traces of his existence from this world.

Yan Shaozhe was filled with regret. He knew that he had been arrogant and had seriously misjudged his opponent's strength and growth rate. If he had used his strongest skill immediately, he would never have suffered such a ridiculous defeat, unable to even release his Martial Soul True Body.

In just one year, Kong Tianxu actually grew to the level of a Super Douluo, and was even stronger than him.

This message must be sent back! Tell Elder Xuan, tell the Sea God Pavilion—

Just as his remaining consciousness was rapidly considering how to deal with Kong Tianxu if the academy were to face him again, a burning pain from the depths of his soul suddenly struck him!

The next moment, boundless fear completely overwhelmed him.

To his horror, he discovered that the Nirvana Flame burning on his body, which was supposed to bring about new life, was rapidly increasing in temperature and its color was changing from a brilliant gold to an eerie white-gold, beginning to burn his soul and even the very essence of his life from within.

Even the phantom of the radiant phoenix behind him struggled violently within the platinum flames, emitting mournful cries.

This is not a rebirth.

This is a true self-immolation leading to utter annihilation!

Kong Tianxu's indifferent voice came from a distance: "Dean Yan seems to enjoy playing with fire? In that case, let him burn as much as he wants."

The moment the Holy Flame Dragon Explosion struck Yan Shaozhe, the Heavenly Heart Sword had already quietly infiltrated and altered his control over the Phoenix Nirvana Power.

Heavenly Heart Sword Intent - Burn.

"Ughh ...

The intense pain, reaching the very core of his being scorched by the extreme heat of the fire—a heat capable of incinerating the very rules—contorted Yan Shaozhe's face instantly. His body went completely out of control, and he plummeted from the sky along with the burning golden phoenix phantom.

"I, Yan Shaozhe, am probably the most ridiculous dean of Shrek Academy ever to die—"

A self-deprecating groan escaped from his charred lips. His consciousness, like a candle flickering in the wind, rapidly blurred. Extreme pain intertwined with a strange warmth, and Yan Shaozhe truly saw a revolving lantern of light and shadow before his eyes.

Xianlin'er's anger, Fengling's infatuation, Cai Meier's gentleness —

Finally, in his chaotic mind, the image of the newly enrolled girl in the academy who possessed the Golden Dragon Martial Soul inexplicably flashed through his mind.

"The Silver Dragon Martial Soul—it's terrifyingly powerful—then Wang Qiu'er's Golden Dragon, wouldn't it be—"

It seems that fate has ultimately smiled upon Shrek Academy, bringing them an incredible enemy while also leaving them with a glimmer of hope.

Just as his soul's flame was about to be completely consumed, Kong Tianxu silently snapped his fingers.

It's time to wrap things up.

"Shao Zhe—my poor child."

A soft sigh, as if piercing through the long and distant past, gently resounded before the dying embers of the soul.

A vast, ocean-like aura of light flowed from the space beside Kong Tianxu. This light was different from Yan Shaozhe's fiery brilliance; it was gentler, like spring water, carrying an indescribable compassion and comfort.

With that sigh-like call, Yan Shaozhe felt himself suddenly fall into a warm embrace. The soft golden light, like a mother's hand, gently washed over his broken body and soul, bringing a long-lost coolness.

A breathtakingly beautiful face appeared before Yan Shaozhe, bathed in a divine light.

She radiated a soft, vibrant golden aura, appearing holy and pure like an angel from a dream. Her skin was almost translucent, her face exquisitely beautiful, with a faint smile, even a hint of compassion.

In Yan Shaozhe's blurred vision, the simple white dress accentuated her ethereal and otherworldly temperament, making her seem even more otherworldly, perfectly matching his most beautiful imagination of a mature woman.

More importantly, it was the pure, radiant aura of the phoenix that shared the same origin as him.

"Mother----?"

On the verge of death, feeling the warmth and protection of blood ties, and smelling the aroma of barbecue like a family dinner, Yan Shaozhe's scattered mind had a delusion stemming from the deepest instinct of life: this was the woman who could become his mother.

So, he subconsciously smiled and murmured, "Mom—Mom—"

"Pfft."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xishui reached out her slender, white hand and gently touched his skull, which was charred and cracked by the flames. She smiled, her beauty instantly captivating.

"Silly child, don't make your grandma laugh."

My... grandma?

The next moment, a scene that shocked Yan Shaozhe to his core appeared.

Black, black, black, black, black, red, red, red, red.

Five black and four red!

Nine soul rings, beyond the limits of ordinary imagination, appeared one by one behind Ye Xishui, and a golden phoenix light and shadow, exactly the same as Yan Shaozhe's, but clearly more agile and solid, slowly unfolded its wings.

Golden flames began to burn on Ye Xishui's body, causing nine soul rings beyond ordinary people's imagination to pulsate in circles like breathing.

Golden flames began to burn from her body, causing the nine soul rings to generate mysterious, breathing-like rhythms.

The flames then spread to Yan Shaozhe's body. As soon as the two seemingly identical golden flames came into contact, the out-of-control Phoenix Flame actually calmed down.

The golden phoenix, which had been burning fiercely, gradually stopped crying, folded its wings, and transformed into a warm and vibrant flame of rebirth, slowly repairing its broken body.

"You, you, you are—"

Yan Shaozhe felt the changes within his body and the terrifying, undeniable ratio of the soul rings. He was so shocked that he was speechless and could hardly utter a complete sentence.

This aura, this soul ring combination.

Limit Douluo!

The stunningly beautiful woman before him, who looked even younger and more radiant than himself, was actually a Limit Douluo standing at the pinnacle of the continent! Her martial soul was the Phoenix of Light, which shared the same origin as his own!

Ye Xishui glanced lovingly at Yan Shaozhe, whose body remained transparent. With a gentle lift of her hand, a jade bowl filled with clear water appeared out of thin air. Then, she carefully dripped some viscous liquid, shimmering with pale silver starlight, into the bowl, mixing it with the water.

Water and silver ink, these two things together have only one purpose—blood kinship testing.

She said it was her grandmother, could it be that—

Yan Shaozhe began to tremble violently and uncontrollably.

Ye Xishui remained silent, but took out a long needle, pricked her finger, and dripped a drop of blood into the bowl.

Her blood was a pale gold color, which looked quite peculiar. When it entered the dark silver water, it did not disperse but instead condensed into a single drop.

It floats in the pale silver water, appearing completely independent.

Then, with a light flick of her slender fingers, a drop of bright red blood from Yan Shaozhe's chest was drawn by an invisible force and fell into the bowl.

Two drops of blood also floated in the dark silver water, each independent, like two small ruby ​​beads.

The ink-silver water began to slosh gently, and two drops of blood slowly approached each other. Yan Shaozhe stared intently at the situation in the bowl. He knew very well that if the two drops of blood merged into one, it would prove that he and the woman in front of him were very close. Otherwise, the blood would remain separate, maintaining this distinct state and never mixing.

As the two drops of blood drew ever closer, Yan Shaozhe instinctively clenched his fists. He was a smart man; he naturally understood that Ye Xishui's insistence on a blood test was not without reason. But this was simply too unbelievable.

When did I, a Limit Douluo, suddenly have a grandmother at the Limit Douluo level?

However, the Radiant Phoenix Martial Soul, apart from its own lineage, has indeed not appeared on the continent for many years.

The two drops of blood finally came into contact. They touched tentatively at first, and then, like two soft little balls, bounced apart slightly. Between the two little balls that bounced apart, there was actually a strand of blood connecting them. In the next instant, the two blood beads had merged together at an astonishing speed, turning into a larger blood bead.

Ironclad evidence.

The mysterious and powerful figure before him was none other than his own flesh and blood.

But if she is his grandmother, then why did his father become an orphan? And who is his grandfather?

Yan Shaozhe was in turmoil, his mind reeling from countless questions and shocks. But the current situation was still clear: the priority was to eliminate Kong Tianxu, this deadly threat.

He had just managed to compose himself and was preparing to ask this suddenly appearing grandmother for help—

But Ye Xishui had already turned around and bowed slightly to Kong Tianxu, who had been standing quietly by, saying respectfully, "Master, Shao Zhe is young and impetuous and has offended you. I apologize on his behalf. Please forgive him this time."

Owner?!

Yan Shaozhe's mind went blank for a moment, completely confused, followed by boundless despair.

If it were just Ye Xishui alone, he could have used his Super Douluo cultivation to escape at his peak. But now, his soul power was nearly exhausted, he was critically injured and on the verge of death, and standing beside him was Kong Tianxu, who had just almost killed him instantly—

Today, he probably won't be able to go back.

Kong Tianxu, who had been keeping a low profile, finally spoke up leisurely: "Dean Yan, don't you find the name 'Xi Shui' familiar?"

Xishui?

Wait a minute—Xi Shui?!

The name struck him like lightning, cleaving through his chaotic memories, and a look of horror suddenly flashed in Yan Shaozhe's eyes.

Isn't this the name of Ye Xishui, the woman the teacher deeply loved back then, but who was painfully separated from him due to various reasons and ultimately fell into the path of an evil soul master?

Isn't she a demonic spirit master? Yet the powerful and pure aura of light surrounding her is undeniable.

Could it be that I am actually my teacher's child?! That's why my teacher has been so protective of me and treated me like their own son?

Countless past images flashed through Yan Shaozhe's mind: the complex look that Mu En occasionally gave him, his extraordinary patience and willingness to share everything he knew, and those moments when he seemed about to say something but couldn't—

All the clues seemed to connect at this moment, making him even more certain of his astonishing conjecture.

I had even lamented the fate of this ill-fated couple, only to find out that they were actually my grandparents.

"Xi Shui? You're Ye Xi Shui?" Yan Shaozhe asked hoarsely, his gaze fixed on Ye Xi Shui. "Ye—"

Grandma, please tell me! Whose child am I? What exactly happened?

Kong Tianxu's thoughts stirred slightly, and Ye Xishui's face showed a hint of struggle at the opportune moment.

"Sigh, it's about time."

"This story begins more than two hundred years ago. When I was six years old, I unfortunately awakened a half-evil martial spirit."

Ye Xishui's slightly sorrowful tone was full of the marks of time.

She recounted how, in her early years, due to a trace of corrupting nature hidden within her martial soul, she was hunted down as an evil soul master. By chance, she successfully joined a powerful evil soul master sect. Although she was now safe, she was forced by the sect's leader to truly become an evil soul master. She then maneuvered between Long Xiaoyao and Mu En, sowing discord and causing the brothers to turn against each other.

However, although she eventually broke free from the control of that powerful evil spirit master and even brought that evil spirit master's sect under her control, she fell in love with Long Xiaoyao in the process and gave birth to a child, who was Yan Shaozhe's father.

Yan Shaozhe's gaze had already glazed over, while Ye Xishui continued her narration: "You didn't expect this, did you? I knew you'd be surprised. In fact, I originally planned to never let you know that you have a grandmother who is an evil spirit master. I just hoped that you could live a healthy life, and that would be enough."

"Heh, after all, who would have thought that a Limit Douluo-level evil soul master would possess a second martial soul, the Phoenix of Light? I've always kept this martial soul hidden very, very deep. Because once I reveal this martial soul, those evil soul masters will not let you go, your future will be plunged into an abyss of no return, and I will truly and completely lose my mind."

"Therefore, I have kept my second martial soul a secret for two hundred years."

Throughout this process, Ye Xishui remained completely unguarded around Yan Shaozhe, so Yan Shaozhe could sense from Ye Xishui's intense mental fluctuations that her words were absolutely genuine.

Therefore, although Ye Xishui's version was different from the version he heard from Elder Xuan and other elders, he still subconsciously believed it.

After all, that was over two hundred years of forbearance! Putting himself in their shoes, Yan Shaozhe couldn't even imagine that pain.

"Grandma—" he said with great difficulty, "But why are you cultivating the Phoenix of Light again now? And have you reached such a profound level?"

"Because of Tianxu, our great master, the evil spirit masters."

Ye Xishui's eyes suddenly shone with an amazing light as she turned to Kong Tianxu, and even Yan Shaozhe couldn't help but look at the young man who was resting with his eyes closed not far away.

Meanwhile, Yan Shaozhe, completely absorbed in Ye Xishui's narration, did not notice at all that a blurry, ethereal figure quietly appeared behind him.

Then, Ye Xishui's first words made Yan Shaozhe lose his composure: "His martial soul ability can help evil soul masters completely purify the evil energy in their martial souls." The six wings of the Holy Spirit Demon Puppet shimmered with golden light, and along with Ye Xishui's peculiar voice, invisible black and white threads slowly began to weave.

"With Tianxu's help, I no longer had any worries. I not only began to cultivate the Radiant Phoenix Martial Soul, but also joined forces with your grandfather, Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao, to completely overthrow the original evil soul master sect."

"However, I underestimated the cunning of the evil spirit masters. They have already spread and branched out all over the continent."

To completely eradicate this persistent problem, Tianxu and I also founded the Holy Spirit Cult, an organization dedicated to purifying the forces of evil.

"Currently, we have discovered and dealt with many forces that harbor evil spirit masters, and the Xuanming Sect is one of them."

So that's how it is!

Yan Shaozhe suddenly understood, and a small black and white vortex swirled in each of his eyes, making him even more convinced of Ye Xishui's words.

No wonder the Xuanming Sect was destroyed by a Limit Douluo with the Light Attribute who suddenly appeared on the continent. No wonder the teacher was suddenly intercepted and surrounded by a group of evil soul masters when he returned. No wonder the Dragon Emperor Douluo, oh no, his grandfather, stood firmly on Kong Tianxu's side.

Yan Shaozhe was deep in thought, his brain racing at an unprecedented speed. However, Ye Xishui's next words caused him to freeze instantly: "Even within Shrek Academy, there are still remnants of this sect."

She paused, then said with absolute certainty, "It's inside the Sea God's Pavilion!"
