Douluo Continent: The Time-Stopping Evil Dragon, They All Want to Tame Me

Chapter 104

Brothers are always on your side, but you're outsmarting them!

After this reminder, everyone present clearly remembered the Heavenly Dou Empire's intentions.

"Your Majesty, I suggest that we postpone our advance under the pretext of insufficient supplies and ask the Heavenly Dou Empire to provide us with supplies."

"That makes sense, that makes sense. Judging from the current military deployment of the Spirit Empire, their target is definitely the Heaven Dou Empire. As for our Star Luo Empire, it's most likely a standoff without attack!"

"After all, our Star Luo Empire relies on the Central Mountain Range and has built countless formidable passes. The Spirit Hall would have to pay an extremely high price to breach them. In contrast, the Heaven Dou Empire's flat terrain allows them to advance unimpeded!"

"Since the Heavenly Dou Empire wants to take advantage, then don't blame us for demanding an exorbitant price!"

After some discussion, the order was issued from the Star Luo Imperial Palace toward the border.

But just as the ministers were preparing to leave the court, a loud explosion was heard outside the palace.

Amidst billowing smoke and dust, the palace walls were instantly shattered by a series of explosions, like porcelain being smashed by a giant hammer, with bricks and stones flying everywhere.

Amidst the deafening roar, the panicked guards brandished their weapons, trying to find the cause, but they could not stop the flying debris and billowing smoke.

Inside the imperial city, the glazed tiles of the palace fell like raindrops from the shock of the explosion, crashing to the ground with a crisp shattering sound.

The military officers remained calm, but the civil officials fled in all directions like frightened birds, their screams and cries for help creating a scene of utter devastation.

"What happened?"

"What on earth happened?!"

Davis remained remarkably calm, for his father sat upon the golden throne in the great hall, observing everything.

"Report—"

"An attack has been launched on the inner city of the royal palace!"

"Who dares to be so bold? Where are the Imperial Guards?!"

At his command, hundreds of meters of soul power emanated from the Soul Masters, ranging from Soul Kings to Soul Emperors, and were divided into ten small teams, each led by a Soul Saint, quickly assembling the Star Luo Empire's Imperial Guards.

"Prepare for battle!!!"

Davis activated his six spirit rings!

He is already a level 68 Soul Emperor, and with a maximum of one more year of cultivation, he will be able to become a Soul Saint.

"Who on earth is so tired of living? Don't they know that the Imperial Guard of my Star Luo Empire are all warriors who have fought on the battlefield?"

Although the average strength of the Imperial Guards did not reach the level of Soul Saints or Soul Douluos.

However, thanks to the battle formations that the Star Luo Empire had developed in battle, as well as the combination of various martial soul masters, these hundreds of soul masters were able to withstand the attacks of ordinary titled Douluo, and even use the variety of battle formations to snipe titled Douluo powerhouses!

"What's going on? Why haven't they arrived yet?" Davis stood there for a while, but the enemies who had invaded the palace did not appear.

"People of the Spirit Empire, stop hiding yourselves!"

"What, you have the guts to launch a sneak attack, but not the guts to stand up openly?"

"Hahaha, very well, since you have sincerely begged me, I will mercifully grant you my wish." Suddenly, a high-pitched roar rang out, and then, at the junction of the imperial city walls and the horizon in the distance, a huge evil dragon flapped its wings and appeared in the eyes of everyone in the Star Luo Empire.

"this"

"Is this an evil dragon?"

Davis's eyes were filled with shock.

In recent years, rumors about evil dragons have circulated more than once in the Douluo Continent.

However, most of the events took place within the Heavenly Dou Empire, and almost no one in the Star Luo Empire had ever seen the true appearance of the evil dragon.

The thought of Xue Qinghe, the crown prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire, being kidnapped by the evil dragon made a hint of fear flash in Davis's eyes.

He stared blankly at the dragon.

Its body is like a cast-in-the-walls of bronze and iron, with hard scales arranged like armor, reflecting a dazzling light.

The dragon raised its head high, its two piercing red eyes seemingly able to see through everything in the world, its gaze revealing coldness and majesty.

Its mouth was slightly open, revealing gleaming white teeth, exuding a terrifying aura of death.

A pair of enormous wings are pressed tightly against its broad back, and even when it is still, one can feel the howling of the wind and the oppressive force.

Its limbs are strong and powerful, each muscle like the gnarled roots of an ancient tree, and its black claws are incredibly sharp, as if they could tear apart any enemy who dares to challenge it.

Its tail is long and heavy, swaying gently with the rhythm of its breathing. When it swings in the air, the sound is like a war drum, which is awe-inspiring.

The surrounding air became scorching hot because of its presence.

"Aww————"

The dragon roared, and the entire imperial city trembled. Everyone almost unconsciously submitted to this terrifying pressure, including the emperor of the Star Luo Empire.

Don't be so nervous.

"This time, I'm not here to see you."

Ao Xing glanced at Davis, who was retreating, with disdain in his eyes, and then activated his mental power to sense his surroundings.

Soon, his eyes lit up, and he flew towards the northwest. Then, with a gentle wave of his dragon claw, he flattened the top of a building.

"Bamboo Cloud!!"

"Princess!!!"

Seeing the evil dragon easily capture Zhu Zhuyun, the people of the Star Luo Empire cried out in panic, but no one came out to stop Ao Xing.

They're not stupid.

The dragon before them appeared to be in its youth, if not yet mature.

Even if all of them were put together, they wouldn't be a match for the other side.

Going up there would be nothing but suicide!

At the same time, Ao Xing activated time stop, and in an instant, this area of ​​the world was frozen in time.

He began to scrutinize Zhu Zhuyun closely.

Like Zhu Zhuqing, she possessed an extraordinary temperament. Even though her frozen expression showed some panic, it still revealed her noble indifference.

Her figure was as graceful as bamboo in a secluded valley, slender and upright, yet bearing abundant fruit.

Her clothes were adorned with faint cloud patterns, making her appear as ethereal as a fairy from the clouds.

She wore a light blue dress, the hem of which danced in the wind, like a clear spring sparkling in the sunlight.

A thin silver belt was tied around her waist, inlaid with several crystal-clear sapphires, like stars in the deep sea, radiating a mysterious and enchanting light.

Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, each strand seemingly imbued with the freshness of lake water and the softness of clouds.

Zhu Zhuyun's skin was as white as snow, revealing an ethereal beauty.

A few wisps of hair fell gently across her forehead, adding a touch of playfulness and tenderness.

Her lips were naturally red, like cherry blossoms in full bloom, captivating all who saw them.

Her nose is straight yet graceful, complementing her delicate chin and creating a perfect face.

A pair of small pearl earrings dangled gently from her earlobes, exuding a warm luster that made the whole outfit more exquisite and harmonious.

Although Zhu Zhuyun's attire was gorgeous, she was not vulgar at all. Her temperament was like a gentle breeze in the mountains or a secluded orchid in a bamboo forest at midnight, quiet and profound.

Of course, the most important thing is to carry the charm of a wife.

"Okay, okay."

"I don't care about you either, you still have your charm!"

"Indeed, women of this age are the most alluring."

Ao Xing nodded with great satisfaction.

Zhu Zhuyun bears a striking resemblance to Zhu Zhuqing, with about 70% similarity.

However, the two are not cut from the same mold.

Zhu Zhuqing, just like her martial spirit, is like a mischievous black cat, proud and aloof yet playful.

Zhu Zhuyun, on the other hand, possesses a greater allure and maturity.

"Zhu Zhuyun has been captured. Next, we should head to Tianshui Academy." Ao Xing did not take out the Illusion Dragon.

Because his purpose in coming to the Star Luo Empire was very simple: to kidnap Zhu Zhuyun.

"Qian Renxue, Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Zhuyun, Ning Rongrong."

"Except for Xue Ke, who is already dead, I have gathered all four of the original mission members."

"The next step should be to expand the concubine team."

After the second advancement was completed, the system immediately issued the task for the third advancement.

The task description is simple:

"To become a true dragon."

There was nothing else besides that sentence.

Therefore, on his journey from Wuhun City to Xingluo City, whenever Ao Xing saw a city guarded by the Xingluo Empire's army, he would directly destroy it with dragon flames.

Upon arriving in Xingluo City, they immediately abducted Zhu Zhuqing.

The purpose of doing all this is simply to become a true dragon as soon as possible.

"I was too kind in the past."

"My current dragon value is only 347 points."

"We need to accumulate 777 points before we can unlock the third stage of evolution."

"Well, I guess I'll just have to keep trying."

……

Tianshui Academy is located in the southeastern part of the Tiandou Empire.

The academy was established near Lake Bisang, the second largest lake in the Tiandou Empire.

The college is situated on the shore of Bibo Lake, where it is surrounded by lush bamboo groves and green mountains, resembling a dazzling sapphire set among the mountains.

Tianshui College takes water as its core element, and its architectural style combines ancient stone bridges and pavilions with modern streamlined design, showcasing a unique exotic style.

As you approach the college gate, the first thing you see is two huge waterwheels, slowly rotating and carrying the lake water to higher ground, then flowing through every corner of the campus via ingeniously designed pipes.

Beside the waterwheel, students dressed in school uniforms with light blue as the main color were either engrossed in studying or playing around. Their smiles and the sunlight reflected on the lake surface complemented each other, full of vitality.

The library is situated on a peninsula, surrounded by water on all sides, and can only be reached by a narrow wooden bridge. Fish leap and lotus flowers sway gently on the lake beside it.

At the heart of the academy lies a vast expanse of water, its crystal-clear surface occasionally punctuated by skimming waterfowl that create ripples. In the center of the lake sits a small island with a strangely shaped fountain. The water jets undulate and shift with different magical fluctuations, as if composing a silent symphony.

On the other side of the lake, there is a meticulously maintained flowerbed where various exotic flowers bloom in competition, releasing their enchanting fragrance.

In a more distant corner, some students were conducting practical exercises in elemental magic, with water arrows shooting out and waves rolling, a scene that was both dangerous and exciting.

As an academy composed entirely of female students.

Tianshui Academy is naturally equipped with a full range of defensive structures and mechanisms.

However, this posed no threat to Ao Xing.

Eight years have passed since the last All-Continent Elite Soul Master Tournament.

Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and other students who participated in the Soul Master Competition back then have now become teachers at the school.

At this moment, they are teaching cultivation techniques to the newly enrolled students.

"The cultivation of a Soul Master is an extremely important process before the age of eighteen. It is no exaggeration to say that the results before the age of eighteen determine the future achievements."

As for cultivation levels, level thirty is a threshold that represents a chasm between extremes. If one can cross this threshold before the age of eighteen, then their future prospects will be limitless.

However, if one fails to cross this threshold before the age of eighteen, it will be very difficult to do so in the future unless a miracle occurs or one obtains rare and precious materials.

Youth is an advantage; youth is the source of potential.

You must take advantage of your youth and work hard to cultivate your skills!

There are no shortcuts to cultivating soul power; one can only increase it by circulating one's own soul power through meditation.

While external facilities are not the decisive factor in the cultivation of Soul Masters, they do play an indispensable supporting role.

Among them, the most important is the training ground for mimicking the forms of Soul Masters of various attributes.

The so-called simulated training ground refers to an environment that allows Soul Masters to cultivate their Martial Soul in a way that best suits them. While this may not be the most efficient method, it can certainly provide significant support.

"Our Tianshui Academy is built on Bisang Lake and has several simulated training rooms. As long as everyone is willing to train, their strength will definitely improve rapidly."

Shui Bing'er was earnestly imparting her experience to the students who looked somewhat naive and had just awakened their martial spirits.

Ao Xing was able to recognize her because next to her sat Shui Yue'er, who had a serious expression but looked about 80% similar to her.

"Ahem, may I interrupt for a moment?"

A man's voice suddenly appeared in the all-female Tianshui Academy, and Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er were immediately on high alert.

At the same time, several older teachers deep inside the academy seemed to have sensed something and rushed out one after another.

"Who are you? Don't you know this is Tianshui Academy?"

"Leave quickly."

"Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite."

"Tianshui Academy." Ao Xing's lips curled up. "I came here for Tianshui Academy, and since I'm not wrong, I certainly can't leave."

"Who are you! What are you doing here!"

Shuiyue'er continued to question.

"My name is Ao Xing."

"You might not be familiar with this name, but if I were to say 'evil dragon,' you've all heard of me."

A dragon!?

The expressions of the teachers at Tianshui College suddenly changed.

Ao Xing, on the other hand, cheerfully transformed from human form into dragon form.

In an instant, a ferocious dragon the size of Xiaoshan appeared before everyone.

The students, who had just enrolled, were all terrified and burst into tears.

The teachers at the academy also looked utterly defeated and were trembling all over.

The dean of Tianshui Academy had just broken through to the Title Douluo realm last year, but when faced with the evil dragon, her strength was simply not enough!
