Douluo Continent II: The Dragon King Suppresses the World!

Chapter 1 The Dragon God’s Entrustment

"Boy, the Golden Dragon King's bloodline power and divine core are now entrusted to you. You must make good use of them. To ensure your safety, I have placed ten seals within your body. Each time you break a seal, your strength will increase dramatically, but each breakthrough requires the assistance of spiritual objects. It will be extremely difficult if you rely solely on yourself!" said a dark, illusory figure.

"Can you tell me who you are? And why did I come to this world?" Ye Qi'an asked, staring at the illusory figure in front of him, his face full of confusion.

"Remember my name, I am the Dragon God. As for why you are here, I do not know, but I believe you are capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility of reviving the soul beasts. By the way, the Silver Dragon King is also in this world. If you encounter difficulties, you can ask her for help. As for her injuries, I will give you the Dragon God Core as compensation." As soon as the Dragon God finished speaking, a palm-sized gold and silver core merged directly with Ye Qi'an.

"Lord Dragon God, are you sure that I possess the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King and that the Silver Dragon King won't devour me? According to my memory, there's a very high chance she'll devour me. Given that I haven't even awakened my Martial Soul yet, wouldn't going there be tantamount to suicide?" Ye Qi'an frowned and said with a helpless expression.

"No, even if she devours you, she cannot become a true Dragon God. Only when your hearts are connected and you are combined with the Dragon God Core can you become a new Dragon God," the Dragon God explained.

"Lord Dragon God, is the Silver Dragon King aware of your scheme?" Ye Qi'an stared directly at the Dragon God before him.

"You've seen it. My intention was to bring you together and make you the kings who rule over all the soul beasts. The Silver Dragon King alone is not enough to win the hearts and minds of the entire soul beast race. Your appearance is just the right thing to break this deadlock."

"Alright, alright, I agree. May I ask how you are doing now?" Ye Qi'an asked.

"I'm just a remnant soul. After explaining all this, I'm going to completely dissipate. Kid, it's time for you to wake up."

…………

"Huff... huff huff..." Ye Qi'an wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and muttered to himself, "The task is arduous and the road is long. How can I persuade the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena to save my own life? Forget it, I haven't even awakened my martial soul yet, and she can't detect me. Simply hiding isn't a good strategy. The Dragon God said that I need a lot of spiritual items to break the seal, but now even one kind of spiritual item is hard to come by."

Ye Qi'an has been in Douluo Continent for five years. Since he can remember, he has been all alone, growing up on the charity of the villagers, who have taken good care of him.

"Xiao An, dinner's ready." An old voice called out.

"Grandpa Village Chief, I'm coming right now." Ye Qi'an quickly tidied up and walked out of the room.

"Xiao An, eat quickly. You will awaken your martial soul tomorrow. You will definitely become a soul master." The village chief stretched out his withered hand and gently stroked Ye Qi'an's head.

"Thank you, Grandpa Village Chief," Ye Qi'an replied while eating.

In the blink of an eye, a day had passed, and the moment to awaken one's martial soul arrived. Ye Qi'an arrived early at the town outside the village. By this time, the Martial Soul Hall no longer existed, and no one would awaken a martial soul for the poor free of charge.

"Though it's ten thousand years late, it's not too late. God Realm, I will bring you down sooner or later!" Ye Qi'an thought as he walked towards the place where he awakened his martial soul.

After paying the fee for awakening his martial soul, Ye Qi'an was soon greeted by the person in charge of awakening his martial soul. The person was a woman whose martial soul was Green Vine.

"My name is Liu Qingyu, a level 29 Great Soul Master, my Martial Soul is Green Vine. I will awaken your Martial Soul." Liu Qingyu introduced herself to Ye Qi'an.

Ye Qi'an stood before the six black stones, waiting to awaken. With the infusion of Liu Qingyu's soul power, he felt as if he were in a warm ocean, and some kind of power was bursting forth from his body.

Roar—roar—the roars of dragons echoed continuously, and a giant golden dragon appeared behind Ye Qi'an.

"Beast Martial Soul, judging from its appearance, let's call it the Golden Dragon for now. Judging from its imposing presence, it should possess soul power." Liu Qingyu said, looking at the golden dragon behind Ye Qi'an, and then took out a crystal ball for testing soul power for Ye Qi'an to test.

Upon seeing this, Ye Qi'an placed his hand on the crystal ball. In an instant, the crystal ball shone brightly in his hand, its light dazzling even in broad daylight.

"First... innate full soul power!!!" Liu Qingyu said, looking at Ye Qi'an in astonishment.

"What is innate full soul power?" Ye Qi'an asked, feigning ignorance. After all, he was only a six-year-old child, and doing something inappropriate for his status might cause trouble.

"Having innate full soul power is a starting point far higher than others, and it is the ticket to becoming a Title Douluo. Those who possess innate full soul power usually have excellent aptitude," Liu Qingyu explained earnestly.

"Ye Qi'an, would you like to join the Star Luo Empire? If you become a Soul Master of the Star Luo Empire, we can issue you a letter of recommendation. With this letter, you can directly enter Shrek Academy to study." Liu Qingyu patted Ye Qi'an on the shoulder and said.

"Okay," Ye Qi'an nodded in agreement.

"Alright, I'll report your information immediately. Someone will deliver the letter of recommendation to your village in a week." Liu Qingyu said as she went to record Ye Qi'an's personal information.

Ye Qi'an returned to the village to await the letter of recommendation. Under the cover of night, he went to the mountains. Since he could unlock one seal every ten levels, he would not dare to break through rashly if he had not reached the full innate soul power. He had to rely on spiritual objects. Now it seemed that he could break through without the assistance of spiritual objects.

Finding a flat spot, Ye Qi'an sat cross-legged, circulating his soul power in preparation to break through the first layer of seal. As his soul power continued to surge, the first layer of seal was broken, and the bloodline power of the Golden Dragon King filled his body.

Ye Qi'an felt the changes in his body, followed by intense pain: "I've gone too far. Am I going to end before I even started?"

"Sigh, you really don't give me any peace of mind. Remember, if you don't have enough strength in the future, you must rely on spiritual objects to break through." The illusory figure of the Dragon God sighed softly, preparing to lend Ye Qi'an a helping hand.

With the help of the Dragon God, Ye Qi'an's condition gradually stabilized. The essence of the Golden Dragon King in the first layer of the seal merged with him. Because the essence of the first layer of the seal was less, the essence of each subsequent layer of the seal was a geometric multiple of the previous one. Ye Qi'an, who broke through the first layer of the seal, immediately fainted.

Lake of Life.

A silver dragon leaped out of the lake, breaking its tranquility. As the dragon appeared, a black-haired man in his twenties or thirties with a cold expression appeared on the lakeside.

"Di Tian, ​​he has appeared." The girl, who had transformed from a silver dragon into human form, gazed into the distance.

"I never expected that the Golden Dragon King would also come to Douluo Continent. However, he is far less powerful than before and is now quite weak. Moreover, he is still a human." said Di Tian, ​​the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King.

"Wrong, the Golden Dragon King's cultivation has been sealed. That person just now only broke the first layer of the seal, and I feel that the seal is extremely familiar, as if it was made by the Dragon God." The Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, shook her head and said.

"My lord, wasn't the Dragon God cleaved in two by the Asura God? How could he appear in Douluo Continent?" Di Tian asked, full of doubt.

"As expected of the Dragon God, he actually had a backup plan. The person chosen by the Dragon God is definitely not simple. Let's see what this person is capable of." Although Gu Yuena was delighted, she still calmed herself down and said.

"My lord, should we take him back to the Star Dou Great Forest?" Di Tian asked.

"No need. After breaking through the first seal, he already possesses a spirit ring. If he wants to break through the seal again, he will inevitably come to the Star Dou Great Forest to seek spiritual objects to assist in breaking through the seal. We will bring him then. If we want to contend with the God Realm, the power of the Golden Dragon King is indispensable. He once reached the God King realm, and even I would probably find it difficult to match him in his prime. What we need to do now is to provide him with better resources and give him time to grow. Besides, I also plan to be born soon." After explaining the matter, Gu Yuena returned to the Lake of Life to recuperate.

"Yes, my lord," Di Tian replied respectfully.

...............

"It hurts so much. Breaking through without the help of spiritual objects is indeed extremely difficult. It seems I have to keep searching for those spiritual objects, otherwise my life may be in danger next time. However, the problem is that, apart from robbing the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, it is really hard for me to find any useful spiritual objects now."

Upon waking, Ye Qi'an couldn't help but lament how difficult it was to absorb the essence of the Golden Dragon King, while also planning for his own future.

"When the seal was broken just now, the power of the Golden Dragon King's blood and qi formed an effect similar to a soul ring. Let me try it out. Martial Soul - Possession!" As soon as he finished speaking, a golden dragon appeared behind Ye Qi'an, and golden rhomboid scales also appeared on his body.

"The crimson-gold spirit ring is a unique spirit ring formed from the blood and qi of the Golden Dragon King. Its first spirit skill is the Golden Dragon Body!"

After Ye Qi'an unleashed his first soul skill, his body was instantly enveloped in a layer of dazzling golden light, his muscle lines became even tighter, and his sense of power exploded.

"Is this the power bestowed by the Golden Dragon King Martial Soul? Attack, speed, strength, and defense have all been enhanced; it's truly powerful." Ye Qi'an felt the changes in his body and couldn't contain his excitement.

In the days that followed, Ye Qi'an knew he bore a heavy responsibility and dared not slack off for a moment. With the talent of the Golden Dragon King Martial Soul and his own hard work, his strength steadily improved.

Over the years, Ye Qi'an cultivated his soul power while honing his personal qualities. Time flew by, and Ye Qi'an celebrated his eleventh birthday. At this time, he was tall and slender, with a resolute gaze, and exuded a mature aura far beyond his peers.

As he grew older, Ye Qi'an became more and more proficient in controlling the power of the Golden Dragon King. He continued to explore the mysteries of the martial soul, trying to bring the power of the Golden Dragon King to its fullest potential.

Even now, Ye Qi'an intends to risk breaking through to the Great Soul Master realm without any spiritual objects before leaving. He returns to the mountains, finds a quiet place, and begins his breakthrough.

During the breakthrough, Ye Qi'an endured unprecedented pressure. The sealing power of the Golden Dragon King stubbornly resisted the impact of his soul power, causing him unbearable pain.

Ye Qi'an gritted his teeth and exerted all his soul power. Just when he was about to give up, the Dragon God Core in his body suddenly released an energy fluctuation, helping him break through the seal.

"Success! It seems that my efforts over the past few days have not been in vain. Even without spiritual objects, I can still break through the seal! My second soul skill, Golden Dragon Overlord Body, can triple my defense, absorb the attacks of others, and enhance my next attack." Ye Qi'an said with a long sigh, as two crimson-gold soul rings quietly circled around him.

"Judging by the time, it's about time I reported to Shrek Academy."

Ye Qi'an packed his bags and embarked on his journey to Shrek Academy. Along the way, he had mixed feelings, filled with both anticipation for the future and a little nervousness.

She was nervous because she was afraid that she would be noticed by the Star Dou Great Forest before she even arrived at Shrek Academy. Little did she know that at that very moment, a silver-haired girl was also setting off from the Star Dou Great Forest.

Shrek Academy is built on the Lima Plain and covers a vast area. It is a city in itself, hence the name Shrek City. The south, west, and north gates of Shrek City can be entered and exited at will, but the east gate is exclusively for Shrek Academy. After asking for directions, Ye Qi'an went straight to the east gate.

At the east gate, there were more than a dozen young students from Shrek Academy guarding the area. Each of them was dressed in a yellow outfit with a green pattern on their chest.
