Douluo Continent II: The Dragon King Suppresses the World!

Chapter 14 Golden Dragon Shocks the Heavens

Zhou Yi proposed betting with her soul bone, seemingly willing to risk everything to compete with Mu Jin. How could Mu Jin not be surprised? Most importantly, she couldn't understand where Zhou Yi's confidence came from.

A disdainful glint appeared at the corner of Zhou Yi's mouth. "If you're scared, then stay away from me."

A fierce glint flashed in Mu Jin's eyes. "Fine, I'll bet with you. You think you can scare me off with empty threats? If I lose, I'll give you a soul bone. If you lose, you'll have Fan Yu forge a close-range soul tool for me."

Zhou Yi coldly said, "The one you're betting with is me, not him. Even if I lose, I'll still give you a soul bone."

Mu Jin snorted, "I don't want your soul bone, I just want Fan Yu to forge a close-range soul tool for me."

"Alright, I agree on her behalf." A deep voice rang out, and a tall figure appeared beside Zhou Yi without anyone noticing.

Upon seeing Fan Yu appear, Mu Jin's expression immediately changed. Her previous arrogant and provocative demeanor completely vanished, and her face turned somewhat pale. She took a slight step back, her eyes slightly red, and looked at Fan Yu, saying, "You and she teamed up to bully me."

Fan Yu's expression remained calm, but her brows furrowed slightly. "You were the one who started this trouble. If you want to gamble, then gamble; otherwise, don't bother Zhou Yi anymore. As for our relationship with you, we're just colleagues, nothing more."

"Bet, why not bet? Just because I lost to her doesn't mean my students will lose to hers." Mu Jin suddenly turned around, gripping the railing of the platform tightly with both hands, her gaze simultaneously turning to the competition area in the assessment zone.

At this moment, Ye Qi'an and Gu Yuena's attention was completely focused on their opponents. The three girls opposite them were all very pretty, and they were all wearing freshman school uniforms, but they paled in comparison to the girl next to Ye Qi'an.

The girl standing at the front was tall with short, blond hair that made her look very neat. Behind her, on the left, was a girl with short, fiery red hair, unusually red eyes, exquisite features, and fair, jade-like skin, but with a cold gaze.

The girl on the right is in stark contrast to the girl on the left, with long light green hair cascading down her back and gentle dark green eyes.

The proctor said, "Both sides, please announce your names upon entering the examination room."

Five people from each side walked into the spacious area at the same time and stood on either side of the area.

Ye Qi'an and Gu Yuena maintained their side-by-side formation, while the formation of the three girls opposite them changed. The blonde girl who had been standing at the front retreated to the back, and the other two girls stepped forward to block her.

The girl with short red hair proudly declared, "Class 9, Freshmen, Wu Feng. Level 25 Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master."

The girl with light green hair gave her a reproachful look. "Class 9, freshmen, Nanmen Yun'er, level 24 agility-attack type battle spirit master."

A calm voice came from behind the two girls, "Class 9, freshmen, Ning Tian, ​​level 31 auxiliary-type weapon spirit master."

"Do you know why other teams have three people per group, but our team only has two?" Ye Qi'an looked at the other side, shook his head and said.

"I don't know," Gu Yuena said softly. "Perhaps it's because we're strong enough that we don't need a third person."

Ye Qi'an smiled and said, "That's right. Let's finish this quickly. Ye Qi'an, Class 1, Level 29, Power Attack Type Battle Soul Master."

"Class 1, freshmen, Gu Yuena, level 29, control-type battle spirit master." Gu Yuena abandoned her usual calm and looked at the three of them with an unfriendly expression.

Just then, the proctor shouted, "The competition begins!"

Wu Feng also let out a delicate shout, her slender body suddenly springing up, a surge of intense heat erupting from her, accompanied by a soft dragon's roar. Suddenly, Wu Feng's body grew longer and longer, tearing her school uniform and revealing her undergarments.

A faint red glow shimmered on Wu Feng's skin. Starting from the left side of his face, a layer of fine dragon scales covered his face, extending down his neck, along his shoulder, and down to his entire left arm and left hand.

The red dragon, imbued with the powerful aura of a top-tier martial soul, instantly unleashed two yellow soul rings from beneath its feet.

"Is that all? Martial Soul Possession!"

As soon as he finished speaking, golden, diamond-shaped scales appeared on Ye Qi'an's body, shimmering like a dazzling golden armor. A pair of golden dragon horns instantly sprouted from his head, his arms were completely covered in golden scales, and a pair of enormous golden dragon wings grew from his back. With a gentle flap, a gale howled, and even his eyes transformed into majestic dragon pupils. Two crimson-gold soul rings silently circled in front of him, emanating a powerful aura that sent chills down one's spine.

"As long as you have a beast spirit, you will be suppressed by me. What's more, you have a dragon spirit. How much fighting power do you still have against me?" Ye Qi'an said calmly.

Feeling the absolute suppression from the superior martial spirit, Wu Feng barely managed to move and was in front of Ye Qi'an in a flash. He swept his left arm and struck Ye Qi'an's body.

Faced with Wu Feng's overwhelming power, Ye Qi'an merely glanced at him disdainfully, and his dragon-transformed left arm also swung out.

"Bang!" The two arms collided violently, and the powerful impact caused ripples in the surrounding air.

Wu Feng felt a tremendous force come from him, and his body involuntarily retreated more than ten meters, his arm going numb.

Ye Qi'an remained unmoved, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "With this little strength, you dare to provoke others?"

Wu Feng gritted his teeth and charged forward again, the flames on his body burning even more fiercely.

At that moment, Nanmen Yun'er also moved. When she activated her power, her body was light and airy, as if she were not under any force. It seemed that she only flashed and covered a distance of dozens of meters, arriving in front of Gu Yuena. At the same time, her hands turned into emerald green, as if they were carved from jade, and directly slapped towards Gu Yuena's face.

At the same time, Ning Tian, ​​who was standing at a distance, stretched out her right hand and shouted, "Seven treasures turn out with glazed glass."

Her body spun gracefully once, and a dazzling seven-colored light was released from her body. At the point where the seven-colored light gathered, a seven-colored pagoda more than a foot tall appeared in Ning Tian's right palm. As soon as it appeared, it attracted the attention of everyone on the viewing platform.

Two yellow and one purple soul rings rose from Ning Tian's palm, rhythmically circling the seven-tiered pagoda in her hand. "The seven treasures have names, the first being: Speed."

The first spirit ring lit up, and the rich yellow light made the pagoda even more magnificent. Two dazzling beams of light shot out from the pagoda and landed on Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er respectively. The situation changed abruptly as the two beams of light shone on Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er.

Nanmen Yun'er's palms, which were originally aimed at Gu Yuena, suddenly increased in speed, even leaving a series of afterimages in the air.

"Oh, you want to attack me too? Ice Wall." Gu Yuena said, and silvery-white scales immediately adhered to her body, and a pair of silvery-white dragon wings slowly unfolded.

A chill emanated from Gu Yuena's body, instantly forming an ice wall in front of her to block Nanmen Yun'er's rapidly approaching palms.

"Bang!"

Only a few cracks remained on the ice wall. Nanmen Yun'er was knocked back a few steps by the recoil. Gu Yuena also felt the same martial soul suppression as Ye Qi'an.

Nanmen Yun'er steadied herself, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination. With a delicate shout, she charged towards Gu Yuena again, her speed even faster than before.

Gu Yuena snorted coldly, "Haven't you felt the difference yet?" As she spoke, ice spikes shot towards Nanmen Yun'er.

Nanmen Yun'er moved nimbly, dodging the ice spikes, but it was clear that even with the amplification of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, she was still struggling.

Meanwhile, with Ning Tian's assistance, Wu Feng's offensive became increasingly fierce. He barely managed to withstand the pressure from Ye Qi'an's martial soul and also unleashed his first soul skill, Dragon Fire.

A thick layer of red flames emerged from her body, swirling around her within a foot of her body. Each of her attacks was accompanied by the high temperature of this dragon fire, but for Ye Qi'an, this temperature was so low that he wouldn't even need to cook a dish.

Mu Jin muttered to herself in disbelief, "This...how is this possible? What are they doing? With the speed boost from the Soul Venerable-level Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, their speed should increase by forty percent! That's at least equivalent to the Soul Venerable level, how could they not defeat their opponent?"

"Alright, I'm tired of playing. You guys can leave now."

Ye Qi'an took a deep breath, and his eyes suddenly shone brightly. The golden light that had been faintly visible around his body suddenly became stronger, and a deep dragon roar, like thunder, rang out from around his body, gradually becoming louder!

Golden energy swirled around and emerged, followed by the appearance of a massive golden dragon head. Its palms turned upwards, and its dragon roar grew increasingly intense. Centered on its body, the surrounding air currents became extremely violent, making it almost instantly the most dazzling presence in all sixteen arenas of the competition.

On the viewing platform, even the teachers who hadn't been paying attention to their match immediately turned their gaze to the golden dragon head.

At this moment, Ye Qi'an's Golden Dragon King's blood and qi power had reached its peak. He thrust his hands out in front of his chest, and a rousing dragon roar accompanied the golden dragon's head.

"The Golden Dragon Shocks the Heavens!"

As the dragon's head emerged, the aura of Ye Qi'an's own bloodline turned an area within a five-meter diameter into a golden hue.

Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er felt an irresistible, powerful force rushing towards them, and their faces instantly turned pale. Ning Tian also paled, and it was too late to strengthen their support.

With a loud bang, Wu Feng, Nanmen Yun'er, and Ning Tian were sent flying like kites with broken strings, crashing heavily to the ground.

The proctors were somewhat stunned, and it was only after Ye Qi'an reminded them that they announced that they had won the competition.

On the viewing platform, Mu Jin was completely stunned; she couldn't even believe her eyes. Two Great Soul Masters and one Soul Venerable, especially the Soul Venerable of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, known as the number one support-type weapon spirit in the world, had actually lost, and been defeated in a crushing manner.

A smile appeared in Fan Yu's eyes as he said to Zhou Yi, "A self-created soul skill is indeed extraordinary."

Zhou Yi's eyes were filled with relief. "Let's go." As she spoke, she took the lead and walked towards the steps of the high platform. When she passed by Mu Jin, she gave her a cold look but did not say anything. Then she jumped off the twenty-meter-high platform.

Fan Yu didn't even glance at Mu Jin before gracefully landing and following Zhou Yi.

"Is this the soul skill you've developed over this period of time?" Gu Yuena asked Ye Qi'an as they left the assessment area.

Ye Qi'an smiled slightly and said, "How is it? Not bad, right? I put in a lot of effort to master it."

Gu Yuena nodded, her eyes filled with admiration: "Indeed very strong. The power of that move just now was enough to leave the opponent with no chance to fight back."

Ye Qi'an looked up at the sky and sighed, "This is just the beginning. I will make it even more powerful in the future."

Gu Yuena chuckled and said, "Then I'll have to wait and see."

.........

Fortunately, the freshman elimination rounds were held separately, with fewer spectators, so Ye Qi'an and Gu Yuena did not receive much attention and successfully entered the top sixteen.

After the match, Ye Qi'an and Gu Yuena returned to their dormitory. They washed themselves and changed into clean clothes.

"I feel like it won't be long before I'm facing the third seal," Ye Qi'an suddenly said.

Gu Yuena was slightly taken aback. "So fast? But given your current rate of improvement, it's not surprising. With the assistance of the Dragon God's power, I think you shouldn't have any problems facing the third seal."

Ye Qi'an nodded, his expression solemn. "I understand, but no matter what, I must be fully prepared."

"Alright, let's begin our cultivation." Gu Yuena nodded and sat cross-legged on the bed.

Ye Qi'an also raised his hands, pressing his palms together, and their soul power transformed into the power of the Dragon God, rapidly circulating within their bodies.

As the power of the Dragon God continued to circulate within their bodies, the fluctuations of soul power in the room gradually intensified. Ye Qi'an and Gu Yuena's auras became increasingly calm, and their faces were enveloped in a faint light.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Qi'an slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them. He felt his physical body growing stronger and was filled with anticipation for the upcoming third seal challenge.

Gu Yuena had also finished her cultivation. She looked at Ye Qi'an and smiled slightly, saying, "This cultivation session was quite effective. How did you feel?"

Ye Qi'an stood up and stretched his limbs. "I feel that my physical strength has improved a bit. I believe I will have a better chance of facing the third seal. By the way, Nana, I have an idea now."

Gu Yuena asked curiously, "What's your idea? Tell me about it."

Ye Qi'an's eyes flickered as he said, "I'm wondering, my self-created soul skill is called Golden Dragon Shocks the Heavens, but if I add some of your blood and qi power, how powerful would Golden Dragon Shock the Heavens be?"

Gu Yuena pondered for a moment and said, "This might be a worthwhile idea, but the most crucial issue is that our blood and qi must be equal. Otherwise, if one side is stronger than the other, their blood and qi will clash."

Ye Qi'an frowned, pondering for a moment before saying, "This is indeed a difficult problem, but if we can find a balanced approach, perhaps we can successfully integrate them. What do you think about starting by trying to control the amount of output?"

Gu Yuena nodded gently: "We can try it, gradually increasing the degree of fusion and observing the effect."
