Douluo Continent II: The Dragon King Suppresses the World!

Chapter 8 Unlucky Kid

At this moment, Xu Sanshi had already released his martial spirit. Seeing that Ye Qi'an remained unmoved, he assumed he was afraid and couldn't help but sneer, "Why haven't you released your martial spirit yet? Are you scared? If you're scared, then hurry up and get down!"

Ye Qi'an remained calm and unaffected by Xu Sanshi's release of his martial spirit. He crossed his arms and said indifferently, "There's no need to rush to deal with you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Sanshi's eyes widened in anger. He roared and charged towards Ye Qi'an, wielding his tortoise-shell shield.

Ye Qi'an sidestepped, easily avoiding Xu Sanshi's fierce attack.

Xu Sanshi missed his attack and turned to pounce on Ye Qi'an again, his shield swung with powerful gusts of wind.

Ye Qi'an moved nimbly, dodging Xu Sanshi's attacks as if he were strolling in a garden, always managing to dodge them perfectly.

"Kid, don't hide if you've got the guts!" Xu Sanshi roared.

Ye Qi'an smiled slightly: "What's the rush? Here it comes, Martial Soul Possession!" After saying that, a flash of light appeared on his body, and the Golden Dragon King Martial Soul was instantly released.

Golden rhomboid scales appeared on Ye Qi'an's body, and a pair of golden dragon horns instantly grew from his head. His arms were covered in golden scales and transformed into a pair of dragon claws. Just when Xu Sanshi thought that was all there was to it, a pair of huge golden dragon wings suddenly grew from Ye Qi'an's back, and two crimson-gold blood and spirit rings quietly circled in front of him.

The suppressive power of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline made it difficult for all the Soul Masters with Beast Martial Souls watching the match to breathe for a moment.

"A different colored spirit ring?" Xu Sanshi instantly felt the powerful superior suppression, and his face turned pale. In particular, his martial spirit was slightly out of control, but he still forced himself to hold on, raised the tortoise shell shield again, and charged towards Ye Qi'an.

At this moment, the first of Xu Sanshi's three soul rings, a hundred-year-old yellow soul ring, lit up. The black light on his tortoise-shell shield instantly doubled in intensity, and a powerful black halo spread out from the shield, covering an area of ​​more than ten square meters.

Xuanming Zhen is an area-of-effect knockback skill with a stun effect. If the enemy's cultivation level is lower than his, he will be stunned while being knocked back, or at least forced to create distance.

Despite facing Xu Sanshi's powerful skill, Ye Qi'an showed no panic. He suddenly flapped his golden dragon wings and his body instantly soared into the air, easily avoiding the range of Xuanming Zhen.

"Your strength is nothing special. You couldn't even force me to use my soul skill." Ye Qian said as he swooped down, his speed as fast as lightning. His dragon claws flashed with dazzling golden light as he grabbed at Xu Sanshi.

Xu Sanshi hurriedly raised his tortoise-shell shield to defend himself, but the power of the Golden Dragon King was not something he could easily withstand.

With a loud "bang," Xu Sanshi was knocked back several meters by Ye Qian'an's powerful impact. His arm went numb, and the tortoise shell shield almost slipped from his grasp.

"Anyone can talk big, but you need to have the ability to back it up," Ye Qi'an said with a cold snort.

Xu Sanshi gritted his teeth, enduring the pain in his body, and launched another attack.

However, Ye Qi'an remained unmoved, his body radiating golden light that seemed to envelop the entire arena: "Second Soul Skill, Golden Dragon Overlord Body!"

As soon as Xu Sanshi's attack got close to Ye Qi'an, it was absorbed and bounced back, sending Xu Sanshi flying and crashing heavily to the ground.

Ye Qi'an walked towards Xu Sanshi step by step, each step carrying a powerful sense of oppression. Xu Sanshi tried to struggle to get up, but under the absolute suppression of the Golden Dragon King Martial Soul, he was unable to move at all.

"So what if you're an upperclassman? So what if you're a freshman? That's the difference between us. Bring on the bet," Ye Qi'an said coldly.

At this moment, Xu Sanshi was filled with despair and resentment, but he was powerless to do anything. He took out a small light blue bottle from his soul tool.

Ye Qi'an took the light blue bottle, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, "A bet's a bet. Remember this lesson."

Xu Sanshi gritted his teeth, struggled to his feet, and said bitterly, "I will remember this humiliation and make my revenge in the future."

Ye Qi'an smiled nonchalantly and said, "I'll be waiting anytime, but the result won't change next time."

At this moment, the audience below the stage was shocked by Ye Qi'an's powerful strength, and cheers rose and fell. The competition ended faster than everyone expected, and many people did not even see the whole competition process clearly.

"Newcomer Ye Qi'an wins." The referee's announcement rang out.

Amid cheers from the crowd, Ye Qi'an slowly walked off the stage. Huo Yuhao and the others immediately surrounded him, their eyes filled with admiration and excitement.

"Not bad," Gu Yuena said, looking at Ye Qi'an.

"Of course, we can't lose our pride," Ye Qi'an said with a smile.

"Brother Ye, you're amazing! Xu Sanshi is a senior student, and you defeated him so quickly!" Huo Yuhao said excitedly.

Ye Qi'an smiled and patted Huo Yuhao on the shoulder, "He underestimated us freshmen too much. He didn't lose unjustly. This is your reward for winning. I took one, and the remaining two are yours."

It was a deep blue pill, about the size of a cherry, with many white veins on its surface. After being poured out of the porcelain bottle, a thin layer of mist enveloped the pill. A refreshing fragrance lingered in the air, soothing and pleasant.

"What is this?" Huo Yuhao asked, somewhat puzzled.

Seeing Huo Yuhao's puzzled expression, Bei Bei explained, "This is the Profound Water Pill. Not only is the Profound Water Pill highly nourishing and able to enhance soul power, but its medicinal properties are also very mild, allowing soul masters of all levels to absorb its effects well. For soul masters below level 20, it can at least increase their soul power by one level. But its most precious aspect is not here, but rather its ability to cleanse the marrow and strengthen the bones."

Huo Yuhao's eyes widened as he looked at the Profound Water Pill in his hand. "Brother Ye, this is too precious!"

Ye Qi'an smiled and said, "Take it. Cultivate diligently and strive to become stronger."

After chatting for a while, the group returned to their respective dormitories. Upon arriving at the dormitory building, Ye Qi'an did not return to his dormitory with Gu Yuena. Instead, he sat cross-legged not far from the dormitory building, took out the Xuan Shui Pill, swallowed it in one gulp, and then closed his eyes to meditate.

The old man who had been lying lazily at the dormitory entrance opened and closed his eyes slightly before returning to his original state.

It was already night, and in the darkness, the faint blue light emanating from Ye Qi'an's body was particularly noticeable. It could be seen that a thin layer of water mist seemed to float on the surface of his body, and a faint fragrance emanated from the mist.

On the surface of his body, tiny golden streams of energy emanated from his pores. This was the soul energy fluctuation he sensed. Meanwhile, the pale blue mist continuously flowed in and out of his pores. As time passed, the color of the mist gradually deepened, while the fragrance gradually faded.

The light emanating from Ye Qi'an grew stronger, and his breathing gradually became steady and deep. The surrounding air seemed to be stirred by the power emanating from him, forming tiny vortices.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Qi'an suddenly opened his eyes, two beams of light shooting out from them. He stood up, stretched his body, and his bones cracked and popped, instantly shaking away the grime clinging to his body.

"Level 24, not bad," Ye Qi'an muttered to himself, calming himself down before turning and walking towards his dormitory.

As he passed by the old man, the old man opened his eyes slightly again, glanced at him, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes. He muttered, "The bloodline suppression of the dragon race's superiors, achieving complete dragon transformation with just level 20 soul power, is terrifying."

Upon hearing Dragon God Douluo Mu En's mutterings, Ye Qi'an paused slightly but did not stop, quickly entering the dormitory building.

After returning to his and Gu Yuena's dormitory, Ye Qi'an washed up in the space Gu Yuena had set up, as usual, before sitting on the large bed where the two beds were pushed together.

"How are you feeling?" Gu Yuena asked.

"I barely managed to raise my soul power by one level, and my cultivation speed improved slightly. Without the support of spiritual objects, it would take me at least a year to break through to level 30," Ye Qi'an said, shaking his head.

"This soul-guided storage ring is for you. Inside are the spiritual items I prepared for you, and I've already assigned them to you, specifying when you should take them." Gu Yuena said as she placed a soul-guided storage ring in Ye Qi'an's hand.

Ye Qi'an accepted the soul guide storage ring without saying much, as expressing his gratitude to the two of them would be superfluous.

"Let's cultivate together. We'll use the Dragon God Core to replenish our cultivation, and my bloodline can also help you recover from your injuries, Nana," Ye Qian suddenly said.

"It's possible, but Qi'an, can you handle it? My injuries are no ordinary ones; they could easily backfire on you," Gu Yuena said hesitantly.

Ye Qi'an nodded and said, "Nana, don't worry about me, I can manage. Let's begin!"

Seeing Ye Qi'an's determination, Gu Yuena nodded without further hesitation.

The two sat facing each other again, their hands clasped together. The core of the Dragon God hovered above their heads, slowly rotating, while simultaneously isolating their auras.

At first, everything went smoothly. Ye Qi'an's Golden Dragon King bloodline continuously nourished Gu Yuena's injuries, while Gu Yuena's soul power also fed back to Ye Qi'an, causing his soul power to continuously increase. However, as time went by, Gu Yuena's injuries gradually began to backfire on Ye Qi'an.

Ye Qi'an groaned, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing blood trickling from the corner of Ye Qi'an's mouth, Gu Yuena quickly said, "Qi'an, stop! You're pushing yourself too hard!"

Ye Qi'an gritted his teeth and said, "I can still withstand this backlash." After saying that, he endured the pain, and the golden light on his body became even more dazzling as he tried his best to suppress the backlash.

Seeing this, Gu Yuena stopped trying to persuade him and began to fully cooperate with Ye Qi'an. The two of them gradually merged their auras and began to suppress the backlash. At this moment, the core of the Dragon God emitted a powerful yet gentle force, which slowly dissolved the backlash by following the two of them.

Ye Qi'an and Gu Yuena both breathed a sigh of relief and continued to immerse themselves in cultivation until the next morning when they opened their eyes at the same time, their eyes filled with surprise.

Gu Yuena said, "My injuries have healed somewhat, but they are still quite serious."

Ye Qi'an nodded in response: "Isn't everything developing in a positive direction? And Nana, your cultivation boost has also benefited me greatly. Let's go, it's time to go to class."

Gu Yuena nodded, and after the two got up and tidied themselves up, they went to the teaching building together. Compared to Zhou Yi's classes yesterday, both the morning and afternoon sessions were theoretical. The morning session was about martial spirit classification, and the afternoon session was about identifying the age of spirit beasts.

Ye Qi'an and Gu Yuena, sitting in the classroom, were somewhat stunned as they looked at the empty seats beside them.

"Aren't those two kids usually the most diligent? How come they're late?" Gu Yuena tilted her head and said.

"Being late is impossible, right?"

Although Ye Qi'an said this, he immediately thought that Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong seemed to encounter a berserk Ma Xiaotao today. It has to be said that these two unlucky kids seem to encounter almost every bad thing. It's unbelievable.

At that very moment, on the shore of Seagod Lake, just as Huo Yuhao was about to be swallowed by the giant fiery hand, the color of his spiritual eyes suddenly changed.

His deep blue eyes, which had been shimmering with a faint golden light, turned white in an instant. An extreme chill suddenly emanated from Huo Yuhao's body, forcefully dispelling all the heat in front of him. The fiery red figure also let out a muffled groan, and his body tumbled backward.

When Huo Yuhao used his Spirit Eye, the white spirit ring that rose from beneath his feet turned into an incomparably brilliant gold, its dazzling golden light shining like a rising sun.

Centered on Huo Yuhao's body, an area within a hundred meters in diameter instantly transformed into a world of ice and snow. Even the Sea God Lake in front of him froze.

The red figure seemed to be trembling violently. In the air, a terrifying pressure continued to gather. Huo Yuhao slowly raised his right arm. His right index finger had turned ice blue at some point, and white light flashed in his eyes.

A chilling voice rang out in the air. "Dare to touch the person I chose? Dare to disturb my sleep? Die!"

With a flick of his index finger, a streak of icy blue light flashed through the air and disappeared, heading straight for the red figure.

The temperature around the red figure dropped sharply under the extreme chill emanating from Huo Yuhao, and then a loud phoenix cry suddenly rang out.

The flames behind him instantly turned dark red. A thin, finger-like thread of fire shot out from the fire phoenix's mouth, colliding with the icy blue light emitted from Huo Yuhao's right index finger.

"Sizzle—" A series of strange sounds rang out, the fire line instantly collapsed, and the huge fire phoenix suddenly pounced forward, using its massive body to block the red figure.

With a deafening roar, the fiery red figure was swept back, its entire body enveloped in an icy blue hue, before plunging directly into the distant Sea God Lake. A large amount of white mist immediately rose from the lake.

Huo Yuhao was about to give chase when he paused. The voice he'd heard before rang out again, "Ugh, someone's coming again. Hmm, this kid's physical abilities are improving fast! Looks like I can give him a little more power. I'm going to escape."

The golden halo quickly faded, turning white and disappearing. All the chill in the surrounding area vanished in an instant, and the lake water swiftly returned to normal.

Huo Yuhao's white eyes, which had been radiating intense coldness, returned to normal, and his body went limp, collapsing to the ground.

The shores of Sea God Lake, which had been filled with terrifying soul power fluctuations just moments before, had now completely returned to calm. Only Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong lay unconscious on the ground. What followed was a series of handling matters, as well as confidentiality compensation for Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong.
