Douluo Continent II: The Dragon King Suppresses the World!

Long Xiaoyao's gaze was fixed firmly on Ye Qi'an, and his aura began to slowly surge. He said, "Young man, although you possess astonishing strength, today's events are not something you can control alone."

Ye Qi'an met Long Xiaoyao's gaze without fear and replied, "Then let's try. I'm never afraid of challenges."

At this moment, the atmosphere in the sky grew increasingly heavy. Xian Lin'er and Yan Shaozhe exchanged a glance, both feeling a complex mix of emotions.

Long Xiaoyao slightly raised his hand, and a powerful surge of soul energy instantly spread out. The surrounding air seemed to freeze under this power, making it difficult to breathe.

"Since you are so stubborn, then I will show you the true power of a Limit Douluo." With that, Long Xiaoyao's body shone brightly, and a huge black dragon phantom appeared behind him. The black dragon exuded a terrifying pressure, seemingly capable of swallowing up the heavens and the earth.

"I'm feeling confident now," Ye Qi'an said with a slight smile.

Long Xiaoyao was slightly taken aback, his gaze fixed on Ye Qi'an, and he said coldly, "Young man, don't try to play tricks. No matter what you do today, you can't escape my grasp."

Ye Qi'an's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mysterious smile: "Is that so? Then you'd better watch out."

Just then, the space around Ye Qi'an twisted and shattered, and a large number of silver particles shot out from the twisted and shattered space. The powerful energy fluctuations caused everyone present to change color slightly.

"That's much fairer now! Martial Soul Fusion Skill—Dragon God's Descent!"

As Ye Qi'an finished speaking, his body gradually became ethereal, transforming into a large number of golden particles. Amidst the flashing light, a powerful pressure spread out, and a huge light and shadow slowly emerged. Within the light and shadow, the outline of a dragon could be vaguely seen, majestic and sacred. When the light and shadow was fully formed, a terrifying power swept out like a storm.

A colossal throne, three meters tall and adorned with numerous dragon patterns, quietly appeared. The figure sat firmly upon it, and in the blink of an eye, the illusory image on the throne solidified, radiating an aura of majesty. His face was cold and noble, his incomparably majestic dragon eyes intimidating onlookers. His long hair was as smooth as silk, gleaming brilliantly in the light. His figure was upright, exuding an innate kingly aura.

"Pilgrims..."

"With devout sincerity, you prostrated yourself with every step, just to pay homage to me. Why did you come with murderous intent? If you do not bow before me, your true destiny is lost. Your name is on the Reincarnation Stele. On the path to rebirth, your sins will be halved. I will protect your true spirit, making you invincible throughout history, both in heaven and on earth. You yearn for defeat but cannot have it. Now you have appeared, and I will personally suppress and kill you..."

The moment that figure appeared, the one who felt it most strongly was Dragon Emperor Douluo. If it were just a figure, it wouldn't have made Dragon Emperor Douluo feel so deeply. More importantly, it was the pressure brought by that majesty. That's right, as a Limit Douluo, he felt the pressure, a pressure that originated from his bloodline.

"Dragon God?" Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao subconsciously took a step back and exclaimed in surprise.

Back then, he and Mu En were known as the Black and White Twin Holy Dragons. Mu En's title was Dragon God, and his title was Dragon Emperor. Their martial souls were the Holy Dragon of Light and the Holy Dragon of Darkness, respectively. In reality, they were both branches of the dragon race. The reason they were so powerful was because they were true dragon martial souls.

Both the Holy Dragon of Light and the Holy Dragon of Darkness hold high positions within the Dragon Clan, being upper-ranking dragons. Long Xiaoyao's martial soul is actually inherited from the Beast God Di Tian, ​​but their status differs. As the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian is equivalent to the patriarch of the Black Dragon Clan, while if the Holy Dragon of Darkness truly exists, it would at most be equivalent to an elder of the Black Dragon Clan.

The aura emanating from that figure was clearly that of a dragon, and it completely surpassed that of the Holy Dragon of Light and the Holy Dragon of Darkness. This terrifying aura could only be possessed by the Dragon God among the dragons! That was clearly a true Dragon God!

The bloodline of the Dragon God—he had lived for over two hundred years and had never even heard of it. Long Xiaoyao finally gently slapped out his raised right hand. The night sky behind him turned completely black.

The pitch-black night sky seemed like an endless abyss, forming a stark contrast with the figure on the throne exuding the aura of a dragon god.

Long Xiaoyao's attack contained all the power of his Limit Douluo level, and the air crackled under the pressure of this power.

However, the figure on the throne remained as steady as Mount Tai. A hint of disdain flashed in his majestic dragon eyes. He slightly raised his hand, and a dazzling light shot out from his fingertips, instantly colliding with Long Xiaoyao's attack.

"boom!"

The enormous sound was like a thunderclap, and a powerful energy wave spread outwards. Xian Lin'er and Yan Shaozhe quickly retreated again to avoid the terrifying impact.

Long Xiaoyao felt an irresistible force rushing towards him, and his body involuntarily retreated. He was shocked that his full-force attack had been so easily neutralized.

"The might of the Dragon God is indeed not to be underestimated." Long Xiaoyao gritted his teeth and once again mobilized all his soul power, making the aura of the Dark Sacred Dragon Martial Soul even stronger.

"Dark Dragon Flame!" Long Xiaoyao shouted, and a blazing black flame spewed from the mouth of the black dragon, sweeping towards the figure on the throne.

Wherever the black flames passed, the space seemed to be scorched and distorted, but the figure on the throne remained unmoved. With a gentle wave of his hand, a golden light flashed, and the black flames instantly vanished without a trace.

"Shut up." The majestic voice echoed in the sky, carrying an endless sense of oppression.

Long Xiaoyao's face grew even more gloomy. He had never imagined that he would be so passive in front of this young man.

At this moment, Xian Lin'er and Yan Shaozhe were also shocked. A spirit fusion skill that ignored distance, allowing two Soul Saints to contend with a Limit Douluo—such strength…

Long Xiaoyao gritted his teeth, a resolute glint in his eyes. He knew that if he couldn't resolve this trouble today, it would cause endless trouble in the future. He said, "Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being impolite."

Long Xiaoyao roared, his soul power surging wildly. The black dragon behind him grew even larger, radiating a terrifying aura. The black dragon opened its massive mouth, and a beam of black light shot out, heading straight for the figure on the throne.

However, the figure on the throne merely raised his eyes slightly, and an even more dazzling golden light shot out from them. This light instantly collided with the black light, producing a loud bang.

A powerful energy fluctuation spread outwards once again, and the surrounding space seemed to tremble under this power. Xian Lin'er and Yan Shaozhe quickly cast their soul power shields to protect themselves and Huo Yuhao.

Long Xiaoyao was sent flying backward by the force, spitting out a mouthful of blood. After regaining his balance, he looked at the figure on the throne and said, "Indeed, before the Dragon God, all dragons must submit."

A complex mix of emotions flickered in Long Xiaoyao's eyes: resentment, awe, and a hint of barely perceptible confusion. He knew all too well that he could not defeat this powerful dragon god's strength today.

Yan Shaozhe stepped forward and said to Long Xiaoyao, "Senior Long, let's leave it at that. I hope you will carefully consider your actions in the future and not get caught up in endless struggles for short-term gains."

Long Xiaoyao remained silent for a moment, then finally sighed, "So be it, I accept today's defeat. But remember, this matter will not end here." After saying that, he glanced once more at the dragon god's figure on the throne, then turned and transformed into a black shadow, disappearing into the horizon.

As Long Xiaoyao departed, the tense atmosphere in the sky finally dissipated completely. The golden light emanating from that figure began to recede gradually, like a receding tide. When the light completely disappeared, Ye Qi'an's figure reappeared, while the silver particles disappeared back into the void.

Six figures appeared on the distant horizon. Almost the instant they were seen, the six people were already close by. The one in the lead was none other than the Gluttonous Douluo Xuan Lao, who appeared out of thin air in front of them.

Elder Xuan spotted Long Xiaoyao leaving at a glance, and his eyes suddenly narrowed: This person is incredibly strong.

"Who is that person?" Elder Xuan asked.

Yan Shaozhe quickly stepped forward and said respectfully, "Elder Xuan, this person is the Dragon Emperor Douluo, Long Xiaoyao."

"Long Xiaoyao? Long Xiaoyao!" Elder Xuan suddenly realized, and not only him, but all the powerful figures from Shrek Academy who had come with him also changed their expressions drastically.

"He... he's still alive?"

If anyone in Shrek Academy still knows about the past grievances between Long Xiaoyao and Elder Mu, then Elder Xuan is probably the only one. That was a hundred years ago, and Elder Xuan never imagined that a century later, after Elder Mu's passing, he would actually see this Dragon Emperor Douluo who had vanished for a hundred years.

Yan Shaozhe hurriedly recounted in detail how Huo Yuhao knocked on Jing Hongchen's bamboo bar, and how Ye Qi'an used his Martial Soul Fusion Technique to defeat Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao and kill Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng.

After listening to Yan Shaozhe's account, Elder Xuan's expression grew even more solemn. He looked at Ye Qi'an, his eyes filled with a complex mix of admiration and worry.

"Ye Qi'an, your actions today, while resolving your immediate predicament, have also brought great trouble upon you. Long Xiaoyao will never let this go," Elder Xuan said in a deep voice.

"If I really wanted to kill him, he wouldn't have been able to escape just now; I would have killed him on the spot," Ye Qi'an said, shaking his head.

Elder Xuan was slightly taken aback, his gaze fixed intently on Ye Qi'an: "You mean, you had the ability to kill Long Xiaoyao but held back?"

Ye Qi'an nodded slightly: "That's right. I was able to kill Zhang Peng, the Scorpion Tiger Douluo, with a single blow. How strong can he be, being just a Limit Douluo? Whether I kill him or not depends on my mood."

A thoughtful look flashed in Elder Xuan's eyes: "Why did you show mercy?"

Ye Qi'an said calmly, "Although I am not afraid of him, I do not want to make a deadly enemy. If we really fight to the death, it will not benefit anyone."

Yan Shaozhe approached Elder Xuan and whispered, "Elder Xuan..."

Elder Xuan shook his head at him and said, "Let's go back." He clearly didn't want to say more and looked thoughtful. Since taking over Elder Mu's position as the Sea God Pavilion Master, his clothes were no longer so dirty, and his slovenly appearance had improved, but the wine gourd on his back was never missing.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, and the group followed Elder Xuan, flying towards Shrek Academy.

In the distance, Shrek City finally came into view. Led by Elder Xuan, the group landed dozens of miles outside Shrek City.

Shrek City's defenses are incredibly strong; even its own people wouldn't dare to fly over there rashly to avoid misunderstandings, and the same applies to Shrek Academy. With the development of the Soul Guidance System, various defensive Soul Guidance Devices have been continuously deployed in Shrek City and Shrek Academy. For these powerful individuals, traveling dozens of miles is merely a blink of an eye.

"Everyone, go back and rest. Ye Qi'an, you'll stay at the Sea God Pavilion for now. We'll arrange accommodation for you after the event ends in a few days. Your original dormitory in the outer courtyard has been assigned to someone else," Elder Xuan said to Ye Qi'an.

"An event?" Ye Qi'an wondered.

Yan Shaozhe saw through his thoughts and said with a smile, "Forget about it. It's time for our academy to take the entrance exam for the inner academy soon."

Shrek Academy's inner academy holds an entrance examination every year, primarily for senior students from the outer academies. However, some outstanding students from other academies who wish to enter Shrek Academy's inner academy can also participate in the examination at this time with a recommendation letter from their respective academies. If they pass the examination, they can also become members of Shrek Academy's inner academy.

However, because Shrek Academy's Martial Soul Department is the best in the entire continent, it is extremely difficult for students from other academies to pass Shrek Academy's rigorous inner court examinations. It's considered very good if one or two students pass each year; more often than not, there aren't any outside students at all.

Elder Xuan looked at Ye Qi'an and asked, "Are you coming back to the Sea God Pavilion with us now?"

Ye Qi'an shook his head and said, "No, thank you. I haven't been back for so long, I want to wander around the academy."

"Alright."

Elder Xuan nodded, gave Ye Qi'an a few instructions, and then disappeared in a beam of light. The other elders and the two deans also left one after another.

Ye Qi'an turned and walked towards Shrek City. Just then, a figure rushed out from Shrek Academy at great speed and jumped into his arms the instant he turned around.

"Brother." Ye Xiyao's clear voice rang out.

Ye Qi'an was slightly taken aback, looking at the figure before him, a gentle smile appearing on his face: "Xi Yao, what brings you here? Where's your sister Nana?"

Ye Xiyao's eyes were full of joy as she said, "After Sister Nana brought me to Shrek Academy, it seems that I was called away by the people from the academy, apparently for some kind of activity."

"I see." Ye Qi'an smoothed Ye Xiyao's long golden hair and continued, "Have you enrolled yet? If not, your brother will take you there."

Ye Xiyao shook her head and said, "Not yet, brother. I've been waiting for you to come back."

Ye Qi'an smiled and took Ye Xiyao's hand, saying, "Come on, brother will take you to register now."
