Douluo Continent: Starting with the Tiger Emperor Template

Lu Ren: "Old Ji, hurry up, or I'm going to be kidnapped."

Ji Juechen didn't ask any more questions. He sheathed his sword, grabbed Ye Guyi's clothes with his backhand, pulled her around, and sped off towards the other end of the alley.

Before Ye Guyi could react, he had already dragged her several meters away.

She subconsciously turned around, wanting to call Lu Ren's name, but met Lu Ren's eyes, which were glaring fiercely at her.

The meaning in his eyes couldn't be clearer:

Hurry up, don't hold us back.

Ye Guyi bit her lower lip, a hint of resentment flashing in her beautiful eyes.

She broke free from Ji Juechen's hand and used her soul power to keep up with him.

Damn it, she wanted to stay and help Lu Ren, but her current combat strength was simply not enough.

Even if the Holy Angel Martial Soul can counter evil soul masters, it's useless against the top geniuses of the Body Sect.

She knew that Lu Ren was protecting her by letting her go, but this kindness stirred up an unprecedented obsession in her heart.

She must become stronger quickly, strong enough that next time she faces a similar situation, she won't need anyone to make the decision to run away for her!

Long Aotian watched as Ji Juechen and Ye Guyi disappeared into the night in the alley without offering any resistance.

He didn't even glance at them; from the moment he stood there, he had only one goal.

Lu Ren didn't turn around either. The two stood face to face. The last rays of the setting sun disappeared through the gaps in the alley. The soul-guided streetlights on both sides of the long street lit up automatically, and the dim yellow light cast two bizarre silhouettes of the two people on the ground.

"Is your sect leader in trouble?"

Lu Ren spoke first, his tone returning to its usual calm, his shoulders slightly slumped, as if he were chatting about some gossip from the streets.

Long Aotian frowned.

A clear hint of displeasure appeared on his face, but it wasn't the annoyance of being offended; rather, it was as if someone had diverted attention from the topic he cared about most.

You haven't answered my question yet.

Long Aotian's tone was several degrees more somber than before.

Lu Ren was stunned for a moment.

"What's the problem?"

What type of woman do you like?

Long Aotian repeated himself, now he understood.

Lu Ren was somewhat distracted just now.

"Don't get me wrong, I just want to know what your taste is like."

"A person's sexual fetishes reflect whether that person's soul is interesting, nothing more."

What type of woman do you like?

Lu Ren suddenly became serious, raising his hand to his chin as he pondered.

Then he began to speak:

"A tall girl with a large bust and long legs, and a compatible personality; of course, if she also has a good temperament, that would be even better..."

Upon hearing Lu Ren's words, Long Aotian was stunned. Then he slowly opened his eyes and stared straight at Lu Ren.

Just like Lu Ren's words, they struck a chord with him!

Immediately afterwards, all sorts of strange memories flooded into Long Aotian's mind.

Memories of Lu Ren encouraging him when he was diligently cultivating at the Body Sect, and of Lu Ren coming up behind him, patting him on the back, and smiling as he said, "She's just a woman, she's not worth being so sad. Come on, I'll treat you to dinner"...

He and Lu Ren cultivated together, ate together, and lived together at the Body Sect... They addressed each other as brothers...

Non-existent memories have increased.

As Long Aotian pondered this, he raised his head, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.

"It seems we're very close friends..."

Long Aotian murmured, thinking of Lu Ren's sunny and cheerful smile towards him...

He could confirm that Lu Ren was his brother!

brother!!

Brothers!!!

Originally, Long Aotian did not want to come to the Sun Moon Empire, but he agreed due to the sect leader's request.

In his eyes, these people who use soul tools are a bunch of trash and not worth mentioning at all.

But right now, Long Aotian feels incredibly happy.

Because... he found his most important friend during his trip to the Sun Moon Empire!

Lu Ren: "???"

My dearest friend?

"You only just learned my name..." Lu Ren's lips twitched.

Why does this scene feel somewhat familiar?

"I'm not the kind of vulgar man who would go easy on a close friend!"

Long Aotian looked at Lu Ren with surprise, then stood on tiptoe and began to blend into the surrounding environment... his aura rose steadily.

Lu Ren's pupils contracted slightly.

The state of harmony between humanity and nature!

This Long Aotian truly deserves to be called a top genius. He actually mastered the realm of harmony between heaven and man at the age of fifteen. Even Huo Yuhao can't compare to him in this respect.

As for himself... his training time was too short, only about a year, but if placed in the realm of Jujutsu Kaisen, Lu Ren would be a top genius.

At least, Lu Ren learned all the advanced techniques, such as reversal spells, generation spells, and barrier spells, on his own; no one taught him these!

And this all happened within the same year.

This alone proves that Lu Ren's talent is definitely not bad.

Lost in thought, seeing Long Aotian about to attack him, a curse mark began to appear on Lu Ren's lips...

But just as the cursed seal was about to fully manifest, Lu Ren froze.

Because... he saw Long Aotian's incredibly intense gaze.

Lu Ren can only perfectly unleash an output of energy far exceeding his cultivation level when he fully integrates his soul power and spell power.

However, in terms of achieving harmony between man and nature, and in terms of enhancing the aura of his own combat skills, Lu Ren is still slightly inferior to Long Aotian in front of him.

He had to use a spell to tell Long Aotian not to move before Long Aotian's momentum reached its peak, and then knock him down with a single punch.

That's how it should have been.

However, Lu Ren could see Long Aotian's expression and eyes...

Let's give it our all!

This is what Long Aotian is telling himself.

Over the course of about ten years, Long Aotian's thirst for battle and the burning intensity in his eyes that matched his thirst moved Lu Ren, who did not believe that battle itself had any meaning.

Finally, infected by Long Aotian's enthusiasm, Lu Ren revealed a smile, and the curse mark on his lips disappeared:

"This is a one-time offer."

Absolute friendship, and the brotherhood that arises from it!

What will teach you about friendship is...

"Bang!"

In just a moment, Lu Ren and Long Aotian were locked in combat, engaging in close-quarters hand-to-hand fighting...

Despite Long Aotian's all-out effort, Lu Ren chose to hold back.

He didn't even unleash a single black flash, and his curse power and soul power were useless; he simply relied on his own hand-to-hand combat to fight his opponent in close combat.

"This is absolutely amazing, Lu Ren!"

The exhilarating start of the fight made Long Aotian feel his blood boiling. He laughed heartily and clashed fists with Lu Ren once again.

"My passion is burning!"

"Bang, bang, bang!!!"

The two figures clashed in a dazzling display of skill, exchanging blows over a hundred times in just about a minute.

Even though Long Aotian was at a complete disadvantage, he was still overjoyed inside.

You really are delicious! No wonder you're the dessert I chose, Lu Ren!

At this moment, Lu Ren sighed inwardly, realizing that Long Aotian's state of harmony between man and nature was only at the very beginning... not as mature as it would be five years later when he competed against Huo Yuhao and the others.

Just as he lost focus, Long Aotian's fifth spirit ring lit up, and he was about to unleash his strongest move to clash with Lu Ren with all his might!

A curse mark appeared at the corner of Lu Ren's mouth:

"Don't move!!!"

The sound waves struck, freezing Long Aotian in place.

He can't move!

The next second, the fist in front of him grew larger and larger...

"Bang!"

Long Aotian's figure was sent flying by Lu Ren's punch.

However, Lu Ren's expression was not relaxed even after defeating Long Aotian so cleanly and decisively.

He looked up into the distance, where... it seemed like two people's gazes were fixed on him!

"What was bound to happen, has finally happened, Xuanzi!"

Lu Ren sneered; he had already figured out Xuanzi's purpose.

"This time, I have a spell. If you dare come, I'll make you defecate in public!"
