Douluo Dragon King: The Twin Dragons of Time and Space, Mistaken for Dragon God

Inside the Ascension Platform, the Crystal Bear entered a brief period of weakness after unleashing its ultimate attack, but its thick skin and tough flesh still made it difficult to deal with.

Chu Nan's left hand controlled time lag, while his right hand exerted spatial pressure. The combined control made the crystal bear's movements stiff and sluggish, like an old ox that had been given sleeping pills.

Xie Xie went berserk, alternating between the Light Dragon Dagger and the Shadow Dragon Dagger, targeting joints and eyes, like a young widow who had been swindled out of her fortune. Every strike was fueled by vengeful fury, and he kept muttering, "You'll get what you deserve! You'll get Wu Lin! You'll get Wu Lin!"

Gu Yue's face was cold as she unleashed a barrage of fireballs, ice spikes, wind blades, and lightning spears, precisely striking the crystal bear's various weak points. Her attacks were calm and efficient, but her gaze never left Chu Nan's direction.

Three minutes later, the Crystal Bear let out a desperate howl, its massive body crashed to the ground, turning into specks of light and dissipating, leaving behind a ball of crystal-clear energy suspended in mid-air.

Chu Nan waved his hand: "You guys can divide it up, I don't need it."

Who understands the loneliness of condensing one's own Soul Ring and then hanging up the list?

Xie Xie and Gu Yue stared at each other coldly, neither of them making a move on the ball of energy.

"I'll settle the score with you when we get out!" Xie Xie gritted his teeth, his eyes blazing with murderous intent, and was the first to leave the Ascension Platform.

Gu Yue looked at Chu Nan, a hint of guilt in her eyes, and lowered her voice, "You...you're not angry with me, are you?"

Chu Nan glanced at her, said nothing, but sighed, "Let's go."

Both of them withdrew at the same time.

…………

In the medical ward, Tang Wulin and Wang Jinxi lay in the instrument chamber, their faces pale and their brows furrowed, clearly suffering the aftereffects of their near-death experience.

The staff were examining them, and one of them frowned and said to Long Hengxu and Wu Changkong, "This is a bit troublesome. Because they were absorbing soul energy at the time, they were forcibly interrupted and forced to withdraw. The aftereffects of their deaths are much more severe than normal. They will probably need to lie in bed for a day or two to recover."

Long Hengxu and Wu Changkong stood to the side, their faces ashen.

…………

Xie Xie rushed out of the instrument chamber and headed straight for Gu Yue, his voice loud enough to be heard throughout the entire floor: "Gu Yue! Explain yourself!"

Wei Xiaofeng and Zhang Yangzi walked over, both looking at Gu Yue with dark expressions.

Xie Xie pointed angrily at Gu Yue, his fingers trembling, his voice hoarse: "Did you deliberately lure the Crystal Bear here?! And wait for it to charge up! Wang Jinxi and Wu Lin were almost killed because of you!"

Gu Yue looked at him coldly, her tone as indifferent as if she were stating something unimportant: "I said, their own strength is insufficient. The Ascension Platform is meant for practical training, so encountering strong enemies is normal."

"Insufficient strength?!" Xie Xie's eyes were bloodshot, and veins bulged on his neck. "You lured the Crystal Bear here, deliberately leading it into crowds. Isn't that just harming people?"

Wei Xiaofeng couldn't hold back any longer, his voice filled with anger: "That's right! Gu Yue, you've gone too far! We're all classmates! If you do this, who will dare to team up with you in the future?"

Zhang Yangzi frowned at Gu Yue, his tone serious: "Gu Yue, you lured the Crystal Bear over. Tang Wulin and Wang Jinxi were still absorbing energy at the time and didn't even have a chance to react. This isn't a training mistake; you're playing with their future."

Gu Yue sneered, ignored them, and turned to leave.

"Stop right there!" Xie Xie grabbed her wrist. "You're not leaving until you explain yourself!"

Gu Yue abruptly shook off his hand, her purple eyes flashing with cold light, and elemental power surging around her: "Xie Xie, I've tolerated you for a long time. You say I did it on purpose, where's the evidence? If you have no evidence, shut up. If you slander me again, don't blame me for being impolite."

"Evidence? Your shamelessness is the evidence!" Xie Xie roared. "You've disliked Wu Lin from day one, don't think we can't see it! You're a human beast! A tigress! A she-devil!"

Gu Yue's purple eyes narrowed sharply, and a compressed fireball had already formed in her palm. Her voice was as cold as ice: "Say that again?"

"Fine, I'll say it! Mother Tyrannosaurus! What? You want to fight? Come on! I'm not afraid of you!" Xie Xie didn't back down at all, the Light Dragon Dagger was already in his hand, and his soul power surged.

The two sides' soul power surged, the atmosphere was tense, and it looked like they were about to fight. Just then...

That's enough.

A cold voice came from the doorway, and the pressure of a Soul Emperor level instantly filled the entire area. Everyone froze, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over them from head to toe.

Wu Changkong walked in expressionlessly, his gaze sweeping over everyone before finally settling on Gu Yue and Xie Xie.

"Look at the state of you all. Classmates arguing, almost coming to blows? You've completely disgraced Class Zero."

He looked at Gu Yue, his tone leaving no room for doubt: "Come to my office after you get back."

He then looked at Xie Xie: "You too. Now, both of you shut up."

Xie Xie gritted his teeth in resentment, but ultimately dared not say anything more and withdrew his martial spirit. Gu Yue remained expressionless, simply lowering her eyes, concealing her elemental power, and turning to walk towards the corner.

Chu Nan stood aside, watching the whole thing unfold, inwardly fuming: "Gu Yue definitely did it on purpose, trying to trap Tang Wulin. This feud started the moment she learned Tang Wulin's identity. The Silver Dragon King's intelligence... she practically has 'I did it on purpose' written all over her face. But she probably recognized Tang Wulin's identity—the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, Tang San's son, a descendant of a human god. To her, he's probably a threat that must be eliminated."

But the problem is, it almost got me in trouble too! If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would be lying there right now.

Tsk, women's minds are so hard to fathom. No, a female dragon's mind is even harder to fathom.

…………

On the way back to the academy, Wu Changkong and the others stayed at the Spirit Pagoda to observe Tang Wulin and Wang Jinxi's condition, while Chu Nan and Gu Yue returned to the academy first.

The two walked side by side on the road, silent for a long time. The setting sun cast long shadows of them, one leisurely, the other deep in thought.

Gu Yue glanced at Chu Nan several times, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Finally, she spoke softly, "Are you... alright?"

"No, it's nothing." Chu Nan said calmly, his eyes fixed ahead.

Gu Yue pursed her lips: "Just now at the Ascension Platform... thank you for covering for me."

"No need to thank me, it's my duty as a classmate." Chu Nan waved his hand.

Gu Yue hesitated for a moment, thinking that Chu Nan was angry, which was why he was being so cold. She said in a low voice, "That Tang Wulin..."

"Hmm?" Chu Nan looked at her.

Gu Yue changed her tune: "It's nothing."

After walking for a while, Gu Yue finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Are you... angry with me?"

Chu Nan looked at her, puzzled. "What are you angry about?"

Gu Yue lowered her head, twisting the hem of her clothes with her fingers, her voice tinged with unease: "I brought danger here, and almost got you involved..."

Chu Nan waved his hand, his tone relaxed: "It's okay, I'm fine too. But be careful in the future, don't be too reckless in team operations."

Gu Yue nodded, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

She walked with her head down, her mind churning with countless emotions: "The Dragon God isn't angry with me... thank goodness. But he seems to care a lot about those humans..."

Tang Wulin, Tang San's son, possesses the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King... He must never be allowed to get close to the Dragon God. This is just the beginning.

She looked up at Chu Nan's back and recalled his figure when he fought in the Spirit Ascension Platform—his silver-gray dragon claws tore through space, and his dragon might filled the air. At that moment, he really resembled the legendary Dragon God.

Her gaze softened unconsciously: "However, the Dragon God looks so cool in battle..."

He shook his head, clearing his mind of distractions: "The important thing now is to restore the Dragon God's memories and bring him back to our side. These humans... will be our enemies sooner or later."

Chu Nan walked ahead, completely unaware of the complex inner thoughts of the girl behind him. However, if he knew that Gu Yue was secretly praising him in her heart for "how handsome he looked in battle," he would probably turn around and run back to the Spirit Pagoda on the spot—this girl had already ruined her teammates, and now she was even infatuated with him? Love-struck is terrifying.

As the sun set, their shadows gradually faded into the distance.
