Douluo V: Starting with daily check-ins, I'm trying to trick Xiao Wu into becoming my wife.

"Yu Xiaogang!! You're having fun messing with me?! Well then, today I'll make you feel like you're in heaven!!"

A furious shout echoed throughout the inner courtyard, unleashing over twenty years of pent-up love, hate, and grievances. Liu Erlong no longer suppressed her emotions and decisively activated her innate martial spirit.

"Crimson Dragon Martial Soul, Possess!"

hum!

A scorching red soul force instantly swept across the entire area, and a wave of sweltering heat swept over everyone, distorting the surrounding air. Fine, pale red dragon scales rapidly spread and grew along her arms, their luster sharp and their texture hard, and an extremely domineering dragon's might spread wildly throughout the courtyard.

The gentle, mature charm that had just been present, tinged with resentment, vanished completely, replaced by the innate ferocity and ruthlessness of the Fire Dragon Martial Soul. She raised her hand to wipe away the remaining tear stains on her cheeks, the last trace of vulnerability in her eyes completely disappearing, leaving only the raging anger and endless hatred that had accumulated over twenty years.

Twenty years of waiting, twenty years of forbearance, twenty years of self-torture—all collapsed at this moment.

That ill-fated engagement, that cruel twist of fate, that irresponsible escape—these became shackles that bound her for half her life. Now, upon their reunion, old grievances resurface. She no longer cares about past affections; her only desire is to settle all scores with Yu Xiaogang.

The wind howled, and the sound of it tearing through the air was deafening!

Liu Erlong's figure suddenly exploded, transforming into a sharp crimson afterimage. Her body was wreathed in raging crimson dragon fire, carrying a world-destroying power as she charged straight towards Yu Xiaogang at the back of the crowd. This attack was unrestrained, each move deadly, a decisive strike aimed entirely at killing her opponent. It was swift, domineering, and intimidating to the entire audience.

The expressions of everyone in the courtyard changed drastically instantly, the air froze, and a deathly silence enveloped the entire inner courtyard.

Flander frowned, his expression complex, watching the out-of-control Liu Erlong, his heart filled with helplessness and bitterness. He knew Liu Erlong's personality all too well: she loved intensely and hated deeply. Today, her pent-up resentment had erupted, and no one could easily stop her. He wanted to step forward to stop her, but looking at the entanglement of their lives, he ultimately stopped, unsure how to intervene in this ill-fated relationship.

Among the crowd, Yu Xiaogang was stiff all over, his limbs were ice cold, and his mind was blank.

Faced with the overwhelming, scorching dragon's might and deadly intent, this usually composed and rational mastermind completely lost his usual calm. Twenty years of inner turmoil, twenty years of avoidance, culminated in endless guilt and panic when confronted with Liu Erlong's rage. He opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but found a thousand words stuck in his throat, ultimately leaving him frozen in place, resigned to his fate.

At the critical moment, a tall and upright young man suddenly darted out from the group and resolutely stood in front of Yu Xiaogang.

"Teacher, watch out!"

Tang San's gaze was firm, his expression solemn, and he stepped forward without hesitation.

In his heart, Yu Xiaogang was his mentor who taught him and guided him onto the path of a Soul Master, showing him the direction of his cultivation.

Having witnessed his mentor trapped in a deadly predicament, he could not possibly stand idly by. Even if the opponent was an unfathomably powerful and enraged expert, he had to step forward and protect his teacher.

tread!

With his feet firmly planted on the bluestone ground, Tang San activated his soul power at full speed, and his body surged with blue light.

"Second Soul Skill - Ghost Vine!"

A dense array of dark blue vines burst forth from the ground, crisscrossing and spreading across the sky, instantly forming a thick vine barrier that firmly blocked their path.

Countless blue silver grasses stretched out wildly, their roots firmly embedded in the ground, layer upon layer, trying to completely block Liu Erlong's offensive.

Tang San's eyes were calm as he manipulated the countless blue silver grasses to quickly entangle and seal the enraged Liu Erlong, attempting to use the characteristics of his control-type martial soul to trap her and buy Yu Xiaogang a moment to breathe.

However, Tang San's combat power was ultimately a drop in the ocean compared to Liu Erlong's complete rampage.

At this moment, Liu Erlong was filled with old grudges and anger, and his killing intent was fierce. He didn't care who was blocking his way at all.

The obstruction from a mere junior was, in her eyes, fragile and easily shattered.

A cold glint flashed in her eyes, and she charged forward with undiminished speed, accompanied by raging flames.

"Overestimating yourself!"

With a cold shout, the crimson dragon flames around Liu Erlong suddenly surged several times over, and the scalding flames instantly enveloped her, transforming into a terrifying fire dragon vortex.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A violent explosion rang out, shaking the entire inner courtyard.

Tang San's prized defense proved as fragile as withered grass and rotten wood before the extreme dragon fire and domineering dragon might. The dense, dark blue vines were instantly ignited and burned to ashes the moment they touched the crimson flames, serving no purpose whatsoever as to hinder them.

The layers of vine barriers crumbled one after another, offering no resistance whatsoever.

A terrifying heatwave and a powerful shockwave of soul energy swept out, slamming hard into Tang San's chest.

puff--

A mouthful of warm blood gushed from Tang San's mouth, his body staggered violently, and he flew backward several meters uncontrollably before crashing heavily onto the bluestone ground.

His entire body felt as if his bones and muscles had been shattered, and intense soreness swept over him. His soul power surged chaotically within him, and his meridians throbbed with pain.

Liu Erlong's momentum had not subsided, her eyes remained cold, and with one step, she instantly closed in on Tang San. A terrifying pressure crashed down, firmly suppressing Tang San to the ground.

Tang San's body was stiff, his limbs felt as heavy as mountains, and he was unable to get up. His soul power was completely stagnant, and it was extremely difficult to even mobilize a trace of soul power.

He gritted his teeth, looked up at the furious woman before him, and was filled with shock.

He had long guessed that Liu Erlong was extremely strong, but he never imagined that she would be this powerful. With a mere gesture, she easily shattered his full defense and even completely suppressed him. The difference in their strength was like an insurmountable chasm.

The entire room fell silent.

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others all had their pupils shrink in shock, their faces filled with horror. They instinctively held their breath, not daring to make the slightest move. No one had expected that Tang San's all-out effort to stop them would be unable to withstand even a single blow from their opponent, and he would be instantly crushed and suppressed.

Only Ao Yin stood quietly to the side, a hint of amusement in his eyes, calmly watching the scene unfold before him.

"The nail that sticks out gets hammered down, Tang San, you're getting impatient!"

Liu Erlong's Crimson Dragon Martial Soul originated from the top-tier Beast Martial Soul Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. It is an extremely rare mutated dragon Martial Soul with formidable combat power and pure bloodline.

Let alone Tang San, even Flander would find it extremely difficult to deal with him!

This was also the first time Ao Yin had encountered a true Dragon Clan Martial Soul Master since awakening the Dark Sacred Dragon Martial Soul.

Yu Xiaogang silently lowered his head, turned around and retreated behind the crowd, while Flander stood in front of Liu Erlong!

"Flander, for your sake, I'll give you one chance! Give me a reason!"

She couldn't understand why, after so many years, Flander and Yu Xiaogang could still come knocking on her door as if nothing had happened!

"Erlong, please don't do this! We're doing this all for...the child!"

Flanders gave a wry smile.

"child?"

"Hehe! Oh, so you already have kids?"
