Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 318 Liu Erlong vs. Crimson Flame Demon Flood Dragon

A few days later, Ye Liangchen and his group ventured deep into the Sunset Forest, where they encountered even more powerful soul beasts.

"Roar...roar..."

"Awoo..."

"rustle…"

The powerful soul beasts, some crawling on the ground and some flying in the sky, sensed the presence of humans and began to surround Ye Liangchen and his group.

"How terrifying!"

The three little girls shrank back in fear as they heard the roars of the spirit beasts.

"Sizzle...rustle..."

Suddenly, a giant datura snake, as thick as a bucket, darted out from the side woods and launched an attack on Ye Liangchen.

"Whoosh..."

"Bang…"

Ye Liangchen took a sidestep to dodge the snake's head, then punched the datura snake in its vital spot, sending it flying more than ten meters away.

Poseidon wanted to protect the three little girls and didn't make a move. Besides, a 20,000-year-old Datura serpent was no match for the little ones.

"Orochi, you're finished."

"Bang bang... Crash..."

Ye Liangchen rushed forward, grabbed the tail of the datura snake, and lashed it to the ground like a whip.

"Sizzle..."

The giant snake felt as if its body had fallen apart, and it was in excruciating pain, constantly making groaning sounds. It had only wanted a good meal, but it had unexpectedly kicked a hornet's nest.

"Orochi, I had a great time today, so I won't kill you."

"Go on."

Seeing the giant snake being whipped until it was dizzy and disoriented, Ye Liangchen swung the snake's body around in circles and then flung it away into the distance.

"Splash..."

"rustle…"

The datura snake was flung hundreds of meters away, crashing into many trees and feeling as if its bones were shattered. After recovering, it frantically fled, fearing that it would perish if it didn't leave.

"Splash... Roar... Splash..."

The giant snake's frantic escape alarmed the other onlookers, who realized that the human boy was a formidable character. So they all fled, and in an instant, rocks flew everywhere, dust billowed, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

"Young master, you're amazing!"

Seeing Ye Liangchen's violent battle scene, the three girls, Xiaoli, Xiaoling, and Xiaoyun, were filled with excitement, waving their little hands and shouting with joy.

"This is nothing, don't take it to heart." Ye Liangchen smiled calmly and urged the group to continue.

After Ye Liangchen's attack, the spirit beasts in the vicinity dared not approach, allowing everyone to have some peace and quiet. Ye Liangchen was not idle either; he walked along, picking some spiritual herbs as he went.

"It's so quiet here!"

When the group arrived at a valley, they found no signs of any spirit beast activity. Only a gentle breeze rustled through the bushes and leaves, creating a very quiet atmosphere. This was highly unusual in the dangerous spirit beast forest.

"It seems we've trespassed into the territory of a powerful soul beast."

Ye Liangchen scanned the area with his mental power and indeed discovered a powerful aura emanating from several hundred meters away.

"Young master, but there aren't any spirit beasts here?" Little Tanuki asked curiously.

"Because this soul beast is too powerful, other soul beasts dare not come to this area," Poseidon explained to the three girls.

"rustle…"

Just then, a mound of earth several hundred meters away was moving, approaching Ye Liangchen and his group.

"Xiao Chen, use your Golden Light Eye Technique to see what kind of soul beast is that underground?"

Poseidon also sensed a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast approaching and immediately waved for everyone to stop.

"My God! That mound of dirt is moving?"

The three of them, Xiao Li, hid behind Poseidon and Ye Liangchen, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, terrified.

"Whoosh..."

"It's actually a cave demon spider with over 60,000 years of cultivation. No wonder there are no other soul beasts within a radius of two or three thousand meters. It seems this big guy sees us as prey."

Ye Liangchen activated the Divine Light of Illusion, and in an instant, golden light shot out from his eyes. Through the pile of soil in front of him, he saw a huge underground demon pearl slowly moving underground.

Upon seeing the age of the Cave Demon Pearl, Ye Liangchen immediately recalled that in the original story, Tang San had killed two Cave Demon Spiders in Sunset Forest. One was ten thousand years old, and the other was a Cave Demon Spider King with a cultivation of over fifty thousand years. The one in front of him was clearly the latter.

"A cave demon spider with a cultivation level of 60,000 years is already an extremely powerful soul beast."

"Xiao Chen, put the three girls away, just in case. When we fight that soul beast later, the powerful aftershocks of the battle will be too much for them to handle."

Poseidon sensed that the cave spider was very powerful, with combat strength at least at the level of a high-level human Soul Douluo. Although he could protect the three little girls from injury, if other powerful ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts came, accidents might happen. So he immediately told Ye Liangchen to put the three little girls away.

"Young master, please put us inside quickly!"

The three little girls' legs were trembling; they were clearly terrified.

"No problem. In the coming period, we will encounter increasingly powerful ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts. You will be staying in a spatial treasure for a long time, so don't panic."

Ye Liangchen checked the game's pet space and found that the Demon Whale King appeared in a separate space. So he decided to put the three girls in it.

"Keep these Soul Power Pills safe. You can eat one if you get hungry."

"Buzzing..."

Ye Liangchen gave some Soul Power Pills to the three girls, then took their hands one by one and, with a thought, directly put them into his game pet space.

Sure enough, after taking the three girls in, it was discovered that each of them was in an independent space, not in the same space as the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, otherwise it would have frightened them.

"Whoosh...!"

Just as Ye Liangchen put the three little girls into the game space, a huge black shadow suddenly sprang up from the pile of dirt in front of him, spitting out a black light that transformed into a giant black net that covered the two of them.

"Big Spider, you have no sportsmanship, you resort to sneak attacks."

"Dance of the Wind Swords"

Ye Liangchen pulled Poseidon back twenty meters in an instant, activating the wind element power within his body to create a wind sword, which he then used to slash at the giant net.

"Huff huff..."

In an instant, a massive wind sword whipped up a violent tornado, shredding the spiderweb cage of the cave spider in just a few moments.

"Big spider, your cage isn't very powerful."

Looking at the cave spider that was over five meters long, Ye Liangchen thought, "It really is a spider demon!"

"Whoosh..."

After its initial web-cage attack failed, the Cave Spider immediately swung its two long, scythe-like legs at Ye Liangchen.

"Ten thousand leaves fly and flowers flow."

"Huff huff..."

Ye Liangchen formed hand seals, which transformed into countless green leaves that intertwined into several giant green pythons, which then strangled the cave spider.

"Clang clang..."

The sharp blades formed from green leaves struck the cave spider, producing a series of metallic clanging sounds.

"Squeak..."

The Cave Spider King had never encountered such an attack before, and it kept swinging its long legs to block the sharp blades.

"Xiao Chen, should I help?"

Poseidon sensed that this Earth Demon Spider King was quite powerful, strong enough to be considered the ninth spirit ring of an ordinary Title Douluo.

"No need, I'll practice first."

Ye Liangchen casually engaged in battle with the Cave Demon Spider King, sensing that the opponent's strength was nothing special.

"Bang…"

"Whoosh..."

Just then, the Earth Demon Pearl King burst forth with a burst of black light, scattering the green leaves that were strangling it, and then it burrowed into the soil and fled in a frenzy.

"Xiao Chen, the big spider has run away."

Poseidon kept her mental focus on the Cave Spider King, sensing that this giant spider was quite cunning, running away when it couldn't win.

"Sister Bobo, she must have sensed that your aura was too strong, so she had no choice but to run away."

"Since it ran away, we won't fight it."

Ye Liangchen originally didn't want to kill this Cave Demon Spider King, after all, it wasn't easy for the creature to cultivate for over 60,000 years.

"All right!"

Poseidon nodded, and then continued walking deeper into the forest with Ye Liangchen.

"rustle…"

After the two left, the Cave Spider King quietly crawled out of the ground, looked into the distance, and thought: This spider king is terrified. How could that human be so perverted?

……

A day later, Ye Liangchen and Poseidon rested by a small lake and ate some grilled fish to replenish their energy.

"roar…"

"Bang bang..."

"ha…"

Just then, the sound of fierce fighting came from two kilometers ahead, and it sounded like a woman hunting a soul beast.

"Whoosh..."

Poseidon and Ye Liangchen immediately flew into the air and headed towards the place where the fight was taking place.

"Why is it her?"

Several hundred meters away from where the flying beasts were fighting, Ye Liangchen discovered that the person who had hunted them was Liu Erlong.

"Xiao Chen, do you know her?"

Poseidon looked at the fiery beauty fighting a 70,000-year-old Crimson Flame Demon Dragon and felt that her beauty was no less than his own.

"Her name is Liu Erlong. She is the illegitimate daughter of Yu Luomian, the second-in-command of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan. ... Two years ago, her soul power reached level 76. Now she should have advanced to the Soul Douluo level."

Ye Liangchen introduced Liu Erlong's identity to Poseidon.

"It seems that she came to Sunset Forest to hunt down this Crimson Flame Demon Dragon and use it as her eighth spirit ring. She's really bold to hunt such a powerful spirit beast all by herself."

When Poseidon heard about Liu Erlong's experiences, he felt that she had also had a tough time.

Poseidon admired Liu Erlong, this strong woman, for being able to support an advanced soul master academy.

"Sister Bobo, I'll go help her first. With her current strength, she can't possibly handle that 70,000-year-old Crimson Flame Demon Dragon."

Ye Liangchen summoned the Goddess of Life Martial Soul and flew towards Liu Erlong.

"Be careful," Poseidon warned, then flew over as well.

"roar…"

"Bang bang... Ahh..."

Meanwhile, Liu Erlong was struck by the tail of the Black Flame Demon Flood Dragon and sent flying over a hundred meters away, almost breaking all the bones in her body.

"puff…"

"How can this beast be so powerful?"

"I was too hasty; it seems I'm going to die here today."

After Liu Erlong crashed into several tree trunks, he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. He had been fighting the Crimson Flame Demon Dragon for nearly half an hour, but he hadn't gained any advantage and had instead been seriously injured.

"roar…"

Just as Liu Erlong was seriously injured, the Crimson Flame Demon Flood Dragon attacked her again.

"The True Form of the Crimson Dragon".

"Come on! Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me."

Liu Erlong disregarded her severe injuries and immediately unleashed her Martial Soul True Form, transforming into a mother tyrannosaurus, intending to make one last desperate attempt.

"Holy Light Slash".

"Whoosh..."

In the blink of an eye, a giant green sword descended from the sky and struck the Crimson Flame Demon Dragon.

"roar…"

"Splash..."

The Crimson Flame Demon Dragon was ambushed, and a wound appeared on its huge body, causing it immense pain. It then rolled on the ground in agony.

"Xiao Chen! It's you!"

Liu Erlong looked up and saw an incomparably handsome young man, and was immediately overjoyed.

"Dean Erlong, what a coincidence!"

"Life is being restored."

Ye Liangchen stood above Liu Erlong, seeing that the other was covered in injuries, and immediately activated his fifth soul skill to heal the other.

"Whoosh..."

"roar…"

Poseidon stretched out her hand and pressed it down on the Crimson Flame Demon Dragon. Her powerful soul force rendered the soul beast unable to move.

"Buzzing..."

With Ye Liangchen's life-restoring skill healing, Liu Erlong's injuries recovered at a visible speed, and she was fully recovered in no time.

"Xiao Chen, thank you. Come here, let Auntie give you a hug."

After Liu Erlong was fully recovered, she was in a great mood and immediately rushed towards Ye Liangchen, wanting to hug the little guy in her arms.

"Dean Erlong, you'd better hurry up and hunt down this soul beast!" Ye Liangchen dodged Liu Erlong in a flash.

"Pfft...! Why are you running away? You've grown up now, are you shy?"

Looking at Ye Liangchen, who had become even more handsome, Liu Erlong found him incredibly pleasing to the eye and felt a sense of joy in her heart and mind.

"Xiao Chen, aren't you going to introduce this beautiful lady to me?"

Liu Erlong looked at Poseidon next to him and was immediately struck by her beauty and elegance.

"You should hunt down this spirit beast first and advance to the Soul Douluo level," Poseidon advised Liu Erlong.

"Okay! Then I won't be polite."

"I, Liu Erlong, owe you a favor."

Liu Erlong smiled at Poseidon, then launched an attack directly on the Crimson Flame Demon Flood Dragon.

"Dean Erlong, I'll give you a boost, an 80% increase in all attributes."

"Blessings of Life".

Ye Liangchen's second soul ring lit up, and in an instant, a green light merged into Liu Erlong's body, instantly increasing her strength countless times.

"Haha...! That's real power, Xiao Chen, thank you."

"Crimson Flame Demon Flood Dragon, you beat me up so badly just now, let's see how I deal with you now!"

"The True Form of the Crimson Dragon".

Now fully recovered and with her power increased several times over, Liu Erlong immediately unleashed her Martial Soul True Form and charged towards the Crimson Flame Demon Dragon.

"ha……"

"Roar..."

Once the mother tyrannosaurus goes berserk, it is incredibly terrifying. At this moment, the Crimson Flame Demon Dragon became the target of Liu Erlong's venting of anger. In an instant, chaos erupted, dust flew everywhere, and the scene was extremely brutal.

"Xiao Chen, this woman is too violent."

Poseidon watched as Liu Erlong brutally attacked the soul beast, just like Ye Liangchen had previously beaten the Mandala Snake. She was simply a super tough woman, too ruthless.

"Sister Bobo, her martial soul is a fire dragon. It's probably because of the influence of the fire attribute that she has a bit of a temper. This is normal."

Looking at Liu Erlong transformed into a female Tyrannosaurus Rex, Ye Liangchen felt that she was now a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex soul beast, even more terrifying than a tigress.
