Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 366 A Sentimental Woman

"A 100,000-year-old blue-scaled dragon?"

Shui Bing'er, Feng Xiaotian, and the others looked at the tall, handsome blue-haired man in front of them. They never expected that he was actually a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form. All the 100,000-year-old soul beasts they had seen before were female, and after transforming into human form, they were all more beautiful than the last, such as Xiaobai, Yingmei, and Xiaowu. They had never seen a male soul beast in human form before, and they were very curious.

Xiao Lan felt a little embarrassed by everyone's stares, as if he were a monster, but he didn't know what to say.

"I know you. My people sent back a message saying that a 100,000-year-old dragon had entered Seagod Island. I knew immediately that Ye Liangchen had brought you here."

Xiao Bai looked at the 100,000-year-old dragon and sighed that its strength was about the same as his own, which was quite impressive.

"Needless to say? Without a master to guide me, even if I had 100 times the courage, I wouldn't dare to venture into Seagod Island."

As fellow 100,000-year-old sea spirit beasts, Xiao Lan also had a good impression of the Demon Soul Great White Shark King.

"Besides taming Xiao Lan, did you encounter anything else this time?" Poseidon looked at Ye Liangchen with a curious expression.

Shui Bing'er and her group were the same, after all, everyone often saw Ye Liangchen causing all sorts of big incidents.

"This time on Purple Spirit Island, we encountered people from Rakshasa Island, including a level 96 Title Douluo named Hei Ming, as well as a peak Soul Douluo and three Soul Saints..."

Seeing everyone's curiosity, Ye Liangchen had no choice but to tell them what had happened on his trip to Ziling Island.

"Rakshasa Island is truly powerful!"

Everyone was very surprised to hear that Rakshasa Island could send out a level 96 Title Douluo at will.

"Are you alright?"

Poseidon, Shui Bing'er, and the others looked at Ye Liangchen with concern. This guy was able to kill a level 96 Title Douluo, which meant he was at the pinnacle of the continent.

"What could possibly be wrong with me?"

Ye Liangchen is a cheat code; killing a level 96 Title Douluo is like child's play for him.

"Sect Leader, tell us, how strong are the experts on Rakshasa Island?"

Feng Xiaotian, Xie Yue, and the others also asked curiously, saying that they should learn about the experts from Rakshasa Island before facing them in the future.

"That Black Nether Douluo's martial soul is the Three-Headed Bat King, and his ninth soul ring is also 100,000 years old. He was once a Fallen One from the City of Slaughter, so his overall strength is quite formidable."

Ye Liangchen doesn't yet know the strength of the other Title Douluos on Rakshasa Island, but based on the strength shown by Black Nether Douluo, the others must be quite formidable as well.

"I've heard that the Fallen Ones in the Killing City are all vicious villains with formidable fighting power."

Upon learning that the titled Douluo of Rakshasa Island all came from the City of Slaughter, everyone realized they couldn't let their guard down when they encountered them in the future.

"Little Blue, right? When Master was fighting the enemy, did you lend a hand?" Shadow Demon walked over and stared at Little Blue.

"No, I didn't know my master at that time, so I could only watch from afar."

Little Blue quickly shook its head, saying that it had even wanted to eat its master back then!

"Hehe, I bet you wanted to make your master and that titled Douluo both suffer heavy losses so you could reap the benefits." Yingmei immediately guessed why Xiaolan was subdued by her master; it must be the same reason she was driven by curiosity.

"That's right, and then I was subdued by my master, but I'm doing it willingly now," Little Blue nodded.

"It's okay! I was like that before too. We all met our master when we met. We're all the master's pets. From now on, you'll have to call me 'Big Sister'."

Yingmei directly assumed the role of the eldest sister, ordering Xiaolan to be her follower. Her smug demeanor was like that of a proud white swan.

Xiao Lan looked at Ying Mei's stunning face and voluptuous figure, and indeed, as the mermaid had said, she was incredibly beautiful. At that moment, he felt that this tigress, like the mermaid, was lusting after her master's body.

"We're all 100,000-year-old soul beasts, why should I call you 'sister'?"

Xiao Lan also raised her head arrogantly, glared at Ying Mei, and thought: We're all our master's pets, so why should I call you brother?

"Oh ho! You're still not convinced? Then I'll beat you until you submit."

Shadow Demon rolled up her sleeves, ready to teach this dragon a lesson and show him the terror of a tigress.

"Fight if you want, who's afraid of who?"

Little Blue was equally unconvinced. Although she couldn't defeat this 100,000-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, she couldn't lose in terms of momentum.

"Xiao Lan, don't be a coward, go for it!" Xiao Bai immediately chimed in from the side, encouraging Xiao Lan.

"Little White, you and Little Blue come at me together, I'll still crush you both." Yingmei looked at the two 100,000-year-old soul beasts with domineering arrogance, not taking them seriously at all.

"Hahaha...! Hurry up and put on a show for us."

Shui Bing'er and the others found the scene of the three 100,000-year-old soul beasts playing around particularly amusing, so they all showed expressions of watching a show.

"Alright, stop fooling around."

Poseidon waved his hand, stopping the three 100,000-year-old soul beasts from causing trouble.

"Fine, you're no match for me, so I won't bully you anymore, lest Sister Bobo say I'm bullying the weak."

Seeing that Poseidon had spoken, Shadow Demon certainly couldn't bully Little Blue, otherwise she might get a spanking.

"Haha...!" Everyone was amused by Yingmei's arrogant demeanor.

……

Ye Liangchen is back. Everyone returns to the villa and holds a party to celebrate.

After Shui Bing'er and the others completed the assessment, apart from receiving the first level of soul power as a reward from the divine test, their soul power did not increase much during this period of cultivation. Except for Bai Chenxiang, Huo Wushuang and a few others who increased their soul power by one level, Shui Bing'er, Feng Xiaotian and their group only increased their soul power by about half a level.

The current overall strength of everyone is as follows: Jin Ling'er is at peak level 85, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er are at peak level 84, Zhu Zhuqing, Xue Wu, Yu Hairou, Ye Lingling, Qiu Ruoshui, Gu Qingbo, Shen Liuyu, and Dugu Yan have all reached peak level 79 and can break through level 80 at any time, Feng Xiaotian, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan are at level 77, Bai Chenxiang is at level 73, and Huo Wushuang and his sister, Jin Yue'er, Qing Ming, and the Qian Gu brothers are at level 74.

Besides, Zhu Zhuyun, Zhu Zhulin, and Xiaoli have been undergoing the Sea God's Light Transcendence Trial for eight months. Zhu Zhuyun is now a level 62 Soul Emperor, while Zhu Zhulin has reached level 56 Soul Power. Two months ago, Poseidon had Ye Liangchen provide her with a 20,000-year-old seal Soul Ring, which she absorbed. This girl's current Soul Ring combination is three purple and two black, incredibly powerful. With four months remaining, the sisters have already climbed over 70 steps, and completing 108 steps within a year shouldn't be a problem.

As for Poseidon's three little maids, due to their lower strength, their soul power increased exceptionally quickly while cultivating in the light of the sea god. They are now level 39 Soul Masters and will soon break through to Soul Sect. They have already completed the climbing staircase assessment and have now started the second assessment, which also requires them to climb 20 steps within a year.

Poseidon was very satisfied with the performance of the Zhu sisters and the three maids. Afterwards, she specially obtained ten-thousand-year whale glue and had Ye Liangchen add spiritual herbs to refine it into a medicinal liquid for the girls to take to temper their bodies. The purpose was also to enable the three maids to absorb ten-thousand-year-level soul rings in the fourth ring.

"Are you now planning to begin the third round of assessment?"

After understanding everyone's strength, Ye Liangchen asked Shui Bing'er for her opinion.

"Let's see what the third test is first?" Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, and the others exchanged glances, then used their mental power to communicate with the mark between their eyebrows.

"Whoosh...! The third test: Tidal Body Tempering?"

When everyone saw the content of the third section of the assessment, they were completely dumbfounded.

"The Tidal Body Tempering Trial involves enduring the impact of raging waves in a perilous environment, the purpose of which is to temper the body..."

Poseidon explained in detail, letting everyone understand the true content of this test.

"Brother Ye, what is your third test?"

Jin Ling'er asked Ye Liangchen, thinking to herself: That so-called Tide Body Refinement is definitely useless against this guy.

"Xiao Chen has already completed the assessment."

Before Ye Liangchen could reply, Poseidon answered first to avoid the girls asking too many questions. After all, the little guy's third test involved cultivating a martial soul fusion technique with himself, and he couldn't let everyone know that.

"So, you're already at level 97 in soul power?" Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er looked at Ye Liangchen, marveling at how quickly the little guy's strength had increased.

"That's right!" Ye Liangchen nodded.

"Great Master, let's begin the third assessment!"

Upon seeing this, Shui Bing'er immediately requested Poseidon to initiate the Tidal Body Refinement Assessment, as she needed to seize the time to improve her strength.

As the leader, Shui Bing'er decided to start the third assessment, and the others followed suit. Jin Ling'er and Shui Yue'er, who originally wanted to rest for two or three days, also obediently followed the arrangement.

"Okay, everyone, follow me."

"Xiao Chen, you stay here and teach Ya Li how to cultivate sonic power."

Seeing that no one wanted to waste time, Poseidon signaled Ye Liangchen to stay behind and urged everyone to head towards the direction of the Angry Waves Abyss.

"Xiao Chen, is it okay?"

Yali was incredibly excited at the thought of being able to cultivate the little guy's amazing sonic power.

"Of course you can."

"Little Blue, Shadow Demon, you two will set off with the main group and take care of everyone in place of the High Priest."

Ye Liangchen let the two pet soul beasts set off with everyone. After all, Poseidon was busy enough taking care of so many people by herself. With these two helping out, things would be a bit easier.

"Yes, Master."

Ye Liangchen spoke, and the two pet soul beasts immediately chased after Shui Bing'er and her main force.

"Xiao Chen, come with me to the Sea God Temple. Lately, the High Priest has been going out to practice the soul skills you taught me, leaving me alone in the Sea God Temple. I'm so bored."

"No problem, I'll teach you how to practice sonic wave techniques. You can use it to pass the time from now on."

Seeing that Shui Bing'er and the others had all left the manor, Ya Li and Ye Liangchen also left the manor and headed towards the Sea God Mountain.

Along the way, Yali held Ye Liangchen's hand and strolled slowly on the beach. She was very happy. She used to be alone in the Temple of Poseidon and had experienced the pain that Poseidon had gone through. Now that the little guy was with her, she was not so lonely.

When Ye Liangchen arrived at the Sea God Temple, the Sea God Trident was still shining with golden light, illuminating the entire temple. After he activated the trident, the golden light seemed to have never gone out, completely different from the pitch black light before.

"Xiao Chen, let me play you a piece first, and you can see how my musical talent is."

Yali first poured Ye Liangchen a cup of fine tea, then took out a harp and began to play a piece of music.

"Ding-dong..."

As Ye Liangchen listened to Ya Li's piano playing, he sensed a melancholy in her music.

"Sister Li, your piano playing is very sad."

Ye Liangchen guessed that the woman was probably missing her deceased relatives and seemed to feel sorry for Poseidon's past loneliness. There were probably only two things that could make her put such sorrowful emotions into the music.

This woman's musical talent is on par with Tang Yuehua's.

"Xiao Chen, you guessed right. I was born on a small island. When I was a baby, one day, a volcano on the island suddenly erupted... I was raised by the Grand Elder, and she is my only family."

Yali slowly described her tragic life to Ye Liangchen, two lines of clear tears streaming down her face.

"Sister Li, life is unpredictable, and all sorts of things will happen... Live well for your loved ones!"

Ye Liangchen didn't know how to comfort this unfortunate woman, so he could only give her a hug.

"Xiao Chen, thank you."

"Now I still have the Great Offering, and all of you, so I won't feel lonely anymore. I will live well."

Yali hugged Ye Liangchen tightly, feeling very touched. Shui Bing'er and the others had told her that this little guy was also a pitiful orphan, but he always brought sunshine to the people around him. He was truly a warm-hearted man.

……

After comforting Yali, Ye Liangchen had already figured out how to teach her sonic power.

"Sister Li, I've witnessed your musical talent, so I suggest you practice sonic power using... this method."

"The most important point in cultivating sonic power is to use the sound of the zither to carry one's thoughts."

Based on the music Ya Li had played earlier, Ye Liangchen instructed her to infuse her sonic skills with sorrowful thoughts. This way, once she successfully mastered the skill and unleashed it, her enemies might burst into tears, creating a truly spectacular scene.

"To convey one's thoughts through the sound of the zither?" Ya Li was very curious about Ye Liangchen's profound statement.

"Yes, the most important thing about sound wave kung fu is to use sound to carry thoughts. People's thoughts include good thoughts, evil thoughts, love thoughts, desire thoughts, etc. If your thoughts are full of sorrow, then you can use that kind of thought to enter the music."

"Sea Witch Lina is an optimist... When she uses her sonic attack, she can make others enter a dancing state, just like the move I used on you before."

"If you add sadness to your sonic power training, once you succeed, people will definitely cry when you unleash it."

Ye Liangchen explained his idea to Yali in detail.

"So it turns out that practicing your sonic power is actually related to one's personality. That's amazing."

Upon hearing about the Sea Witch's sonic cultivation method, Ya Li couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of Ye Liangchen's technique.

"Ding-dong..."

To help Ya Li better cultivate her sonic power, Ye Liangchen recalled a melancholic melody he had heard in his previous life, so he chose the song "The Tomb of the Passionate Lover" as Ya Li's ultimate weapon for cultivating her sonic power.

"Xiao Chen, I really want to cry."

As Yali listened to Ye Liangchen play "The Tomb of the Passionate Lover," she felt even more sorrowful than when she played it herself, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"Sister Li, don't cry! You need to understand this carefully!"

Looking at Ya Li, whose eyes were brimming with tears, Ye Liangchen sighed, thinking how sentimental this woman truly was.

"Okay! I'll do as you say, sister."

During the following period, Yali devoted herself wholeheartedly to cultivation, and beautiful yet melancholic music continuously emanated from the Sea God Temple.

"Have you noticed? Lady Yali's zither playing seems even more beautiful now."

"It's a beautiful song, but every time I hear it, I feel an urge to cry, and I can't help but shed tears..."

After Ya Li started using the song "The Tomb of Passion" to practice her sonic skills, the Zhu sisters and Xiao Li, who were taking their test at the foot of the mountain, had a hard time.

Because the Temple of Poseidon is enclosed, and the exit faces the 1001 steps of Poseidon Mountain, it is like a giant megaphone. The sound of the zither comes out of the temple like a loudspeaker, carrying very far.

"It seems you were also disturbed by Sister Li's piano playing."

Seeing that the music of "The Tomb of Passion" was quite powerful, Ye Liangchen flew down from Sea God Mountain to help Zhu Zhuyun and the others avoid the interference of the music.

"Young master, we are alright."

Although the girls didn't know why Yali was playing such sad music all day, they didn't dare to ask.

"Hmm, judging from your situation, you're definitely being disturbed. Here's what we'll do: I'll block your hearing so you won't be bothered by the piano music."

"Swish..."

Ye Liangchen knew that Ya Li's zither music would definitely interfere with everyone's cultivation, so he directly tapped the girls a few times to block their hearing.

"Thank you, young master."

The Zhu sisters and Xiao Li were deeply moved; this extraordinary young man had actually used such a method to help them avoid interference.

When the devilishly handsome young man's fingers touched their bodies, the girls felt a strange stimulation, their faces instantly turning red, and their bodies trembling involuntarily. Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhulin, in particular, felt it even more strongly, their eyes almost welling up with tears.

"You're welcome. I'll seal your hearing every day during this period so you can cultivate in the Light of the Sea God without any disturbance."

Ye Liangchen smiled calmly, thinking: It's just sealing your hearing acupoints, why are you shaking?

"Whoosh..."

To avoid embarrassment, Ye Liangchen flew directly towards the top of the mountain.

"Pfft...! Young master, you're quite the character."

After Ye Liangchen left, the girls looked at each other's flushed faces, smiled at each other, and then stepped into the light of the sea god to challenge their own limits.
