In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 240 New Continent, Dragon Valley

Two weeks later, under the azure sky, a brown-green coastline outlined by the beach and lush vegetation behind it appeared in Zhu Wu's view.

At the highest point is a cylindrical white building, and not far away is a bay where boats are moored.

The two sides are blocked by towering white walls, leaving only a small opening for ships to enter. Behind are various buildings, mostly white castles.

The architectural style is somewhat similar to Europe in his previous life, Zhu Wu thought to himself.

"Ugh!" With a soft cry, the albatrosses around immediately turned and dispersed.

"Let's go there." With that, they flew straight towards the bay.

Before they even got close, a dense barrage of arrows flew towards them, and a large number of soldiers in silver armor surged onto the city wall.

They kept shouting in a language Zhu Wu couldn't understand, their faces solemn, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Zhu Wu immediately revealed his soul rings, concealing them as yellow, purple, and black.

On the city wall, the leading man's expression changed drastically in an instant. He waved his hand and shouted loudly, and the soldiers around him who were drawing their bows immediately stopped.

Zhu Wu flapped his wings, creating a strong wind that deflected the incoming arrows, and then accelerated down the city wall.

With a flash of light, it transformed back into human form.

The armored soldiers standing on the city wall had all knelt down in a large group, looking terrified, and the leading man was no exception.

The language barrier was indeed a problem. Zhu Wu frowned, strode forward, and placed his hand on the man's head. The man lowered his head and closed his eyes as if resigned to his fate. The surrounding soldiers also lowered their heads even further, trembling from time to time, terrified.

"Tianmeng, check his memories," Zhu Wu transmitted his voice to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

"Alright!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm immediately did as instructed, imprinting the man's memories for sharing.

Through reviewing the memories of the three great families and kingdoms, Zhu Wu quickly understood the situation on this continent.

This continent is currently ruled by three powerful Soul Master families, each possessing a Title Douluo-level expert. However, these experts are not called Title Douluos on this continent, but rather Ninth-Order Archmages. An Archmage is someone who can channel magical energy into their cultivation.

Magic is what this continent calls soul power.

Each family is a kingdom, with a structure similar to the feudal dynasties of Europe in my previous life. All resources, including land, are controlled by the three major Soul Master families.

Ordinary people are called commoners, but in reality they are family slaves. As soon as a Soul Master is born, they must swear allegiance.

It can be said that the hierarchy was extremely strict.

This explains why those people were so afraid when they saw him reveal his spirit rings. On this continent, it's almost impossible for a commoner spirit master's first spirit ring to be at the hundred-year level; only members of powerful families have this privilege. Spirit ring resources are tightly controlled, effectively curbing the rise of commoner spirit masters. If a commoner offends a noble, their life or death is entirely in the noble's hands.

This harbor, located at the foot of the western plateau coastline, was under the jurisdiction of a Soul Emperor sent down by the Golden Family. The Golden Family, also known as the Golden Griffin Family, possesses the martial soul of the Golden Griffin and rules the entire western region of the continent.

Further east lies the Black Scorpion Desert, ruled by the Black Scorpion Clan. The eastern part is mostly mountainous and forested, ruled by the Red Dragon Clan.

This seems to differ from the original description. It appears that many things have changed over tens of thousands of years, including the terrain. Zhu Wu sighed inwardly, hoping that the Dragon Valley Small World was indeed connected to this continent during this period. He withdrew his right hand.

"Get up, all of you." He glanced at the silver-armored man and the surrounding soldiers, his tone still relatively gentle.

In the man's memory, he witnessed the lord's cruelty and lust. Since taking office, any pretty commoner woman in the area had been plundered and taken away, and the lord had even imposed some kind of "right of the first night." Several of these soldiers had suffered as a result.

The rest of the women were all of average appearance.

To avoid offending the lord and bringing misfortune upon his entire family, they were forced to make this choice, and were powerless to resist.

No wonder the continent was easily conquered by immigrants from Douluo Continent in the sequel. With the basic foundation so tightly suppressed, it's no wonder that the soul masters of this continent can't become strong if this system continues. Thinking this, he turned to look at the two women and nodded slightly.

"Let's go find a place to get something to eat first."

"What is this gentleman saying? I can't understand a single word," the man who had just stood up with a sigh of relief said, puzzled.

But he still stood obediently to the side, watching Zhu Wu lead the two women down the city wall.

As soon as they stepped off the city wall, a large group of people surged forward from the front. Leading them was a middle-aged man dressed in a magnificent gold and red robe. His gaze swept across the crowd and quickly landed on Zhu Wu and his two companions, whose attire clearly indicated they were not locals, especially on the voluptuous Zi Ji. Although she wore a mask, obscuring her face, her stunning figure and fair skin were undeniable.

Greed instantly rose in his eyes.

He rushed over with his men as soon as he received news that flying spirit beasts were attacking the city, unaware of what was happening afterward.

"My lord, the flying spirit beasts we just saw were actually transformed forms of these three archmages."

The silver-armored man behind him quickly stepped forward to report.

"Take him down!" Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately gave the order. All flying soul masters in the kingdom were officially employed, so even if they needed to notify him, they wouldn't come from the sea.

Without a doubt, these three are just young, uneducated natives from an island who came here to have fun.

How can someone so young have any real ability?

Since we've come to his territory, we shouldn't blame him for being impolite.

The female mage is an indigenous person, so she can be captured and have children with him. As for the men, they can be killed.

"Will you surrender yourselves, or will I, the lord, personally intervene?" As he spoke, he activated his martial spirit, revealing six spirit rings of various colors: yellow, purple, black, and yellow. His gaze roamed unabashedly over the two women behind Zhu Wu, particularly their shapely private parts.

Then Zhu Wuyou saw a flash of silver light in his eyes, felt a sharp pain in his brain, and his consciousness became blurred.

The soldiers around him fainted on the spot.

"!!!" The expressions of the onlookers changed drastically.

Zhu Wu waved his hand, and a ball of flame shot directly at the middle-aged man, who immediately burst into flames.

"Aaaaaah!" The middle-aged man screamed as he regained consciousness.

He was just about to unleash his soul skill to resist.

Zi Ji glanced at him coldly, releasing a terrifying pressure that caused the middle-aged man to kneel on the spot.

"Oh, my lord, I was wrong, please forgive me!" she cried out in terror, begging for mercy.

Zi Ji remained unfazed, watching as the middle-aged man's voice ceased and he finally turned to ashes.

"What a disappointment!" Zhu Wu sneered, a flash of light appearing on his body as he transformed into a bird. "Zi'er, Ling'er, let's go somewhere else."

Long Ling'er nodded and immediately transformed into a small bird.

Zi Ji was even more direct, simply soaring through the air and letting the little birds that Zhu Wu and Long Ling'er had transformed into land on her shoulders before flying away.

The crowd surrounding the "Nine-Nine Steps" was stunned, their voices trembling.

Meanwhile, in the air, Zhu Wu used his mental sharing ability to teach the two women the language of this continent.

After some time, they changed their appearance again and arrived at another human town. After entering, they revealed their Soul Master identity at a pawn shop, pawned some trinkets in exchange for the currency of this continent, and then went into a hotel to properly enjoy the local cuisine.

It's fair to say that it's far inferior to Douluo Continent.

Due to the oppressive control exerted by the aristocratic class, social development on this continent was extremely slow, and almost everything was backward.

However, the fruit was quite good; some of it wasn't available in Douluo Continent, so it was a nice treat.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, they strolled around the city, bought some clothes from this continent to change into, and then continued their journey.

It flew straight towards the plateau to the east.

Zhu Wu had no better options for the road ahead than to explore it thoroughly, cultivating his skills as he went. Fortunately, this was a family trip, with his wife warming his bed every night, making the days less boring and treating it like a honeymoon.

Every forest of spirit beasts and every peak they passed left their mark.

And so, time passed day by day.

It wasn't until a year and a half later, in the Papal Palace of Wuhun City.

"Nana, congratulations." Bibi Dong nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction in her eyes. She raised her scepter lightly, and a thin, externally attached soul bone appeared. "You have successfully proven yourself. This is a reward prepared for you by your teacher, and it is also the expectation that the elders have for you."

"Next, you will face an even more severe test: escaping the City of Slaughter."

"I will certainly live up to everyone's expectations!" Hu Liena said solemnly.

Meanwhile, on another side, atop a series of snow-capped mountains.

"Roar!" A clear dragon's roar suddenly rang out in the air, sounding very excited.

Having already become accustomed to finding many rare treasures thanks to Xiaobai, Zhu Wu immediately turned around and flew with the two women in the direction indicated by Xiaobai's neck.

Before long, we arrived at the top of a snow-capped mountain. Looking around, there was nothing but ice, snow and dark mountains.

Zhu Wu's eyes lit up. He sensed spatial fluctuations—very subtle, but definitely not wrong. After all, having integrated the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger energy crystal into his body as his soul core, he already possessed the ability to utilize spatial attributes. And through years of familiarization, he had further refined his skills, able to sense and manipulate even the subtle spatial elements in the air, let alone the more obvious and proactive spatial fluctuations.

He immediately closed his eyes and activated the Eye of Destiny, which had been further enhanced through his cultivation of the Purple Demon Eye.

His spiritual power spread out and he quickly sensed something.

"Perhaps, we really have found it. Follow me." With that, he quickly descended and disappeared into a crevice in the dark blue ice.

Zi Ji and Long Ling'er's eyes lit up, and they quickly followed.

As they descended, the view ahead grew increasingly deep and dark, and the surrounding chill intensified, but this had no effect on the three of them.

A moment later, Zhu Wu stopped, and Long Ling'er and Zi Ji followed closely to his side.

Looking ahead, the air in the darkness was distorted, so subtle that it was only the size of a hair.

"There's no mistake, this is the aura of the dragon race." Zi Ji's face showed joy, as she could sense the faint aura emanating from within.

"You all stay away!" Zhu Wu said hurriedly.

The two women quickly retreated.

Zhu Wu immediately activated the Dragon God bloodline within his body, then unreservedly drew upon the spatial elements within his soul core, frantically surging them towards his right index finger, which had already transformed into a dragon claw. The claw tip lightly touched the hair-thin gap. As time passed, the silver light at the tip grew increasingly bright.

With increased force, the fingertip penetrated deeper and deeper, yet the other end remained hidden, as if the claw had entered another world. At the same time, immense pressure was felt.

"No, the spatial barrier is too strong!"

He felt as if his fingertips had pulled on a large titanium alloy steel plate, which he couldn't budge. He gritted his teeth and said...

"With the spatial elements currently stored in my body, I can only support expanding the gap by a tiny bit at most."

"Husband, try using your transformation ability to shrink your size," Zi Ji quickly said. "I'll protect you from outside."

"Ling'er, wait for the right moment, then you go in first," Zhu Wu said immediately.

Without hesitation, Long Ling'er immediately transformed into the smallest poisonous insect she could remember, only the size of a fingernail.

Zhu Wu didn't delay any longer. He pushed his mental power to the limit, frantically condensing spatial elements into a single point, and then suddenly exerted his strength. Without a sound, his fingertip suddenly slid down a distance about half a fingernail's width, and its thickness was only slightly wider than a fingernail.

From a distance, it looks like a thin line.

With a "whoosh," Long Ling'er crashed into it and disappeared instantly.

Amidst the shimmering silver light, Zhu Wu vanished on the spot, transforming into a tiny silver worm that disappeared in a flash, like a streak of light.

The next second, the thin lines in the air twitched slightly, then suddenly closed, returning to their previous slightly twisted shape.

Zi Ji immediately took action, bracing herself with both hands, and terrifying cold air overflowed, spreading towards the ice layers on both sides.

"Crunch, crunch," as ice cones continued to extend from the ice layers on both sides, the crack above closed at a speed visible to the naked eye until there was no light around.

Meanwhile, two tiny insects suddenly appeared in a colorful world.

The ground was shrouded in mist, with glimpses of vegetation visible, but it wasn't lush; mostly, there was bare, dark brown earth. The sky, however, was a kaleidoscope of colors—or more accurately, clouds. Red, blue, black… clouds of every hue.

Zhu Wu was shocked for a moment, then thought of the subtle spatial cracks outside and felt relieved.

Such a small spatial rift must have allowed energy to dissipate extremely slowly. Compared to the third part, which had been dissipating for 20,000 years, when humans still entered to hunt dragon souls and absorb elemental clouds, the elemental energy within Dragon Valley at this time was undoubtedly still abundant. He sighed inwardly and sensed his own abilities; indeed, he couldn't use his martial soul, nor his soul power.

Having read the original work, he naturally knew that it was the dragon soul here, or rather, the rules of this space, that sealed his soul power.

"Brother Tian, ​​I can't use my soul power anymore," Long Ling'er said in surprise.

The next second, without the supply of soul power, the ability to transform could not be maintained, and he immediately turned into a human form and fell.

Zhu Wu was similar; his body flashed with light and he transformed back into human form.

Fortunately, both of them were tough and their height from the ground was not too high, so they landed safely.

"It must be the rules here that seal our soul power," Zhu Wu said, dusting himself off as he looked around.

"I'll try to activate the Dragon God's bloodline so I can take you deeper later." With that, he immediately used his mental energy to activate the Dragon God's bloodline within his heart.

In the sequel, Tang Wulin can activate the Golden Dragon King bloodline in Dragon Valley, not to mention his Dragon God bloodline.

"Crack, crack." With a series of crushing sounds from the bones, a white dragon several meters long stood in place.

Zhu Wu sighed inwardly, realizing that his soul power was still unmovable. It seemed that the rules of this small world had indeed solidified.

"Ling'er, come up here." She turned her head and called softly.

Long Ling'er nodded and quickly jumped onto Zhu Wu's back.

"Roar!" Zhu Wu raised his head and let out a dragon's roar, exhaling the dragon aura unique to the dragon god, and flapped his wings to fly into the depths.

Compared to absorbing the outer elemental clouds, he had something more important to do: find the dragon cemetery at its core.

"Roar. Roar." As if sensing something, dragon roars echoed continuously around.

At the same time, deep within the dragon bones, a faint seven-colored light suddenly emanated from the interior of a huge skeleton.

P.S.: My tooth is so painful from a cavity that I need a filling and an extraction. I'm going to the hospital tomorrow.
