I am the son of the Dragon God in Douluo Continent.

Not long after Gu Qiuxi successfully killed the Lan Tu Nu Dragon, Ji Dong arrived at the scene with a group of people from the Yin Yang Academy.

It wasn't that Ji Dong deliberately arrived so late; it was mainly because he made quite a commotion when he landed at the military camp.

If it weren't for the fact that they finally had a few acquaintances at the Yin-Yang Academy, and that their senior brother was the chief of the Yin-Yang Academy and the commander of the Bright Five Elements Continent, their group might have been mistaken for spies.

There's no way a normal person would appear in a military camp like this!

While Lan Bao'er led Ya Lin'er to the medical tent in the military camp, Ji Dong asked his senior brother for help in dealing with the ninth-tier Lan Tu Swamp Dragon.

In response, Ji Dong's senior brother, Fury, arranged for some people from the Yin-Yang Academy to accompany Ji Dong to participate in this rescue operation. Fury originally wanted to go himself, since he had never heard of Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi, so he also wanted to get to know these two young geniuses.

However, the current situation does not allow him to leave the military camp at will. Due to some special reasons, the armies of the Light and Dark Five Elements Continents have reached a stalemate. If he, as the commander-in-chief, were to leave without authorization, countless people would die as a result.

However, upon arriving at the location where Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi were, Ji Dong and the people who came with him could only be described as shocked.

Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi stood unharmed on the corpse of the recently deceased Lan Tu Zhu Long, seemingly digging for its crystal core.

The only two pieces of evidence that a battle had taken place here were the battle marks on the ground and the dust on the two men.

After a moment of silence, Ji Dong stepped forward and said, "I didn't expect we'd be a little late! But I really didn't expect you to be able to kill a ninth-tier Storm Swamp Dragon with your own strength."

Xu Xingyu simply chuckled and said, "Oh, not at all. We were just lucky. Besides, Qiu'er was the one who did most of the work this time. I was just playing a supporting role."

Upon hearing this, Ji Dong wanted to shout, "Who believes that?!" Even if Gu Qiuxi had hidden strength, how could a six-crown magician kill a ninth-tier magical beast with almost no injuries?!

So Xu Xingyu definitely made a move; Gu Qiuxi was probably just playing support!

However, this also confirms that both Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi have concealed their true fighting strength.

Normally, Ji Dong doesn't like to speculate about other people's thoughts in a complicated way, but this time he had to be careful.

Ji Dong was filled with disbelief at the potential combat power that Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi might be hiding. Even if he and his senior brother joined forces, they might not be able to handle a magical beast of this level, let alone one that was almost completely unharmed.

This was the first time Ji Dong felt that his talent might not be as extraordinary as he had imagined. Admittedly, he was confident that he could do the same thing at the same level, but he did not think it would be so easy.

This made Ji Dong's vigilance towards the two of them rise even higher. Even though it had been proven that neither of them were spies from the Dark Five Elements Continent, the fact that Ji Dong hadn't seen them in the tunnel of light when he entered the Holy Evil Island still made him a little uneasy.

After all, any force that emerges at this time could have a huge impact on both sides' camps.

Overall, although he remained wary of the two, he still had some goodwill towards them as people.

Because during the battle just now, Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi were the first to volunteer to stay and fight the enemy, and they even sent him, Lan Bao'er, and Ya Lin'er, who were injured, out.

Admittedly, this might be because they don't want to reveal their hidden abilities, but this behavior also proves that they are not bad people.

Therefore, even if I still need to be vigilant, I should try to be on good terms with them. In such a critical moment, I should make use of any available combat power, and at most, I should keep a little bit of caution.

Of course, there was another reason why he was so wary of Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi, which was that she was afraid of their existence.

That "she" was the goddess in Ji Dong's heart, and also a teacher-like figure, the Flame Queen of the Earth's core.

Ever since Ji Dong arrived at Holy Evil Island, Lie Yan has been watching Ji Dong's every word and action, relying on the red lotus mark left on him.

Upon seeing the two again, the voice of Lieyan immediately echoed in his mind.

"They are...!!! How is this possible?! Could they have come for me?!"

This was a panicked sound that Ji Dong had never heard from his beloved before, but even when he wanted to ask what was going on, Lie Yan fell silent.

This also indirectly indicates that Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi have a very high background, a level that Ji Dong cannot currently access.

So although he believed that Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi were good people, if they ever threatened his beloved Lieyan, he would use every means to fight them.

After all, everyone has some hidden tricks up their sleeve! At most, the price he has to pay for her hidden tricks will be a little higher.

Back to the present, Ji Dong looked at the dead Lan Tu Swamp Dragon and said, "By the way, Brother Xingyu, do you need our help to dispose of this Lan Tu Swamp Dragon's corpse? Apart from the most precious crystal core, the scales, bones, and flesh of this high-level sub-dragon are all rare treasures."

"Then I'll leave it to you. Dealing with such a large corpse is quite a hassle."

After disposing of the corpse of the Lan Tu Swamp Dragon, Ji Dong invited Xu Xingyu and the others to the military camp of the Bright Five Elements Continent to prepare for the upcoming war with the people of the Dark Five Elements Continent.

Led by Ji Dong, Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi entered the eighth level of Sacred Evil Island. Before them lay a vast basin, surrounded by mountains. Within the basin teemed with all sorts of creatures.

However, at this moment, no one was in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery, because something called war was taking place.

Countless light mages and dark mages are fighting in the basin, unleashing countless magical techniques. A war between light and darkness is about to begin.

But the most shocking battle was in the very center of the basin, where eight Light Mages commanded the ultimate elemental power against a massive Tyrannosaurus Rex monster enveloped in flames and lightning.

Ji Dong and the others from Yin Yang Academy were shocked by this scene. They had only left the military camp not long ago, so how could the battle situation have become so chaotic as soon as they returned?

How did the previously calm and stalemate suddenly turn into a fierce battle?!
