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

I won't go into the details of what happened next, but I'll just give you a simple answer: After that, Xu Xingyu gave Xu Yanxue compensation that was hers alone, since she was the only one who was owed compensation.

After that, he used spatial power to summon Gu Qiuxi, and then spent the next seven days in a painful yet joyful battle of playing cards with seven opponents. This situation continued for seven days and seven nights.

Xu Xingyu had never been so grateful that his second soul core was a blood and qi soul core. Otherwise, without the blood and qi soul core to continuously replenish his blood and qi, he would have lost miserably long ago, instead of standing here as a victor.

Among the seven, Gu Yuena and Gu Qiuxi persisted the longest, followed by Wang Dong'er and Jiang Nannan, then Ma Xiaotao, Xu Jiujiu and Xu Yanxue.

Sigh, Xu Xingyu, how could you have fallen so low! Although there was some training involved, how could you be so addicted to playing cards?!

Admittedly, Xu Xingyu did not slack off in her cultivation during this process, but she could not continue to indulge herself like this.

Therefore, after relaxing, Xu Xingyu started working. After all, he was the young master of the Qiling Tower. Although he might not have as many work-related matters as Gu Yuena, the tower master, he still had quite a few.

Fortunately, Xu Xingyu had Xu Jiujiu as a helper; otherwise, he would have been somewhat desperate facing the mountain of papers.

Besides work-related issues, Xu Xingyu also did not forget the content of the fifth of the Nine Trials of the Dragon God: searching for the remains of the Space Dragon King.

As mentioned before, the whereabouts of the Space Dragon King's remains has always been a mystery. Xu Xingyu originally thought that the Space Dragon King's remains would be in Dragon Valley, but through this journey through the Five Elements Plane, he also learned that this was not the case.

This indicates that the remains of the Space Dragon King, like those of the Ice and Fire Dragon King, were left outside, but the specifics are unknown.

However, Xu Xingyu wasn't completely clueless about this. She wondered if anyone remembered that in the early days, around the time she was dealing with the hand of a certain Grim Reaper.

At that time, Xu Xingyu's cultivation level was only Soul Master, but his opponent, the evil soul master Yan Feng, was also very strange. He had a Bone Dragon Martial Soul but was immune to the suppression of the Dragon God Martial Soul, which meant that Xu Xingyu had to go all out to defeat him.

Xu Xingyu was puzzled at the time: why would a Soul Emperor-level evil Soul Master be so strong? Even if an evil Soul Master has abilities far exceeding those of a Commander-level, Xu Xingyu, who possesses the Dragon God Martial Soul, would only have even stronger ability to fight beyond his level.

Therefore, even if there was a difference of about twenty levels in cultivation, Xu Xingyu was confident that she could suppress Yan Feng. However, the actual result was that the two fought to a draw.

As for why this happened, the answer lies in the spoils Xu Xingyu inadvertently obtained during the battle when the opponent was escaping.

At that time, Xu Xingyu obtained a jade-colored stone from Yan Feng. The moment she got the stone, Xu Xingyu recognized it as a space stone formed by the power of the Space Dragon King.

Indeed, Xu Xingyu had no idea where Yan Feng had gotten this spatial stone, but that didn't mean he had no clue.

Where are evil soul masters most rampant in Douluo Continent at present? The answer is the Sun Moon Empire, because that is where the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Cult, the holy land of evil soul masters, is located.

This also means that Yan Feng likely obtained the Space Stone within the territory of the Sun Moon Empire. Even if that's not the case, the trail to the Space Dragon King has not been broken.

Since the item was obtained from Yan Feng, he likely knows its origin. Furthermore, given that Yan Feng is an evil soul master, the Sun Moon Empire is the most likely place to find him.

The new Soul Master Competition is about to begin, and it will be held in Mingdu, the capital of the Sun Moon Empire.

If Xu Xingyu's memory of the original work is correct, this Soul Master Competition will be different from the past. It will no longer be a simple competition between academies; this time, sects will be involved.

Many reclusive sects took this opportunity to participate in the Soul Master Competition, attempting to promote the power possessed by their younger generation.

Among these forces is the Holy Spirit Cult, an evil soul master organization, which even joined this grand soul master competition as the state religion of the Sun Moon Empire.

Given the talent that evil soul master named Yan Feng displayed at that time, he would definitely be in the Holy Spirit Cult's ranks. At that time, as long as we find an opportunity to capture him, torture him, or extract his memories, we can find out how the Space Stone came to be.

As for whether this might be a bad thing, Xu Xingyu had no such thoughts at all. After all, Yan Feng, as an evil soul master, had already stained his hands with the blood of countless innocent people. No matter how much he tormented such a being, Xu Xingyu would not feel guilty.

However, Xu Xingyu had other things to take care of before that.

After finishing her work, Xu Xingyu stood up and left her office, then began to head towards the basement of the Spirit Tower.

Soon Xu Xingyu arrived at the eighth underground floor of the Spirit Pagoda, which was the place the Spirit Pagoda had reserved for sealing overly fierce and unyielding souls. However, this room was now being used for other purposes.

After opening the door, Xu Xingyu saw a pink lotus flower sealed by countless chains. Beside the lotus flower were Gu Yuena, who looked helpless, and Ilex, who looked solemn.

Pink flames continuously overflowed from the lotus, and wherever the overflowing pink flames touched, they immediately tried to burn everything around them.

But just as they were about to spread, the silver light enveloped the ignited flames, and the bound flames, lacking something to hold onto, quickly went out.

This is the Pure Flame Red Lotus that Xu Xingyu obtained when she made a deal with Lieyan, and it is currently being sealed here.

After returning to the Douluo Continent, Xu Xingyu entrusted the red lotus to the resurrected Electrolux for safekeeping, since no one knew better than Electrolux how to preserve such a rare and precious material for the soul.

Moreover, the Pure Flame Red Lotus is one of the three materials used to treat Wang Dong'er's Tang Wutong personality, so having the attending physician, Electrolux, familiarize himself with the Pure Flame Red Lotus beforehand will be helpful for the treatment later.

Unexpectedly, due to the seal set up by the raging flames, Xu Xingyu did not immediately realize that although the Pure Flame Red Lotus had weak intelligence, its strength had already reached the level of a divine official.

It is precisely because the Crimson Lotus of Purifying Flame possesses such formidable power that it has begun to actively utilize its burning spirit characteristics at some point, starting to erode the seal laid down by the raging flames, and showing a tendency to go berserk.

Therefore, Xu Xingyu and Gu Yuena had to work together to seal the Pure Flame Red Lotus in multiple ways. However, even when facing the Pure Flame Red Lotus with its burning spirit properties, it was only a matter of time before any seal was eroded.

Therefore, Xu Xingyu must resolve the problem of the Pure Flame Red Lotus before leaving the Spirit Tower, otherwise it will become the first bomb and destroy everything around it.
