Douluo Continent: Twin Golden and Silver Dragons Shock Bibi Dong

"How old are you that I still have to worry about everything?" Bibi Dong said irritably. "I've already made the arrangements. You will lead the Soul Hunting Operation, with Lena, Xie Yue, and Yan accompanying you."

"Yue Guan will be following you in secret, but he will only be responsible for handling emergencies that you cannot handle, such as ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts or uncontrollable crises. As for finding, hunting, and absorbing soul beasts, that will be done by the four of you on your own."

At this point, Bibi Dong gave him a deep look:

“The four of you are the most outstanding geniuses of the Spirit Hall this generation. I don’t want you to be just reckless brutes fighting alone. I want to see a team that knows how to cooperate and can rely on each other.”

"Since you've managed to keep them under your thumb in the academy these past two years, even turning Xie Yue and Yan into your underlings, then this captain position naturally belongs to you."

"Lead the team well, don't embarrass me."

……

The next morning, at the gate of Wuhun City.

Beside a luxurious carriage, Xie Yue, Yan, and Hu Liena had been waiting for a long time.

Ju Douluo Yue Guan was leaning against the carriage, toying with an unknown, vibrant flower in her hand. Seeing Xuan Hao slowly approaching, a mocking smile appeared on her alluring face.

"Hey, our squad leader has finally arrived?"

Good morning, Elder Yueguan.

Xuan Hao greeted them with a smile, then turned his gaze to his three teammates.

Two years have passed, and everyone has grown quite a bit taller.

Hu Liena has grown even more beautiful, and her alluring charm is already beginning to take shape.

Xie Yue stood tall and straight, his eyes even sharper.

Yan, on the other hand, was as strong as a young calf, radiating a hot and restless aura.

However, at this moment, Xie Yue and Yan both tensed up instinctively when they saw Xuan Hao, their eyes revealing a sense of unbearable vicissitudes.

These past two years have been incredibly difficult.

Originally, as elites of the Martial Soul Academy, they were extremely proud. Even after being taken in by Xuan Hao as his underlings, they always secretly dreamed of turning the tables.

So every now and then, Xie Yue or Yan would feel that they were good enough, that their strength had improved, and that they could challenge the boss's authority.

The result was—getting beaten up.

Getting beaten up in various ways.

By the end, they had completely lost their temper.

So be it, he's a lackey. After all, most of the Martial Soul Academy has become his lackeys, so it's not a shameful thing anymore.

"Is everyone here?"

Xuan Hao walked up to the three of them, habitually put his hands behind his back, and glanced at them. "I don't need to repeat the rules of this operation, do I?"

"I will follow your orders." Yan answered reflexively, standing at attention in a loud voice.

After saying that, he was stunned for a moment, and then a blush of embarrassment flashed across his face.

Damn it, I've gotten so many beatings over the past two years that they've become muscle memory!

Xie Yue sighed helplessly: "Alright, stop putting on airs. Nana told us that you're the captain this time, and we'll all listen to you."

"That's right." Xuan Hao nodded in satisfaction, then waved his hand with an air of commanding authority.

"Let's go! Destination: Star Dou Great Forest!"

……

Deep within the Starry Sky Forest, in the Mixed Zone.

The air was hot and humid, filled with the smell of decaying leaves. The huge canopy blocked out the sun, cutting the midday sunlight into dappled shadows.

How much longer do we have to walk?

Yan, who was in charge of covering the rear, wiped the sweat from his forehead, kicked aside the thorns blocking the road, and said in a frustrated tone, "It's been three days. We've been wandering around this area so much that we've practically trampled the ground flat. Forget about top-grade soul beasts around four thousand years old, we haven't even seen a single hair of a top-grade soul beast."

Although Xie Yue, who was walking at the front, did not speak, the frequency with which he wielded his moon blade to clear the way had obviously slowed down. Clearly, his physical strength and patience were being worn down by this endless search.

In this area, you can see thousand-year-old spirit beasts everywhere.

But that's precisely the most awkward part.

What you see everywhere are mostly "common goods" that are one or two thousand years old.

Occasionally, he would encounter a few three or four thousand years old, either wind-attribute demonic leopards or poison-attribute spiders, which had absolutely nothing to do with Xuan Hao's Golden Dragon Martial Soul, which purely pursued the ultimate power and defense.

What's the rush?

Walking in the middle of the group, Xuan Hao remained as leisurely as ever. He held a wild fruit he'd picked from who-knows-where in his hand, took a bite, and calmly said:

"What I'm looking for is a top-quality spirit ring that can support the second spirit ring of a golden dragon. If I could just pick one up off the street and use it, what kind of genius would I be?"

"Besides, this is a publicly funded trip. Elder Yueguan is keeping an eye on things from the shadows, so our safety is guaranteed. We don't have to attend classes or cultivate, and I'll be clearing the way for you. Isn't this more comfortable than staying at the academy?"

Yan's lips twitched, thinking to himself, "You're comfortable now, but we've been on tenterhooks."

This is deep within the mixed zone! A place where high-level, thousand-year-old soul beasts roam!

It's only because Xuan Hao, this freak, dared to come here at level 20. If it were an ordinary Soul Master team, even if all members were Soul Masters, they would have to keep their tails between their legs here.

Chapter 20 The Roar of the Golden Dragon

……

"Stop."

Xie Yue, who had been walking at the very front, suddenly stopped, raised his hand to make a shushing gesture, his body tensed instantly, and his nostrils twitched slightly.

"The smell of blood is so strong..." Xie Yue lowered his voice, his brows furrowed. "And the atmosphere is very chaotic. There was a fierce battle just taking place."

"A bloodbath?" Xuan Hao's eyes lit up. "Let's go take a look; maybe we can snag a bargain."

The four concealed their presence and, using the bushes as cover, stealthily made their way forward.

After passing through a dense jungle, the view suddenly opened up, but what followed was a nauseating stench.

This is a battlefield in complete disarray.

The towering trees around were broken or fallen, and the ground was covered with deep pits and scorch marks, as if it had been plowed by dozens of wild bulls.

At the edge of the battlefield lay a massive corpse—a four-meter-long demon spider with a ghostly face. Six of its eight legs were broken, and its hideous human face and abdomen had been completely crushed, oozing dark green venomous blood.

And in the center of the battlefield.

A golden lion, over four meters long, was panting heavily.

The once golden fur was now covered in dirt and black poisonous blood. The flesh on his left hind leg was torn open, and the blood had changed color. There was also a deep wound on his abdomen that exposed the bone, from which blood was gushing out.

It lay there, each breath accompanied by painful spasms, clearly at its last gasp.

"The Golden Lion King?!"

Hu Liena covered her mouth and exclaimed in a low voice, "How could such a top-tier beast overlord end up like this?"

"It must have perished together with that Ghost-Faced Demon Spider," Xie Yue analyzed. "The Ghost-Faced Demon Spider is extremely adept at ambushes and is highly venomous. Even a top-tier soul beast like the Golden Lion King can easily be caught off guard."

"However, it seems that the Golden Lion King is not the only one who has been careless."

"How old is this golden lion king?" Xuan Hao asked.

Hu Liena observed the size of the Golden Lion King. "It should be around four thousand years old. The Golden Lion King is a top-tier soul beast, which is very rare. Moreover, they are social soul beasts. Under normal circumstances, there will be three to five lionesses by its side, making them extremely difficult to hunt. The Spirit Hall's data can only give an approximate age."

“No, this golden lion king has old wounds.” Xie Yue stared intently at the golden lion king’s chin, where a deep wound was visible beneath its thick mane.

"It seems that it had recently fought with other male lions and was injured, and then it was targeted by that ghost-faced spider."

"Although it defeated the Ghost-Faced Spider, it was also poisoned and suffered severe blood loss. It probably won't live much longer."

"He won't live much longer?" Xuan Hao's eyes lit up.

"Wait, you wouldn't be eyeing it, would you?" Hu Liena's eyes twitched slightly.

"Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. This thing is a top-tier soul beast after all. Don't be fooled by its current weakened state. If it launches a counterattack before it dies, it can take down most soul beasts that are over eight thousand years old!"

A weakened soul beast can be incredibly terrifying when it fights for its life!

These top-tier soul beasts can even suddenly self-destruct while fighting desperately!

Forced one-for-one exchange!

"What's there to be afraid of? It can't even stand up straight now," Xuan Hao said.

"We've been looking for so long, and you still have the leisure to do this? I can't keep looking."

With Xuan Hao's appearance, the golden lion king, which had been on the verge of unconsciousness, suddenly opened its eyes.

Despite its severe injuries, the dignity of a king cannot be trampled upon. Seeing a weak human swaggering towards it, it let out a low growl and struggled to its feet.

"Roar……"

However, the poison and blood loss made its limbs weak, and it fell heavily back down after only managing to prop itself up halfway.

"Stop struggling, big kitty."

Xuan Hao stopped less than five meters away from the Lion King. Golden light surged around him, and his Golden Dragon Body activated instantly, releasing a pure, superior dragon aura without reservation.

"hold head high--"

Sensing this terrifying dragon's might, a hint of astonishment and instinctive fear flashed across the Golden Lion King's originally fierce eyes.

That was an absolute suppression based on bloodline, causing its already weakened aura to plummet to rock bottom in an instant.

"Yan, fire two fireballs at it to warm it up, don't let it play dead," Xuan Hao commanded without turning his head.

"okay!"

Yan, behind him, was equally decisive, raising his hand to unleash a Hellfire Lava Surge, which precisely struck the ground beside the Golden Lion King.

"Boom! Boom!"

The flames exploded, forcing the Golden Lion King to move his body, which aggravated his wounds and caused him to convulse in pain.

"Evil Moon, seal off its retreat."

Evil Moon transformed into a blur, its moon blades flashing, directly severing several large trees beside the Lion King that it was trying to use for support.

"Senior sister, control yourself, give me a quick death!"
