Douluo Continent: Twin Golden and Silver Dragons Shock Bibi Dong

Xuan Hao tried to sit up warily, but the movement aggravated his wound, causing him to wince in pain.

He subconsciously activated his Golden Dragon Perception, wanting to investigate the surrounding situation.

However, the next second, his pupils suddenly contracted.

He couldn't sense the unique soul power fluctuations of a human soul master from this woman; instead, he felt an aura that was extremely pure, vast, and perfectly integrated with nature.

He had seen a description of that aura in the illustrated guide that Bibi Dong had given him…

Soul Beast?!

And it's a humanoid soul beast?!

Transformation after 100,000 years?!

"Don't move around. You have several broken bones. Although you have a strong ability to recover, you can't withstand this kind of abuse."

The woman seemed to sense his wariness, but she didn't pay it any mind. She simply smiled, stood up, and walked towards him.

"Who are you?" Xuan Hao asked, puzzled.

"You can call me Arou." The woman walked over and squatted down beside him, her gentle eyes looking at him quietly, with a hint of curiosity and confusion in them.

"But you, little one."

"You're so young, how did you end up deep in the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest all by yourself? And you even got caught up in that kind of beast tide?"

“If I hadn’t been drawn over there by the commotion, you would probably be fertilizer for those soul beasts by now.”

Xuan Hao rubbed his temples, which were still throbbing slightly, as a jumble of memories flooded back into his mind.

At that time, he activated his Golden Dragon Body to confront the beast tide head-on. Although he briefly dispersed the beast horde with his dragon might, the continuous impact still exceeded his body's capacity.

Just as his consciousness was about to fade and the two violent forces within him, the golden and silver dragons, were about to spiral out of control just like they had in Lanyun Village...

He felt a hand grab the back of his collar and forcefully pull him out.

At that time, he was in a daze and thought that the unreliable Yue Guan had finally had a change of heart and come back to save people. So his tense nerves relaxed, and he instinctively suppressed the restless power in his body and fell into a deep sleep.

Unexpectedly, it was this woman in front of him who saved him.

"Thank you."

Xuan Hao took a deep breath, enduring the excruciating pain as if his bones were dislocated, and struggled to stand up, dusting himself off.

"However, I have to go."

"Go?" Arou was slightly taken aback and quickly got up to help him. "Your physical condition is very bad right now. Your internal organs have been damaged, and your ribs are broken. You must rest..."

“I don’t have time to rest.” Xuan Hao shook his head. “The people looking for me should be arriving soon.”

At this point, he turned his head and gave Arou a deep look.

"If I stay here, you will be in danger."

Arou's hand froze in mid-air, somewhat puzzled: "Danger? I'm not afraid of that beast tide..."

“It’s not a beast tide,” Xuan Hao interrupted her. “It’s people looking for me.”

"It's not safe here, whether it's the mixed zone or the outer area."

"For you, and for that little guy hiding behind the tree..."

"You'd better leave as soon as possible, hide in the core area, and don't come out."

After saying this, Xuan Hao didn't linger.

He took out a handful of pills to restore his soul power from his storage soul tool, put them in his mouth, and with his last bit of strength, rushed towards the edge of the forest.

He has to leave. Yue Guan is definitely looking for him nearby.

As a titled Douluo, Yue Guan possesses extremely keen perception.

If Yue Guan finds him here...

He owes no favors, especially not those who saved his life.

Watching Xuan Hao's figure disappear into the depths of the forest, A Rou stood there, lost in thought for a long time.

"Mother……"

A small head peeked out from behind a towering tree not far away.

It was a girl wearing a pink dress, with a delicate and pretty face, and two rabbit ears on her head. She looked to be only five or six years old.

She cautiously sidled up to Arou, her hands gripping tightly the hem of her mother's skirt.

"That human... the aura emanating from him is terrifying..."

Arou came to her senses and gently stroked her daughter's head to soothe her frightened emotions, but her gaze remained fixed on the direction where Xuanhao had disappeared, unable to look away for a long time.

That child...saw it through?

How can this be?

Although she was transformed from a 100,000-year-old soul beast, she has now cultivated to level 70 and entered the mature stage.

Once she reaches maturity, even a titled Douluo in person cannot see through her true form unless they deliberately use their spiritual power to carefully probe her origin.

But that kid was only in his early twenties, how did he figure that out?

"Mommy, do we still want to go to the human world to play?" Xiao Wu asked, looking up.

Arou fell silent.

Originally, she planned to take Xiao Wu to the human world to experience life, since she needed to come into contact with human energy to grow again after transforming and cultivating.

But now...

Chapter 22 Traces of Soul Beasts

……

Wuhun City, the Pope's Palace.

A oppressive, low-pressure atmosphere enveloped the entire hall, as if even the dust in the air had solidified due to fear.

"boom!"

A loud bang echoed through the hall—the sound of a scepter slamming heavily to the ground.

"waste!"

Bibi Dong stood atop the high steps, looking down at Ju Douluo Yue Guan, who was kneeling below, trembling with fear, her eyes burning with two balls of cold anger.

"I sent you to protect her secretly, and this is how you protect her?!"

"Four Great Soul Masters at level 20 or above faced a horde of thousands of beasts! If it weren't for that crazy kid Xuan Hao recklessly activating his Golden Dragon Body to withstand the attack and buy time for the others to escape, the Spirit Hall would have already lost an entire generation of golden talents!"

"Yue Guan, do you think you're too comfortable in your position as an elder and want to loosen up in the Hall of Judgments?!"

Cold sweat poured down Yue Guan's forehead like raindrops. She didn't dare lift her head, her voice trembling as she tried to explain:

"Your Majesty, please calm down! I...I truly have my reasons!"

"At the time, Xuanhao was absorbing a spirit ring. I had already driven away all the thousand-year-old spirit beasts within a radius of several kilometers, ensuring absolute safety. The reason I left... was because I sensed an extremely peculiar aura!"

"A special aura?" Bibi Dong sneered. "Is this your excuse for abandoning your post?"

"It's...it's the aura of a 100,000-year-old soul beast!" Yue Guan said urgently. "And it's not the mature 100,000-year-old overlord kind. The aura is extremely weak, yet terrifyingly pure. It's like...like a 100,000-year-old soul beast that has just transformed, or is in an extremely weak state!"

Bibi Dong's anger, which was about to continue, suddenly stopped, and her brows furrowed sharply: "How could there be a 100,000-year-old soul beast in the mixed zone? Are you sure you didn't sense something wrong?"

"I dare to swear on my life! There's no mistake!" Yue Guan raised his head, his eyes full of certainty. "Does Your Majesty still remember... when we were chasing Tang Hao and that 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor in human form?"

"After giving birth, the Blue Silver Emperor was extremely weak and unable to completely conceal her aura. The unique fluctuations of her origin that she leaked out... were exactly the same as what I sensed in the Star Dou Great Forest this time!"

"At the time, I thought that since that 100,000-year-old soul beast dared to appear in the mixed zone, it must have only recently transformed and was weak. If we could capture it and present it to Your Majesty, that would be a tremendous achievement!"

Upon hearing this, the anger in Bibi Dong's eyes subsided somewhat, replaced by a deep, piercing light.

A newly transformed 100,000-year-old soul beast...

That means you can obtain a 100,000-year soul ring and a guaranteed 100,000-year soul bone without much effort!

This was too tempting for her, who was at a critical stage in cultivating her twin martial souls.

"so……"

Bibi Dong stared at Yue Guan and asked in a low voice, "Did you catch that soul beast?"

Yue Guan's body froze instantly.

The expression on his face was even worse than crying:

"Your subordinate... Your subordinate had already pinpointed its approximate location and felt very close to it. But... But just then, a beast tide suddenly erupted over Xuanhao's side."

"Your subordinate dared not delay any longer and had to abandon the search and rush back to rescue the people... but..."

"..."

Bibi Dong took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and clenched her knuckles until they turned white.

In other words, they failed to capture the 100,000-year-old soul beast, and their prize slipped away.

The four geniuses from the Spirit Hall almost perished because of this incident, especially Xuan Hao, who is still lying in bed unconscious.

It's truly... a double loss!

"Good...very good." Bibi Dong laughed angrily, "Yue Guan, you have really given me a big surprise."

Yue Guan trembled all over and lay on the ground, not daring to breathe.

However, the expected severe punishment did not come.

Bibi Dong remained silent for a long time before slowly opening her eyes.

Now that it has been confirmed that it is a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form, it is impossible for it to have run too far, let alone recover to its peak in a short period of time.

"Make a note of this for now," Bibi Dong said coldly. "Since you discovered the clue, you're in charge of cleaning up the mess."

"Take Ghost and me with you immediately, and the two of you go to the Star Dou Great Forest again. Search that area thoroughly!"

"Remember, don't make a big fuss, don't alert them, and especially don't disturb the two forest kings in the core area. Search secretly, and report back immediately once you find any trace!"

"Yes! I'll go right away!" Yue Guan felt as if he had been granted a pardon and dared not linger, scrambling out of the main hall.
