Douluo Continent: Twin Golden and Silver Dragons Shock Bibi Dong

By the time he scaled the high city wall and silently leaped through the window into his room at the Soto Grand Hotel, a pale, fish-belly white had already appeared on the eastern horizon.

It's almost bright.

Xuan Hao breathed a sigh of relief and was about to take off his dusty coat.

"Squeak-"

The bedroom door on the inside of the suite was suddenly pulled open, and a petite silver figure darted out without warning.

"elder brother?"

Na'er had only come out to check after hearing the commotion, but after seeing Xuan Hao's current state, her beautiful purple eyes widened instantly, and her lingering sleepiness vanished.

Xuan Hao's face was as pale as paper, his black outfit was covered in dirt and stone chips, and there was even dried blood at the corner of his mouth. His usually upright posture was now somewhat hunched, and his whole body exuded an undeniable weakness.

"where have you been?!"

Na'er rushed forward and grabbed Xuan Hao's arm, her eyes filled with anxiety and heartache: "Did you get into a fight? How did you end up like this!"

"It's nothing..." Xuan Hao forced a somewhat awkward smile, raised his heavy hand and ruffled her soft silver hair. "I'm just a little exhausted. Let me sleep and rest for a bit and I'll be fine."

But Na'er wasn't about to let it slide.

She stared intently at Xuan Hao's pale face, her eyes welling up with tears, and bit her lip as she pressed, "Don't lie to me! Who did it?"

Na'er knew Xuan Hao's background all too well. In this Douluo Continent, there were very few people who could push Xuan Hao to this point.

With his current combat power, ordinary Soul Saints wouldn't even be able to break through his defenses unless they activated their Martial Soul True Body right away!

Even those Soul Douluos who are over level 80 could never possibly beat Xuan Hao to the point of exhaustion and vomiting blood with sheer strength!

The only explanation... is that the other party is a Title Douluo!

But if a Title Douluo was going to kill Xuan Hao, and it came to that life-or-death moment, why didn't the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King within Xuan Hao come to his aid? How could they just stand by and watch Xuan Hao get beaten like that?

"Alright, my little darling..."

Xuan Hao sighed helplessly, leaned forward, and rested his almost unsteady body on Na'er's petite but soft shoulder.

He stretched out his heavy arms and pulled Na'er tightly into his embrace.

"I'm really fine, I wasn't in any life-threatening danger. That person didn't intend to kill me, I was just... completely overwhelmed by his strength and got a beating."

Xuan Hao closed his eyes and murmured, "Be good, don't ask anymore. Let me hug you, or... you can hug me too."

Feeling the unusually heavy and weak breathing of the boy in her arms, Na'er swallowed back all the questions she was about to ask.

She could hear the weariness and dependence in Xuan Hao's tone.

Na'er sighed with heartache, her anxiety turning into tenderness. She didn't ask another question, but obediently stretched out her slender arms, as if comforting a child who had been wronged outside, and gently hugged Xuan Hao's head, so that he could lean against her more comfortably and securely.

"Okay, I won't ask anymore." Na'er gently patted his back, her voice as soft as water. "You should rest well..."

The first rays of morning sunlight streamed into the room through the cracks in the window, quietly illuminating the two people embracing and bringing a sense of peaceful warmth.

Xuanhao slept very soundly.

To avoid disturbing him, Na'er stood guard outside the door like a dutiful little protector, only telling people that Xuan Hao was feeling unwell and needed to rest quietly. Although the girls were worried, seeing Na'er's resolute attitude, they didn't rush in to disturb him.

The tightly closed door was finally opened the next morning.

Xuan Hao stretched and walked out of the room. After a full day and night of deep sleep and soul energy recuperation, his originally pale complexion had returned to a rosy hue, and his internal injuries had basically stabilized. Apart from a trace of fatigue still hidden deep in his eyes, there was no sign of him having been beaten.

Upon hearing the door open, the girls who had been waiting in the lobby immediately surrounded them.

"Brother Xuanhao, are you alright?" Ning Rongrong leaned forward, looking him up and down with concern.

"Brother, are you feeling better?" Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu asked as well.

Xuan Hao smiled and ruffled Ning Rongrong's hair, indicating that everyone could rest assured: "It's nothing, she just had too much mental exertion recently, she'll be fine after a good night's sleep."

Seeing that he looked quite well, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xuan Hao walked to the table, poured himself a glass of warm water to moisten his throat, and then announced to everyone, "Everyone, pack your things, I plan to return to Tiandou City."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

"The main purpose of leaving Tiandou City this time was to bring Rongrong back with me." Xuan Hao put down his water glass and said in a relaxed tone, "It's just that some things went wrong in the middle, and I also arranged some special training for you guys, which is why I was delayed in Soto City for so long."

He glanced out the window and continued, "Now that everything that needed to be done has been done, there's no real value in staying in the Soto Arena any longer. It's time to go back."

No one had any objections to this decision. Ning Rongrong was going home anyway, and Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were going with Xuan Hao anyway, so they would go wherever Xuan Hao went.

At this moment, Dugu Yan pulled Ye Lingling over and said decisively, "Since you are leaving, Lingling and I will go back to Tiandou City with you."

"You're not going to join the Royal Fighting Team anymore?" Xuan Hao raised an eyebrow.

"The Royal Fighting Team's training and challenges at the Soto Grand Arena are almost over." Dugu Yan waved her hand. "Teacher Qin's original plan was to wrap things up in the next few days. Judging by the time, everyone should be heading back to Heaven Dou City soon. Lingling and I will go with you ahead of time, it's fine."

Ye Lingling, standing behind him, nodded slightly, clearly preferring to leave with Xuan Hao.

“Okay.” Xuan Hao thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, and then added, “But you should still go and say hello to Qin Ming and Yu Tianheng. Ask about the situation. If the Royal Fighting Team doesn’t have any other arrangements, you can all go back together.”

Dugu Yan readily agreed: "No problem, I'll go next door and ask Tianheng and the others later."

Chapter 202 Human Flesh Flying Car

……

Lunchtime, in a luxurious private room at the Soto Grand Hotel.

The lavish dishes on the table were disappearing at a visible rate. Xuanhao and Na'er seemed like two tireless, bottomless pit machines, shamelessly inhaling the food in their daily "storm."

The two of them devoured the food with swift, flying chopsticks, but everyone around them was already used to it.

It would be strange if these two didn't eat like this.

Just then, Dugu Yan, who had gone next door to gather information, pushed open the door and walked in, pulling out a chair and sitting down in the empty seat.

"Sister Yan Yan, what did Tian Heng and the others say?" Ning Rongrong handed over a glass of juice and asked curiously.

Dugu Yan took a sip, shook her head, and said, "Tianheng and the others don't seem to have any ideas. Anyway, the training challenges at the Soto Grand Arena are almost over, and everyone can leave together at any time. However, it seems that Teacher Qin Ming has encountered some personal matters."

"Private matters?" Zhu Zhuqing raised her eyes slightly.

“Well, Tianheng said it seems to be related to Shrek Academy, the one Teacher Qin graduated from. We don’t know the specifics yet, but judging from Teacher Qin’s worried look, he’ll probably be stuck here for a while and won’t be able to travel with us,” Dugu Yan explained.

Xuan Hao swallowed a large piece of roasted meat, pulled out a napkin to wipe his mouth, and casually said, "Since he has something to do and can't leave, we can leave first. There's no need to waste time here."

He put down the tissue and glanced at everyone at the table: "Since we've made up our minds, let's hurry. Yan Yan, this afternoon go to the city and get a large carriage, something spacious and sturdy, preferably big enough to fit all of us. Once it's ready, I'll take everyone directly back to Tian Dou City."

"Fly...fly back?"

The atmosphere in the private room froze instantly upon hearing this.

Apart from Na'er, who was already used to this kind of operation, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, and even Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, who had just sat down, all had strange expressions on their faces.

Ning Rongrong swallowed hard and asked tentatively, "Brother Xuanhao, what you said about getting a bigger carriage... you don't mean you're planning to just carry the whole carriage and fly through the sky again, do you?"

"Otherwise what?" Xuan Hao raised an eyebrow as if it were a matter of course. "It's faster to fly while carrying the car. I don't want to waste several days eating dust on the road."

The girls exchanged bewildered glances. This simple and brutal method of traveling by "human car" was probably only conceived by Xuan Hao in the entire Douluo Continent.

Dugu Yan sighed and rubbed her forehead. "Alright, I'll go to the carriage shop after dinner and ask. A big city like Soto should have those specially made large carriages readily available."

However, she looked at Xuan Hao's face, which had regained its rosy color but still seemed somewhat heavy, and couldn't help but ask with concern, "But are you really alright now? Carrying such a heavy carriage and having to carry so many people on a long flight must have taken a lot of physical exertion."

"Don't worry." Xuan Hao waved his hand dismissively. "Even if I were truly crippled, I wouldn't be so weak that I couldn't even lift a broken wooden cart."

Hearing his slightly defiant words, Ning Rongrong's eyes were filled with worry. She moved her chair closer to Xuan Hao, gently tugged at his sleeve, and said softly, "Brother Xuan Hao, if you're really not feeling well, we can hire some good horses and walk back slowly. There's nothing urgent in Tian Dou City, so there's no need to push yourself like this."

"I really didn't force myself."

Xuan Hao patted Ning Rongrong's hand to reassure her. However, he then abruptly changed the subject, giving everyone a heads-up:

"However, let me be frank from the start. My body is indeed fine, but the energy of my blood and qi is still not very stable. So, when we fly into the air, the energy and qi shield used to protect the carriage may have some flaws due to the fluctuation of power."

"To put it simply, your experience sitting in the carriage will probably not be very good; you may feel strong jolts and airflow."

"So, before getting on the bus this afternoon, everyone should be mentally prepared to avoid motion sickness."

……

It was afternoon.

Dugu Yan was very efficient. Before long, she bought an oversized luxury carriage from a carriage shop in Soto City.

The car is very spacious, easily accommodating the entire Royal Fighting Team, plus Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and the other girls.

Hearing that Xuan Hao was planning to ride a "human carriage," Yu Tianheng, Oslo, and the other boys from the Royal Fighting Team gathered around, their eyes full of curiosity. They were quite worldly-wise at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, but being carried in a carriage through the sky was truly a first for them.

However, Dugu Yan, who was standing to the side, could no longer keep a straight face.

Having personally experienced the feeling of soaring through the sky unprotected by a qi and blood shield, she knew all too well how agonizing the journey ahead would be.

"You all better prepare yourselves mentally beforehand." Dugu Yan looked at the group of boys who were eager to try and gave them a quiet reminder. "The journey back will be very exciting."

Although Xuan Hao's current cultivation level is only Soul Emperor, his physical explosiveness and flight speed are comparable to most agility-type Soul Douluos, even on the entire continent.

The people in the carriage were generally still at the Soul Venerable or Soul Master level.

Given this enormous power disparity, without Xuan Hao's protective blood energy shield, the wind pressure and weightlessness from high-altitude, ultra-high-speed flight alone would have been enough to give them a run for their money.

Xuan Hao glanced at the sky and, not intending to linger any longer, waved to everyone, "Alright, stop dawdling, get in the car, let's go."

Once everyone had found their seats in the carriage, Xuan Hao walked to the bottom of the carriage and placed one hand on the load-bearing wooden beam at the bottom of the carriage.

With a slight exertion of his arm muscles, he effortlessly lifted the enormous carriage, weighing several thousand kilograms, over his head.

"Splash—"

With a crisp sound, a pair of broad and majestic dragon wings suddenly unfolded from Xuan Hao's back, casting a large shadow.

"Hold on tight!"

Xuan Hao spoke up to remind him, and then a layer of crimson blood energy shield instantly opened, enveloping the entire carriage.

Immediately afterwards, he flapped his wings and the ground beneath his feet shattered. Carrying the enormous carriage, he transformed into a streak of light and soared into the sky with an incredible acceleration!

"Holy crap—!"

A gasp rippled through the carriage as the intense push and weightlessness sent everyone's hearts leaping into their throats.

Even the usually composed Yu Tianheng was startled by the sudden and terrifying initial speed, gripping the edge of the seat tightly with both hands.

What the hell is that speed?!
