At the foot of Poseidon Mountain.
Seeing Xuan Hao, who had disappeared for half a month and exuded a chilling aura, descend from the sky, Na'er, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and the others who had been anxiously waiting here all gathered around.
"Brother, are you alright?" Na'er looked him up and down, her eyes full of concern.
"It's okay, I feel better than ever before."
Xuan Hao clenched his fist, feeling the terrifying power within him that seemed capable of shattering the void with a single punch. "Next, I'm going to try and see if I can rush up in one go."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Hao did not hesitate at all. He turned around and faced the towering Nine Heavens Mystic Steps again, and began his second sprint.
Chapter 421 The Nine Heavens Mystic Ranks suffer a dramatic backlash; Xuan Hao shifts his battleground to the far north to confess to Na'er.
……
"boom!"
This time, he was faster and more ferocious than he was two weeks ago!
Amidst the horrified gazes of Hailong Douluo and the others, Xuan Hao, like a ferocious beast unleashed from its cage, charged forward under the terrifying light of the Sea God, reaching the forbidden zone of over 800 levels in the blink of an eye!
"Not enough!"
Xuan Hao roared, unleashing all his amplification soul skills without reservation!
Including the newly acquired ninth soul ring, which is a million years old, and the torso bone of the million-year-old Abyss Dragon Emperor, which was born by fusing with the power of the Dragon Soul!
Amidst the dazzling golden light and blood-red light, Xuan Hao's body did not swell into a giant dragon as it had before. Instead, it transformed directly into a "half-dragon" form covered in fine dragon scales and with dragon horns growing from its head.
The power is compressed to an extreme, while the defense increases exponentially!
Xuan Hao charged forward again!
Level 850! Level 900! Level 950!
Unstoppable momentum!
However, just as he gritted his teeth and firmly stepped onto the 988th step!
"Buzz—!!!"
That familiar yet even more violent pressure from the sea god, imbued with the absolute will of a deity, struck him once again without leaving any blind spots, as if the entire ocean were being overturned.
"boom!"
Without any suspense, Xuan Hao was once again sent flying by this irresistible force, like a kite with a broken string.
Poseidon's figure appeared silently in his falling trajectory like a ghost, her hands surging with the gentle power of the sea god, catching him steadily.
The two landed at the foot of Poseidon Mountain.
This time, Xuan Hao suffered more serious injuries.
He lay sprawled on the ground, his bones feeling as if they were shattered. He had no strength to move a single finger and could only gasp for breath.
Poseidon shook his head helplessly, raised his scepter, and released pure sea god light, continuously infusing him with life energy to help him repair his damaged meridians and muscles.
A full hour passed before Xuan Hao finally let out a muffled groan and laboriously regained his ability to move.
"It's a good thing you were knocked away." Poseidon looked at him irritably. "If you had tried to take another step forward with that brute force, you would have been crushed into mincemeat by that materialized light of the sea god."
Xuan Hao struggled to sit up, grinned, and said, "I just wanted to test the limits of this new body. I won't die."
"Moreover, judging from the current situation, as long as I gradually adapt to this light of the sea god in the coming days, I will definitely be able to rush up those last twenty or so steps in one go."
Poseidon warned sternly, "Don't act recklessly like this again. It's really dangerous. The Sea God's test is rigorous. If you dare to disregard the rules and act recklessly again, something bad will really happen."
"Thank you for your concern, High Priest, I understand." Xuan Hao dusted himself off, then changed the subject, shamelessly extending his hand, "But High Priest, could you please give me a few more God-given Soul Rings while you're at it?"
"I feel that as long as I complete all the spirit rings of my second spirit, my strength will double, and maybe I can directly rush up tomorrow."
Poseidon was utterly speechless, rolling her eyes: "I can't give them to you! Normally, the Sea God would definitely not hesitate to give you two more, given your heaven-defying talent. But now... the Sea God simply doesn't want to give them to you!"
Xuan Hao's eyes twitched slightly, and he curled his lip: "That old Deng, he really holds a grudge. Fine, forget it then, I'll figure it out myself."
Poseidon's eyelids twitched as she looked at his nonchalant demeanor, and she couldn't help but ask, "You...you're not really planning to go find the wife of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, are you?!"
"of course."
Xuan Hao said confidently, "The wife of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King must also be an ancient ferocious beast of hundreds of thousands of years. If I absorb her soul ring and soul bone, my strength will skyrocket, and I can definitely level up a few more times. Then, I can just find a couple of blind ferocious beasts to collect my soul rings, and I can directly reach level 99 on the spot."
Poseidon's eye twitched violently, and she pointed at him, unable to speak for a long time: "You..."
Xuan Hao stood up and patted Poseidon on the shoulder: "High Priest, you can't say I'm too ruthless, can you? Please, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King wasn't exactly a benevolent person to begin with. How many lives has he devoured in all these years of dominating the sea? His wife is probably a deep-sea tyrant too. If I kill them, it's just doing justice for heaven, it shouldn't be such a heinous crime, right?"
Poseidon hesitated, unable to find a reason to refute Xuan Hao's fallacious argument in the dog-eat-dog world of Soul Masters.
Seeing Poseidon's conflicted expression, Xuan Hao laughed and said, "Alright, I was just kidding. I'm not so low as to go so far as to commit massacres. I'll just go find someone else to withdraw money from."
"By the way, I'll be leaving Seagod Island for a while. I'd appreciate it if you could take good care of Xiaowu and the others, High Priest. Also, please look after Nana and Yanyan's assessments."
Poseidon looked at him questioningly: "Where are you going?"
Xuan Hao turned his head, his gaze fixed on the distant north: "The far north."
……
After resting on Poseidon Island for a few days, and once his body and mind were fully recovered, Xuan Hao quietly set off with only Na'er in tow.
The Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King are currently in a deep slumber and unable to come out to maintain order.
Looking across the entire Douluo Continent, the only one who can reliably suppress those ancient overlords in the far north is Na'er, the ruler of all beasts.
On the vast, boundless ice plain, the cold wind howled and snow fell heavily.
Na'er, like a koala, lay comfortably on Xuan Hao's broad back, letting him carry her through the air.
In less than a day, Xuan Hao had penetrated deep into the core area of the far north.
Of course, he learned his lesson this time and didn't immediately flaunt his exaggerated, thousand-meter-long dragon form.
The wind and snow environment in the far north is too extreme. If he really angered the Snow Empress, he was actually a little afraid that he would be slapped to death by that ice and snow woman in this absolute home field.
When you're on someone else's turf, you should know when to be a little more timid and restrained.
In the wind and snow, Na'er, who was clinging to Xuan Hao's back, hesitated for a long time before finally breaking the silence.
“Brother…” Na’er’s voice was as soft as a mosquito’s buzz, tinged with a barely perceptible unease, “When…did you find out?”
Xuan Hao asked knowingly, "Know what?"
Na'er bit her lip: "My...my true identity?"
Xuan Hao's lips curled slightly: "What's your identity?"
Na'er took a deep breath, "Silver Dragon King."
Xuan Hao chuckled softly, "What if I told you that I've actually known all along?"
Na'er's body stiffened abruptly on his back, her eyes widening in disbelief: "You've always known?! Then... you knew I had ulterior motives towards you?"
What does "having ulterior motives" mean?
Xuan Hao chuckled and retorted, "You're interested in my Dragon God bloodline and potential, and you need my power to revive the Soul Beast race. Is that what you call having ulterior motives? Then Rongrong and Yanyan are attracted by my strength and future, and willingly follow me. Isn't that also having ulterior motives?"
"When two people can get close and form a bond, it must be because they have qualities or values that attract each other. I don't care what your purpose was in getting close to me in the first place. I only know that I like you, and I am willing to protect you and help you, and that's enough."
Xuan Hao turned his head and gently rubbed his cheek against Na'er's cool and smooth face. "As long as you don't have any intention of killing me, then I will always be your brother."
"Of course, if you ever really want to turn on me and kill me... then I can only apologize. I don't want to die yet; I still have so many beautiful sisters waiting for me to take care of them."
Chapter 422 Na'er's Confession Backfires with Xuan Hao's Teasing; The Silver Dragon King Arrives in the Far North to Intimidate the Snow Emperor
……
Hearing these straightforward, insightful, yet somewhat roguish words, Na'er finally felt the weight lifted from her heart after many years, and couldn't help but chuckle at his words.
"You...don't you really care at all that I've been lying to you for so long?"
Xuan Hao smacked his lips: "To be honest, I do care a little."
Na'er's expression immediately became somewhat unnatural, and she asked nervously, "What are you worried about?"
"Do you really think your disguise is flawless?"
Xuan Hao didn't hold back and launched into a tirade, "Please! From the very first day I met you, I could sense that your aura was unusual!"
"And your acting skills are really bad! Especially after you met those two old men, the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King, at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, your forced act of pretending to be stupid completely collapsed! But you were still smug and thought you had disguised yourself perfectly."
Xuan Hao sighed, his tone full of compassion, "I'm just too soft-hearted. I really can't bear to expose your terrible acting skills in front of you, afraid that you'll lose face."
Na'er's face instantly turned red to her ears, and she clenched her fists in a mixture of shame and indignation: "You...you bastard! You've been laughing at me the whole time?!"
"I wouldn't say I was watching a joke," Xuan Hao said with a look of enjoyment. "I just think that it's really cute for the dignified Silver Dragon King to try so hard to act silly and cute, and I also really like seeing your silly and adorable appearance, so I haven't exposed you yet."
"I thought you also considered this kind of role-playing as a fun thing between us, but I didn't expect... you actually thought I hadn't noticed all along."
"Xuan Hao!!!"
Na'er was furious. She opened her small mouth and bit down hard on Xuan Hao's neck without any hesitation!
However, she ultimately couldn't bring herself to use her full strength.
It's less of a bite and more of a gentle hold of the soft flesh in the mouth with lips and teeth.
The warm, tingling sensation immediately made Xuan Hao feel uneasy and his lustful desire surge.
"Hiss... Na'er, if you keep teasing me like this, my body will feel very uncomfortable." Xuan Hao gasped, his voice becoming a little hoarse.
Not only did Na'er not give in, she stuck out her delicate tongue and gently licked his neck, huffing arrogantly, "This is the punishment you asked for!"
However, Na'er knew her limits and didn't go too far. After teasing her for a while, she let go and obediently lay back down.
……
The two ventured deep into the heart of the far north.
Xuan Hao did not venture any further, but stopped above a massive glacier.
He activated his Golden Dragon True Form once again, but this time, to avoid arousing unnecessary hostility, he only maintained his normal size of over 100 meters.
Then, Xuan Hao raised his enormous dragon head and let out a long, resonant golden dragon roar at the swirling snow.
This is not a provocation, but a greeting.
