Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

The reason why Qiankun Wenqing Valley is the foremost of the three treasure-gathering places is not because of how much benefit it can bring, but because of its great danger.

The potential harm one might suffer here is unpredictable, and gaining any benefit is even more difficult; being able to leave alive is already a stroke of luck.

"It's the last day. We're waiting for the last day. Please, Elder Xuan, let me stay. Dong'er, Dong'er is still inside, Elder Xuan! I can't, I can't live without her, Elder Xuan. And Qiu'er, Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother, I beg you all, I beg you all. I'm kowtowing to you all."

"Boom boom boom——"

Huo Yuhao kept kowtowing and pounding his fists. After a considerable period of waiting, most of the things that were supposed to come out had already come out.

He had no faith in Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er at all. How could he possibly be willing to leave now?

Huo Yuhao had been in a daze for the past few days, and only showed some normal reaction when Wu Feng suggested leaving.

This was not only because he lost the support of Ice Emperor as his second martial soul, but also because he was affected by the core energy of Tianmeng cocooning and falling into slumber, as well as the death of Ilex, which caused his spiritual sea to fall from a state of tangible yet intangible existence.

But the deeper reason is those painful memories. Everything that happened in Qiankun Wenqing Valley is like a knife etched into Huo Yuhao's mind, and he can never forget it.

But Huo Yuhao didn't suffer a complete loss.

Without a doubt, both he and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm have grown.

Huo Yuhao increased his soul power by five levels, reaching the level of a high-level Soul Emperor. However, in Zhong Liyuan's words, Wenqing Valley currently does not provide any genuine benefits; they are all taken from his fellow travelers.

He absorbed the residual energy from the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's use of "Where is the Great Dream Awakening Now," and the resulting soul power was rather weak; it was hard to tell whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

However, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm experienced growth in a different aspect—

As for what kind of growth it was, Huo Yuhao preferred to never know.

"Yuhao, get up, I'll wait with you."

Xu Sanshi, with a black ribbon tied around his arm, helped him up with all his might.

Xu Sanshi was in good condition, with a rosy complexion, but his eyes looked somewhat dull.

As the only person who gained something, he not only benefited, but also gained a great deal. His internal injuries from before were completely healed, and even his Xuanwu Martial Soul was fully awakened.

However, there was no joy on his face.

Because Jiang Nannan died.

His Xuanwu awakening was achieved at the cost of Jiang Nannan's life. That disappointed look in his eyes was the last will Jiang Nannan left behind with her severely injured body.

"Master Xuan, please, please wait a little longer."

Bei Bei and Xiao Xiao also began to plead for him. They didn't change much, but they deliberately stood on the other side of Xu Sanshi, making the atmosphere among the Shrek Seven Devils seem a bit strange.

Just then, a golden light shone brightly, and a bubble-shaped sphere of gold and silver light appeared, slowly rotating in the sunlight and refracting a mesmerizing light.

Huo Yuhao suddenly stood up.

Only one? Could it be Dong'er? Or Qiu'er? It couldn't be a corpse like Sister Nan'nan's, could it...?

Huo Yuhao dared not think about it. He stared intently at the bubble, not daring to blink.

With a "pop," the bubble burst.

A figure fell from the sky.

A pristine white dress, a slender and delicate body, and a flawless face that seemed as tender as a newborn. Her long, curled eyelashes trembled slightly, causing Huo Yuhao's heart to tremble as well. Then, a pair of large, pinkish-blue eyes opened beneath them.

At first glance, Huo Yuhao knew this was his goddess, his—

"Dong'er—!!!"

He leaped with all his might, about to pounce on the girl in mid-air!

But during this brief leap, Huo Yuhao's expression twisted in a strange way.

The goddess before him was exactly the same as his Dong'er, except for her long hair that was draped behind her head.

is black.

The girl in front of him snorted coldly, and six spirit rings instantly appeared on her body. Black hammer shadows overlapped, and a fierce wind rushed towards her!

"Who is your Dong'er, you mortal? Listen up, my name is Tang Wutong!"

Behind her, two more beams of golden light rose up.

Chapter 329 The Young Lady Arrives and the Dragon Soars Through the Mysterious Ice Cave

Under immense pressure, Huo Yuhao finally regained some clarity of mind. Looking into the beautiful eyes of the girl opposite him, he immediately shivered.

"You are not Dong'er."

This isn't Dong'er! He knew perfectly well that Wang Dong'er would never be so rough with him!

But this is indeed Dong'er's Clear Sky Hammer. Where is my Dong'er?

Huo Yuhao clearly had no time to pay attention to the changes that had occurred in Qiankun Wenqing Valley, because along with the familiar yet subtly different sound of the Haotian Hammer cutting through the wind, a bright golden trident rune also shone on the girl's forehead.

Her slender figure seemed to grow taller overnight, and a powerful aura emanated from her, even coating the Haotian Hammer in her hand with a blue-gold halo. In addition to its original weight, it gained an added sense of boundless power and continuity.

If the Clear Sky Hammer was a mountain before, then it is now an ocean.

A tremendous force suddenly erupted.

A terrifying pressure washed over him, and Huo Yuhao instinctively used the Ghost Shadow Step to retreat like lightning, while crossing his arms in front of his chest, about to activate the Ice Emperor's Body Protection and the Ice Emperor's Claw.

But Xu Sanshi reacted even faster than him.

After Jiang Nannan's death, Xu Sanshi's mind was in a state of extreme tension. When he saw Huo Yuhao being attacked, he immediately dropped the Xuanwu Shield.

The fourth spirit ring lit up instantly, and the Xuanwu Replacement was released almost without hesitation!

The current Xuanwu replacement is not the same as the Xuanming replacement of the past. After the Xuanwu Martial Soul was fully awakened, not only did his Soul Power level approach level 70, but his strength also soared, and he was already at the level where he could barely exchange a few blows with an eight-ring Soul Douluo.

If it were just a soul skill, Xu Sanshi would have a 30% or higher chance of success even against a Title Douluo.

However, the feedback from the Xuanwu replacement was:

invalid!

Something shocking happened to Xu Sanshi.

His invincible soul skill, which could be effective even against opponents far stronger than himself, was met with emptiness when it landed on Tang Wutong, as if there was no target to replace her.

He could only hastily pull Huo Yuhao behind him.

Bang!"

Soul power surged forth. However, the two Soul Ring Skills belonging to the Ice Emperor did not appear as expected.

Even though he was behind Xu Sanshi's Xuanwu Shield, Huo Yuhao could still clearly feel a powerful aura of light rushing towards him, like a giant wave crashing down on him.

It should be noted that after fusing five Titan Snow Demon Soul Bones, his power had inherited the peak physical body of the Titan Snow Demon lineage, which was quite strong. Xu Sanshi had even evolved into a Xuanwu Martial Soul Master at its peak.

But the girl's hammer blow sent the two of them flying back more than ten steps.

The three of them spread out, and the girl who called herself Tang Wutong landed steadily. Normally, Xu Sanshi would have joked with Wang Dong'er and her two sisters, but now he was in no mood for it at all. Huo Yuhao was even more stunned, completely unable to understand what had happened.

The three separated. The girl who called herself Tang Wutong landed steadily, her fair face radiating authority, and rings of spirit rings rose completely from beneath her feet—

Black, black, black, black, black, black.

It has the exact same configuration as Wang Dong'er's second martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer, but its power is incomparable.

Those jet-black soul rings seemed to be covered with a layer of blue-gold light, and the Clear Sky Hammer was covered with dark gold patterns.

"Who are you? What did you do to Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er from Shrek Academy? Why do you look just like them?"

Xuanzi flashed and stood in front of the crowd.

He didn't seem to have much of a difference, except that he had changed his plain gray robe into a black robe of excellent quality, which, combined with his powerful aura, made him look more dignified.

"It was clearly those two mortals from the lower realms who used my face!"

Upon hearing Xuanzi's words, Tang Wutong immediately responded indignantly.

Then, as if she had thought of something, her eyes darted around.

"Wait, you said you're from Shrek Academy? The number one academy on the continent?"

Her voice was clear and melodious, somewhat similar to Wang Dong'er's, but with an added touch of arrogance and coldness, yet equally pleasing to the ear.

The lingering girlishness in her eyes and brows, coupled with her proud tone, gave Huo Yuhao the feeling of seeing Wang Dong'er for the first time.

Again, they are "people from the lower realm".

Upon hearing this clearly discriminatory word again, Shrek and his group all frowned.

Just as Beibei was about to speak, more golden and silver bubbles slowly rose up, and two extremely similar figures floated down from the bursting bubbles.

"Dong'er!... Qiu'er."

Huo Yuhao's voice was full of surprise. Fortunately, it seemed that Wang Dong'er was completely unharmed.

But he had a vague feeling that Dong'er was missing something.

Wang Qiu'er's aura had clearly improved; just by standing there, a layer of golden light flowed around her, and a sharp aura emanated from her, indicating that her cultivation had taken another step forward.

“Yuhao…” Wang Dong’er responded softly, and Wang Qiu’er nodded in response.

They all stared intently in Tang Wutong's direction, looking preoccupied.

Upon seeing the two women appear, Tang Wutong's beautiful brows furrowed even deeper, and she let out a cold snort:

"Hmph, people from the lower realm are just people from the lower realm. They've got guts, but their strength is lacking. They can't even withstand one of my hammer blows. It seems the Douluo Continent is nothing special after all. How annoying! You're all no fun at all, and you're even using my face. I really don't know what Daddy was thinking..."

She seemed to want to say something more, but the trident pattern on her forehead suddenly flashed, and she immediately pouted, looking dissatisfied, but stopped talking and glared fiercely at the Shrek group.

"Don't let me see you again!"

After saying that, Tang Wutong quickly swung the Haotian Hammer in her hand in a pendulum-like spinning motion, and in the blink of an eye, it had become a force of wind and thunder.

In the next instant, she, who was only at the sixth level of cultivation, transformed into a blue-gold rainbow and was propelled into the sky by the Haotian Hammer.

As she flew, she seemed to recall something extremely pleasant, and like a demon king, she laughed heartily at the aerial soul-guided probe:

"The young lady has arrived! Everyone get out of the way!"

What is this operation?

The Shrek Academy students were dumbfounded. Could it be that the Clear Sky Hammer wasn't the Clear Sky Hammer, but some kind of soul tool?

Huo Yuhao was the quickest to react. With Dong'er by his side, he had no mind to care about some random young lady.
