Douluo: Dragon King's Tai Chi Mystery

Gu Yue crossed her arms and said coldly, "I won't eat!"

"Who told you to eat it!"

Na'er turned her head haughtily, putting on a different face: "Zhao Xuanzhen, you want to eat, right!"

"They came up with excuses too quickly; we couldn't keep up," Zhao Xuanzhen said regretfully.

"No, you can skip everyone else, you have to try it!"

Na'er grinded her little tiger teeth, "If you don't eat it, I'll eat you!"

Out of respect for Na'er's hard work, Zhao Xuanzhen picked up a piece of dark carbon fiber sausage, took a small bite, and his facial features instantly contorted as he turned to glare angrily at Na'er, who was feigning innocence.

Alright, you're using all your cunning on me!

Chapter 34 Evil Bone Dragon, Golden Awakening (4K)

Death Canyon.

Dark, heavy clouds coiled like a giant python, and torrential rain poured down. Two figures emerged from the downpour, and a malevolent wind blew everywhere, causing their shadows to sway unsteadily.

"Forty-nine days..."

Mu Ye sighed deeply, his face showing signs of vicissitude. He looked at Zhao Xuanzhen beside him and said, "Fighting to the limit every day is a severe test for both the body and mind. The forty-ninth day is the limit for the second awakening. Any more than that will damage the soul master's root."

Therefore, today is the last chance; it's either success or death!

"Ah."

Zhao Xuanzhen nodded slightly, his figure falling into the ghostly black canyon. His soul power surged slowly around him, and the three ten-thousand-year soul rings rose one after another, appearing exceptionally solemn against the backdrop of the storm.

With his fists clenched tightly, Mu Ye was completely baffled. His true self was the pinnacle of his original martial soul, and he should have completed his second awakening in about twenty days, and at the latest, no more than thirty days.

By the thirtieth day, a dark cloud had already settled over Mu Ye's heart. By the forty-ninth day, even the sect leader of the original body was so nervous that his palms were sweating profusely.

The second awakening is the powerful foundation for a Body Martial Soul to surpass ordinary Martial Souls. Mu Ye dared not imagine whether the Body Sect's concept would completely collapse if the legendary god-level Body Martial Soul could not be awakened a second time.

“Xuanzhen”.

As if he had made a decision, Makino's eyes gradually sharpened as he said, "Today's extreme training is different from the past. Your enemies are no longer waves of weak undead, but the last remaining monsters in Death Valley."

I will break the seal of my ancestors and awaken a necromancer king far surpassing the limits of a Soul Master.

Most of the disciples of the Body Sect who have undergone a second awakening are three-ring Soul Masters or four-ring Soul Sect Masters. The life of every Body Sect disciple is extremely precious. The Body Sect does not allow the existence of super-powerful dangers in Death Valley and regularly takes action to eliminate those monsters.

There was one exception: a spirit of the dead. Its bloodline was extremely noble in life, and its ancestor was reluctant to kill it easily. So the spirit was sealed away and left behind a ancestral precept.

If a prodigy is born in the Body Sect, and ordinary pressure cannot push him to his limits, then release this undead spirit and let it become the final touchstone for the second awakening of the Body Sect's descendants!

Streams of dark golden light rushed into the core of Death Canyon. Mu Ye used the Body Sect's secret technique to break the seal, and the sleeping monsters began to awaken!

"Roar--"

A hoarse roar came from afar, and a hurricane swept through Death Valley. Thousands of withered branches, along with torrential rain and sand, condensed into a black vortex, and the fire of the soul lit up an eerie green in the dark world!

The undead creature craved the breath of life. Upon sensing the alluring life energy, it unfurled its wide, bony wings, and the king rose from the ground, unveiling its mysterious veil!

A dragon-shaped creature with an indestructible body forged from jet-black bones. Its skull is ferocious and terrifying, with two clusters of green flames leaping in its empty eye sockets. Its claws are full of bony protrusions, and three spear-like bone spikes grow backward from its joints.

King of Death Valley, the Evil Bone Dragon!

The evil bone dragon roared to the sky, and the wind and rain seemed to be its subjects, tearing apart the clouds with its roar. The king's roar echoed throughout Death Valley, and fear welled up in the hearts of the undead creatures. They trembled and crawled, not daring to approach even a little.

With a sudden flap of its bone wings, the evil bone dragon descended like a black meteor. Even from a hundred meters away, Zhao Xuanzhen still felt a tearing pain as if his face were being ripped apart by the strong wind!

The first and third spirit rings shone brightly at the same time!

His once black hair turned a pale, glass-like white, and Zhao Xuanzhen's entire body shimmered with a translucent, jade-like luster. Black and white energy converged to form a rotating Tai Chi diagram. His third soul skill, the Way of Limitless, was amplified and enhanced, stacking with the advanced version of his first soul skill, Qi at Will, Qi that Moves Mountains and Rivers!

With Zhao Xuanzhen's heaven-defying combat stats, a single full-power Qi Strike could easily annihilate 99% of Soul Masters of the same level on the Douluo Continent. Yet, a hint of human mockery appeared in the Evil Spirit Bone Dragon's green beast eyes.

With a pair of dragon claws slashing out, a gale-force wind surged forth like an air blast, and circular black ripples stirred the rain, forcefully suppressing the Qi-moving mountains and rivers with even more violent force!

"boom!!!"

The earth cracked under the explosion of the two skills, and the vegetation was instantly pulverized into dust. Zhao Xuanzhen's pupils turned dark blue, and thick walls of earth rose up all around him!

"A chilling wind, malevolent water..."

The wall of earth shattered under the weight, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Zhao Xuanzhen's mouth. The blood was a chilling, dark blue color. He recognized the attributes of the evil spirit bone dragon: the evil wind and water elements!

Depending on their bloodline in life, bone dragons possess different attributes. The Bone Dragon King under the Holy Spirit Cult Master ten thousand years ago possessed both wind and fire attributes, while the evil spirit bone dragon controlling wind and water before Zhao Xuanzhen would only be more troublesome on a stormy night, thanks to its almost domain-like environmental amplification!

Mu Ye gazed at Zhao Xuanzhen and the Evil Spirit Bone Dragon from afar. After forty-nine days of high-frequency battles, and having reviewed the True Self's three major soul skills, Tai Chi Fist, and Territory Dao Techniques over and over again, he knew Zhao Xuanzhen's limits all too well.

To describe the difference between the man and the dragon with numbers, the Evil Spirit Bone Dragon's combat power is three times that of Zhao Xuanzhen. The two are completely overwhelmed. Apart from the second awakening of his martial soul, Zhao Xuanzhen has no way to survive!

"Roar--"

The evil spirit bone dragon opened its huge mouth and grinned maliciously. Human soul skills could not shake it. After thousands of years, it was reborn and wanted to enjoy the thrill of hunting life to the fullest!

The dragon flapped its bony wings and circled in the air, the sharp sound of bones grinding together filling the air. Its body cast jagged shadows. The evil bony dragon longed to see the fear on human faces, like a hunter watching its prey struggle before launching a fatal blow.

Zhao Xuanzhen disappointed the evil spirit bone dragon. Showing no awareness of being prey, he remained unmoved, like a majestic mountain peak, looking directly at the dragon. In the depths of his dark blue eyes, a glimmer of gold was faintly visible.

The air pressure seemed to have increased slightly, and the Evil Bone Dragon knew it was no illusion; it was something that was actually happening. A mixture of dark blue and golden light emanated from the human's majestic eyes, and a deep killing intent appeared.

The evil Bone Dragon had a premonition of danger and decided to stop playing the hunter's game. Its tail, like a long whip, came down from the sky. The speed and power of the dragon's tail swing were so great that it even created a phantom in the storm!

The next instant, the three black ten-thousand-year soul rings beneath Zhao Xuanzhen's feet flashed, and an extremely dazzling golden light shone forth, outlining mysterious golden patterns on his exposed skin, much like the veins of liquid gold flowing under his skin.

A golden figure rose from the ground, tall and slender with a handsome face, resembling Zhao Xuanzhen himself. His pupils transformed into two vortexes of molten gold, and waves of energy swept outwards. His hair flew wildly like burning flames, his heart pounded, and he crushed the rain.

"Gold-level Second Awakening!"

Reflecting the dazzling golden light in his eyes, Mu Ye felt his blood surging. Hard work pays off, and on the last day of the forty-nine days, his true self awakened for the second time!

The second awakening is divided into four levels: Iron, Bronze, Silver, and Gold.

After the original martial soul undergoes a second awakening, the martial soul instantly experiences a qualitative leap, like a 100,000-year-old soul beast breaking through its limits and becoming a ferocious beast that roams the world.

Most of the original martial souls are only at the Iron level and have undergone a second awakening; the Bronze level is already considered excellent.

Silver-level Soul Masters are considered the backbone of the team and only appear on important parts of the body. When a Silver-level Soul Master undergoes a second awakening, their combat power leaps by one level!

The Body Sect used to believe that the strongest second awakening was the Silver level, while the Gold level was achieved by successive Body Sect Masters through cultivating the secrets of the Body, resulting in an overall ability that could even triple their original strength!

Mu Ye had guessed that the true self might be able to break through the inherent knowledge of his predecessors and achieve a second awakening of the innate gold level, but Zhao Xuanzhen's long silence of forty-eight days made him dare not fantasize and silently prayed that he would just need to awaken!

Witnessing the second awakening of the innate gold level, Mu Ye was so excited that he almost danced with joy!

On the battlefield of Death Valley, Zhao Xuanzhen clenched his right fist and unleashed the Tai Chi Yang Hand with extreme force and ferocity. The light and shadow movements synchronized with the second awakening of the Gold Rank, and the majestic aura of a sovereign filled the air. The evil spirit bone dragon's tail swing came to an abrupt halt. The entire dragon spun and flew a hundred meters away, snapping large swathes of strange trees in half!

A thunderclap exploded at just the right moment, thunder roared across the sky, and lightning dyed the sky a fiery white color.

The second battle between humans and dragons begins.

The evil bone dragon shook its chaotic head, and its soul fire surged, completely enraging this undead king.

Evil winds and dark waters—the two attributes that the evil Bone Dragon was so proud of—went into chaos. A fierce wind arose, the air became turbulent, and fallen leaves and mud were swirled into a black waterspout, transforming into a gigantic maw that devoured the heavens and earth. The Bone Dragon's roar could be heard throughout the world!

His clothes fluttered in the wind, and Zhao Xuanzhen's golden eyes were filled with cold solemnity. The brown dragon of the earth veins turned over, and the rock wall was several times thicker than before, easily blocking the wind blades. The broken rocks collided with the roaring evil water, exploding into bright red light spots.

The True Self Gold Level Second Awakening is an all-round enhancement, wiping out the huge gap between Zhao Xuanzhen and the Evil Spirit Bone Dragon, putting the two on the same level!

Witnessing humanity's overpowered abilities to match its own, the evil Bone Dragon could not accept the cruel reality. With a flap of its bone wings, a raging wind whipped up a torrent of water that swept towards Zhao Xuanzhen. The water was not rain falling from the sky, but a viscous, foul-smelling black swamp that eroded the earth!

The character "巽" means "storm".

The character "坎" (kǎn) signifies ice.

The two major elements, wind and water, turned against their master, causing the black swamp to freeze in mid-air and frost to spread, transforming into a raging tide of ice crystals that surged back at the master.

The Soul Flame of the Evil Bone Dragon suddenly leaped, expending all its power and painstakingly unleashing its Soul Skill over half a day, only to be turned against it in a single second!

When the numerical values ​​of both sides are close, the battle comes down to strategy. Even the Silver Dragon King, the ancestor of the dragon race, suffers a loss. How can the Evil Spirit Bone Dragon, which controls only two attributes, be a match for the Eight Trigrams and Strange Gates?

With a furious roar, the dragon's tail swept back, and the terrifying brute force of the evil spirit bone dragon, capable of shaking mountains, crushed the ice tide into dust. The hurricane whipped up by its wings uprooted the strange trees growing in Death Valley.

Panting heavily, the evil spirit bone dragon stared at Zhao Xuanzhen like an impotent, furious husband, its vertical pupils reflecting the golden light and shadow opposite it.

“The character ‘震’ means thunder.”

Thunder roared across Death Valley, its branches of lightning painting the black sky with gold and white. Under the light of this lightning, a symbol of righteousness, the undead fled in terror, and even the evil bone dragon couldn't help but retreat, a rare moment of cowardice rising within it.

Lightning surged, and electric snakes danced wildly in the clouds. A bolt of lightning suddenly struck down, condensing into a thunder spear in Zhao Xuanzhen's palm. The spear was wrapped with Bagua Zhen characters, and lightning flashed, illuminating his cold, stone-carved profile.

Sensing imminent doom, the evil spirit bone dragon flapped its wings wildly, and the eerie winds and foul waters merged into a black curtain that blotted out the sky. Countless skeletons and ghostly faces lurked within, baring their fangs and claws as they pounced on Zhao Xuanzhen.

Death Valley seemed to be split in two at this moment, one half churning with the filthy black curtain summoned by the bone dragon, and the other half reflecting the light and shadow of Zhao Xuanzhen's second awakening into a flowing golden ocean.

Zhao Xuanzhen's body erupted with blazing golden light, the Eight Trigrams and Qimen Dunjia formation surged and expanded outwards, and the dark curtain of Yin wind and evil waters paused and floated between heaven and earth, carrying a kind of staggered beauty.

The tip of the Thunder Spear pierced through everything in its path, tearing apart the eerie winds and causing the foul waters to evaporate into nothingness. Finally, it precisely pierced the Bone Dragon's brow, causing its bones to crumble inch by inch. The dragon's mournful roar echoed throughout the heavens.

A ray of moonlight pierced through the clouds, illuminating the dazzling golden figure, while beneath his feet, the black dragon bones turned to dust and were swept away by the wind into the night.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Makino landed on the earth and shouted "Good!" three times in a row. There was no movement for forty-eight days. On the last day, he awakened to the Gold level. The old comrade was really excited after experiencing such a dramatic change in his life.

This is a unique second awakening of the innate gold level, a feat unparalleled in the ten-thousand-year history of the Body Sect!

Moreover, his original martial soul had three awakenings. Mu Ye simply couldn't imagine how powerful his true self would become after the three awakenings!

Compared to the unexpected joy of Mu Ye, Zhao Xuanzhen seemed much calmer. Because he had been in a weakened state for the first thirty days, the extreme training had not fully stimulated the potential of his martial soul. On the surface, it was the forty-ninth day, but in reality, it was almost the same as the nineteenth day.

Knowing himself best, Zhao Xuanzhen had long sensed the unusual movement of his True Self Martial Soul, and today's second awakening was a natural progression.

"Xiao Hong."

"I'm here."

Makino called out loudly, and a red mecha appeared, about six meters tall, with delicate and gorgeous dark gold patterns and a streamlined design that looked like a work of art.

Red, a god-level mech.

"Today is a good day, so I'll reward you by letting you enjoy my red-level mecha!" Mu Ye chuckled, opened the mecha's cockpit, and invited Zhao Xuanzhen to ride with him.

After they both took their seats, the red-level mech emitted a beam of light from its back and carried the two of them to Heaven Dou City.

Makino activated the autopilot mode and said leisurely, "Your Golden Awakening was really difficult; it took you forty-nine days to complete."

Alright, good things come to those who wait. When future generations record your glorious life, Zhao Xuanzhen, they should also write that the current sect leader, Mu Ye, contributed greatly to the second awakening of the True Self, accounting for at least 60% of the credit!

Glancing at Mu Ye, who was smugly taking credit, Zhao Xuanzhen joked, "I think there's a problem. The second awakening of my true self was 30% due to the senior, 10% each to Na'er and Gu Yue, and the remaining half was definitely due to my own persistence and efforts."

Mu Ye suddenly felt suffocated and turned to look at Zhao Xuanzhen: "Is this reasonable?"

"Perfectly reasonable."

Zhao Xuanzhen said with certainty, "Yes, the game can't be started without a host!"

Chapter 35 Tianhai Alliance Grand Competition, Na'er: Zhao Xuanzhen, this is what true heroism looks like! (4K)

The sharp aura of the red-level mecha cleaved through the dark clouds and torrential rain, flying straight toward Tiandou City.

On his way to Donghai City, Zhao Xuanzhen had ridden Leng Yaozhu's Heavenly Fire Phoenix. Now, riding Mu Ye's Red-level mecha, he had a direct comparison of the two mechas. From multiple perspectives such as speed, stability, and comfort, the Red-level mecha completely outclassed the Black-level mecha.

"Even if it's just a means of transportation, a red-level vehicle is preferred," Zhao Xuanzhen remarked.

Upon hearing this, Mu Ye clicked his tongue and said, "Using a red-level mecha as a means of transportation is something few soul masters on the entire Douluo Continent would dare to be so extravagant. Moreover, red-level mechas have endless uses and are almost omnipotent. Using them only for transportation is a complete waste of their resources. I, the sect master, will now open your eyes to something new."

Little Red, transform!

"Yes, boss."

A gentle female voice came from inside the red-level mech. Accompanied by a metallic clang, the humanoid mech transformed into an airplane, its wings edged like blades, and its dark golden light exuded a dangerous aura.

Immediately afterwards, the red-level mech vanished into thin air and reappeared a kilometer away.

"Improve the instantaneous transfer of life functions, and freely complete spatial jumps within a kilometer range," Makino said smugly.

"Among the countless martial souls on the continent, the original martial soul is the most compatible with mecha. When a mecha breaks through to the red level, it can fuse with its own soul spirit. Little Red fused with one of my soul spirits, just like my clone."

When mecha were mentioned, Mu Ye's eyes lit up with fervor, and he had endless topics to discuss. His complete immersion in exploring the world of mecha, even at the cost of forgoing the chance to reach level 95 Super Douluo, demonstrates the depth of this Body Sect Master's obsession.

Mu Ye continued, “Although red-level mechs are not as powerful as four-word battle armors, they are more comprehensive in their functions. I strongly suggest that you build a red-level mech that matches your martial soul ability; it will surely give you a huge surprise.”

"If I have some free time in the future, I'll give it a try."

Zhao Xuanzhen nodded slightly. His three secondary professions were all at the fourth level, and he had a basic understanding of mechs and battle armor. Compared to the complex and cumbersome battle armor, mechs were much simpler, so he could consider making a red-level mech.
