Douluo: Dragon King's Tai Chi Mystery

Na'er: Waaaaah, it's been seven days already. Are you really so busy that you don't even have time to reply to a message in three seconds?

A soul-guided communication call was made, and the other party answered instantly.

"Zhao Xuanzhen, are you still alive?!"

"Still there."

"Why won't she reply to me? Is she really that clingy?!" Na'er said indignantly.

"Don't talk nonsense, I have condensed the first soul core..."

After briefly recounting his experiences over the past seven days, Zhao Xuanzhen apologized to Na'er and then asked with some confusion, "I was in seclusion cultivating and couldn't reply to your messages. Why didn't you ask Gu Yue?"

"I asked her, and for seven whole days, she didn't reply once—she's just playing dead!" Na'er shrieked sharply. "I thought you two were so busy that you'd lost track of time and didn't know what the world was like!"

Zhao Xuanzhen's face turned yellow. "Seven days at a time? You really dare to think that way? Do you think I'm some kind of Iron-Kidney Douluo?!"

"Alright, I'm glad to know you're alright. Just remember to protect your pure heart and soul! If anything happens, come find me. The brave and fearless Na'er will set off immediately to rescue you, you idiot!"

The 99th floor of the Spirit Pagoda headquarters.

Two beautiful figures were reclining on the sofa. Yuan Enhui was holding a high-level mecha repair manual, working hard to improve her secondary profession level, while not forgetting to spare a bit of attention to the chattering Na'er beside her.

As soon as Zhao Xuanzhen's soul communication rang, Na'er, who had been staring at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle like a salted fish, instantly became full of energy.

After ending the call, Na'er's appetite immediately returned. She went into the inner room and brought out two large bags of precious snacks, piling them in front of the coffee table, intending to soothe her seven days of sorrow with delicious food. After giving one bag to Yuanen Yehui, she grumbled softly:

"Yuan En, they all want to steal from my house!"

I only trust you!

Xuan Yue and Xing are now separated by vast distances. The Ascension Platform in Xingluo City is severely damaged, and Leng Yaozhu has no choice but to call the Bai sisters to come and assist. If it weren't for Yuanen Yehui's cooking partner, the dignified Queen Na'er would have been reduced to a lonely widow!

Yuan Enyehui had followed Zhao Xuanzhen for four years, always working diligently and conscientiously, with a good balance between work and rest. With his thick eyebrows, big eyes, and long eyelashes, Na'er found his upright and honest appearance quite remarkable!

"Na'er, actually, boss..."

Yuan Enhui's two thin eyebrows were tightly furrowed together, almost revealing the relationship between Zhao Xuanzhen and Le Zhengyu.

"I'm sorry, Na'er, I'm also the boss's person..." Looking at the silver-haired girl with bright, sparkling eyes, Yuan Enhui's conscience suddenly ached.

An excellent employee is like a telephone pole standing on the street, always clear about their own position, and never getting involved in the boss's personal affairs!

……

Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

"Xuanzhen, you've emerged from seclusion. Did the soul core condensation go smoothly?"

Gu Yue pushed open the door, her stunning face beaming with a smile. Her dark, lacquer-like eyes held the vastness of the world, clear and serene, like a lake gently rippling.

Wearing a mask, Di Tian followed closely behind Gu Yue, appearing as the Black Dragon Douluo, the master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.

"With such a luxurious setup as the Yin-Yang Spirit Coffin Turtle and the Two Elements Soaring Crane, if I still can't condense my first soul core, I'll be too ashamed to show my face," Zhao Xuanzhen joked.

"Who said that? At worst, I'll find you even more treasures!"

Gu Yue slightly raised her chin, revealing her true colors as a wealthy woman, which made Di Tian's eyelids twitch wildly.

"Having a Soul Core or not is a different concept for a Soul Master. You need to adapt to the new power of the Soul Core. Why don't you let my father train with you?"

"This……"

Zhao Xuanzhen and Di Tian locked eyes. Using the number one ferocious beast of Douluo Continent as a sparring partner seemed a bit extravagant.

"In terms of pure combat power, even Sea God Pavilion Master Yun Ming is no match for him. Aren't you itching to have a go?"

Gu Yue had absolute confidence in Di Tian; the power of the Dragon God Claw, personally passed down by the Dragon God, was no joke.

Di Tian interjected, "Huo Yuhao, the founder of the Spirit Pagoda, was a seven-ring Soul Saint who condensed his first Soul Core. Yun Ming, the most talented Sky-Supporting Douluo in the last thousand years, was a six-ring Soul Emperor. You are more outstanding than them."

"Now that Yue'er has chosen you, I also want to see your fighting prowess."

Having said that, Zhao Xuanzhen said no more. The three of them arrived at an open space in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts. Zhao Xuanzhen and Di Tian stood facing each other, while Gu Yue gazed at the battlefield from afar. The two ferocious beasts, Crimson King and Demon Spirit, also came over to watch the battle with great interest.

In the forest clearing, sunlight, like scattered gold, pierced through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the two men's shoulders. Di Tian said calmly, "No need to hold back and go all out. I will remain still and take three of your moves."

Although Di Tian's old injuries had not yet healed, he could only say two words when facing a Soul King of level 50 or so: control him.

Zhao Xuanzhen took a deep breath, his toes crushing into the decaying leaves, and layers of black and white energy rose around him, turning the withered branches and leaves into dust.

His figure charged forward like an arrow released from a bow, the soul power brought by the soul core surged wildly, Zhao Xuanzhen's aura continued to grow stronger, his whole person was like a sun shining brightly, his right fist gathered power and then pulled back, before the fist even arrived, the force of the wind had already plowed a deep trench in the ground.

Beng Jin · Ban Lan Chui!

Di Tian kept his promise, his tall body remaining motionless, his chest rising and falling slightly beneath his black robe, his skin gleaming with a cold, obsidian-like light.

The muffled thud of fist striking flesh exploded into a shockwave, the black and white light sweeping wildly. The explosive power in that instant was so strong that the fist force transformed into a large black and white halo that spread out, causing the surrounding air to twist violently.

Beast God Di Tian was indeed Beast God Di Tian. Zhao Xuanzhen felt as if he had crashed into an insurmountable mountain. A huge shock came from the opponent's chest, which was as hard as black iron, and he had to retreat to dissipate the force.

"Not bad!"

Di Tian uttered two words heavily: the power of a soul skill is closely related to the age of the soul ring, but the combat skill depends on the user. Zhao Xuanzhen's all-out Collapse and Block Hammer is more powerful than the sixth soul skill of most Soul Emperors!

The Crimson King and the demon spirit secretly observed their master and found that the smug look in Gu Yue's eyes was so obvious that it couldn't be more obvious. It was just like putting your beloved under the spotlight and receiving the praise and envious gaze of the whole world!

"Come again!"

Golden flames suddenly ignited in his pupils, and the amplification of the Golden Awakening surged through his meridians. His fifth soul skill was activated. Zhao Xuanzhen raised the Supreme Yang White Flame with his left palm and wrapped the Taiyin Black Flame with his right palm. When his palms came together, the Yin and Yang energies twisted into a chaotic vortex, and a lotus platform exploded in the center of the vortex!

The main body's martial soul awakens for the second time, and the fifth soul skill, Chaos Lotus, is superimposed!

After condensing its soul core, the Chaos Lotus's power was at least twice as strong as before, its blazing light and dark energy merging into a torrent of flames that could scorch the heavens and boil the seas. Di Tian stood with his hands behind his back, a low roar like that of a blue dragon rolling from his throat. The sound waves transformed into a black dragon, and the Yin-Yang fire waves shattered like glass. Before the flowing fire could even hit the ground, it was shattered into embers by the black dragon and scattered!

The first, third, and fourth spirit rings blazed brightly one after another, accompanied by the cracking sounds of bones breaking.

With his Qi moving with his heart, the Way of Limitless, the Tai Chi Domain, and the Body Secret Technique Battle Bone all unleashed at once, five pieces of Tai Chi Battle Armor attached to his body, and Zhao Xuanzhen's soul power fluctuations instantly soared to another level!

His long, ink-black hair flowed freely, and his Golden Awakening seemed to be infused with new vitality. Golden lines lit up and spread outwards. From his chest to his entire body, the patterns of the Golden Awakening seemed to grow, and the Yin-Yang Soul Core on his chest shone brightly!

A terrifying suction force suddenly descended, and the elemental energy of heaven and earth in the air converged towards Zhao Xuanzhen at an astonishing speed.

The Qimen formation unfolds, and the Bagua of the Earth Plate causes the heavens and earth to lose their color!

Thunder from the Zhen position cleaved through the clouds, while stone cones rose from the earth's veins at the Kun position. Fire from the Li position and water from the Kan position boiled and churned within the array's core. At the center of the array, the Tai Chi Yin-Yang symbol moved, each of the eight trigrams causing the space to tremble!

Zhao Xuanzhen soared into the air, his golden eyes majestic and brilliant. He manipulated various elements of heaven and earth in his palms, his imposing figure resembling a god who controlled the world.

The human before him effortlessly manipulated elemental power, its might even surpassing that of the Silver Dragon King, who was hailed as the Lord of the Elements. The resolute face beneath the Emperor's mask twisted violently as he stared in utter shock at the radiant Gu Yue beside him.

My lord, please stop for a moment. The Dragon Queen seems to be much more powerful than you!

Chapter 96 Humanity and Bestiality, Holy Spirit Raid, Two Super Douluo, Dark Phoenix Leng Yulai (4K)

Di Tian's pupils dilated slightly. He thought that the Silver Dragon King's control over the elements was already invincible. And Zhao Xuanzhen was some kind of reincarnation of a god!

The Qimen array plate flickered with a ghostly light, and the entire Ten Thousand Beasts Forest echoed with the roar of the earthly Dao techniques. An indescribable power forcefully commanded the elements of heaven and earth to gather.

Gu Yue, Di Tian, ​​Chi Wang, and Yao Ling—everyone present could clearly see the streams of light representing the various elements of the world converging into a vortex. Within the vortex, the elements overlapped and merged, violently colliding to weave together the rudiments of a mixed elemental realm—a beauty that was both mesmerizing and deadly!

"The character '乾' (Qian) gathers spiritual energy!"

Zhao Xuanzhen held his hands up to the sky. In the definition of Qimen magic, elements should be like this: they can be observed, controlled, and carefully integrated into a world of elemental torrents, just like now!

Seeing this, both the Crimson King and the Demon Spirit were stunned. They couldn't even imagine that one day in the future, Zhao Xuanzhen would break through to the Limit Douluo level, wielding the power of heaven and earth at will, turning clouds into rain with a flick of his wrist!

At that time, even if all the peak quasi-gods of the Douluo Continent, including Sky-Supporting Douluo Yun Ming, Sea God Douluo Chen Xinjie, and Battle Heaven Douluo Qian Gu Die Ting, were tied together, they would not be as threatening as Zhao Xuanzhen. His heaven-defying mechanism is even greater than that of the Silver Dragon King, and the Soul Beast race will never have a chance to rise again!

As the spirit of Qian descended, a wild and passionate dragon roar resounded. Behind Di Tian, ​​an endless black dragon phantom appeared, soaring upwards and boldly entering the elemental world constructed by the spirit gathering!

"boom--"

A black mushroom cloud exploded in the sky, the elemental world collapsed and was destroyed, and the black dragon vanished without a trace.

Zhao Xuanzhen landed on the ground, his dark eyes fixed silently on the Beast God Di Tian, ​​who stood with his hands behind his back. The gap in cultivation between the two was insurmountable, and even with the simultaneous activation of his Yin-Yang Soul Core, Golden Awakening, some of his two-word battle armor, and Territory Dao Techniques, Di Tian did not feel nervous or flustered.

"Senior Black Dragon's cultivation is unfathomable, I admire you greatly." Zhao Xuanzhen clasped his hands in a salute, his expression calm and composed. He was neither discouraged nor doubtful of himself because of the unfavorable battle. Compared to Di Tian, ​​who had cultivated for over 800,000 years, his soul power was nothing more than that of a greenhorn.

"In you, I see a glorious future destined for humanity."

Di Tian spoke slowly, his expression complex.

He is the most knowledgeable being in Douluo Continent. He served as the captain of the Dragon God's guard, was the leader of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, witnessed the God of Emotions rise from being easily defeated to becoming the number one on the continent, and experienced the entire process of the rise and fall of the Soul Beast race.

If Zhao Xuanzhen becomes the leader of humanity, then humanity is destined for glory. This is Di Tian's heartfelt advice. Emperor Xuanzhen's overflowing talent is blinding!

Having learned from his mistakes, Huo Yuhao, the Spirit Ice Douluo, implemented a tax system based on equality and win-win cooperation between humans and beasts for a million years. Di Tian deeply understood that to deal with a peerless genius like Zhao Xuanzhen, one must either ensure that his soul beast never betrays him, or seize an opportunity to kill him to eliminate any future troubles!

Gu Yue clearly chose the first path, after all, Zhao Xuanzhen was related to the Soul Beast Clan's revenge plan centered on the Spirit Pagoda, and he also possessed the magical ability to amplify the Silver Dragon King's elements.

Having confirmed that the rumors were not unfounded and that Zhao Xuanzhen possessed elemental power surpassing that of the Silver Dragon King, Di Tian understood Gu Yue's thoughts.

The enemies of the Soul Beast race are not only the humans on the Douluo Continent, but the ultimate boss is the God Realm, which has established the ironclad rule that Soul Beasts cannot become gods.

Although the Douluo God Realm suddenly disappeared for some unknown reason, giving the Soul Beast Clan a sliver of opportunity to turn the tide, the God Realm will inevitably make a comeback sooner or later.

The five great god-kings were like five great mountains. Gu Yue's plan was to devour the Golden Dragon King's divine core, and then merge the Golden and Silver Kings into one to become the next generation of dragon god. However, the Golden Dragon King's divine core mysteriously disappeared, and the next generation of dragon god died prematurely.

Subordinates can only obey all decisions of their masters. Di Tian hopes that Gu Yue will achieve her wish and, with Zhao Xuanzhen's strong support, lead the soul beasts to conquer humanity, ultimately rebel against the Douluo God Realm, break the shackles that prevent soul beasts from becoming gods, and create a new Divine Dragon Realm.

Moreover, upon closer reflection, Gu Yue's words make perfect sense. Huo Yuhao deceived the Emperor Beast, whose fate was closely intertwined with that of the soul beasts, and the Silver Dragon King retaliated by stealing the Seed of Glory from humanity. It was a fair exchange, and no one should accuse the other of being despicable!

In a daze, Di Tianhuan heard someone questioning Zhao Xuanzhen about why he betrayed his race.

Love is great, no words are needed!

……

Time flies like an arrow, and the January holiday has quietly passed.

In the back garden of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, Gu Yue skillfully used the entire set of purple clay teaware, warming the pot, rinsing the tea, and moving the pot, her delicate hands flying like butterflies with practiced ease.

The dark purple teapot has a warm and smooth texture, and feels delicate and not greasy to the touch. Gu Yue specially selected the millennium-old jade spirit warm green from the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest. The aroma of tea is lingering and refreshing.

Zhao Xuanzhen sat on a stone chair to the side, a piece of silver-white spirit-forged alloy on the table. His dark eyes narrowed slightly, and his dark gold claws slashed through the air, sending metal shards flying. The spirit-forged alloy gradually took on the shape of a breastplate.

A single-word battle armor, the moon.

Gu Yue's One-Word Battle Armor.

The January holiday was not meant for idleness and enjoyment. Zhao Xuanzhen not only condensed the Yin-Yang Soul Core, going further and further down the path of exceeding the standard, but also increased the number of two-word battle armor Tai Chi to the sixth, while Gu Yue's one-word battle armor was the ninth.

This wasn't because Zhao Xuanzhen was promoting a female-first approach, but rather because the difficulty of forging two metals versus four metals was incomparable. Jiutian had a higher success rate in forging divine base alloys for the four women, Na Yuexingye.

Tai Chi can be considered the strongest two-word battle armor in the world. Its six pieces are enough to surpass a complete one-word battle armor. Zhao Xuanzhen was not in a hurry at all and remained extremely calm.

Gu Yue, holding a tea tray, stood not far from Zhao Xuanzhen, gazing at his handsome face as he worked diligently, her beautiful eyes curving like exquisite crescent moons.

"Meow-"

The Crimson Flame Spirit Cat lay lazily at Zhao Xuanzhen's feet, yawning. Besides the Crimson Flame Spirit Cat, a number of soul beasts had gathered around Zhao Xuanzhen.

The Thunder Beast, which looks just like Pikachu, the Rainbow Pheasant with its colorful plumage, the Radiant Butterfly with its gorgeous wings... This game of "Kayan" (a game featuring attractive characters) is full of pretty little creatures.

These soul beasts originally did not have the right to enter the Ancient Castle of Ten Thousand Beasts. However, Gu Yue later discovered that Zhao Xuanzhen was interested in them. Considering that she wanted Zhao Xuanzhen to be truly willing to join the Soul Beast Sect, Gu Yue made an exception and allowed the little guys to come in as playmates.

Upon seeing Gu Yue arrive, the Crimson Flame Cat hurriedly approached, meowing and gesturing for help carrying the tray. Gu Yue gently shook her head, declining the Crimson Flame Cat's offer, and looked at Zhao Xuanzhen with gentle eyes.

Sunlight, fragmented and broken by the branches of the ancient tree, falls on the young man, creating a play of light and shadow. His fair and clean face reflects the faint glow of the light spots on his white shirt.

This was the most enjoyable and comfortable time they spent together.

There were no messy classes, no disturbances from that silver-haired idiot, and the Emperor Heaven Crimson King Demon Spirit was sensible and rarely showed up. The Ancient Castle of Ten Thousand Beasts seemed like a small home that belonged only to the two of them.

Gu Yue is not the lively and bright Na'er; she is quiet, composed, and meticulous—that is Gu Yue's true nature. In their daily interactions, they don't need to explain everything. Occasionally, when their eyes meet, they seem to touch each other's emotions, experiencing a wonderful sense of mutual understanding. They can let their guard down and shed their pretenses in each other's presence.

With no pressure and only peace of mind, Gu Yue unconsciously curled up her rosy, full lips. She liked this kind of life, and her heart was even somewhat immersed in it.

Once the soul beast has completed its revenge and vanquished all the evil gods of the divine realm, she will share everything with Zhao Xuanzhen and spend the rest of their lives happily together.

"Chong-"

With the final stroke completed, Zhao Xuanzhen retracted the dark gold claws. The exquisite silver-white battle armor reflected the golden sun, adorned with purple star lines along the edges, and the undulating curves of the chest plate were breathtaking.

"Come, have a sip of tea."

Gu Yue reached out and handed her a teacup, while Zhao Xuanzhen gave her the freshly made breastplate.

With a gentle breath, Zhao Xuanzhen took a sip of Yu Ling Nuan Cui tea. Gu Yue's choice of tea was indeed extraordinary. It was warm and comforting, like a stove burning in the cold winter, with an endless aftertaste.

The battle armor made of spirit alloy requires a blood sacrifice to recognize its master. Gu Yue made a mark with her fingertip, and a bead of crimson blood dripped down like a long thread.

The armor fluttered up, imprinting itself on Gu Yue's shapely figure, which surpassed that of most girls her age, and then merged into the depths of her body.

Seeing that Gu Yue was doing well, Zhao Xuanzhen fed the Crimson Flame Cat a piece of dried fish and casually asked, "Gu Yue, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has a very deep connection with soul beasts. Senior Black Dragon and Senior Purple Dragon both have dragon attribute martial souls, right? How come you are an elementalist who seems to have no connection with soul beasts?"
