Douluo Continent: I came from Demon Slayer!

After a quick dinner, the two discussed taking turns keeping watch, and finally decided that Dugu Yan would keep watch for the first half of the night, and Lin Yang for the second half.

That being said, neither of them would be so carefree as to go to sleep.

For Soul Masters, cultivation is the best form of rest.

The first half of the night passed peacefully.

But in the middle of the night, Lin Yang, who was on night watch, suddenly opened his eyes.

The transparent world had already opened when he opened his eyes; a ball of light and shadow was moving at high speed, and its direction was the same as where they were.

Whoosh!

Just as Lin Yang was about to get up, a gust of evil wind rushed straight from behind him, its sharp fangs aimed directly at Dugu Yan's neck.

Lin Yang didn't even blink or summon his martial soul; in a flash, he was already blocking behind Dugu Yan.

He clenched his fist and threw a straight punch at that gaping, blood-red mouth.

boom--!

"Awooo—!"

With a muffled thud of flesh colliding, the soul beast let out a mournful howl as its head was smashed backward and sent flying like a cannonball.

After knocking down several large trees, it finally crashed heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Lin Yang withdrew his fist and then realized that it was a Gale Leopard, which looked to be around three thousand years old.

However, this swift leopard was in a rather pitiful state at the moment.

A fist-sized dent appeared on its face, from which blood was gushing out.

Two canine teeth, as sharp as daggers, were broken in half and hung crookedly from the side of his mouth.

Just as Lin Yang was about to finish off this uninvited guest, Dugu Yan's voice rang out from the side.

"Brother Lin Yang, let me do it!"

Lin Yang was taken aback, turned to look at Dugu Yan, raised an eyebrow, and reminded her.

"Senior, this soul beast already has three thousand years of cultivation."

Although he had nearly killed it with a single punch, it didn't mean that the Gale Leopard was no threat.

A cold smile curled at the corner of Dugu Yan's lips, a dangerous glint in her eyes.

"Hmph, so what? I, Dugu Yan, am not just a pretty face."

She paused, her eyes sparkling, her voice carrying a hint of coquettishness.

"Besides, isn't it with you, Lin Didi, watching over things?"

Lin Yang shrugged, naturally not stopping him, and took two steps back to make room for him.

Dugu Yan leaped into the air, completing the Martial Soul Possession in mid-air.

Its slender snake tail swished, and two yellow soul rings pulsed slowly around its body.

Dugu Yan's eyes gleamed faintly in the darkness; they were the gaze of a predator.

The Gale Leopard struggled to its feet, shook its head, and a large amount of blood flowed from its wounds, covering half of its face.

However, when facing Dugu Yan, it still let out a low roar.

At this moment, the Gale Leopard was already thinking of retreating, and its intentions were seen through by Dugu Yan.

"Trying to run? Not so easy!"

After saying that, Dugu Yan took the initiative to launch an attack.

However, as soon as she came into contact with the Gale Leopard, Dugu Yan's heart skipped a beat.

She originally thought that a soul beast that could be sent flying by Lin Yang's punch couldn't be that strong.

But when she actually faced it, she suddenly realized that it was Lin Yang who was strong, not the weak leopard.

Even though she was severely injured, the speed of the Gale Leopard made it difficult for her to keep up for a while.

Claws tore through the air, slicing past her side repeatedly, forcing her to retreat.

Fortunately, the Azure Phosphorous Poisonous Dragon Martial Soul greatly enhanced her close combat ability, so that although she was at a disadvantage, she was not defeated at the beginning. Moreover, her poison could also have some effect on the Gale Leopard.

Lin Yang naturally noticed Dugu Yan's weakness as well.

Her two soul skills, Azure Phosphorus Red Poison and Azure Phosphorus Blue Poison, are both control skills that can eliminate pain and increase her own attack power and speed.

This must be a soul ring that Dugu Bo specifically chose to slow down the effects of the poison on Dugu Yan.

This soul ring configuration is indeed good for fighting in the arena, but in a real life-or-death battle, it cannot unleash the full power that a poison-type soul ring should have.

Even though Old Poison Master is jokingly called the weakest Title Douluo, when it comes to large-scale killing, which Douluo can compare to him?

One person can slaughter an entire city; this is no joke.

Just then, Gale Leopard also realized that the woman opposite him seemed to be nothing special.

With a roar, it transformed into a blur and pounced straight at Dugu Yan.

The speed was astonishing; in the moonlight, only a blurry gray shadow could be seen.

Facing the gray shadow, Dugu Yan neither dodged nor avoided, but directly blocked the attack with her arms in front of her chest, trying to withstand the blow with her scales.

boom!

Lone Goose shuddered and stumbled back a few steps.

The sharp claws slashed across her arms, tearing apart several emerald scales and drawing blood, but Dugu Yan didn't even flinch.

Instead, taking advantage of the opportunity, it exhaled a cloud of dark green poisonous mist from its small mouth.

This is the poison at the source of Dugu Yan's martial spirit, which she has always regarded as her last trump card.

After the martial soul evolved, the power of this primordial poison became even greater than before.

When these poisonous mists came into contact with the wounds on the Gale Leopard's face, it was as if a chemical reaction had occurred; the bright red blood instantly turned black and emitted a foul stench.

The skin around the wound began to ulcerate, and the ulceration spread at a visible rate.

The Gale Leopard let out a mournful howl.

Dugu Yan took a few steps back to avoid the Swift Leopard's dying counterattack.

The wail lasted only a dozen breaths before the Gale Leopard's body crashed to the ground with a "bang," dark red blood flowing from its seven orifices, and it died completely from the poison.

A purple soul ring condensed above the corpse.

Won!

Dugu Yan looked at her hand, her expression somewhat complicated.

She won, defeating the Gale Leopard with three thousand years of cultivation using only level 30 soul power.

For a Soul Master who has not yet obtained his third Soul Ring, this is already a rather exaggerated achievement.

But she wasn't as happy as she had imagined; instead, she felt a little empty.

Lin Yang only used one punch, without even using his martial spirit, to nearly kill the Gale Leopard.

On the other hand, when dealing with a Gale Leopard that was only half alive, she was forced to use her primordial poison, and even then, she used the wounds left by Lin Yang to slowly grind it down to death.

The difference is too big!

She looked up at the calm-looking boy not far away, and a feeling she couldn't quite describe welled up inside her.

"Turns out I'm not that strong after all!"

From childhood to adulthood, she has always lived in the aura of being a "genius".

Her grandfather was a titled Douluo, and she herself was exceptionally talented, so she was always looked up to wherever she went.

Over time, she really started to believe that she was incredibly capable.

But only now did she realize that a visible chasm lay between her and true geniuses.

Lin Yang's casual punch was something she could only achieve by exerting all her strength.

In the shadows, Dugu Bo quietly watched all of this.

When he noticed the blood flowing down his granddaughter's arm, a pang of heartache flashed in his eyes, but he forced himself to suppress it.

In the past, he would have rushed out long ago, and he would have retaliated a thousandfold against anyone who dared to hurt his granddaughter.

But things are different now.

Previously, he was unable to resolve the backlash from the poison in Dugu Yan's body, so he could only desperately try to be good to Yan Yan, wanting to give his granddaughter all the best things.

At that time, he felt that as long as Yan Yan was happy, that was all that mattered.

With him backing us up, what's there to be afraid of regarding strength?

But now, the poison has been neutralized.

He also had to think about Yan Yan's future; he couldn't let her hide behind his old bones forever.

This Soul Hunt was originally intended to let Yan Yan witness firsthand the difference between her and Lin Yang.

Being weak is not scary; what is scary is being immersed in a false dream and unable to wake up.

"Kid, I'm begging you...!"

Dugu Bo withdrew his gaze, turned around, and disappeared into the darkness.

The future is a path that Yan Yan must walk herself.
