Douluo: Dragon King's Tai Chi Mystery

Zhao Xuanzhen and Gu Yue, being pure-blooded members of the Spirit Pagoda, remained completely unmoved, showing no interest whatsoever in the Shrek Seven Devils' so-called glory. They had already made an agreement with Na'er across the ocean: upon completing their Star Luo Journey, they would graduate directly, return to the Spirit Pagoda to face the next challenge, and strive for their future.

Wu Changkong raised his eyes and glanced at the seven people, feeling his face burning. These words were actually half true and half false, and there was a suspicion that he was trying to trick children into doing free work. The Crimson Dragon Douluo Zhuoshi was too embarrassed to speak, and the old comrade Buzhan stayed far away. Helpless, Wu Changkong, as the disciple, could only bite the bullet and go for it.

"Ms. Mai, I'm signing up for the individual battle and the mecha battle, and I'll be participating in the doubles battle with Ryuchi!"

Fortunately, Tang Wulin was very accommodating. Wu Changkong nodded slightly, his gaze subtly shifting to Zhao Xuanzhen, the main combat force that Shrek Academy had high hopes for. Yue Xingye and the other two girls, along with Le Zhengyu, also looked at Zhao Xuanzhen; his thoughts influenced the decisions of many others.

"I'm only signing up for the individual competition."

Zhao Xuanzhen chuckled and gave his answer.

The individual competition champion will be awarded a high-quality soul bone that is over 50,000 years old, with attributes that are 98% suitable for Yuanen Yehui. Shrek Academy will also give away a soul bone of the same age.

The Star Luo Royal Family believed that the Mountain Dragon King Long Yue would win the championship, and the soul bone he brought out must be of the highest quality in terms of age and type. However, the Douluo Continent has a method for soul bone fusion. They could obtain a soul bone of the same type from Shrek Academy and fuse it with a secret soul bone as a catalyst. That would be a Blood River Treasure - a 100,000-year soul bone!

Thinking about it that way, the rewards for individual battles are definitely worth it!

"Individual combat." X4

Gu Yue, Ye Xinglan, Yuan Enyehui, and Le Zhengyu followed suit and signed up for the competition.

"it is good."

Wu Changkong sighed with regret. The Sea God Pavilion's daydream was that Zhao Xuanzhen would participate in four competitions to completely crush the Monster Academy's confidence. But they were clearly after the two soul bones, and at most, they wanted to compete with Long Yue for the title of Douluo Star's number one genius.

The Sea God Pavilion's plan ultimately failed. Fortunately, Zhao Xuanzhen at least participated in the individual battle, which is the most popular and widely spread competition among the people of the Star Luo Continent. The Sea God Pavilion could barely accept the outcome.

……

Five days before the opening of the Soul Master Competition, the fourth day was the day when the Star Luo Emperor hosted a banquet for the delegation. The guests were received in the evening and dressed in their finest attire.

During this period of peace, Gu Yue and Yuan En Ye Hui showed unusual behavior. The former acted mysteriously on his own, not even telling Zhao Xuanzhen the details.

The latter stayed in the hotel repairing six Green Skull mechs. Money turned Yuanen into a nuclear-powered donkey, working day and night.

"It's done!"

Inside the luxurious room of the Star Luo Grand Hotel, Yuan En Ye Hui, wearing a cotton white vest, put down his repair tools, wiped the sweat pouring down his face, put his hands on his hips, and looked at the six reborn black-level mechs in front of him with satisfaction!

"There's a Starry Night Banquet tonight. We should sell these six mechs now; there'll be just enough time!"

Yuan Enhui quickly calculated and rushed into the bathroom, washed away the sweat, changed into casual clothes, and prepared to leave the Xingluo Hotel to sell the mecha and make a fortune!

"boss?"

The moment Yuan Enhui stepped out of the room, he saw Zhao Xuanzhen.

"Is the mech repaired?"

Zhao Xuanzhen had a meaningful smile on his lips. Yuan Enhui was still excited and failed to see the wicked thoughts in his smile. He laughed and said, "Yes, boss, after three and a half days of hard work, it's finally time to reap the rewards. I'll go find a shop on the street to sell them!"

"Let's go together, I need to buy something."

"Okay."

The two traveled together. The Xingluo Hotel was located in the city center. Outside the hotel was a bustling street lined with various shops. The shouts of vendors, the laughter of pedestrians, and the sound of wheels rolling over the cobblestones formed a huge and noisy network.

In the heart of this bustling, lively marketplace, a group of dashing guards in fine clothes surrounded a petite and exquisite young girl who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was extremely beautiful, with long hair flowing over her shoulders, and a pale yellow dress that accentuated her snow-white skin. Gold thread embroidered elegant auspicious cloud patterns on the collar and cuffs of her dress.

The captain of the guards whispered, "Your Highness, His Majesty has ordered you to return to the palace to prepare. The banquet to welcome the Douluo delegation is about to begin."

"What's the rush? Father is just too long-winded!"

The princess gave a soft snort, shook her head, and walked in the opposite direction from the palace. The captain of the guards smiled wryly and helplessly followed. The princess's name was Dai Yun'er, the only precious daughter of the Star Luo Emperor. She was spoiled and pampered, and no one could restrain her.

Dai Yun'er's beautiful eyes swept across both sides of the street, when suddenly a figure entered her field of vision. He was wearing a blue robe, his figure was as upright as a lone pine on a cliff, his waist was neatly cinched, and his handsome features exuded a kind of aloofness that was out of place in the bustling city.

"It's him!?"

An indescribable excitement surged through Dai Yun'er's head; she recognized that person!

"The opponent that Crazy Brother values ​​is none other than Zhao Xuanzhen, the number one young genius on the Douluo Continent's list of prodigies!"

The Star Luo delegation sent the epic battle between Zhao Xuanzhen and Xu Tianzhao back to the Star Luo Empire. After watching the entire recording, Long Yue personally admitted that both of them were qualified to fight him with all their might. Moreover, Zhao Xuanzhen was nearly five years younger than Long Yue, and his talent was even greater than Long Yue's!

"I thought I'd only see Zhao Xuanzhen at the banquet, but I ran into him on the street beforehand. This guy is even better looking than in the videos..."

Dai Yun'er's eyes shone brightly. The next second, she spotted the beautiful figure beside Zhao Xuanzhen. Her chestnut-red short hair shone with a fiery luster, and her appearance was a blend of coldness and allure, creating a captivating and elegant beauty.

A black mini-skirt hugged her shapely figure, and her long, straight legs, extending from beneath the hem, were like finely polished white jade, dazzlingly white.

The fabric of her top was stretched to its limit, outlining two breathtaking curves on her chest. Her waist was so slender that it seemed astonishing against the fabric, and a primal allure emanated from her casual movements.

Gazing at the pass connecting the snow-capped peaks and the plains in the distance, Dai Yun'er gasped in shock, immediately displaying a Piggy Hero emoji!

His eyes were wide open, almost popping out of their sockets, fixed on the short-haired girl with chestnut red hair. His cherry lips opened wider and wider, and his jaw seemed to dislocate and lose the ability to close.

"No, she looks about my age, how can she be so old..."

Dai Yun'er suddenly fell into deep thought. She had inherited the super strong genes of the Netherworld Cat and had always been a standout among her peers. However, in front of the girl next to Zhao Xuanzhen, she lost, and lost completely.

"This is outrageous! It's immoral!" Dai Yun'er exclaimed indignantly, waving her hands frantically at the guards. "Let's follow them! This princess wants to see what Zhao Xuanzhen and that freak are up to!"

"Boss, what do you want to buy?"

Yuan Enhui raised her hand, her neatly trimmed fingertips casually playing with the short hair beside her ear.

"We'll use rare metals, a specialty of the Star Luo Continent, to incorporate into the battle armor of our future characters," Zhao Xuanzhen said.

The original Douluo Mu Ye brought a list of metals, which included the names of many Star Luo metals. This was a purchase task assigned to Zhao Xuanzhen by the Nine Heavens Reversal Heavenly Gang.

The two entered a grandly decorated shop, and a very perceptive shop assistant approached them, speaking softly:

"Hello, gentlemen. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"We buy and sell rare metals in large quantities. Please have your supervisor come out."

"Please wait."

The shop assistant immediately recognized a VIP customer; her breathing became noticeably rapid, and she quickly went through a metal door. A short while later, she returned, accompanied by a short, stocky middle-aged man, who ushered Zhao Xuanzhen and Yuanen Yehui into a metal room.

"This is the metal we need."

Zhao Xuanzhen took out a piece of paper from his storage soul tool and handed it to the middle-aged man. The shop manager was truly shocked by the dense list of metal types and quantities measured in tons.

“This… young master.” The manager used the honorific title used by the Star Luo Empire and carefully chose his words, “The quantity of rare metals you requested is so large that our shop cannot provide them all at once. We can only provide one-third of them for now, and the rest will need to be transferred from our branches throughout the empire over the next three days.”

"can."

"Thank you for your understanding, sir!" The manager breathed a sigh of relief. "I will take out the metal now for you to inspect."

Rare metals have fixed purity standards, and transactions require inspection. The manager dispatched all the shop assistants, and pieces of rare metal filled the entire room. Zhao Xuanzhen flicked a dark gold blade from his fingertip and struck the rare metal repeatedly, the echoes reverberating, and the metal shimmered faintly.

"good."

The dark gold blade was retracted, and Zhao Xuanzhen indicated that the verification was successful. The supervisor, gazing at the incomparably sharp dark gold claws, unconsciously lowered his waist and rattled off the prices of all the metals as if reciting a menu:

"Young Master, gold crystal costs 10,000 Star Luo coins per gram, and spirit silver costs 8,000 Star Luo coins per gram..."

Yuan Enye stood beside Zhao Xuanzhen, her head spinning from the series of quotes. Five-figure sums per gram of metal, and Zhao Xuanzhen was buying it by the ton. Yuan Enye sighed inwardly, thinking that big capitalists were indeed big capitalists, spending money like water!

Just as Yuan Enhui was clicking her tongue over the countless zeros following the total price, a clear and melodious voice rang out.

"Yuan En, could you please pay the bill?"

"What the heck? Me?" Yuan En Ye Hui was struck dumb, his face filled with disbelief!

"Hey, Federal currency and Star Luo currency are not interchangeable. Hurry up and take out your Black-level mecha."

Still exploiting people!

Two figures emerged from the metal shop. Yuan Enhui glanced sideways at Zhao Xuanzhen, his voice filled with grief and indignation:

"Boss, did you plan this all along, deliberately waiting to trick me?"

"Half and half. I don't actually have any Star Luo coins issued by the Star Luo Continent. It doesn't seem appropriate for me to work for Star Luo Soul Masters designing battle armor, since we represent the Douluo Continent." The unscrupulous boss treated him with sincerity.

"Only those six Black-grade mechs you have can be exchanged for a large sum of Star Luo coins, so..."

So you spent my money!

Yuan Enhui, filled with righteous indignation, continued the conversation.

After going through countless hardships to earn a meager sum, it was snatched away by an unscrupulous boss before it could even be enjoyed. Yuan Enhui's vision went black again and again, and the Titan Ape could not escape the Five Finger Mountain of the True Self Buddha in the end!

At this moment, Yuan En was inwardly criticizing her boss, saying, "He has the face of a lotus flower, but the heart of a vicious wolf!"

He has the handsome face of a gentleman, but he does nothing but swindle and cheat!

Sensing the endless resentment beside him, enough to support ten evil sword immortals, Zhao Xuanzhen calmly said, "When we return to Douluo Continent, the six black-level mechs will be converted into cash and given to you along with your year-end bonus."

"Never mind, it's not easy for anyone."

Yuan Enhui shook her head, a surge of emotion welling up inside her. She was merely expressing her dissatisfaction at being scammed; she didn't genuinely crave the money. Zhao Xuanzhen was buying the metal to incorporate into their future battle armor, so this money could simply be considered a contribution to Xuan Na Yue Xingye's five-person team!

As the reception banquet was about to begin, Xuan Ye returned to the Xingluo Grand Hotel and casually chatted about the two metals that Yuan En added during the forging of the two-word battle armor.

The moment the two stepped through the platinum doors of the Xingluo Grand Hotel, their gazes lingered subtly on the street corner. About thirty seconds later, Dai Yun'er's pretty face appeared at that spot, and the princess said with a wise expression:

"I followed them the whole way, and the interaction between the two of them was far from intimate; they shouldn't be a couple..."

Princess turned and left. Inside the Star Luo Grand Hotel, the seven little ones changed into formal attire, accompanied by Crimson Dragon Douluo Zhuoshi and Wu Changkong. The group boarded a limousine sent by the Star Luo royal family to attend a banquet at the Star Luo Empire's palace.

Douluo Continent is a federal system, and imperial palaces are a thing of the past. None of the seven had ever seen a magnificent imperial palace before, and tonight they were truly amazed. As the luxury car carrying Shrek Academy drove in, a series of loud horns sounded, and the banquet officially began.

The banquet was held in a warm and friendly atmosphere, with the Douluo Continent delegation and the Star Luo Continent nobles exchanging pleasantries, creating a harmonious and pleasant scene.

Seeing the dazzling array of food at the banquet, Tang Wulin and Xu Lizhi, the two foodie brothers, had their eyes light up and rushed over to compete to see who could eat more.

Gu Yue, Ye Xinglan, and Yuan En Yehui were naturally the three most dazzling pearls of the banquet. Their brilliance attracted many nobles from Xingluo to come and chat with them, but what greeted them was an even more stunningly beautiful face than the last.

Emperor Dai Tianling of the Star Luo Empire, with his handsome and resolute appearance, wore a platinum crown and stood tall in the center of the banquet hall. He was exchanging pleasantries with Zhuo Shi, the Crimson Dragon Douluo, and both of them looked forward to this exchange between the two continents.

After a brief chat, they reached a preliminary consensus, and both were satisfied with the result. Zhuoshi plopped down next to Wu Changkong and used telepathy to instruct his disciple to step forward and block the Star Luo nobles who kept offering him drinks. The old man was quite adept at using the aloof male god.

"Father!"

With a clear, melodious voice like pearls falling on a jade plate, Dai Tianling smiled and turned around. She saw that Dai Yun'er had changed into a bright yellow court dress. The dress was uniquely tailored, and her long golden hair was combed up, highlighting the elegance and nobility of an imperial princess.

"Yun'er," Dai Tianling praised with a smile, "our royal princess is so beautiful and refined, she looks so pretty with just a little bit of dressing up."

"Of course!"

Dai Yun'er proudly puffed out her chest, but a beautiful image suddenly flashed through her mind. She pursed her cherry blossom-pink lips, and her chest silently slumped back down.

Dai Tianling didn't notice her daughter's unusual behavior and said seriously, "Your mother and I have discussed it and will get engaged for you after the competition."

Upon hearing this, Dai Yun'er immediately pouted and protested, "I don't want to! How can you get engaged at such a young age!"

Dai Tianling said helplessly, "According to the rules of the Xingluo royal family, marriages must be arranged at the age of fifteen."

Yun'er, your father is reluctant to part with you, but the ancestral rules cannot be broken, otherwise how can he rule the Star Luo Empire?

"Engagement is not something to be taken lightly. Many talented young men present are interested in you; you may choose any one, and your father will surely bless you."

"Father, who do you think is most suitable for me?" Dai Yun'er's big eyes darted around as she began to try to provoke Dai Tianling.

"Ever since you enrolled in Monster Academy, Long Yue has spoiled you, and you two have been calling each other brother and sister."

Six Shrek Academy students have signed up for the individual battles of this year's Soul Master Competition, including Tai Chi Zhao Xuanzhen. The number one genius of Douluo Continent and the number one genius of Star Luo Continent will inevitably have an earth-shattering battle sooner or later.

If Long Yue defeats Zhao Xuanzhen fairly and squarely, he will undoubtedly be the number one young talent on both continents. Whether based on feelings or the combat strength valued by Soul Masters, Father believes you are both born for greatness and should strive for even greater heights.

Dai Tianling understood her daughter's cunning nature, yet still chose to speak the truth. Long Yue's talent was arguably the greatest in the history of the Star Luo Continent, and he had become the disciple of Enci, the strongest warrior in Star Luo. He was destined to inherit Enci's prestigious position in the future.

Dai Yun'er's marriage to Long Yue is extremely beneficial to the Xingluo royal family. Moreover, it is not only about the interests of the royal family. From their years of getting along, it is clear that after marriage, Long Yue will definitely dote on Dai Yun'er and not let her suffer any grievances.

"I knew it!"

As Dai Yun'er approached the engagement deadline with the Star Luo royal family, rumors began to circulate around her.

For example, she would marry Long Yue to protect the royal family and become the Dragon King's beloved wife. Even Long Yue himself thought so. Besides him, Dai Yun'er had no other choice.

The princess understood that she only regarded Long Yue as an older brother, not a romantic lover. Long Yue's appearance and personality were truly extraordinary, and he did not fit Dai Yun'er's criteria for a partner at all.

Discovering that her father was no longer hiding it, Dai Yun'er stomped her foot in anger and ran away. Dai Tianling shook his head with a wry smile. Just then, Empress Xingluo walked to his side and said gently:

"Your Majesty, has Yun'er agreed?"

“She ran away in anger.” Dai Tianling’s eyes were burning. “Long Yue is Yun’er’s most perfect choice for a consort, there is no doubt about that.”

Deep within the bloodline of a Soul Master flows the blood of someone who admires strength; it is believed that when Long Yue reaches the pinnacle, Yun'er will fall in love with him.

"I hope so." The Empress grasped Dai Tianling's broad hand.
