Douluo: Dragon King's Tai Chi Mystery

In the Shrek Academy rest area, Zhao Xuanzhen and Gu Yue remained calm and composed, while the others unconsciously sat up straight, their expressions solemn. They were astonished by the Mountain Dragon King's ability to change the world at will.

Humans appeared so small and helpless under the wrath of the Mountain Dragon King. Xu Lizhi kept rubbing his thighs with his chubby hands, looking at the stubborn and beautiful figure standing on the competition stage with a worried expression!

Ye Xinglan's eyes burned even brighter with starlight, her whole body enveloped in starlight, and her battle armor, flowing with starlight, covered her delicate body. She gripped the Star God Sword tightly with both hands, the tip of the sword pointing straight at the raging sky. The sword intent that had accumulated to its peak within her body resonated intensely with the One-Word Battle Armor Star!

"Chong-"

The sword's cry, piercing through mountains and tsunamis, resounded through the sky, and the spirit of the starry unicorn leaped proudly out from behind Ye Xinglan!

The unique sword-shaped horn of the Starry Sky Unicorn seemed to be formed from starlight, bursting out with star sword energy that tore through the void, and fiercely merged into the Star God Sword that Ye Xinglan held high!

Soul Master, Sword Intent, Star Core, Battle Armor, and Soul Spirit – five major abilities are fused into one!

"cut!"

Ye Xinglan shouted, and the roar of sword intent suddenly resounded in everyone's hearts. Stars lit up one by one, and the Star God Sword activated its power after its second awakening, transforming into a giant Star God Sword forged from the entire galaxy. The sword body shone with the brilliance of the birth and death of stars, and the Star God Sword Intent was sublimated at this moment!

Split mountains and break peaks, destroy rivers and block their flow!

The Star God's Greatsword slashed down, cleaving the massive mountain in two, leaving a smooth, mirror-like cut. Where the sword's edge struck, a colossal chasm appeared in the raging torrent of water above, crashing back to reveal the bright sky above!

Undeterred and willing to perish together, Ye Xinglan unleashed the resolute determination of a swordsman, cleaving through the mountain barrier that the Mountain Dragon King was so proud of with a single sword strike, and the Star God Greatsword aimed straight for Long Yue's chest!

Long Yue's eyes were filled with astonishment and rage. He crossed his arms, and his brown scales overlapped wildly all over his body as he gathered the power of a mountain to forcefully confront the Star God's Greatsword!

The two bodies intertwined, and a dazzling golden sword aura exploded on Long Yue's crossed arms and thick chest!

"null--"

The Mountain Dragon King's thick scales, strong enough to withstand soul-guided cannonballs, shattered like glass, scattering in all directions. Crimson blood gushed out, staining the ground beneath its feet. The dragon leaped, its arms hanging limply, and a piece of brown metal appeared on its chest at some unknown time!

Two-word battle armor, chest armor!

As the starlight faded, Ye Xinglan stood with her back to Long Yue, still holding her sword with both hands. The light of her one-word battle armor flowed endlessly, but her eyes, which were burning with brilliant golden starlight, completely lost focus and became empty and blank.

The Star God Sword touched the ravaged metal ground, supporting the body that refused to fall. All of the girl's consciousness had been completely drained after she unleashed that sword strike that exceeded her limits.

"very scary……"

On the Monster Academy's side, Fox King Su Mu was sweating profusely. Ye Xinglan's incredibly powerful sword strike made him feel an immense life-or-death crisis.

Ye Xinglan took advantage of Long Yue's arrogance. With a Soul Emperor facing off against a Soul Master, and a huge difference of twenty levels of Soul Power, even though Ye Xinglan had a full set of One-Word Battle Armor, Long Yue never even considered summoning Battle Armor.

From the very beginning, Ye Xinglan was determined to decide the outcome with a single sword strike. The battle unfolded exactly as she had anticipated. If Long Yue were an ordinary one-word battle armor master, Ye Xinglan would have already succeeded. However, the two-word battle armor was fused with the soul master's bloodline. The moment Long Yue sensed the danger, he immediately ordered the battle armor to cover his chest, thus blocking the stunningly powerful sword strike. The price was that the two-word chest armor was almost destroyed by the Star God Greatsword.

Long Yue looked down at the tattered breastplate and his blood-soaked arms. An unprecedented sense of overwhelming humiliation instantly overwhelmed his already crumbling reason!

His vertical pupils were engulfed by a violent crimson, his brown dragon scales bristled, and a beastly roar that seemed to destroy everything rolled from Long Yue's throat as he rushed toward the unconscious but still standing figure. He wanted to crush Ye Xinglan into dust!

"enough!"

Several figures rushed into the arena. Saint Dragon Douluo Enci pressed down on Long Yue, and a vast, sea-like soul power barrier unfolded, resisting the irrational impact of the Dragon Madman. The light attribute soul power soothed that furious heart.

"Holy Dragon Douluo, the students of Monster Academy can't even control themselves, what kind of Soul Master Competition are they participating in!"

Crimson Dragon Douluo Zhuo Shi coldly questioned, his face extremely gloomy. Although his strength was worlds apart from En Ci's, he represented the entire Shrek Academy!

The outcome of the match is decided. Ye Xinglan was almost killed by the crazed Long Yue. This act of humiliating Ye Xinglan in front of hundreds of thousands of people has crossed Shrek Academy's bottom line. Zhuoshi will not back down an inch!

"I apologize to your esteemed academy for my shortcomings in educating my disciple," Enci said with a wry smile. "This is a recurring problem of Long Yue's, which only manifests when facing a powerful enemy. I never expected this young girl from the Soul Sect to be able to do this."

"I will return and strictly instruct Long Yue to control the Mountain Dragon King's mad blood. The Star Luo Empire will bear the losses for Ye Xinglan, and subsequent compensation will be delivered to the Star Luo Grand Hotel after the individual battle finals, ensuring the satisfaction of your academy's students. Crimson Dragon Douluo, I wonder if this will make amends?"

Zhuo Shi pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly. His kindness and sincerity were considerable, and he had given Shrek Academy ample face; after all, Ye Xinglan had not been harmed, so the matter was handled leniently.

"Saint Dragon Douluo".

A clear, melodious voice rang out, and Enci looked over in response. He saw Zhao Xuanzhen holding the unconscious Ye Xinglan in a princess carry. The old and experienced expert's heart sank suddenly.

Ye Xinglan seems to have an unusual relationship with Zhao Xuanzhen. Offending Ye Xinglan is nothing, but involving Zhao Xuanzhen is a completely different level of seriousness.

“In his mad state, Long Yue is the fearsome madman that everyone in Monster Academy dreads. I hope you won’t affect his true nature.” Zhao Xuanzhen’s tone was as cold as a deep pool.

"Tell Long Yue, who has just woken up, that everything he has done today, including the dignity of the Dragon King and the glory of the Empire that he cares about, will be taken away without exception in the individual finals."

After speaking, Zhao Xuanzhen turned and left with Ye Xinglan in his arms. Flashes of light captured Enci's ugly face and the jubilation of the 300,000 spectators at Xingluo Stadium.

Ten minutes later, a news story went viral throughout the Star Luo Empire.

He was so enraged for the sake of a beautiful woman that he attacked the crazed Dragon King!

The most intense final in history: Tai Chi master Zhao Xuanzhen battles Dragon King Long Yue in a true dragon battle!

……

Xingluo Hotel.

Sunlight streamed through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, gently illuminating the soft, luxurious bed. The interplay of light and shadow fell upon the peacefully sleeping girl's face, illuminating her porcelain-smooth skin and the gently undulating edges of the thin blankets.

Ye Xinglan's long eyelashes trembled a few times, and her azure eyes, filled with a hint of bewilderment, slowly focused. She turned her head to look at the person beside her, and a focused silhouette came into view.

Zhao Xuanzhen sat in the armchair by the bed, placing a thick ancient book on the floor. Sunlight outlined his handsome profile, and his dark eyes gazed at her gently, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

"woke up?"

This scene had only ever occurred in dreams. The girl's heart skipped a beat without warning, and the dazed feeling upon waking was quickly replaced by a subtle panic.

"Um……"

Her voice was slightly hoarse from just waking up, and she lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Zhao Xuanzhen's eyes.

"I'm going out to get something. Wait for me."

The sound of the door closing reached her ears, and Ye Xinglan's tense nerves slowly relaxed. She propped herself up on one side, and the thin, satin-like quilt slipped down to her waist.

In an instant, Ye Xinglan was stunned.

She remembered fighting Long Yue, but her outfit had vanished. In her place was a silky, cool, pure white slip dress. The silk was smooth and outlined her slender figure. The neckline was neither too high nor too low, just enough to reveal her beautiful neck and delicate, pearly shoulders, with a vertical line faintly visible.

"what!?"

Ye Xinglan silently covered her face, a blush spreading from her slender neck to her entire cheeks, and her delicate collarbone was also tinged with a pinkish-white. Her body temperature in the quilt rose rapidly.

Who changed it? When? He didn't see it, did he? This thought made the girl so ashamed that she almost melted on the bed, her blood surging beneath her skin.

As I was lost in thought, the door was pushed open again, and the warm, delicate aroma of food wafted in.

Zhao Xuanzhen walked in carrying an exquisite white jade soup bowl. Steam rose from the rim of the bowl, which was filled with thick and fragrant porridge, and was decorated with bits of spiritual fruit, silver thread grass, snow lotus petals and other nourishing medicinal herbs.

"The porridge that Senior Body specially cooked will greatly benefit your recovery from your injuries."

Zhao Xuanzhen seemed oblivious to the shy atmosphere in the air. His gaze swept over the girl on the bed, who was flushed and steaming, and a barely perceptible smile flickered in his eyes.

The bowl of fragrant, thick porridge was brought closer, and her rosy cheeks still bloomed, making Ye Xinglan's delicate features appear even more beautiful. Taking the warm jade bowl, the temperature of the porridge was just right for her mouth, and with each swallow, the lines of her fair shoulders and neck slid gently along.

"Um... how long did I sleep?" Ye Xinglan asked softly.

"Three days."

The girl pursed her red lips tightly, glanced down at her nightgown, and then mustered her courage to ask, "Have you always been here?"

Zhao Xuanzhen noticed her subtle movements and laughed, "Yuan En is the main player, and she's the one who changed the clothes."

Gu Yue was mysteriously busy with her private affairs and often disappeared for the whole day. It was inconvenient for the three men, Lin Yu and Pang, to take care of Ye Xinglan. Yuan En and Ye Hui automatically became the main caregivers for Ye Xinglan, and Zhao Xuanzhen would occasionally come to relieve her.

Yuan Enhui had a clear view of Ye Xinglan. When Ye Xinglan came out after wiping her body and changing into her nightgown, she was filled with a sense of pity and sympathy from a strong person for a weak person. Zhao Xuanzhen did not tell Ye Xinglan this secret, after all, she had potential.

Lying on the bed, Ye Xinglan was not disappointed by Zhao Xuanzhen's honest words. On the contrary, her eyes softened, as if she had seen a helping hand in the most difficult time. She looked at Zhao Xuanzhen with a gentle smile.

“I know that the girl you are closest to here is Gu Yue, so thank you for staying and taking care of me.”

"No need to thank me, we're friends."

"No, you must thank me," Ye Xinglan insisted. "You don't owe me anything..."

Moreover, our meeting was not pleasant.

"We cannot negate a person's entire life because of something that happened when he was ten years old," Zhao Xuanzhen corrected.

"Every moment I help you is simply because I want you to become a better person, nothing more."

“It’s different.” Ye Xinglan shook her head gently. “They have all joined the Spirit Pagoda and can follow you at will, accepting whatever you bring. I am the only one who shouldn’t have this right.”

My family, my parents, strongly opposed my leaving Shrek Academy to become a member of the Spirit Tower. Torn between my family's wishes and my own inner desires, I was constantly conflicted, and I also felt I couldn't enjoy the same treatment as Na'er, Gu Yue, and Yuan En.

"Don't feel so much pressure. In my heart, you are all equal."

Zhao Xuanzhen gently comforted her, perhaps because Ye Xinglan was at her most vulnerable moment, which made her reveal her deepest feelings. This also made him realize that it is impossible to truly understand a person unless you put yourself in her shoes and walk around with her, and think from her perspective.

Ye Xinglan smiled, revealing a rare, radiant smile: "Although in your heart, I am on par with them, it may be because I was injured that you say these words to comfort me."

But I don't need to be ranked alongside you; you are the closest person to me.

You're not tied; you're number one.

A wave of tender affection washed over him, and the cold and aloof swordsman suddenly softened, his steely resolve turning into a gentle touch.

Zhao Xuanzhen was deeply moved. Ye Xinglan, who was usually taciturn and could even be described as a silent gourd, had actually developed a very clever mind. As the saying goes, those who play mind games are the most afraid of those who are straightforward.

"Xinglan, I can't interfere in your family affairs. I just want to say one thing to you: people are not born to drag chains, but to spread their wings."

If you make a decision that comes from your heart, please don't hesitate to ask if you need any help from me.

"It's available now."

Ye Xinglan's beautiful blue eyes sparkled as she sensed Zhao Xuanzhen's wholehearted support, and her courage gradually grew.

"what?"

I want to hug you.

Zhao Xuanzhen was stunned for a moment, then obeyed her wish, opened his arms, and hugged the soft girl on the bed.

"Sister Xinglan..."

Outside the door, Xu Lizhi saw the two people embracing tightly through the crack. His legs went weak and he knelt down. He wanted to see Ye Xinglan, but what he saw was a scene that shocked him to his core. His fat face twitched uncontrollably, tears streamed down his face silently, and his heart was breaking.

Concern leads to confusion; Xu Lizhi doesn't understand girls' hearts. For Ye Xinglan, giving up is worse than committing suicide. Xuan Yueye understands her pride, but Xu Lizhi only considers safety.

He could always convince himself otherwise, but this time his heart seemed to have cracked open, and bitter tears were flowing out.

Inside the room, Zhao Xuanzhen gently inhaled the fragrance of Ye Xinglan's hair and spoke:

"Gu Yue and Wu Lin have applied to withdraw from the competition, so the two semi-final matches have been canceled. Long Yue and I will directly compete in the individual finals of this competition."

Privately, there were plenty of opportunities to spar and fight. Tang Wulin wholeheartedly participated in the doubles battle and mecha battle, while Gu Yue was not interested in the Soul Master Competition. His only goal was to beat up Dai Yun'er, so he simply withdrew from the individual battle and gave the stage to the number one genius of the two continents.

"I believe you," Ye Xinglan said firmly.

"I will always believe in myself, but now I have another reason to win."

Let's get our revenge.

Chapter 130 The Battle of the True Dragons, Tai Chi Zhao Xuanzhen VS Dragon King Long Yue, Bagua Qimen Mountain-Suppressing Dragon (4K)

Star Luo Empire, Star Luo Stadium.

Amidst the intense anticipation of the crowd, the individual finals are about to begin. The Xingluo Stadium has been completely renovated, with a circular competition platform nearly 500 meters in diameter, making people standing on it appear as tiny as ants. The soul-guided protective shield reaches a height of 200 meters, giving it a feeling of being almost touching the sky and the earth.

With the semi-finals cancelled and a full three days passed, the Star Luo Empire constructed this venue for this significant final.

From any angle, the 300,000 spectators could clearly see the battle situation in the arena, with soul-guided screens floating above, zooming in on details and playing them in a loop.

Countless young Soul Masters from the Star Luo Empire spared no effort to participate in the competition, hoping to make a name for themselves in the world-renowned Soul Master Tournament and lay the foundation for their future development.

At this moment, Xingluo Stadium was packed with people, and the area around the stadium was completely blocked. The enthusiastic Xingluo people occupied all the good spots outside the stadium. Many people came the night before to compete for them, and some even brought tents to camp.

The Battle of the True Dragons is hailed as the ultimate showdown between Shrek Academy and Monster Academy, a name that carries both significance and meaning.

A golden carp is no ordinary fish; it transforms into a dragon when it encounters wind and clouds. All talk of "friendship first, competition second" is just empty rhetoric. The timeless truth in the world of Soul Masters is that the winner takes all and the victor reigns supreme!

For three days, news reports from major media outlets in the Star Luo Empire have been overwhelming. The vast majority of these reports are mindless pronouncements that Star Luo will surely win, while a few calm observers have attempted to analyze the abilities of the two True Dragons, ultimately arriving at a 50/50 result.

If the two were the same age, Long Yue would have no chance of winning. Unfortunately, there are no ifs. Five years is enough for a young soul master to undergo earth-shattering changes. Long Yue's Soul Emperor level soul power and soul rings are his biggest advantage!

In the Shrek Academy rest area, Gu Yue sat in the center without hesitation, her every move exuding elegance and nobility.

Like the queen's two protectors, Xingye stood guard. Ye Xinglan's pretty face was pale; that sword strike had almost exhausted her energy and spirit, and she would need at least a week to recover.

Yuan Enhui stared intently at the waiting area screen broadcast on the Soul Guidance screen, while Zhao Xuanzhen closed her eyes to rest. She silently prayed that her boss would win, after all, the employee and the boss were a community of interests and shared face.

On the stadium's main stage, Emperor Dai Tianling of the Star Luo Empire, all the civil and military officials of the empire, and all the important figures of the Douluo Continent delegation, including the Dean of Shrek Academy, Chilong Douluo Zhuoshi, were all present today.

This battle not only determines who is the strongest among the younger generation of Douluo Star, but also, to some extent, has risen to a political level.

Above, a figure descended slowly amidst golden light. The white-robed, white-haired old man stood with his hands behind his back in the center of the vast competition field.
