I Don't Believe Your Eyes Will Be Empty for the Rest of Your Life

"Bang--!"

The shockwave exploded, and Liu Erlong was forced back three steps, his arm went numb, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

Lin Hai flicked his wrist and laughed, "Teacher Erlong, that's not quite enough."

Enraged, Liu Erlong launched a fierce close-quarters attack! Her fists, imbued with Soul Power, were powerful and heavy, yet Lin Hai easily deflected or parried them. In the process, Lin Hai passively gained a considerable advantage!

The two figures darted through the forest, their fists and feet clashing incessantly, the surrounding vegetation swirling in the air. Lin Hai never used Soul Skill, relying solely on his physical strength and technique to maneuver, sometimes parrying, sometimes deftly deflecting her heavy punches, and occasionally countering with a finger strike to her weakest point, forcing her blood and qi to surge.

Close combat was one of Liu Erlong's strengths, but the more she fought, the more frustrated she became.

Her opponent seemed to anticipate all her movements, always striking first despite being behind. Her relentless attacks were like sinking into quagmire, finding no foothold. What was even more infuriating was that this brat would occasionally manage to lightly pat her shoulder, waist, or even buttocks. Though it didn't hurt, it made her extremely ashamed!

The fierce battle was less a contest and more a result of Lin Hai's unilateral guidance and control.

The two fought for two hours until Lin Hai felt Liu Erlong's Soul Power was waning, at which point he reluctantly stopped. He had gained quite a few advantages, but everything takes time. He stepped back, waved his hand, and said:

"Teacher Erlong, how about we call it a day? I'm exhausted!"

Liu Erlong was already too tired to move, and hearing these words was like hearing heavenly music, but she still pouted and said, "You're a grown man, and you're too short-lived!"

Good heavens! This is an inversion of the Heavenly Spirits!

Seeing Lin Hai's increasingly Evil expression, Liu Erlong, fearing she had overdone it, quickly said:

"Let's call it a day then, it's too late. We'll fight again next time!"

Lin Hai straightened his mouth and said, "Woman, you're quick to make amends. I almost got possessed by the Dragon King!"

He took out a blanket, spread it on the ground, lay down directly, and deliberately only occupied one side.

"Hey, you're not planning to sleep here tonight, are you?" Liu Erlong had absolutely no idea what this brat was up to.

"After playing for so long, it's just a short rest. Don't tell me you're not tired!" Lin Hai said lazily, crossing his legs.

Looking at the blanket on the ground, Liu Erlong knew she was exhausted. If she were alone, she would have loved to lie down and take a nap immediately.

Lin Hai smiled and said, "Sit down and rest for a while. I'd also like to hear the story of your Golden Iron Triangle. Tell me about it."

After struggling for a moment, Liu Erlong reluctantly sat down and said irritably:

"Shouldn't someone like you be more interested in the deeds of those Titled Douluo? What's so interesting about the three of us!"

In the battle just now, Lin Hai did not use any Soul Skill at all, relying entirely on his physical strength and skills.

Even so, he still had some strength left, yet he was subtly at a disadvantage. Such a person—he'd never even heard of him before, let alone seen him!

His background must be impressive, and his experience must be extensive. What noteworthy experiences do these so-called "Golden Iron Triangle" have?!

"That's not quite right. After meeting you once in Sunset Forest, I learned about you, but not in detail." Lin Hai shook his head, paused, and then added:

"After meeting Master Yu, I became even more confused. How did three people of vastly different levels initially come together, and why did they eventually part ways?"

Mentioning Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong's eyes dimmed, and after a moment, she began to recount how the three of them met:

"When my mother passed away, I was constantly reminded of her, and my mood was very depressed. So I left home and went to the mainland to make my way in the world. After a while, I got much better and became the happiest person I used to be..."

"Later, when I broke through to a higher level and tried to hunt Soul Beast on my own, the two of them appeared. The three of us got along very well and then traveled together."

"Because of the resonance of their Martial Soul and their mutual trust, they were able to perform a three-person Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Gradually, they earned the reputation of the ' Golden Iron Triangle '."

"It's nothing special, really. It's just that the three-person Martial Soul Fusion Skill is the only one of its kind on the continent." Liu Erlong smiled self-deprecatingly and fell silent.

Lin Hai propped himself up on his arms and pressed on, "And then?"

Liu Erlong glared at him. "That's all!"

"Hey, what's wrong with talking about this? The problem must lie with you and Yu Xiaogang, right?" Lin Hai lay back down, speaking casually.

Liu Erlong looked at Lin Hai in surprise and asked, "How did you know? Which of them told you?"

"Nobody told me this. But Master Yu comes from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, which isn't a secret. Your Martial Soul is also a mutation of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon martial spirit, so it's not hard to guess!" Lin Hai said with a smile.

Liu Erlong turned her head away and said coldly, "My Martial Soul is a fire dragon, not Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon."

"Hehe, as far as I know, the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon martial spirit is the only True Dragon Martial Soul among all the Martial Soul on the continent. Antlers, snake body, fish scales, four or three legs, five or four claws—these are all characteristics of True Dragon Martial Soul," Lin Hai said leisurely, speaking eloquently.

"Among all the Dragon attribute Martial Soul on the entire continent, only the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon martial spirit matches these characteristics. The others either have a single horn, three claws, or..."

"It just so happens that your Fire Dragon martial spirit also possesses all the characteristics of True Dragon Martial Soul. Don't you think that's a coincidence?"

Upon hearing Lin Hai's words, Liu Erlong was completely stunned:

' True Dragon Martial Soul... Can the origin of Martial Soul be determined this way? What about Xiao Gang...'

She carefully recalled all the dragon-type Martial Soul she had encountered over the years, including sub-dragon-type Soul Beast. Apart from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, she seemed to have never encountered one with a form similar to her own Martial Soul!

'Did Xiao Gang not notice? No way, his theoretical knowledge is the strongest on the entire continent! But if he did notice... why hasn't he ever asked himself?'

Liu Erlong's mind was a bit confused. She had initially fallen for Yu Xiaogang because of his erudition and confidence, but now she wished he weren't so erudite...

Seeing that the time was right, Lin Hai sat up, faced Liu Erlong, took out the Flowing Light Qin), pondered for a moment, and began to play.

"Zheng—"

The music attracted Liu Erlong's attention, freeing her from the chaotic logic.

However, she soon became engrossed in the music again, unable to extricate herself.

She's a woman who can sing "My Heart Is Too Messy," and while she's not good at playing instruments, she does have a certain appreciation for music. After a moment, she discerned the tender emotions within the melody...

She looked at Lin Hai, who was playing the instrument, and found that he was also smiling at her, his expression seemingly conveying something:

Let go of the past, I don't believe you'll spend the rest of your life with empty eyes!
