Dragon Emperor Douluo's Happy Times

[I was born into a small family with few members, one that inherited subdragon martial souls. Yet my martial soul's bloodline underwent an atavistic awakening, becoming the legendary Dark Holy Dragon Martial Soul.]

[From that moment on, I became my family's pride and its future. Yet the family's greatest wish was not for me to become an unmatched powerhouse, but for me to take many wives and carry on the family line.]

[Even my parents felt the same. It seemed that, in their eyes, since I had awakened the Dark Holy Dragon Martial Soul, there was a great chance I could pass down my martial soul and change the family's plight, allowing us to rise to the peak of the continent. But that was not the life I wanted, nor was it what I pursued.]

[So, while still young, I not only joined a Soul Master Academy but also began traveling the continent alone. During my travels, I met a very interesting friend named Mu En. At the time, I had not realized that Mu En would become my lifelong best friend—or that I would wrong him in the future.]

[Because I possessed the Dark Holy Dragon Martial Soul while Mu En possessed the Light Holy Dragon Martial Soul, we regarded each other as rivals. Within a single year, we fought seven times in total. Unfortunately, I won three and lost four.

One of those matches was even the finals of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament. I lost to the team led by Mu En and became the runner-up. In the end, I was still a step behind him.

It was also at that Soul Fighting Tournament that I met Ye Xishui, the female soul master who could barely contend with Mu En and me.]

[At the time, I only admired Xishui. I never imagined that I would fall in love with her, much less that it would become a doomed romance—the beginning of a tragedy.]

"Even the legendary Dragon God Douluo and Dragon Emperor Douluo were trapped by love, but I wasn't. By that measure, I'm far stronger than those two."

Seeing this, some soul masters shamelessly indulged in self-deception.

Of course, it was more of a psychological comfort. My cultivation may truly be inferior to yours, but I was not trapped by love like you two, unable to move on for my entire life.

"From the looks of it, even in the end, Dragon Emperor Douluo never moved on from what happened back then." Some soul masters also felt sorry for Dragon Emperor Douluo.

Although the monologue had only just begun, its opening content was already enough to show the difference.

Compared to Dragon God Douluo Mu En, who had chosen to move on and continued devoting himself to Shrek Academy, Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao had spent the latter half of his life atoning for his sins.

From Dragon God Douluo Mu En's monologue just now, they had already guessed that there might have been hidden circumstances behind what happened back then. However, for certain reasons, the people involved had been unable to uncover the truth, which left all those gossip-hungry spectators deeply regretful.

Now, another person involved had stepped forward. And judging from the revealed monologue, Long Xiaoyao clearly knew much more than Mu En did.

At this moment, many people across the world were more excited to feast on the gossip surrounding these two great figures than to explore Dragon Emperor Douluo's magnificent past life.

After all, the vast majority of them would never reach the heights of these two in their lifetimes.

But if they could thoroughly dig into the romantic scandals of these two big shots, that would be far too interesting—far too exciting!!

"If only that mistake had never happened back then..." Long Xiaoyao watched the Heavenly Curtain, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He reminisced about that happy time after the three of them had met and become close friends.

Yet the more he reminisced, the more pain Long Xiaoyao felt.

If he had not made that mistake back then, the lives of the three of them might not have turned out this way.

Especially because of him, Xishui's life had been completely ruined, turning her into an Evil Soul Master.

[After the tournament ended, I graduated from the academy without incident. After graduation, I did not return to my hometown. Instead, I continued my journey across the continent.]

[After discovering a village harmed by Evil Soul Masters, the sense of justice in my heart drove me to attack them without hesitation. While purging the Evil Soul Masters, I also sensed a powerful soul master attacking the Evil Soul Masters within the village from another direction.]

[To my surprise, that soul master was Mu En! Everything was such a coincidence! After that battle, Mu En and I truly became good friends, and we began traveling the continent together.]

[Together, we eradicated Evil Soul Masters who harmed the continent, helped the weak, and went through many experiences. We also became increasingly adept at fighting together, and our relationship grew ever closer.]

[The mutual attraction of our dragon bloodlines even caused light and darkness to merge, granting us a powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Although our martial soul fusion compatibility was only fifty percent, the collision between darkness and light when we unleashed the Martial Soul Fusion Skill gave it extremely powerful destructive force.]

[Our relationship grew closer and closer, and we became friends who could talk about anything—true best friends. At the same time, our strength spread our fame farther and wider across the continent. More and more people regarded us as the leading figures of the new generation.]

[That was what I believed as well, until one day, when we encountered Ye Xishui again.]

"Yes! We've finally reached the key point."

"It wasn't easy. After watching these top powerhouses' glorious days, we can finally see something different."

As the revealed monologue on the Heavenly Curtain reached this point, many people silently thought that the tragedy was finally about to begin.

At the same time, they became even more convinced that, compared to the monologue of Dragon God Douluo, who had moved on;

the monologue of Dragon Emperor Douluo, who had been trapped by love all his life and spent it atoning for it, was indeed far more compelling.

As fierce discussions erupted across the continent, the monologue revealed on the Heavenly Curtain continued.

[At that time, Xishui was young, lively, lovely, and truly beautiful.]

[Before long, the three of us became good friends. Later, Xishui joined our group, and we traveled the continent together.]

[Xishui had a wonderful personality and was so beautiful. Mu En and I were both hot-blooded young men, so after Xishui joined our group, we both quickly fell for her.]

[Mu En and I were best friends who could talk about anything, so we quickly noticed the changes in each other's feelings.

Thus, Mu En and I found an opportunity to discuss the matter in private, keeping it from Xishui.]

[My idea was simple. Since we both liked Xishui, we would each rely on our own abilities and see whom Xishui would ultimately like and choose! Mu En's thoughts happened to align with mine as well. We would compete fairly.]
