As Yu Xiaogang trembled at the terrifying power of this world, the Douluo Continent had completely erupted!
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the Upper Three Sects, Yu Xiaogang's own father, the level 95 Assault-type Titled Douluo, Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen, was so shocked his jaw was about to unhinge.
What had he seen? He had seen a miracle!
His useless son's useless Martial Soul was actually the legendary Golden Holy Dragon?
This was unscientific!
"Big Brother, for Xiaogang to have this fortune, for his original Martial Soul to evolve into the Bright Holy Dragon, it is his luck, and also the luck of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
Beside him, Yu Luomian looked at Yu Xiaogang's majestic Martial Soul, the Bright Holy Dragon, with some jealousy. He never would have imagined that his nephew's useless Martial Soul wasn't a malignant mutation, but a benign one!
This Martial Soul on Yu Xiaogang was simply a waste of talent. If only his own Martial Soul were the Bright Holy Dragon...
"Yes, it is Xiaogang's luck, and also the luck of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
At Shrek Academy, Tang San and Xiao Wu stared at the completely transformed Master Yu Xiaogang, their mouths agape, faces full of disbelief.
They couldn't tell how much stronger Yu Xiaogang had become, but Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul had changed from the Luo Sanpao, which looked like a dog or a pig with no combat power, to the majestic Golden Holy Dragon. This was somewhat unscientific, wasn't it...
"That's great, Master looks very powerful now."
Xiao Wu couldn't help but exclaim joyfully. She was genuinely happy for Yu Xiaogang.
Although Yu Xiaogang always said, "There are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters," she could see that Luo Sanpao had always been a sore spot for Yu Xiaogang.
Tang San, standing beside her, nodded somewhat reluctantly, saying nothing. No one knew what he was thinking...
In Martial Soul City, at the Martial Soul Hall, seeing that her ex-boyfriend's Martial Soul was no longer the useless Luo Sanpao that only invited ridicule, Bibi Dong was genuinely happy for him.
"Xiaogang, that's wonderful, you can finally hold your head high and be proud."
Qian Daoliu, standing beside her, looked at Bibi Dong, then at the spirited Yu Xiaogang, and sighed slowly.
If it weren't for his unlucky son Qian Xunji back then...
"Xiaogang!!!!!"
Before Qian Xunji could finish sighing, he heard Bibi Dong's sudden exclamation, mixed with intense fear!
When he looked up at the light screen, he was stunned!
Yu Xiaogang's face was already flushed red, blood gushing from the corners of his mouth uncontrollably, his eyes filled with undisguised terror and despair!
Just moments ago, his Golden Holy Dragon Martial Soul, which could be considered top-tier on the entire Douluo Continent, had been crushed into countless scattered light spots by a leaf larger than a person falling from above. He had been severely wounded in an instant, and his Soul Power had become extremely chaotic.
"What in the world is this thing..."
The despair on Yu Xiaogang's face deepened as he looked at the leaf just inches away...
Crunch--!
The moment the leaf struck Yu Xiaogang, his bones snapped and his body was nearly crushed. He suffered unimaginable grievous injuries, barely clinging to life.
The entire continent's 140 million people were stunned. Was this the same Yu Xiaogang who had been full of spirit and exuded an air of unfathomable depth just moments ago?
The difference between then and now was too vast...
"My heavens, didn't Yu Xiaogang just achieve a massive upgrade? His martial soul even evolved into the legendary Golden Holy Dragon, so how could he be crushed by a single leaf?"
"I don't know, don't ask me, I have no idea. I feel like I can never look at leaves the same way again!"
"Whatever the reason, it only proves one thing: the mysterious voice was telling the truth. The Mysterious Land is indeed dangerously absurd!"
"Damn it, thinking back now, how ridiculous we were to think that with Soul Masters, the Mysterious Land would be our backyard? A graveyard would be more like it!"
"I'm already having a bad feeling... could these powerhouses... all be wiped out?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Forget the others, that Clear Sky Douluo had great luck and landed in a safe place."
"Right, right. The Saintess from Martial Soul Hall also had good luck and landed in a town. Towns, no matter what, are very safe."
"And also, Ning Rongrong from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, while she didn't land in the safest town, at least she was with people, and the person with her looked incredibly strong."
"Let's not talk about that. All I want to know now is how dangerous this Mysterious Land truly is. Who knows if there will be another selection of Chosen Ones? I'm afraid if I'm unlucky and chosen, and I don't understand anything, I'll just be walking to my death?!"
"That's true. And we should think of it this way: if the Mysterious Land is so dangerous, then the opportunities there must also be incredibly powerful. If nothing else, the fact that Soul Masters entering the Mysterious Land are baptized and strengthened, even having their martial souls evolve, is already a formidable opportunity!"
"That's true, but the problem is, the legendary Golden Holy Dragon couldn't even block a single leaf..."
"...Never mind."
Just as Yu Xiaogang was about to faint from the pain, a voice reached his ears.
"Huh? How can there be someone so weak in the outer regions of the Barren Great Forest? To be injured like this by a mere Nine-Leaf Poplar leaf... could they not have even reached the fifth level of the Blood Transporting Realm?"
Yu Xiaogang forced his eyes open and barely made out a figure. The instinct for survival drove him to reach out towards the person...
"Please... save me..."
Just as Yu Xiaogang was about to be smashed to bits by a leaf, the old emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Ye, an 88th-level Soul Douluo, was not faring any better!
Like Yu Xiaogang, he had only recently entered this world. He too had been baptized by the Heaven and Earth Essence of this world, and his strength had greatly increased. If one only considered the depth of his Soul Power, it had already surpassed that of a level 99 Peerless Douluo. If one added the qualitative change in his Soul Power and the evolution of his martial soul, he was confident he could even fight a god!
That was until he was headbutted by a wild boar!
"Cough, cough, cough, are you kidding me..."
Xue Ye looked at the wild boar that was wildly charging towards him through the hazy crimson sky, a bitter smile appearing on his lips.
He had clearly become so much stronger, and as long as he could successfully return to the Heaven Dou Empire, he would be able to lead the Heaven Dou Empire to reign over the entire Douluo Continent!
But now...
The next moment, the area belonging to Xue Ye in the light screen dimmed...
In Heaven Dou City, the imperial city of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Fourth Prince Xue Beng, who had been holding back his tears, could no longer contain them and they streamed down his face.
"Father Emperor!"
He never imagined that his Father Emperor wouldn't die on the battlefield or of old age in the palace, but would instead be gored to death by a wild boar...
"Fourth Prince, the country cannot be without a ruler for a day..."
"Where is the Crown Prince? Hasn't the Crown Prince been found yet?!"
"No..."
"Damn it, wasn't this scoundrel always in the Imperial Palace? Why is he nowhere to be seen when we need him to take charge of the situation?!"
At the same time, Qian Renxue's situation was equally dire.
She had also undergone the baptism of Heaven and Earth Essence, and even due to her own aptitude, her progress was terrifying, enough to be considered a meteoric rise on the Douluo Continent!
Not only had her Soul Power surged to completely surpass the limit of a Level 99 Peerless Douluo, but her original Martial Soul, the Six-Winged Angel, had even evolved into the Eight-Winged Seraphim, making her countless times stronger than before!
She was now confident that she could easily defeat anyone on the Douluo Continent, and even if a legendary God were to descend, she would have the confidence to fight!
However, just like Yu Xiaogang, her inflated confidence lasted only a short while before being ruthlessly shattered!
"Little girl, you scared the hell out of me. I thought it was some terrifying move, but it turns out to be just a show?"
After shattering her with a single blow, the bandit looked at Qian Renxue, who was lying on the ground coughing up blood, and muttered. A lecherous glint flashed in his eyes as he turned to look at the tall Bandit Leader behind him, smiling obsequiously.
"Boss, it's not easy to find such a beautiful little lady in the middle of nowhere. You must want to have a taste, right? After you're done, can you let us brothers have a taste too? We've been bored out of our minds these past few days."
