Chen Jianjun Defeated, Greetings, Sister-in-Law!

Within Yu Xiaolong's body, Soul Power surged, and a special force rapidly gathered, then merged into his ninth Soul Ring.

The Soul Ring, which was originally below 100,000 years old, suddenly underwent a significant change in aura, its age forcibly increased to nearly 100,000 years.

Yu Xiaolong could clearly feel that his physical strength and the power of his Soul Skill had been further enhanced, while the Thunder Soul Core was rapidly replenishing the Soul Power consumed by fusing with the True Dragon Nine Crowns.

Feeling this power, he was even more satisfied. With the Soul Core, the side effects of the True Dragon Nine Crowns were indeed not as unbearable as before.

"Chen Jianjun, you'd better be prepared for this next move!"

Yu Xiaolong roared, and his ninth Soul Ring flashed suddenly. Terrifying Thunder power gathered wildly in mid-air, eventually forming an incomparably powerful attack.

Faced with this power, Chen Jianjun's expression finally changed.

He could clearly sense that this attack had surpassed the level of the previous one, and even with the Seven Kill Avatar and domain amplification, he could not afford to be careless.

"Seven Kill Sword Art!"

Chen Jianjun roared angrily, his Seven Kill Sword flashing repeatedly, nine "kill" characters forming in succession.

The nine sword intents resonated with each other, eventually merging into one, transforming into the strongest attack he could unleash at this moment, directly confronting Yu Xiaolong's ninth Soul Skill.

Boom!

A deafening roar suddenly erupted as Thunder collided head-on with the nine "kill" characters, instantly unleashing a dazzling light in mid-air.

Just as the two forces were locked in a stalemate, Ning Fengzhi below finally couldn't sit still any longer.

He immediately released his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, preparing to provide auxiliary enhancement for Chen Jianjun.

"Seven treasures transform into crystal!"

As Soul Power surged, the amplified light quickly fell upon Chen Jianjun.

However, a bizarre scene unfolded.

The moment the auxiliary light touched Chen Jianjun, Ning Fengzhi's Soul Power seemed to have a floodgate opened, flowing outwards wildly.

In just a moment, his Soul Power was almost completely drained, and he could barely stand.

Ning Fengzhi's expression changed drastically, and he quickly stopped providing assistance, but he had very little Soul Power left in his body and could no longer provide any help.

Without this support, Chen Jianjun's already disadvantageous offensive suddenly showed a flaw, and Yu Xiaolong seized the opportunity to break through the nine "kill" characters.

The next moment, the raging Thunder completely engulfed Chen Jianjun.

"Puff!"

Chen Jianjun suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward and crashing heavily to the ground.

His robes were tattered from the Thunder, his body was covered in charred marks, and his breath had become extremely weak.

This battle ultimately ended in his defeat.

Yu Xiaolong retracted his Martial Soul Avatar, reverting to human shape. He glanced at Chen Jianjun lying on the ground and coldly said, "This time, consider it a small lesson for your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"

After saying this, he ignored the crowd below and flew away from Seven Treasure Mountain.

Ning Fengzhi watched Yu Xiaolong's departing figure, then looked at the heavily injured Chen Jianjun, his face turning extremely grim.

He knew that this time, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect not only lost a sparring match, but was also severely punished by their opponent.

One day later.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

After Yu Xiaolong returned to the family, Yu Yuanzhen immediately came to greet him and asked eagerly, "Father, what was the result?"

Yu Xiaolong burst into laughter, his expression quite smug. "What else could happen? That old bastard Chen Jianjun got a good beating from me!"

"In the end, that brat Ning Fengzhi even tried to use the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to assist him, but the assistance only lasted a second before his own Soul Power was completely drained. Hahahaha, don't make me laugh to death!"

Upon hearing Yu Yuanzhen couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

Although he had long known that his father's strength had greatly increased after his breakthrough, he never expected that he could defeat Chen Jianjun so decisively in this battle.

However, he quickly thought of another problem.

"Father, did you use the True Dragon Nine Crowns this time?"

Yu Xiaolong nodded and said, "One crown was used."

"With the Thunder Soul Core, I feel that fusing one or two crowns won't have too many side effects. At most, I'll just feel exhausted, but I can recover after a short rest."

"This Soul Core is really a good thing!"

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Yu Yuanzhen's eyes.

If the cost of using the True Dragon Nine Crowns could be reduced, the value of this family treasure would undoubtedly increase further. But then, he thought of Yu Changge.

"Father, if the True Dragon Nine Crowns were passed down to Changge later, would he accept it?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaolong slowly suppressed his smile and pondered seriously for a moment.

"I had the same idea, but while the True Dragon Nine Crowns are powerful, at most they can only raise one's own nine Soul Ring to a level close to 100,000 years."

"For Changge, this isn't actually as significant as one might imagine, given his strength and the number of abilities he possesses."

Yu Xiaolong continued, "Moreover, if we were to truly fuse all nine crowns, the consumption of Soul Power and Bloodline Power would be enormous. If it really came to that, we might even have to trade our lives for it."

The True Dragon Nine Crowns is indeed a powerful trump card, but it's not suitable for everyone to use. It can only be used with a death wish, making it a one-time trump card.

After a moment's thought, Yu Yuanzhen said, "Then let's tell Changge about this after they all return from Sea God Island."

"If he doesn't need it, we could consider passing it on to his parents. As long as it's not combined with the final three crowns, there shouldn't be too much of a problem."

Yu Xiaolong nodded, indicating his approval of the arrangement.

Because of Yu Changge, everyone in his family, except for the good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang, has greatly improved, and the only thing they can be proud of is this True Dragon Nine Crowns.

Sunset City.

Early that morning, Yu Changge and Gu Yuena got up and tidied themselves up. Then they rented a carriage and set off for Vast Sea City in the west.

Inside the carriage, Gu Yuena looked at Yu Changge curiously and couldn't help but ask, "Where are we going?"

Yu Changge said, "Vast Sea City, we are preparing to go out to sea. We may encounter some dangers. If you want to back out now, it's not too late."

After listening, Gu Yuena shook her head and said softly, "Being with you, I know no one else on this continent besides you."

And so, the two traveled westward by carriage, and after half a month, they finally arrived at Vast Sea City.

As soon as she entered the city, Gu Yuena was immediately drawn to everything around her.

She looked at the pedestrians on the street with curiosity, then couldn't help but take a deep breath, her purple eyes suddenly brightening.

"The air here seems very different from that inland!"

Yu Changge smiled and explained, "This place is close to the sea, so the air naturally smells of the sea."

Gu Yuena nodded, clearly even more excited about the upcoming trip.

Yu Changge first found a tavern, intending to fill their stomachs.

After traveling for half a month, he wanted to rest well and have a good meal, especially with Gu Yuena was also a foodie, by his side.

Upon entering the tavern, Yu Changge immediately ordered a table full of local seafood specialties.

Steamed grouper, steamed lobster with garlic, spicy crab, grilled squid, salt and pepper mantis shrimp, boiled prawns, seafood fried rice, fish ball soup, steamed sea snails, and a large bowl of seafood porridge—the dishes were so plentiful they almost couldn't fit on the table.

These unique seafood dishes are far superior to those from my previous Blue Star. They are all made with corresponding Sea Soul Beast as ingredients, and the meat is much more delicious.

Gu Yuena's eyes lit up when she saw the table full of delicious food. She picked up her chopsticks and couldn't wait to start eating.

"Delicious! This is delicious too!"

Seeing her enjoying her meal, Yu Changge also tried a few bites.

It must be said that the seafood in Vast Sea City is indeed quite unique. The ingredients are fresh, and the cooking methods are varied, making for a distinctive taste.

However, the two of them clearly ate more than anyone around them had expected.

As dish after dish was served and quickly devoured, nearby diners couldn't help but glance at them frequently.

"My goodness, they ordered so much, and they still haven't finished eating?"

"Look closely, that girl has already finished two bowls of seafood rice, and there's still so much food on the table!"

"So good-looking, yet with such an amazing appetite! How much did this meal cost? And it's all top-grade soul beast meat!"

The murmurs of the group reached her ears, but Gu Yuena seemed not to hear them, continuing to focus intently on the food in front of her.

She picked up a peeled prawn and handed it to Yu Changge, saying, "The food here is delicious, you should try some!"

Yu Changge said "okay," and then took the prawn and ate it.

Gu Yuena then continued eating with satisfaction, seemingly unaffected by the stares of those around her.

It wasn't until the food on the table was almost finished that Yu Changge noticed there was still a little sauce on the corner of her mouth.

He picked up a tissue from the side and wiped her face for her.

Gu Yuena didn't react at all; she just raised her head and looked at him, without much of a reaction.

This scene, however, took on a completely different meaning in the eyes of those around it.

A handsome man and a stunningly beautiful woman were not only eating together, but the man also so naturally wiped the woman's mouth. They looked like a couple with a good relationship.

Yu Changge didn't care at all. After the two had eaten and drunk their fill, they paid the bill and left the tavern with Gu Yuena.

The two first found a hotel, checked in, and put down their luggage. Then, Yu Changge took Gu Yuena out and headed directly towards the Spirit Hall Branch in the city.

When the two arrived at the entrance of the branch hall, someone had already gone in to announce their arrival.

Not long after, a middle-aged man strode out; he was none other than Han Jing, the Branch Hall Master the Martial Soul Branch Hall of Vast Sea City.

Han Jing recognized Yu Changge at a glance and quickly stepped forward to bow. "Your Highness, your subordinate Han Jing greets you!"

Yu Changge waved his hand and smiled, "No need for formalities. I'm here today because I need your help with something."

Han Jing quickly replied, "Your Highness, please feel free to give your orders, and I will do my utmost to fulfill them!"

As he spoke, his gaze inadvertently fell on Gu Yuena, who was standing next to Yu Changge.

The next moment, he was completely stunned.

She was a stunningly beautiful woman with silver hair and purple eyes. Her appearance was even more outstanding than Bibi Dong, whom he had seen before, and her temperament had an indescribable aloofness and purity.

Han Jing's heart skipped a beat, and a thought involuntarily popped into his head: Could this be His Highness's second girlfriend?

Thinking of this, he immediately smiled and respectfully said, "Greetings, sister-in-law!"

Yu Changge: "..."

He glanced at Han Jing helplessly and explained, "Don't talk nonsense. She's a new friend I just met, not my sister-in-law."

Han Jing nodded hurriedly. "Yes, yes, I understand!"

Although he said that, he didn't completely believe it in his heart.

After all, Yu Changge was willing to bring such a beautiful woman along, which didn't seem like they were just ordinary friends.

What's more, when he called her "sister-in-law" just now, the girl didn't seem to mind at all.

This matter is probably not as simple as Your Highness makes it out to be.

However, Han Jing was also aware of his own position, and he knew not to ask questions he shouldn't, much less to casually share such speculations.

So he quickly gathered his thoughts and brought the topic back to the main point.

"Your Highness, may I ask what brings you here today?"

Yu Changge said directly, "I'm preparing to go to sea. In the next few days, please prepare a boat for me and arrange some accompanying personnel."

Han Jing's expression turned serious, and he asked earnestly, "Your Highness, are you preparing to travel to the Sun-Moon Continent?"

He also had some understanding of the Sun-Moon Continent, knowing that it was separated from the Douluo Continent by a vast sea, and that if he wanted to go there, he would have to prepare ships and enough manpower in advance.

To everyone's surprise Yu Changge shook her head. "Not the Sun-Moon Continent. This time, I'm going to explore a new continent."

Upon hearing this, Han Jing was startled, but he did not ask any further questions and continued to listen to Yu Changge's instructions.

"On this voyage, we might encounter attacks from Sea Soul Beast, so the crew members you've prepared for me can't be too weak."

Yu Changge paused, then continued, "Their primary task is to protect the ship from attack. As for everything else, leave it to me."

Han Jing immediately understood his meaning and replied, "Your Highness, please give me three days. I will immediately gather a group of capable people, all of whom will have at least the Soul King Soul Power!"

Yu Changge nodded in satisfaction and patted Han Jing on the shoulder.

"Then it's up to you. If you do a good job, your position will be moved up once this is over."

Upon hearing this, Han Jing's face lit up with delight.

He is already a level 84 Soul Douluo. If he can advance further, it is not impossible for him to be transferred to the main hall of the Spirit Hall or to take up a position in an important place such as the Spirit Hall Branch in Heaven Dou City.

Thinking of this, he was immediately filled with enthusiasm and quickly assured his subordinate, "Your Highness, rest assured, I will handle it perfectly!"

He desperately wants to improve!

Over the next three days, Yu Changge did not rush to leave, but instead took Gu Yuena on a leisurely tour of Vast Sea City.

Along the way, he continued to teach Gu Yuena some common sense, so that she wouldn't make the same mistake she did in the clothing store because she didn't know anything.
